NixOS and trying to customize conty. "This doesn't look like a squashfs image."

[WarrentyExpired]

First of conty is awesome. Thank you for this. So I wanna trim down conty a bit because I don't need/use a lot of the stuff provide. I edited the settings.sh and removed a few things that i didn't need. Ran create-arch-bootstrap.sh (as root) and it finished fine. Ran create-conty.sh again finished fine. When I try to use conty.sh i get this error
./conty.sh: line 244: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input This doesn't look like a squashfs image. Mounting the image failed!
I'm not sure what to do. Would it be easier just to use git actions?

Edit
I just used Git Actions to build it and it runs fine. It must be a NixOS issue. I would really like to build local that way I'm not wasting git resources :/

Hi. I haven't tested creating Conty images on NixOS, so yes, it is likely a NixOS issue. I'll see if i can fix it.

Ok i think I found the issue. Apparently there where errors while the create-conty.sh script was running but it would exit successfully and clear the terminal so I could see them. I removed the "clear" from the script and this is the error.
`Creating Conty...

In this case, installing libgcc package should solve the problem.

It's still failing with the same error message. Is libgcc_s.so.1 supposed to be in the utils.tar.gz package? I see its in the utils_dwarfs.tar.gz
I'm also getting this error when I clone your repo gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I have to manually download them for them to work. How do I force it to use Dwarfs instead of mksquashfs. In the settings.sh I set USE_DWARFS= yes, but its still using mksquashfs.

So I got creative. I extracted conty image that I created using Git Actions. Chrooted into that. Git cloned my conty repository and then created a new conty.sh from with in the chroot environment.

Is libgcc_s.so.1 supposed to be in the utils.tar.gz package?

Yes, i just didn't know that it is needed for mksquashfs. If i don't forget, i'll put it there next time.

I have to manually download them for them to work

Git doesn't clone LFS objects by default. It is needed to install git-lfs package and then execute:

$ git lfs install

But this is not strictly required, create-conty.sh downloads utils automatically if they are not properly downloaded.

In the settings.sh I set USE_DWARFS= yes, but its still using mksquashfs.

USE_DWARFS=yes should work, at least works for me. You have a space between = and yes though, which shouldn't be there.
