[Bug 1358932] New: How to create an USB stick with overlay persistence with graphical tools?
by Red Hat Bugzilla 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1358932 Bug ID: 1358932 Summary: How to create an USB stick with overlay persistence with graphical tools? Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com Reporter: razvan.sandu(a)mobexpert.ro QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Hello, Description of problem: The online guide at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Data_persiste… which is installation-related, describes how to create a Fedora bootable USB stick using the graphical tool liveusb-creator with overlay persistence. However, the current graphical tool available in Fedora (called "Fedora Media Writer") offers no obvious option (button, slider, etc.) for adding an overlay persistence space to the official .iso image. Actual results: The current graphical tool offers no option of adding overlay persistence to an .iso image that is written on an USB stick. Expected results: The tool should offer such an option, in order to easily create USB bootable sticks with persistence. The existing documentation should be consistent with the actual tool. Additional info: IMHO, adopting and documenting a STANDARD set of tools (graphical & CLI), as DISTRO-INDEPENDENT (cross-distro) as possible, for the (easy) creation of bootable USB sticks (including overlay) is the way to go. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

It would be better to be explicit, saying something like Use the dd utility to write the image onto the USB drive.

Therefore inst.rescue doesn't apply, and also there is no "Rescue a Fedora System" option on lives. What they can do is include a boot parameter: init=/bin/bash The problem with using rescue.target or emergency.target is Fedora lives don't set a root user password, and systemd requires a root password to use those targets. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/sect… https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/24/html/Installation_Guide/sect… -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

[Bug 1354201] New: SUSE Studio ImageWriter probably shouldn' t be recommended

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1354201 Bug ID: 1354201 Summary: SUSE Studio ImageWriter probably shouldn't be recommended Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Description of problem: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/24/html/Installation_Guide/sect… Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 23 Fedora 24 Actual results: Docs says "Download and run the SUSE Studio ImageWriter or Rawrite32." The ImageWriter link URL is https://github.com/downloads/openSUSE/kiwi/ImageWriter.exe The problems are: - I can't verify the provenance of the binary downloaded from that link. I get 404 errors when I try to get to each parent directory, so I have no idea what this binary really is, who produced it, how old it is, what version it is, etc. I think recommending users download an almost random binary on Windows of all OS's probably isn't good advice. - openSUSE considers ImageWriter unmaintained. "We used to have SUSE Studio ImageWriter compiled for windows, but this is not maintained anymore." https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Create_a_Live_USB_stick_using_Windows And they point to a different URL for that project than we do, which hasn't had a pull request or issue responded to in over a year. Nevertheless the code there is probably newer than the binary we're offering to download. http://www.github.com/openSUSE/imagewriter Expected results: Let's just recommend Rawrite32, it's recently updated and it looks like the binaries are signed. http://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/ Additional info: -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

[Bug 1318103] New: LiveUSB Creator as primary downloadable

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1318103 Bug ID: 1318103 Summary: LiveUSB Creator as primary downloadable Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Description of problem: Currently LiveUSB Creator is not mentioned at all in official documentation for any platform. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/sect… First, the two Windows platform recommendations in the documentation are odd because they're neither created nor tested within Fedora. Second, Live USB Creator is planned to be the primary/most prominent download method for Fedora 24 for Fedora (maybe other Linux distros as well), Windows, and possibly OS X if it arrives in time. So documentation should be updated to reflect this.
