https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471179 Summary: starting jexec at boot blocks; makes suspend to disk fail, smpppd, cyrus-imapd and wwwoffle need to be started manually Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Java AssignedTo: bnc-team-java@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lists@majo.name QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5 I had a bunch of problems with Suse 11.1 which annoyed me without end. These were the symptoms: (All these things worked with 11.1 and then suddenly stopped working; so I suspect an update as source of the problem) - suspend to disk fails The log told about processes, which didn't freeze. (Suspend to RAM never worked on my board) - smpppd needed to be started by hand after each reboot Although it was enabled to be started on boot - /var/lock/SuSEfirewall2.booting was mentioned in a log and was still present minutes after booting and after loging in to KDE. - cyrus-imapd needed to be started manually after some reboots (but not all) - wwwoffle needed to be started manually after reboot All these things finally found one solution: "jexec" hangs on boot. (Switched back to the console 1 to see the "traffic light" from booting.) There Starting jexec.... was the last line and no success/fail behind. I disabled jexec in yast/system/runlevels, now all the listed symptoms are gone... What I still don't know, is what jexec is good for, but so far I saw no problems. So I feel much better off without it for the moment... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update 11.1 to current state (as of 25 Jan. 2009) 2. start system 3. check processes smpppd, wwwoffle and master (from cyrus imapd); try to suspend to disk Actual Results: smpppd, wwwoffle and master (from cyrus imapd) aren't started suspend to disk fails Expected Results: processes should be running, suspend to disk should be working. I found three bugs mentioning jexec, but they desribe different misbehaviour, which I didn't see: "Bug 461347 - mount problems" also suggests disabling jexec on boot. (Although I never had mount problems) "Bug 461786 - system cannot mount any additional file systems" is similar in this respect "Bug 463582 - Installation of JRE 6 update 12 breaks boot (binfmt_misc issue)" explicitely mentions JRE 6 update 12 and jexec together with binfmt_misc. binfmt_misc is mentioned in /etc/rc.d/jexec -- 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.
