Attachments:	yast2 logs for EFIKA hang

Description peter czanik 2007-09-07 07:31:33 UTC

Installation on EFIKA PPC hangs early during installation. The last message on screen is:
"
reading repository 'openSUSE-FACTORY 10.3' cache
"

CPU usage is zero, strace shows, that:

"
read(7,
"

Where 7 belongs /dev/console

The only possibility here is to abort installation.

This was from a beta3 factory snapshot, and the problem is the same in beta3 (hang at the same time, last lines in yast2 logs are the same).

Comment 2 peter czanik 2007-09-07 16:13:41 UTC

The above installation was carried out using the 'textonly=1' linuxrc parameter, as this is a low end machine. The hang is always reproducible on a text console.

Using VNC for installation (vnc=1 vncpassword=xxxxxxxxxx) works fine, so it's a problem of the text based interface.

the UI and the y2log get out of sync somehow.
UI via serial console shows still the 'Reading repository 'openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3' cache', while the y2log already has the timezone stuff.

Comment 4 Olaf Hering 2007-09-10 09:48:59 UTC

textmode=1 is all it takes

Comment 6 Gabriele Mohr 2007-09-11 09:47:52 UTC

The bug is reproducable also on i386. At the and of y2log there are a lot of errors about: No widget with `id( <some widget> ).
In yast2-ncurses changelog I found that Feature #120292, "UI as a namespace callable from yast2-*-bindings" was implemented recently. Martin, could you please check whether this could have something to do with this bug.

Comment 7 Olaf Hering 2007-09-11 11:06:31 UTC

beta1 and beta2 were still ok.

Comment 8 Martin Vidner 2007-09-11 11:22:16 UTC

If Beta2 was OK then it is unrelated to the UI-as-namespace change.
