Description Ray Holme 2013-03-18 15:53:07 UTC
Created attachment 712071 [details]
gzip'd tar of the named abrt files

Description of problem: Troubleshooter will not come up (posts notification) and system log displayer will not come up - working before this update today (3/18/13) - new kernel 3.8.3-201.fc18.x86_64.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): not sure

How reproducible: Consistent everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. attempt to bring up either system-tools: SELinux Troubleshooter or System Log
  
Actual results:
troubleshooter posts an error and notifies me - that's ALL

System-log asks for my password (me==admin) - accepts it, then nothing happens

Expected results:
both tools were working before this mornings "yum update" and reboot

Additional info: Not sure if this is the right stuff, but I see this in /var/log/messages

Comment 1 Ray Holme 2013-03-21 13:56:02 UTC
updated using yum today - troubleshooter (more important) WORKS now, system-log viewer still dead (work around is to view /var/log/messages so not as bad)

Comment 2 Ray Holme 2013-03-28 12:50:38 UTC
new yum update today 3/28/13 - problem persists (trouble shooter seems OK, but cannot bring up System Tools -> System Log
  - asks for my password and then nothing more happens

workaround - look at /var/log/messages

Comment 3 Ray Holme 2013-03-31 12:45:56 UTC
3/31/13 yum update run - reboot and problem persists

Comment 4 Ray Holme 2013-04-05 14:10:22 UTC
4/5 -3.8.5-201.fc18.x86_64 update - no change

Comment 5 Ray Holme 2013-06-10 12:44:16 UTC
Just checked again 6/10/2013 after another yum update: troubleshooter ok, system log still dead

will continue to check after yum updates (weekly minimum)

Comment 6 Ray Holme 2013-07-01 14:57:17 UTC
7/1/2013 - system log viewer still does not come up (asks password and stops)

This leaves vim as the only tool.

I tried tail -s /var/log/messages while I did this:

Jul  1 10:54:36 rainbow dbus-daemon[606]: ** Message: entering main loop
Jul  1 10:55:06 rainbow dbus-daemon[606]: ** Message: No devices in use, exit

This does not help me and looks irrelevant, but maybe it has meaning to you.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2013-09-16 13:14:12 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle.
Changing version to '20'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora20

Comment 8 Ray Holme 2014-02-12 13:28:07 UTC
Now running Fedora 20 - 64 and 32 bit versions
  trouble shooter works fine

  system log views NOT so good
    window comes up to get authorization
    End of Story

I had used this tool before, now just using vim - oh wel

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 08:56:12 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 11:48:56 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
