Ubuntu 19.04: menu-based version of PinguyBuilder (workaround for python-vte depends)

August 12, 2019, 12:27 pm

Hello, everybody,

since I have been using the Pinguy-ISO-Builder for a long time and would like to do so for Ubuntu versions 19.04 and later, I was looking for a simple solution to install and use it also in the future.

At the moment the PinguyBuilder cannot be installed, because it depends on python-vte which was removed in Ubuntu 19.04. WolfLand has posted that the python GUI has to be completely redone for GTK3, which will probably take some time.

As a workaround, I have now put together a menu-based version of the PinguyBuilder. I've removed the python parts (so the corresponding dependencies are not necessary any more).
I did not change the original PinguyBuilder script.

After the installation of the menu-based PinguyBuilder version, in the system's main menu there will be a new submenu called "PinguyBuilder", where the most important functions are accessible.
Of course the PinguyBuilder can also be operated via the command line (as before).

If someone wants to test the menu-based version, feel free to use the deb package in the appendix of this post. You do this at your own risk and I take no responsibility for any damage caused by the installation (disclaimer). Please uninstall all previously installed versions before.

With the menu-based version, the PingyBuilder can at least be installed again. I hope this will also help others who want to continue using PinguyBuilder.

Feedback is welcome and desired.

Kind regards,
kjoe

Hello Builders
I intend to remaster Debian-10. I like to keep apt intact and not delete anything. Could you please tell us what lines in /usr/bin/PinguyBuilder
to comment in the script to avoid any apt deletes. Or even create a new file that does not touch apt at all. Also any Ubuntu related lines are not relevant for this job.

Hello!
I have an ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS 64 server. I'm trying to make a distribution using Pinguy Builder 4.3-8.
I excepted folder /var/bigbluebutton that contains 40GB of data. I used the "PinguyBuilder dist cdfs" command. When the script exits, the folder is included in the image, resulting in the error "The compressed filesystem is larger than genisoimage allows for a single file. You must try to reduce the amount of data you are backing up and try again."
How can I exclude a folder from processing?
Here is the log in the attachment.

Hi all,

I am new to Pinguy and I wondered if there is a way to make it run on my Macbook which has 8 GB Ram and a 250 GB SSD.
THe USB installer starts its work, the splash screen shows up - somewhere along the line changes to black with the cursor on the lower right - then the cursor disappears - and shows a prompt sign on the upper left - and seems to go into a loop.

Any idea how this can be fixed?

Thanks

I'm trying to clone a system (Xubuntu 18.04) that I've installed several server services on, preconfigured, so that if the machine fails I can pretty much leap right back into action with another machine.

This isn't working.

The live version when booted doesn't even have Apache or SQL INSTALLED! SSH seems to be installed but it's not running and can't be connected to, and it's NOT a working clone of the system. Am I doing something wrong, or should I try to shoehorn an old copy of Remastersys on this thing and try again?

Thanks!
P.S. I HAVE checked the option to back up user settings.

Pinguy 18.04 cannot be installed on my laptop

Dears,

I hope you can help me cause I'm not a geek in Linux !


So I have a single question and I'm curious who can help me to find the solution !

History begin here : …

After some tests in Mint 19.2, I deleted Linux partition and reinstalled 19.3 Tricia without any problems and in Dual boot with Windows 10.

I tried to test different settings and per example, "PlayOnLinux ".
But this program (like the Wine project) is absolutely not working on Mint.

So I removed 19.3 cause several issues after "install / uninstall" the "PlayOnLinux / Wine" packages on the 19.3.

I checked a littlle bit with Ubuntu but same sh....
Yes ... Same issue with Ubuntu and interface of Ubuntu is not nice !

So I was looking for another distribution (a complete one / a full one) and I finally found "Pinguy".

But problem, is that I can only start this version in Live and nothing else !
In fact, when installation is complete, it's always the same disaster !
Yes ... a real disaster ! And what is this disaster ! ? GRUB !
For Pinguy installation, it's impossible to install it on my laptop ! !
Always the same bug after the installation of Pinguy 18.04 (Mini or Full)
Grub … grub … grub !!!!!!! grr

Impossible to start Pinguy if alone or Pinguy in Dual boot (if installed with Windows)

I removed the Windows 10 and I formatted the disk then, I tried again to install PG 18.04 without any other OS and still NOK ..pfff

- Laptop is a DELL 6430 ATG
- Bios compatible EFI
- Fast boot and secure boot off !

So what is the problem ???

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Friendly yours,

Mike

Ubiquity-gtk missing with 5.2.x.all.deb (LM19.3) [SOLVED]

January 13, 2020, 4:30 pm

Problem that i could reproduce during remastering with Linux Mint 19.3 (Tricia) MATE 64bit:

First i used the last pinguybuilder_5.2-1_all.deb and all iso-images works well, but the ubiquity-gtk (that i installed before) was missing in the livesystem on desktop and in system.

I got the sed error-log in pinguybuilder while it tries to install ubiquity-gtk that the ubiquity-gtk.desktop is missing in usr/share/applications

So i tried it 3 times but always i am missing the installer on the remastered system!

At the end i was purging pinguybuilder 5.2.1 with:

Code: [Select All]
sudo apt purge pinguybuilder


and installed version 5.1.8 instead.

So what can i tell you: It works and the livesystem shows the ubiquity installer button now. No error-messages in pinguybuilder because of ubiquity-gtk.

Seems that pinguybuilder 5.2.1 is NOT recommend for Linux Mint 19.x users.
pinguybuilder 5.1-8 works fine!

Emergency! Home folders & files deleted by Pinguy Builder

February 14, 2020, 7:13 am

This is bad, very bad! I'm on Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon x64.

Today I tried to create a system backup using Pinguy Builder which was already installed on the system but never used before. I set the working folder to a partition with 10+GB free, then I chose the user to be set as default. Then all hell broke loose: after choosing the only existing user the application automatically started "copying files" although it wasn't instructed what kind of backup to do. And in doing that it consumed all the scarce (~650MB) free space on the system partition, without any way to interrupt the process (both OK and Cancel buttons were greyed out), so I closed the dialog clicking on [x], attempted to clear its cache/temp which yielded 'non-existent directory', and in the end I did the most stupid thing possible: rebooted.
At that point the GRUB image was missing, the login screen - which was always disabled - popped up and I couldn't even log in any more.
Ultimately I found a Mint 19.2 DVD around, booted a live session and noticed a bunch of standard folders were missing in the home folder: Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos - and who knows what other folders and/or files.

Problem is, searching for a file name known to have resided in one of the missing folders yielded no result even in root mode, so I assume this application created some kind of image file already, but I don't know what type of image or where. There was mention of cdfs and iso but the temporary files may well be of a completely different kind. I don't know what to search for and I couldn't find any large files in my limited searches.

Aside from the fact that this application should have NEVER EVER deleted or moved ANY files/folders, is anybody here familiar with its modus operandi, does anyone know where I could find the missing files/folders in order to restore the system? I've worked too much on its customization and forgot everything I've done. Reinstall is out of the question, as well as a backup restore.

Thank you in advance.

Sup everyone. I chose PinguyOS as my first linux distro.

I tried to install it in my old laptop and everything seemed fine.

Buy when I restarted it, GNU GRUB screen showed up. Digged up some online help and red somthing like:
Do:
set pager=1
ls
ls (hd0,1)/

Doing that I should be able to find the root folder or whatever, but when I do those commands the console reads: startup.nsh efi/

I`m sorry if this is a repeated question but I had trouble finding a solution.

Help is most appreciated, ty.

Oh, the laptop btw is an Asus X453MA with Pentium Bay Trail-M Quad-Core N3540

Ubuntu 19.04: Removal of python-vte causes remastersys based tools to fail to install

April 3, 2019, 8:44 am
$
0

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but in Ubuntu 19.04 removal of python-vte will cause remastersys and clones to fail to install/work.

This is an effort to get people to convert their GTK2 apps to GTK3.

What does this mean:

1. The GUI has to be completely redone for GTK3.
I have taken a first pass at this using glade but GTK3 is
much more restrictive than GTK2 and I don't like the result
so I will make a second attempt when I have time.

2. Instead of using gtk2 and python-vte, we have to rewrite the python code
to use GObject Introspection and gtk3 using the gir1.2-vte-2.91 package provided
by the vte2.91 source package(and GTK builder to import the glade files/files).

3. Need to think about porting python code from 2.7 to 3.0+ after the above
is done and working.

In the mean time I have created a hack to allow me to get a working
version as a baseline for 19.04 (e.g. I wanted a working baseline to work from).
I took the latest python-vte deb from 18.10 and unpacked it and changed the dependencies
so it would install on 19.04(yeah I know hack.. hack.. hack) but at
least this got me a working version for 19.04 and hopefully some
time to deal with the redesign.

Also I could not get the resultant ISO to boot. I believe the fix is to remove the
"no-duplicates" entry from the mksquashfs command line in the main script
(it's was already removed from the mksquashfs command line in the config file)
unless an update came in unnoticed and I missed it.

I thinking of combining the "actions" and "settings" pages into one page on V2
of my GUI redesign and using tooltips instead of labels for the action buttons
description and am wondering if there is any reason for not doing this
(hell if I am having to redesign the GUI I might as well improve it while I am working on it).

I am also having to learn python on the fly so it could take me a while
(I HATE interpreted languages) but am using pylint and other tools which
help when not having a compiler.

Hopefully I can get this all done and tested before 20.04 and I will try and get
it on git or sourceforge (probably sourceforge) so that it will be available to
all(unless I croak or have a stroke or something).

Of course it will be open source and free to use, modify and mangle etc.

Just wanted to give you an advance heads up of what's in store for the 19.04+
Ubuntu respins.

Let me know if you have any feedback, improvements etc you would
like to see and I will try and include them if I can.

And as always thanks for all of your hard work on PinguyBuilder and help that you have provided in the past.

Hello

My original system (Xubuntu 18.04 fork) is about 1.8 Go, I just added 150Mo of files in /etc/skel and after building, the created iso is about 2.7 Go .... wahow !... Confused

Of course I excluded /swapfile in etc/PinguyBuilder.conf.
The filesystem.squashfs created with PinguyBuilder-menu-based-5.2.1_all.deb is about 2.4Go ... seems something is not good ...


Thank you for any information that may explain more why the iso file is so big and how to decrease it.

Wish you a great day Smile
