Hi, I just registered. I want to thank you so much for forking Remastersys -- it's absolutely necessary software for the Ubuntuverse. It has worked beautifully up to 16.04. Now with 16.04 I'm having some sort of issue I don't understand yet, and I'll just have to describe the main symptoms and then if anyone would like more info from me, I'll keep checking in to provide what I can.
I am using an older Lenovo laptop, pretty basic, and nearly fresh installs of 16.04, updated to latest as of today and including just a few basic apps, nothing system-changing except for the Pinguy Builder package and dependencies themselves.
1. The building process seems to go smoothly, but upon installation, it invariably crashes when trying to "Retrieve files" if and only if I am connected to the internet on the live CD. If I do not connect to the internet, installation completes successfully (albeit with the sudo su issue described in the blog or twitter or wherever I read it). This happens whether I check or uncheck the 'Download updates' option; if I'm connected to a network, it seems to want to try and hangs.
2. However, once installed totally offline, the new system lacks Plymouth animations upon boot up (but not shutdown) and the LightDM login wallpaper no longer changes per user, but is stuck on default. I have double checked user wallpapers for permissions status, and they indicate no problems that would prevent their use with LightDM.
Is this part of some kind of pervasive permissions problem with the current close-to-release Ubiquity as usual (at least, I always ran into similar chaos with Remastersys with new Ubuntu releases too), or a PB bug? Just letting you know. I don't think it's anything I did (because I just did a straight GUI dist build with minimal changes to vanilla Xenial) or anything peculiar to my rig (because it's pretty common and does not have these problems with a plain Ubuntu install).
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I hope this is pilot error on my part, and you can straighten me out.![Smile]( "Smile")
