Hi, created vanilla Fedora 19 Live DVD iso from official kickstart files using livecd-creator.
ISO file builds without issues but when I start it it gets to login window but doesn't do autologin, clicking on "Live User" just restarts login manager...
Did anybody manage to get Fedora 19 spin or remix that works ? Can you share your kickstart?
Is this a know bug?
I'm trying to build one. However, have you tried with other interfaces, like lxde, or kde?

Hi Valent,
I saw this issue when I tried to spin F19 (beta and final) on a F18 installation. As the live cd is a kind of hack, make sure your architecture and installation corresponds to what you are trying to build. Auto Login does not work for the being time, you simply have to click on liveuser to get to the desktop https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854722

Hi, I have tried creating Fedora 19 Live Desktop DVD iso and Fedora 19 Mate Compiz spin and in both "liveuser" autologin doesn't work but clicking in login window on "liveuser" also fails. My guess is that fedora-live-base.ks doesn't even create "liveuser" and that there is some bug there... because otherwise at least manual login via mouse click would work but it doesn't :(
I'll try KDE Games spin that Bruno says work ok and XFCE spin next and report back.
Valent.

I have extracted kickstart files from "fedora-kickstarts-0.19.8-1.fc19.noarch.rpm" and tried xfce with has issue with both autologin and manual login.
sudo livecd-creator -v --logfile=fedora-xfce.log -f Fedora-XFCE-19.0 -c fedora-livecd-xfce.ks --releasever=19
qemu-kvm -m 1024 -cdrom Fedora-XFCE-19.0.iso
A I doing something wrong?
I'm building on F18, thanks for the info. I'll update to F19 and build from there. Usually I had no issues building current Fedora with previous version of Fedora.

As Amit mentioned, are you building these on f18 or f19? You need to be building on f19 for it to work. The no-autologin bug appears to be 18 only, it works in 19 for me.

I've successfully built Gnome and Cinnamon remixes from the latest kickstart versions. Try to clone the kickstarts from https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/spin-kickstarts.git and try again. If the user shows up on the gdm/lightdm screens it has been created, try to update your base (build) distro and set SELinux to permissive and try again. I would advise you check for these lines in your kickstart and make sure they are present:
# make sure to set the right permissions and selinux contexts chown -R liveuser:liveuser /home/liveuser/ restorecon -R /home/liveuser/
I've noted that livemedia-creator is now the preferred way of building live disks but there seems to be far too little documentation about it right now so I'm sticking to the livecd-tools. You can take a look at my remix at http://linuxmauritius.wordpress.com/snowbird-linux/sb-release-19/
@Chris: The auto-login bug seems to be intermittent and related to a race condition in GDM so it doesn't happen all the time, I suspect it could be related the order of the %post commands but I'm not too bothered about it at as I can set it to a timed login and it doesn't hurt to click on the user name :)
Amit
P.S Switch to a shell when you've booted your spin and try to login (as liveuser or root) on the console if you see a message that's related to the user shell and you're logged out immediately (sorry can't remember the exact error message but i've seen this before) then you have an issue with your build machine or SELinux.
I can confirm that now when I switched to F19 I get ISOs that boot into desktop via autologin, so issue was on Fedora 18...

Can you please share your Cinnamon kickstart file? How did you make it so that Cinnamon is the default desktop?
Thanks!

Valent,
I've copied some of the stuff from the post section which you may find useful, just include the ones you need. You should also install the dconf-editor and navigate through the keys to locate the ones you want/need. Hope this helps ...

P.S note that i remove nemo* and use a custom theme/icon in this kickstart.
Yes. they all work but you have to be using Fedora 19.
