Created attachment 796872 [details] problem on video Description of problem: After selecting language in anaconda, there is a white background shown and anaconda wont't proceed to next screen (virtualized) or is extremly slow (bare hardware) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 20 Alpha RC2 (both 32 and 64bit) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot netinst 2. Select language and be ok with your fate Actual results: White background is shown and nothing else happens Expected results: Next screen of setup should be shown
Actually it proceeds to the next screen eventually, even in VM. It just takes a long time (30 seconds or more). I guess it depends on the network speed and mirror selection. My guess is that anaconda threading is broken somewhere and the GUI waits until a (part of) metadata is downloaded, only then it is refreshed. This occurs on both architectures, VM and bare metal. There's no such problem with DVD. Proposing as a Final blocker and an Alpha freeze exception. Lukas, please wait until the screen is refreshed and then append logs, thanks.
It does have white screen after language screen but only 5-10 sec here in VirtualBox on i7 with cable access. (RC-2 x86_64 boot from.iso -1440 memory in VB)
Yes, it took a very long time for me with the netinst (over a minute with my 3 Mb/s DSL) but eventually proceeded. With the DVD, it proceeds quickly, presumably since it doesn't have to download.

Seems that anaconda 20.17-1 solved the problem for me
Yes, F20 Alpha RC3 netinst is quick again when showing the main screen.
Discussed in 2013-09-18 blocker review meeting [1]. While not a release blocking issue, this bug is an annoyance and would be good to fix before f20 alpha release. A tested fix would be considered past freeze. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-09-18/
anaconda-20.17-1.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
