Got the same error!

running Kubuntu KK 9.10 with UCK 2.0.12

I tried with Kubuntu KK 9.10 iso 32 and 64 bit but both give me same error.

Any news?

Thanks!

[Fabrizio Balliano (fabrizio-balliano)]

are you using ubuntu livecd to generate the new iso?
which ubuntu version is the host system?
which ubuntu version is the ISO you're movifying?

[Lane DeNicola (denicola)]

*bump*

Precisely the same error indication as described by OP using Kubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) as both host and to generate the iso (from a LiveCD), and using UCK 2.0.12.

Further, when UCK fails the build and I cancel it, the tmp directory is left in my home directory and remains mounted (filling up the wastebasket quite quickly and requiring a manual umount and /bin/rm -fr to get rid of it).

Just installed Kubuntu Karmic in a virtual machine to test - with the following results:

- Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) seems to not have a package manager that is usable by UCK installed by default - neither adept, nor adept-manager, nor synaptic are found. This confirms your error report.

- If you want to run interactive packaging to customize Kubuntu Karmic you will need to install a usable package manager *IN THE SYSTEM BEING CUSTOMIZED*. The way to do this is to select "Run console application" when you get to the dialog prompting you to choose a customization action. Within the console opened run "apt-get install synaptic". (Having synaptic or another package manager in the *hosting* system does not work - it will not be found there, because at this point the customization happens in a chrooted environment, relying etirely on the commands available in the system being customized.)

- I've not been able to find "adept" or "adept_manager" (which used to be the KDE package managers of choice before KDE4 came along). If you happen to know how to run the KDE4 packaging GUI from the commad line a hint would be helpful.

On the (unrelated) issue of tmp not being cleaned up properly: This error has been fixed in SVN and the fix will be contained in the next release of UCK.

Same command line
 apt-get synaptic
Now try again.

[Joel F (roadapathy)]

I get the same exact error. I tried option 1 and 2. Nothing works.

I run Ubuntu 64bit 10.04.1. I'm trying to customize the 10.04.1 Ubuntu Mini Remix

Why would this not work? What will I need to do? I'm NOT running the host live Ubuntu. I'm running the Ubuntu from my system to make the new ISO. Suggestions?

[Wolf Geldmacher (wolf-womaro)]

You cannot run a GUI package manager because Ubuntu Mini-Remix only has apt (command line).

You cannot run a terminal from uck-gui because the Mini-Remix does not have X11.

When customizing the Mini-Remix your only choices are
(a) run the command line interfaces of UCK, or
(b) try your luck with uck-flow from the unstable PPA.
