BTW, I've just tested the multibootusb 8.8.0-1 again and I can select ISO's just fine. To be clear, that's without dbus-x11, it's compiled with dbus from core. @Angel_Caido, have you tested the dbus-x11 requirement yourself? I'm guessing that there are other differences between sundar_ima's and my system that prevents him from using multibootusb compiled with dbus from core. Can anyone else please test too?

lightdot commented on 2017-05-29 10:38 (UTC)

The new dependency conflicts one of the core packages. Is this approach absolutely necessary? dbus-x11 and dbus are in conflict (libdbus). Remove dbus? [y/N] I don't think the AUR version is offering quite the same level of quality and support. The dbus-x11 version remains at 1.10.14-1 while dbus is at 1.10.18-1, so the former has missed the last two or three upgrades already. IMHO, many users will refrain from using multibususb from AUR due to this.

First of all: Apologies for the delay. Work keeps me away from the things I like to do. Dependency "dbus-x11" has been added. Please, keep us posted of how this package behaves in your system.

"dbus-x11" is absolute necessary. Otherwise, multibootusb may start but you wont be able to choose ISOs. Tested personally and submitted the reply here...

Bumped to version 8.8.0. "dbus-x11" was left out because it required 'dbus' to be removed. If absolutely necesary I will include it as a dependency.

@Angel_Caido, See the link to same issue you have reported here https://github.com/mbusb/multibootusb/issues/164. Solution is also available.

@Angel_Caido, It looks like you have multicard/multiUSB hub reader which is causing the application to crash. Somehow, udev is able to detect this multicard/multiUSB hub reader as block device. Remove all other USB devices and insert USB disk directly in to your system for testing. I think it should work. This issue will be fixed in next upstream release. But still I think you should update to the latest release of upstream which is why the aur is meant for. At lease you will get to know from other users and accordingly downgrade to whatever working version. Thanks.

"I have a composite USB device." What does this mean? Have you connected any of the USB hub in your PC? what does your terminal say when issuing dmesg, ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/, ls -l /dev/sd* and lsblk commands? Are you able to see your USB disk number which multibootusb is refering to?

I have a composite USB device. The drive that multiboot is refering to does not even exist. Is one of the "ports" of such composite USB device but it is unused. As you can see at the last line, the previous error still ocurrs: /usr/sbin/multibootusb-pkexec: line 22: 4785 Aborted (core dumped) pkexec --disable-internal-agent "/usr/bin/multibootusb" "$@" The content of the PKGBUILD is as follow [in case I forgot to include something]: # Contributor: Jonas Heinrich <onny@project-insanity.org> # Former Maintainer: sundar_ima <feedback.multibootusb@gmail.com> # Maintainer: Angel_Caido <geussepe at gmail dot com>> pkgname=multibootusb pkgver=8.8.0 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Boot multiple live Linux distros from a usb flash drive." arch=("any") url="http://multibootusb.org" license=("GPL") #depends=("python-pyudev" "python-pyqt5" "pyqt5-common" "python-dbus" "mtools" "util-linux" "parted" "p7zip" "python-six" ) depends=("python-pyqt5" "pyqt5-common" "python-dbus" "mtools" "util-linux" "parted" "p7zip" "python-six" "python-pyudev") sha512sums=("585bb8a4641535f1811e7a48d4e0bab3353ae8f8e4ca319dcbfd8b45b474927b341a52d4eaee3c3587af657231d861fa5977b49cf000b9f878b601748efd87cc") source=("https://github.com/mbusb/$pkgname/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz") package () { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver" chmod 755 "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/data/multibootusb.desktop" python3 setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1 }

@Angel_Caido, That means some issue is there with the software and not the package. Similar issue was reported by another user on github. It is being investigated. Is the same problem happen with other USB drive as well?
