[Bug 1073926] New: YaST causing system lockup
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1073926 Bug ID: 1073926 Summary: YaST causing system lockup Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: doriang2015@outlook.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 754100 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=754100&action=edit File generated by save_y2logs Upon selecting certain options in the main YaST window, the system completely locks up. The only option is a forced shutdown. Options which have frozen the system are; -Software Repositories -Hardware Information -Printer -Boot Loader -Kernel Settings -Partitioner -Snapper This is when running the GTK graphical version on Gnome 3.26.2. It also happened on one occasion using the non-graphical NCURSES/terminal version running in single-user mode when the Boot Loader option was selected. This has occurred on at least 3 laptops by different manufacturers (MSI, Acer, HP). I have attached the file generated by save_y2logs. This log is from the MSI system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Does it happen always? I check logs and e.g. for software repositories I see some actions like pressing buttons. And does it froze immediatelly when you select module or later when doing something there?
It happens most of the time, and it is when a module is selected such as the ones I listed. At that point, the system completely locks up and all I can do is force a shutdown by holding the power button. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

So it is complete system lockup? you cannot switch to e.g. console with ctrl+alt+f* ? or can you ssh to machine?
What we can try to identify problematic part is to call it with strace and redirect output to file, which you will attach.
Something like
strace -ff -o ~/yast.strace /sbin/yast2 bootloader
and then pack and attach all ~/yast.strace.* files
pack e.g. with tar cjf ~/yast.strace.tar.bz2 ~/yast.strace*
I've attached the file above. And yes it is a complete lockup. I cannot switch to a different TTY console with CTRL+ALT+F1-6 nor can I SSH into the machine. HDD and network activity lights are dead. The machine will not sleep if I close the lid or press the power button. The only option is forced power off. The attached file above is the trace from the very first attempt at opening the bootloader. If any other information may come in handy, please let me know. I would like to wipe this partition and change to openSUSE Leap to have a working system, but I would like to help provide as much info as possible as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, after installing Nvidia optimus drivers using the same instructions page as I used for Tumbleweed, it broke the system. I recovered and retried a few times but never got it working. Now with 2 broken openSUSE OSes on my system, I've given up on the openSUSE distro and deleted all the partitions. I hope the information I've provided can help in some way. I will not be reinstalling openSUSE so I cannot provide any further information. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
