Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] [ANNOUNCE] ZyX-LiveInstaller-0.1.1

2009-07-14 Thread Douglas McClendon
FYI, a 0.1.3 release is now available which fixed/workedaround a problem 
with pre-first-reboot hibernation.  Likewise I put up a proposed feature 
page, and started a related thread over on fedora-devel.


http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RebootlessInstaller

There are even links to a pair of youtube videos demonstrating the user 
experience of rebootless installation with a stock f11-i686 liveusb onto 
an acer aspire one netbook.


Future announcements will be made on website's news/front page, so I 
won't spam here.

Read all about it here, with full screenshot tour, src and binary rpms, 
online browsable source tree, and beginnings of a FAQ.

All you should need to test out, is a system whose disk data you don't 
care about, a stock f11 i686 livecd or liveusb, and an internet 
connection.  Boot up, fire up firefox, go to that url, install by 
clicking the rpm link, and run the new desktop icon/launcher.  If all 
goes well, you should be able to eject the livecd or remove the liveusb 
without powering down, and go about your business.  Not to mention you 
could have been going about your business while the install was 
happening, and every change made to the filesystem even as you are 
installing, gets live migrated to the target disk partitions.


Comments, feedback, bugs, and review will be greatly appreciated.

peace...

[Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-creator creates ISO without /home

2009-07-14 Thread Martin Dengler
Hi,

I'm getting a .ISO without a /home despite the filesystem rpm being
installed, and I'd really appreciate any tips on debugging this or
hints as to how this might happen.

This is with the example .ks and I can get livecd-creator to work on a
number of other machines.  If I chroot and install the same filesystem
rpm again (--force of course, since it's already installed), I do get
a /home.

I'm running:

$ setarch i586 sudo livecd-creator --skip-compression --cache=../cache
-t /home/mtd/xo-soas/images -c
/usr/share/doc/livecd-tools-024/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks

on a machine like:

# uname -r
Linux benderxxx 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:27:08
EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and I'm getting a filesystem like:

http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/livecd.ext3_listing

The output of the livecd-creator command is:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/livecd.buildlog

Any help much appreciated.

Martin

Any SELinux errors?

These don't look like SELinux errors but they look like something
security-related:

 These don't look like SELinux errors but they look like something
 security-related:

Those messages are far later (and not abnormal, although authconfig
makes them look a little scary).  The fact that groups aren't existing
early in the install after the setup package has been installed is the
more concerning part of the log to me.  Which has usually only happened
if SELinux is denying things.

So checking for AVCs with ausearch -m avc would be very helfpul
