Error in recipe st-image-resize-initrd while building openstlinux-5.4-dunfell-mp1-20-06-24

Hello,

I always get following error while building openstlinux-5.4-dunfell-mp1-20-06-24:

Why is `update-desktop-database` command not found? How can I solve this?

Many thanks.

Dear @mleo ,

dear @ArmandG ,

good news, the problem is probably solved. Well, maybe the solution is quiet strange, but I cannot explain it to myself otherwise.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 at my company. There are some "internet restrictions" like proxy, firewall, etc. At my company I can't build the yocto image.

So I took my business PC home with me and started building the image with no restrictions on internet. And suddenly the yocto build went fine. Same PC, software, versions, ... only another internet connection.

During yocto build at my company I sometimes had problems fetching some packages. But with a simple `bitbake -c fetch <recipe>` I got all the packages. Don't know the correlation between intercept scripts and internet.

But it doesn't matter, the build went fine (multiple times in /home and /mnt directory).

Many thanks for your fast community help!!!

Kind regards

Dmn

Hi @DmnSd ,

For the command not found error, does the "desktop-file-utils" package is install on your machine ?

Best regards,

@DmnSd ,

In order to make sure no packages needed are missing, may I ask you to try to download again extra packages in 3.2 section ?

Hi @DmnSd ,

Just to be sure, could you check result of command:

whereis update-desktop-database

You should see:

update-desktop-database: /usr/bin/update-desktop-database /usr/share/man/man1/update-desktop-database.1.gz

Best regards,

Milan

Hi @mleo

that's exactly what I see.

$ whereis update-desktop-database
update-desktop-database: /usr/bin/update-desktop-database /usr/share/man/man1/update-desktop-database.1.gz

I started a completely new build and noticed this message:

This is the full context:

$ bitbake -k st-image-weston

maybe that has something to do with the problem?

mleo · ‎2020-08-12

Hi @DmnSd ,

The message "ENABLE_PARTITIONS_IMAGE not enabled" is unexpected. Have you manipulated any config file before running the build?

What linux do you use? Is it recommended Ubuntu 18.04? There might some incompatibilities - e.g. in python version.

One more question. I noticed in the original question that you run the build on mounted driver " /mnt/data/dist-pack/ ". Probably not related, but could you try to run it on local drive?
