[pkg-fso-maint] Kernel Oops in syslog associated with wicd

Hello, my neo was behaving strangely since the last few reboots. Apps were behaving
normally per se, but I could not use the openmoko panel any more or the matchbox-keyboard,
which would not react, as if the desktop bus somehow was frozen. When I clicked the wrong
thing, then the whole machine froze, if I am not erroneous and was too early in removing
the battery.

I eventually installed the syslog daemon to get some more insights. Somehow I feel that
this would be good to be available by default, maybe via some TASKS=debug directive in the
installer(?), to a larger user base until the situation has stabelised a bit more. Or is
the output in dmesg sufficient? I could not find the oops in there. Would the provisioning
of ksymoops and/or kerneloops be beneficial to spot issues earlier/better?

The problem went a away with a deinstallation of wicd (the other packages installed for
wicd are still there), i.e. I can change between applications again and there is no freeze
yet. Below two oopses with two different 2.6.28 kernels.

Hoping this info to be helpful for someone and gratefully accept suggestions for improving
on the bug report

Steffen (still no GPS fixings with zhone or tangogps)


With kernel version 20090105.git69b2aa26-3, the machine was started at
