Hi.
I just want to ask how do you think about this question: Will it be
anyhow possible to create an _official_ version of a kde livecd for
test3? If Max's proposal [1] should come true (and assuming that nobody
else is working on this that I am not aware of) we really _need_ at
least two test versions.
With the last changes to livecd-creator I was able to create a
working (and installable) livecd for kde (read: working for me). I think
it would be essentially to get some some feedback. ATM the feedback
could be much better. Sure: I have some issues that could be done
better or that are not working at the moment. But for a test1 of a
kde-livecd this should be ok.
The current kickstart file for F7-Test3-KDE is attached. If you want to
create this, have a look at the wiki [2]. Also the current package list
must be discussed [3].
Some comments about the kickstart file:
# create /etc/sysconfig/desktop (needed for installation)
cat > /etc/sysconfig/desktop <<EOF
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
EOF
Due to a bug in anaconda [4] (should be fixed in cvs but haven't tried
it yet) KDE is not the standard desktop after an installation. It must
be choosed manually after first boot.
# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/zz-liveinst.sh is confusing kde on login
# so remove it for now
rm -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/zz-liveinst.sh
current version breaks livecd-login [5]. This must also be done
after installation. So this is just a workaround for this. Just
as this one:
# workaround to put liveinst on desktop (should not be needed but
# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/zz-liveinst from anaconda doesn't do this
atm)
cat > /home/fedora/.kde/Autostart/liveinst <<END
#! /bin/bash
cp /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop /home/fedora/Desktop/
sed -i
's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/' /home/fedora/Desktop/liveinst.desktop
END
chmod +x /home/fedora/.kde/Autostart/liveinst
If somebody knows a better solution to get an icon for liveinst on the
desktop: Please let me know!
And also there is the earlier mentioned issue:
- minor issue: messagebus complains about an username "gdm"
And for the moment (until kdenetwork is splitted up):
- on laptops kwifimanager is also started (besides knetworkmanager)
At this point I really want to thank David Zeuthen and especially
Jeremy Katz for their great help and their fast responses to my mails
and bug reports.
