hmm, I had no idea that was supposed to work, so probably commented it out when merge rhel3/rhel4 branches. Is there someway I can get a list of all the features firstboot is supposed to have? doesnt seem to be anything in featurezilla assigned to me or bfox. 1.3.31 in dist-fc3 reverts the change. It starts up in tui mode, but several of the modules fail to work in tui mode. Indeed TUI-mode working again with firstboot-1.3.31-1, and the only utility which is listed and doesn't appear to be functioning correctly is system-config-soundcard, which claims it needs X in order to run. Other utilities are missing from the TUI-mode (like user config.) Closing out and will try to get a ruling on whether these utilities missing is a stop-ship issue. |
Description of problem: With firstboot-1.3.29-1, it appears that the ability to run firstboot in TUI-mode has been commented out and I'm not really sure why. According to Feature #130273, the functionality is indeed supposed to be there for RHEL4, and it was working just a day or two ago. Can anyone explain why in firstboot.py, we now have: ------- #Let's check to see if we're in runlevel 5. If we're in runlevel 3, let's call #textWindow for the TUI line = os.popen('/sbin/runlevel', 'r').readline() line = string.strip(line) tokens = string.split(line) runlevel = int(tokens[-1]) if runlevel == 3: print (_("Firstboot does not run in runlevel 3.")) firstbootBackend.writeSysconfigFile(doDebug) os._exit(0) #if runlevel == 3 and forcegui == None: # import textWindow # from snack import * <and the commented code continues> ----- There's nothing in the changelog to explain why the code has been commented out, and this is really late in the game to make a chance like this.
