However But localedef is run before rebooting, and so the problem is with the OLD kernel -- the one you're migrating from, not the one you're installing. The resolution is to arrange to upgrade the kernel and reboot before trying to run localedef. This could be done by either: (1) requiring a kernel patch update as a prerequisite to doing a dist-upgrade; or (2) deferring localedef until after a reboot if the currently running kernel is in the affected range. I'm not a packaging expert so I don't know which of these is more feasible, however I suspect the latter may be easier to accomplish as it wouldn't need back-patching of the dependency lists of older releases. -Martin PS: this bug may also be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231746 -- Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 249340] Re: Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef
I'd like to regretfully add that this bug is very much present in all these releases: 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10. Granted, it's not easily reproducible but it does affect a lot of users (regardless of one's linux know-how). The problem almost certainly lies in one of the localedef subroutines and is not bound to the underlying kernel (I have tried both downgrading the belocs-locale-bin package in 8.04 and updating it on a 7.04 release to no avail). Since this is in the gnu c lib it is understandably not an ubuntu maintained code. Alas, with ubuntu being the most wide spread distro among desktop users (feel free to correct me on this), it receives the most user feedback. Instead of pretty much rejecting the idea of trying to figure out where the code fails (for which I have to agree with you, if it's not reproducible there's no point to go out on a wild goose chase), I 'd like to offer an alternative. Localedef appears to check sth (most likely the contents of the folder /usr/lib/locale) and if it needs to install a new locale/variation combo it returns done if everything was executed properly or if nothing needs to be updated it returns up-to-date for each locale/variation already installed. In my case I almost always either get a segmentation fault or worse, the machine reboots. The proposal is simply this and on the condition that the files being installed are 100% generic and independent of any user/setup options (a condition I believe pretty much applies). Offer the contents of the /usr/lib/locale folder for the most popular (if not all) locales as a download (for each locale separately). In this fashion, if one was to copy these files to /usr/lib/locale and install/update a locale, localedef would consider the specific locale/variation to be up-to-date and proceed without causing any errors. And no, I haven't tried it but I'm pretty certain this workaround will work. At the very least please take this proposal into serious consideration. Being a proponent of free (but user-friendly) software I find myself questioning my decision to use open source code be that a java library or an OS. Too many times have I found myself trying to solve a non- trivial issue (and sometimes finding it impossible to come up with a decent workaround) , wasting a lot of time I could have devoted to more serious matters. This is an easy workaround for those few(?) of us unlucky to have been entangled.

I can't really regard this problem as having been fixed. I upgraded Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04, and had this problem. Of course, I did still have the old (..15) kernel installed, due to not having upgraded (nor booted, for that matter) this machine for many months), but the update system never gave any warning -- it simply hung my system.

Boot with -14 is not a good solution for me, because the installer FORCED ME to delete -14 and leave only -15 since for some reason installing Gutsy requires 62.5MiB free on boot (which I have as a separate partition with only 80MiB). Hopefully all my killall of all the locale related things did the trick and I will be able to reboot my system... But gosh, how did such a HUGE bug find it's way into 7.10 and stay open for so long? There should at least be an error message blocking proceeding when trying to update a -15 kernel 7.10 to 8.04 update. And why does the new kernel stuff suddenly need 62,5MiB of free space on boot?

@joe: Why? Once the upgrade is finished, you can use the latest kernel again. But if you insist on the -14 kernel to be used, check your /boot/grub/menu.lst - with the keyword default n (where n is a number) you can define which option should be automatically used (if user doesn't decide otherwise manually). Usually this is set to 0 to always boot the latest kernel by default. Count your kernel entries (check for the title keyword) starting by 0, and put the appropriate number to the default keyword.

Re: [Bug 249340] Re: Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef
Since Big Dave has already reinstalled, this is small consolation. First thing to know is that the entire file system was likely not corrupted. Second thing to know is that if you boot with a live CD, you can likely look at it, and almost certainly repair it. Third thing to know is that it's worth trying to search the net for a solution, even if you have to go to the local library to do it because your one and only PC is temporarily down. If you happen to have a dual boot Windows/Linux system and GRUB is corrupted so that you don't think you can't get into Windows, there are ways around that too. If you're interested in learning more about Linux, there are lots of resources on the net, including the IBM developerWorks tutorials for LPI certification (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/lpi/) which cover a lot of useful system administration material and a recent article Lazy Linux: 10 essential tricks for admins (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-10sysadtips/). These aren't the only resources (by far), I just happen to work for dW and wrote some of the LPI tutorials. Ian Shields jlms wrote: There was no reason for you to lose any data.

If you look at the history for this file:

You'll see that

was backported.
I think the backport is wrong. Let me explain why:
The first filemap_set_next_iovec() finds a {NULL, 0} iovec
Then if !segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS) (write is from userspace), the
variable bytes will be equal to 0 (because cur_iov-iov_len - iov_base == 0).
Then it will goto zero_length_segment
And here the patch changed the behaviour, before the test was = 0 so it
included the case where the iovec was empty, and then it finished by calling
filemap_set_next_iovec() which would advance from at least one iovec before
continuing.
Now it test for 0 so nothing will happen before the continue instruction.
Hence the infinite loop.

[Bug 249340] Re: Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef
I'm a bit surprised that noone else seems to be considering how to *fix* this problem. All I'm hearing are work-arounds for users, which is not really adequate. It's pretty clear that there's a kernel bug -- nothing else explains the unkillable processes problem (which I can personally vouch for using linux-image-2.6.22-15-generic). The only question is whether the kernel bug is new, or whether something changed in localedef so that it now triggers a bug that already existed. I earlier mentioned that I suspected that this was related to kernel bug #231746, which indicates that the problem is triggered by trying to write a zero-length segment to a file -- either a malformed descriptor for writev or a zero length for an ordinary write. However that bug report refers to linux-image-2.6.24-16-xen so I spent a few hours last night looking through the diffs between 2.6.22-14 and 2.6.22-15 to see if there was a similar problem there. Well that part of the kernel has had a bit of an overhaul between 2.6.22 and 2.6.24, and I didn't come up with anything definitive. I'll be looking at localedef when I get time.

I suspect that Martin Kealey probably is on to the real issue. @Martin Pitt: why are you only testing with -14 when the current Gutsy upgrades are at -15? @Alecz20: I finally managed to test on two systems. As you probably know, on slower low memory systems loading up a new Ubuntu, updating, and then upgrading is pretty much an all day job. I loaded up 2 freshly installed Gutsy's, fully updated them both to -15, and performed the upgrade on both; 1 at -14 and 1 at -15. The -14 worked and the -15 failed at the localedef. @Martin Kealey: which command/file did you use with localedef? I still have 2 Gutsy's left (w/-14 -15) and I'd also like to try to confirm. -- Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The strace output starts with: execve(/usr/bin/localedef-real, [/usr/bin/localedef-real, --no- archive, --magic=20051014, -i, en_NZ, -c, -f, UTF-8, en_NZ.UTF-8], [/* 42 vars */]) Adjust to suit the locales you actually have installed. (I moved /usr/bin/localedef to /usr/bin/localedef-real, and created a script in its place that started localedef-real under strace.

[Bug 249340] Re: Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef
Me too, twice. I've now seen this problem on two upgrades from Gutsy to Hardy. In both cases the Gutsy machines were updated to the latest kernel (2.3.22-15). Following the general advice to kill the locale generating processes (several times) to reach the end of the upgrade process, accepting the error messages and shutting down after the final message about the update aborting left me with machines that did boot ok and just required me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a to sucessfully generate the missing locales and ubuntu-minimal(?). The resulting installations now appear to be fine, but getting there was more stressful than it should have been... Happy to post finer details, install logs and so on if requested.

I have also had this problem (makes Gutsy - Hardy a pain), with exactly the same symptoms and solution. As it seems that the problem is well documented, and there is a work-around, why is this bug still marked Incomplete ? Is there any file one of us can add to this bug report to help reproduce it ?

Well... I suspect this will not get fixed in time. I don't know how much they fix stuff for older versions (e.g. Gutsy).

[Bug 249340] Re: Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef
I tried very hard to reproduce this. I did test gutsy-hardy upgrades with the following five methods: * gutsy chroot, partial upgrade to hardy's locales, libc6, and belocs-locales-bin * gutsy installation, partial upgrade * gutsy installation, full apt-get dist-upgrade * gutsy installation, full update-manager dist-upgrade, with 1 GB RAM and 256 MB RAM None of those reproduced the bug. So I'm afraid this is a race condition, or dependent on some other factors than configured locales, RAM size, etc. ** Changed in: langpack-locales (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete -- Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 249340] Re: Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef
Martin, when you say partial upgrade, full apt-get dist-upgrade, etc. are you talking about upgrading after switching to hardy's repositories, or getting up to date with the latest gutsy packages? As far as I can tell from my own experiences and the comments above, this bug only occurs when using the latest gutsy kernel (2.6.22-15). If you didn't already, I'd suggest trying: 1) Install gutsy (not just in a chroot, since you need to boot with its kernel) 2) Bring gutsy fully up-to-date with an apt-get dist-upgrade (don't yet use hardy's repositories) 3) Reboot so you are running with the latest gutsy kernel 4) Attempt to upgrade to hardy using whatever method pleases you (I used update-manager) Unfortunately I'm not able to test this procedure myself at the moment, but it hopefully mirrors the state my system was in when I experienced this bug. -- Gutsy-Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm that this still occurs even with 8.04.1: 1. Fully upgraded/updated Gutsy (Gnome desktop) machine as of today Aug 5, 2008 2. Insert 8.04.1 Alternate CD and select the upgrade option on the popup window 3. Allow it to fetch updates from the network in addition to the CD 4. Upgrade proceeds until it reaches the Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8... 5.
