I can't create a good *.iso image from my project :(
I use the Pinguy Builder for this operation, but its image doesn't work correctly after installation: its boot loader has defect - installed "Ubuntu Astronomy" distributive can't load :(

Hi :)
Thanks for your job, it's quite impressive ! It reminds me some good time :
I am one of the first "Astronomy DVD maker" (lin4astro www.linux-live-cd.org/?Lin4astro 2005...pfff...11 years... based on a Knoppix live DVD).

And... one of our thinking is a DVD was too large, too big to be used. Now, with modern transfert rate, it's not an issue anymore.
The other thing : a linuxian has still its own distro installed. So having a new one... is not so easy.
For a new comer, it wants to try its hardware to know if it's working under linux without installation.

Finally we thought (project is in a deep deep sleep but some actual software are directly fro lin4astro, i think to siril free-astro.org/index.php/Siril which is based on a lin4astro maker work) :
1) Building a distro is a proof of concept, very useful for public demonstration without no installation on a live DVD. Does yours "live" ?
2) A good point is a PPA/repository/ Metapackage containing all softwares for each distribution. (so it's a pain ;) ...there's too many)
Under mageia for example, there's a "task-astronomy" that install lots of thing ;)

Clear skies,

JB

Hello Oleg,
Did you include Siril image processing software in your iso image: free-astro.org/index.php/Siril
If not yet done I have read on a french site (webastro) that Siril will be in available in the -Debian -Mageia 6 -Ubuntu -Linux Mint. packages.
Is it possible to create a bootable key distribution with your image ?

Hello Oleg,
Thank you for your answer. Did you integrate the edge version of gimp too that gives lot of more features than the one of the standard distrib.
launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-edge
Gimp 2.9.4 and gimp-plugin-registry are very useful.

Hello, I installed ubuntu astronomy this weekend. But I had a problem at the end of the installation: a message informing me that the installation has failed. After restarting, grub disappeared and on screen: grub-rescue>
I had to reinstall grub, and after rebooting, I found that ubuntu-astronomy and my other partitions were ok
My config:
iso : ubuntu_astronomy_16.04_250916_64bit
1 ssd with two partitions, ubuntu16.04 64bits & ubuntu-astronomy 64bits
1 HD with my /home partitions
I recovered the grub using a live session of ubuntu and boot-repair
