How do I install remastersys?

I was following instruction from http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu.html to install remastersys in my system. On apt-get update always get error that the could not find correct structure of URL.

Any help?

Solution 1:

You can install Remastersys in Ubuntu 12.04

As root - issue

'sudo su' 

in the terminal window prior to the following command.

wget -O - http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu/remastersys.gpg.key | apt-key add -

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line

#Remastersys Precise
deb http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu precise main

Now open the terminal and type

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install remastersys remastersys-gui

Here is the screenshot

Solution 2:

Two things - one; I believe they've started up work on Remastersys again.

Two; Relinux seems nice and has a purpose, but it is NOT the same as Remastersys. When it comes to creating installable live CD clones of a system with its installed software, it fails miserably. With Relinux, you get the base OS, plus whatever packages you include via Relinux. Very nice, to be sure, but a far cry from Remastersys's simple elegance of just grabbing and wrapping up everything exactly as it is for your later live-disc amusement.

Relinux may be "better" at making a particular distro, but FAILS MISERABLY if what you want is a live image of your current system.

Solution 3:

Its happening because there is a deb-src line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Either remove or comment this out:-

deb-src http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu precise main

Solution 4:

-Remastersys is no longer supported, actually-. There is a new project, Relinux, that aims to be better than Remastersys ever was, while allowing you to do the same thing (remaster your system).

Solution 5:

Since the web site http://www.remastersys.com now seems to have disappeared permanently, the above instructions don't work as they rely on downloads from the website.

This is what I did to get a copy of Remastersys 3.0.4-2 running on Ubuntu 14.04.

1. Go to this website: http://www.filewatcher.com and search for, then download the following files:

   remastersys_3.0.4-2_all.deb
   remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_i386.deb (32-bit)
   remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_amd64.deb (64-bit)

2. Install as follows:

   sudo apt-get install plymouth-x11       
   sudo dpkg -i remastersys_3.0.4-2_all.deb  
   sudo dpkg -i remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_i386.deb     (32 bit)
   sudo dpkg -i remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_amd_64.deb   (64 bit)
   

3. If you have unmet dependencies run:

   sudo apt-get -f install
   

4. Launch Remastersys as follows:

   sudo remastersys-gui
   

   This will bring up the usual Remastersys GUI menu.
