Description of Problem: New install of RedHat 8.0 Professional. Using KDE desktop. Try to launch Date & Time configuration tool from 'K' System Settings menu. App does not appear. No errors. Nada. In command shell window, try to launch and get the following: [root@valhalla root]# redhat-config-date Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/redhat-config-date.py", line 35, in ? mainWindow.mainWindow().stand_alone() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/mainWindow.py", line 181, in __init__ self.timezonePage = timezone_gui.timezonePage() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_gui.py", line 50, in __init__ self.tz = TimezoneMap(zonetab, self.default, map=path) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py", line 139, in __init__ self.setCurrent(self.currentEntry) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py", line 180, in setCurrent self.markers[self.currentEntry.tz].hide() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tz' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: As above, every time. I finally had to figure out the command line date command to set the system clock. Boy, was that ever intuitive. The man page is useless. Found a page on web with examples. Steps to Reproduce: 1. select from K Panel menu option. Nothing happens. 2. enter command shell redhat-config-date, get errors above. every time. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: I pretty much installed most of available options, since this is a workstation behind my firewall/router, as a learning machine. I am assuming the date time config app is supposed to be installed, since it appeared on the menu.
Also get error this way: open Konquerer KDE file manager nav to /usr/bin/redhat-config-date executable click to launch get error pop message "unknown error" Oh, and then I opened a text file etc/pam.d/redhat-config-date and when hit 'back' in the file manager, it crashed. Doh. And amazingly enough, that reproduces: 1. open KDE file manager 2. do a search on 'redhat-config-date' 3. click the text file above to open and view it 4. then click the back arrow (not the up arrow) in toolbar of file manager Thud. Crashed file manager everytime.
