I can start installer if I type "DISPLAY=:1 anaconda" in tty
Proposed as a Blocker for 19-final by Fedora user ignatenkobrain using the blocker tracking app because: Installer must be start
Can you please re-try this with a different USB stick and confirm whether it still happens? We can't see an obvious reason for this problem and we haven't seen any other reports of it, so it may be to do with your stick. Discussed at 2013-05-30 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-30/f19final-blocker-review-1.1.2013-05-30-16.02.log.txt . Agreed to delay blocker evaluation for further input from the reporter and the babel developers.
>Can you please re-try this with a different USB stick and confirm whether it still happens? Yes, it still happens. I've also tried another USB slot.
Looks very strange to me - I can't think of a reason right now why this should happen in Babel (short of corrupt data or some OS bug). I assume the F19 beta netinst should be ok to reproduce that? Is there anyone else who can reproduce the issue?
so far this is the only report we have, but I'll try and test it later. I don't think I've tested a dd'ed netinst.iso yet.
I've tried this USB on another laptop, it works perfectly. Problem with my hardware?

As no-one's been able to reproduce this and even the reporter can't on another system, this is tentatively rejected as a blocker: it can reproduced if we find more people are hitting it. Alexey: it kinda looks that way. Have you tested the memory on the affected system?
