When trying to use VNC from a live cd I get this traceback: 16:52:15 Starting VNC... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 851, in <module> runVNC() File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 300, in runVNC vncS.startServer() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/vnc.py", line 217, in startServer self.initialize() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/vnc.py", line 108, in initialize dev = devices[active_devs[0]] KeyError: dbus.String(u'eth0', variant_level=1) This happens with the F14 and F15 isos. It happens in runlevel 3 and from a gnome-terminal in runlevel 5.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Same problem with F40. If the option isn't supposed to work it could at least be removed.
Upstream fix: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/5629
There's also the --vncconnect option. I'm not familiar with it, wasn't able to get it to work either with the netinstall (using inst.vncconnect) or the live (using --vncconnect). I did see it fail with a call trace on one of those similar to that with "liveinstall --vnc" but don't remember which. Someone more familiar should check to see whether that works.
