Since we cant duplicate the segfault with passwdx we cant debug it properly.can either of you try switching to the chroot and running it, and then try running strace with it also, see if you can find anything more out?

Hello, Uel: Attached is log of strace while running passwdx which captures the segmentation fault. Hopefully you're able to determine what could be happening from it's contents. Looks a bit hairy to me :) Cheers, newt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thursday, August 6, 2009, 9:28:10 AM, you wrote: ua> Since we cant duplicate the segfault with passwdx we cant debug it properly.can ua> either of you try switching to the chroot and running it, and then try ua> running strace with it also, see if you can find anything more out? ua> On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 6:54 AM, M0E Lnx <m0...@gm...> wrote: >> Can one of you guys that's getting the segmentation fault do this for me? >> >> When the installer gets to the point of adding new user accounts, open >> up a terminal, and show me the output of "mount" >> >> @ Newtor >> I can see why the partitions would double up when you do that.

What about the results of "mount" I want to see what is mounted at the time you guys are setting up user accounts. |

Hello,
I'm doing a pretty straight-forward installation with the exception of updating
the installer each time:
Boot from CD (iso)
hit 'enter' at boot options
wait for desktop/installer to start
quit installer
kill dhcpd pid
get static network going (ifconfig, resolv, route, etc)
start installer (gbr2 /root/speedy/vinstall-ng.gambas)
click next through choices
re-use partitions (but have tried new ones as well)
full installation (but have tried custom and light as well)
lilo bootloader (but have tried grub2 as well) - using default choices for both
overall, a pretty normal installation
I'll give the default installer supplied on 1.21 a shot without updating to see if
it makes any difference. I plan on reusing partitions but reformatting; default
choices throughout (just 'next'); lilo bootloader; etc.
....I'm back. I just retested the install with no installer updates and it
installs correctly - root and user account passwords are set correctly. The one
exception is that the installer did not prompt for the 2nd CD, but this WAS the
old installer so perhaps it was simply a bug back then.
At this point, I'll make the assumption that the bug is introduced when updating
the installer or starting it manually. Here's my method for updating the installer
and starting it manually:
>>> 'kill 3827' (dhcpcd pid)
>>> 'ifconfig eth0 down'
>>> 'leafpad /etc/resolv.conf'
>>> add 'nameserver 192.168.100.1' and save&exit
>>> 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.252 netmask 255.255.255.0 up'
>>> 'route add default gw 192.168.100.1'
>>> 'cd speedy'
>>> 'svn up'
>>> received 'updated to revision 702'
>>> 'gbr2 /root/speedy/vinstall-ng.gambas'
Perhaps I'm not invoking the installer correctly?
I'll finish up with installing via 702 and report back.
Cheers, newt

Hello, I decided to follow your steps (fairly closely) on my virtual machine with the latest installer. User account passwords seem to have worked correctly. Binding worked correctly - similar to the jpeg you posted earlier. Shadow shows correctly encrypted passwords. Installer revision 702 single partition / as reiserfs custom install, no X, no kde4, no fun/media/office I invoked the installer with 'gambas2', load project folder, click the 'run' button. This is new to me; I generally use 'gbr2 /root/speedy/vinstall-ng.gambas'. I guess the next step will be for me to repeat the process but invoke the installer my usual way to determine if that has any effect on the account password creation step. I'll let you know.

It's the bind of /sys /dev /proc from the running install to the /mnt/target that is not working here nor for Newt I expect. I do it manually from the terminal i.e. mount -o bind /proc /mnt/target/proc same for /sys and /dev all works as expected no segfaults. So now i guess we have to figure out why the bind code is working for some and not others.

M0E......... If memory serves me I think this problem with bind did not show till after you changed partition display so may be there. As a work around you might check /proc on the /mnt/target and see if anything is there if not redo the bind thing before going to the root/user setup............just an idea R Robert Lange vec...@ya... http://www.vectorlinux.com --- On Thu, 8/6/09, Robert Lange <vec...@ya...> wrote: > From: Robert Lange <vec...@ya...> > Subject: Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0-SOHO-A1.9.21 > To: "Newtor" <gen...@gm...>, "Vector Linux developer's list" <vec...@li...> > Received: Thursday, August 6, 2009, 11:20 PM > It's the bind of /sys /dev /proc from > the running install to the /mnt/target that is not working > here nor for Newt I expect.

Great!... Now we have some real debugging to do. and BTW newtor, scsi or IDE drivers *should* not make a difference. My VM has IDE, because VBox can't emulate scsi. I have however tried the installer on both of my machines at home, which use all scsi drives, and even scsi cdroms, and it works just like it does here. I normally just run the installer by invoking "./vinstall-ng.gambas > gui.log" |

Ok guys, Here is what i've done. I'm running tests for the bind mounts at a couple of strategic locations on the installer. By default, the bind mounts should be done right after installing vlconfig2, which happens just before you get to the booloader setup window. By the time you get out of the booloader setup, they should already be mounted. But just to be sure, I've added tests for the bind mounts while configuring timezone, and root password. During the time zones, the installer will check 3 times, or until the mounts are found. Dorring the root password, if they're still not mounted, the installer will test an additional 5 times. All of this is done in the background, so you should not see any effect at all. Please test and report back. |

M0E.............. Houston we have ignition!!! she works like a charm now. The bind did not show up until before the root/user setup so the code after vlconfig2 does not seem to work but the new additions did the trick.
