lh build mini failure...
Gerard
I am trying to lh build webconverger mini and am getting the following
error.....
xpdf-common xpdf-reader xpdf-utils xpdf xresprobe
Authentication warning overridden.
Err http://debian.webconverger.com lenny/ nostromo 1.8.7-6

Failed to fetch http://debian.webconverger.com/lenny/nostromo_1.8.7-6_i386.deb
404 Not Found
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with

I can see that this version have been replaced in the repository, and
that a new version is available, but how do I tell it how to use this
newer version?
Unless I am missing th real problem altogether ?
Thanks

I am on a clean Ubuntu install (via Virtual Box). I used apt-get to
get live-helper and git-core. I checked this out in the past few hours
and attempted a build, getting this error.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Live helper has been evolving and maxi isn't as well as maintained as
the 'hetty' branch.
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-live/config-webc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/hetty
I'll work today on it today and hopefully get the maxi build scripts
working again.
Thanks,

I updated my checkout of maxi, but still get an error when I try to
build it. It's a different error, though.
The build terminates with the following message:
After this operation, 66.5MB of additional disk space will be used.
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
live-initramfs
E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes
From what I've found on Google, I think this is caused by some errors
involving gpg signatures earlier in the build process:
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://restricted.debian.net ./ Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 22CAE404507CCE4B
W: GPG error: http://live.debian.net ./ Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 22CAE404507CCE4B
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
I also tried to pull a copy of the hetty branch, to see if I could get
that working, but had the same problems I originally had with building
maxi. I'm new to git, so I wonder if maybe I did something wrong and
wound up with just another copy of maxi - if I wanted a fresh checkout
of hetty, what should I do?
Thank you very much for any light you can shed on this, and for the
time and effort you've put into Webconverger. It's an awesome little
distro, and I'd really like to get it building on my system.

Just quickly fixed this.
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-live/config-webc.git
I will do a release tomorrow evening, so tomorrow it might work a bit better.
Good luck, :)

I'm still having trouble building maxi - it's obvious that you've
really restructured things with this release, so I wanted to ask what
the recommended way to build is now?
I tried 'make build', from inside the webconverger directory, for
maxi, but I then got the error I had gotten early on in my attempts to
build:
/usr/bin/env: aptitude: No such file or directory
lot of processing gave the same error. I then hacked up config/chroot
(apparently generated by make source) to use apt instead of aptitude,
which allowed 'make build' to get further, but it finally resulted in
this error:
E: Couldn't find package firmware-bnx2
So, I thought I would ask how I'm supposed to be building this, before
I proceed any further, and also ask if you have any idea why it
couldn't find firmware-bnx2.
Thanks!

I think this might be solved by --apt apt I just put in.

Don't worry about it. Double check your mirror. It should not stop the
build process.
I updated http://webconverger.org/develop/
Can you make sure your environment is sane?

There's one in config-webc/webconverger. I just checked out a fresh
copy to make sure I hadn't polluted it somehow, and it's definitely
there.
It has a few rules related to lh_build, lh_config, etc, and it wasn't
there before the updates, so I thought maybe it was part of the
revamped build process.

lh_config doesn't recognize the option --mirror-chroot.
I removed that from the sanity check, and tried again, which resulted
in my previous error:
E: Couldn't find package firmware-bnx2
I'm guessing this means my version of lh_build won't build
webconverger? I installed it via Kubuntu's default repository
settings. lh --version gives
lh, version 1.0~a37
What version do you use?
Thanks again for all of your help, and I'm sorry to keep pestering
you.

Sorry, I just noticed it myself. This is wrong. The procedure should be just
lh_config
sudo lh_build

I use the very latest from http://live.debian.net/debian
If you are using Ubuntu, I think you need to make sure your
debootstrap is more recent. I'm not sure the details. I use Debian. :P

'testing' version from live.debian.net (1.0.3-2).
After running the sanity check you gave me, the build resulted in a
binary.iso file. Thanks very much!
However, when booted in Qemu, my built image gives very different
results from the copy of the 4.3 release on webconverger.com. 4.3
presents the Webconverger splash screen, and eventually boots to a
working Webconverger environment.
The .iso created by my build, though, displays the generic Debian
LiveCD bootscreen, and when booted, generates a massive set of errors
about locales, before eventually dropping me into a shell at runlevel
2.
The first few errors at boot read:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog
based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/
Dialog.pm line 75.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Readline
debconf: (Can't locate Term/ReadLine.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/
perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/
perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)
at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Readline.pm line 7.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Teletype
awk: can't open '/root/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED': No such file or
directory
awk: can't open '/root/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED': No such file or
directory
followed by a longer list of specific errors in trying to configure
the locale.
As I mentioned, once this is all finished, I get dropped into a
terminal at runlevel 2.
I pulled a fresh copy and built it again, to make sure I hadn't made
an error, and got the same results. My build process for this fresh
copy was, as per the develop page:
git clone git://git.debian.org/git/debian-live/config-webc.git
cd config-webc/webconverger
export MIRROR_DEBIAN="http://mirror.webconverger.com/debian/" &&
lh_config -b iso -a i386 -p minimal --mirror-bootstrap $MIRROR_DEBIAN
--mirror-chroot $MIRROR_DEBIAN
sudo lh build
Any ideas why my build would have problems with the locale
configuration? Any debugging info I could collect that might be
helpful?
I should probably note that at some point or another, one of the
different builds of live-helper I used installed a file at /etc/
default/live-helper, which it would say it was 'considering' whenever
I did an lh_config. I tried doing a build with the file removed, but I
couldn't see any difference (apart from not getting the line of output
from lh_config about it), so I'm guessing it had no significant impact
on the build.
Also, on a side note, I noticed while testing the 4.3 release that I
couldn't get the print dialog to display via Control-P, which this
link says should work: http://webconverger.org/printing/
Is that out-of-date? Is printing supposed to be disabled right now, or
is something else preventing this from working for me?
Thanks again for your time. I wish I knew a little bit more about how
all this worked, so I didn't have to keep bothering you about it. I've
read what info I can find about live-helper, and gone through chunks
of the wiki at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/, but I still don't
seem to have enough of a grasp of the system to successfully solve my
own problems. Does really understanding the live-helper system mean
reading source?

When I actually used the config script in the 'scripts' directory, it
worked.
I now feel ridiculously, embarrassingly stupid, and apologize for
eating up your time with that post.
Once again, thanks for your time and assistance. Webconverger's a
nifty little system.
