Anaconda Light for Servers
by Sean M 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Hi all, Firstly, thank you for the work on Anaconda/kickstart, it's very reliable and is pleasant to work with. Like many others, I've been busy upgrading several hundred machines from EL7 to EL9 and in doing this I've had to work around a size/RAM limitation in Anaconda. Hundreds of machines I've been upgrading are physical, outside the country I reside in, and do not have an OOB interface (effectively only accessible over ssh) making the upgrade process a bit perilous. When the machine has enough RAM we can boot into the pxeboot/images/[vmlinuz/initrd.img] pair and source the stage2 and the rest of the things we need from the network. When the machine _does not_ have enough RAM, we have to repartition the disk (a combination of XFS/LVM prevent shrinking, the /boot partition is too small, and sourcing stage2 from a disk targeted to be wiped and repartitioned is marked as protected stopping the installer) with a separate partition labeled "installer", download the vmlinuz/initrd.img/install.img there, and booting with `inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=installer`. This "works", but the extra step to boot the installer off the disk instead of the network seems like it could be avoided. I know there are many ways to solve this problem (cat an image over the network and dd it from a rescue environment, or something along those lines), but in this case the wide variety of network configurations, limited access, and time/experience constraints didn't really allow for much experimenting. Anaconda and the kickstart work reliably, and we have the most experience with that. I know this is asking a lot, but as I do not have the expertise to go down this road myself, is it possible to have a build of Anaconda that does not contain the graphical interface to keep the size down? I think this could save a lot of time / resources / e-waste in the server/sysadmin world. Thanks, Sean

Fwd: Anaconda Web UI is postponed to Fedora 42
by Jiri Konecny 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hello everyone, I would like to announce that the Anaconda team has decided to postpone Web UI System Wide change[0] from Fedora 41 to 42. Reason is that we don't have time required to get the project into shape which we would like to deliver to users based on the feedback we were able to collect[1]. We also have other Fedora 41 and CentOS Stream 10 work[2] we would like to deliver which is again reducing our capacity for the Web UI project. We, FESCO and Fedora QE need to decide how to handle this in Rawhide. If we keep Web UI in Rawhide or revert it. Sorry for keeping you waiting even longer. I really hope you will love the Web UI when it's ready!

New version of Anaconda don't work with Orca screen reader on Workstation
by Luigi Russo 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

Hi, I'm blind user and for interact with pc use assistive technologies such as Orca screen reader. A few day ago I downloaded Fedora Workstations rawhide and I tried to install on my pc, but when I try to open procedure installation Orca don't speak. I set also environment variables such as ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1, QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 and QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1 but result is same. This problem is very important especially for next releases of Fedora. I hope that it's solved. Thanks for attention Gigi

Looking for Feedback: Anaconda Web UI partitioning
by Jiri Konecny 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Hi everyone, I would like to use this mail to invite you to the discussion https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/feedback-anaconda-web-ui-partitionin… which was created as reaction on https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3169 which is FESCO decision resulted in postponing the web UI from Fedora 40. Unfortunately, the ticket is missing clear requirements for having the FESCO and Fedora users satisfied with the web UI solution. We would like to use the discussion above to find out the requirements to satisfy FESCO and Fedora users and to be able to propose given change below. Best Regards, Jirka

Fwd: Rawhide Beta Everything.iso and other ISOs -- btrfs -- serious issue
by Luna Jernberg 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

---------- Forwarded message --------- Från: Leslie Satenstein via devel <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Date: mån 5 feb. 2024 kl 17:23 Subject: Rawhide Beta Everything.iso and other ISOs -- btrfs -- serious issue To: devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Cc: Leslie Satenstein <satensteinl(a)yahoo.com> I am not registered as an official test person. But I have been using Fedora for the past 20 years. I have been doing some tests with KDE,Gnome,xfce (all Fedora Rawhide distros). With the Everything.iso, here is an example of a problem I have a previous kde/gnome/kde installation that has pre-existing btrfs / (eg root). The installation scripts have a checkmark indicated for reformat and I choose that for / which is, an existing btrfs that I wish to overwrite. There is no checkmark or option for delete/recreate of a btrfs partition. With the installation scripts I tested, the new anaconda balks and will not allow reformat of any previously used existing btrfs formatted partition. With the Everything.iso, there is no way to excape to root, in order to perform a delete. This shortcoming in the anaconda script means that I must exit the installation, use my existing Fedora 39 to delete the btrfs partition, and then try again. By the way, Fedora 39 Everything.iso has the delete partition (btrfs ) option Do you want me to use bugzilla to post the above? Better still if you format this email to the developer of the new anaconda interface. Leslie Satenstein PS. Existing (Fedora 39 and earlier ) anaconda works perfectly. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Team Update: Capacity Challenges and Contribution Guidelines
by Katerina Koukiou 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

Dear community, I hope this message finds you well. As the team lead for the Anaconda installer, I wanted to provide a brief update on our current status and share some important information about community contributions. Our team is currently facing capacity challenges due to a reduction in active members. Despite these constraints, we remain dedicated to our priorities, such as developing a new Web UI installer frontend and preparing for the Fedora 40 release. We appreciate the continuous support and contributions from our open-source community. However, to manage our current workload effectively, we kindly request your understanding on the following points: - Critical contributions: We will prioritize reviewing and accepting contributions that address critical issues and are essential for the Fedora project. - Early Planning: We encourage contributors to contact the team ahead of working on significant changes to ensure alignment with our capacity and planning. This is a temporary situation, and we are actively working to improve our team's capacity. Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate through these challenges. Katerina Koukiou

Possible deprecation/removal of Initial Setup from Fedora
by Jiri Konecny 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Hello everyone, We (anaconda team) are considering discontinuation of the Anaconda's Initial Setup[0] tool, which is not related to Gnome Initial Setup. Here is a list of the reasons: * The relationship between the installer and the Initial Setup is very fragile. It is easy to break the Initial Setup by changes in the installer or break the installer while we are trying to fix the support for the Initial Setup. The shared code is complex as a result and it complicates development and maintenance of both projects. * As we had higher priority items to work on, the codebase is not in an ideal state and the upstream repository doesn't even have a proper automated CI. Fixing all these issues would take a lot of our resources that we would like to spent on improving the installer instead. * The Initial Setup tool is unnecessarily complicated. Since it shares code with the installer, it has to adapt to many limitations and requirements of the installation environment. It doesn't use the full potential of the installed system, because the installer can't. It postpones all actions until the end of the configuration, because the installer has to. It doesn't offer the best user experience for the first boot configuration, because it is designed to reuse parts of an installer. It drags Anaconda into the installed systems. * There are already alternatives: Gnome Initial Setup, systemd-firstboot, and preparation for KDE solution of initial setup. So the ecosystem changed from the time when Initial Setup was introduced. We think that these alternatives are able to give you a better solution. Before taking any action, we would like to understand your use-cases to find out how we can help you to make the transition smoother and also to find out how much time you would need for migration. Is Anaconda Initial Setup important for your project or workflow? What functionality is absolutely necessary for you? Do you use the text mode or the graphical mode? Are you aware of any alternatives? Is there anything that would prevent you from migrating to one of the proposed alternatives? Also please feel free to share this mail to any relevant groups.
