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" "svg" 2 "gtk20" "Scalable Vector Graphics" "image/svg+xml" "image/svg" "image/svg-xml" "image/vnd.adobe.svg+xml" "text/xml-svg" "" "svg" "svgz" "svg.gz" "" " <svg" "* " 100 " <!DOCTYPE svg" "* " 100 "/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/io-wmf.so" "wmf" 0 "gtk20" "Windows Metafile" "image/x-wmf" "" "wmf" "apm" "" "\327\315\306\232" "" 100 "\001" "" 100 "/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so" "png" 5 "gtk20" "The PNG image format" "image/png" "" "png" "" "\211PNG\r\n\032\n" "" 100 ============================================== Maybe this is of use for someone else with the same problem.
