Description Steve Tyler 2013-07-20 04:31:51 UTC

Description of problem:

There is corruption in anaconda-tb-* log files reporting some UnicodeDecodeError exceptions. Specifically, this string is corrupt:

OMITTED BINARY DATAerrors: strict

Examples are:
Bug 969309: Attachment 776074 [details]
Bug 981608: Attachment 769164 [details]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-meh-0.25-1.fc19.noarch (per Bug 981608 packaging.log)
anaconda 19.30.13-1
Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate a UnicodeDecodeError exception by entering non-Latin characters in the "Full name" text box of the User Creation dialog of the installer.

Examples:
Bug 969309 - anaconda crashes when typing non-latin character in user creation 
Bug 981608 - UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: unexpected end of data 

Actual results:
This string appears in the anaconda-tb-* log:
OMITTED BINARY DATAerrors: strict

Expected results:
Clearly delimited exception reporting text and meta-reporting of omitted binary data.

Even better would be hex-encoded binary data similar to "hexdump -C" output.

Additional info:
See also:
Bug 886983 - binary data embedded in anaconda-tb

Reproduced in a VM with:
$ qemu-kvm -m 4096 -hda f19-test-1.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F19/Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso -vga std -boot menu=on
