Description of problem: when trying to get more verbose output with 'liveinst --debug' it fails with traceback [root@krles ~]# liveinst -d umount: /media/*: not found > /usr/sbin/anaconda(841)<module>() -> import instdata (Pdb) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 841, in <module> import instdata File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 841, in <module> import instdata File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/bdb.py", line 46, in trace_dispatch return self.dispatch_line(frame) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/bdb.py", line 65, in dispatch_line if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit bdb.BdbQuit Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde livecd F11 beta anaconda-11.5.0.38-1.x86_64 How reproducible: allways Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot livecd F11 beta 2.open terminal 3.su - 4.liveinst --debuginfo Actual results: fails with traceback Expected results: works with debugging informations Additional info:
What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? --debug doesn't change the amount of logging. It puts anaconda into a special mode that drops you into a PDB shell, enables debug buttons on various widgets, and so forth. If you want additional output, you need to use --loglevel=debug instead.

I used it because I wanted more verbose output, so I can see I should use loglevel next time... but still there is an option that produces failure with traceback
It's not really so much that it produces failure with a traceback as you don't have input on the tty to anaconda and so pdb just quits immediately. But since we don't really use --debug to accomplish that anymore, patch sent to get rid of it.
