Performing https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_Hard_drive_variation against F18 Beta RC1. I set up a VM with two disks, created a single ext4 partition on the second and placed a 'DVD.iso' (F18 Beta RC1 DVD iso) file on it, booted from F18 beta RC1 netinst and passed 'inst.repo=hd:vdb1:/DVD.iso'. The hub showed 'Error setting up software source' as the comment for the install source spoke, but no warning triangle, and it allowed me to proceed with installation after selecting the other disk as the install target. The install seemed to proceed correctly and use the ISO as the install source (I killed dhclient to take the network connection down, and install carried on just fine, so it wasn't using a remote repo). So it worked, but the error message is rather confusing.
When you got the error triangle, did you go into the spoke to see if there was a more verbose error message? Also, can you attach the usual log files?
I don't recall. I'll try and re-test and provide the logs.
Okay, I reproduced this, just as before. Remember, the message says 'Error setting up software source' but there is *not* an error triangle. Entering the spoke I see the 'ISO file' radio button selected, and the 'Device:' dropdown is set to 'Virtio Block Device (9999 MB)', with a very small box between that dropdown and the Verify button, which doesn't look like it contains anything. There is no error message. On the Installation Destination screen, I can pick the 10GB disk which the ISO is on, and no warning or error is shown, and the Installation Source spoke does not enter any error condition. When I do that, though, it looks like it doesn't actually format or create any partitions on vdb, so that's okay, I guess. /dev/vdb1 is mounted on /run/install/isodir . I'll attach the logs from a completed install when it's done.
Created attachment 654850 [details] all typical logs pasted together attaching all the logs in one file for convenience. note that unmounting the repo fails at the end of install, after a while it times out and shows the 'complete' message.
Note this bug is the same in final-smoke1 (using anaconda 18.32).
Bug confirmed. We might want to argue whether this is just a cosmetic problem or a blocker: The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package source options. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Final_Release_Criteria
Helps if we look in the right directory for a mounted image.
