Bugzilla – Bug 154591
After package installation is complete, system takes several minutes to continue to next step
Last modified: 2006-03-03 21:24:59 UTC
With Beta6, After package installation is complete, the system takes several minutes to continue to the next step. I switched over to the console and ran top, it showed y2base taking 99-100% of my first processor. It ran for about 5 minutes before it continued on to the next step. I did this on x86-64, kcoombs saw this on i586 (vmware).
This may be related to bug 153708 (?)
for your description its not clear to me where time is spent exactly. please attach logs
This happens just after completing the package insallation (i.e. after all packages from CD 3 are installed if a default GNOME install is done), and before configuring the hostname. I will attach my logs, but leave the bug in needinfo for Chad to attach his.
Created attachment 71028 [details] y2logs for VMware installation.
Created attachment 71097 [details] Yast log files from x86-64 NOTE: The log files are large, bugzilla wouldn't let me upload the tgz from save_y2logs, so this is a bz2 file.
From the timestamps in the logs, I don't see 'severarl minutes' spent anywhere. I do see excessive debug (which is reduced now, but not for beta6). But nowhere a 5 minute delay. Please try to reproduce it or make the bug description more precise.
I've found what appears to be the problem in the logs: y2log-1, line 25,212 and 25,213: These show the end of the RPM install. All packages are installed. Shortly after this we start to get XML parser errors, such as this: 2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 at line 22, column 1 2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 XML syntax warning: Did not expect element name there 2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 at line 22, column 1 2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 XML syntax warning: Did not expect text in element TODO content y2log, line 26,645: XML errors end. The time between these lines is 18:44:45 - 18:40:37 = 00:04:07, roughly 4 minutes.
This excessive logging is fixed in autobuild
