Just setup a new Jenkins slave running on Debian 6/Squeeze. Did the simple SSH method and everything went quite smoothly. Now I have configured one of my builds to use this new slave with a very odd effect. That is that there are long delays periodically in the build.
Here is some sample output: Building remotely on dcc-jenkins-slave <http://intouch-ci:8080/jenkins/computer/dcc-jenkins-slave> in workspace /home/intouch/jenkins_work/workspace/intouch-qa Checkout:intouch-qa / /home/intouch/jenkins_work/workspace/intouch-qa - hudson.remoting.Channel@41cc3f28:dcc-jenkins-slave Using strategy: Default Last Built Revision: Revision 29258d9508c3cf5a7b8a6e867d1e18ef88e9408d (origin/nexus) *<<< 10 MINUTE DELAY HERE >>>* Fetching changes from 1 remote Git repository Fetching upstream changes from ssh://g...@github.com/foo/bar Commencing build of Revision 29258d9508c3cf5a7b8a6e867d1e18ef88e9408d (origin/nexus) Checking out Revision 29258d9508c3cf5a7b8a6e867d1e18ef88e9408d (origin/nexus) Starting xvnc [intouch-qa] $ vncserver :11 -geometry 800x600 New 'X' desktop is jenkins-slave:11 Starting applications specified in /home/intouch/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/intouch/.vnc/jenkins-slave:11.log Parsing POMs *<<< 10 MINUTE DELAY HERE >>>* etc... Does anybody have any ideas what could be going on here? I don't see any errors anywhere. The slave Debian install is running in a virtual machine (OpenVZ) if that helps.
