Description Brandon Nielsen 2021-04-15 23:20:48 UTC
Description of problem: gnome-initial-setup does not start.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Tested with armhfp Workstation compose 20210415[0].


How reproducible: Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write aarch64 Workstation image ("sudo arm-image-installer --image=/home/nielsenb/Desktop/Fedora-Workstation-34-20210415.n.0.armhfp.raw.xz --target=rpi3 --media=/dev/sdb --resizefs")
2. Insert uSD card into Pi and boot
3. Wait for gnome-initial-setup


Actual results: gnome-initial-setup does not appear. Hard resetting results in no GDM (possibly related to bug #1950129).


Expected results: gnome-initial-setup to appear on first boot.


Additional info: It is possible to switch to different VTs so the system is alive. I will attempt to create a user and capture a log.

Comment 1 Brandon Nielsen 2021-04-24 00:20:54 UTC
As noted in a mailing list post[0], Fedora Workstation is not expected to run with less than 2 GB RAM. I was going to update the ARM landing page[1] to note this, but I see it is already documented in the Fedora Docs[2]. XFCE runs fine for those wanting a desktop environment on a Pi 3B+.
