Hm, interesting. Can you tell me more about this vm? is it 32bit, 64bit? Is it a variant of ubuntu such as lubuntu or mint?
Also, what is the contents of /etc/customizer.conf right now, in this broken state?
This is what mine looks like:
https://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-core/blob/master/buildscripts/xenial/customizer-mini.conf
https://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-core/blob/master/buildscripts/xenial/customizer-rebuild.conf

Hello @kamilion I experience the same behavior on 64 bit Xubuntu 16.04.

No problems arise during building the deb package or it's installation (though I needed to install python-pyqt5 (for building) and isolinux (for installation of the package) in addition to the packages listed at https://github.com/kamilion/customizer/wiki/First-guide).

This i what happens when I want to run customizer-gui:

~ » sudo customizer-gui
Read Configuration file: /etc/customizer.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/customizer-gui", line 29, in <module>
    import lib.config as config
  File "/usr/share/customizer/lib/config.py", line 45, in <module>
    KERNEL = '{}'.format(conf.get('saved', 'KERNEL', fallback='default'))
TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'fallback'

The contents of /etc/customizer.conf are:

# NOTES:
#
# The paths to files should include quotes otherwise if some
# special characters or spaces are included actions will fail!
#
# Changing the WORK_DIR while in the middle of customization
# process is a very bad idea! Clean and do it after that.

Can I provide you further information? My standard Python version is Python 2.7.12

Thanks for your answer!

I ran nto the same problem and solved it by changing to python3.

The fallback argument to get() is python3 specific, see https://docs.python.org/2/library/configparser.html#ConfigParser.ConfigParser.get vs https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html#configparser.ConfigParser.get.

I was using commit 562164c

[ChaoticSlacker]

Guran, what do you mean you solved it by changing to python3? Which installation method did you use? Following the first guide page I do not see an option to change to python3. Did you mean that you cloned the git and ran the installer.py program with python3?

[Guran]

@ChaoticSlacker Yes I cloned the git repo. I used 562164c as it was the tip at that moment. I did not use installer.py, instead running the makefile directly. In makefile there is a variable PYTHON = python2 and a comment saying it can be changed to python3. Changing to python3 fixed this issue for me but I got other errors later. I'm at another computer atm so can't say exactly what error I got.

I ended up using the 4.1.4 release and that worked for me using make && make install, Maybe I needed to install some packages, but it was fairly straightforward from what I remember.

Just ran into the same issue... :( tried @Guran sugestion but I got this when trying to run sudo customizer-gui:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/customizer-gui", line 29, in <module> import lib.config as config File "/usr/share/customizer/lib/config.py", line 46, in <module> PURGE_KERNEL = '{}'.format(conf.get('saved', 'PURGE_KERNEL', fallback=True)) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 797, in get d) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 393, in before_get self._interpolate_some(parser, option, L, value, section, defaults, 1) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 410, in _interpolate_some p = rest.find("%")
Using Ubuntu 17.04, and trying to build my LXQt remix.

[kamilion]

This seems to be occurring because PURGE_KERNEL isn't being populated in the config file, and I'm still tracking down why it isn't being added, but I have a couple ideas.

Workaround's simple:

KERNEL = default
PURGE_KERNEL = True

Add this to your /etc/customizer.conf under [preferences] and [saved].

Pretty sure the problem was introduced around
8245740
and
61da86a

Also, you can provide a kernel package name instead of 'default', like

KERNEL = linux-signed-image-generic-hwe-16.04
PURGE_KERNEL = False

Hi kamilion. I have the same error message even after editing the customizer.conf file. Any solution? Thanks!

[superjamie]

It seems this was introduced by bf33d66

This works fine:

git checkout bf33d661~1
make deb
sudo dpkg -i ../customizer*.deb
sudo customizer-gui

Hi! I have the same problem on 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04

after the comand 'customizer-gui':

> * Read Configuration file: /etc/customizer.conf
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/sbin/customizer-gui", line 29, in <module>
>     import lib.config as config

>     KERNEL = '{}'.format(conf.get('saved', 'KERNEL', fallback='default'))
> TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'fallback'

the /etc/customizer.conf file contains:

[preferences]
WORK_DIR = /home/customizer
LOCALES = C
RESOLUTION = 800x600
COMPRESSION = gzip
VRAM = 256

[saved]
ISO = 
DEB = 
HOOK = 

Is there any solution for this?
I have tried to modify the file and change the version of python but I have not worked for me

[kooczan]

I've got the same problem:

Read Configuration file: /etc/customizer.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/customizer-gui", line 29, in

File "/usr/share/customizer/lib/config.py", line 45, in

TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'fallback'

We are impatiently waiting for solution of this issue...

It works in my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Thanks for @superjamie. Comment: #171 (comment)

[superjamie]

That just checks out an old version before this bug occurs. The idea of my post was to show the author the regression point.

[kamilion]

just a reminder, make PYTHON=python3 PYQT=5; sudo make install to move up to the same code on the modern interpreter and library versions.

Running python3 installer.py will also deal with it.

Havn't tested make PYTHON=python3 PYQT=5 deb myself.

Reopen the issue if I didn't fix it, I'll give it another shot.
For whatever reason, github hasn't been sending me notifications lately.

[superjamie]

Confirmed fixed here, thank you so much!

make PYTHON=python3 PYQT=5 deb works fine too.

[kamilion]

@superjamie Does the .deb have the correct dependencies?

[kamilion]

Looks like it does not have py3/qt5 dependencies declared, due to debian/control.
Guess that's the next thing to resolve, getting the makefile to reach in and flip between py2/3 and pyqt4/5.
The errors spewed from the changelog's formatting should be gone now during make deb.
