Description of problem:
system-config-network becomes unresponsive when I try saving changes
made to the profile. After force quitting the GUI the process stays up
and consumes 100% CPU time.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start system-config-network
2. Change any values in the DNS tab
3. Choose File -> Save
    

Actual Results:  The changes are not saved. Process consumes 100% CPU
time and hangs.

Expected Results:  The profile is saved.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2004-06-03 08:42:18 UTC
ughh.. never heard of that.. I'll try to reproduce...

Comment 2 Laszlo V. 2004-06-03 15:24:10 UTC
Is there anything I can do to provide more information regarding the
bug, such as logs? I'm new to using bugzilla and bug reporting in
particular.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2004-06-03 15:56:57 UTC
well, try to start it from a shell:

$ su -
password:

# system-config-network

maybe, s.th. is printed on the terminal, which can give us more
information what's going on.

Comment 4 Laszlo V. 2004-06-03 16:20:08 UTC
Nothing else was printed. After the GUI became unresponsive, I hit
Ctrl + C in the terminal which brought up the "Force quit" dialog.
Then I got dumped back into the terminal.

I'm running a fully up-to-date, clean install of FC2 with all stock RPMs.

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2004-06-15 12:39:26 UTC
ok, please call:

# system-config-network-gui -vvvvvvvv -ddddddd

Comment 6 Laszlo V. 2004-06-15 14:26:27 UTC
Created attachment 101149 [details]
Console output

Comment 7 Laszlo V. 2004-06-15 14:29:08 UTC
That did it.

Looks like system-config-network-gui cannot handle large /etc/hosts
files (like mine, 531 KB) too well. Everything went fine until it
tried adding every entry in /etc/hosts to
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts, at a rate of about 4
per second. With a file that large, that's going to take a long time,
hence the unresponsiveness.

See console output above (khmmm).

Comment 8 Matthew Miller 2005-04-26 15:03:36 UTC
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Comment 9 Scott R. Godin 2006-06-29 17:25:03 UTC
confirm bug still exists in FC5 

and I quote: "Every time"

Comment 10 Knut J BJuland 2007-03-30 11:15:45 UTC
It still exists in latest rawhide.

Knut, check /etc/ppp/pap.conf and /etc/ppp/chap.conf .. seems like they are 
corrupted.

bug #439718

Comment 18 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 01:56:35 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 19 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 21:58:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 20 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 16:57:46 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
