I have not actually seen it "working" (giving notification of new packages) but in any case it is not stable. You can start 'rhn-applet-gui' and the button appears on the panel and can be configured. But it does not survive X restarts and reboots (the button disappears from the panel and does not reappear later like the other icons/buttons). After a new 'rhn-applet-gui' command two buttons appear on the panel. The original (blue with tick mark) reappears and a new green one also appears. This is on phoebe 2 with all the updates (up2date). I cannot reproduce this:
1/ installed beta 2, rhn-applet was missing from the comps file
this is fixed now but as a result it wasn't installed by default.
2/ I upgraded to the latest version using up2date
3/ I installed rhn-applet using up2date
4/ rebooted to get a fresh install as would have resulted from
a clean install.
From there:
5/ login in Gnome, the applet shows up in the panel, asking for
action (red blinking)
6/ went through the couple of registration steps
7/ then the applet made the network connection (green) for 20 secs
8/ as no updates were needed it turned blue as expected.
9/ logged out and relogged in to check the behaviour
10/ the applet started and kept blue as expected since no update are available
Works for me !

I did precisely the same as in your steps 1/, 2/, 3/ and 4/. (except that I did not immediately reboot. I first finished some things I was busy with and then shut down the laptop. The things I finished had nothing to do with up2date or rhn or rhn-applet) When I rebooted the next day and entered gnome the (red) rhn-applet did NOT show up on the panel. Looking around I discovered a curious (green) rhn-applet entry in 'System Tools' with which you could do essentialy nothing. So I started the rhn-applet from the command line (just like under RH-8.0 whenever it had accidentaly been removed from the panel). This placed the applet on the panel but it was immediately the blue one. And this one does not survive X restarts and reboots. This doesn't sound like 100% correct behaviour to me. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021216 Description of problem: It has really not worked since mid december (i.e. Raw Hide). A full phoebe upgrade did not help, either. I've updated to latest Raw Hide of rhn*, pygtk2, pyorbit, gnome-python2* and pygtk2, plus pythin, FWIW. The error it reports in its current state is: # rhn-applet-gui Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rhn-applet-gui", line 16, in ? import rhn_utils File "/usr/bin/../share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_utils.py", line 17, in ? from rhn_applet_rpm import rhnAppletRPM File "/usr/bin/../share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_rpm.py", line 10, in ? import rpm ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rpmmodule.so: undefined symbol: rpmfiFColor I've seen different problems earlier. Also, there is no rhn_applet_gui in the gnome "Add to Panel" menu. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run rhn-applet-gui. Additional info: Version are: rhnlib-1.0-1 rhn-applet-2.0.6-1
