missing /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin

[David Art]

Hi, ( sorry for my poor english )

First, It's not really a bug .. I have compiled syslinux and mbr.bin missing in /usr/lib/syslinux/

"""
Could not write Master Boot Record to /dev/sdg
(Is syslinux installed?)
"""

I doesn't understand why I have this error while I take a look in code : usbdevice.py , line 173

"""
mbr = file("/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin","r")
"""

May be it's better to say that mbr.bin doesn't exist .. ? copy mbr.bin to /usr/lib/syslinux and works fine ..

Good job .. bye

Syslinux must be installed for liveusb to work. The liveusb package contains a dependency on syslinux, so whenever you instal the liveusb deb, syslinux should automatically be installed as well. It would be interesting to know why this wasn't the case for you.

""" liveusb package contains a dependency on syslinux """ ... Ok , I try it from source code.

But I think , I have same error later .. I made a package of syslinux (compiled) , mbr.bin is in /usr/share/syslinux
So dependency works but liveusb can't find mbr.bin anyway. With syslinux package (from ubuntu) , no problem.

Thanks ..

Sure, you need to use the syslinux from Ubuntu (or its sources). Thanks for clarifying it.
