does it work, if you add the "()" ? It starts up if I add it, yes. So that will fix this bug. It doesn't quite work properly still though, as non-root: The Activate/Deactivate buttons need to ask for root auth instead of just failing. /usr/bin/system-config-network asks for the root password with consolehelper. Well, it doesn't ask for the activate/deactivate buttons :) Ah, oh... "control" .. not "config" .. :) ok. Hmm, it should not display those devices, which are not user-controllable.. USERCTL=yes has to be set in the ifcfg-* file. And then "Activate" "Deactivate" should work. Hi, I am not an exact end-user, and would like to know how to fix this problem, please. Would you be kind enough to tell me where I have to add those two () ? Witch file and line ? thank you very much. I am currently stopped :-/ Ok, I got it :) Hi, please change line number 940 in '/usr/share/system-config-network//netconfpkg/NC_functions.py' file from: log.log(5, "Cannot write to %s" % (getRoot + "/")) to: log.log(5, "Cannot write to %s" % (getRoot() + "/")) After this change the system-control-network will work. I thing the requested info is provided, could this be fixed? system-config-network-1.4.5-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update system-config-network' *** Bug 398151 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #10) > system-config-network-1.4.5-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. > If you want to test the update, you can install it with > su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update system-config-network' Could not install this update package due to bug 374801. Grrrrrr! How does stuff like this get broken? This worked in FC5 (the latest FC that I was using). It seems FC8 is rife with bugs like this. Are changes not tested? Is there, or is there not, a formal test plan for testing these types of changes? <RANT> I'm starting to believe the people that say that Fedora is a dumping ground for RH. And I really don't want to! No offense meant. I'm just grumpy because I uninstalled "A command-line CD/DVD recording program" (that is the exact description in FC pkg manager) and it uninstalled *ALL* of Gnome. Sigh - stuff like that makes me want to bang my head on the wall. </RANT> Anyway, thanks for the fix, but how about testing changes. err, you should read what you uninstall, before you click "Ok" :) What is the bug number for your uninstall issue? system-config-network-1.4.7-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update system-config-network' *** Bug 427222 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 427627 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** What about moving the updated package from testing to stable? Thanks, Nicola system-config-network-1.4.7-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
