Description of problem: If you try to setup NTP during firstboot without a working network connection (which is the case for encrypted wireless, for example) and hit "Cancel" instead of waiting for "Contacting NTP servers..." dialog to time out firstboot dies or does something similar: it leaves you with a blank screen with a mouse cursor, all you can do is reboot the machine with Ctrl-Alt-F1 + Ctrl-Alt-Del. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firstboot-1.102-1.fc10.i386 How reproducible: always? Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a fresh fedora system 2. try to hit cancel in the mentioned dialog box without network. Actual results: Emptry screen with a mouse cursor. Expected results: The perfect solution would be a checkbox "don't synchronize time now". A less-perfect solution would be just not to crash.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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
Still reproducible in Fedora 12.

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
For one reason or another, this only happens when started under firstboot, the error is as follows on F-14: nils@f14-x86:~> sudo firstboot --reconfig Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz python2: xcb_io.c:221: poll_for_event: Assertion `(((long) (event_sequence) - (long) (dpy->request)) <= 0)' failed. python2: xcb_io.c:221: poll_for_event: Assertion `(((long) (event_sequence) - (long) (dpy->request)) <= 0)' failed. This looks a lot like bug #648050, closing as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 648050 ***
