livecd-tools build pushed

[Jeremy Katz]

I've pushed a build of current git of livecd-tools into rawhide so that
it can start to get some more testing beyond those of us who are using
git.  While I don't know of anything big and looming as far as changes
to the API, I reserve the right to change it until we're a lot closer to
finished with Fedora 9.

Now that it's pushed out, though, there are three more things that I
want to get into the tree feature-wise for Fedora 9 (and thus, over the
next couple of weeks) and otherwise, just focus on finding and fixing up
any latent bugs

1) Get Rich's patch from yesterday/today in.  I mostly just didn't want
to rock the boat since I was pretty comfortable with things as they were
but should just be a matter of me doing the commit
2) Get dmc's bits for persistence in
3) Get some of Luke's work for allowing livecd-iso-to-disk to also be
useful on Windows (and have a GUI) into the main livecd repo.  This is
perhaps a little more controversial, but I really don't see the value of
maintaining this elsewhere and having two of these scripts.  Other
opinions welcome, though.

I'm trying to use it on F-8 but getting:

Error creating Live CD : Failed to find package 'gv' : No package(s) 
available to install

Is there any reason to expect that it wouldn't work with the yum in F-8?

livecd-tools build failed

[jie sun]

Hi,
   I am trying to use livecd-creator to build a fc7 live cd but it always failed with the
following message:

  Installing: hal                          ##################### [191/194] 
  Installing: grub                         ##################### [192/194] 
  Installing: kudzu                        ##################### [193/194] 
  Installing: redhat-artwork               ##################### [194/194] 
Building an initramfs at /boot/livecd-initramfs.img for kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
FATAL: Module ide_cd not found.
FATAL: Module usbhid not found.
Done; initramfs is 4.2M.

Error creating Live CD : syslinux not installed :
/var/tmp/livecd-creator-lHNeK2/install_root/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin not found


Does anyone has any idea?  I tried using
livecd-tools-009-3.fc7.noarch.rpm 
livecd-tools-009-1.fc7.noarch.rpm 
livecd-tools-008-1.fc7.noarch.rpm 
livecd-tools-007-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
All the same error.
Even the following sample command failed.
 livecd-creator --config=/usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks


But when I try livecd-creator with my own ks file on FC8, it success.

Looks like livecd-tools in fc7 is not working.

Jie Sun

Nothing I know of, but I also haven't had a chance to try it out on F8.
Are you running on an Fedora 8 host or building a Fedora 8 image?  That
looks like a config just specifying a package which isn't there and so
it (correctly) failing

Hi Jeremy,
   I got the same error  message while using livecd-creator to create a live cd on fc7. I
wonder if this issue has been fixed in fc7?   llivecd-creator works fine in fc8.

Regards,
Jie

No, the messages are misleading... I thought I had killed them off, but
apparently not.  Patches accepted or I'll get there eventually :-)
