Description of problem: I'm trying the --dirinstall option b/c the --image one doesn't work (see bug #1276349): From a git checkout as root: # export top_srcdir=`pwd` # . ./tests/testenv.sh # mkdir /var/tmp/anaconda_dirinstall # ./anaconda -G --dirinstall /var/tmp/anaconda_dirinstall Not only anaconda doesn't show me the welcome screen, it doesn't allow me to configure even the package set installed. If I present it with a --repo options it also starts installing packages on its own. This is a complete change in behavior compared to RHEL 7. Also it may affect my attempts to refactor tests/ui/ if the same behavior is present with the --image option. Manual configuration should be possible with --dirinstall and --image.
I'll look into this, but running anaconda from a git checkout isn't really something that's supported. I'd recommend using livemedia-creator --no-virt and an installed version of anaconda on the host, or in a mock, etc. And as usual, please attach the logs from /tmp/*log as individual text/plain attachments.
(In reply to Brian Lane from comment #1) > I'll look into this, but running anaconda from a git checkout isn't really > something that's supported. Agreed, but I'd like to support that for testing purposes. Anyway I've managed to find something: * The anaconda.rpm which is installed is version 24.4-1. If I execute it from one terminal it appears to be working correctly. * On another terminal I've checked out a copy of the anaconda-24.4-1 tag so we can have the same version. Running this locally from inside the git tree: # export top_srcdir=`pwd` # . ./tests/testenv.sh # ./anaconda -G --dirinstall /var/tmp/anaconda-install/ --repo http://example.com/repo The diff between the logs of the two runs is below. As you can see when the installed script is executed it first asks for language (WelcomeLanguageSpoke) then goes on to prepare the other spokes. In the case of running a git checkout it says: DEBUG anaconda: no spokes available on <pyanaconda.ui.gui.hubs.summary.SummaryHub object at 0x7f30ab1484a8>, continuing automatically diff -u sbin/anaconda.log.no_timestamp 24.4-1.local/anaconda.log.no_timestamp --- sbin/anaconda.log.no_timestamp 2015-10-30 04:27:44.296179739 -0400 +++ 24.4-1.local/anaconda.log.no_timestamp 2015-10-30 04:42:30.619016362 -0400 @@ -1,137 +1,51 @@ -INFO anaconda: /usr/sbin/anaconda 24.4-1 +INFO anaconda: ./anaconda 24.4-1 INFO anaconda: 16530852 kB (16143 MB) are available INFO anaconda: check_memory(): total:16143, needed:320, graphical:410 INFO anaconda: Not doing 'syslog setup' in directory installation INFO anaconda: Not doing 'early exception handler' in directory installation INFO anaconda: Not doing 'start audit daemon' in directory installation -INFO anaconda: anaconda called with cmdline = ['/usr/sbin/anaconda', '-G', '--dirinstall', '/var/tmp/anaconda-install/', '--repo', 'http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/fedmsg/dumpdata/Fedora-rawhide-20151029/x86_64/os/'] +INFO anaconda: anaconda called with cmdline = ['./anaconda', '-G', '--dirinstall', '/var/tmp/anaconda-install/', '--repo', 'http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/fedmsg/dumpdata/Fedora-rawhide-20151029/x86_64/os/'] INFO anaconda: Default encoding = utf-8 INFO anaconda: Parsing kickstart: /usr/share/anaconda/interactive-defaults.ks DEBUG anaconda: setting locale to: bg_BG.UTF-8 INFO anaconda: Not doing 'networkInitialize' in directory installation -INFO anaconda: Running Thread: AnaWaitForConnectingNMThread (140223511336704) +INFO anaconda: Running Thread: AnaWaitForConnectingNMThread (139847450609408) INFO anaconda: Display mode = g INFO anaconda: 16530852 kB (16143 MB) are available INFO anaconda: check_memory(): total:16143, needed:320, graphical:410 INFO anaconda: got 3 NTP servers from DHCP INFO anaconda: Fedora is the highest priority installclass, using it -INFO anaconda: Thread Done: AnaWaitForConnectingNMThread (140223511336704) +INFO anaconda: Thread Done: AnaWaitForConnectingNMThread (139847450609408) INFO anaconda: bootloader GRUB2 on X86 platform INFO anaconda: Detected 15.75 GiB of memory INFO anaconda: Suggested swap size (7.88 GiB) exceeds 10 % of disk space, using 10 % of disk space (0.0) instead.

So anaconda wasn't finding the glade files. After exporting some more variables (taken from make runglade): export UIPATH="${top_srcdir}/pyanaconda/ui/gui/" export GLADE_CATALOG_SEARCH_PATH="${top_srcdir}/widgets/glade" export GLADE_MODULE_SEARCH_PATH="${top_srcdir}/widgets/src/.libs" export ANACONDA_DATA="${top_srcdir}/data" export ANACONDA_WIDGETS_DATA="${top_srcdir}/widgets/data" I'm now seeing another error: anaconda 24.4-1 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/home/atodorov/anaconda/pyanaconda/ui/gui/__init__.py", line 157, in __init__ self.builder.add_objects_from_file(self._findUIFile(), self.builderObjects) File "/home/atodorov/anaconda/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 87, in __init__ GUIObject.__init__(self, data) File "/home/atodorov/anaconda/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/summary.py", line 60, in __init__ super(SummaryHub, self).__init__(data, storage, payload, instclass) File "/home/atodorov/anaconda/pyanaconda/ui/gui/__init__.py", line 773, in _instantiateAction obj = actionClass(self.data, self.storage, self.payload, self.instclass) File "/home/atodorov/anaconda/pyanaconda/ui/gui/__init__.py", line 817, in run self._currentAction = self._instantiateAction(self._actions[0]) File "/home/atodorov/anaconda/anaconda", line 1329, in <module> anaconda._intf.run() GLib.Error: gtk-builder-error-quark: /home/atodorov/anaconda/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/summary.glade:7:1 Invalid object type 'AnacondaHubWindow' (6) At this point I'm confident the initial problem from comment #0 was caused by anaconda not being able to find the necessary files/modules when executed from inside the git checkout. What's left to do is figure out what settings are required for this to work properly.
Updating this BZ. I have a working copy of anaconda and it only needed a few lines updated to take into account environment variables. Will submit a PR.
Closing, a PR is proposed on GitHub.
