Description claire robinson 2013-11-07 12:08:21 CET

Email sent to qa-discuss and Anne. This is the associated bug and some logs :)

---------
No improvement in stage2 with dual dvd as far as connecting to the
network is concerned, although wifi does now install the firmware it
doesn't see any networks in the scan and 'Problems occurred' at the
connection test when the connection details are entered manually.

The log on tty3 shows some errors..
* program not found /usr/sbin/wpa_cli
* program not found /lib/udev/write_net_rules

Also the error log on tty1 shows ..
RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory

There are a number of these there too..
GTK-Critical **: gtk_cell view_set_cell_data: assertion
'cell_view->priv->displayed_rom != NULL' failed at
/usr/lib/libDrakX/interactive/gtk.pm line 524.


Also now it shows soundcard (I think old soundblaster live - e10k) not
configured.

DualDVD with XFCE asks to install GDM after the main packages (#11325)
but doesn't install it. It didn't offer to install the nonfree nvidia
driver and X fails to start after the reboot.

lsusb (usbutils) is not installed.

Comment 6 Anne Nicolas 2013-11-07 22:17:13 CET

usbutils has been added in packages list.

By default there is no require on any display manager in task-xfce, only a suggest on lightdm. Added in bcd list to fix this (we do not take into account any suggests by default)

Comment 7 Anne Nicolas 2013-11-08 11:53:00 CET

Also it needed to be fixed in installer. By default gdm was hardcoded to be used as DM with xfce. New stage 2 submitted

> usbutils has been added in packages list.

is this not useless ?

it's in the rpmsrate, so always on isos, only not installed: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11606#c1

Comment 9 Dave Hodgins 2013-11-11 15:28:40 CET

Trying to login fails, after installing from the dual-cd (x86_64).

~/.xsession-errors has
/etc/security/shell: line 4: TMOUT: readonly variable
Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address

Comment 10 Dave Hodgins 2013-11-11 20:31:15 CET

As discussed on irc, confirming that selecting the second icon from the top
right (hard to see), and selecting xfce instead of drak3d, does allow login,
so the only problem here is the default selection in lightdm.

Summary: 4beta1 Dual DVD issues Nov 7th build (XFCE) => 4beta1 Dual DVD XFCE install defaults to drak3d on first login

Comment 12 Jani Välimaa 2013-12-22 12:30:11 CET

Seems lightdm is searching Name=foo from .desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions/ and selecting alphabetically first if no default is configured. drak3d is alphabetically before xfce4. 

Added lightdm config file to xfce4-session to pre-select Xfce4 session on first boot. After first login, selected session is saved to ~/.dmrc and fetched from there next time.

Changed also some bits in Xfce wmsession.d file which may cause some one time "issues" in existing installations, but that's the nature of Cauldron.

Comment 13 Jani Välimaa 2014-01-04 12:34:16 CET

Even this should be already "fixed" I digged a bit more and the behaviour comes from lightdm-gtk-greeter [1]. If it doesn't find session it looks for previous session and after that the default one. If all those fails it just picks the first one available in the menu (which was the case).
