Bug#502625: system-config-lvm crashes immediately
Hi Philipp Apologies for not following up earlier. On Mon, 20 Oct 2008, Philipp Hübner wrote: I tried, it's definetly not needed. Furthermore I installed system-config-lvm and lvm2 on a clean lenny-system: dm_mod get's loaded instantly after the installation, system-config-lvm works out of the box. Then I removed all the dm_-modules manually, and tried again: system-config-lvm still came up, without problems. I checked, and after system-config-lvm had reloaded lvm2, the dm_-modules still weren't loaded. I had a look at this. I installed etch in virtualBox, then upgraded to lenny. The dm_-modules were loaded even before I installed system-config-lvm and lvm2. So something is different between that vm and my desktop. I've had a quick look and nothing stands out as obvious to me. (And I probably won't get around to following that up). Haven't tried to use system-config-lvm then, as you already told me that without dm_mod lvcreate etc. don't work. If I stop lvm and unload dm_mod, system-config-lvm crashes with the same stacktrace as the initial bug report. If I try the same in the vm, system-config-lvm works ok. It allows me to initialise partitions, add them to volume groups, but not to create logical volumes. (When I attempt to create an lv it displays the same error message as lv-create in a message box, but doesn't crash). So again there is something different between my Desktop originally installed pre-etch, and an more recent default install. So it seams, dm_mod has not caused your crash directly, which is gone now I assume? Crash is gone, unless I manually unload dm_mod (which counts as user error). Agreed that dm_mod doesn't seem to be the cause of the crash, despite how I can trigger the crash on my desktop. Strange how my desktop and the vm differs. Maybe after years of upgrades I should think about a clean install ;) . Need to move 64-bit eventually. The bug you filed against lvm2 could be right though. Will follow up with similar info there.

Thet GUI appears for about a second, displays a reloading lvm status bar and
then
crashes. Starting from the menu item appears similar.
The last line mentions dmsetup which I guess refers to /sbin/dmsetup from the
dmsetup package. dmsetup isn't in depends or recommends, but is installed
(version 2:1.02.27-4).
Severity important as this might be a corner case because I don't have any
physical volume/volume groups setup yet. (I was hoping system-config-lvm would
help me do that). I also haven't rebooted since installing system-config-lvm
and lvm2, though I did try running /etc/init.d/lvm2 restart.
Thanks for your work in Debian.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, thank you for reporting the bug. So far I was unable to reproduce it. Were you trying to use system-config-lvm on a freshly installed system? Are you using anything uncommon (e.g. raid)? It might be a missing dependency. It's working for me, I never encountered a crash like this. I'll have to check on a new clean system.

package system-config-lvm severity 502625 normal retitle 502625 system-config-lvm crashes if dm_mod not loaded thanks On Sun, 19 Oct 2008, Philipp Hübner wrote: Hello, thank you for reporting the bug. So far I was unable to reproduce it. I've managed to track this down. The problem seems to be that dm_mod wasn't loaded. Rebooting after creating a VG was enough to get dm_mod autoloaded. (I didn't reboot earlier, so I'm not sure whether a reboot after installing lvm2 would be enough). I'm guessing the simple fix is a wrapper script that checks whether dm_mod is already loaded, and either modprobes dm_mod, or warns the user that they need to load dm_mod.
