Yikes. Yes obviously this is an issue I want to fix. > The bug was notified upstream by someone else, with a proposed patch: > https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/1381 > > I marked the bug as "important" because the flooding of the home > partition can cause important nuisances.

I think the "important" severity is correct, IMHO. (If not higher, as it can cause data loss as you experienced.) >From the upstream response it sounds like they plan to use a broader fix than the currently proposed patch, so for Debian proper I'm more likely going to wait for their chosen fix. For Jessie (which is what t looks like you're mainly using) any fix will have to wait for a point release, which happens about every three months after the release. That's too long to wait IMHO so I have an alternative available if you want to try it. Besides maintaining the Mumble package in Debian I also maintain a "fully embedded codec" version in my own personal repository of Debian packages -- and I've included the current patch for this problem in that package for version 1.2.8-2+0cdu0 (for Sid and Jessie so far), if you want to try it. http://debian-packages.coredump.us/ to load the package without installing the repo, the Mumble packages are here: http://debian-packages.coredump.us/debian/pool/main/m/mumble/ > Up to now, I was using kill hooks with pm-hibernate, but it seems that > `systemctl hibernate` does not run them, so my ugly hack is no more a > solution. If you let me know the hook you used with pm-hibernate before I'll see if I can find a similar trick for doing it under systemd. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
