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"

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

Hi,
Thank you very much for the information, hopefully it will help those
that have this problem.
I'm curious as to why it happened, and was wondering if you could send
me the following files.
/root/install.log
/root/install.log.syslog
/var/log/anaconda.log
/var/log/anaconda.syslog
