All,

I know that it is very late but CR 7092491 is a really bad usability bug:

http://monaco.us.oracle.com/detail.jsf?cr=7092491
    GUI installer doesn't report tracebacks

What makes this so bad is that the GUI does not advance to the failure
screen from the progress screen.  Thus it appears that the installer
is either hung or the install is still continuing. I think that this is bad
enough to warrant a late push.

The webrev is located at:

https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/johnfisc/7092491-GUI-failure

The fix is simple and low risk.  I just need to add:

    self.install_complete = True

within the error section of the install_callback() method of the ProgressScreen class. the self.install_complete simply means that the installer has completed the process. There is also a self.success that records whether or not it was
successful.

I have tested this within a GUI install that I setup to fail. With the fix the screen does advance to the failure screen and the log has been appropriately
updated.

Thanks,

John
