Description of problem: When started via the menu, nothing happens. When started via terminal, the following traceback is printed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/system-control-network", line 484, in <module> window = mainDialog() File "/usr/bin/system-control-network", line 117, in __init__ self.devicelist = self.getProfDeviceList() File "/usr/bin/system-control-network", line 406, in getProfDeviceList profilelist = getProfileList(refresh) File "/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/NCProfileList.py", line 652, in getProfileList __PFList.load() File "/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/NCProfileList.py", line 75, in load changed = updateNetworkScripts() File "/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/NC_functions.py", line 940, in updateNetworkScripts log.log(5, "Cannot write to %s" % (getRoot + "/")) TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'function' and 'str' I'm guessing the problem is just that getRoot is missing its (), but there could be some deeper problem.

does it work, if you add the "()" ?
It starts up if I add it, yes. So that will fix this bug. It doesn't quite work properly still though, as non-root: The Activate/Deactivate buttons need to ask for root auth instead of just failing.
/usr/bin/system-config-network asks for the root password with consolehelper.
Well, it doesn't ask for the activate/deactivate buttons :)
Ah, oh... "control" .. not "config" .. :) ok. Hmm, it should not display those devices, which are not user-controllable.. USERCTL=yes has to be set in the ifcfg-* file. And then "Activate" "Deactivate" should work.
Hi, I am not an exact end-user, and would like to know how to fix this problem, please. Would you be kind enough to tell me where I have to add those two () ? Witch file and line ? thank you very much. I am currently stopped :-/
Ok, I got it :)
Hi, please change line number 940 in '/usr/share/system-config-network//netconfpkg/NC_functions.py' file from: log.log(5, "Cannot write to %s" % (getRoot + "/")) to: log.log(5, "Cannot write to %s" % (getRoot() + "/")) After this change the system-control-network will work.
I thing the requested info is provided, could this be fixed?

Grrrrrr! How does stuff like this get broken? This worked in FC5 (the latest FC that I was using). It seems FC8 is rife with bugs like this. Are changes not tested? Is there, or is there not, a formal test plan for testing these types of changes? <RANT> I'm starting to believe the people that say that Fedora is a dumping ground for RH. And I really don't want to! No offense meant. I'm just grumpy because I uninstalled "A command-line CD/DVD recording program" (that is the exact description in FC pkg manager) and it uninstalled *ALL* of Gnome. Sigh - stuff like that makes me want to bang my head on the wall. </RANT> Anyway, thanks for the fix, but how about testing changes.
err, you should read what you uninstall, before you click "Ok" :)
What is the bug number for your uninstall issue?
