G'day Lyndon Sorry for the very late reply. I have just today fixed a few issues in my Debian Live setup and been able to test your changes. Covid has got in the way of so much and I'm an essential worker. Anyway ...I did a "regular" build and confirmed it installed systemd-sysv and then removed

That's fine Lyndon. I've just come back from lunch and found it didn't complete the build. Here's the build.log at the failure point. "[2021-08-31 11:53:20] lb chroot_archives binary install P: Configuring file /etc/apt/sources.list Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading

Oh yes, sorry I should have mentioned - there's nothing I could do to stop the systemd packages from being downloaded, I could only prevent them from being installed, so you'll just have to ignore those 'retrieving' and 'validating' lines. Most of the changes I've made in the fix is actually to

Just to add to the previous message all I want to stop is systemd-sysv from downloading and installing then being removed . It isn't efficient and doesn't provide users with much choice. Thanks again for your efforts. Cheers. Michael. On 31/08/2021, Michael AU wrote: > Hi Lyndon > > It appears

Hi Lyndon It appears as though the patch isn't working. Please note below the relevant section from the build log. "I: Retrieving libsystemd0 247.3-6 I: Validating libsystemd0 247.3-6 I: Retrieving libudev1 247.3-6 I: Validating libudev1 247.3-6 I: Retrieving systemd 247.3-6 I: Validating systemd

Sorry for the delay. There are several ways to accomplish installing a copy of the modified code for testing. The simplest would be if I could wrap it up into a new `.deb` package for you to simply install, but I'm not familiar enough with debian packaging to get that done, sorry. So

Lyndon I really appreciate the effort you put in for this. I probably will need instructions on how to test with the patch but I will test it over the next few days and let you know how it goes. Cheers. Michael. On 25/08/2021, Lyndon Brown wrote: > Just to update you since my previous reply: >

Just to update you since my previous reply: - I've filed a bug report for this issue - #992916 ([1]). - I've produced a patch (MR found at [2]) that should fix the broken/incomplete implementation of `--initsystem sysvinit`. If you could please test this that would be great. It took some hours

I see. As I said, I'm very busy with little to no time to spare for live-build work / support currently, so I'm afraid there's a limit to how much I can help with this. However... The first thing that I would say is that I'm not certain whether a working sysvinit setup is possible on Debian

Re: "mode" option in live config

Hi Lyndon, thanks for your reply. My query about "mode" is because I want to use sysvinit instead of systemd. I can build an MX style system but it always pulls in systemd-sysv even though it is pinned as don't install. I tried using Devuan but it doesn't work in live-build anymore, and while

The live-build `--mode` option was for allowing for any variations necessary for building images for derivative distros, like Ubuntu and "Progress" (which is/was a distro produced by the original live-build author Daniel B). In part this includes adjusting labels and filenames. Furthermore it

"mode" option in live config

2021-07-05 Thread Michael AU
In live build and associated packages there is an option in the config file for "mode". It used to have Debian. Progress, and I think Ubuntu. I am trying to find the files that are associated with this option so I can look at how each option differs from the others. Does anyone know which
