This crash occurs for me during the installation of Fedora 35 Workstation, using the latest rc live image (20211011.n.0). It is triggered when Anaconda reaches the "Performing post-installation setup tasks" step. The installer disappears suddenly; then the GDM login screen is displayed instead. It is fully repeatable on a brand new Dell Latitude 9520. It does not seem to occur on a six-year-old Dell Latitude 7350 though, so I assume this only affects certain hardware. ABRT consistently indicates that gnome-shell is crashing, and that the backtrace matches the one attached to this bug. (Note: I have to manually start the ABRT daemon in the live image; it is disabled by default.) If Anaconda logs or other logs are relevant though, please let me know and I can attach. @rstrode:
From the attached backtrace, it looks like this crash is related to recent upstream commit 8721c5db37c1 ("st/password-entry: Honor disable-show-password key").

FEDORA-2021-e130fcbdeb has been submitted as an update to Fedora 35. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-e130fcbdeb We're a little murky on why this happens occasionally but not apparently all the time - Ray's best guess is: hmm so he must have been prompted for a password during install maybe it happens if people lock their screen during a live install ? or perhaps a polkit dialog came up for some reason but yea the recipe is probably something like 1) make password dialog come up 2) rebuild schemas or dconf update well 1.5) dismiss password dialog but the impact is obviously bad - install crashing near the end - and can't be fixed with an update, so we'd like to ensure it doesn't happen to anyone, thus proposing this as an FE. Thanks Adam and Ray! A password prompt will appear if the user selects disk encryption. In my case, I was (incorrectly) assuming that this particular installer needed me to connect to a network to download the packages - so when I did that, I was prompted for a Wi-Fi password by GNOME. +3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/535 , marking accepted FE. FEDORA-2021-e130fcbdeb has been pushed to the Fedora 35 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2021-e130fcbdeb` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-e130fcbdeb See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2021-e130fcbdeb has been pushed to the Fedora 35 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |
