Having upgraded to the above package versions, /etc/init.d/tigervnc.1 start results in a hang. I removed the service from init and attempted to start it manually after a reboot, and saw the following output: hazel ~ # /etc/init.d/tigervnc.1 start * Executing: /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/tigervnc start * Executing: /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/user start * Starting user.robin ... * supervise-daemon: fopen `/var/run/supervise-user.robin.pid': No such file or directory * Detaching to start `/usr/libexec/rc/bin/openrc-user' [ ok ] * Executing: /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/user stop * Stopping user.robin ... [The command does not return; it hangs interminably, or for >3-4 minutes at least.] This is a headless server. If I first login via SSH as the user the service runs as on another terminal, then the initscript starts successfully (I assume because this "supervisor-daemon" service, which is new to me, has been started for the user). hazel ~ # /etc/init.d/tigervnc.1 start * Executing: /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /usr/libexec/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/tigervnc start * There are no passwords defined for user robin.

navi, can you take a look?
On my system, I "fixed" tigervnc by adding =sys-apps/openrc-0.61 to package.mask (downgraded to 0.56). Downgrading tigervnc had no effect.
okay two things were happening here: the tigervnc script calls `runuser`, which starts a pam session, and thus starts the user services for said user (expected behaviour, desired? i dunno), but then: * a bug in openrc-run.c:svc_exec prevented the 60 timeout to stop * and more importantly, runuser sets a signal mask for SIGCHLD, and openrc-run wasn't re-setting the sigprocmask at the start so, it would never get the SIGCHLD, and never reap the shell process running the stop function. fix: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/841 i'll test and probably merge it by tomorrow
to the reporter, or anyone else who can reproduce, please try https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/841. you can put it in /etc/portage/patches/sys-apps/openrc/signals.patch after downloading from https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/841.patch, then rebuild openrc-0.61 or -9999
Patch working here, manual and rc starts working fine.
Patch works for me too. This remember me why I downgraded to openrc-0.56. Tested with tigervnc-0.14 who got the issue as well. I will update tigervnc to the latest tonight and test it tomorrow.
openrc-0.62 includes the patch, should be fixed there
