Description Leslie Satenstein 2018-08-22 02:40:17 UTC
Description of problem:
 
I have a 5 drive system.

One the screen showing the installed hard drives, I have selected 3 drives which contain the boot drive and two other data drives. 

After I choose the 3 drives I wish to include within the /etc/fstab, I visit the link at the footing to choose the boot drive.

It shows my WD drives. The WD drives all have the same name. Wow.

Unfortunately, the "boot drive selection" window is not wide enough, and not expandable in the width. Looking carefully, you discover a almost hidden scroll bar and you will need to scroll the window to the right to see the selected drives Linux has in the list. Each line in the list ends in /dev/sd?

Thereafter, you can confirm or reselect your boot drive. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

All anaconda's including the new cosmetic changed version produced for Fedora 29


How reproducible:

all the time
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:

Window needs to be sufficiently wider, so as to show the entire hard drive name and corresponding device address.

Hello, 

Could you please provide us screenshot and logs from the installation? You can find logs from /tmp/*.log.

Thanks for report.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 20:41:19 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '29'.

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 29 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 6 Leslie Satenstein 2019-10-31 20:52:11 UTC
My image of the issue is still pending.

With boot drive selection, I click to select the boot drive
The opened window is too narrow and 25 (chars).
I see the drive serial number but not the drive ID (ex /sdX )

On my terminal the slider to move the display contents to the right 
is 1 or 2 pixals high. It is barely visible.
Please, there is room on the screen, extend to 50 chars and/or
extend the slider from 1 or 2 pixals to 3 or 4.

From experience, I now know there is a slider at the footing of the window.

Comment 8 Vendula Poncova 2019-11-06 16:23:28 UTC
Anaconda uses a default size of the scrollbar, but it looks like the default value is not user friendly. Reassigning to gtk3.

Comment 9 Leslie Satenstein 2020-10-23 03:53:39 UTC
Please, when reworking anaconda, widen the window that provides the option to choose the boot drive.
The right side of the display is out of view and needs the slider to bring it into view.

The bug I report is that the scroll bar at the base of that (undersized by width) window  is hardly visible.
Please, make it a few pixals thicker.

Also applicable to Fedora 33

Comment 11 Ben Cotton 2021-11-30 16:29:14 UTC
Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 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.
