[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.

The log does not show anything. Either attach the right logs or meanwhile closing as WORKSFORME
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. This is with "Software Updates" configured to: "Never, Nothing, Weekly". -- 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.

Which updater applet do you use? kupdateapplet, KPackageKit or gnome-packagekit (gpk-update-viewer)? Could you please attach a screenshot of the config dialo
Gnome. Not sure which one. Shot is coming however be aware that I have changed settings since then. Not precisely sure what they were back then. -- 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.

hmmm, would you mind doing the following in a terminal
1. kill all gpk-* processes - "sudo killall gpk-update-icon" 2. kill the daemon - "sudo killall packagekitd" 3. clear the logs - "sudo rm -rf /var/log/pk_backend*" 4. run updater verbose - "gpk-update-icon -v > gpk_updater.log"
5. just let it run quietly (ie don't install things or ...) for ~ hour and send the gpk_updater.log and the new pk_backend_zypp

Don't run the updater as root - all the commands above that need root are run with sudo Thanks.

Well I had the same problem as described here. Furthermore the update icon spammed the desktop with notifications. I observed (on three different physical machines) that this only happens if you choose "install all updates automatically" in the update settings. Only installing security or no updates at all prevents this problem. Can anybody confirm?
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.
