There is a file that matches /tmp/anaconda-tb-* which you can get to by switching to tty2 (ctl+alt+f2). Please transfer it out using scp or other means and attach it to this bug as an attachment of type text/plain. Thank you.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2011-09-14 14:06:23 UTC 
What steps did you take that resulted in this problem?  Is it at all reproducible?
Comment 4 specht.tobias 2011-09-15 08:12:55 UTC 
Hi,
for me it is reproducible.
I'm working with LVM and the SWAP partition is also on an LVM volume.
The problem occurs when there is already a SWAP partition on LVM and I select this and go to "Edit" and close the dialog without doing any changes.
When I then go to "Next" the bug occur.
But when I go to "Edit" and say format, it's working.

I hope this helps.
Comment 5 David Lehman 2011-09-15 17:21:03 UTC 
This appears to be a duplicate of bug 723303. The difference is that in this case the device is formatted as swap space while the other was a filesystem. This should be resolved in the F16 beta.
