RFE: Save backtrace to alternate locations
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:40:30 EDT
Description of Problem: During an attempt to a "minimal" installation which was done by deselecting _all_ packages save few (like filesystem, bash, grub, ...) and later accepting "install all packages to resolve dependencies" around 400 MB was still picked up for an installation. After installing nearly everything save few megabytes (hard to tell exactly how many due to subseqent events) anaconda poped out a bit Python trace window in the middle of the screen killing mouse in the process. Some buttons in an attempt to save to a floppy were reachable from a keyboard but with the final "Confirm" I was not so lucky and anaconda immediately rebooted the whole setup. It would be really good to have these backtraces in some file on a ramdisk instead of a "user-friendly" dialog. Then I normally have multiple places to save in a sane way instead of blowing up a diskette which often may turn out to have errors (this happens more and more often).
Any ideas Matt?
Are you seeing the same behavior with Beta 2?
deferred to next gtk2 based installer
Tracebacks will now be written to /tmp/anacdump.txt.
Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
