From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: (bonobo) activation.so module for python not in same place as rh 8.0, this appears to cause difficulty with hwbrowser; may be serious problem for other python/gtk dependent packages (up2date?), since it appears the parent path has deviated. rh8.0: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/bonobo phoebe: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/bonobo Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to RH 8.0 2. cd /usr/lib/python2.2; find . -name "activation*" -print 3. Login to RH Phoebe 4. cd /usr/lib/python2.2; find . -name "activation*" -print Actual Results: RH 8.0 has: ./site-packages/bonobo/activationmodule.so Phoebe has: ./site-packages/gtk-2.0/bonobo/activation.so ./site-packages/gtk-2.0/bonobo/activationmodule.so Expected Results: Expect phoebe's install to resemble RH 8.0 for python and associated modules. Or, at least, that you can call the included modules for python in phoebe without having python dependent apps blow up. Additional info: Force installed gnome-python2-bonobo-1.99.11-8.i386.rpm for RH 8.0 into Phoebe. Not pretty, but fixes python/bonobo problems in Phoebe. (hwbrowser runs nicely, help text for bonobo module inside python interpreter now very informative, etc., etc.) Just in case: Phoebe installed as upgrade from RH 8.0. Retrieved this rpm from: http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/gnomehide/8.0/RPMS/gnome-python2-bonobo-1.99.11-8.i386.html
So sorry! Don't install that rpm from 8.0 on your phoebe! The quick fix worked while I was logged in, but on logging out, it caused more problems, including GUI login hang. (Apparently the GUI calls bonobo on login?) Removed the 8.0 rpm and put back the others from phoebe.
