when trying to customize my ubuntu desktop live iso i'm coming across an rsync error in the first stages of the tutorial.

when I execute:
sudo rsync --exclude=/casper/filesystem.squashfs -a mnt/ extract-cd
The copy starts with no output. I left this running for around 40 minutes and have assumed that something went wrong in the copy.
sudo rsync -ax mnt/ extract-cd I tried this command too and I got the same error after pressing ctrl+c.

This is the error I am getting:

    rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(549) [sender=3.0.9]

any suggestions/tips would be welcome

Edit

This is the link to the output from the command you suggested I run:rsync output

I looked at your recommendation of using ubuntu-builder. I am using ssh to access the computer with no possibility of using an UI.

I tried the ubuntu customization kit this morning running the by running the uck-remaster-unpack-iso. My understandinf of this command is that it runs a script similar to what I was typing in by hand. This command also stops producing output and I exited it after 10 minutes(No error output was given).

The error is simply caused by your pressing Ctrl+C to interrupt rsync.

The command should work; since it's not, please try running this and let us know what the output is:

sudo rsync --exclude=/casper/filesystem.squashfs -a -nPh mnt/ extract-cd

The only difference is the additional -nPh option: - -n indicates a dry run, or a simulation; rsync will simulate what happens, including any errors, without actually copying any data. - -Ph shows the progress file-by-file in "human" readable (i.e. kilobytes, megabytes, etc.) form.

Please note: The Ubuntu customization wiki is terribly outdated. I highly recommend usin a more modern, user-friendly customization solution that takes care of extracting, mounting, chrooting, etc. for you.

Ubuntu Builder is my tool of choice. Please see this answer of mine for a more-hands-on tutorial of using Ubuntu Builder to customize 12.04.

After installed below packages, the problem solved.

sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11

sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11:i386

I believe I found the problem, There is another problem on my computer causing very low write speeds to ntfs. Therefore When I tried to run rsync the copy simply would not complete in a feasible amount of time.
