Thanks!
Adam, I can consistently reproduce this exactly as described here, on a brand new laptop (but not on an older one). There is a SIGSEGV occurring in gnome-shell, which would appear from the backtrace to be caused by a recent upstream commit. Please see bug 2009637. Should this be considered for a release blocker? I'm honestly not sure whether this issue is quite hardware constrained, or perhaps if we're just the first ones reporting it. On that note: because ABRT is disabled when the live media boots, it does not capture this crash - unless I manually start the ABRT services before the installer. Is that intended? One of the basic release criteria is that installer failures should be reportable to Bugzilla. The nuance here is that it's not Anaconda which is crashing, but the fact that gnome-shell is crashing is essentially having the same impact.
