Stepconf wizard machinename not defined

Hi
Getting this error with stepconf wizard in EMC2.3.2. (Ubuntu 8.04)


Stepconf encountered an error. The following information may be useful in troubleshooting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/stepconf", line 1817, in on_complete_finish
self.data.save()
File "/usr/bin/stepconf", line 1075, in save
shortcut = os.path.join(desktop, machinename)
NameError: global name 'machinename' is not defined


Can anyone help please?

Silly question: Is you machine name defined?
(google ubuntu machine name)

Hi
Thanks for the reply
Yes and it worked OK in previous versions of EMC
only falling down since newest upgrade

I just did a complete install of the new liveCD because an upgrade bombed badly. I got the same problem trying to run stepconf. THis is the error. Any yes I entered a machine name..

I am not familiar with py code but I hacked on stepconf program as follows.

1075c1075
< shortcut = os.path.join(desktop, machinename)
---
> shortcut = os.path.join(desktop, self.machinename)

I copied stepconf to stepconf_test and change the one line. I ran stepconf_test from a terminal window by just typing in the name. It created all the necessary files and links on the desktop but it did print some warnings.

Now my machine is basically working.

Uncheck the "Create a desktop shortcut (symlink) to configuration files." works ok
and after first use, a desktop shortcut appears on the desktop and works too

thanks
