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! Jirka
This is a change in comps xml, nothing to be done in yum code. Reassigning to releng.
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! Jirka
Brian, we need a pm_ack. I'm assigning the bug to you.
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
