Description Michael Catanzaro 2013-08-07 14:41:37 UTC
Description of problem: This may or may not have been addressed by the fix to Bug #993591, but it's a separate issue: system-config-abrt ("Problem Reporting Configuration") does not seem to work at all. When you flip any toggle, the toggle will be reset to its original position the next time you open the tool.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt 2.1.6-2.fc19


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch system-config-abrt and change any of the four toggle settings.
2. Close and reopen.

Actual results: The setting has reset to its original value.


Expected results: The setting retains its set value.

Thank you for the bug report. When I flip any toggle, click Apply button, close, reopen, the setting retains its set value. If this doesn't work for you, please check access rights to you configuration files stored in ~/.config/abrt/settings/

From ~/.config/abrt/settings:

[mcatanzaro@victory-road settings]$ ls -alZ
drwx------. mcatanzaro mcatanzaro unconfined_u:object_r:config_home_t:s0 .
drwxrwxr-x. mcatanzaro mcatanzaro unconfined_u:object_r:config_home_t:s0 ..
-rw-rw-r--. mcatanzaro mcatanzaro unconfined_u:object_r:config_home_t:s0 abrt-applet.conf
-rw-rw-r--. mcatanzaro mcatanzaro unconfined_u:object_r:config_home_t:s0 report-gtk.conf

Which all looks fine to me.

When I run system-config-abrt from a terminal with the environment variable G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all, there are unfortunately no warnings.

Jakub figured out the problem: I couldn't see the "Apply" button on the bottom of the screen due to Bug #993592
