Description

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. One problem with this is that the artwork is designed with 800x600 in mind, so it's likely to look a little stupid if we go to fullscreen mode. Check out rawhide to see what I mean. We also need to be sure to pull in 13ccad30fb6e46588c6ef4b5be3e9125965bea20 or livecds will act weird. Created attachment 475568 [details]
screenshot from vnc
Hi, something got broken in anaconda-13.21.91-1.el6. When vnc-mode installation is running, anaconda is not displayed correctly, see attached screenshot. I will attach logs from the installation. Tried on s390x and ppc64.
Easy:

first graphical screen
There is one more issue with graphical installation mode (both vnc and GUI in KVM). Image on the first graphical screen is not displayed correctly, it should be wider (see attachment). The same image is displayed while packages are being installed, but in this case the image is displayed correctly.
anaconda-13.21.93-1.el6
RHEL6.1-20110130.n.0
Also graphical mode using X11 forwarding on s390x needs to be fixed. Installation starts with minimal size of the window and resizes during going through the installation process. Size of the window is only increasing to hold all elements on each screen. See attachment for anaconda logs (killall -USR2 anaconda). This is with anaconda-13.21.93-1.el6 Created attachment 476403 [details]
Screenshot - different sizes of VNC 6.0 vs. 6.1
The default VNC installation has now resolution 1024x768, which doesn't look good at all. Could you please make vnc installation with default resolution 800x600, like it was in RHEL6? (see the screenshot)
Thanks

(see the screenshot) > > Thanks I just pushed the image scaling problem where the welcome graphic is scaled strangely. We're not moving back to forcing 800x600 for vnc. It looks much better now. Also, 13.21.94 contains the image scaling fixes, which is not in a nightly that you can see yet. The screenshot of comment 5 is the same as the one in bug 694760. The maximum resolution reported by xrandr is 800x600, but this is ignored by anaconda. *** Bug 694760 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #14) > The screenshot of comment 5 is the same as the one in bug 694760. The maximum > resolution reported by xrandr is 800x600, but this is ignored by anaconda. Bug #694760 was unduped from this one, so I guess you want to track it there. I'm moving this one to ON_QA. NOTE: I do not care which bug tracks this particular issue, but we only need one. Created attachment 492048 [details] logs.tar.gz I've just hit issue described in Comment 5 on i386 Client inside xen virtual machine (paravirtualized). Putting back to assigned. This is now a duplicate of bug #694760, marking it as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 694760 *** |
