Bug#997925: qemu-system-data: keymap files placed in wrong directory?
Package: qemu-system-data Version: 1:6.1+dfsg-7 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: dbr...@schutzwerk.com Dear Maintainer, since today I receive the following error when launching qemu: $ /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-rng-pci \ -device virtio-net,netdev=user.0 -m 1024M \ -name packer_base_image -machine type=pc,accel=kvm -display gtk \ -boot once=d -netdev user,id=user.0,hostfwd=tcp::2235-:22 \ -vnc 127.0.0.1:76 \ -drive file=output-qemu/packer_base_image,if=virtio,cache=writeback,discard=ignore,format=raw \ -drive file=,media=cdrom qemu-system-x86_64: -vnc 127.0.0.1:76: could not read keymap file: 'en-us' Now, using strace I can see that qemu is trying to access the paths /usr/share/qemu/keymaps/en-us, /usr/share/seabios/keymaps/en-us and /usr/lib/ipxe/qemu/keymaps/en-us before failing. According to the package database, at least /usr/share/qemu/keymaps/en-us should be provided by qemu-system-data (https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/all/qemu-system-data/filelist). However, the directory /usr/share/qemu/keymaps does not exist. I observed that the file /usr/share/qemu/en-us exists instead of /usr/share/qemu/keymaps/en-us. And the following commands can actually be used to work around the problem: sudo mkdir /usr/share/qemu/keymaps; \ sudo cp /usr/share/qemu/en-us /usr/share/qemu/keymaps So it appears to me that the keymap files are placed in the wrong directory? According to my dpkg logs, I upgraded qemu-system-data from 1:6.1+dfsg-6 to 1:6.1+dfsg-7 this morning (27.10.2021). However, it might have been broken for longer since I haven't used qemu for a few weeks. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- no debconf information OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Good news so far in that I have seen no ill-effects from zapping resolvconf and sysv-rc in favor of openrc. The only gotcha I have seen so far was I needed to upgrade the VMware Player software I had on the machine. Not a huge deal as I probably should have done that a while ago.

Sorry if this gets totally hosed by not getting to the proper thread. If this helps any, I have sysv-rc installed, which seems to bring systemd et.al., to the party. I noticed this starting to happen within the last week, though, I can't remember exactly when. When I try to switch from sysv-rc to openrc, the only conflict is that resolvconf does not accept openrc as an alternative for sysv-rc. The version of resolvconf I have installed is 1.74 on a jessie system. I can't see why I have resolvconf installed to be honest. May be a hold-over from previous installations as I use puppet to manage my systems. Going to try to removing resolvconf, switching to openrc from sysv-rc, then see what happens. Will report back after a bit of testing. I know doesn't affect root cause, but may provide a work-around for systemd getting installed!

That way you don't feel you are always living in a degraded state. Hi, David. I appreciate the concern, but I am not at all concerned about "living in a degraded state". I'm far more concerned about data loss and the fact that this bug has seemingly revealed that some commonly held assumptions and uses of software raid are wrong, with potentially far-reaching affects. I also don't see how the setup you're describing will avoid this bug. If this bug is triggered by having a layer between md and the filesystem and then changing the raid configuration by adding or removing a disk, then I don't see how there's a difference between hot-adding to a degraded array and growing a single-disk raid1. In fact, I would suspect that your suggestion would be more problematic because it involves *two* raid reconfigurations (grow and then shrink) rather than one (hot-add) to achieve the same result. I imagine that each raid reconfiguration could potentially triggering the bug. But I still don't have a clear understanding of what is going on here to be sure. I didn't mean to suggest this as a way around these issues - I was just making a side point. Like you and others in this thread, I am concerned about failures that could be caused by having the sort of layered and non-homogeneous raid you describe. I merely mentioned single-disk raid1 "mirrors" as an interesting feature you can get with md raid. Many people don't like to have their system in a continuous error state - it can make it harder to notice when you have a /real/ problem. And single-disk "mirrors" gives you the same features, but no "degraded" state. As you say, it is conceivable that adding or removing disks to the raid could make matters worse. From what I have read so far, it looks like you can get around problems here if the usb disk is attached when the block layers are built up (i.e., when the dm-crypt is activated, and the lvm and filesystems on top of it). It should then be safe to remove it, and re-attach it later. Of course, it's hardly ideal to have to attach your backup device every time you boot the machine! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It looks like it is a known issue with kcheckpass and ldap authentication that kcheckpass needs to be setuid. See http://lists.fini.net/pipermail/ldap-interop/2005-January/000208.html and search for kcheckpass. kscreensaver invokes kcheckpass like so: kcheckpass -c kscreensaver -m classic -S 13 This results in: Communication breakdown on write Once kcheckpass is setuid it works. According to the post referenced above, the real fix is to write a setuid wrapper to access the credentials cache. I don't know if debian is even using that cache; I can't find it. Regardless, kcheckpass will fail when ldap authentication is used currently. Adding the setuid bit fixes it. This should probably be considered a workaround until a safer, more permanent fix is found. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (650, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-1-386 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
