Hi Tim, not that I’m aware. Although if you’re having problems with Pungi install DVD, maybe add that detail to the bug report as I don’t think anyone else has yet.

All,

Has anyone made any progress on this?

I’m getting an almost identical issue with X crashing on Install from a Pungi spun DVD. X.log shows issues with KDSKBMODE K_RAW failing and a general I/O error… Running anaconda from the shell after it crashes works fine…

Ahhh, sorry, didn’t realise you were making a DVD. I haven’t done much of that, so prob no help to you. I’d be booting with basic video mode, but it sounds like systemd race condition to me.

First note that I’m creating a DVD install image. If I let it to load automatically, it doesn’t. (mouse appears for a few seconds but then everything disappears, looks like that anaconda has crashed and X is terminated).

However, once I got a shell without running anaconda, and when I run anaconda from shell, it worked. I don’t know why!

Hey Hedayat,

See if running this first makes it work:
xhost +

I only had the problem in KDE, not in GNOME (apparently it’s because KDM loads too fast, and to me it seems like a systemd bug).

Hi,
I’ve yet to get any logs, but in the process of creating my Parsidora images I’ve encountered an issue that the installer won’t run. It might be the same problem as yours. Unfortunately, currently I can only boot the DVD in a virtual machine and couldn’t get any logs yet.
