RHBA-2013:1595 - firstboot bug fix update
Synopsis
firstboot bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated firstboot packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The firstboot utility runs after system installation and guides the user through a series of steps that allows for easier configuration of the machine.
- The code handling the response to a two-button dialog prompted the user to click one of the buttons. After clicking the close button or pressing the Escape key, the response was ignored, and the post-installation process continued even after disagreeing to the end-user license agreement (EULA) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. With this update, the code has been modified to close the dialog and stay on the underlying screen. As a result, clicking the close button or pressing the Escape key works as expected. (BZ#876018)
Users of firstboot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
