Description Adam Huffman 2007-11-26 12:03:49 UTC
Description of problem:
I've had a number of problems since upgrading to F8, some of which are SELinux
related.  Unfortunately, the sealert applet is not starting properly, which
doesn't help in fixing these problems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setroubleshoot-server-1.10.7-1.fc8

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sealert should start at user login
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

sealert does not start

2007-11-26 11:56:11,863 [program.ERROR] exception ImportError: No module named

Comment 1 John Dennis 2007-11-26 18:15:53 UTC
I suspect you're missing at least one if not two packages, please make sure
setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins are installed.

The missing file is in setroubleshoot rpm which contains the GUI components.

If install/upgrade the setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins rpms does the
problem go away?

Comment 2 Adam Huffman 2007-11-26 21:08:52 UTC
The plugins package was installed, but not setroubleshoot itself.  I've just
installed that and it seems to have fixed the problem, so sorry for the
misleading report.

However, doesn't this mean that some dependency is missing somewhere?

> However, doesn't this mean that some dependency is missing somewhere?

It probably means sealert shouldn't be in the setroubleshoot-server package as
it is currently. The reason it's there is because sealert can be run as a
command-line tool without a GUI. Having a single program (sealert) function in
both GUI and non-GUI modes is probably the root cause and perhaps we should fix
this. The setroubleshoot-server package was split off of setroubleshoot for
folks who did not want to pull in GUI dependencies on server or headless
machines which otherwise would have no GUI packages installed.
