2411887 – Slitherer segfaults on hardware with with nvidia card

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 22:34:33 +0000

Probably the same issue using Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-43-1.6.x86_64.iso , using a nvidia card too (not sure if related). slitherer is crashing. I edited /usr/libexec/anaconda/webui-desktop: line 172: to DEFAULT_BROWSER_CMD=firefox and I was able to complete the installation. If there is interest in solving the bug, I can run the installer again to get the exact hardware info and stack/core dump for slitherer.

Installer crashes in storage editor in all Live environments except Workstation - Fedora Discussion

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 22:33:21 +0000

Workarounds Don’t start the installer (or quit it if you started it already). Start terminal (Konsole in KDE) and edit a config file: sudo nano /etc/anaconda/profile.d/fedora.conf Find this part: # The default browser for the Web UI. webui_web_engine = slitherer and change it to: # The default browser for the Web UI. webui_web_engine = firefox Close the editor (Ctrl+X → Y → Enter), and run the installer, either from a desktop launcher, or from a terminal: liveinst The installer should no longer crash when using drop-down lists.

KDE liveinst crash - Fedora Discussion

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 22:32:35 +0000

I had this exact issue attempting to install Fedora 44 KDE live ISO on an older laptop with a GeForce GTX 970 GPU. I resolved it by forcing Anaconda to use Firefox instead of Slitherer. I can confirm that Firefox was the selected default browser, but for some reason the indicated variable doesn’t seem to work Instead of editing /usr/libexec/anaconda/webui-desktop I changed the following line inside /etc/anaconda/profile.d/fedora.conf: webui_web_engine = slitherer to webui_web_engine = firefox this allowed me to start Anaconda GUI normally and proceed with installing Fedora 44.

Damn, this thing reduces the machine's temperature dramatically. I could feel it cool down under my hand. "smcFanControl lets you control your fans manually to make your macbook(pro) run cooler. "
