baselayout-2 issues

Insanity5902 · Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2008 8:12 pm Post subject: baselayout-2 issues

I've been using baselayout to for a while, at least 3 or 4 months. I haven't had any issues with it until last night.

I didn't upgrade anything big, I think it was just NetworkManager , HAL and dependencies of those, and then when I tried to restart hald I get a

/sbin/runscript is a wrapper that is used to run all init scripts w/baselayout, so that would explain why it crashed all the time (the wrapper even gets run if you only want to query a service's status. really, all the time.).

since you mentioned baselayout-2 as opposed to openrc, did you try using uberlord's "openrc" overlay in layman? baselayout-2 (the parts that make it tick, anyway) got relicenced to BSD and renamed to openrc, and there's a special overlay just for that. you could try using ebuilds off there and see if that fixes your issue.

yeah, i knew about runscript, which is why i knew it was baselayout-2's issue.

I knew it was renamed to openrc, but I haven't given them a try, i was using rc6 of baselayout-2 which seemed to be pretty recent if I remember correctly. I 'll give the openrc tree a look when I have some free time.

I strongly suggest that you report the problem on bugzilla. This sounds like a blocker for baselayout-2 stabilization which would be a pity since baselayout-2 is waiting for stabilization too long anyway. Too bad that you already downgraded so perhaps the problem cannot be reproduced anymore...

This sounds quite nasty!
However, a lot of work has gone into OpenRC since baselayout-2.0.0_rc6 and there's a good chance this issue has already been fixed.
So please test with that, and see if you can provide a decent backtrace to so we can see where it's blowing up.

I'll monitor this thread for replies, but it's probably easier and quicker to catch me on irc.freenode.net #gentoo-base

MV :: i had no choice, I have to use my laptop for work, even after multiple re-compiles I still had the problem.

Seren :: You should still be able to get the system up, remount the drives rw, and then emerge baselayout-1

Uberlord :: I will give the new openrc a try on sunday hopefully. It was weird as it just all the suden broke. I ran an strace on it, but sadly didn't save it. But it would display the status of the service, then just fail right after that. I'll keep you updated.

I'm currently having the same issue, not sure what caused it

I don't currently have debuggers installed plus all my binarys are striped.

I can give you a list of all the packages that were updated on my system before it happened, might give a clue

Slightly different with the latest openrc

Same errors but they cycle a few times on screen before going to a login screen, but once at the login screen I can't logon

I'm going to try recompiling ncurses and e2fsutils

How do you remount rw from interactive mode?

I fixed an off-by-one error last night when an init script was called with $PATH unset. This only seems to affect udev triggering bluetooth, but just to let y'all know.

Where will this fix show up about? Baselayout, openrc or the bluez-utils packages?

Looking forward to getting away from baselayout-1 again

Cheers

It's already in openrc - re-emerge it to get it.

backtrace: http://rafb.net/p/v2N86t16.html

edit: so it was splashutils fault. i didn't have it enabled but I needed to uninstall splashutils and then everything worked peachy keen. 23s bootchart hooray!

FireBurn · Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 5:55 pm Post subject:

Neither of these fix it for me (either using the latest openrc or uninstalling splashutils)

Could you post a backtrace?

I have been having similar problems with the newest openrc/baselayout, which I tracked down to the rc_parallel="YES" flag. I tried getting a backtrace of the crash, but it seems to only trigger when I am not in maintenance (console) mode. I could start all the services by hand and get to X in maintenance mode, which led me to suspect that the parallel loading was somehow messing up. Getting out of the console back to the interactive mode, the system would always stop at "Caching service dependencies" (which I'm guessing is related to device-mapper). A Ctrl-C would only print out something like what has already been posted here, but since the system was dead (sometimes a hard reboot was needed) I couldn't record the error. I'll try tomorrow to see if there's any way I can duplicate the error inside gdb.

I have / on reiser4 and when I set baselayout to run in parallel mode, it hangs at "Remounting root filesystem read-write...". In serial mode remounting works.

Btw, after each reemerge openrc adds netmount to default runlevel even if it wasn't there before recompilation.
