Description Reartes Guillermo 2012-12-21 21:14:19 UTC
Created attachment 667435 [details]
anaconda full exception

Description of problem:

I installed over a previous F18 disk, using 'manual partitioning'.
ABRT points to another bug-report bug the exception appears a bit different.
At worst it will be a duplicate of such bug-report.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
smoke10 (anaconda 18.37.6)

How reproducible:
unknown, happen once.

Steps to Reproduce:
unknown, i do suspect that it was related to a mount point using
Unicode control characters.
  
Actual results:
*1 aborted installation
*2 bug reported as bug 870586 (but the exception does look a bit different)

Expected results:
either finish installing or rejecting storage configuration if it was invalid.

Additional info:

Comment 8 Steve Tyler 2012-12-21 22:11:07 UTC
[snippet from program.log]
17:41:05,159 ERR program:   Logical volume name "" is invalid

Could be a variant of this one, which concerns name validation:
Bug 883689 - [vgcreate] New volume group name "ñ" is invalid

Comment 9 Chris Lumens 2013-01-02 16:02:46 UTC
Yes, I would say it's a safe assumption that these two are related and will be handled in the same fix.
