the MIB-not-writing-anything-to-flashdrive-problem

[Verplrke]

I'm trying to get livetoflash to work. But I keep getting some kind of fstab-corruption ... The problem has been described multiple times. But nobody seems to have any solution? Is this just an italian hoax or what?

I can get te program to run but it won't do anything but deleting partitions on the flashdrive, creating new ones followed by NOT writing any data to it. It's quite a big problem actually.

Details:

- OS: Mandriva one live cd 2010.2 on Acer Aspire 5920G (can boot from usb with mandriva's seed-tool)
- Trying to install: Mandriva one 2010.2 through Mib on Lacie iamakey 16 gb Fat32

Is this just an italian hoax or what?

Yes, it is.

We italian people use to celebrate carnival by releasing some useless & damaging stuff.
Did you know?

If you have this starting msg, it means your install is not good, or you have somethin wrong

Code: Select all

(zenity:5262): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: cannot connect to the session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

It's clear:
Zenity can't comunicate with the system bus, so the creation of Flash can't happens!
The script continues like a fake work but can't really operate, it doesnt comunicate with HardWare...!

The Reason?
Perhaps something lacking rpm, or misconfigured service, who knows...

In my installed PC, and every PC with 2010.2 I tested, that msg is not present at all

All works properly only if all the installation of 2010.1 is pretty good and well updated:
but we can't be responsible for insuccess operations coming from Your bad installations...

Suggestions?
Which is the PC from where you execute the program?

• It must be a real and phisical hard-disk 2010.2 installation,
  better if from DVD Free or PWP (that are much more complete than Mandriva One)
• no virtual machine like VirtualBox or Vmware
• no live boot from another Mandriva One or MIB
• the flask stick must be 100% Flash type compatible:
  there are many USB Stick models NOT compatible
• parted/libparted must the the most recent

bye, NicCo

I installed the 2010.2 powerpack-version to my harddrive.
Copied the mdv-one-2010.2.iso file to my home-folder.
Installed all available updates.

and keep getting:

I solved it. There was a problem with the filename and filepath cotaning spaces and '-'. Renamed to one.iso and placed in root of usb-stick and it installed succesfully.
