No Welcome Screen On Live ISO

Trying to install Fedora for the first time. But I’m just greeted with a picture of a Space Shuttle with no visible Welcome Screen.

Welcome to Fedora :wink:

Can you post a screenshot and give more details of our system and how you logged in.

Thanks for the reply.

It’s just the background image without the actual dialog for login in. I guess I can take a picture with my phone. But its just missing the “Welcome to Fedora Linux” dialog shown in this video:

Did you reboot after the installation completed?
The welcome screen does not appear, nor does the background image with the space shuttle appear, until after you actually log in, then click on the background image (which appears smaller than the display screen size until selected with a mouse click).

The installer never completes. It just sits there showing the picture of a Space shuttle. I left it running for 30 minutes. And as it never installed, I can just reboot back into Window’s.

As in the video I time stamped. I expected to see the “Welcome To Fedora Linux” dialog that shows a button with the option to Install Fedora. I don’t see anything, just the background picture.

Is there some log generated somewhere?

This means you don’t even get to see the Anaconda installer and start the installation.

Do you get the Activity screen (with the list of available apps in the live ISO) when pressing Meta+A (or Win+A)? If yes, do you see the Installer? What happens when you start it?

If it doesn’t start, check if the process is already running, either from the CLI or from the System Monitor GUI app, if available in the live session.

You might also want to share details about your system.

liveinst is the name of the installer app, should you search for the name of the app among running processes. You could also try starting it from the terminal to check for error messages. For even more details you could also use journalctl -f, which would show recent journal entries and continuously display new entries in real-time.
