Hi, I have recently upgraded from FC20 to FC21 using fedup - it was a pleasantly smooth upgrade...... However..... I do not appear to be being notified of any pending package updates (maybe there arent any? - doubtfull!).. And so (using KDE) I am trying to run system-config-services to check packagekit. (although the command line systemctl tells me packagekit.service is running). When I attempt to run kde->administration->service-management I get no window. When I run system-config-services from the command line I get: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/system-config-services", line 49, in <module> UIController(use_dbus=use_dbus).run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scservices/gui/__init__.py", line 1236, in __init__ self.serviceherders.append(cls(bus=self._bus)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site- packages/scservices/dbus/proxy/serviceherders.py", line 62, in __init__ for service_name in self.list_services(): File "<string>", line 2, in list_services File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slip/dbus/polkit.py", line 121, in _enable_proxy return func(*p, **k) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site- packages/scservices/dbus/proxy/serviceherders.py", line 74, in list_services return self.herder_interface.list_services() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 70, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slip/dbus/proxies.py", line 51, in __call__ return dbus.proxies._ProxyMethod.__call__(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.ValueError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/service.py", line 826, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slip/dbus/service.py", line 153, in wrapped_method reply_handler=reply_handler, error_handler=error_handler) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slip/dbus/polkit.py", line 292, in IsSystemBusNameAuthorizedAsync details) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slip/dbus/polkit.py", line 276, in IsSystemBusNameAuthorizedAsync timeout=method_call_no_timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/slip/dbus/proxies.py", line 51, in __call__ return dbus.proxies._ProxyMethod.__call__(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 137, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 584, in call_async message.append(signature=signature, *args) ValueError: Unable to guess signature from an empty dict ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Same thing if I run it under sudo.
Is this a dbus problem? have I got some other problem with my system config? Am I just being stupid? Any clues?
