Well, for multiple reasons :

First : the kernel image process uses live build scripts that are obsolete on Ubuntu 16.04 so it crashes all the time because of invalid dependencies problems (those scripts needs packages from Debian that are not available on Ubuntu) ... so it was just headaches

Second : sorry to say that but the live build process documentation is pretty partial and based on situation where "it works" but outside that scope a lot of things "just don't work" and there are many forks for the setup scripts from many users so to be honest ... this is a bit messy and since there is nothing in the repo but everything in personnal github here and there, it was just to complicated

Third : I wanted to report things and help in building a nice TCE builder process but I wanted to base this on Ubuntu and not Debian and I also wanted to understand what was under the hood so I did it myself and to my surprise, it was not that complicated and works pretty well (until this dual head problem) for then report things and help.

I'll give a try to the built images.

Walid Moghrabi

Why didn't you report your issues with the current build process in a 
bug or on the list so we have a chance to improve our build 
process/documentation?

We already do. Our images are hosted at 

http://x2go.baur-itcs.de/ 

and I'm actually working on a new build of the stable image for a 
customer, so expect a new upload in the next few days.
