Description Jeffrey Bruton 2012-10-22 07:36:38 CEST

Description of problem:
As previously mentioned, when booting a Dell C600 Laptop off the Mageia 3 Alpha 2 Live GNOME CD-ROM, the installer incorrectly chooses the graphics card, prompting the installer to display a screen that says:

"Sorry but there has been a problem starting your graphical display.

In order to debug your problem we will automatically switch to a text-based login screen from where login as the root user and run the 'drakx11' utility to configure your graphical system.
After configuration, you can restart your graphical environment via the command
   systemctl default
at which point you will be automatically logged out while the graphic systems starts.

If you would prefer to avoid this message and go straight to a text-based login system at boot, simply change the symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target to point instead to /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target

Good Luck :)

Press any key"

The part of this error screen that says "...login screen from where login as the root user..." is incorrect English.  It would be correct English and much easier to understand if the text was something like: "...login screen where you can login as the root user by entering 'root' at the login prompt, and then running the drakx11 utility..."

can't found the text, but iirc it was you colin that added that ?

CC: (none) => mageia
Source RPM: Mageia-3-alpha2-LiveCD-GNOME-en-i586-CD.iso => initscript ?

Comment 2 Colin Guthrie 2012-10-28 13:05:06 CET

Yup, lack of proof reading on that one! Oops!

We'll probably end up changing how this works eventually, but I'll fix it up for now.

The text comes from /usr/bin/display-manager-failure-message in initscripts package.

OK, fixed in git. It will ultimately make it to a release at some point.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
