Bug 1266625

I'm not sure there is anything we need to do in anaconda directly for this as we just use yum.  Maybe the yum team has a better idea.

This is probably duplicate of bug 1073484 closed as WONTFIX and probably also bug 1358927.

Some of the groups are marked as hidden by design.  In order to show them, you have to supply the "hidden" keyword after the command, e.g. "yum group summary hidden".  Does that solve the issue for you?

(I presume you meant the "group summary" subcommand as there's no "group status" subcommand).

I'm usually using

# yum group list

When the system was installed I selected "Minimal Install" as my environment and selected "System Management" as well as "System Administration Tools".

And what about "yum group list hidden" then?  Can you please share the output?

Thanks, that indeed looks weird.  Can you please take a look at the actual comps files in the yum cache:

  # find /var/cache/yum/ -name "*comps*"

and make sure they contain some data under the <comps> tag?

# find /var/cache/yum/ -name "*comps*" -ls

So far so good.  What about:
  # yum group info Core

That is one group that actually should be installed by default.

A bit silly, but are you sure you ran "yum group mark convert" instead of "yum group mark-convert" from Comment 0?

Ahhh yum group mark convert does get the group list right.

I guess it is a bit late in the RHEL6 game to get anaconda do that automatically...

Glad it helped!  I'll close this bug then.

Yeah, this has been discussed in the past.  In a nutshell, there's no straightforward way of having this done OOTB on a freshly installed system because there are no repos until it's registered with subscription-manager.  For more details, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073484#c13

Thanks!
