anaconda.log

Description of problem: I cannot install Fedora 19 Beta (using the default GNOME live CD). When I click "install now," no window opens for anaconda, but the anaconda process starts and begins to eat away my CPU.

When run as root in a terminal, there are tons of errors:

Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 19.30-1 for anaconda bluesky (pre-release) started.
No protocol specified

^C

Probably more helpful errors are in anaconda.log (attached). Note that I ran (and killed) anaconda three times.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 19.30-1.fc19


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run anaconda :(

Actual results: No window opens and anaconda process uses large amount of CPU


Expected results: anaconda opens

Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2013-06-05 03:06:40 UTC
Probably a blocker under release criteria "The installer must run when launched normally from the release-blocking images."

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2013-06-05 03:21:48 UTC
You don't run 'anaconda' directly if you want to run it from a console on a live image, you run 'liveinst'.

I'm going to take a guess that this is likely https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679486 . Can you check if that matches up?

Comment 4 Michael Catanzaro 2013-06-05 04:43:33 UTC
I'll look more at this tomorrow, but as the stack trace in my exception report is so similar to the one in Bug #928279, it's clearly the same bug. Thanks.
