Description Jon Foster 2002-10-06 22:22:08 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/xconfig_gui.py", line 84, in testPressed
 File "/usr/lib/anaconda/xf86config.py", line 508, in test
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do a custom install
2.Limit package selection (see anaconda crash dump)
3.Accept probed graphics card and monitor, but change vert. resolution
4.When on final install step (x-setup), click TEST button

Actual Results:  Black screen with X in middle of it. Had to ctrl-alt-backspace
to return to anaconda. Anaconda had a crash dialog with the message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/xconfig_gui.py", line 84, in testPressed
 File "/usr/lib/anaconda/xf86config.py", line 508, in test
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Expected Results:  To receive the CONGRATULATIONS on having completed the 8.0
install

Comment 2 Miloslav Trmac 2002-10-07 01:50:09 UTC 
Happened to me too. Apparently anaconda tries to use Xtest from the
newly installed system even if it is not there.
Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2002-10-07 20:58:27 UTC 
Workaround is to install redhat-config-xfree86 if you're going to test X
Comment 4 Jon Foster 2002-10-07 22:57:48 UTC 
In my second attempt at install I did select all of the redhat-config-XYZ
packages, but when I got to the last step and tried the x test, anaconda still
crashed with the same message.
Comment 5 Christian Tosta 2002-10-13 04:55:51 UTC 
Perhaps this information can be util: I was trying to test X configuration for 
a RIVA TNT2 with a 30-60 vert / 50-120 horiz monitor while I got the same error.
After reboot I manually change XF86Config and from X I run Xtest with no 
crashes.
Comment 6 Michael Fulbright 2002-11-01 17:51:27 UTC 
This functionality is being moved from anaconda into the first boot environment.
