Description Dick Gevers 2016-12-06 12:40:41 CET

Description of problem:

Install M6sta2 from iso dated 051216 with all DE's

After reboot loginto various desktops: works okay.

Except: loginto GNOME classic, but the actual desktop entered into is IceWM (tried several times with same result).

Probably Installer not to blame but dunno better option, sorry.

I thought there was an existing bug report for this issue with previous isos, but can't find it.

Please attach journal.txt that is the result of running as root, when you involuntarily end up in IceWM:

      journalctl -ab > journal.txt

and also

     /root/drakx/report.bug.xz

Will do that when it happens again: was removed by formatting in 32 bit installer
 :((

It does not happen when M6 is installed without Plasma. Then gdm is used and it works okay.

So perhaps sddm is the culprit. I need to try again.

thx for investigating!

Install described above was done with all available DE's.

Next try was for Plasma plus GNOME only and the bug does not reappear. Closing as invalid; will reopen if it reoccurs after next iso is built.
