Live-USB-maker: bug after updates?

[032_hsnMember]

antiX 26 x64 bit, with dinit:

today after updates = snapshot O.K. – But Live-USB-maker is totally inactive. – Snapshot taken in VirtualBox 7.2.2.

yes their appears to be something wrong with the gui. the commandline live-usb-maker appears to still work.

‘live-usb-maker-gui-antix’ has an option to inspect log.
Could you post all output in the terminal and the log.
Is there anything suggesting the cause of the issue when you start the program from terminal and inspect the log?

As @dolphin_oracle indicated there seems something wrong with gui. CLI version is fine.

OK appreciate the ack. I was beginning to wonder if people were ignoring me for complaining too much 😉

@olsztyn: Not very revealing (at least not to me).

[dolphin_oracleForum Admin]

OK pretty sure its a packaging issue. I think the helper script that live-usb-maker-gui uses to actually launch the processes (either the cli live-usb-maker or dd) is missing from the package.

[dolphin_oracleForum Admin]

put the below in a file called /usr/lib/live-usb-maker-gui-antix/helper

#!/bin/bash
eval "${*}"

and set as executable

sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/live-usb-maker-gui-antix/helper

and see if that helps.

No, I am sure nobody would ignore your report. This is an important issue. Live tools are critical to antiX.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Sorry I didn’t spot this during my extensive testing! One area I did NOT cover was the GUI version of the Live USB Maker. I’ve used it a lot lately, but being a creature of habit, I execute the CLI version /usr/bin/live-usb-maker

I see nothing there yet, but this has worked for me:

Just made a Live USB, so the headline bug is fixed, but I haven’t tested it yet!

Edited & posted from the live system – nice!
