Thanks to Black Lab Software Team for making it possible that we can create a working remaster from Ubuntu 14.04 once again although they are a bit unhappy by not being supported by community but anyone reading this page will benefit from it since I have tried to report all the issues I faced and also offered the fixes , I hope Black Lab Software Team will appreciate my small contribution for offering possible fixes for the issues faced during remaster. Now I can distribute copy of my remaster to my friends and colleagues :) infact im posting this comment from my remaster atm which I wrote to my USB.<br /><br />RegardsDr.Saleem Khan Marwathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960771689848936649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934347306192418335.post-60805651684004512722014-08-02T02:40:54.265-07:002014-08-02T02:40:54.265-07:00Made another remaster and got the same error , her...Made another remaster and got the same error , here is the error i got<br /><br />http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1603807<br /><br />im just wondering if aufs support is not provided by all latest stock kernels how are balck lab people getting this support ? are they using some custom made kernels?Dr.Saleem Khan Marwathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960771689848936649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934347306192418335.post-13607244217862614882014-08-01T23:25:46.814-07:002014-08-01T23:25:46.814-07:00The ISO was finally created but it failed to boot ...The ISO was finally created but it failed to boot , the setup was un able to load some file and everytime i was thrown into a terminal , I know this is not much of an info to provide but this is what I got myself , im sort of disappointed now that after so many efforts still the blabimage creator failed for me.

It should be included in the above mentioned DO NOT list by the developers of BlackLab Image creator. DO NOT use bleachbit to clean your system before making a remaster it creates a ghost folder of a weird name and with huge amount of conents ( in my case it was named as JpuNGnR8Tw ) . This folder with large amount of waste files left over by bleachbit will not leave sufficient space for remastering process and will kill the process in the middle. If you have such a folder remove it first with the command sudo rm -r JpuNGnR8Tw and then proceed with the remastering later. My remaster is in making , whatever the results I will post here laterDr.Saleem Khan Marwathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960771689848936649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934347306192418335.post-17969019514055224782014-07-26T12:00:47.683-07:002014-07-26T12:00:47.683-07:00Found a useful remark from AV Linux developer, for...Found a useful remark from AV Linux developer, former remastersys user here which means the kernel settings have something to do with this error<br /><br />http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index.php?topic=3401.0Dr.Saleem Khan Marwathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960771689848936649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934347306192418335.post-16373838444255321082014-07-26T10:34:49.048-07:002014-07-26T10:34:49.048-07:00Remaster failed with classic error I noticed on re...Remaster failed with classic error I noticed on remastersys on ubuntu 14.04 last time , nothing different error at all <br /><br />$ sudo BlackLabImager backup custom.iso<br /><br />System Backup Mode Selected<br />Enabling blacklabimager-firstboot<br /> System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/blacklabimager-firstboot already exist.<br />Checking filesystem type of the Working Folder<br />/home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys is on a ext3 filesystem<br />Making sure popularity contest is not installed<br />Installing the Ubiquity KDE frontend<br />Checking if the /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys folder has been created<br />Creating /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys folder tree<br />Creating /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/ISOTMP folder tree<br />Copying /var and /etc to temp area and excluding extra files ... this will take a while so be patient<br />Cleaning up files not needed for the live in /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/dummysys<br />Making sure adduser and autologin functions of casper are set properly<br />Copying memtest86+ for the live system<br />Creating isolinux setup for the live system<br />Checking the ARCH of the system and setting the README.diskdefines file<br />Creating filesystem.manifest and filesystem.manifest-desktop<br />Excluding folder from the backup that will cause issues<br />Copying the install icon to the desktop of saleem<br />Creating the casper.conf file.<br />Checking and setting user-setup-apply for the live system<br />Setting up casper and ubiquity options for backup mode<br />Creating a new initial ramdisk for the live system<br />Copying your kernel and initrd for the livecd<br />Creating filesystem.squashfs ... this will take a while so be patient<br />Parallel mksquashfs: Using 2 processors<br />Creating 4.0 filesystem on /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/ISOTMP/casper/filesystem.squashfs, block size 1048576.<br />[=| ] 3183/137013 2%Updating the blacklabimager.log<br />cat: /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/tmpusers: No such file or directory<br />Cleaning up the install icon from the user desktops<br />Removing the ubiquity frontend as it has been included and is not needed on the normal system<br />ls: cannot access /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/ISOTMP/casper/filesystem.squashfs: No such file or directory<br />/usr/bin/BlackLabImager: line 647: [: : integer expression expected<br />Calculating the installed filesystem size for the installer<br />Could not open /home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/ISOTMP/casper/filesystem.squashfs, because No such file or directory<br />Removing blacklabimager-firstboot from system startup<br /> Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/blacklabimager-firstboot ...<br /> /etc/rc0.d/K20blacklabimager-firstboot<br /> /etc/rc1.d/K20blacklabimager-firstboot<br /> /etc/rc2.d/S20blacklabimager-firstboot<br /> /etc/rc3.d/S20blacklabimager-firstboot<br /> /etc/rc4.d/S20blacklabimager-firstboot<br /> /etc/rc5.d/S20blacklabimager-firstboot<br /> /etc/rc6.d/K20blacklabimager-firstboot<br />The filesystem.squashfs filesystem is missing.
