Bug 1571342

"In addition, moving forward in the installation progress, it is required to create the root password and a user, that should be disabled due to the intent to reduce redundancy."

Did you test an official nightly image (if so which one) or a self-created image?

"Booting in Basic Video Driver the Workstation Live image (on a virtual machine and via USB on a macbook) the login window appears instead of autologin."

This has been around for quite a long time, I think. I've noticed it before. I thought I'd filed a bug on it, but can't find it. Can you check if F27 is the same for you?

Official nightly 20180421.n.1
Btw, this happens only on the virtual machine (I know, it is pointless to start with basic video driver in a VM). Actually, on bare metal I'm not asked to create a user nor the root password.
So I think that this is a non existent problem

Yes. Also on F27 the login windows appears. So there is not a regression, right?

Right. It's a bug, but not a new one, or a blocker.

The spoke thing is weird - that's controlled by the presence or absence of a file. I can't see why being in a VM or using a different video driver would matter. Is it reproducible? Are the spokes present every time you run the live installer in a VM with basic graphics, but not present otherwise?

No. I'm unable to reproduce it, in any way. I don't know what the hell did I do :-) even if it happened more than twice this afternoon.

So. Never mind this report.

Closing based on the comment #4.

There were two bugs reported here, so that was a bit premature. The autologin-not-working one is a real bug, and I can't find any other reports of it any more, though I'm almost sure I filed one.

My vague recollection is that the reason for this has something to do with the HW accel support detection code, but IMBW.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases

EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you

to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's

This is still the case on F30.

Fedora 30 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-05-26. Fedora 30 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
