Hello Patrick, thank you for taking time!
We use Whonix and just want to help the community by making the Kicksecure ISO with live-build on debian.
So there are many errors…
This happens in chroot stage of live-build.
Simple config:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
lb config noauto
–distribution bullseye
–architectures amd64
–debian-installer live
–debootstrap-options “–include=apt-transport-https,apt-transport-tor,openssl”
–archive-areas “main contrib non-free”
–apt-recommends true
“${@}”
I tried 2 ways.
1.) adding kicksecure repository + key in config/archives and kicksecure-xfce package in config/package-lists.
2.) adding repository via echo and installing kicksecure-xfce as chroot.hook
Both have the same errors unfortunately.

The above errors I am not sure about. The install script probably pipes something to /dev/null, but the permission denied makes no sense to me.

This I understand. Because their is no user account during chroot stage it cannot be added to the groups so root is used instead. I could get around this by adding random user with “adduser username1” and then later using --bootappend-live “…user=username1”
