[Bug 466275] New: Apparent infinite loop for auto update....
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466275 Summary: Apparent infinite loop for auto update.... Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: pmorreale@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- My machine went into an apparent infinite loop attempting to update (I think) an apparmor component this evening. I say this only because the Software update applet on the taskbar continuously flashed through its appropriate icons. I finally killed packagekitd manually. I also found that /var/log/pk_backend_zypp was growing (apparently) unbounded. I am attaching that log to this bug report. The log seems to indicate some apparmor update.... Note that when I installed my T60 laptop with 11.1, i specifically choose to NOT install apparmor. -- 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.

Unfortunately I do not have the precise log file anymore, it was 22MBs at the time I submitted the bug report. Since then it has been automatically purged. Is it appropriate to attach 10MB logs? This is what I have now. However this log appears to be merely a startup and check, rather than an attempt at an install of an update. I get 205 lines of log entries every 5 minutes.

We queue up an idle callback (currently the idle timeout is 5 minutes) and when this fires it asks the backend if it should check for updates. The backend replies "not time yet" so we don't check and the backend shuts down. Hence the entries in the log showing the backend coming up and going down (and doing nothing else) every 5 minutes. The real issue is why is packagekitd emitting the signal repeatedly when it shouldn't be. The backend is basing it's signal emission off libnm_glib_register_callback and it seems to be firing when the network state has not changed. I am looking into whether this is a bug or if there are other events that are supposed to cause this callback to fire. -- 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.

Yes, this used to be a problem in 0.6.x, but I'm pretty sure this is not happening in 0.7. The code has: if (saved_state != new_state) { saved_state = new_state; g_signal_emit (foo, signal, saved_state); } I also tried with a small test program: #include <libnm_glib.h> static void cb (libnm_glib_ctx *ctx, gpointer data) { g_print ("State changed: %d\n", libnm_glib_get_network_state (ctx)); } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { GMainLoop *loop; libnm_glib_ctx *ctx; g_type_init (); ctx = libnm_glib_init (); libnm_glib_register_callback (ctx, cb, NULL, NULL); loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, FALSE); g_main_loop_run (loop); return 0; } and it works exactly as I would expect it to work. -- 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.

I can only confirm that I have not seen the issue again and my updates config is set to "no updates". I have installed multiple updates since that time. I'm unsure as to whether I originally had the update configed to "install all updates". The pk-backend-zypp log is still getting hammered with log messages every ~5 minutes with approximately 10MB of text every 22 hours. This is beyond ridiculous. <sigh> -- 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.
