[Bug 288862] New: bootloader install kills thinkpad rescue feature

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288862 Summary: bootloader install kills thinkpad rescue feature Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: odabrunz(a)novell.com ReportedBy: snwint(a)novell.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- We've had this in the past and I'm seeing this now again on my X60: yast installs grub into the mbr overwriting the thinkpad bootloader. When you do this, the rescue partition no longer starts. IMO there are two problems: 1) grub should _never ever_ be installed into the mbr 2) if it is, there is a script ('tp_mr') to be used on thinkpads (which unfortunately no longer works correctly with x60 and needs to be adjusted) I can do 2) but I'm not sure this script is still used; please have a look. -- 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.

[Bug 290807] New: gij out of memory

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=290807 Summary: gij out of memory Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 5plus Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: rguenther(a)novell.com ReportedBy: pmladek(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de CC: matz(a)novell.com, dbornkessel(a)novell.com Found By: Development gij has started to consume too much memory about 18 June, 2007. I think that it has been even before the switch to gcc42. The strange thing is that there were no changes in gcc41 around that time... The problem was initially visible in various packages, e.g. jessie, gnu-crypto, and OpenOffice_org. The first two packages have already been compiled on machines with enough memory. OOo has not been built yet. One way to reproduce the bug is to build the package jessie and then start the following command in the build environment: --- cut --- cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD/jessie-1.0.1; /usr/lib64/jvm/java/bin/java "-classpath" "/usr/share/java/com-sun-javadoc-0.7.8.jar:/usr/share/java/com-sun-tools-doclets-Taglet-0.7.8.jar:/usr/share/java/gnu-classpath-tools-gjdoc-0.7.8.jar:/usr/share/java/antlr.jar:" "gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.Main" "-d" "/usr/src/packages/BUILD/jessie-1.0.1/docs/apidocs" "-use" "-windowtitle" "Jessie Documentation" "-doctitle" "<h3>Jessie API documentation</h3>" "-classpath" "/usr/share/java/ant.jar:/usr/share/java/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java/jaxp_parser_impl.jar:/usr/share/java/xml-commons-apis.jar:/usr/lib64/jvm/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/share/java/glibj.jar:/usr/share/java/cryptix.jar" "-sourcepath" "/usr/src/packages/BUILD/jessie-1.0.1" "-version" "-author" "javax.net" "javax.net.ssl" "javax.security.cert" "org.metastatic.callbacks" "org.metastatic.jessie" "org.metastatic.jessie.https" "org.metastatic.jessie.pki" "org.metastatic.jessie.pki.der" "org.metastatic.jessie.pki.ext" "org.metastatic.jessie.pki.io" "org.metastatic.jessie.pki.provider" "org.metastatic.jessie.provider" --- cut --- It needs about 50MB of memory on openSUSE 10.2-x86_64 It needs about 1GB of memory in STABLE. I tried to exchange the needed jar files, glibc and gcc packages between the 10.2 and STABLE build environments. It started to eat the memory after I updated the gcc ones. If you use "ulimit -v 548000", it prints the following message in STABLE: --- cut --- Writing full tree... Writing index... GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL! .. --- cut --- I have also seen the following message when compiling OOo: --- cut --- GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 2097152000): May lead to memory leak and poor performance. GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL! --- cut --- I think that we need to debug it from the gij side. Probably from boehm-gc/alloc.c.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308099 Summary: akregator does not respond to ctrl-W Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers(a)suse.de ReportedBy: rplewe(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- When having several tabs open in akregator, occasionally the ctrl-W to close the active one starts to fail. The only way to restore it seems to be to close and restart akregator, thereby losing all other open tabs. Closing tabs via the icon in the top right corner still works. This happens rarely (less than once per week perhaps), usually when akregator has been open for a longer time, and since at least SUSE 10.0. There seems no way to provoke that behaviour, and I haven't found any way to get around except restarting the application. -- 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.
