(solved) antiX Core – antix-snapshot-cli – Error

[Member Marco D.G.]

Hi there, I have installed antiX-19_x64-core.iso on a Virtualbox VM then updated and installed the antix-snapshot-cli utility. The problem is that when i create a new Virtualbox VM with the new .iso generated by the antixsnapshot command, after selecting antix-snapshot from the GRUB, it gives me the following Error:

Error: /init: line 1: can’t create /proc/sys/kernel/hotblug: nonexistent directory
Error: mount: mounting /live/aufs on /live/aufs failed: No such device

Fatal Error
Could not mount afs

Here is the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/prt26z

I’ve tried both Kernel 4.9.193-antix.1-amd64-smp and 5.2.8-antix.1-amd64-smp

In this video from runwiththedolphin the error descripted above does not occur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEW9r49ttbs

I don’t know if this matter, but in the installation process I have done:
gpt
sda1 1G Linux swap
sda2 16G Linux filesystem
sda3 3G Linux filesystem
write, quit
root partition: sda2
file system: ext4
use sepatate ‘/home’ partition? y
/home partition: sda3
is sda3 a new ‘/home’ partition? y
file system: ext4
running antix-net? n
install some apps via cli-aptiX? n
install grub on MBR? y

I don’t know if this this even matter, but the disk is an XPG 8200pro NMVE

VirtualBox VM config:
2G memory
2 logic processors
20GB specified dimension

I really wanted to use antiX core to build the system by myself, still keeping the fantastic utilities that antiX offers, any help would be appreciated, Marco.

screenshot shows antiX 14-4-alpha

youtube.com/watch?v=nEW9r49ttbs
video is nearly 6 years old
and the utility “antixsnapshot” (package “antix-snapshot-cli“) mentioned @0:39
has not been updated for 5 years.

In 2018, responding to an inquiry similar to yours, I had uploaded an updated version a newer script which provided functionality similar to the earlier utility: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/isofromlive-a-commandline-utility-creates-an-iso-of-a-running-live-system/
^— That script was intended for use on a liveboot system, not from an _installed_ system.

Unless you start from an antiX 19 or antiX 17 liveboot scenario, I would not expect the 2018 script (and certainly not the 2015 utility) to yield a successful result.

…that package should be removed from the antiX “buster” repository
(and probably the antix17 “stretch” repository as well)

Thank you skidoo for the reply and sorry if I didn’t think it was an outdated package, I will take a look to the utility you have created but I think i will end up not using it as it seems that installing a desktop enviroment and the gui snapshot tool is the way to go. Best regards Marco.
