Description Juergen Harms 2014-11-17 18:00:22 CET

Description of problem:

Drakconf (msecgui) fails to modify the "recipient of security email alerts" settings.

Scenario 1 (launch from the drakconf gui)
------------

Drakconf-> Security -> Configure system security ...

That launches the "MSEC: System Security and Audit" - which has an entry box for modifying the destination address for email alerts.

After modifying the email address, the programme does not respond any more.

File-> Save configuration
and
File->Quit
does not have any consequence, nor does the window kill button. The only way to terminate is a kill pid.

(Note: if I do not modify the email address for the alerts, I can exit without problems).

Some details
- after using xkill, I always find a an msecgui.py when I do ps -A
- if I run drakconf or msecgui from a root konsole, I get a respectable christmas tree of error messages - see annex

Scenario 2 (launch from a root-konsole command line, command = msecgui)
-----------

"File -> Save configuration" does nothing, but "File Quit" allows to normally exit.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch msecgui from a root console (or use the drakconf gui)
2. Modify the "Send security alerts by email to:" entry box
3. Try to exit with "File->Save configuration"

I am trying to modify the notification email address from
harms@unige.ch
to
harms@localhost
to correct a fault that I probably committed during system generation

Reproducible:

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2014-11-20 17:58:09 CET

Can you try using
   Gtk.Expander(label=_("Details"))
instead of:
   Gtk.Expander(_("Details"))

Comment 3 Big YellowHats 2015-01-24 19:29:15 CET

In  /usr/share/msec/msecgui.py  I replaced ALL instances of:

   Gtk.Expander(_  
with:
   Gtk.Expander(label=_

and functioning _seemed_ to return to normal.

(Lines 397, 403, and 417)

TV: I have the same behavior in a cauldron installed with RC public release iso downloaded by torrent from (ufpr.br), and updated with the core release from the same mirror, but if return the send security alerts by email to the original user (root), msec closes as expected, please see the next attached file that is the full log when I run drakconf and go to msec section from console (edited to explain what buttons I press in every section of attachment)

Comment 3 seems to say that this fix would be sufficient. Should we go on and add this to msecgui?

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2015-04-30 10:08:12 CEST

Yes, go on.
