I have an old machine from 2008 with very old integrated graphics (GeForce 6150SE nForce 430). Up to and including F39, I was able to do a Live Workstation install simply by using the nomodeset boot option. With F40 that no longer works - it fails to come up in graphical. I ended up doing a netinstall, but it came up in text mode instead of graphical, and suggested VNC, which I was able to use to do a graphical install (necessary since I wanted to preserve /home, requiring custom partitioning). After installation, it turns out that by replacing gdm with another display manager (I used lxdm), I could even use GNOME, though screen locking, which requires gdm, doesn't work - not a big deal.
So a couple of questions. Is it possible to use VNC with a Live install? If so, can one avoid having to bring up graphical mode on the machine until after the install (since it won't work for me)? If one's intent is to go straight to the installation and skip simply running live, is there something like a boot option to allow this? I guess what I'm asking is whether it's possible to do something like a headless Live install. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
