Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 441916
firstboot prints some errors on one of the virtual terminals
Last modified: 2014-06-18 05:10:08 EDT
Description of problem: I wrote down the errors but I forgot which VT they were on. These might be important (or not). The X server log is set to /dev/null. It should be saved, just as the rhgb and ordinary session logs are. It could be in /tmp ERROR Module {rootpassword,language} does not contain a class named moduleClass, skipping Window manager warning: buggy client sent _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with tim4estamp 0 for 0x400115 (firstboot) Window manager warning: meta_window.activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp. The pager needs to be fixed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rawhide-2008-04-09 How reproducible: Haven't tried to reproduce it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. New install 2. Firstboot runs 3. Press CTL-ALT-F1 through F5 looking for the errors. Actual results: See some errors. Expected results: Additional info:
There are a couple different problems here that should be filed as separate bugs. The errors with the rootpassword and language modules are because those were never updated to the new firstboot module system. They should only ever appear in reconfig mode anyway, which you probably weren't doing, so you're not missing anything here. However the packages that provide those modules should probably either be updated or remove them. The window manager warnings I haven't seen before. I'll reassign this bug to metacity for now so they can check this out and see if there's something I am doing incorrectly.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
