Hi, just before today's RC, we've hit a 554946 (WebYaST reports permission errors). Backend reported bad rights everywhere and webclient ended in endless loop. 2 things caused this:

1) change of policyKit rights setup scripts which is called in all plugin %post.

Until now /etc/yastws/tools/policyKit-rights.rb was used, but then it was changed to /usr/sbin/grantwebyastrights (IMHO good change from long time perspective). It change happened 2 days ago. So yast2-webservice was installed and the right script was run. But then the plugin scripts were installed without adding their rights in .policy files.

My fault, sorry. Thanks to your fix. I take this bug as I think that skip settings permissions if something is wrong is bad behavior and change it to final release ( I think that hudson create testing installation so it should catch similar problems). So, don't silent fail if something goes wrong.

2) fix of bnc#554452 (Basic setup workflow starts with an error message).

Originally (some weeks ago), when there was an exception in some basesystem module, the webclient stayed in endless loop of redirections. To brake the loop an to see the message, I've created the additional page. Now, when solving bug 554452, I hoped that we are long past problems with read permissions. But it looks like we will have to find another way of breaking the endless loop in basesystem (filed as bnc#554989).

I must think about solution, but maybe if we redirect to controlpanel and basesystem already start, then something is wrong and show your additional page, what do you think?

Cheers, Martin

Forget this proposal. Martin has already solved in a nicer way :-) Thanks Martin ! Stefan Schubert schrieb:

A simple workaround would be to start

/usr/sbin/grantwebyastrights in Martin's patch script of the appliance. As far this script is called *after* the package installation.
