Installer crashed after showing cursor (pointer). It displays a message box with traceback indicating that Anaconda encountered an error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download ISO from https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20230914.n.0/compose/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20230914.n.0.iso 2. Make a USB install media using Fedora Media Writer 3. Boot with Media Actual Results: Booting proceeds until the message box shows Expected Results: I expected to see the Graphical Installer (set timezone, repository, package group, partitions etc.) The traceback ends with the following lines File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/pyanaconda/core/service.py", line 53 in start_service return_run_systemctl("start", service, "/") File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/pyanaconda/startup_utils.py", line 469 in start_chronyd start_service("chronyd") File "/sbin/anaconda", line 547, in <module> startup_utils.start_chronyd() pyanaconda.errors.ExitError: gnome-kiosk exited on signal 5
I got the same result with Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20230912.n.0.iso and Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20230913.n.0.iso Machine: Dell Optiplex 3050
Thank you for the report. The gnome-kiosk crashes are usually unrelated to the traceback seen, as the whole program stops at a random place in a random thread. Can you please provide some logs, preferably journal and/or syslog? They should be dumped into /tmp at the crash time.

Please advise on how export the logs placed at /tmp. As at the time of crashing, I could not find a way to access a shell. Anaconda presents the option of debugging which gives me a terminal session. When I exit that session, I am back to a GUI session. Is there a way to drop to shell?
