https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471249 Summary: mount hangs trying to loopback an image on a fuse mouted NTFS partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: contact(a)philipashmore.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 In Vista I reduced the two NTFS partitons to their minimum to make space for a GNU/Linux install. Now I can dual boot OpenSuse and Vista. As it turned out, Vista still has over 20GB of free space, so I created a 15GB file using a small C++ program that calls truncate() on the specified file. I could be wrong but I think that by calling truncate, I'm creating a sparse file. It's thousands of times faster than "dd if=/dev/zero ..." which I think also creates a sparse file. # touch /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img # truncate /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img 15G # mkfs -t ext2 /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img Finally I mounted the filesystem using a loopback device. # mount -o,loop,exec /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img /home/butthaed/WinPart I've used this loopback partition intensively and it works fine. Recently, however, I'm getting a kerneloops... http://www.kerneloops.org/submitresult.php?number=205350 ..and the mount never completes. Shutdown also doesn't complete (5 seconds on the power off button solves this) and I get the "recovering journal" and "orphaned inodes" when the machine boots up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenSuse on a Vista machine dual boot. 2. Create a block file on an NTFS partition. 3. Create an ext2 filesystem on the block file. 4. Mount it and use it. Actual Results: Worked great for a while. Now it kerneloops'es. Expected Results: No kerneloops'es. -- 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 466263] New: global xmodmap settings get cancelled by xkbcomp (line 104 of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common)

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466263 Summary: global xmodmap settings get cancelled by xkbcomp (line 104 of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 2 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch(a)novell.com ReportedBy: rfb(a)ch-open.ch QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs(a)forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 Assume you add a statement like keycode 115 = Multi_key to /etc/X11/Xmodmap, which as far as I know is the correct way to make such a setting globally. You will find that indeed in the Username field of the kdm login panel one can compose umlaut characters with the help of the corresponding key. But this setting gets lost in the process of login. It happens when /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common (which is called by /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession) on line 105 calls xkbcomp. My cheap workaround consists of calling xmodmap again: xdpyinfo | grep -q "X.Org version: 6.9.0" || \ setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY /usr/bin/xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap This is probably not the correct solution. xkbcomp should respect global xmodmap settings. regards Rolf Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add an entry to /etc/X11/Xmodmap 2. logout 2. Test the effect of the entry in the Username field of kdm 3. login Actual Results: The setting from /etc/X11/Xmodmap wasn't in effect any more. Expected Results: The setting from /etc/X11/Xmodmap should still be in effect. Probably the fastest way to see everything, is to modify /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common in the following way: #start of code /usr/bin/xmodmap -pke > /tmp/A1 xdpyinfo | grep -q "X.Org version: 6.9.0" || \ # original line setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY # original line /usr/bin/xmodmap -pke > /tmp/A2 #end of code add this line to /etc/X11/Xmodmap: keycode 115 = Multi_key logout login do a diff /tmp/A? -- 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.
