Description Akira TAGOH 2023-09-22 06:59:21 UTC 
Starting "Install to Hard Drive" icon at the desktop doesn't show any GUI window on LXDE Live spin.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot from Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-39-20230920.n.0.iso
2.update anaconda packages to 39.32.3-1.fc39 (which is the latest at this moment)
3.Double-click "Install to Hard Drive" icon at the desktop
Actual Results:  
No GUI window

Expected Results:  
anaconda should works


What I got from lxterminal:
liveuser@localhost-live:~$ liveinst 
localuser:root being added to access control list
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 39.32.3-1.fc39 for Fedora 39 (pre-release) started.
 * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
 * shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)
 * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments

X or window manager startup failed, falling back to text mode.

Also, still fails with sudo liveinst or so
Comment 1 a.trubitsyn 2023-12-03 16:27:13 UTC 
I have same problem with Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-39-1.5.iso 
It is latest iso. 
There is not LXDE flavor in https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respins/ at the moment.

1. boot from liveusb
2. start Desktop shortcut - see spinning wheel, then it disappear
For clear test
1. reboot from liveusb
2. type in lxterminal
   sudo /usb/bin/liveinst

*** Bug 2248914 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Neal Gompa 2023-12-15 01:25:55 UTC 
anaconda-liveinst is an EPEL only package that just ships a launcher file. Reassigning back to anaconda.
Comment 6 Alessio 2024-01-02 20:13:11 UTC 
*** Bug 2256507 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 7 Alessio 2024-01-02 20:14:29 UTC 
Open the terminal and issue this command:
sudo dbus-launch liveinst

Could it be a workaround?
Comment 8 Kamil Páral 2024-01-03 12:19:33 UTC 
(In reply to Alessio from comment #7)
> Open the terminal and issue this command:
> sudo dbus-launch liveinst

I can confirm that makes the installer start on F39 (Final) LXDE Live iso.
Comment 9 Katerina Koukiou 2024-01-15 19:01:10 UTC 
Probably this is a fix, did not test it: https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/pull-request/1013
Comment 10 Geraldo Simião 2024-03-11 19:28:25 UTC 
Well, PR closed and no fix. 
Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-40-20240306.n.0.iso still have this bug.
Comment 11 Kamil Páral 2024-03-22 09:18:34 UTC 
Confirmed, still present in F40 Beta.
Comment 12 a.trubitsyn 2024-03-23 16:11:34 UTC 
Yes. Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-40-20240322.n.0.iso still have this bug.
Comment 13 Glenn Johnson 2024-05-02 07:14:43 UTC 
Can confirm that the bug still exists and that the proposed workaround, sudo dbus-launch liveinst, works well.
