I am using UCK to customize xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso and it works great, except the remastered ISO is not UEFI-bootable. How can I add UEFI boot support to the remastered ISO? Thanks and best regards, Ed |

Fixed this error by deleting one of the two uids concerning to this key Next try: Remastering the lubuntu-alternate - perhaps it is a server-iso-problem... Same procdure, same error The error depends on the ubuntu-keyring-package. Looking in the generated deb, i found my mailadresse in the ubuntu-archive- keyring-file - so i think it was added correctly Building an iso i get the same error Building the iso when deleting deb and udeb in pool/main/u/ubuntu-keyring/ the error doesn't come - of course later the error, that the keyring-package is not installed. I think there is something wrong with the package or some or one signed files - even i doesn't have the knowledge to solve this problem. Do you have some further informations to bring my nearer to a solution? regards Andy |

Hello I am using uck in version 2.4.6 with Ubuntu Raring Trying to customize the 13.04-Server-Iso with sudo uck-remaster-finalize-alternate <my_key_id> i get one error depending the ubuntu-keyring-package which is not customized, so my key is not included. So i loaded the source, added my key to the keyring-file an build new ubuntu- keyring.deb and *.udeb copying to pool/main/u/ubuntu-keyring afterwards. Then the script sudo uck-remaster-finalize-alternate <my_key_id> worked without any error Building an Iso and tested in a VM i got the error drom-detect: Detected CD with 'Ubuntu Server-CD "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130423.1)' drom-detect: Detected CD with '' () distribution cdrom-detect: Error reading Release file; unable to determine the distribution Do you have any idea how to fix this, or how to get further informations. I found, that in postinst of cdrom.detect there is a function which does check the Releasefile, which workes properly (in first line the release is found), but i don't know, where the second line comes from. Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot regards Andy |

I will try this soon, thanks for the tip! I've done a simple change to the gfxboot code at libraries/customization-profiles/localized_cd/customize_iso It's attached as a preliminary patch. Please tell me if there's anything I should change (I can't find any patch submission rules... Should I paste the patch inline or are attachments prefered?) Cheers, Goncalo |

Hello everyone, I'm a developer @ caixamagica.pt (Caixa Magica is a Portuguese Ubuntu derivative) For the next two months, I'll be working on a project with objectives quite like UCK. We decided we'll base our work on UCK, since it has struck us as really neat piece of code (great job, btw :). You can find more info (in english) on the project at http://contribsoft.caixamagica.pt/trac/wiki/cmce As it is, UCK doesn't play well with Caixa Magica, so I'll be forking UCK and change some things around. However, I believe it to be in our common interest to make UCK support Ubuntu derivatives easily. First thing that comes to mind is the hardcoded gfxboot URL for wget at libraries/customization-profiles/localized_cd/customize_iso : 82 We'll probably move that to a constant, and maybe add some external configuration for it Also, we'll probably be adding some new features, like a web interface and allowing the user to change the root image using X (if we find it possible and not totally a Bad Idea (tm) ). Given this, I'd like to ask the team if you'd be interested in applying the kind of patches I mentioned, upstream. Thank you for your time |

hello everybody, when using uck to remaster a kde4 (lucid) ISO and trying to launch a package manager you get an error, and that's ok because lucid uses kpackagekit instead of adept, anyway starting kpackagekit results in some errors and it's not usable. is there a trick to make it work? should we start other deamons to allow chrooted graphic processes to work? actually I think that we should avoid poisoning the host system with deamons to make gui software run inside the host, it could lead to damages to the host system. waiting for your opinion. bye! -- Fabrizio Balliano CREALABS SNC Via G.

The best source currently is SVN (look at the README there), the man pages and - this being open software - the source. If you found UCK on SF directly: there is some more information on https://launchpad.net/uck. We have a somewhat special setup that the source is maintained in SF, but the project's home is Launchpad. > 2.

If you read the README from SVN, you will see, that this is not how UCK works: UCK uses the hosting system (i.e. the system UCK runs on) for network access - so accessing the network is "free" for the system being customized during customization. For running the system customized: Feel free to put whatever you think is necessary into the customized system. Be warned, though, that because you are customizing a system essentially designed to interactively run from a compressed read-only file system (which then can possibly be installed onto some read/write device) changes you make to the live system might not be reflected as you intended on the system, especially when installed. I would recommend that you read up on the ubuntu/debian install mechanism (ubiquity and preseeding) to better understand how this happens. > 3. Can I mount the .iso with VMPlayer (or other) and "watch" as I > install packages? Nope. The way UCK works (essentially taken from the README in SVN) roughly is: source-iso => unpack-iso -> unpack-root -> customize -> pack-root -> pack-iso => customized-iso. So there is no ISO to watch. You can observe changes done in the customization step by watching ~/tmp/customize-root change or by looking at the logfile generated or by running some commands interactively from the terminal offered during customization. > Any help is appreciated.

Greetings! I've run through the UCK tool and it's a nice piece of software. I have a few questions for the experts on this list. 1. What is the best source of documentation available? (didn't see much on SF or in SVN) 2. Can I configure the .iso's synaptic package manager to read/install from online sources? (is it possible to configure its /etc/network/interfaces ?) 3. Can I mount the .iso with VMPlayer (or other) and "watch" as I install packages? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

Hi all, I've been actively working with UCK now for a little over one month and I appreciate all the work that has gone into creating the toolset - thanks to all of you! I encountered two issues, though, that IMHO make UCK a little harder to handle than it should be: - Configuration information is split up in files in customizaion-scripts and there is very little documentation as to what the many flag files do. Also they are frequently used to pass parameters from one customization step to the next - kind of an "undercover" argument passing. - With the existing GUI it is impossible to automate the sequencing of actions - it's either all or nothing. Although the command line interface allows the restart of single steps, running a fully automated customization or restarting customization at some point requires additional efforts. After a little off-line discussion with Fabrizio, I've written a python-gtk frontend to UCK that addresses these two issues: It allows collection of parameters in a single project file and allows processing to be restarted at any point in the customization sequence. I'd very much appreciate your thoughts/feedback on this work, which you can currently download from my home page at: http://www.womaro.ch/UckFlow-0.1.tar.gz md5sum: dc39811a1e6671ce3c1ecb529f48b18f The archive contains the complete source code and a python setup.py script to install uckFlow version 0.1, a working (albeit not fully complete) prototype. Looking forward to your comments & regards, Wolf |

Hello everybody, I think we're ready for a new release, a lot of work has been done. I used the new SVN version to generate our Ubuntu Italian Remix and it solves a lot of problems working smoothly. Alessio, I also updated the debian dir with a new dependency and this dir has to be used to generate the deb package (I can generate it for you in a moment).
