| Summary | 0017941: Install CentOS 8.3.2011 from DVD iso on VirtualBox VM results in unusable system | ||||
| Description | I installed CentOS 8.3 from a CentOS-8.3.2011-x86_64-dvd1.iso image file onto a VirtualBox 6.1.16 VM. The installation went smoothly, I chose "Workstation" and "GNOME applications". However, after completing the installation, I logged into the system and tried launching the Terminal application. It crashed after a few seconds, without ever displaying the terminal window. I tried updating and rebooting, but nothing changed. I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions, rebooted, but still got the same behaviour. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | On a PC running CentOS 7.9: Run dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/virtualbox.repo Run dnf install VirtualBox-6.1 Download the CentOS-8.3.2011-x86_64-dvd1.iso image file from the CentOS web site Create a new virtual machine: I used 4 GB RAM, 64 GB HD, 2 processors. Insert the iso image in the virtual CD-ROM drive. Boot the machine and perform the installation. From the software selection scren choose "Workstation" as installation type and "GNOME applications" from the additional software list. complete the installation, reboot and login. From the Activities view launch Terminal. | ||||
| Additional Information | I don't know if it is related, but at the first reboot I noticed that the installed kernel was a CentOS Stream one. After the update the new kernel was the CentOS 8 one I expected. I managed to obtain a working 8.3 graphical installation by using the CentOS-8.2.2004-x86_64-boot.iso image. I attached an excerpt of my VM's /var/log/messages file. | ||||
