• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description silverwerwolf13 2014-06-25 19:00:43 UTC]

Emacs seems to have a sand box error well compilling that stops it coold and leaves sandbox running so i have to relog in

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.'emerge emacs --ask'

(NOTE: I tried setting pakage.use in several ways including default and -*)
Actual Results:  
It seemed to compile till it hit the part in the first screen shot. Atempting the comand without reloging in will make get the results in the second screen shot.

(NOTE: The ^X as a misteke that has no effect and the ^C was so you could see what it dose when I try to make it stop.)

Expected Results:  
Emacs should emerge normally.

Added.

I cannot reproduce the problem.

What version of setfattr is installed on your system? ("/bin/setfattr --version" to find out.)

What happens if you call setfattr manually, like this:
$ touch /var/tmp/conftest.tmp
$ /bin/setfattr -n user.pax.flags /var/tmp/conftest.tmp

"setfattr 2.4.47"

setfattr seems to lock up in the same way as Emacs.

What type of filesystem is /var/tmp/ on?

ext3

This doesn't look like a problem in Emacs, therefore reassigning to base-system.

[Comment 14 SpanKY 2014-11-15 08:00:12 UTC]

please go into your /var/tmp/portage/ dir and run the same command:
  touch foo
  setfattr -n user.pax.flags foo

if that hangs, then run it through strace:
  strace -f -o log -s 4096 -v setfattr -n user.pax.flags foo

and then attach that log file here
