#235 fixed Debathena Live CD installs an initrd that enables compcache. xavid xavid

Reported by xavid, 16 years ago.

Description
   debathena / livecd / xavid  19:54  ('I want to be the duke of Chicago.`)
       Jaunty-compatible live cd is pushed and ready for someone to prod on 
       debuild.  If someone other than me wants to try the
       less-trusted-version, http://debathena-livecd-build.xvm/cds/
   debathena / livecd / xavid  19:59  ('Sucks-to-be-you-tastic.`)
       I guess I'll send mail if no one's particularly up for prodding it now.
   debathena / livecd / andersk  16:53  (Anders Kaseorg)
       debathena-livecd-convert runs `update-initramfs -u` from inside the
       live CD chroot.  As it turns out, this results in machines installed
       using the live CD, such as ozok-the-destroyer.mit.edu, to be fuxx0red
       in various ways (e.g. compcache is enabled).
   debathena / livecd / broder  16:54  (Evan Broder)
       Can you put this on the existing Live CD bug, or open a new one?

       Is that called in the postinst of new kernels?
   debathena / livecd / andersk  16:56  (Anders Kaseorg)
       Yes, but you also call it explicitly.
   debathena / livecd / xavid  16:57  ("Never bite a gift horse in the neck.")
       Right, but I only started doing that a few days ago, and I didn't think
       ozok had been reinstalled in that time.
   debathena / livecd / ezyang  16:57  (Edward Z. Yang)
       Ozok was reinstalled on April 12th
   debathena / livecd / xavid  16:58  ('Do rocks chew their cud?')
       (Previously, the live CD would just be totally broken if there didn't
       exist a more recent kernel to upgrade to at build time.)

       Is the LiveCD still a manual build process?  Weren't we going to do
       something about that?
   debathena / livecd / xavid  17:00  ('Look!  It's really happy!  And by happy,
       I can replace the explicit one with a call to mkinitramfs, but getting
       the postinst to DTRT will be more difficult.
   debathena / livecd / andersk  17:00  (Anders Kaseorg)
       Well, how do the Ubuntu guys do it?
   debathena / livecd.d / xavid  17:01  ('Sucks-to-be-you-tastic.`)
       The Live CD is automated but still has to be run manually, mostly
       because we're not past the point where we need to manually test each
       new iso
   debathena / livecd / xavid  17:02  (“Can vampires suck blood from rocks?”)
       No idea?  My main reference for this has been
       https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, which doesn't
       mention this issue.
   debathena / livecd / andersk  17:05  (Anders Kaseorg)
       Hmm, is the official CD’s casper/initrd.gz different from the
       /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic in the filesystem image?
   debathena / livecd / xavid  17:05  ("Never bite a gift horse in the neck.")
       I assume so.
   debathena / livecd / xavid  17:08  ('Sucks-to-be-you-tastic.`)
       (Based on this new information; before I'd assumed they were the same.)
   debathena / livecd / andersk  17:10  (Anders Kaseorg)
       Have you looked at
       https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ?
   debathena / livecd / xavid  17:18  (“I like horse-molesting monkeys.”)
       Hmm; that's worth looking at.

       Though, it looks like in those instructions it also uses the
       initramfs generated by installing a kernel, and has the same initrd in
       both the actual /boot and the outer /casper, so that doesn't address
       this.

       What are the symptoms of compcache being enabled?  Are you certain that
       normal Ubuntus installed from a Live CD don't have it enabled?

       The easiest way to check is lsmod | grep compcache

       Sounds good.

       I certainly don't do anything that would affect that directly.
   debathena / livecd / andersk  17:34  (Anders Kaseorg)
       compcache gets enabled if you boot with an initrd that was generated  
       on a system with the casper package installed.

#282 fixed Java breaks new Live CD -workstation installs xavid xavid

Reported by xavid, 16 years ago.

Description

Java fails to install from the Live CD because it doesn't prompt the user for the license. This prevents debathena-workstation from actually successfully installing, and among other things makes aptitude decide it would be a great idea to remove twenty million things next time you try to do anything. I should figure out whatever PXE does to preseed license acceptance and do something similar.

#283 fixed debathena-workstation Live CD install doesn't display feedback xavid xavid

Reported by xavid, 16 years ago.

Description

Since the debathena-workstation Live CD install installs -workstation in the success_command, it doesn't display feedback to the user and generally looks like the machine is frozen. We should figure out how to add it to the other install tasks so it actually reveals it's making progress, especially since it takes about three million years now.
