After install of F8 respin firstboot wizard isn't started
Last modified: 2008-03-26 13:11:34 EDT
Description of problem: Hi, our local LUG organized Fedora/Ubuntu install fest and I created for that occasion respin of Fedora 8 Live CD with updated packages because I didn't want to have 10 people go and try to get 200MB (or is it even more) of updates all at once. I recreated the Fedora 8 Live CD with this command: livecd-creator -c livecd-fedora-8-desktop.ks -f F8Desktop -t /virtual/tmp It boots and it installs to hard disk without problems, but after first boot there is no "first boot wizard" that creates user so all users get is an empty gdm screen to which then can it they know enter root as a user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
# /usr/sbin/firstboot File "/usr/sbin/firstboot", line 101, in <module> firstbootWindow(fb) File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 150, in __init__ self.loadModules() File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 426, in loadModules loaded = imputil.imp.load_module(module, found[0], found[1], found[2]) File "/usr/share/firstboot/modules/smolt.py", line 10, in <module> from firstboot.config import *
Changing component to smolt as judging from the traceback it is triggering an ImportError by tryinig to import * from firstboot.config
Created attachment 298273 [details] this is what users see after first boot of fedora 8 live cd with updated packages
This is because I foolishly updated the F9 smolt-firstboot in F8. F9 and F8 firstboot don't play nice. I"ll get this fixed tonight.
smolt-1.1.1.1-2.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8
I guess I was too fast, because I made a new F8 CD respin but smolt-1.1.1.1-1.fc8 is still the latest version :( I'll try again in a couple of days.
This is in testing waiting for someone to test, I'm in training all week and my quick look at 1.1.1.1 on my laptop with an updated firstboot on F8 yielded no problems. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/pending/smolt-1.1.1.1-2.fc8 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=43127 If it gets the thumbs up from someone I'll push it to stable. Otherwise it will have to wait until monday or tuesday.
Just tried with smolt-1.1.1.1-2.fc8, but no success: [root@localhost ~]# firstboot no image found File "/usr/sbin/firstboot", line 101, in <module> firstbootWindow(fb) File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 150, in __init__ self.loadModules() File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 426, in loadModules loaded = imputil.imp.load_module(module, found[0], found[1], found[2])
I have F8 with: firstboot - 1.4.39-1.fc8 smolt - 1.1.1.1-1.fc8 and I get this: [root@localhost ~]# /usr/sbin/firstboot firstboot cannot run, exiting
smolt-1.1.1.1-2.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update smolt'.

Release 3 did the trick! https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/pending/smolt-1.1.1.1-3.fc8 Thanks.
Excellent, sorry it took so long, I was a bit careless in -2. It should be pushed soon.
