support for instLangs
by Bryan Kearney 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

This patch adds support for the --instaLangs option to be passed in on the header line. There are 2 issues with it: 1) Currently, pykickstart sets the option to be instLange not instLangs. This patch uses the bad option name. 2) I dont believe that the rpm macros (either _install_langs or _excludedocs) are persisted to the image. Therefore at updat, the space savings is lost. Can I suppose this should be another patch? -- bk

problem with build using current git.
by Jim Gettys 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

I grabbed the git version of the tools, and successfully made a build. But the second and subsequent tries all fail with the following stack trace: [root@penguin build]# ./livecd/tools/livecd-creator /home/build/fedora-xo/olpc-gnome.ks --fslabel=OLPC-livecd Traceback (most recent call last): File "./livecd/tools/livecd-creator", line 136, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "./livecd/tools/livecd-creator", line 81, in main options = parse_options(sys.argv[1:]) File "./livecd/tools/livecd-creator", line 57, in parse_options imgcreate.setup_logging(parser) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setup_logging' Any clue?

Problem with ps/2 mouse
by Mike Martin 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi I am trying to create a custom iso image and I am hitting a problem with ps2 mouse support ie: when I boot from the lise iso (on pen drive if it makes a difference) There is no mouse - on googling this seems a common problem with users and ps2 mouse -but no mention on how to prevent the issue. I have tried selinux on and off using desktop-base unchanged and various other permutations but no joy any ideas

Periodically remastered LiveCDs?
by Mike Perry 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hey guys, I was wondering if there are any plans or existing unofficial torrents that provide remastered "stable" LiveCD images with all the recent updates applied? For example, I've tried out the FC9 LiveCD and my wireless card would not work until I installed the iso to a USB and upgraded my wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager. From googling around, this seemed like a common problem with the early FC9 installs. In general, I've noticed the initial release of many distributions is quite buggy, but that things vastly improve after a couple of months of updates. Is there any reason why remastered updates aren't provided officially? Having a more stable LiveCD will definitely give people a much more favorable opinion of Fedora. Anyways, great work on the LiveCD effort in general. I was really impressed with how easy it was to get the USB stick installed in a non-destructive fashion, even when it contained the very .iso it installed from. Cool stuff! -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
