Description Ulrich Windl 2005-08-29 06:43:49 UTC 
When no X server is running and SaX2 is started on the console, SaX2 stops with
a rapid "spinner" until it is killed. "Perl -w" finds at least one suspect
statement. There's no real clue in SaX' logfile.
Comment 1 Marcus Schaefer 2005-08-29 12:51:40 UTC 
The rapid spinner is a killproc bug already known and fixed. 
The problem that sax doesn't start can't be answered without logs 
 
  sax2 -r 
  /var/log/SaX.log  
 
  sax2 -p 
 
Thanks

SaX2 output and logs

SaX2 just hangs in phase "init" and has to be aborted with ^C. I'm afarid
you'll see nothing from the log files.
Comment 3 Marcus Schaefer 2005-08-30 15:42:47 UTC 
Hmm, this is really strange I cannot find something usefull in the logs 
could you provide a login for me ?
Comment 4 Marcus Schaefer 2005-08-30 15:45:31 UTC 
*argh* Ulrich now I see you didn't have the GUI installed. In this 
case SaX will setup a commandline interface with the prompt 
 
 SaX: ... 
 
I don't why you didn't have installed the package 
 
  sax2-gui 
 
but if you do that it should work ;)
Comment 5 Ulrich Windl 2005-08-31 06:30:49 UTC 
So it seems another "incomplete dependencies" problem: my "minimal graphical
system" dis come without X11 server or SaX2 (bug #113741), so I selected these
products in YaSt and installed them. Seems something is missing. I still don't
understand why some missing part is causing an endless loop in some Perl code.
Comment 6 Ulrich Windl 2005-08-31 06:32:54 UTC 
Ah! So the bug with the spinner just hides the commandline prompt (it's not a
busy loop as it looks like)?
