Description Lloyd Osten 2017-07-17 13:46:04 CEST
Just installed Mageia 6 x86-64. I'm trying out some stuff I haven't used before.
So I open Mageia Control Centre -> System and select "Snapshots" It starts to load (but doesn't) Closing the window brings up a small window with an error message that says "the program has exited abnormally."

I tried it more than once - even used Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to see if it was just a Plasma bug (it isn't) because I got the same result.

Same result every time.

Comment 1 aguador 2017-07-17 22:21:17 CEST
This would seem to be a duplicate. There are already at least 3 open bug reports that, as noted in one, may not be the same, but appear to overlap:

bug #17390  -  bug #19195  -  bug #21016

Thanks, Lloyd and Roy.

I think in this case (and maybe in bug 21016, too) the tool doesn't start at all.. 

Is that correct, Lloyd, do you not get to see a screen like this one http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/6/en/content/draksnapshot-config.html ?



Please start, as root, in a terminal/konsole

  journalctl -f > journal.txt

and let it run while you try to select "Snapshots" again and see it fail.

Please attach journal.txt to this bug report.

Yes, in both 21016 and here draksnapshot fails to start. See journal_rwr.txt and screenshot attached.

Thanks, unfortunately there's nothing more in the log than

jul 17 23:15:07 localhost.localdomain draksnapshot-config[8157]: ### Program is starting ###

I tried to run draksnapshot-config from cli, that gave more output. I hope there's something useful in it.

By the way, running draksnapshot-restore as root brings up the desired window.
Comment 9 Omnio Torr 2019-04-18 07:20:35 CEST
Any progress on this? It affects Mageia 7 beta 3 too.

Setting as dup of the other bug of this same issue, there is more recent info.
