I've used the > updates.img to use up to date code. I subclassed the python Thread class to make sure that an exception in one thread brings down the whole process. By default, an exception in one thread will just make everything look like it's fine still. So if you're seeing weird behavior with exceptions in threads not bringing down all of anaconda, make sure everything is using AnacondaThread. > Another problem is, that if unhandled exception appears in a separate > thread, python-meh displays the mainExceptionWindow, but then > immediately whole Gtk crashes with many error messages on tty1.

See gdk_threaded in pyanaconda/ui/gui/utils.py for a contextmanager that does just that. If that doesn't work, we might need to add some additional communications channel between threads so the subthread can alert the thread running the UI and it can do the graphical handling. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
