Description František Zatloukal 2019-08-30 10:29:15 UTC
Description of problem:
If the system is installed via Basic Video Driver boot option (which appends nomodeset to kernel parameters), it should be present also on installed system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-31.22.2-1.fc31.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora Workstation Live/Basic Video Driver
2. Proceed with installation
3. Boot installed system

Actual results:
Installed system is ran without nomodeset kernel parameter.

Expected results:
When the installation is done from Basic Video Driver, installed system should contain nomodeset too.

Additional info:
Testing was done in UEFI mode.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-08-30 10:31:25 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 31-final by Fedora user frantisekz using the blocker tracking app because:

 QA:Testcase Anaconda User Interface Basic Video Driver: The installed system should contain nomodeset keyword specified in the kernel boot line.

Comment 2 Geoffrey Marr 2019-09-03 22:10:07 UTC
Discussed during the 2019-09-03 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedFreezeException" and "AcceptedBlocker" was made as it violates the following criterion:

"The generic video driver option ('basic graphics mode'...) on all release-blocking installer and live images must function as intended (launching the installer or desktop and attempting to use a generic driver)...", and as a Beta freeze exception as a significant installer issue worth fixing.

I cannot reproduce the bug. Could you attach logs from the installation, please?

Comment 4 František Zatloukal 2019-09-05 11:30:04 UTC
Hmm, weird, I cannot reproduce it either right now. I must've overlooked something, sorry for the noise.
