Are there any /tmp/firstboot-* files? If so, please attach them to this bug report. I'm sorry, no. What do you mean by "the graphical boot is not completed"? Is something failing before firstboot has a chance to run, or is it only firstboot that is failing? I have the same problem with F9-Preview. After text mode installation runlevel 5 is default in the inittab. During the first boot - the first boot is run in text mode but X server tries to start and everything hangs... I found the following workaround: If installed in text mode, run the first time in the text mode (runlevel 3), configure X and then run in runlevel 5. the solution I propose is such: If installed in text mode - the first boot is in runlevel 3 - without X server. The default runlevel can be detected and changed later in X configuration. It would be great to have it fixed before final release as newbies may have trouble with it. > What do you mean by "the graphical boot is not completed"? > Is something failing > before firstboot has a chance to run, or is it only firstboot that is failing? Nothing fails. My problem is exactly described in comment #4 by pliszka.edu Okay, thanks for the detailed directions. I am now able to reproduce and see what's going on. This should be fixed in tomorrow's rawhide I believe Yep, just verified that it worked. Thanks for doing the rebuild. I completed fresh 2 installations yesterday and today, and in both cases firstboot failed to run after rebooting into the new installations. I noticed that if I restart the system after firstboot failed, it will run only if switch rhgb to 'detail view' on restarting. And I also noticed it spewed out 2 lines of error saying something like 'loading language module failed, skipping' (sorry i could read the exact error, it went away too fast). What tree did you install with? (In reply to comment #11) > What tree did you install with? Rawhide I noticed this on a rawhide install yesterday as well. Can you attach /root/install.log and /var/log/anaconda.log from your install? I did a few installs with yesterday's rawhide and had firstboot come up fine. Created attachment 304401 [details]
anaconda log
Created attachment 304402 [details]
rawhide install log
My testing shows that it works if rhgb is not running. Traceback (most recent call last):

Clearing 444010 - that's not the cause of this issue (at least not this incarnation of it.) Fixed in rhgb-9.0.0-6.fc9. Verified. |
