Bug#402406: Proposed plan to fix acidbase issues (was Re: Debian Etch has been frozen)

2006-12-12 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
Hello, 

As part of the open/free/peaceful/environment-friendly software
community, I'm sure we all share a common objective :)


I think the suggestions stated in previous messages may be implemented
this way:

A) Upstream code may remain untouched.

B) acidbase Debian package may contain a patched version of upstream
code.

C) The Debian patch may implement:

   1) Remove dependencies on problematic packages, and

   2.a) Completely remove graphic features, or

   2.b) Conditionally remove graphic features (based on a configuration
variable), so administrator can set this optional_graphics_available=1
variable once she has downloaded the PEAR module and configured her PHP
installation. 

In either case, Debian patch may include the corresponding
NEWS.Debian / README.Debian explaining the issue.

It is up to the Debian package maintainer's wisdom to choose the best
approach.


Regards,


Daniel R.

 I have implemented this in a new version of the acidbase packages. It is
 currently available at http://people.debian.org/~jfs/acidbase/
 
 Could somebody test it in a Snort environment (I don't have the time to do it
 right now) and tell me if it works for you?

I have tested it and seems to work fine. Good job, Javier.

The problem is solved for me.

Bug#402406: Debian Etch has been frozen

2006-12-11 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
Hello,

It has been announced recently that Debian Etch has been frozen. I'm not
much aware of the implications for ACIDBASE (as it has been currently
automatically removed from Etch repository).

Therefore, I think the problem here is time. It would be a pity to lose
this package for this silly thing.

Possible alternatives:

1) Cut out the graphics rendering functionality from ACIDBASE (not
really essential, for me). A link for exporting data to a spreadsheet
format would be enough.

2) A text based histogram (similar to that in main screen)?

3) Implement that functionality as a Java applet ?? i.e. optional
functionality: you leave the problem of installing Java in their
browsers to client users.

Thanks,

Daniel R.

Bug#398948: intel console framebuffer (i810fb or intelfb) does not work

2006-11-16 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
Hello,

 this is old use 2.6.18 from sid,
 will just install fine on testing.

I have installed 2.6.18 from unstable, and I have reproduced the same
tests with it with the same results.

 you didn't send dmesg nor lspci -vv output so those marketing numbers
 are meaningless.
 most probably you need i915 and it is loaded anyway, check lsmod.
 also install udev if you haven't done yet, it will load the right
 module for you.

I have udev installed, however, note it installs a file
called /etc/modprobe.d/display_class which seems to blacklist fb
modules. (Anyway, without that file udev seems to load intelfb, which I
load manually in the other tests).

I have loaded i915 but it seems it just installs a drm module.

I also added a dependency for intelfb in a /etc/modprobe.d/intelfb file,
for loading intel_agp module before intelfb (because intelfb complained
about not being able to access agp). I also included the intel_agp
module in the kernel's initrd image.

This solved the agp problem for intelfb, but now it said that resolution
mode must be programmed at boot time. Which is a paradox, for I included
the corresponding kernel boot option in GRUB: video=intelfb:800x600.

I would like to know if anyone could make any of these modules work,
with this kernel image package :-/


Anyway, I can live with VESA fb. It provides framebuffer too. And I run
X with no problems.


For informational purposes, I include my lspci -vv output

Bug#395169: Overriding debian-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi solves this problem

2006-11-04 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
Hello,

I have also experienced the same problem with new HAL version.

The modification above does not solve the issue. On the other hand, I
have modified the file: 

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi

To override the policy contained in:

/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/debian-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi


Therefore, i have added these lines
to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi:

device
  match key=@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable bool=false
match key=@block.storage_device:storage.removable bool=false
  merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge
/match
  /match
/device

And (after restarting dbus) it solves the problem for me.


Just a question for package maintainers: 

what's the rationale for setting the property volume.ignore=true for
local devices as a security measure ?


Perhaps it would good to improve coordination between
gnome-volume-manager and hal packages (just to make sure maintainers for
either package are aware of new modifications, or to agree on a global
policy for managing / showing / hiding volumes / devices...)

You may also add a README explaining this kind of modifications (which
may conflict with other packages and current desktop behaviour) and
how to override or solve them (if possible).


Thank you,


Daniel R.

 I think this problem is important for package's usability.
 By default eclipse uses GCJ as runtime and I think you have forgotten to
 install the need eclipse-*-gcj and libswt-*-gcj packages to make it
 fast. Without these packages Eclipse is just interpreted as GCJ has no
 JIT yet. And this is slow. Please confirm this makes it faster. An
 alternative is to edit /etc/eclipse/java_home to prefer SUN JDK as your
 runtime. This makes it faster too.

 Hi,

 I have followed the recommendations from Michael (have used
 /.eclipse/eclipserc to override default JAVA_HOME instead of
 /etc/eclipse/java_home), and it solved the problem.

 With GCJ it ran still a bit slow. With SUN JDK it runs fine.
 
 Have you tried to install the eclipse-*-gcj and libswt-*-gcj packages
 too? Is the speed of eclipse with GCJ then acceptable for you?
 
 I plan to add an eclipse-gcj package to the next upload which depends on
 all needed packages.
 
 
 Cheers,
 Michael

 on my /opt/eclipse directory for some time, along with Sun's java 5 
 (update 6) sdk (debian-packaged with java-package), and it worked correctly.
 The response time was acceptable.

 Yesterday eclipse packages became available to debian testing and I
 installed them. Of course, it also installed the corresponding GNU JVM 
 packages debian-eclipse uses by default.

 Both versions of eclipse I had now in my machine were the same: 3.1.2. 
 The only difference I noticed in UI was the memory / garbage collector icon 
 in debian-eclipse version (not present in original one).

 I installed onto /usr/share/eclipse the same additional plugins I had 
 installed and working in the /opt/eclipse version:
  - emf-sdo-xsd-SDK-2.1.2.zip
  - GEF-SDK-3.1.1.zip
  - jadclipse_3.1.0.jar
  - JEM-SDK-1.1.0.1.zip
  - VE-runtime-1.1.0.1.zip
  - wtp-sdk-R-1.0.2-200604280245.zip

 I removed all eclipse's configuration directories in my home account, and
 started it worked apparently correctly, but loaded and ran much slower than 
 my original version. I tried changing the JVM used to Sun's JVM in 
 preferences, 
 rerun eclipse, but it did not solve the problem.

 I removed all eclipse's conf. dirs. again and started my /opt/eclipse 
 version,
 and it run smoothly (as Java can be) as it always did. Therefore, I have
 uninstalled debian-eclipse packages, and the dependency-related GNU JVM 
 packages.

 I guess there is a problem with the way debian-eclipse is compiled or 
 configured.


 I think this problem is important for package's usability.
 
 By default eclipse uses GCJ as runtime and I think you have forgotten to
 install the need eclipse-*-gcj and libswt-*-gcj packages to make it
 fast. Without these packages Eclipse is just interpreted as GCJ has no
 JIT yet. And this is slow. Please confirm this makes it faster. An
 alternative is to edit /etc/eclipse/java_home to prefer SUN JDK as your
 runtime. This makes it faster too.
 
 
 Cheers,
 Michael

Hi,

I have followed the recommendations from Michael (have used
/.eclipse/eclipserc to override default JAVA_HOME instead of
/etc/eclipse/java_home), and it solved the problem.

With GCJ it ran still a bit slow. With SUN JDK it runs fine.


Danke schön

Bug#348698: Information update

2006-03-09 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
Hello,

Now I must inform ifplugd works correctly for me (I only had problem
with my eth1 wireless lan interface - ipw2200).

After some time with ifplugd uninstalled, I have decided to install and
test it again. Meanwhile time has passed and some other debian packages
in etch (testing) have been upgraded. For example wpasupplicant (now
running wpasupplicant version 0.4.7-3).

I think my configuration is also different now:

- When reporting this bug, I think wpasupplicant was run at if-pre-up
  and if-post-down events (i.e.: only while interface was configured).
- Now, wpasupplicant runs ALWAYS - as a daemon, from system startup
  (may be eth1 be configured - with ifup eth1 - or not).
- Both eth0 (cable) and eth1 (wlan) are configured now in ifplugd as
  normal INTERFACES: it works now.


I think the following is IMPORTANT for detecting link-beats in the
wireless interface:**

- My local wlan uses WPA-PSK (not open nor WEP).
- In this case, wireless-tools (iwconfig, etc.) cannot associate
  directly the wlan interface to the wlan access point.
- wpasupplicant is needed (it must be running) to correctly
  associate the interface to the wlan access point (because of key
  management and so on, I guess).
- Link-beats are detected when the interface is ASSOCIATED /
  UNASSOCIATED to the acces point.
- Therefore, wpasupplicant is needed to detect link-beats, BEFORE
  the interface gets (pre)configured: wpasupplicant must be run as a
  system daemon = always.

**PLEASE: You may include an explicit reference to these facts in
  ifplugd documents. Now there is only a vague indication
  about waproamd. If these facts are correct, of course.


Summarizing, I include my current configuration (which is working
correctly):

--- /etc/default/ifplugd:

INTERFACES=eth0 eth1
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES=
ARGS=-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I
SUSPEND_ACTION=stop

---
--- /etc/default/wpasupplicant:

ENABLED=1
DRIVER=wext
INTERFACE=eth1
CONFIG=/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
OPTIONS=-w -i ${INTERFACE} -D ${DRIVER} -c ${CONFIG}

---
^^ Note that the -w option is IMPORTANT

--- /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# My WPA-PSK NETWORK
network={
ssid=myessid
scan_ssid=1   # My ap hides essid
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

Bug#353454: gamin solves this problem

2006-02-19 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
Hello,

Installing gamin package (replaces fam) solves this problem.

I found this workaround by chance:

- I installed other packages on one of my computers, which
  required gamin.
- I noticed change in nautilus behaviour (now: no problem)
- I also installed gamin on my other comp. and reproduced
  the same change in behaviour.

Please investigate as all this may affect many other users.

Thanks

Bug#353010: Installing the translation .xpi (thunderbird extension) sets thunderbird in Spanish

2006-02-15 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
1. Part 1: workaround:
--

After installing the mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package (which
does not set mozilla menus in Spanish, but they remain in default
English), I have done the following:

- I have downloaded the thunderbird.1.0.es-ES.langpack.xpi file
  from nave.hispalinux.es site, and installed it in thunderbird
  (as a thunderbird extension)

- After restarting thunderbird, now it is in Spanish

Note however that this workaround only works for your current
user (I think it installs the extension info in your
~/.mozilla-thunderbird/ directory).

Therefore it is not a valid system-wide solution: if you want to
translate thunderbird into Spanish for all user(s) you need to
run this workaround for each one.

2. Part 2: comment on the workaround:
-

In addition to comments stated before I have also noticed the
following:

Uninstalling (and purging) mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package,
and cleaning (deleting) my user's ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/ dir.
(so I can start from scratch), I have tried to install the
above extension. However now it does not work.

Therefore, in order to translate thunderbird into Spanish I have
checked that both packages must be installed:

- debian's mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package
- thunderbird.1.0.es-ES.langpack.xpi extension (per user)


It seems both 'packages' are complementing to each other ??


I think this is not the intended behaviour, so please correct the
mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package.

Bug#352365: gnome-volume-manager mounts hda1 hda5 (not removable) in fstab at gnome session start

2006-02-15 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
Ok.

Unchecking the Mount removable media... - second - option
(don't know exact spelling, un-translating from my Spanish
translation) in last version of gnome-volume-manager properties
menu, while keeping Mount removable devices... checked,
allows me to automount usbdisks while no automounting hard disk
partitions.

This at the cost of not automounting CD / DVD disks
(which really are removable media).


I would suggest updating gnome-volume-manager/properties
documentation to warn about this effect: local hard disk
partitions are mounted/unmounted as if they were removable
media. The term removable media is misleading in this
case.

Thanks for your support.

Well, it seems yelp gives the same error messages when
opening from console a valid help file, e.g.:

  yelp file:///usr/share/gnome/help/drivemount/es/drivemount.xml

which is rendered ok (also rendered ok when started from the
application's help menu option). Therefore those errors in my
previous messages may not be significant.

The problem seems to be related with an incorrect rendering of
the main Help topics page(s).


I have been reported also (in IRC channels) that some users coming
from a fresh debian testing installation do not experience this
problem ?

I come from dist-upgrade from sarge. So this may be
related to some garbage information remaining in my system? (perhaps
xml packages files?) I have checked the files I have installed for the
yelp package and they seem to be ok...

Bug#345563: Yelp blank help topics may be produced by a scrollkeeper bug

2006-02-13 Thread Daniel Rodriguez Garcia
After searching the internet I have found a thread with a similar
bug found in Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/yelp/+bug/18434

According to that thread the problem is in scrollkeeper, as it
seems it crashes somewhere if the current LANGUAGE environmente
variable is compound (contains more than a language specification,
mine is: es_ES:es:en_GB:en )

Running the command:

  LANGUAGE=es_ES yelp

from the command line solves the problem for me: I get a Help topics
page with contents.

Therefore it seems this is a scrollkeeper's bug, not a yelp's one.

In addition to that, now hal seems to break some

Please take note of this last issue, for it might be

Hello,

I have restarted several times, but the problem continued...

Until I have solved both issues, as explained below:


* Drivemount applet issue:
  

  In gnome configuration editor, the key:

  /system/storage/display_internal_hard_drives

  was deactivated (don't know if it was activated prior to
  updating gnome packages). After activating it, now I can see
  the drive icons for my hda partitions.

  Perhaps this is the correct way, and drivemount applet behaviour
  - showing those partitions (by chance) without hal - was
  not consistent ?


* Battery applet issue:
  -

  (Workaround is described in the battery applet help)

  This version of the battery applet (2.12.2), can use either hal or
  acpid. It seems to use hal by default if it's present and running.

  For some reason:

  a) hal is giving incorrect information to battery applet, or

  b) the applet is reading the info in a wrong way. I think this is the
 most probable case?:

 I have run the hal device manager, before and after disconnecting
 the laptop's AC adapter, and its presence / absence is shown
 correctly in hal device manager, in each case.

  To disable hal use, in gnome configuration editor, go to path:

  /apps/panel/applets/applet_#/prefs/

  (# is the number corresponding to battery applet)

  create a new boolean key called no_hal, and set it to true.
  Then restarting the gnome session the battery applet's status keeps up
  to date with AC adapter's plug / unplug events.

  Certainly, I am also not sure if the battery applet did not use hal
  in previous version or it did (to explain the change in behaviour).



Well, after all this I am not sure now if this is a hal's bug or a
gnome applet's malfunction or change in behaviour :-/ **

At least I hope this can help to other users.


**(i.e. perhaps this bug should be closed ?)

it may not be a seahorse bug after all.

According to posts referenced below it may be related to a bug in
