Description Tommy He 2010-04-16 09:58:05 UTC
Description of problem:

Command livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --format <ISO_NAME> <USB_DRIVE_NAME> complains about unable to set the boot flag on partition though the partition was shown as bootable (in my locale zh_CN.utf8, it showed as 启动 )in parted.

However, setting LANG to en_US.utf8 makes the process well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
livecd-tools-031-1.fc12.1.i686
in Fedora 13 repo (why it's marked as fc12 ?)

How reproducible:
Download the LiveCD and tried to create it in F13 on locale other than English

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LANG other than English (en_US.utf8), e.g. zh_CN.utf8
2. Install livecd-tools from repo
3. Create the LiveUSB with --format option
  
Actual results:
Unable to proceed due to the boot flag problem.

Expected results:
Being able to create LiveUSB with LANG other than English.

Additional info:

I know it's a trivial problem for English speaking users. But certainly not quite friendly for the users who aren't.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Bruno Wolff III 2010-09-11 18:40:08 UTC
I think there is an upstream fix for this and that you will be able to use livecd-tools 034 to do this. When it becomes availabe, please retest this.
Thanks.
