We need to revise this text

Hi,
the ISO boots but the installation crashes with an error in the Package ubiquity 2.21.63.1 [modified: usr/lib/ubiquity/user-setup/user-setup-apply usr/share/ubiquity/apt-setup]

HookError_source_ubiquity is

Traceback (most revent call last):

file "/usr/lib/python4/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 197, in_run_hook
symb['add_info'](report, ui)
File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py", line 61, in add_info
if 'Buffer I/O error an device' in syslog:
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, no 'str'

Best regards

edit: I used the backup switch to generate the ISO.

Create PPA to host Ubuntu packages

As the title suggests, we'll need a new, updated version for ubuntu 16.04 as the new base.
Anyway, You guys keep doing great, keep up the good work!

You can set your default groups below but be very careful as errors to this can result in the installer not being able to create the new user

DEFAULTGROUPS="audio,cdrom,dialout,floppy,video,plugdev,netdev"

DEFAULTGROUPS="audio,cdrom,dialout,floppy,video,plugdev,netdev"

USB? Other groups?

The iso and md5 files appear in the filesystem where they are (all very well and good) but when I try to boot the iso into a VM it just doesn't boot. Why is this, and is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Systemd question - grub config

Systemd does not adversely effect grub/initrd

See email to group

I made a backup of a build of ubuntu studio in a VM. I copied the output .iso file and tried to boot it into a different virtual machine. I was able to boot into GRUB and first I tried to 'try live system' option and it was hung. Then I restarted the vm and when I got to grub I tried the 'just install the thing' option. Still nothing. After that I tried the 'start in graphic compatibility mode' option and the screen changed: I got a black screen followed by the ubuntu studio loading screen for about 30 minutes and then.... BLACK SCREEN. I don't know what I did wrong, ubuntu doesn't use mdm or anything other than what the ubuntu base offers.

DL;DR it didn't work, can anyone help me out?

Hi! @chamuco and @ch1x0r
I did my tests...

After I had created the custombackup.iso I try to install in VM and real machine. But crashed.

But if I use in live mode I can change the ubiquity.desktop

I changed this part:

Exec=sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui'

To:

Exec=sh -c 'gksu ubiquity gtk_ui'

And this work for me.
I hope this mean something for you. Because my english is awful. =)

Hi guys. I'm messing around with Respin, doing some custom backups of Ubuntu, but for some reason, the final result is ok for Windows or systemless machines, but on Linux machines, my custom backup starts and shows the LightDM or GDM of Linux installed on machine. Example: booting on Elementary OS machine, the bootsplash is Ubuntu, but when LightDM shows, its from Elementary OS, with Elementary OS User Settings, files, and everything!!! I get some errors on boot, but, as I said before, on Windows Machines or no system, my Respin boots properly...

Ubuntu 15.04 + usb-creator-gtk iso created with remastersys she gives the following errors:

    Failed to load COM32 file vesamenu.c32
    boot:

Or

    failed to load libcom32.c32
    failed to load COM32 file libcom32.c32
    boot:

and do not run

To fix this from remastersys in usr/bin/remastersys.bin I've changed:

after

    cp $VESAMENU $WORKDIR/ISOTMP/isolinux/ 

I have added

cp /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/libcom32.c32 $WORKDIR/ISOTMP/isolinux/ 
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/libutil.c32 $WORKDIR/ISOTMP/isolinux/

And perfect boot iso creating remastersys+ubuntu 15.04 + desktop MATE+usb-creator-gtk

I hope that also serve this track for Respin ;-)

Note: I've put the path to the files as they are in Ubuntu 15.04 because I do not know how to write it so that it fits all ubuntus. I leave it to you change it ;-) I will say.

Steps...

We need to document the options... Who can do this... anyone here with any writing skillz?

Thank you for your work, but how launch it in the terminal of ubuntu?
I've tried with respin, linuxrespin, linux-respin respin-ub,... and tells me that he does not know it.
I installed via synaptic from the repository of vivid and dpkg and nothing :-(

I made a fresh install of ubuntu server 16.04.
I installed respin ubuntu 16.04 64 bit deb.
#wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xresprobe/xresprobe_0.4.24ubuntu9_amd64.deb
#dpkg -i xresprobe_*ubuntu9_amd64.deb
#apt-get install -y dialog casper libdebian-installer4 ubiquity-frontend-debconf user-setup discover
#apt-get -fy install
#git clone https://github.com/ch1x0r/LinuxRespin.git
#dpkg -i LinuxRespin/ubuntu/respin_1.1.0-1_all.deb (I installed ubuntu 16.04 64 bit deb instead)
I ran the commands:
#respin dist cdfs
#respin dist iso custom.iso
I tried to install on vitualbox but it is asking for a custom login.
I put in the login info that I had when I first installed ubuntu server and I get login failed.
What am I doing wrong? How do I set the custom login?

I've created a distributable livecd/dvd of my system using the following commands:

1.- respins dist cdfs
2.- respins dist iso custom.iso.

once I boot up using a pxe server I got the error message "Authentication failure" is there any way to remove the authentication and boot directly to the console of the system?

is there a way we scan do a quick scan for attached network shares?
