Persistent error with rpm-ostree

androth · July 31, 2022, 8:47pm

Ever since I installed the nvidia drivers, I’m getting a persistent error with rpm-ostree the first time I try to install a new package:

error: Running %prein for akmods: bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process killed by signal 6; run journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(akmods.prein)' for more information

When I run the command again, the install proceeds without this error. While it’s not system breaking (afaik), it is an annoyance I want to remove. Does anyone know what is going on with this error? It has something to do with groups.
I did have to go through this issue tracker to be able to install nvidia drivers and did the edits suggested there.

Fedora 36 Silverblue rpm-ostree install of rpmfusion Nvidia driver fails with error: Running %post for akmod-nvidia

bug help wanted

### Description I have two workstations with Fedora 36 Silverblue. One of them …has a 6 core, 12 thread Intel cpu, and the other, a 16 core 32 thread AMD cpu. Both use Nvidia graphics cards. On the 16 core machine only, while attempting to `rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda` drivers, and on all subsequence uses of `rpm-ostree install` with any other package, the install fails with an error. Before attempting to install nvidia drivers, other packages installed with `rpm-ostree install package` succeed without errors. I can work around the error (and stop it from showing) by using a short bash script to disable some of the CPU cores on the 16 core computer. Imust run the script before every use of `rpm-ostree install`. The error never occurs when carrying out the same steps on the 6 core computer. The only difference being, that computer has an older graphics card, and so must `rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia-470xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-cuda` instead. ### To Reproduce Please describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug: 1. Use a 16 Core CPU (mine is a 16 core AMD Threadripper 1950x, GPU is a GTX 1080 Ti). Try other high core count CPUs if a 16 isn't available. 2. Fresh install of Fedora 36 Silverblue. 3. Install all available updates `rpm-ostree update` 4. Try installing a layered package with `rpm-ostree install htop` (htop as an example) 5. Note the install should finish without issue. You will be prompted to reboot with `systemctl reboot`. 6. Add rpm-fusion repository `sudo rpm-ostree install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm`. Detailed instructions at [https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration](https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration) 7. Install Nvidia drivers `sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda` 8. Notice the install ends with an error message (see screenshots section for full terminal output and subsequent journal output of this error) ```bash error: Running %post for akmod-nvidia: bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process killed by signal 1; run `journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(akmod-nvidia.post)'` for more information ``` 9. Try disabling some CPU cores with the following script. I found the script over at Fedora Discussion from a Silverblue 31 issue. [https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-silverblue-31-installing-nvidia-drivers-fails/14160](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-silverblue-31-installing-nvidia-drivers-fails/14160) ```bash #!/bin/sh do_enable="$1" cpu_from="$2" cpu_to="$3" flag=0 if [ "$do_enable" = true ]; then flag=1 elif [ ! "$do_enable" = false ]; then echo "do_enable must be bool. It's value is $do_enable." exit 1 fi for ((i="$cpu_from"; i<="$cpu_to"; i++)); do echo "$flag" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu"$i"/online done ``` 10. Paste the script into a shell file called `disable-threads.sh` and make it executable `chmod +x disable-threads.sh`. 11. Run the script from the terminal. For a 32 thread CPU, you can switch off all but 8 threads by running with the following arguments `sudo ./dissable-threads.sh false 9 31`. (confirm in System Monitor Resources tab) 12. Repeat the attempt to install with `rpm-ostree install package` and it should complete without the error. 13. Don't forget (assuming your nvidia install was successful) to run the final command from rpmfusion to load the correct kernel `sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau --append=modprobe.blacklist=nouveau --append=nvidia-drm.modeset=1` 14. Reboot to complete the installation and all your threads should be active again. ### Expected behavior No error should interrupt the nvidia driver install on the 16 core computer. All subsequent uses of `rpm-ostree install package` should also not fail with the same error. The behaviour of the 16 core computer should match the 6 core computer, where the error never appears. ### Screenshots / Terminal Output #### Fresh Fedora 36 Silverblue install with updates done ``` [user@fedora ~]$ rpm-ostree status State: idle Deployments: ● fedora:fedora/36/x86_64/silverblue Version: 36.20220521.0 (2022-05-21T00:42:36Z) Commit: 3d384f53a1a46d53a06e9eccc3f52a7a0587cb8147b397298559a59f113a1fed GPGSignature: Valid signature by 53DED2CB922D8B8D9E63FD18999F7CBF38AB71F4 ``` #### Install a layered package, eg; htop ``` [user@fedora ~]$ rpm-ostree install htop Checking out tree 3d384f5... done Enabled rpm-md repositories: fedora-cisco-openh264 fedora-modular updates-modular updates fedora phracek-PyCharm google-chrome rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver rpmfusion-nonfree-steam updates-archive Importing rpm-md... done rpm-md repo 'fedora-cisco-openh264' (cached); generated: 2022-04-07T16:52:38Z solvables: 4 rpm-md repo 'fedora-modular' (cached); generated: 2022-05-04T21:12:01Z solvables: 825 rpm-md repo 'updates-modular' (cached); generated: 2022-05-16T00:18:23Z solvables: 1129 rpm-md repo 'updates' (cached); generated: 2022-05-21T01:01:09Z solvables: 9741 rpm-md repo 'fedora' (cached); generated: 2022-05-04T21:16:11Z solvables: 67992 rpm-md repo 'phracek-PyCharm' (cached); generated: 2022-05-13T04:23:58Z solvables: 5 rpm-md repo 'google-chrome' (cached); generated: 2022-05-19T17:44:58Z solvables: 3 rpm-md repo 'rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver' (cached); generated: 2022-05-13T09:29:28Z solvables: 29 rpm-md repo 'rpmfusion-nonfree-steam' (cached); generated: 2022-02-13T17:48:12Z solvables: 2 rpm-md repo 'updates-archive' (cached); generated: 2022-05-21T02:57:21Z solvables: 8932 Resolving dependencies... done Will download: 1 package (184.3 kB) Downloading from 'updates'... done Importing packages... done Checking out packages... done Running pre scripts... done Running post scripts... done Running posttrans scripts... done Writing rpmdb... done Writing OSTree commit... done Staging deployment... done Added: htop-3.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64 Changes queued for next boot.
