system-config-firewall is crashing on startup with the following messages: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/system-config-firewall.py", line 41, in <module> ui.run() File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_gui.py", line 1264, in run self.readFile() File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_gui.py", line 841, in readFile self.loadDefaults() File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_gui.py", line 1192, in loadDefaults if device.Alias and dev.Alias != "": AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'Alias' I have two F8 systems, one of which this works fine on. Could this have anything to do with the fact that the failing system has an aliased Ethernet connection (eth0 and eth0:1) so it can have two static IP addresses to work on different networks. Version-Release number of selected component: system-config-firewall-1.0.8-3.fc8
i've encountered the same problem on my F8 (same system-config-firewall-1.0.8-3.fc8). the line 1192 in "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_gui.py" > if device.Alias and dev.Alias != "": seems to contain an error and should be changed into > if device.Alias and device.Alias != "":
Good suggestion Loran. I applied your fix and it works fine now.
system-config-firewall-1.0.11-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
