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

(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: Calculating dependencies... done!

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.

Please help. > 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 attachment 167552 [details, diff] 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 attachment 168008 [details, diff] 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.

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).

If as the root user I type: users-admin, I get the response ** (users-admin:3078): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '3078' ============== emerge --info ================== Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r5-x86_64-AMD_Opteron-tm-_Processor_242-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p24 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.8 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2, 2.6.2-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.0 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.29 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=opteron -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=opteron -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sfperms strict unmerge-orphans" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo http://gentoo.binarycompass.org" LANG="en_us" LC_ALL="C" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acl administrator aiglx alsa amd64 apache2 auctex audiofile bash-completion bcmath berkdb blas bonobo bzip2 cairo calendar cdrom clamav clamd cli clisp colordiff consolekit cracklib crypt ctype cups dbus debugger deprecated dga discouraged divx-linux dri dvd dvdr dvdread emacs emul-linux86 esd fam fastcgi fbcon ffmpeg flac fortran ftp gd gdbm glut gmail gnome gnome-keyring gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv imagemagick ipv6 isdnlog java javascript jpeg kerberos kpathsea latex latin1 leim lesstif libclamav libnotify libwww logrotate mad maildir mbox mcal midi mime mmx mmxext mng mouse mozcalendar mozilla mpeg2 mpi mudflap multilib mysql mysqli nat ncurses nls nocd nosendmail nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia objc offensive ogg opengl openmp osc oscar pam pcre pdf perl png policykit pop pop3d portaudio posix ppds pppd preview-latex python query-browser readline reflection regex replytolist rtc samba sasl session sharedmem sockets sound source sox speex spl sse sse2 ssl svg symlink sysfs tcltk tcpd tetex thunderbird truetype unicode usb vhosts vorbis wxwindows xcomposite xine xmail xorg xulrunner xvid" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia vesa fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
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.

It says you have to be in stb-admin group. > users-admin: Created a user and assigned some privileges to it with no > problems. The user was able to log in to Gnome.

Enabling it after manually > disabling it worked: sshd was started and added to the default runlevel. 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.

Just follow instructions in s-t-b elog output and it should just work with USE="-policykit". I've had reports the daemon/group stuff is unnecessary with policykit.
I've just unmasked gnome-system-tools/system-tools-backends/liboobs triplet, with 2.26 and 2.28 I had almost everything working as well as it did in 2.14. Still those tools are not perfectly fit for everything gentoo let's you do, so if you find a problem, open a new bug so we can check if this is something we want to support or not. If not, we most likely need to document it somewhere visible (ie. on the project page). Also if anyone here still has perl patches hidden behind their back, please get them out, upstream has been quite nice to us and integrated almost everything we needed up to now. Enjoy.
