Description André DESMOTTES 2014-12-15 16:32:54 CET
Description of problem:
Mageia-5-beta2-x86_64-DVD on real HW, clean install.
KDE chosen as DE but Icewm is installed instead

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
First install, I have Icewm and menu doesn't work (no MCC, no cterminal...) and alt Fn either
I redid the clean install, this time, it was Icewm again but menu was working and I could install kde4 with MCC.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Mageia-5-beta2-x86_64-DVD, chosing KDE
2.Reboot
3.no KDM and start with Icewm

Hi André

Please attach /root/drakx/report.bug.xz 

You can safely always attach that file when something went wrong with a traditional install ;-)

just checked, kdm and task-kde are on the iso, or at least in Mageia-5-beta2-x86_64-DVD.idx (didn't check for all dependencies, though)

Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2014-12-15 18:02:12 CET
just looking at kdm, I see it first got selected and then unselected.

* no packages match phonon (it is either in skip.list or already rejected)
* unselecting phonon-vlc-0.8.1-1.mga5.x86_64
* unselecting lib64kdecore5-4.14.3-1.mga5.x86_64
* unselecting keditbookmarks-4.14.3-1.mga5.x86_64
* unselecting plasma-applet-weatherstation-4.14.3-1.mga5.x86_64
* unselecting lib64kworkspace4-4.11.14-3.mga5.x86_64
....... and unselecting many more, including kdm and task-kde-minimal


didn't check whether there was more missing than just phonon (time to cook dinner now)

Comment 5 Dick Gevers 2014-12-15 18:20:32 CET
Same here: when selecting *all* graphical environments, I reboot and do not have the option to use KDE, and the gdm is used instead of kdm
Comment 6 claire robinson 2014-12-15 18:21:58 CET
Same issue with DVD 32 default kde installation. After installation first boot starts XDM and logs into IceWM.

Seems only gtk applications are left installed
Comment 8 Manuel Hiebel 2014-12-15 18:46:48 CET
certainly offtopic, but was is it not planned to use sddm as default ?

  Same here. Could make no further progress.
Tried the clean install twice.

"* adding a reason to already rejected package phonon-vlc-0.8.1-1.mga5.x86_64: unsatisfied phonon"

I guess that phonon-4.8.2-1.mga5 is missing on Mageia-5-beta2 DVD.
@Anne, please could you add phonon-vlc to input_cat, and kactivitymanagerd too (it could have the same pb).
IIRC, bcd doesn't handle properly requires with alternatives (here phonon-backend); it doesn't pull all the dependencies for the preferred package (from prefer.vendor.list, here phonon-vlc).

btw, relatively to kactivitymanagerd, you can blacklist kactivities-framework (Plasma 5 alternative to kactivitymanagerd, and we don't put Plasma 5 on DVD).
Comment 11 Anne Nicolas 2014-12-16 00:02:00 CET
Well that's strange as it was working properly until last update of phonon. No pb during beta 1 release.

Anyway both packages added in list and kactivitymanagerd excluded. Changes will be available for next set of isos

I slightly modified phonon packaging in last update of phonon to fix packaging bugs. Previously, all the phonon-vlc dependencies were pull through other packages. Now, phonon (new sub-package) is only required by phonon backends (phonon-vlc preferred), and bcd fails to pull this new dependency.

kactivities-framework should be excluded, not kactivitymanagerd. kactivitymanagerd is the one that we need to have on Mageia 5 DVD !!!
