Description Fabrice Bellet 2012-12-09 21:12:32 UTC

use configobj to parse config file

recent tuned profiles have a [sysfs] section, where key,value couples are wrongly parsed by ConfigParser. This module allows both '=' and ':' to be a valid separator, which causes problems with entries like this one:

#Runtime PM for PCI Device NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:0e:00.0/power/control=auto

key=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000
and value=0e:00.0/power/control=auto

A possible solution is to switch to configobj instead, which works as expected, with minimal modifications to the code.

Thanks for spotting this.

Added alternate patch, that doesn't require python-configobj dep.

I took your patch, thanks. We will use the configobj parser to extend/clean the code for e.g. type verification.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-02-14 10:10:46 UTC
This should be fixed in tuned-2.1.2, the current version in f18 is tuned-2.2.0-1.fc18. Thus I think this is already fixed. If the problem persists feel free to reopen.
