Description Adam Williamson 2011-02-28 23:01:49 UTC

To reproduce:

1. Boot live (I'm on F15 Alpha RC2) on a system with only a wireless network connection
2. Run liveinst without setting up the wireless connection (so there's no network available)
3. Hit a bug in the installer
4. Hit the 'save' button
5. Realize you want to send it to bugzilla, but you didn't bring up the network yet
6. Set up the wireless connection - verify you can now browse the internet or whatever just fine
7. Go back to anaconda and try to report the bug to Bugzilla, enter your username and password; it will fail to submit the bug, claiming 'name or service unavailable' or something along those lines
8. It'll kick you back to the 'an unhandled exception occurred' screen; try the 'Save' button again and it still won't work
9. Give up, quit the installer, run it again, reproduce the bug, and hit Save; this time you'll be able to report it fine.

We've offloaded almost all these kinds of decisions onto report.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:19:16 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
