Build 200407111800 (internal) Java Desktop System 2 (Quicksilver) build 09 1) Run installer 2) Go to JDK selection panel 3) Choose JDK and press Next 4) ERROR: installer freezes. You have to kill the process.
Yes reproducible on given machine.
Issue #5073268 is filed to Bugtraq against JDK.
Created attachment 16218 [details] Test case to reproduce problem
Attached test case executes process with command "sh -c df /home/ms124458". But command Process.waitFor never returns. Folder must be on nfs mount. It happens on JDS with JDK 1.4.2_04, JDK 1.4.2_05, JDK 1.5.0 build 57.
*** Issue 44098 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Just a notice Marku, the previous installer worked well on JDS Quicksilver (this issue), but it failed on issue #44098. It seems strange to me that it's a duplicate now.
There is not enough info in issue #44098 to confirm or reject. Actually in this issue command 'df' report disk space usage ie. it can be used to check free (available) space. And it corresponds to description in issue #44098.
Problem is that command "df <nfs home dir>" does not finish on given machine with JDS. Need to find if it is problem of just given machine configuration/installation or general JDS problem. The same command on the same NFS folder (server) works fine from Solaris 9 and RH 8/9. Workaround is to install product elsewhere (not nfs directory but local disk) or use zip. (unzip zip archive, do not use installer). Note: If you this issue #44098 is different issue you can reopen it. (But as I said we have no reproducible case for it so we cannot say.)
This bug doesn't have workaround for mobility because we cannot get fully functional ide simply unzipping from zip file. It is necessary to use installer.I tested mobility (Radegast release) installer on 2 machines with jds2.0 ( qa-quicksilver-s1 and tbrandalik-ws) and on both installation hangs. df command runs ok
Please run df command on target installation folder on target machine. If it works fine let me know. I need installation jar so I am able to run it with java to get thread dump to find where it hangs. It can be simply the same hang with another command. There is debug command line option to print what external processes are executed by installer. Please let me know what installer do you use and how can I get it. What is your JDK and what is your target directory?
It is weird: This time it hangs on "mount" command only from java (I have the same simple example with "sh -c mount" command when nfs automount is on osprey. It is enough when I open another shell and make "cd /net/osprey". After that java example and installer hangs. Many disks are mounted from osprey. mount command from command line works fine.
I can reproduce it also from RH9 when I make cd /net/ospray to get many mounts first. So it is not specific to JDS.
It is bug in InstallShield. IS hangs when executing external process which generates more output. (More than 8KB in this case.) I will attach thread dump.
Created attachment 16429 [details] Thread dump
this is related to too many mount points not JDS per se. I changed the subject line. This is an confirmed bug in IS. We can't work around it. Candidate for waiver and a note in INSTALL guide
added 40-waiver-candidate. This is a bug in InstallShield, we can't workaround it in code. Suggested workaround for users: the big number of mount points is usually created by the automounter daemon. Before running the installer, log in as root and temporarily stop the daemon.
InstallShield company just released InstallShield X / SP2 which fixed this bug. We seriously consider upgrading from InstallShield Multiplatform 5 to IS X to get this bug fixed. For beta1 it's too late. We'll have to wait for beta2 if we want to upgrade
*** Issue 47914 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
we found the way to hackaround the bug in IS. Please verify the fix w/ installers from tonight's build, on linux all installers: IDE, Mobility and JDK bundle
NB installer and JDK bundle, build 200409011800, is working on system with JDS 2, where bug has been reproduced.
then mark this as verified and close the bug
I will test the latest Mobility installer and then mark as verified.
Verified Mobility installer Build040902
