Description Palm Pre 2011-04-10 03:51:31 CEST
Description of problem: Defaul installation from dual CD doesn't install LXDE. 

There is no drak3d as well. It is possible to login to openbox. Unfortunatelly, none of listed terminals (5 - five are listed) starts. At the moment, # urpmi.addmedia core has the same mistake I reported in bug 100.

Well, a long story short: pcmanfm was installed.

1. MCC
2. Configuring media
3. Installing xterm

Now the box is usable.
Comment 2 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-12 08:05:11 CEST
How did you install exactly? did you change any options or went with the defaults in the installer?
Comment 3 Palm Pre 2011-04-13 01:41:13 CEST
I uncheked office. 

I'm gonna try default installation on different box anyway.

Btw, I have the same problem with i586 box installation.
Comment 4 Palm Pre 2011-04-13 04:48:21 CEST
I've just installed LXDE from DUAL CD on x86_64. Default installation
(606 packages) just worked. 

Two previous installation was made from ISO image. 

611 packages was installed on x86_64 box (/ on LVM partition).  

612 packages was installed on i586 one. The installation was made with / and /home (not formatted) partitions on previous LXDE (Mandriva) installation. I was able to boot into LXDE. However after updates and reboot choosing LXDE from kdm just restarted kdm.
Comment 5 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-14 00:33:22 CEST
So LXDE does get installed now?

(The login problem with LXDE+KDM should be in a new bug report).
Comment 6 Palm Pre 2011-04-14 01:55:13 CEST
I had three different installation. 

Original (I filed a bug about) didn't install LXDE. Installation was one from iso image.

Installation from dual CD installed LXDE on different box.

# /usr/sbin/findSession didn't add LXDE to kdm session.

Is it installed?

OK.

That installed LXDE correctly?

Which do you mean by "installed" LXDE or /usr/sbin/fndSession ?
Comment 8 Palm Pre 2011-04-14 03:11:44 CEST
Well, lets restate, "dual CD didn't install LXDE".
Comment 9 Palm Pre 2011-04-15 00:57:21 CEST
Oops! 

# urpmi task-lxde
Package task-lxde-1-3.mga1.noarch is already installed

I just can't login into LXDE.
Comment 10 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-15 07:56:15 CEST
Which display manager is used (KDM or GDM)? you can check:
grep -i display /etc/sysconfig/desktop

Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO
Component: Installation => RPM Packages
Source RPM: (none) => kdm

Ahmad Samir 2011-04-15 07:56:28 CEST

Source RPM: kdm => lxde-session

Ahmad Samir 2011-04-15 07:57:11 CEST

Source RPM: lxde-session => lxde-common

Comment 11 Palm Pre 2011-04-16 06:18:21 CEST
# grep -i display /etc/sysconfig/desktop
DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm
Comment 12 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-16 17:55:00 CEST
There's a bug with LXDE+gdm, other display managers work OK. e.g. xdm, slim or kdm. So install any of them and switch the display manager using 'drakedm' from console.

(Please don't put 'beta/alpha' in bug summaries, a bug can live through alpha/beta/final release and get fixed in the next official release of Mageia...).

Summary: 1-beta1: dual CD doesn't install LXDE => Can't log into LXDE when using GDM

Comment 13 Palm Pre 2011-04-17 03:23:39 CEST
It worked on x86_64 boxes. 

On i586 box, it was fixed with a regular updates a couple of days ago.

My 'beta/alpha' in bug summaries reflects bugzilla's bugs sorting stile. At least I have a time when I filed a bug immediately visible from a bug list.

What worked exactly? logging into LXDE with gdm as the display manager?

But it's totally useless from a developer/triage point of view, simply because reading the description/date and looking at the RPM Package field will reveal when the bug was filed.

Again, it doesn't matter if a bug happened in Alpha/Beta/RC/Final release, a bug can be still alive through all those stages and get fixed in the next release.
Comment 15 Palm Pre 2011-04-17 05:30:48 CEST
On x86_64, switching to kdm let me login into LXDE.

On i586, after updates a couple of days ago, I was able to login into LXDE with gdm.

Comment 19 Oliver Burger 2011-10-01 21:38:23 CEST
Is this bug still valid?

Or was it automagically solved between beta and final?
