changer, please forgive me for asking, but how exactly did you "install" bunsenlabs?
yes, you dd'd it to a usb stick, and you say you installed it, but how exactly did you do that? have you rebooted after the installation, and removed the usb stick?

Can't be too careful.
No, the usb stick is not in I'm booting from a full disk encryption on a raid1 on two harddrives in my machine, which i installed bunsen labs on using the graphical installer from the usb stick. In setting that up i had to copy over the /boot directory to an unencrypted partition. It doesn't seem like that would have resulted in me having /lib/live on my machine, but maybe?

Seems likely doesn't it? If the live files clean-up is expecting certain things to be in certain places.....

Again, I think we need @johnraff for this one. I know the /lib/live directory is supposed to be removed during the installation process and that bl-welcome determines whether it should continue to run by the presence of that directory (IIRC, if you boot into a live session you'll see a flash as a terminal opens and then quickly exits).

It looks like your problems are due to your slightly unconventional partitioning/disk setup. Maybe a screenshot of your partitioning layout in gparted and a description of how your disks are setup will help.

My PCs have always had just one disk and I've always just chosen to mount everything under / during installation, so my knowledge of all this is minimal.

bl-welcome indeed decides if it's running live by the presence of that directory, which has been absent (as I think it's supposed to be) on my installed BL systems.

(IIRC, if you boot into a live session you'll see a flash as a terminal opens and then quickly exits).

Uh-oh that's not actually supposed to happen - the script should do that test before opening the terminal at all. Thanks for the bug-spotting. (Have you noticed that recently?)

I'll need to create a Live USB to test it, and I may be mistaken. It's late here though so I won't do this till tomorrow, hold off on making any changes till then. Thanks!

Negative, clean as a whistle. Must be seeing things. 8o

Well that quick flash of a terminal used to happen, but I'm not sure how many updates ago it was fixed (I think).
