Description Flags
Anaconda traceback for bug #30876 (skip X configuration test; Anaconda crashes)
none
traceback for qa0307.0 none

Description Brian Brock 2001-03-06 22:52:41 UTC 
Anaconda crashes with traceback under (at least) the following
circumstances:

qa0306.0 tree / anaconda-7.1-2.20010305163
text mode
Installation over NFS
laptop installation (Dell Inspiron 3500) 
defaults for all other choices (english, firewall rules, etc.)

On the screen when the X configuration is about to be tested (post- package
installation), select the "skip" button (instead of testing the selected X
configuration) causes the traceback.

Traceback to be attached shortly.

Please let me know if more details are required

Comment 3 Brian Brock 2001-03-07 20:21:21 UTC 
Problem still occuring in qa0307.0 tree.  I don't think this is the same as bug
#30870,  if I read Trond's notes right, he chooses a different path than I do in
the installer, and the difference is the cause of my error (and resulting
traceback).

Attaching traceback for qa0307.0 tree shortly.

This defect considered MUST-FIX (showstopper) for Florence Gold
Comment 6 Michael Fulbright 2001-03-09 19:59:00 UTC 
Please test in the qa0309.1 tree, should be fixed.
Comment 7 Brent Fox 2001-03-14 16:02:06 UTC 
Verified fix in the qa0314.0 tree
Comment 8 Brian Brock 2001-03-14 17:01:09 UTC 
also verified in qa0309.1, closing.

Comment 10 R P Herrold 2001-03-14 21:07:31 UTC 
... ummm -- my test condition in 31764 was not a striaght skip, but a failed
config ... is the logic path the same (it would seem not ...) and was it tested?
Comment 11 Brian Brock 2001-03-14 23:15:27 UTC 
Good point.  The laptop that I opened this bug on originally failed
Xconfigurator, it now (as of today's build) works properly, so your case for
#31764 was not tested fully.
Comment 12 Brian Brock 2001-03-14 23:16:54 UTC 
... make that not tested directly by me.
Comment 13 R P Herrold 2001-03-15 02:15:03 UTC 
Re-open for confirmation of tested path on failed rather than skipped Xconfigurator
Comment 14 Brent Fox 2001-03-15 15:52:52 UTC 
The logic path is the same.  The original bug was trying to unlink a file that
wasn't there...
