I need to use UCK on 12.04. If I use any version of UCK 2.4.6 or UCK 2.2.0, I am getting an error

iso-mount seems to be mounted read-only.

Can some one help to quickly sort this error? I need to use UCK on Lubuntu or Ubuntu 12.04 urgently.

When you get this error? Is it when you mount the Lubuntu or Ubuntu iso? Can you process ignoring this error – Anwar Sep 1 '12 at 5:57
is your ISO on some ntfs drive with read only permission? – Web-E Sep 1 '12 at 7:01
yes when i try to mount the iso it is giving this error. no i caanot process without ignoring this error. – SBarve Sep 1 '12 at 10:49
no iso is not on ntfs. i am trying to mount iso with uck-remaster-unpack-iso as soon as i enter the command with root privileges it throws error Mounting ISO image... mount: warning: ardd/remaster-iso-mount seems to be mounted read-only. – SBarve Sep 1 '12 at 11:01
@SBarve that was a warning, can you proceed ignoring that? – Anwar Sep 1 '12 at 17:43

That is a just warning given by mount when an iso file is mounted.

UCK mounts the Ubuntu iso file in ~/tmp/remaster-iso-mount directory so that directory name is part of the output. You can ignore that warning and you should.

You can verify this by trying to manually mount the Ubuntu iso file. For the time being let's assume the file name is ubuntu.iso and it is in the current directory or home directory. Using this command 

sudo mount ~/ubuntu.iso /mnt

would produce the warning below:

mount: warning: /mnt seems to be mounted read-only.

but when i try to run a command uck-remaster-chroot-rootfs bash ubuntu.iso i am getting an error as "Remastering root directory does not exists" – SBarve Sep 2 '12 at 4:39
@SBarve I used ubuntu.iso as an example, you may not have that file on your home dir. Also you should run uck-gui not uck-remaster-chroot-rootfs because, later command will work only when you did extract the iso, which is done by uck-gui automatically. – Anwar Sep 2 '12 at 7:19
earlier i used to use uck without uck-gui and from command line i used to customize the iso easily. – SBarve Sep 2 '12 at 12:43
I think you should change your ISO file's permissions. – Untitled Oct 31 '12 at 13:12
