Installing SUSE Imagewriter on Linux Mint Debian Edition

The original title for this post is "Installing SUSE Imagewriter on Ubuntu LTS".



Download Zip, save to preferred directory:~/Downloads


However due to data loss of the blog, i decide to rewrite this article using Linux Mint Debian Edition ( a similar distribution to Ubuntu).

First we have to download the source from Github (https://github.com/openSUSE/imagewriter)


Download ZIP, save to preferred directory: ~/Downloads

Extract imagewriter-master.zip in /home/username/Downloads and in terminal run the command:
cd /home/username/Downloads/imagewriter-master

Install the latest version of qt4-qmake and libqt4-dev by running:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev



Instructions for Linux Installation on github


Follow the instructions in README.md by running the command:
qmake DEFINES=USEHAL imagewriter.pro 

Follow by the command:

qmake DEFINES=USEUDISKS imagewriter.pro 





Next run the command:



qmake DEFINES=USEUDISKS2 imagewriter.pro



The following warning message can be safely ignored for the qmake commands:

/home/username/Downloads/imagewriter-master/imagewriter.pro:87: Unescaped backslashes are deprecated



NB: It is a harmless warning that the syntax used is not modern enough.



Run the command: make 



to recompile SUSE Imagewriter 



Finally, run the command:

sudo make install 



to install SUSE Imagewriter.


While running the command make, there may be missing packages. Troubleshoot the error messages by installing the missing packages using apt-get or your preferred package manager.



To give permission to run SUSE Imagewriter as Superuser,run the following command:


sudo xhost +SI:localuser:root

Congratulations! Start SUSE Imagewriter to burn .iso images to USB devices by running the command:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 imagewriter

Fixing time on sysvinit and systemd




























 If you have a system that boot using different GNU/Linux init systems such as sysvinit (aka System 5) and systemd (aka System 500) in addition to proprietary Windows system, you may face incorrect time display on one of the aforementioned system. The difference in time display is dependent on the time difference of your location and the UTC time. Further complication may result from concept like Daylight Saving Time (DST).   If the Bios is set to localtime, you may fix it in systemd boot system using 'timedatectl' command like:  sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1   However, if you are using sysvinit and Bios is using localtime, you can set inform the system that local time is being used using 'hwclock' command like:  sudo hwclock --localtime   or to synchronize the hardware clock with system time and inform the system using:  sudo hwclock --systohc --localtime   If Bios is using UTC time, you may revert the change with 'timedatectl' like:  sudo timedatectl set-lo
