colord is dumping core every few seconds

Batou · 2017-06-03 16:41:43

I noticed that my disk space was shrinking fast and after looking at the journal, I noticed a TON of these messages:

I've had over 20GB of colord-sane coredumps.

It all started after the upgrade to 4.11.3 kernel.

Anyone have some ideas how to go about fixing this?

Yeah, my system was getting spammed too. If you need the space back, the core dumps are at /var/lib/systemd/coredump.
If you never use coredumps, you can control their storage by adjusting /etc/systemd/coredump.conf
I use i3, note gnome or kde, so I just disabled colord without any noticeable issues.

Batou · 2017-06-03 21:40:24

Thanks guys! So I guess the solution is to disable colord and wait for openssl/sane/colord to get updated...

loqs · 2017-06-03 21:46:37

openssl just needs this patch https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull … c74794a8c4 no update to sane or colord required and the issue is resolved for me.

does it also need the ca-dir.patch that was with the e version in ABS?
when i looked in the f version SRC at that file, it looked like it wasn't ca-dir patched, so i included it and got "unreversed patch" message, i ignored and patched anyway as noticed without it, it didn't run the test recipes, but one of the tests fails so package fails to build (it did build without the ca-dir.patch). thanks

It passed the test recipe this time. I had rolled sane back to previous version prior to trying this. Yesterday during the build I had switched to other pc via k-v-m switcher and got a coredump switching back that looked like the usb ports switching affected one of the test recipes. I reran it today without switching away and all ran without error. I used skippgpcheck because I manually edited /openssl/crypto/err/err.c file in the tarball instead of patching, hence you don't see that patch in my PKGBUILD:

with the patched openssl package installed and sane updated to current, no longer getting colord-sane coredumps. You answered my question though, yes, include the ca-dir.patch, thank you!
EDIT: i brought the patch in proper, rc'd the key and reran makepkg and all signed good package and no errors.

This patch doesn't solve the problem for me.
Still get the colord-sane coredump as mentioned in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/54205 and
https://github.com/hughsie/colord/issues/38
Only downgrade sane to 1.0.25-2 (from 1.0.27-1) solved it until now.

loqs · 2017-06-05 22:35:33

@lfcr this contradicts the package maintainers own testing linked from the bug report https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/3584 and two others testing in this thread.
I suggest you post your findings on the bug report including a backtrace from the coredump with and without the patched openssl installed, evidence the patched package was installed
and all relevant services were restarted after the installation.

lfcr · 2017-06-06 09:20:17

Thanks @loqs, mea culpa, I redo and found my mistake. My patched err.c was not correct. Ok now.
