RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 of problem:
During installation I selected only the patterns "General Purpose Desktop" and "KDE Desktop". After the installation finished the system boots but nothing changes anymore after the message "Starting crond:".

After switching to another vt I checked the installed packages and the xserver package xorg-x11-server-Xorg didn't get installed. My guess is that's the problem

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6-snap2 Workstation

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select only patterns "General Purpose Desktop" and "KDE Desktop" during installation
  
Actual results:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg seems to be missing in the installed system

Expected results:
working desktop

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Nothing in either of these groups depends upon the X server being installed.  We're already talking about this in terms of gdm, so I'm reassigning to them as they are aware of the problem.

This is no different than RHEL 5 or Fedora. The X server is part of a different install group.
