System Details: OS: Fedora Linux 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) Kernel: 6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Installer Version: 43.44.3-fc43 Problem: When running sudo anaconda from the Live session, the GUI fails to start. Terminal error: "Wayland startup failed, falling back to text mode." After switching to TUI, the installer exits with a failure status. Steps to Reproduce: Boot Fedora 43 KDE Live media. Launch "Install to Hard Drive" or run sudo anaconda in terminal. Observe the crash/exit. Reproducible: Always

Comment on attachment 2128651 [details] Anaconda debug logs (anaconda, journal, program, storage). Note: The file /tmp/anaconda-tb.log was not generated. Only the standard logs (anaconda.log, journal.log, etc.) were available and are included in this tarball.
Additional context regarding driver compatibility: The system is fully operational when upgraded from Fedora 42 to Fedora 43, as it utilizes the proprietary NVIDIA drivers (v: 580.119.02). The installation failure on Live media (Bug 2437614) appears to be specifically related to the nouveau driver's interaction with Wayland on the Pascal architecture (GTX 1050 Ti) during the initial Anaconda startup.
