[Bug 217563] New: HAL/DBUS doesn't always start properly
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217563 Summary: HAL/DBUS doesn't always start properly Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mboman@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Sometimes when booting up the machine, I've noticed that NetworkManager can't find any network cards. A restart normally solves this. I found out that HAL/DBUS doesn't always start properly. I'm attaching boot.msg and message incase that helps. mblxws01:/home/mboman/tmp # ps auxw|grep -i hal 101 2983 0.0 0.0 2028 880 ?

This sounds very familiar, it's the same in bug 218184: hald doesn't start properly, but as soon as the debug parameters are added, it does.

You can test that by replacing startproc -p $HALDAEMON_PID $HALDAEMON_BIN $HALDAEMON_PARA with sleep 5 && tartproc -p $HALDAEMON_PID $HALDAEMON_BIN $HALDAEMON_PARA in '/etc/init.d/haldaemon'.

sleep 5 && tartproc -p $HALDAEMON_PID $HALDAEMON_BIN $HALDAEMON_PARA

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217563 ------- Comment #18 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-11-11 13:30 MST ------- Knowing that the desired way to debug hald is --daemon=yes --verbose=yes --use-syslog, I have ignored this because it makes the problem irreproducible. Instead I have changed the startproc invocation to be as follows: HALDAEMON_PARA="--daemon=no" startproc -l /tmp/hal_output.txt -p $HALDAEMON_PID $HALDAEMON_BIN $HALDAEMON_PARA You can find my /tmp/hal_output.txt attached.

I have made the change requested in Comment #16 As the problem is difficult to reproduce reliably, I can't tell if it made any difference. I will report it it reoccurs.. (Note. The problem most reliably occurs on the first and second reboot after a "smart upgrade"..

It causes me major annoyance, but would send a non-expert linux user running for another platform if it affects them... As it is I can't figure out a reliable way to stop it happening or to reproduce it... When it happens, its possible to reboot 3 or 4 times without fixing it at which point I usually revert to a manual "ifconfig up" on an ethernet cable. One or 2 reboots later it usually fixes itself and I return to using wifi as normal... -- 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.

Only the engineers should touch the "Severity" field. Be patient, I'm very confident that this report will be handled properly nevertheless. I think now it's time to wait and see whether the information about the failed assertion in file blockdev.c: line 835 goes into the right direction. -- 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=217563 ------- Comment #24 from dkukawka@novell.com 2006-11-11 14:28 MST ------- hm ... the g_assert() call is IMO really strange and the only case in the complete code where the complete daemon die because a device could not be found. And somehow the code look not really 'secure/save', because the code only try to get the parent device from the gdl and not from tdl. Could be a littlebit racy.
