Description Jirka Daněk 2011-04-24 16:04:17 UTC
Description of problem:

When during instalation a window about an unhandled exception jumps up and I click the button Debug and choose this bugzilla to upload the bug data, I am prompted for bugzilla credentials.

But I have already filled those into abbrt and stored it in a GNOME keyring. So installer should instead locate the credentials there and not ask me.

I'm assuming you're referring to the live installation here? I'm not sure it's the common case that someone has already filed an abrt bug in live mode, and then runs the installer and needs to file another one.

Comment 3 Jirka Daněk 2011-04-26 19:58:45 UTC
Yes, I am referencing the live install. 

Well, this Beta of Fedora 15 is the first usable release on any of my machines (these arent probably enoug common cases) and I assure you that I would have some use for this feature. 

If you thing this is not necesarry, then I will point out another conceptual glitch: why does that bugzilla password dialog in Anaconda offer saving the entered password into a keyring? That would be absolutely meaningles feature from your point of view.

And because both abrt and anaconda support keyrings, why not itegrate it so they both can share the stored credentials?

OFFTOPIC paragraph of pointless bitching, instead of writing a blogpost, which takes more time and has pretty much same effect:
When I say FC15 Beta is useable, I mean comparing to that 700 MB big pieces of bug which were fedora 14 and 13 (final releases) I have tried before. Fedora 15 is finally something I can more or less use. For few hours. Doing nothing more than updating the live install (and trying to make it boot from updated kernel, which was a bad idea, but that should not break anything; wanted tho install from the most up to date system, you know) I managed to bring my live USB to a state when it can boot only into virtual console :( Sadly, I don't feel like I spend another half day trying to reproduce it, furthermore, I dont have the slightest clue how things like bootprocess in Fedora work (and my experiences from Arch and Ubuntu are meaningless when it comes to systemd and this-fancy-thing-that-replaced-initd and so on) Now I can only conclude that Fedora live USB is not robust enough to whistand me. Hopefully this is not the only OS on the world. I will come back to FC15 in two weeks, when I will have time and try to at least fill additional info to the bugs I have created so far. Hopefully there will be some progress in half a year with FC15

FYI updating the live USB isn't recommended. The filesystem overlay will probably fill up and crash the system. You are better off selecting the update repository while installing.

Comment 5 Jirka Daněk 2011-04-26 20:19:07 UTC
I know this is not the best place to ask, but where is the Fedora Install Guide? I know there are tons of manuals for Amateur radio and so on, but I haven't really come across an Install guide.

I got ready for updating. I had 3GB overlay and 0,5GB home. (Disabling the overlay in bootloader is what allowed me to run the instalation after I broke the live USB as I described in the offtopic) That should be enough, right? I downloaded only about 400MB worth of packages... and I sort of came to think of Install USB as a ready to use live system... guess I were wrong here, again

The first result of a google search for 'fedora 14 install guide' is this:

This sort of thing is handled by report now.

> This sort of thing is handled by report now.

And since F16 it behaves exactly as the reporter asks in the comment #1 -> closing as CURRENTRELEASE
