RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jiri Hladky 2019-01-22 14:34:46 UTC
Description of problem:

After you install RHEL-7.6 Server followed with the manual installation of X11 with 

yum groupinstall "Server with GUI" 

there is package xorg-x11-drv-evdev missing (not installed). At least on P50 Lenovo Laptop when starting X11 without this package, GDM will not respond as neither keyboard nor mouse are working. 

Please add "xorg-x11-drv-evdev" package to the "Server with GUI" group to resolve this problem. 


Please also note that when installing RHEL-7.6 Workstation, the package "xorg-x11-drv-evdev" is automatically installed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.6 Server

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL-7.6 Server from Anaconda using the default package selection - it means, without GUI
2. Install "Server with GUI" package group with yum groupinstall "Server with GUI"
3. Check if package xorg-x11-drv-evdev is installed: rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-evdev


4. (Optional on P50 laptop) Make GUI target the default one with the command:
systemctl set-default graphical.target
5. (Optional on P50 laptop) Start X11 with the command
systemctl isolate graphical.target
and check if mouse & keyboard are working in GDM (without xorg-x11-drv-evdev being installed, on P50 mouse and keyboard will not work) 

Actual results:
xorg-x11-drv-evdev IS NOT installed
Mouse and keyboard are not working in GDM on P50 laptop. The laptop is locked as no input method is working. (Hint - ssh still works)

Expected results:
xorg-x11-drv-evdev IS installed
On P50 laptop, mouse and keyboard are working in GDM

Thanks a lot!

Comment 2 Daniel Mach 2019-01-23 18:37:06 UTC
This is a change in comps xml, nothing to be done in yum code.
Reassigning to releng.

Comment 3 Jiri Hladky 2019-01-23 22:41:54 UTC
Thanks for reassigning BZ to the correct group!

You can use 
repoquery --groupmember xorg-x11-drv-evdev 
to check to which groups package belongs.

Currently (tested on RHEL-7.6 Server) package does not belong to any group:

[root@p50 ~]# repoquery --groupmember xorg-x11-drv-evdev 
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.10.6-1.el7.x86_64

Thanks!

Brian, we need a pm_ack. I'm assigning the bug to you.

Comment 10 Jiri Hladky 2019-04-05 18:03:56 UTC
Tested p50.tpb.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com with RHEL-7.7-20190404.n.0 Server.


$ repoquery --groupmember xorg-x11-drv-evdev 
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.10.6-1.el7.x86_64
  @x11

$ rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-evdev => no match

$ yum groupinstall "Server with GUI" -y

$ rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-evdev
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.10.6-1.el7.x86_64

It's fixed. Thank you!
Jirka
