Description of problem: I just did a fresh install of FC4T3 and when I invoke system-config-lvm from the menu nothing happens. Invoking it from the command line yields a traceback with the following message Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-config-lvm", line 48, in ? from renderer import volume_renderer ImportError: No module named renderer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-lvm-0.9.25-1.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install fresh system 2.infoke system-config-lvm 3. Actual results: traceback Expected results: lvm wizard Additional info:
The file is definitely in the distribution, where it is supposed to be. I have checked this 6 ways from Sunday!
Well, I played around with this some more. First of all I remove system-config-lvm and removed /usr/share/system-config-lvm. I then reinstalled the rpm. Here is what I found * Invoking this from the Desktom->System Setting->Logical Volume Management doesn't bring up this tool. The little time icon runs for a while and then it disappears. * invoking "system-config-lvm" from the command line results in the renderer not found message coming up. * invoking "sudo system-config-lvm" (ie as root) brings the tool up and it seems to work. * invoking "system-config-lvm" after running it previously as root will result in a message "Please restart /usr/sbin/system-config-lvm with root permissions" * Using the menu to invoke the tool still doesn't work. Some observations: in other tools the python files *.py are read-execute by group and others. In system-config-lvm, they are not. When I invoke the tool as root the *.pyc files get created as read by everyone. I couldn't figure out why invoking it from the menu doesn't bring up the login as root prompt that all the other tools provide. Remember I am using a fresh install of FC4T3 so this is the state of lvm as it came from rawhide.
Ok I found out what is wrong. The entry in /usr/share/applications/system-config-lvm.desktop lists the exec path as /usr/sbin/system-config-lvm instead of /usr/bin/system-config-lvm.
ah - sorry to doubt you! Fixed in 0.9.30-1.0
