2009-10-27 13:24:13 Michael Vogt summary update-manager crashes on dist-upgrade when tmp is mounted "noexec" update-manager exits on dist-upgrade when tmp is mounted "noexec" and gives useless error message
2009-10-28 13:12:21 Michael Vogt description Binary package hint: update-manager Today I tried to upgrade my system from 9.04 to 9.10 RC via update-manager -d. When I clicked the button for the dist-upgrade, I got the release notes and then a dialog which sais it's downloading 2 files. After that, update-manager just crashed, without any notice. Steps to reproduce: run update-manager -d click the "Upgrade" button in the top right. click "Upgrade" in the dialog showing the release notes. enter your password when asked for it. What should happen: the system is upgraded to the new distribution release, or a proper error message is shown. What actually happens: update-manager crashes. When I run update-manager -d from the command line, this is the output: $ update-manager -d extracting 'karmic.tar.gz' authenticate 'karmic.tar.gz' against 'karmic.tar.gz.gpg' /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/dbus/connection.py:242: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) sudo: unable to execute /tmp/tmpx8L0A4/karmic: Permission denied Since it said something about permissions, I also tried to run it as root directly from the command line instead of entering my password when update-manager asks for it. This is the output: $ sudo update-manager -d extracting 'karmic.tar.gz' authenticate 'karmic.tar.gz' against 'karmic.tar.gz.gpg' /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/dbus/connection.py:242: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/DistUpgradeFetcher.py:79: GtkWarning: gtk_scrolled_window_add: assertion `bin->child == NULL' failed self.parent.scrolled_notes.add(textview_release_notes) extracting 'karmic.tar.gz' authenticate 'karmic.tar.gz' against 'karmic.tar.gz.gpg' But now I also got an error message in the GUI: Can not run the upgrade This usually is caused by a system were /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again. This error message is right, I do have /tmp mounted with noexec. The problem is that it doesn't show up when I don't run update-manager as root, so many users will not know what's the problem when their upgrade fails.
