Copying live image to hard drive takes too long!

[taytong888]

Hello,

I lost Gnome desktop of FC13Beta so I have to re-install it on my desktop PC. Did all partitioning and formatting in advance via Gparted Live CD. I set up a 500 MB boot partition (ext3) for GRUB, a 14 GB root partition (ext4) and a 15 GB home partition (ext4). During installation, copying live image to the hard drive initially was fast but then the installation seems to stop 3/4 of the way through and everything is now frozen. I am waiting for installation to complete. By the way, I just saw an orange icon on the top bar but I cannot know what it says because the mouse is frozen at the moment.

Please help me! Installation of FC used to be easy. This is the third time this evening I am having to re-install FC13 Beta.

Thanks in advance for your help.

:confused:

Hello taytong888:

And welcome to the Forum.

All F13 Development release issues belong in the "F13 Development" section, so I have moved this thread to that section.

Good Luck,

Hi,

Problem was due to SELinux preventing /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon "getattr" access to ?LiveOS/ext3fs.img, whose original default label "default_t" was somehow changed. I logged in as Live user in order to install FC to hard drive. SELinux should NOT have been installed by default!

Anyway,I solved the problem by disabling SELinux and hitting the "RESTORECONTEXT" button at the base of the SELinux alert message a few times.
