FC18 Installation: No X comes

[j.halifax2 at seznam.cz]

Hello Harald,



Thank you for your kind help.




FC18 has a completly rewritten grub and behaves strange way.

Sometimes the USB stik boots, other time the same one doesn't. 

I haven't got any option in anaconda what to choose. When I finally

got FC18 installed only multiuser target came as there was de.mo 

missing. I had to copy it from other place, install "Basic X Window 

System" and "GNOME Desktop" and then I could run startx. ;)




When I link the GUI as a default target, the one-color screen comes

with can be switched for 4 working spaces. Right click gives some

functions, some of them works, others don't. Probably also some

installations are needed. Hopefully the FC19 will be more mature. ;)




Thank you so much !

jh

what is a "switchable workspace"?

most likely you are missing the display-manager
but we do not know which DE you use (GNOME, KDE..)

on KDE systems (i do not use anything else)
systemctl enable kdm.service
systemctl start kdm.service

what i do not understand is why you do a MINIMAL install instead
select your prefrerred desktop from the very begin in anaconda
to be installed.............."
