BitJam:
Sorry to report your new file did'nt work either. Same issue- "could not find a syslinux or isolinux directory".

Anticapitalista's gui program worked. Why not see how he did t? Iam curious too.

It runs here without an issue.
I have invoked it with giving parameter -f iso-file,
where iso-file is just symlink from my antiX-ISO folder somwhere else:
Extracted and run from command line: - and it boots also fine...
I've fuseiso installed.

His program just calls an earlier version of my program.

Another thing to try is to try to just redo the installation step after it fails:

Code: Select all

sudo ./live-usb-maker install
Whether this works or continues to fail, I'd really like to see /var/log/live-usb-maker.log from when it fails.

This is the same as before but I changed the sense of --force=automount so automounting is disabled by default on antiX. I also added a 2 second delay (*sigh*) between when I create the new partitions and when I grab them back from the automounter. You could test this by using --force=automount which will now allow antiX automounting while we are running.

But the first priority is to see if this new code fixes the fragmentation problem on rs55's system when fuseiso and/or fuseiso9660 is used.

I'm seeing this on my MX system with your version 2 code

Re: antiX live usb issue

#66 Post by BitJam »

Thanks dolphin_oracle! Strange things start happening during the early part of copy-main and then after that it appears that the partitions of the live-usb may no longer be mounted because there are bunch of errors. Those early errors in copy-main mean the vmlinuz and initrd.gz files may be missing which means it will be hard to boot no matter what happens after that.

FWIW, here are the first lines where I see something wrong:

Code: Select all

    local files=$(cd $from && find . -type f | grep -v delete_this_file)

    local vmlinuz_files=$(echo "$files" | grep "/vmlinuz[1-9]\?$")
    local   initrd_file=$(echo "$files" | grep "/initrd.gz$")
I first get a list of all the files in the iso file. Then I grep to get the /vmlinuz files (with possible trailing 1, 2, 3) and the initrd.gz file. Yet when you run, both $vmlinuz_files and $initrd_files are empty strings. But then I use that same list of files to copy all of the other files to the live-usb. I imagine that copy takes the normal amount of time so the list of files is non-empty and most of the files exist on the iso and get copied over.


I have a few more ideas now. Thanks again! You were a BIG help!

Edit: I can't figure out why it works fine here and for fehlix but not for anti, d.o., or rs55. I tried it on a nearly virgin antiX-17.4 live system both in the console and in X-windows. Worked fine. I've tried it with cloning and from an iso file. It worked fine. Then I downloaded the new keys and did a dist-upgrade and remaster and it still worked fine. The errors in d.o.'s log file are very strange yet I imagine they are consistent on the systems where it fails to work.

Re: antiX live usb issue

#67 Post by BitJam »

I'm still baffled. I've attached a 3rd tarball. The only difference is I changed the directory name live-usb-maker/ to new-LUM/ and I added an old-LUM/ directory with live-usb-maker from antiX-17.4. If you run this version of LUM it will still use the new library and the changes there are almost entirely dealing with fuseiso and fragmentation. If that works then it will mean the strange new problem comes from my other changes to LUM. Otherwise, they will be due to the changes I made in the lib so we cut the search space in half. As a bonus, if the old LUM works with the new lib for rs55 then we will know if I solved the fragmentation problem or not.

Maybe my brain will be more clear after I get some rest. ATM I cannot image what could cause this cascade of strange problems and I have even less of an idea of why they happen the same way (I imagine) on some systems but don't show up at all for me or fehlix.

I was able to reproduce the error! The problem is the fuesiso9660 program. If you uninstall this package and reinstall fuseiso then we should be back on track. I will change my code back so it only looks for fuseiso but the new LUM should work fine with fuseiso. Again, I want to thank fehlix for his help and useful discussions.

Hi BitJam:
Glad you have figured this out. Will your changes make it into updates for the basic "stable" release? At the moment, my system is working fine with the gui that anticapitalista provided and fuseiso9660. So I will leave that alone until a new LUM is released.
Thanks for including me in your process.

I need your help rs55. There was nothing wrong with my code. The problem is in fuseiso9660. Please uninstall fuseiso9660 and reinstall fuseiso and try my new code and see if it fixes your fragmentation problem.

The reason anticapitalista's "solution" worked is he was calling my old code that doesn't use fuseiso9660. The fuseiso9660 program is broken and does not work. It was causing all of those strange problems you and anticapitialista and d.o. had when using my new code. One change I made in the new code is I used fuseiso9660 if it was available. I will certainly fix this but we still need to see if my new code fixed your fragmentation problem. The reason my new code worked for me and for fehlix is we both knew fuseiso works so neither one of us tried changing to fuseiso9660. I was able to reproduce the plethora of strange problems when I used fuseiso9660 instead of fuseiso.

Since yours is the only system we know of that has the fragmentation problem please uninstall fuseiso9660, reinstall fuseiso and try my new code again. All of the new problems were caused by fuseiso9660.
