You'll have to rezero your overlay file and start over then... You can do it manually from a windows or linux box but the dd command is a little different for each. On a linux box it's something like:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mount/path/LiveOS/overlay-{LABEL}-{UUID} bs=1M count={size of overlay in MB}
Or on windows (the dd.exe is located under tools in the liveusb-creator directory)
dd.exe if=/dev/zero of={drive letter}:\LiveOS\overlay-{LABEL}-{UUID} bs=1M count={size of overlay in MB}
Just look at the current name of your overlay file and overwrite it rather than looking up the LABEL and UUID.
I, like others, have created an extra entry in my syslinx.cfg without the overlay option just in case I hose my overlay file and still want to be able to use it.
Hi, Richard. I decided that I might as well start again from the beginning :-)
The install seems to go well enough, as does the update, right to the very end. I glanced at the screen when it had about 5 packages still to go in the cleanup, but the next time I looked it said:
File "usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 597, in call_blocking message.append(signature=signature, *args) TypeError: More items found in D-Bus signature than in Python arguments.
Is this a big problem?
I had removed /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules, but I see it has been created again. This time there is also a 50-udev.nodes. Do I delete both of these?
Anything else I need to deal with before attempting a reboot?
