Live-Magic will not run for me.
I can call up the gui from the /Applications/Accessories menu, go through the different windows and complete them to get to the Apply button.
The response to the Apply button is to create a folder in my /home/tom directory. That is the end of it.
I am running Testing with the Liquorix kernel. Thought that may be a problem so restarted and booted back in on the 2.6.32 kernel. Everything went the same.
root@debian:/home/tom# live-magic

Reboot and log in as root through recovery;

raise IOError, out
IOError: live-build: unrecognized option '--packages-lists=standard'
The last 2 were using the the 2.6.38 kernel.
As even I can see, there seems to be a problem communicating but beyond that I am stumped.
As I am always messing with things, I mean improving my OS, is this something that I may have caused?
Can this be fixed?
Should I scatter out in bunches, pair off in groups and panic?

I love this application.
Ok, have you read the documentation? I'm not being a smart ass, trust me , it's just that I have found the GUI to be a poor option when doing this. If you can get your head around, and it will take a bit of learning, all the various options you are much better off doing it via the command line.
Also, if you are using the Testing version there may be some thing new in it that stops it from working. I read on the list the other day that a version was coming through that will be "broken". Don't ask me why they would release a broken version but it was announced. You may be better off downgrading to the Squeeze version and working from there.

I have been browsing the documentation. I have not really checked "live-build" out that much but did pull it up and got errors on it too.
Down grading or waiting a few days may be a good plan.
I have used remastersys (Ubuntu not with Debian) by the command line. I doubt this would be a lot tougher.
Just been playing with this for a couple days. Sounds pretty slick. My best plan would probably be to study for another day or two. May get an upgrade. May down grade at that point.
CLI is probably the way to go.
They try to bring stuff from sid in when it is usable but it would not do to leave all the FUN for the nuts that run sid.
Thanks for the info, I figured it was an even chance that over the last six months I had done something stupid.

Mate it is an awesome piece of work, you can do so much with it. I prefer it to apps like Remastersys and UCK and you can even use it to make your own flavour of Ubuntu to not that I am inclined to do that now.

Remastersys was alright but it has lost me now, at least until they support the new grub.
UCK? I don't know what that has to do with ISOs but I have stepped in a bunch of it. Oh, I looked it up. Probably something derived from the Debian Live stuff, poorly changed so they can brand it.

I downloaded, by the way, the "Live Manual-en.odt. Beats reading stuff on line and in the man pages. I can set the font and size of font that way too. Easier to read.

There is still a bug on "debian-installer-launcher" that is holding me back. Seeing how there were a lot more than that just a while ago I think that I will wait this out.
Got the live manual read, far from understood. Need to get that last package and try the tutorials given at the end of the manual. They look really well designed to get you on the right track.
Hey, thanks a bunch. I will have a gander at them.
I suppose I should re-register over there now that I am using Debian as my main OS. Have to ponder that a bit. Got a little shy of distro specific forums at the UbuntuForums. Probably silly, but then I did run Ubuntu for a few years so silly is probably my middle name.
Never fooled with Debian-Live (or the Ubuntu version). Used Remastersys for a number of things. Doesn't deal well with the new version of grub though (not at all really).
Was browsing through my menus and found this bugger, read up on it a bit and tried it, didn't work (as in first post).
Seeing that it is getting fixed I have time to do some studying. The debian-live manual is very good but for me to understand something I have to study it and then do it to hammer it into my brain.
I will be checking out your links tomorrow. About time to hit the hay here in Montana.

A word to the wise, both the mentioned forums have had an issue with politics, much like the situation at UF and OU, that caused the split from the original forums.debian.net.
I must admit though that I read through them, won't join either until they both clean up their acts, but find some very good technical info in both.

@k3lt01
I am a registered member of the Debian Forums (.net) from years ago. The thing is I am not, at this point, sure of the user name let alone the password. Quit getting on it as it was getting too nasty.
If I re-register there I will register with both. I suspect that I, too, will become but a lurker in the dark.
@j1alu
I refuse to recognize that there is a difference between them. I bet most of them are registered, oh so carefully, as different users on both. Silly damned crap.
I really need to hit it. About to drop. Got looking at those damned howtos and couldn't quit. Really do thank you and I will be doing more studying tomorrow.
As far as stupidity goes it looks like the UFs are started down that road. Hope it does not go beyond the tipping point. Lost another tester today. I will stick it out there until the last Ubuntu install (testing) that I have quits booting. A couple improvements to Plymouth could fix that tomorrow (gets worse ever time there is an update). Unless they throw me out. See no real reason to care with the way Ubuntu is headed and the respect they have for their users.
Another member their got the "well the UFs is not really representative of users of Ubuntu. There are a lot more that are not members and we have to think of their opinions too" lecture. What a laugh. The UFs is the OFFICIAL forum of Ubuntu, the one that the Ubuntu and Cananicle people say they rarely look at. Where do they get these other users opinions from? What a stupid line to keep pulling out of the hat. Even grumpy geezers like me can see that is just bull.
I think they need to read the definition of Ubuntu again and maybe think on it. I did. I realized that it meant "can't configure Debian". I can, could 2 weeks after I first installed Ubuntu.
Thanks again to both of you. I have got a lot of studying to do in a hurry. They may fix that one package tonight.
