Description Michal Hlavinka 2008-12-18 11:05:56 UTC
Description of problem:
After installation, /etc/sysconfig/desktop contains two lines:

DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDM"

but /etc/X11/prefdm test DISPLAYMANAGER variable for KDE (and not KDM)

        elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then
                preferred=/usr/bin/kdm


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

Whatever wrote DISPLAYMANAGER wrote it wrong; prefdm's been this way forever.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2008-12-22 14:25:03 UTC
arg, on my f10 box I see offenders:
fedora-livecd-education-math.ks
fedora-livecd-kde.ks
doh!

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2008-12-22 14:36:35 UTC
fixed in spin-kickstarts upstream git repo.

I'll leave bug resolution to kanarip to decide (closed->upstream, issue update, etc...)

Comment 4 Jeroen van Meeuwen 2008-12-23 23:49:09 UTC
This will be in the next update to the spin-kickstarts package on F-10.
