## Symptoms

- * When running the First Time Configuration Wizard (FTW) from Expert mode on the affected Gaia system, the Wizard does not start and displays:

  `bash: config_system: command not found`
* The *config_system* executable is not present, but *config_system.orig* exists in */usr/bin*.
  Example:

  ```
  [Expert@GW:0]# which config_system
  /usr/bin/which: no config_system in $PATH
  ```

  ```
  [Expert@GW:0]# which config_system.orig
  /usr/bin/config_system.orig
  ```

## Cause

Gaia is installed or upgraded using a Blink image before the First Time Configuration Wizard is completed. In this condition, the executable may remain stored as:  

`/usr/bin/config_system.orig`  

instead of:  

`/usr/bin/config_system`  

As a result, FTW cannot invoke the required command.
