For a few monthes I've been using a VM based on the Turnkey PostgresQL appliance.  I've made a bunch of mods (package installs, conf file changes etc)

Now I'd like to create an ISO that others can use to install my modified appliance.  I'm trying to do so using the tklpatch scripts, which I chose for a couple of reasons:

-- I'd like to be able to create patches in the future

-- I'm new to the process of creating ISOs, and to related topics like chroot and mksquashfs.  Tklpatch  seems like a nice way to see how these steps fit together.

under webmin - system - software package updates -

I have run the updates once without issue - on the the second time doing the updates I got the following error:

No packages were installed. Check the messages above for the cause of the error.

Any ideas???

Has anyone had success developing a patch? I am using a TKL Core VM to develop the patch and whenever I chroot or try running tklpatch on an iso, it fails because it can't resolve the ubuntu repositories.

I get errors like this when executing 'apt-get update':

Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release.gpg
  Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'
 

 I am getting the following error when I attempt to launch an instance.

Subscription to ProductCode A68DA028 required.

 I deployed a Turnkey LAMP appliance to VPS.net's cloud (which uses Xen virtualisation). From time to time the server (which is fully up to date) experiences what is reported on the console as "soft lockups", like below. I find this baffling. VPS.net support say this is a kernel bug with Ubuntu 32bit. Is this correct? Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?

The machine becomes unresponsive and an endless stream of these messages are spewed on the console:

 Hi,

I downloaded the VMWARE file for the Drupal Appliance. After which I got VMWare Player and loaded the file. Now I get this command prompt interface that i know nothing about. I thought there was a GUI. Please help me clear up this confusion. 

Thank you.

Dear All ..

I want to start learning tklpatch.

The problem is I only have one PC with Jaunty Installed, and this is where I do my daily activity.

Is it safe to apt-get install tklpatch in this pc (since the repo is "hardy") ?

Sincerely

I have deployed the project pier VA into a VM Ware environment.  I have changed the disk space in vmware to 40 gig instead of the default 20, but I have not figured out how to get the OS to regonize the increased storage space.  I do not have a lot of experience with linux, but am a quick study.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
