https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812630 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812630#c0 Summary: yast crashes on updates during installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mike.catanzaro@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=532742) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=532742) y2logs User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 I was installing openSUSE 12.3 (GNOME desktop) from the DVD. I unchecked "automatic configuration" at the beginning and so I had the opportunity to do a system update at the end of the installation. During the update, yast died; I wound up on a tty that said something along the lines of "yast caught signal 15" (I believe that was the number) and then "yast caught signal 1". I powered off my computer manually; when I powered on I was allowed to complete the installation but chose to skip updates this time. I did NOT lose any data; YaST remembered all of my settings and most of the updates had been applied. So +1 for graceful failure, at least. Reproducible: Didn't try y2logs attached! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is YaST setting a specific environment variable during the upgrade ?

I'm not aware of any other than YAST_IS_RUNNING. Is there a way to adapt systemd macros during 2nd stage, so I can test if it will help? I'm able to reproduce the situation described in bug, so if I could patch/restart something right before YaST starts online update, that would be nice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unfortunately not, it sets only YAST_IS_RUNNING to "instsys" in the first stage, in the second stage it is "yes" which is the same as in installed system. (https://github.com/yast/yast-core/blob/master/liby2/src/genericfrontend.cc#L...) But maybe you could check for running yast via pgrep or something like that...

Arggg, it is in %service_del_postun, so the 'try-restart' call is in the "old" package being uninstalled, not the "new" one being upgraded..

After searching a little more in systemd, we could add either RefuseManualStart=true or RefuseManualStop=true in Yast second-stage systemd unit file. This should make the try-restart do nothing.

But that file is still part of yast2-installation, right? So we could not update it before the old one is used... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, you need to run systemctl daemon-reload (this should be done by the current systemd macros). This should make try-restart to fail.
