RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tereza Cerna 2015-09-01 08:23:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
First profile selection fails with traceback on architecture ppc64 when package tuned is newly installed on machine and service is stopped.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tuned-2.5.1-3.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# yum install tuned
# arch
ppc64
# systemctl stop tuned.service
# systemctl status tuned.service | grep Active:
   Active: inactive (dead)
# tuned-adm list
Cannot talk to Tuned daemon via DBus. Is Tuned daemon running?
Available profiles:
- balanced
- desktop
- latency-performance
- network-latency
- network-throughput
- powersave
- throughput-performance
- virtual-guest
- virtual-host
Cannot talk to Tuned daemon via DBus. Is Tuned daemon running?
No current active profile.
# tuned-adm profile network-throughput
Cannot talk to Tuned daemon via DBus. Is Tuned daemon running?
Trying to (re)start tuned...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/tuned-adm", line 72, in <module>
    result = action(**options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tuned/admin/admin.py", line 80, in profile
    if retcode == 0:
NameError: global name 'retcode' is not defined
#
#
It is necessary to have newly installed tuned. 
Problem appears for first profile selection in the new installation of tuned.

Actual results:
There is traceback in current result.

Expected results:
It has to stop with any error message that service tuned is stopped.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-09-01 08:30:36 UTC 
This is not ppc64 specific, it can be easily reproduced on any arch by e.g.:
# systemctl start tuned
# tuned-adm profile throughput-performance
# systemctl stop tuned
# tuned-adm profile balanced

The problem is caused by typo, which wasn't catched by automatic testsuite. It's trivial fix and it was already fixed in upstream by following commit:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/tuned.git/commit/?id=7b4596ba21893f12181630d73d6ec99f447104bc

It could cause bad user experience, but it probably doesn't qualify as release blocker. If you think it's blocker, please propose it.

What I don't understand is why tuned isn't running on ppc64 after installation. It should.
