Screen shot of problem inside VM.
Does X work after the installation? Created attachment 296832 [details]
The output of running startx
When running startx, I redirected the output to a file (attached).
"Doesn't appear so" is the answer.
The graphical installation of Fedora 9 alpha does not work for me either in a Vmware Workstation 6.0 and after the text-based installation the Xserver aborts with the same fatal error. When replacing the vmware driver in the xorg.conf file with the vesa driver X starts without problems. It seems to me as if the vmware driver is in some ways corrupted. (In reply to comment #4) Additional information: ISO with sha1sum: 9a723b7c5dc8e06cf5fcda124f342fea6e930da4 Fedora-9-Alpha-i386-DVD.iso Yes, vmware driver was unfortunately severly broken in Fedora 9 Alpha. Please try to install Fedora 9 and upgrade with yum upgrade -- it should work much better. Does it? (In reply to comment #6) Thanks. After the update the vmware driver works correctly. Sorry about that, but we cannot do anything with the LiveCD anymore. Closing as RAWHIDE What was the comment about(In reply to comment #8) > Sorry about that, but we cannot do anything with the LiveCD anymore. > > Closing as RAWHIDE What mention was there of the LiveCD? This is the Alpha ISO. Was this bug closed by mistake? I'll re-open... I am unable to perform a "yum update", nor "yum upgrade", as I get complaints with dependency resolution such as: Error: Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.2.6-6.1.fc9 is needed by package mono-data Error: Missing Dependency: sane-backends = 1.0.18-20.fc9 is needed by package sane-backends-libs I'm uncertain this should be closed. Performing a specific yum update xorg-x11-drv-vmware did appear to permit me to run the GUI (runlevel 5). I'll re-close this bug. |
