From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1 Description of problem: The rhn applet icon displayed its red exclamation point, indicating the machine was out of date. I clicked on the rhn icon and successfully downloaded and installed available updates. Following completion of the updates, the applet icon image changed to a gray question mark. Allowing the mouse pointer to hover over the icon displayed the message "Error connecting to RHN...". When I clicked on the icon, an exception message dialog appeared. Following is the text of the message: ===================================================== Exception Occured ----------------------------------------------------- An unhandled exception has occured. This is most likely a bug. Please copy the full text of this exception into an email and send it to applet.com. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------- Exception type exceptions.TypeError Exception Handler Information Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet.py", line 582, in refresh self.model.refresh(force) File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_model.py", line 447, in refresh source.refresh(force) File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_source.py", line 35, in refresh self._do_refresh() File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_rpc.py", line 190, in _do_refresh server = self.create_server() File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_rpc.py", line 80, in create_server s = apply(rpclib.Server, [], options) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 148, in __init__ type, uri = urllib.splittype(uri) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 959, in splittype match = _typeprog.match(url) TypeError: expected string or buffer ===================================================== After closing the dialog the rhn applet icon changed to a blue check-mark. Allowing the mouse pointer to hover over the icon displayed the message "Waiting before checkin...". About a minute later, the icon changed back to the gray question mark and the same exception was raised. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-applet-2.1.17-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on rhn icon when it's red. 2. Download and install updates. 3. Click on rhn icon when it's gray. Actual Results: Applet exception was raised as described above. Expected Results: The applet should change to blue check-mark and remain that way until updates are available. Additional info: A nearly identical server with an identical RHEL4 installation in another building (using a different Internet connection) does not exhibit this behavior. Each server connects through the Road Runner Business Class cable internet service in the building in which it resides. I have submitted this exception twice to applet.com as requested but never got any feedback.
