I can't reproduce that here. Please run system-config-date again, this time from the command line/terminal and post any error messages here, along with the output of these commands: ls -l /etc/ntp.conf /etc/sysconfig/network ls -lZ /etc/ntp.conf /etc/sysconfig/network NB: You shouldn't (need to) turn off SELinux nowadays. Is there any particular reason why you felt you had to do that? Hello Nils. Sorry for the delayed response. I was training for my RHCT last week (passed!) so I did not gave an opportunity to run your tests until today. # system-config-date Returns: [Errno 61] No data available When I check "Synchronize date and time over the network" and hit OK. # ls -l /etc/ntp.conf /etc/sysconfig/network -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1915 Jun 16 10:02 /etc/ntp.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41 Jun 16 09:48 /etc/sysconfig/network # ls -lZ /etc/ntp.conf /etc/sysconfig/network -rw-r--r-- root root ? /etc/ntp.conf -rw-r--r-- root root ? /etc/sysconfig/network FWIW, I turn off SELinux in kickstart because I pull all of the SELinux tools out of the build to keep the size under my self-imposed limit. It seems like a cleaner solution to turn it off if it is not available. Thanks, Dave Taking your hint, I let SELinux relable my disk and put it in "permissive" mode. Once I did that, system-config-date & the ntp check box function correctly. It appears system-config-date no longer works unless SELinux is enabled. I put the default (?) SELinux stuff back in my build and it added about 27MB to the size. That is a Bad Thing (tm). I have about 9MB of free space for the build. If there is a minimal SELinux installation that can be used that is less than 10MB then I will be happy to add it, otherwise I think system-config-date should be fixed to work without SELinux again. Hi Dave, it seems as if some things were broken if SELinux is switched off, see bug #627788, so please try out if things work with python-slip-0.2.13: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc13 This needs libselinux/libselinux-python, but shouldn't need a complete SELinux stack. Hello Nils. I updated the 3 python-slip files from your Koji link: python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc13.noarch python-slip-dbus-0.2.13-1.fc13.noarch python-slip-gtk-0.2.13-1.fc13.noarch I also have the following libselinux packages from the default repos: libselinux-utils-2.0.90-5.fc13.i686 libselinux-2.0.90-5.fc13.i686 libselinux-python-2.0.90-5.fc13.i686 After applying the updates, system-config-date & the ntp checkbox seems to be working as designed. I would say you could add # 623237 to the Bugs Fixed list for your patch. Hopefully you can get it pushed to testing & updates in the not too distant future. Thanks for the help! Dave python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc13 python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc12 python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc14 Quick update: I am creating some test kickstart builds with the new packages. So far, it looks like the anaconda installer does not like to run if SELinux is in permissive mode. I am trying to create a new image with the python-slip updates and once dine I will try installing with SELinux in various modes. Updating the packages after installing seems to work but I am having a bear of a time trying to get them to work in a live image. The hard disk installer crashes not far into the install process. (Bug 629320) The crash on install is due to Bug 626780. Making sure the kickstart does not update NetworkManager components past v. 0.8.1-1 seems to solve the issue. python-slip-0.2.13-1.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository.
