Fedora Core 3 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 FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! rhn-applet was replaced by pirut and put (package pirut) as of FC5. Only FC5 and FC6 are currently fully supported; FC3 and FC4 are supported for security fixes only. If this bug occurs in FC3 or FC4 and is a security bug, please change the product to Fedora Extras and the version to match. If you can verify that the bug exists in RHEL as well, please change the product and version appropriately. The codebase for pirut and pup is quite different, but if a similar bug exists in pirut and pup in FC5 or FC6, please change the product to pirut and the version appropriately and update the bug report. We apologize that the bug was not fixed before now. The status will be changed to NEEDINFO, and if the bug is not updated with evidence that it is a security bug or a bug that affects RHEL, it will be closed. Note that rhn-applet may still be present on upgraded systems, and in general will not function correctly on such systems. That is not a bug; anaconda does not generally erase removed packages upon upgrades. Closing per previous comment. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: while first setting up my gnome desktop, i deleted the bottom panel and put everything on the top panel. when i tried to reactivate the rhn-applet icon, i discovered that it wouldn't work on a top panel. i tried to set up a new bottom panel and then replace the applet, but that didn't work either. with both panels i used the menu item supplied to attempt replacement; it didn't occur to me to try the command line. three days later, after i updated some things from raw hide (namely system-config*, gconf, gpdf, and several others i can't remember), i logged into gnome and the initial splash screen stayed on for something like a minute, freezing on the last part where it says red hat network monitor. every time i logged in, it did this, until i rpm -e'd rhn-applet. that fixed the splash problem. something else i wish i had done but didn't was check ps after the reinstall attempt to see if it was just the icon missing. no crash was reported. hope this helps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-applet-2.11.1-1 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.start with basic core3test3 2.delete bottom panel on gnome desktop 3.click menu>system>redhatnetworkhelper(or something like that) 4.upgrade random parts of redhat gui system tools 5.logout then login to gnome Actual Results: rhn-applet went awol then splash went screwy Expected Results: icon on panel Additional info: laptop: compaq 2178cl: nothing special
