Description Jacques Pronchery 2012-03-06 14:16:46 CET 
During the install of LXDE it ask for installing gdm but we cannot answer "yes"
or "no", because there are only buttons for "previous" or "continue".
This question is not necessary because lxdm works fine.

> I do not know how to grab a screenshot during the install.

F2: make a screenshot to place in /root/DrakX-screenshots after installation 
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks#Keyboard_shortcuts

(The QA has seen the same with pre-beta1 release (don't know what changed after) but with kdm

http://bn.parinux.org/mageia2-beta1
l 84 after user configuration the installer says, that kdm has to be installed)

Here are two issues really;

About the dialog: Please also see my comments about function at Bug 5766

About the gdm and more unneeeded packages see Bug 5704

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Comment 8 Jacques Pronchery 2012-06-14 11:42:44 CEST 
Now, I have not this page when installing Mageia, so I do not know
if this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.
Comment 9 Morgan Leijström 2012-06-14 15:13:42 CEST 
During normal KDE install it do not ask.
But follow steps to repruduce in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5704#c0
Comment 10 Jacques Pronchery 2012-06-14 17:22:07 CEST 
If I install only task-x and task-lxde it ask nothing and install nothing for dm.
Comment 11 Morgan Leijström 2012-06-14 18:24:35 CEST 
Maybe bug 5704 is solved, but need specific test. (did it not install lxdm?)

Anyway, for this bug evaluation we need some other method to make that dialog appear...
Comment 12 Marja Van Waes 2015-04-08 15:56:25 CEST 
This is one of 8 hyper-stale bugs and enhancement requests (other than package requests) that are now being closed as old.

Each of them
* is still assigned to BugSquad instead of to a maintainer
* did not see any action since June 2012

If this one is still valid, then please reopen it. 

In that case: don't be shocked that I closed it:
There is more chance it'll get fixed after it's wrongly closed and then reopened again (because of the mails Bugzilla sends to many packagers etc. when there is some action in a bug), than when nothing happens in this report for some more years :-)

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD
