    Hello,

    This is my first posting to the boards. I did some searching in the boards and online in general, but didn't really see anything that matched up with the help i needed. My situation is as follows:

    My Desktop support team uses an Ubuntu based utility distro in the field for disk rescue, backups, etc... What i am attempting to do is integrate the "Ghost" linux tool (the ghost32.exe for windows equivalent) into the distro so we can also use te distro to image machines.

    Linux Distro details: lubuntu 12.4 - lightweight ubuntu variant

    Actions taken:

    • The utilities from the linux.tar folder have been extracted to /bin
    • CHMOD 755 has been run on all 5 files
    • in doing dsome digging i found that in Tiny Core Linux build, swap space had to be turned off (nozswap), I believe i disabled swap space properly in the ubuntu distribution i am working with (sudo swapoff -a)

    The result:

    running "sudo ghost" in the terminal launches the ghost program, but gives an error citing that "an internal inconsistency has been detected." at which point it quits. and outputs a ghosterr.txt file.

    I have attempted to dig through the ghosterr.txt and determine what the issue might be, but, its really not clear to me.

    I am attaching the ghosterr.txt file to this posting.

    Just to clarify the end result I am looking for:

    I wish to incorporate the Linux ghost executable (equivalent to the ghost32.exe for windows) into a live distribution in use already. The base of the distro is Lubuntu (ubuntu variant) 12.4.

    I suspect you will need to raise a call with support to get an answer to this. Ghost ceased active development some years ago, so I suspect that support for the most recent linux distros is not going to be available.
