Re: Debian ISO

 

Hi Nio,
I know, I have changed the OBI a lot because I didn't understand it, so I have 'translated' it into the type of bash script I understand, using bash built-ins and using [[ instead of test or [ using (( num > othernum )) instead of test num -gt othernum

This means I have had to learn what OBI is and does.
I have also modularized the code more (all the mkp* scripts call a common mkp) and have tried very hard to understand the complexity you created.

Long story short, some of my translation doesn't always work correctly because I misunderstand what you are doing sometimes. The 'use no extra parameters' bug is a great example of that. Why do I even need that code in there? So I have now removed the offending code completely because it actually does nothing, since the parameter never gets passed to anything if it exists. So a parameter will automatically get removed, and not effect anything. We don't need to notify the user about it, so I am removing it entirely.

Anyhow.... with that code gone *revision 228* should completely fix this issue. I will test it as well. I have been testing the basic installer mostly, so I will test advanced on this one only, since I modified only the advanced code.

Let me know if it works for USB drives, as well.

Hi Israel,

Unfortunately I don't understand the structure of the OBI-installer. It has changed so much from my version, and I have not had the time to keep my knowledge of it up to date.

Anyway, I zsynced and updated/dist-upgraded to get version 225.

It seemed to work better now. It does not print

:( Use no extra parameters :(

But it returns to the starter menu. I cannot reach gparted as part of the sequence 'Partition drives and install alongside current OS'. Of course gparted is available via the desktop, but it is frustrating, when things that used to work stop working.

But 'Install' does not not work at the advanced level.

It works at the basic level :-)

The progress windows are separated (do not overlap), which is good :-)

-o-

I tried again - a 'clean' sequence: I cannot reach gparted as part of the sequence 'Partition drives and install alongside current OS'. It returns to the starter menu. In the Toshiba with external target drive.

I attach the log file for this 'brief case'.

Best regards
Nio
