[yast-devel] New 'gdb' section in the YaST bug reporting howto
by Ladislav Slezak 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi all, I just have added a new section into the YaST bug reporting howto (http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST). There is a new section 1.13 which describes how to start Yast in gdb debugger. This is usually needed when Yast crashes (segfault). So if you need a backtrace for debugging you can use the link to this section: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST#How_can_I_start_YaST_in_debugger_.28gdb.29… If you find a bug or you have any improvement then just edit the page, it's a wiki.

[yast-devel] Problems with autoyast from sles10 to sles10 sp1....
by Roberto Angelino 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Yast Developers, My customer took their sles10 GA autoyast which was working great and tried it on sles10 sp1. It's failing. I'm attaching a tarred gzip of yast logs and contro.xml file. Here is customer writeup: The problem I am seeing is with respect to the disk partitioning. During the auto install, I get the error "Error with partition plan". The control files I am using are no different from those I used with our SLES 10 SP0 media, so I am thinking there are some changes to autoyast that are causing this. I double checked the online documentation but couldn't find anything that might cause this. Interestingly enough, if I initialize the disk via the RAID BIOS, the install will go through. However, if I have a service partition installed, it will fail. The control file we use asks autoyast to initialize the disks, effectively destroying the partition table, so I am not sure why this would be a problem. Again, this worked fine in SLES 10 SP0. I have included a zip file with our logs and control files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at the y2log file and the only errors I see are these: 2007-09-28 16:06:34 <3> linux(3121) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 error: cannot open Packa ges index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) 2007-09-28 16:06:34 <3> linux(3121) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 error: cannot open Packa ges database in /var/lib/rpm -robert

[yast-devel] Huge window during package install
by Boyd Timothy 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I'm trying to duplicate the following bug so I might be able to fix it: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309049 Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce it on my computer. Someone yesterday in #opensuse-gnome mentioned that they had seen it a few times but not always. In the times they saw it, there was no window decoration around the window. In other words, there was no window decoration (title bar, etc.). Does anyone know of a case where yast will create a window without window frames? Thanks for any direction someone may have! -Boyd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org
