Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. When the anaconda crashes, please, switch to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and copy /tmp/X* and /var/log/anaconda.xlog to some other place -- USB stick, some other computer via network, some on the Internet, and please attach it to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. Neither of the files/folders that you told me to copy seem to exist. (In reply to comment #2) > Neither of the files/folders that you told me to copy seem to exist. /tmp just have to exist. Anyway, if you are not able to collect the required information (and it is quite hard core stuff to do it), don't worry, quite probably somebody else will file the same bug. Setting into NEEDINFO in case you will be able to reproduce it again and collect the required information. If you won't be able to do it for thirty days (and really, don't worry if you cannot), I will close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Created attachment 342962 [details]
X log
No, I have the necessary skills. The files are simply _not_ there.
I switched to a terminal environment and logged in as root. I then mounted my home fs on /mnt/fs. After that, I ran 'cp -t /mnt/fs/home/nicholas /tmp/X* /var/anaconda.xlog' and got the result:
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/X*': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/var/log/anaconda.xlog': No such file or directory
I tried to use "locate," but locate didn't seem to exist either. But I did find a file named "Xorg.0.log" in /var, and I copied that over. I attached it here.
I should say one more thing--although the integrity check says that the disk is ok, K3B told me that there was an error after it was done burning it. But after I ran the medium check, and since the disk (basically) runs, I assumed that it was inconsequential.
Found another report that matched my problem, so closing this as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 498457 *** |
