I've got this one too. After hitting enter on the grey X screen, it asked me if I would like to "Reread the License Agreement" or "Shutdown". I chose "Reread" and now I'm back to the grey screen. I had to kill X with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE.

I'm still seeing this with rawhide-latest as of 08-27. The traceback indicates that the traceback is coming from the RHN registration modules, which shouldn't even be installed on a Fedora system. I don't know if I should change the component of this bug report to up2date or not. Adrian will see it either way.
should be fixed in up2date-4.3.29 (doesnt include the registration modules, which arent needed for fedora)
it's not throwing an activate exception anymore, but it doesn't run properly either. There are quite a few problems with the rawhide tree at the moment on my test machine so I don't know where problems are arising.
Firstboot failed to run properly on my machine again. Rawhide of 2004-09-27. The X session blinked a few times, but again there was a failure to connect and no appropriate/useful error messages from firstboot.
firstboot-1.3.26-1 confirming that the orignal reported problems of throwing an exception and a traceback is no longer occuring. I'm not sure what comment 7 is speaking of, the firstboot in the development tree seems to work for me when i re-enable the firstboot service and reboot. I'm closing this as resolution rawhide. Please file a new bug report with specifics about the odd behavior you describe in comment 7 if you think there is a bug unrelated to the original report concerning the tracebacking. -jef
