Description Juan Luis Baptiste 2012-12-26 06:01:49 CET

Description of problem:

On mga3 beta 1, when configuring a video card with XFdrake, the "Automatically start graphic interface" configuration option is not checked by default (attaching image). IMO this is not a good idea as if the user doesn't read all the options and hits next (like I did... several times today) and finishes the video card configuration, after the system is rebooted X won't start, and a reconfiguration of the video card will be needed. Having that option checked by default will avoid this mistake which will not be very obvious for naive users.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start XFdrake
2. Select the video card to configure
3. Select (again) video card to configure in case of a system with multiple cards.
4. See on the options screen that the "Automatically start graphic interface" is not checked.

it seems it depends on the hardware but I'm not sure I really understand the code

Release blocker as it's a regression and will cause many problems when people start to "lose" their Xs..

Comment 4 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-03 12:18:37 CET

still valid ? (there was some bugs since beta2 so you could try a netinstall or wait for the coming beta3)

also what is your graphic card ?

Watching latest nvidia bugs it seems to be still valid as it was mentioned in those bugs.

This is indeed annoying. Thierry, can you please have a look on it?

Comment 7 Derek Jennings 2013-03-15 17:20:25 CET

I think I see where the problem is :-

In Xconfig/various.pm around line 224
subroutine runlevel() called without arguments is supposed to return the current runlevel but in mga3 the line

        cat_($f) =~ /^id:(\d):initdefault:\s*$/m && $1;

returns null
