From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: Running local configuration scripts at the end of kickstart or in single-user mode, that modify /etc/ntp.conf, before firstboot runs can be fatal for the Date and Time module. Here's what my scripts append to the default /etc/ntp.conf: # @AH_BEGIN:xntp.client:-rw-r----- 1 root root 330 Aug 19 14:36 xntp.client@ broadcastclient restrict 172.31.160.14 nomodify notrap restrict 143.106.24.189 nomodify notrap restrict 143.106.24.129 nomodify notrap restrict 172.31.160.16 nomodify notrap server 172.31.160.14 # fri server 143.106.24.189 # fri-external server 143.106.24.129 # emilia server 172.31.160.16 # emilia-cipe # @AH_END:xntp.client@ If I add this to /etc/ntp.conf and re-enable firstboot, the crash occurs just the same. The top of the anaconda stack trace is: /usr/share/redhat-config-date/date_gui.py, line 171, in __init__: ntpServer = socket.gethostbyaddr(ntpServerIp)[0] TypeError: gethostbyaddr() argument 1 must be string, not None. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phoebe2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add the lines above to /etc/ntp.conf 2.Let firstboot run Actual Results: The exception above. Expected Results: Should work, no? Additional info:
Erhm. I tried an install from scratch, without kickstart and without running my scripts at first, and it failed just the same, so it has nothing to do with my settings.
