RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-10-28 14:41:39 UTC
Matthias downloaded the boot.iso from here:

http://qafiler.bos.redhat.com/redhat/rel-eng/latest-RHEL-7/compose/Workstation/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso (24-Oct-2013 14:38 280M)

and was greeted with a "Starting Installer" message followed by

"pane is dead"

This looked like a t-mux window, so we hit ctrl-b 2 and found a shell.
Typing "anaconda" made the installer start up successfully, and from there it was able to install packages okay.

Comment 1 David Shea 2013-10-29 15:56:36 UTC
It was mentioned in IRC that Matthias was using GNOME Boxes. What version, and what settings did he use?

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2013-11-05 19:33:13 UTC
Running out of time for the beta deadline, moving this to rc.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2013-11-06 02:20:09 UTC
This didn't reproduce in my installation today with the 1105 tree, which was done the same way (download boot.iso, install in boxes). Lets close this for now, I would say.

Comment 4 David Shea 2013-11-06 14:48:16 UTC
Ok, let us know if it fails again.
