Script continues without waiting for chroot to finish

[Storhemulen]

Hi!

I´m running JLIVECD on ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64, trying to edit debian-live-8.8.0-amd64-standard.iso
When the chroot terminal opens, the script doesn´t wait for chroot to finish, it just keeps going.
I tried to set a longer timer value with JLopt -t 600, but it still only waits 15s.

What am I doing wrong?

I couldn't reproduce it (in Xubuntu 16.04 LTS with debian-live-8.7.1-amd64-xfce-desktop) . Unfortunately I don't have the 8.8.0 live cd of debian right now. Can you provide me with all the terminal outputs? (you may/should replace the actual username in the output with user for privacy and security)

Also the output of the following command:

ls -la /usr/local/JLIVECD

[neurobin]

and also the content of /usr/local/JLIVECD/.config

cat /usr/local/JLIVECD/.config

and the content of .config in your project dir:

cat /your/project/dir/path/.config

I've found a workaround:
When chroot opens a new window, I quickly go back to the window with the script and press ctrl+z
then when I'm done in chroot I just restart the script with fg

Thanks for taking your time to cooperate. I got something that caught my eye:

You said you were modifying a debian live iso, but you seem to ran it in ubuntu mode (OSMODE=ubuntu), and IMAGENAME=Ubuntu xenial 20160422-09:27 says it was actually a ubuntu live iso not debian or may be you modified the IMAGENAME property later. Can you confirm these?

However I will mention some points that may make things a bit more clear:

1. To modify debian live cd you must run it in debian mode (you can change the OSMODE property in ~/finalone/.config file)
2. seems like JLopt -t failed to update the /usr/local/JLIVECD/.config file. You can manually edit it to change the timeout value. I will investigate further on why it failed to update the value.
3. You should keep the IMAGENAME unchanged in .config file even though changing it will work without any problem. If you want to change it, you can override it in the config.conf file in the project directory.

I'm also experiencing the issue where JLIVECD does not pause after launching the chroot environment. This happens when I run JLIVECD under Linux Mint 18 or 18.2. When I run under Linux Mint 17.3, however, JLIVECD pauses at the appropriate place. Linux Mint 17.3 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty), while 18.x is based on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)

@frozenbubbleboy can you provide more info?:

1. Host system: LM 18.2
2. Live system:
3. Post here the content of .config file inside the project dir.

Also, if you could post the entire terminal output when this problem occurs, that would be very helpful.

@frozenbubbleboy

1. which terminal you are using, gnome-terminal, mate-terminal, xfce-terminal?
2. Which DE you are using, cinnamon, mate, xfce, kde?

[frozenbubbleboy]

Gnome-terminal on Cinnamon

[neurobin]

Can you check what happens if you use a different terminal:

sudo apt-get install xterm
sudo JLopt -t1 xterm

[frozenbubbleboy]

Things work as intended when launching xterm as the chroot terminal. This appears to be a change in behavior with gnome-terminal.

yes i am be able to reproduce the bug. i am using mint 18.3
