Live iso isn't unmounted after OS install
Last modified: 2016-03-31 13:22:07 UTC
I created a box from the standard Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit live iso. When rebooting the box, the live iso is booted again. The install was successful. I could unmount the iso from virt-manager. After doing this, I was able to run the installed OS from within Boxes. Running iosinfo-detect on the iso gave me: Media is bootable. Media is an installer for OS 'Ubuntu Raring Ringtails' Media is live media for OS 'Ubuntu Raring Ringtails'
I think the actual issue here is that after install, the OS tells you to press Enter to reboot, but pressing Enter in Boxes does not sem to do anything here, and using force-shutdown fools Boxes reboot counting to detect end of install. 12:23 < teuf> aday: did you start the install rlight from the boot menu ? 12:23 < teuf> or did you boot into the livecd and then install from there? 12:23 < aday> i think i tried it both ways 12:23 < teuf> ok 12:24 < teuf> I'll try from the boot menu then 12:24 < teuf> oh the livecd has a 'boot from hard disk' entry which you colud use as a workaround if you only need to boot it a few times 12:44 < teuf> aday: at the end of the install, ubuntu tells you to remove the CD and press Enter, then it will reboot 12:44 < teuf> do you remember if you could successfully press Enter, or if you had to force shutdown the VM ? 12:45 < aday> teuf, on one occasion it got as far as "press enter to eject the cd" (or whatever), but enter didn't do anything, so i had to force shutdown 12:46 < aday> on the other occasion, it didn't get that far - the screen went blank so i had to force shutdown then too 12:46 < teuf> aday: ok I suspect this is the cause of this bug 12:46 < teuf> boxes is probably watching for 'reboot' signals to detect the end of the install 12:47 < teuf> and not looking for 'force-shutdown' signals 12:47 < teuf> in my install, enter didn't work the first time around, so I forced shutdown, and it restarted the installer 12:47 < teuf> then I told him I wanted to try the live system (as opposed to install) 12:47 < teuf> and rebooted from there 12:47 < teuf> 'enter' worked this time 12:48 < teuf> and boxes correctly stopped the installation process this time and booted me into the installed OS
