[Bug 1358932] New: How to create an USB stick with overlay persistence with graphical tools?
by Red Hat Bugzilla 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1358932 Bug ID: 1358932 Summary: How to create an USB stick with overlay persistence with graphical tools? Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com Reporter: razvan.sandu(a)mobexpert.ro QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Hello, Description of problem: The online guide at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Data_persiste… which is installation-related, describes how to create a Fedora bootable USB stick using the graphical tool liveusb-creator with overlay persistence. However, the current graphical tool available in Fedora (called "Fedora Media Writer") offers no obvious option (button, slider, etc.) for adding an overlay persistence space to the official .iso image. Actual results: The current graphical tool offers no option of adding overlay persistence to an .iso image that is written on an USB stick. Expected results: The tool should offer such an option, in order to easily create USB bootable sticks with persistence. The existing documentation should be consistent with the actual tool. Additional info: IMHO, adopting and documenting a STANDARD set of tools (graphical & CLI), as DISTRO-INDEPENDENT (cross-distro) as possible, for the (easy) creation of bootable USB sticks (including overlay) is the way to go. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installation Guide for Fedora 25 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read page, follow link ... 2. 3. Actual results: Section 10.2, item 4, the example box refers to RFC4758 for details of the arch option. It should be RFC4578. Secondly, section 10.4 item 2, says "Create a boot menu for UEFI cleints at /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux/uefi", but that is a non-existent path/file. I suspect it should be "/var/lib/tftpboot/uefi/grub.cfg", but cannot be sure. Expected results: Correct information.

[Bug 1409148] New: Are we using liveusb-creator or Fedora Media Writer?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409148 Bug ID: 1409148 Summary: Are we using liveusb-creator or Fedora Media Writer? Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com Reporter: puiterwijk(a)redhat.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co In Fedora 25 Install guide (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Installation_Guide/sect…): On Fedora 24 or later, you can download Fedora Image Writer with the command: $ sudo dnf install liveusb-creator You can call Fedora Media Writer by issuing the command: $ sudo liveusb-creator While Media Writer provides liveusb-creator, we might want to provide "dnf install mediawriter". However, that is just a small annoyance, the big painpoint is with "sudo liveusb-creator", which is NOT a binary provided by mediawriter. Which means one has to manually figure out they are supposed to run "sudo mediawriter". Also, do we really want to suggest this method of starting and running? First off, I think GNOME software might have it listed, so mentioning that as the primary method might be more user-friendly? Second, please do not teach people to just randomly slap "sudo" in front of commands. As far as I know, mediawriter can be started as normal user perfectly fine, and it'll ask for permissions as soon as they are needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

It should probably read `append initrd=f25/initrd.img`. * inconsistent use of `linuxefi` vs `kernel`. In the section for the installation of Fedora server, it uses `kernel`, whereas for Workstation, it uses `linuxefi`. One of these is almost certainly an error.

Therefore inst.rescue doesn't apply, and also there is no "Rescue a Fedora System" option on lives. What they can do is include a boot parameter: init=/bin/bash The problem with using rescue.target or emergency.target is Fedora lives don't set a root user password, and systemd requires a root password to use those targets. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/sect… https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/24/html/Installation_Guide/sect… -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
