SRS 5.4, OL6, gdm-multiseat and console

user12608663Mar 27 2013
Seeing the following and wondered if it is particular to my installation?

Automount of USB drives no longer works from console
$ ck-list-sessions
Session8:
unix-user = '12345678'
realname = 'joe'
seat = 'StaticSeat1'
session-type = ''
display-type = 'Local'
open = 'TRUE'
active = 'FALSE' <== Seems to be the problem
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty1'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = 'TRUE'

switch-user to the same user and active goes to TRUE and USB drives automount again.

However, that's not a good workaround as logging out from the switch-user session seems to cause ConsoleKit to crash.
Screen goes to black with a flashing cursor (i.e. no greeter screen).

Depending on your version of Oracle (this feature was added in 10g), you can use: DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE.

The following article highlights its abilities: [PL/SQL: Tracing Lines|http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/05-mar/o25plsql.html|PL/SQL: Tracing Lines]

Simple example:
SQL &gt; edit
Wrote file sqlplus_buffer.sql

  1  DECLARE
  2     bad_number      NUMBER;
  3  BEGIN
  4     bad_number := TO_NUMBER('A');
  5  EXCEPTION
  6  WHEN OTHERS THEN
  7     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE);
  8     RAISE;
  9* END;
SQL &gt; /
ORA-06512: at line 4

DECLARE
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at line 8
Hope this helps!

Hi Sam,

Check this out, maybe you can use parts of it.

Peter,

That's the same article I linked to in my response :)

Hi Centinul,

I know, but your post wasn't there :-)

I guess the timestamp is from when you start your reply, maybe it took 7-8 minutes to write your reply?

- Just guessing

Regards
Peter

edit: maybe it's the other way round, I took 7-8 minutes reading through the article, meanwhile you posted.
Nevertheless, two people referring to the same article means it must be good ;-)

You make a good point! :) Happy Holidays!

Just out of interest, what do you use SQLCODE for? I see it logged everywhere but I've never seen the information used for anything. Do you have reports that break down errors by category or something?
554899
Well, I agree SQLERRM includes the Oracle error number and probably Its not required to log it separate.

But, if I have a table/report which says my application database code threw these errors, I or someone else can refer to only error code if he wants to.

So, It's just an extra piece of information (with a redundancy, yeah, you are right!! ).

Thanks for reply. Impressive and useful article.

Yet again, I would like to know if I can simply log into an error log table the entries as follows-
SQLCODE | Line_No | SQLERRM
        |         |
        |         |
        |         |

And have you ever referred only to the error code?

Regarding line number, Steven Feuerstein's solution in the article linked above is to parse the text using his package "bt", for which he provides the source code.

...sometimes. It was when a report was required from someone stating what all errors occurred over a period of time. They didn't want the description. I don't know how they consume it but I'm getting your point what's the use of logging error code separate if error code doesn't make sense without its description.

...I meant to ask if there is a simpler way. That thing (bt) works fine.

I don't think there is a built-in way to get the line number.

btw you can use a ">" character at the start of a line for quoting, for example

{noformat}>{noformat} a line like this

becomes
a line like this

&gt; btw you can use a "&gt;" character at the start of a line for quoting, for example


:D Thanks William.
