That is standard FC26 + Strech-Debain + Whonix. I also successful built standard + minimal of those to iso as well. Next I will try adding in certain other templates 1 by 1. A correction on the instructions to build these 4.0 ISOs: You need significantly more private store drive space in the VM. I am using a stand-alone VM FC23 so I have more initial space taken up. Still with an app vm its 2x what the old docs recommend as a minimum. For just the standard build I needed 60gigbyes. For the standard + minimal 65 gig just barely made it. Best to have 70 gigs. My guess if you wanted to build all the non EOL templates for 4.0rc4 if they all can be built would be 100 gigs. I will continue to see what will build and the space needed. My guess is some laptops especially that are running ssd will not have the drive space to build depending on what's used up already for your system data. Looks like I finally have to add the 1tb Samsung Pro SED SSD in the optical bay for vm user data. Still not sure what program differences between the full-loaded-template vs Standard-templates. For me I would rather manually add the programs I wanted in each area. I may try the builds for those so we know if the build or not. I may also try the last template version to be EOL'd such as fc25 for fedora etc but that will be last. Too bad I do not have quad xeons 1000 +gigs of ram workstations vs the T440 with I7 + 16gig. I could get these built in 15-30 min rather than 3 hrs.

I had done that on templates when working out issues back before we all got archlinux building well. Did not think of if for this. So far this time its still running on the build so hopefully in a few hours I will have an iso. We will see. After that I think I will start adding in other templates to make a list of what works. As I can leave it to do its thing will not be a big waste of time. I am thinking minimal templates should also work. Then its onto Centos. I prefer it leaps and bounds over Fedora.

Another thing you can try if you're frequently getting download issues (status code 503 is server issue, not missing file) is to build one group of components at a time instead of the full list (which "make qubes" does). If you want to try that instead, do "make help" and look for the list of components towards the end. It's like 10 lines long. Then start copying and pasting them into make, one batch at a time, like "make vmm-xen core-libvirt core-vchan-xen" for the first batch. That way if it fails you don't have to go so far back.

[qubes-users] Building Qubes 4rc4 iso from source
Has anyone accomplished a clean build? I have tried with a standard builder.conf as well as using the ./setup script to create the builder.conf. Doing the builder.conf from example when I uncomment whonix I am asked for git username and password during #make get-sources for that. Even with it removed during #make qubes I get failures. Using ./setup I have tried numerous combos of the various templates offered removing ones that create errors. Still I can not get a clean build. It maybe because I am picking templates that while listed do not actually work with 4.0. If this is the case which templates should work with building 4.0? "Example last time I had it fail during the initial build steps of FC26+fully loaded with error: Building template fc26 (logfile: build-logs/template-fc26.log)... Makefile:297: recipe for target 'template-local-fc26+fullyloaded' failed make: *** [template-local-fc26+fullyloaded] Error 1" I did have some null failures but I think it had to do with misdirection of log.txt as it did not stop the build example below: " Installing core RPM packages... install-info: No such file or directory for /dev/null install-info: No such file or directory for /dev/null install-info: No such file or directory for /dev/null install-info: No such file or directory for /dev/null Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory Failed to set locale, defaulting to C Running in chroot, ignoring request. -> Installing package groups... Failed to set locale, defaulting to C" All I really care about in the end is a way to get a clean build of the latest release being 4.0rc4. I did not have these issues before building 3.1 and 3.2. Ideally I would like to build an iso with FC25, Fc26, Debian Stretch, Whonix, Centos7 would like the standard and minimal where they are available. Not sure exactly what is difference between the standard Template and fully-loaded one. I get minimal but did not realize there were fully loaded and standard. I tried picking all of them but got failures. After removing a number of them and still getting failures I decided it was time to ask some questions as my search-fu turned up nothing helpful. I am working in a 3.1 fc23 standalone VM in it phython2.sh is not found in repo so I loaded it as a rpm. If you load only python.sh you get error looking for python2.sh Other than that I have not seen anything error specific to building in FC23 Tim Cheers, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
