Description Miroslav Suchý 2011-05-19 08:38:47 EDT

Description of problem:
I kickstarted RHEL5.7-Server-20110518.0 and run firstboot there and got traceback.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/firstboot
firstboot-tui-1.4.27.8-1.el5


How reproducible:
done once, but seem to be deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kickstart RHEL-5.7 (I done it in Beaker)
2. ssh -X there
3. in /etc/sysconfig/firstboot flip RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO to YES
4. run /usr/sbin/firstboot
  
Actual results:
# firstboot 
  File "/usr/sbin/firstboot", line 100, in ?
    from firstbootWindow import firstbootWindow

Expected results:
No Traceback. With 
a) and firstboot installed (probably not good option)
b) or Error messages saying that "firstboot-tui could not be run when DISPLAY is set and I should install firstboot package".

Additional info:
Installing firstboot package, which provides /usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py fixes this issue.
