Confirmed on F22 Plasma x86-64. When running liveinst with no options on the command line, the errors noted are produced. When specifying 'liveinst --lang US' on the command line, or specifying a kickstart file to be used, it proceeds normally. Also noted, but unsure if this is normal, the environment variable LANGUAGE is blank within the live environment. Proposed as a Blocker for 22-final by Fedora user rdieter using the blocker tracking app because: installer fails to run on kde spin It's happening on command line only and it's easy to workaround if common bug. It runs when started from the Kicker menu (GUI) - that's something I expect 99% users do (although it's less discoverable as it's not on desktop now but FE is accepted). So I tend to -1 blocker/+1 FE. If it works from the GUI launcher, then I'm -1 blocker. It looks like there's a difference in the environments for launching it from the terminal as opposed to the GUI. I suspect that the LANG variable is set differently. I'm -1 blocker/+1 FE on this as well. It looks like KDE has known about the empty $LANGUAGE thing for a while (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198260) and a pedantic reading of the gettext man page says that this is ok. This is so dumb. "unset LANGUAGE" run before liveinst may work also. davidshea on #anaconda Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. This bug was rejected as blocker but accepted as Freeze Exception: This breakage isn't considered blocking since the GUI works for installation. A fix would be considered during freeze. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-05-18 Clearing F22 accepted / nominated freeze exception status as F22 has shipped, per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Trackers . You may nominate as an Alpha, Beta or Final freeze exception for F23 if desired using the web application - https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug (though it is not currently set up for F23) - or by marking the bug as blocking AlphaFreezeException, BetaFreezeException, or FinalFreezeException. |
