Hello all, I didn't have the greatest first experience with livecd-creator. I had 1.5 GB of diskspace available and I wrongly figured that was enough to make a livecd. That got filled up while trying to make an XFCE livecd using a modified (fixed repo name) ks file from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram/XfceLive and the command: livecd-creator --config=./ks_from_above_site --fslabel=Fedora-livecd-xfce . After downloading the required rpms and installing them in the loopback image, this crashed my Gnome session that was running at the time and hung the system so I ctrl-alt-del to reboot. My system hung while trying to unmount all the loopback filesystems that livecd-creator was keeping busy so I hard rebooted. Now my system does not start the gdm. After it goes though various attempts to start X, it gives up for 2 minutes. In poking around the command line, I can manually startx while the root user and get a normal desktop but not as my normal unprivilaged user. It also seems that while I have space left on the harddrive, it is not being freed up and that might be part of my problem. Even after deleting a few more files, the space doesn't show up as available when I do a df. After booting from a livecd: [root@localhost ~]# fsck /dev/sda2 fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) /1: clean, 291067/31129600 files, 61905503/62257899 blocks [root@localhost ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/livecd-rw 4128448 2170692 1957756 53% / tmpfs 517476 12 517464 1% /dev/shm /dev/sr0 712808 712808 0 100% /mnt/live /dev/sda2 245124236 243714652 0 100% /media/_1 There should be over 1 GB free but it is not showing up. Anyone have an idea what broke? /Mike -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
