Still current in RC5.
Correcting "Actual results:"
6. X seems to terminate with failure
7. Initial "check media" shows up briefly and keyboard interrupt
is printed to it, adding control chars eg. "]'"
8. KDM is restarted, login screen appears
("liveuser" pre-filled as user name)
9. Pressing [Enter] again fails to open a session, but loops to step 6.
10. Pressing [Enter] faster twice (i.e. during step 7.)
will stop KDM to be restarted (stay forever at step 7.)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: "Check media" (advanced boot option) exposes keyboard interrupts to KDM, leading to session start fail. If selecting advanced boot option to "check media then launch Fedora", then at any stage during KDM session preparation (from first icon being displayed in the splash screen), pressing eg. [Enter] restarts X and leads to failure of the LiveCD session start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Live 16 KDE RC2 RC3 RC4 (didn't try earlier images) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from LiveCD 2. Select Troubleshooting/Check media then launch 3. Let the pass complete, or [Esc] to cancel 4. Let KDM splash start 5. Press [Enter] Actual results: 6. X seems to terminate with failure 7. Initial "check media" shows up briefly and keyboard interrupt is printed to it, adding control chars eg. "]'" 8. KDM is restarted, login screen appears ("liveuser" pre-filled as user name) 9. Pressing [Enter] again fails to open a session, but loops to step a. 10. Pressing [Enter] faster twice (i.e. during b.) will stop KDM to be restarted (stay forever at step b.) Expected results: None : [Enter] key is safely ignored, KDM keeps loading session Additional info: Hardware is Asus V1S laptop. There is no such behaviour unless choosing the media check option. In normal boot, [Enter] key is safely ignored. I noticed this while experiencing abnormal delay with sound warning played, during KDM session preparation. LiveCD is functional on this laptop, despite other issue. See attachments (screen caps and logs) in bug 750423
