Description Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus 2008-06-14 11:52:34 UTC
Description of problem:
When setroubleshootd is started the following error message is generated in the
logfile:

2008-06-14 13:43:09,315 [rpc.ERROR] exception TypeError: not all arguments
converted during string formatting
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setroubleshoot/rpc.py", line 940, in

addr={unix}/var/run/setroubleshoot/setroubleshoot_server socket=None
type=sealert) not in client pool

Also if I try to connect to the daemon via "/usr/bin/sealert -b" (ak. SELinux
Troubleshooter) the same error message is generated in the logfile and the GUI
just says "connection lost to /var/run/setroubleshoot/setroubleshoot_server"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.6-1.fc9

Steps to Reproduce:
Just restart or connect to setroubleshootd

Comment 1 John Dennis 2008-06-15 18:08:27 UTC
I'm pretty sure this is a dup of bug 446661 which only occurs on PPC.

For a quick test of that theory edit
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setroubleshoot/access_control.py

and change SO_PEERCRED from 17 to 21

Comment 2 John Dennis 2008-06-15 18:12:38 UTC
Or you could try installing 2.0.7.1 which has the bug fix, but this hasn't been
pushed out yet, but you can download it from:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=49322

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2008-06-16 18:21:19 UTC
setroubleshoot-2.0.7-1.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9

Comment 4 Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus 2008-06-17 18:03:11 UTC
Version 2.0.7-1.fc9 didn't fix the problem. But I noticed another error message.
When I manually restart the daemon the following is returned to terminal:

$ /etc/init.d/setroubleshoot restart
Stopping setroubleshootd:                                  [  OK  ]
Starting setroubleshootd:                                  [  OK  ]
$ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setroubleshoot/server.py", line 221, in
on_connection_state_change
    self.uid, self.gid = self.access.get_credentials(self.socket_address.socket)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setroubleshoot/access_control.py", line
142, in get_credentials
    if family != socket.AF_UNIX:
NameError: global name 'socket' is not defined

The message in logfile is still the same.

Comment 5 John Dennis 2008-06-17 18:08:48 UTC
setroubleshoot-2.0.8-1.fc9 was pushed to updates-testing this morning to correct
this (a capitalization typo, it should have been 'Socket' not 'socket').

Comment 6 Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus 2008-06-17 18:31:34 UTC
In the spec file of setroubleshoot-2.0.8-1.fc9 is another typo.

Line 22:

Requires: libxml2-pythonRequires(post):   /usr/bin/update-desktop-database

Should be:

Requires: libxml2-python
Requires(post):   /usr/bin/update-desktop-database

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2008-06-17 19:08:55 UTC
setroubleshoot-2.0.8-2.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9

Comment 8 John Dennis 2008-06-17 19:09:06 UTC
Thank you! Must be my day for silly editing mistakes :-)
setroubleshoot-2.0.8-2.fc9 fixes the deleted line break. Pushed to updates-testing.

Comment 9 Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus 2008-06-17 19:20:33 UTC
Perfect, that version did it ;-)

I really missed setroubleshoot over the last weeks. It's a real nice app!

Comment 10 Fedora Update System 2008-07-09 02:43:46 UTC
setroubleshoot-2.0.8-2.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
