Description of problem: Installer stuck forever at "Performing post installation tasks" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: cannot continue install. Expected results: install should complete Additional info: Installation was tested in a KVM VM and observed via spice remoteviewer. I have seen the request for more information for RHBZ #1146015 but am unable to switch to another console (or ssh) so cannot see howto view log files or run 'ps -ef'
So I re-did the F22 Alpha install. This time I did a completely bare install, with no extra packages selected. The only non-default option was to (again) create a user 'admin' As before I was monitoring progress in my VM manager ( in this case ProxmoxVE ) and could see that the installer was not 'frozen' like last time but still using CPU and Harddrive IO. The whole install took 21 minutes. !!!! :-( I would estimate that at least 15 minutes of that was the installer 'waiting' at the final screen.
Please separately attach logs from /tmp (or /var/log/anaconda): program.log, anaconda.log, storage.log.

Can you please attach the other log files from /tmp? Does this problem still occur with F22 Beta?
Sorry the requested files are no longer available, also I seemed to recall looking in /tmp as requested at the time and not seeing the log files although that would have been after a few reboots, so maybe they were purged already. - Hence why I uploaded the logs from /var/log/ as requested. However I did do another fresh install from the newer image: Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-22_Beta_TC8.iso and all went smoothly. :-) So feel free to ignore this BZ. Thanks. Colin
Glad to hear
So I was prematurely optimistic in stating that my last install was fine and thus the problem was gone. The installer 'hang' that I originally reported does in fact still exist. I have investigated further and can now describe the circumstances in which the installer _does_ and _does_not_ eventually complete. I performed all of the tests for this BZ thread on the same ProxmoxVE host as previously and have grabbed screen shots for illustration. I was successful in a completely fresh install of Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-22_Beta.iso which is todays current RC3 For clarity of comparison - I will upload screen grabs of this successful install to this comment, and then continue with the problematic case in a subsequent comment.

Created attachment 1019401 [details] Screengrab2 vm124 Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-22_Beta.iso Unfortunately the resource usage graphs do not all fit on the screen together. You can see from the bottom graph the disk IO which is completed around 18:23. F22 install screen shows install completed and button on bottom right changed to 'Reboot'. :-)
Having gone through this process at least seven times now for various versions of F22Server Alpha TC8 and Beta TC2 TC3 TC8 and RC3 DVD and netinstall I note a couple of things that are NOT helpful 1) In the screengrabs above of the Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-22_Beta.iso install completeting - the screen still shows : 'User Creation' 'Administrator admin will be created' Clearly this gives the wrong impression that the requested new user _has_not _been_created_yet_ . This erronoeus 'information' was a contributor to me not wanting to just reboot a 'hung' install to see what state it was in, since it _falsely__ claims to not have finished doing its installation procedures. 2) I had no way of knowing the IP address of the installation - so could not even attempt to ssh in to it. 3) There is no differentiation detailing what image you are installing. Only the text 'FEDORA 22_BETA INSTALLATION' which is not helpful when you have been installing multiple versions e.g. Server and DVD and netinstall. comment from thread starting post still applies > I have seen the request for more information for RHBZ #1146015 > but am unable to switch to another console (or ssh) so cannot see howto view >log files or run 'ps -ef' @David in comment 6 > Can you please attach the other log files from /tmp?

And so to an install that did not complete. This 'hung' and failed to complete just as reported in comment 1 Currently latest build publicly available on: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/ which is 22_Beta_RC3/Server from: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/22_Beta_RC3/Server/x86_64/iso/ Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-22_Beta.iso I saved some screen grabs and will upload now.
Created attachment 1019410 [details] ScreengrabA vm121 Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-22_Beta.iso RC3 Again all 4 of the resource usage graphs do not fit on screen together. this first screengrab shows the CPU usage ih high from 16:06 to 16:48 I also was running an htop on the Proxmox host so could could watch the host CPU usage in realtime.
Created attachment 1019411 [details] ScreengrabB vm121 Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-22_Beta.iso RC3 screengrab scrolled down shows the Disk IO usage you can see the diskIO from 16:16 is minimal whilst I click through the setup options Then peaks as packages are installed at 16:31 Then tails off by 16:47 Unlike in the case of the Server DVD above - the installation never actually completes.
