This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fixed upstream, will be released with the version we're shipping in a week or two. Has this update been abandoned? It is two months since comment #2 ! smolt-1.3-1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/smolt-1.3-1.fc11 Closing this bug was perhaps premature. Trying the new build smolt-1.3-1.fc11 [mike@samsung2 ~]$ smoltSendProfile Unable to save UUID, continuing... Your UUID file could not be created: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/smolt/hw-uuid' The file referenced does not exist in the /etc/smolt directory. ... that has nothing to do with the bug you reported. I'll fix it in a bit though. Oh wait, this is from you not running smolt as root. It doesn't have permission to write there. But I have never had to run smolt as root before F11? Has policy changed? In F10 I can run smoltSendProfile as a normal user and there is no hw-uuid created in /etc/smolt/ Confirmed that the new version does work as root but not as user - which is more secure and probably better than previous versions. The comments I added above refer to running on a Samsung NC10 with smolt data http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_bf13b7f1-dd7f-4f20-a181-8ec47e7a6818 However strangely I tried the original smolt running in F11 on a Dell Dimension 2400 which allowed me to run smoltSendProfile as a normal user though with the originally reported bug symptoms. However it did generate the profile correctly and produced it in http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_eddb6cf9-b933-4c1b-9eb2-23cb0d984056 Then I updated from smolt-1.2-4.2.fc11 to smolt-1.3-1.fc11 Then it gives the same behaviour as in comments #9 and #10 So it seems that the need to run as root is new behaviour - which I do endorse! You can still run smoltSendProfile as a non-root user. The error you are seeing is a non-fatal error. It just indicates that normal users can't write to /etc/ because they can't :) smolt-1.3-1.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
