For the last week I had a number of really, really annoying problems with openSUSE 11.1 - ones which had me wondering why there weren't more bug reports, blog postings, rants etc. The most prominent of these problems were:
- jexec service causing boot process to hang every so often
- NetworkManager not started automatically - rcnetwork start necessary
- not possible to mount usb sticks (even mount hangs indefinitely)
- unmounting fuse during shutdown takes way too long
After some reading on the issue, I stumbled on
this post in the openSUSE forum. After a lot of talk about HAL rules etc, the suggestion was made to disable jexec in the YaST runlevel editor. Once I disabled jexec and java.binfmt_misc and rebooted the system, all of the above problems disappeared.
For anyone wondering what it is about jexec that makes it such a fundamental system component, check out
this issue on Sun's website. I can definitely do without it.
