Looks like we're excluding those devices in the UI (or at least are trying to), so I would first investigate whether the USB device is even being marked as protected to begin with. *** Bug 882516 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 19-alpha by Fedora user bcl using the blocker tracking app because: Install media should not show up in the list of drives to install to. Fixed in commit 21841786 on master branch only. I'd like to see this fixed in f19 final if the change isn't too big. Any other likely consequences here? i'm trying to think of other cases with a \\ in the cmdline and how it might affect those... we don't support windows-style syntax for cifs shares do we? that uses \\machine\share iirc. It wouldn't matter anyway since the actual problem is that shlex removes \\ from the input. All the patch can do is make it better. okay, sign me up for Team What Could Possibly Go Wrong... *** Bug 967649 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** AdamW Enterprises: Filing Two Bugs For The Price Of One Since 2009 Possibly related/I thought it was fixed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=959677 Discussed at 2013-06-24 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-24/f19final-blocker-review-8.2013-06-24-16.00.log.txt . Accepted as a freeze exception issue: showing the stick being installed from is confusing and can cause people to do silly things, and we really can't see that the fix will break anything. (kparal notes we should check it doesn't filter out too much and impede QA:Testcase_install_repository_Hard_drive_variation , but we don't think it should). python-blivet-0.17-1.fc19, anaconda-19.30.11-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-blivet-0.17-1.fc19,anaconda-19.30.11-1.fc19 Package python-blivet-0.17-1.fc19, anaconda-19.30.11-1.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Somehow still not fixed in Final RC2 - dd'ed USB sticks still show up on the select screen. Oh, well. python-blivet-0.17-1.fc19, anaconda-19.30.13-1.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Re-opening as I was definitely seeing this in RC3 testing. This bug remains elusive. With F20 litd written USB's are filtered. But dd'd sticks are not. Maybe we'll get all the variations nailed down for F21. Yeah :( Sorry I didn't have time to pin it down more precisely for F20. The problem here is that the dd written usb has BOTH a iso9660 fs and a disklabel with partitions, making it harder than it should be to tell whether the USB device is the one we booted from. FYI writing them with liveusb-creator or livecd-iso-to-disk will result in the usb device being filtered out. So, just don't try to install to the dd written usb stick you just booted from and you'll be fine. |
