Summary: vnc installation crashes Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: mmrazik@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: ---

This might be a duplicate of bug #358865 but I'm observing this on a i386 machine (it is a x86_64 host with i386 installation).
VNC installation crashes right after connection of the VNC client. The VNC client is asked for a password and right after the password is entered the installation crashes with "An error occurred during the installation" message.
y2logs attached. Unfortunately I don't know how to debug this better so if you need more logs please let me know. I think this one may be easy to reproduce. Attached are 2 screenshots from the text console (from KVM). This host doesn't have serial port thus I'm unable to attach the whole output.

I've installed beta3plus, added glibc-debuginfo and executed Xvnc in gdb. After I entered password at the client side I received SIGABRT on the server side:

I know its too late for 11.0 but it would be nice to have this fixed for 11.1/sles11 (it looks like I have three affected hosts in server-room I'm using for testing). Is there anything else I can do? I can give you access to the host if you need it.

installation was made onto vmware virtual machine. everything was setted up according novell documentation. tightvnc 1.3.9 on windows platform was used as a client.

--- Comment #21 from Vilem Marsik vmarsik@novell.com 2008-06-23 09:55:02 MDT --- You need to: - start the installation with vnc=1 and vnc_password=<something> - wait until the installer writes that you can connect via VNC - connect from another machine via vncviewer - supply the password - at this moment, the vncviewer opens a window that instantly disappears; the installer on the another machine crashes at the same moment
You should perhaps have a right version of the vncviewer.
The same (incl. same machines and same vncviewer version) works fine for our newer SLES releases, the problem occurs on openSuSE only.

Yet when I disconnect the vncviewer from openSuSE11 (tightvnc-1.3.9-69.1), and reconnect from openSuSE10.3 (tightvnc-1.3.9-15), the installer crashes again.
Perhaps an issue that only appears with older versions of tightvnc?

--- Comment #36 from Andreas Jaeger aj@novell.com 2008-07-02 02:56:18 MDT --- Ad #33: So, what is Stefan doing different from everybody where it fails? Please read again comments #24 and #25. Stefan tried everything he could, so help him to reproduce it, otherwise he cannot fix it.
On the other hand: If any of you that can reproduce it that easily could debug it and send more details, this would help even more!

(looks like this may also be related to #351338, seems to me that the -noreset workaround doesn't help all the times)
This workaround is likely no longer required due to schwab's fix (xorg-server-1.4-vnc-memory.diff) in xorg-x11-server sources.

--- Comment #39 from Stefan Dirsch sndirsch@novell.com 2008-07-02 03:26:20 MDT --- See Bug #358865, comment #52. Assuming instsys is 11.0-i386/11.0-x86_64 there are about 8 combinations to be tested. I've already tested 6 of them (11.0-i386/11.0-x86_64/10.3-i386 as VNC client with both 11.0-i386/11.0-x86_64 as VNC server) and couldn't reproduce the issue.

Again. Please read comment #52 of Bug #358865. Unfortunately I can't look into this issue before next week.
So what assurance is there that the PPC bug will resolve the issue on non-PPC platforms?
There is no guarantee. Never. Maybe, if I ever will be able to reproduce the issue, I might fix a different crash than occurs on your side. We'll see.

Andreas van dem Helge: Please stop reassing this bug around, this will not help at all and produce just frustration in my team!
I fully agree. So can you please stop this reopen game, please ?!? Thanks!

I had tested using UltraVNC 1.1.0.2 running on Windows Vista and also using the java viewer on the same OS with the latest Firefox 2 browser, both providing the same results.
When I provide the relevant logs in this ticket will you stop playing the re-close game? What is the issue with leaving an open bug with status of "need info" or "unverified?"

Verified UltraVNC 1.0.2 (latest stable) on Windows XP SP2 is *NOT* able to connect fine. (Previously verified issue with same viewer on Windows Vista SP1)
Previously I had tried via SSH tunneling over the internet. Running over the local LAN you can see the screen show for a brief moment the installer welcome screen.
Need to transfer logfiles and verify bug with more VNC clients.

Unfortunately valgrind doesn't help much, it says:

On installed system start "Xvnc -depth 16 :99". On client - with 16bit color depth display - start vncviewer <servername>:99 or your Windows/Browser VNC client. With the original xorg-x11-Xvnc package from DVD this should crash Xvnc. This the updated package it shouldn't.

Indeed without this patch Xvnc crashes immediately when running the VNC client on a 16bit color depth display.
