suse openexchange server 4.1 (based on suse 8.1): bug in newt causes segmentation fault


Hi,

I want to use mondo/mindi on an openexchange server 4.1 from suse (running
on suse's linux enterprise server 8 which is based on suse 8.1 I think).

Apparently, the newt library from suse's 8.1 is buggy (according to hugo's
post on the php forum), this is version newt-0.50.33-1.i386.rpm

I compiled it from source rpm, and when i launch mondobackup, i get a
segmentation fault.

the commandline version seems to work, but during the restore (when i boot f
rom the first cd), after the file sets are processed, and it says sth. like
(reassembling files into one big file - i can't remember exactly and
unfortunately, the machine didn't boot so there are no logs from this
operation), i also get a segmentation fault.

so my questions: who has got mondo up and running either on  openexchange
server 4.1 (SLES 8) or Suse 8.1 and can tell me which version of mondo /
mindi / newt etc. work correctly, or suggest a workaround.

i have had a lot of problems with compiling versions of newt-0.51.x because
it can't find certain files.

this is with version

Yes, it's somewhere around there. You can try the newt from my site and 
see if it works. I seem to remember someone else that had a similar 
problem, and it worked. Now, that being said, the newt and probably 
slang which seem to go together, are probably buggy. Get both, and 
update both. Then try a sample backup to see if it works.

Re: suse openexchange server 4.1 (based on suse 8.1): bug in newt causes segmentation fault


Hi Mike,

I'm doing some tests now with the following versions:

- newt-compiled-0.51.0-1.i386.rpm
- mondo-compiled-1.67-1.i386.rpm
- mindi-compiled-0.87-1.i386.rpm

It seems to work with these versions. at least the backup went without a
problem (gui was ok)

the -compiled- in the filename means that i needed to download these
packages as source rpms and compile them myself. the binary rpm's don't work
because of conflichting glibc and/or libslang-utf8 problems.

I'll keep the list posted of my progress...

thanks,

tom.

Which source package did you use to compile this one? I've been trying 
to get newt 0.51 compiled on 9.0 and it hangs or there is something 
else wrong.

Re: suse openexchange server 4.1 (based on suse 8.1): bug in newt causes segmentation fault


well, i downloaded newt-0.51.0-1.src.rpm from rpmfind.net

actually this is the only version that i could compile without problems.
older versions complained that certain libnewt.so libraries were not found.

what kind of compile errors do you get.
do you compile a .tar.gz or a src.rpm ?

tom.

Fwd: Mondo creates partitions that are too small

Hello, All:

I've created a mondo-archive CD-ROM (using mondo-archive v. 1.65 on Gentoo
1.4) and it boots quite nicely.  :)

However, when I attempt to restore my files - in 'nuke' mode or 'interactive'
mode - mondo reduces all of the HDD's partitions to almost nothing!

Mondorescue hung my linux

 Hi all,

 I have a pentium I 133, with 64M of RAM memory with a redhat linux 8.0
installed. I never could bakup it with mondo rescue. I found a lot of
problems. Finally, on my last try, my machine completely hung and i had to
power it down.

 The logfile is attached.

 Can someone help me?

 Thank you,
bruno negrao

I got the same types of errors. It was a while back, so the memory is 
fuzzy. 

The best part is that I picked up the one you mentioned off of 
rpmfind.net, and it also compiled on my 9.0 system. I went through the 
setup but didn't complete the backup. that's for another night. I've 
also re-compiled it on my 8.1 system along with mindi and mondo so that 
everything matches, and I think that it's going to work in gui mode! 
That's really something special, as up until now I've not been able to 
do it. I'm going to do a bit more testing on both machines, and then 
put the files up for download so that folks can get them.

Thanks for the info. It really helps for those folks that like the gui.
Mike

scratchdir & tempdir locations?

Given that...

 1. my / partition is only 500MB,
 2. and my filesystem consumes ~1.4GB, and
 3. my /tmp partition has ~1GB of free-space.

Should I set the -T & -S options to /tmp?
