RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Zdenek Veleba 2021-04-14 12:07:17 UTC 
Anaconda should at the end of installation explicitly log if the installation finished successfully or not.

For example, when monitoring installation via /dev/virtio-ports/org.fedoraproject.anaconda.log.0 there is no clear indication if the installation was successful or not.
Comment 4 Vladimír Slávik 2021-05-12 12:28:21 UTC 
The key problem is that from the installer perspective, work is done after the queue of tasks is empty. But copying the logs is one of the tasks, so no further log messages are "saved". There is already something logged (only in GUI), and by inspecting the installed system, you can never see it. Thus:

1) Is it enough to have this message in the usual place, journal/syslog? (I assume so, because that's what goes into the virtio port after all.)

2) Is just "appears in log" good enough, or are you asking to have this message saved on the installed system too?
Comment 5 Zdenek Veleba 2021-05-14 10:14:02 UTC 
In general it would be nicer to have this in log on the installed system, but I understand the limitations and for our purposes it is enough if it appears on console/syslog during the installation.
Comment 6 Jiri Konecny 2021-05-20 09:28:18 UTC 
What about adding two messages. One which won't be part of the installed system but it will be really the end of the installation and second, which will be stored to the installed system.
