Minor error in Fedora 7 test 4 KDE Live CD

[Davide Bolcioni]

Greetings,
on booting the Fedora 7 Test 4 KDE Live CD I get

...
INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
Entering non-interactive startup
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/applications/fedora-knetworkmanager.desktop': no
such file or directory
Starting background readahead (early, full mode)

but the error seems harmless. I also get

Starting dhcdbd:sh: nmblookup: command not found

which also seems harmless (the host is not attached to the network).

Should I report either in Bugzilla, and which component (especially the first,
which seems a live CD problem).

Yes. AFAIR knetworkmanager was in comps.xml for some time. So I removed
the entry from the kickstart file. But now it isn't in comps.xml and so
not included in test4. Don't know what really happened, maybe this was
my fault. So sorry for that. :(

notting recently merged the 2 f7 comps files (core + extras) into 1, and
I would venture this merge lost some of our recently added 'default'
items to the kde-desktop group. Sigh. Just one more thing to fix.

Looking over the cvs history of said comps files, it appears to be
solely my fault. Crap, I hate it when I can't pass the blame. :)

Long story short, I had intended to (re)add knetworkmanager to livecd
conf files, but never got 'round-tuit. Note to self, work harder to
keep comps/livecd-kde-conf in sync, always.

See Bugzilla #238688; dhcdbd is not involved, the problem is with LISa which
periodically attempts to start nmblookup according to the /etc/lisarc found
on the KDE live CD.

Some thoughts on the matter:
- the error is logged to the console, so it's only seen when not running under
X or KDE;
- the above is probably because popen() is involved and the error is printed
by sh(1) through an inhredited fd 2 (stderr), which should probably be
redirected;
- in my opinion, usage of nmblookup should have three states ... disabled,
enabled and available, enabled but unavailable (checked when starting up);
- the control center module should warn if nmblookup is not available when it
is requested but the relevant binary is not the path which is being used by
the LISa code;
- LISa is started also in runlevel 3 on the KDE live CD, which at first blush
seems surprising to me as I thought it was for runlevel 5 only.

Thank you for your consideration,
Davide Bolcioni
