Description techguy378 2016-06-07 19:08:42 UTC
Description of problem: I have a System76 laptop with an Intel Skylake Core i7-6700HQ with Intel HD 530 graphics. On the Netinstall iso image the graphical installer fails to start and falls back to text mode. I am booting in UEFI mode. This only happens on the Netinstall iso image for Fedora 24 Beta, not the regular Workstation iso image so apparently someone forgot to enable Skylake support in the kernel or an Xorg graphics driver may be missing. I tested the Netinstall image on another desktop PC with an AMD Kaveri A8 CPU and the graphical installer boots just fine.


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


How reproducible: Every time the Netinstall iso image is booted


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the Netinstall image in UEFI mode
2.
3.

Actual results: A message appears stating the graphical installer failed to start, falling back to text mode.


Expected results: The graphical installer should start.

Looks like the issue still persists.

Comment 16 Samuel Sieb 2016-10-04 21:40:38 UTC
This looks the same as bug 1318844.  Both are using DisplayPort which might be relevant.

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 21:02:49 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 18 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 14:47:44 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
