Description chris desjardins 2007-08-07 14:26:34 EDT

Description of problem:
Deselecting GDM during DVD installation causes First Boot to not run and 
instead drops to login prompt.  

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Deselect GDM during installationg
  
Actual results:
Drops to login screen (i.e. no X)

Expected results:
I have KDE installed (and thus KDM) as I selected it during installation.  I 
would have expected KDM to boot up instead of GDM without issue.  The running 
of this wizard should not depend on whether or not GDM is installed.

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-07 14:34:54 EDT

So what's probably happening is you're ending up in runlevel 3.

Can you attach your /etc/inittab ?

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2007-08-07 14:45:21 EDT

This is expected behavior, as we only set the default runlevel to 5 if gdm is
installed.  So the question here is whether we should change that check to be
more permissive.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2007-08-07 15:13:47 EDT

This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
