Description Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 06:47:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
Crash happens when you reach the main hub in Rawhide 2015-08-25 nightly. All openQA tests for this nightly (except kickstart ones) failed this way.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-24.0-1

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:

Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 06:48:32 UTC 
Proposing as an F24 Alpha blocker: "When using a release-blocking dedicated installer image, the installer must be able to use either HTTP or FTP repositories (or both) as package sources. Release-blocking network install images must default to a valid publicly-accessible package source." - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_23_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Remote_package_sources
Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 07:00:27 UTC 
Problem here is this commit: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/634d2d9a85481dc9d7729444c3b4c50ca39b7d59

Note that it changes the condition in status() for calling self.payload.environmentDescription(self.environment) from 'if not env:' to 'if not flags.automatedInstall and not self.environment_valid:'. However, 'None' is explicitly considered 'valid' by self.environment_valid :

        if self.environment is None:
            return True

 , hence the crash. Obvious fix would be:

==========

===========

but not sure if there are other considerations.
Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 07:04:13 UTC 
actually that'd say "Selected environment is not valid" for None, which doesn't seem right. Probably just needs the 'if not self.environment return "Nothing selected"' clause back.
Comment 16 Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 07:09:44 UTC 
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/325
Comment 17 Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 07:37:47 UTC 
Hmm, seems like something else is broken. That patch solves the crash, but the hub then sits with INSTALLATION SOURCE in "Setting up installation source..." state and SOFTWARE SELECTION showing "Nothing selected". You have to go into SOFTWARE SELECTION and select an environment before INSTALLATION SOURCE is happy. So no crash, but it still doesn't behave right (it should pick the default environment and clear both spokes with no user interaction required).

Another user experienced a similar problem:

booted rawhide boot.iso, selected disks, started deleting partitions, installer crashed.

Comment 19 Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 17:08:48 UTC 
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/323 fixes the initial environment selection. Even without 325 that avoids the crash, so 325 isn't really needed, but we may still want it just in case the 'None' situation somehow ever crops up.
Comment 20 Jiri Konecny 2015-08-28 13:46:30 UTC 
I fixed the root case by this PR https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/323 but the PR from comment 19 is another layer of protection from error so it will be applied too.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

1. Started installer
2. Set host name
3. Started partitioning
3a. Removed all partitions
3b. Realized it removed a partition that I wanted to keep (I had already added it manually to the new installation)
3c. Reset partitioning
4. Go back to main menu while waiting for it to finish partitioning
5. Go back to partitioning menu
6. Crash
