Description Michal Nowak 2011-04-19 12:28:26 UTC

Description of problem:

When oprofile is not initialized (via `opcontrol --init`) eclipse-oprofile keeps asking for password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

eclipse-oprofile-0.6.1-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

always

Actual results:

Eclipse asks for a root password, after user inserts correct one, eclipse asks again, and again.

Expected results:

Eclipse does initialization, if necessary. Asks for a password and does the profiling when password is correct.

Additional info:

When I initialize manually prio profiling, it works as expected.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-20 06:00:27 UTC

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Severin, have you seen this behaviour?

Comment 4 Severin Gehwolf 2011-04-20 13:19:16 UTC

No, I haven't. I'll have a look.

Comment 5 Severin Gehwolf 2011-04-20 14:36:05 UTC

FWIW, the eclipse-oprofile code should handle "opcontrol --init".

Michal, sorry but I cannot reproduce. Are you sure you were using the correct root password? consolehelper GUI keeps popping up if the password is incorrect.

What version of oprofile/kernel do you have? I have the following:

$ uname -r
2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
$ rpm -q oprofile
oprofile-0.9.6-12.el6.x86_64
$ rpm -q eclipse-oprofile
eclipse-oprofile-0.6.1-1.el6.x86_64

Thanks!

I just realize that my machine is running in permissive mode (SELinux). Could it be that SELinux is interfering? If I "$ setenforce 1" then I see some audit messages in audit.log, but requests are allowed. What's your SELinux config?

Comment 7 Michal Nowak 2011-04-20 16:17:10 UTC

Hmm, can't reproduce it locally nor even on the same box as last time. Perhaps the manual --init "fixed" it. Sorry, for the noise...
