Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Milos Malik 2010-09-22 08:23:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
Not sure if the problem is in sealert or in gtk+glade.
Does not matter if you run it as root or as common user, segfault is a sure thing in both cases.
Does not matter if you run it locally or via SSH session.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setroubleshoot-server-2.2.94-1.el6.i686
setroubleshoot-2.2.94-1.el6.i686
setroubleshoot-plugins-2.1.60-1.el6.noarch
setroubleshoot-doc-2.2.94-1.el6.i686

How reproducible:
always

Comment 1 Milos Malik 2010-09-22 08:33:11 UTC 
It did work on RHEL-5.5 where is 2.0.5-5.el5 version.
Comment 3 Milos Malik 2010-09-22 08:47:34 UTC 
It seems that glib is the culprit.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2011-03-22 22:16:56 UTC 
The error messages actually point at invalid UTF-8 in the translated string.
Does this reproduce with any other locale ?
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2011-03-22 22:30:40 UTC 
Could be this string from ja.po, which looks suspicious. Note the \t in the attribute list which definitively looks like invalid markup to me.

msgid ""
"<span size='large' weight='bold' \tface='verdana'>No alerts to view.</span>"
msgstr ""
"<span size='large' weight='bold' \tface='verdana'>表示する通知はありません。"
"</span>"

I notice the same dubious \t in other .po files. It is the result of a stray tab in gui/browser.glade
Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2011-03-23 18:32:09 UTC 
We are planning on back porting the new version of setroubleshoot from Fedora into RHEL6,  I tried this command on an F15 command, and it seemed to work.
Comment 10 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-23 18:51:22 UTC 
Fixed in setroubleshoot-3.0.31-1.el6
Comment 12 Eduard Benes 2011-06-27 09:05:14 UTC 
Clearing qa_ack, setroubleshoot has been removed from 6.2 approved list.
Comment 18 Miroslav Grepl 2011-11-01 18:24:09 UTC 
Looks like a test issue. I don't see it.
