bug report install-mount-rsync fails to find local ubuntu syslinux 6.03 #21
Comments
OK, thanks for the report and the kudos! |
dilbert@thinkpad-t470:~$ apt-file list syslinux |
dilbert@thinkpad-t470:~$ lsb_release -a |
dilbert@thinkpad-t470:~$ uname -a |
possible error is |
Thanks. I'll dig this and handle more carefully distro variations around syslinux deployment :-) |
thank you! |
Infected from same error, Exactly same, i modified code myself but still there is no bios folder where its looking for, install-auto, install-dd both works fine.... i think we have to use the windows's isos method on linux iso's too, i will try to add gpt support in it too, cool cli tool, thanks though ;) |
@HassanMirza01 Sorry about that ; I'll check that tonight! |
not an issue, i figured it out myself, actually mbr.bin file is in lib/syslinux/mbr/ not in bios/mbr/ |
@jsamr even though i didn't understood that extbin thing but my iso of debian booting fine with correct syslinux install with install-mount-rsync option, still in burning iso, i can see errors of extbin but c32 bios modules installed successfully... i think we dont need extbin at all, i didn't find anything regarding it on web even.... bootiso: Created USB device mount point at '/mnt/usb.jtI' bootiso: Copying files from ISO to USB device with 'rsync' bootiso: Synchronizing writes on device '/dev/sdb' - bootiso: Found local SYSLINUX version '6.03' bootiso: ISO SYSLINUX version matches local version. bootiso: Installing SYSLINUX bootloader in '/mnt/usb.jtI/arch/boot/syslinux' with local version '6.03'... bootiso: C32 BIOS modules successfully installed. /home/hassanmirza01/bin/bootiso: line 677: 'extBin': syntax error: operand expected (error token is "'extBin'") /home/hassanmirza01/bin/bootiso: line 938: wait_for: No record of process 4342 bootiso: ISO succesfully unmounted (/mnt/iso.6WB). bootiso: USB device partition succesfully unmounted. bootiso: Successfully installed SYSLINUX bootloader at version '6.03'. dd: failed to open 'extlinux': No such file or directory bootiso: Succesfully installed Master Boot Record program. bootiso: Took 120 seconds to perform Required action. bootiso: USB device successfully ejected. You can safely remove it! hassanmirza01@bionic:~$ |
@HassanMirza01 |
Well, not an issue, for me, linux iso's working fine with both methods, even though extbin errors came but i will remove their lines etc, Am focussing on windows iso stuff now, just noticed that ms-sys discontinued long ago, find a way to get it done ;) |
@HassanMirza01 That is probably because the ISO you're referring to supports UEFI as your BIOS do. Syslinux job is to install a legacy BIOS bootloader (and the MBR program) to boot on older devices. You can confirm this with |
my laptop support both legacy and uefi boots, but windows iso's need to support correct one according to partition scheme of hdd, in that case, its GPT, so i need uefi one, mbr is old fashioned now, i have found a way to achieve gpt stuff too... i will may be made a pull request for bootiso ;) |
@HassanMirza01 OK, see if your experience with Windows is related to #15. For any pull requests, I suggest we discuss first some details in the gitter channel I've just open on purpose! |
i succeeded in booting GPT burned on my Ubuntu 18.04, and its showing drives and i know that issue, drivers missing it says if we boot mbr on gpt or gpt on mbr etc, but i succeeded in achieving it... tried windows 10 1607 LTSB and it worked perfectly, adding in my program, actually i wrote my own script named BurnISO but i was missing some commands which i gets from your script, commands like syslinux related, i have added gpt thing in that and its working like a charm ;) |
@dilbert-tctc @HassanMirza01 curl -L https://rawgit.com/jsamr/bootiso/v3.1.2-rc-1/bootiso -O
chmod +x bootiso |
man, you are doing it more complicated... installing mbr is just one command thing, thats why i removed all syslinux stuff i added from your script, its not a big thing though.... |
@HassanMirza01
Perhaps you have now more elements in mind to understand the need for such "complexity", but if you don't, and if you find there is a better, simpler way to achieve the same results, with the same match of compatible systems, I'm very open to hear it. |
Cool bro... I understood it well now, actually your install mbr program is too long may be thats why i responded like that, also, i never used other distros than *ubuntu, |
@HassanMirza01 np :-) |
@HassanMirza01 It would be very nice of you to check there are no more errors with the v3.1.2-rc-1! |
I've tested in an Ubuntu VM and the issue did not occur. Closed. Fixed in latest release |
I just did a quick check with Ubuntu and it worked for me. Thanks again! |
