Remastersys is back in active development

[BrokenKingpin]

I've added most things that folks would need to do on the gui so you shouldn't have to do much manually anymore.

Things like settings the grub background, setting the background for the live menu, creating a new plymouth theme, and copying your settings to /etc/skel are now all included in the gui and are a simple click away.

The package that is up there is pretty much the final but I haven't officially released it yet as I'm trying to get my ppa setup for it.

That sounds awesome... I look forward to giving it a try.

i use this tool to understand these processes and i have introduced 4 people to ubuntu who are still using it as their only os because of this tool.. you have done mighty fine work..

i read how you were surprised how many people use it because all you ever heard were the complaints.. wasnt it once said "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"? only a very small percentage of folks complain about anything so i use it as a gauge..

the more whiners, the more finer the product..

i think ill stick to learning and leave the sayings to those more capable

Wow,what a great news for me today.
Remastersys living again.
That was something i was really missing.

Thanks Fragadelic for sharing your hard work with all of us.
I appreciate it very much .

Best regards and have a nice day budy.

Thanks.

I have actually already released the second version since continuing.

I am currently working on updating the debian version of remastersys and a new qt gui for remastersys for ubuntu. Once I finish with it I will split remastersys off into 3 packages. The base cli package, the gtk frontend, and the qt frontend. The debian version will end up using these new frontends as well.

I've already added mate but need info on where Cinnamon stores config files and can put that in too. Will be in the next version 3.0.2 of remastersys.

That would be very nice!

If it is .local then it is already included. You should be all set for both if you use 3.0.1.

I test with newer version remastersys 3.0.1-1 on Ubuntu 11.10
and Mate works fine.
Cinnamon doesn' t work, after login returns to classic Ubuntu.

You need to make sure cinnamon is set as the default desktop environment on your system. If you are going into unity then that is the default.
