Description Mike Chambers 2002-11-28 14:57:42 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 
1.0.3705)

Description of problem:
On server installs, command gives python errors, instead of telling user they 
aren't running X

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Perform server install
2.Run redhat-config-packages
3.
	

Actual Results:  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 4, in ?
    import gtk
  File "/usr/src/build/162185-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site-
packages/gtk/__init__.py", line 19, in ?
RuntimeError: could not open display

Expected Results:  Should tell user they aren't running X, or this command 
can't be performed on this type system.

Additional info:

CC'ing Brent Fox on all redhat-config package bugs as he is aware of the 
situation, and can be tracked until they find a solution.
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-12-31 07:41:10 UTC 
Will add some stuff to handle more nicely once we have some text installation
functionality or before the final GinGin release if the text functionality falls
through
Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2003-02-10 01:53:05 UTC 
Handled more gracefully for 1.1.6
Comment 3 Mike Chambers 2003-02-10 02:50:08 UTC 
1.1.5 is still in rawhide.  Will 1.1.6 go into it tonight?
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2003-02-10 06:51:46 UTC 
Yes, I just built 1.1.6 this evening :)
