Hi folks! A few weeks back we asked for testing of 'basic graphics mode' / nomodeset booting - the feedback from that was very helpful in establishing that we had a generic issue which dated back to Fedora 29, thanks a lot. We have now established more or less what that initial issue is, and work is ongoing to get it fixed entirely. However, it's already been fixed *partially*, and that revealed a subsequent bug. The initial bug is fixed for the case of UEFI native boots (it is not fixed for BIOS native boots yet). However, in testing, I and others found that several UEFI test systems still do not boot successfully to GDM, because they run into a *different* bug later: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693409 This bug can be identified by the presence of the following string in the journal: "(EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices" (yes, with a bunch of spaces - but just the first part of the line is sufficient to identify the problem, I think). It would be great if folks with UEFI-capable systems could try booting a recent Fedora 30 Workstation live image on them, e.g. this one: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-30-20190408.n.0/compose/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-20190408.n.0.iso ensure you boot in UEFI mode. Please report back whether it works. If it doesn't work, please check the logs - you should be able to log into a console on tty3 (ctrl-alt-f3 to get there) as root with no password, then run 'journalctl -b' to see the logs - and report if that line is present or not. If it isn't, it'd be useful to know if some other error message is present. Thanks a lot, folks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
