accessing internet in post section when creating live image
by Vojtěch Polášek 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

Hi, my name is Vojta and I am a blind programmer from Czech Republic. I am trying to create a special live image for blind and visually impaired users. I have experience with kickstarts, this is the project I am trying to turn into live image: https://github.com/vojtapolasek/Fegora In the %post section I try to clone some git repos and build something so that I can later put it on the live image. Is that possible? Because it seems that I can't access the internet within the %post section. Thank you, Vojta

Stuck in a loop with livecd-iso-to-mediums
by Onyeibo Oku 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Greetings, I have a Western Digital USB drive (My Passport 0810, scsi). It has two partitions. I use the first for booting live images of Fedora. The second is a LUKS partition. The partition scheme is GUID. In the past, I was able get ISO images of Fedora into the first partition. Now, I get stuck in a loop. 'livecd-iso-to-mediums fedora.iso /dev/sdc1' tells me that the partition "isn't marked bootable". It suggests 'parted /dev/sdc' to fix it. I follow the instruction with '(parted) toggle 1 boot'. '(parted) print' tells me that the partition now has the following flags: boot, esp I quit parted and run 'livecd-iso-to-mediums fedora.iso /dev/sdc1' again. I get the error message again (i.e. The partition isn't marked bootable!). This is exhausting. Parted recognizes the flags but, for some unexplainable reasons, livecd-iso-to-mediums does not. Can someone offer a solution to this? Regards Onyeibo

Two questions regarding livecd-creator
by Drew Weaver 30 Dec '19

30 Dec '19

Hello everyone and happy new year. I have two questions regarding livecd-creator: When I try to use livecd-creator 27.1 on CentOS 7 1908 it always seems to fail like this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./tools/livecd-creator", line 258, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "./tools/livecd-creator", line 241, in main creator.package(ops=ops) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/creator.py", line 829, in package self._stage_final_image(ops) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 382, in _stage_final_image self.__create_iso(self.__isodir) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 332, in __create_iso if subprocess.call(args) != 0: File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 524, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 711, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1327, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Does anyone know what specifically it's trying to do there? Question 2: When I use the version that is packaged with CentOS 7 (21.4-2.el7) (there is a bug with selinux that prevents you from logging in but I worked around that problem) It creates the ISO, I can convert the ISO to a PXE image and boot a machine from that image. However, once I write about 300MB of data to the / filesystem the filesystem goes read-only even though the filesystem supposedly has 4GB of free space still. The program that I am trying to run inside of my live environment apparently has no way to write data to other paths, so I am sort of stuck. Thanks, -Drew

Kickstarting Fedora xfce 30 Spin
by Stephen M. Wright II 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Has anyone had any success automating the installation of fedora xfce 30. I want to automate the installation of the xfce spin from the live cd. Everything works great with this distribution. I'm installing it so much i need to be able to automate the process. If i try to begin the kickstart process like i normally would with redhat or fedora installation DVD with the options "inst.ks=cdrom:/dev/sr1:/kick.cfg" or something similar it will not run the kickstart process and just start the gui interface. Any help would be appreciated. -- Stephen M.

Introducing mkefiboot (yes, the one from lorax, now available as a standalone tool!)
by Neal Gompa 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

Hey all, So I've been trying to figure out how to support UEFI image builds on non-RH/Fedora systems using livecd-tools for some time now. However, historically, livecd-tools has been tied to Weldr's Lorax[1] for producing UEFI-enabled media. Specifically, the mkefiboot tool shipped in lorax. In order to support this properly on Mageia and other non-RH/Fedora systems that are compatible with livecd-tools, I've split out the mkefiboot tool into its own project as a "friendly fork": https://pagure.io/mkefiboot In case you're wondering, I had tried to avoid doing this. I've been happy with the Lorax team's maintenance of the tool, and I preferred any path that would have let me continue to rely on them for this aspect. I'd briefly discussed with the Lorax folks about having their implementation split out into its own repository, but they were not interested in doing so. Consequently, I started looking into alternatives to resolve the situation, including methods to remove the mkefiboot dependency. Unfortunately, reimplementing the logic would not be fun or desirable. Moreover, I still want to remain broadly compatible with the Weldr team's implementation, especially as they are maintaining it for Red Hat/Fedora systems, which remains an important target to support. So, I split out the code into its own project for usage on systems that aren't Red Hat/Fedora-based. I do not have any intent to package this up for Fedora. This will be landing in Mageia Cauldron and OpenMandriva Cooker shortly, and their livecd-tools packages will no longer block producing images with UEFI support. Now, does this mean I hold any resentment or anger at the Lorax folks? Far from it! The Weldr group is doing some seriously cool things[2], and I look forward to seeing how things progress. For all intents and purpose, I regard the Weldr/Lorax team as the proper upstream. If there are relevant changes to pull in, I'll do my best to incorporate them into this code. However, this is code that doesn't generally change much, so don't be surprised if there isn't much (if any) activity on the codebase. So, does this change anything for the vast majority of livecd-tools users? Nope! But it's another brick on the road toward livecd-tools fully supporting any distribution that uses the DNF package manager.

how did you guys uefi and std boot?
by ToddAndMargo 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Hi All, How did you guys create a live USB that allowed for both standard BIOS and UEFI boot? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you say, "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just stare at you blankly and say, "Hey, I got those with the system, for free." -- Linus Torvalds ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
