Well, I've spent the past few hours trying to get the build-script to build an xfce4 & xfce4-goodies debiandog, but each time the script failed to get through. I finally caught the error before it turns itself off in the middle of doing stuff. It had something to do with "libxklavier....". As soon as the script threw up the message that there is/was a "Fatal Error", this libxklavier..... flew by, and the script terminated itself very quickly. I am not sure how to work around this error in the original build script, so, for now, I cannot attempt an XFCE and/or Budgie desktop-environment build using the buildscript.
Anything that stays focused on openbox and lxde, you can build all you want and the script will get through to the end (and have made you a nice, bootable ISO or just use the files from it to set up a frugal install).
I didn't yet experiment with different desktop environments to build with, but about this I was curious (I like xfce )
Couldn't reproduce what you got (not a single error) but probably I did different than you.
Here's my setup (used the GUI):
# Base Apps
xfce4 menu leafpad gparted parted pv synaptic volumeicon-alsa alsa-utils firefox-esr=24.8.0esr-1~deb8u2 pm-utils xdotool wmctrl desktop-file-utils mime-support cryptsetup-bin squashfs-tools conky fakeroot xserver-xorg-input-evdev pfind
# Base Dog Apps
yad gtkdialog obshutdown pup-volume-monitor peasywifi edit-sfs-thunar filemnt-thunar remaster-scripts quick-remaster apt2sfs sfsload fixdepinstall greybird-theme-dd-stretch makedebpackage flashplayerchoice
It did boot fine, but didn't start xfce, so I installed slim login manager from console and ran it:
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install slim
slim
EDIT: The warning message about (login....) disappeared for me when I renamed ~/.xsession to ~/.xsession.bak (after reboot wasn't there anymore)
I then installed also xfce goodies without problems.
There are some problems, e.g. (using save on EXIT) Save or NoSave doesn't appear when shutdown from xfce (and save from console doesn't work in every case), but about that later maybe
Would be good to share your setup (also your successful lxde setup), what needed to be done afterwards etc.
Btw, in general it would be nice if people share in detail different experiments.
I think I will implement in the script a sort of log creation so that it's easy to look afterwards what has been the setup of packages installed.
