Description

This test verifies the vnc option vncpassword work as expected. See Anaconda/Options for more information.

Setup

  • Requires two systems able to communicate over the network, one to test the installation and a second to initiate the VNC client session
  • Install a VNC client application. The package tigervnc or vinagre can be used. This test will use
    yum install /usr/bin/vinagre

How to test

  1. Boot the installer with the following command-line options (added as a kernel option in boot selection screen). Replace <password> with a password of your choosing.
    vnc vncpassword=<password>
    
  2. Watch the text messages printed out, you should see something like this:
    Running anaconda 15.31, the Fedora system installer - please wait.             
    09:59:01 Starting VNC...
    09:59:02 The VNC server is now running.
    09:59:02 
    
    You chose to execute vnc with a password.
    
    09:59:02 Please manually connect your vnc client to 192.168.1.17:1 to begin the install.
    09:59:02 Starting graphical installation.
    
  3. Using a VNC client, connect to the specified address. When prompted, enter the password provided in the previous step.
    vinagre 192.168.1.17:1
    
  4. Using the VNC client session, complete the installation as desired

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda starts Xvnc properly
  2. User can connect with VNC client using a valid password
  3. VNC works normally during installation (mouse, keyboard)
  4. Anaconda completes successfully
  5. Reboot successfully into installed system
