davidwhodgins, eeeemail, ennael1, marja11, wilcal.int @ Len Is this bug still valid with the publicly released iso? Whiteboard:

(none) @ Marja As said in bug 17698 c#5 testing again to check symptoms. UEFI test again. Failure confirmed. Plasma Live iso from 2016-03-25 Dropped straight to the command line with "Sorry, but there has been a problem starting your graphical display..... $ drakx11 Chose nvidia series 420 and later Plug'n'play monitor Resolution Automatic (24bpp) No test Ignored request to reboot because of live session $ systemctl default Goes back to tty login Login as live $ startx start.kde X server crash, as described before. $ systemctl status sddm.service disabled ... inactive(dead) $ systemctl start sddm.service Screen blanks Tried tty1 and tty2 Text login prompt flashes up periodically - looks like there is no future in it. Alt Ctl Del to reboot Command line again Logged in as root and checked sddm status sddm disabled $ drakx11 Chose Xorg vesa, plug'n'play, 1280x1024 (not sure what the limit is for vesa but this is a 4K screen and that resolution is too low to be usable) No test $ systemctl default Straight to command line, logged in as live $ startx start.kde A low resolution mouse pointer appears in the centre of the "busy" symbol then seconds later X server crash. It looks like bug 17698 describes similar issues. Shall follow up with the CSM report. Test of the Plasma5 iso on a CSM laptop with nvidia GeForce series 8100 graphics ran into the same problems as the in the UEFI case. Choosing nvidia resulted in the Xorg nouveau driver being installed (apparently) and an X server crash. So, this bug is still valid. I am not sure of the status of 17698 though. Since it applied to an out-dated iso and later isos reproduce its most serious issues it should perhaps be retired. Last comment about someone hitting this issue dates from almost 5 years ago. I'm sure that there'll be a newer bug report if this still happens with recent ISOs, so closing this report as OLD Resolution:
