Description Lewis Smith 2016-11-14 21:29:34 CET

This bug supersedes bug 19216
  https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19216
by separating reports between:
- real hardware
- VBox [this bug]

If the problem is related to AutoLogin, please note it on bug:
 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19234

Please be careful to note all the factors which might be relevant (real HW | VBox are already implied). There is no need to list them all, but certainly those which might be applicable. You might even Copy/Paste the list below as a template, deleting irrelevant lines:

- Architecture [also part of the ISO name below]:
  - i586 on 32bit host
  - i586 on 64bit host
  - x86_64 on 64bit host
- What VBox graphics equivalent?
- Which ISO are you testing (title & date)?
- BIOS boot or UEFI?
- At what stage do you see the message?
  - Booting the ISO from [what medium]
  - Later during the installation
  - Re-booting the installed system:
    - Without non-free [video] software
    - With non-free [video] software
    - Without installation update
    - With installation update
  - Subsequent re-boots without updates
  - Subsequent re-boots after updates
- Kernel version(s)
- In the case of nvidia does the kmod build succeed?
- What graphics driver?
- If you added a kernel parameter to succeed: what? Among:
  - nomodeset
  - nokmsboot
  - vboxvideo.nomodeset
- Is 'vboxvideo' blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.conf ?
- Which display manager?
  * Please try others (if you have >1, from a console: # drakdm)
  * If you have only 1, install another if you are able to (have network, repos enabled)
    (# urpmi GDM|LightDM|LXDM|SDDM)
  * Re-boot
- The presence and contents of /etc/sddm.conf
- The presence and contents of /etc/sysconfig/desktop
- /etc/X11/xorg.conf: does removing it change the situation?
- Whether Autologin is active or not.

Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2016-11-15 11:19:37 CET

@ all

Please use this bug as tracker, and file a fresh bug report when you hit this issue, while providing as much information as possible, as Lewis suggested above.

After filing it, please set the new bug to _block_ this one by adding 19782 in the "Blocks:" field of the new bug.

The reason is, that there are most likely several bugs leading to this error. Each needs a separate bug report. Accidentally filing duplicates is less bad, in this case, than getting a bug report like bug 19216 that contains mixed issues.

Thanks!
Marja

Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2016-11-23 12:37:31 CET

@ Jan,

Please file a separate bug report :-)

This one is a _tracker_ 

In trackers, we do not comment about related bugs we find.

Instead, we let the tracker depend on the bug reports it tracks. See e.g. tracker bug 17523

(Adding "[TRACKER]" to the summary, in case the TRACKER keyword alone isn't clear enough)

You shouldn't have the error with sddm either now.

Comment 8 papoteur 2016-12-07 07:18:10 CET

I encounter the bug this week, in Bios mode.
Trying to update it, the VM is now completely unusable and I'm unable to help with more information.

Comment 9 papoteur 2016-12-09 19:27:53 CET

Found a mean to get something without splash option. 
Note that I have no more the good luck message.

Host:Mageia 5, Intel graphic card
VirtualBox : Version 5.0.20_OSE r106931


Guest:
kernel 4.8.12-desktop-1 x86_64

By switching to a console, I installed xdm and switched to it with drakdm. No success.
The system seems to loop trying something again and again.

Please create a dedicated bug report. I'm closing this tracker since the bug it is about was fixed. Attaching /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of journalctl -ab as root, to the new bug report, might help diagnosing the issue.
