Anaconda crashed when trying to delete the partition sda6 from the "Create custom layout" option during installation. The system is a Dell XPS M1210 laptop with a single HDD, the partition table is: sda1 - primary vfat 47 Mb sda2 - primary ntfs 70370 Mb sda3 - extended 44053 Mb sda5 - logical vfat 2055 Mb sda6 - logical ext3 101 Mb (old /boot) sda7 - logical swap 2047 Mb sda8 - logical ext3 190771 (old /) sda4 - primary ntfs 190771 Mb Created attachment 338702 [details] Patch fixing this Here is a patch fixing this, I'll commit this to git as soon as a fellow anaconda teammember has reviewed it. Here is a description of the problem / patch: When there are multiple (pre-existing) logical partitions and a logical partition other then the last partition gets deleted, the number of the partitions after it changes. Causing getDeviceByName, with the name based on the new partition number (gotten through parted) to fail. Specifically this causes a "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'" exception in populate() in partition_gui.py . This patch fixes this by updating all partitions names in doPartitioning. Note that for this patch to help the following pyparted bug must also be fixed: https://fedorahosted.org/pyparted/ticket/17 I'm wondering if bug 493361 is also a result of the same behavior. (In reply to comment #4) > I'm wondering if bug 493361 is also a result of the same behavior. Could be, we will need to ask the reporter to retest when a new anaconda is build *AND* a new pyparted. Looks like it's expected from the latest comment, but I can confirm that this bug is still present in Fedora-11-Snap1-x86_64-Live-KDE. Both the updated pyparted and a fixed anaconda are in rawhide now, closing this. Created attachment 339868 [details]
