Fedora Linux 39 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-11-26. Fedora Linux 39 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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 Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Re-opening for F43 as this came back with the Kiwi conversion, and Neal says the fix needs to be in livesys-scripts (not the kiwi templates which are outside the packaging system). Proposing as a Final FE - complete breakage of the installer on a non-blocking spin. FEDORA-2025-8588895ba8 (livesys-scripts-0.8.0-3.fc43) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 43. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-8588895ba8 +3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1987 , marking accepted FE. FEDORA-2025-8588895ba8 has been pushed to the Fedora 43 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2025-8588895ba8` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-8588895ba8 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2025-8588895ba8 (livesys-scripts-0.8.0-3.fc43) has been pushed to the Fedora 43 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. You still need to add "xfce-polkit" to the i3 group in comps. it's already in kiwi-descriptions: https://pagure.io/fedora-kiwi-descriptions/blob/rawhide/f/components/desktops/i3.xml#_17 that has a FIXME, but I actually think f-k-d is the right place for it, at least so long as the only thing we *know* we need it for is making the installer work. if someone can prove it would be generally useful to have it on an i3 desktop however you deploy it, to make...something else polkit-y? what?...work, then adding it to comps instead might make sense. |
It's not possible ot use Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-39_Beta-1.1.iso to install the I3Spin right now. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the ISO Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-39_Beta-1.1.iso 2. Start with qmemu using qemu-kvm -m 2048 -vga qxl -cdrom Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-39_Beta-1.1.iso 3. Try to launch liveinst in the terminal or using dmenu 4. Nothing will start Actual Results: liveuser@localhost-live:~$ liveinst localuser:root being added to access control list ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.fedoraproject.pkexec.liveinst ==== Authentication is required to run the installer Authenticating as: Live System User (liveuser) polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie ==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ==== Error executing command as another user: Not authorized This incident has been reported. /usr/sbin/setenforce: security_setenforce() failed: Permission denied vda: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.3/0000:04:00.0/virtio2/block/vda/uevent': Permission denied sr0: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sr0/uevent': Permission denied loop0: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/virtual/block/loop0/uevent': Permission denied loop1: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/virtual/block/loop1/uevent': Permission denied loop2: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/virtual/block/loop2/uevent': Permission denied zram0: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/virtual/block/zram0/uevent': Permission denied dm-0: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/virtual/block/dm-0/uevent': Permission denied dm-1: Failed to write 'change' to '/sys/devices/virtual/block/dm-1/uevent': Permission denied Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py", line 1226, in wrapped ret = orig_obj(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py", line 866, in lvm_lvs return _lvm_lvs(vg_name) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Sender is not authorized to send message (9) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda-cleanup", line 82, in <module> devicetree.populate(cleanup_only=True) File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 53, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/populator/populator.py", line 446, in populate self._populate() File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 53, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/populator/populator.py", line 490, in _populate self.handle_device(dev) File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 53, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/populator/populator.py", line 284, in handle_device self._add_name(name) File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 53, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/populator/populator.py", line 146, in _add_name if name not in self.names: ^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 53, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/devicetree.py", line 148, in names lv_info = list(lvs_info.cache.keys()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/blivet/static_data/lvm_info.py", line 44, in cache lvs = blockdev.lvm.lvs() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py", line 1248, in wrapped raise transform[1](msg) gi.overrides.BlockDev.LVMError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Sender is not authorized to send message anaconda must be run as root. /usr/sbin/setenforce: security_setenforce() failed: Permission denied Expected Results: Liveinst to start Looks like the error started after anaconda changing from consolehelper to pkexec. I managed to find one solution by adding xfce-polkit to our common Kickstart, and by adding this to our %post section at fedora-live-i3.ks: cat > /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce-polkit.desktop <<EOF [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=xfce-polkit Exec=/usr/libexec/xfce-polkit EOF https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issue/68 was created as a tracker for members of the Sig to review the fix.
