Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 55427
serviceconf does not run
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:24:08 EDT
Description of Problem: When I try to run "redhat-config-services" nothing happens, if I try to run it with "serviceconf" I get some errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run redhat-config-services 2. run serviceconf Actual Results: With 1. nothing happens. With 2. I get the following errors: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 438, in ? main() File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 429, in main Gui() File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 138, in __init__ self.populateList() File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 190, in populateList self.clstServices.append_row(servicename, int(self.dict_services[servicename][0][int(self.editing_runlevel)])) ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 4:off Expected Results: serviceconf should run. Additional Information:
We're seeing the exact same problem. Just type serviceconfig in a terminal window, and the python traceback is all we get. hs
I have found the same thing on two machines after upgradeing from 7.1 to 7.2. Also,I now cannot cut n paste from several gui programs to a terminal. Several programs that don't work are Opera, xpdf, and Abiword. It works with Mozilla, gdic, and gnome calander. I have the same behavior on another upgraded machine. I can cut n paste from Opera to gvim and then into a terminal. I have tried reinstalling Opera and using the latest version to no avail. I also tried it as a new user with the default account settings and got the same results. On a machine with a fresh install it works fine. I was thinking these problems maybe related.
One more machine with the exact same problem. I was able to run serviceconf once, but never again. All that could have come between was setting up some printers with printconf-gui, but I'm not even sure of that.
I get the same result with a slightly different traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 438, in ? main() File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 429, in main Gui() File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 139, in __init__ self.on_clstServices_select_row(None, 0, 0, None) File "/usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py", line 213, in on_clstServices_select_row self.checking_service = self.clstServices.get_text(i,1) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 1218, in get_text return _gtk.gtk_clist_get_text(self._o, r, c) ValueError: can't get text value
I had the same problem (as the first bug). serviceconf-0.6.6-1, RH7.2. I had also recently installed proftpd, and i just noticed serviceconf didn't work anymore. There are two entries created for proftpd when its installed, in /etc/rc.d/init.d and /etc/xinetd.d Fixed by moving the xinetd proftpd entry out of its directory (i'm using the init.d one). You may want to check if you have a service with the same name in both directories.
I did have "identd" on both /etc/init.d and /etc/xinetd.d, I renamed the xinetd one to "auth" and serviceconf now seems to work.
That did it for me! Lonewolf you ROCK!!!!
I checked /etc/init.d and /etc/xinetd.d for duplicate scripts, as lonewolf@ihug.co.nz reported, and found no duplicates. I still have the problem.
I too have the same problem. serviceconf worked fine for quite a while. I suspect it was an up2date session that made it quit working. I get the exact same result as steve@supersource.com when I run /usr/bin/serviceconf. I checked for the duplicate files as suggested by lonewolf@ihug.co.nz, but didn't have them. Cheers, Gary
I have the same problem and traceback listed by steve@supersource.com and gary.hodges@noaa.gov. I suspect the problem started when I upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2, but I am not positive. The gui will flash on the screen for a momement then disappear. Brad Smith
I believe this is fixed in the rawhide 0.6.7 version (note: you may need to rebuild the source RPM to get a version that runs on 7.2)
