I have tried several times, and can not get the command line installer to go past the stage selection when selecting stage 1 or 2. Selecting stage 3 seems to be no problem, it does not crash after selecting it. Here is a copy of the Traceback after the crash: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./gli-dialog.py", line 239, in ? gen_install_profile = Setup_InstallProfile(client_profile, install_profile, local_install, advanced_mode, skip_wizard_question, networkless) File "./gli-dialog.py", line 44, in __init__ self.set_install_stage() File "../../GLIGenDialog.py", line 546, in set_install_stage mirrornames.append(item[1]) IndexError: list index out of range I selected the "Internet enabled" option during the initial process, but I see that it says "networkless" in the Setup_InstallProfile call, which I'm not sure if it should or not. And I also did not select to skip the wizard. I tried using both Advanced and Standard modes, and both crashed at the same point. I don't have a copy of the /tmp/installconfiguration.xml, as one was never created. I do have the copy of /tmp/clientconfiguration.xml, and will include it here: gentoo@livecd ~ $ cat /tmp/clientconfiguration.xml <?xml version="1.0" ?> <client-configuration> <network-gateway/> <http-proxy/> <network-ip/> <rsync-proxy/> <ftp-proxy/> <verbose> True </verbose> <enable-ssh> False </enable-ssh> <install-mode> normal </install-mode> <root-mount-point> /mnt/gentoo </root-mount-point> <profile-uri/> <network-type> None </network-type> <network-netmask/> <log-file> /var/log/installer.log </log-file> <network-interface/> <root-passwd/> <network-dhcp-options/> <architecture-template> x86 </architecture-template> <network-broadcast/> <interactive> True </interactive> <dns-servers/> <kernel-modules/> </client-configuration> Also, here is the /var/log/installer.log output: gentoo@livecd ~ $ cat /var/log/installer.log GLI: June 09 2006 06:05:15 - Setting root password.

GLI: June 09 2006 06:35:01 - Completed pre_install steps I tried using the GTK installer, and it let me go past the stage selection when selecting stage 1 and 2 installs. Haven't tried to complete it yet, but will do it now.
can you attach your installprofile.xml?
He already said there was no installprofile.xml. It's a FE error...the install hadn't started yet.
The problem occurs before any installing actually happens. It comes up with the selection for which stage I want to install (stage 1, 2, 3, 3+GRP). If I select stage 1 or stage 2, it quits immediately and does not let me continue. I started the install using the GTK installer last night before bed, and just checked it this morning. Everything seems to be working fine with that, although I was unable to select any mirror using the browse function for selecting the location of the stage tarball. I was able to enter the information manually, and the file listing did come up when I hit the Refresh button. The crash seems to only occur within the command line installer.
Just thought I'd add, that the graphical installer comes up with something that looks similar to the traceback from the command line installer, but it does not crash it. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/installer/src/fe/gtk/URIBrowser.py", line 246, in host_browse_clicked host_combo.append_text(mirror[1]) IndexError: list index out of range That came up in the terminal window when I clicked on the "..." button beside the address box when selecting the location of the stage tarball. I'm using the most recent updated version that updategtkfe gives as of June 8 (20060607). With this error, it does not break the installer, and I am still able to continue with the installation normally. I could still enter all the information in manually, and it found the location of the tarball without any problems. It just seems that it is unable to find them using the mirror list.
This has been fixed in CVS. Apparently, the format of http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml changed, which threw off the parsing code. Thanks for the bug report.
I just tried installing using the command line installer, and selecting stage 1 or stage 2 still comes up with the same error. I tried to reload the clientconfiguration.xml file after the crash, and it came up with a fatal error. I know this may be another bug, separate from the original one I posted, but thought it may be relavent. GLIException.GLIException: NoSuchTypeError :FATAL: set_network_type: You can only have a static or dhcp network! The traceback is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./gli-dialog.py", line 205, in ? client_profile.parse(client_config_xml_file) File "../../GLIClientConfiguration.py", line 95, in parse self._parser.parse(filename) File "../../SimpleXMLParser.py", line 136, in parse xml.sax.parse(path,self) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/__init__.py", line 31, in parse parser.parse(filename_or_stream) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/expatreader.py", line 109, in parse xmlreader.IncrementalParser.parse(self, source) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/xmlreader.py", line 123, in parse self.feed(buffer) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/expatreader.py", line 216, in feed self._parser.Parse(data, isFinal) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/expatreader.py", line 315, in end_element self._cont_handler.endElement(name) File "../../SimpleXMLParser.py", line 92, in endElement fn[0](path, self._xml_current_data, self._xml_attrs[-1]) File "../../GLIClientConfiguration.py", line 458, in set_network_type raise GLIException("NoSuchTypeError", 'fatal','set_network_type',"You can only have a static or dhcp network!") The clientconfiguration.xml file is the same as the one posted in my initial post here. If I'm reading it correctly, it's complaining about an incorrectly set network type, which the clientconfiguration.xml file shows as "None", when I selected "Internet Enabled" during the initial setup.
Just had a thought. My internet connection is on eth1 due to my IEEE1394 using eth0. I'm not sure if this might have any affect on the installer or not. I doubt it would make a difference, but thought I'd mention it anyways.
Just tried to do a stage 3 install, and it crashed with the same IndexError message as before, when selecting the "Specify URI" option.
Did you update to CVS before trying again?
Yes, I updated the installer using /opt/installer/misc/updateglid, and it downloaded the new installer (20060609).
