Description of problem: I'm trying to install rawhide with a F22 Workstation Live CD. In Installation Selection, I checked free up extra space, then clicked Done. A popup appeared to let me delete partitions on my disk. I selected /dev/sda since I wanted to delete everything, then anaconda crashed. I see /dev/sda2 in the backtrace. This is my swap partition. I guess anaconda needs to deactivate that before deleting it, or else it should not have been activated in the first place.

(In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #0) > I guess > anaconda needs to deactivate that before deleting it Actually, I'm hitting this again now, and my swap partition is not even active, so I'm not sure what's going wrong. I am sure that I have no clue how to install Fedora, though.
Proposed as a Blocker for 21-alpha by Fedora user catanzaro using the blocker tracking app because: "When using a dedicated installer image, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the [graphical] installation interfaces." I'm using a live image, so I guess this criterion doesn't technically apply, but that's surely an oversight as there won't be any "dedicated installer images" for Fedora Workstation.
I can install if I first delete my swap partition with gnome-disks. It actually was active after all; not sure if I was blind or what when I wrote comment #11.
