Description of problem: Just downloaded Fedora 18 64 bit live iso, and tried to install. After clicking "Install to hard drive", and selecting English as the installation language, I clicked on the "Continue" button. The following was filed automatically by anaconda: anaconda 18.37.11 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/types.py", line 47, in function return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/network.py", line 960, in hostname self.entry_hostname.set_text(value) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/network.py", line 1091, in __init__ self.network_control_box.hostname = self.data.network.hostname File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/__init__.py", line 77, in _instantiateAction obj = actionClass(self.data, self.storage, self.payload, self.instclass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/__init__.py", line 234, in _on_continue_clicked nextAction = self._instantiateAction(self._actions[1]) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/__init__.py", line 73, in _on_continue_clicked cb() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/welcome.py", line 287, in _on_continue_clicked StandaloneSpoke._on_continue_clicked(self, cb) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/__init__.py", line 77, in <lambda> self.window.connect("continue-clicked", lambda *args: self._on_continue_clicked(cb)) TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value Additional info: cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda --liveinst --method=livecd:///dev/mapper/live-osimg-min --lang en_US.UTF-8 cmdline_file: initrd=initrd0.img root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop.is rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 rd.live.check BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz0 executable: /sbin/anaconda hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 other involved packages: pygobject3-base-3.4.2-6.fc18.x86_64 package: anaconda-18.37.11-1.fc18.x86_64 packaging.log: product: Fedora release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) type: libreport version: 18

I have reproduced the error. Here is a more detailed explanation: On the language selection window, "English (United States)" option comes selected as default -it seems to be selected at least-, but if you click the "Continue" button to begin installation process using "English (United States)" language, you get this error, and you are not allowed to continue installation, and forced to terminate the installer. If you click and select any of the language options listed -including "English (United States)" option- before clicking "Continue", you can start the installation process without any error. I think the installer should warn the user to select a language instead of giving an error and terminating the process.
Correction: If you want to start the installation with the default "English (United States)" option, you should select another language first, then reselect the "English (United States)" option again. Otherwise, it gives the same error, and terminates.
I think we already have a patch for this (default hostname to "" instead of None), but I can't find it.
Hostname will be initialized synchronously before UI is run.
i fixed the networik issue, but anaconda crashed as soon as i selected continue in the welcome screen. (selected spanish). i do not known why it crashed. Package: anaconda-18.37.11 OS Release: Fedora release 18
i was tyring to install fedora to my harddrive and it happend Package: anaconda-18.37.11-1.fc18.x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 18
We're well past anaconda 19.2 at this point and we have no dupe reports from F19, so let's count this as fixed. If anyone encounters this with an F19 or later image, please re-open. Thanks.
