[yast-devel] YaST dns-server module silently failing
Hi all, I have a machine on which the YaST dns-server module is silently failing (no command line output is produced). Fortunately, the server seems to be working, I just can't configure it. I don't want to edit the DNS entries by hand, if possible. Any assistance would be much appreciated. The output on /var/log/messages when restarting named is here [1].

Sorry to "bump" a message, but could some please get back to me? Is there a verbose/debug option when starting YaST so I might figure out what the problem is? Please tell me if this is the wrong list. Thanks very much, Nicholas — ntung at ntung — https://ntung.com On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 11:14 AM, Nicholas Tung <ntung@ntung.com> wrote:

I solved it, thanks to help from the IRC ("twkm" suggested using strace instead of gdb, and that worked great). I then ran $(strace /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base dns-server qt), which pointed me to the log file /var/log/YaST2/y2log . I saved the last few lines of this at [http://pastebin.com/f57015cb6]. The fix is to create /var/lib/YaST2/yast2-dns-server_reverse-zones with the content """$[ ] """ instead of having an empty file. hope this helps someone in the future, Nicholas — ntung at ntung — https://ntung.com On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Nicholas Tung <ntung@ntung.com> wrote:

I apologize for getting back to you so late (and obviously no-one else of developer team spotted your message and felt like replying). Could you please, file a bug against YaST, attaching the logs you posted above? I've no clue what might have happened to the above mentioned file needed by y2-dns-server, but it definitely shouldn't crash the whole thing. You can assign the bug directly to 'yast2-maintainers@suse.de' to avoid bugzilla screening delays. If you can do some Perl coding, you may check out the sources of DNS server module and see if you could figure out the fix yourself and attach the patch. The code is here: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/dns-server The file that probably needs to be fixed is the main DnsServer.pm module. fB. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
