Red Hat Bugzilla 206588 0 medium CLOSED anaconda crashes trying to leave the static ip address config screen when ip addresses aren't entered 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Description Naresh 2006-09-21 06:40:05 UTC
Description of problem:

Anaconda is expecting both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses irrespective of the check box
status.

Even if i disable the IPV6 checkbox and tried to proceed with the static IPV4
address, its asking me to enter the static IPV6 address.

I think the connection between the 'check box' and the 'text box which takes
input' has to be checked in the code.


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


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the Installation of Fedora Core 6 Test 3
2. In the Networking section, use the Static IP Address mechanism
3. Uncheck the IPV6 check-box.
4. Click on next after you are done with IPV4 address / mask.
5. Installer raises a popup asking to enter the IPV6 address, even if the 'text
fields' for IPV6 are disabled.
  
Actual results:

Installer is not allowing me to proceed without the static IPV6 address

Expected results:

Installer should take only IPV4 address, if the IPV4 address is checked.
Take only IPV6 address, if IPV6 address is checked.

If none are checked. Raise a popup asking to user to skip the networking section.

Additional info:

Related Bug : #206588 , I tried to enter some garbage for IPV6 address and the
installer aborted with a backtrace. The above bug has more details.
