Ah, timeconfig.py is importing timezone_map_gui to get a listing of the timezones. The only problem is that timezone_map_gui is importing gobject, which is part of pygtk, which probably isn't installed on your system if you don't have X and Gnome installed. What I've done now is to pull the ZoneTab and ZoneTabEntry classes (which are the only classes that timeconfig.py needs) out into a separate file, which will avoid the importing of gobject. Thus, timeconfig should now be able to run in text mode without pygtk installed and redhat-config-date (the GUI part) should also work fine if pygtk is installed. This should be fixed in redhat-config-date-1.5.10-1 in Rawhide soon. Thanks, Brent! Looking forward to the update. *** Bug 85220 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 92320 [details]
Screen shot of timeconfig
As shown in the screen shot above, the version of timeconfig currently in rawhide, redhat-config-date-1.5.13-1.noarch.rpm, does indeed fix my problem. And, configuring putty for UTF-8 and resetting the terminal yields a reassonably good rendering of the screen. Thanks! Good. Thanks for working with us on this report. |
