Problem making the live installer icon appear on KDE desktop.

[Orb]

Hi all,

I am building a KDE appliance and I want the "live installer" icon to appear on the desktop. I built the appliance in the "Disk Image" format so I could use the modified files feature to make the "live installer" icon appear on the desktop whenever the user logs in. I went into the appliance, dragged the "live installer" icon onto the desktop, then ran "sync" in the terminal. Finally I added what I THINK is the right file to my appliance.

Next I re-built my appliance, but when I boot it up and try to log in, this message appears: "Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation."

Did I add the wrong file or do something else wrong?

Hi,
I think i had a similar problem with my distribution. When I was adding an icon to my distribution as an overlay file,
the access rights to the ~/Desktop folder became root. It helped adding this script (run script at the end of this build)

chown -R tux:users /home/tux/Desktop

"The following errors occured while building your image:
Running custom build script failed. You can try adding following options
to the first line of your script for easier debugging:

-e : exit if any command called in the script fails
-u : exit when an uninitialized value is used
-x : print commands and arguments during run


Script output:

chown: cannot access `home/tux/Desktop': No such file or directory

Script exited with code 1"


This error message showed up when I tried to build the appliance. Help?

does it work if you write

chown -R username:users /home/username

where username is the name of your user?

Regards

The appliance builds, but it does not make the changes I wanted it to make.

The Desktop folder is created on your first login, so it does not  
exists yet and that is why you are getting such an error.

I would recommend you to do the following:

1- build your appliance without the script
2- run it on test drive
3- go to a console (Click on the button alt+ctrl+f2)
4- run your script (chown tux:users /home/tux/.kde* -R)
5- reboot (just type reboot on the console)
6- log in into the kde
7- go to overlay files and get the /home/tux/Desktop

/home/tux/Desktop may be empty, but just to make sure it is better to  
do it this way, so permissions are all in place.

hope it helps

Ok, I will post results shortly (too busy right now)

Did not work

It said there was no such file or directory after I ran the command in the appliance

Try creating the Desktop dir before and copy there the  
yast2-live-installer.desktop if you want the user have a link to it:

mkdir /home/tux/Desktop
cp /usr/share/applications/YaST2/live-installer.desktop /home/tux/Desktop
chown tux:users /home/tux -R

This should do the trick. Tell us if it does not.

The appliance boots fine but the live installer icon is not displayed on the desktop. :(

would you mind sending us a link to your appliance so an admin can  
take a look?

thanks
