#834 Anaconda WebUI traceback instructions don't work on KDE

Opened Oct 16, 2025 by kparal. Modified Jan 22, 2026

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_save_traceback_to_bugzilla#How_to_test_on_Anaconda_WebUI says:

Wait, until Anaconda WebUI is fully started, set a language and click Continue.
Press F12 to open development tools of the browser window.

Unfortunately this doesn't work on KDE (tested on F43 KDE Live RC 1.4). We need to figure out a way to make anaconda crash on KDE (possibly talk to the anaconda team about it).

It should work on Workstation at least. On KDE webui is no longer run in Firefox but in a kinda custom web view thing called slitherer. We probably need help from @ngompa because he wrote it.

You're right, it still works on GNOME. I updated the description, just KDE is affected.
