keyboard not detected, yum groups missing

[Adam Pribyl]

As there is still not yet a pre-release build and time is getting short I 
tried to install rawhide from 13.Apr with boot.iso over network.

This is HP Pavilion with Athlon 64 X2 CPU, but I tried to install i386. I 
was not able to get with installation past first dialog, because PS2 
keyboard is always lost. This was true for both i386 graphical and i386 
textmode install.

Then I tried x86_64 version - this one looses keyboard after GUI is 
started. The only way to install was x86_64 textmode.

After install keyboard and mouse works.. but to get past install was 
pretty tricky - this was "failover" method...

After default netinstall I tried to add KDE group. yum grouplist lists the
KDE (K Desktop Environment) isw listed twice as available group, but you 
can not install it
# yum groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)'
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Group Process
No packages in any requested group available to install or update

You are right - but why that? grouplist shows something else, in F8 
supplying the full name was OK...

Thanx anyway.

I wasn't aware that the behavior changed, but the subtitle in parenthesis should 
never have really been part of the group name (AFAIK).  I believe it was always 
just there as clarification since there are group names that include more, such 
as GNOME and GNOME Software Development.  If may have been a quirky behavior in 
yum that was fixed to be consistent, or perhaps it is actually a regression, I 
am not sure.  Feel free to check bugzilla for anything about that, or perhaps 
yum upstream mailing list.

Did you use quotes with the full name?

Yes, I tried both quites:
# yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Group Process
No packages in any requested group available to install or update

Seems to work here for me, what version of yum?

Wait wait, I bet it's less than yum-3.2.14-10.fc9, AND you have livna
repos enabled?

Two things.  1) ask livna to stop having numerous groups looking very
much the same:

KDE (K Desktop Environment)
 KDE (K Desktop Environment)
 KDE Software Development

2) yum-3.2.14-10.fc9 handles this situation the best it can.

yum-3.2.14-2.fc9.noarch

You are right - I found the same thing now. It's because there are several 
groups with same name. I'll bug it to livna - btw: how do I find which 
repo this group comes from?

Wierd, worked for me, using yum-3-2.14-10.fc9

I always use the shorter and easier to type:
yum groupinstall kde-desktop
