What do the following commands give? ls -l /etc/init.d/ ls -l /etc/rc?.d/ Created attachment 108791 [details]
results of ls -l /etc/init.d/
Created attachment 108792 [details]
results of ls -l /etc/rc?.d/
The results have been added as attachments. Hmm, system-config-services-0.8.16-1 is in Rawhide and not expected to work on FC3 -- can you reproduce the problem with either 0.8.15-1 on FC3 or 0.8.16-1 on Rawhide? If you can reproduce it, please run (one line) strace -Ff -s 160 -o /tmp/system-config-services.out /usr/sbin/system-config-services as root and attach the resulting file "/tmp/system-config-services.out". Created attachment 109193 [details]
results of strace -Ff -s 160 -o /tmp/system-config-services.out /usr/sbin/system-config-services
I removed 0.8.16-1 and installed 0.8.15-1. The results are for FC3 with
the 0.8.15-1. I had gone to 0.8.16-1 in hopes it would fix the problem.
This is reproduceable and has been since day one.
I think I'm getting somewhere, the problem you have (and I don't ;-) seems to be related to this file in /etc/init.d: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Oct 21 12:43 avfbackground -> /usr/local/sitescape/avfbackground.sh This is a dangling symbolic link (i.e. the target doesn't exist), chkconfig gives an error message and system-config-services throws the traceback above. Don't remove the file right now -- I want you to test it when I've come up with a fix. Fixed in CVS. The quick fix is throwing away stderr when running subcommands in getstatusoutput(), stderr doesn't seem to be needed anywhere else. Later/ideally the code grepping through chkconfig output should do at least cursory checking whether the output is in the expected format and give warnings if not. Should be fixed in system-config-services-0.8.17-0.fc3.1, pleasy verify. The bug has been fixed. Close this one and thanks. You can remove the dangling symlink now. Thanks for your report. |
