F7 general question about livecd-creator and timezones
by Skunk Worx 01 May '09

01 May '09

My ks scripts have the timezone set to PDT (America/Los_Angeles). Installation to a hard drive works as expected. PDT in startup and in shells, etc. Creating a livecd-creator iso with the same tz setting, then booting, shows A/L_A in the /etc/sysconfig/clock file, as expected. However the date is always EDT in the boot messages, shells, etc. During startup I see : (lvm) Press I to enter interactive startup Setting clock (utc) Mon Jun 4 00:12:59 EDT 2007 (udev) I'm not clear on what is happening between lvm and udev in the Linux startup sequence. If someone could give me a hint about what to look for and where to look for it I would appreciate the help. --- John

Customize users of the image Live
by Thiago Braga Santana 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hello to everyone. How can I do for the standard Windows Manager, log on the "root" instead of the user "fedora" in the environment "Live"? How should I proceed to the image LiveCd that I am creating, contains only the user "root"? Thiago Santana

Refactoring livecd-creator and providing an API
by Jeremy Katz 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

It's time to get back to something that's been discussed on and off for a while now and really do it. And that's to refactor out the core of livecd-creator so that it can be used for generating other types of images as well as then providing an API to be used by people wanting to build various types of interfaces on top of the tools. After sitting down and poking a little, I've got something that I'm at least starting to be happy with and figure it's about time to put it up for others to look at and poke at. Right now, the git tree is on fedorapeople rather than in the main repo. You can get it with git clone http://katzj.fedoraproject.org/git/livecd-tools.git I've written up a short overview of the API and included it in the repo and attached it to this message as well. I've tried to keep the amount that we expose pretty minimal so that we can continue to have a fair bit of freedom in changing out the backend bits, especially the ones related to writing out configuration[1] info. Comments and suggestions appreciated, especially from those building on top of livecd-tools or wanting to build other image builders. I'm going to likely go ahead and get this merged within the next week or so as long as it's not entirely crazy. Also, it's pending on splitting up the current __init__ into separate modules to allow for cleaner namespacing Jeremy [1] In the future, this is something that we want to be able to share with anaconda as we're currently doing a lot of duplication of bugfixes and having to deal with slight variations in behavior between the two. Which sucks.

LiveCD arch?
by Gary Thomas 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

I want to build a LiveCD for arch=ppc, but run the build process on arch=ppc64. If my repositories have both flavors of packages, how do I tell livecd-creator to select the ppc packages (rather than the ppc64 ones)?

Help needed running a process at boot time on livecd
by Elias Hunt 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

I'm not sure the specifics of what I'm requesting, so I'll cover what I'm trying to accomplish and see if anyone can help me figure out where to do it. Our use of livecd's is for a custom appliance that stores data on the local drive of a machine, but uses a livecd for the OS. This is to prevent permanent modifications to the OS itself. As part of the livecd setup we have a mount point pre-configured for the hard disk. Everything works perfectly, if the disk is formatted as an ext3 partition. However when setting up a new system or replacing a drive the boot process does the typical "can't mount disk" error and prompts for the admin password. At this point I have to log in and run a script that's on the cd to partition and format the drive, then reboot. What we want to get to is a point where if the booting CD detects an unpartitioned/unformatted drive it will automatically run the script and reboot itself, without requiring a user to log on. This is important in the long run since most of our appliances are run headless. I think this might be something that needs to be in the init process, but my understanding here is limited, and I'm not sure exactly how to determine the state of the drive and make the decision to run the script. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I recognize this isn't exactly appropriate for this list, but I'm hoping someone here will know about this stuff, and can take it offline with me if it's not useful to others here. Thanks. -Eli -- Elias Hunt Systems Engineer M2S, Inc. 12 Commerce Ave. W Lebanon, NH 03784 Ph: 603-298-5509 x365 Fax: 603-298-8816 hunt(a)m2s.com

I'm trying to build a custom CD, using the installed package from F8. I started with the F8 release repository, fiddled a few packages and rebuilt the repodata (using 'createrepo -d') When I run the live CD creator, I get this error: Error creating Live CD : Unable to download from repo : failure: repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 from released: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Livecd-tools and proxy
by Jonathan Roberts 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hey, I'm not certain this is the problem I'm having but: when I run livecd-tools it hangs after "setting intervals between checks to 0 seconds". If I wait long enough I get an error about mirrorlists and repo details not being able to be retrieved, so I'm assuming my problem is with the proxy server I'm behind. The details for the proxy are all set in yum, but does livecd-tools not make use of this? Can anybody help me out a bit with this? Thanks in advance :D Jon

Fwd: Making respins with custom configs and files
by Yaakov Nemoy 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi Lists, I proposed this to a Fedora mailing list last night. Below is a) my initial email, b) kanarip's initial response, and c) my reply to that. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yaakov Nemoy <loupgaroublond(a)gmail.com> Date: Nov 22, 2007 2:51 AM Subject: Making respins with custom configs and files To: fedora-advisory-board(a)redhat.com Hey List, I've come out of my coding ban (till finals are over) to work on a small side project. It's a tool that lets you pick a set of files from a running system, they could be anything, config files, random non-free fonts installed to /usr/share/fonts/, grub splash screens, etc..., and lets you make an RPM out of them. Since some of these files might clash with other packages, it doesn't install them directly to the root, but hidden away in /usr/share. There is a second tool that then deploys these lumps of files. It solves the following use cases: Scenario 1 Tim is a power user. He has a system heavily configured, with a custom set of packages, from five repos, and all sorts of other things he found on online on deviantart. He wants to make a respin of his computer using Revisor, so he can pop a CD in the brand new machine, use it to install Fedora, and be up and running in under 30 minutes. Since a large number of files that are not in his /home partition are just as important still require time setting up, he would rather tell Revisor where to look, and have it copy all these files automatically. He's also given a package full of files that he could drop into a private repo if he ever finds the time to set one up. Scenario 2 Kim is a computer science student. She's been given an assignment that involves a complicated build and runtime environment. In her proprietary-software centric school, ensuring that her code will compile and run cleanly when she submits it for a grade is a huge chore. She would rather give the professors a Live CD saying 'run this', that drops them into a stripped down Gnome environment, with a terminal, and all her programs sitting on the desktop. She gets an A, and her professor starts considering incorporating Linux into the curriculum for its ease of use. Scenario 3 Jim is a technician for Megacorp and is configuring a bunch of machines. He knows how to make RPMs, but it is a lengthy process since he is not familiar with it. He has a set of files he wants to include with every system he configures, that include corporate branding on every spot available. The list of files is large, but the only thing he needs to do is copy them to specific places. He would rather just give a command a list of files that spits out a spec file and a tarball that he can add to an automated system. The packages will then be deployed the next time he schedules an update. Right now, I have two working scripts. There are a couple of minor bugs, and I have some SELinux questions. Is this something people want to see in Fedora 9? Would it be useful to the revisor/respin crowd? Or am I completely off the mark here, and someone has a better idea? Cheers, Yaakov ---------- Kanarip's message ---------- Hi Yaakov, the Fedora Advisory Board may not be the most appropriate list to discuss Fedora 9 or Revisor features, more appropriate maybe is the Revisor development or user discussion list[1], and the fedora-livecd-list[2]. However looking at what it is you are trying to solve, have you tried working with copy_dir maybe? Revisor uses that setting to copy all contents from that location onto the live or installation media. With Live Media these files are copied onto "/" which is to become the root filesystem once you boot up the Live Media, and with Installation Media it copies it into the files/ directory in the tree (so that during the installation you can use it in %post). If this has any short-comings on solving the scenario's you are addressing, please let me know because I think these are perfectly valid use cases. Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip ---------- My reply ---------- I haven't looked at copy_dir, not knowing it existed, but now that I have my code, I feel like I could use something slightly more organized for lack of a better word. If this seems useful, I can try to merge the two feature sets. There are two aspects on each of the last two scenarios that I feel copy_dir doesn't quite handle. It doesn't handle the third scenario at all, where the Technician wants to create a dumb package to include in his private repository. That's a feature that goes beyond just a single respin, and he would prefer to include in multiple respins. In the second scenario, I could imagine a sub scenario where when someone was trying to redeploy those extra files on i slightly different live CD, the Student would want to have a single package as well to remix the LiveCD with. One aspect that's available with my code is the ability to create multiple packages actually that serve different aspects. The best example I can think of offhand is in the second scenario where the Student has to submit two programs. Each 'boost' (boost being the lousy name i thought of) contains the program separately. She can create a LiveCD with both programs for a friend to play with, and a separate CD for each professor. She could even create a Portfolio CD with all of her projects when doing a senior level project, or when putting together a resume. Cheers, Yaakov

unable to create install cd
by Greg Haygood 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hi, all - I've been struggling for a couple weeks now to be build a valid install CD set using revisor, but keep running into the same error. I'm building under F7, trying to build either a CentOS5- or Fedora7-based image. LiveCDs build and work fine, but the install CDs always faill at the same point. I'm using kickstart, but it happens even if I use the regular boot option. The blue screen for anaconda will popup, then I'll get: Running anaconda, the <image> system installer - please wait ... exec of anaconda failed: No such file or directory install exited abnormally [1/1] sending termination signals...done (parition unmounting...) you may safely reboot your system Googling for that exec error suggests that it's a package problem, but (as suggested by one post) even when I bloat up the manifest with every possible anaconda dependency, the error still occurs. It also happens with the stock configs that come with revisor, so it doesn't seem like anything I could've munged. This has been happening for a few weeks now, and still with the 2.0.5-10from rawhide. Anyone have any suggestions for what is going on? Thanks in advance. -- Greg Haygood ghaygood(a)wikidsystems.com

How To Create A Custom Fedora-7-Live-i386 CD?
by Ciba LO 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hello, list users, The current Fedora-7-Live-i386 CD comes with no firmwares in /lib/firmware for some kernel wifi drivers, e.g. rt73usb and bcm43xx. It would be nice to add these firmwares or needed modules in the existing Fedora-7-Live-i386 iso image. How to modify the existing Fedora-7-Live-i386 iso image to build such a custom live cd that can run on any Linux-compatible pc without any installation? Thank you in advance. -- Best regards, Ciba LO <cibalo(a)gmx.co.uk>

if config onboot yes no vs. on off
by Skunk Worx 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Fedora 7 I see livecd-creator writes default ONBOOT=on|off vs. the tried-n-true yes or no to ifcfg-ethX based on the network options in the ks script. But the etc network init script looks for [Nn][Oo] in it's logic. Is this part of the continuing switch over to NetworkManager? This causes me grief because routing can get completely broken if someone happens to plug two live DHCP network cables into a dual port box. I like to configure my bootables so they don't bring up anything but eth0. -- SW

livecd-creator fails with $TMPDIR not in build root

I've been experimenting with livecd-creator and my first run failed because I had TMPDIR=/t/jt7300.Wu7340.

[PATCH] Fix unquoted $(cat ...) in mayflower's big here-doc,
by Jim Meyering 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Hi, I noticed that the following part of the big here-document in creator/mayflower was not backslash-escaped (along with the following two lines): cat > init <<EOF ... if [ -f /etc/fstab ] ; then root=$(cat /etc/fstab | while read d m f o r; do if [ "$m" == "/" ] ; then echo $d; fi; done) So it would end up generating hard-coded bits like this: if [ -f /etc/fstab ] ; then root=dm_multipath [dm_mulipath came from an earlier loop where $m iterated through module names] At first I just fixed that by backslash-quoting things, but then I realized that nothing in that entire here document required expansion, so I've attached a better patch. The patch looks big, but it's largely mechanical: It uses <<'EOF' rather than <<EOF, which saves you the readability and maintenance hassle of backslash-escaping all of the "$" and "`" in the "init" here-doc.

This is absolutely a broken work-in-progress release, and not yet the drop in functional replacement for livecd-tools that it will become (soon...). http://filteredperception.org/smiley/projects/viros/releases The interesting things it has (but again, in no way even a respectable development release), are- * a livecd generation mechanism that runs without root privileges, utilizing qemu * a tool 'smirfgen' which is like mayflower, but much more flexible * a live.init which is like the one embedded in mayflower, but much more flexible. * a tool qfakeroot, which is in the spirit of fakeroot, but can do even more stuff, such as trivially convert a tarball into an ext3 filesystem image, without root priveleges. Again, I don't expect this to be useful for anyone. But since I've alluded to it about half a million times over the past couple years on this list, I figured I'd mention the code availability. In the near future, perhaps before I clean it up to work as a drop in (no-root-privs-required) replacement for livecd-tools, I will try to release a version that can at least trivially modify the official f8-livecd iso image to support liveusb-persistence (again, without requireing root privs, via the coolness that is qfakeroot(&smirfgen). For now, perhaps the most interesting thing to look over, would be how I rewrote the init (tools/ZyX-Live-OS/live.init). And then perhaps look at how I abstracted what mayflower does, into smirfgen, and the tools/ZyX-Live-OS/smirfgen.cfg. And then after that, realize that how those things make qfakeroot possible. And then imagine how qfakeroot could be used to remove all root-priv requirements from the entire fedora recompile process. peace... -jdog P.S.- for the love of democracy, help get Cheney impeached.

liveinst creating wrong partition
by dzho002 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hi folks, I created a Fedora Core 8 live CD using the livecd-creator tool successfully. It boots up fine from a USB pen drive and is able to install to hard drive. But there is a problem with the size of "/" partition (dev/sda2) on the hard disk. The commands df and fdisk report different size. df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 4.0G 2.7G 1.3G 68% / /dev/sda5 26G 209M 24G 1% /var tmpfs 252M 12K 252M 1% /dev/shm fdisk /dev/sda -l Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0005e0df Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux /dev/sda2 26 1299 10233405 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1300 1430 1052257+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 1431 4865 27591637+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1431 4865 27591606 83 Linux I noticed that the layout of my "/" paritition is same as /dev/mapper/livecd-rw on the live image. Looks like liveinst created a wrong partition table somehow when dumping the image to my hard disk. I have not seen this problem before on FC 7. Is this likely a bug with liveinst or livecd-creator? Or I just messed something up. I created the FC8 live cd on a FC7 system. Because I only have 1.9 GB free space after installation, I do not have enough space to create a live CD from the new FC8 system. So during the installation, I created a custom layout that puts /var onto /dev/hda5 (a 24G partition). I thought that would give livecd tool enough temp space to work with. But I got an error like this, Error creating Live CD : Unable to install: [('installing package glibc-common-2.7-2 needs 33MB on the /var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root filesystem', (9, '/var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root', 33722368L)), ('installing package gnome-backgrounds-2.20.0-1.fc8 needs 34MB on the /var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root filesystem', (9, '/var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root', 35389440L)), ('installing package rt73usb-firmware-1.8-4 needs 34MB on the /var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root filesystem', (9, '/var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root', 35401728L)), ('installing package words-3.0-12.fc7 needs 39MB on the /var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root filesystem', (9, '/var/tmp/livecd-creator-jrowT1/install_root', 40628224L)), .... .... ....

Some of those size are nonsense to me, e.g., system-config-boot-0.2.17-1.fc8 needs 1823MB??? Can anyone explain what went wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Install from a Live CD iso/tree?
by Philip Rhoades 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

People, On the main Fedora list there is a post saying that a minimum install CD set is 3 - would it be possible to boot from CD1 and finish the install from a Live CD tree on another drive? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades Pricom Pty Limited (ACN 003 252 275 ABN 91 003 252 275) GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia Fax: +61:(0)2-8221-9599 E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

Creating a DVD
by Asheesh Laroia 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

I've read through http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD as well as http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/LiveCDHowTo and http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fedora-livecd/index.h… , and all of these refer to being able to create a CD or DVD. I have created a Fedora Live CD successfully. As I understand it, creating a CD generates a single file with an ISO9660 filesystem on it, and perhaps other metadata necessary so that burning it to a CD makes that CD bootable. My question is, to generate a DVD, do I do something different? Or do I just generate an enormous "bootable CD" and burn that to DVD media? Thanks, all! -- Asheesh. -- You should avoid hedging, at least that's what I think.

I urgently need your help in Fedora LiveCD.
by Thiago Braga Santana 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Hi, Fedora-live-list. Sorry to ask directly to you, but I asked some questions to the Fedora Project group, with no succesfull answer. http://www.fedora.org.br/fortopic7100.html My name is Thiago Santana and I doing a derivative of Fedora LiveCD for a Point of Sale application. I need to understand a little bit of the Ramdrive conceptual framework used by you in 'Fedora 7 LiveCD'. There is a file system mounted on the root directory ("/"). How the system is it able to distinguish the files and programs previously recorded on the CD image from files and programs created by me? If I understand correctly, some files are stored in RAM, but I didn't get how the file system manages the available storage space. I want to know how to calculate the RAM space I need for my files. Furthermore, it appears to be that when I open some file from the image for editing, the full contents of the file is copied to RAM. Is that the case? If it is so, what happens if I open a great number of files? I will be waiting for your response. Thank advance your information. My best regards, Thiago Santana
