Comment 12 David Shea 2014-10-23 18:15:18 UTC
Can you describe the steps you took to reach this bug? Did you set a password? Did you create a user? Did you re-enter either the user or root password spokes?

Comment 13 Vít Ondruch 2014-10-24 08:01:33 UTC
I don't remember exactly, but I first tried to enter root password, then I decided not to enter it, so I deleted the password, got back and then created user to be able to move forward with the installation. But that did not work due to this bug.

Comment 14 Josef Skladanka 2014-10-24 08:34:57 UTC
Another user experienced a similar problem:

Installed from the Live ISO (Beta RC1), let the installation finish without setting a password.
Then created an user account with administrator rights (no root password), and clicked "Finish Confiugration"

cmdline:        /usr/bin/python  /sbin/anaconda --liveinst --method=livecd:///dev/mapper/live-base
cmdline_file:   BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-2 rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image quiet  rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 
hashmarkername: anaconda
kernel:         3.17.1-302.fc21.x86_64
other involved packages: python-libs-2.7.8-4.1.fc21.x86_64
package:        anaconda-core-21.48.12-1.fc21.x86_64
product:        Fedora"
reason:         TypeError: must be string, not None
release:        Fedora release 21 (Twenty One)
version:        Fedora

Comment 15 Josef Skladanka 2014-10-24 09:00:09 UTC
This can be always reproduced by:

1. Boot Fedora Beta RC1 Workstation Live
2. Lett the installation "Finish" without entering either the root password or creating an user account
3. Create the user (without administrator rights)
4. Enter the "Set root password" screen, do not fill anything, and return back
5. Tick the "Make this user an administrator"
6. Hit "Finish Configuration"

I suspect that just the fact of entering the root-password spoke without setting it causes the issue, but I need to do more testing.

Comment 16 Josef Skladanka 2014-10-24 09:19:53 UTC
Update of previous comment:

No need to visit the "User Creation" spoke twice, just create an user with admin rights, visit the "Root Password" spoke without setting any, and hit "Finish Configuration".

For me, this reproduces the bug every time.

Comment 17 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2014-10-24 09:25:44 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 21-alpha by Fedora user jskladan using the blocker tracking app because:

 adamw: i'd just call it a conditional violation of one of the really basic alpha criteria:

"When using a dedicated installer image, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces."
or possibly
 "A working mechanism to create a user account must be clearly presented during installation and/or first boot of the installed system. "

Flagging for discussion

Comment 18 Adam Williamson 2014-10-24 10:44:59 UTC
Correcting milestone (someone needs to update blockerbugs, guys)

Comment 19 Adam Williamson 2014-10-24 17:23:50 UTC
Discussed at 2014-10-24 Go/No-Go meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-2/2014-10-24/f21_beta_gono-go_meeting.2014-10-24-17.01.log.txt . This is a conditional violation, so we had to make a subjective call on how 'serious' it is. We agreed it's not quite bad enough to block Beta, but should block Final - this is the kind of 'unexpected case' bug that's reasonable to fix up between Beta and Final releases. But it's accepted as a freeze exception for Beta, and it'd be very good to get it fixed if we slip the release and have time to fix it.
