From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: I'm doing a PXE/FTP install on my cluster, and I get an error mesage saying: Failed to log into 192.168.1.206: Failed to connect to FTP server And on Ctrl-Alt-F3: transferring ftp://192.168.1.206//data3/fc2/i386/Fedora/base/updates.img to a fd The kickstart file lists the source as FTP with a login/password: url --url ftp://s4p_node:HIDDENPASS@192.168.1.206/data3/fc2/i386 It appears that when anaconda looks for the existance of the updates.img file using the FTP URL from the kickstart file, it strips off the login account and password. I don't really care that it can't find that file, but it propts for an "OK" after the error message, which ruins my unattended/non-interactive install. So I have 2 requests: 1. fix the login info in that portion of the install 2. make this a "silent" error (or at least non-interactive), since it's just checking for the existance of a file anyways... Thanks, Judd Taylor Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): whatever is on the install disk... How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a kickstart install over FTP that requires a login/pass 2. See the error on main screen and ctrl-alt-f3 3. Actual Results: See above Expected Results: See above Additional info:
Made a silent error like the rest of the errors there (one case wasn't in an if !silentErrors)
I figured out how to fix issue #1 (yeehaw!) The problem is in loader2/urls.c, where urlinstStartTransfer() passes ui->password to ftpOpen(). IT passes the password only, when the required format by ftpOpen() is the password with a '@' char appended. The solution would be to modify urls.c to create a buffer in which it can add a '@' char to the end of the ui->password and send that to ftpOpen() instead of ui->password directly. I haven't tested the modified version yet, but I'll let you know if it worked as soon as I do. -Judd PS: I'm not sure what you mean by !silentErrors, what should I change to get rid of the dialog box?
After running a bunch of tests, the above fix didn't work. I don't know why. I think this is a more architectural issue anyways. Why should ftpOpen() expext a different format of the password than what's stored in the ui struct? To fix that, you'd have to make sure that the other calls to ftpOpen() use a plain password (without the '@' on the end) throughout the code... which probably won't be much fun. -Judd
