Hi again Israel,


Live:

Jack is right. 'starter' needs executable permission. And so does
'dltbl'. You keep forgetting about permissions ;-)

When I'm at it: Please remove 'rsyncer' and 'rsync-getter' from the OBI
directory.


Installation:

I selected the PAE system, but it was not installed until I ran

sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

in the installed system. This is a regression.


Installed:

1. Icons

mkusb has the three coloured dots in the menu system, but the correct
icon in pcmanfm. Maybe you have not implemented the improved menu
generator in the installed system?

All entries in the menu and in pcmanfm have icons.

2. add-apt-repository needs the standard Ubuntu lsb-release data

In order to install the bleedin edge mkusb 9.1.6 I run

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable

but it did not work - there was an error output until I reset the content of

/etc/lsb-release

to the standard values for Ubuntu:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS"

It needed at least Ubuntu (with capital U). Probably it needs precise or
12.04, but I did not check it in detail. This is a serious bug (that we
have been waiting for :-P

I fixed it manually and installed mkusb.

3. Trusty kernel an wifi

I also installed the trusty kernel with

sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0.53-generic

which provides drivers for my wifi automatically in my Toshiba with i5

Later on I installed the full hardware enablement stack with

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-trusty
xserver-xorg-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty

Both installations worked.


Best regards
Nio
