[coLinux-users] 0.7.1 pre-release not properly 'shutting down'

[Jason A. <ja...@co...>]

I'm trying out the 0.7.1 pre-release, so far everything is working
perfect except shut down.

I run coLinux as a service on Windows XP, and what happens when
'shutting down' is, the Linux portion seems to shut down fine,
eventually reaching  a safe to power off point, but the colinux-daemon
doesn't properly terminate. Windows thinks the service is still
'shutting down' and it never reaches a 'power off' point. If I manually
kill the colinux-daemon process, Windows then restarts it right away.
Oddness.

I'm not sure what informtion I might provide that's useful, so if
there's anything let me know:
C:\Program Files\coLinux>colinux-daemon.exe
Cooperative Linux Daemon, 0.7.1
Compiled on Mon Jan  1 03:59:29 2007

C:\Program Files\coLinux>ver

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Found in the Application log:
The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( coLinux ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this
description; see Help and Support for details. The following information
is part of the event: daemon: service control STOP.

Was just wondering if anyone might have any suggestions. If not, I guess
I'll have to go back to 0.6.4.

Your command line for installing the service and the config file would 
be interesting, and the current directory where you stays on installing 
the service.

CoLinux 0.7.1 use a new internal parameter for starting service, if path 
for installing and running is differ.  This could be a problem?
Are you shure, to re-installed the service after update from 0.6.4 to 
0.7.1?  Re-installing means two calls --remove-service and --remove-service.

It would be help, if you runs the debugger on error time:
Start colinux service (normal, you does, without debugger)
After is full running: Run the debugger on a second windows prompt:
   colinux-debug-daemon.exe -d -p -s prints=31,misc=31 -f debug1.xml
Stop the service, wait for down. (make your error you have)
Stop the debugger with CTRL-C
Start the debugger again with an other outfile:
   colinux-debug-daemon.exe -d -p -s prints=31,misc=31 -f debug2.xml
Kill the colinux-daemon
Stop the debugger with CTRL-C

View the last lines in the files debug1.xml and the beginning in 
debug2.xml.  Is there any intersting print about problems, or a warning?

I'm curious, too, if other people who run coLinux as  service have seen
this problem or not.  Other than that Jason, we are looking into this
problem and should have an patch applied once we figure out what the
issue is.  It would help, alot to know your command-line, especially the
options that you are sending to coLinux when you register your service.

Thanks,

George

I posted all the requested information to the list yesterday :)

Unfortunately it topped out just a little over 'maxsize' so went to the
admin for approval. Hopefully he approves it soon to let it through!


Here though is part of the post, minus the log outputs which is what
caused it to go oversize.:

Yes. I clean-installed Windows onto an empty hard disk then installed
coLinux 0.7.1 (just transfered the root_fs file), so I know there was no
prior 0.6.4 config cruft.

Thanks! This seems to have done the trick!

I run a 'scratch' Gentoo image, so the default for that line was '-r
now'. Worked fine in 0.6.4, but I guess the newer revisions have
modified the behaviour a bit.

So I also updated the Wiki I made with the info at
http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Gentoo_Installing_From_Scratch

Yes, older coLinux has no "reboot". So, "-r" and "-h" was the same.

Found in changelog for the 0.7.0:
2005-02-12T18:35:53  da-x at colinux.org

	Improve rebooting support.
	 * Reason of Linux's termination is now brought to the knowledge
	   of the daemon, which decides whether to reboot or to abort.
	 * Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Del now sends Ctrl-Alt-Del in console-nt.

Ok. You have shutting down the linux by sending CTRL-ALT-DEL key code. 
After this should be follow a "daemon: service stopped." in the event
logger.

Have you set to halt in your /etc/inittab?  If not, try this:
   # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.

   ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now

Service is normal stopping in 0.7.1 prerelease with build date 20070319
and 20070101.  I do shutting down coLinux in the Windows Service 
Manager, or on Windows command line 'net stop "Cooperative Linux"'. 
With -h and also with -r in the inittab.
I see no problems.  colinux-daemon.exe exits after linux is down.
