General Support / Creating a custom image
« on: June 06, 2014, 01:09:38 PM »
I followed the steps in the Rebuilidng the Base Image part of the Customization page. In essence all I added to the image were:
After I did all these changes I rebooted it so I could run the advanced install, and chose: When the menu appears, select option "5. Expert Options" From the next menu, select option "1. Update the image on the key using this machine as a model".
I waited until it was finished, rebooted properly, but when i use the newly created key, it boots looking normal, but after the Ubuntu splash screen, i just get a cursor in the top left of the screen and nothing else, does not boot to the desktop. I am really wanting to create a boot key that has all my changes so that I can deploy to some labs. The changes are too many to retro on a basic install, mostly the smarter balanced changes.
Any idea what causes this?
I did create a different key by not going into the rebuilding bas image mode, but rather making the changes listed above, and then making a key from this model, but none of the software was installed, although the browser home pages were still there.
- The Smarter Balanced Browser
- The 32 bit libraries needed to make it run
- The GAPPS icons
- I modified the browser (firefox and chrome) homepages to open to my district home page
- The Reminna RDP client to allow access to Windows terminal servers
