Yast2-logs for 'profile manager' starts, modifications of resource_group network

It takes some time, because i have to reinstall my opensuse 10.3, because of some strange misdemeanour.
I reproduced the testcase. 1) start yast2 'profile manager', activate it, try to change the switch mode to "force", what did not work. The switch mode is always "normal".

2) Then create a new profile named "PROFILE-TEST-COPY" by using the Copy-command of the Profile Chooser of kde. 

3) Then start yast2 'profile-manager' again and add the file /home/kunzm/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc to resource-group "network" (includes the proxy-information for Konqueror), save it, close yast2 'profile-manager'. result: The file /var/lib/scpm/resource_group/network was created and looked like this:
mklaptop:/var/lib/scpm/resource_groups # cat network
description Grundlegende Netzwerkeinstellungen
Dienst network
Datei /etc/hosts
Datei /etc/resolv.conf
Datei /etc/sysconfig/network
Datei /etc/sysconfig/network/config
Datei /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp

Datei /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d
Datei /etc/sysconfig/network/wireless
Datei /etc/host.conf inactive
Datei /etc/HOSTNAME inactive
Datei /etc/sysconfig/proxy inactive
file /home/kunzm/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc

4) start yast2 'profile manager' and resave the changes of resource-group "network". -> result: The file /var/lib/scpm/resource_group/network now lookes like this:
mklaptop:/var/lib/scpm/resource_groups # cat network
description Grundlegende Netzwerkeinstellungen

 /etc/resolv.conf

 /etc/sysconfig/network/wireless
 /etc/host.conf inactive
 /etc/HOSTNAME inactive
 /etc/sysconfig/proxy inactive
Datei /home/kunzm/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc

5) start yast2 'profile-manager' and try to take a look at the resource-group "network". Result: It is empty!!! (see attached screenshot).

This screenshot shows the empty resource-group "network" finally shown by Yast2 and on the left side the cat-output of /var/lib/scpm/resource_groups/network in the difference testcases.

Oops, there's definitelly a bug that causes not reading/writing the sysconfig file. I hope other issues are a consequences of this one.

patch for /usr/share/YaST2/modules/ProfileManager.ycp

Please patch your /usr/share/YaST2/modules/ProfileManager.ycp, than call 'ycpc -c /usr/share/YaST2/modules/ProfileManager.ycp' and try again if also other issues occur.

No, it is not enough. Investigating...

patch for /usr/share/YaST2/include/profile-manager/dialogs.ycp

OK, so this additional patch for /usr/share/YaST2/include/profile-manager/dialogs.ycp should fix the rest. Please test and report your result.

Anja, please provide a tracker ID

i applied patches.
When i changed profiles
Dates from resource groups not saved.
"backup network resource group files" are not saved to /var/lib/scpm/profiles.
the file network is missing at directory /var/lib/scpm/profiles/default/service ??

Hm, strange. I assume this may be caused by the fact that resource groups were broken before applying the patch. Could you try fresh setup?

i  uninstalled scpm,yast profil-manager; deleted directory /var/lib/scpm; again installed and patched
and the reason seems to be eliminated.

you mean that "the problem seems to be eliminated", right?

Hi @ALL,
sorry, but i'm just engaged with some other work now. I hope that this evening i have the time to reproduce and hopefully can confirm what Patr Matual says.
Greetings Martin

ok, no fix - no update

Well, it was tested by at least 2 persons, me and Petr Matula (comment 15), but let's wait for original requester as well...

I have checked it now. It seems to work. 
@Petr: It was not necessary to uninstall and install all again. I only need to reset the broken resource_group after the patch and save it and close the profile-manager. Than i can reopen the profile-manager again and i am possible to modify the resource-groups now.
@Jiri: Something is a little bit mistakable in the dialogs of the profile-manager. I first thought, that i should add the files like /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 to the resource-group "network".
In fact i don't need to add them, because they are already monitored by the default "file" /etc/sysconfig/network (which is a folder, not a file). Perhaps it is possible to point that out in the helps (or better parse the added files if they are already watch by another "file" ;-) )
Also the cross is not described, for which the file is active or inactive.

Another little problem: I'm not able to add a folder to be monitored via the dialog of the profile-manager (not by the search-function, only by typing it into the field).
But the patch works.

Thanks Martin

Martin, could you please open the rest of issues (no check for duplicate entries and entering directories) as a separate bug report? There are not really severe, and I would like to have this one released asap. Thanks.

@Petr: I have to correct myself. Cause of my resource-groups-tests yesterday evening, this morning all my profiles are broken. The ip-address did not change, when i switch the profile. So i have to reconfigure all the ip-addresses in my profiles and save them again.
These are one of my (bad) experiences already known from older (open)suse-releases. If you began to change some "files" in one resource-group _after_ you have already created some profiles, this malfunction could happen. Is this a bug or a feature? ;-)

I'm not sure - anyway it looks like bug or feature targeted for scpm, not for the YaST GUI (you may want to open a new report for it, please stick to original problem here). 

In suse 8 (?)  yast profile manager had capability as you can tell SCPM to launch pre-start and post-start or pre-stop and post-stop scripts when loading or unloading a profile (http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2004/04/069-scpm/scpm_yast3.png). 
This capability was removed from gui. 
Why ?

Please do not bring even more topics to this bug. 

yast2-profile-manager was changed to configuration tool of scpm and the rest of actions scpm does were moved to different progrom (SUMF). If you think something is still missing, or you have any other furhter questions, please use the opensuse-factory mailing list or open another bug report.

The fixed version for 10.3 is yast2-profile-manager-2.15.1.
