Can you attach your ~/.xsession-errors file? Also, if you do a 'yum groupinstall XFCE' in a console what is the output? Created attachment 305635 [details]

run of yum groupinstall XFCE
no .xsession-errors files found yum groupinstall XFCE solves the problem. Attached anaconda config and log. It seems that for some reason installer fails to pull XFCE packages in even though xfce-desktop is specfied. Yeah, it looks like it didn't install them. ;( What was your install method and media? It looks like this bug is due to the a conditional package in the Xfce group:
<packagereq type="conditional"
requires="im-chooser">imsettings-xfce</packagereq>
im-chooser is available on the media, so anaconda decides it can offer the
entire Xfce group, when none of the other Xfce packages are on the media.
:(
Installed using the release PPC DVD image, media test executed. Yeah, that confirms the bug described in comment #7. I have added this to the common issues page, so hopefully others running into it will see the workaround. Moving forward we should make sure this does not happen for F10. (Not much we can do for F9 as the media is already shipped). I am moving this bug over to anaconda to get fixed for the next release. Also changing the Summary to be a bit more descriptive and adding it to the F10 blocker bug. Thanks again for reporting this! *** Bug 450538 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Surely this bug should block F10Blocker, not the other way around. Changing it. The problem here is that the conditional as listed in comps was backwards, but this is fixed in F10 Alpha. Please try the alpha and verify that it's fixed. If not, feel free to reassign it back to us and we'll look at what we can do. |
