Live CD issues (fix this before running Installer)

Fix grub install error

A last -minute bug has sneaked into our GRUB/GRUB-EFI recipe.

Please install the updated revision of GRUB/GRUB-EFI, before attempting to install GoboLinux from the LiveCD:

InstallPackage https://gobonextgen.org/Packages/017.01/GRUB--2.12-r1--x86_64.tar.bz2
InstallPackage https://gobonextgen.org/Packages/017.01/GRUB-EFI--2.12-r1--x86_64.tar.bz2

You will be prompted to update some settings. Select “U” on each prompt.

Now you can proceed the installation of GoboLinux 017.01 via our Installer.

Other outstanding issues

Some problems have been reported by our users and are currently being fixed by our team. They are:

  • Copy-and-paste does not work out of the box from a VM. Compiling spice-vdagent and loading its daemon should fix that.
  • Sometimes when trying to Compile an already-installed Program, the build process will fail (see Compile bug 51). Sometimes this can be worked around by first manually doing a RemoveProgram <failing program> before re-attempting to Compile it. Note that it is generally a bad idea to try to RemoveProgram, say, Python3 like this as it will break Compile. UPDATE: This bug has been mitigated for 99% of cases.
  • ContributePackage is not working – use ContributeRecipe instead.
