Do you remember what (if any) steps you took that led to this problem?

Comment 2 Witek Mozga 2012-12-03 21:32:12 UTC
I downloaded Fedora Beta XFCE spin, created bootable USB with unetbootin, successfully booted into the graphical environment, then clicked on the installer icon to get the crash and this report.

Comment 3 Peque 2012-12-12 03:11:15 UTC
I started the Fedora 18 installer. The bug report appeared at the first screen *language selection*.

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2012-12-14 10:19:50 UTC
Created attachment 663476 [details]
anaconda 18.37.2 anaconda-tb

I've just hit the same traceback. I wanted to do a kickstarted installation, instead I saw just black screen and found anaconda-tb in /tmp. Attaching. When I started the VM again with the same kickstart (and same disk contents I assume, unless my first attempt changed it), the installation worked fine.

Maybe some race condition?

Tried today with Fedora-18-TC2-i686-Live-XFCE as liveUSB - the same result.

Comment 8 thomas meiner 2013-01-17 09:54:30 UTC
I installed yesterday a few boxes with KDE-live-image 64bit on a usb-stick. Worked fine, until it came to the Thinkpad T420. There I got the exactly the same  error described here. The strange thing is, it worked (with the same stick) without any problems on a few HP-boxes and other Thinkpads. The setup on all boxes are similar.

Comment 11 thomas meiner 2013-01-18 07:36:06 UTC
It looks like #893892 describes the reason for the bug. The Thinkpad T420 comes with an internal UMTS-device. It's most likely this device stops anaconda. But the problem still isn't solved. The todays F18-images don’t work for boxes with wwan devices...

This bug is releted to #893892 and #895752

Comment 15 Nicolas Silva 2013-01-30 12:08:35 UTC
I confirm that the crash happens systematically on my Lenovo T420. Is there a workaround?

It has been a while since last activity here... do you know how to get around this bug? I can't proceed with the installation.

Comment 20 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 09:36:03 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

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.

Comment 21 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 13:29:56 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
