[gentoo-catalyst] Some error on my first build..

[Luca Casagrande]

Hi to all!
I got this troubles while building livecd-stage2

1)During the process i got this error:
[..]
Adding games group
mv: cannot stat `/etc/gconf': No such file or directory
sed: -e expression #1, char 21: unknown option to `s'
[..]
The process go on, but i don't know if this is good or not.

2) In the livecd boot, mouse is recognized and gpm works nice, but in X no 
mouse is working. I tested in 3 differents pc (with USB and PS2 input) and 
the same situation happened. Synaptics is working fine.

Thank you very much
Luca

This sounds like you're using 'gentoo-release-livecd' instead of 
'generic-livecd' for livecd/type. The former does things that are specific to 
Gentoo release LiveCDs. You probably don't want this.

Thanks for your answer!
I used:
livecd/type: generic-livecd

Ok. The error from 'mv' is harmless. It just means you aren't using gnome on 
your CD. The sed error I don't know about. It probably means there's an invalid 
sed statement somewhere in catalyst, but I don't know where.

[gentoo-catalyst] Assign the user password

[Luca Casagrande]

Now that much of the problem are solved, I am wondering if there's a way for 
setting the password of the user described in livecd-stage2.spec. I used to 
chroot in it and use passwd, but i wonder if there's a way to do it with 
catalyst.

Thanks
Luca

There's no method on catalyst.  The simple answer is to do it in your
fsscript, along with any other adjustments you need to make.

Thx for your answer Chris...I have read a lot doc about bash, but i don't 
understand how set the password of the user.
Can you post me an example?

Thanks

I've been using that for the installer for ages :P

I just use sed to insert the password hash manually.  I don't know of a
decent commandline tool for changing the password non-interactively.

Right, the mv error is fine.  The sed error is an actual error that only
affects non-release builds, which is why I didn't find it before.  It's
been fixed in catalyst and will show up in 2.0.1, when it is released.
Currently, it causes auto-login to not work properly for X on
non-release builds.  Fixing the sed at the end of
targets/support/livecdfs-update.sh in catalyst should solve the issue.

I have changed that part and now look like this:
if [ -e /etc/startx ]
 then
        sed -i \
                "s:##STARTX:source /etc/profile && su - ${first_user} -c
        startx:" \
                /root/.bashrc

fi

But the error it's still there...

Do you have livecd/users set?

Strange...

$ sed -i "s:##STARTX:source /etc/profile && su - grass3d -c startx:"
~/.bashrc
$

I get no error...
