Hello Everyone,

The last major update (22 October) left my system much more stable; no firefox freezes and generally much better overall. It looks like the icon theme from previous releases will be the default in F10. Pity. I liked the icons before this update to this "old hat" icon theme.

In any case, even though my system is more stable, it left the system-config-network in an unusable state. I cannot run it from the GUI or from the command line. I get this:

An exception has occured. This is most likely a bug.

and in the dialogue box is this:

Component: system-config-network
Version: 1.5.10
Summary: TB24531662 NCBackendHal.py:103:getDevices:TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

I have thought that just re-installing system-config-network might fix it, but I notice that the version for F9 is the only one listed. Though, they do list the same version number, just FC9 at the end.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, has re-installing the system-config-network package fixed it?

I use wireless with this laptop and it continue to work just fine, but I have no network configuration tools.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Bob

There doesn't seem to be a way to install that patch from there. There is usually a download link somewhere, but I did not see one.

Wireless still works for me, which is the main way I get on the net and use my home network, so this is not a critical bug for me. Hopefully, it will be fixed by the final release.
