anaconda dump, when I selecte no-firewall (30.73 KB, text/plain)

Description Alex Lancaster 2002-03-25 09:50:40 UTC
Description of Problem:

I am doing a "laptop" installation in "text" mode, when attempting to do the
firewall configuration section, upon pressing "OK" I get "An unhandled exception
has occured [sic]".  This happens I even when I reboot and choose different
options before pressing "OK".  Also happens when I attempt a "Custom"
installation.  I'm running an IBM ThinkPad 365XD (Pentium II, 133 MHz) with 24MB
of RAM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A

How Reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Boot from a floppy using the "boot.img" image. Select "English" and "US
keyboard".
2. Choose "Laptop" installation.
3. Select "Automatic" partitioning.
4. Choose "GRUB" boot-loader.
5. In firewall configuration leave defaults (i.e. "Medium" security) and simply
press "OK". 

Actual Results:

Get "Unhandled exception" and installation stops. 

Expected Results:

Firewall configuration should have worked and install should have proceeded.

Additional Information:

Traceback (transcribed manually as carefully as possible) follows:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 627 in ?
    intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 406 in
run
    rc = apply(win, (self.screen, ) + args)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/textw/firewall_text.py", line 208, in __call__
    for dev in devicelist.getSelection():
NameError: devicelist


Looking at the Python code, I notice that "devicelist" is only set if the "if"
statement ("if devices != []:") on line 71 is called.  However in the "Pdb"
debugger, if attempt to print this variable I get:

(Pdb) print devices
[]

which leads me to suspect that if statement is not entered and hence
"devicelist" is not set... and the NameError.

Fixed in CVS

Comment 3 Alex Lancaster 2002-03-26 06:27:57 UTC
Great to hear that it's fixed in CVS, however, where is the CVS repository for
anaconda so I can test the fix?  I figured it should probably be at:

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/anaconda/?cvsroot=rhl

However, only the bootdisk, help text and po modules are listed there, not the
Python code.  Is this a  "private" Red Hat CVS module, if so could you send me
the fix by private e-mail.  I'm happy to help out and test the fix for your QA
people, but I need to be able to get it... ;-)

If I could successfully get the fix, is there way I could apply the fix against
a running anaconda (i.e. make the firewall configuration "work" on the fly, by
manually applying the change in the .py/.pyc module) without having to rebuild
the image, making a new ISO disk and re-burn?

Comment 4 David Balažic 2002-03-27 10:32:01 UTC
I had a similar experiance.
Install from the Skipjack CD, text mode, Custom , use Disk Druid for 
partitioning hdb, select no boot loader,on the "Firewall Configuration" screen 
after I press OK it crashes, regardless of which FW config I select.

I have no ethernet card, maybe that is important ?

I attach one anaconda dump
