system-config-firewall fails to save settings
Last modified: 2009-07-15 04:22:08 EDT
Description of problem: After starting system-config-firewall I get an error message that the files /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables are missing or unusable and that I have to apply my settings to fix it. But when I try to apply the changes, I get an error (see below). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.10 How reproducible: always (on my system ...) Steps to Reproduce: 1. start system-settings-firewall 2. try to apply the settings Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/lokkit", line 212, in <module> sysctl.write() File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_sysctl.py", line 97, in write % (key, self.p_config[key])) KeyError: 'kernel.core_uses_pid' Expected results: configuration saved without any error Additional info:
system-config-firewall and system-config-firewall-tui also fail to save settings for me. Though I have a different problem: lokkit hangs, never returning one way or the other or crashing at all. This is probably related in some way to bug 445622. A strace attached to the running process generates: Process 17958 attached - interrupt to quit select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {6, 67000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}^C <unfinished ...> Process 17958 detached
Do you have spacial system settings? Please have a look at the process list: Is there a running modprobe?
I have no modprobe command running at the time this happens.
I also do not have modprobe running when the problem happens
system-config-firewall-1.2.16-3.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/system-config-firewall-1.2.16-3.fc9
system-config-firewall-1.2.16-3.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing-newkey update system-config-firewall'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2009-5926
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
