F7 general question about livecd-creator and timezones

by Skunk Worx

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

French fr_FR LiveCD spins

by Nicolas Chauvet

Hello! Here are the french ks for localized LiveCD spins. The current problem with adding dictionaries and man-pages is that they are disabled in the included ks. (-man-pages-* etc ) So I expect it would be easier to have an "international - offical" ks that would allow us to add this kind of packages; without having theses packages removed first. Or the other way would be to have a +man-pages-fr to override the removal directive. The %__install_lang_macro seems really interesting for localization works. It will save around 200Mo from a liveCD/USB spin. and will make the KDE Live spin ... a "potential" LiveCD spin. Everything is already available from Fedora. The packages just need to use the %find_lang macro from the spec file. Only cups and NetworkManager-openvpn (for what i've noticed) doesn't seems compatible and will install all langs... Cups will probably not been fixed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448549 Network-Manager-openvpn https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448551 The testing LiveCD french spins are here (with additionals packages ). http://rpms.kwizart.net/fedora/9/ISO/ and the ks used to generated them: http://rpms.kwizart.net/fedora/9/ISO/ks/livecd-fedora-9-french-20080604-k...

livecd-creator problem during enforcing

by Warren Togami

Hi Eric, <warren> jeremy: btw, any idea why if I create a livecd while enforcing, the resulting image when booted cannot do /bin/su? Permission denied <warren> jeremy: F9 host, F9 target image <warren> jeremy: it seems fine if I setenforce 0 before livecd-creator <jeremy> warren: with f9 updates? if so, I *thought* all of the selinux userspace bits for enforcing had been pushed. but I didn't keep that close of an eye on them. eparis would be the one to ask Currently if I make a LiveCD of F9 + updates on a F9 host, livecd-creator seems to succeed. But if I boot that live image, I am unable to run /bin/su because of a denied permission. setenforce 0 prior to livecd-creator creates a working image. Are we missing bits pushed to F9 updates that would allow enforcing to be enabled and to create a valid LiveCD image? Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

Attention Spin Maintainers

by Jeroen van Meeuwen

Spin Maintainers, may I please have your attention. To be included in the Fedora 10 release cycle, you'll need a Feature page in category ProposedFeature (and change that to the ProposedFeatureF10 category when you feel the Spin Concept is ready for actual inclusion). This page should be ready (eg. prepared) before the Alpha freeze. The Feature Page for that spin should have a short description of the spin concept, it's target audience, any notes you want to write down on why it is you do foo or bar. It should also contain a link to the kickstart, but since a mailing list is still pending, I suggest you email it to fedora-livecd-list(a)redhat.com. The Spin SIG picks it up, does a technical review, and sends you the OK or comments. If the Spin SIG approves, your kickstart will be added to the GIT repository for the appropriate branch(es). At this point, it'll be forced to use "generic-logos", still. The Spin SIG will work with you to fit in the kickstart into the pool, get some things right or more right, and while you -by then at least-, should also have commit "access to the GIT repository"[1], the spin concept will continue it's path to the Board for trademark approval. Make sure that before this happens, you have some kind of strong argument in favor of the spin so they just can't say no. It makes all our lives easier ;-) Once you're kickstart (spin concept) has the almighty Board trademark approval stamp, we change "generic-logos" back to "fedora-logos". The kickstart should be built upon fedora-live-base.ks in the spin-kickstarts repository at: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git This GIT repository has several branches: master, and a very distinctive branch for each live release of Fedora out there. Naturally, the master branch is where development goes against rawhide, and the release specific branches is where you have a chance to maintain your spin concept for the duration of the lifecycle of that release. Basing on fedora-live-base.ks may be deferred from such as with the Electronic Lab DVD spin: it bases itself on the KDE CD spin so that minimal overhead in duplicate configuration and scripts is accomplished. You may do the same; as long as you make sure you tell us in your Feature page or technical review request. And if you don't tell us in your Feature page, I'll read it from the kickstart anyway. For now, you are requested to start filling out your spin's Feature page, get them to the Spin SIG (members are on [2]), request access to the gitspin-kickstarts group[1] in FAS, and start composing every two weeks or so, to verify rawhide hasn't changed too much. To watch commits to the spin-kickstarts GIT repository, subscribe to the spin-kickstarts-commits list[3] I'd love to see you all come back to me in the next week or so ;-) Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/gitspin-kickstarts [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins (members, guidelines, DOs and DONTs) [3] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/spin-kickstarts-commits

syslinux fails to create "ldlinux.sys"

by Ebbe Hansen

Need help to determine why "syslinux" fails to write to USB-drive. The trace below indicates that everything works fine until the very end! The call: "syslinux -d syslinux /dev/sdb1" results in error: syslinux: failed to create ldlinux.sys See below for details! Previous "livecd-iso-to-disk" worked OK - something must have changed on latest Fedora9-KDE load (downloaded on 7-18-08) or on my "setup" has changed. Is there a way to request diagnostics from the "syslinux" utility?

[PATCH] first extend yum's exclude setting

by Jeroen van Meeuwen

First extending yum's exclude setting with packages excluded from the compose in the kickstart package manifest helps in group selection (see also #456882), since @core has a mandatory package called "fedora-logos". Although livecd-tools already removes the packages (after package and group selection) in the excluded list, I think this is cleaner as not even dependency resolving will know about the package explicitly excluded (and the package is thus not pulled in accidently, afterwards). Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip

installation of livecd fails

by El Kindi REZIG

Hello, I have some problems installing my live-cd onto the disk, the installation process hangs in the post installation stage, I have no idea of what went wrong, the partition is ext3 and I tried to install a livecd that I downloaded, and it was installed properly, however I can't install the livecds I'm making using livecd creator. A lot of people face this problem, but apparently the solution isn't provided. Best regards --------------------------------- Envoyé avec Yahoo! Mail. Une boite mail plus intelligente.

fsck errors

by Miner, Jonathan W (US SSA)

Hi - Just started using livecd-creator (Fedora 9; livecd-tools.i386 017.1-1.fc9) and I seem to have a problem with files that I create during the %post phase not appearing on the CD. If I review the output of the livecd-creator command, I see messages similar to: | umount: /disk0/scratch/imgcreate-RK0UU5/install_root: device is busy | ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy and | e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) | Fedora-9-Gateway: recovering journal | Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes | Inode 18 has illegal block(s). Clear? yes | Illegal block #0 (811008) in inode 18. CLEARED. | Inode 18, i_blocks is 24, should be 16. Fix? yes | Inode 19 has illegal block(s). Clear? yes etc... I've fsck'ed a lot of drives during my career, and this does not look good. Maybe related is that after several builds my disk fills up, and the numbers from df and du don't match, suggesting that there are open files that are being deleted, and not released back into the free list: | # df -k /disk0 | Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on | /dev/sda7 16876496 9157472 6847904 58% /disk0 | # du -sk /disk0 | 3940940 /disk0 Any ideas... is any of this normal? What can I do to debug this?
