Similarly, hwbrowser will also traceback if it encounters a removable-media SCSI device (such as my zip250 and jaz1g) that's connected, but has no media inserted. [anthrax:jcostom](11:00am)
/home/jcostom$ hwbrowser
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 158, in ?
setup_ui ()
File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 151, in setup_ui
DeviceDisk.initialize (xml, hardware)
File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceDisk.py", line 398, in initialize
disk = parted.PedDevice.get ('/dev/' + device.kudzu_device.device)
parted.error: Error: Error opening /dev/sda: No medium found
shouldn't crash anymore |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78C-SGI [en] (X11; I; IRIX 6.5 IP32) Description of problem: One of my systems had a couple of partitionless drives. hwbrowser, when run from a xterm, produces a trace back : Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 158, in ? setup_ui () File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 151, in setup_ui DeviceDisk.initialize (xml, hardware) File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceDisk.py", line 403, in initialize populate (ctree, disks, graph) File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceDisk.py", line 322, in populate disk = parted.PedDisk.open (device) parted.error: Error: Unable to open /dev/hde - unrecognised disk label. When run from the graphical tool, it simply dies, with no explanation. It should not die at all, or die more gracefully, with a message to inform the user appearing in a window, perhaps. Also, a similar thing seems to occur when hwbrowser encounters my USB devices and my OnStream DI30 tape drive. Max. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install partitionless disk drive. 2. run 'hwbrowser' within an xterm 3. Actual Results: it produces this message : Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 158, in ? setup_ui () File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py", line 151, in setup_ui DeviceDisk.initialize (xml, hardware) File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceDisk.py", line 403, in initialize populate (ctree, disks, graph) File "/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceDisk.py", line 322, in populate disk = parted.PedDisk.open (device) parted.error: Error: Unable to open /dev/hde - unrecognised disk label. Expected Results: It should produce a more user friendly message, and, if the graphical version is run, somehow inform the user. Additional info:
