RHBA-2009:0277 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
hwbrowser bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated hwbrowser package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Hwbrowser is a browser for the current hardware configuration.
This updated package contains the following bug fix:
- both hal-device-manager and hwbrowser used the same name ("Hardware") in
the System>Administration menu, as well as the same icon (hwbrowser.png).
The existence of two apparently identical entries in the menu that launch
two different applications could be confusing to users. Since hwbrowser is
now a legacy tool, it no longer creates a menu item upon installation, thus
eliminating the potential confusion. Users can still run hwbrowser from the
command line.
Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
