I can reproduce this 100% *provided that* Czech language is pre-selected for me. It crashes after I "accept my faith". However, Anaconda sometimes pre-selects Czech and sometimes English and I'm completely unaware of the conditions. Maybe it's another bug?

English pre-selected -> OK
English pre-selected and Czech selected manually -> OK
Czech pre-selected -> CRASH

Proposing as a blocker:
"The installer must run when launched normally from the release-blocking images."

I have just booted TC3 DVD with Czech pre-selected and it does not crash. It concerns only Live media then.

Reproducer:

1. Connect from a network that is detected as in Czech Republic (that is not Red Hat's Brno office, by the way).
2. Boot Live and run Anaconda
3. If English is pre-selected, quit Anaconda and run it again. Czech should be pre-selected now.
4. Hit Continue -> Accept -> CRASH

I reported the geolocation issues as bug 975193.

I can confirm the problem for Marathi using F19 TC5 Live. However, again it seems to act weirdly:

Czech autoselected -> change to Marathi -> CRASH
English autoselected (without network) -> change to Marathi -> OK
English autoselected (with network) -> change to Marathi -> CRASH

Is the geolocation library messing up with app locale?

Fix has been pushed to master & f19-branch.

The issue was actually caused by pre-setting the timezone (which clashed with a translated string). So if it pre-set a language, it means it also preset a timezone with a wrongly encoded string.

Even if English was preset, the timezone could still be also pre-set from GeoIP if:
* the given territory has more than one language specified (English is used)
* a territory that uses English was detected

Anyway, it should be fixed by correctly encoding the timezone string.

I can't find this build on koji nor even your commit to scm-commits list and also not at http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/anaconda.git/?h=f19

Parag, I believe this has been committed to anaconda git [1] and once an updated package is available, the bug will move to ON_QA status.

[1] https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/anaconda.git

Description of problem:
1. Run following commands:
su
./anaconda

2. Select language 'Russain'

Discussed at 2013-06-19 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-19/f19final-blocker-review-7.2013-06-19-16.01.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per criterion "The installer must run when launched normally from the release-blocking images."

This is either not fixed completely in anaconda 19.30.9 or it caused further regressions. Please see bug 976576.

anaconda-19.30.9-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-11350/anaconda-19.30.9-1.fc19

Kamil: it looks to me rather like *this bug* is fixed, but there is a similar but separate bug in the partitioning code. I think you may have just hit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=973019 .

Ah, good catch, Adam. That's quite possible. In that case this would be VERIFIED.

anaconda-19.30.9-1.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
