How do I read a Blue Tooth keyboard?
by ToddAndMargo 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hi All, My current favorite ISO is Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso which does boot from UEFI. And, it boots from Apple MAC's if you hold down the "option" key (not the flower key) when it is booting. This will give you the choice of what boot device. Problem: MAC's use an Artsy-Fartsy blue tooth keyboard (that is absolutely miserable to type on) that attaches through Blue Tooth. So only the mouse works. How do I get the keyboard to mount if I can only use the mouse? -T

UEFI

Hello I have a x86_64 iso file containing a livecd image created with livecd-creator, Fedora 22. To copy this image to an USB stick, I use the following command: livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi <imgfile.iso> /dev/sdc I get an error: /dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000200 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 5 4 /dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0xf0fffe00 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 5 4 /dev/sdc: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (PMBR): 55 aa /dev/sdc: calling ioctl to re-read partition table: Suksess Waiting for devices to settle... mkfs.fat 3.0.27 (2014-11-12) [168286.777930] sdc: sdc1 ERROR: This live image does not support EFI booting What's supposed to be wrong with the immage? I have an image created in April 2015, Fedora 20 or 21 that works with the same command. Thanks and regards, Lars

Can I write to an ISO with this?

Hi All, livecd-tools-20.1-3.el7.nux.x86_64 Is there a way to get the following to write to an ISO instead of a device? (It would make it a lot easier to test with KVM.) I am drawing a blank with the man page. # livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --delete-home --home-size-mb 4095 --overlay-size-mb 4095 --unencrypted-home Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso /dev/sdc Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

Hi All, Is there a way to get livecd-iso-to-disk --format to format in ext4, instead of fat16? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sinkin' EUFI
by ToddAndMargo 12 Mar '16

Hi All, I can not get my live USB, or CD's for that matter, to boot with stinkin' EUFI bioses. Typically, I can go into bios and set it to boot "legacy", but not on some computers. Some computer so restrict the heck out of what you can configure that yo can not turn on legacy mode. The last one just had legacy mode grayed out. How do you guys handle the issue?
