Description Adam Williamson 2013-05-10 05:38:06 UTC
F19 Beta TC3. use a VM with two disks, one containing a single ext4 partition with an F19 Beta TC3 DVD image on it. Boot from F19 Beta TC3 netinst.iso.

If you go to Installation Source right away, you will see an ISO file: option, you can pick the disk and the ISO, and it'll show up as the install source back at the hub. Okay, looks good.

If you go to Install Destination first, though, and pick the disk which *doesn't* have the ISO on it as the install target, leaving the disk which does have it unselected, then go to Installation Source, the ISO file option is not present. It should be present so long as a disk which might have an ISO file on it is *not* selected as an install target.

logs?

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2013-05-15 00:49:16 UTC
Sorry, I thought it'd be easiest just to reproduce it. I'll attach logs in a bit, it takes a few minutes to set this up.

Comment 11 David Shea 2014-03-10 21:36:56 UTC
It disappears (I assume) because you did not choose the drive containing the ISO in the destination spoke, so the partition containing the ISO was removed from the devicetree.

Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2014-03-10 21:52:12 UTC
OK, but obviously it's not OK to expect people to do that - it's much more natural to *not* select the disk you're installing *from* in the Installation *Destination* spoke.

Comment 13 David Shea 2014-03-10 22:00:45 UTC
Calm down, Adam, I left this one open ;-)  Yeah, we shouldn't use devicetree that way here, I just figured it'd be helpful to note that that's *why* it's happening, and that there is a workaround.

asterisks used simply to highlight the significant terms, not to be read as yelling. ;)

Comment 15 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 18:05:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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 16 Adam Williamson 2015-01-09 19:53:11 UTC
Still appears to be valid as described in current (2015-01-05) Rawhide.

Comment 17 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 14:55:54 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 18 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 19:26:27 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 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.

Comment 19 Adam Williamson 2016-08-19 21:55:59 UTC
I don't think anyone's done anything to fix this.

Comment 20 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 09:34:03 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 21 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:13:26 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

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.
