Description of problem: The Mageia 8 Beta 2 Plasma ISO, when booted with the non-free option to boot either live environment or the installer fails because the drakx-installer-xsetup.service can't start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 8 Beta 2 How reproducible: Tried twice, once booting to the non-free live environment and once to the non-free installer. Happened both times. I can switch virtual terminals and see that the a session has started but a graphical environment is not opened to the live environment desktop or the installer. The initial failure that cascades is the systemd service drakx-installer-xsetup.service failing to start. journalctl messages: TIMESTAMP HOST: systemd[1]: drakx-installer-xsetup.service: Failed with result code 'exit-code'. TIMESTAMP HOST: systemd[1]: Failed to start: Run DrakX installer X setup scripts.

After switching to a virtual terminal, capture the full system log with journalctl -b > journal.log Then mount another disk partition, either an internal disk or another USB stick, and copy the file there, e.g. if your partition is /dev/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt cp journal.log /mnt/journal.log umount /mnt Reboot into a working system that can access that partition, compress the journal.log file, and attach it to this bug report.
