Hello, trying to test https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731245 as from the message [Test-Announce] Remaining F16 blockers and F16 planning I installed from f16tc2 vmlinuz+initrd.img inside a kvm guest with direct kernel boot. host is f15+virt-preview and selected spice as video adapter At sw selection during install I chose to: - customize - select kde - deselect gnome Installation completed but at first boot I completed the normal user definition and sent profile, but then instead of login window I get a window with message: failed to load session "gdm-shell" and a logout button I would expect kdm instead of gdm.... and kdm has been installed [root@f16tc2 ~]# type kdm kdm is /usr/bin/kdm The same flow but leaving default (gnome selected during install and no selection for kde) leads to a system where I can correctly use gdm, instead.... Are my install choices supported? In that case any files I can provide ?
