Comment 13 for bug 1860345

I just installed Ubuntu Mate 19.10 x64 into a VirtualBox virtual machine w/25 GB disk space. I then installed Cubic, and created a new project to customize "ubuntu-mate-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso".

I did confirm that the vmlinuz and initrd files in /boot are broken symlinks (per issue #2).

However in my test, with regard to issue #1, Cubic had no problem finding the original vmlinuz and initrd files located at

    <CUBIC PROJECT>/original-iso-mount/casper

(Make sure that the original ISO remains mounted while you are running Cubic. Don't manually unmount it; Cubic will unmount it when it done using the original ISO).

Cubic was able to determine the correct version of the initrd file...

  Create initrd details list
    • Search directory..................... /home/user01/Temp/Ubuntu_19.10/squas
                                            hfs-root/boot
    • Number of initrd files found......... 0
  Create initrd details list
    • Search directory..................... /home/user01/Temp/Ubuntu_19.10/origi
                                            nal-iso-mount/casper
    • Number of initrd files found......... 1
    Get initrd version name from file
    name................................... /home/user01/Temp/Ubuntu_19.10/origi
                                            nal-iso-mount/casper/initrd
    Get initrd version name from file
    contents............................... /home/user01/Temp/Ubuntu_19.10/origi
                                            nal-iso-mount/casper/initrd
    • The version name is.................. 5.3.0-18
    • The initrd version is................ 5.3.0-18
