Description of problem:If I as an ordinary user do system->administration->firewall it doesn't ask me for authentication and just goes away after I click away the first screen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Should ask for authentication and then let me configure the firewall Additional info: I have SELinux disabled
Is there a SELinux error message also?
This is related to bug 649553 At the time I had selinux disabled. I have blown away that installation so if there were other error messages logged I no longer have them. Now I have selinux enabled, and when I try to run system->administration-> firewall I get an error org.fedoraproject.slip.dbus.service.PolKit.NotAuthroizedException.org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth: However when I run it from a different user account I made for testing it works as it should, asks for the super user password. So as with bug 649553 there is something in my own user environment that is causing the misbehavior. I have no idea what it is.
I see this when I run system-config-firewall when logged in from a remote machine with as a normal user using "ssh -X". On the local machine, or when logged in remotely as root, I don't see this behavior. When logged in as a normal user on the local machine, the GUI opens with a splash screen, and when the splash screen is dismissed, the root prompt popup appears. When logged in remotely, the GUI opens with the splash screen. When the splash screen is dismissed, the error pops up.
OK. In my case, when I'm logged in as myself locally on the X window system, when I do System->Administration->Firewall I first get the Firewall Configuration startup box on top of the firewall configuration window. When I dismiss that I get org.fedoraproject.slip.dbus.service.PolKit.NotAuthorizedException.org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth: but if I am logged in as a different user than my usual login name it seems to work as it should. So there seems to be some obscure thing in my personal environment that upsets the authentication in this and in some other applications.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
