</I>>><i> 'Twas brillig, and Olivier Thauvin at 06/03/12 12:38 did gyre and gimble:
</I>>>>><i> No text terminal at all? Not on tty2 or 3?
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Indeed, alt + F2 show the login prompt. But before I pressed alt + F2 ps
</I>>>><i> was not showing any "*getty" program, a bit confusing, especially since
</I>>>><i> there is nothing on first console.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Just to expand on this point.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> getty's are started on demand these days. It's done by <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">autovt at .service.</A>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> If you want to configure static gettys then you can do so easily enough
</I>>><i> (just symlink /lib/systemd/system/getty*.service as
</I>>><i> /etc/systemd/systemd/multi-user.target.wants/<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">getty at tty2.service</A> to get a
</I>>><i> static getty on tty2.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> But if your system is typically a graphical system, then why bother
</I>>><i> stating it statically and have it running all the time using resources.
</I>>><i> Auto-activation seems fine as a default setup to me.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Now, the problem you seemed to get was that no dm was installed and thus
</I>>><i> the /etc/X11/prefdm script reached the end.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> IMO we very much DO want to have something done at the end of this
</I>>><i> script to give the user some help. This might include stopping
</I>>><i> prefdm.service via systemd and starting the tty, or perhaps better,
</I>>><i> showing some specific help (either text, or via plymouth or similar).
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> This is something that I've suggested in a bug, but no feedback on that
</I>>><i> idea yet:
</I>>><i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4750">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4750</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Bug 4750 - Unable to install Mageia beta 1 with raid ahci ???
</I>><i>
</I>><i> are you sure it is this one?
</I>
Crap. I have too many tabs!!!
