Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 21.46-1

How reproducible:
so far 2/2

Actual results:

Expected results:
Installation should continue after network is up

Comment 1 Marian Csontos 2014-07-09 12:28:15 UTC
Is there an easy workaround? I am not a systemd nor networking expert, shall one of the anaconda units "Wants" or "After" the NetworkManager-wait-online.service? Or the network-online.target?

Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2014-07-11 08:30:47 UTC
Could you please post the kickstart file you are using?
Does unattended ks install work if you leave out network command from kickstart?
I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet.
Modifying systemd unit dependencies could work as a workaround, though I'm not sure what exactly you need, I think I've seem some systemd doc/hints on wait-online issues. You should be able to use updates image for the workaround.

Comment 3 Marian Csontos 2014-07-23 15:38:59 UTC
This is likely a timing issue - I am running 30+ VMs on the host and it looks like dnsmasq is taking some time to find and assign an IP address.

1. I will retry with newer tree and post the KS.

2. Perhaps something to do with IPv6 and IPv4 - so I will try to install with ipv6.disable=1 on kernel cmdline.

BTW, is not the network command in KS affecting only the installed system?

/me wonders how is the machine getting the KS file when network is unavailable...

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 15:10:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-12-02 03:14:26 UTC
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
