Gtk-CRITICAL**: file gtkstyle.c: line 515 (gtk_style_attach): assertion `window != NULL' failed. This does not happen when using Red Hat 7.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select Xwindow, KDE, and GNOME packages; as well as, several others. 2.Hit the NEXT button to enter graphics setup. 3. Actual Results: See description. Expected Results: Enter graphics setup and contiune build. Additional info: I've had the same difficulty with a Data General AViiON server, but couldn't spend any time on it so we built it as a non-windows server.
Do you get a traceback dialog prompting you to save the traceback information to a floppy? If so, could you please include this information as it is invaluable in trying to determine what is going on.
There is no traceback dialogue. It issues kills to all processes, umounts the install filesystems, then tells me it's safe to reboot the system. Is there a way for me to provide you with more diagnostic information? I'm using the default install path. Should I use "expert" and is there something I should be doing while going through this selection. I've delved into Red Hat Linux 7.2 Bible and it has no pertinent information regarding trouble-shooting this type of failure. Thank you...
Those gtk error messages are just warnings which should not cause the behavior you are reporting. Have you tried a text mode installation?
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. By the way, try booting the cd by typing 'text' and pressing enter. Please reopen this report if that workaround doesn't work.
I've had to load RH 7.1 and install lk 2.4.13. Unfortunately, I have a project deadline to make and not ime to spend trouble-shooting this issue for you. I would prefer it remains open. I have encountered the same problem on other hardware platforms necessitating the use of RH 7.1 when 7.2 was preferred.
I can't reproduce this behavior on my test machines. If you don't have time to try to help us troubleshoot the problem, we pretty much have zero chance of fixing it. It sounds to me like you could have a bad cd if you seeing the same problem on multiple machines. If you can't provide more information, we'll have to close the bug as 'worksforme'. If you have the time, press <Ctrl><Alt><F4> when the crash occurs and see if there are any kernel error messages related to the cdrom.
If you suspect the CD you can send a replacement to: Wayne Berthiaume EMC Corp 4400 Computer Dr M/S F213 Westboro, MA 01580 I need to resolve a highly important problem with IDE before I can turn my attention back to this issue, but I do plan to return to it. The system I would use to bebug this issue is being used to debug the IDE issue. Once I've resolved it I can try anything you'd like me to try.
Did you make the cd yourself or did you buy a retail copy?
Purchased the Rad Hat Linux Professional Server set.
Ok, so lets try do see if the cd's are good or not. When the crash occurs, press <Ctrl><Alt><F4> and see if there are any kernel error messages related to the cdrom. If there aren't any error messages reading the disc, then the problem must be something else.
Any more info here?
No. I'm still trying to resolve an issue with the IDE mid-layer that causes us to lose DMA.
Still working on the IDE problem. Add to that, I now have a network driver issue to investigate and security design issues. This problem only affects my ability to use the latest distribution on my development system. I'm still able to use RH 7.1 as a base then goto the latest 2.4 kernel to do my development work. Eventually, I may need to go to RH 7.2; unless, a 7.3 appears, then I'll try that one.
I would really recommend trying 7.2, or if you would like a preview of an upcoming release, we just released a beta called 'Skipjack'.
