cannot download "gfxboot-theme-ubuntu" on Ubuntu 15.04 (vivid )

The correct file name for Ubuntu 15.04 is: gfxboot-theme-ubuntu_0.18.0.tar.xz, as specified in sources.tar.gz

Need I install gfx? I just wanna create custom iso which is includes tr language and testdisk and updated sources.list so I decided to use Ubuntu builder and there was an error if I want to install custom applications so I skipped installing testdisk and it created custom ISO which has updated sources.list and tr language. But in every time I need to install testdisk.

Sources.gz (not .tar.gz) downloaded from archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/source/Sources.gz does NOT contain gfxboot-theme-ubuntu*

So, a workaround would be to patch the /usr/lib/uck/customization-profiles/localized_cd/customize_iso script to check to make sure gfxboot-theme-ubuntu exists in Sources.gz

If it doesn't exist, then set GFXBOOT_THEME_UBUNTU_SOURCE_PACKAGE=gfxboot-theme-ubuntu_0.16.1.tar.gz. (The uck script expects tar.gz, not tar.xz)

This is what worked for me.

Additonally, if working in Ubuntu 15.04, you will also need to path the /usr/lib/uck/remaster-live-cd.sh script to "echo" error messages when isohybrid does not exist:

failure "You asked for a hybrid ISO but isohybrid command was not found" -> echo "You asked for a hybrid ISO but isohybrid command was not found"

in Ubuntu 15.04, isohybrid command is provided by the "syslinux-utils" package.

@sww I will try to patch for customize.iso script but I didn't understand exactly how I will do. Please explain it to me? And Sorry for bad English because it is my third language. And also what about "echo" error?

So I need to install this package?

Fixed issue:

Up to 14.10 the GFXBOOT_THEME_UBUNTU_SOURCE_PACKAGE was called, gfxboot-theme-ubuntu_0.**.0.tar.gz, but from 15.04 is is called gfxboot-theme-ubuntu_0.**.0.tar.xz

Bug still exists

LOL the above patch undoes the patch so one could return to original file.

this patches /usr/lib/uck/customization-profiles/localized_cd/customize_iso

to allow iso to be built.

It worked to me.

Sorry for last comment, it have a typo.

I modified /usr/lib/uck/customization-profiles/localized_cd/customize_iso

and

- tar xfz *.tar.gz

-cd gfxboot-theme-ubuntu
+cd gfxboot-theme-ubuntu-0.18.0

It worked to me.

@carpediem75 did you create successfully iso?. I look for "grep gfxboot" but it doesnt includes in sources.gz file (I do it manually.And let me know your email to talk about this bug.

@makgun0226 yes I created a successfully iso.

sorry for late answer. I see your request now

@carpediem75 I also created iso successfully but I can't boot from grub with specific language but I can write iso to USB pen drive using `dd` which boots system from iso linux boatloader which ask me keyboard and language to boot.

Also there is some problems with running terminal in chroot so at the selection screen I opened new terminal and I started chroot manually and I could install which programs I need like java. But I still couldn't find anyway to start iso file's boatloader from my harddisk boatloader (grub2 boatloader). Thanks for reply.

Yes, but to get language working I haven't selected it on first request and selected on second and third request.
After that I installed it manually on console with: apt install language-pack-xx
