Can you try running 'redhat-config-date' from the command line and then cut-and-paste the output into this bug report? There should be some debugging information that might explain what's going on. [Jeremy@localhost Jeremy]$ redhat-config-date Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/redhat-config-date.py", line 35, in ? mainWindow.mainWindow().stand_alone() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/mainWindow.py", line 181, in __init__ self.timezonePage = timezone_gui.timezonePage() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_gui.py", line 50, in __init__ self.tz = TimezoneMap(zonetab, self.default, map=path) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py", line 139, in __init_ _ self.setCurrent(self.currentEntry) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py", line 180, in setCurr ent self.markers[self.currentEntry.tz].hide() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tz' [Jeremy@localhost Jeremy]$ Thanks. This bug is a duplicate of bug #76313. An update is available at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/redhat-config-date-1.5.9-8.noarch.rpm downloaded and applied patch...... did absolutely nothing...... still cannot adjust clock... any other words of wisdom.....?? Do you see the exact same error message on the command line? Further to your request for needed info , here again is the output from redhat-conig-date.... Looks almost the same as last time.... even after installing the patch....still no clock adjustment possible... LOL!! It's a small thing ,but a niggling thing.... Thanks again for your assistance. (Paste): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/redhat-config-date.py", line 35, in ? mainWindow.mainWindow().stand_alone() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/mainWindow.py", line 181, in __init__ self.timezonePage = timezone_gui.timezonePage() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_gui.py", line 50, in __init__ self.tz = TimezoneMap(zonetab, self.default, map=path) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py", line 139, in __init_ _ self.setCurrent(self.currentEntry) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py", line 180, in setCurr ent self.markers[self.currentEntry.tz].hide() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tz' [root@localhost Jeremy]# Very strange. Can you attach the contents of /etc/sysconfig/clock? /etc/sysconfig/clock says...... ZONE="Etc/GMT-4" UTC=false ARC=false That is all........ Thanks for taking the time.... Hmm...I'm really confused now. Are you sure that you installed redhat-config-date-1.5.9-8 from the ftp link I posted above? Here's why I ask: File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py", line 180, in setCurrent self.markers[self.currentEntry.tz].hide() This part of the traceback indicates that the self.markers[self.currentEntry.tz].hide() statement is on line 180. However, after I made the following patch on Oct. 22, 2002, that line should be on line 181: Update of /usr/local/CVS/redhat-config-date/src In directory elvis.redhat.com:/tmp/cvs-serv27076/src Modified Files: timezone_map_gui.py Log Message: fix bug 76313 Index: timezone_map_gui.py =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/local/CVS/redhat-config-date/src/timezone_map_gui.py,v retrieving revision 1.11 retrieving revision 1.12 diff -u -r1.11 -r1.12 --- timezone_map_gui.py 21 Aug 2002 23:08:35 -0000 1.11 +++ timezone_map_gui.py 22 Oct 2002 15:16:01 -0000 1.12 @@ -174,9 +174,10 @@ if not entry: # If the value in /etc/sysconfig/clock is invalid, default to New York self.currentEntry = self.fallbackEntry + else: + self.currentEntry = entry self.markers[self.currentEntry.tz].show() - self.currentEntry = entry self.markers[self.currentEntry.tz].hide() x, y = self.map2canvas(self.currentEntry.lat, self.currentEntry.long) self.current.set(x=x, y=y) So the traceback you are currently seeing leads me to believe that you are still running an older version of redhat-config-date. Run 'rpm -q redhat-config-date' to see what version is installed. I'll bet that the version is earlier than redhat-config-date-1.5.9-8. Looks like you are correct....the version is older - see below... I did download the patch and I was pretty sure it installed , but i guess not... I will give it another go.... I am beginning to think my installation is corrupt.... Most of it works pretty good , but I have since discovered a few other quirks... I think it's time to try RH 9.0....... Linux is still new to me.... There's still A LOT that I have not figured out.... Maybe it's something about my hardware that is causing this...(??) Again , May thanks for your help. Cut/paste frm query...

as you can see by the screen shot , it unpacked and installed OK.. I can now change my time like I am supposed to be able to... Things are right with the world !!!! But the question remains....why would it not install by just clicking on the RPM...??? Many,many thanks again for your help.... Jeremy I can't explain why double clicking the rpm in Nautilus didn't work. That still bothers me since that shouldn't happen. But at least your redhat-config-date is working now. Glad to be of help.
