Bug#1038463: cegui-mk2: Is this library still useful to have in Debian?

2024-01-03 Thread Frank Loeffler

Hi,

just to add a small bit of information:

If cegui-mk2 is no longer useful, we could remove it from the archive 
to avoid it taking up QA time.


A game that still uses the library, although not being shipped with 
Debian (while in principle, it could), is "The Secret Chronicles of Dr. 
M." (https://secretchronicles.org/en/).


On that note: the current version in Debian is called 
"0.8.7+git20220615-3". I did assume this is the git version of the 
master branch on date 20220615 of the main repo 
https://github.com/cegui/cegui/. However, that cannot be, as changes 
made in that repo are not present in the Debian package. One example is 
Editbox.cpp: compare that file in


https://github.com/cegui/cegui/tree/master/cegui/src/widgets (2 years 
old)


to the one here:

https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/cegui-mk2/-/tree/master/cegui/src/widgets?ref_type=heads 
(8 years old)


That file is special only insofar as TSC currently faces the problem 
that the version of cegui in Debian is too old to be used with a 
"current" build against cegui, see 
https://github.com/Secretchronicles/TSC/issues/708.

Dependencies of pulseaudio-dlna recently changed quite a bit, so
updating to the newest version is likely not going to work well (with
other system-installed dependencies and other software depending on
those). However, I could without problem build release 0.6.3, which
works on Debian stable and also officially should work with the
libraries present in Debian stable.

Versions > 0.5.2 are available from here: 
https://github.com/Cygn/pulseaudio-dlna .

I am reporting this here even though the previous report was for
unstable because quite likely versions of dependencies are the problem
in both cases and similar fixes/updates could be made in both cases.

Without any change, this package is quite unuseable also on Debian
stable, so 'grave' seems to be the correct severity.

Bug#1002010: find-completion: don't look for -exec etc command if completing before it

2022-03-05 Thread Frank Loeffler

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.11-2

Hi,

the same happens with Debian stable (bash-completion version 2.11-2). 
The same patch applies, cleanly, to that version too, and fixes the 
issue there as well.


As the fix is that simple and prevents a rather annoying crash, I hope 
this could be pushed into stable.

OK, I'll uploaded a patched 1.20.2 to backports then.


I don't find a new version in backports. In case I didn't do something 
wrong and there is no new version yet: do you have a time estimate when 
you will be able to do so? I want to emphasize that all I want to know

or to try to rebuild it myself.

Thanks for your interest, too.

If run-mailcap is used by some mail program or script for mailcap 
support, then it's a vector for arbitrary command execution. Perhaps 
this deserves its own bug report.


It very possibly might. Would you be interested in opening one? The 
information you have given here might be enough.


As a consequence, it's impossible to force the use of, say emacs, for 
all text subtypes without explicitly enumerating them (generated rules 
can change anytime).

This is a violation of the rfc, which states that "The configuration information 
will be obtained from the FIRST matching entry".


Again, it would be nice to report that.


In summary, mailcap is harmful.
And I won't feel safe until I can get rid of it.


I do agree that there are problems but I don't have the time or energy 
to implement a replacement. However, at least there must be a documented 
way how things should be implemented to be safe. Only then can we start 
to successfully file actual security-bugs against packages that don't 
follow that rule, and with that, open security leaks in their packages, 
but also others. We tried without documentation, and failed. This is 
what this bug here is about.

Hi, thanks a lot! I can confirm that this works also on my Thinkpad
E460. Since you can probably provide more details, could you forward
this to kernel.org?


Hi,

just to add one tiny bit of confirmation: this helped also in my case 
(big thanks!):


I am on Buster with a Lenovo Thinkpad T460, with kernels 4.19.0.8 and 
5.4.0.0.bpo.4 installed. Suspend works fine with 4.19.0.8. The same 
system fails consistently when booted with 5.4, in the same way reported 
earlier: the system starts to suspend, but stops somewhere close to the 
finish line: display is black (don't remember if backlight was off, but 
I think it was), power-led is blinking, but the led-indicators like mute 
stay on. I cannot say something about the fan, as it is usually not 
running for me anyway. Nothing brings the laptop back at this stage 
other than pressing the power-button for like 10 seconds (complete 
restart): no shorter press of the power button, no lid action. Both 
should, and with the 4.19 kernel, do.


With above blacklisting, suspend now also works for kernel version 5.4.

Big thanks again - and it would be interesting to follow this at the 
kernel.org-level (to know when to remove the blacklist again).

Bug#950319: libreoffice: filename replacements in mime entries for mailcap must not be quoted within the given command

Hi Rene,

On Fri, Jan 31, 2020 at 05:28:58PM +0100, Rene Engelhard wrote:
Using mutt, I created a new email, added an attachment with a file 
name

containing spaces (a pptx file, thus libreoffice), and without sending

I know. What I meant is that this is the reason I submit this to the 
libreoffice package.



Just that mutt is one thing. Maybe mutt does it correct, but
unfortunately mutt users are not really the majority, people use
thunderbird or evolution or so...


For thunderbird I find, e.g.:

message/rfc822; /usr/bin/thunderbird %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
text/calendar; /usr/bin/thunderbird %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
text/x-vcard; /usr/bin/thunderbird %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

firefox:

text/html; /usr/bin/firefox-esr %s; description=HTML Text; test=test -n 
"$DISPLAY";  nametemplate=%s.html
text/xml; /usr/bin/firefox-esr %s; description=XML Text; test=test -n 
"$DISPLAY";  nametemplate=%s.xml


evolution:

text/calendar; evolution -c tasks %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
text/x-vcard; evolution -c tasks %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
text/directory; evolution -c tasks %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

None of these tools use quotes.

Searching through my /etc/mapcap, I find the vast majority not using 
quotes around %s, but some do, including libreoffice. It might be good 
to submit bugs to all of those, too. However, since I encountered this 
with libreoffice during regular work and the entries on my system are 
likely only a subset of the problematic ones, I'll leave it up to 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=928037 to care about a 
general solution.


Whether another tool assumes the libreoffice mailcap entries containing 
quotes already would not make a difference though. If, supposedly, 
another tool does not quote filenames (assuming mailcap does that), then 
this would still be a security problem. Instead of "file; echo Hello" 
one would name the file "'file; echo Hello'" or similar. As mentioned, 
no amount of quoting in the mailcap is able to prevent shell escapes. 
This is why the replacing program must be the one doing this. Thus, if 
any tool using mailcap does not quote filenames properly and only relies 
on mailcap to do it for them, that would be a (security) bug within that 
tool.
On the other hand, using quotes in the entry unfortunately breaks those 
tools that work the intended way.


I agree that this is confusing. I commented on a related bug within mutt 
first, only later realizing that mutt actually does it the right way. 
#928037 contains thoughts about this, including links to other threads, 
that show the problem from a more or less neutral view. This is why 
#928037 exists: the RFC is rather unhelpful and other documentation does 
not really show users how those entries should be handled, right now.


Greetings, and thanks for your quick response,

Frank

Bug#950319: libreoffice: filename replacements in mime entries for mailcap must not be quoted within the given command

2020-01-31 Thread Frank Loeffler
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:5.2.7-1+deb9u11
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

Using mutt, I created a new email, added an attachment with a file name
containing spaces (a pptx file, thus libreoffice), and without sending
the email yet, I tried to open that file from within mutt.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

libreoffice opened, but complained about not finding files with each
component of the filename containing spaces.

Mutt used /etc/mailcap. I understand those are generated from the files
DEBIAN/*.mime.

Those lines look like this:

application/rtf; soffice --nologo --writer '%s'; edit=soffice --nologo
--writer '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description="Rich Text Format";
nametemplate=%s.rtf; priority=3

Note the quotes around the filename placeholder %s.

What happened is that, as it should, mutt properly quoted whatever it
was replacing %s with, in that case using single quote. So, in effect,
the following command was executed:


soffice --nologo --writer ''file with spaces''

And since '' is starting and immediately ending the quotation,
libreoffice saw three arguments.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The filename should have been given as one argument to libreoffice.

Following #928037 and references therein, I believe that the correct
solution is to not use '%s' in the mime files distributed with the
Debian packages: it should just be a simple %s, no quotes. Quoting is
the task of the program replacing %s.

Also note, that while using quotes is likely due to security concerns,
no amount of quoting can actually help here, as this very bug shows.

I even believe that this is a security bug and should be fixed in stable
and oldstable as well: using properly constructed filenames, commands
can be injected when using these commands, due to undoing quotations
done by the replacing program.

Since these lines are commonly used to, e.g., display email attachments,
this can be an easy way to gain access to a system just by having
someone open an attachment marked to be handled by libreoffice.

While this bug is submitted against oldstable, even current git includes
the same definitions, e.g., see:

https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice/blob/master/libreoffice-writer.mime

Bug#721931:

2013-12-19 Thread Frank Loeffler
Hi,

Is it known (ideally by upstream) whether the OpenMP pragmas are
correct, i.e. that there are no bugs when OpenMP is enabled? I agree
with upstream that disabling OpenMP by not giving the relevant compiler
flags is not a problem, but it is still strange to have pragmas but not
to use them when compiling.

Usually this points to either code in development or some bug in the
OpenMP imlementation. In both cases disabling OpenMP via compiler flags
is a quick way to avoid problems on user side, but it would be nice to
know what upstreams reason to do this really is.

Version: 2.02.98-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have a setup with hot-plug drives with LVM on them and would like to
have them automatically activated when plugged in. The way to achieve
this, at least according to what I found on the web, is to make lvm
aware of hotplug events, and the way to do that is to let it use
information from lvmetad using 'use_lvmetad=1' in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.
This option is described even in the package for wheezy, but I didn't
find 'lvmetad' in the lvm2 package.

Looking at the source package in unstable I didn't find the
corresponding '--enable-lvmetad' option to configure, and I found this
in the Debian build log:

checking whether to build LVMetaD... no

I can understand why lvmetad might not be enabled by default. Is there a
reason not to build it? (This is not rhetoric; I really like to know
whether there is a reason not to build it.)

Even if it is now too late to get anything like this into wheezy: it
would be nice to have a patch which enables lvmetad so that someone can
either build their own package easily or maybe even get it later from
backports, should it enter there.

thanks, Frank Loeffler

 For a couple of years now flite in Debian has shipped a CLUSTERGEN voice of

Also, thank you for pointing me to flite. I just tried it and it worked
like a charm. I will use it instead of festival from now on.

 I suggest that in this sense the feature required to close this bug has

Bug#665876: merge - but still affecting squeeze

This is most likely a cause of #667985, which has been fixed in sid.
However, a similar bug also affects stable and can be fixed using a
similar simple patch:

Bug#444182: Squeeze please?

2010-03-15 Thread Frank Loeffler
Hi,

According to [1], squeeze will ship with the linux kernel 2.6.32.
According to this bug report, this bug is only fixed in 2.6.33. Is there
any possibility to get this fixed for squeeze?

I am willing to help if somehow possible, just tell me how. I don't like
the idea to have to (un-)patch my kernel for yet another Debian release
cycle.

Bug#559498: same here

Hi,

I see the same on a Lenny box with only the minimal updates to get gtg
installed:

Replaced python-support 0.8.4lenny1 (using python-support_1.0.6_all.deb)

I get the same error message.

I found other bug reports mentioning the same error message (but for
another packet), which relates this to a missing dependency on gtk+
2.16: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543751

This would be bad news for Lenny-users however. I am not going to change
the system that much for gtg. Is there any chance gtg could also work
with gtk+ 2.12?

After a recent security update, pidgin cannot be updated on amd64

which is in lenny.

Bug#537085: same problem here ...

2009-07-24 Thread Frank Loeffler
Hi,

this is to let you know that I seem to have the same problem.

I recently updated from the current lenny kernel (2.6.26, self-compiled,
but only with changes to one pata-driver), to the current version in sid
(2.6.30, with the same change).

Communication with my Garmin GPSMap 60csx was no problem with version
2.6.26 (using the lenny version of gpsbabel: 1.3.5-1.1), but it hangs
with version 2.6.30. Going back to 2.6.26 solves this problem.

Bug#522796: mixer-applet: uses 100% cpu after removal of soundcard

2009-04-06 Thread Frank Loeffler
Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.22.3-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I remove a sound card from the system (usb, logitech webcam, micro) which
was alsa device 0, but there is a second sound card (build-in, intel) alsa
card 1 in the system, the mixer-applet starts to use 100% cpu. Killing and
restarting the applet resolves the issue.
After the removal, card 0 is not accessable and not usable, but card 1 still
is and the number of usable cards is also still greater than 0, which might
be unexpected for some code (just my guess).

thanks, Frank

That does not work for me, at least not at the moment. All I get is a
timeout.

 gremind allows you to remind yourself of events and appointments and
 notifies you a single or several (periodic) times.

How is gremind different from tkremind? tkremind is a tk frontend to
'remind'. 'remind' can do all sorts of reminders, holiday skips ect.
while tkremind can pop up windows for timed reminders, play a sound and
be iconified.

Bug#463833: Bug#419458: ata_piix and piix claim same pci ids

2009-02-17 Thread Frank Loeffler
Hi,

I am writing to you because you reported bug #419458:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419458

cite

Package: linux-image-2.6.20-1-686
Version: 2.6.20-1
Severity: grave

Upon upgrading to this kernel, about 1/3rd of the time when I boot,
the internal drive of my laptop becomes /dev/sda. The rest of the time,
it remains /dev/hda.

/cite

As consequence of this, pata support for the ata_piix driver was
disabled in the Debian kernels and still is by means of a patch to the
Debian kernel sources. The piix driver is supposed to support that
hardware alone in Debian.

The problem now is that some hardware does not work with the piix
driver or does not provide full functionality (hot swapping): bugs
444182 and 463833, now merged. As consequence of the patch, those
users have to either (un)patch the Debian kernel after each package
update or use upstream kernels. Both is not ideal and a solution should
be found.

Before we now all go and dig into the issue it would be
interesting to know if the original bug is still present in recent
kernels. The bug was reported for 2.6.22-4 and about one and a half year
ago. Would it be possible for you to try to reproduce the bug with a
recent upstream kernel or a recent Debian kernel which does not contain
this patch?
As far as I can see, both drivers still claim to support some identical
ids. However, that should not be a problem. There are other examples of
different drivers for identical hardware.
The problem here seemed to be that the rule which driver gets
assigned to the hardware (in case both drivers are compiled in) is not
deterministic.

I CCed the bug report to keep a record of this in the data base.

I appologize if something in this email is not correct. Please correct
me in that case. I am still in the stage of trying to fully understand
the problem.

thanks, Frank Loeffler

Bug#444182: pata disabled in ata_piix

2009-02-04 Thread Frank Loeffler
Severity: important

Hi,

I was looking into the same hotswap issue and found to my surprise that
the debian kernel has the needed support _removed in the kernel sources_.

I found why this section was removed in the first place: because of bug
#419458 - two drivers claim the same ids and there is a race as to
which wins during boot, leading to different naming schemes of the
devices.

That bug should be fixed, but I think it is really going too far to
remove the support of devices from some drivers in the source.

The current situation forces Debian users to either patch the Debian
kernels everytime there is an update and build their own packages - or
to build upstream kernels. This in mind I think the patch might do good
things on one side, but does more bad things on another side.

Please consider to drop this patch and to allow for pata support in the
piix driver. It would be very nice to have this in the next major lenny
update, for lenny itself it is long too late now, sadly.

I consider the severity of this bug to be important because it has a
major effect on the usability of the package (in this case the ability to
hotswap my hard drives / dvd drive; that is what the bay in those laptops
is for in the first place) without rendering it completely unusable to
everyone.

thanks, Frank

 Supporting and not breaking thousands of machines is more important that
 supporting one.

I agree with your statement. However, I am puzzled that you claim that
this only affects one machine. This patch removes quite a lot of IDs,
which already makes it a lot of machines, not only one and certainly not
only mine.

I agree that it would be best if removing this patch again would not
cause harm to other users. Could we try to eliminate this problem
instead of ignoring it?

If I understood correctly, the situation is:

- There are two drivers which claim to support the same hardware. This
  should be fine in general.
- They implement this slitely differently (different device names). This
  should also be fine in general.
- The main problem seems to be that the order at which those drivers
  are assigned to the hardware is not fixed / cannot be specified.
  (See bug #419458).

Do I understand this correctly? If I dont, it would be very nice to give
me a hint where I can find information about the reason why this patch
is included.

Assuming I got it right, the question is, how the assignement of drivers
can be specified or at least be fixed (as in not changing), fixing bug
#419458 without removing support for PATA from ata_piix. This patch was
introduced in 2.6.20. Are you sure that the original problem is still
present in 2.6.26 or later kernels?

 So a bug, but will not be fixed soon. Tagging correctly.

Is there anything I could do to get it fixed? I assume upstream or at
least other major linux distributions would have had the same problem
and must have found a way around it?

thanks, Frank Loeffler

I did not try any of the Debian packages, because the 3.0.? version was

some point. I now tried to reproduce the bug with the same Debian

Bug#489389: patch for etch

2008-07-23 Thread Frank Loeffler
Hi,

I was bitten by the same problem. I was trying to backport that package
like I did in the past. Maybe nvidia-glx should depend on a version of
xserver-xorg-core, which contains libwfb.so. That would not help in
backporting (on the contrary), but would avaid the late error while
doing so.

Is there no way to support both versions of xserver-xorg-core, like
depending on xerver-xorg-core and depending on its version installing
the lib or not?

On the other hand, I attach a small patch for the current version, which
made it work on etch for me.

Bug#489389: improved patch for etch

2008-07-23 Thread Frank Loeffler
I am sorry, the last patch was missing one change which creates a
symlink. For some reason that symlink was present on my test system
anyway, but it should really be created by the package. Here is the
complete patch.

Bug#479805: protocol incompatibility

2008-05-06 Thread Frank Loeffler
Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.9-2etch2

When trying to copy a file (83GB) I get a protocol error. I also do get
that error when I try to force a specific protocol (tried 29, 25 and
20). I am not sure if this is a Debian bug or not, so I file it first
here. Please forward it upstream if that would be a better place.

More information is below.

thanks, Frank

Bug#479805: Acknowledgement (protocol incompatibility)

2008-05-06 Thread Frank Loeffler
Hi,

I just noticed that the rsync version on the remote site is not the one
using the rpm package as shown in the original bug report
(rsync-2.6.9-2.fc5), but indeed rsync-3.0.1, as shown in the log of the
copy process.

Sorry for the confusion.

Frank

But shouldn't *.mp3 match to any file ending in .mp3 no matter what
the characters in front are and whether they are encoded correctly or
not?

Bug#394150: Please mention '--args' in manpage

2006-10-20 Thread Frank Loeffler

Package: gdb
Version: 6.3-6
Severity: wishlist

gdb supports the '--args' option to pass arguments to the to be run 
program from the command line of 'gdb'. This is a very usefull option 
and should be mentioned in the man page.


thanks, Frank Loeffler

Bug#266779: time for green tea

2005-05-20 Thread Frank Loeffler
Well, 450s is ok I think, given that you should throw the first 
extraction away and only drink the second and maybe third. At least that 
is how the Chinese people (that I know) are doing it, and I trust them 
here. On the other hand, they leave the leafes in the cup, so a time for 
the tea is almost impossible to define.

Bug#291274: sarge

2005-04-08 Thread Frank Loeffler
Hi,
while this bug may really affect kernel 2.4.29, this kernel version is 
AFAIK not in sarge, but this bug is preventing openswan from entering sarge.

It would be nice to consider to lower the severity for this reason (or 
tagging 'sid' if that helps). On the other hand this bug does not make 
the package unusable completely in my view, so the severity might too 
high anyway.

thanks, Frank
