Can you please attach the full traceback file, along with any other log files in /tmp, to this bug? How are configuring your network interface? I would like to have got more trace, but the system froze up while I was trying to do something with the bug. Now that I have the system successfully installed I'm reluctant to go through that time-consuming process again. I booted the Xfce Live CD, left clicked on the little network icon in the upper right corner, got into the screen where you set the network configuration and set it. In my case I use manual configuration, not DHCP, so I selected manual configuration and put in the IP address, netmask, gateway address and DNS address. Then it reported the network wa up and running. Then I executed the install to hard drive, went through the usual agonizing/ confusing process of setting up the hard drive partitions, got the installer running. After it did the installation and the post-install stuff it said it was saving the network configuration. It sat in that state for a long time, many minutes, while I waited for something to happen. Finally it opened the window saying an unknown error has occurred. How do I get to log files in /tmp when I'm in the middle of anaconda with the error window? If the option to report a bug from the traceback window isn't working, you can switch to a shell by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F2. Created attachment 793903 [details]

Then I repeated the installation but without configuring the network first, and as usual it worked correctly. This happens alos with F20 Alpha TC3, Live DVD. The case is configuring a network device before starting installation, having no more than one wired device. After talking to Radek, this is the simplest reproducer: 1. Boot Live image 2. Before running Anaconda, changed wired configuration. Anything that dumps a new config file should be sufficient, probably a change in profile name or disabling ipv6 should be enough. Or you can reconfigure your IP/netmask/dhcp to be sure. 3. Start Anaconda, start installation 4. At the end of the installation, there will be a traceback. Some parts of the system will stay unconfigured, probably a bootloader won't be installed either. Workaround: If you need to configure your wired network, do it after you start Anaconda. That shouldn't crash it. Wireless network should not be affected by this bug. Proposing as Final Blocker. This is a violation of "The installer must run when launched normally from the release-blocking images." [1] for cases where you need to configure your connection manually, but I don't feel this is common enough to block Alpha or Beta. Radek also requested to propose this as Alpha Freeze Exception, he'd like to have it fixed in Alpha, even though the fix will probably not be fully contained and might affect other areas.

Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing anaconda-20.12-1.fc20' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-16040/anaconda-20.12-1.fc20 then log in and leave karma (feedback). anaconda-20.13-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.13-1.fc20 anaconda-20.14-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.14-1.fc20 anaconda-20.15-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.15-1.fc20 anaconda-20.16-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.16-1.fc20 anaconda-20.17-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.17-1.fc20 I have tested with F20 Alpha RC3 using reproducer in comment 12. The problem is gone, no crashed, installed system is configured properly. anaconda-20.17-1.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository.
