Description Armel Kermorvant 2005-07-28 19:21:07 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
Error during the boot with firstboot software, see the trace below :

traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 506, in loadModules
    vbox, pix, title = module.launch()
  File "/usr/src/build/548976-i386/install/usr/share/firstboot/modules/boot_gui.py", line 177, in launch
    return FirstbootGuiWindow.launch(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhpl/firstboot_gui_window.py", line 106, in launch
    internalVBox.pack_start(self.myVbox, True)
AttributeError: BootWindow instance has no attribute 'myVbox'

The message doesn't appear if I don't use the reconfigSys (Basic Configuration)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstboot-1.3.42-1.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
all commands below is in root mode

1. remove the fistboot file into /etc/sysconfig/
2. create an empty file with this name reconfigSys in /etc
3. I create a link into /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d with this command :
ln /etc/init.d/firstboot /etc/rc3.d/S95firstboot
ln /etc/init.d/firstboot /etc/rc5.d/S95firstboot
4. reboot the system
5. on the screen the error message appear on the black screen after the progression task :

traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 506, in loadModules
    vbox, pix, title = module.launch()
  File "/usr/src/build/548976-i386/install/usr/share/firstboot/modules/boot_gui.py", line 177, in launch
    return FirstbootGuiWindow.launch(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhpl/firstboot_gui_window.py", line 106, in launch
    internalVBox.pack_start(self.myVbox, True)
AttributeError: BootWindow instance has no attribute 'myVbox'

I clic on the button and the software is launched and I choose my language ....
The software works

  

Actual Results:  All time the error appear.
I prepare some PC with FC 4 for the customers and I finish all configuration by this, because the customer accept the license, create the password for root and finish the configuration (User, Screen Resolution ....)



Expected Results:  I waiting a workaround for the 1st time and after a fix.

Additional info:

Language : French

Thanks for your support

Best regards

I am unable to reproduce this with Rawhide.  In addition, rhpl and firstboot
have undergone a major reconstruction so I might have fixed this problem during
that work.  Please test against an FC5 test when released and let me know if you
are still seeing it.

Comment 2 Armel Kermorvant 2005-10-12 08:12:30 UTC
Good Morning,

I'm waiting FC5 Test for evaluation.
On this software, is it possible I choose some screen during the fist boot.
I explain this :
I need to choose Time Zone, Resolution and other screen, but I don't need the
Root creation and User creation account

Thanks for your feedback and have a nice day

Armelk


Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2005-12-02 19:00:59 UTC
No, you have to step through all the screens.  Is this now working better with
test1?

Comment 4 Armel Kermorvant 2005-12-02 19:29:39 UTC
Good Afternoon,

I plan next week the 1st evaluation of FC5 Test 1.
I expext to come back with the feedback monday.

Have a nice week end

Armel

Feel free to reopen this bug if you are still seeing problems in FC5.
