[Bug 197190] IA64: Xserver shutdown freezes machine w/ R420 + flat panels

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=197190 ------- Comment #59 from edwardsg(a)sgi.com 2006-11-30 17:41 MST ------- We die in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:vga_set_palette() vga_w(state.vgabase, VGA_PEL_MSK, 0xff); for (i = j = 0; i < 16; i++) { vga_w(state.vgabase, VGA_PEL_IW, table[i]); <--- when we do the first write to VGA_PEL_IW (0x3c8) with a value of 0. Since the write times out, I suspect it causes the card to wedge. We go through vga_set_palette twice before successfully, once on bootup and once on X startup. We know this hardware combination works fine in SLES10, so to narrow it down, I tried it with a sles10 kernel (required a change to valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() so the /dev/mem mmap didn't fail) and the radeon driver at tag XORG-7_0 (which I believe is SLES10?). This failed the same way, so it's back looking like an xorg issue. I'll probably need a kick in the right direction at where to start looking next. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 207643] New: mc - needs to be compiled with --with-samba
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 01 Dec '06

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=207643 Summary: mc - needs to be compiled with --with-samba Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 plus Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda(a)ij.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de 1-smbfs vfs support is scheduled for imminent removal from kernel (2.6.18 final?) because smbfs is no longer maintained, supposedly replaced by cifs 2-cifs vfs kernel support for old LANMAN versions in OS/2 and Win9x is broken and may never be adequately fixed due to security problems fixing it could impose and/or lack of interest from those with competence to provide the very complex fix 3-It was written on the mc(a)gnome.org mailing list that mc cannot merely be user recompiled with --with-samba due to conflict with SUSE's implementation of UTF-8 in mc mc compiled with --with-samba provides native samba vfs access to OS/2 and Win9x servers. If 10.2 ships with a kernel that lacks smbfs vfs support, 10.2 will be crippled in its ability to network with OS/2 and/or Win9x servers. Having mc so compiled would provide relief from this problem. Even if release kernel retains smbfs vfs support, it would be nice to have working smbfs vfs support in mc. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224818 ------- Comment #23 from miguel(a)ximian.com 2006-11-30 16:06 MST ------- Paolo found another problem with UnixSignal, the code does not keep a reference to the handler passed to the kernel. Without keeping a reference, the Garbage Collector would dispose the "trampoline" code that is used to call back into C#, so effectively the kernel could call back at any point something random. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224818 ------- Comment #22 from snorp(a)ximian.com 2006-11-30 15:58 MST ------- Yeah, as Miguel says, this is pretty broken. That struct evidently changed size at one point. I think I was using suse 9.0 when that was created. In all fairness, we didn't go out of our way to avoid using the established guidelines -- they simply did not exist when this was written. There is a much better signal handling solution in zmd itself, and that code should probably just be copied to rug. It does the signal handling in unmanaged code, and signals the managed pieces through a pipe. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224818 ------- Comment #20 from miguel(a)ximian.com 2006-11-30 15:39 MST ------- Ok, we found out what the problem was. It took a while, but we found it. ZMD is broken for the following reasons: The use of signal handlers is not supported in Mono, but we provided a way of doing it for those that knew what they were doing, for details see: (http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Technical#Can_I_use_signal_handlers_with_M…) ZMD does not follow the practice (which is extremely tricky) and instead created their own. The problem is that signal handlers can be invoked at any time, and they would trigger a JIT compilation of the code, and this would break the locking mechanism inside the JIT. So our process documents how to get this going (and we still strongly encourage people to not use signal handlers with their applications, because it is error prone). * ZMD went beyond the only supported practice, did not follow the advise, and got clever with its use of signals, in particular, they created a "SigAction structure" that they intended would map into the underlying sigaction structure of the operating system (which is highly OS dependent, and their code has a definition that they probably copied from somewhere, that somewhere is probably not Linux though, we did not document that nor provide code similar to that). The definition they are using is: internal struct SigActionData { public SignalHandler handler; public UInt64 flags; public SignalRestorer restorer; public UInt64 mask; // The actual struct has one long[2] type here but this works. public UInt64 mask2; } (That is from rug's UnixSignal.cs file). The above does not match the definition for sigaction on my SLED 10, I do not know where they copied that from. Then they call "sigaction", and hope that Mono will translate the structures, which it does, but does structures do not match the OS, so garbage goes to the OS, and garbage is copied back, likely overwriting internal structures back and forth. In fact, the structure on my machine is smaller, so there is guaranteed corruption. To explain this in C terms, this is like someone not using #include <sigaction.h> and instead typing the definition *incorrectly* into the C file and expecting that things will work. The crasher happened exactly because of that problem. Solution: do not even compile against the UnixSignal.cs from rug, and remove any references to it from rug. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 209664] New: GL: video stocks every 5 seconds for 0,2 millisecond (or something)

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=209664 Summary: GL: video stocks every 5 seconds for 0,2 millisecond (or something) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: azerion(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de I really have no idea how to report this and to who. I will try to explain what happens. GL-screensavers do work very nice. Everything goes smooth BUT: every X seconds it seem to pause and then it continues again. So it is not a matter of video-power, but I cannot say who's problem this is. It have been reported on the ML some time ago and I will open a new topic about it to check if there is a 'connection' between the complainers. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
