We know the MAC address isn't set in fconfig; in previous RedBoot version it would result in a static MAC address being set. I don't think the lack of MAC address itself is an issue, unless it prevents RedBoot from working properly. The issue is rather with the clock not being picked up by the kernel, probably because it was initialized differently or not at all. -- notification area applets crash on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login
the thing is that if a network connection would have been possible the system would automatically set the clock via ntp if an ntp server can be reached during bringing up the interface. so due to the MAC address not being set and in turn the interface not being able to be brought up the fallback mechanism for setting the clock was blocked additionally to the initial problem of the clock being off by ~50 years -- notification area applets crash on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

RE: [Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login
That is correct, the issue is not related to networking. It is related to the time not being set correctly. We (Freescale) will have to investigate to see why the time is not setup correctly. However this should not cause Ubuntu to fail during bootup, this needs investigation from Canonical. -Original Message- From: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of Loïc Minier Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 4:52 AM To: Mahadevan Mahesh-R9AADQ Subject: [Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login We know the MAC address isn't set in fconfig; in previous RedBoot version it would result in a static MAC address being set.

[Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login
@maresh no, there are no hardcoded dependencies beyond the basic boot setup, as long as the fis partitioning is the same and initramfs is used as explained above there should be no issues. your description sounds like a race between kernel and hardware (timing issue) ... my theory would be that the kernel gets confused because HW is still initializing which makes some essential underlying service like udev fail (which in ubuntu is very closely bound to the kernel we use since we are always using the latest upstream here) ... which in turn might cause a service the applets need to fail (hal/dbus etc) ... can you compare (and probably attach) the kernels dmesg output from a boot with the function in place and one without the function in place ? @alan one easy way is to just put the keyword text on the kernel commandline so you get a textboot and can start gdm manually with the initscript (or just call startx and attach gdb from a different tty to the process you want to debug)... given that the whole issue looks rather like an infrastructural problem here rather than something with the applets themselves i cant tell you where to attach gdb to though, we should work our way through the stack layer by layer to see what part of the backend is exactly failing ... i would still be curious how you get a MAC address in your setup, we didnt see one and didnt get an IP durung our tests, the output of ifconfig after boot, but before a network cable is plugged in on your system would be intresting... -- notification area applets crash on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I took a rootfs with GNOME I had prepared for Babbage 2 which was working fine there, moved that to Babbage 1; it's on a SATA disk which I plug via an USB adapter. I could boot this using the new RedBoot attached to this bug report (candidate 200925 I guess) and it would trigger the described errors. I then overwrote RedBoot with the 200918 version, and I got exactly the same issue. The only difference in dmesg between the boots was in timing of some device detections and an e2fsck line because the first boot triggerred an fsck.

Ok, I booted with RedBoot 200918, still got the issue, stopped gdm, checked the date and it was Tue Aug 14 06:58:02 WEST 1923. I set the date with date -s, restarted gdm, and didn't have the issue anymore. I tried resetting the date to 'Tue Aug 14 06:58:02 WEST 1923', but could NOT as it's an invalid date (before epoch): date: cannot set date: Invalid argument. I added a date -s with a relatively current date in /etc/init.d/gdm, and that fixed the issue on a cold boot.

[Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login
So my understanding is: - some redboot + kernel combo doesn't set RTC correctly on boot anymore; it looks like it's because the I2C chip isn't initialized properly: redboot-200918/dmesg-bad:sgtl5000-i2c 1-000a: Device initialisation failed redboot-200925/dmesg-bad:sgtl5000-i2c 1-000a: Device initialisation failed redboot-ubuntu-cold/dmesg-good:sgtl5000-i2c 1-000a: SGTL5000 revision 0 redboot-ubuntu-hot/dmesg-good:sgtl5000-i2c 1-000a: SGTL5000 revision 0 - some apps in Ubuntu can't deal with a time before epoch; we should fix the time at some point in the boot of the installer; we don't want to do this for all boots, but I think we can have a special case in the installer to set a post-epoch date to make sure Xorg apps work (I'm guessing Xorg apps use timestamps starting from epoch which can't be negative or something similar) Could FSL folks please comment on whether the kernel or RedBoot is broken here?

In the Babbage1 case, the kernel, rootfs, and initrd are unchanged. I have changed redboot only. So no kernel config changes or changes to the initrd scripts/modules. ifconfig shows a loopback device in the failing case. And networking is working. In the Babbage2 case there is no initrd, so yes something is not being set up and the kernel config is different. For now I'm focusing on Babbage1 case as there are less variables there.

Yeah, that's fine, I agree it is good to be real exact about what changed and what didn't, so I'm totally fine with any questions you have on my setup. Are you seeing the failure of the applets after login? I started down the path of DebuggingProgramCrash, not sure which program to pursue as the crashing one. Also difficult since by the time the system is up it has already crashed. I guess if I add a serial console to the exec line I can set up gdb to monitor something before I log into gnome. Hopefully that will be early enough. Any suggestions on which to tell gdb to monitor? My networking is totally working. I must have a MAC address since DHCP is giving me an IP address. I ran ifconfig ifcfg-bad on a failing system and ifconfig ifcfg-good after going back to the happy redboot. No real diff between the two files (except # of bytes/packages tx/rx). So I even got the same IP address from DHCP. -- notification area applets crash on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We narrowed down to code in Redboot that is causing this error message to Pop up. We removed the macro: RedBoot_init(babbage_power_init, RedBoot_INIT_PRIO(900)); which was used to call the function babbage_power_init and instead call the babbage_power_init() function directly earlier from one of the platform init function. We are not clear why this change is impacting Ubuntu. Are there any hard-coded dependencies on Redboot.

[Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login
one other (rather hackish) hint if you want to test a proper kernel/initramfs setup as ubuntu uses it: (well, one way would be to base on a ubuntu kernel package, add your patchset and just build that, since this will call the proper postinstall scripts, use the needed configuration options for security features etc and put things in the right places, but for a quicker way to test your own build, see below) a) do a normal install to USB from the imx51 live image (leave the SD card in place after installation) b) copy the vmlinuz-$version of the kernel you want to test into /boot on the installed system c) put the branch with modules for this kernel under /lib/modules d) run: sudo update-initramfs -c -k $version of the kernel you need the initramfs for d) run: sudo flash-kernel (so the initramfs gets proper padding and kernel and initramfs get put into the redboot patition on SD into the right places) e) reboot this will narrow down the possible causes of failure to kernel or redboot changes and exclude any possibilities of issues caused by a nonstandard boot setup. -- notification area applets crash on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
