Does anyone here have experience with using the Debian Live Builder from HERE? Every time I attempt a build, it fails. I thought it strange that it didn't let me select 'amd64' under 'LB_ARCHITECTURE', 'testing' under 'LB_DISTRIBUTION', or multiple options under 'LB_LINUX_FLAVOURS'. Does anyone see what I might have done wrong?

Our network uses static ip's and I cannot get them to work with Debian live. In fact, when I reboot, it always goes back to "roaming". What am I doing wrong here?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn a new Lenovo Thinkpad T450s, I encounter the following issue: The USB drive containing live CD image ("burned" to the USB using mkusb tool --> which in turn uses dd) cannot be booted from the UEFI boot loader. I have to reconfigure the hardware (BIOS) setup to support both UEFI & legacy system, and with first boot priority given to legacy (BIOS-style) booting. But if I do this, I don't see the UEFI system in the /sys/firmware/uefi directory. I am using the 64-bit live CD image (debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso).
This is my goal: to boot the live USB from UEFI, so that I can install it in a form that is UEFI-bootable.
I'd like to create my own custom Debian live CD — the idea being to have my own rescue CD with my favorite Debian tools installed. I read about bootcd and was going to give that a try, after creating the ideal system in a qemu virtual machine.
How much exactly can you install on a system so that bootcd can still fit it on a CD? I'm presuming there is some kind of compression involved. When I tried to create my VM, I coudln't get Jessie + LXDE to install onto a 2GB virtual drive (net install) so naturally I'm wondering what I'm going to be able to put on a 700MB CD.
I'm trying to boot Live Debian (on a usb stick) on a Dell XPS ('Developers Edition' aka 9343). From what I've read about the status of on this hardware [URL] and about Debian Live (https://www.debian.org/CD/live/) it sounds like this may be possible, but I haven't figured it out. I don't know how to deal with the bios &| uefi settings.
I created the boot stick with dd if=debian-live-8.3.0-amd64-mate-desktop+nonfree.iso of=/dev/sdd1 bs=4M; sync
I have been trying to build a Debian-live-version for some time using live-helper. It works fine if I choose lenny as distribution. With sid I always get into trouble.Sometimes live-helper does't find any aufs-modules but it stops looking for them if I keep the options as simple as above.What is the problem of live-helper's to build on sid or squeeze (which I have met similar troubles with)?

I have a set of two amd64 machines with Debian Lenny. Machine 2 reads all the users' information from the Machine 1 through LDAP. Also, in Machine 2 I set up a dchroot environment for 32 bits compatibility ( following [URL]
In addition to the above instructions, on this Machine 2, I set up /etc/libnss*, /etc/ldap/*, and /etc/nsswitch.conf both for the amd64 and for the i386 environments. I have no problems if I'm in the native amd64 mode. However, once I enter the i386 dchroot, some strange things happen:
1) For users from uid=1000 to uid=1031, I get an error if running 'whoami' (Cannot find name for user ID XXXX) and if I run 'id' , I get all the correct group numbers but no translation to group names in parenthesis as it should be. 'ls -l' also only lists group numbers but no names.
2) for user 1032 I cannot even change into the dchroot, I get the error "E: Group '1,031' not found"
Just fooling around with a live image, thinking about dumping Ubuntu for a straight Debian install and I can't get wireless running on it. Is this a "known issue?"

I do recall being able to at least figure out Debian enough that I got my wireless working (a few years back). Today I popped in a fresh Live LXDE DVD. I can't find that my wireless is recognized, nor can I find any graphical network management utilities. Nothing network related. Perhaps its all in the command line, but I'm not too familiar with it (though I'm not averse to following instructions if I can use that to simply fix this issue).
I did look at documentation first. To the best of my ability anyway. I could not use it to help myself. Once I get internet working, at least I can trouble shoot on the Debian installation itself, which makes the process much easier. Having to switch out to a Windows installation is a pain.
I want to customise an amnesic Debian environment (like Kali Live CD) with everything (Users, background, icons, etc.) set up to work the way I need. This OS should be inside a memory stick, and, most important, it has to have an encrypted partition I can mount and unmount whenever I want to save persistent data.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have successful upgraded my system from Lenny to Squeeze and have even installed NVIDIA Driver successful, as well as other applications that I need. My system is now running smoothly and okey. My applications are also running smoothly except Skype 2.2 (Debian Forum Guys are currently helping me solve it).
However, I do want to upgrade my file system to ext4 in order to take its advance features and advantages especially that my system is now in WORK HORSE mode. However, I am not confident enough to do it because the guide is limited and does not tackle the issue of a system using ext3 with LVM2 on it.
Therefore, my question is how do I migrate (LIVE) my Ext3 to Ext4 on my system that uses LVM2? A clear and understandable guide is highly appreciated especially that I am newbie on it.
I make a group a member of another group?

I have a group (GROUP) with a number of users. I recently added a new user (NEW). NEW is able to read but not write group files, whereas all the other users in the group can read and write to the group files. The permissions for the group files indicate that all members of group should have write permission -rwxrwxr-x
/etc/group indicates that NEW is a member of GROUP

Don't know if it matters, but both OLD and NEW write to the GROUP files over an internet connection. why NEW can't write to GROUP files? Is there a maximum number of members in a group that I might have exceeded?
What's the centos-approved way to handle group environment configuration? Let's say there are users in, oh, 4 different groups. Let's use the usual suspects:
accounting
warehouse
admin
netadmin
and I want to set up environment variables and maybe some pathing that are specific to a given group. So that when 'joeblow', who is a member of group 'warehouse', logs in, the pathing and environment variables (and whatever else) that is needed for users in the 'warehouse' group is set up and configured.
What I was initially looking for was an /etc/groups.d, and in /etc/groups.d is
/etc/groups.d
accounting.sh
warehouse.sh
admin.sh
netadmin.sh
As part of the login process, the group memberships for the login username would be examined, and for each hit the respective /etc/groups.d/ script would be run. I'm not seeing anything like that, so I'm assuming centos uses some other mechanism, but I'm obviously not using the proper keyword mojo. Can someone point me to where this mechanism is described?
