Description of problem: Not sure if this issue should go to anaconda or vnc developers please reassign if it should be vnc... Doing a VNC install on my HP Integrity (ia64) servers the installer dies quickly with the following: Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'mini-wm' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest'. (Details: serial 72 error_code 1 request_code 146 minor_code 2) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) aborting... at this point I can still connect to the vnc server which is still running but nothing is running in it (i.e. no window manager or installer, just a mouse pointer). This is the first I have done a VNC install on rawhide however one of my HP co-workers did a VNC install a couple weeks back that worked OK so it appears this may be a recent issue. He was using the 0425 build of rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide-20060516 vnc-server-4.1.1-38 anaconda-11.1.0.11-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot installer with "vnc vncpassword=redhat" 2. wait for anaconda to start vnc 3. see error messages Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Working in recent builds. Verified on rawhide-20060623.
