This call tells me that lightdm.rpm is providing a preset file: $ repoquery -q --qf="%{name}" --whatprovides '*/lib/systemd/system-preset/*.preset' | sort -u ... lightdm ... It shouldn't do that. Preset files are something that the distribution, spins of the distribution or administrators write. They policy that is applied to the OS, and should not be shipped by any normal RPMS. For Fedora, additions to the preset file must be kept in systemd.rpm and need to be accepted by FPC. Please remove the preset file from the RPM. Thanks!

I can't quite see why, but 'fixing' this seems to have broken default activation of lightdm. It's listed in /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/90-display-manager.preset and the package scripts look to be in order, but if I build a MATE live image with 1.6.0-5 then it boots to MATE, but if I build one with 1.6.0-6 or 1.6.0-7, it boots to a console, and 'systemctl status lightdm.service' shows it disabled and not running. 'systemctl start lightdm.service' brings MATE up.
I'll revert the change for this, until the issues with it can be sorted out.
Hmm, I guess https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903690#c7 is the explanation here. Will fix this shortly.

rdieter: that comment doesn't look private, so I'll reproduce it here: "If I understand presets correctly, any product specific preset can be named: /lib/systemd/system-preset/<NUMBER < 90>-<PRODUCT>.preset e.g.: /lib/systemd/system-preset/80-RHEL-7-VARIANT-A.preset as long as it has a catchall wildcard as the last line: disable * ... which makes me question /lib/systemd/system-preset/90-display-manager.preset which should not have any effect due to disable * in /lib/systemd/system-preset/90-default.preset"
systemd-204-6.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Re-opening, because I think system 204-6 doesn't actually fix the bug that lightdm includes a preset file, right? It just makes it possible for us to take the preset out of lightdm package without breaking anything. IIUC. So now it's on Rex.
