Hi
i recently put my hands on an AMD64 machine, so i had the chance to run
the installer from a chroot and i noticed that the crash produces this log
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
(!) [ 5905: 0.000] --> Caught signal 6 (unknown origin) <--
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
Aborted
adding this library (and full libc) to the chroot prevents the crash.
Try this by yourself
- boot an amd64 image with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt
- proceed with installation process until full libc6 is unpacked
- wget libgcc_s.so.1 into the installer
- export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk
- debian-installer
now you should be able to chvt without crashing anymore.
Thanks for finding this bug!
I didn't know that you could change the frontend on the fly.
So you interrupted it right after installing the libc and
restarted after changing the frontend?
I think this starts two main-menu instances in parallel, but one could
set global the DEBIAN_FRONTEND variable and then kill mainmenu (wrapped)
to see if it's possible having one single main-menu instance running.
cheers and thanks for all your efforts in debugging this :)
