Description of problem: When installing with a different $LANG than en_US.UTF-8 the hardware information window in smolt-firstboot doesn't show any information. On tty1 this output is shown (I've written this down by hand, so the python syntax may be incorred): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/smoltSendProfile", line 102, in <module> print profile.getProfile() File "/usr/share/smolt/client/smolt.py", line 389, in getProfile Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/smoltSendProfile", line 102, in <module> print profile.getProfile() File "/usr/share/smolt/client/smolt.py", line 389, in getProfile return ´\n´.join(printBuffer) UnicodeDecodeError: ´ascii´ codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6: ordinal not in range (128) return ´\n´.join(printBuffer) UnicodeDecodeError: ´ascii´ codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6: ordinal not in range (128) Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/quertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/quertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz Windowmanager-Warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x40010d (firstboot) Windowmanager-Warning: net_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed Windowmanager-Warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x20010d (firstboot) Windowmanager-Warning: net_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): smolt-0.9.7.1-4.fc7 smolt-firstboot-0.9.7.1-4.fc7 firstboot-1.4.35-1.fc7 How reproducible: ever, if you don't install with en_US.UTF-8 (tested with de_DE.UTF-8, en_ES.UTF-8) Steps to Reproduce: 1. install from rawhide-20070517-i386-Live and choose different language in gdm 2. reboot and click throught firstboot Actual results: smold windows is empty Expected results: smolt should show the informations it will send Additional info: 1.smolt itselt seems to work: you have to deny the sending of the (not shown) information. 2.If this is somehow related to rphl (bug #240787), with rhpl-0.207-1 it is also not working. 3. this may be related to bug #241246
Can you try to replace smolt.py as suggested in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239229#c9 and then re-run firstboot?
The error stays the same.
Once installed does a "smoltSendProfile" work?
No. The same error. It really looks like bug #241246 because ascii is used here. # smoltSendProfile Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/smoltSendProfile", line 102, in <module> print profile.getProfile() File "/usr/share/smolt/client/smolt.py", line 389, in getProfile return '\n'.join(printBuffer) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6: ordinal not in range(128)
Can you try the smoltGui and submit your profile? Can you send me your UUID?
Yes, of course: 1e0c0d2a-16bb-47d5-b52c-91cf2baa4d4b
with smolt-0.9.8.1-1.fc7 (from koji) it is working again: smolt-firstboot shows the information and smoltSendProfile doesn't crash anymore.
Shouldn't smolt-0.9.8.1-1.fc7 be tagged as f7final?
Looks like the release guys forgot to approve it during RC2. If there's an RC3 it will be included, otherwise it looks like this will get shipped with GA.
sorry, that should have been 'won't get shipped'
(In reply to comment #9) > Looks like the release guys forgot to approve it during RC2. If there's an RC3 > it will be included, otherwise it looks like this will get shipped with GA. Oh. That's said. I've set the flag "fedora_requires_release_note" because I think, this should be mentioned in the release notes.
Actually, we're planning to pull this into the final images, so it shouldn't require a release note.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
