Anaconda logs.

Description of problem:

I was trying to test the following testcase (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_traceback_debug_mode) but I could not enter the Debug mode, because the button was greyed out and could not be clicked.

I am attaching 'anaconda.log' and the screenshot of the VM where it happened.

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

anaconda-34.24.8

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation.
2. Crash Anaconda using 'kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/anaconda.pid`'.
3. Click on "More informations".
4. Try entering the Debug mode.

Actual results:

The debug mode cannot be started.

Expected results:

The debug mode should be possible to run.

Hi, I am not able to reproduce the issue. The Debug button is disabled when the installer wasn't started from a terminal. Are you sure that you didn't click on the icon instead?
