Comment 13 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 2015-11-04 20:21:02 UTC
Also under Xen HVM guests.

The work-around was to boot with 'xen_emul_unplug=ide' on the Linux kernel command line.

Comment 14 Radek Vykydal 2015-11-09 10:08:55 UTC
We should fix nm_device_valid_hwaddress to be useble with bridges (and other devices) too, so I'd think check for PermHwAddress only for Wired devices and for other (including Infiniband) look for HwAddress.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

Installing F23 64-bit desktop from a USB stick.
Only disk is brand new 3T Seagate drive with no partitioning.
I think that the machine is BIOS-only, not UEFI.

There is a slight chance of SATA controller problems but none showed up in dmesg.
Disk passes short SMART test on this machine (and long test on another).

I attempted to install after getting to the desktop.  On the language selection page (i.e. the first) I left it at English, English (Canada) and pressed "continue" and got this crash a few seconds later.

Comment 16 D. Hugh Redelmeier 2015-11-12 03:33:39 UTC
Note: I am running this on real hardware.

I see that this might be a network manager problem.  I'm using a USB to ethernet adapter.  I have disabled the motherboard's ethernet interface in the BIOS settings because it has been unreliable.

Comment 17 D. Hugh Redelmeier 2015-11-12 03:48:29 UTC
To be clear: I didn't try installing with the motherboard's ethernet, only with the USB ethernet adapter.

With USB ethernet enabled, anaconda crashed.

I then disabled it and tried installing again (no reboot).  Anaconda crash.

I then unplugged the USB ethernet and tried installing again (no reboot).  Anaconda crashed.

I then rebooted the live USB stick, without the USB ethernet installed.  The installer does not crash!  At least not right away.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

tried to install Fedora 23 from live USB stick.
First time, I installed USB ethernet after starting install, using the desktop.  Install immediately crashed.
From same boot of live USB, fired up install again, and it crashed when I specified my language , English (Canada).

This looks a lot like an error I had on a different computer a few days ago.

I confirm fix by Jiri Konecny - it fixed problem for me and installation was successful :)

Comment 23 Jiri Konecny 2015-12-07 07:28:37 UTC
Nice, thank you for testing Kalina.

Comment 24 Jos de Kloe 2015-12-10 12:04:42 UTC
I can also confirm the fix mentioned in comment #20 solves the problem with installing from usb on my side.

I have manually modified the anaconda python source according to this github pullrequest, and after that the installation works as expected without any errors. Is there any chance updated Fedora23 iso's will be published containing this fix?

Comment 25 Jiri Konecny 2015-12-10 12:31:36 UTC
Hello Jos,

First, thank you for testing but sorry the Fedora23 iso can't be updated once it's released. When the Fedora GA is released it's really rare to create respin and we want to avoid that. This update will be in Fedora 24.

The easiest way to solve this is to create updates image with my patch applied on f23-branch.

I found this problem today while installing F23 on my HP P-210tx Machine from bootable usb drive . Since this machine has Broadcom's hardware for wifi connectivity , this time i tried connecting my usb wifi card from TP link : TL-WN722N , so that i can install any extra updtes while installing . So when i started the installation process i found this error.

How does one use this?  It's clearly not a .iso.  Can you use this to modify one of the released F23 .iso files some how?

Comment 30 Jos de Kloe 2016-01-01 16:06:49 UTC
This is how I did apply this fix:

* create a bootable USB drive using the liveusb-creator and make sure to add some persistent storage on the USB drive.
* boot from the USB drive without installing
* manually edit the anaconda installer as detailed in PR mentioned in comment #20 (changes are stored in the persistent storage section of the USB drive)
* then start the installation

The actual source code file change can be seen here:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/461/files
and this change must be applied to this file:
/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pyanaconda/nm.py

After this modification the installation worked flawlessly for me.

Comment 31 Jiri Konecny 2016-01-04 09:27:59 UTC
Thank you Jos for the explanation but there is an easier way.

Updates image is the way how you can change parts of the anaconda automatically. If you have internet when installation is starting it's without problem you only need to add this boot option:

inst.updates=https://jkonecny.fedorapeople.org/redhat/fix-permhwaddress-image.img

If you don't have internet in the installation you can use any persistent storage in this way:

1) Format usb or disk partition which is in PC and you don't need this storage for the installation. Set label to something (for example UPDATES). You can set label by this command mkfs.ext4 -L UPDATES /dev/sdb1 (change the /dev/sdb1 with your device and mkfs with chosen format). WARNING: This will erase all your data.

2) Copy an updates image from the link to this newly created storage.

3) Attach storage to PC and start installation with boot option:

inst.updates=hd:LABEL=STORAGE_LABEL:/path/to/updates.img

In the example above:

inst.updates=hd:LABEL=UPDATES:/fix-permhwaddress-image.img

If anything is not clear please feel free to ask for more details.

Hi mgildroy,

You doesn't miss anything but we aren't updating the compose after it was released. If you want to fix this issue please use the updates image:

https://jkonecny.fedorapeople.org/redhat/fix-permhwaddress-image.img

You can use it when you boot installation with this boot parameter:

inst.updates=https://jkonecny.fedorapeople.org/redhat/fix-permhwaddress-image.img

or you can wait for the F24 release.

Comment 36 Dwayne Bradley 2016-03-14 15:24:50 UTC
Trying to install Fedora in VirtualBox 5.0.16 with the patch:

inst.updates=https://jkonecny.fedorapeople.org/redhat/fix-permhwaddress-image.img

This still did not work for me.  The problem I encountered was with the "virbr0" network adapter after the VM booted from the ISO image.  The install still gave me the PropertyNoFoundError with "name: virbr0".  To get around it, I did the following:

1. After booting with the "inst.updates" line shown above added to the bootup process, I selected "Try Fedora" instead of installing to the hard drive.

2. Open a Terminal window and remove the "virbr0" virtual bridge using the following commands:

- sudo ifconfig virbr0 down
- sudo brctl delbr virbr0

3. From the activities menu, I then selected the "Install to Hard Drive" option.

After this, the installation process proceeded and Fedora install correctly.

Hello Dwayne,

could you please attach a logs here from your crash. They are in the installation environment in /tmp/ folder.

Thank you

Comment 43 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 12:42:43 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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 '23'.

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 23 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 44 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 14:54:03 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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.

Just trying to get this to STOP notifying me every single day...
