Still see this bug with the latest Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20180623.n.1.iso and Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-Rawhide-20180623.n.1.iso

Comment 10 Paul Whalen 2018-07-12 16:23:06 UTC
Also happens after setting a password on a text install (Fedora-Rawhide-20180707.n.2)

================================================================================
================================================================================

1) Start VNC
2) Use text mode

Please make a selection from the above ['c' to continue, 'q' to quit, 'r' to
refresh]: 1
================================================================================
================================================================================
VNC Password

Please provide VNC password (must be six to eight characters long).
You will have to type it twice. Leave blank for no password

Password: 
Password (confirm):

Comment 11 Jan Kurik 2018-08-14 09:57:27 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Comment 12 lnie 2018-09-03 04:38:51 UTC
Still happens with latest Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-29-20180901.n.0.iso

Comment 13 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2018-09-13 07:34:02 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 29-beta by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

 This seems affects the criteria:
When using a dedicated installer image, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces.

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2018-09-13 08:07:06 UTC
I think I'd be -1, the criterion doesn't require that this specific feature (passworded VNC) work, and regular VNC without password works fine, I think.

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2018-09-14 03:50:19 UTC
Discussed at 2018-09-13 Fedora 29 Beta Go/No-Go meeting, acting as a blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2018-09-13/f29-beta-go_no_go-meeting.2018-09-13-17.00.html . Rejected as a blocker, as the criteria does not say anything about requiring password-protected VNC to work, only 'VNC'. inst.vnc works fine.

Obviously it'd still be desirable to fix this, but it doesn't seem to meet the requirements to be a blocker.

.treeinfo from Fedora rawhide of 2018-09-19

Comment 20 Adam Williamson 2019-01-18 22:18:27 UTC
lnie, can you check if this is working correctly in current Rawhide? Thanks!

Comment 21 Paul Whalen 2019-02-19 21:27:49 UTC
VNC password option confirmed working with a text install of Fedora-Rawhide-20190217.n.0

Comment 22 Adam Williamson 2019-02-19 21:38:49 UTC
Then we can go ahead and close this, nothing else is needed. Thanks!
