iLife Support 9.04

[ndpete]

I’d try a build with the 10.6.3 disc. From what I’ve read in other posts and such it seems like a 10.6.3 is recommended. I’d been building with a 10.6 disk as well but I ran into some new computers and such that wouldn’t boot with a 10.6 disc so I finally made the switch to 10.6.3

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: ndpete[/u][p]Post your logs and let us look through them. Also which Install disc are your running from? 10.6 or 10.6.3? I also made a switch from a 10.6 install disc to 10.6.3. not sure if that would affect it much it might!

Edit:
Other things i did was completely delete instadmg. Checked out a fresh version from svn. Re-imported Install disc. Also Re-checked sum my iLife package and the update package. Might help…[/p][/QUOTE]

Here is my package.log: http://pastebin.com/V0GCk0p1

Nope, retail 10.6.3 disc did not work. Everything installed correctly, but you still have to manually run “Software Updates” to install “iLife Support 9.0.4”.

This is crazy.

That’s really strange. Just today I downloaded the latest build using a 10.6.3 retail disk. I included iLife 09 and Support 9.04 installed fine. Even manually ran Software Update and it showed up clean.

For people it works for, they really need to post their catalog file. Brigandy, post your catalog file as well so we can see which order the updates are in. I *know* it can be done (I have an image that doesn’t require 9.0.4 upon first boot). It has to come down to the order in which things are installed.

I tried endless to copy my catalog files but to no avail (forum detects it as spam). But based on what I’m seeing, it looks like I’m installing the iLife Support 9.04 update (comes in the 10.6 vanilla catalog) BEFORE iLife 09 is installed (included in the iLife09_update catalog). But like I said, when I boot into the image, and manually run Software Update, I get nothing showing up.

Here are my Catalogs that worked

10.6_Vanilla [url]http://pastebin.com/qq2pzFQR[/url]
iLife with Updates [url]http://pastebin.com/EQ90D68u[/url]

It gets installed with vanilla and then reinstalled after iLife installs…I’m not sure but you can probably comment out the vanilla one…

Hi Guys,

I’m having this same problem. I’m starting with a 10.6.0 retail disc and here are my catalogs (top down – each one includes the one below it):

I’ve literally tried putting that iLife Support package in all different locations throughout the build. I started with before iLife, then directly after iLife, and now, as a last resort, I put it at the end right before the create admin user package.

Upon boot, iLife Support still shows in software update.

This is really odd – I wonder what’s different for those of us having the problem?

Aha – ndpete mentioned not running it on the server version of OS X. That seemed to be the problem. I ported the InstaDMG folder over to a client mac and built the image there and sure enough, iLife Support was baked in. Glad that’s taken care of…

This is why we cannot stress enough that you should not build images on the server OS. It does funky things.

Time to suck it up. I just ran a new build with 10.6.5 and iLife 9.0.4 shows up in Software Updates (DOH!). I hadn’t run a build since 10.6.4, but I thought I had…soooooooooo….yea. Sorry guys 🙁 Thankfully, munki can install this at first boot for me, So that is what I plan on doing.
