Bugzilla – Bug 250502
yast2 components lock up and possibly cause damage
Last modified: 2007-03-05 12:25:05 UTC
the following yast2 components lock up: hardware -> graphics card and monitor system -> powertweak system -> system settings this has been confirmed on my computer over three separate installations. the graphics card and monitor applet appear to corrupt a file or setting somewhere, possibly because my video card is currently undetected ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249802 ). if i try to run the graphics card and monitor applet, it locks up, i have to kill it or reboot to get rid of it, and on the next boot the boot process stops complaining about a wrong video mode with a 30 second timeout. the lockups... some make it to 50% or 66% progress and then just hang there. i've tried letting them go for awhile, in some cases up to a full hour. they just never load for me.
Please attach your yast logs. http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST

unable to get powertweak to lockup this time. in my past 2 installs, the first time i ran powertweak i selected powertweak-extras on the 1st run. this time i did not. powertweak ran fine, so i added powertweak-extras manually from my source cd. powertweak still ran fine. i will mess with it more later today.

- could you call sax2 ? - what are the contents of /var/log/SaX.log ?
sax2 always snaps to tty1, does nothing, then snaps back to x on tty7 i think. linux-ext3:/home/sgt-d # sax2 SaX: initializing please wait... SaX: your current configuration will not be read in SaX: access to your display has been granted SaX: something went wrong while X was called with -probeonly SaX: try to call 'sax2 -p' and select a single device ? abort log attached.

I assume the X-Server crashed while called with -probeonly if you don't mind call the following command as root: sysp -s xstuff try to fetch the /var/log/Xorg.99.log file
sax2: x didn't really crash, my session was still running, including kdetv. it just snapped back and forth without doing anything else. sysp -s xstuff: Segmentation fault linux-ext3:/home/sgt-d # linux-ext3:/home/sgt-d # linux-ext3:/home/sgt-d # (repeating). log will follow.
