[rhn-users] RE: up2date segmentation faults

Wed May 19 16:18:54 UTC 2004

Regarding the Segmentation faults, I have seen that as well. It was
caused by a corrupt file in the spool directory /var/spool/up2date

After emptying it, up2date started working again.

Hope this helps - Ronald

Hello again,

I have redhat enterprise level workstation 3.0.
It is shipped with kernel 2.4.21-4.  I updated
the kernel to 2.4.22.  However I could not start
X.  I tried to run redhat-config-xfree86 and
got the message

"
GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 135 (): error 'No such
process' during 'pthread_getschedparam (pthread_self(), &policy,
&sched)' aborting...
/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/redhat-config-xfree86: line 2:  1116
Segmentation fault      python2.2
/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xconf.py
$@
"

If I rebooted the system using kernel 2.4.21-4
then redhat-config-xfree86 worked fine.

Many thanks for any help!

- Nguyen

Hello,

I have RedHat Enterprise Work Station 3.0, shipped with
kernel 2.4.21-4.  I downloaded kdb versions 4.3-2.4.21
and 4.3-2.4.22.  I was not able to patch the kernel with
either version of kdb.  The reported errors had to do
with some of the patch already applied to some of the files.
I tried to reverse the patch or ignore the error to no
avail.

Thanks for any info.

- Nguyen

tools for kernel hacking.

I ran line command "up2date -u" on one of our remote
servers after emptying pkgskiplist in order to update
all packages including kernel from RedHat network.
After updates, pciutils package is still in the
categery of 'The Following Packages were marked to be
skipped by your configuration'. But in the
configuration, pkgskiplist is empty. Could someone
tell me why pciutils package is still marked to be
skipped and how to update it remotely using line
command ?  We are using RedHat Linux 2.1 AS
(2.4.9-e.27enterprise) and try to update it to 2.4.9-e.40enterprise.

Thanks !

QHu

There's another option which prevents packages from being upgraded,
which I believe is on by default:

It's called noReplaceConfig if you run up2date-nox --configure, or in
the GUI version it's under the Retrieval/Installation tab as "Do not
upgrade packages when configuration file has been modified"

Hello,

I'm reposting this from the Taroon list as nobody was able to help.
Maybe someone here can help?

=============================
I have four currently deployed RHEL 3 ES boxes.  When the Update 2 RPMs
were added to the EL 3 channel, I had all my boxes apply errata and
update.

First, none of them applied the updates after I added them to the update
queue (and waited at least a day).  I had to run rhn_update as root by
hand on every box for the update processing to begin.  Then, only 2 of
the boxes started updates.  I had to continually run it as the updating
kept failing with timeouts.

For the other two, I constantly get seg faults.  I tried rebuilding the
RPM database.  I tried deleting the profiles.  I tried only applying one
errata at a time.  Nothing works and I keep getting...

[pete at box pete]$ sudo /usr/sbin/rhn_check
errata.update ([2102],)
Segmentation fault

Any suggestions on how to get this working?
=============================

Thanks,
pete

My up2date app is not working.  I am using Redhat Enterprise WS 3.  I 
have about 128 updates to do but I can't do them because the up2date app

just freezes.

It says it's fetching the RPM headers and it just stops when fetching 
the Cyrus package.  Nothing happens after that and I have to kill the
app.

I do the latest version of the up2date.

Any suggestions?
