Now, i have built my ISO, i chroot into it using code which is part of PakOSHub.sh, part of PakOS, you can find it in sbin folder of PakOS, it is a great jumble of code, very poorly documented.
Once i am in chroot, in PakOS built ISO, i run these commands:
apt-get install --no-install-recommends lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings xinput redshift redshift-gtk geoclue-2.0 xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod fonts-nafees fbreader gnome-games ufw gufw gnome-software clamav clamav-daemon clamtk usbguard usbguard-applet-qt firejail firetools plymouth plymouth-themes gnome-maps zenity yad gnome-multi-writer netselect-apt network-manager nm-tray efibootmgr grub-efi-amd64-bin grub2-common grub-efi-amd64-signed efibootmgr grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub2-common grub-customizer network-manager-gnome
then i install the 64 bit stuff there:
dpkg --add-architecture amd64
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends arch-test apt-utils linux-image-amd64 dkms build-essential linux-headers-amd64 apparmor:amd64 linux-doc-4.19:amd64 debian-kernel-handbook:amd64 apparmor-profiles-extra:amd64 apparmor-utils:amd64 glibc-doc:amd64 locales:amd64 grub-pc:amd64 grub-efi-amd64:amd64 extlinux:amd64
As you can see, the process is not fully automated: If you can achieve full automation, i will be grateful.
I will try to upload whole build folder (Pretty large) soon:, till then, hope this helps.
I am availiable for any help.
Sir, seeing your results, I will try to upload my method on sourceforge.net soon, but full build folders are large. And my upload speed is just 100k.I will try to so in a next few days.On Tue, Apr 21, 2020, 5:07 AM Michael . <keltoiboy@gmail.com> wrote:Sometimes I'm an idiot and I forget to "reply to all". Thank you to
dbgr for pointing out my error to me. So please find below what I have
tried and what the outcomes were.
I just tried Subhani's tip and it failed with
E: Error reading the CPU table
P: Begin unmounting filesystems...
P: Saving caches...
E: Error reading the CPU table
I suspected, as I have said in previous threads, that we will need to
build 2 different systems and then merge them into 1 iso with menu
providing the options of which system to load. I'd like a copy of the
complete configuration for PakOS to see if it works on my system
before I suggest there are other things that need doing.
And then
In the previous build I followed Subhani's suggestion and then checked
the chroot file in the config folder. I had to manually edit it after
the lb config command and then run lb build to which I got the failure
mentioned in my previous reply.
I have just done an lb clean --all and removed my cache folder to
force a completely new build. lb config and then lb build to get it
running. Checked the chroot file in the config folder and only 686-pae
is listed in the chroot file. lb config is only passing one option to
the chroot file not both 32 and64 bit options. First test failed with
the result as mentioned in my previous reply, 2nd test failed with lb
config only passing 1 linux-flavor option rather than the 2 as
suggested by Subhani.
Anyone else trying this and finding anything different to my findings?
Regards.
