Description Adam Williamson 2011-04-27 00:14:03 UTC

The last bootchart update claims a fix for "bootchart failed to write bootchart.png and displayed an error: "Can't write to %s bootchart.png"", but this doesn't seem really fixed in bootchart-0.14.0-1.2.git20110331.fc15.x86_64 . I think the %s bit is gone, but it still can't write the file:

[adamw@adam ~]$ bootchart -o /home/adamw
No path given, trying /var/log/bootchart.tgz
parsing '/var/log/bootchart.tgz'
parsing 'header'
parsing 'cmdline2.log'
parsing 'paternity.log'
parsing 'proc_cpuinfo.log'
parsing 'proc_diskstats.log'
parsing 'proc_meminfo.log'
parsing 'proc_stat.log'
parsing 'taskstats.log'
merged 0 logger processes
pruned 767 process, 0 exploders, 156 threads, and 8 runs
Can't write to /home/adamw/bootchart.png

happens every time I try, with or without a -o parameter. I don't see an SELinux denial so I don't think that's it.

Comment 1 Edouard Bourguignon 2011-04-29 14:39:00 UTC

touch bootchart.png works for me as a workaround

yep. same here

Comment 3 Mladen Kuntner 2011-06-25 10:08:38 UTC

In
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pybootchartgui/main.py

we have:

if not os.access(filename, os.W_OK):
  print("Can't write to %s" % filename);
  return 2

As file "bootchart.png" does not exists
this test will not succeed.

If we just delete this 3 lines bootchart command with no parameters
creates bootchart.png file.
