From: Mark H Weaver <mhw <at> netris.org> To: bug-guix <at> gnu.org Subject: "herd restart term-tty2" caused *all* processes to be killed Date: Sun, 02 Dec 2018 20:16:29 -0500
After killing a Wayland 'gnome-session' that I had launched from the
command-line on tty2, the login prompt did not return as it normally
does.
I decided to try "herd restart term-tty2" to see if that would help.
That turned out to be a serious mistake. It caused TERM to be sent to
all processes, most filesystems to be unmounted, and many (all?) core
services to be stopped. This left my system in a unusuable state,
besides being able to switch between otherwise unresponsive text virtual
terminals and issue SysRq commands.
I took a picture of the display before resetting the machine.
Fortunately I always use text virtual terminals for my root shells.
Here's a hand-typed approximation of what shepherd printed to the
console:

The 'xxxx' are of course more digits that I was too lazy to type.
I would not have expected 'term-tty2' to have many dependents, except
possibly for 'console-font-tty2'. It was a great surprise that
restarting it caused so many other core services to be stopped.
Any idea what went wrong here?

Per ‘guix system shepherd-graph desktop.tmpl’, the only dependent of ‘term-tty2’ is ‘console-font-tty2’. I just tried in a desktop.tmpl VM and only ‘console-font-tty2’ is restarted (screenshot attached.) Same on my laptop, which uses Xorg but not GNOME. Could it be something with the Wayland-related services? Could you check ‘guix system shepherd-graph’ on your config? Thanks, Ludo’.

I did so, and it shows that the only dependent of 'term-tty2' is
'console-font-tty2', as expected.
I've attached my OS config, in case it contains any clues.
Thanks,
Mark
