[Bug 219878] New: gnome panel keeps crashing
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219878 Summary: gnome panel keeps crashing Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: yast2-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com 10.2b2 default install with gnome on apple.suse.de during login, gnome keeps crashing. after further investigation, the default install on a 9G drive created a 3.4G root and a 4.6G home partition. After the install was done, 3.2G on the root partition were used. An user is not allowed to create files there. yast gave no obvious hint that the default partition proposal will have not enough space for the selected patterns. Maybe the partitioner should just not propose /home on drives smaller than 18G? -- 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.

Not only will you see bright red percentage bars for the partitions you fill up like that, you will also get pop-up warnings if you fill any partition over 90% and that remaining 10% are less than 400 MB. It is the user's choice to ignore that warning if he wants to override that. This behaviour is well tested. 3.2 out of 3.4 GB is too much. But still, if Gnome crashes in this situation, this is clearly a Gnome problem: 200 MB free disk space on the root partition should be plenty. -- 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.

Users had wanted that since mid-2000. This is the only way to reinstall without losing all data. And 9 GB are really plenty of hard disk space to have a separate /home partition. So the original intent of this report is INVALID: There clearly should be a separate /home partition for this particular case. If the root file system barely fits on the hard disk, this is another matter: I assume (didn't test it) that the partitioning proposal doesn't offer a /home partition in that case. I don't know how much free disk space for the root file system the current partitioning proposal reserves; it could probably be more. This part would be an ENHANCEMENT for yast2-storage. But still, if Gnome doesn't work with "only" 200 MB of free space in the root file system, this is clearly a Gnome bug. -- 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.

The size limits when YaST2 starts to suggest a separate /home is configurabe in control.xml. Values in control.xml are determined by PM not by me. I see no bug anywhere. -- 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=219878 ------- Comment #8 from fehr@novell.com 2006-11-13 11:51 MST ------- These variables are pretty well documented in /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-storage/config.xml.description of package yast2-storage-devel.rpm. I would suggest to increasing limit_try_home to 7G or 8G (this is 14G for SLED) and increasing root_base_size to 5G. But only chnage this for SL not for SLES/SLED. -- 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.
