No, the error "ImportError: cannot import name expandLangs" made me
suspect that
the problem is with the traceback.img file itself (I could be wrong
though).
You seem to be right. I explored the files in traceback.img and they contain this line.
So there are two solutions:
1. Ask James Laska (or someone else) to fix this problem.
2. Ask Anaconda team to provide us with their "official" and supported
solution.
After inspecting updates.img, there is a lot of code copied from (some old version of)
anaconda. That doesn't seem to me as a good solution, because we might get completely
unrelated problems in the process. I imagine anaconda guys could provide us with a much
better solution. For example they could add "traceback" kernel option that
causes anaconda crash on startup. This is just a few lines of code, it would be
maintained, and doesn't involve any updates.img downloading etc. What do you think?
I'll discuss with anaconda team if noone has better ideas.

Thanks. I filed
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735611
against eog a
while ago for not recognizing xwd files, but no activity yet. Is
there a way to
save a specific window as a PNG that works in general? (With XWD I
can just do
"xwd > file.xwd", click in the window, then compress the file.)
eog doesn't help much when I still need to download it. PNG can be viewed in the
browser.
I think hitting "Virtual Machine -> Print screen" (available when running VMs
from virt-manager) or generic Alt+Printscreen (that would include VM window borders, but
who cares) is just really simple as well.
Thanks.
