remastersys dead or alive???

[podagee]

i agree with fragadelic.you are a troll.
im assuming you are getting the broken pipe error which has to be do in su terminal.then input the wget for the key.i have made 2 backups for my mint 14 32bit cinnamon and for my 64bit mint 14 kde.if you are unfamiliar with remastersys then obviously you arent going to know how to work it.but all i can say is that it works.remastersys is a beautiful masterpiece for any debian-based distro.if only fragadelic,you could make an edition for windows 7.i dislike their backup.thank you fragadelic.forget what people may say,i really enjoy your contribution to the linux world.

The biggest issue I come across almost all the time has absolutely nothing to do with remastersys and I tell them how to test it.

The issue is that they do not have the system setup for their default settings. This can be simply tested even without remastersys - just create a new temp user and see what defaults that user has by simply logging in and not clicking on anything else in terms of desktop environment - those are the system defaults and if that doesn't match what you want then you need to set the defaults properly. This is what will be the default for the live system.

podagee - thanks for your support.

I have working remasters of all desktops and window managers that I can test. Currently you can even download a beta version of remastersys for debian wheezy. What folks sometimes forget is that the underlying ubuntu base of mint doesn't always contain the proper scripts for live booting and setting up things like mdm but if it is released with Mint then it should be available in the mint repo.

Making a proper distribution is not a trivial thing and everyone thinks they can and should be able to do this. If you have enough knowledge of linux, debian, ubuntu and the command line then it is easily achieved even without remastersys but if you do not have all those requirements it can be a difficult and daunting task. Far too many folks blame remastersys for their shortcomings.

I have never claimed remastersys will completely setup your system for a live distro - this is the responsibility of the individual. There are far too many different window managers and desktop environments for me to even consider making customization stuff for, especially since there are other tools that already do that for you.

[podagee]

so is there any version for windows 7? i know its built on linux but it too would make a nice edition for dual-booters like me.

[podagee]

fragadelic,i have actually ran into major freezes with the backup.i tried installing and it doesnt move affter 3 quarters of copying files.so at the moment i wont be using remastersys

[Fragadelic]

Those are probably due to a network share mounted with gvfs since gvfs mounts everything in your home folder. You have to ensure that you don't have any network shares mounted or that you don't have any virtual machines or anything in your home folder. If you do, you should exclude them prior to remastering.

[Fragadelic]

Forgot to mention. I'm in the final stages of testing and preparing the remastersys 3.0.4 version for Ubuntu that supports 10.04 up to and including 12.10.

aw man thats what the dropbox kept popping up during running the live selection and installer.its ok now i know.thanks fragadelic.i will try again.

[podagee]

gonna try it right now with virtual-box and drop-box uninstalled.i'll let you know the outcome,probably by tomorrow.

[Fragadelic]

You shouldn't have to uninstall them, just don't run them and for the virtual box machines, move their virtual hard drives to /media while you remaster and then move them back.

[podagee]

okay ive tried it without dropbox and it went perfectly.alright now i got my backups corrected.thanks again.

[Fragadelic]

I just released 3.0.4-1 that fully supports ubuntu 12.10.

hey fragadelic,remastersys keeps breaking my system and not installing the custom.iso it creates.i am on mint 14 kde x64.dont know what the problem is now,but,it aint working for nothing.the only thing it does is put my pc in grub rescue?please help with this.
oh and i recieved an update for remastersys earlier.i am using remastersys-gui

[podagee]

giving it another go this time from the terminal instead of the gui.i'll post in a few

[podagee]

failure after failure.nothing seems to work.it seems broken?while doing the terminal way it shows a bunch of missing files?some help

[podagee]

okay fragadelic,remastersys for mint kde x64 does not work with either precise or the quantal source.one last attempt i will make before i quit with remastersys.

[podagee]

thanks for the effort fragadelic,but,it just does not work.im done messing with it because it is very time consuming to uninstall,install,build,and erase.rip remastersys

[podagee]

good news i uninstalled mint kde x64 and installed ubuntu 12.10,erased everything and have only cinnamon as a desktop and remastersys worked.it seems 32bit works perfectly and not the 64bit.

[SurfaceUnits]

I have remastered UGSR 12.04 and Ubuntu Studio 12.10 64-bit with outstandingly superb success.

Since when did you have a forum and if so then why have I not heard about it. I am not a troll, I am a angry person who was tired of remastersys crashing his computer! No one wants to use a terminal who is in a hurry or new to linux! I also hate when people don't keep up to date on a forum. Why should I have to remember details for acounts for a piece of software that I don't like. Wine, playonlinux, wine forums, linux mint forums, gamester81 forums, pokeboard, pokecommunity, wikipedia, youtube, facebook, twitter, fanfiction.com, even if I did know of your forum why should I remember another user name and password. Relinux is much, better and I like it, you might not, but I do, so what we like is relative. Now if you don't mind I need to take some cough medicen to controle my feaver!
