Description Renaud Métrich 2021-06-15 08:01:15 UTC
Description of problem:

This is a continuation of BZ #1970384.
When installing a system with STIG profile, usbguard gets installed and doesn't have any rule to allow a USB mouse and keyboard to work. Hence, only a PS/2 mouse and keyboard can be used for the initial setup.

Trying such installation on my libvirt QEMU/KVM, I get 2 pointing devices by default:
 - a USB tablet
 - a PS/2 mouse and keyboard

It appears that the USB tablet doesn't work (for reason above related to usbguard) but also the PS/2 mouse and keyboard doesn't work either in the initial setup.
This seems due to the X configuration being used that only enables 1 pointing device (the USB one, which doesn't work due to usbguard).


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

initial-setup-gui-0.3.81.7-1 (RHEL8.4)


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install a libvirt QEMU/KVM with RHEL8.4 DVD and STIG profile

  On a 20GB disk, specify the following sizes for the various required partitions:
  - / 8GiB
  - swap 2GiB
  - /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/log, /var/log/audit 1GiB each
  - /home 200MiB
  - /var 4GiB

2. Boot the installed system

Actual results:

  First boot wizard shows up and it's not possible to click on the items

Expected results:

  Can click

Additional info:

Even once BZ #1970384 we shall make sure that all pointing devices are enabled, since we cannot know how the admin will finish the installation.
