Yes, the text UI should probably allow for setting the date as well. Marking this as RFE. Thanks for looking at this Nils. I don't care how its marked as long as there's some honesty about the program's actions. I think I would have put up a "Not implemented yet" message instead of calling the wrong program. Also, the timeconfig tui program only sets the timezone...which is helpful, but not complete. Nowhere in it can you set the time. Should this be another bug report? No need for another bug report -- I'll use this one as the "text versions of redhat-/system-config-date seriously lack functionality" umbrella bug. *** Bug 129319 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This RFE has been open without action for a long time. Closing as DEFERRED to reflect the actual situation. I'm unhappy that this is being closed deferred. From my experience that means it won't be fixed. The TUI applications *are* important (go on an RH cert course and see). Unbelievable, but in FC7 test 4 all we get is a:
Text mode is deprecated
And then the console switches to a white on blue with the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/usr/share/system-config-date/system-config-date.py", line 82, in <module>

Oops. I've updated the timezone handling so timezones in the UI don't include the underscores that the files beneath /usr/share/zoneinfo have and it seems I have forgotten about (yeah, totally neglected) the text mode tool. I think I've fixed it in upstream CVS. Due to the devel freeze I'll be rebuilding the package only one further time mid next week (barring unexpected issues), so you'd need to check out the CVS version: 1.) Log into anonymous CVS with an empty password (just hit return): cvs -d :pserver:anonymous.com:/usr/local/CVS login 2.) Check out the current code: cvs -d :pserver:anonymous.com:/usr/local/CVS co -z4 system-config-date 3.) change to the system-config-date/src directory 4a.) now you can start the whole thing: ./system-config-date.py 4b.) or only the textmode thing: ./timeconfig.py Next time please open a separate bugzilla ticket, as this was a regression to be fixed, not a feature request. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 Description of problem: The system-config-date package has no utility for setting the date on the console. Looking at the code for system-config-date.py, I see this: def useGuiMode(page): try: import mainWindow except: #Starting the GUI failed, so let's start the text mode UI import timeconfig sys.exit(0) Yep, it starts the time setting window! This was supposed to be the date setting utility. Shouldn't this say 'import dateconfig'. Shouldn't there be a dateconfig? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-date-1.7.3-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/bin/python2 /usr/share/system-config-date/system-config-date.py Actual Results: Time setting window pops up Expected Results: Date setting window pops up Additional info:
