Description

This test case is intended to introduce a failure, and validate anaconda is able to properly handle the failure and report the issue to remote system.

Setup

Download, or create, boot media needed to boot and test the Fedora installer

How to test

  2. After a few initial steps (language/keymap choice, network activation) you should be presented with a failure dialog. Select Save
  3. On the following dialog, choose Report uploader as the reporter and provide valid scp or ftp URL where to save the report, i.e. scp://login:password@host/path or ftp://login:password@host/path.

Expected Results

  2. The reporter informs you that the error file has been successfully written
  3. Login the remote server, and verify that the file was copied correctly
