stateless problems

[Peter Schobel]

Hi,

update

i yum installed gdm on the client along with the other 55 pkgs in the
dependency list and then logged out and back in to create the
.Xauthority file

then i got this error

[root at store-lan1-100 ~]# cd /usr/share/stateless/
[root at store-lan1-100 stateless]# python bootstrap.py -r /reserve-root -b
/reserve-boot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bootstrap.py", line 35, in ?
    import gtk.glade

so i yum installed pygtk2-libglade

and now when i run the command, a gui interface pops up on my
workstation for a brief second and then i get this error

[root at store-lan1-100 stateless]# python bootstrap.py -r /reserve-root -b
/reserve-boot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bootstrap.py", line 324, in ?
    run ('aware-of-vacuity.boston.redhat.com',
'dc=sml-demo,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com', True)
  File "bootstrap.py", line 321, in run
    gui.run()
  File "bootstrap.py", line 118, in run
    r = replicator.BootstrapReplicator (self.ldap_uri, self.root_dn,
self.debug)
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 3 arguments (4 given)

thx in advance,

Peter Schobel
