Description Stephen Gallagher 2014-08-27 16:11:44 UTC

Description of problem:
Anaconda crashes with the error message "Fatal I/O Error 11 (Resource temporarily unvailable) on X server :1."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Unsure; whatever was on the TC4 media

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an F21 Server VM over the network, pointing at "http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21-Alpha-TC4/Server/x86_64/os/"
2. Select only the default options

Actual results:
Installation should complete successfully.

Expected results:
Installation crashes with the above message.

Additional info:
It is possible that this is related to a wide ongoing US network outage and not Fedora's fault. Installing Fedora Server 21 Alpha TC4 from the DVD ISO works correctly.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2014-08-27 16:13:31 UTC

Proposed as a Blocker for 21-alpha by Fedora user sgallagh using the blocker tracking app because:

 "When doing a graphical install using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to install each of the release blocking desktops, as well as the minimal package set."

Please attach the log files from /tmp to this bug as individual, text/plain attachments.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2014-08-27 16:55:35 UTC

Discussed at 2014-08-27 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2014-08-27/f21-blocker-review.2014-08-27-15.59.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker, under a different criterion (for clarity): "When using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to use either HTTP or FTP repositories (or both) as package sources. The network install image must default to a valid publicly-accessible package source." , https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Remote_package_sources .

Comment 4 Vratislav Podzimek 2014-08-27 17:12:20 UTC

I believe we already have this fixed on master. Porting the patch and let's see if it helps.

Given comment #4, I will wait and re-test when TC5 becomes available. I don't have an easy way to get the logs off the VM at this time.

Comment 6 Mike Ruckman 2014-09-03 17:35:05 UTC

Discussed in 2014-09-03 Blocker Review Meeting. Could we get this retested on a more recent image? Thanks.

Comment 7 Stephen Gallagher 2014-09-05 15:04:17 UTC

I still can't retest this on TC6, as the netinst.iso isn't working (it doesn't point to a usable tree) and the direct virt-manager install from the tree is broken because of the switch to underscores separating the version and the prerelease name.

I'll continue to monitor this.

#server right now:
<sgallagh> OK, to anyone following along at home, the netinstall iso completes successfully IF you point anaconda explicitly at http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21_Alpha_TC6/Server/x86_64/os/

You collided with my own update saying that...

Actually, on further reflection, I was able to test this by specifying the stage install tree manually in anaconda. Installation completed successfully, so I'm ready to call this bug fixed.

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2014-09-05 16:12:01 UTC

let's just go ahead and close it, then, fix landed before Bodhi kicked in, 21.48.3 has the f21 tag.
