Corrupt iso crashes Gnome
Last modified: 2008-04-02 17:22:24 EDT
Description of problem: Noticed this when I used an corrupt.iso ( failed sha1sum )file as local install media it crashed Gnome.. recreated it using a dummy iso file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Just create a file dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy-install.iso bs=1000 count=0 seek=$[1000*1000*700] Create a new virtual host New --> System name = test --> Fully Virtualized x86_64 kvm --> Local install media --> generic generic --> iso image location point to newly created dummy-install.iso --> simple file ... As soon as virtual-machine tries run/boot the dummy/corrupt iso it crashes Gnome.. Steps to Reproduce: 1. The above 2. 3. Actual results: Crash Expected results: Could not boot from media or corrupt media or something similar. Additional info:
What do you mean by 'crashes GNOME' ? Does virt-manager crash, or does your entire desktop session crash, or just the guest virtual machine crash ?
The entire desktops session crashes and I end up in GDM Default f9beta install updated to current rawhide. Did you even try duplicating this?
No I've not yet tried duplicating this because I don't have a working rawhide machine accessible currently.
I cannot reproduce this problem. The KVM guest starts and its BIOS fails to boot from the CDROM as expected. There was no GNOME crash. Please provide the log file /var/log/libvirt/qemu/{NAME OF GUEST}.log The config file /etc/libvirt/qemu/{NAME OF GUEST}.xml The virt-manger logfile /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log The /home/{YOUR USERNAME}/.xsession-errors file immediately after a crash and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
I think the latest xorg-x11-server ( -16 ) fixed this for me.. At least X does not crash and virtual-manager reports now it cant boot of the dummy iso and normal vguest seems to be running a whole lot smoother.. Close this I will comment on it if I hits me again..
