The same error are also found in program.log that is installed without swap.

Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2012-03-19 14:15:45 UTC
There's nothing in your program.log that's a real error message.  It's just that some programs write output to stderr.  I believe the "Oh no!" message comes from gnome-shell, though.  Reassigning.

Comment 8 Hongqing Yang 2012-03-26 06:22:55 UTC
The system cannot boot into terminal one with F17 Beta RC1.

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2012-03-26 15:11:00 UTC
Proposing as Beta blocker. Sounds somehow like Shell is trying to run via llvmpipe on VESA, and failing.

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2012-03-26 17:50:08 UTC
Discussed at 2012-03-26 QA meeting, acting as a blocker review meeting. Agreed that this is a blocker per the combination of Alpha criteria "The boot menu for all installation images should include an entry which causes both installation and the installed system to use a generic, highly compatible video driver (such as 'vesa'). This mechanism should work correctly, launching the installer and attempting to use the generic driver" and "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria (or the appropriate Beta or Final criteria, when applying this criterion to those releases) must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied" - the effect of these is that a 'basic video' installation should boot to a working desktop, which this bug suggests is not the case.

Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2012-03-26 18:13:03 UTC
I just tested and can't reproduce this in a VM at least. Did a basic video install, after install, gdm and shell both run okay. Somewhat jerky, but they run.

Hongqing, what hardware did you test on? Can you please provide some logs that would be useful here? As Chris says, this isn't an anaconda issue, it's Shell failing, so look in ~/.xsession-errors , maybe /var/log/messages .

Comment 12 Hongqing Yang 2012-03-27 06:03:03 UTC
I reproduced the same error with F17 Beta RC1. Below is my hardware detail:

Comment 13 Hongqing Yang 2012-03-27 06:22:31 UTC
The ~/.xsession-errors  file does not exist.

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2012-03-27 07:04:56 UTC
Tim's 807003 seems somewhat similar - both radeons having trouble with vesa, though one generation different (r520 vs. rv620).

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2012-03-27 17:16:04 UTC
oh, if you get the 'oh no!' message when GDM should come up, look for /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log .

Comment 16 Adam Jackson 2012-03-27 17:34:16 UTC
llvmpipe was super crashy with 16bpp until very recently.  It's still broken for texture-from-pixmap but at least it won't crash.  There's a mesa update in bodhi to fix that.

ajax: is 807003 likely to be a dupe of this?
