Building restore CD issues

@uroni, I am attempting to build the restore CD on a VM built from Debian 7 and when I run build_image.sh it fails with cp: cannot stat ‘binary.hybrid.iso’. Right before that I get an error of “E: Unable to locate package gnu-fdisk”.

I have tried Googling for those strings, and I do not get anything that I recognize as relevant. Any ideas?

Sorry, that is normal package churn I guess.

Can you replace gnu-fdisk in the package.lists with util-linux? Here is a list of packages which contain fdisk: https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=fdisk&mode=path&suite=stable&arch=any

Certainly no need to apologize, I appreciate all of the work that you are doing. Little things like this are to be completely expected.

I did. That got me farther, but now it shits itself with this error message:

I hesitate to even mention systemd as the mere mention of that package can start a holy war in some circles…but that is what happened. Any idea now?

Can you try the attached configuration? urbackup_cd_build_2015-08-05.tar.xz (37.9 KB)

Still no dice.

That is on a completely unchanged version of the files you attached. What version of Debian are you building on, and does that matter?

Oh, and thank again for your help with this. It really is appreciated.

There probably is a more detailed error message earlier. You can remove firmware packages which you do not need and cause problems.

I’m building on Debian Jessie.

Maybe run dist-upgrade?

Otherwise I’d, as said, just remove firmware-ipw2x00 from package-lists/tools.list.chroot. Maybe it has to have you agree to a license in your country…

Goddamnit. Of course, this cannot be easy. Now I am getting the systemd errors again. I did dist-upgrade and removed the firmware you suggested. Any other ideas?

cp: cannot stat `live-image-i386.hybrid.iso’: No such file or directory

BTW, the frustration I expressed earlier was in regards to building a LiveCD in general, not specifically to building your LiveCD. :slight_smile:

@uroni, do you have any further ideas? Would attempting it from a new Jessie VM be worthwhile?

No further ideas. It seems we are using the same system and config. Restarting from scratch may be worthwhile…

Thank you. I will try it this afternoon. VMs are cheap. :wink:

@uroni, using the updated build that you posted earlier I get:

This is on a brand new Debian 8.1 64-bit VM that I just built today. This is more than a bit frustrating.

Would it be possible to create a new Live-CD config and then copy in the UrBackup specific portions of it? If you could delineate some sort of process for what is specific to your CD, I could work through it and probably learn a lot about building Live-CDs.

@uroni, would you care to see what version of live-build you are using? I am at a dead end here.

I think you are not using Debian 8.1 but Debian unstable. Usually this is okay because the Debian maintainers put upstream releases in there. In case of live-build development builds land in there (in your case 5.0~a10-1). The “a” probably stands for “alpha”. You should use a proper version of live-build like I do.

Debian 8.1, not unstable. I reverted back to live-build 3.0.5-1 and it still fails.

What specific version of live-build are you using? And, is it at all possible that the de mirrors in your live-build configuration are causing the issues?

I tried with Debian 8.8 and managed to build the iso successfully.

However, the following errors are encountered while booting a system with the newly created CD:

“kernel panic-not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0.0)”

The CD downloaded from the Urbackup site boots up okay on this same machine. I also noticed that there is a difference in file size between the .iso files created by manual build and downloading off the website.

The working iso is about 300mb in size while the not working one is only about 180mb.

I am also wondering if we should be building the CD on an i386 or amd64 debian? Is the provided tgz file for building on i386 system?

Any ideas?
