Description

This is to verify that Anaconda can perform an installation over the VNC remote desktop protocol

Setup

  1. Prepare any non-live media for booting the installer (anything except Live.iso)

How to test

  1. In the initial boot menu screen, append inst.vnc boot option and boot the installer
  2. Watch the text messages printed out, you should see something like this:
    09:12:24 Starting VNC...
    09:12:25 The VNC server is now running.
    09:12:25 
    
    WARNING!!! VNC server running with NO PASSWORD!
    You can use the vncpassword=<password> boot option
    if you would like to secure the server.
    
    09:12:25 Please manually connect your vnc client to 192.168.1.17:1 to begin the install.
    
  3. Connect with a VNC client (vncviewer, vinagre) to the specified address, you should see the graphical installation:
    vinagre 192.168.1.17:1
    
  4. Proceed and complete the installation with the VNC client.
  5. Boot the new system and check it starts in the text mode (runlevel 3):
    $ runlevel 
    N 3

Expected Results

  1. The installer starts the VNC server and prints out information how to connect to it
  2. User can connect with a VNC client and see graphical installation
  3. The installer displays and works properly
  4. The installation completes successfully
  5. The installed system boots into runlevel 3 (text mode)
