multibootusb / Bugs / #20 Multiboot does not run on Ubuntu 14.10

sundar_ima - 2015-02-03

What happens when you run without sudo? Did your USB drive has name/ label?

  When I run without sudo it would ask for root password and then do the same.
  
  The USB is mounted here: /media/myusername/B2EC-BB81/ (I don't know what
  you mean by "name/ label")
  
  I don't have Ubuntu 14.10 installed anymore, but now have Ubuntu 14.04. It
  runs now, but I have further problems.
  
  When I click "Refresh" I get the following issues (but it still works):
  Traceback (most recent call last):

  The name org.freedesktop.UDisks was not provided by any .service files
  RRIP: rrip_offset 0
  
  When I click "Create" I get the following issue (and it fails to create the
  bootable USB):
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/multibootusb", line 302, in onCreateClick
  self.create_mbusb()

By looking at the mount point, it seems like the problem of usb label as it is mounted with uuid. I am already working on for this issue and will release a new version soon. Meanwhile, you can provide some name to usb disk (using gparted tool) and try again. You feedback is appreciated.

  Thanks naming the partition worked. Have to say, once I got this working,
  it was the simplest to use USB boot loader available for Linux.
  
  Cheers,
  Simon

Hi,

I am still having issues with getting the program to start in 14.10. The memory stick in question has a label and isn't mounted by it's UUID either.

When running from a terminal, I get the following output:

Using PyUdev for detecting USB drives...

I've tried both version 7.4.X and 7.3.X without success so far.

I think I found the problem. In my home folder, I only have .multibootusb/syslinux/bin and not .multibootusb/tools/syslinux/bin. So by altering lines 194 and 197 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scripts/gen_fun.py I was able to get it working.

The syslinux zip-files in /usr/multibootusb/* doesn't seem to have this "tools" folder either.

-194: for path, subdirs, files in os.walk(resource_path(os.path.join(home, "tools", "syslinux", "bin"))): +194: for path, subdirs, files in os.walk(resource_path(os.path.join(home, "syslinux", "bin"))): -197: os.system('chmod ' + '+x ' + resource_path(os.path.join(home, "tools", "syslinux", "bin", name))) +197: os.system('chmod ' + '+x ' + resource_path(os.path.join(home, "syslinux", "bin", name)))

Sorry for the delay. I could not reproduce this bug. I have released the latest version 7.5.0 and tested in live environment (Ubuntu 14.10). I found no bug as mentioned by you when testing under live environment. Therefore, this bug will remain closed.
