Description of problem: The install crashed whilst tryin gto use the graphical installer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose custom install 2. Choose components 3. Start install 4. crash Actual results: exception box pops up. Expected results: umm.. no crash? a successful install ;o) Additional info: None.
Please attach the contents of the traceback file written out by the error dialog.
I tried to save the traceback to floppy, but it won't save, so I gave up. I started this report and waited while I went through the installer again, but it just doesn't access the floppy to save the traceback... ...and no, I'm not copying down all tha text manually. Sorry.
Unfortunately there isn't enough information here to figure out how its failing. What are the last 5 lines of the traceback?
I can't get the traceback up again as the sytem is now running quite happily after I chose a different set of options and then used the package manager to get it how wanted it, and I don't fancy risking messing it up as I'm still learning. What I do remember though was that the traceback messages were all related to the gui (lots of mentions of gnome) and the final one was an unable to allocate memory error. (may have been from a malloc(), but I'm not 100% cetain). I apoligise for being a pain as no doubt you want to fix this, but I'm still a newbie and opening the hood is as far as I've got, I'm still working out how to set things up, and I don't want to risk what I have thus far.
This should be fixed in Red Hat Linux 9.
