Do we really need this update in 1 ?

Well, 1 is still maintained till december, and if you do a minimal installation of 1 and install task-lxde you end up with no x and no working lxde.

So what speaks against that fix?

Ok indeed, so let's keep reopen, QA see comment 2

Failed on i586.

For testing, I took a minimal install I already had, ran
urpme task-x11 task-lxde
urpme --auto-orphans.
urpmi task-x11 (with Core Updates Testing disabled).

I then ran
urpmi task-x11 --no-suggests which installed the following packages
(medium "Core Release")
  consolekit-x11                 0.4.3        3.mga1        i586
  iceauth                        1.0.4        1.mga1        i586
  setxkbmap                      1.2.0        1.mga1        i586
  task-x11                       1            2.mga1        noarch
  x11-data-cursor-themes         1.0.2        2.mga1        noarch
  xhost                          1.0.4        1.mga1        i586
  xinit                          1.3.0        1.mga1        i586
(medium "Core Updates Testing")
  task-lxde                      1            3.1.mga1      noarch

I did this while chrooted into that system. When I then try to
boot into that system, gdm fails to start.

Xorg.0.log has ...
Fatal server error:
[    34.555] no screens found

So there's still some missing requires to make the system startable.

Are you sure it's missing requires? And not your chroot that is not configured to get display from already running X? Or how did you set up your chroot?

@Dave: did you run drakx11? Otherwise there may be some wrong/missing configuration.

I just tried myself using the following testing procedure:
- install mga1 into a vm (choose custom install, deselect all categories)
- setup repos
- install task-lxde
- configure using drakx11

It works!

Thanks Oliver.  Running XFdrake installed ...
Feb 19 17:13:22 hodgins perl: [RPM] x11-driver-video-r128-1:6.8.1-5.mga1.i586 installed
Feb 19 17:13:23 hodgins perl: [RPM] x11-driver-video-ati-1:6.14.1-4.mga1.i586 installed
Feb 19 17:13:24 hodgins perl: [RPM] radeon-firmware-20110601-1.1.mga1.nonfree.noarch installed
Feb 19 17:13:24 hodgins perl: [RPM] x11-driver-video-mach64-1:6.9.0-1.mga1.i586 installed
and the system now will start lxdm via gdm.

Regarding how I run the chroot, I use the following ...
#!/bin/bash
BackupMountPoint=/var/mnt/magtest
mount --bind /proc $BackupMountPoint/proc -o ro
mount --bind /sys $BackupMountPoint/sys -o ro
mount --bind /dev $BackupMountPoint/dev -o ro
chroot $BackupMountPoint

Testing complete on i586 for the srpm
task-lxde-1-3.1.mga1.src.rpm

We still need x86-64 testing.

Done.

That seems to agree with comment 7

Installed a minimal mga1 in virtualbox with updates and saved a snapshot.

urpmi task-lxde installed 121 packages but after reboot startx or startlxde failed. startx gives command not found. drakx11 asks to install task-x11 so confirmed the issue. 

Configuring with drakx11 does install task-x11 though so I'm not sure it is really a bug but it will be more usable for those performing manual configurations with it added.


Restored the snapshot and enabled updates testing.

urpmi task-lxde installed 175 packages. drakx11 didn't ask for task-x11 and installed another 21 packages to build the vbox kernel module.

rebooted into gdm and logged into minimal ldxe desktop.

Tested OK x86_64
