iso-snapshot (Help)

[Member p-and]

I want to make iso-snapshot of antiX 15. First problem was that when I run it, it can not find live-init-antix in repo, I manually found and install live-init-antix_0.8.0_all.deb from one of the mirror repo. And it run and everything looks fine, was successfully end process.
But when I burn ISO, was a problems in boot process, and error when it boots. In result – some things not working.
Here is live-init.log

/live/etc/init.d/live-usb-save
 mkdir: cannot create directory '/live/boot-dev/antiX/state': Permission denied
 /live/etc/init.d/live-usb-save: line 366: can't create /live/boot-dev/antiX/state/machine-state-files: nonexistent directory

I see it removed it on your screen shot.

I wonder if you could boot from a new antiX19.2 flashdrive and use it’s current level iso-snapshot to make the file and burn it to a 2nd flashdrive?

BobC, if I want to create iso snapshot of antiX 19.2 I do so, and did not write here about 15.

I try to create iso snapshot of antiX 19 and I have a similar problems.
I do normal install of antiX 19 to HDD, there was no any problems or errors during install and later.
Then I install few Apps through “Package Installer” in Control Centre.
That’s it, I didn’t do anything else. Then I run “ISO Snapshot” from Control Centre, enter root password…
And run ISO Snapshot with default settings, chose “resetting accounts”.
There was no any errors, was done successfully.
And then I burn ISO to DVD with verify option enabled, was done with no errors as well.
But when I boot from DVD it was problems with main menu – many entries where missing, in Applications menu there was only antiX entry.
When I try to boot with toram option, it was error during boot process:

Will copy files from /live/boot-dev/antiX to /live/to-ram/antiX
 Error: cp: can't stat /live/boot-dev/version: No such file or directory

It boots anyway, but with this error.
What I am doing wrong? How to fix this errors?
Little assistance here?

I don’t have an antiX 15 system to test with anymore.

My theory was that it looks like the process of creating the snapshot back in antiX 15 had problems.

Therefore I suggested to maybe try booting from antiX 19 flashdrive or dvd and use the current software to create a snapshot of your antiX 15 system, and then burn that snapshot to a DVD or Flashdrive.

I was wrong. I looked and the iso-snapshot can only take a snapshot of the current system.

I’m sorry, maybe someone else has a better suggestion.

Could you explain please why you are trying to boot from an ISO of antiX 15, in case someone knows another way to accomplish what you are trying to do?

I found that one of my recent installations also had the Applications completely empty.

When I examined the menu file, I noticed that the Applications entry is actually created by another file in the ~/.icewm folder called
menu-applications. This file was nearly empty and certainly devoid of anything useful.

Fortunately I have more than one antiX installation, and I have other distributions installed on my computer where I also use the IceWM window manager, so I was able to find a syntactically correct menu-applications file.

I will attach it to this message; copy it and then save a copy of it and edit it if necessary to include what you want, then restart IceWM and you will get an Applications menu. If you simply copy my version into your .icewm directory, calling it menu-applications, you will get an Applications menu.
