Where to report test results with Fedora-Sway-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20230209.n.0

[Sampson Fung]

I am running the liveinst from the Sway Live ISO in virt-manager.

Is this the right place to report results, or I should be reporting in other lists?

Hi,

feel free to use this list.

Best Regards,

Thank you.

After booting the ISO under virt-manager, the "installation instruction" dispaly as desktop background does not work.

What I did finally is pressing "Meta-Enter" to open a terminal, then run `liveinst` .

After installation done, reboot, I only got a Black screen.  I can goto other console by sending Alt-F3, etc.  Login at console using ID/password created during Installation OK.

What should I further test at the console?

Hi,

sorry for late reply. Seems that your issue with the installer will be fixed by:

https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/sway/sway-config-fedora/-/merge_requests/11

Issue with black screen after installation could be for example drivers. Could you please provide journal output somewhere so we can take a look?

Tested with Fedora-Sway-Live-x86_64-38_20230215.n.0.iso (with virt-manager) .

Installation guide: still cannot start "liveinst" via Meta-d
Black screen on reboot: still happen.

sudo journalctl output at:
https://paste.centos.org/view/2c7ab6274

[Sampson Fung]

I further tested this:

- goto console, login, then
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
systemctl reboot

After text mode logon, then run
sudo systemctl start graphical.target

I got the graphical logon, and desktop loaded ok this way.

I then change default back to graphical.target, reboot.  Got black screen again.

Hi, yes I know. I'm just doing build, so you need to wait a day or two until it's propagated to build.

Thank you very much!

With Fedora-Sway-Live-x86_64-38-20230217.n.0
Meta-d -> liveinst  can launch the installer now.  Installation can complete without issues.

The reboot into Black screen issue still there.

The work around still works
- boot into multiuser.target
- start graphical.target manually

[Sampson Fung]

The Black Screen issue is already fix in Fedora-Sway-Live-x86_64-38-20230301.n.0

That is great to hear.

20230218 still have the Black Screen issue under Virt-Manager.

But further testing on baremetal, I can got the GUI login screen without issues.

Hi,

great to hear you it's working fine on bare metal.

Just want to confirm. Do you have graphics HW acceleration enabled on VM? Sway requires it.

When doing the Installation:
- virt-manager defaults - Black Screen
- Manual change Spice to enable Open GL & Graphics to enable 3D accelleration.  Black screen
