Description William Kenney 2015-04-12 04:43:11 CEST
Description of problem:

In Vbox start with an updated M4.1 x86_64 system then execute an
upgrade using:

Mageia-5-RC-x86_64-DVD.iso
Thu Apr  9 22:56:24 CEST 2015
98cbb4e2366dd2218896b71e1801b441

Upgrade proceeds normally with no errors then the reboot
stops at a terminal requesting user name and password.
Entering both then commanding "startx" then the KDE desktop
appears normally. Subsequent reboots require the same
process.


Reproducible:

I don't see the link with installer.
I suspect prefdm.

We would need you to attach (not paste) "journalctl -b" output as well as your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (to be saved before you type "startx")

We would need your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz instead (so that we can see lspcidrake & the like)

So I tried the Upgrade using the 64-bit:

boot.iso
39.0 MiB 05/12/15 13:53

Ran into the same exact thing. Bummer.
It's really a show stopper. :-((

Comment 10 Rémi Verschelde 2015-05-14 22:19:53 CEST
Did you do all your upgrade tests using the same Mageia 4 snapshot?

If so, it would be great if you could try to install Mageia 4 in a new VM, update it and attempt the upgrade again. If the upgrade works fine, it might help narrow down the issue to a package or config on your current Mageia 4 snapshot.

I should have time tomorrow. I'll run it on real hardware.
Comment 12 claire robinson 2015-05-15 10:25:25 CEST
Performed a 64bit vbox upgrade with the applet overnight with all DE's and alot of other random stuff, gdm logging in to kde. 

Only issue was that the Reboot button on the applet caused a segfault rather than reboot. X started after manually rebooting and kde logged in ok. 

Tested also gdm logging in to gnome, kdm logging in to kde, kdm into e18 (segfault at start which was able to recover, old issue), lxdm into lxde, lightdm into mate, cinnamon 2d, icewm, openbox, windowmaker, xfce and kodi (which needs gpu so doesn't like vbox).

Some odd effects, presumably from having so much stuff installed, like two volume controls in lxde, networkmanager applet and net-applet running, so will need to test basic installs from the next set of ISOs.

I'll roll it back and try an upgrade with boot.iso

One suggestion as a possible cause for this bug is perhaps the use of boot.iso rather than boot-nonfree.iso
Comment 13 William Kenney 2015-05-15 17:25:35 CEST
Ok, so carefully going through this again on real hardware.
First start with a clean drive then install an up-to-date
M4.1 x86_64. Then boot from:

Mageia-5-x86_64-DVD.iso
Tue May  5 01:17:01 CEST 2015
md5sum: 03896e93c23342539d205ea20e1a7a0e

After the install and reboot the system does successfully get to
a working desktop. Switch the repo from M4.1 -> M5, update ( about
259 packages ), then a successful reboot back to a working desktop.
Then reboot again successfully back to a working desktop. So maybe
this is indeed a Vbox only phenomenon. I'll once again try this
in Vbox to see if I can reproduce it again.

In VirtualBox, M4.1 -> M5, KDE, 64-bit

Reproduced again:

In Vbox start with an updated M4.1 x86_64 system then execute an
upgrade using:

Mageia-5-x86_64-DVD.iso
Tue May  5 01:17:01 CEST 2015
md5sum: 03896e93c23342539d205ea20e1a7a0e

Upgrade proceeds normally with no errors then the reboot
stops at a terminal requesting user name and password.
Entering both then commanding "startx" then the KDE desktop
appears normally. Subsequent reboots require the same
process.

So this looks to be a Vbox specfic bug. I'm gonna take it off
being a release blocker and change it to "high" as it may
surface in other environments.

Is this issue still valid with the released sta1 ISOs / current netinstall?
