F7 general question about livecd-creator and timezones
by Skunk Worx 01 May '09

01 May '09

My ks scripts have the timezone set to PDT (America/Los_Angeles). Installation to a hard drive works as expected. PDT in startup and in shells, etc. Creating a livecd-creator iso with the same tz setting, then booting, shows A/L_A in the /etc/sysconfig/clock file, as expected. However the date is always EDT in the boot messages, shells, etc. During startup I see : (lvm) Press I to enter interactive startup Setting clock (utc) Mon Jun 4 00:12:59 EDT 2007 (udev) I'm not clear on what is happening between lvm and udev in the Linux startup sequence. If someone could give me a hint about what to look for and where to look for it I would appreciate the help. --- John

liveinst failing on images made with livecd-creator
by Brian Varney 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

I'm having problems getting the liveinst to work with images that I create with livecd-creator. The problem only occurs when I make the livecd iso file. Here's the command I'm using to create the iso. "livecd-creator -c /usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-8-desktop.ks" liveinst works great until the very end when it says "performing post-installation filesystem changes". This step never finishes. It stays on this step forever and I've waited days. When I try to boot to the installed image, I get a grub prompt but no menu options. I've tried liveinst on the same system using a an iso file straight from http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//Fedora-8-Live-i686.torrent and liveinst completes with no issues. Any ideas on how to get some more debug information out of liveinst to see what is going wrong? Thanks for any help, Brian Varney

Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-creator, revisor fail to build a CD

I have the same problem, using Fedora core 8. While attempting to build the minimal livecd, livecd-creator hangs. My Linux box freezes up. If I can log in and get a command window (not always possible) the shutdown command runs for a while but does not complete, so the only solution is to disconnect the power. Tonight I was luckier and I got some control, so I can post some diagnostics. This is a fairly new and clean installation of Fedora core 8 on a Compaq Pentium III box. The only changes I have made is to install livecd-creator and the necessary support stuff. The livecd-creator came from livecd-tools-013-1.fc8.i386.rpm. I am using a local repository - stored on a linux file server on my home network and exported via NFS. (Not enough disk space on my build machine.) I run the command as follows: livecd-creator --config=livecd-fedora-minimal.ks (The control file is shown below.) It hangs after about half an hour. The console shows: 16.22% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:10 2008 24.30% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:08 2008 32.42% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:10 2008 40.50% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:08 2008 48.61% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:10 2008 56.70% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:09 2008 64.81% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:10 2008 72.90% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:09 2008 81.01% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:10 2008 89.09% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:09 2008 97.20% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 31 19:30:10 2008 Total translation table size: 2048 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 1337 Total directory bytes: 4096 Path table size(bytes): 40 Max brk space used 0 61739 extents written (120 MB) Inserting md5sum into iso image... md5 = c0590991a2439b041651cc4afa0d1e09 Inserting fragment md5sums into iso image... fragmd5 = 1716c77e228d4763bd27981c365f48125e7ea77241f7c2ee64bd32db5fc1 frags = 20 Setting supported flag to 0 According to ps, the livecd-creator command is no longer running, but a few other python scripts are: [root@l4l ~]# ps -aef | fgrep live root 6027 5880 0 20:14 pts/3 00:00:00 fgrep live [root@l4l ~]# ps -aef | fgrep python root 1693 1 0 18:10 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/python -E /usr/sbin/setroubleshootd root 2001 1 0 18:10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd root 6031 5880 0 20:15 pts/3 00:00:00 fgrep python There are the latest error messages in the system log: Jan 31 19:21:44 l4l kernel: security: invalidating context unconfined_u:system_r:setrans_t:s0 Jan 31 19:21:44 l4l kernel: security: invalidating context unconfined_u:system_r:inetd_child_t:s0 Jan 31 19:21:44 l4l kernel: security: invalidating context unconfined_u:object_r:policy_config_t:s0 Jan 31 19:21:44 l4l kernel: audispd[1502]: segfault at 1fdd8dac eip 001b16ad esp bfc6c754 error 6 Jan 31 19:24:13 l4l restorecond: Reset file context /etc/mtab: system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 Jan 31 19:30:13 l4l restorecond:last message repeated 2 times Jan 31 19:30:13 l4l kernel: top[2642]: segfault at 0000000c eip 00a3c70c esp bfa9d120 error 6 My control file livecd-fedora-minimal.ks contains lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard uk timezone Europe/London auth --useshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing firewall --disabled part / --size 1024 repo --name=fed8 --baseurl=file:///mnt/fs/livecd.rh8/fedora.rpms repo --name=ext --baseurl=file:///mnt/fs/livecd.rh8/extras %packages @core bash kernel passwd policycoreutils chkconfig authconfig rootfiles %end
