Description James Gregory-Monk 2008-04-29 11:35:19 UTC

Description of problem:
When submitting a profile using the smolt-gui, it gives you a link to your Smolt
home page, but does not reveal what the admin password is for your profile.
However, running smoltSendProfile and re-submitting the profile, the admin
password is output after the profile has been submitted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.1.1-4.fc9

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the Smolt GUI
2. Submit your profile to Smolt, or access your Smolt home page
  
Actual results:
No details are provided for the admin password to your Smolt profile

Expected results:
The details about your admin password would be available somewhere within the
Smolt GUI

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:22:11 UTC

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 2 Andrew Wafaa 2008-09-05 12:44:54 UTC

Same issue on openSUSE using version smolt-1.1.1.1-17.1.  Once you do get an admin password you encounter Bug 460099.

Comment 3 James Gregory-Monk 2008-11-26 09:47:37 UTC

This error is still present in smolt-1.1.1.1-8.fc9 - smolt-gui doesn't show the password, but using smoltSendProfile does.

Comment 4 v.plessky 2008-12-01 00:15:50 UTC

This bug is still present in Smolt shipped with Fedora 10:

smolt-gui-1.1.1.1-9.fc10
smolt-1.1.1.1-9.fc10

Data in Smolt would be not accurate until Admin password is provided via Smolt-gui interface.
Few people would read FAQ and re-run smolt from CLI.

Comment 5 v.plessky 2008-12-01 00:31:09 UTC

BTW: I can confirm that Fedora rpms:

smolt-gui-1.1.1.1-9.fc10
smolt-1.1.1.1-9.fc10

work fine on Mandriva Linux 2009.0.

Just posted profile and checked-in what works:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_6680f058-34e4-40cd-b19c-73213057f94e 
 
The only problem during installation was requirements of "python(abi)"

# rpm -i python-paste-1.7.1-1.fc10.noarch.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
	python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by python-paste-1.7.1-1.fc10.noarch

"python(abi)" is not provided by python package on Mandriva 2009
(python-2.5.2-5mdv2009.0)

Comment 6 Mike McGrath 2008-12-09 18:51:22 UTC

The problem here is none of us smolt guys know anything about gui programming. 

You can always run "smoltSendProfile -a" to get it.  Otherwise it'll have to take one of us some time to learn how to code it or for someone to work with us to make a patch.  Sorry, I know thats not very helpful right now.

Comment 7 James Gregory-Monk 2008-12-09 20:12:10 UTC

That's fair enough. Would it perhaps be possible to make a note somewhere - the help guide perhaps or on the wiki - which explains how to find the password?

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 09:33:56 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 9 Tomasz Chrzczonowicz 2009-07-09 22:42:27 UTC

This problem is still there after Fedora 11 release.

Comment 10 Mike McGrath 2009-07-20 21:53:42 UTC

Just fixed upstream, it'll be out in the next release.
