http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498638 Summary: clock, networkmanger, powerdevil broken after latest update, maybe dbus problems Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers(a)suse.de ReportedBy: novellnervt(a)squealer.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Opera/10.00 (X11; Linux i686; U; de) Presto/2.2.1 After the latest kde 4.2.2 updates from the buildservice, many things (that occoured earlier but seemed to be solved) are broken: - the standard digital clock is invisible, mouseover points to "0:00 h". "date" works. - the networkmanager applet is again not saving passphrases for wireless networks, also lost all known networks and only connects via cable. - the batteryicon is like "no battery" was found, shows also nothing but the "screenlight" bar, "powersave -b" complains about a VAR not set to divide, my research says, something from "hal" was not returned right (row 34 in /usr/bin/powersave) - no keycommands work. alt+f2 does nothing, also my self defined ones. "systemstettings -> keyboard shortcuts" complains about "No such object path '/KdedGlobalAccel' Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObjekt" Also some Plasmoids does not work anymore, the traditional menu button disappeared first but can be reassigned after a restart. Also, removements of plasmoids are not saved properly, I ended up with about three networkmanager plasmoids until I delete them from ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-aplletsrc by hand. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. activate build service repos for kde 4.2 2. zypper dup 3. wait and see Actual Results: lotta crap Expected Results: behaviour like before repos: KDE 4.2 Community, -Core, -Extra, -QT, os 11.1 OSS, - NON-OSS, -Update, -Web-cam, videolan, packman, buidlservice-games, dell -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I tried to restart kde, rebooted, but although kdm was reported to start ok, there was no gui for the login. Runlevels seem okay. I started yast from root and started sax2. It started but after a brief display of the desktop-background reported: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 139. Please ..." running startkde from the prompt ends with a long list of warnings: " No symbols defines for ..." and a failure messeage: " usr/bin/startkde: Line 95: 4298 Segmentation fault kstartupconfig4" 1. How can I make this crap restart? 2. How is it possible that obviously an update package containing such a bug can be uplaoded to the repository????? Thanks for your help! Jay Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot system 2. 3.

[Bug 497624] New: thread waiting for semaphore is not woken
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 15 May '09

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497624 Summary: thread waiting for semaphore is not woken Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth(a)novell.com ReportedBy: keesjan(a)cas.et.tudelft.nl QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=287759) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=287759) Archive containing source files and build-script (see "sema/doit") User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032600 SUSE/3.0.8-1.1.1 Firefox/3.0.8 A (relatively) simple program with 2 threads (a main thread and a seperate thread) causes an "artificial" deadlock situation on 32bit openSUSE 11.1. I have tried this also on 32bit openSUSE 10 and there this problem did not occur. Let me describe the problem in more detail. Basically, in my program (see attachment and details below) there are two semaphores. The main thread does a "post" on semaphore "sema1" and then a "wait" on sema2, and the child thread does a "wait" on sema1 and then a "post" on sema2. As I understand, this should pose no possibility for deadlock, yet it occurs in my test-program, almost every time I run it (but not always!) Curiously, when the program is hanging, I can hit Ctrl-Z to stop it, then type "fg" to continue it, and it will in fact continue running. Thus it can overcome the "artificial" deadlock situation by sending it some signals (although the program has no signal handler installed, or anything related). In the attachment is an archive which can be used to reproduce this problem. Unfortunately, I could not put all the code into one file, as doing this breaks the reproducibility (!) It appears that the dynamic linker is also involved in the problem, but I am not certain. However, I do not believe the build-tools are to blame (see explanation below). I would like to note that I find this problem quite serious, since it took me almost a day to dumb down my code (about 30.000 lines) to this little example program (165 lines) which reproduces the problem. I would certainly like to know the exact cause of this, so that we can continue developing on openSUSE with the faith it deserves :-) Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 0. make sure you have openSUSE 11.1, and a 32bit machine. 1. extract the archive in the attachment 2. cd to the directory called "sema" (which exists after extraction) 3. run the script "./doit", possibly several times if the problem does not occur. 4. if the script hangs, bingo :-/ 5. optionally type "Ctrl-Z" and then "fg" to see that the program continues. This demonstrates that something is definitely not ok. Actual Results: The "doit" script hangs, which means that the executable ".out/main" hangs. >From the output you can see that the script is waiting for a semaphore. There is a line in the output containing "waiting", where the semaphore address is posted to later (also shown in the output). However, the waiting thread does not continue. Expected Results: The script should have finished normally, without hanging. I have also tested this on a 64bit machine with openSUSE 11.1. There, the problem cannot be reproduced. Also, I have tested this on a clean 32bit VirtualBox installation of openSUSE 11.1, where the problem *CAN* be reproduced easily. I can provide the corresponding virtual disk (.vdi) upon request. To see whether this is a problem with the build tools, I did the following test: I compiled the program on openSUSE 10 (where the problem does not occur), and transferred the binaries (libraries and executable) to the openSUSE 11.1 machine. The result: the problem again occurred! Therefore, I believe the build-tools are at least sane (but this is not 100% sure of course). I suspect (but nothing more) that the problem is either in the libraries (libpthread, glibc), or in the kernel of openSUSE 11.1. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
