For compatibility, a single argument is treated as the kickstart file: https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/blob/master/tools/livecd-creator#L124 Since Fedora Custom isn't quoted, livecd-creator is looking for a kickstart file named 'Custom', which doesn't exist.

livecd-creator is not able to find Kickstart which actually exists
Hi, I am playing around with creating my own live image, and I have come across a rather annoying problem in the livecd-creator script. When I do: livecd-creator --verbose --config=/home/sreyan/kde-flattened.ks --fslabel=Fedora Custom --cache=/home/sreyan/cache/live/ It errors out with : Kickstart file must be provided This makes no sense, since the Kickstart file is where is it is supposed to be: [root@localhost sreyan]# ll total 56 -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 12303 Dec 22 01:49 kde-flattened.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 1382 Dec 22 01:49 fedora-kde-common.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan82 Dec 22 01:42 fedora-kde-minimization.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 10118 Dec 22 01:47 fedora-live-base.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 2375 Dec 22 01:40 fedora-live-kde-base.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 425 Dec 22 01:39 fedora-live-kde.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 235 Dec 22 01:41 fedora-live-minimization.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 291 Dec 22 01:48 fedora-repo.ks -rw-rw-r--. 1 sreyan sreyan 196 Dec 22 01:48 fedora-repo-rawhide.ks Running as root makes no difference, also I have SELinux disabled for the time being so I am sure it's not a security issue.

Fedora has switched to livemedia-creator in f24.
This issue is likely that livecd-creator doesn't understand rpm weak
deps (which is how dnf chooses which of those libraries to install).
I'd suggest going to livemedia-creator, or if you cannot do that there
is a fork of livecd-tools out there thats been ported to python3 and
dnf, and it may handle this case.

fedora create livecd creator fails with LXDE ks, and with package conflicts
Hello,
I am aware that a more appropriate place to post would have been the livecd
list which is archived at
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/liv...@lists.fedoraproject.org/
but since the archives seem to be pure spam for the past two months, I am not
sure if anyone reads it any more.
So, I thought that I would try my luck here.
I have been trying to build the LXDE spin iso using the default Fedora 25
kickstarts available
/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-live-lxde.ks and the dependent kickstart
files. So, I try the following and get:
$sudo setenforce 0
$ sudo livecd-creator --config=fedora-live-lxde.ks --tmpdir=tmp
--fslabel=Fedora-LXDE-25_x86_64
/usr/lib64/python2.7/optparse.py:1013: PendingDeprecationWarning: The KSOption
class is deprecated and will be removed in pykickstart-3. Use the argparse
module instead.
option = self.option_class(*args, **kwargs)
['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '-F', '-L', '_Fedora-LXDE-25_x86_64', '-m', '1', '-b',
'4096', '/dev/loop0']

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/yuminst.py:161:
PendingDeprecationWarning: use len(mi) instead
option = option.replace("$releasever", yum.config._getsysver("/",
("system-release(release)", "redhat-release")))
No such package system-config-network to remove
Error creating Live CD : Failed to build transaction : libcrypt conflicts with
libcrypt-nss-2.24-3.fc25.x86_64
libcrypt-nss conflicts with libcrypt-2.24-3.fc25.x86_64
As we can see, the conflict does not allow for the creation of the LiveCD to
proceed. But this is the vanilla kickstart file for Fedora's LXDE so I was
wondering what was going wrong here?
Thanks very much in anticipation!
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Thanks! That did solve my problem. BTW, do you know is that possible to use grub2-efi instead of grub-efi? If I replaced grub-efi with grub2-efi, livecd-creator just exited with weird messages saying that: warning: filesystem-3-2.fc17.x86_64: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 1aca3465: NOKEY Transaction couldn't start: installing package anaconda-17.29-1.fc17.x86_64 needs 6MB on the / filesystem Error creating Live CD : Unable to install: Could not run transaction.

livecd-creator does not create EFI-enabled iso?
I'd like to use livecd-creator to create an EFI-enabled iso on my Fedora 17 x86-64 machine.

I had a minimal F12 VM lying around, increased the partition size on that and built the live image without problems.

I also found something which could be an alternate explanation. When I look in /var/tmp/, I see the folder mentioned above doesn't exist. Instead there is another folder of a similar name, /var/tmp/imgcreate-yvpmqw. I have a hunch this could be a leftover from the first time the build failed. On doing `mount -l' I see that the install_root under that is still mounted. Trying to umount complains the device is busy. I could try to reboot and build again ... :-\ I will post back whether I succeed after a reboot. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

That may be related to the switch from mkinitrd to dracut. I have been able to build live images on f12, but haven't for a few weeks. (I mostly do this in rawhide now.)

I have received your private reply, and have edited the kickstart file to reserve 3.5 gigs. It starts building but fails during the post installation scripts with this error, IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/tmp/imgcreate-DBVzFU/install_root/boot/initrd-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64.img' I suspect my increased size in the part command wasn't enough.

As I suggested in the private reply, the disk space in the file systems looks good, but you might be running out of space on the image.

livecd-creator failing on F11
Hi Fedorans,
I was trying to build my own 64 bit F12 XFCE LiveCD on my 64 bit F11
machine. I used the kickstarts from spin-kickstarts as my starting
point. All I did was remove some packages and add some of my own.
When I try building it like this is,

This list goes on quite a bit. My disk has plenty of space (50 gigs)
so that's not the problem. Any ideas what this could be?
