Unable to respin 18.04

[atillier]

Hi,

The current version looks quite broken. First run after a fresh clone always gives

./build.sh ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso -c bionicbeaver
Setting compatibility...
Isorespin script not found. Please get a complete copy of this toolkit from
https://github.com/stockmind/dell-xps-9560-ubuntu-respin

Then I can grab the file mysef but according to issue#44 it should be pulled automatically at some point.

After getting that script I am getting another issue

./isorespin.sh: Cannot fetch mainline kernel header file . from . http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.2/ ;  check your internet connection and try again.

I changed the error message to see that the URL is mis-built.

I am trying to fix it and might suggest a PR for the later one. The first one is definitely a problem though.

Thanks
Adrien

Sorry, lately i was just using the docker build process. Fix should be quite easy. Will look into It ASAP.

Great thanks stockmind.

Regarding the other issue it's actually coming from isorespin directly / the ubuntu kernel page. By default it will go to 5.2 and there is no link to the amd64 debs: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.2/

Is it because the build failed for them? Is 5.2 safe anyway or would you recommend another one? (I am respining for a 9550)

Thanks
Adrien

Okay so instead of using the default one I tried with v5.1.16:

I suspected something with permissions but I believe this is rather an issue with my host (Ubuntu 17). It seems like the scripts are assuming a given system is in place. I am therefore trying the docker approach.

Oh well I just re-read your read me ; the "-c" is for specifying the system it's rebuilding "on". I guess I got mislead with the "Build Ubuntu 18.04 ISO or 2018+ newest distro". So I assune all my issues are because of the "-c bionicbeaver" option.
