Description
This is to verify that Anaconda can perform an installation over the RDP remote desktop protocol
Setup
- On one system, prepare any non-live media for booting the installer (anything except
Live.iso
) - On another system, install an RDP viewer, e.g.
vinagre
orgnome-connections
How to test
- In the initial boot menu screen, append
inst.rdp
,inst.rdp.username=(username)
andinst.rdp.password=(password)
boot options and boot the installer - The installer prints out a message similar to this and waits:
00:29:14 Starting GNOME remote desktop. 00:29:14 GNOME remote desktop is now running. 00:29:14 GNOME remote desktop RDP IP: 172.16.2.114 00:29:14 GNOME remote desktop RDP host name: rdp001.test.openqa.fedoraproject.org
- On the other system, connect your RDP viewer to the specified address, enter the specified username and password, and you should see the graphical installation
- Proceed and complete the installation with the RDP viewer
- Boot the new system and check it starts in text mode (runlevel 3):
$ runlevel N 3
Expected Results
- The installer starts the RDP server and prints out information how to connect to it
- You can connect with an RDP viewer and see the graphical installation
- The installer displays and works properly
- The installation completes successfully
- The installed system boots into runlevel 3 (text mode)
