[Bug 929806] y2base occasionally freezes during install due to bug exposed by glibc: SR#295007
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=929806
--- Comment #17 from Mel Gorman
I have used https://github.com/openSUSE/mksusecd to make an installation ISO with the new glibc, but I still cannot reproduce the problem.
Have you tried with the iso linked at https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/60367/asset/3037? I was definitely able to stall that when installing under KVM. I was using a machine with 8 logical CPUs and the launch command qemu-kvm \ -cpu host \ -hda disk.img \ -drive file=3037.iso,media=cdrom \ -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user,hostname=installcheck \ -m 1G \ -monitor stdio \ -name Installer \ "$@" It's not 100% reproducible. Only 1 in 5 installations failed.
I have used kvm on x86_64, first with a single cpu, then with "-smp 2". I have used MALLOC_CHECK_=3 and run y2base under valgrind. It has uncovered problems that I reported in bug 932306, but they all seem minor and not related to the UI thread.
There is an outside possibility that this was fixed since by accident. If you make the ISO you used available somewhere then I can try installing with it and see can I hit the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
