Actually it proceeds to the next screen eventually, even in VM. It just takes a long time (30 seconds or more). I guess it depends on the network speed and mirror selection. My guess is that anaconda threading is broken somewhere and the GUI waits until a (part of) metadata is downloaded, only then it is refreshed. This occurs on both architectures, VM and bare metal. There's no such problem with DVD. Proposing as a Final blocker and an Alpha freeze exception. Lukas, please wait until the screen is refreshed and then append logs, thanks. It does have white screen after language screen but only 5-10 sec here in VirtualBox on i7 with cable access. (RC-2 x86_64 boot from.iso -1440 memory in VB) Yes, it took a very long time for me with the netinst (over a minute with my 3 Mb/s DSL) but eventually proceeded. With the DVD, it proceeds quickly, presumably since it doesn't have to download. anaconda-20.16-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.16-1.fc20 Package anaconda-20.16-1.fc20: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 20 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing anaconda-20.16-1.fc20' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-16735/anaconda-20.16-1.fc20 then log in and leave karma (feedback). anaconda-20.17-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.17-1.fc20 Seems that anaconda 20.17-1 solved the problem for me Yes, F20 Alpha RC3 netinst is quick again when showing the main screen. Discussed in 2013-09-18 blocker review meeting [1]. While not a release blocking issue, this bug is an annoyance and would be good to fix before f20 alpha release. A tested fix would be considered past freeze. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-09-18/ anaconda-20.17-1.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
