"dnf grouplist" does not list all available groups

[Vinu Moses]

Hello,

I'm using F24_RC-1.2. After a fresh install of the server variant
(Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-24-1.2.iso), when I try to list all available groups with
"dnf grouplist", I do not get all available groups. For example, groups like
gnome and virtualization are not listed. However, when I do a "dnf groupinfo
virtualization", I do get information about the missing group.

Why does "dnf grouplist" not list all available groups? Is there any alternative
dnf command to list these "hidden" groups?

Output of "dnf grouplist" and "dnf groupinfo virtualization" given
below for reference:

It's by design. In comps, groups can be marked 'user visible' true or
false. Ones that are not 'user visible' do not appear in anaconda's UI
or in a simple 'dnf grouplist'...

...well. Er. I think there used to be for yum. I'm not so sure there is
for dnf, I poked around a bit but can't find anything. You can see them
by looking in the comps repo, though:

"dnf grouplist hidden" works as in yum. But it
seems undocumented. /Lef

Thanks for investigation. If it works, then we'll document it.

Isn't it only fitting to have a hidden command to list hidden groups? :P

Thank you everyone for the replies.

"dnf grouplist hidden" works for me. I'd be grateful if it could be
documented in the dnf man page.

You can use dnf grouplist hidden. If you want to add the short name (the
old ids in yum) you can add the -v option.

So the old
*# yum group list ids hidden*
becomes
*#dnf group list hidden -v*
