Description of problem: Install to Hard Drive missing from KDE version of Fedora 7 Test #4 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7 Test #4 Live CD- KDE How reproducible: Every single .iso version I've downloaded through the mirrors. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download .iso for Test #4 Live CD 2. Burn .iso 3. Leave in drive and reboot 4. try to figure out where the installer is on reboot. 5: Realize the install to hard drive is missing and anaconda won't run. Actual results: No installation of KDE Live CD. Expected results: Was hoping to install from KDE Live CD. Can't stand gnome. Additional info: I apologize if this bug report comes off as a bit... jerkish. I'm just trying to figure out how the install feature could have been left out of the KDE version.
This comes up fine here -- are you logging in as the fedora user for the live CD?
Have the same problem if I choose a language in the login screen: No shortcut to the install program. OK if I log directly without choosing any language: In that case I find the Install shortcut onto my desktop
The file /home/fedora/Desktop/liveinst.desktop should be placed there during the login. If you login as root it would be hidden (KDE seems to don't like "NoDisplay=true" in liveinst.desktop. This is replaced by "NoDisplay=false" for User "fedora"). /home/fedora/Desktop/liveinst.desktop should be definetily there. You should at least see it in a terminal with "ls /home/fedora/Desktop"
I made a new test. I choosed the French language in the login screen. Then I put that language as default in the popup window asking if the language is just for that session or by default. After login I confirm that the Icon is not displayed on the desktop. The file liveinst.desktop exists but is in the folder /home/fedora/Bureau/ (and not /home/fedora/Desktop/) You will notice that 'Bureau' is the French translation of 'Desktop'. Surprisingly, If I move the file liveinst.desktop in the right folder (/home/fedora/Desktop/), I still don't see the icon on the desktop.
Ah, only English works atm, we need to integrate xdg-user-dirs. This is a kde-specific issue then (not really livecd)... I'll re-assign this in a bit, when I figure out where best to put it.
For the final we will use kdm with autologin. So this problem would not occur. Also I replaced "NoDisplay=true" with "NoDisplay=False" in /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop directly. So if someone boot with "live_locale=<locale>" there would be at least a icon in the menu.
Sebastian, has all the changes required to fix this problem already been committed and tested? What's the status?
(In reply to comment #7) > Sebastian, has all the changes required to fix this problem already been > committed and tested? What's the status? I've committed the changes described in comment #6 before I wrote that comment. But the main problem here is that the integration of xdg-user-dirs needs some love (see comment #5). So maybe I should re-assign this to Rex and/or Than?
Oh. Just to make this clear: My changes are for livecd-fedora-kde.ks (for the livecd), not for kdebase or xdg-user-dirs.
Reassigning to kde-settings, removing FC7Blocker (since we don't non-English atm anyway)
* Tue May 15 2007 Rex Dieter <rdieter[AT]fedoraproject.org> 3.5-24 ... - kdeglobals: xdg-user-dirs integration: Desktop, Documents (#238371) Basic/initial integration, inserting into kdeglobals: [Paths] Desktop[$e]=$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP) Documents[$e]=$(xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS) So that the output of the following now match: kde-config --userpath desktop = xdg-user-dir DESKTOP kde-config --userpath document = xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS Now, we can do likewise for multimedia app configs wrt to XDG_MUSIC_DIR, XDG_PICTURES_DIR, XDG_VIDEOS_DIR
