Thank you for the report.

For the record, 'msecgui' on Mageia 8 does work, although with a raft of console warning messages which I refrain from posting.

Having to assign this globally, no individual looks after 'msec'.

I don't reproduce this bug in the actual cauldron.
Is this bug still valid with an updated machine?

just updated (from Princeton.edu mirror).
my system is x86_64.mga9 (all DE).

issue is still evident, both from plasma and xfce DE.

failure from konsole is as first post.

It could be that the program uses GTK4 instead of GTK 3. Release 2.11 should fix it.

info:

new cauldron ldxe install today.

then added task-xfce and check mscgui - ok

will investigate task-gnome to isolate package(s)

Hi Ben. What you can try is to modifiy
/usr/share/msec/msecgui.py
with the version from 
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/msec/tree/src/msec/msecgui.py
(needs root privileges)

as root saved as /usr/share/msec/msecgui-old.py
as root kwrite /usr/share/msec/msecgui.py
deleted contents of /usr/share/msec/msecgui.py
copied http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/msec/tree/src/msec/msecgui.py text into krite /usr/share/msec/msecgui.py and saved
exit kwrite .

invoked msecgui from root terminal -success.

will try the "new install" from 22/04- unavailable until 26/04, and report.

that makes 2 from 2 -ok, both 64bit

if  Yann Ciret (mageia@zamiz.fr) OP can also confirm, this can be closed

I think that this bug can also occurs in Mageia 8. An update should be ported to Mageia 8, thus.

I think that indicates the Dutch translation has utf-8 open/close quotes where
it should have ascii ' or ". That's not ok and needs to be fixed, assuming the
old version didn't have the same problem.

u2018 is ‘ and u2019 is ’. They should be replaced by the ascii ' (hex 27).

When run from the CLI, this system showed lots of verbiage, but launched and looked OK. No installation issues with the update. Launching again shows this in the terminal, different from the messages Herman saw:

This is a problem.
You should see that Firewall is seen as disabled. But this is false.

Release 2.12 is on the way.

This says that msec-gui 2.11 is not installed.

I didn't reboot before testing the update. Should I?

OK, I see now. I used the package names in Comment 16 in qarepo. That list did not include msec-gui, so it wasn't updated.

With msec-gui finally updated, terminal messages are fewer, but the firewall message is still there:

INFO: Starting gui..

/usr/share/msec/msecgui.py:494: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.TreeView.set_rules_hint is deprecated

The Dutch translation is the only one with the wrong quotes, typically caused
by using oowriter or similar as an editor ...
# grep '‘' /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/msec.mo
grep: /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/msec.mo: binary file matches
The comments in the .mo file show Marcel was the last translator for that
file. Adding Marcel to the cc list. Marcel, please see Comment 18 and 19.

I just checked, and the problem with the Dutch translation is not a regression,
so that will not hold the update, though it would be nice to get it fixed if
another build is needed for this update.

ERROR: Unable to parse firewall configuration: 'int' object is not subscriptable
is a regression, so this update cannot proceed till it's fixed.

Adding the feedback marker until then.

Keywords: (none) => feedback

Bug 30376 opened for the Dutch translations having utf-8 open/close quotes
instead of ascii quotes. It affects many other packages, not just msec.

New release :
msec-gui-2.12-1.mga8
msec-2.12-1.mga8

No installation issues with the new packages. Ran msecgui from the terminal, and the gui came up looking as I believe it should. Messages in the terminal are now as follows:

# msecgui

INFO: loading exceptions file /etc/security/msec/exceptions: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/security/msec/exceptions'

/usr/share/msec/msecgui.py:494: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.TreeView.set_rules_hint is deprecated
  treeview.set_rules_hint(True)


Nothing about the firewall this time. Unknown if the original problem is still fixed, as I never did replicate it.

Went thru the configuration ofthe firewall, was no active, set some rules and activate it. Remark that the status of the firewall remains "disabled" in the main window. Closing and opening msecgui againnow revealsthe correct enabled status.
I vaguely seem to remember such status issues before, and the issue with Dutch seems to be gone, so I will OK it, unless someone elsehas other issues.
