Description
IBM Bug Proxy
2018-09-19 21:00:20 UTC
Description of problem:
Anaconda installer doesn't start VNC after entering VNC password.
If password is left empty (by just pressing Enter twice), VNC starts successfully.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 30.3-1.fc30
How reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Netboot Fedora rawhide ppc64le
label ppc64le fedora rawhide (dl.fedoraproject.org)
kernel http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/Everything/ppc64le/os/ppc/ppc64/vmlinuz
initrd http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/Everything/ppc64le/os/ppc/ppc64/initrd.img
append repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/Everything/ppc64le/os ip=9.40.193.189::9.40.193.1:255.255.255.0:ltc-boston74.aus.stglabs.ibm.com:enP1p9s0f0:none nameserver=9.3.1.200 verbose console=hvc0
2. Wait for installer to load and select "1) Start VNC"
3. Enter password twice, e.g.: "passw0rd"
3. Prompt will display "Starting VNC..." and VNC won't be started.
Actual results:
Anaconda text interface displays:
Starting VNC...
but VNC isn't started at all.
Expected results:
VNC should have started successfully.
Additional info:
