space in root dir name "SystemTap GUI"

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 20:57:07 -0000

It appears that the space in root dir name "SystemTap GUI" breaks the tool on Linux (bash shell); the tool is installed from the pre-build tar file; when run, the systemtapgui reports an error; the log is as follows:

The space seems to be the reason why it cannot find the library:

Running a job in the background doesn't show on status line

Rachel Rodgers — Tue, 22 May 2007 17:10:02 -0000

When a Job is run, it brings up a dialog that has a "Run in Background" button. In Eclipse, when this is clicked, the job progress is moved to the status line so the user can see it and bring the dialog up again. For some unknown reason, this doesn't work for us, the job will still run in the background, but the user can't get the dialog back or see progress.

The current work-around to this is to show the Progress perspective on startup, so the user can still see jobs that are running in the background.

Status line dosen't work

Rachel Rodgers — Tue, 22 May 2007 17:01:30 -0000

Filling in the "fillStatusLine" method in the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor doesn't appear to do anything.

Saving incorrect password requires restart

Rachel Rodgers — Tue, 22 May 2007 16:57:56 -0000

If the "Save SUDO Password" option is chosen and the user enters the wrong password, the password is not reset. I have tried fixing this by resetting the password when the "Sorry, try again." message appears, but that message never shows up in the errorGobbler or inputGobbler in the Command.
There are two possible reasons for this:
1. The try again message is written to a stream that is not being read.
2. There is code somewhere that is doing something to this message that I can't locate.

Stopping script doesn't remove kernel module

Rachel Rodgers — Tue, 01 May 2007 20:04:08 -0000

When you stop a script using the "Stop running script" button, then try running the script again you get: insmod: error inserting '/tmp/stapKAsdq5/stap_5d016e0582aa9b9311adb36961ec6540_1107.ko': -1 File exists
ERROR, couldn't insmod probe module /tmp/stapKAsdq5/stap_5d016e0582aa9b9311adb36961ec6540_1107.ko
I believe this is because stopping the script using this button doesn't remove the kernel module associated with the script.

Editing files that don't end in .stp

Rachel Rodgers — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 23:02:31 -0000

If you try to add a probe or function to a file that doesn't end in .stp, it does nothing, making it seem like the program is broken.

Says to check error log when errors aren't being logged

Rachel Rodgers — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 22:59:13 -0000

When the program crashed it said to check the error log for more information, but logging was not turned on, so there was nothing in the error log. It should either always log fatal errors, or not tell you to look in the log when logging is not on.

Crashes on shutdown

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 01:46:11 -0000

The program will crash when it is shutdown if you change perspectives. An error message will come up and the program will die. This is not serious since the program was being closed anyway, but looks bad, and is annoying. It does not appear to have any effect when running the application the next time.

To recreate: open the application, change to a different perspective, then close.

Add Filter/Remove Filter functionality not available

Tom Zanussi — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 20:56:17 -0000

Right-clicking on the Data View table, the Add/Remove
menu items aren't displayed, nor are they available in
any drop-down menu.

View Definition sometimes gets it wrong

Tom Zanussi — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 15:01:24 -0000

example - view definition for nfs.aop.commit write ends
up showing nfs.aop.entries instead of the commit_write
code. commit_write is in the list of aop.entries, and
the commit_write line there is where the cursor stops.
Looks like it just goes to the place it finds the
first hit rather than doing more checking.
