Description Jared Smith 2011-09-16 22:56:04 UTC

Description of problem:

I installed the LiveCD for Fedora 16 Beta RC1 to a usb key (using livecd-iso-to-disk), and booted off of the USB key.  Graphical firstboot started before GDM, even though /etc/sysconfig/firstboot has RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO.


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

firstboot-16.3-1.fc16.i686

How reproducible:

Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from the Fedora 16 Beta RC1 Live Desktop image
2. Notice that graphical firstboot starts
3. Press Alt-F4 to skip firstboot
4. Go to a TTY, log in, and look at the contents of /etc/sysconfig/firstboot
  
Actual results:

Graphical firstboot started before GDM

Expected results:

Graphical firstboot should not have run

Additional info:

I verified with the QA team in #fedora-qa that they're seeing this too.

er, you did? I chatted with you a bit, but I didn't say I'm seeing this. I'm not. I tested it, and couldn't get the same thing, either in graphical or text mode. Trying to call firstboot directly also caused it to quit immediately, as it should.

does firstboot run if you simply call it directly?

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2011-09-22 01:03:39 UTC

Discussed at the 2011-09-21 go/no-go meeting (note: in #fedora-meeting-1),
acting as a blocker review meeting. Agreed to leave this one till Friday, as it's potentially a serious issue, but no-one besides Jared can reproduce it, or see how it could be possible. Jared, please look into this more closely and try to figure out how the check in /etc/init.d/firstboot is being circumvented in your case. thanks!

Comment 3 Martin Gracik 2011-09-22 06:50:51 UTC

You mean firstboot started when you booted the livecd? Not the installed system?

Comment 4 Jared Smith 2011-09-22 21:24:10 UTC

Yes, firstboot started when I booted the LiveCD (before I had a chance to install the system), but I've since re-installed the LiveCD image to my USB key, and am no longer seeing that behavior.  Not sure what (if anything) is different, besides the fact that maybe the SELinux bug was somehow having an effect.  Let's go ahead and close this bug, and I'll re-open it if I can reproduce it in my testing again.
