Hello everybody,
i run fedora 38 on my dell xps 9300 and want to install Fedora 39 beta/nightly. When i boot from a Fedora 39 (nightly) boot device i get the error message: "[Failed] Failed to start udisks2.service - Disk Manager". After that error message, the Gnome desktop starts normaly and usullay (not every time) the window with the button "install fedora" appears. Clicking on the install button loads the installer, but before it launches an error message appears and closes immediatly, so i can not report or see the error log.
The output of "systemctl status udisks2.service" is " udisks daemon version 2.10.1 starting *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated udisks2.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT udisks2.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'. Failed to start udisks2.service - Disk Manager. " this happens to all version of fedora with udisks v2.10.1, so fedora-rawhide, fedora 39 beta and fedora 39 nightly.
After searching for this issue, i found out that udisks v2.10.1 has a dependency on libblockdev and since fedora rawhide comes with the newer version libblockdev 3.0.4-1.fc40, i was hoping that this fix the issue. Unfortunaly, as i mention, it doesn't.
I'm pretty sure that the fedora installer crashs because of the udisks error.

Hi Camiro, which exact image did you use? You can find the latest nightly here: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/39/Workstati...
When booting the Live image, make sure to select "Test this media". Does the test pass OK?
Does the installer fail to start every time? It would be great if you could open ABRT and make it generate the backtrace for the crash. If you can even report it to Bugzilla, even better, or at least post the full backtrace here.
Hi, which exact image did you use? i tested the fedora beta image from https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download/ the nightly versions from https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html and your link.
Does the test pass OK? Yes, i always test the media and never get an error.
Does the installer fail to start every time? Not every time. In 1/10 the installer does not report an error. Next time i will try to install fedora 39 in this case.
I report the bug on bugzilla redhat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2245285
I'm very new to this "fedora bug report game", so please tell me if i can help with more infomations.
