Bug#780012: Current version issue

2015-08-28 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
The currently available version of keychain in Debian has developed an
issue, resulting in the message:

 * Warning: Can't determine fingerprint from the following line, falling
back to filename

As discussed in this upstream issue:
https://github.com/funtoo/keychain/issues/34
The problem has been fixed in version 2.8.0.

Please update keychain in Debian to fix this issue in Debian.

I confirm that this error occurs when using zsh. virtualenvwrapper is
otherwise fully compatible with zsh, and has been until now. if:

if [[ "$USE_FULL" == "yes" ]];
then

works for both bash and zsh, then I urge you to consider committing the fix

Bug#659434: gkrelltop: Launching programs using gmrun shows gmrun as the CPU user

2012-02-10 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
Package: gkrelltop
Version: 2.2.13-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
   * What led up to the situation?
Launching a CPU-intensive program via gmrun.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Although the program lanuched via gmrun is the one actually using the CPU
(according to top), gkrelltop reports that usage for gmrun.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Show that actual program launched by gmrun that is actually using the CPU.
In fact, while gkrelltop is reporting gmrun as the CPU user, gmrun is not
running at all at that moment in time. It was used to launch the program,
but it does not keep running.

Bug#638694: Workaround

2011-08-25 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Alt_R"

This brings back alt/meta behavior to the right alt key while using the us
layout, but not while using other international layouts.
us layout: right alt is Alt_R
other layout: right alt is NoSymbol


Bug#638694: Acknowledgement (xterm: alt- == )

2011-08-21 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
I just realized that I have the same problem in emacs: when I add the
grp:alts_toggle option, the left alt works fine, but the right alt is not
alt/meta at all.
So, I suppose if this can be fixed at the xkb layer, it could be more
useful. Any hints?


Bug#638694: xterm: alt- ==

2011-08-20 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
Subject: xterm: alt- == 
Package: xterm
Version: 271-1
Severity: normal

Alt key works perfectly as a modifier with any key except for the arrow keys
(left, right, up, down).
With arrow keys, alt- produces the same codes as  alone, as
shown by ctrl-v alt-.

After adding the grp:alts_toggle xkb option, only the left alt key behaves
correctly, but the right alt key then becomes ISO_Level3_Shift, as reported
by xev.
xmodmap shows ISO_Level3_Shift to be Mod5. Moving ISO_Level3_Shift from Mod5
to Mod1 breaks alt- again.

Only grp:alts_toggle can fix alt-, and then it mutates alt_r
into ISO_Level3_Shift. Other toggle options have no effect on this issue.
Note also that alts_toggle and ctrls_toggle don't actually do any toggling.
I tried menu_toggle and shifts_toggle and they do toggle.

I am not sure if this is xterm's fault, but gnome-terminal does not have
this problem.

$ setxkbmap -query

Bug#623247: Bring transset-df back

2011-05-02 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
Please bring transset-df back.

- "It's orphaned, dead upstream": It's got no outstanding bugs in Debian's
bug tracking system. No updates upstream may imply it's been abandoned just
as much as it may mean it does not need any more work. It is perfect as it
is.

- "has low popcon": I will leave the answer to this one to   Joey Hess  in
his article:  the popcon problem, at
http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/the_popcon_problem/, which was also
featured in Debian Project News - May 2nd, 2011.

- There is currently no alternative transparency manipulation program in
Debian that can replace transset-df to manipulate transparency settings when
using xcompmgr.

Subject: gkrellmd: hddtemp sensors not detected on boot - needs service restart
Package: gkrellmd
Version: 2.3.4-1
Severity: minor

On boot, hddtemp-provided sensors are missing from gkrellmd even if

Restarting the gkrellmd service by:
"invoke-rc.d gkrellmd restart"
gets them back.

Apparently, gkrellmd starts before hddtemp, which is configured to run
as service. So, a boot dependency on hddtemp service should fix this.

Here is how I managed to get it working.
There may be some redundant steps, but it worked for me repeatedly
(more than one remote gkrelltopd on different architectures and debian
releases - stable and testing)

1. Delete all gkrellm configuration on the client machine that are
relevant to remote machine running gkrelltopd
2. Disable gkrelltopd plugin on the remote machine, and restart
gkrellmd without gkrelltopd
3. Run gkrellm on the client with the gkrelltop plugin enabled. This
should show the gkrelltop without errors, but showing top processes on
the *client* machine
3. Enable gkrellotpd on the remote machine
4. Restart gkrellm on the client machine. Now you should see the
remote's top processes, and have no errors/seg-faults.

I confirm that this is happening for me with a wireless nfs client. I

My wireless adapter is ipw2200 (centrino laptop), and I am using Debian 
kernel's driver version 1.1.2kmq, kernel 2.6.18-3-686.
However, as I reported in a previous email, I have had problems with 
samba too, although with less frequency. That is, in nfs almost every 
such large transfer gets corrupted. In samba though, every few transfers 
one gets corrupted. Samba transfer rate is about 40% of nfs rate (B/s).

You see the same bug when you transfer data via _wireless_ instead of
Ethernet?  That's very odd because I'm fairly sure this is a bug in
the Ethernet driver rather than in NFS or something.  If you really
see this with wireless this would of course change everything.
Unfortunately I don't have a USB wifi connector so I cannot test this
myself.

Which wifi device are you using?  And are you sure you see the same
NFS problem as reported in this bug when you transfer via wifi?

If it is indeed an ethernet driver issue, why does nfs cause errors when

Transfers from the server to the client cause absolutely no errors.

The bottom line is that this is a known bug in the Ethernet driver.
I'll ask the author of that driver whether he looked into these
problems already.  I hope this can be resolved in time for etch but
I'm not sure this will really happen.  In any case, I'm downgrading
this bug because Debian itself doesn't include the microcode needed
for IXP4xx Ethernet, so this isn't a release critical bug for Debian.
However, I still hope we can find a solution.
  


Bug#404447: nfs-kernel-server: Transferred files get corrupted

2006-12-30 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
I'm still on 2.6.18-3-ixp4xx. Yesterday, I have had I/O errors over 
samba. These were my first samba incidents, but then again I just 
started using samba recently. I have been trying to reproduce the error 
with samba with no luck.
My conclusion is that errors occur much less frequently with samba than 
with nfs. The first explanation that comes to my mind is that samba puts 
less load on the network than nfs does, as samba transfers at about 40% 
the rate of nfs, thus supporting the 'ethernet driver bad behavior under 
load' argument.
This also explains why rdiff-backup did not result in any errors 
although it managed to transfer files nfs used to corrupt -- because it 
transfers at a much lower speed.
Probably someone should try transfers over http or ftp to confirm it's 
not specific to nfs as they are capable of transferring at similarly 
high speeds.


This leaves the issue of other kernels. To be honest, I cannot rely on 
my memory. I am sure I have had nfs trouble with all the configurations 
I ran (d-i beta2, debootstrapped slugOS kernel, and 2.6.18-3-ixp4xx), 
but cannot confirm the 'reproducibility'/frequency and the type of the 
errors at this time on the old configurations. As far as I remember, d-i 
beta2 did not have the nfs kernel modules, so it probably was the 
nfs-user-server only. On debootstrapped slugOS kernel though, I 
installed the nfs kernel modules (ipkg files) and ran into some trouble 
with nfs too, but I cannot be more specific on that. I have not tried 
Debian's 2.6.17 at any time, as I upgraded from slugOS kernel to 
Debian's 2.6.18.

Bug#404447: nfs-kernel-server: Transferred files get corrupted

2006-12-29 Thread Ahmad Khayyat

Hi Martin,

I am not sure if what you experienced is consistent with my encounters:

1) I have been having this nfs problem before I upgrade to debian kernel 
when I was using slugOS 2.6.17 (or is it 2.6.16 - can't remember now!) 
kernel (debootsrapped etch), which supposedly uses Intel's driver.


2) I don't have any problems using samba now on debian's kernel 2.6.18 
(the open source driver) when transferring the same files that cause nfs 
to break.


So, being an open source driver bug does not explain this behavior.

Hi Ahmad,

I've tested various combinations now and I'm pretty sure this is a
problem with the open source Ethernet driver for the IXP4xx platform.
I've tested:

 - NFS on another ARM platform, namely IOP32x: it works fine.

 - 2.6.18-2 on NSLU2 to rule out the mm/msync patches: it works fine.

 - 2.6.17 on NSLU2 using the Intel Ethernet driver: it works fine.

In 2.6.18 we have switched to a different Ethernet driver.  Various
people have experienced problems when transferring large amounts of
data with this driver, and given my tests I'm pretty sure that this is
what we're seeing in this case too.  Some people have suggested that
setting

sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 8092 8092"

helps.  Unfortunately, I still see NFS problems so it doesn't
completely get rid of the problems.

The bottom line is that this is a known bug in the Ethernet driver.
I'll ask the author of that driver whether he looked into these
problems already.  I hope this can be resolved in time for etch but
I'm not sure this will really happen.  In any case, I'm downgrading
this bug because Debian itself doesn't include the microcode needed
for IXP4xx Ethernet, so this isn't a release critical bug for Debian.
However, I still hope we can find a solution.
  


Bug#402707: rtorrent hash check fails on x86 ext3

2006-12-28 Thread Ahmad Khayyat

I am having this problem too on an x86 machine with ext3 filesystem.
rtorrent stops downloading and says:

Hash check on download completion found bad chunks, consider using 
"safe_sync"


This is the case whether safe_sync is used or not. Download resumes if I 
start the torrent again manually. This could happen multiple times, but 
once the download is complete hash check succeeds.

Bug#401980: apt segfaults if /var/cache/apt/*.bin are present

2006-12-26 Thread Ahmad Khayyat
I am seeing this problem on my NSLU2. I have cron-apt configured to run 
daily, and everyday I wake up to the segfault email by the cron job :(.


removing /var/cache/apt/*.bin allows me to have one pleasant encounter 
with apt, not more. So, currently I added 'rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin' to 
my daily wakeup tasks (those include brushing my teeth), which has the 
effect of me staying late in bed.


I had debian installed on this NSLU2 for a while, so I haven't suffered 
the installer problem, but I wanted to make sure that this problems is 
not an installer-only problem, although I realize it may be more serious 
for the installer.

Subject: nfs-kernel-server: Transferred files get corrupted

Severity: important

When I transfer files from an x86 machine to the arm nfs server,
files arrive corrupted (md5sum mismatch) and dmesg/syslog shows:

kernel: nfsd: non-standard errno: -14

Often I have to restart the nfs server to be able to access nfs mounts
after such incidents. Also, I often get I/O error at the end of the
transfer, where the file sizes match to the byte, but md5sum still
doesn't.

Transferring files from the arm nfs server to the x86 machine are OK and
have absolutely no problems. Samba seems to be working well too.

The nfs server is an NSLU2.

Bug#383064: gnome-utils: Limited list of pre-configured dictionaries + editing sources

2006-08-14 Thread Ahmad Khayyat




Subject: gnome-utils: Limited list pre-configured
of dictionaries
Package: gnome-utils
Version: 2.14.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: l10n

This problem was introduced with the latest version of the gnome
dictionary applet. The previous version had a comprehensive list of
dictionaries to choose from. This is no longer the case for no obvious
reason. The interface has changed but the new interface can accommodate
the old complete list.

Moreover, trying to add a new "source" as it is called in the new
"Preferences" dialog is a mystery. There are some dropdown lists but
with nothing to choose from. I tried a few values I guessed but could
not get the applet to work with any new source I add.

I am particularly interested in the English-Arabic and Arabic-English
(was not there before but there was a "translating dictionaries" that
did the trick) dictionaries. English-Arabic dictionary does exist on
the dict.org server.

Another unexpected problem is that once a source is added it cannot be
edited. It has to be removed and then re-added!

2006-07-24 Thread Ahmad Khayyat




logrotate seems to me to be finishing its job when
run by run-parts. It lists 16 logs at the beginning and handles them
all according to anacron job email report.

It's always logrotate that gets . I always get the same
process tree listed in the original bug report.

I have no idea what run-parts is doing at that time. If there is a way
to tell, please let me know.

BTW, I was told on Debian's IRC channel that this looks like run-parts
is failing to handle some return code returned by logrotate, but
logrotate seems to be running fine to me.

Package: debianutils
Subject: debianutils: run-parts gets stuck at
logrotate and never finishes cron.daily jobs
Version: 2.16.2
Severity: important

anacron gets stuck everyday while performing cron.daily jobs. A typical
process status (ps --forest output format) is:
26121 ?    00:00:00 anacron
27557 ?    00:00:00  \_ run-parts
29302 ?    00:00:00  \_ logrotate 

logrotate returns successfully when I run it manually and doesn't show
any problems. A side effect of the behavior above is that anacron
doesn't get to go through the rest of the cron.daily jobs, even after I
kill run-parts whenever I remember to do so (I have to do it daily :(
). This causes, among other things, my syslog files to grow large
unless I manually run the sysklogd daily job.

If I do not remember to kill run-parts, no daily job will ever run
again. anacron fails to start and complains about an already running
instance preventing it from starting.

again. Now I'm running the latest version in testing.

When running getmail on nslu2, it exhibits three problems, none of
which happens on anothrer x86 machine:

1. While fetching messages, getmail often fails with the following
error message:

    getmailrc: socket
error ((104, 'Connection reset by peer'))
    ...
    socket.sslerror: (1, 'error:1409F07F:SSL
routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING:bad write retry')
    
    and some other times it shows the following error message instead:

    getmailrc: operation
error (socket/ssl error while reading from server ((110, 'Connection
timed out')))

2. It often fetch duplicate messages - messages it already fetched in
previous runs, so the inbox end up having multiple copies of the same
message.

3. Sometimes getmail gets stuck while running. No CPU usage and no
activity at all, but it wouldn't exit either unless I interrupt it with
CTRL-C.

Bug#373886: Using cacti with other web servers than apache variants

2006-07-02 Thread Ahmad Khayyat




Hi Sean,

Thank you for considering this issue.

I can provide you with some information regarding lighttpd in
particular as it is the web server I am using. I am not sure how this
will work for other packages providing httpd, so there might be a
problem there unless someone verifies them all!

As for the apache mod-php, php support is already included in lighttpd
package in form of two alternative modules (both included in lighttpd
package): mod_cgi and mod_fastcgi. The lighttpd package provides
httpd-cgi besides httpd, and recommends php{4,5}-cgi packages (either
one). So, lighttpd package on its own will do what apache +
libapache-mod-php? does, but php{4,5}-cgi still needs to be installed,
probably by a cacti dependency.

lighttpd configuration to enable php support can be done as easily as
running the command:
    lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
you can replace fastcgi with cgi to use mod_cgi instead of mod_fastcgi,
but I didn't try that and cannot tell for sure if it will work or not.
You can similarly disable the module (probably for remove scripts)
using the command:
    lighty-disable-mod fastcgi

As for alias support, mod_alias is enabled by default in the debian
package in the /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file. To setup an alias, you
add a line like the following to lighttpd.conf or some other conf file
in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/ (usually symlinks to file in
/etc/lighttpd/conf-available):
    alias.url += ( "/cacti/" => "/usr/share/cacti/site/" )
The + indicates that this is not the first alias line in the conffile,
so append this alias to the previous aliases. If it were the first
alias line, it would not have the +. The lighttpd.conf file though does
have a dummy first alias line so that all other alias lines use the +.

By the way, I tried to make /usr/share/cacti/site/ my web server's
root, but images wouldn't load. The rest of the site is working, but
there are no images at all.

I hope this helps..

Regards,
- Ahmad

Bug#373886: Using cacti with other web servers than apache variants

2006-06-15 Thread Ahmad Khayyat

Subject: Using cacti with other web servers than apache variants
Package: cacti
Version: 0.8.6h-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Problem
---

I wanted to use cacti with lighttpd, but installing cacti pulled apache2 along 
which I did not want installed.


Solution


Someone in the #debian irc channel on freenode.net (I wish I can remember who) 
advised me to use the equivs package
to track down the problem, which I did. I used php5 instead of php4 all along.

I performed the following steps before attempting anything of my objectives:

1. I installed cacti and all of its dependencies. I used php5 instead of the 
default php4 by explicitly installing the
php5 counterparts of the dependencies of cacti, then I installed cacti with its 
other default dependencies
(apache2, mysql 5, ... etc.)

2. I needed to manually add "extension=mysql.so" to /etc/php5/apache/php.ini. 
For some reason, the other extensions
were enables except mysql's.

3. At this point, cacti was working fine on apache.


To make sure that the concept of using lighttpd with cacti is feasible, I tried 
to run cacti on top of lighttpd
using the following steps:

1. I installed lighttpd, configured it to run on a different port, enabled the 
built-in fastcgi module,
installed php5-cgi, and added an alias to cacti's site folder.

2. Again, I needed to manually add "extension=mysql.so" to 
/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini.

3. At this point, cacti was working fine on lighttpd, too.


The next step was to make sure that lighttpd is capable of running cacti on its 
own and without any help from
any apache component, I tried to purge apache and its related stuff and make 
sure lighttpd can still run
cacti. So, I did the following (every remove in the following is actually a 
purge):

1. Remove apache2 (I'm not sure if apache2 package was really installed or not, 
since apache2-mpm-prefork provides
apache2 and was installed):
  Effect:
  - No effect. Not used. apache2-mpm-prefork (a dependency of 
libapache2-mod-php[45]) is used instead.

2. Replace libapache2-mod-php5 with an empty package that provides 
libapache2-mod-php5 (created using equivs):
  Effect:
  - php doesn't work with apache anymore after a force-reload.
  - lighttpd still works fine after a force-reload.

3. Replace apache2-mpm-prefork with an empty package that provides apache2 
(trying to remove apache2-mpm-prefork
caused cacti to get uninstalled since apache2-mpm-prefork provides apache2 
which is a dependency of cacti):
  Effect:
  - No apache server installed.
  - lighttpd still working with php and cacti.

4. Remove apache2-common.

Now the only apache-related package still installed (other than the equivs 
dummies!) is apache2-utils,
which is suggested by lighttpd and removing it won't casue any problems.



Conclusion
--
cacti can work with other web servers than apache variants. I verified this 
lighttpd only, but there should be no
reason for any other web server that supports php not to be able to run cacti.

I did not try to find out an alternative set of dependencies for cacti, but 
basically httpd along with some php
dependency should do it, besides the database setup dependencies.

I have to say that I did not have to worry about any database stuff. It was 
well setup by default.

The system information below is for a temporary test setup. My final deployment 
system is an arm architecture.

Bug#274885: nullmailer: domainname problems

2006-06-01 Thread Ahmad Khayyat




Subject: nullmailer: domainname problems
Followup-For: Bug #274885
Package: nullmailer
Version: 1:1.02-6


Sending mail to root (using mail root) works fine, but to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or
root@ does not. Creating /etc/nullmailer/defaultdomain
can solve the latter
case by appending the proper domainname to hostname so that they look
like mailname.
However, [EMAIL PROTECTED] becomes [EMAIL PROTECTED],
which is unroutable
at the smarthost.

Probably localhost should be treated uniquely.

Bug#362869: No direct rendering for radeon 9100 IGP

2006-04-16 Thread Ahmad Khayyat

Right..

There was another package containing the same libGL.so file. I 
uninstalled it, reinstalled xlibmesa-gl, and direct redering is 
enabled.. :).


Now glxgears renders around 600 FPS, which is better but still kind of slow.

On the other hand, the display (2D) is really slow. Even switching 
between windows is slow.. I can see the new window being drawn.

Bug#362869: No direct rendering for radeon 9100 IGP

2006-04-15 Thread Ahmad Khayyat

Package: xlibmesa-dri
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important

No direct rendering for ATI's Radeon 9100 IGP integrated graphics card. 
I am using X.org's (6.9.0) ati driver with no options. My xorg.conf file 
was created at install time automatically and I haven't changed anything 
regarding the graphics device.


The effect is that the display is awfully slow. Even switching between 
windows take a while and I can see the new window being drawn!


glxgears did not even make it to 200 FPS. Max. was 199.228 FPS.

An update..

A more specific problem description:

If I am using acpi_cpufreq driver, any change in the cpu frequency,
whether manual or automatic (using an automatic governer like ondemand)
causes any application using sound at the time of the frequency change
to hang!!!





Bug#362708: acpi_cpufreq and snd_atiixp conflict

2006-04-15 Thread Ahmad Khayyat




Package:
linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp
Severity: normal


When acpi_cpufreq kernel module is loaded, alsa would randomly break.
The 
application accessing sound sometimes hangs and cpu usage gets 100%,
and 
sometimes it works fine. Multiple applications accessing sound at the
same 
time often causes the problem to appear, but a single application could
too. 
Without acpi_cpufreq loaded, alsa works perfectly fine with single or 
multiple applications accessing sound at the same time.

I am not sure, though, if this is a problem with my acpi. This is a
Toshiba 
Satellite A70 laptop with atiixp chipset and Pheonix BIOS. The machine 
shuts down properly but does not reboot. Reboot completes the shutdown
but 
stops there before actually turning off the machine or rebooting it.
LEDs 
stay on and I can hear the fan.

I used to use p4_clockmod scaling driver just fine. acpi_cpufreq could
not 
be loaded in previous kernels. This is the first kernel in which I
managed 
to load acpi_cpufreq, and it seems to work fine, except for the sound
problem.
