Description Tom London 2008-10-27 16:27:29 UTC
Description of problem:
After installing from Spin2, I notice that .dbus and .tmp are "left" in /.

[root@tlondon ~]# ls -ld /.dbus /.tmp
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 2008-10-17 14:06 /.dbus
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-10-17 14:04 /.tmp
[root@tlondon ~]# 

Shouldn't they be cleaned up?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.4.1.51-1.x86_64  (Curernt version, not sure which version was on Spin2)

In network.py, the /.tmp directory was still being used.  My mistake.  The /.dbus directory is not coming from anaconda.

I am testing out a patch for removal of the /.tmp usage before I commit it.

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2008-10-27 21:36:05 UTC
Removed our remaining uses of /.tmp

I cannot find anywhere in anaconda where we use /.dbus, so if that's still around, it's got to be another component.

The /.tmp fix will be in anaconda-11.4.1.52-1.  When that appears in rawhide, can you test installing and see if /.tmp is gone?

Comment 3 Tom London 2008-10-28 22:35:41 UTC
Uhhh... I've not tested anaconda before.

Let me look for some "directions" on the web....

Comment 4 Jesse Keating 2008-11-07 22:15:41 UTC
/.tmp is confirmed gone.  However /.dbus is still around.

The contents are a file that processes using display :9 to find the D-Bus session bus.  The DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-<goo>,guid=<goo>

Is that where anaconda starts the dbus session?

Comment 5 David Cantrell 2008-11-08 02:17:34 UTC
I just did an install of the latest rawhide and I'm not seeing /.dbus anywhere on the system.  Are we sure this is still happening?

Comment 6 Jesse Keating 2008-11-08 02:57:14 UTC
I don't see it post-install any more either.  Closing.
