Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description john_j_ferrier 2015-10-13 20:58:42 UTC
Created attachment 1082621 [details]
screenshot of the correct result.

Description of problem:

After updating to RHEL 6.7, one of my frequently used tools stopped working.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Previous 6.6, current 6.7

How reproducible:

download "SU 44 Full Source Code" from http://www.cwp.mines.edu/cwpcodes/. uncompress and untar the compressed tarfile, then go to directory "src" and
Compile the code according to the installation guide.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. generate a binary data file with the following C++ code:
=========================================

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    float value[10000];

    FILE *fp = fopen("test.dat", "wb");

    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
        value[i] = i;

    fwrite(value, sizeof(float), 10000, fp);

    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}
=========================================

2. run "/your_installation_path/xcontour n1=100 < test.dat"
3. a window popped out with contour displayed if under RHEL 6.6 but no contour displayed if under RHEL 6.7 (even when the executable is complied under RHEL 6.7).


Actual results: only popped out a window (see attached "snapshot_RHEL6.7.png", which looks like a snapshot of some parts of other windows).


Expected results:popped a window with contour displayed (see attached "snapshot_RHEL6.6.png").


Additional info:

I am sorry that the duplication procedures are not simple. Please contact me if you need any help!


Thank you,

JF

reinstalled RHEL 6.6 and my problem solved. So it's one or several of these updates cause(s) my problem.

Please investigate!!!
