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

[Bug 1426560] New: vnc boot fails to find metacity

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1426560 Bug ID: 1426560 Summary: vnc boot fails to find metacity Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Severity: high Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com Reporter: mkolman(a)redhat.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: anaconda-maint-list(a)redhat.com, extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org, g.kaviyarasu(a)hotmail.com, jonathan(a)jonmasters.org, lior3.1415(a)gmail.com, mkolman(a)redhat.com, pbokoc(a)redhat.com, vanmeeuwen+fedora(a)kolabsys.com, vponcova(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Depends On: 1425589 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1425589 +++ Description of problem: Attempting to install Fedora 25 from a live image on a USB flash drive on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60. Wayland can't handle the video card so trying the vnc install. This fails, and running anaconda manually from a command line shows the problem is that the anaconda scripts expect Metacity to be available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-25.20.8 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot live image 2. Switch to console tty and log on 3. Run "anaconda --vnc" Actual results: VNC server starts (can remotely connect to it) but anaconda fails to start (so get blank screen and can't install system) Expected results: Anaconda starts as expected Additional info: --- Additional comment from Lior on 2017-02-21 21:17 CET --- --- Additional comment from Lior on 2017-02-23 09:55:47 CET --- I've now read the anaconda sources and it seems the choice of metacity is hard-coded (see the function doStartupX11Actions()). On the other hand, metacity hasn't been a default OS component for a long time (since the transition from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3). Given that, in my (uneducated) opinion it seems one of the following must be done: 1. Deprecate VNC installation. 2. Have the anaconda-core package depend on the metacity package. 3. Give anaconda a fallback when metacity is unavailable. If I'm totally off the mark I apologize and would love an explanation. --- Additional comment from Martin Kolman on 2017-02-23 10:42:55 CET --- In general it is expected Anaconda will be started as a graphical application in the live environment via a desktop icon or via the liveinst script - using the anaconda command directly might or might not work. But I agree it should provide a better error message/warning in such a case. As for Metacity missing - it's not needed for the expected use case (graphical installation from the live environment), so Metacity and its dependencies are not part of the live image, which can then be smaller. I understand this sucks if the graphical environment does not work in your case, but there is a possible solution - the network installation image: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/Workstation… The netinst image still uses X & Metacity and should have working VNC installation (as the network installation image is the expected usecase for it). You can even tell it to boot directly to VNC installation via boot options: http://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot-options.html#inst-v… --- Additional comment from Lior on 2017-02-23 11:59:20 CET --- Of course I started by trying VNC installation via boot options -- I only used the command directly in order to investigate the problem after the inst.vnc boot option didn't work. Now this use case (appending inst.vnc to the boot options) is specifically suggested by the <A HREF="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Installation_Guide/sect…">Fedora 25 Installation Guide</A>, so I don't think you can fairly dismiss it as "unexpected". I'll try netinst, but I think that either the installation guide needs to be changed to conform to what the LiveCD can do, or the LiveCD needs to be changed so that procedures suggested by the installation guide actually work. --- Additional comment from Lior on 2017-02-23 12:10:18 CET --- For example, the installation guide can say at the beginning of Section 11 that VNC installation is only supported by the netinst image, not by the LiveCD. --- Additional comment from Martin Kolman on 2017-02-24 10:59:55 CET --- (In reply to Lior from comment #5) > For example, the installation guide can say at the beginning of Section 11 > that VNC installation is only supported by the netinst image, not by the > LiveCD. Yes - that really looks like an omission in the docs. I'll clone this bug & assign it to the docs component so it can be fixed.

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?

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.
