Can you attach a picture of the screen you are stuck at? I don't know what screen you're talking about. how do i do a screen capture of a boot sequence? With a camera? Created attachment 338104 [details]
the "bullseye"
Created attachment 338106 [details]
the "grub menu" and password prompt
the backgourd box is by itself. when you press enter you are prompted to enter a password (foreground)
re: comment 3 man, that was a no-brainer, eh? i thought you might introduce me to some new pre-X-server screenshot capture technology. but hey, cameras work too. see https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ticket/585 as posted - download and reinstall syslinux after liveusb creator will solve this (checked with ver 3.7.4pre19) i'm think this will be fixed in next version of liveusbcreator Avalone - thanks for pointing that out. It looks very much like what the reporter here is seeing as well. Reassigning. *** Bug 495402 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Will the fix be available before Fedora 11 general release, or should an updated syslinux be pushed to Fedora 9 and 10 to fix it that way? Otherwise, everyone using this nice GUI method to create Fedora 11 LiveUSB media from F9 or F10 will need to employ a manual workaround, which will need to be included in the release notes. Luke -- you probably want to put in something like the bad hack I did in livecd-iso-to-disk.sh to basically copy over the menu files from the host system onto the usb stick as the com32 abi isn't stable apparently. See commit 42233b2d2d6abb722d713e21cdac7d7895b0d623 in the livecd tools repo this is just a dupe of 492370, where the fix is being worked on. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 492370 *** Not a dupe as this is liveusb-creator, not the livecd-iso-to-disk shell script distributed with livecd-tools. Eventually the two will hopefully be one and the same, but we're not there yet eek, sorry, that'll teach me to bugzap with quarter of a brain awake... -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** Bug 496378 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Still a problem with liveusb-creator-3.6.3-1.fc9.noarch. Is there hope of getting this fixed before Fedora 9 is EOL, or should I just update the instructions (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB) to tell people to use livecd-iso-to-disk and avoid liveusb-creator if they are trying to upgrade? (The workaround at https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ticket/585 doesn't work for F9 due to RPM checksum incompatibilities with Rawhide.) This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping (In reply to comment #11) > Luke -- you probably want to put in something like the bad hack I did in > livecd-iso-to-disk.sh to basically copy over the menu files from the host > system onto the usb stick as the com32 abi isn't stable apparently. > > See commit 42233b2d2d6abb722d713e21cdac7d7895b0d623 in the livecd tools repo Thanks Jeremy, I ported your hack to the liveusb-creator. https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/changeset/aff9357adbe48b8212cf4690a6dbea4bec23635c https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/liveusb-creator-3.6.7-1.fc11 is on it's way to testing. The bug report states that F11 live usbs cannot be created under Fedora 10 and 9. Please build the fixed liveusb-creator for these branches as well. TIA. liveusb-creator-3.6.7-1.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update liveusb-creator'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-6344 Fedora 11 Live USBs created on Fedora 11 have always worked, so there is no way to test it. Please fix the bug in the branch it actually exists (I'm aware the release field was wrong at the beginning). liveusb-creator-3.7-1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/liveusb-creator-3.7-1.fc11 This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
