Re: [SunRay-Users] 26D problems SRSS 5.1

2011-02-25 Thread Detlev Habicht
Hi all,

we tried to modify  gdm-2.16.0-56.el5.src.rpm (Red Hat) settings 
MAX_CONNECTIONS to 100.

It doesn't work. Maybe we have done something wrong, but when our 2 server FOG 
were online
again, the SunRays got no login screens. So we stopped this experiment.

When we start the FOG again with the original gdm, we saw, it needed a long for 
the
SunRays to come up and work properly. And of course, we have still the 26D 
problem.

Sometimes i think, there is a communication problem between the two servers.
When a 26D appears, i have also the problem to access Sessions in the GUI
of one of the servers. When 26D is gone, i have no problems with the GUI
to access Sessios.

I want to know, if this 26D problem only appears in FOGs or also in standalone 
systems.

2011-02-16 Thread Detlev Habicht
I setup a service request at Red Hat.

This is the answer:


Red Hta do not have gdm version with MAX_CONNECTIONS set to 100. You may try 
using third party gdm or recompiling the gdm from source after changes the 
MAX_CONNECTIONS values in source code. But please note that as per Red hat 
production suport policy, Red Hat do not provide support for it.


Well, we have do it self 

Detlev


P.S.: I have no knowledge to do such things, but i will try it. I am still 
reading doc.
  I think, we have to create a patch script for the source rpm.

 I'm testing with fedora 14 for the time being.

I tried replacing the gdm with the one provided with the SRS install but 
that did not work well. I have to look into why a bit more.

Hi Meik,

this finally seems to fix our problem. The patched gdm for ubuntu 10.4
now runs for some days without problems.

For those, who are also running ubuntu 10.4 I have updated the wiki
accordingly:

Hello again,

i am a little bit confused. Maybe i have made a mistake.
And maybe a second time :-}

Normally i install the gdm from Sun.
Maybe i have forgotten this the last time.

So i find now from Red Hat this: gdm-2.16.0-56.el5

Sun has this: gdm-2.16.7-2.1_01.sunray.x86_64.rpm

Maybe some of the people here with 26D problems have also forgotten to install
the Sun version of gdm???

I can't test gdm in the moment. So i don't know if this helps.

But one questions: I don't find the source for the Sun version.
Is here someone who knows a URL to it?

Thanx.

Detlev

Re: [SunRay-Users] 26D problems SRSS 5.1

2011-02-09 Thread Bob Doolittle

You should not normally install the version of gdm included with the product 
manually.

That version will be installed automatically by the installer *if appropriate*.

I believe the only appropriate situation for installing that version is on SLES 
10, which had a significantly downrev version of GDM which had bugs affecting 
Sun Ray performance.

In spite of the apparent version number differences Red Hat has (apparently) 
incorporated the necessary patches in their recent releases, and thus should be 
preferentially used. Again, utinstall should do the right thing here.

What version of Red Hat are you running?

If you're experiencing problems this might be worth a try, but my expectation 
is that it will not help.

Thanks,
Bob

2011-02-07 Thread Detlev Habicht
Hello,

we have similar problems and maybe the same.

I can also see the gdm user for example.

Mostly we see this problem when a user tries to login
via smartcard or want to go to another terminal (with the smartcard).

Sometimes this problem appears for a smartcard and so the 
problem goes with the smartcard.

Sometimes this problem appears for a terminal only.

And every time only a few user have this problem.

The last days we had the effect, waiting 5 until 15 minutes
solved the problem and the effect was gone. We have a two
server FOG and when i login in the Admin GUIs always one of this
servers can't show the sessions or show no sessions. As i say, a few minutes
later everything was ok again.

We are running Red Hat Linux.

So it would be nice to see a solution 

:-)

Greetings

Detlev

What I found out in the meantime is that definitely gdm is the problem.

It works for about a day (or a few days?). Then suddenly gdm does not
provide login service any more, resulting the DTUs to hang in 26D.

Obviously gdmdynamic stops communication with gdm. A gdmdynamic -l -v
at the command line does not give any results and needs to be
interrupted via CTRL+c.

gdm also does not produce any further messages in syslog after the crash
(debug mode is enabled).

An ps -fax | grep gdm shows various alredy connected Xnewt sessions
and some :


 \_ [gdm] defunct

as well as

 gdmdynamic -b -d $SOME-NUMBER

processes.


The strange thing is that utsession -p shows sessions belonging to the
user gdm after the crash. That never showed up before:

[SunRay-Users] 26D problems SRSS 5.1

2011-01-19 Thread Carsten John
Hi everybody,

we are experiencing serious problems after upgrading our SunRay servers
to SRSS 5.1.
We are running on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS (I know it's unsupported)

DTUs are all SunRay 2FS (~ 50 in total), matching FW that came with SRSS
5.1 installed.
The DTUs are connected via dedicated subnet.
The 2 servers are SuperMicro quad AMD 8-cores with 128GB RAM installed.


An increasing number of DTUs are falling into 26D status after the user
logs off (or pulls his smartcard).

After rebooting the server(s) everything seems to be fine for a while.
Login is possible without problems but after some time more and more
DTUs are falling into 26D after logging off.

utsession -k -t $TOKEN and rebooting the DTU does not help (we used this
with our old installation when this situation rarely occured).

We already changed the Java version SRSS uses from Java6-build-22 back
to build-13.

We are seeing messages like

Failed to connect to server after 15 retries

in /var/opt/SUNWut/log/auth_log


Any suggestions.


thanks


Carsten

We've had this happen randomly, but it doesn't sound like it's as bad as you 
have it.

When it happens, I just go into the web console and kill the session.  The user 
has to unplug power from the DTU, but after that,  it functions normally

This is what we did in the past using the CLI issuing utsession -k -t

What I found out in the meantimeis that the problem might be gdm not
starting a new session

At the moment I'm quite confused:

After server reboot everything runs smoothly, gdm shows up on every DTU,
login is possible.

After some time the number of dead DTUs increases, as no new login
launched after logout.

The DTU remains broken until the next reboot.

Hi everybody,

in the meantime I found out, that no new logins are possible even with a
newly connected DTU (so there are no hanging sessions involved).

The DTU that was never connected after the last reboot also remains in
26D when connected.

A few things to check:
- Does gdmdynamic -l list the same set of displays as utsession -p?
- Do you see an Xnewt process for every display in gdmdynamic -l?

Not really...

Server 1: 23 displays occur in both outputs, 4 are unique to gdmdynamic 
and 17 to utsession.
Server 2: 18 displays occur in both outputs, 5 are unique to gdmdynamic 
and 1 to utsession.



- Do you see an Xnewt process for every display in gdmdynamic -l?

Also a no...

Server 1: 13 displays listed in gdmdynamic have a xnewt process, 10 don't
Server 2: 20 displays have a process, 7 don't

Interestingly, if you substract display :0 which is happily running 
Xorg on the local display, there is a matching number (9 and 6) of gdm 
processes with exactly one child: [kill] defunct.

A few things to check:
- Does gdmdynamic -l list the same set of displays as utsession -p?


Not really...

Server 1: 23 displays occur in both outputs, 4 are unique to gdmdynamic and 17 
to utsession.
Server 2: 18 displays occur in both outputs, 5 are unique to gdmdynamic and 1 
to utsession.


- Do you see an Xnewt process for every display in gdmdynamic -l?

Also a no...

Server 1: 13 displays listed in gdmdynamic have a xnewt process, 10 don't
Server 2: 20 displays have a process, 7 don't

Interestingly, if you substract display :0 which is happily running Xorg on the local 
display, there is a matching number (9 and 6) of gdm processes with exactly one child: [kill] 
defunct.


There are some session types that won't utilize an Xnewt process (mostly things displaying icons 
like insert smartcard or a multihead secondary waiting for primary to connect to 
FOG), so it's possible that the utsession -p count would be higher. Except for display 0, 
however all of the gdmdynamic sessions should be running an Xnewt.

The X server appears to be dying and GDM is not restarting it. Can you locate a core 
dump? Are your users in the habit of using the Control-Alt-Bksp-Bksp key 
sequence to abort the X server? GDM has had a history of bugs related to handling that.

I think I've found at least one major culprit.

There is a line in gdm.conf that configures a backup script to be run if 
the X Server fails.


FailsafeXServer=/etc/gdm/failsafeXServer

In order to be able to run an emergency xserver on the failing display 
without having gdm interfere, it checks whether gdm is the parent and if 
so sends a SIGSTOP. That's those zombie kill processes I noticed.


This might explain the severity of our 26D problems.
