Description of problem: I'm not sure what is responsible for this, but after installation of XFCE lightdm.service isn't enabled and default display manager is not set, so after reboot it boots only into console login. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F18 from TC3 release, XFCE desktop 2. Reboot Actual results: it boots into console login Expected results: it should boot into graphical login (DM) Additional info: As I said, I'm not sure what is responsible for setting default display manager after installation and neither kdm.service nor lxdm.service starts (in KDE and LXDE), so I'm going to report it to anaconda too.
Good question, according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DisplayManagerRework spins can set DM's via presets and one can manually run: systemctl enable --force lightdm.service but it's unclear how to make stuff "just work" otherwise.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850775#c8, here Lennart explains, how should it work.
all right, so the various spins must ship a presets file. Nothing we can do here in the dm packages.
ok, so that handles how spins do it, but I'm concerned about dvd (or network) installs too.
I have tried it and it works both in live XFCE media and in DVD install now (perhaps some changes in lightdm package), so I'm closing this bug.
