One-line fix
Trivial patch: treat blank lines the same as comments.
Patch applied. Should be fixed in redhat-config-nfs-1.0.4-2. Thanks for your help. QA, please verify. *** Bug 84917 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** - Inserted a lot of blank lines before a valid entry in /etc/exports. - Inserted a lot of blank lines between a couple of valid entries in /etc/exports. - Inserted a lot of blank lines after a couple of valid entries in /etc/exports. In all cases, redhat-config-nfs-1.0.4-3 started properly and rewrote the /etc/exports file without blanks. So... verified fixed with "redhat-config-nfs-1.0.4-3" on Phoebe 8.0.94. Thanks for the testing. Resolving as Rawhide. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: I initially edited /etc/exports with vi, which, more or less by default, added a blank line to the end. This was fine, as far as exportfs was concerned; but, when I later went to examine the settings with redhat-config-nfs, it crashed. The error output is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/redhat-config-nfs.py", line 29, in ? mainWindow.mainWindow() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/mainWindow.py", line 141, in __init__ self.exports = nfsBackend.NfsBackend() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 31, in __init__ self.parseFile() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 89, in parseFile hostname, options = string.split(tokens[1], "(") IndexError: list index out of range (Note that, the first couple of times I tried it, I was using it from the menu, and just didn't get any kind of feedback at all. I think GNOME ought to have some sort of convention for providing error messages on programs run via menu items and launchers.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place a blank line in /etc/exports (I've seen it with the blank line at the start and at the end). 2. Run redhat-config-nfs Actual Results: Error messages. Expected Results: A window coming up.
