Description Adam Williamson 2024-11-28 18:31:09 UTC

anaconda 42.16 introduced an intentional install failure if the payload uses rsync and rsync fails: http://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/44bde41afed8b19876a84df5fe4635a47707fcd4

This turns out to break KDE live installs, because rsync is actually always erroring there, but it doesn't seem to have been causing any problems before. Here's what we see trying to run an install from a KDE live with anaconda 42.16:

I tested two other images, Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-Rawhide-20241126.n.0.x86_64.iso (a Kiwi-built image with anaconda-42.15) and Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20241121.n.0.iso (the last livemedia-creator-built KDE live). *Both* of them actually have the same rsync output: it only reaches 96% progress, then exits non-zero with "rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1338)" (but there are no apparent "previous errors" to "see"). I was guessing this might have been caused by the Kiwi switch, but it looks like it wasn't - this has been happening for longer, but we just never noticed.

I'd recommend that we back out the anaconda change to fail when this happens for now, until we can figure out what's going on here. I'll send a PR for that and backport it to Rawhide for now.

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2024-11-28 18:32:32 UTC

Proposing as a Beta blocker, as this causes installs of a release blocking image (KDE live) to fail.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2024-11-28 18:45:11 UTC

Note: I don't *think* this is disk space related. The openQA test runs with a 15G disk. I tested with a 20G disk. If this was space related, I'd expect the failure to look 'worse' on openQA, but it doesn't, it looks the same on both.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2024-11-28 18:57:46 UTC

Tested again with a 30G disk (using the 20241121.n.0 ISO), same result (rsync exits 23). It's not disk space.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2024-11-28 21:14:53 UTC

Now I look, the same actually happened on Workstation live installs too. Only KDE BIOS works; KDE UEFI, Workstation UEFI and Workstation BIOS all fail.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2024-11-28 21:18:09 UTC

oh, looking across multiple updates, it's just a bit flaky. *sometimes* it works, on both KDE and GNOME. Most of the time it crashes.

Comment 6 Martin Kolman 2024-11-28 23:25:57 UTC

There is the same issue (rsync not transferring file attributes) for GNOME image in Virtual Box on Mac: bug 2248759 - from early November.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2024-11-29 02:43:40 UTC

It's not exactly the same, though, as in this case there are no errors relating to setting attrs. There really are just no errors in the log from rsync, except the final one claiming there should be others :/ I'll attach the entire journal.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2024-11-29 02:44:07 UTC

Comment 9 Katerina Koukiou 2024-11-29 12:07:03 UTC

I was able to reproduce on UEFI system, on BIOS it worked. 

I rerun rsync with verbose output enabled and it pointed to the root cause. The issue arises because rsync is attempting to set extended attributes (xattr), specifically security.selinux, on a filesystem (EFI partition) that does not support them.

I suggest to handle conditionally the rsync code in anaconda and set --no-xattrs for the boot/efi directory. Otherwise, we need to make sure that the KDE live ISOs do not carry selinux attributes on the EFI files.

This is not related to KDE. It fails on Workstation Live ISO as well the same exact way.
