Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. Please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been provided. Note that any bug still open against Red Hat Linux on will be closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help. The code that caused this bug is dead and gone, so I'm closing this bug as CANTFIX. |
Typing netcfg from a command line crashes with some ugly errors when DISPLAY isn't set. It would be nice for this to throw a real error message instead rather than dumping errors. Here are the errors, in case they help Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/rhs/netcfg/netcfg.py", line 24, in ? from rhtkinter import * File "/usr/lib/rhs/python/rhtkinter.py", line 69, in ? e = Entry() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1354, in __init__ Widget.__init__(self, master, 'entry', cnf, kw) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1078, in __init__ BaseWidget._setup(self, master, cnf) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1055, in _setup _default_root = Tk() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 886, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className) TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
