Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Tested on Sun's Gnome 2.0 Beta 2 Build 3 version on a Solaris 9 Sparc machine. Reviewed 'System Log ' manual ver 2.2 and found the following mismatch between the explanation in the online help manual and the actual GUI. 1) Section 2. Getting Started Figure 1 shows an older version screenshot. 2) Section 3.1: To View a Log File a) Log->Open Shown in the app as: File->Open b) Log->Switch Log. Shown in the app as: File -> Switch Log 3) Section 3.3: To Monitor Log Files Log->Monitor Shown in the app as: File->Monitor 4) Section 3.5: To View Log File Properties a) To view the properties of the log file, choose Log->Properties. Shown in the app as: File->Properties b) Select the log file that you want to monitor in the left pane of the 'Monitor options' dialog. Shown in the app as: 'Choose logs to monitor' 6) Section 3.5.: To View Log File Properties To view the properties of the log file, choose Log->Properties. The Log stats dialog displays the following information The manual shows the following options : Full path name and filename. Size of the file in bytes. Date the file was last modified. Date the file was created. Date of the most recent log entry. Number of lines in the file. The System Log app shows: Size: Modified: Start Date: Last Date: Number of Lines: 7) Section 3.6: To Close a Log File Log->Close Shown in the app as: File->Close
Please make sure you cc the relevant doc guys.
Updates on this? I assume already fixed? Sun doc guys don't look at bugzilla all to often, almost better off just emailing them directly.
No, these changes are not made. I didn't see this bug until now. I also didn't know that the System Log UI had changed. I will update the manual asap.
Tested with sun beta 2 build 6 package. Source taken from gnome-2-0 branch dated "Tue Aug 27 14:57:39 BST 2002". Still I am able to see the same.
Verified on a build dated 17th September from CVS.Still I am able to see the same.
The above problems are fixed in the System Log Viewer Manual V2.3 and submitted to CVS HEAD.
Fixed. Thanks Irene - you rock.
