Package: gnome-nettool Version: 2.28.0-1 Severity: normal gnome-nettool's finger functionality does not work. If I try to finger bmc crustytoothpaste ath cx or amu monk mit edu (or anyone else, for that matter), it sends no packets, and produces only the output: Login Name TTY Idle When Where For local fingering, such as simply "bmc", it doesn't print the output that the finger output would, but only a list of logged-in sessions. I mention this not to conflate two separate issues, but because I think they might be related. In fact, AFAICT, the username box is completely ignored. At the console, gnome-nettool prints the following: lakeview ok % gnome-nettool (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkToggleAction' to `GtkWidget' (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:28775): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed gnome-nettool should properly print the same output as finger(1), at least when querying remote machines.
