[opensuse] kdebase3-3.5.7-87.5 Update on x86-64 -- Normal user Login Freeze, root - OK
Listmates, I updated to the latest KDE last night from openSuSE BuildService on a x86-64 machine via yast and seem to have picked up a bug doing it. Graphics card is a ATI Radeon 9600 utilizing the 8.471-1 fglrx driver build. All worked fine before the update. After the update, normal users can no longer start KDE, but root can start KDE just fine. For a normal user, KDE startup first appears to be working fine. The splash screen appears with the little rotating circle and there is hard drive activity. However, KDE startup freezes when the first splash screen (with the animation) is replaced by the next green splash screen (no animation). This isn't a hard lockup because the mouse pointer still responds and ctrl+alt+backspace returns you to the kdm login. All other desktops continue to work fine (xfce4, etc..) so this appears to be a pure KDE issue. The Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old show the following differences: 14c14 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat May 10 09:43:20 2008 ---

Is anyone else seeing this with the new KDE 3 updates? Does the problem look obvious to anyone? I'll keep investigating. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I met the same trouble in openSUSE 10.3 i386 environment on my laptop. The problem was triggered by updating "kdelibs3*" packages to version 3.5.7-72.9 or later and I think it is related to the issue CVE-2008-1671: start_kdeinit in KDE 3.5.5 through 3.5.9, when installed setuid root, allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via "user-influenceable input" (probably command-line arguments) that cause start_kdeinit to send SIGUSR1 signals to other processes. http://www.suse.de/~meissner/cve/CVE-2008-1671.html I downgraded "kdelibs3*" packages to version 3.5.7-72.6, which I found in the "Updates" repository, and the problem isn't reproduced. On the other hand, I have other desktops, on which I installed openSUSE 10.3 i386 and x86_64, and in those environments, the problem isn't reproduced by updating "kdelibs3*" packages to version 3.5.7-72.9 though. So, the problem was provided not only by updating "kdelibs3*" packages, but also by other conditions, which is not specified yet. -- □●□ _/_/_/ To be Happy! _/_/_/ □□● _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto _/_/ ●●● _/ helios_reds@gmx.net _/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Satoru. I'm glad to know that I'm not going crazy. I will try and downgrade and see if I can cure this weird problem. Have a good evening. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Listmates, If you find yourself in the situation where only root can start kde on 10.3 x86-64 after update from kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.6 to kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.9, the force install of the kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.6 will correct the problem. No fix yet, but it is being worked. For more information See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=391748. Workaround: From http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3, download or otherwise force install the following kdelibs3 packages: kdelibs3-32bit-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-arts-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-default-style-32bit-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-default-style-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-devel-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-doc-3.5.7-72.6.x86_64.rpm An rpm -Uvh --force kdelibs3*.rpm fixed the issue for me. As Satoru indicated, this affects some 10.3 x86-64 installs and not others. The only hint is a permission on an /opt/....dhcp.. file that SuSEConfig resets to 4755 on the force install. I have no idea if that is the problem, but that was the only thing remarkable during the downgrade. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Are you sure on the version of your package mentioned above? 3.5.7 seems quite old for 10.3. Mine is 3.5.9, i.e. joe@jmorris:~> rpm -q kdelibs3 kdelibs3-3.5.9-61.2 -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's what I have on suse 10.3 86 64 too 3.5.7-72.9. I downloaded and installed off the official mirror 2 weeks ago. None of the kde4 stuff I've used so far that is in it or gets downloaded into it by default has stood up either so far. Even the "task bar" ie the whole thing vanished into outer space after 2 days. Khexedit does the same thing too when I scroll to the end of a file. Keyboard input also gets amazingly slow at times. 4gig ram, 2.2gig core 2 duo etc. I'm not sure if this is down to lack of 64bit support or a general 10.3 problem. No luck in generating autoconf.h or it's alternative either. John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
