livemedia-creator help
 

Hello:

I am trying to use 'livemedia-creator' to build live images using the
command line:

# livemedia-creator --make-iso --ks fedora-livemedia.ks --iso /tmp/netinst.iso

Which ends with:

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to:
/run/user/gene/keyring-60f8kj/pkcs11: No such file or directory
WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'

Starting install...

ERROR internal error process exited while connecting to monitor:

Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start
LiveOS-27e73b13-3bfd-4e22-bb30-a67f272f063c
otherwise, please restart your installation.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/livemedia-creator", line 708, in <module>
virtio_port = log_monitor.port )
File "/usr/sbin/livemedia-creator", line 355, in __init__
raise Exception("Problem starting virtual install")


I am trying to do this in a VM, and i have tried to increase the RAM
by --ram 1200 (total RAM given to the VM is 1.7G), but it still
doesn't proceed.

Has anyone else succeeded using it in a VM or, should i go for bare metal?

Many thanks.
-Amit

Hey, I'm glad to see someone is giving it a try!

I have no idea if virt is supposed to work recursively, so either it
doesn't or you don't have it setup correctly.

You are also going to hit memory problems, the default setting is to
use 1G so with the overhead of the running OS and qemu you are going to
need more than 1.2G

The primary way to use lmc is on bare-metal with virt. If that isn't an
option then you can run it with --no-virt (as long as you have anaconda
installed on the host) and it will use anaconda's image install mode.

I DO NOT recommend doing this on a host that has data you care about. It
is possible that you could hit a bug and wipe the host. So if you want
to use --no-virt I would recommend doing that inside a F17 virt.

Thank you for your reply. I went ahead and tried this on bare metal.
It seemed to progress fine, but it ended with errors. I have pasted
the log here: https://gist.github.com/2791384

I have disabled SElinux. I hope there is something which can be fixed at my end.

Thanks a lot.

I also keep getting errors such as a package missing/unable to open,
which I have to manually "Retry" which sometimes succeeded, but
finally on my another try just could not retrieve the package. [1] and
hence I had to abort the install.

Just FYI, I am attempting to build a i686 image and have modified the
url --url field in the KS file accordingly.

One possible case maybe your repodata is not generated correctly or missing, I would start debugging here, did you tried running yum in another console? something like yum info <pkgname>?
