Manage 3rd Party software fails on Debian 3.1 sarge

Reported by: UnFleshed One Assigned to: isak
Priority: Medium Milestone: 1.2.4
Component: frontend Version: 1.2.2
Severity: Major Keywords: autopackage-manager-gtk; GNOME; Debian; Sarge; binreloc; autosu; sudo

Description (Last modified by curtis)

When launched as user either from menu or from terminal, it will pop up showing list of installed packages. When "Remove" clicked, it asks for root, then shows bouncing rectangle (searching for packages), then nothing -- window disappears.

When launched from root terminal it works as expected.

Note, the user doesn't have sudoers privileges (in case this is relevant).

Change History

  • version changed from 1.2 to 1.0.

Sorry, the version is actually 1.0.10

03/23/07 17:22:01 changed by isak

Can you try to see if this is fixed in 1.2? I did a couple of fixes in the manager prior to the 1.2 release that were related to this.

If it's still there in 1.2, could you try to run it from a terminal and see if there's any output. And also, try running it as a user that is in the sudoers file, maybe it's a permission problem that the manager isn't reporting correctly.

Ok, here is terminal output:

I'll add user to sudoers and try again.

03/26/07 16:00:32 changed by UnFleshed One

Same thing happens with sudo working.

BTW, first line (libglade-WARNING) prints while it is searching for packages, second two -- when showing list (I have two packages installed). After click on "remove" it returns to terminal (and pops up password prompt).

  • owner changed from isak to curtis.
  • milestone changed from None to 1.2.3.

Moving to next available milestone and accepting ticket because of output attachment.

  • status changed from assigned to new.
  • owner changed from curtis to isak.

I inadvertently grabbed this ticket for myself. Assign back to Isak.

  • status changed from new to assigned.

The glade warning is harmless. You have an older libglade version than the person who last saved the glade-file (me).

The other ones are interesting, since it looks like it gets garbage output when searching for packages.

Can you please try to run it with debugging. Run as a normal user: AUTOPACKAGE_MANAGER_GTK_DEBUG=1 autopackage-manager-gtk

Then paste the output here.

I wonder about this (nil) application...

That (nil) is OK. It just indicates that it's the end of the list of applications.

The error in string_to_utf8 is a bit troubling though. Seems like there's information missing for the package.

I've made some changes in svn that might give us more information. Could you update from svn and try again. And please also set the environment variable AUTOPACKAGE_MANAGER_BACKEND_DEBUG=1 before running it next time. (Also , set AUTOPACKAGE_MANAGER_GTK_DEBUG=1 like last time). This should give us additional debugging info.

Thanks for taking time to do this!

Oh, sorry. I wasn't clear enough. You need to run autopackage-manager-gtk from svn.

Checkout the frontend/trunk component, and then build the manager (in frontend/manager). You should get a binary called manager/frontend-gtk/autopackage-manager-gtk which you then copy to wherever location your original autopackage-manager-gtk binary was (~/.local/bin or /usr/bin/ most likely). (yes, overwrite the old one)

Then run it with full debugging like you did last time. Most notably, in the end when you click "Remove" for a root owned package (you can install foobar test package if you don't wanna uninstall a real package), you should see a similar to: 

autopackage-manager-gtk: Need elevated privileges to remove selected package..
autopackage-manager-gtk: using autosu (/usr/libexec/autopackage/autosu-gtk)

if everything works or a GUI message box if stuff fails (which I assume it does).

04/04/07 17:36:07 changed by UnFleshed One

Ok, here is the output. No message box, just dies after entering the password. BTW, I built it on different platform and then copied over. (and only autopackage-manager-gtk itself)

Yeah, or maybe in the arguments being passed to autosu (like a NULL command).

This could be a binreloc issue, and I've upgraded the binreloc support in the manager in changeset:2311. Could you please update from svn and try it again? (With debugging of course)

(Seriously, this time we might have actually fixed it *keeping fingers crossed*)

04/05/07 11:39:35 changed by UnFleshed One

I think it is getting close :). Again, I built it on different platform and copied only autopackage-manager-gtk into /usr/bin/. (and the rest of autopackage is installed as root too)

Looks like it starts after autosu, but doesn't reach GUI part.

There is some problem with binreloc, but fallback seem to work fine, since everything installed in default location.

Things are getting weirder and weirder!

The binreloc failed to initialized is because you didn't re-generate 'configure' (run 'autogen.sh' in the manager's top-level source dir). But it's no harm, since the default is fine in this case.

After it fork()s of and runs as root, it seems to get all the way to gtk_init() (which is after loading locale files) and then it silently dies. Maybe this is an issue with root not being allowed to connect to the terminal.

I've committed a change that prints the value of DISPLAY before it starts. Do you think you could try it again please?

04/05/07 18:31:18 changed by UnFleshed One

I did regenerate configure after updating though... (I run make -f Makefile.cvs && ./configure && make)

I'll try it next week.

No, DISPLAY seems to be fine. Although this time it outputs "Loading GUI from file" and dies after that.

This time package was listed in "All Applications" (since the desktop file for it wasn't installed)

I'll do some printf debugging later this week, to see if I can find exact spot.

Hmm, I appear to possibly have a similar problem (using manager from svn). When I try to uninstall an app that's installed as root, I get the autosu box, and then nothing happens after entering my password. Here's my output:

Then autosu pops up. I enter my root password, go OK, and then nothing happens. Uninstalling a package that's installed as user works fine. I'm on Slackware, so it's just using plain su.

Isak, if you want SSH into my box to debug this, catch me on IRC sometime.

04/10/07 14:17:05 changed by isak

Hmm, a sleeping state for the manager is probably expected. That's what GUI apps do most of their time (waiting for stuff to happen).

The s and + after the initial sleep means that its "session leader" and that it's a foreground process respectively.

For some reason the root manager does not get to the point where it can draw windows on the screen. I've no idea why, and it did succeed in initializing GTK (which would complain if something was wrong). It doesn't really do anything fancy after initializing GTK.

If any one of you would like to stick a couple of TRACE("I'm here!\n") throughout the main() function that would be great. I really would like to know which line is the last it manages to execute. And also, if it's the same line each run (if it's not, we might have a threading problem).

Unfortunately, it's not really possible to debug this in gdb, since we have a pretty complex setup with fork()'s and setuid()'s that confuses or perhaps even stops gdb from doing its work. At least I wasn't able to make gdb follow the fork into the child root process.

04/10/07 17:33:06 changed by taj

UnFleshed? One, could you try the latest code from svn (fix is r2321)? Isak and I made it work on my box today...if you can confirm that it now works for you too, that'd be great!

04/10/07 21:08:20 changed by UnFleshed One

Not yet. It now consistently shows "Application search in progress" after elevation and dies right after that. (Before this change I only rarely saw this dialog, now I always see it).

If it really is timing issue, the fix seems to just shift it...

It looks like amount of output varies if I add my own TRACE calls. (But it seems to stay consistent with multiple runs of the same build)

Is there a way to force stack trace on crash? Or to know what kind of crash is it? Can gdb attach to running process? (there is a window of opportunity untill it starts calling application_found())

(Ugh, this gtk stuff isn't pretty...)

To force core dumps, set your ulimit for cores to unlimited: 

$ ulimit -c unlimited

You may need to set this for root specifically, depending on whether su/sudo resets the environment or not.

To attach to a running process, start gdb as the user owning the process (root) and, in the gdb prompt: 

(gdb) attach <pid-of-running-process>

  • severity changed from Blocker to Major.

Unfleshed One, any more information about this? Have you managed to get a core dump?

I'm lowering the prio since I don't think we should wait for this to be resolved before we do a new release.

Sorry, I haven't had much time recently, and I can't get a core dump for some reason (maybe I'm doing something wrong, or the crash isn't dump worthy?)

I've run it through strace though. Had to attach to running process at the point before clicking remove, otherwise either GTK+ doesn't like setuid, or auto-su doesn't accept root password.

This is modified version of executable with bunch of my own TRACE calls and progress animation disabled (just commented out one line). 

# chmod +s /usr/bin/strace

$ autopackage-manager-gtk &

$ strace -p <pid> -f -F -o <file>

(And yes, it isn't a show stopper since it seems to happen on my machine only).

Somebody reported that the same thing happens (or, at least, it sounds like the same thing) with Ubuntu Feisty.

05/14/07 15:13:04 changed by isak

I have feisty installed and running Autopackage svn and I can not reproduce this. I did have an issue with X permissions though (had to run xhost + or else X11 wouldn't allow the root spawned process to connect).

05/14/07 15:42:47 changed by isak

Unfleshed One: Do you happen to have SELinux or similar security enhancing systems installed? Such a system could perhaps explain why the communication is getting I/O errors and the SIGHUP.

05/15/07 11:12:20 changed by taj

Correct, this doesn't happen on Feisty. The issue the user was talking is actually another one (maybe the xhost problem). From their description, it sounds like the "Removing" window never pops up...or something like that. I'll ask for a more detailed description later.

05/18/07 07:35:23 changed by isak

I've added the xhost problem as #21.

  • description changed.
  • milestone changed from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4.

Move to next milestone as 1.2.3 was released.

05/29/07 17:28:07 changed by UnFleshed One

From quick look at package list I have libselinux1 1.22-1 installed.

I didn't install that one myself, but I would expect it to be as default as they go.

(didn't install that one distro I mean, it is a VMWare image for testing)

Replying to UnFleshed One:

(didn't install that one distro I mean, it is a VMWare image for testing)

So you actually have a vmware image where this problem ocurrs? Do you think I can get a copy of it? If not, do you think you could try the latest manager code from svn? I've done some major changes in r2348 that might mitigate this problem all together.

06/06/07 15:20:58 changed by UnFleshed One

Yes! Updated version worked fine. Except it didn't update application list after uninstall was finished (reopening manager showed correct list though).

If you still need vmware image, I can put it up somewhere. It is about 1.5 gigs compressed, and was made by VMWare Workstation 5.5.3. I run it on WinXP host, and I never tried vmware on linux, so I'm not sure if they are compatible...

  • status changed from assigned to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

Awesome that it worked. I'm not sure if the new code fixed it or if it just worked around it.

In any case, I'm closing this ticked as fixed. I don't think I'll need the images now, but thanks.

(And I'll look into why it didn't update the list - it should do so if the uninstall was successfull)
