Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jayant Bhatia 2023-05-04 00:57:12 UTC
Description of problem:

When the use_graphical_installer boolean is set to `true` for kickstart the %post snippet will run `chvt 1` which is not the right VTTY for the installer to complete.

This is upstream in https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/36134. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-6.13


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:

When %post completes it tries to change to the incorrect terminal.  Anaconda detects a process is still running in %post (namely the new terminal open) and the installation doesn't complete until someone presses CTRL+ALT+F6


Actual results: Graphical kickstart hangs forever


Expected results: If there was a way to just store the current vtty, that would be great.

Hello Team,

I see this has been marked as triaged and workaround. Forgive me, but I am not seeing the workaround. Could you please advise?

Very Respectfully,

Sam

Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2023-11-08 12:02:26 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/36134 has been resolved.

Comment 7 sganar 2023-12-18 13:56:25 UTC
Verified.

Tested on Satellite 6.15.0 Snap 3.0

Steps followed: 
1. Configure Satellite for provisioning
2. Create a host using host parameter -> `use_graphical_installer` boolean set to `true`

Observation: 
Graphical kickstart does not hang now and the Provisioning is successful
