Ubuntu Customization Kit

Doesn't work at all

Asked by Peter Passchier

Package uck can't complete even with the most normal settings, it is just not compatible with 16.04 anymore. Either remove the package, or have someone update it for 16.04.

Ubuntu Customization Kit has not been developed for years, and has the note
"!!!PROJECT DISCONTINUED!!!"
on its Launchpad homepage.

Recent Ubuntu releases differ from previous ones in a manner, that certain steps of UCK now fail.

I can give some advice:
1. deselect all language packages that contain the string -touch- in their name
2. modify /usr/lib/uck/customization-profiles/localized_cd/customize_iso and change in line ~84 (the longest line in the whole file) the part

... $(zgrep gz ...
 into
... $(zgrep xz ...

and three lines later
 change

tar xfz *.tar.gz ||
  into
tar xfJ *.tar.xz ||

You might read recent questions and bugs related to UCK on Launchpad. These recommendations (and some more) have already been given to other persons with similar problems.

Thanks for the pointers. The package should never have been included in Xenial in the current state. These kind of projects can be handy though... But even a more recent effort like LinuxRespin (follow-up from remastersys) is not without issues.

Maybe it is time to say good-bye to uck and to create a bug report "please remove uck from Ubuntu"

Yes, I've actually already done that.

Can you help with this problem?
