Bug#907145: closed by Jeremy Bicha (Re: Bug#907145: gksu: Fails to change PATH according to /ect/sudoers)

2018-08-24 Thread Chris Tillman
Aha! Thank you. Since it was used in the menu shortcut of "Root Terminal"
for anyone who used the XFCE desktop, perhaps it should be moved to "xfce4"
? They should probably replace the implementation of the menu since they
formerly depended on gksu. I verified after upgrading all packages to
current testing that my menu for "Root Terminal" still references gksu.

Bug#907145: gksu: Fails to change PATH according to /ect/sudoers

2018-08-24 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.2-9+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I was upgrading the testing distribution after several months using aptitude. I
upgraded about half the packages, but when I went to upgrade the other half I
received errors from dpkg:

Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
I searched online and found the cause of the errors was, as the error states,
the PATH being incorrect. I checked the PATH resulting when I chose "Root
Terminal" from the menu, and this path did not include the sbin directories.

root@ctillman:/home/chris# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

I tried sudo from a regular user terminal window to check the path which would
come up with it:

chris@ctillman:~$ sudo bash -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

And then, because gksu starts Root Terminal, I tried the equivalent with gksu:

chris@ctillman:~$ gksu "bash -c 'echo $PATH'"
gksu-run: gksu/bash -c 'echo
|usr|local|bin:|usr|bin:|bin:|usr|local|games:|usr|games'/5044-0-ctillman_TIME11346051
gksu-run: 1f53968cb8fe3d752131e6a334975c84

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

This showed gksu is not changing the path when calling xfce4-terminal.

My /etc/sudoers contents:

root@ctillman:~# cat /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of

I am currently on Thunar 1.6.13.

The script Ken Milmore  mentioned did not trigger a Thunar freeze in a
"normal" directory. It was flashing furiously, though.

When I changed to a large directory (ls * | wc -l = 5,364) the behavior
with this script was different. The cursor changed to a "busy" type symbol.
But the file manager was still active and functional. This time Ctrl C did
not work to quit the process, but I was still able to close both the
terminal window and Thunar. I think maybe this is just related to the
script. But eventually my machine recovered, there was no crash or freeze,
and Thunar always remained responsive to the user.

In my case when encountering this problem, I was running tests in
EiffelStudio, and these tests resulted in removing / editing a dozen or two
log files which were visible in the Thunar window (as I always had it
sorted by Date modified with most recent at the top). So that activity is
consistent with the reports in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868704 .

I tried a sample of my former activity and didn't have any problems with
1.6.13, so I think this probably was the same bug.

Bug#862397: thunar: Thunar crashes when left open for a time showing a folder with thousands of items in it

2017-05-12 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: thunar
Version: 1.6.11-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Repeatedly, I was working in another window and came back to the file
manager to do something different when
I found the window to be totally non-responsive. A couple of times it
froze the machine completely so it
did not respond to keystrokes at all.
I noticed that it only happened when I left it showing the main folder
I am working in, which has 4,597 items
currently according to ls * | wc -l.
Finally I switched to PCManFM and it does not seem to have these
issues.

Ah, that would make sense. I wasn't aware there were two different ways of
copying using the 2 different subsystems.

Bug#856456: xfce4-ter: Clipboard contents erased on child application exit (only when preference is copy on select)

2017-03-01 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: normal
File: xfce4-ter
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed the setting for "Automatically copy selection to clipboard" in the
Preferences. I thought, that's cool, like Putty does. But it doesn't work quite
as reliably as you'd like.

Within a given program (e.g. less), it puts whatever you highlight on the
clipboard and that can be pasted another place in the program, or to another
window.

The only issue is if you want to close that program, then open another one or
another instance of the same one, and use the copied material. It has
evaporated. I determined the point it evaporates is when the program exits.

Even more curious, sometimes rather than evaporating, another bit of text (the
same length, and from the same columns) from the scrollback of the terminal
will get substituted on the clipboard when quitting.

I turned it off for now and went back to Ctrl-Shift-C, Ctrl-Shift-V.

Bug#852779: installation-reports: Mostly successful install amd64 stretch RC1

2017-01-27 Thread Chris Tillman
Google tells me bug 849124 covers the reportbug issues, and installing
gir1.2-vte-2.91
did fix the issue. I reckon that is important enough, though, that Stretch
should not be released until that fix makes its way into the release
candidate.

Bug#837708: thunar: Segfault after file rename

2016-09-13 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: thunar
Version: 1.6.10-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have noticed this happening a few times. I closed a text file and then
renamed it using the right-click -> Rename ... dialog. After pressing the OK
button, the entire File Manager closed.

Looking at /var/log immediately afterwards, I found this message in kern.log,
syslog and messages:

Sep 14 06:37:41 ctillman kernel: [250415.899337] Thunar[29924]: segfault at 0
ip b69f1558 sp bfda338c error 4 in libc-2.23.so[b68c+1ad000]

It also appeared in journalctl -a:

Needless to say, it's inconvenient to need to open File Manager again and
navigate back to where I was. Thanks.

Bug#833492: Additional info

2016-08-12 Thread Chris Tillman
Just tagging on to say that I've noticed the scroll bar widget isn't
properly placed (stays at the top) when I use Ctrl-End to go to the end of
the document. Maybe that's where the messages are coming from. If I resize
the window, the scroll bar thumb moves to the bottom.

Bug#831453: meld crashed when invoked from command line after recent upgrade (suspect GTK)

2016-07-16 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: meld
Version: 3.16.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Hi,

I invoked meld with two small documents.

$ meld 6100.1.chk 6100.2.chk

The result was

No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append_search_path'

I noticed bug 830952, so checked my GTK version; it was 3.20.6-2. Perhaps "too
new"?

When I opened meld through the menu instead, I was able to use it to view the
diff.

Let me just say that I think meld provides the most attractive diff result
display I have ever seen, it's a joy to use just because of that.

Bug#814408: aptitude uses all disk space (12G) with recursive trace-dump in /tmp

2016-02-11 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.5-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I had upgraded all packages a couple of weeks ago to testing current level.
Today I opened aptitude, performed update, and it said there were 123 packages
to be updated. I marked the Upgradeable line with +.
It said it was Resolving Dependencies, and then became unresponsive. I went on
to do something else. After 10 minutes or so I found I could not use readline
completion in bash because I had run out of disk space on the root device.
Going back to the aptitude window, I saw many out of disk space messages.
I hit OK on the messages window, and then canceled my pending actions and quit
aptitude.
Once back on the command line, I confirmed I was out of space with df -h.

root@ctillman:/home/chris# df -h
Filesystem  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda519G   17G  865M  96% /

 Conveniently, I had just done df -h before starting the upgrade, so I scrolled
back up and verified I had 12G free beforehand.

root@ctillman:/home/chris# df -h
Filesystem  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda519G  7.0G   11G  41% /

I then used du to drill down to where the space was being used. Here are the
final few lines.

root@ctillman:/home/chris# du --max-depth=1 -h /tmp/aptitude-root.7985\:PR9HPH/

As you can see, the X11 directory has been recursively created.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
Quit aptitude, that freed up about 1G. Then
root@ctillman:/home/chris# rm -rf /tmp/aptitude-root.7985:PR9HPH/aptitude-
trace-dumpubvton/usr/bin/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Bug#814408: aptitude uses all disk space (12G) with recursive trace-dump in /tmp

2016-02-11 Thread Chris Tillman
Sorry, I guess filling disk is not such a bad thing after all. "Everyone
else does it."

Disregard my sarcasm, you are of course right that the system is now
designed to
withstand such poorly behaved applications.

I also thought configs were usually attached by reportbug, but in any case
here is

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib
non-free


$ cat ~/.aptitude/config
Aptitude "";
Aptitude::ProblemResolver "";
Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Trace-File "/tmp/aptitude.trace";
Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Remove-Level "10001";

I also attached the tarred remainder of the offending aptitude-trace
directory in tmp. (Recall I had truncated the recursive directory at
aptitude-trace-dumpubvton/usr/bin/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11 ).

After removing the
Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Trace-File "/tmp/aptitude.trace";
line, I went back in to aptitude to try the same thing again.

Upon starting, it immediately suggested 2 installs, 1 keep, 1 upgrade.
Remember I had cancelled the pending actions. This action was not suggested
last time I was in.
keep: libilmbase6v5
install: libilmbase12, libopenexr22
upgrade: libgeg-0.3-0

I entered ! to accept the suggestion, and verified that these actions are
now pending, along with removal of libopenexr6v5 (libilmbase6v5 is also
being removed because no longer used).

I also have a list of 34 packages being held back, including apt and
apt-utils at 1.2.1. And 96 being automatically held, the list of which
includes many xserver-xorg packages (and xserver-xorg-legacy at 2:1.173-2).

I tried hitting + on the Upgradeable line again, and this time the
resolution was swift: Suggest 23 keeps. This was all the xserver-xorg
packages again. I accepted. I hit the + sign again, and the same suggestion
was offered again.

I think that must be where the recursiveness is coming in.

Let me know if there's something else I can try in this state.

Bug#802178: llvm-toolchain-3.7: Various warnings in llvm-3.7 build

2015-10-17 Thread Chris Tillman
Source: llvm-toolchain-3.7
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Build using apt-get source -b
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Warnings and a few errors.

I grepped the upstream warnings and errors out of the full build log and
attached the result. Mostly unused variables and improper casts, and one test
script recurring error, but possibly a useful list for someone to look at
anyway.

Full build log (10M) is available if desired.

Bug#782569: lxde: Applications start on laptop when primary monitor is external

2015-04-14 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: lxde
Version: 6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed a new system from jessie-rc2 last week. I chose LXDE desktop (new
to me) when installing. I configured using LXRandR Monitor Settings to have
my external monitor above the laptop LCD monitor. Then I'm pretty sure I used
the Panel Preferences applet to change the Position of the Task bar from
Monitor 2 to Monitor 1 (Monitor 1 is the one in the top position, my external
monitor.

What happens is, when I initiate almost any application, from a menu or from a
desktop icon, the new window opens on the secondary monitor (laptop LCD). It's
quite disconcerting, because the menu bar is on the other monitor and I have
the laptop lid partly closed so I can see over the top. So it takes me a couple
of retries before I figure out the window is opening on the laptop.

There are two exceptions I have noticed, where the window opens on the correct
monitor: Desktop Preferences and LXSession configuration.

My windows manager is listed as openbox, and this bug may belong there. In fact
while I was writing this bug I found a menu item under Preferences called
Openbox Configuration Manager, and within the Windows tab an item where I could
change the Primary Monitor from Fixed Monitor to Active Monitor ... no that
didn't fix it .. to Monitor with Mouse Pointer, which resulted in the correct
behaviour.

BTW, Desktop Settings and LXSession configuration still open correctly after
setting the Openbox windows preference.

I'm going to file this bug even though I found a solution, because 1) I think
the default behaviour is wrong, and 2) so that other people who run across it
may find the bug and earn how to solve the issue.

 Andreas, I think your bug is #769069, which is a recent regression:
 your system is presumably much less slow than Chris's.

 Chris, with hindsight, your symptoms look a lot like #769069; but they
 can't be a
 regression in that version of dbus, because your bug report is older
 than the change that has caused the regression for others.

 It would be great if you could install the test package described in
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769069#85
 which will log a message containing Connection has not authenticated soon
 enough
 when authentication takes too long - I suspect that's the failure case that
 you're reaching.


Unfortunately, I've sold my G4 on, so I can't retest. Sounds reasonable
though.

Bug#762316: To avoid installer lock-up, iso-scan should always ask if more than one iso image is found

2014-09-20 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: iso-scan
Version: 1.53
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Debian Install System Team,

I found a bug using iso-scan in the installer image downloaded from

http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz

dated 2 Aug 2014.

The bug is only triggered under the following conditions:

1) debconf priority = high or greater
2) More than one iso image in the folder where iso-scan detects an iso.

I marked it important, though, because of the consequences. In my case, I
started to see this error in console 2 when trying to ls:

ls: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ls)

As you can imagine, this meant I couldn't do ANYTHING after this, other
than hold the power button down on the computer for 5 seconds. Every menu
item fails, including the Abort menu item.

The problem was that I had two iso-scan images on the root of the
partition. The first one alphabetically was a CD for wheezy, while the
second was the one I wanted ... for jessie. What iso-scan did, under high
debconf priority, was just use the first iso, even though it was
inappropriate for the jessie installer. I got a warning about no modules,
and after that was when the GLIBC error started coming up. It didn't matter
what response I selected to the modules error; it was already too late.

If instead debconf is set to medium or low, iso-scan asks which iso you
want to use. This should be the behaviour, no matter what the debconf
level, if more than one iso image is found. Otherwise we go from asking for
a scan to complete failure, just for having two isos in the folder.

Chris

 Hi Chris,

 A kernel crash is usually not the fault of userspace applications -
 it's a kernel bug. For kernel bugs, full kernel logs are needed for

Bug#761468: libc6-dev: On new jessie install, FTBFS for libantlr3c-3.2 due to misplaced sys/cdefs.h

Dear Maintainer,

On a new jessie install (amd64 installed 11 Sept 2014), I used
apt-get source libantlr3c, cd to antlr3c-3.2, ./configure, and make.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Build from source

Upon investigation, I saw that /usr/include/features.h references
sys/cdefs.h, and there is no sys folder in /usr/include. Instead cdefs.h is
found in x86_64-linux-gnu/sys. This would be a problem for all these other
/usr/include files as well:

I'm no C expert, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. But it sounds a bit
like bug #685519, and maybe #637232. Is it possible it's something that
would
affect a new install more severely, as the old headers might not be removed
during an upgrade?

I tried

root@debian:/usr/include# ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/sys sys

... but that led to the next error

In file included from /usr/include/features.h:374:0,
 from /usr/include/stdio.h:27,

   ^
compilation terminated. Likewise I did

root@debian:/usr/include# ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/bits bits

Next was

 #include gnu/stubs.h

root@debian:/usr/include# ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/gnu gnu

This is obviously not the right approach. It's now looking for stubs-32.h
which
doesn't exist:

Bug#760712: WEP vs WPA2

2014-09-11 Thread Chris Tillman
With this installation I was using WPA2-Personal at the access point. I see the
log messages look similar as in bug #741622, deauthenticating immediately
after connect.

For a later install on the same computer, also to USB target, I used WEP
in the installer to connect to the access point (installation
report #761148). So possibly the problem has to do with WPA2 as opposed
to WEP.

Bug#760246: Resurrection 633782

2014-09-03 Thread Chris Tillman
I just realized that problem would actually be in the initrd, which I
obtained from

http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz

rather than in the cdrom.

Bug#760142: systemd: Assertions from systemd-logind on powerpc during login, with continuing loop

2014-09-02 Thread Chris Tillman
Yes, it is installed on a USB hard disk. I mentioned it in the first
bug report I filed, but that one was rejected because I was
inadvertantly booting with the wrong kernel, and I forgot to mention
it in the second version. And yes, I think the timing issue could be
getting exacerbated because of the slowness of USB.

I'm pretty sure the PPC G4 has USB1.1, and I think maybe the little
USB hard disk interface box I'm using does too. They are both like
2003 vintage.

The speed doesn't matter much to me, as I'm only using the machine to
do testing for Debian, not to actually do work on. I installed Wheezy
on the actual hard disk for the machine, and I didn't want to disturb
that ... hence why I installed on the USB disk instead.

If testing _did_ work, I would put together a new release of my
Debian-imac collection on Sourceforge with it, and update the actual
hard disk. My first forays a few months back with jessie on this
machine were complete flops, so I can see the progress that's been
made in that time.

 Chris, your Debian root filesystem appears to be on a USB-attached disk

 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58737 seems to be a
 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2507 Hi-speed USB to IDE bridge
 controller). Please confirm whether this is the case? (Relevant logs
 below.)

 This is something that *should* work, but it's an unusual enough
 configuration that it would have been helpful to mention it, and if (as
 I suspect) there are timeout issues here, USB is probably going to hurt
 performance enough to matter - it looks as though you're not just on a
 system with a slow CPU, you're also on a system with a slow connection
 to its disk.

 Further, it looks as though your USB disk is connected at full speed
 rather than at high speed. That sounds as though it ought to be a good
 thing, but it isn't: confusingly, the USB Implementers Forum defines
 full speed to be the full speed of USB 1 (12 Mbit/s), whereas high
 speed is the enhanced signalling rate from USB 2 (480 Mbit/s). A disk
 on a 12 Mbit/s bus is never going to be very fast. If this machine has
 USB 2, check that you are not using a USB 1 hub to connect the disk. If
 it does not, consider adding USB 2 via a PCI or Cardbus expansion card,
 or using an internal disk or Firewire instead.

 Thanks,
 S

Bug#760142: systemd: Assertions from systemd-logind on powerpc during login, with continuing loop

2014-09-01 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: systemd
Version: 208.8

(note: for some reason reportbug originally inserted the package and
version into the subject ...)

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I installed from a testing CD downloaded in early August. I
ran into login problems, but discovered I
had booted with a Wheezy kernel originally. After
reconfiguring to boot with a correct kernel,
and configuring a successful xorg.conf, the problems remained.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
I updated the system (all packages) using aptitude to the very
latest testing version as of Aug 30.
I then shut down the system and booted fresh on Aug 31. That
is the log I have attached.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
The lightdm greeter comes up, and I can type in the user name
and password, but then the greeter
restarts. The greeeter came up again, and this time I just
waited. The greeter restarted again.
Finally after the greeter came up, I changed to Xfce and
entered user name and password. But
the greeter still just restarted.

In the journal log of the session (attached), I saw assertions
from both lightdm and systemd-logind.
The first assertion in the log was from systemd-logind, so I
filed the bug on systemd. However there
were also failures of both packages previous to the first
assertion. Here is a grep of only the
assertions from the log.

Aug 31 09:11:24 debian systemd-logind[908]: Assertion 's-user-slice'
failed at ../src/login/logind-session.c:531, function
session_start_scope(). Aborting.

's-user-slice' failed at ../src/login/logind-session.c:531, function
session_start_scope(). Aborting.

I also note many timeout log entries. This is a rather slow
machine (PowerPC G4) compared to typical
modern ones, so the timeouts might be set too short?

In addition, when filing this bug report as it said it was
gathering additional data, before the
question about fstab, this message appeared (I am filing from
the console):

Activation of org.freedesktop.systemd1 timed out

This is reflected by the following log statement. So I suspect
the same bug prevented getting additional info.
I am happy to provide additional info if needed.

 There are quite a few more D-Bus services besides
 org.freedesktop.systemd1 which time out.
 It seems also that all services which use Type=dbus in their .service
 file enter the failed state.
 So this seems to be a D-Bus related issue.

 What's the output of systemctl status dbus.service dbus.socket
 after the boot?

 Is this problem reproducible after a reboot?

Yes, it's the same on every boot. I issue systemctl stop lightdm.service to
stop it cycling back to VT7. And it needs systemct stop systemd.login.d to
stop the cycling altogether.

Bug#760014: win32-loader This program doesn't support dialog box hidden by browser window

2014-08-30 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: win32-loader
Version: 0.7.5

I downloaded the daily-build jessie iso today for amd64. I double
clicked on the downloaded file and Windows 8 opened it as disk F:.

I tried double clicking setup.exe on F: from within Windows 8. The
Choose Language dialog box appeared, and I clicked OK. The computer
beeped, a Debian-installer loader message alert box was displayed, and
the file:///F:/README.html page was displayed in the browser.

The issue I have is that the web page is displayed _last_. The dialog
box displaying the problem was hidden behind the browser window. I
didn't notice the dialog box until I went to shut down the computer,
after having been confused by the nice README information but assuming
there must have been some problem anyway.

Is there any way to reliably make the dialog box appear _after_ the
browser window comes up? That would make more sense in this instance.

Bug#758934: xserver-xorg: Segfault with Rage 128 driving VGA monitor on powerpc (works on Wheezy)

2014-08-22 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+7
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
First, I tried booting without creating an xorg.conf. The result was a
repeating loop of the last 3 lines:
[   267.863] (==) RandR enabled
[   268.004] (II) SELinux: Disabled on system
[   268.028] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable

[   268.325] (EE) R128(0): R128CCEWaitForIdle: CCE idle -9
Next, I tried generating a config with X -configure. Same reult. Finally,
I tried substituting the config which works under Wheezy on the same machine.
That resulted in the reported segfault.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)? Nothing was effective to get X started.
   * What was the outcome of this action? No GUI
   * What outcome did you expect instead? GUI

The segfault (full log attached below by reportbug):

Hi Michael,


 - Is this problem reproducible (after a reboot

Yes

 - Did you run the command as root or regular user?

As root. I haven't been able to boot into the graphic environment as yet,
I've been booting single-user. If that's important, I'll disable X so I can
get on another console.

- Do you have a /var/log/journal directory? If so, what does it contain
 (ls -Rla /var/log/journal/)?

I did create one after reading another bug about multiple session
journalctl. In that bug, you thought all that should be necessary was to
create the dir. That did work, and here is ls -Rla. The journal file is
being appended on each boot, so the backup files are the same size as the
main file.
/var/log/journal:
total 12

-rw-r- 1 root systemd-journal 8388608 Aug 21 17:04 system.journal


 - If you move the journal directory away and create a new one, is the
 problem gone?

After moving it out of the way, it returns No journal files found. Same
after re-creating /var/log/journal. After moving the directory back, the
assertion returns.

 - Can you install systemd-dbg and create a backtrace using gdb, please.

 So that looks like a corrupted journal then, causing the abort.

 It's probably best if you file this issue upstream and share the
 problematic journal file (if you don't have any privacy concerns), so
 the upstream developers have a chance reproducing the issue.

 Once you filed the bug report upstream, please report back so we can
 link the bug reports.

 That seems invalid -- which kernel version do they belong to then?
 kmod/modprobe/etc. deliberately don't look there.

 How did you get a module installed into that path?

2014-08-17 Thread Chris Tillman
I'm prevented from switching to the console, I think because that is locked
out while X is starting. But starting in single mode, and running startx
from there, I got a different result. Still no mouse or keyboard input
available, and no login. It goes straight to a desktop display, with icons
on theleft for Home, File System, Trsh, and the disk volumes available.
There is a window in front which says Welcome to the first start of the
panel in bold, and Choose below which setup you want for the first
startup. with two buttons, Use default config or One empty panel.

Maybe this could be related to my /llib/modules folder being mis-named? See
758394. That might explain the missing mouse, anyway.

The computer is unresponsive at this point, can't switch back to the
console. Have to shut it down. And bedtime here with work tomorrow, so next
update in 20 hours or so :)

Chris

 Just switch to the console, stop it and then start X directly (or use

  Could you send use the output of

  I was wrong, the modules aren't located in /lib/modules. The modules

 So it seems you are booted with a wheezy kernel, but the modules

 In any case, this is not a systemd issue, Therefor closing this bug report.
 You might check your /boot directory and your boot loader configuration.
 Maybe this is pointing to a copy of the wheezy kernel

 Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation? While investigating another bug,
 I used journalctl. I noticed in the output that modules
 were not being loaded.
* What was the outcome of this action? Later on the sound that depends
 on the sound module, for example, is inoperative.
* What outcome did you expect instead? Modules properly loaded

Bug#640789: Crash on folder name with spaces

2014-08-13 Thread Chris Tillman
Hi Cyril,

Thanks for your attention. I think that was my patch. (Chris Tillman).

The only line the patch is affecting is the one with find $dir, adding the
quotes to make it find $dir.

The rest of it certainly does look strange, but anyway it works if you just
add the quotes. Maybe another time to refactor it, because we have been
waiting years for this patch already.

I verified today it is still present in the current testing installer.

Chris

 This part is certainly OK; at least I can't think of a reason why that
 wouldn't be a good thing.

 but then that means we're possibly going to fail here. Example:

 kibi@wodi:~/isos$ for iso in $isolist; do echo Found ISO $iso; done
 Found ISO ./foo
 Found ISO bar/foobar.iso
 Found ISO ./baz/baz.iso


 I guess it would make sense to fix this for real instead of hiding it a
 bit further. Unfortunately 4am isn't a great time to set up a reproducer
 and to keep on hacking. :/

 (Also, sorry for the lag.)

Bug#747684: tracker-miner-fs: Root terminal fails to open; error (tracker-miner-fs:3546): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_timer_continue: assertion 'timer-active == FALSE' failed

2014-05-10 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: tracker-miner-fs
Version: 0.16.2-1+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
After upgrading from stable to testing, the root terminal window refuse to
open. The permission window opens, and accepts the password, but the root
terminal doesn't open. The regular terminal window opens fine.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
I used tty1 to access root commands instead.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
The user/.cache/gdm/session.log shows errors when the Root Terminal is
attempted to be open. I am attaching logs before and after the attempt right
after a restart.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Root terminal window opens, no errors in logs.

Bug#747384: cdimage.debian.org: Powerpc testing image contains mismatched kernel and modules

2014-05-08 Thread Chris Tillman
Package: cdimage.debian.org
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I tried to use the jessie installer downloaded from
http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-
powerpc/current/images/powerpc/hd-media/

with the iso downloaded from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-
powerpc-netinst.iso
dated 2014-05-05

In the installer, I was warned that no modules were available. I checked uname
-a, and the installer had linux-image-powerpc-3.13-1 (3.13.5-1).

The iso got loaded OK from the hard disk. I then checked the iso contents and
verified there were no modules available for that kernel. It looked like some
were available for other kernels like image-powerpc-smp and image-powerpc64.

After quitting the installation (no installation was possible) I checked in

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/powerpc/list-cd/debian-testing-
powerpc-netinst.list.gz

It looked like the modules are version 3.14, while the kernels are version
3.13:

is the same symptom shown in iso-scan bug 640789, caused by an unquoted
$dir variable in a find command within iso-scan.postinst. OP, did the
volume you were trying to query have any paths with spaces in it? That
would cause this error.

Bug#640789: Same patch applies for more bugs

The patch is a simple fix, and should be applied with urgency. It will also
fix some other bugs

Frans Pop seems to have noticed this in bug 440301 and thought he fixed it
in 2007:

P.S. It does look like there is a minor bug in isoscan (which should not
affect this case though). The first call in line 111 uses quotes, the
second one in line 166 does not; I think this will make the comparison in
line 167 always false (if there are multiple DEVS). I've fixed that.

So, here it is 7 years later. How can this bug still exist?

Bug#628991: Repeated, some more info, patch

2014-02-10 Thread Chris Tillman
Tags: patch

Hi,

I got the same failure when trying to install on PowerPc. I believe it is
related to quoting as the submitter suggested. iso-scan first looks at the
root level to find iso's, then scans each first-level directory as well,
using the BusyBox find command. When parentheses or spaces are included in
the folder name passed to the find command, an error results.

To make a long story short, here is the patch that fixed it for my
installation:

--- iso-scan.postinst rev 1298
+++ iso-scan.postinst.patched

  Something like that. Perhaps that's what the -v --show-why options do.
 

 Use 'o' when examining a solution in the curses interface.  On the

Bug#570377: Fwd: [Aptitude-devel] Bug#570377: aptitude chooses to remove packages instead of upgrading

2014-02-03 Thread Chris Tillman
Thanks very much for your reply and explanation, Daniel. I can appreciate
that fiddling with defaults is a serious consideration. However, the
scoring system replaced the tiered system where removals were considered
less desirable than upgrades. So longtime users perceived a drastic change
in behaviour and in aptitude's attitude.

I don't know why, with equal scores, aptitude now prefers the removals
option. Even with 3 to remove or 2 to upgrade, it still suggests the
removals first. By adjusting the default just one point, its behaviour was
completely different and it became a pleasure to use rather than seeming a
constant battle. There may not be a philosophical difference between
recommending removal of 3 packages including gnome, vs. upgrading 2
packages including the one you asked to upgrade, but there is definitely a
psychological difference. So I'd argue that the 1-point advantage given to
upgrades would represent that psychological preference.

I really wonder about even the philosophical difference being 0. Users are
attempting to maintain their system. If a user asks for an install or
upgrade, surely more upgrades would be preferable. If they are doing
removals or downgrades, then perhaps removals would be the direction they
would want to go. Perhaps aptitude could be more sensitive to the requested
operation and adjust priorities accordingly. Would you be open to a patch
for that?

And, in any case, I certainly can't understand why the defaults chosen
should be carved in stone. 1, 2, 5 ... these seem to have been
set nearly arbitrarily. Do we have any data about real-world user actions,
i.e. x choices presented in scored order and score[i] actually chosen, that
would allow us to zero in on truly representative weights which minimise i?

Thanks,
Chris

 Hi

 Thanks for your interest and patch.  Unfortunately, it is not an
 acceptable solution to apply to the _default_ settings.

 There is nothing fundamentally better or worse about either removals
 or installs, in some situations you might find this:

  solution 1: upgrade 20 packages
  solution 2: remove 1

 Whichever is more preferable in these situations is up to the
 individual user to decide based on whatever particular packages are
 suggested for upgrade, install, or removal--aptitude can not know how
 the user values those individual actions.  The point of the safety
 cost _levels_ is to broadly class categories of actions, and in that
 sense, installing or upgrading to a package in the target release is
 no better or worse than removing a non-essential package.

 Tweaking the default settings as per the patch here is not to be done
 lightly.  Considering the architecture of the problem resolver as a
 whole, it is not an acceptable solution.

 I recommend any of Axels suggestions for individual users who are
 bothered by this, especially the comments about guiding the resolver
 by e.g. rejecting particular actions _before_ asking for the next
 solution.  This is also covered in the users manual, _Resolving
 Dependencies Interactively_.  That is the most effective way of
 informing the resolver about your desires.

Ah, now I got a proper patch from debdiff. I hadn't gotten aptitude built
yet the first time.

In actual usage on my system, it suggests upgrades first rather than
removals (without any prefs in apt.conf or on the cmdline).

 The latter works better for this issue, but no more allows you to

 This can be annoying, too, and is totally unsuited for dist-upgrades
 between two stable releases. It hence is _NOT_ a general solution, but
 is very suitable for unattended upgrades of security upates.
 aptitude-robot uses it for a while now.

 The first variant is probably better suited for general use case, but
 can still cause packages to not be upgraded at all due to conflicts
 with obosolete packages which actually really should be removed. (I

Bug#570377: More information

2014-02-01 Thread Chris Tillman
I found that adding the apt.conf option

Aptitude::Always-Use-Safe-Resolver true;

results in aptitude selecting the upgrade rather than the removal, but ONLY
command-line aptitude. command-line obeys apt.conf, even disregarding the
command-line full-upgrade invocation.

On the other hand, TUI aptitude seems to have disregarded apt.conf; this
may be related to bug
#485832https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485832
.

I will continue to look for the root cause and a desirable solution.

2014-01-29 Thread Chris Tillman
I second (3rd? 4th?) this request. I upgraded to the latest 0.6.8.3 and it
still does the same thing. Choice between 1) 48 removals or 2) 1 upgrade. I
do have a lot of manually held packages as well, so I think Martin von
