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 caochuangxiang 2013-04-17 09:49:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
Logic volume management gui can not be opened in some of the operation systems .

Run "# system-config-lvm" and get this error:

 The program 'system-config-lvm' received an X Window System error.
 This probably reflects a bug in the program.
 The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 14835 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

and sometimes also with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-lvm", line 170, in ?
    runFullGUI()
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-lvm", line 155, in runFullGUI
    blvm = baselvm(glade_xml, app)
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-lvm", line 105, in __init__
    self.volume_tab_view = Volume_Tab_View(glade_xml, self.lvmm, self.main_win)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/Volume_Tab_View.py", line 136, in __init__
    self.prepare_tree()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/Volume_Tab_View.py", line 226, in prepare_tree
    self.mirror_sync_progress.initiate()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/Volume_Tab_View.py", line 593, in initiate
    if self.crank():
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/Volume_Tab_View.py", line 602, in crank
    self.forked_command.fork()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/execute.py", line 134, in fork
    os.write(self.fd_write_out, out)
OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

it seems that when call a system-config-lvm command in the operation system , a value which is pixels/width is a little big , and the gtk can not draw the Cylinder of all the LVs . Then the issue occurs .

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-lvm-1.1.5-13

Comment 3 Ed Ackerman 2013-10-27 13:52:03 UTC 
This patch also works on the following - 
  system-config-lvm-1.1.12-15.el6.noarch

Manually added the two patch lines.
Comment 4 caochuangxiang 2013-10-30 02:32:58 UTC 
I didn't see these two lines in system-config-lvm-1.1.12-15.el6.src.rpm, I am curious that did you add them in?

Sorry I was imprecise, I added them to the .py on my system.
