[gentoo-user] Can not get Hotkeys to work after update to KDE4
After updating from KDE3.5 to KDE4.3.1 I can not get my Hotkeys to work. For example the following the following two Hotkeys 1) I want the PrintScreen button to start ksnapshot and I activated the Printscreen action in System Settings - Input Actions - Preset Action - Printscreen. 2) I want to start dolphin when I press Win+E, and have defined an action in System Settings - Input Actions - DJ - Dolphin when pressing Win+E But non of these works. Nothings happens when I press the keys. Here is some output from xev when pressing PrintScreen and then Win+E 8--- FocusOut event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4c1, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor FocusIn event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4c1, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4c1, root 0x253, subw 0x0, time 61843589, (-314,-249), root:(2064,523), state 0x10, keycode 107 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4c1, root 0x253, subw 0x0, time 61935723, (-315,-170), root:(2063,602), state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4c1, root 0x253, subw 0x0, time 61935987, (-315,-170), root:(2063,602), state 0x50, keycode 26 (keysym 0x65, e), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (65) e XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (65) e XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4c1, root 0x253, subw 0x0, time 61936067, (-315,-170), root:(2063,602), state 0x50, keycode 26 (keysym 0x65, e), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (65) e XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4c1, root 0x253, subw 0x0, time 61936123, (-315,-170), root:(2063,602), state 0x50, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False 8--- Any suggestions? -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***
[gentoo-user] Portage strangeness with imagemagick
Today when I do an update world on one of my serves I get the following:
8--
# emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y
world --pretend --tree
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy =x11-
libs/cairo-1.6[X].
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/cairo-1.8.8 (Change USE: +X)
(dependency required by x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6 [ebuild])
(dependency required by media-gfx/ufraw-0.15-r1 [ebuild])
(dependency required by media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.2.9 [ebuild])
(dependency required by www-apps/gallery-2.3 [ebuild])
(dependency required by world [argument])
8--
As this is a server I really do not want/need X on this host.
To see with which USE-flags my imagemagick is compiled I do:
8--
# eix media-gfx/imagemagick

Homepage:http://www.imagemagick.org/

8--
From this I see that my Imagemagick is installed with the following USE-flags:
bzip2 corefonts jbig jpeg perl png tiff xml zlib
and now for the strange part (as far as I know):
8--
# emerge --verbose --pretend media-gfx/imagemagick

8--
But:
8--
# USE=-* bzip2 corefonts jbig jpeg perl png tiff xml zlib emerge --verbose
--pretend media-gfx/imagemagick
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I can not see why it works if I first deletes all USE flags (-*) and the just
sets the USE flags I need again.

The only (but perfect) solution was to abandon Firefox-bin in favour of Firefox. The compilation took a minute only (since most functionality is in xulrunner, which I need anyway). In addition plugins are working (better) now since firefox-bin is a 32 bit application on a 64 bit machine which isn't ideal. Yes, the problem is the plugins - that is why I was forced to change to firefox-bin in the first place when I moved to AMD64 (some years ago).

[gentoo-user] Xinerama and Xrandr
I have been playing with my X-configuration this weekend and I can not really get it to work the way I like. My desktop box has two Nvidia cards installed with one monitor connected to each. On to of that I am running KDE (v 4.3.5 at the moment). # lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1) 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1) If I have Option Xinerama on in the ServerLayout section in xorg.conf then KDE uses both monitors (in Xinerama mode) but I can not use any Desktop effects as Compositing is not supported. Also a lot of GUI programs reports Xlib: extension RANDR missing on display :0.0. If I set Option Xinerama off in xorg.conf then KDE only runs on one of the monitors and the Desktop effects works great. And the other GUI's does not give me that Xlkib error message. But now the only way to start a GUI on the second Monitor is to prefix it with DISPLAY=:0.1 or use --display :0.1. Does someone have any suggestion how I can get the best of both worlds? i.e. Compositing KDE using both monitors. -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***

I have been playing with KVM (replacing VMware-Server) and I need to setup my network for the Guests like this: 8--- brctl addbr br-eth1 brctl addbr br-eth2 brctl addbr br-eth3 brctl setfd br-eth1 0 brctl setfd br-eth2 0 brctl setfd br-eth3 0 brctl sethello br-eth1 1 brctl sethello br-eth2 1 brctl sethello br-eth3 1 brctl stp br-eth1 off brctl stp br-eth2 off brctl stp br-eth3 off brctl addif br-eth1 eth1 brctl addif br-eth2 eth2 brctl addif br-eth3 eth3 tunctl -b -t qtap1 tunctl -b -t qtap2 tunctl -b -t qtap3 brctl addif br-eth1 qtap1 brctl addif br-eth2 qtap2 brctl addif br-eth3 qtap3 ifconfig qtap1 up 0.0.0.0 promisc ifconfig qtap2 up 0.0.0.0 promisc ifconfig qtap3 up 0.0.0.0 promisc ifconfig br-eth1 192.168.4.1/24 up ifconfig br-eth2 0.0.0.0 up ifconfig br-eth3 0.0.0.0 up ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0 up ifconfig eth3 0.0.0.0 up 8--- Today I do this manually before a start the KVM-Guests, but now I would like to have this (the network setup) done automatically with the normal init scripts. I could put everything in local but then some services on the Host (e.g. Bind) can not see all interfaces when started and has to be restarted again after local. What would be the correct syntax for /etc/conf.d/net for this setup (still at baselayout-1). Regards, -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***
[gentoo-user] replacement for pdftk
After a recent gcc upgrade (4.3.4 - 4.4.3-r2) on an amd64, pdftk won't compile anymore. Although I like the pdtk I'm looking for a replacement as pdft is no more maintained (last release November 28, 2006). Any suggestions for a good command line tool to manage PDFs like pdftk (split (burst) a PDF, combine two or more PDFs, Rotate PDFs and so on)? -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***
[gentoo-user] tbz2 flag
I have two Gentoo Hosts that are (should be) 100% equal except on the
following points:
a) Hostname
b) IP
c) One Host has FEATURES=fixpackages buildpkg while the other has
FEATURES=fixpackages
As far as I know I have no other differences between the systems (same USE
flags, same packages installed), but still I can see one difference:
For instance:
Host-A:
# eix -I portage-uti
[I] app-portage/portage-utils
Available versions: 0.2.1{tbz2} 0.3.1{tbz2} ~0.4 {static}
Installed versions: 0.3.1{tbz2}(20:46:47 06/10/10)(-static)
Homepage:http://www.gentoo.org/
Description: small and fast portage helper tools written in C
Host-B:
# eix -I portage-utils
[I] app-portage/portage-utils
Available versions: 0.2.1 0.3.1 ~0.4 {static}
Installed versions: 0.3.1(20:47:10 06/10/10)(-static)
Homepage:http://www.gentoo.org/
Description: small and fast portage helper tools written in C
As you can see on host-A there is a tbz2 flag but on host-B there is not
(portage-utils is just one example there are a lot more).
I have probably missed something easy, but I can not figure out how to enable
this flag on host-B.
Suggestions?

[gentoo-user] [OT] Problems with libvirt / qemu

[gentoo-user] [OT] PHP memory problem
I know this is Off-topic but I also know there are a lot of smart people
lurking on this list.
I have a PHP-script that does not run from a web-server but directly in a
shell. When I run it I get the following error:
# ./dj.php
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 104 bytes) in /usr/local/scripts/includes/dj.inc on line 79
Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes)
My scripts starts with:
#!/usr/bin/php
?php
ini_set('memory_limit', '4192M');
include dj.inc;
And in php.ini I have:
memory_limit = 1G ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
Why does PHP not honor my memory limits?
I have set 1GB in php.ini and 4192MB (I know that is more then 1GB) and the
scripts fails at 100663296 bytes (~ 96MB). I have also tried with other memory
settings but I always end up with with the failure at ~96MB. The host has
enough RAM (32GB) to support the script.
Any suggestions on how to solve the issue (short of rewriting the script in C
or C++)?

The use of 'G' as a unit was only recently added, in PHP 5.1.0. Try
using 'M' instead, and multiplying by 1024.
I would also suggest using a number under 4 gigabytes, as you risk
overflowing a 32-bit integer. Does '3072M' work?
Thanks, that was it. Changing 4G to 4192M in pnp.ini did solve the issue.

[gentoo-user] Diskless setup fails to mount /
I'm trying to setup a diskless configuration. This is what I have done so far:
torsson.dmj.nu (192.168.1.3) is the dhcp/tftp/NFSv4-server
abba.dmj.nu (192.168.1.14) is the diskless client
In /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf I have the following for the client (among other
things):
# PXE-Boot, abba
option option-150 code 150 = text ;
ddns-update-style none ;
host abba {
hardware ethernet 00:90:dc:07:6e:a7;
fixed-address 192.168.1.14;
filename /abba/boot/pxelinux.0;
}
And in pxelinux.cfg/default I have the following:
label Diskless Gentoo root in NFS
kernel bzImage
append root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp init=/bin/sh
nfsroot=192.168.1.3:/diskless/abba
The kernel (bzImage) loads OK but when it tries to mount the NFS-root I get the
following:
Root-NFS: Server returned error -13 while mounting /diskless/abba
And on the server I see this in syslog:
rpc.mountd[6772]: refused mount request from 192.168.1.14 for /diskless/abba
(/): not exported
This is how my filesystems are mounted ad exported:
torsson# grep diskless /etc/fstab
/dev/vg00/lvol11/var/diskless reiserfsnoatime
0 2
/var/diskless/abba /export/diskless/abba nonerw,bind 0 0
torsson# mount | grep diskless
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol11 on /var/diskless type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
/var/diskless/abba on /export/diskless/abba type none (rw,bind)
And this is a part of the /etc/exports
/export *(ro,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)
/export/diskless/abba
abba.dmj.nu(rw,nohide,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync)
I also have other FS exported like this e.g.:
torsson# grep dan /etc/fstab
/dev/vg00/lvol05/home/dan reiserfsnoatime 0 2
/home/dan/tmp /export/Queen/tmp nonerw,bind 0 0
torsson# mount | grep dan
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol05 on /home/dan type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
/home/dan/tmp on /export/Queen/tmp type none (rw,bind)
And in exports:
/export *(ro,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)
/export/Queen/tmp
queen.dmj.nu(rw,no_root_squash,nohide,no_subtree_check,async)
And this client can mount the export:
queen# grep torsson /etc/fstab
torsson.dmj.nu:/Queen/tmp /home/dan/tmp_torsson nfs4
proto=tcp,soft,intr 0 0
queen# mount | grep torsson
torsson.dmj.nu:/Queen/tmp on /home/dan/tmp_torsson type nfs4
(rw,proto=tcp,soft,intr,addr=192.168.1.3,clientaddr=192.168.1.11)
Any idea why the diskless client can not mount it's root-FS?

[gentoo-user] [OT] iSCSI target
Hi, I wanted to play a bit with iSCSI and wants to setup iSCSI target(s) on one of my servers. Now I find two iSCSI target software's in portage (sys- block/iscsitarget sys-block/open-iscsi). Does anyone out there any experience with either one of these? Pro/Cons? When looking at the web-sites open-iscsi seems dead, last update of web-site 2005 and latest release from July 2009. iscsitarget does not look much better - latest release July 2010. So, what are you using and are you happy with it? Regards, -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***

[gentoo-user] Nedd help with udev-rules.
Hi,
I need some help with writing udev-rules for capi.
After playing around some I decided to ask for help here as can't really get
it to work.
What I want ist the following:
/dev/capi20 68,0
/dev/capi/capi# 191,#
68,0 = Major 68, Minor 0
191,# = Major 191, Minor 0 untill 31
If I have no udev-rule I get the following:
/dev/capi 68,0
/dev/capi# 191,#
with 'ATTR{dev}=68:0, NAME=capi20 ' added I only get the following:
/dev/capi20 191,32
and with 'ATTR{dev}=191:[0-9]*, NAME=capi/capi%n ' the following:
/dev/capi/capi 68,0
/dev/capi/capi# 191,#
And with both 'ATTR{dev}=68:0, NAME=capi20 ' and 'ATTR{dev}=191:
[0-9]*, NAME=capi/capi%n ' this:
/dev/capi/capi 68,0
/dev/capi/capi# 191,#
(No change in comparison with only the 'ATTR{dev}=191:...' rule)
And if I change the order in the rules-file:
/dev/capi20 191,31
Can some udev-crack (or someone else) tell my what I am doing wrong?
Regards,

Hi again,
I found the problem (me). The correct syntax should be:
ATTR{dev}==68:0, NAME=capi20
ATTR{dev}==191:[0-9]*, NAME=capi/capi%n
Notice the '==' instead of '=' after ATTR{dev}.

[gentoo-user] KDE Upgrade (4.7.4 - 4.8.1) changes behavior of new tab button in Konsole
Yesterday I did the upgrade of KDE (4.7.4 - 4.8.1) on my stable workstation. Now the new tab button in Konsole opens a new tab with the _default_ profile instead of opeing a new tab with the _current_ profile like it did before. This is most annoying as I have one profile for each machine/user I manage and until now I could just click the new tab button and get a new window on the host that I am currently logged into. Is there any parameter to restore the old behavior or is this hard-coded (I really hope not or I will have to start looking for a new terminal emulator with tabs that work like I want it). -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***

[gentoo-user] Dual-monitor setup changed after update - Monitors half swapped
Hi, Yesterday I did an emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend as usual (about two weeks since doing the last one). During this upgrade a few X-related libs and programs got updated (list below). After this upgrade I have a strange problem with my dual-monitor setup - the monitors are half-swapped. Let me explain what I mean with half-swapped: I have two monitors setup on my system, acting as one big desktop (KDE by the way). On each monitor I have some icons and widgets (different icons and widgets on each monitor). Before when I moved my mouse to the right edge of the left monitor and it continued over to the left edge of the right monitor (as you normally wold would have it in a dual-monitor setup). After the upgrade it is like this: On each monitor the correct icons and widgets are there (the icons and widgets of my left monitor is still on the left monitor, and the same for the right one). BUT: Now I have to move my mouse to the left edge of the left monitor to have it to jump to the right edge of the right monitor. This is a little bit confusing to say the least. What I also have noticed is the the KDE-Pager shows the open windows on the wrong side of the desktop-icon.

Our goal indeed is to get rid of the SAN infrastructure as it is delicately to all kinds of failure with nearly zero fault tolerance. An example, you have an hicup or a power failure in your network. SAN is dead from nowon and must be reinitialized on the server. Simple NFS comes back up without any fuzz. Another, you boot your storage systems due to an os update or something like that. Your SAN will be dead. NFS will just go on as if nothing happened. We use netapp storage systems which are NAS and SAN capable. Another point is, that if you have a SAN lun, there is either no way to increase or decrease size on the fly, on cifs or nfs you can resize your share on the go. So if you do not have a _really_ good reason to use a fribre channel SAN, don't! Hello, I tend to disagree. A correctly designed SAN (using dual Fabric among other things) is a lot more stable and has a lot better performance than any NAS (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI) solution. One other thing that also needs to be correctly configured to have a stable SAN infrastructure is the servers on it (Multipathing, partition alignment, queue depth, ...) according to the storage vendors recommendation.

The systemd package entered the tree in June 2011, after more than a year in an overlay, and then it took more than two years to make it an official alternative to OpenRC.

So, again - why would you prefer switching distro's over merging /usr back into / and be done with it? The reason is the same I have posted before. I have / and /boot on regular partitions. Everything else is on LVM. I don't have / on LVM because it would require a init thingy. I don't have /boot on LVM because grub doesn't or didn't support it. I have since switched to grub2 so it may but still have the issue with / so no need redoing everything for that. Well, I don't see a *reason* to WANT to have /usr on a separate partition. I see only THE reason that you have it there NOW. Also, logically speaking, if the stated reason for not having / (or /boot) on separate LVM partitions is because it would require an init thingy, then why can't you simply add /usr to that reason? Again, I'm asking for why you WANT it on a separate LVM partition, not why it is there now. The way I see it, if y ou cannot provide a rational answer to that question, then there is no reason for you to use this as a reason to abandon gentoo, only a reason to merge /usr into /... Simple, I have never had to resize / or /boot before. I have had to resize /usr, /var and /home several times tho. THAT is the reason. For me, it doesn't matter if it is rational to YOU or not. I am the one doing things on my puter not you or anyone else. If the init thingy fails, that will be me staring at a error message, not you. I agree to 100% with you Dale. I have /usr on a separate LVM partition (I only have, as you, / and /boot on regular partitions) to be able to easily extend it (which I have been forced to do a few times).

Hi Dan,
Thank you very much! That is very helpful.
What if I want to change the behaviour of sysinit runlevel? Where
can I change it to another new runlevel for specific kernel version?
BTW, the services I want to disable is udev{,-mount} for kernel-2.16.31.
Sorry, I can not help you there.

Whenever kernel config options are provided like this, it would be nice if time was taken to provide the path to where they are found. I had to find the first one (CONFIG_FHANDLE) by: 1. grepping .config, seeing it wasn't enabled, 2. running make menuconfig and searching for 'FHANDLE', 3. seeing it is located in 'General setup', 4. scouring the General setup options, finding no 'FHANLDE' anywhere, 5. finding something in all lowercase named 'open by fhanlde syscalls', 6. enabling this option, saving the modified config, 7. confirming it is now enabled by grepping .config again Sheesh. Really? Would be nice if the news item had something like CONFIG_FHANDLE (General setup 'open by fhandle syscalls') and CONFIG_NET (still don't know which one this is??) Wackadoo...

The most likely reason the news item doesn't list the specific prompt text (or even the category) is that, across even sub release versions of the kernel those are prone to change (and, at times, drastically) while the actual CONFIG_name option tends to be fairly static through time once it exists (even when superseded by new toys, i.e. older IDE/ATA/ATAPI options vs newer PATA options).

It's running in "normal" RAM. And I think if it was something like that

I did an "emerge --oneshot sys-libs/glibc" and, voila, now it works.
Sorry for the waste of bandwidth.

[gentoo-user] Upcoming Apache 2.2 _> 2.4 upgrade
According to the news item from 2016-01-27 Apache 2.4 is soon about to be "stabilized". In portage we have to versions, 2.4.16 & 2.4.18, of Apache 2.4 available. Can someone say which one of those two that will be "stabilized"? Reason for my question is quite simple: I want to unmask that version on my development server to do some tests.

User running emerge is root.
This is what my /var/tmp/portage looks like (when no emerge is running)
-8<-
# find /var/tmp/portage/ -type d -exec ls -pald {} +
drwxrwxrwt 5 portage portage 4096 Mar 26 17:53 /var/tmp/portage//

drwxrwsr-x 2 rootportage 4096 Mar 26 17:51
/var/tmp/portage/.distcc/state/
-8<-
This looks the same as on my other systems with the exception of the
.distcc (as this is the only system using distcc).
The .distcc is automatically created when emerging and distcc is enabled.

[gentoo-user] Problems with g-cpan
I am having a interesting problem with g-cpan.
While trying to "emerge" the perl-module Nagios::Object using g-cpan
(g-cpan --debug --verbose --install Nagios::Object) I can see that
g-cpan downloads the correct version of Nagios::Object from CPAN:
8<-
In main::generatePackageInfo (/usr/bin/g-cpan:622):
$VAR1 = bless( {
'cpan' => {
'nagios::object' => {
'name' =>
'Nagios::Object',
'description' => 'No
description available',
'portage_name' =>
'Nagios-Object',
'version' => '47',
'portage_version' =>
'0.21.20',
'src_uri' =>
'D/DU/DUNCS/Nagios-Object-0.21.20.tar.gz'
}
},
'portage_bases' => {
'/usr/portage' => 1
},
'DEBUG' => undef,
'portage' => {
'nagios-object' => {},
'nagios::object' => {}
},
'packagelist' => [],
'modules' => {},
'sources' => '/usr/portage/distfiles',
'portage_categories' => [
'dev-perl',
'perl-core',
'perl-gcpan',
'dev-lang'
],
'cpan_reload' => undef
}, 'Gentoo' );
|CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.88)
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.064)
Checksum for
/var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCS/Nagios-Object-0.21.20.tar.gz
ok
CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v1.96)
8<-
Please note that version above says '47' and not 0.21.20, this is
consisten with CPAN
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Nagios-Object/lib/Nagios/Object.pm)
After downloading and unpacking the tar-file the "ebuild" is created:
8<-
* Create directory '/var/tmp/g-cpan/perl-gcpan/Nagios-Object'
* Create directory '/var/tmp/g-cpan/perl-gcpan/Nagios-Object/files'
* Generating ebuild for Nagios::Object
* Scanning /usr/portage for list-compare
* Scanning /usr/portage for test-exception
* Scanning /usr/portage for test-nowarnings
* Copying
/var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCS/Nagios-Object-0.21.20.tar.gz
to /usr/portage/distfiles
* Ebuild generated for Nagios-Object
8<-
BUT, when portage tries to emerge this "ebuild" it tries to download a
'47' version, which of-cause does not exist.
8<-
>>> Downloading

8<-
(in /usr/portage/distfiles/ there is a Nagios-Object-0.21.20.tar.gz file).
How can I convince g-cpan to use the 0.21.20 version and not '47'?
Or make g-cpan NOT to clean its temporarily created ebuild (so I can
modify it by hand)?
Regards.

[gentoo-user] shutdown -r now hangs in qemu-vm
Since updating app-emulation/libvirt and/or app-emulation/qemu (both
were updated at the same time) I have a problem executing "shutdown -r
now" in the vm ("shutdown -h now" works fine).
When I execute "shutdown -r now" in the vm the shutdown process runs
perfect until "Remounting root-filesystem readonly" and than it hangs
and I have to "Force Power Off" to reboot.
Any suggestion what could be wrong and what I can do to solve it?
