Thanks for the help, Sorry, I completely forgot to include my auto file, it looks like this #!/bin/sh lb config noauto \ --architectures i386 \ --linux-flavours 486 \ --mirror-bootstrap http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian \ --mirror-chroot http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ \ --mirror-binary http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ \ --mirror-chroot-security http://security.debian.org/debian/ \ --archive-areas "main contrib non-free" \ --apt-recommends disabled \ --apt aptitude \ -d wheezy \ --debian-installer live \ "${@}"
in binary.packages none of the packages I mention are listed (including linux-firmware) can't find a log file ________________________________ From: Ben Armstrong <[email protected]> To: d q <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 6, 2013 6:03 PM Subject: Re: live build doesn't install my packages.chroot deb's On 06/04/13 08:52 AM, d q wrote: > I'm hoping someone can offer some advice because I've done my best > following the manual and I can build a Live iso alright, but I think You think? You can directly observe one of three ways: - Check binary.packages - Check your log of your build - Check the running live system with dpkg -l packagename > that certain packages are not being installed to the filesystem which > I've put in packages.chroot. So, using which version of live-build? Can you show us your 'lb config' line (or better yet, auto/config, if you made one as live-manual recommends)? Also, provide a log of the build, please. > They are LibreOffice 4.02, refractasnapshot 9.0 and xnview 0.51. > > *I have checked the names with dpkg-name > *LibreOffice .deb packages are inside their own sub-directory -any problem? I've never done that before nor does the doc say that's possible. My conservative stance is to assume nothing, and therefore I'd say you shouldn't do that. > *I assume that firmware-linux .deb packages do install because since > adding them to packages.chroot I've had no live build hiccups. Again, you assume? Why assume when you can directly observe? Ben
