Why aren't you using a DVD install with text mode? Well, is that install available with BRLTTY? At least for Fedora 14, I know that it's quite unaccessibele. Does the install dVD for Fedora 15 support real text mode without framebuffer, e.g. a console with 80x25? Lars Did you remove packages from the livecd kickstart when you added brltty? With a standard live desktop iso I am able to boot into runlevel 3 (pass 3 on the kernel command line at boot time), login as liveuser and run liveinst --text I did have some extra text output on screen after it resized the filesystem, but it installed fine. I wonder if you removed some needed packages in yours. I'm not sure about framebuffer move. anaconda doesn't use nofb for anything and when I look at the dmesg output on my laptop it doesn't appear to change how text is rendered. 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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Created attachment 501647 [details] /var/log/messages and anaconda.log Description of problem: Anaconda crash with segfault after the language and keyboard selection dialogs, if I run the command 'liveinst --text --nofb=NOFB' from a recent Fedora livecd (built today). Because I'm blind, I need to use BRLTTY and a braille display during install, and so I don't use X or any desktop environment. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a livecd without X, or kill X after boot. 2. Run 'liveinst --text --nofb=NOFB 3. Step through the language and keyboard selection dialogs. Actual results: Segfault. Expected results: A successful installation of the livecd stuff onto the hard drive. Additional info: I know anaconda has been inaccessible to people using a braille display to install Fedora for yers. It would be great if that could be investigated into.
