Description Christopher Covington 2016-09-08 14:45:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
GLib assert fires during installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 26.2-1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure DHCP+TFTP server (I used dnsmasq).
2. In TFTP-served directory run:

u=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/Server/aarch64/os/
wget -N $u/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi $u/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz $u/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
echo "linux (tftp)/vmlinuz ip=enp1s0f0:dhcp ksdevice=enp1s0f0 inst.repo=$u
initrd (tftp)/initrd.img
boot" > grub.cfg

3. Network boot target system and monitor its serial console.

Actual results:
 * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
 * shell is available on TTY2
 * if the graphical installation interface fails to start, try again with the
   inst.text bootoption to start text installation
 * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments19:54:01 X startup failed, falling back t

(process:1829): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_connection_call_sync_internal: assertion 'object_path != NULL && g_varian

Expected results:

Additional info:
Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:13:42 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:31:07 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:45:21 UTC 
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
