Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:58:11 EST
Description of Problem: up2date-config is not useable. Running the GUI application from the command line yields errors and you are not able to enter any information about your proxy as the GUI is never fully displayed and crashes out. Although it does create the necessary config files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-2.9.30-7.x.9 up2date-gnome-2.9.30-7.x.9 How Reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. run up2date-config 2. 3. Actual Results: Can't enter any configuration through the GUI Expected Results: Should be able to enter configuration through the GUI Additional Information: The errors received were: [root@deepthought rhn]# up2date-config (up2date-config:3750): libglade-WARNING **: Unknown CList child property: visible (up2date-config:3750): libglade-WARNING **: Unknown CList child property: visible ** (up2date-config:3750): WARNING **: could not find handler `onKeepPackagesButtonToggled' ** (up2date-config:3750): WARNING **: could not find handler `onRetrieveSourceButtonToggled' ** (up2date-config:3750): WARNING **: could not find handler `onNoReplaceConfigButtonToggled' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date-config", line 801, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/up2date-config", line 459, in main configdlg.main() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/configdlg.py", line 359, in main gui = Gui() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/configdlg.py", line 90, in __init__ self.setInitialValues() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/configdlg.py", line 107, in setInitialValues self.serverUrls = getServerUrls() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/configdlg.py", line 38, in getServerUrls serverUrls = rpcServer.doCall(s.servers.get) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 118, in doCall raise up2dateErrors.CommunicationError(e.args[1]) up2date_client.up2dateErrors.CommunicationError: Error communicating with server. The message was: Name or service not known ** (up2date-config:3750): WARNING **: CORBA_ORB_destroy: ORB still has 2 refs.
using 'up2date-config --nox' seems to work correctly. Even after using the above command to set the proxy, running 'up2date-config' still gives the same error messages.
Ah! I'd forgot to set the "use proxy" flag. Once that's done you can use the gui up2date-config once again... This is bad for a new user on a new box though.
I noticed the same thing. up2date should not try to connect to the internet before you have a chance to enter a proxy.
Hmm, indeed. Passable work around in cvs (catch the communications error). Probabaly need to add a "refresh server list" button to refetch the list once the proxy info is know. Not great ui, but alas... Bit of a catch-22 of course, need to setup up networking before I can ask a server what other servers you might want to use for your networking. I love http proxies ;-> first pass fix in cvs, should show up in 2.9.31
Fix confirmed with up2date-2.9.46-1.
