Created attachment 520690 [details] failure report from liveinst Description of problem: liveinst does not unmount a target USB before trying to install to it in soas-v6 live CD (There is no warning-it just fails) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3301890&name=Fedora-16-Nightly-20110825.14-x86_64-Live-soas.iso How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.start liveinst from sugar root terminal 2.try to install to USB 3. Actual results: see attached failure message Expected results: install Soas to USB with custom / ext4 formatting Additional info: sugar does not show a mounted USB unless one looks at the "frame" where it can be unmounted. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#Install_to_2_GB_USB_HD:
This seems to specific to the Soas Nightly Composes Live TC-Bet_desktop and Live TC-Beta KDE CD's have anaconda unmount the USB's when it starts Easy fix : Hit sugar frame and unmount the target USB before attempting install. (This may be relevant: sugar uses gvfs to see external USB's)
Is this better in F18?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
