Full Text Bug Listing

This is a tracker bug. If you have any issues related to g-s-t, please open a
new bug.

Adding deps on the other bugs, I have no clue if they are still valid with
current versions of g-s-t. Needs to be checked.

/me thinks we should have a GentooLove bugzilla keyword.

As I told you on irc, I think this bug is useless.

2 deps concerns old 2.14 release, noone wants to touch it afaict so it will be
wontfix as soon as >=2.20 are fixed and unmasked. (and one bug about modem
lights is missing btw ;))

the thing is that >=2.20 won't be unmasked until basic things work (for example
users-admin) and that there is no more upstream maintainer (or at least he
announced he would continue after 2.22 cycle).

ok guys, here is the situation. We need someone really motivated with perl foo
and possibly a bit of C. Upstream is open to contribution and will gladly
accept it. We also need someone that knows gentoo system well enough to help
make things right for both upstream and the contributor (if they are separated
persons).

Gnome system tools were masked today because they are broken with gnome 2.22
and basically nobody wants to touch it.

Status on 2.22 s-t-b/g-s-t/liboobs:
 * users-admin allows creating users but doesn't save them. Try to debug this
with d-feet spawned a strange error like "No .service registred for :1:79" or
something like that.
 * network-admin doesn't seem to detect properly DHCP/Static IP but reports
appropriate status when using NM.
 * services-admin doesn't detect running services and don't stop them when
unchecking a box.
 * shares-admin seems to be working ok.
 * time-admin looks ok as well.

Now where to start ? I think a good start would be to try and write a CLI tool
that manipulates users like usermod but through liboobs or something that could
be used as a testsuite for s-t-b. Please help.

I cannot help for fixing this because I don't have enough knowledge but, Did
you try to ask in forums for help also? Maybe some people could help as forums
are read by a lot of people

Hello,
after your entry in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, I'm not able to make
any updates. I update my system every day, because if I do so I have only small
updates.

Ok, however, I understand the problem but I can't help because I'm not enough
experience with Gentoo (I use it since approximately Nov 2007 and I like it).

Following is your entry:

# Gilles Dartiguelongue <eva@gentoo.org> (12 Apr 2008)
# Masking gnome-system-tools because it is broken,
# to help fix it, see bug #214265
=app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.14*
=app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.4*

could it be that you mean ">=". Because I have Gnome 2.20.3 and your entry
leads to following situation: I have a masked package installed and can't do
any further updates. Before your entry my system works fine (I have a stable
system, no package.keywords or packagage.masks entries). And how you mentioned
the problem is only with Gnome 2.22, therefore, so far I that understand,
should the entries be:

>=app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.14*
>=app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.4*

I'm right or I'm something missing?

Thanks in advance.

(In reply to comment #5)
Ooops, I suggested:

> 
> >=app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.14*
> >=app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.4*
> 

but that's of course wrong, but the following is what I wanted suggest:

 >app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.14*
 >app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.4*

Sorry and thanks in advance

That's full error message that I get:

Perhaps that helps.

(In reply to comment #7)
To do the update, I did the following:

1) I comment the entries in /usr/portage/profiles/package.masks
2) I unmerged sys-apps/mktemp
3) I did the update with the command mentioned in comment #7
4) I want remerge sys-apps/mktemp but that failed with the following error:

# emerge -av sys-apps/mktemp

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

5) I'm at the end of my wisdom. I think is sys-apps/mktemp is a important
package, but how can I work around the above error message?

Thanks in advance.

Please asks in forums.gentoo.org for help, if there is a bug please open a NEW
one, this bug is only a tracker 

Thanks :-)

(In reply to comment #9)
No problem. I thought that the entries in /usr/portage/profiles/package.masks
are problematic because they lead to a unstable system, although it was, before
the entries, stable. I didn't wanted update to Gnome 2.22.

Sorry for the inconvenience which my comments caused.

You just have to unmerge gnome-system-tools, nothing should pull it in anymore,
if it is not the cause open another bug please. Thanks.

(In reply to comment #11)
Thanks for your answer. But your suggestion is out of question, because I use
it with Gnome 2.20.3, the stable version.
I opened a new bug report ( bug #217516 ).

Thanks.

Are you looking for these tools to be written in perl?  Also, should these
tools be run using gentoo commands to get the information?  (ex
/etc/init.d/samba status to find out if it's running or not.)  I'm going to
look into liboobs to see if it is something I can handle.

Okay, I see where this is going.  Liboobs is an abstraction layer.  The job
doesn't look like it should be that bad.  Adding users is broken, but I thought
the adduser command was common between linux distributions?

For those with interest, the liboobs apis are at 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/liboobs/stable/

I'm going to tinker a bit more.

Is Zachary or anyone else still working on this? I am able to use the command
line instead but a GUI is just nice sometimes. I'd fix it, but my programming
skills are limited to a little bit of shell scripting.

gnome-system-tools-2.22.1 emerges and works on 2 amd64 and one x86 systems
here, I recommend taking off the package.mask for x86 and amd64.

On one amd64:
In package.keywords:
app-admin/gnome-system-tools ~amd64
dev-libs/liboobs ~amd64
app-admin/system-tools-backends ~amd64
In package.unmask:
=app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.22.1
=dev-libs/liboobs-2.22.0
=app-admin/system-tools-backends-2.6.0

On the other amd64:
In package.keywords:
app-admin/gnome-system-tools ~amd64
dev-libs/liboobs ~amd64
app-admin/system-tools-backends ~amd64
In package.unmask:
=app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.22.1
=dev-libs/liboobs-2.22.0
=app-admin/system-tools-backends-2.6.0

On the x86:
In package.keywords:
app-admin/gnome-system-tools ~x86
dev-libs/liboobs ~x86
app-admin/system-tools-backends ~x86
dev-perl/Net-DBus ~x86
In package.unmask:
=app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.22.1
=app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.22.0
=dev-libs/liboobs-2.21.3
=dev-libs/liboobs-2.22.0
=app-admin/system-tools-backends-2.5.4
=app-admin/system-tools-backends-2.6.0

Variations probably due to variations in the state of the perl tool chain. The
first (as listed above) system emerge only called for the base three files, the
second  (as listed above) system emerge called for 26 files, the third (as
listed above) system emerge called for 28 files, most of the extras perl
related.

It was necessary to reboot to avoid a popup dialog that prevented using the
tools:
" The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed to access the system configuration"

Please define "work" in your sentence. Were you able to add new users,
configure your network card, change the system time, manage system daemons?

Thanks

Created an attachment (id=167552) [details]
Fix adding users in users-admin

System-tools-backends use adduser as default for adding user, but on Gentoo
adduser is a symbolic link to useradd. But options are not the same for this
two tools ! It's because adding users fails in users-admin without this patch.
Sorry for my bad english,I'm french !

++'ll

I'll try that asap and push it to the masked version in tree if it works as
expected. Feel free to review the other points of comment #3 and to report
these patches upstream (if you want to make bugzilla points).

Created an attachment (id=168008) [details]
fix services-admin doesn't detect running services

patch included in r1 with an automagic policykit fix as a bonus. Thanks for
your work so far.

2.22.1-r1 does not compile for me. I compiled with USE=-policykit and configure
failed with the following output:

checking for intltool >= 0.35.0...  found
./configure: line 3675: test: : integer expression expected
configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.

I have intltool 0.37.1 installed
I removed eautoreconf in the ebuild and the compilation went fine.

*** Bug 243432 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

On an amd64 system, with

app-admin/gnome-system-tools
app-admin/system-tools-backends
dev-libs/liboobs

in package.unmask and latest versions of these emerged, the various things get
added to the system/administration menu, but trying to access them gives

The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed to access the system configuration

When trying to run users-admin (even as root), I get a bunch of

(users-admin:4417): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with
non-zero page size is deprecated

Thus at least for me, this does not look quite ready -- unless I'm missing
something.

(In reply to comment #24)
> Thus at least for me, this does not look quite ready -- unless I'm missing
> something.

you missed reading instructions from the ebuild.
Gtk-WARNINGs are not a problem in this context (for now).

along with gnome-system-tools 2.22.2 bump. I think most things are fixed now so
please do test everything.

I just tried to use gnome-system-tools-2.22.2 with system-tools-backends-2.6.1.
 If as the root user I type: users-admin, I get the response

I unmasked and emerged app-admin/gnome-system-tools-2.22.2,
app-admin/system-tools-backends-2.6.1 and dev-libs/liboobs-2.22.0 and did some
testing -- the Gnome menu items do not work for a regular user in wheel group,
but all the applications start when run as root.

users-admin: Created a user and assigned some privileges to it with no
problems. The user was able to log in to Gnome. Deleted the user with no
problems.

time-admin: Changed the time and date to a wrong value and back again -- the
changes were reflected in Gnome panel's date&time applet. Tried to configure
the time to be syncronized: "NTP support is not installed" (which is true).

network-admin: Didn't want to mess up my network configuration so didn't change
anything. Observed that under Connections tab, my two NIC's were unconfigured,
General tab was empty and the correct information was displayed under DNS and
Hosts tabs.

services-admin: Disabling sshd had no effect. Enabling it after manually
disabling it worked: sshd was started and added to the default runlevel.

You can let me know if it was helpful and how it would be more helpful without
too much extra work -- if there is documentation about this kind of stuff, I
was too lazy to search for it and you are welcome to point it out.

did you read elog messages ? It says you have to be in stb-admin group.

nice

would be good if you could test by installing ntpd for example, it should just
work iirc.

this should work to some extend but I think that given it's ineffectivness wrt
alternatives in gentoo, I'm just going to disable it.

indeed, maybe something changed in latest openrc which makes it impossible to
stop the services again.

Given the work that has been accomplished up to now, I think I'm going to
unmask this stuff soonish, so if anybody feels like fixing the remaining
issues, now is your time to get famous.
