Description Sudesh 2017-10-08 15:13:10 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1412714 +++

Description of problem:

system-switch-mail does not work in text console like it was in previous Fedora releases.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

system-switch-mail-1.0.2-1.fc26.noarch

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install system-switch-mail
2. run "system-switch-mail"

Actual results:

Error accessing /usr/share/system-switch-mail/switchmail_gui.py: No such file or directory

Expected results:

Console version of system-switch-mail should be displayed. I don't see any information in changelog, that tui is no longer supported.

Additional info:

There was already a bug open for a previous version on FC25, apparently it's not fixed yet.

This is my /usr/bin/system-switch-mail script:
#! /bin/sh

if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] ; then
        echo Authentication is needed to run system-switch-mail as super user
        su -c "/usr/share/system-switch-mail/switchmail_tui.py"
else
        /usr/bin/pkexec /usr/share/system-switch-mail/switchmail_gui.py
fi
