Matus Marhefka 2020-06-11 09:39:59 UTC Doc Text .Systems installed as `Server with GUI` with the CIS profile do not start properly

The CIS profile requires the removal of the `xorg-x11-server-common` (X Windows) package but does not require the change of the default target. As a consequence, the system is configured to run the GUI but the X Windows package is missing. As a result, the system does not start properly. To work around this problem, do not use the CIS profile with the `Server with GUI` software selection or customize the profile by removing the `package_xorg-x11-server-common_removed` and `xwindows_runlevel_target` rules.

.Installation with the `Server with GUI` or `Workstation` software selections and CIS security profile is not possible

The CIS profile is not compatible with the `Server with GUI` and `Workstation` software selection. As a consequence, a RHEL 8 installation with the `Server with GUI` software selection and CIS profile is not possible. An attempted installation using the CIS profile and either of these software selections will generate the error message: “package `xorg-x11-server-common` has been added to the list of excluded packages, but it can't be removed from the current software selection without breaking the installation.” To avoid the problem, do not use the CIS profile with the `Server with GUI` or `Workstation` software selections.
