Apparently, there's a conflict between release and updates on who owns
/etc/xdg/menus/mate-preferences-categoris.menu, and anaconda just
crashes and reboots (not even a traceback) on an install transaction
failure.
Ouch. Is this with updates repository enabled, or not?
After a few passes through that before I figured out anaconda was
not
going to install MATE (with frustrating waits for downloads each time),
I gave up and did a minimal install. Then I did a dnf groupinstall
MATE, and that downloaded all the RPMs, then gave me the error about the
file conflict. I tried to exclude one of the choices, use --best, etc.,
and nothing would solve it.
Yeah, if there's a conflict between packages that are all dependencies,
no flags will help. The RPMs need to be fixed.
Now, when I get to the graphical login, my USB is dead. I can boot
single-user mode and the keyboard works fine; as soon as the graphical
login loads, USB appears dead (keyabord is like it is powered off, no
Numlock, Capslock, etc.). Tried unplugging keyboard, moving it to
different USB ports (directly on the computer instead of hub), etc. with
no result. The fact that the keyboard works in single-user mode shows
there's no hardware problem, Linux USB issue, etc.
This, and the above, probably needs to be brought up with the MATE
Compiz spin team, and possibly MATE upstream. The spins page gives
#fedora-mate as a place to talk with the developers (as well as this
list, although I'm not sure I've seen the developers active here).
