Description of problem: When starting any livecd with a different locale than en_US.UTF-8 the desktop icon for hard drive installation fails to start anaconda. In .xsession-errors the following entry is shown: FATAL: Module md not found. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 782, in <module> floppyDevice = probeHW(opts, x_already_set, xserver) File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 425, in probeHW xserver.probeHW(skipMouseProbe=skipmouseprobe, forceDriver=opts.xdriver) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xserver.py", line 96, in probeHW print cardstr UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) If you run (the command) "liveinst" in a terminal all is working fine (also with different locale) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.2.0.60-1 How reproducible: every time the LANG is not en_US.UTF-8 Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot rawhide-20070517-i386-Live 2. select a different language in gdm (eg. german, spanish, french) and login 3. double-click on the icon for hard disk installation and watch /home/fedora/.xsession-erros Actual results: Sript ends without starting anaconda Expected results: Anaconda should be started Additional info: I've testet this with german (de_DE.UTF-8), french (fr_FR.UTF-8) and spanish (es_ES.UTF-8) on rawhide-20070517-i386-Live. This also happens with my own livecds (eg. the kde one) when LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
With rawhide-20070502 it is also not working. The last working one I know is Test4.
Fixed with rhpl-0.207-1
(In reply to comment #2) > Fixed with rhpl-0.207-1 Confirmed. I updated rhpl in rawhide-20070517 and my own german kde-livecd directly. It's working for testet LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
