Thread: Remastersys ISO does not boot

hi all. i've been using remastersys many years make backups myself , share custom installations friends. encountered problem (x)buntu 11.10. iso created perfectly, when booting (either in vm or on main pc dvd), hangs @ first line , not display livecd gui menu. happened on pc remastersys versions after 2.015. earlier versions did not have livecd gui , text based selection works, new version 3 of remastersys did not boot past first line.

problem due syslinx files. when have different versions of syslinux files on pc (vmware instance has it's own version), remastersys possibly links incorrect version.

fix easy - put following in executable file (i called mine "remastersys_fix.sh"), run , remastersys works correctly again , boots iso livecd gui

#!/bin/bash
sudo cp /usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin /etc/remastersys/customisolinux

sudo cp /usr/lib/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 /etc/remastersys/customisolinux

sudo cp /etc/remastersys/isolinux/isolinux.cfg.vesamenu /etc/remastersys/customisolinux/

sudo mv /etc/remastersys/customisolinux/isolinux.cfg.vesamenu /etc/remastersys/customisolinux/isolinux.cfg

sudo cp /etc/remastersys/isolinux/splash.png /etc/remastersys/customisolinux/


can naturally use own "splash.png"

were put .sh file , in iso created remastersys or before create iso?
