Description

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

Setup

  1. On one system, prepare any non-live media for booting the installer (anything except Live.iso)
  2. On another system, install an RDP viewer, e.g. vinagre or gnome-connections

How to test

  1. In the initial boot menu screen, append inst.rdp, inst.rdp.username=(username) and inst.rdp.password=(password) boot options and boot the installer
  2. 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
    
  3. 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
  4. Proceed and complete the installation with the RDP viewer
  5. Boot the new system and check it starts in text mode (runlevel 3):
    $ runlevel 
    N 3

Expected Results

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