Description Herman Viaene 2016-07-29 13:13:53 CEST
Description of problem:
First call of drakconf (whether configuring Wifi or repositories) makes desktop behave badly up to not being usable at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RC of 22/7/2016, but on Plasma all RC's

How reproducible:
Only first call of drakconf after installation

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RC on real hw
2. After installation reboot and open drakconf to configure Wifi (if not done during installation) or repositories
3. Configuration works OK, but after that
- Plasma cannot be shutdown via menu, nor can drakconf be called again.
- Mate: mouse is gone, does not come back when using Ctr-ALt-Backspace to exit X. Need to power off to get back a working desktop.

The problem did not appear again after subsequent reboots.

Did a network install last night. Problem is the X server was not started.

Usual indicator is the Mageia Welcome screen does not have the check box andclose button bottom right. Have seen the problem on every clean install. I just reboot out of habit. Problem has been reported in different form a few times.

@ Herman

I understand you had done a classical install, and that the problem only occurred after booting into it for the first time.

If that is correct, then please run, as root:

   journalctl -ab 1 > journal.txt

and attach journal.txt to this report.


@ Bit Twister

In case that issue is related, do you mind giving the link to the open bug report about it?

@ Marja,
You understand correctly. Now when do you want this journal to be taken?

> @ Marja,
> You understand correctly. Now when do you want this journal to be taken?

If you are now logged into that install: now :-)

the "1" in "journalctl -ab 1" is an argument to the "-b" option. It means the logs from the first time you booted your machine. "2" would show the second boot. "-1" last one before current, "-2" the one before last one.

* So "journalctl -ab 1 > journal.txt" should contain the available logs from when you hit this bug.

* However, if you're willing to reproduce it, then please do also attach your 

   ~/.xsession-errors

from right after you see those problems.

* Btw, does switching to tty2 and back help?

* And what is the output of 

     lspcidrake -v | grep Card
Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-30 21:08:45 CEST
Also it would help to know what you actually did with drakconf.
Comment 6 Herman Viaene 2016-07-31 09:14:10 CEST
@ Marja
Adding journalx86-64.txt from x86-64 Plasma installation and journali586.txt from 586 Mate installation. At the end of the file I added the output of the lspcidrake command.
@ Thierry
In the x86-64 installation I configured Wifi (does not work during installation for Intel 3610)
In the i586 installation I configured the repositories.
Note: I never use the options in the "Welcome" app, just make sure it never comes back, and I use the normal entry drakconf from the menu.

Sorry, the attachments are not from the correct command. I have to run them again.

The reporter, Herman, filed a duplicate, but that report contains newer information, so closing this one.

I had assigned that report to KDE team, because of the plasmashell qt5 error just before the logs from that report show drakconnect gets started
