Description Tim Hildred 2014-05-07 03:27:23 UTC
I have been trying to make sure that release notes are visible in correct languages as part of a documentation QE effort. I've come across this issue too many times now not to report a bug. 

I'm installing from an internal server on a virtual machine using virtual machine manager. I give the virtual machine 1024MB RAM and 14GB disk. 

The installation gets about half way through, and crashes. 

I don't know how to investigate any further. 

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #957889 +++

Description of problem:
Installing Fedora19 Alpha using downloaded DVD ISO image into vmware Workstation 9.0.2. The installation is stopped abruptly when anakonda is trying to launch graphical instal. Fedora18 installed without problems.

Apparently the component from the bug I cloned this one from does not exist in RHEL7 land, so I picked one. I hope that doesn't confuse matters.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anakonda-19.20-1


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new VM in vmware Workstation and set the CD path to installation ISO image
2. Boot the VM
3. Select start installation

  
Actual results:

Installation freezes when trying to launch graphical install.
This is the output on the console:

anaconda 19.20-1 for Fedora 19-Alpha (pre-release) started.
21:16:26 Not asking for VNC because we don't have a network

(anaconda:691): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_model_filter_get_path: assertion `GTK_TREE_MODEL_FILTER (model)->priv->stamp == iter->stamp' failed
LibThai: Fail to open dictionary at '/usr/share/libthai/thbrk.tri'.

(anaconda:691): Gdk-WARNING **: anaconda: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :1.


Pane is dead


Expected results:
Clean installation


Additional info:
Fedora15 - Fedora18 works fine in vmware workstation.

Comment 4 Tim Hildred 2014-05-07 06:04:05 UTC
Created attachment 893106 [details]
screenshot of crash

I know this screenshot is not too helpful. However, when I get to this point, I don't know what I can do.

Comment 8 Adam Jackson 2015-07-22 16:22:44 UTC
Tim, can you still reproduce this with 7.2?

Comment 10 Oliver Ilian 2016-07-27 14:38:24 UTC
I can reproduce the error on RHEL 7.2 during a network installation in non gui mode.

If you hit "Ctrl + | (pipe symbol)" the installer crashes with the message "Pane is dead"

That's not totally surprising, ^\ sends SIGQUIT.

We haven't seen any further reports like this, and don't have a reproducer, closing. Please reopen if this issue recurs.
