Description Andy Lindeberg 2008-10-21 20:51:02 UTC
On the Network Manager screen between partitioning and package selection, when the user selects an eth interface that is not connected to the internet, anaconda thinks for a while and then dumps them back onto that screen with no indication of why. Far more helpful would be a notification of "Unable to connect to network with eth#" or something similar.

Committed a fix to git:
d5c0a7287fe810c06968687777bdca527a44258e

Will be in the next build.

All I have it doing is telling the user we were unable to configure the interface.  Let me know if the wording can be improved/changed/whatever.

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2008-10-24 15:24:28 UTC
I broke the string freeze, which we shouldn't/don't want to do.

Reverted this fix for now.  Will dump it in anaconda after F-10 is done or we have branched anaconda for F-10.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:06:11 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 4 David Cantrell 2008-12-02 18:39:47 UTC
Patch committed to git, so the next rawhide build of anaconda should include this fix.
