Remastering Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

which version you downloaded for remastersys ???

make sure you are using new version..

Refer to http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu.html

Thanks

Ufffff !!! Too many time without seeing remastersys web site. I will try again.

Thank you, Jeet.

Well, sorry for the date. I don't have all time I need. Everytimes I try remastersys ends with next message ...

"The compressed filesystem is larger than genisoimage allows for a single file. You must try to reduce the amount of data you are backing up and try again".

I understand you can't give me support about remastersys. But in my last try I do the next:

- Creating USB partition with size of 4.47 GiB.
- Build Ubuntu USB with casper-rw.
- Copy all USB files to HD and allow boot of this system with Grub4Dos (Live-HD).
- Make a new Ext-4 HD partition with size of 16 GiB.
- Create a home-rw file with size of 12 GiB (using a copy of carper-rw & dd command).
- Copy all contents of /home folder to 16 GiB HD partition, skipping special files.
- Mount home-rw as /home folder.
- Erase all contents of the mounted /home folder.
- Copy all /home folder from 16 GiB HD partition to mounted home-rw filesystem.
- sudo remastersys backup

After this steps, I can't understand why remastersys returns the same error in past times, because all files in system, including the contents of mounted home-rw filesystem, can be fitted into a 4.47 GiB, same size of DVD media.

Anyone can help?

Thank you. ;-)

Yes i can help you, i remastered Buntus many times -> http://tux-a-solta.blogspot.pt/p/tas-2-update.html , your problem Alejandro is very simple yoi have a big lot of data on /home that generate an iso with more than 4gb and remastersys only cna compres 4gb, i suggest to you make all changes of distro design manually this includes plymouth, icons etc, and then copy the content of home to /etc/skel and then generate the ISO. Not install many programs because this generate a big ISO also.

Hello Portaro,

that's not the problem. In recent trying I was got put all files into filesystem. My compressed filesystem haves 1.7 GiBytes in size. Well, now my Ubuntu DVD boots. But I have another problem:

When booting Ubuntu DVD, selecting "Try Ubuntu" ends with a login screen. That screen recognizes username and password, because shows me if I put wrong password. But do not show Ubuntu Desktop, it returns to login screen. How to disable login screen?

Thank you,
Alejandro.

Mmmmmm ... sorry. In last try I was not use RemasterSys. I was use unsquashfs command, and copy the files within casper-rw file into extracted filesystem (without casper-rw special files included within) after.

Ubuntu 12.04.1 Remastered!

the problem in login screen was located at some /home/ubuntu hidden files. Removing them Ubuntu boots fine!

Thanks to all. ;-)

Of course Alejandro your pproblem in past is relationated with a some definiton in ~/home and when you copy that to /etc/skel there generate a misconfig default config that corrupt the environment of user , probably the prooblem is on a defautl window manager.

Try to make this configuration manually after run the ISO with remastersys.
