Alexander, how much memory does your machine have?

The first time it happened when I was installing openSUSE on a computer with 4 GB RAM. The second time I reproduced it when installing it to a vmware virtual machine with 768M ram (IIRC). -- 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.

However, YaST did not hang, but crashed for me. Situation: - installing M7 from DVD (in VirtualBox) - add Add-On during the installation, use CD media (so I have to remove current installation media; it works correctly when medias are of different type) - during _second_ entry in User Settings (as written in comment 0), it crashes after "loading cracklib extension" popup -- 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.

There isn't by any chance the add-on media still inserted when it looks for the extension?

Yes it is. There's Add-On media inserted and not the installation one. -- 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.

Than it tries to call cracklib agent, which results in the crash. However in the last log (comment 8), extend actually returns true: 2009-09-17 02:55:30 <1> linux(2725) [YCP] InstExtensionImage.ycp:326 Returned: $["exit":0, "stderr":"", "stdout":"cracklib-dict-full.rpm: extend ok\n"] .. so even if I'd check the value, here YaST would be cheated. -- 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.

Now, even when extend failure (Steffen?), YaST should not crash. Martin, could you look for the crash reason? (see logs above)

Logs from comment 8: the signal log shows a UI backtrace but that is probably from the wrong thread. y2log shows that it crashes(*) while trying to SCR::Execute(.crack, "q") (the line with PathInfo.cc(recursive_rmdir) is the start of global destructors) We've already seen a bug where an agent crashes because it is missing some data: see bug 506781. The crash is a duplicate of that. *) actually more likely an attempted exit (bug 506781 comment 4) -- 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.
