KDE ISO 21.1 RC 2 gets stuck on boot (VMWare VM) #12
Comments
We had an issue with VirtualBox config, which hopefully is solved by now. However, we have to see about VMWare once, more, which uses the same config. |
With the |
Well it works on the Manjaro host just fine. Also the script mhwd-live calls mhwd correctly. So this issue is odd. Will test with an updated version of that config ... |
I've tested it now with the latest build shipping updated configs for VMWARE. Seems to work now: https://github.com/manjaro-gnome/download/releases/tag/202107241106. Download one of the unstable ISOs. I tested gnome minimal. |

I'm currently testing this build. I missed a package so the config was skipped and no driver installed. |
This build has the same problem that the RC2. It gets stuck in mhwd script. If I add the |

I might be on something: https://github.com/vmware/photon/blob/master/SPECS/open-vm-tools/vmtoolsd.service#L15 Since multi-user.target is not reached, enabling vmtoolsd might create the block when also trying to start it. |
But in this case WantedBy means that when isolating multi-user.target it should start vmtoolsd, but not the other way around, isn't it? If we start vmtoolsd in other target, it should still work AFAIK. I tested your latest build (unstable) and it's clear that vmtoolsd service is the key (system boots fine, vmtoolsd is enabled but not started). But is it really because of the WantedBy or is it something else? |
Well, latest build works. So it confirms my Theory. Since the mhwd-live.service runs with graphical.target it can't start services with multi-user.wants targets. Let's see how Garuda will solve it. |
seems we start it on our end before a user session gets enabled. So in the end it is tricky, as the timing of the two services is off and therefore the lockdown caused by wanted-by |
let's see if mhwd-db-0.6.5-13 fixes it by passing --no-block ... |
I think it should work. My theory is that the |

The latest KDE ISO 21.1 RC2 (manjaro-kde-21.1-210723-linux513.iso) has a bug where it gets stuck during boot in a MHWD script in a VMWare Virtual Machine (it works fine in a Virtualbox VM)
I know VMWare is an unsupported platform, but just in case it has an easy solution, because RC1 (manjaro-kde-21.1-stable-staging-minimal-210720-linux513.iso) works fine in the same virtual machine.
