[DONE] RFT experimental Deuterium amd64 iso with EFI

It happens at grub when you boot the ISO whether you are installing or just running a live session, so it's not necessarily a one time event.

Our current stable images are fine, this was one of the first issues I tackled, but all of Debian's jessie live images beep afaik.

It's up to those with EFI hardware to state their case as to whether you should rebuild this image, I also don't have any EFI hardware ATM.

The beep is when the live iso boots, not when the installed system starts.

^Summarizing my post, damo?

^ No - clarifying what I see on my hardware

Ah yes I forgot about booting the live system.

Opinions please.
Though, first we have to find where the beep is coming from.
(The image will be rebuilt probably a couple more times anyway so that itself is not an issue.)

Confirmed, it's not a bug. Not having a beep with the UEFI boot was considered a bug, and fixed in 2015. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=796591

It now remains to track down where in the code that "bug" was fixed...

I have *never* heard a beep when booting the new ISO image in UEFI mode.

My firmware is crap though

EDIT: I will test the image later on my (non-UEFI) ThinkPad — that beeps like a censored sailor under OpenBSD...

To clarify, NOT in the configuration files of the build you are running, but in the file system of the drive that the package live-build was installed on (the computer your running the build FROM, not the build's files).

It's there so sight impaired folks know they're at the grub menu? Can we assume that Openbox users aren't sight impaired?

^ Because I do not have any real hardware,i "play" the ISO on EFI in the Qemu.
Unfortunately, i nothing can read.

My command:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -k de -smp 2 -m 2048 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -soundhw all -monitor stdio -snapshot -pflash /home/unklarer/Downloads/efi/OVMF-X64/OVMF.fd -cdrom /media/Distris/bunsenlabs/live-image-amd64-170211-stretch_build.hybrid.iso -name stretch -boot d

sha-sum is ok

What is that extra flash image for?

Try it without -monitor

I had the Deuterium ISO image booting and installing using the commands listed in this guide:

Actually, @hhh you're a bit too emphatic there. If there is no config/bootloader/isolinux directory, then live-build uses the contents of /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders/isolinux, but if the config files are there they're used instead (see /usr/lib/live/build/binary_syslinux, from line 109), so the beep can be removed by editing config/bootloaders/isolinux/menu.cfg. I've confirmed this, and the isolinux beep is fixed in the non-efi isos I built, just like yours.

In fact, after hours of googling and grepping of live-build and debian-installer code, I think I've pinned down where the EFI boot beep is coming from - it turns out to be obvious, like all these things. By analogy with isolinux, you can copy /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders/grub-pc into config/bootloaders and edit grub.cfg there. (@hhh if at some point you want to theme the iso EFI boot interface I think that directory might be the place to look.)

Hope to build a new beepless EFI iso today - also with another easter egg with any luck...

That's the reason I guess. Accessibility is important, but that assumption might be correct. Having the boot beep wouldn't be much help unless the whole speech synthesis mechanism was in place.

Great work j-raff, thanks!

Found it

My configuration was from earlier and too old.
The magic formula is now called

qemu-system-x86_64 -L .

qemu-system-x86_64 -L . -enable-kvm -k de -smp 2 -m 2048 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -soundhw all -monitor stdio -snapshot -cdrom /media/Distris/bunsenlabs/live-image-amd64-170211-stretch_build.hybrid.iso -name stretch -boot d

However, this is probably not a virtual disk to start over a virtual EFI ...

Works on my system. The only issues that I experienced are post-install and aren't related to EFI.

Mobo & EFI info:
ASUS P8P67 DELUXE BIOS 3602
EFI version 2.31
EFI firmware American Megatrends (rev 4.651)

Many thanks, all, for the feedback.
I've just uploaded a new iso which I think has got rid of that bootup beep.
