Is there any output at all when running it from the terminal?

Also, please attach /tmp/*log files and /var/log/messages to this bug as individual attachments.

Here's the error I'm getting with my Fedora 15 remix with all updates applied as of today:

This error was originally reported on the Fedora remix mailing list earlier today:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/remixes/2011-June/000046.html

I'm not sure what else to provide.  I'm just trying to install it in a KVM Virtual Machine when I get the error.

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2011-06-07 18:46:33 UTC
Scott, I don't see how your bug is related to this one. Your issue may be that pyparted and parted are out of sync on f15 at the moment. Please open another bug with your details and I'll look into it.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 14:49:57 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained.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:
