Hello,
I have recently moved over to opensuse 11.4 (never used any Linux before), I have installed all updates and am using the latest KDE. (I am using a laptop, not sure if this is relevant)
I have found using the system fairly easy and found all the help I need either here, or out on the net.
However, I cannot find much information about the above error message that I sometimes get. I have only noticed this error occasionally when I resume from sleep mode, or when I turn the computer off. I haven’t seen the message anywhere else (pop up window, konsole etc)
Sometimes the skipped probes is as high as 70, other times as low as 10.
I don’t know what it is scanning(?)
Can anyone help identify this for me?
Many thanks.
I am seeing more of these error messages (at resumption from sleep, or at shut down)
WARNING: Errors 0 Skipped Probes 26
I cannot find information on it, and cannot find anything on my system that may be doing this.
Could someone please help identify this for me, it worries me.
I’m not sure if I have posted in the wrong page, or not explained myself properly.
but don’t know how to help more…hang around (there are LOTS smarter
than me)

I have been seeing the same message recently, and occasionally at shutdown instead of a list of processes stopping, I get a console log-in prompt before the PC shuts down.

ok ‘rafte22’ and ‘BungleJones’ why don’t both of you give us a rundown
on your hardware and software…cause i guess you two are sharing a
bug in the shutdown (or something) script and the devs will wanna know
where, how and under what conditions this bug skips probe handlers, so:
operating system/version/bits?
format install or upgrade from previous or other distro? saving home?
fully updated from only oss, non-oss, update and packman?
any installs from build service/community repos? which/what?
any downloads from factory, playground or Tumbleweed?
hardware make/model?
CPU maker/cores, etc
amount of RAM
graphics/driver?
latest bios?
number of drives and type, file systems…any USB drives attached?
what file systems on those?
anything else which might set your system apart from the hundreds of
thousands of openSUSE’s running without this problem??
soon, i think one of you will need to visit bugzilla to begin the
report…and, then the other will need to add their details…

I would like to know where they are seeing those messages. Pop up, window,
message log? Is that the full message? If it is the message log, some
context would be interesting. Or a photo if nothing else.

Upon shutdown at the very end of the the process, before the power goes off for the warning! errors 0 skipped probes xx message and
If I knew how to save a screenshot when the PC is being shutdown and the power goes off, I would post one.
Can’t find it in any message logs. Is there a shutdown message?
Did find some interesting garbage in /var/log like 41 firewall bz2 files with every other day as the date of the file. dating from 02/05/2011 until today, among other thing I wonder If I need to keep. But that’s another topic.
I’ll work on the rundown of hardware and software. May be awhile. I’m trying to remember what was installed just prior to seeing the warning! message. Guess I should document every change made.
The message only is visible briefly when the laptop resumes from sleep, just before it asks for your password. Also when I shut the laptop down, it freezes and displays the message (I simply press enter then hit the power button and the shut down procedure carries on as normal). I don’t think I can screenshot and of these. I have tried looking in Konsole, and there is no notification or pop up window.
I fresh installed (after complete format) openSUSE 11.4 from .iso DVD (official website), and am using latest KDE (4.6)
I have installed all updates available through ‘yast’, and all additional software through ‘software management’
I have installed Hydrogen, clamav, Klamav, google chrome, python (bits and pieces)
I have had amor installed.
I have no scheduled tasks.
System was installed 3 weeks ago, so not much has changed yet.
Other software was installed after the messages began appearing.
I have 2GHz cpu, 2GB RAM, 3GB Swap, on board sound and graphics, using wireless, ASUS laptop.
I can supply more detailed information. My computing knowledge isn’t too bad, it’s my linux knowledge that lacks.

ok, i understand the warning appears on the screen as one line in that
scrolling text visible during shutdown…
both of you need to issue the following command in a terminal, and
copy/paste it back to this thread
uname -a
@Carlos, what else before they log their bug?

me too…i have mostly no idea what is causing the skipped probes…

agree
ok you two: suggest that the next time you see this warning you note the
date/time, and then next look in the cited log file at the date/time of
the event (note the log time is most likely NOT the same as the clock on
your wall) and see what you can find there that might give a clue…
next step is file a bug…one of you file and the other adds specific
information to support…
and, when you have a URL link to the bug, post it back to this thread so
those who google in on the similar warning message can also add to the
bug and track its progress…

Sure, what log file would that be? I looked at all of them and didn’t see any related messages. I think I asked what log file the shutdown messages are found in. I could be mistaken.
No big deal, just wanted to note that there was more than one user seeing that message.

i’d expect, if there is anything relevant, it would be in the one Carlos
named, /var/log/messages
however, i am guessing…i’d think the devs could give a better
answer…on IRC, a mail list…or as the result of a bug report they
might ask to see some other log…

Yes, till syslog is stopped. If more is needed, the rest is dumped to the
screen, and lost. It is possible to stop the process for a while and take a
photo (with a camera). For this you need to edit the scripts, just before
the poweroff line.
Another method is to hook a real serial port in the machine to another
machine and boot the kernel with a special option that logs everything
there. No, a serial port on a usb dongle is not usable for this except on
the listening machine.

It’s not a systemtap warning that ordinary users should be made to read or understand. The OS script that starts up stap should probably just redirect stderr to /dev/null.

if anyone with the problem ever takes the time to post a bug, then and
only then will both the problem and your apparently logical (and easy)
‘fix’ get to the devs (while it is only they who can solve this problem,
they steadfastly refuse to come here looking for things to fix…)
proves my old saying: You can lead horses to water but ya’can’t make’em
post to bugzilla!
