Description of problem: When encountering a traceback on a text-mode install, the save traceback dialog doesn't fit on the screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 11.4.1.53 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the installer wtih updates=http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/traceback.img Actual results: Welcome to Fe│ │ │ ( ) Save to local disk │ │ │ │ ↑ │ │ ▮ │ │ ↓ │ │ │ │ (*) Send to bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com) │ │ │ │ User name ________________________ │ │ Password ________________________ │ │ Bug Description________________________ │ │ │ │ ( ) Send to remote server (scp) │ │ │ │ User name ________________________ │ │ Password ________________________ │ │ Host (host:port)________________________ │ │ Destination file________________________ │ │ │ │ ┌────┐ ┌────────┐ │ │ │ OK │ │ Cancel │ │ │ └────┘ └────────┘ │ <Tab>/<Alt-│ │ next screen Expected results: Perhaps something that fits on the screen better. Some options: 1) 2 dialogs, the first being "How to save", the next being the "save details" ... e.g. +--------| How to save your traceback? |------------+ | | │ ( ) Save to local disk │ │ (*) Send to bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com) │ │ ( ) Send to remote server (scp) │ │ ┌────┐ ┌────────┐ │ │ │ OK │ │ Cancel │ │ │ └────┘ └────────┘ │ # second dialog has the details needed for the selected save method? 2) Don't offer any choice in text-mode ... just display a dialog: "Your install has failed. A traceback has been saved to /tmp/anacdump.txt" 3) Only offer (scp) ? Additional info:
(1) is probably the way to go here. I'll look at this for F11.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fixing version to align with rawhide again. Sorry for the noise.
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
