OK, this one is odd.
Wrote 2 scripts, based on documentation & other scripts on the
website. The first is a complete automated rebuild (blows away old
stuff, changes apt-sources, runs git, lh config & lh build, adds some
files I want, edits config file with sed, and so on).
The other is just takes that iso, changes the boot command line, and
builds a new one.
Both are working beautifully, except... one of the little scripts I
added to my build (all it does is grab a central /etc/hosts file)
doesn't seem to be running on startup. So I want to "debug" to see
what was up. Turn off "nosudo", right?
Not happening.
If I change change anything else in the boot command line, the new iso
works fine. But if I delete nosudo, X won't start. It goes into loop
of attempting and failing to start, then attempting again. I took out
splash too, and paused the vm (I'musing virtualbox) for an easy peak
at the console between attempts...

The odd thing is if I comment out that one single sed line in my
script so the file isn't edited at all, it builds and runs great.
And if I enable that line and use it to change anything else instead
(like the homepage), it builds and runs great. But if I take out
nosudo... it kills x the exact same way every single time. As soon as
I put nodsudo back, it is fine again.
(It isn't anything complicated... "sed -i 's/ nosudo / /g' /path/to/
live.cfg")
Any ideas?

Because it is way faster than rebuilding the whole thing again.
I don't want to remove nosudo from my "user" iso, so I build it with
it in there. But if I want to peek under the hood, I want to take
that same iso & remove nosudo from it... giving me an "admin/debug"
version of the same image.
Basically following these instructions:
http://webconverger.org/blog/entry/Webconverger_6.1_release_notes
It works great, and I seem to be able to successfully change anything
in the file. But if I touch nosudo, I get problems. (Which yes,
kinda defeats my whole purpose.)
But it's the same image. Doing it the slower way (a complete rebuild
with one tiny change) shouldn't give me a different result.
And if it somehow did (some packages or whatever changing in the
intervening moments?)... that's no good either. The whole point is
to have two perfectly identical iso images, except for the boot line.
One with nosudo for public use, and one without it for me.
But perhaps that would be a good test. Do two complete new rebuilds
in a row, with that one change between them, to see if removing nosudo
still is a problem.
If it goes away, can write the issue off as some kind of fluke. If
not, could use the new trick to change that line in each iso, to see
if the behavior reverses itself. That would confirm that the problem
is with removing nosudo, and not with how it is being done. Right?
(On that note... I have used the same method to put nosudo back in the
iso. At which point the new iso works fine. So I'm already pretty
sure there is no problem with the method.)

Any ideas on this?
I've built the whole thing again from scratch multiple times.
Sometimes as already noted (new build with nosudo, later removing
nosudo from the iso) and sometimes the reverse (new build without
nosudo, then putting nosudo back in the iso).
Same thing, no matter how I do it... if nosudo is in there, it works
fine. If it isn't, I get an infinite loop of starting X, failing,
starting X, failing, etc.
I've done this before with previous versions (don't remember numbers
but could find out), and never had a problem.
I think I'm stumped.

IIRC ~webc/pb.log might show the problem. The loop should be
straightforward to find and debug.
Sorry, really have had not a lot of time spare lately. Will blog about
some future plans we worked out during debconf10.

I think the nosudo-bug should be fixed before changing anything else.

"refcount" error. Adding it back makes the live system X display
appear perfectly. Any ideas on a fix?

I've seen the problem myself when I was trying to move from 'lenny' to
'squeeze' last weekend.
'squeeze' last weekend.
There has been some debian live changes that I have not kept up with
and for example nosudo will be called noroot in the future. I need to
make some changes and debug the scripts on
http://git.webconverger.org/?p=webconverger-base
I am hoping to do this soon.

If you used the new squeeze branch.

I will probably move master to lenny and squeeze to master in the next few days.
I'll probably back port the webconverger-base to lenny when I get a
chance. However I want to focus on "squeeze" now.
Btw daily builds are "squeeze" from today:

Hi Kai,
yesterday was again webc-day.
'noroot' now works great with the squeeze-build.
The only problem was this language stuff:
http://groups.google.com/group/webc-users/browse_thread/thread/7bf6f0e92444f5ac
But this should be discussed in the other thread.
