Debian 8 on HP ProLiant freezes: task * blocked for more than 120 seconds
Hi! Recently I have installed Debian 8 (jessie) on a HP ProLiant DL360 G4 server (2 x Xeon 3 GHz; RAM 3 GiB ECC DDR 333 MHz; HP Smart Array 6i; RAID1 72 GB with 2 x 72 GB SCSI Ultra 320 HDD). For some reasons upgrade to Debian 9 is not an option at the moment. $ uname -a Linux myserver 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2+deb8u2 (2017-06-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux After a day or two of uptime the system freezes (network services not working, users cannot login). On the console I can see kernel messages as the following: INFO: task jbd2/cciss!c0d0:297 blocked for more than 120 seconds Not tainted 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. INFO: task jbd2/cciss!c0d0:301 blocked for more than 120 seconds Not tainted 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. The messages repeat a couple of times every 120 sec. Sometimes the messages also mention other tasks, e.g. kworker, apache2. As suggested on https://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/09/22/linux-kernel-panic-issue-fix-hung_task_timeout_secs-blocked-120-seconds-problem/ I tried to add the following in /etc/sysctl.conf vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5 vm.dirty_ratio = 10 but to no avail. Memory test did not find any problem with RAM. Testing partitions with "fsck.ext2 -f -cc" did not show any problems either. I tried to install newer kernel from jessie-backports: $ sudo apt install -t jessie-backports linux-image-amd64 ... The following extra packages will be installed: linux-base linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 ... but then booting stops at "Loading initial ramdisk". Could someone give any advice on this issue, please? -- rpr.

Just to make sure I hadn't messed up the plugin I commented-out the 'set ts=4' that I had appended to the plugin - no change in its behavior :( Frank, try this: $ locate python.vim /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/python.vim /usr/share/vim/vim74/indent/python.vim /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/python.vim I'd say your issue is caused by the fact that all that three scripts are loaded when you edit python files. According to vim help (see :help filetypes) the filetype plugin indent on command that you have enabled in /etc/vim/vimrc actually means the following: - vim tries to detect the type of the file that is edited (e.g. let's suppose the file type is my_file_type) - vim loads the appropriate plugin script: /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/my_file_type.vim - vim loads the appropriate indent script: /usr/share/vim/vim74/indent/my_file_type.vim Moreover, if the syntax highlighting is enabled in vim (:syntax on) then the appropriate syntax script is also loaded: /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/my_file_type.vim In /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/python.vim I see the following line: setlocal expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 tabstop=8 So, it seems that /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/python.vim is loaded last and overrides tabstop value set by other scripts. --rpr. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: apt-get remove/purge with regex gives unexpected result

It that expression ? means any single character. The second command shows that ^libre?f?ice.* is treated as a regular expression which didn't match the said packages because in regular expressions an atom followed by '?' matches a sequence of 0 or 1 matches of the atom. I see a bug in the execution of the first command: it reports Note, selecting 'libreoffice.org-calc' for regex 'libre?f?ice.*' but actually it should report Note, selecting 'libreoffice.org-calc' for glob expression 'libre?f?ice.*' Definitely, apt-get manpage should be improved to clarify the usage of glob expressions by default. If I were the developer of apt-get I would provide an option for changing the default treatment of pkg arguments as glob expressions to regular expressions. It would prevent issues with regular expressions that can be also valid glob expressions (as shown in my initial post). -- rpr. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

apt-get remove/purge with regex gives unexpected result
On an installation of Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 with subsequent updates
from testing (Linux 3.12.9-1 amd64) I noticed a strange output while
running apt-get remove or apt-get purge in order to remove/purge
libreoffice packages.
Here are the libreoffice packages:
$ dpkg-query -l 'libreoffice*' | tail -n +6 | gawk '{print $1,$2,$3}'

In order to uninstall all libreoffice packages I ran the following
apt-get command with a simple regular expression:
$ sudo apt-get remove 'libreoffice.*'
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libreoffice.org-calc' for regex 'libreoffice.*'
Note, selecting 'libreoffice.org-writer' for regex 'libreoffice.*'
Package 'libreoffice.org-calc' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'libreoffice.org-writer' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I'd say this output is unexpected because apt-get does not select
installed libreoffice packages listed by dpkg-query.
But if the regular expression starts with ^ I get the expected result:
$ sudo apt-get remove '^libreoffice.*'

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
fonts-lyx fonts-opensymbol libboost-date-time1.54.0 libboost-system1.54.0

liborcus-0.6-0 libvisio-0.0-0 libwps-0.2-2 lp-solve uno-libs3 ure
xfonts-mathml
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libreoffice libreoffice-base libreoffice-base-core libreoffice-calc
libreoffice-common libreoffice-core libreoffice-draw libreoffice-emailmerge
libreoffice-impress libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-math
libreoffice-report-builder-bin libreoffice-style-galaxy
libreoffice-style-tango libreoffice-writer python3-uno
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 16 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 287 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
After reading apt-get(8) and regex(7) manpages I'd say that using
apt-get with 'libreoffice.*' or '^libreoffice.*' should give the same
result.

Some of us actually do Shyamal use threaded mail/news readers ;-) Shyamal When you installed your kernel, it was probably called Shyamal something like kernel-image-2.4.18-k7 (for example, this Shyamal specific name is the one I am using). The architecture Shyamal specific extension -k7 may or may not be there, but the Shyamal initrd image has the same naming convention as the kernel Shyamal deb file name. The initrd file for the image above is Shyamal /boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-k7. Shyamal Look in the /boot directory, and use the correct name in Shyamal /etc/lilo.conf. Doh! I'm giving bad advice. *Slap*. These Debian boxen are *so* stable it's been months since I installed a kernel ;-) While what I said earlier is correct, the standard Debian install will link /initrd.img (not the .img at the end) to the correct initrd image in /boot. So you should check that /initrd.img is a link to a file in /boot/ that is probably named something like /boot/initrd.img-2.4.19-586tsc or whatever. Unless you messed with lilo.conf or your kernel-image .deb is broken, this should have actually worked the first time. Perhaps you just missed the .img at the end? Cheers!
