Hi,
After a fresh sarge install, I'm having problems with umask settings. In
/etc/login.defs I set umask to 002, and that works for logging in on the

umask of 022, because Xsession is started by the display manager which

It seems that Xsession doesn't change the UMASK at all. Should it do so?
If not, which program should set the umask during a graphical login?
Good question.
debian-devel folks, what do you think? I'm having difficulty deciding how
to think about this issue.
/etc/login.defs explicitly indicates that it is Configuration control
definitions for the login package, and many of its parameters are
inapplicable to display managers, or already implemented in parallel (e.g.,
how long do wait after a failed login before displaying the prompt/greeter
again?).
By analogy, /etc/environment is a PAM thing and should only be dealt with
by PAM. (We can't use it anyway since the umask is not an environment
variable.)
* What's the path of least resistance?
* What would violate user expectations the least?
* What would be a good ideal approach, if code changes weren't an issue?

Alternatively, you can also use a mail command that is compatible with mailx's command-line syntax, such as mutt. One very good way to file bugs with the Debian Bug Tracking System is to use the reportbug package and command of the same name. The reportbug program does a lot of automatic information-gathering that helps package maintainers to understand your system configuration, and also ensures that your message to the Debian Bug Tracking System is well-formed so that it is processed correctly by the automated tools that manage the reports. (If you've ever gotten a bounce message from the Debian Bug Tracking System that tells you your message couldn't be processed, you might appreciate this latter feature.) Therefore, I strongly urge you to give reportbug a try as your primary bug reporting tool for the Debian System in the future. If you *did* use reportbug to file your report, then you're receiving this message because the information we expected to see was not present. If you deliberately deleted this information from the report, please don't do that in the future, even if it seems like it makes the mail too large. 50 kB (kilobytes) of configuration and log data is typical. Only if the included information greatly exceeds this amount (more than 100 kB) should you consider omitting it; instead, put it up on the World Wide Web somewhere and provide URLs to it in your report, or in subsequent followup by mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED].

In /etc/login.defs I set umask to 002, and that works for logging in on

getting an umask of 022, because Xsession is started by the display
manager which has a default umask of 022.
It seems that Xsession doesn't change the UMASK at all. I think it
should inherit the values from /etc/login.defs. But maybe this should be
done by the display manager, in which case this bug applies to {g,k,x}dm
and whatever other display managers Debian provides.
I don't think there is an obviously correct solution to this problem, so I
have submitted it to the debian-devel mailing list for discusson.

I have a fresh WOODY installation from CD 3.0r0 and it is working. After updating it stops to Work. Oh yes, $HOME is availlable in fvwm and normaly xterm get it from the invoiking Application so if I start an application like: Exec xterm -e myprogram myprogram does atart correctly from the $HOME/bin bot does not know anything about $HOME. This is probably an error and stops programs of working. If I start my probrams like Exec exec myprogram it works fine, because fvwm spans a non-login-shell which have the $HOME because it get it from fvwm.

Bug#276345: copy-paste troubles with the first line of a less
Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Severity: normal Hi, It's been some months now that I repeatedly get a strange problem with a less in xterm: if I select the first line of the xterm window, being the first line of the less dump too, I am pasting some sort of buffered data too, coming from previous lines of output. Say I have done a grep -r foo bar | less, and copy-paste the first line of the xterm (bar/xyz.c: ...), I get what I've selected plus some preprended text (blahblahbar/xyz.c: ...). This happens when I select one or multiple lines or one or multiple words including the upper left word in the less in xterm. It DOESN'T happen when I select character-wise (single-clicking instead of double- or triple-clicking). I can't reproduce deterministically but once I get it, it always happen with the same display. Restarting the less usually clears things up. I think I already got the problem with vim a while ago, but I'm not copy-pasting so much from vim, either to it. I believe it's a but in the copy-paste word selection of xterm wich doesn't check if the characters selected are displayed and goes out of bound, but I can believe it is caused by improper terminal handling by less. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.6-8 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig12.2.3-1generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm64.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt64.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client data -- no debconf information Regards, -- Loïc Minier [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So anyway, before I head out, this is what I was refering to. http://www.ezfilesharing.com/ref44.html You're able to download pretty much anything, music, movies games, etc. So I've downloaded 8 video games movies so far today :). You have to check out how many things they have in here to download - it's out of this world. They walk you through the entire process of burning your choices to CD. I saw a few areas of the movie section, and found titles in there still in theaters - it's nutty. Talk to you tommorow. Abdul
Bug#276234: xterm lost $HOME/bin and $TMPDIR
But what I do not understand is, that it was working up to the UPGRADE. If i login onto the console, I have my $HOME /home/michelle AND $PATH /home/michelle/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin which are set by my ~/.bash_profile Now if I 'startx' the two variables are availlable in fvwm2 (2.5.10) Now if I call a 'xterm' as non-login-shell fvwm leaves the two variables to 'xterm' which was working for years. If I login via a DisplayManager, I set the $PATH inside the ~/.xsession and it was working to like the login from the console. Now it does not more work ansd you say, that you are upstream. So you are not the Package Maintainer of xfree86/xterm. Maybe they have changed something in 4.1.0-16woody2 or 4.1.0-16woody3 Installing a clean system from CD and runing the test are working fine.

Bug#274457: Please test new ca, ch, hu, jp, mn and vn layouts for PC models
Denis Barbier wrote: Hi, you filed bugreports for not being able to select multiple layouts. Could you please get new XKB files from http://people.debian.org/~barbier/xkb/xkb-4.3.0.dfsg.1-8+SVN.tar.bz2 and test your desired layouts? These layouts can be loaded without problems, but as I am not familiar with them, it is pretty hard to check that everything works fine. Since we are releasing soon, your feedback is very important to quickly solve problems if needed (or to know that it works ;)). I tried the Canadian French layout, and everything seems to work correctly. Among other things, the AltGr key (aka ISO_Level3_Shift) is finally at the right place. One small nit would be to change the shorthand string (that is used by the gnome keyboard applet, etc. to indicate the current keyboard) from ca to something a bit more descriptive (like fr_ca) for the French Canadian keyboard layout. Hopefully these new keyboard layouts can be folded into a last X release for testing. Otherwise having a defective layout makes use of programs running under X pretty hard. Thanks! Christian

I'm running Debian/testing, and see that about half the contents of /lib was changed when I updated in mid-September (file dates are a month earlier, but ctimes show me when the files got there). I'd expect environment-variable tinkering to be done in libc. If i login onto the console, I have my $HOME /home/michelle AND $PATH /home/michelle/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin which are set by my ~/.bash_profile generally I use tcsh (and set my path in .cshrc). Aside from (a few years ago) noticing that shared libraries in /usr/local/lib wouldn't get loaded nicely (because of the environment-variable trimming), I haven't seen any recent changes that would add variables to be trimmed. A quick check (now that I'm home) with xterm -e sh or SHELL=/bin/sh xterm doesn't show a loss of variables. So perhaps that's not the problem. I'm not sure what is.

It looks like this applet does only take XkbLayout into account, you should file a bug against it and request that XKbVariant be appended when it does exist, e.g. in your case it could be displayed as ca(fr).

Hi,
After a fresh sarge install, I'm having problems with umask
settings. In /etc/login.defs I set umask to 002, and that works
for logging in on the console or remote via ssh. However, if I
use {g,x,k}dm I keep getting an umask of 022, because Xsession
is started by the display manager which has a default umask of
022.
It seems that Xsession doesn't change the UMASK at all. Should
it do so? If not, which program should set the umask during a
graphical login?
Searching Google for xsession umask will give you some hints.
/etc/login.defs explicitly indicates that it is Configuration
control definitions for the login package, and many of its
parameters are inapplicable to display managers, or already
implemented in parallel (e.g., how long do wait after a failed
login before displaying the prompt/greeter again?).
I believe that /etc/login.defs _is_ the right place to define the
default umask property.

Stop the hassle and worry of calls and late notices.

He unstrapped the machine from his wrist to examine it better, and while holding it carelessly in his hand it slipped and fell with a bang to the deck, striking upon its round edge and rolling quickly past the cabin and out of sight With a cry of alarm he ran after it, and after much search found it lying against the bulwark near the edge of a scupper hole, where the least jar of the ship would have sent it to the bottom of the ocean
