Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Karel Volný 2013-10-31 15:21:26 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to set up installation source, I'm getting "Chyba při nastavování zdroje software" ("error setting repository" or something like that).
This is insufficient to debug and fix the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest nightly

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. trigger some error condition while setting up repositories

Actual results:
all you get is "Chyba při nastavování zdroje software" ("error setting repository" or something like that)

Expected results:
more comprehensive error message giving a clue what is wrong, like
"networking not configured"
"can't resolve 'the.hostname.entered'"
"server responded 404 not found"
etc.

/tmp has been wiped since ... is it really needed?

Comment 4 David Shea 2013-11-05 14:31:24 UTC
Yes, it's really needed, because we have no idea what's going on with this message, either. If the installation completed, the log files are in /var/log/anaconda.

Comment 5 Dave Cantrell 2013-12-11 15:16:58 UTC
It's been over a month and no logs.  If you can provide them, feel free to reopen the bug.
