Description James Laska 2008-05-23 16:07:05 UTC
Description of problem:

Attempting to login from gdm (or startx or vnc) shows the following error
dialogs (3 total):

'''
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
'''

'''
There was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo-activiation server
The error code is: 1
The panel will now exit
'''

'''
Nautilus can't be used now.  Running the command "bonobo-slay" from the console
may fix the problem.  If not, you can try rebooting the computer or installing
Nautilus again.

How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL4-U7 @everything
2. Login to gdm to start a gnome desktop session
  
Actual results:
see attached screenshot

Expected results:
Desktop should start


Additional info:

 - This looks familiar to an oldie that was filed on ppc and involved the
presence of ppc64 gnome packages causing problems (see bug#175533).

 - The following ppc64 packages have been added to RHEL4.7 since RHEL4.6 (not
sure if these might contribute to the failure).

Can you attach the output of 

ps -ef

and

ls -la /tmp/orbit-root

and

rpm -qa libbonobo gnome-panel --qf="%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-06-05 15:05:51 UTC
so bonobo and multilib don't get along in rhel 4.  We fixed this in rhel5 but we
can't do the same fix in rhel 4 (it's way too invasive).

For some reason the ppc64 bit libbonobo is getting pulled in now.  That's what's
causing this problem.  We need to figure out why libbonobo.ppc64 is getting
pulled in on ppc.

Find offending package

So jlaska gave me access to the machine over irc and I investigated a bit
today.

The above shell script tries to figure out which chain of packages are pulling
in libbonobo.ppc64

[root@ibm-l4a-lp1 ~]# sh find-the-evil-one.sh libbonobo.ppc64
gnome-vfs2.ppc64
    gtkhtml2.ppc64
EVIL:  gtkhtml2.ppc64

So it seems that gtkhtml2 is what is causing the problem. Note though that
gtkhtml2 isn't in the list of packages that were mentioned as new in 4.7 from
4.6.

I wonder if it got installed manually after the upgrade? jlaska, can you
reproduce this problem on any other machine? or on this machine doing a fresh
install and upgrade?

Comment 8 James Laska 2008-06-05 20:18:15 UTC
I've just reinstalled the ibm-l4a-lp1.test.redhat.com system using
RHEL4-U7-re20080604.0 and it continues to show the failure on startup of the
gnome desktop.

$ vncviewer ibm-l4a-lp1.test.redhat.com:1    (passwd == redhat)

Comparing the RHEL4/U6/AS/ppc tree with RHEL4-U7-re20080604.0/AS/ppc shows the
following added packages:

Additionally, there are some potentially interesting lines in the compose logs
that might help identify what's pulling in the bad ppc64 packages:

Comment 10 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-06-05 21:15:27 UTC
ah that would explain it.  It doesn't explain obviously explain why
gtkhtml2.ppc64 is getting pulled in, also, though.

Anyway, that's our problem, so we should figure out why it got added and solve
that problem in a different way.

Comment 11 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-06-05 21:25:12 UTC
Looks like it was added by Mike. Mike, why do we need gnome-vfs2 in comps?

Comment 12 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-06-05 21:28:06 UTC
I take that back,  Mike was just moving stuff around I think.  Looking at cvs
log we have:

----------------------------
revision 1.1
date: 2008/01/23 17:50:21;  author: dmach;  state: Exp;
created rhel4.7 comps, added compat-libstdc++-33 to base and gnome-vfs2 to multilib

Daniel, why was that needed?

Comment 13 Mike McLean 2008-06-05 22:07:53 UTC
This change was for bug#354111 (Daniel, in future, please reference bug numbers
in the changelog if possible when making comps changes).

This situation nicely illustrates why I tend to push back on multilib changes,
and why I prefer to get them in early so that there is time for the bugs to
shake out. (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354111#c43 )



Comment 14 Mike McLean 2008-06-05 22:10:32 UTC
The comps change went in /months/ ago. Why are we only seeing this issue come up
now? (bug filed about 2 weeks ago)

Comment 15 James Laska 2008-06-05 22:45:50 UTC
Mike: fair question.  I suspect several factors ... it's ppc, it's RHEL4, and
it's gnome.  I suspect we *only* hit this if you perform an @everything or a
@compat-arch install ... which is common for installation test, but not for
desktop testing.  I'll chase that portion down.

Ray: Since this does seem to pop up every so often, is there any way we can
detect such multilib failure conditions in an automated fashion?  Or is this
just specific to these *exact* versions of bonobo not being multilib friendly?

Comment 16 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-06-06 14:24:11 UTC
Let me explain the problem.

libbonobo ships with a program called bonobo-activation-server.  Apps that link
against libbonobo talk to bonobo-activation-server whenever they want to run a
component that provides an interface via bonobo.  The apps normally say
something like

"bonobo-activation-server, please launch a program that provides the function Foo()"

and then bonobo-activation-server looks for the binary and starts it and then
when the program is started the client tells the program to run the function
Foo().  

That works fine in multilib setups.  Some bonobo components aren't separate
binaries though.  They run in the process of the client instead.  In those
cases, a client will say

"bonobo-activation-server, please tell me the path of the library that provides
the function Foo()"

and then bonobo-activation-server looks for the library and returns it back to
the client who dlopens the library and then runs Foo().

Now 64-bit programs can't dlopen() 32-bit libraries and vice versa.  This means
that for in-process components, bonobo-activation-server needs to return the
path to a 32-bit library for 32-bit clients and 64-bit library for 64-bit clients.

It doesn't do this in RHEL 4.  Instead, if bonobo-activation-server is 32-bit it
will always return a path to a 32-bit library and if it is 64-bit it will always
return a path to a 64-bit library.  I fixed this in rhel5, but the fix requires
changing every package that ships shared library (in-process) bonobo components.
 We can't make a change that is that invasive in RHEL4.

Now one important thing to keep in mind is we hardly ever want to run 64-bit ppc
binaries (32-bit binaries on ppc outperform and in general are just better than
64-bit binaries on ppc).  Normally we want a 64-bit ppc kernel and everything
else 32-bit.  That means we always want to ship a 32-bit
bonobo-activation-server, 32-bit bonobo components and 32-bit programs to use
those components.

A bug in our multilib set up is that 64-bit packages always "win".  If you've
got the 64-bit and 32-bit package which bonobo-activation-server in it, then
we'll end up with a 64-bit bonobo-activation-server on disk.  For ppc, we really
want 32-bit packages to win, but that's not going to change in RHEL4.  As
mentioned earlier, bonobo-activation-server is in the libbonobo package.  This
means we can't install the 64-bit libbonobo package on a multilib ppc installation.

For automated testing purposes, you can detect this failure by identifying
whether bonobo-activation-server is 32-bit or 64-bit and then checking the
opposite bonobo server dir for shlib components.  I'll attach a little shell
script that i think should work as an example.

look for incompatible .server files

Comment 18 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-06-06 15:04:05 UTC
(note this test isn't sufficient for testing the fix deployed on rhel5, it's
only sufficient for finding the problem on rhel4)

Comment 20 Daniel Mach 2008-06-09 18:30:23 UTC
Summary of previous comments:
 - it's not reasonable to fix libbonobo in rhel4
 - to fix this issue, we have to revert bug#354111 (gnome-vfs2 was added to
multilib list in comps, we need to remove it)
 - according the email I got from John Jarvis, IBM agrees with this revert

Comment 22 Daniel Mach 2008-06-11 08:12:30 UTC
gnome-vfs2 has been removed from compat-arch-support group.

Comment 25 James Laska 2008-06-23 17:16:04 UTC
VERIFIED changes on RHEL4-U7-re20080618.0 and RHEL4/ppc desktop is now happy.
