I reinstalled the configuration tool for SAMBA following several days of inconsistent behavior from the app and now it aborts everytime I attempt to start it.

I tried to use samba config after doing a system update.
Config crashes every time I try to start it.
It worked ok before doing the latest update.

Installed samba using kpackagekit
On installation, system asked me to click on Samba to start it
This crash occurred

Comment 5 Nils Philippsen 2011-06-27 08:30:58 UTC
This is actually a bug in the new python-slip-dbus version which didn't account for some apps manually setting default bus timeouts to "None" in order to specify "no timeout".

This is also happening to the Firewall GUI.

Everytime I try to open system-config-samba abrt warns me this crash and program doesn't start!
But starting by "sudo system-config-samba" is ok.
