Description Ben McMonagle 2016-06-11 01:40:15 CEST

Description of problem:
My install was via i586 boot_non_free.iso using the i586.iso stored on a local HDD
chose "custom disk partitioning"
chose "plasma"from the 3 option window
install proceeded with 1099 packages selected
at configuration, "graphical interface" was "not configured"
chose to configure - added 77 packages
set other personal preferences, installed bootloader, and rebooted

chose new install from Grub2 menu.
boot up halts with ""Sorry, but there has been a problem starting your graphical display....
Good luck :)....press any key."

advises to run drakx11

at prompt login as root.
start drakx11 - (no different from end of install) 
add online media (urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.6.i586.list')
add software "urpmi task-plasma5" (670 packages, includes sddm)
at completion, run: systemctl default

@ Thierry

In the stage1 part of the logs, there are 16 lines of:

* LOOP_GET_STATUS(unexpected error): Value too large for defined data type

Do they reveal the root of the problem?

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-11 17:54:12 CEST

That's unrelated (stage1 isn't in charge of installing packages).
Those're just warnings as stage1 tried different ISOs.

Besides, packages do got installed.

The real issue is that KDE -> Plasma switch wasn't properly done...
