*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 76313 ***

how has this been resolved?

this does not appear as a duplicate. read that.

It *is* a dupe of #76313.  Take a look at some of the other dupes of bug #76313
and see that their traceback data is identical to yours:
bug #76164
bug #74206
bug #76707
etc. etc. etc.

You need to upgrade to the latest redhat-config-date from Rawhide, which is
redhat-config-date-1.5.9-4.  Reclosing.

THIS IS AFTER I APPLIED THE REDHAT-CONFIG-DATE-1.5.9  !!!!!!!!!!!
this is not relevant to your dupe!

It will NOT open the GUI for adjusting the clock. 

What are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/clock?

ZONE="Etc/GMT-7"
UTC=false
ARC=false

Hmm...when I make my /etc/sysconfig/clock file look just like yours, the app
works  just fine.

Can you attach /usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py?

Created attachment 89880 [details]
py

here it is

Are you absolutely certain that you are running redhat-config-date-1.5.9-2 or
later?  Your /usr/share/redhat-config-date/timezone_map_gui.py is different than
it should be.  

Here's the difference between your file and the way it should look is in the
setCurrent function, which is where the traceback is occurring:

Your file:

def setCurrent(self, entry, skipList=0):
    if not entry:
        # If the value in /etc/sysconfig/clock is invalid, default to New York
        self.currentEntry = self.fallbackEntry

The way it should look:

def setCurrent(self, entry, skipList=0):
    if not entry:
        # If the value in /etc/sysconfig/clock is invalid, default to New York
        self.currentEntry = self.fallbackEntry
    else:
        self.currentEntry = entry


Cvs annotate shows that the last two lines were added by me on Oct 22, 2002: 

1.1          (bfox     31-Jan-02):     def setCurrent(self, entry, skipList=0):
1.6          (bfox     25-Jul-02):         if not entry:
1.6          (bfox     25-Jul-02):             # If the value in
/etc/sysconfig/clock is invalid, default to New York
1.6          (bfox     25-Jul-02):             self.currentEntry =
self.fallbackEntry
1.12         (bfox     22-Oct-02):         else:
1.12         (bfox     22-Oct-02):             self.currentEntry = entry

'cvs annotate timezone_map_gui.py' shows my entry on Oct. 22, 2002:
revision 1.12
date: 2002/10/22 15:16:01;  author: bfox;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
fix bug 76313

Which backs up my earlier claim that the bug you are seeing is a duplicate of
bug #76313.  These two lines make sure that "self.currentEntry" is never "None",
which will avoid the traceback:
  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'


'rpm -qi redhat-config-date-1.5.9-2.noarch.rpm' shows that the package was built
on Monday, Feb 2003:

So I think that it's impossible for you to be running 1.5.9-2 and still be
seeing this bug since the timezone_map_gui.py file on your machine is from
before Oct. 22, 2002, which is months before the 1.5.9-2 package was even built.

Well, sorry to hear this. I updated the file you told me too via rawhide. I did
what you told me to do. What else can I do? All I want to be able to do is open
the GUI for adjusting and changing the clock. It works fine on my laptop. So
what is the problem? I dont understand. This is a Redhat problem and issue.

You can't really upgrade an individual file via Rawhide.  You have to upgrade
the entire redhat-config-date package and doing the upgrade will replace the
existing timezone_map_gui.py file with a newer one.  

Try this:
1) Download the latest redhat-config-date from Rawhide at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/redhat-config-date-1.5.9-4.noarch.rpm

2) As root, run 'rpm -Uvh redhat-config-date-1.5.9-4.noarch.rpm'.  This should
upgrade all the files in redhat-config-date to the latest version.

3) Run 'redhat-config-date' and see if it works now.

Ahhh, it worked that way. I forgot the -Uvh the first time and just installed
it. Thank you very much. Sorry for my temper, it was just really annoying.

It's my fault.  I assumed that you knew what I meant by getting the latest
package from Rawhide.  I'm glad to know that things are working now.  Thanks for
your report.
