Hi all,

I ran into a strange error after the first reboot using the SL 5.0  
installation DVD. Since I could not find anything about it in the list  
archives, I will pass it on here.

After the first reboot the system hung up in the firstboot wizard with  
the following error:

=================================
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 488, in loadModules
     result = module.launch()
   File "/usr/share/firstboot/modules/welcome.py", line 45, in launch
     pix = functions.ditheredImageFromFile("splash-small.png")
   File "/usr/share/firstboot/functions.py", line 83, in ditheredImageFromFile
     (pixmap, mask) = pixbuf.render_pixmap_and_mask()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'pixbuf' referenced before assignment
==================================

Some digging revealed the problem was with GTK 2.0, resulting in not  
displaying png files. The firstboot splash screen was simply the first  
png file loaded. Re-generating the gdk-pixbuf loader files resolved  
the problem:

===================
# cd /etc
# cd gtk-2.0/
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-32 > ./i686-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-64 > ./x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
# reboot
===================

I compared the 64 bit version before and after. The following lines  
had been added:

===============================================
"/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so"

Maybe this is of use for someone else with the same problem.
