How Do I Install Integration Services on Fedora Linux Distribution?
Question

Here is the excerpt from the list of errors I get when running ./install.sh bash script on either edition of Fedora starting from 14 though the latest 17 release (haven't tried on the unsupported R18):
The PDF "Linux Integration Services v3.3 Read Me" Guide that comes with Integration Services distribution gives to information about what rpm package should be used when the ./install.sh failed to work.
Honestly, I find the guide incomplete.
Guidance to mount cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /media
is quite okay although even myself I know how to mount devices in Linux being an absolute layman in Linux.
I'd rather be interested in how do I use another rpm package. But I don't event know how does one package differ from another. There's no information provided in this guide!
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

IMHO, Bug 883005 is minor issue related *-netinstall.iso ( in *LiveCD*.iso mouse work as need )

To All : please help me with communication with Fedora Development team

De-facto Bug 883005 is well-known problem Mouse Integration in Linux guest
-- Sub-problem N1
Ok, as temporary solution do this:
mouse work in Linux Guest without "MS Vmbus HID-compliant Mouse", if connect to it from Windows _directly_
http://vvm.blog.tut.by/2011/02/22/hyper-v_mouse_in_linux/
==
. . .
Without "Microsoft Vmbus HID-compliant Mouse" ,
mouse work in {Linux Guest without hid_hyperv} if connect to it from {Windows physical workstation} _directly_
. . .
==-- and imm. after solve N1, we look Sub-problem N2 i.e.
CTRL + ALT + Left Arrow to release the mouse
http://blog.allanglesit.com/2010/05/ubuntu-and-hyper-v-the-paths-to-enlightenment/

Mouse Integration
When a user uses Hyper-V Management Console or System Center Virtual Machine Manager to connect to a VM [ with Linux without "MS Vmbus HID-compliant Mouse" ]
and they begin to interact with the desktop via the mouse, they find themselves in an interesting situation where they are unable to reclaim their mouse pointer from the VM without entering a somewhat cryptic keystroke ctrl + alt + left arrow.

N.Ch.> I’m using Server2012 Eval x86_64 and at the end of the install, I have:{

VVM 2013-01-09: It self this state of loading kernel modules is fine,
but see later
"at end of the install" -- is to late, need "at begin of the install"
}
N.Ch.> Despite thoses are not included in the initramfs,
N.Ch.>they are probably not useful during the boot phase?
N.Ch.>(maybe hv_storvsc should be made available thought).!) Mouse ( as phisical/material device) is used, primary, by end-user/sysadmin for work with user interface of Fedora installer
Of course, if You use fully automated install mode ( for example, by script) worked state of mouse kernel module not important
But in _interactive_ mode -- "worked state of mouse kernel module" is welcom!
1) Of course,
driver ( ok, "kernel module" ) for SCSI and IDE disks ( hv_storvsc) is more important, what driver for mouse ( hid_hyperv)2)"at end of the install" -- is to late, need "at begin of the install"
2b)
How exactly method:
by
-- "dracut needs to include hid_hyperv"
Or by
-- "hid_hyperv need be include in the initramfs"will be choice by Fedora Development team

The issue now is that in R18 of Fedora the HID driver is not integrated in Linux core, correct? Or this integration does not work correctly? The fact that you need to press keyboard shortcut to get your mouse pointer released from the VM window signals that the VM HID driver does NOT work, right?

IMHO, Bug 883005 is minor issue related *-netinstall.iso ( in *LiveCD*.iso mouse work as need )
See later *.png with example _good_ work mouse driver , look on hid_hyperv in lsmod output

How exactly Fedora Team fixed this issue , not principial for me

However xen and other virt platforms don't seem to add a USB bus by default so this bug makes fedora and gnome look pretty bad. halfline, hadess, can someone spin up F17 and F18 updates?I've tested the upstream patch, and it worksforme on F18. Here's my steps: 1) Install F18 beta guest (w/ kvm + virt-manager), verify I can log into gnome shell, shutdown VM 2) Edit VM XML to disable USB: * virsh edit <vmname> * remove <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> * change <controller type='usb' index='0'> to <controller type='usb' index='0' model='none'> * save and exit 3) start VM, verify you see the gnome shell fail screen 4) build local F18 fprintd rpm adding this patch:

Why this was not added into the repo more early? This bug should have been considered as a blocker IMHO. (or NTH at least). This affect the ability to have a usable system at the end of a graphical install in order to later make updates.Scratch build implementing #c43 . . .

Except:
