Gsmartcontrol bug in Mageia3
Hello,
After installing Mageia3, gsmartcontrol crashes. It starts, then opens up a window and then crashes. I run this from a command line it does this: Code:
<warn> [app] SmartctlParser::parse_section_info_property(): Unknown property "Vendor" Code:
gsmartcontrol-root |

I have had dbus errors for months, but was fixed in updates (I didn't do anything to try and fix it, 'cause I don't know why I need it, yet). I'm on cauldron, just out of rc3, and now mga4 (since a day or two). The update should be on the way if it's not there already waiting. Cheers, Glenn |
Nigelc, did this help in any way? any other questions?

Hello Glenn,
I have had some system updates, but it still does not work. The is a text based version which works. |
Hi, this might seem silly, but have you tried just prefixing the command "sudo" ?
|
Hi Glenn,
I haven't got the sudoers file confugured: Code:
sudo gsmartcontrol I have even tried running the version in /usr/sbin/gsmartcontrol |
Iḱm having heaps of trouble with su and sudo at the moment.
Supposedly gksu and gksudo are included now, but my system has been upside down since. ie, I need sudo as root. weird! and su or sudo as a user shows, for now at least, no permission to change group. What do you use gsmartcontrol for? |
Quote:
the text based version is called smartctl. The drives can also be tested. http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net...martctl.8.html |
OK.
I don't know of any other way to monitor/test harddisks, 'cept temp with hddtemp. Just a thought, have you seen in the "BackPorts" (older versions that still work/ported to the latest release) repo to see if smartcontrol is in there? |
I just installed gsmartcontrol > dragged in smartmontools
Code:
urpmi gsmartcontrol (25-07 18:33) Have you tried to run the app from a terminal like konsole or xterm? Because, the output will have any errors. Just a thought. Regards Glenn ps, you can exit the program, in most instances, with... Code:
ctrl+c |
OK, try to run the gui ver name in a cli.
open a teminal and type, first without -help Code:
sudo gsmartcontrol --help |
