Installing the new snapshot package alone was not enough. I also had to remove the microcode package. Now it creates the ISO!
Thanks again

After a comparison, I installed zip and dpkg-repack and tried again. Here are the last lines of the refractasnapshot.log:

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
cpio: Vorzeitiges Ende des Archivs
+ exit_code=2
+ '[' 2 -ne 0 ']'
+ cpio -i
cpio: kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin nicht erzeugt: Neuere oder gleich alte Version existiert schon
151 Blöcke
+ xzcat
+ cpio -i
xzcat: (stdin): Dateiformat nicht erkannt
cpio: Vorzeitiges Ende des Archivs
+ exit_code=2
+ '[' 2 -ne 0 ']'
+ echo 'Decompression error'
+ exit 1

genisoimage was wrong, xorriso is used
Thanks for the help, beautiful Sunday

Hello
I suspected that the Daedalus system created via the upgrade from Chimaera was causing the error somewhere. I'm not concerned with a backup, but with having a customized (programs, appearance) live system to install. That's why I invested some time, downloaded the daedalus-desktop.iso, installed it instead of the upgrade and customized it.
Now I have a new problem:
refracta-snapshot ends where mksquasfs should start. The data is present in the work/iso/isolinux and work/iso/live folders, as is the file system in the work/myfs folder.
sqashfstools, genisoimage and resolfconf are installed. There is no error message, the .conf is unchanged.
What can be the cause of this error?

Thanks for the reply.
The libs mentioned are all available. Boot Menu: An error occurs while checking the boot command. After calling up an entry with TAB, it appears twice below. When attempting to edit it, further repetitions of the command appear, editing impossible. You come back with ESC. This behavior occurs with all boot menu entries.
I still have a working USB stick with chimaera. At that time I also changed the first boot menu entry to de_DE. This stick works and boot commands can also be edited there. If I compare the generated live.cfg files on both USB sticks, they are readable, then I don't see any differences apart from the distro name.
By the way, the line with the reference to TAB and e is also missing at the bottom of the incorrect boot menu. Where is the mistake?

Hello,
I created an ISO with Refracta Snapshot and transferred it to the USB stick with dd. Since the copied system is set to de_DE, I also set the first boot menu entry to de_DE in /usr/lib/refractasnapshot/iso/isolinux/live.cfg.
The live system starts from the stick and the keyboard works in the Grub menu. However, neither the keyboard nor the mouse can be used in graphics mode.
What could that be about? Hardware is identical. System is daedalus, upgraded from chimaera.

I am familiar with the configuration of CUPS via http://localhost:631/admin and I also use it.
But...
there are a few people I have installed Devuan for. I chose Devuan because I don't like systemd and because I liked the option of dist-upgrade and have now also used it when upgrading to daedalus. It worked great on two computers.
The system-config-printer tool is what the normal user is offered in the menu. And that’s where the above-mentioned questions came from. I hope someone in the forum can answer it.

Hello
The printer tool system-config.printer starts on my laptop with MX Linux without lock. Can you set it up like this in Devuan? If so, how does it work?
I would also like to turn off the "Discovered Printers" function, but the check mark appears again and so network printers are always displayed twice.
Will there be a better tool in the future?
