customizer's Issues

Xephyr big window

How can I change Xephyr window size?

I set the resolution of Xephyr to 800x600 (default value) but when I run it; It shows very big window so I can't modify anything through it!

vmlinuz.efi not found after build with 12.04-2 x64

Hello,

after having built my ISO from an Ubuntu 12.04-2 x64 ISO, at boot it gives me /casper/vmlinuz.efi not found. I've spent a little time looking into /opt/Customizer/scripts/rebuild but I haven't found a way to correct it.
For the moment, being in a rush, I've just copied /casper/vmlinuz into /casper/vmlinuz.efi in ISO directory but that's not a solution, obviously, just a bad patch due to my being late with job.

Thanks,
Silvia

Unable to work with Cinnamon under Mint 16

When I tried to use Customizer to customize Mint 16 x64 Cinnamon I got this error after running Xephyr
Full log: http://pastebin.com/KeDXBQnY

How can I fix this issue?

P.S. Since 15 days I'm trying Customizer and I couldn't until now create any successful distro?! I'm very frustrated :(

ISSUE SUBMISSION GUIDE

To report issues, click New Issue button. You will have to log into your account at GitHub or create a new account. Then, write your issue in detail.

For End users

User should write at least something like this:

 Running Customizer 3.2.1 PPA on Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit host.
 Selected ubuntu-mini-remix-12.04-amd64.iso, after select 'Build',
   cannot create ISO image file, Terminal shows output error like this:
 “Error 119: No kernel found when compiling image”.

Remember to provide as much as possible information. Those will be the clues on how we can solve the issue. User can include other information, such as:

Screenshots --- User can easily upload single or multiple images within the same text area, when submitting issue via GitHub. Else, include permalink to cloud storage location (if any).
Log files --- Run Customizer from Terminal, Select All output that appear in Terminal, then copy-paste the output to Pastebin.com. Else, include permalink to cloud storage location (if any).
Step-by-step instruction --- Tell us how to reproduce the issue from start until end. Recommended for users who can recall everything.

Note that only issues found in latest release of Customizer are concerned (User can see the latest version announced at Customizer Wiki page on GitHub). Issues in older versions will be ignored.

For Development Team

Here is how to identify the issues which are registered by Customizer Development Team, also known as official issues. The following format (standardized in user guide since 2012) shall be used:

 ISSUE-YYYY-NNN (OPTIONAL TITLE)
 in which,
    YYYY is a four-digit year
    NNN is a three-digit issue number registered for that year
and
    OPTIONAL TITLE is the short description for the issue, to be readable.

For example, in user guide, there are six issues identified in 2011, so the registered issue numbers are ISSUE-2011-001 .. ISSUE-2011-006. But since no new issues being identified in 2012, following issues found are named as ISSUE-2013-001, and -002.

Hence, official issues submission for this year shall be ISSUE-2014-001, -002 and so forth.

What are official issues

To this date, the "official issues" refer to issues that have been identified by Customizer development team. The following criteria applies:

The issue still affects latest release of Customizer
The environment and/or factors that can reproduce the issue are well known
Based on criterion no.2, Customizer Development team is able to reproduce the issue

As such, typical issue submission by end users may not be registered as "official submission", unless satisifies all three conditions above.

The content of official issues

Issue name -- follow format as explained above
Summary -- short description of issue
Environment -- operating system, applications affected
Description -- long description of issue
Workaround -- temporal cure or clever tricks with limitations, but doesn't solve the issue
Solution -- permanent cure that solves the issue

How to manage resolved issues?

Previously, the user guide has been updated to remove resolved issues. This may explain why ISSUE-2012-001, etc. went missing in most recent user guide.

In contrast, when these issues are moved to GitHub and later resolved, these official issues will not be removed but only marked as "Closed". This is useful--whenever the issue was later found as unresolved, someone can reopen to rectify the issue again.

ISSUE-2011-001 (Some applications don't start in X-nested session)

Some applications don't start in the running X-nested session

Environment

Customizer 3.2 and newer releases, regardless of the environment.

Known applications with this issue:

Avant Window Navigator
Chromium Browser
Ibus daemon
nm-applet (GNOME applet for NetworkManager)

Description

Some applications can't be run as root or even if they run they can act a bit strange due to the granted permanent root access. If that is your case we can't help you, this is one of the limitations of doing chroot. Your best draw will be to contact the developers of the applications and ask for workaround.

The other issue might be D-Bus. Altough the host /var/lib/dbus and /var/run/dbus are mounted to the chroot you still may encounter issues with applications that require D-Bus (almost every GUI application needs it).

If you encounter problems running application inside the nested X-session you can try to run it from terminal (inside the chroot) to see what is going on during its startup. Some of them may have -d, --debug or -v, --verbose options which can be useful to see more, check its man pages and use that.

Workaround

For Avant Window Navigator:

In Customizer, click on Desktop button and wait for Xephyr to load the Live session desktop
From main menu, navigate to System > Preferences > Startup Applications (in GNOME 2.30, menu path varies on different Desktop Environment)
Add avant-window-navigator to the the startup list
Close the Xephyr window once (if your remix is using Xfce, you may need to Log out to save changes made to your current session)
Finally, click again on Desktop button

The Xephyr will now load the Live session desktop with Avant Window Navigator dock. Even with this workaround, you still cannot open its preferences in chroot environment. Hence, any customization needs to be done via GConf editor (in GNOME 2.30 and older) or DConf editor (in GNOME 3 or Unity).

Solution

None

Desktop not working?

It's probably not your fault.

I try to customize Ubuntu 13.10 GNOME 32-bit on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit. After installing some packages with the chrooted terminal, I wanted to open the desktop with the desktop button. Now customizer asks me whether to run

gnome-classic
gnome
ubuntu

I tried all three, but all I get is a black window "Xephyr" and a cursor. How to fix?
For example, if I try to run "gnome", it seems to stop at
** (update-notifier:25315): WARNING *: not starting for system user
(deja-dup-monitor:25322): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING *: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported

Unable to start xephyr

Hi,

when trying to run xephyr the following error occurs:

E: Command line option --ensure; is not understood
[!] Chroot has returned exit status

When trying to run package manager (synaptic) the following error message occurs:

E: Command line option ';' [from -f;] is not known.
[!] Chroot has returned exit status

Any quick-fix for this?

Support alternate Ubuntu ISOs

With Ubuntu you can download two ISOs:

desktop
alternate

Alternate is meant to create automated installs.
I use it in my company to do just that.

When I open alternate ISO with Customizer I get:
[] Executing extract at: 01:43:42/01-10-2012
[] Creating work directories
[] Mounting ISO
[] Checking ISO image
[X] This is not a usable ISO image

Error when compiling on Ubuntu 13.10

The ppa does not include files for 13.10
When I want to build it, it tries to install gambas2, which does not exist, either. Gambas3 does.
After fixing this issues, you will notice that "CLI.sh -g" will try to check "/home/FileSystem/", which does, of course, not exist.

Edit:
4) 'gksu /opt/Customizer/GUI.gambas' does not work after trying to tweak everything.

Edit2:
5) Even the CLI does not work for me. "The ISO image doesn't exists." (<- Typo!)

Ubuntu 12.04 host, Customizer 3.2.3, ubuntu-mini-remix-13.04-i386. Using Remix ISO,', cannot init live session , Terminal shows autentiphacion

i cant boot in the remix how i created with this tool.
Ubuntu:12.04
user autenticacion failure
im not passing to desktop or install.
can you help me, please?

installation from master branch

This issue is releated to issue #19.

The problem is that after installation with the install.sh script the GUI fails to execute with the following error as reported by OsdKnights

ERROR: #2: Cannot load class 'FMain': Unable to load class file

To avoid repeating my self I will quote here from issue #19:

Well, installing from the gambas3 branch works fine here, I can not test the gambas2 (master) branch since I'm running Debian Wheezy and Gambas2 packages are not available for it (at least from the official repositories). Thus, I'm waiting for someone to test that, Mubiin would do it if he had the time but I guess he's bussy right now.

The issue is probably cause by gambas2 versions incompatibility which the latest script should have solved, apparently it doesn't OR the source code is not incompatibility with the versions Ubuntu provides for you.

Some useful information:

host is Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
Gambas2 v2.23.1
last 4 comments on issue #19 are relevant for this one

Feedback from other users and patches welcome.

12.10 and Gamba3

Customizer doesn't install on Ubuntu 12.10 (and derivatives) because it depends on Gamba2 which has been replaced by Gamba3 in 12.10.

ISSUE-2011-006 (Keyboard mapping doesn't work in Xephyr)

When Desktop is launched, the keyboard mapping doesn’t work as it should even keyboard has been grabbed with Ctrl + Shift key combination.

Environment

Customizer 3.2 and newer releases, regardless of the environment.

Description

The Desktop refers to X-nested session in Xephyr. The alphanumeric keys, space bar, Backspace works; but ↑ key is mapped to PrntScrn, → key is mapped to Alt, and Delete keys, etc. doesn't work or mapped to unknown keys.

Workaround

Use mouse clicks and selections to do most of things. Instead of Delete key, use mouse cursor to select and Backspace key to delete particular words.

Solution

Upgrade Xephyr to latest version. Else, use backports for Ubuntu/Debian if needed (untested).

Customizer still running after finished and closed.

I used Customizer to create my own Ubuntu Mini Remix version. After finished I clicked "clean", which seemed to work fine, and closed the app. The window did close.

Some hours later I was checking system tasks for another reason and saw that Customizer was still running with some subprocesses and appeared to still have root access. I find this disconcerting and was immediately suspicious of intent. I killed them manually but there must be some problem here.

Please contact me if you need more info to track this down.

Adding PPA

I suggest to add a new button for adding PPAs just like Mint Cinnamon control panel as show below:

P.S. Usually it can be done through chroot by apt-add-repository [PPA]

Change default wallpaper of new users desktop

How can I change the default wallpaper of new users and LiveDVD user?
I don't know how can I do it from "Desktop" button!

insserv doesn't work with dpkg correctly in mini remix

I'm trying to use Ubuntu Mini Remix as a base for a very specialized derivative, but when trying to install/remove packages inside the chroot, insserv complains about nonexistent files or directories, and dpkg finishes with errors. One of the more important packages that runs into this issue is wpasupplicant, which is needed by wicd-daemon (a wireless manager daemon), and it can never install. Would this be in the remix itself, is it something about Customizer, or am I just a silly knucklehead?

Doesn't work under KDE based distros

As shown in the log I'm unable to load any ISO image by Customizer:
P.S. I'm using Mint KDE 15

ISSUE-2011-004 (Unable to login into created ISO Live image)

Unable to login into the created Live CD/DVD ISO image

Environment

Customizer 3.2 and newer releases, regardless of the environment.

Known application with this issue:

Dropbox 1.6

Description

There are some limitations in matter of what signs should be used for the live username, I can't say which exactly may cause issues but avoiding any special characters like ,.<>|%^&*() etc. should solve this problem. Also make sure to use US keyboard layout to enter that.

In related case, at least one user has attempted to install Dropbox using their official .deb file in chroot environment. This has also caused the rebuild ISO unable to login when boot as Live CD.

Workaround

None

Solution

Change the Live CD username to something simple, for example, "live" (without the quotes) and try to rebuild the ISO again.

Don't install Dropbox in chroot environment.

Customized ubuntu-amd-64 image not installing

Here are the basic repro steps:

Base image: Ubuntu LTS 12.04
Visualization: VirtualBox
Customizer version: 3.2.3

In virtualbox, I create a new VM and installed the vanilla ISO (from ubuntu.com). It installs as expected.

In Customizer, I "Select ISO" of the same ISO and click "Rebuild ISO" without any modifications. It produces another iso which I use to install on another VM in virtualbox.

During the installation, I get the following error in the copying files phase:

Invalid DOS Header Magic
Can't load image file /target/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-51-generic

Partial stack trace:
File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py" line 739 in install.run()
File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 134, in run self.copy_all()
....

Another discrepancy is that during the original ISO installation, Ubuntu asks for 4.4 GB of free space. During the customized ISO installation, Ubuntu asks for ~1.8 GB of free space.

The filesystem is locked

After installing some packages by "Install DEB" recently I'm unable to add new packages by using same button

[*] Executing extract at: CET 07:14:12 /26-01-2014
[*] Checking lock
[X] The filesystem is locked

How can I fix this issue without deleting current project and create a new project?

Desktop items not showing up in Xyphyr but do show in final build

I had removed some previously used files and folders from using Xyphyr however after building they continue to show up on the desktop of the built version. If I go back to Xyphyr they are gone.

/tmp

file/folder permissions needs to be set
mkdir /tmp seems to mess up the usage of the folder
but chmod 1777 /tmp seems to fix the issue.

hope this helps.

Unable to squash the filesystem

I'm testing Customizer 3.2.3 to rebuild my remix.

All features works, except when rebuilding ISO, it returns error "Unable to squash the filesystem".

The error apparently mentions invalid option when including "-wildcards -ef .." option.
This is regardless whichever compression method I'm using.

When I removed the "-wildcards -ef .." option from the "rebuild" script file,
I managed to rebuild ISO as per usual.

Any workaround or fix for this?

ISSUE-2011-003 (GUI with unexpected error at startup)

The GUI acts strange or exits with unexpected error during startup

Environment

Unknown

Description

The GUI is written in Gambas2 version 2.24 and the executable file is compiled with it. If you have newer or older version of Gambas this may cause issues.

Workaround

None

Solution

Install Gambas2 IDE and some additional components:

 gambas2-ide gambas2-runtime gambas2-gb-form gambas2-gb-gui

Above are the names of Gambas2 packages in Debian/Ubuntu. The names might be different if you are running other OS so use extended search or something when you query it using your package manager!

If the OS don't have package manager or these packages are not in packages database then you will have to compile Gambas. More instructions at http://gambasdoc.org/help/install

Then, you have the Gambas2 IDE to do the following:

If you had installed Customizer with the install script the GUI source should be already in /opt/Customizer, else clone the git with the install script
Run Gambas IDE, navigate to /opt/Customizer/GUI and click Open or double click on the folder, either way will do
There is a menu in the top left corner. Navigate to Project > Clean up . Now click on Tools > Update all forms
Navigate trough the same menu Project > Make > Executable and place the executable file in /opt/Customizer or replace if needed. If you can't write to that directory then chmod it, so you can!

does not install on mini-remix

Hi,

tonight I got the ubuntu-mini-remix installed on a VM and tried both installation methods as outlined in 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 (method 1, method 2 did not function due to ownership problems, I did sudo but I could not get write access to the path, no clue what's going on there).

2.2.1 here is what happens: first this: http://d.pr/i/CMJ4 then this: http://d.pr/i/EaN0

2.2.2 (method 1) errors out with the notice, that no network connection could be established. Which is strange, since I can connect from the VM to the internet. Method 2 fails due to permissions (I am aware, that LINK and RELEASE needs to be replaced on the echo instruction, but that would not change the problem), see both here: http://d.pr/i/pbmJ

Now my problems with 2.2.2 are clearly beyond Customizer's influence (seems the VM is messed up, though it was a clean install) 2.2.1 should be fixable, no?

Thans a lot!

Bug in the qemu shell script?

When I try to run gemu from the gui on Ubuntu 12.04 I get the following error:
[] Executing qemu at: 04:53:10 PM/12-07-2012
[] Checking whether X is running
[] Getting the configs
[] Running QEMU with ISO image: /home/Minimalism-i386-12.04.iso
/opt/Customizer/scripts/qemu: line 41: qemu: command not found
[X] An error accure while trying to emulate the ISO

The problem is that "qemu" is not a valid command. Changing "qemu -cdrom" to "qemu-system-i386 -cdrom" on line 41 in the qemu shell script should solve the problem.

Cannot set default locale to english

the default locale is in Russian but i dont want that. i tried to find locale English but its not listed. help please!

myslq doesn't start after installing in customizer

Using the "Terminal" in Customizer, I installed mysql, but it does not run. I have tried "service mysql start" and nothing happens as well as "netstat -tap | grep mysql" and nothing shows up. I need to get mysql to run inside Customizer in order to finish my ubuntu remix. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get mysql to run in Customizer terminal window?

Thanks,
Jon

Install.sh fails for gambas3 branch on Ubuntu 12.10 32bit

On Ubuntu Desktop 12.10 i386, following the User Guide for installing the gambas3 branch, I do this:

(1) download the install.sh from https://github.com/downloads/fluxer/Customizer/install.sh
(2) issue 'sudo ./install.sh -b gambas3 -i' ## note that the Gide erroneously ommits the -i !)

After fixing the internals to refer to gambas3-* packages, and the 'gambas3-devel' to be 'gambas3-dev', I still get errors during installation:

Really Frustrating. How can one install the gambas3 branch on Ubu 12.10?

Customizer identifies Ubuntu server as invalid disk

I am using v3.2.3 and when I try to mount ubuntu-server 12.04, Customizer claims that it's not a valid ISO image. Is there any clues how I can work this around?

ISSUE-2011-005 (Filesystem is locked)

Filesystem is locked permanently

Environment

Customizer 3.1 and newer releases, regardless of the environment.

Description

When chrooted Terminal is launched then closed using window manager i.e. ‘Close button’, rest of customization options (such as Archive, Install DEB, Desktop, Extras > Install GUI) becomes unusable.

When clicked on one of these options, the Terminal prompt always show the error message below.

...
[x] The filesystem is locked

Workaround

Use either one of methods below on your host system.

Graphical method

Open a File Manager as root
Navigate to /home/FileSystem/tmp directory
Delete lock_chroot and script.sh files

Command-line method

Open a Terminal
Type sudo rm -rf /home/FileSystem/tmp/* and hit Return key

Solution

Always type exit and hit Return key to close the chrooted Terminal.

Since Customizer 3.1.1, a warning message has been added in the chroot Terminal. If the user still attempts to close with window manager, this issue can be reproduced.

ISSUE-2011-002 (Kernel panic while mounting root filesystem)

Kernel panic occurs during boot while trying to mount the root filesystem (filesystem.squashfs)

Environment

Unknown

Description

The squashed filesystem should be compressed using the same or older version than the one that is available in the release of the ISO which you are customizing. For example, if you are customizing Natty you should be running Natty or older release.

Workaround

None

Solution

Download squashfs-tools package in .deb format, for the release that you are customizing.

Install the package via double-click or dpkg -i command, whichever works.

Copy the FileSystem and ISO folders and the build script inside the FileSystem folder and chroot into it.

Modify the build script to match the folders path, install the necessary build tools (genisoimage and squashfs-tools) and issue it to build script to build ISO image.

I do have access to the package 'gambas3' ... etc. Can the installer script be updated to accept gambas3-*

Request

Is it possible to use xephyr to enter different users desktop?

Say, if I would like to set different desktopbackgrounds for different users, and not just for the root user.

archive manager

archive manager is greyed out even though synaptic is installed.

Do we need/want a forum/mailing list ?

As suggested by @clearkimura in ISSUE #43 i have set up a new issue so we can discuss if we need/want a new forum/mailing list

So an overview of what's been said :

@mbnoimi suggested we need a forum or mailing list

@hreikin can set a forum up easily enough

@fluxer and @clearkimura stated they wouldn't have the time to answer each and every question which was raised in the forum/mailing list and asked who would be able to

I would be willing to answer any question i could on a daily basis but a forum is only as good as its community so i would probably need some help as i am no Linux master, just a googler :D

anybody else willing to comment/suggest anything further ?

Unable to re-build ubuntu 12.10 image & the Desktop button disabled in the GUI

I installed customizer using the install.sh script. I am using a host machine with Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit to customize ubuntu 12.10 32-bit ISO image. I am having the following issues with the customizer.

After launching the customizer and selecting the ISO (ubuntu 12.10 32-bit). The extraction happens. But however the Desktop button in the GUI is disabled after the extraction is complete
I am unable to re-build the ISO. I get the error saying "unable to copy initrd.img". The extracted Filesystem folder does not contain the vmlinuz and initrd files in the boot folder.

Please provide me with a workaround.

liveCD user/password issue ubuntu mini remix 12.04

when the iso is made and burned to a disk during installation when using the "Try OS" option in ubiquity you get to the login screen enter username specified when using customizer with no password and select session then hit enter. it returns incorrect password error ?

the username was set to "liveuser" so i dont think it could be this issue affecting it :

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PfhHnSBjv-IDI7Yh5obhMGYCAV9Gw1NPEynU4GqKTsA/edit#bookmark=id.4kp1lixr2n23

ive tried different usernames such as the hostname i set and the name i chose for my liveCD (just on the off-chance) but none work, this has happened on a few liveCDs ive made but not all and as far as i can tell i havent done anything different (apart from choosing different names but never any with anything other than letters in) i can still install from ubiquity i just cant try the live system beforehand as i cant log in

my desktop is running a fresh install of 32 bit ubuntu 12.04 from here : http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
im using the 32 bit ubuntu 12.04 mini remix in customizer from here : http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/
customizer version : 3.2.3

i installed customizer with this method :

wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54183088/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh -i

any help would be appreciated

EDIT : im not sure if customizer is mixing up the live username and the hostname or OS name as i made another liveCD last night with all 3 set to the same name ("our" in this case for my openbox ubuntu remix) and the liveCD username worked, ill try make another later today and see if i can figure out if it is mixing the names up.

Network problem

Release 3.2.3,after lubuntu 12.10 rebuild there is a partial working network connection,i can ping the router but can't go out,it seems a dns problem.

/etc/lsb-release issue when changing username/hostname in Ubuntu

Hi,

I've verified it on edubuntu precise and quantal, never noticed on 10.04, anyway. It happens that if I modify hostname and username (via shell and /etc/casper.conf), then in brand new live dvd /etc/lsb-release becomes (that's quantal's case; for precise is the same, mutatis mutandis):

DISTRIB_ID="Ubuntu"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="12.10"
DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.10"

with double-quotes in 1st and 2 nd line.
That causes a crash in Software Center ("no such distribution: ubuntu" or something similar after python errors): if I modify /etc/lsb-release purging from it double quotes, then SC works without problems.

I've noticed it for the first time on precise, due to apport's notice (one of our users told me about that for the first time); apport is bullsh*** and normally I purge it before creating the ISO and SC is pretty useless, but questioning about that with a guy in Ubuntu-it forum, he checked his /etc/lsb-release and we noticed he hadn't double quotes (he didn't change username and/or hostname, anyway).

Don't know exactly if is a Customizer issue but with UCK (less powerful than Customizer) it doesn't happen.

Thanx,
Silvia

QEMU resolution

Hi,
I don't know if it's a real issue or just my fault ;-) but if I try to run the customized filesystem from QEMU, using a Ubuntu 12.04 custom fs, it emulates it in a 1024x768 screen while if I'm using a 13.04 or 13.10, it emulates it in a much larger screen, not accessible in any of its parts.
I took a look to qemu in /opt/Customizer/script, but screen resolution wasn't there.

Thanks,
Silvia

Customize distro desktop for custom locale

Can I run Desktop Environment via Customizer with other then "en_US.UTF-8" locale?

I have problem:

I change some Firefox settings (install add-on) via Desktop Environment in Customizer and than create disk image.
Install Custom Ubuntu (use disk image file) and choose "ru_RU.UTF-8" locale.
After installation i have localized Desktop Environment (GNOME), but Firefox browser is not localized (for example, MenuBar hava File, Open, etc... instead of Файл, Открыть)

chroot "chmod +x /tmp/HOOK
bin/sh /tmp/HOOK"

umount_sys
recursive_umount
block_local_X_access

and there is no need for basename
