I'm guessing it's crashing on `locales[0]` here. Interestingly this doesn't seem to happen for me locally - note I'm in Canada, openQA is running in the US. note from anaconda.log: "22:27:25,492 DEBUG anaconda: setting locale to: C.UTF-8" An easy way to reproduce is to turn off networking. That way geolocation doesn't fix the locale to one that langtable et al can do something with. FWIW the "note the netinst does not crash the same way" from the OP was incorrect. in openQA, both DVD and netinst crash this way. For me running locally, neither do (though the locale is still set to C.UTF-8). Turns out that it's kind of hard to deal with locale data not actually telling us anything useful! This is going to become an issue in F24, since 5af1a3d9649c1f86a7dbc93a7844842f89c03e5d is on f24-branch as part of the fix for 1312607. However, after the change in lorax to install all glibc langpacks, and the change in glibc to ensure that at least one and most likely all langpacks get installed, anaconda can continue to use en_US.UTF-8 as the default. I'd like to revert that commit on F24 and deal with the more complicated task of handling crazy partially-available locale data on rawhide. Proposed as a Blocker for 24-alpha by Fedora user dshea using the blocker tracking app because: This is going to become an issue on alpha any time a user runs in an environment where geolocation data is not available. This causes a crash on the welcome screen, fitting the criterion of "The installer must run when launched normally from the release-blocking images. " The solution is to revert a commit as outlined in the bug. This crash hasn't actually been happening on F24, so far as I can tell. It will once there's a new build for F24, though. Ah...well, sbueno did build anaconda-24.13.1-1.fc24 today. So should we hold off on doing any composes with that, and wait for a new build with the patch reverted? Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. Voted as punt (delay decision) - this isn't a regular "need more info" punt, but the status is that the current stable anaconda does not have this bug so it is not technically a blocker, but if we need a new anaconda package for any other blocker fix, this becomes a blocker and must be fixed. [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2016-03-14/ Still happening in Fedora-Rawhide-20160315.n.0. Doesn't happen in F24. Let's move this to the Beta blocker list, now Alpha was signed off with an earlier anaconda build that did not have the bug. Is there any doable workaround available? I tend to say this bug should better be proposed as freeze exception, except we do not know how to fix (yet). Can anaconda work with a native code page? Sorry if I did not read all the comments carefully. (In reply to David Shea from comment #24) > https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/565 Okay, this means we could propose as freeze exception (see comment #26), when that upstream patch is not applied before beta freeze. There's basically zero chance that Beta would not have a newer Anaconda build, so I'm +1 beta blocker for this. Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. Voted as AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - this clearly violates the criteria (installer fails to run at all) and it's unlikely we can make the Beta release with the same anaconda build we used for Alpha (which did not suffer from the bug) [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2016-03-29 This is now a live issue for F24: anaconda-24.13.1-1.fc24 got pushed stable (autopush due to karma, probably granted by testers who tested by updating live images, which may bypass this bug) and anaconda now fails to run on all F24 images. See all the fails for today's F24 compose: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/overview?distri=fedora&version=24&build=Fedora-24-20160329.n.1&groupid=1 could we get a new F24 anaconda build with the fix for this ASAP?
