Troubles relocating in VirtualBox Haiku Guest

[kallisti5]

I've seen this problem off and on for the last few months and finally decided to submit a bug on it.

This bug was spawned by running installoptionalpackages under VirtualBox.

VB settings:   two cpu's
               768MB Memory
               enable IO APIC

runtime_loader: /boot/system/lib/libroot.so: Troubles relocating: Operation not allowed
/bin/installoptionalpacakges: line 296: [: 5: unary operator
(repeat)

The error above was seen while running 'installoptionalpackages -a Vim'

The really strange thing is that 5 minutes later, it worked great without the runtime_loader errors.

almost forgot,

I don't think this is a runtime loader problem. I'd say either some weird/defective executable is invoked, someone is overwriting a library while it is being used, or the kernel messes something up. Hard to guess anything with the available information. I can't reproduce the issue. Please enable kernel tracing for syscalls, teams, and runtime loader. The tracing entries of the failing team would be of interest. You can find the team/thread by checking the runtime loader tracing output, e.g. traced 0 -50 -1 #rld: and then print all tracing entries for that thread (traced 0 -1000 -1 thread <id>). The kernel debugger output should end up in the syslog.

Weeel, thats pain. I will see if I can reproduce this issue this evening and if I can do as bonefish said.

in the meantime... here is more runtime related errors that randomly croped up...

KERN: runtime_loader: /boot/system/lib/libstdc++.r4.so: Could not resolve symbol '__ti9exception'
KERN: runtime_loader: /boot/system/lib/libstdc++.r4.so: Troubles relocating: Symbol not found
KERN: runtime_loader: /boot/system/add-ons/locale/catalogs/zeta: Could not resolve symbol '__ti13BCatalogAddOn'
KERN: runtime_loader: /boot/system/add-ons/locale/catalogs/zeta: Troubles relocating: Symbol not found

The errors above were all see while running stock Haiku programs (and WebPositive) not sure whats up with the zeta references.

ok, this is not limited to VirtualBox guests... This was a clean install of the raw gcc2-hybrid image on a Dell OptiPlex GX270

This was the very first command I ran after installation to the hard disk from a usb stick...

Firefox did however install ok.. weird

is the "/bin/installoptionalpacakges: line 296: [: 5: unary operator" line normal behavior?

Ah, the 'unary operator' is a parsing error in installoptionalpackage, which i'll work on now.

For the curious, this is partial output of parsing jam into bash, the if test for HAIKU_INCLUDE_SOURCES isn't handled correctly.

tmp/install-optpkg.sh:240

if [ "SomeText" != BeZillaBrowser ] ; then
if [ ${TARGET_ARCH} != x86 ] ; then
echo "No optional package BeZillaBrowser available for ${TARGET_ARCH}" ;

hrev36204 fixes the unary operator aspect. Giving up ownership as that error shouldn't be related to the relocation errors. Do they still happen?

[kallisti5]

verified that both the the unary operator errors (even after hrev36204) and libroot relocation errors still happen in VirtualBox 3.1.6

see screenshot attached.

[mmadia]

To note, kallisti & I had an IRC debugging session. The unary operator errors are from a if [ $integer -eq $nonintegerOrEmptyVariable ] ; . Though, it is not 100% reproducible, which leads us to believe the error being a subtle bug in VBox.

[kallisti5]

i think this can be called resolved... Haven't seen this issue on recent nightlies on virtual or real hardware.
