[Bug 216043] New: startx doesn't always finish exiting
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216043 Summary: startx doesn't always finish exiting Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@ij.net QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com This dates back to 10.0 and continued through 10.1 and remains present in 10.2 beta 1. It occurs using both i81x and mga video drivers on multiple systems. It does not occur every time, but does do it quite often, maybe 50% of the time. To reproduce: 1-boot to runlevel 3 (alternatively, from runlevel 5 drop to runlevel 3) 2-login on any tty 3-startx 4-exit X session Actual results: 1-error messages on tty from which startx was run: waiting for X server to shut down kded: Fatal IO error: client killed kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed klauncher: Exiting on signal 15 klauncher: Fatal IO error: client killed 2-ps -A shows tee still running on tty from which startx was run Expected results: 1-login prompt waiting for next command -- 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.

Therefore I'll not remove that. IMHO the KDE session should close a session, this and only this will cause that the stdin file descriptor of tee will be closed and then only then tee does an exit. -- 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=216043 ------- Comment #8 from eich@novell.com 2007-05-14 02:12 MST ------- The session is only closed when xinit returns ie. when both xinitrc and xserverrc have terminated. xinitrc - unless hacked - will do an exec $WINDOWMANAGER (like xserverrc does an exec <Xserver>). Thus if the application that's WINDOWMANAGER in KDE doesn't exit startx will be dangling. Ctrl-C isn't the solution as startx performs some auth cleanups before exiting and these aren't done when the program is simply killed. -- 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=216043 ------- Comment #10 from mrmazda@ij.net 2007-05-14 08:06 MST ------- The reproduction scenario in comment 0 seemed at the time the simplest way to describe how to produce the problem. The actual reason I use startx is that I haven't been able to figure out any other way to get e.g. 1600x1200x120DPIx16bpp by default (on :0) via KDM and e.g. 1280x960x96DPIx24bpp by default on :1 through KDE. It seems KDM ignores $XORGCONFIG (alternate user specific xorg.conf file set in .profile or .bashrc or .bash_profile or .dmrc or .kderc) to be used for different X sessions. Current Mandriva Cooker always exits 'startx -- :1' properly. -- 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=216043 ------- Comment #11 from werner@novell.com 2007-05-14 08:47 MST ------- IMHO the variable `XORGCONFIG' is not exported in all XDM's due security risks. Also an environment variable does not make sence in this case because the X serve is already up and running before any user script is set up, this would require an X server restart or at least a reset triggered with the environment of a user open a security risk. The allowed environment of e.g. XDM is well defined and described in the manual page of xdm(1). Don't know why Mandriva allows this. Beside this lines like 0: local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -config xorg-large.conf 1: local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -config xorg-small.conf in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers could help todo such things. -- 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.

0: local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -config xorg-large.conf 1: local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -config xorg-small.conf
in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers could help todo such things.
AFAIK, that config would only be helpful if user-large is always on 0: first and user-small is always on 1: after user-large but before user-medium on :2. The per user config is what I'm after, even though the way I wrote comment 10 doesn't so indicate. -- 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=216043 ------- Comment #13 from mhopf@novell.com 2007-05-14 11:35 MST ------- The right solution for per-user configs would be to include a xrandr -s 1280x1024 or so in your .xinitrc. That will work with xdm/kdm/gdm as well. Though you cannot change the framebuffer depth with randr yet. With current graphics hardware this is a non-issue, though. Alternatively, when using startx you can create your own .xserverrc, in which you start X with -xf86config xorg-small.conf. Users can choose between configs that are located in /etc/X11, but not in arbitrary paths. Still, the original bug remains. -- 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.

To assist this could you please run 'pstree' from a second text console when the shutdown startx still hangs and post the output (just the processes that are linked to startx) here. This will indicate which application is 'hanging'. -- 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.

With current graphics hardware this is a non-issue, though.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. I use mostly older hardware. A large part of what I do involves testing browsers and web pages at particular (and arbitrary as relates to the hardware I'm using) combinations of X DPI and resolution. I use xorg.conf options like 'Virtual ... ...', 'Option "NoDDC"' and 'Displaysize ... ...' to accomplish this. Anyway, I'll be pursuing your suggestions as time permits. Thanks.

With startx session hung, I redirected the output of pstree to a file. It does not contain the word startx. It's not apparent to me what if anything in it might be of use other than maybe this one line: |-login---bash---tee -- 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.

And it is really the same problem, with artsd staying running, despite the 'sound server terminated' in your output?
I don't think artsd has anything to do with anything. Startx came from tty3, which shows tee still running. Any clues here? -- 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.
