Description of Problem: if you start qmkbootdisk as normal user you may think it actually created a bootdisk Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdeadmin-2.2.2-2 How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch qmkbootdisk as user 2. select device and kernel 3. click ok Actual Results: you don't get any boot disk and no error messages or warnings at all Expected Results: either a request for root password (like many other tools) or a message saying the bootdisk couldn't be created Additional Information: if you start qmkbootdisk in a shell you actually get a "Cannot find root partition in /etc/fstab" message. What if you start it from Gnome/KDE panel? there's no warning there... just an 100% ok which makes you think the floppy is created
I guess this is due to the use of labels rather than devices in fstab. Probably it should be linked against console-helper.
I'm not sure about it, since if you run it in a root shell it does exactly what you expect.
it needs console-helper.It's fixed in rawhide.
