From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Pushing the properties button has no effect. Consequently, it is impossible to edit the user properties. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.2-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch 'redhat-config-users' 2. Push the 'Properties' button Actual Results: None Expected Results: Pop up properties window of selected user Additional info: None
Have you selected a row (either a user or a group) that you wish to edit the properties of?
The error occurs when one tries to edit the properties of some user (seems to work well for groups). The .xsession-errors file yields some output related to this erroneaous behaviour: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line 28, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 444, in on_properties_activate self.user_properties() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 451, in user_properties self.userProperties.showUserProperties(userEnt, row) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userProperties.py", line 188, in showUserProperties if self.parent.ADMIN.userIsLocked(self.userEnt) == 1: SystemError: bad format char passed to Py_BuildValue
I can't reproduce this. Can you try the redhat-config-users-0.9.2-4 that is in Rawhide now and see if this still happens?
I had obtained this error message after upgrading from the previous version installed with Red Hat Linux 7.1.93 Beta (Roswell I). After a fresh install of Red Hat Linux 7.1.94 Beta (Roswell II), the included version (which is actually the rawhide version for which the bug was initially reported) works properly with respect to the reported behaviour. It seems like if the dependencies where not set up correctly.
Ok. Glad to see that things are working now. Thanks for your report.
