Description of problem: After thorough testing I have found that the app pure-ftpd breaks system-config-services. When pure-ftpd is installed, system-config-services hangs while loading services, and remains grey and indicates that the program is busy ( via mouse pointer icon ). The app never recovers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : pure-ftpd Arch : i386 Version : 1.0.21 Release : 16.fc10 Name : system-config-services Arch : noarch Version : 0.99.28 Release : 3.fc10 How reproducible: I duplicated this on 2 computers, a HP Pavilion dv4000 and a Dell Optiplex 745. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 10 with pure-ftpd 2. Attempt to run system-config-services (should hang) 3. Remove pure-ftpd 4. Attempt to run system-config-services (should run ) The actual steps to locate the problem app were much more complicated and involved installing a generic installation of Fedora 10 without optional pakages. Then, installing apps a few at a time, restarting, and testing system-config-services. This was repeated until system-config-services broke. Then, once broken, take the list of apps that was installed that broke system-config-services and remove each app one at a time, and test system-config-services until functioning again. Once the culprit app was found, I installed all other apps, restarted, and tested syster-config-services again.. and it worked without error. I again installed pure-ftpd, restarted, and system-config-services was broken again. I removed pure-ftpd again, and system-config-services worked again. Actual results: pure-ftpd breaks system-config-services on every test on multiple systems Expected results: pure-ftpd breaks system-config-services Additional info:
You can workaround this bug by launching system-config-services using sudo, then wait for the python debug message to appear, and press ctrl+c. The program will then work normally it seems.
