Description Jiri Hladky 2019-01-22 14:34:46 UTC

Description of problem:

After you install RHEL-7.6 Server followed with the manual installation of X11 with 

yum groupinstall "Server with GUI" 

there is package xorg-x11-drv-evdev missing (not installed). At least on P50 Lenovo Laptop when starting X11 without this package, GDM will not respond as neither keyboard nor mouse are working. 

Please add "xorg-x11-drv-evdev" package to the "Server with GUI" group to resolve this problem. 


Please also note that when installing RHEL-7.6 Workstation, the package "xorg-x11-drv-evdev" is automatically installed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.6 Server

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL-7.6 Server from Anaconda using the default package selection - it means, without GUI
2. Install "Server with GUI" package group with yum groupinstall "Server with GUI"
3. Check if package xorg-x11-drv-evdev is installed: rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-evdev


4. (Optional on P50 laptop) Make GUI target the default one with the command:
systemctl set-default graphical.target
5. (Optional on P50 laptop) Start X11 with the command
systemctl isolate graphical.target
and check if mouse & keyboard are working in GDM (without xorg-x11-drv-evdev being installed, on P50 mouse and keyboard will not work) 

Actual results:
xorg-x11-drv-evdev IS NOT installed
Mouse and keyboard are not working in GDM on P50 laptop. The laptop is locked as no input method is working. (Hint - ssh still works)

Expected results:
xorg-x11-drv-evdev IS installed
On P50 laptop, mouse and keyboard are working in GDM

Thanks a lot!

This is a change in comps xml, nothing to be done in yum code.
Reassigning to releng.

Comment 3 Jiri Hladky 2019-01-23 22:41:54 UTC

Thanks for reassigning BZ to the correct group!

You can use 
repoquery --groupmember xorg-x11-drv-evdev 
to check to which groups package belongs.

Currently (tested on RHEL-7.6 Server) package does not belong to any group:

[root@p50 ~]# repoquery --groupmember xorg-x11-drv-evdev 
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.10.6-1.el7.x86_64

Thanks!

Brian, we need a pm_ack. I'm assigning the bug to you.

Comment 10 Jiri Hladky 2019-04-05 18:03:56 UTC

Tested p50.tpb.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com with RHEL-7.7-20190404.n.0 Server.


$ repoquery --groupmember xorg-x11-drv-evdev 
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.10.6-1.el7.x86_64
  @x11

$ rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-evdev => no match

$ yum groupinstall "Server with GUI" -y

$ rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-evdev
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.10.6-1.el7.x86_64

It's fixed. Thank you!
