Description of problem: I selected Fedora Extras as an additional repository. It tried to get a DHCP address, but I didn't have a cable plugged in to eth0. After some amount of time (approximately 30 seconds) an unhandled exception occurred. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6-release anaconda How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select FE repository 2. unplug ethernet cable 3. wait for error Actual results: Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/netconfig_dialog.py", line 215, in _ok _("Error configuring network device")) TypeError: parent should be a GtkWindow or None Local variables in innermost frame: val: eth0 netdev: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ONBOOT=yes self: <netconfig_dialog.NetworkConfigurator instance at 0xa9cf6cc> args: (<gtk.Button object (GtkButton) at 0xaada07c>,) w: <gui.WaitWindow instance at 0xa9c75ec> combo: <gtk.ComboBox object (GtkComboBox at 0xaada0a4> active: <GtkTreelter at 0xa580ab8> ns: None ... etc Expected results: Actually, I would have expected anaconda to realize that there was no link on the device, but instead it happily tries to get a DHCP address. At least if it's going to do this, it should fail gracefully. Additional info: I might also note that it says "An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please save a copy of the detailed exception and file a bug report against anaconda at http://bugzilla.redhat.com" 1) It is missing the ending period. 2) There is probably 20 pages of exception information. How does one go about "saving a copy" without manually typing on another computer?
That was actually good enough for this one; fixed in CVS. In general, saving to a floppy/memory stick or using the save to remote is the way to grab it. In this case, the latter is a little harder
