Bug#398240: splashy freeze on shutdown.

2007-01-28 Thread Fabrice Lorrain

Hello,

Splashy didn't freeze my box for the last 3 weeks, no idea what fixed 
the problem... aptitude upgrade magic power.


As far as I'm concerned, this bug can be closed.

On a side not, any reason why this bug (#398240) doesn't show up in 
reportbug ? It's clearly visible in the web interface at bugs.debian.org.

Hello,

I had trouble on halt/shutdown on my box for several days. I track it
done on splashy.

No enabling splashy with by ex. ENABLE=0 in /etc/default/splashy is
fine.

When splashy is enable, the box won't shutdown anymore, it just stays
frozen in different state of graphic screen (got a blue screen
yesterday).

This freeze seems to happen earlier since my upgrade to the last debian
kernel.

I don't have any idea how to dig in this, but I'm willing to follow
instructions.

Hello Fabrice,



Hello Luis


What happens at boot? Splashy works fine?


Yep, I didn't get any pb at boot time (little pengin  progress bar
are show up ok)


What happens when you run Splashy by hand: /sbin/splashy test
(Press ESC to exit)


Will try tonight.


Are you using vesafb? cat /proc/fb; cat /proc/cmdline


I'm using nvidiafb :
$ cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/hda2 ro console=tty0
$ cat /proc/fb
0 NV18


I don't know what else could cause this.


Bad interraction between Xorg  splasy on video RAM ??

Extract from my xorg.conf :

Section Device
Identifier  Nvidia GeForce4 MX
#Driver fbdev
Driver  nv
BusID   PCI:1:5:0
#Option UseFBDev  true
Option  UseFBDev  false
EndSection


After yesterday night sudo halt, I got stuck again.
The box was still responsive to ping.
nmap show up ssh + a bunch of rpc services (I'm using nfs on this
computer).
but ssh -v from another computer didn't get any answer.


 You are not running Splashy
from initramfs right? cat /etc/default/splashy | grep INITRAMFS


No.
$ cat /etc/default/splashy | grep RAMFS
ENABLE_INITRAMFS=0

 If you are, please disable that as this is very experimental.

ENABLE_INITRAMFS=0 will disable it. Then you need to run:
update-initarmfs -u

Last, you can purge Splashy 0.1.8 and install the latest release,
Splashy 0.2.1. I uploaded packages to
http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/debian/incoming. I'm waiting for
Otavio to upload them to Sid (pending verification of course).


Will try tonight.
