this issue contains multiple issues

1. What is the expected output? Tkinter based splash page.

as you download form source, you should have Tk available, in the output from (5) it is indicaed you do no have it: "WARNING:root:GUI not available because Tk library is not installed"

1. If web2py server is shutdown and restarted then the warning about cron.master does not appear. default behaviour: when cron.master is not existing, it will be created on first run.
2. Kpax cms was installed as 'cms'. At some point during creation of first access account to kpax the following message was printed on the server terminal screen: :1: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

Kpax is to be installed seperately (does not match your reproduce steps). Using MD5 instead of hashlib is to provide some compatibility with Python 2.4

Besides, KPAX is a seperate application(web2py based) and not part of web2py

1. The first action after login with new user was to

See last remark at previous point.

The only issue is the last one about list not having a replace method. This is an incompatibility between python and 2.6 and 2.5 cgi module. We only support 2.5 for this reason.

Status: Invalid

I also got the "WARNING:root:GUI not available because Tk library is not installed" message.

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 in a virtual box.

It may be obvious to all but me but I was able to resolve the problem by installing python-tk.
