It would be nice if this bug was addressed, as it keeps LXDE from being installed to the hard drive. I am not sure it is an anaconda issue, but I don't know the best categorization for it.

Comment 2 Christoph Wickert 2013-12-11 18:56:21 UTC
I just tested the installation with Fedora-Live-LXDE-x86_64-20-TC4.iso and it works as expected.

Comment 3 jeff 2014-01-16 21:13:26 UTC
It doesn't work on my hardware, though mageia and windows xp installs and runs flawlessly. This is also the 32 bit version I am reporting the bug on, not the 64 bit version.

The 64 bit version works fine for me on vmware, so I agree it is ok with 64 bits and different hardware.

Comment 4 bugzilla 2014-02-09 12:17:57 UTC
Not OK on 64 bit. I deleted my drive completly with cfdisk, started the installer and it came up. Had to reboot - now the installer does not come up, with the same message: Inhibit all polling failed... (when i start liveinst from command line).
I will restart now and see if that fixes it

This is btw. stable, not rawhide nor beta or such!

Comment 6 Edwind Richzendy Contreras Soto 2014-02-09 16:32:31 UTC
Hi,

I have that same problem over stable livecd, i can run the liveinst program after update polkit package:


yum install polkit

(over livecd)

Comment 7 Jason Sipula 2014-08-13 19:19:39 UTC
Updating polkit worked for me (it was already installed)

System:

P4 @ 2.4Ghz, 2GB DDR, 30GB IDE HDD, Fedora 20 LXDE Spin 32bit - Live CD
