Livecd Disable susped/hibernate
by Williamson Grant 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

In the past on Fedora I disable suspend/hibernate on the livedvd/usb. Does not seem to work for F14. gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/can_hibernate --type bool "0" >/dev/null ||: gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/can_suspend --type bool "0" >/dev/null ||: Looking at gconf I do not see where it should be set, anyone have an idea, thanks.

kickstart changes in F14?
by Valent Turkovic 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Could you please share your kickstart files that you use to create your custom Fedora Remixes version based on Fedora 14? I have some issues with mine. Have some mayor things changed? I used this to create yum .repo files by using echo command in #post but now that fails for some reason. This is how I used to create .repo files: %post # mintMenu repo cat >> /etc/yum.repos.d/mintmenu.repo << EOF [mintMenu] name=mintMenu type=rpm-md baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/unamanic/Fedora_13/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/unamanic/Fedora_13/r… enabled=1 EOF But now that I start livecd I see no custom .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ Any help is very appreciated.

livedvd text install garbage in console
by Williamson Grant 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

I wonder if anyone knows the answer here. Performing a text install from a el6 livedvd, anaconda seems to throw some garbage on the screen. Seems to happen when after the luks password is entered. Has anyone on the list seen something simillar, do I need to switch something off?

[PATCH] F14 livecd-tools: livecd-iso-to-disk with extlinux
by Paul B Schroeder 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

I was trying to use livecd-iso-to-disk to write to an ext partition and ran into issues. It seems that in F14 extlinux will be in the subpackage syslinux-extlinux. And when extlinux runs, it now creates ldlinux.sys instead of extlinux.sys. Here's a couple of simple patches to take care of it..
