Hello Simon! Can you debug it the following way:
- stop your gpm using application (i.e. w3m) - stop gpm - start gpm with -D and your normal parameters on console 1 add > LOGFILE 2>&1 at the end - start your gpm using application on console 2 - wait until it hangs - abort your program and gpm - send LOGFILE to here (or the URL, if it is too big) Sincerly Nico Simon Raven [Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 01:13:08PM -0400]: > Package: gpm > Version: 1.20.3~pre3-3 > Severity: normal > > hi, > > i just finished a run of aptitude (update/upgrade). i do my aptitude run, then > when i hit "Press return to continue." and do so, aptitude hangs just before > it clears the screen to show its window. when gpm is stopped, it continues to > run > normally. this also happens with other apps that are built with libgpmg > support > (w3m, others). when stopped, aptitude does this in syslog: > > ===== > Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: *** info > Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory > Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: *** info > Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory > Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: *** err > Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die! > Apr 16 13:02:46 acahkos aptitude: *** info > Apr 16 13:02:46 acahkos aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory > Apr 16 13:02:46 acahkos aptitude: *** info > Apr 16 13:02:46 acahkos aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory > Apr 16 13:02:46 acahkos aptitude: *** err > Apr 16 13:02:46 acahkos aptitude: Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die! > ===== > > running with udev, so udev removed /dev/gpmctl when gpm was stopped. > > other info provided upon request. > > thanks, > simon > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: lenny/sid > APT prefers unstable > APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') > Architecture: i386 (i686) > > Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.2-acahkos > Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > > Versions of packages gpm depends on: > ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.20 Debian configuration management > sy > ii debianutils 2.28.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific > t > ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries > ii libgpmg1 1.20.3~pre3-3 General Purpose Mouse - shared > lib > ii lsb-base 3.2-8 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init > scrip > ii ucf 3.006 Update Configuration File: > preserv > > gpm recommends no packages. > > -- debconf information: > * gpm/responsiveness: > * gpm/repeat_type: none > * gpm/append: -B 321 > * gpm/restart: true > * gpm/sample_rate: > * gpm/type: exps2 > * gpm/device: /dev/input/mice > > > > _______________________________________________ > pkg-gpm-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-gpm-devel -- Think about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). http://nico.schottelius.org/documentations/foss/the-term-foss/ PGP: BFE4 C736 ABE5 406F 8F42 F7CF B8BE F92A 9885 188C
