Description leigh scott 2026-05-24 23:37:09 UTC 
I tried to install the latest F45 cinnamon spin

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/Fedora-Cinnamon-Live/Rawhide/20260524.n.0/images/Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-Rawhide-20260524.n.0.x86_64.iso

slitherer prevents liveinst from starting because it expects wayland, cinnamon is X11.


Reproducible: Always

I tried switch to firefox, it's the same


$ liveinst 
localuser:root being added to access control list

Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 45.4-1.fc45 for Fedora 45 (pre-release) started.
 * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
 * shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)

It appears it's anaconda forcing wayland
