https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350980 Summary: The system stops doing things till I press a key or move the mouse: every things halts. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas(a)telefonica.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- This is very weird. Sometimes, the system simply stops "working". Doesn't crash, simply all tasks seems stopped. Nothing refreshes in the display. The clock stops. A script running a loop in a console: #!/bin/bash while true ; do # date +"%T" | tee -a /home/cer/marca.log date +"%T" >> /home/cer/marca.log sleep 1 done stops as well. Then, as soon as I move the mouse or touch a key (shift, for instance) everything continues and the clock jumps some seconds or minutes to the correct time. I have tried several things, as discussed in the "opensuse" mail list (<http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-12/msg01780.html>). No effect. - check the desktop for powersave features - nothing, and there is nothing configurable that would kick in in seconds of no user activity. - pass cpufreq=no as a boot argument --> no good. - Recompile the kernel with "NO_HZ" --> even worse (this is the current state). I will recompile again to undo. And more things I forgot, but you can read the whole story in the mail list or the link above. Sometimes, very random, the system stops completely and does not respond to keyboard, but it awakes when I boot another PC, which I think tries to connect or ask for a service (ntp or dns). My current hack is to leave my router continuously pinging me. My guess is that the pings cause the network card to interrupt the kernel, so it keeps awake. Keyboard or mouse also provokes interrupts. I'm not sure about usb activity. This might be related to other bugs reported by me, I don't know (spamd timeout?) I have been "playing" with the clock (Bug 344356 and a new one not reported yet). The thing is that the kernel defaults to using "acpi_pm" clock and this one misses whole minutes. I have to force use "tsc" (which kernel disabled at boot). jiffies crashes. -- 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.

After I clicked apply, the CRT tells me that the resolution is out of range. Problem is that "Monitor Resolution Settings" moved over to that monitor after apply so I can't see it anymore. We need to have a timed confirm dialog box after clicking apply, wheres if I don't acknowledge the new setup within 10 seconds, it should revert. -- 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 352419] New: strace shows wrong system call

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=352419 Summary: strace shows wrong system call Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth(a)novell.com ReportedBy: opensuse.org(a)contacts.eelis.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Customer Consider the following small program: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main () { printf("--------------------\n"); __asm__("movl $2, %eax; int $0x80"); printf("[i am %d]\n", getpid()); } When compiled and run with gcc t.c && ./a.out I get: -------------------- [i am 10869] [i am 10868] This is what I would expect, as the assembly code performs a fork() (because 2 is SYS_fork on i386, and from what I understand the "int $0x80" performs an emulated i386 system call).

Process 10872 detached Note how a call to open() is reported instead of a call to fork(). Also note how fork() /is/ executed (we see both "[i am 10873]" and "[i am 10872]"). My guess is that strace thinks it's a call to open() because 2 is SYS_open on x86_64. -- 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 399804] New: mousetweaks isn't saved within Gnome Session.

Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jpryor(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- Within Gnome, Computer -> Control Center -> Mouse -> Accessibility tab has a checkbox labeled "Trigger secondary click by holding down the primary button". If you have mousetweaks installed (see also #399801), you should now be able to click and hold your primary mouse button on the desktop, and get the desktop context menu to appear after a short wait. Logout, then Login. Mousetweaks is not started; you need to do either: 1. Re-enable mousetweaks from the control panel applet every time you login; or 2. Edit your Gnome session preferences (gnome-session-properties) and add `mousetweaks` to the Startup Programs tab. This is not ideal, as just `mousetweaks` won't do anything; you need to start `mousetweaks -e DELAY` to get the functionality that the checkbox controls. -- 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.
