chapter 6.7.2 error

Hello all,

I'm building LFS 6.4 on a Dell Inspiron 700m (basically, 1.7 GHz Celeron, 512 Megs RAM), using Fedora 9
(xfce) for the host.

Everything seemed to go smoothly, until:
chapter 6.7.2

5.10. Expect-5.43.0 - test fail

Hello,

I have some problems with chapter 5.10. Expect-5.43.0  (LFS version
6.4 stable). I am using LFS LiveCD v6.3.

I run testsuite in this chapter and some of tests failed. I have the
most fear with this chapter of the testsuite:

---- Test generated error; Return code was: 1
---- Return code should have been one of: 0 2
---- errorInfo: child killed: segmentation violation
    while executing
"exec rm /tmp/[pid]"
    ("uplevel" body line 11)
    invoked from within
"uplevel 1 $script"
---- errorCode: CHILDKILLED 19714 SIGSEGV {segmentation violation}
==== spawn-1.4 FAILED

Whole output from the testsuite is in the attachment expect.test.output.

Thank you for help!
Regards Tomáš Skočdopole

jhalfs issue with permissions

Hello folks,

Decided to try out jhalfs for 6.4.  Pretty slick  system.

I'm running fedora 8 as the host.  Logged in as a priv user rporter.

I start up the build (after of course downloads, configure $LFS, etc.)

Here is what I get.

Building the system...
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/jhalfs'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mk_LUSER
You are going to log into the user account lfs
sudo requires a password
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Building target 028-binutils-pass1
 [/du: cannot read directory `/mnt/lfs/.Trash-root': Permission denied 0 sec
du: cannot read directory `/mnt/lfs/.Trash-rporter': Permission denied

Now, I have only built one user on the host system (rporter).  I get
this prompt and the only valid password is rporter's password.  Not
sure what its trying to do.

Since you didn't explicitly say it, we'll go for the obvious first.  Did 
you add rporter to /etc/sudoers and give him all commands?  RedHat AS/EL 
used to have good comments in the /etc/sudoers file.  I don't know about 
Fedora, but the needed change is available on the BLFS sudo page:

Yes I did update sudoers

## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL
rporter ALL=(ALL)       ALL

I prefer to define

root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL
rporter ALL=NOPASSWD:   ALL

in /etc/sudoers or better to use visudo. Then iti not necessary to enter 
a password as OS user rporter.

Good luck

Wait, it actually started the build!  I missed that part yesterday. 
What exactly is the problem? The du commands?  The build shouldn't stop 
because of that, did it stop, or did you stop it?  Anyway, the du errors 
are harmless, but the reason is that the lfs user (just created) does 
not have read access to those directories.  As for the 'Sorry, try 
again' errors...What happens if you do 'sudo useradd lfs'?  Assuming 
those were errors and not that I just misinterpreted the problem, is SE 
enabled?  I haven't heard of SE causing problems yet, but I'd disable or 
at least set to permissive.

Those .Trash folders look like they may be from the desktop environment. You 
may want to try altering their permissions so that all users can read them.
