Archiso archwiki issues
I've been trying to (so far has been so good) create a custom arch live cd that just zero's hard disks in computers (for a part time job I have refurbing computers).
Anyways, when I get to the ./build.sh portion of the article it wont build the iso because it can't find archiso.img, which cant be found using `find . | grep archiso.img`.

FATAL: Hook 'archiso' can not be found.
I've done everything so far: copied over my script, edited rc.local and installed bc and eject.
Only issue I have is that the archiso can't be found. I'm lost, any fill me in?
I've tried it the manual way except I get the same error (because it obviously attempts to do the same thing)

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
Please start threads in appropriate forum.
Moving to Newbie Corner...
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
I apologize, it seemed to me like it was something lacking in the wiki. Thank you for moving the post. djgera what version of mkinitcpio are you using? I have the most up to date version from the git repos which I guess is why archiso is broken (after pacman -Syu).
I'm going to start hunting for old versions of mkinitcpio and see if I can guess which version will work (I hate this 
)

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
Okay so I downgraded to every package below in my cache,
[root@127 baseline]# ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep mkinitcpio
mkinitcpio-0.6.11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
mkinitcpio-0.6.12-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
mkinitcpio-0.6.15-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
mkinitcpio-0.6.8-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
mkinitcpio-0.7.2-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
Yet none of these packages fix this issue. I even tried to upgrade to 0.7.2-1 and it just gives me the same old error. (of course)

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
Hello.
mkinitcpio-0.7.2-1 and
http://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.g … ter.tar.gz
looking in the logs, you are running and older mkinitcpio, ensure all things up-to-date.

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
It was upgraded before I even tried so I tried downgrading because you said I was using new mkinitcpio.
I tried downloading what you got me to download. I don't understand why the wiki or source wasn't officially updated on the wiki then.
I'll try to mess around with that gz that you got me to download. It doesn't seem to be too familiar, but I'll look into it when I have some more free time after work.
Any pointers or suggestions? I'm kinda frustrated right about now. been working on trying to get a functional custom live cd for like 2 weeks now.
Thanks djgera

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
Just take a minute, and start again. Are you using a chroot?
downloading snapshot or using git-clone is the same, just another option.
In resume (copy & paste in a terminal, just works)
mkarchroot /tmp/chroot base
git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git
make -C archiso/archiso DESTDIR=/tmp/chroot install
mkarchroot -r bash /tmp/chroot
mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
pacman -S devtools squashfs-tools syslinux cdrkit --noconfirm
cp -r /usr/share/archiso/configs/baseline /tmp
cd /tmp/baseline

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
I want to make archlive gnome3; archiso based on archwiki is always making "base" 145mb iso; which boots properly; but trying these doesn't help to install
mkarchroot /tmp/chroot base gnome xorg xorg-xinit xtermor
after mkarchroot -r bash /tmp/chroot
pacman -Sy gnome xorg xorg-xinit xterm either way, I'm only getting 145mb base rescue iso which boots fine with qemu, but there is no /usr/bin/gnome-session!
Please help. I want to have archgnome3_live along with installtion option. is it possible? Thanks.

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
What are you doing is installing gnome/xorg in your build chroot, not in root-image.
Edit build.sh from baseline profile, add what your want.

Thank you so much, now gnome3 crashes in qemu as expected 
due to lack of 3d. Archlinux and gnome3 is a very good combination.
djgera,
Please, to complete the archlive gnome3 cd, help me with:
1. rc.conf (I want to enable dbus, networkmanager, bluetooth in the livecd)
2. inittab (I want to enable x:gdm instead of xdm)
3. add user with permissions (user "arch", named "Arch Linux User"; password "arch") (need to edit group and passwd files)
I don't know how to edit the live-system's configuration files, should I edit files directly in chroot folder or need to edit the script files inside baseline folder before running ./build.sh?
EDIT: I've just looked into /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng/build.sh and found some hints...
# Customize installation (root-image)
make_customize_root_image() {
if [[ ! -e ${work_dir}/build.${FUNCNAME} ]]; then

chroot ${work_dir}/root-image /usr/sbin/useradd -m -p "" -g users -G "audio,disk,optical,wheel" arch

fi
}and the whole build.sh (which i have to copy paste in terminal) after chrooting, can we copy build.sh from $HOME/build.sh to chroot?
Thanks a lot for helping.

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
You are welcome.
You can see configs/releng profile for more advanced things like this. Anyway, all you need to do is make a directory inside your custom profile, for example "root-image", put all files you want inside it (your custom rc.conf inittab, and others. root-image/etc/rc.conf , root-image/etc/inittab, ...). These files will be copied with this change:

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
Yes, I did read it, and misunderstood that "root-image" means "/tmp/baseline/work" folder (as in root of the iso image);
On looking the second time, I got it, I needed to create a directory named "root-image" in /tmp/baseline/ in which I have to create the file-system structure/layout, and put files/folder as I want to be overwritten in the livecd iso.
e.g., I created /tmp/baseline/root-image/etc and copied my custom inittab, and on running build2.sh, it worked like a charm
thank you, i'll be soon sharing archgnome iso in a day or two, if I get it right. (need to add proper dependencies, drivers etc. to iso)
Thank you again for the guidance and your precious time.

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
hurray, gnome3 live dvd boots fine. and one can see and use archlinux with gnome3 live!
Unfortunately the live usb created by
dd if=myiso.iso of=/dev/sdb is not booting, it is stopping at arch label something.
Installing iso to usb disk using unetbootin also do not boot live-gnome3 image 
Please guide me for live-usb creation of the custom iso live image. instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … NU.2FLinux not working (I did not try the manual one). I'll do if you suggest.
Please!

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
All you need to know is archisolabel=XXXX must match filesystem label where "arch" is found.
I suggest the method non-hybrid method

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
Hi again, Archiso wiki does not show how to make a custom install iso, and custom install + live iso.
I'd really, really appreciate and I'd love to make a custom install + live iso with gnome3 and archlinux together. as gnome-shell is very easy and simple for computer newbies. I hope to share linux with regular computer users not just geeks and nerds.
Here's the live gnome-shell + archlinux's "build4.sh" which can be used with archiso wiki to create a live gnome-shell based arch live iso. I used 2 terminals, one to chroot to /tmp/archiso and other to copy build4.sh to /tmp/.../.../baseline
build4.sh:

p.s. I did search wiki, google, but could not make anything on how to make a custom install iso. Archlinux is the best base to install all the linux desktop stuff on it.
Please consider updating archiso wiki to include "custom (packages) install iso" which can be installed like current arch install cd on the disk.
This way we can make arch+xfce, arch+lxde, arch+kde, arch+gnome-shell, arch+gnome2, arch+enlightenment and spread the spirit of OS freedom.
Thank you.

I'd love to. As a matter of fact, today itself, I added one section to pulseaudio wiki, which solves the age old problem of noise in mic recording. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … _Recording
But with archiso, I don't know how to make the "install iso" of my selected packages, base, xorg, gnome-shell, mplayer, firefox, etc.
The build4.sh is about "live cd" not "custom arch install cd"
Could you please guide me, on how to make a "custom arch install iso with gnome-shell packages included" which can be installed. And I'll be glad to update wiki, once I learn it.
how is it different from live-cd build4.sh? I am wondering where should I put the "to be installed" tar.xz files and how will the installer know/allow the custom packages in the install cd to be installed.
I really need your guidance.
Thanks.

Re: Archiso archwiki issues
Maybe the right tool for that case is AIF
