User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121622 Fedora/3.0.5-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.5 localhost.localdomain is set in /etc/sysconfig/network but at logon sctreen and when open a terminalthe system is "unknownxyxyxyxyxyxy", where xyxyxyxyxyxy is the MAC of my ethernet card at eth0. When I try to edit eth0 by using system-config-network, I receive unhandled exception error and advice to file a bug report. See below: Component: system-config-network Version: 1.5.93 Summary: TBf8f4a16f NCDevice.py:177:getDialog:TypeError: exceptions must be classes, instances, or strings (deprecated), not NotImplementedType Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 814, in on_editButton_clicked self.editButtonFunc[self.active_page](button) File "/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 922, in on_deviceEditButton_clicked button = self.editDevice(device) File "/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 950, in editDevice dialog = device.getDialog() File "/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/NCDevice.py", line 177, in getDialog raise NotImplemented TypeError: exceptions must be classes, instances, or strings (deprecated), not NotImplementedType Local variables in innermost frame: self: Device.AllowUser=False Device.AutoDNS=True Device.BootProto=dhcp Device.Device=eth0 Device.DeviceId=eth0 Device.HardwareAddress=00:05:1c:21:1c:37 Device.IPv6Init=False Device.NMControlled=False Device.OnBoot=True Device.Type=ethernet I am not using Network Manager. If I use it, then it allows renaming to localhost.localdomain but it causes other weirdness such as Firefox and Evolution starting off-line. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start system 2. 3. Happens despite setting localhost.localdomain in /etc/sysconfig/network and in /etc/hosts
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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.
