Bug#656762: gnome-shell: after "something went wrong" no chance to save any data at all

2012-01-27 Thread Stephan Braun
Package: gnome-session
Followup-For: Bug #656762

Hi,

I just want to say that I'm too experiencing the issue of massive g-s-d
crashes with the "fail-whale" showing up every now and then.
For that crash window: it seems to be just a stupid application, so a ALT-F4
closes it and you get your desktop back.

As a workaround I downgraded libglib2.0 to version 2.30.2-4 and it seems
to run pretty stable, though no thorough testing done yet!

Bug#624010: udev: system does not boot because of inactivated lvm root device

I tried but it didn't help.
But according to the initramfs-tools manpage, the scripts in
init-bottom are executed last. So why should this help with the timing
issue of a script in local-top?

Bug#624010: udev: system does not boot because of inactivated lvm root device

So I first had a look there and enabled debugging.

It looked like the lvm2 script didn't find any VG with udev-168-1:
 ==
| + /scripts/local-top/mdadm
| Begin: Loadingdone.
| + [ -e /conf/param.conf ]
| + /scripts/local-top/lvm2
|   Volume group "vg01" not found
|   Skipping volume group vg01
| Unable to find LVM volume vg01/lv01
| + [ -e /conf/param.conf ]
| + /scripts/local-top/cryptroot
| + [ -e /conf/param.conf ]
 ==

But when I started the same script on the initramfs console, the VG and
LV were found and activated, so I assumed a timing issue.

I then added a "sleep 10" before the activation command in the above
script and on the next reboot, the system booted again fine - although
with this 10 s delay ;-)

I am not very familiar with how exactly initrd is working, what starts
first, etc. - but somehow the new udev causes a confusion in the right
running order or at least timing.
Maybe it takes longer to start… or whatever. Is it possible to change
this somehow without this additional "sleep"?

Steve

Bug#624010: udev: system does not boot because of inactivated lvm root device

>Just to be sure, does the boot process stop in the initramfs or is the

the root fs is on a LVM but the volume group does not get activated,
therefore the root fs cannot be mounted.

the boot process stops in the initramfs with the message:
"Begin: waiting for root file system..."

after a few seconds, the initramfs busybox starts, I activate the LVM
volume group (vgchange -a y vg01), exit busybox and the boot process
continues (with the message "running scripts/local-premount")


>Do you happen to have both /run/udev/ and /dev/.udev/ on your system?

I do have /dev/.udev but /run was removed with base-files 6.3 again, so
I don't have /run/udev. But since /root is not yet mounted on my
system, the error must be something else.

It would be nice if you could give me some hints, where to investigate,
e.g. the changes between 167-3 and 168-1.
I found out there had been more changes in the init script than the one
you pointed out (at least in structure), so I tried to old script with
the new udev, but this also didn't work.

sorry, this didn't work

(I did run "update-initramfs" after modifying the init script)

Bug#624010: udev: system does not boot because of inactivated lvm root device

2011-04-25 Thread Stephan Braun
Package: udev
Version: 168-1
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks the whole system

after updating to udev 168-1 the system stops at boot time because of
the missing root device.
My root is a LVM device which was not activated during the boot process.
After manually activiating it, I was able to resume normal boot.
I downgraded udev to 167-3 and the boot process worked again as
expected, so it seems new udev doesn't activate LVM volume groups
correctly.

Bug#579008: ocrfeeder: included module 'util' breaks exfalso/quodlibet

2010-04-24 Thread Stephan Braun
Package: ocrfeeder
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks unrelated software

After installing ocrfeeder the included module 'util' is installed for
system wide python access. This breaks exfalso/quodlibet, because they
try to access their own 'util' module, but get the one of ocrfeeder
instead and therefore crash at startup.
