Description Mark McLoughlin 2009-01-16 12:08:52 UTC

Just tried to install an x86_64 KVM guest with rawhide-20090116 and "console=ttyS0 vnc method=..." cmdline

Failed with:

Ah, is this the switch to tightvnc?

Package vnc-libs is obsoleted by tightvnc-server-module, trying to install tightvnc-server-module-1.5.0-0.9.20081120svn3200.fc11.x86_64 instead

Yep, looks like that's the problem.  I think it must be because we're no longer grabbing the X extention module though we are grabbing the other packages and files.  This should be fixed in the next version of anaconda.

Comment 3 Adam Tkac 2009-01-19 14:31:08 UTC

You should install tightvnc-server package instead of vnc-libs and vnc-server packages in rawhide.

Comment 4 Mark McLoughlin 2009-01-19 14:36:21 UTC

That's what he did, see here:

Working fine for me with 20090120 rawhide

Well, this commit is right but you don't have to include tightvnc-server-module package. It contains libvnc.so module to Xorg and depends on xorg-x11-server-Xorg. tightvnc-server-module is not needed for "raw" Xvnc. You can probably save some MB when you exclude it from install root.
