Description of problem: system-config-services starts, but the GUI elements remain grey indefinitely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-services-0.99.24-1.fc10.noarch pure-ftpd-1.0.21-16.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install pure-ftpd 2. run system-config-services Actual results: system-config-services starts but remains grey forever. Expected results: The GUI should start working after a few seconds. Additional info: pure-ftpd is special in that it install both a SysV service and a xinetd service: /etc/init.d/xinetd /etc/xinetd.d/pure-ftpd Let's look at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scservices/core/services.py, line 412, function _async_load. It assumes that 'chkconfig --list pure-ftpd' will output a string corresponding to the status of the pure-ftpd service in xinetd.d, but instead it gets the SysV service line: pure-ftpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off This does not match the regular expression it expects and the services-mechanism gets stuck somehow. There are two issues: 1. s-c-s should fail more gracefully, just skip the service it can't parse. 2. See also a related chkconfig bug 467863. Unless that one is solved, s-c-s should have a workaround (perhaps parse xinetd configuration files by itself?).
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I have the same problem with this output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scservices/core/asynccmd.py", line 96, in on_fd self._finish () File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scservices/core/asynccmd.py", line 108, in _finish self.ready_cb (self, *self.ready_args, **self.ready_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scservices/core/asynccmd.py", line 153, in _ready_cb ready_cb (cmd, *p, **k) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scservices/core/services.py", line 101, in _async_load_ready self._async_load_process (cmd) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scservices/core/services.py", line 436, in _async_load_process raise output pure-ftpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

Bug #467867 which covers the chkconfig side of this is closed, i.e. with chkconfig >= 1.3.40, you can request information about a specific service type which would let system-config-services query about both sysv and xinetd types of the pure-ftpd service explicitly. I intend to fix this in two steps: 1. Let s-c-services cope better with unexpected output from chkconfig (or other tools it uses). Don't simply raise an expection (which doesn't get caught and in consequence frustrates users), but e.g. flag the service configuration as "unknown". 2. If chkconfig >= 1.3.40 is available, use the "--type <sysv|xinetd>" parameter to explicitly request information about the specific type of a service.

Actually, I meant bug #467863. With the above updates and chkconfig >= 1.3.40, system-config-services should show you two instances of pure-ftpd, one for the SysV and one for the Xinetd service. Take care that you just enable one of them at a time ;-).
