I performed an installation from the Mageia 2 alpha 3 x86_64 DVD, selecting only the LXDE desktop. Installation completed successfully, but on reboot the display manager made 6 attempts to start before giving up and leaving me in a text console. In /var/log/daemons/errors.log, the following messages are logged: Jan 14 09:55:41 xxx sm-notify[4063]: Failed to open directory sm.bak: No such file or directory Jan 14 09:55:44 xxx gnome-session[4856]: GLib-GIO-ERROR: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system#012aborting...

This is repeated on every reboot. urpmi claims the schemas are installed: # urpmi gsettings-desktop-schemas Package gsettings-desktop-schemas-3.3.2-2.mga2.x86_64 is already installed I don't know if this is an installation problem or a package problem, so am filing against the installer.
P.S. I did not see this bug when installing from the alpha 2 DVD.
Hi thanks for the bug report. Is consolekit installed ?
Source RPM: (none) => gdm
Yes, consolekit is installed. If I change the display manager to kdm or xdm in MCC, I get a working graphical login, so it's just gdm that doesn't work (as expected, given the error messages). I have since done a trial installation on a different machine, which doesn't show this fault, so it seems very likely this is just a missing package.
Can be related to bug 395 see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395#c16
I agree it's probably related. I know in my second (working) install, I selected the LXDE desktop in the primary package selection screen, whereas in my first install I think I selected it in the individual package selection screen (I was actually wanting to install XFCE - but that still hasn't been made available). I'll hold off doing a reinstall for a day or two in case someone wants to track down which package is missing.
Hi Martin, Is this bug still valid in beta 3?
Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFOCC: (none) => marja11
I've just tested this with a fresh install from the beta 3 DVD, and can't reproduce the bug. So I'm marking this as fixed.
