Do you have system-config-kdump rpm installed? (rpm -q system-config-kdump)

This is the feedback from "Fedora 12 software translation review" [1].

I'm unable to run live cd on my virtual machine. Can you please check if the problem is still in rawhide? In system-config-kdump-2.0.1-1.fc13

I could not fine fc13, but found and upgraded to system-config-kdump-2.0.1-1.fc12.
After upgrading, same error message displayed.

This looks like dbus doesn't reload the file. Do you have file `/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.fedoraproject.systemconfig.kdump.mechanism.service'? Also I see some AVC denials - is there something interesting for s-c-kdump?

Yes, there is.

Sorry I don't understand what you look after...

--- Additional comment from rrakus on 2009-10-08 04:45:53 EDT ---

Can you please try to restart dbus-daemon? This can stop some applications... (service messagebus restart)

Is there something in /var/log/messages talking about system-config-kdump? (cat /var/log/messages | grep system-config-kdump)

I've been following this ticket, having identical problems.  I can be of some help here too.

Since updating selinux, not getting selinux errors in /var/log/messages nor any regarding system-config-kdump.

If I do a grep on kdump, i get errors about a lack of a crash kernel (which makes sense as i haven't been able to configure kdump):

Oct 11 14:06:25 kraken kdump: No crashkernel parameter specified for running kernel
Oct 11 14:06:25 kraken kdump: failed to start up
Oct 11 14:51:29 kraken kdump: No crashkernel parameter specified for running kernel
Oct 11 14:51:29 kraken kdump: failed to start up

and I'm not getting relevant dbus errors either:

Oct 11 14:07:01 kraken dbus: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.26" (uid=42 pid=1641 comm="gnome-power-manager) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel" member="GetBrightness" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination=":1.1" (uid=0 pid=1132 comm="hald))

Anything else you'd like me to check?

--- Additional comment from rrakus on 2009-10-12 04:28:49 EDT ---

So, after updating selinux (policy I guess), the problem with dbus and s-c-kdump goes away?

--- Additional comment from bharrington on 2009-10-12 10:26:58 EDT ---

Well, I stop getting AVC denials... but the errors from the screenshot posted and the console are identical.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Do you still see errors after rebooting system? Restarting dbus should be sufficient.

--- Additional comment from petersen on 2009-12-09 23:09:58 EST ---

Yes installing after rebooting and it runs ok.

So guess you want a friendly error dialog saying no dbus service or something?

--- Additional comment from rrakus on 2009-12-10 03:46:36 EST ---

Well, the problem is, dbus is not (re)loading configuration files when they are added/changed. So you have to restart dbus.
Nevertheless, some friendly error message saying that is expected.

Can you please try system-config-kdump-2.0.2-2?

--- Additional comment from petersen on 2010-03-22 23:01:09 EDT ---

system-config-kdump.noarch 0:2.0.2-2.fc12 gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):

OK, I will do some magic with this bug.
Closing this one as fixed in system-config-kdump-2.0.2-2.
I will clone this bug to track that s-c-kdump is not catching exceptions from dbus.
