I haven't seen that, but I probably haven't done exactly what
you do.
Do you mean that you've done something pretty close to what I do and
haven't seen it? In particular, are you building F11 live cds?
Do you see the hang with a 100% plain F11 build with a ks from
spin-kickstarts?
Yes, with updates
Without updates?
Trying that now, but will take some time to download the release rpms.
You attached some ks files. Which change from the standard made a
difference?
Including updates can be the only thing making a difference. No other
changes.
Exactly how do you run livecd-iso-to-disk? Which overlays do you
create?
Are they blank when you start?
livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --noverify --overlay-size-mb 900
--home-size-mb 1024 --unencrypted-home $ISOFILE $DRV
Yes, the overlays are blank on bootup.
You log in as liveuser (without password) and expect to get the gdm
login prompt again after log out (i.e. you are not shutting down)?
Yes. But it is certainly nothing to do with that particular user or the
autologin. I first noticed this with the exam USB sticks I was creating,
where there was no autologin, and a password. Same thing. I tried
gradually undoing my changes from the standard F11, and discovered that
it happened even on the standard one.
Is ctrl-alt-f2 working? Is caps lock toggling as usual?
Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesn't work, and nor does the power button (other than by
holding it in). Good Q about caps lock. I suspect the answer is no, but
I'll find out. The machine I'm sitting at at the moment doesn't have
LEDs.
Are any liveuser processes hanging? What happens if you kill them (or
just the X server)?
Don't know how to tell if they're hanging. I tried killing gnome-session
but it made no odds. There are lots of liveuser processes... not sure
which other ones to try killing.
