Rajesh,

Thanks for including the output in the bug report.

Your screenshot seems to show that you have successfully entered chroot.

Are you experiencing this issue ~after~ you type exit?

The correct behavior should be that, if you type exit <Enter>, then Cubic should automatically ~reenter~ the chroot environment. Is this where it is failing?

Analysis notes...

ISSUE #1
--------

Since Eoan is beta right now, the vmlinuz and initrd files located inside the compressed linux file system (squashfs) are borken symlinks to files that do not exist.

<Cubic Project>/squashfs-root/boot $ ls -la

    initrd.img -> initrd.img-5.0.0-20-generic
    initrd.img.old -> initrd.img-5.0.0-20-generic

    vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-5.0.0-20-generic
    vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-5.0.0-20-generic

ISSUE #2
--------

Since Eoan is beta right now, trying to read the initrd file located in...

    <Cubic Project>/custom-live-iso/casper

...results in the error...

    cpio: premature end of archive

As a result, the initrd version can not be identified.

RESOLUTION
----------

Both of these issues will most likely be fixed in the final release of Eoan.

Nevertheless, it would be good if Cubic could be made more robust in order to allow users to test and customize the pre-release version of Ubuntu.

To achieve this, the algorithm used to match the vmlinuz and initrd files needs to be modified. For issue #1, we need to check if vmlinuz and initrd are valid files, excluding broken symlinks. For issue #2, we could use a fallback that assumes the vmlinuz and initrd files are matching versions, if these files are in the same directory, if one of them has a valid version, and if there is only one vmliniz and only one initrd file in the directory. Also, investigate why the /custom-live-iso/casper/initrd file is not readable.
