Hi.
I just want to ask how do you think about this question: Will it be anyhow possible to create an _official_ version of a kde livecd for test3? If Max's proposal [1] should come true (and assuming that nobody else is working on this that I am not aware of) we really _need_ at least two test versions.
With the last changes to livecd-creator I was able to create a working (and installable) livecd for kde (read: working for me). I think it would be essentially to get some some feedback. ATM the feedback could be much better. Sure: I have some issues that could be done better or that are not working at the moment. But for a test1 of a kde-livecd this should be ok.
The current kickstart file for F7-Test3-KDE is attached. If you want to create this, have a look at the wiki [2]. Also the current package list must be discussed [3].
Some comments about the kickstart file:
# create /etc/sysconfig/desktop (needed for installation) cat > /etc/sysconfig/desktop <<EOF DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" EOF
Due to a bug in anaconda [4] (should be fixed in cvs but haven't tried it yet) KDE is not the standard desktop after an installation. It must be choosed manually after first boot.
# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/zz-liveinst.sh is confusing kde on login # so remove it for now rm -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/zz-liveinst.sh
current version breaks livecd-login [5]. This must also be done after installation. So this is just a workaround for this. Just as this one:
# workaround to put liveinst on desktop (should not be needed but # /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/zz-liveinst from anaconda doesn't do this atm) cat > /home/fedora/.kde/Autostart/liveinst <<END #! /bin/bash cp /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop /home/fedora/Desktop/ sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/' /home/fedora/Desktop/liveinst.desktop END
chmod +x /home/fedora/.kde/Autostart/liveinst
If somebody knows a better solution to get an icon for liveinst on the desktop: Please let me know!
And also there is the earlier mentioned issue:
- minor issue: messagebus complains about an username "gdm"
And for the moment (until kdenetwork is splitted up): - on laptops kwifimanager is also started (besides knetworkmanager)
At this point I really want to thank David Zeuthen and especially Jeremy Katz for their great help and their fast responses to my mails and bug reports.
