[Description Andrei Slavoiu 2006-07-30 10:13:30 UTC]

When pressing "Forward" I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gtkfe.py", line 239, in forward
    self.loadPanel(self._cur_panel + 1)
  File "./gtkfe.py", line 220, in loadPanel

Are you updating to the CVS version of the installer as directed?

This error is caused by running the installer not as root.

Directed where? Did I miss something?

So I guess it's a bug in the LiveCD itself, as the icon on the desktop does not start the installer as root. Anyway, a propper error message that it requires root privileges would be nice. (yes, I realize that the actual installation can only be performed by root, but it's not so intuitive that the GUI needs to run as root)

Eh, don't use the icon on the desktop. The version of the installer on the CD is still what was included with 2006.0. Open up a terminal and do '/opt/installer/misc/updategtkfe' to fetch the current CVS, which will end up being 0.4 and included with the final 2006.1 release media.

Is this resolved in the latest pre-release livecd?

Kugelfang, please close this when you get a new LiveCD built and uploaded. The current amd64 LiveCD still has the installer 0.3 and the busted "installer" script.

I tried the new image and it still uses the old installer. I updated it and will report other bugs :)

The latest builds have version 0.4.1 of the installer.
