Bug#720309: gimp: Gimp erroneously assumes I want to convert all files to .xcf

2013-08-20 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: gimp
Version: 2.8.4-1
Severity: wishlist

   * What led up to the situation?
Opened filename.png file, edited it a bit, tried to save it. The
normal action for saving is File-Save

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Gimp wanted to create filename.xcf

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected to save my changes to filename.png. I did not want a new
file format. The file started out as a png - it only needed some editing.



I understand that xcf may be a preferred format - and the correct default
when creating a new file. But this was not a new file - I made minor
modifications to an existing file. In such cases, I expect saving to
the same file - in the same format.

If I wanted to save to a different file, I would use Save As or
possibly Export. But plain Save should save to whatever file
I opened - and in the same format. (Or possibly refuse, if I really added
something that cannot be saved to such a file. I understand that I can't
save 32-bit color to a .gif, for example.)

Trying to unconditionally reformat every file as xcf is not userfriendly.
That format may have some advantages, but gimp does not know what
I am using my files for. In this case, the file is used by a webpage
where (1) its name is hardcoded, and (2) not all clients support xcf.

I am filing this as a wishlist bug - obviously the maintainers can
take the program in whatever direction they decide. But the program
got harder to use for me, and I cannot see that this offers improvement.
So although gimp works, I consider this insistence on xfc a (small)
design bug.

Bug#675014: libroar2: Could the dependency on libdnet please be optional?

2012-05-29 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: libroar2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I installed a game that uses libroar2. And libroar2 pulls in
libdnet and dnet-common, so on every boot I get messages about
DECnet not being set up. (And some cpu time and bootup time gets
wasted). I have no plans of ever using any DECnet support, and I believe
that is the case for the vast majority of other users too.

Don't misunderstand, I think it is nice that sound via DECnet
is supported - possibly very useful for those who actually use DECnet.

But it'd be nice if this support was optional, so that no decnet
stuff will be _needed_ in order to use libroar2. It is fine that
libroar2 will use DECnet _if it is there_, but it'd be nice
if the package could be installable and useable without DECnet.
That would avoid bloating the machine with never-used stuff.

Bug#657439: apt: MMap ran out of room is bad. Please auto-adjust Cache-limit

2012-01-26 Thread Helge Hafting

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
As a programmer, I understand what happened. But it seems like a design 
bug to me.


There is a mmap limit in the config, and the admin is told how to 
increase it

when the limit disrupts the system.

This limit seems to have no use - because the admin has no real choice 
here. He MUST

increase the limit, or stop using apt-get upgrade. So the code might as
well do this automatically: Set the mmap limit based on the size of
files to process. If that is not feasible, use a loop that double the
limit and retry processing until it works. This approach may of course
end badly on a memory constrained system, but that just means apt-get
cannot be used on such a system.

Telling users to make mandatory changes that can
be done programmatically is not user-friendly.

Unless there is a hidden risk - but a system that will crash from memory 
overuse will crash anyway - it won't matter if it is

a program or the user that increase the limit.

I solved my problem by doubling the limit, but I don't know
if that will be enough forever, or what the maximum limit
on this machine is. I don't have better information than
the software has.

Bug#657441: apt: Error msg mentions nonexistant config file apt.conf

2012-01-26 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.9
Severity: minor

Apt crashed when Dynamic MMap ran out of room. The error message suggested
increasing the Cache-Limit in apt.conf, and also referred to the man page
for apt-conf. Now, that man page exists, but not the file itself.

The limit turned out to be in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80aptcachelimit

There is a trend towards splitting config files into
small machine-manipulatable files. That may be useful, but please update
the documentation (and error messages) when doing so.

There is no apt.conf. The error message could mention the
correct file. The man page ought to be for apt.conf.d which
exists, not for the historical but nonexistent apt.conf. Or for
both, if apt.conf will work if it exists.

Bug#652878: /usr/bin/localc: typing goes to the wrong oocalc window, instead of the one with focus

2011-12-21 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: libreoffice-calc
Version: 1:3.4.4-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/localc

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I opened two spreadsheets, using separate oocalc commands.
One spreadsheet for editing, the other I just wanted to look at.
I am not supposed to change the latter one at all, just use it as
a template for building the new spreadsheet.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
I clicked a cell with a formula in the template spreadsheet.
NOT for copy/paste, because the new formula has to be similar,
but NOT a copy.

Then I gave the other spreadsheet keyboard focus, in order to
type the formula there (with all sorts of clever changes, which is
why copy/paste was not appropriate.)

Problem 1: with focus gone from the first spreadsheet, the
formula in the selected cell was no longer displayed, so I
could not read it!

This was easily worked around. I clicked the cell again, and
this time I also clicked the formula itself, placing the cursor
there. I had no intention to actually edit that formula, just
make it stay visible so I could work on the other spreadsheet.

Then I moved the mouse to the other spreadsheet, and my window
manager (icewm) gave the other spreadsheet focus.

I clicked in the cell where I wanted to write, and got worried.
No cursor appeared! And when I typed anyway, nothing happened
there. Instead, the text appeared in the formula box in
the template spreadsheet, ruining the existing formula!

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Nothing happened to the spreadsheet with keyboard focus,
instead the template spreadsheet without focus got its
formula destroyed.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected my writing to go into the spreadsheet that
actaully had keyboard focus (indicated by window manager),the
spreadsheet I even had clicked on.

Not only is this useless - I get locked into a situation
where I can't type where I want, without loosing view of
the text I want to read.

Much worse: this is a gross breach of user interface expectations.
Typing ALWAYS goes into the window that the window manager gives
focus to. Always - no exceptions!

There is no such problem if I open the template spreadsheet in
gnumeric. When I then type in the new spreadsheet, text
appear where it should - in the NEW spreadsheet. Typing
does NOT make a mess in the gnumeric window that doesn't have focus.

This is rather obvious - one window has focus and have no secret
communication with the other process. And it should work in
_exactly the same way_ when using two oocalc windows.

The fact that oocalc handles both windows with a single
process, should NOT cause such mixups. Using a single
process may allow for easier copying between sheets, and
save some memory. That is fine. But keyboard focus must work perfectly.
One window may be in the middle of something special when
I swithc away from it. It may, for example, be in the middle
of editing a formula. But that should not affect the other window
at all. In this respect, they should be as separate as
windows belonging to different processes.

Similiarly - If I switch away from an ocalc formula
to type in this letter, then typing really happens
in this letter and not in the abandoned oocalc window.
Same should happen if the window I switch to happens
to be another oocalc window. Users does not expect
unusual keyboard focus arrangements between separate
oocalc windows - especially not when the window
manager clearly indicates which window is supposed
to have focus.

This was a nasty surprise, but fortunately I can
work around it using gnumeric instead. Others may
not be so lucky, if they use features that
gnumeric doesn't have.

Sorry if I seem very angry - this happened
while doing actual work . . .

Bug#652086: sysklogd deadlocks when LDAP user database is in use

2011-12-14 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.5-6.1
Severity: important


Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I upgraded debian testing today, and then the boot hung!
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or

Booted the machine.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Machine hung while running initscripts

Normal boot.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***

sysklogd starts before other services - so that they can use it for logging.
But this version of sysklogd seems to depend on username lookups
in such a way that it locks up waiting if ldap is configured. This
because ldap is not yet started when sysklogd starts.

I have some users in a ldap directory. Fortunately, it is a test
setup, therefore I could disable it without getting real problems.

Using strace, I have seen that sysklogd tries to contact the
ldap server on its port. But slapd (the ldap server) is later
in the boot process. This used to work before, but now sysklogd
gets stuck waiting for an ldap server that will never show up.

After this, every service that log anything gets stuck, waiting
for sysklogd. This include the ldap service, which normally
logs a startup message during its initialization. It gets stuck
waiting for sysklogd, which again waits for ldap, so we
have a deadlock in userspace.

This is a regression, and makes ldap-enabled machines unuseable.
Machines without ldap is not affected.

WORKAROUND 1:
1. Boot in single-user mode
2. use openvt to get an extra shell
3. run init 2
4. when everything stops, restart sysklogd using the extra shell
5. watch everything come unstuck when sysklogd dies.
   This includes the ldap server. When sysklogd restarts,
   ldap is there and everything works. Except that every
   service startup message was lost from the logs, of course.

WORKAROUND 2:
edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, disable ldap lookups there
After this, sysklogd doesn't try to use ldap too early, and works.
Clearly, this is not useful for those that use ldap in production.


IDEA FOR A FIX
ldap gets used by some people, sysklogd should still work.
Either revert to earlier
behavior, or take care to only look up stuff that a normal system
has in /etc/passwd or /etc/group.  LDAP is not tried, when the
lookup succeed with the traditional files.


I hope this is fixable somehow. I can test experimental
versions, if that is useful.

ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f samba-schema-FDS.ldif

all I get is an error. Some number in this file is invalid according to 
the schema, and the update is rejected.


Fortunately, there are guides on the net on how to create a ldif file 
from a schema file, so a working ldif file can be created from the 
samba.schema.gz file. See for example this URL:


http://www.zarafa.com/wiki/index.php/OpenLdap:_Switch_to_dynamic_config_backend_%28cn%3Dconfig%29#Convert_schema_files_for_import 



I have created such a file and it worked for me. It is attached as 
samba.ldif, if you want to use it.

Bug#645903: xpdf mangles the window title for files with utf8 in the filename

2011-10-19 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: xpdf
Version: 3.02-21
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropiate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Running xpdf on any file with a non-ascii filename, and
a utf-8 locale.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
xpdf erroneously assumed the name was in iso8859-1/latin1,
and mangled the utf8 filename
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected to see the proper filename in the title, instead
of a mess of off characters.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***

I run a system with a utf-8 locale, and LANG is set up
accordingly. Most programs deal with this. My language (Norwegian)
uses some non-ascii letters that utf-8 represent. It is therefore
natural to use such letters in filenames.

xpdf display filenames in the window titlebar, but gets them
wrong even though the locale is set up correctly.

rxvt can display such titles, no problems there.

The ideal solution is to have xpdf do this right.
I don't know if it is possible to detect the encoding
of a filename. But it is reasonable to assume that
filenames (and command-line text) is in the same
encoding as the X display uses. In such cases, filenames and
parameters can pass through with NO conversion - and just work.
That is actually less work for xpdf, than the wrong conversion
that is done now. It will also work well when eventually
unicode replace all other encodings.


A simpler quick fix that can be put in the xpdf script,
which uses uniconv on the title text:

title=`echo $title|uniconv -encode iso-8859-1`

This goes on the line before $cmd is executed.
With this, the title becomes readable and correct
on my machine. Unfortunately, it adds a dependency
on uniconv, and may not do the right thing for
people using other encodings.

It works for me though.

Bug#617378: This bug affects the LyX document processor

2011-07-28 Thread Helge Hafting
LyX uses xindy to make indexes, the effect of the bug is that no index 
is produced.


Simple workaround for users:
apt-get install clisp=1:2.48-3

This downgrades clisp, and then the indexes works as they should.

Bug#624678: I can confirm this bug

2011-06-20 Thread Helge Hafting

I have partitions for /, /var, /usr, /home, and /usr/src.

The machine is a Dell latitude D830, running debian testing.

I don't boot it every week, but lately I have seen large sets of:

udevd: failed to execute /usr/sbin/laptop_mode 

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be logged anywhere, so I can't
get the exact messages.

If /usr is not mounted, then no surprise that it can't execute the program.

If this binary is to be used by udev, then it must move to somewhere
(such as /sbin) that is accessible when udev runs. The same goes for any 
supporting files that may be needed.


A setup with /usr on a partition of its own is common, it allows a 
read-only mounted /usr.


udev runs before mounting filesystems, because some setups need udev
actions in order to make the other disk devices available. So, either
laptop-mode stuff moves out of /usr, or it should be decoupled from
udev so it can run a little later.

Maybe running laptop-mode later is best - or do we need power-saving 
from the first 10s of bootup?

Bug#630840: /usr/games/freeciv-gtk2: The main window jumps to the center of the screen for no good reason

2011-06-17 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: freeciv-client-gtk
Version: 2.2.4-1
File: /usr/games/freeciv-gtk2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Sometimes I play on a screen so big that I don't maximize the window. Typically,
a 3000x1050 virtual desktop. (The viewport is 1680x1050)

So I place the main window where I want it. To one side, so I can have
other stuff at the other side. But the window stupidly jumps to
the center position. That means I suddenly see only half of the window,
and of course it also obscures other windows.

Moving the window back does not help, because this silliness happens
at regular intervals. Almost as if there is a timer that activates this
jump.

Suggested fix: Just don't change the window position. Should result in a
few lines less  code, a very slightly smaller binary, and a better user  
experience. I cannot see how the window-jumping could be useful.


Also, the city view window one opens from the main window always appear
centered on the screen - even if center is a long way away, and even if
I always move the city view somewhere else. But this is not a bug, only
a hope for enhancement.

Bug#622597: openoffice.org-writer: Copy from a heading erroneously copies the (unselected) heading number also

2011-04-13 Thread Helge Hafting


Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:3.3.0-8
Severity: normal


This is a regression in copying, it wasn'tt like this before.

Example: I have a document with the heading
1.2 Multiprotocol label switching
and want to copy that in order to paste it into another editor (LyX).

I select the text only (Multiprotocol label switching), press ctrl+c,
switch to the other editor, does a paste.

I expect to paste: Multiprotocol label switching
but I get: 1.2 Multiprotocol label switching

The problem is that now I have to remove the numbers for every
heading I copy like this. Even though I took care to *not* select
the number! Earlier versions of openoffice did not have this problem,
so it is a regression.

Pasting into openoffice itself works, apparently openoffice knows
how to discard the unwanted number. But that should not be necessary.

Note that the number gets copied even if I only select part of the
heading. I.e. Label becomes 1.2 Label This does not make sense.

Suggested fix: Do not copy the heading number onto the clipboard
when it isn't selected. Because the user clearly don't want it in
that case. (It is selectable by selecting from the previous line)

Even better: Don't copy the number, not even when all of the heading
is selected. Because:
 * If the user pastes into openoffice, then OO will know that this
   is a heading. And so OO can number it corrrectly. The copied
   number is likely to be wrong.
 * If the user pastes into another editor, then it likely has its
   own scheme for numbering headers automatically. So the number from
   OO is not wanted as raw text, and it is probably wrong anyway.

Bug#498164: [fail2ban] Allow repeated attacker to be blocked

2011-04-01 Thread Helge Hafting

Please see
http://whyscream.net/wiki/index.php/Fail2ban_monitoring_Fail2ban

This shows how to implement a two-level blocking scheme, by having
fail2ban parse its *own* logfile.

So, when someone attacks several times, they will be banned
several times. And then fail2ban reacts to its own log,
using a rule specifying a much longer ban.

This also have the advantage of catching
cases where someone tries to break in through several different
services.

Bug#620364: fail2ban: Fail2ban doesn't cope with last message repeated 50 times

2011-04-01 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.8.4-3
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Fail2ban counts entries in various logs, but does not react when it gets

last message repeated x times

Discovered when a student tested fail2ban, and it did not ban him 
despite many wrong passwords. Syslog logged only the first attempt,

and then resorted to last message repeated x times

Ideal fix: have fail2ban understand last message repeated and add up 
the numbers.


Minimal fix: Document that the user may want to turn off such line
compression. Some recent versions of syslog can do that. But fixing
fail2ban would be better. log compression is useful, and a
program that calls itself a log parser ought to understand.

Noticed immense slowdowns after todays upgrade. Shell windows in particular.

After some checking, the problem is in bash-completion:

time . /etc/bash_completion

Almost 6s, 5 of them use cpu time too. I solved my problem by purging

uname({sys=Linux, node=tenkende-august.homelinux.net, ...}) = 0

 It would also be interesting to obtain a GDB backtrace of what is
 happening at that moment.

No -dbg package for gcalctool, but there is one for iceweasel.

Invoked like this:
iceweasel --debugger
(gdb) run

After a little while a blank window labeled Import Wizard comes up.
(First invocation of iceweasel for this user, so it was probably going to
offer to import bookmarks etc. But the window stays blank.)

These two processes grab 100% cpu each:
 xulrunner-stub gconfd-2  

So I hit ctrl+c and gets the backtrace:

Iceweasel sometimes start working normally - after some minutes. I don't wait 
that long, just
switch to opera. And then suddenly, iceweasel appear out of nowhere a while 
later. And then it works
as usual. Maybe it eventually gave up communicating with gconf?

Bug#576605: kmail pop up two dialog boxes that obscure each other

2010-04-05 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.3.4-1
Severity: normal


When I started up kmail for the first time, I got two dialog boxes
on top of each other. (Using dialogs to deliver messages to the user
is bad UI design, but that is not the bug here)

The visible one was just the tip of the day box. It could not be closed,
because a modal box with an error message was beneath it. (No hostname
specified.)

Yes, I understand I need to set up kmail before it will work.
It should not obscure the error message with the tip of the day box
though. Better show only one box at a time. For example, drop the
silly tip of the day if there is an error already...

The workaround is simple - move the tip box to one side,
revealing the other box in order to dismiss it. Guessing that
there is another box on the screen is not easy thoughj, it
was not obvious.

Bug#576617: libgconf2-4: gconfd-2 enters infinite loop, preventing other apps from starting forever

2010-04-05 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: libgconf2-4
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Well, I can't say the package is unuseable on _every_ system, only mine. So 
perhaps
grave is too much.

Programs that uses gconf, such as icedove and iceweasel, fail to start up.
When I start them, gconfd-2 uses 100% cpu forever, and so does the 
iceweasel/icedove
processes. No windows appear, ever.

I tried removing the .gconf and .gconfd directories, hoping that might
give a new start. I also killed the running gconfd-2 process.
It did not help. When I ran icedove, I got an icedove process and a
gconfd-2 process both eating 100% cpu again.

While this persists, I use another web browser and look for other
mail readers. :-( Of course, using testing and unstable can be risky.

Bug#574244: Two minute iceweasel startup time, due to gconf trouble

2010-03-16 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.6-3
Severity: normal


When I start iceweasel, even in safe mode, two full minutes pass before
the window appear. After that, browsing seems to work as normal.
But this waiting is not exactly interesting.

I get a small window with a big error message:

Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need 
to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a 
system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -

All the guesses are wrong. The network is up, including loopback. I don't use 
NFS, and the lockfiles
mentioned in the URL aren't there. ps aux reveals a process called 
/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2
I guess iceweasel tried to communicate with that? There are no other processes 
with gconf in the name.

I wish this app would use a simple textfile for its config, instead of this 
complicated and bug-prone
attempt at communicating with _another process over a network_. The textfile 
approach works so well for many
other apps, some bigger and some much smaller than iceweasel. 

Keep it simple. A single config file under .mozilla. and no big directory tree 
there either. Well,
I know that won't happen, but one can dream.

Bug#572002: cups fail to parse documented Allow ip/netmask

2010-02-28 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: cups
Version: 1.4.2-4
Severity: normal


man cupsd.conf says I can write allow-directives like this:

   Allow ip-address/netmask

So I entered:

 Allow 10.10.0.10/255.255.0.0

Cups failed to parse this, logged an error, and refused to start up.
Adding some spaces helps though, this works:

 Allow 10.10.0.10 / 255.255.0.0

But documentation does not require spaces. This is not flexible, so the
best fix is to allow what the documentation says. Second best, to change the
docs to match reality.

Bug#569498: digikam: Database screwup, albums no longer match what's on disk

2010-02-11 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: digikam
Version: 2:1.1.0-1
Severity: important


I have used digikam for many years, to view and tag my photos. After not using 
it for a while,
I had problems starting digikam. An upgrade to 2:1.1.0-1 fixed that.

But then digikam surprisingly asked me where my albums was, as if the old info 
was forgotten.
It spent a long time reading the disk. Well, that has happened with upgrades 
before.

At first things looked normal, old tagged images still have their tags. Good.

But the albums themselves doesn't work too well.
I open the view for september 2009 for example. And I see lots of albums, 
many which are
from 2008 or 2007 or 2005.  Strange. Well, looking at the filesystem, the date 
on the directories
are indeed in september 2009. That didn't bother digikam before, though. Yes, I 
may have
modified some files in those directories, with a new improved raw converter. 
Still, it'd be nice 
to fix this in some way. The files have correct dates in EXIF. 

Much worse: Albums comes up *empty* when I try to view them. This is wrong - 
the files
are there and xloadimage will display them. Currently I can't use digikam as a 
viewer.
I'll try reverting to older versions, but vorry about loosing my many tags.

Bug#556450: A guess at what happens, and a fix/workaround

2010-01-04 Thread Helge Hafting

I see the same problem.

Before, I could have a credential file that only root could read, and 
the mount would still succeed as a user

because the mount binary is SUID root.

I guess the mount binary changed, so it drops the
root privileges before trying to open the credential files.

One fix for this is to chown the credentials file so that it is
owned by the user running mount instead of root. The mount commands
succeeds then. It is not necessary to make the credentials file
world-readable, only those who need to run mount need ability to read 
the file.


Maybe this behavior is intended. Since it is an interface change, it'd 
be nice to have a more informative error message. Instead of unknown 
error, something like:


Username is not allowed to read credential file /etc/samba/credentials

Bug#536059: icewm: Taskbar half invisible with two different-height screens

2009-07-07 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.37+1.3.4pre2-3
Severity: normal


This is a regression for two-screen setups. (Laptop with LCD and a VGA monitor)
Earlier icewm put the taskbar in one of the screens, and contained it there.
If it got full of running programs, they simply got less space each.

Now the taskbar grows out through the right side of the first screen. I guess
it tries to extend into the next screen, but that one is smaller and
don't extend that far down. So, half of my taskbar is invisible, and 
pretty useless. The clock is to the right and cannot be seen at all.

Suggestions for a fix:

* Reverting to earlier behaviour is probably easiest. Let the taskbar
  stay in one window only - but make an intelligent choice. (It usually
  appeared in the smallest screen - not ideal.)

* The better solution is to split the taskbar into several windows,
  one window along the bottom of each screen. Or use xrandr to
  align the outputs along the bottom instead of the top - if that
  is possible at all.

Bug#506212: xserver-xorg: After upgrade, X starts but there is no keyboard, user stuck

2008-11-19 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.4~4
Severity: normal


After an upgrade, I restarted X and it came up but with no
keyboard at all. 

After powering off and rebooting without X, I found this
in Xorg.0.log:

(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will be 
disabled.

After some googling, I found that I could use
Option AllowEmptyInput false and then everything is fine again.

I don't complain - experimental can pull such stunts of course.
But this needs fixing before it gets to stable, where users
expect their old config to work, or new necessary options to
be added automatically.

The information I found suggests that this option might be needed
when the keyboard is specified in xorg.conf, rather than autodetected.
I think I always will need some keyboard information in
xorg.xonf, because I use a norwegian keyboard layout. This surely
cannot be autodetected, even though the keyboard device is
trivially detectable.  It is the same for every other non-english user.

Bug#501459: user can mount, but not umount, a cifs filesystem

2008-10-07 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: mount
Version: 2.13.1.1-1
Severity: normal


At work, I have a home directory on a windows server.
Therefore, my laptop has a /etc/fstab entry for it so 
I can mount it. I use the user option in order to avoid
needing root to mount it.

Mounting this works fine, but I cannot umount for some reason.
I get this error message:
$ mount pompel/home
$ umount pompel/home
umount: /home/helgehaf/pompel/home mount disagrees with the fstab

The root user have no problem umounting, with exactly the same command.
Using absolute paths like /home/helgehaf/pompel/home changes nothing.
The filesystem itself works fine, although somewhat slow.

The entry in /etc/fstab looks like this:

\\pompel.aitel.hist.no\HOME /home/helgehaf/pompel/home cifs
domain=AITELANS,credentials=/etc/fstab-smb-credentials,rw,noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=helgehaf,gid=ansatt,sockopt=TCP_NODELAY,user

Using users instead of user changes nothing either.

I think the user doing the mount should be able to umount too,
as long as there is no open files. I cannot see anything wrong with
the fstab entry. I have seen this problem forever, that is since
mount.cifs became useable. 

Mounting and umounting an iso9660 cdrom works fine as an unprivileged
user. 
/ and /home are ext3 filesystems, if that matters. /home is mounted
with nodev, nosuid, usrquota and user_xattr

Bug#498718: icewm doesn't let me move windows all the way from one monitor to the next, using xrandr1.2

2008-09-12 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.35-1
Severity: normal


I use a laptop with an external monitor as the secondary monitor.

I use xrandr to set up the second monitor, they are side-by-side.
(I use xrandr from the command line, so this happens after icewm has
started.)

I can move the mouse all over both screens, but icewm doesn't let me
drag a window completely onto the second monitor. A little piece of the
window has to remain on the first monitor, similiar to how you can't
place a window completely off-screen when you have only one monitor.

It is probably just this safety mechanism that isn't aware of the extra
monitor appearing.

Icewm has no problem if it is started _after_ the second monitor is
activated. 

Ideally, the x server should tell the window manager about such changes.
If that isn't feasible, polling for changes is an option.

On the road, I use the laptop with its built-in screen only.
At work, (and whenever I can), I plug in an extra monitor and use xrandr
to use it at its ideal resolution. I keep the machine on all the time,
so a static setup doesn't work that well.

Bug#498252: [iceweasel] tools-clear private data doesn't clear places.sqlite

2008-09-08 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal


The menu tools-clear private data doesn't clear everything.
to reproduce:

1. Browse around a bit
2. Clear the URL bar and type something like www into it.
   Notice that iceweasel suggest various sites you have seen before.
3. Use tools-clear private data, and clear out everything
4. Optionally restart iceweasel
5. Type www into the url bar again. Notice that iceweasel comes up
   with the same suggestions as before, still remembering where you have
   been. It shouldn't, really.

6. For a workaround, delete the places.sqlite file found somewhere in
   the .mozilla subdirectory tree.
7. Observe that iceweasel no longer remembers previous sites.


A rather small bug, but I though you should know.

Bug#497510: iceweasel regression: cumbersome file upload dialog

2008-09-02 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal


Some webpages allow uploading of files, and iceweasel then bring
up a file upload dialog.

This dialog used to work well. I could type in the pathname
directly, which tend to be the fastest. Or I could paste it in using
mouse middle-click, very useful when the same file is to be uploaded
in multiple locations. And of course there is the browse button for
doing it all graphically. Nice to have, but something I don't use
much as it brings up an extra dialog. And it it kind of slow because
it reads in complete directories. Still - good to have whenever I don't
remember the exact pathname.

This dialog has regressed. If I try to paste a pathname, nothing
happens upon middle-clicking. So the fastest way of using this dialog no
longer works - very fast when I already have the path in the paste buffer
anyway.

Typing a well-known path into this dialog is also much slower now.
Before, I could type a path, hit TAB twice and enter, activating the
upload button without removing my hands from the keyboard. This is very
fast.

Now, the browse dialog appear as soon as I click in the entry field. I
don't want that! If I wanted to browse, then I'd click the browse
button instead of the entry field - that is _no more work_. So this is
not a shortcut for anyone. Please loose it.

The problems with this is:
* The dialog takes time to appear.
* Typing a long path into this dialog is _slow_, because it reads every
  directory on the way from the network file server. That is _not_
  instantaneous!
* In the end, I have to close two dialogs instead of one, which
  is more work for me than closing only one.



Suggestions for fixes:
1.
The simplest fix is to go back to old behavior - activate the browse
dialog only when the user hits the browse button. this should not
inconvenience anyone, as we have to click the dialog anyway to use it.
So, the users who wants to browse might as well click the button.

This leaves the faster ways open for those of us who knows what
pathname to use already.

Reverting to previous behaviour is hopefully real easy to do. :-)


2. 
If the intention is to help everybody, then merging
the browse functionality into the upload dialog might work. The point
here is to use _one_ dialog, not two. Because this does not break up the
user's workflow as much. A gui app should aim to never open more than one
dialog at once, a series of stacked dialogs is a usability problem and
usually not necessary from a design standpoint. (I understand that it
might be more work for the programmers in many cases though.)

If this way is choosen, please make it possible to turn off the
automatic loading of subdirectories. This because:
 a) Loading subdirectories from a remote server may be slow because
of the network. It may be congested, the server might be slow.
 b) Even the local directories are real slow when there are 20.000 files
and subdirectories in them. (Mostly because gui apps takes the
strange approach of adding and rendering the files one-by-one
instead of: read the lot, make a list in memory, display the lot.
And this must be done asynchronously too, so the user who just
type it all isn't hampered by a wait.)
A gui that also tries to display _different_ icons for different
files makes 20-second delays in the many-files case. Please 
don't even think of that. . .

Bug#496513: runit fails to umount /var on shutdown (nscd interaction)

2008-08-25 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: runit
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: important


I first noticed that /var is always checked on reboot. I also
see a failure to umount /var due to filesystem being in use,
shortly before the laptop turns itself off.

I then put lsof /var and ps aux in the umountfs script,
to see what was keeping files open on /var. This is
what I got:

ps aux (kernel threads edited out):

root  4306  0.0  0.0   9072  1272 ?Ss   12:57   0:00 /bin/sh
/etc/runit/3
root  4336  1.0  0.0  17492  1656 ?S12:57   0:00 /bin/sh
/etc/init.d/rc 6
root  4433  0.0  0.0  17420  1540 ?S12:57   0:00 /bin/sh
/etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs stop
root  4436  0.0  0.0  14732   984 ?R12:57   0:00 /bin/ps
aux

Nothing unexpected here. Now lsof /var:
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE   NODE NAME
3   4306 root  DELREG8,6  309479 /var/run/nscd/dbHNkiVS
lsof4437 root1w   REG8,60  48877 /var/lsof-var

The latter one is merely lsof saving its result on /var, it goes
away before umount is attempted. The first one is the problem,
runit itself is holding a file open, preventing the umount.

I use nscd, but the nscd process is not running at this point.
It looks like runit somehow gets involved with nscd files,
I am not sure how that happens. I am worried that this inability
to shutdown could lead to damaged files on /var.

I'll try avoiding nscd, but that is not a perfect solution.

Bug#496546: libsmbios-bin: dellBiosUpdate fails without the --force_mono switch

2008-08-25 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: libsmbios-bin
Version: 0.13.13-1
Severity: normal


Doing a 
dellBiosUpdate -u -f bios.hdr
will seem to work (kernels 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and 2.6.27-rc4)
but the bios will not be updated upon reboot, due to
the ROM image missing. 

Upgrading works fine when the --force_mono switch is specified,
so perhaps this ought to be default?

The update was done using a 64-bit kernel.

Bug#489503: apt: There is no easy way to avoid unwanted but recommended extra packages

2008-07-06 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.11
Severity: normal


apt-get (and aptitude) needs an option for only installing hard
dependencies. That is, those dependencies that must be satisfied or
the package can't work. Something like --no-recommended.

I consider this a bug, not merely a wishlist item, because:

* Current apt install not only the needed extra packages, but 
  recommended but not really necessary packages as well. 
  This is easy to see as the unwanted packages can be removed
  later without also removing the package I wanted.
* This is a problem when installing small embedded machines. The
  current workaround is to delete all unwanted packages later,
  but that is cumbersome when a single apt-get may pull in
  a couple of unneeded packages that depends on 20-30 other
  unwanted packages. And it is a waste of bandwidth and time too.

Example:
I installed a machine that is mostly a router, but it also runs gpsd
so I can see where it is. 

Unfortunately, installing gpsd pull in gpsd-clients, which has
dependencies on x11-common and a whole lot of other X-related packages.

But this machine does not run X! So I had to delete all those packages
manually later. And so on for some other software as well, and so on
when upgrading . . .

Now, I understand that most people will want gpsd-clients along with
gpsd, so having this as default behaviour is fine with me. But
having the ability to do 
apt-get install --no-recommended gpsd and _only_ get gpsd and libgps17
would be ideal.

Another possible workaround that avoids bandwith wasting is to
download packages one by one and install using dpkg. That is very
cumbersome for packages that has many dependencies - exactly the reason
for having apt in the first place.

Bug#473564: iceweasel: Iceweasel hopelessly slow when opening 10 tabs from http://vg.no

2008-03-31 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.12-1
Severity: normal


I sometimes read the newspaper at http://vg.no
My way of reading is to right-click each interesting article and
select open in a new tab.  That way I quicly finish reading all
the headlines before reading each article.

But - opening 5 os so tabs make iceweasel very slow, and 10 tabs
makes it lock up for several minutes at a time. Using --safe-mode
is no better.

This is not a network or linux swapping problem. The pages finish loading
quicly, but the cpu is stuck at 100% - iceweasel works and works
and accomplish nothing. The problem comes quickly, I open another
tab and notices a slowdown - then I know that opening one more tab
will kill performance completely.

The pages uses lots of graphichs and animated ads - so I wouldn't
complain if a single page was a little sluggish.  I see no reason
why loading many such pages should bring iceweasel to a halt though.

After all - only _one_ tab is visible at a time. So there is only one
set of animations to run at any time. My computer is cabable of doing
that.  The other pages should simply be put on hold until viewed.



Upping the iceweasel cache from 50MB to 500MB seems to help, but only
some. Iceweasel is sluggish, it switches between tabs using
only a few seconds each time - then it locks up with 100% cpu again
and is stuck for enough time to let me write this bug report.


If this is a cache issue - please give the viewed page priority in
cache. Don't let the invisible webpages cause cache trashing, if they
need more memory, just stop processing them until viewed. The
performance of that approach should be no worse than viewing the
pages sequentially. 

Also - when iceweasel is stuck, the animations on the page being
viewed runs all the time while the rest (html, images) isn't
updated at all.  How about not wasting cpu on animation _at all_ until
the page is fully rendered? Until the switch to a different tab is
completed?  

I know iceweasel processed the click on the new tab - because the new
tab is highlighted. So why is the animations for the old tab still
running, wasting cpu power that iceweasel seems to need for bringing up
the new page? Freezing/abandoning such processes ought to be among
the first things to do.


Finally - thanks for making this fine browser. I hope these performance
issues can be sorted out though. The pc is not underpowered - I can read
(and render) 10 of these pages sequentially in much less time than
the time iceweasel is stuck when trying to load them all simultaneously.
the simultaneous case shoudln't take more time than the sum
of the time needed for individual pages, as long as the pc and linux
have enough memory.

Does kpdf open it?

(Kghostview is a ghostscript viewer, kpdf is a pdf viewer)
  

Yes, kpdf works. Perhaps the bug is with LyX, as it was LyX that decided to
use kghostview as a pdf viewer because it was available.

I thought pdf was a subset of ps though, so a ps viewer ought to display
pdf documents as well?

Bug#472956: openoffice.org-writer: When scrolling, a popup with page x/y obscures some of the text

2008-03-27 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.4.0~rc6-1
Severity: minor


When scrolling, a small popup appear saying things like
page 5/9 (text from heading)

This is clearly intended as a useful feature, but the placement is
such that it obscures some of the text in the middle of the window.
That is exactly where I _read_, so this is actually annoying and
counterproductive. It is especially bad when using a touchpad,
because the popup remains even when scrolling stop - it doesn't
go away unless I move the mouse around. It just sits there,
obscuring my document.

The fix should be simple - just move that popup so it doesn't
overlay the document. Consider putting it on top of the status
line or on top of the toolbar/menu/titlebar instead. (Or for
something really fancy, display 5/9 vertically on the scrollbar 
slider itself. :-)

Actually, seeing that the status line already have the page 5/9
stuff already, consider just dropping the popup completely
as there is no need to see the information twice. That should make
this rather large program a tiny bit smaller. :-)

Bug#472960: openoffice.org-writer: Unexpected popups gets in the way and slows down work

2008-03-27 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.4.0~rc6-1
Severity: normal


I use oowriter a lot for reading documents i get in the mail (odt and doc).
When reading, oowriter will often pop up a dialog for bullets and
numbering or table stuff - although I did not ask for this.

These dialogs gets in the way, and much worse - they also grab focus
in some way. So pressing page down suddenly don't work any more,
and I have to grab the mouse just to resume scrolling.


Please, do not make the assumption that I actually *edit* the 
document I have opened. Never ever pop up something not asked for
that blocks the keyboard.

Also, some items in these dialogs are superfluous because they already
exist in the main toolbar. Duplication of toolbar items just steal more
space.

Toolbars that appear automatically is perhaps of help for the novice,
but then they should behave like the main toolbar (i.e.
sit above the top edge of the document window instead of obscuring
part of it, and never grab focus.)

You may want to take a look at LyX - it has multiple toolbars and
can be set to show some of them only when needed. This happens
without taking focus or overlaying the document. The document may
have to be resized slightly to make room for the toolbar, but one can
at least keep scrolling without interruption.

Bug#470284: wireshark: Bad wording in the save before quit dialog

2008-03-10 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: wireshark
Version: 0.99.6rel-5
Severity: minor



A common case:
I start wireshark, sniff a bit, and then just quit the
program as I got nothing of interest this time.

The dialog that pops up has wording that is easy to misunderstand.
The Norwegian translation is perhaps worse, but the english
is bad enough for a minor bug report.

In this context, I am quitting/cancelling/aborting the wireshark
program. I do not think about the captured data at all, because
that turned out to be uninteresting.

The dialog gives me these options:
* Continue without saving
No, I don't want to _continue_ with wireshark, I want to
get out of it. So it seems this option is not for me.
(Turns out it is the one I want though, but who could guess :-)

* Cancel
Sure, I want to cancel wireshark, but this button doesn't? 

* Save
Not interesting, I have nothing to save.

Now, of course the continue is the way to go, but the
wording is hopeless. Do I want to contine cancelling wireshark,
or do I want to cancel the cancelling?.

My suggestions for better wording on the two first buttons:
Quit without saving
Don't quit

This makes it clearer.

Bug#462548: libsmbios-bin: dellBiosUpdate uses a wrong path in /sys/

2008-01-25 Thread Helge Hafting

Package: libsmbios-bin
Version: 0.13.10-1
Severity: important


I tried updating my bios (from a04 to a05 and a08) but this
did not work.

dellBiosUpdate just sits there for a while, then it
fails with 'file not found'
I ran strace, and found that dellBiosUpdate makes 302569 repeated
attempts at accessing the file
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
No such file exists. However, the 2.6.24 kernel provides a file named
/sys/class/firmware/firmware-dell_rbu/loading


To debug this, I remounted sysfs on a different mountpoint
and created a /sys with links to everything in the real sysfs.
There, I renamed firmware-dell_rbu to dell_rbu


With this change, the dellBiosUpdate utility ran to completion.
Upon reboot, the bios detected an upgrade, but
gave me the error message:
Error! the BIOS update could not be performed because a valid ROM
image could not be found.

So perhaps sysfs in 2.6.24 has more changes incompatible with
the dellBiosUpdate utility.

Bug#451511: xserver-xorg-video-ati: The ati driver unexpectedly seems to perform worse than the VESA driver

2007-11-22 Thread Helge Hafting

Brice Goglin wrote:

Helge Hafting wrote:
  

Minor severity as the driver works as intended.

I find the low performance odd though. If the accelerator hardware
is slower than VESA for some operations, then surely the unaccelerated VESA
way could be used for those things. So it seems to me it doesn't
need to be slower in any cases.


My testcase is to play the game cuyo at levels 2 or 9. (package cuyo)
This is a tetris-like 2D game. It updated the screen 10 times
a second, and has a irritating failure mode: If it can't
finish drawing in 1/10s, then it refuse to take input 
until the drawing queue clears. So it may break very noticeably

when there is too much animation going on.

Now, perhaps that isn't the best way to design a game, but
it shows a performance problem.

The ati driver (and the NV driver) easily falls into this trap when
there is lots of animation in the cuyo window. The game
becomes quite unplayable.

This simply doesn't happen with the VESA driver. CPU load stays
below 25% always.

The processor in this case is a 2.4GHz pentium-M,
lspci shows:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY
[Radeon 7000/VE]

Another machine with a pci radeon 9200 SE and a 1.8GHz opteron
shows the same problem.

A third machine with a 1.8Ghz core duo and a nvidia card has
this problem too, but of course that is a different package



Can you try with
Option AccelMethod EXA
in the Device section of your xorg.conf?
  

Thanks for the tip - this change made tremendous difference.
Using the ATI driver, the game is now as snappy as VESA - and
X probably respond better to bigger drawing jobs.

The EXA option solved my problem completely.  :-)

I've tried to reproduce this problem with a recent build of gnumeric, but
have not managed to reproduce it.

Can you please test with the current gnumeric package in sid and let me know
if you can still reproduce it? If you can, I'd appreciate it if you could
tell me whether you are using a non-standard font or Gtk theme and if you
have a set of steps that reliably reproduce this problem for you.
  

I just tried with gnumeric 1.6.3-6, and it did not happen.
As for themes, I use icewm with the warp3 theme. I use neither gnome
nor KDE. I have never set up a gtk theme. xfontsel says there
are 31952 font names available.

You can probably close the bug - I'll get back to you if it ever happens
again.

Bug#446889: xemacs21 wrecks some unicode characters in existing text files

2007-10-16 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: xemacs21
Version: 21.4.20-2
Severity: normal


If I open a file with certain unicode characters then
xemacs21 will fail to display them. Saving the file will
replace those characters with question marks.

This makes xemacs21 (mule and non-mule) unfit for working on unicode
encoded text files.

Try this unicode test file for example:
http://www.w3.org/2001/06/utf-8-test/UTF-8-demo.html
The german quotes is destroyed, and some other stuff too.
The file displays fine in web browsers or xterm though.

I have LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8
My .xemacs/init.el:
(require 'un-define)
(set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8))
(set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 'utf-8)

I translate software using xemacs po mode. The po-files
are correctly marked as using utf-8. Still, xemacs21 doesn't
support all of utf-8.


Getting an occational wrong character on the screen is not a big 
issue for me - incomplete fonts do that all the time anyway.
But having xemacs21 wreck valid utf-8, replacing some characters
with ? is a show-stopper for my use. It'd be very nice if
xemacs21 would simply leave alone any character it doesn't understand,
so it isn't changed in output.

Other editors I use don't have this problem, but they don't
have a po-mode either. :-(

Bug#437312: icewm: RaiseOnClickClient=1 doesn't work anymore

2007-08-11 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.30-1
Severity: normal


I use icewm with pointer focus, and no autoraise. I prefer to raise
windows by clicking anywhere inside them.

This used to work, but unfortunately it stopped working some
time ago. I must now click the title bar or the frame to raise
a window. But the title bar is often obscured, and the frame is
very thin and hard to hit. 

I just want the window to be raised when I click somewhere
inside it.  Therefore, I have
RaiseOnClickClient=1
in my .icewm/preference
But it doesn't work.  :-(

Bug#435374: libqt4-core: qt4 loose performance by using direct rendering that falls back on sw

2007-07-31 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: libqt4-core
Version: 4.3.0-4
Severity: normal


I have not seen the bug myself, but I report it on behalf of
lyx development.  The LyX word processor uses qt4 as its interface.

Some users have seen a large slowdown, it turned out that they 
had machines where DRI was implemented by a software fallback.
Commenting out dri from the Module section speeded things
up tremendously.  This because disabling DRI completely means that
qt4 uses normal X11 instead of direct rendering.

I understand that using direct rendering may be a nice speedup
when hardware acceleration is in use. But is very slow
when there is no smart hardware so the implementation fall
back on software.

Suggested fix:
Surely qt4 does a test to see if DRI is available, and fall back
on X11 when DRI isn't present.  (Otherwise, qt4 wouldn't work
at all on a machine without DRI.)

The fix then, is to also check that DRI is backed by hardware
before trying to use it.  This can't be hard to check.
Look at glxinfo, it will print 
direct rendering: yes/no depending on hardware acceleration.
It will print no even when DRI is available but backed by software
only.


Please, just do the same check that glxinfo does, and don't
try to use slow software DRI interfaces.  This will be a nice
speedup for many qt4 apps running on machines without DRI hardware.
There are lots of such machines, especially when we get outside
the x86 world which debian supports so well.  And the fix
is rather simple too. :-)

Bug#435374: Acknowledgement (libqt4-core: qt4 loose performance by using direct rendering that falls back on sw)

2007-07-31 Thread Helge Hafting

I was wrong about the way one tests for software rendering.
direct rendering:no means no DRI is available at all, qt4 gets
this case right already. 


If DRI is avaliable, check the version string instead. If the work
is done by mesa, (software rendering library) then
it is better not to use it because it will be slower than any alternative.

It even works well with 24-bit color these days. :-)

I tested it, and the bug is gone!

It is nice to have the G550 back again - the alternative was a horribly
slow Radeon 9200 SE with always-unstable DRI.

The G550 is much quicker, and 24-bit color seems to work too.

I haven't tried using that card for some time.  I still got it, but
I am busy moving so I don't have the opportunity to test it
right now.  I'll probably try again someday though, the
card is faster than the radeon PCI card in use at the moment.

Bug#409285: This prevents me from using lilo - can't install kernels!

2007-04-23 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: lilo
Version: 1:22.8-3
Followup-For: Bug #409285


Seems this bug is reported already.
The situation is hopeless.
I compiled a new kernel, updated lilo.conf, ran lilo, got:

Cannot proceed. Maybe you need to add this to your lilo.conf:
disk=/dev/sdg inaccessible
(real error shown below)
Fatal: open /dev/sdg: No medium found


Well, sdg is a card reader with nothing in it.
WHY THE HELL DO LILO TRY TO ACCESS IT ???  sdg wasn't
mentioned anywhere in /etc/lilo.conf, so OF COURSE lilo shouldn't try to
touch it at all.  That is the real bug here.  Don't try to access every
disk, just don't!

Now, lilo wants to touch every disk anyway, leading to secondary bugs.
If I add the suggested line to /etc/lilo.conf, then nothing happens.
The stupid lilo STILL tries to use sdg, even though I just tild 
explicitly that it is inaccessible. Urgh!

If I add inaccessible lines for my other card readers as well, I
get this shit instead:
Fatal: Duplicate disk = definition for /dev/sdh

Wrong message, there was no duplicate entry for sdh.  Just one for sdg, and
one for sdh.  

Parsing of disk inaccessible statements in lilo.conf is clearly broken,
but that isn't the real problem.  The real problem is that
lilo wants such statements in the first place.

Suggestion: stop accessing ewvery disk - only disks actually mentioned
in /etc/lilo.conf.  The inaccessible thing won't be needed then, so
it can be removed from the source instead of being fixed to work as
intended.


I wonder why lilo became like this.  My guess: someone thought it was clever
to read *every* disk in order to do some kind of auto-detection. Probably in
order to save work for the user - right?

Well, that idea broke down as soon as the inaccessible keyword was needed
to keep card readers etc. out of this automatic stuff.  Having to enumerate
every device that might not be there is a hopeless task.  I got 4 right now,
what if I plug in my other USB multi-card reader as well ??? (Which is a 
reasonable thing to do - I can then move files between two cards of the same
type directly)

Please - just ditch whatever program logic it is that needs to read every
accessible disk.  lilo used to work fine before without this. I have
more inaccessible disks than accessible, so *not* having to enumerate the
iunaccessible ones is definitely a win.  Even if I have to specify the
*accessible* disks more explicitly...

It turns out that icewm still work, after
using the new menu

After that, I get the good old pointer focus specified in the .icewm file.
So, this bug can be closed.

Bug#416624: icewm: Pointer focus don't work, it used to.

2007-03-29 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.30-1
Severity: normal


Pointer focus don't work; I move the pointer over some other window,
but that window don't get focus. Instead, focus remain at whatever
window that had focus before. Focus is changed only by clicking,
but I don't want to click unnecessarily.

I have tried changing .icewm/preferences, both with iceconf
and vi.  Getting pointer focus to work seems impossible, I have to click.
This used to work fine for many years . . .

What I want, is focus follow pointer, and click to raise.
I.e. no auto-raising.  Click to raise work as expected.
When experimenting, I managed to get icewm into a weird state
where it raises the window under the mouse pointer, but still
don't give it focus.  Looks like a missed focus call to me...

Bug#416687: [PATCH] udev fails looking for obsolete /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug

2007-03-29 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: udev
Version: 0.105-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch



For a long time, I hae been unable to use udev because udev says:
udev requires hotplug support, not started.

Note that this is wrong - my karnel has hotplug support.
Investigating /etc/init.d/udev shows that the script tests for
the existence of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug, which I don't have.
Because I don't have /proc/sys at all - it is deprecated!

The correct file to use is /sys/kernel/uevent_helper,
and I enclose a patch that swithces udev over to use that instead.


If you want to support very old kernels that don't have /sys, then
you may want to test for the existence of 
/sys/kernel/uevent_helper first, and fall back on
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug if the former doesn't exist.

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0601.0/1296.html

It is a link to an archived linux-kernel message, about creation of
/sys/kernel/uevent_helper and deprecation of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
I am sure the author, Greg KH, can explain the background better than me.

This don't mean that /proc/sys as a whole is gone - it is gone in _my_ 
kernel
because I have turned off various options for deprecated backward 
compatibility.
I turn deprecated options off when I can, and turn them back on only if 
there

is horrible breakage.  It took some time before I noticed the missing udev.
So yes - I can turn /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug back on again.  But why do 
that -
the interface is deprecated and the proper way is to fix the udev script 
which
I now have done. 

Perhaps debian will need to support both - as kernels from before 
January 04, 2006
don't have /sys/kernel/uevent_helper.  That is fine - but support for 
the current
interface (/sys/kernel/uevent) needs to go in. We know how the kernel 
development works,
some day they revoke the obsolete /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug and it is 
best to be

prepared when that happens.

When searching the web for information earlier today, I saw indications that
rpm-based distributions already made this switch.

Bug#415789: digikam: Digikam grabs keyboard focus when it shouldn't

2007-03-21 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: digikam
Version: 2:0.8.2-4
Severity: normal


I launched digikam from an icewm menu. Knowing that it
takes som time to start, I decided to work with another app
in the meantime.

This work was hampered by digikam stealing keyboard focus
_three_ times as it started up.

Now, it is perfectly reasonable for an app to grab focus once as
it starts - the user launced the app so presumably he
wanted to use it!

There is absolutely no excuse for grabbing focus more than once though.
When I took focus away, digikam should know that I want to work
with something else and not stupidly grab focus _again_ just
because it eventually got further in its initialization process.
When I work with something else - I work with something else...

In particular, the splash screen shouldn't grab focus at all, as
there is nothing you can do with it anyway.


Don't get me wrong - it is an indispensable piece of software,
but please don't go the way of commercial programs that
are much worse with their irritating focus-grabbing

Bug#413977: xgdvi does not coexist with texlive, it demands tetex

2007-03-08 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: xgdvi
Version: 1.2.4-6
Severity: normal


I tried to install xgdvi. It insists on pulling in tetex packages, which
conflict with texlive that I use.

I may be wrong, but I think viewer apps are able to view dvi files no
matter what kind of latex were involved in creating the dvi.

Please consider having xgdvi depending on either tetex or texlive,
instead of demanding tetex.  If it really can't work with texlive, just
close this bug.

Package: firefox
Version: 1.99+2.0b2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal


I gave this experimental version a try. Bugs were expected, here is
a long-standing one:

After installing firefox, I removed
..mozilla and .firefox directories to start from scratch.

When I click on a link to a .doc file, firefox suggests
opening it with abiword. Fine!

Then I click the box for Do it like this from now on, hoping
to never ever see this box again. At least not for .doc documents.

I also get a message that I can change this in the download
section of edit-settings.  Interesting - for this is a problem
with an earlier firefox - the download settings are there
but nothing can be done about them.

I OK this dialog, and click on another .doc file. The
stupid dialog pops up again! I think it wasn't supposed to,
because do like  this from now on is still checked. But
it makes no difference.  Restarting firefox makes no
difference either.

So I try opening the settings. Surprise surprise, no
download section/tab at all.  Oh well, it is a beta.
So I file this bug so it perhaps it isn't forgotten.

Now reverting to an older firefox who also have this
problem, but at least it is capable of opening pdf files too - 
something this beta won't do for me.



Did this improve at all in iceweasel? 
  

There is much improvement, although it isn't perfect yet.
The pdf problem was solved - it turned out to be a
mozplugger problem.  Mozplugger failed without a working
acrobat present - I changed the mozplugger settings to prefer xpdf
which is what I want anyway - this now works fine in iceweasel.

Clicking on a doc file now opens it - in openoffice.  Now, openoffice
is a slow starter, so I'd like to get the quicker abiword back.
There seems to be no way to do that in edit-preferences. I think
this is to be expected, seeing that it is mozplugger which handles
.doc files too. I'll look into the mozplugger setup for this too.

What is lacking here, is a way to specify which plugin gets what
content.  This is necessary when several plugins all support
several of the same media types. 
Example: mplayerplugin and vlc both support lots of video

formats - or so they claim.  Turns out that some video files only
works in one, and some only in the other.  This
kind of selection currently seems impossible.

Bug#394288: This bug is the same as 'segfault on corrupt /var/cache/apt/*.bin', a bad mmap.

2006-10-27 Thread Helge Hafting

This bug turned out to be the same as the many reports about
segfault on corrupt /var/cache/apt/*.bin

In my case, it turned out to be a corrupt /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin

I found this out with 'strace apt-get upgrade'
apt mmap'ed /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin, and crashed shortly thereafter.
Inspecting the file showed only a couple of lines of text, it looked like
pieces of a package description.

Perhaps apt shouldn't be so trusting. If such a cache file is corrupt,
just zap it. I deleted the file, and could again upgrade my debian.'

Bug#393283: RFC: change chown *not* to look up numeric user/group names

2006-10-20 Thread Helge Hafting

Bob Proulx wrote:

I strongly believe that not having a root entry in the local password
file is a wrong configuration.  I strongly believe that configuring a
network override of local files is a wrong configuration.

At boot time when the network is not yet configured the local file
will be searched first, then the network will be attempted but will
fail without delay.  The values of 0:0 will resolve to root:root from
the data in the local file.  The operation will proceed.
  

The problem is that I don't get this failure without delay.
/etc/init.d/xorg-common does a couple of chown 0:0,
attempts to contact the ldap server on 127.0.0.1.  The interface
is up, but ldap is not yet running due to the startup order.
So xorg.common halts and no more startup scripts run.

[...]

Therefore I don't see how these steps can be avoided.  A script
wishing to be completely local should use 'chown root:root' and the
system should have a root /etc/passwd entry and /etc/nsswitch.conf
should search local files before network databases.
  


I now see that chown must work the way it does, with people actually
using numeric usernames.  Having nsswitch.conf searching local
files first is fine with me.

I think it'd be nice to fix this for future ldap users, what would be the
correct approach?

* report a bug against xorg-common, it should use chown root:root?
* report a bug against slapd, it should start before xorg-common?
* report a bug against libnss-ldap, it should advice the admin to create
  the 0 user and 0 group when making the change to nsswitch.conf?

* Or several of the above?

Bug#394288: apt segfaults when Reading packages lists...

2006-10-20 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.2
Severity: normal


First, apt-get dist-upgrade started failing due to unwriteable /usr, and
I killed it with CTRL+C

Then I remounted /usr, but now apt-get never get further than
Reading package lists... and then it segfaults.
Some actions also manages to print 0% before segfaulting.
The segfault message comes on top of Reading package lists...
making it hard to read.

I installed the newest apt using dpkg, this did not help.
dselect failed too because it uses apt.

I guess the package database has become corrupted somehow,
it'd be helpful if apt at least would point out the
bad file before dying. :-( No more apt for me it seems.

Bug#393283: coreutils: 'chmod' unnecessarily calls into name services, breaking bootup with ldap

Actually a critical bug as it prevents bootup. On the other hand,
it probably don't affect that many people yet.

The problem is that this command:
chmod 0:0 filename



Surely, you mean chown, not chmod.
  

Correct, I meant chown.

will do a completely unnecessary call into the name service switch.
This is unnecessary as the user and group is provided numerically.
It is of course necessary with chmod username:groupname file
but that is a different case.



Sorry, but chown has to perform the DB look-up even for numeric
user- and group names.  This is long-standing practice, as well
as a POSIX requirement.
  

Urgh.  So posix is broken here too.  The only use I can imagine for
ascii-numeric userid/groups (that maps to other numbers)  is
rootkits.  Nice way of obscuring things. Definitely one of the cases
where I'd like to be incompatible on purpose.  Seems you disagree
though - oh well.

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG is defined then /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is supposed

I do not know what you did to your system, but I do not believe that
this is the result of a bug in the udev package.

  if [ ! -e /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug ]; then
echo udev requires hotplug support, not started.

Thanks for the tip, I may have made a mistake when compiling the kernel.
May I suggest changing the message to udev requires 
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug?
This will make it obvious that the problem is with a file, not some 
missing package.

Bug#393657: reportbug dies with UnicodeDecodeError: when including a file in the report

2006-10-17 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: reportbug

Now, myx sources.list files contain lots of comments written by
me (in Norwegian, which uses non-ascii letters). 
Some are from before I switches to UTF-8, so they are invalid
unicode.

I see no need for reportbug to trip up over some unreadable
*comments* in a file. It really should forward the file
as-is. Note that it is even possible to have file/directory
names that are invalid unicode, so stripping comments
won't help.

Bug#393653: apt-get update loops, infinite download of the same .pdiff files

2006-10-17 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46
Severity: critical
Tags: security
Justification: breaks unrelated software


Feel free to change severity as fit - critical is the highest
but being unable to upgrade or install packages breaks
the whole system as it gets more and more outdated
with time.  And of course I don't get security
updates this way either.

apt-get update seems to not terminate at all.
It produces output like this:

Get:36 2006-10-14-1418.40.pdiff [30.0kB]
Get:37 2006-10-14-1418.40.pdiff [30.0kB]

Get:49 2006-10-14-1418.40.pdiff [1417B]

Here 2006-10-14-1418.40.pdiff seems to repeat over and over.
Several other names do too - this never stops. apt-get
forever remains at 99% Packages rred. 

Theoretically, this might terminate someday. But something is 
definitely wrong when update takes *much* more time 
than the weekly dist-upgrade takes.


Installing single packages with apt-get still works sometimes,
but this too becomes impossible as the packages referenced from
my outdated package database no longer exists in the pool.

I can't upgrade to the newer apt for example, because
it isn't in the database and update fails. dist-upgrade
also fail trying to fetch outdated packages.

So I am stuck.  Of course, this is the price of using 
testing+unstable.  I'll try downloading the newest apt
package manually and install it using dpkg.  


This version of apt is dangerous in that it
1) Gets itself stuck
2) It becomes a ddos attack on the debian servers, if many users starts
   unattended apt-get update and keep downloading forever.
   apt-get is indeed slow today . . .

Bug#393653: Sorry for a wrong report

2006-10-17 Thread Helge Hafting

You can close this bugreport.

After letting apt-get update run for a couple of hours, it completed
and is now performing a dist-upgrade.

I don't know why it took so much more time than usual, but there
is no critical bug at least.

Sorry for the noise.

Bug#393279: tfm-arphic-bsmi00lp: Package depends on tetex-bin, which makes it impossible to use with texlive

2006-10-15 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: tfm-arphic-bsmi00lp
Version: 2.11.2-0.1
Severity: normal


I wanted to try this font, but can't install it. It is supposed
to work with the omega variant of latex.  The package
depends on tetex-bin which conflicts with texlive.

I use texlive, and texlive cantains omega and is usually able to
do anything tetex-bin can.

Please consider changing the dependencies so this package will
be satisfied by either tetex-bin OR texlive-base-bin

Bug#393283: coreutils: 'chmod' unnecessarily calls into name services, breaking bootup with ldap

2006-10-15 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5
Severity: important


Actually a critical bug as it prevents bootup. On the other hand,
it probably don't affect that many people yet.

The problem is that this command:
chmod 0:0 filename
will do a completely unnecessary call into the name service switch.
This is unnecessary as the user and group is provided numerically.
It is of course necessary with chmod username:groupname file
but that is a different case.

This hangs the machine booting, because:
1. A xserver script provided by debian does exactly this chmod thing
2. The system uses openldap as its user database
3. openldap isn't started yet so chmod blocks forever.

As a workaround, I have nsswitch.conf set up to try the standard
files before contacting the ldap server.  This gives me a small
performance penalty on all lookups but the machine boots.

Looking up names is unnecessary when the uid:gid is numeric already,
it'd be nice if this was eliminated. ldap is a nice way of
running a centralized user database after all.

Bug#387376: ssh: Can't have different host keys for different ports but same address (NAT)

2006-09-13 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: ssh
Version: 1:4.3p2-3
Severity: normal


I have several PCs behind a NAT firewall.
I want to be able to ssh into any of them, going via a single
one is bad because I can't know which ones are up in advance.

So the NAT router forwards various ports to the different servers.

Unfortunately, ssh always check the hostkey against the IP
address only, and so it thinks there is a man-in-the-middle
attack when I try the second pc instead of the first.

Because then the key changes, but the ip address seems to not change.
But it really is another PC, because the port is different
and therefore forwarded to a different PC.



I appreciate the host key checking, but:
It should not be tied to ip address alone, it should
be tied to the ip:port pair.  That will keep the security,
but now same ip:differnet port will be allowed to have
different host keys.  same ip:same port will still not be allowed
to change its key.


I am not sure using the same host key everywhere will be good,
if one PC is compromised, then all is . . .

Bug#386589: lilypond: LilyPond wrongly depends on tetex, prevents use of texlive instead

2006-09-08 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: lilypond
Severity: normal


I can't install the debian packaged lilypond, because it depends
on tetex. My tex system is texlive, which does not coexist
with tetex.
Putting lilypond.org's version 2.9.17 in /usr/local
works fine for me though.

So it'd be nice if the package dependencies could be changed
so that lilypond is satisfied by either tetex or texlive.

Installing with force-depends isn't really an option as I
upgrade my testing/unstable system at least weekly and
apt-get will then insist on fixing this everytime.

Unfortunately, you haven't shown your configuration file yet.
I suspect you're using a wildcarded multidrop configuration.
  

Here is my /etc/fetchmailrc:

#Old mail server

user  there has password , is 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] here


#current ISP server
poll mail.broadpark.no protocol POP3
user  there has password , is

Perhaps this setup isn't the smartest? 
Still, it'd be nice if fetchmail would delete successfully delivered 
messages

when exim goes sour. That would at least avoid message multiplication,
although I would probably not get any mail through if all the x first
messages are bad.  That'd be a exim problem though, not a fetchmail fault.

Looks like I solved the problem by making exim accept 100 bad messages
instead of just 4 before giving up.  Still a DOS waiting to happen.

Bug#384594: firefox: Firefox wastes time on downloading stuff when I do switch page direction

2006-08-25 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-3
Severity: normal


I believe the context menu switch page direction is supposed
to lay the current page out differently, and that's it.

I tried switch page direction on http://vg.no,
and immediately got Read flash.vg.no and a long delay
as something (likely flash) was fetched from this slow site.

That looks like a performance bug to me, there should be no
need for fetching stuff off the net in order to lay the
page out differently.  Some sites are slow enough as they
are.  The current page is always in memory, isn't it?

Not a big problem for me, as I don't usually switch page
direction, but I guess this is used a lot more by people
who read both english pages and pages in right-to-left
languages.

Additional info:

fetchmail 6.3.4 and older do NOT log out of the upstream server after

Retitling the bug accordingly.
  

Thank you for the response.  I got around the problem temporarily by
reconfiguring exim to accept many more malformed adresses
in a session before hanging up.  (I now allow 100 instead of the
default 3).

I agree that grave was exaggregating, given that it was solveable
with a config change.  I was a bit desperate at the moment, worrying that
I might be unable to download email at all for some time.

There is no need to provide a special package just for me, as I
worked around it by relaxing exim.  Please use the time to
work on a fix instead.  My suggestion is to have fetchmail disconnect in
an orderly way, so that the messages actually downloaded are deleted.

This would solve the problem - I would get first 115 messages, then
a hangup.  After 10min, I'd get some more messages until exim trips up,
and after a few more rounds I'd get all my mail. 


Thanks for all the tips on workarounds and configuration, there is
clearly a lot I could do to avoid downloading that spam in the first place.

Bug#383870: fetchmail: Fetchmail duplicates my SPAM every 10 minutes - ARGH!

2006-08-20 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.4-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I have been using fetchmail for many years - it runs every 10 minutes
fetching from a few accounts.  The mail is then fed into a local
exim, because I used to have several users on this machine.

Yesterday, I discovered a hundred-doubling of my spam folder,
which was surprising.  Spam tend to increase, but not so abruptly.

Looking at the spam, the same messages repeated over and over.
Completely identical headers, even the message id. At first   
I thought someone had made new spam software with some sort   
of fault in it, but the same messages kept coming back
after I deleted them.

Then I had a look at what fetchmail was doing:


fetchmail -c showed  893 messages waiting for me at the ISP.
Fetchmail started collecting and delivering,
then one of the messages got an error
response because of a malformed address
with spaces in it.  Example:

reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:76 of 893 (1523 octets)
..fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 Denver [EMAIL PROTECTED]: @ or .
expected after Denver

There were many of these in addition to normal mail/spam, and after a while
I got:

reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:115 of 893 (1672 octets)
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 Too many syntax or protocol errors
.. flushed
reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:116 of 893 (1800 octets)
..fetchmail: SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error
fetchmail: socket error while fetching from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)


Fetchmail gave up.  Fine, I tried a
fetchmail -c
and noticed - still 893 messages left!  But I now have many of
them in my spambox.  Every 10 minutes, fetchmail get me 115   
copies of the _same_ spam, then gives up.


Now, I understand that fetchmail don't want to destroy
the faulty messages - there could be something important.

But it _really_ should remove from the server all those
messages that were delivered successfully!  I should not get
the same (successful) spam messages delivered over and over and over!

I have never seen anything like this before, and it is very annoying.
Now, I can set up a client to access that ISP account directly, and  
delete messages on the server.  But that won't help, for surely
I will get more spam with spaces in the TO: field
that will trip up fetchmail again and again.

Is there a solution for this, or will there
be one soon? I'll try other versions of fetchmail
available from debian, of course.

As it is - fetchmail is unuseable because it both fail to fetch 90%
of my mail, _and_ it fills up the disk slowly threatening the system
with a full disk.  Incoming mail service is denied.


Feel free to yell if I am running fetchmail in a stupid way -
there isn't much thought in this setup, but it worked flawlessly
for many years now.

Bug#376259: lynx ftp download: Want save as default, not help

2006-07-01 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.5-2sarge1
Severity: wishlist


Lynx is nice for browsing ftp sites.
When finding something interesting, I press 'd' and lynx
downloads it. Then it shows me a page
with an option to save the downloaded file.


A long time ago, this page was very nice.  The save
link was active by default, probably because it was the first
link.  So, after downloading, I could press 
'rightarrow' and save the downloaded file with a single click.

Think about it.  When you download, you want to save the file somewhere.
It is almost always the next step, so it should definitely
be the default choice!

Some day, lynx regressed on an upgrade.  Now the default link
is 'help', which no-one should need here.  Well, I certainly don't
mind that help is available, even though it is really easy when you have
gotten this far.  But it should not be the default!

When downloading, 'help' isn't what you need normally. A somewhat
silly user might need it, but only the first few times and
then he knows what to do.  Please consider optimizing for the
common case of wanting to save the downloaded file.

Lynx is something I use for its speed mainly, an extra keypress
gets in the way of speed.

It'd be really nice to have save to disk as the default/first
link again, with the help stuff as a secondary choice. That'd bring
the speed back to the user interface.


I should have reported this a long time ago, but it isn't really
a bug. User interface design bug, perhaps. ;-) Now I figured
out I could report it as a wish.

Bug#376216: apt: Same dist-upgrade over and over, database not updated?

2006-06-30 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44.2
Severity: important



Usually, apt-get dist-upgrade will install some packages. Rerunning it
without an intervening update is supposed to find everything in order.

But not so anymore.

Rerunning the dist-upgrade wants to install the same set of packages again
and again and again...

Everytime, apt-get does the install, sets up packages, runs scripts etc.

dpkg -l confirms the new packages are installed
command --version confirms new program versions too.

But apt apparently forgets to record that the packages are, in fact,
upgraded.  So a new apt-get dist-upgrade will go through the motions
and overwrite every package with the SAME version.  Look at 
this silliness:

case, let me know. These symlinks were created with debhelper hence I
assumed they would go away automatically.
  

Thanks, that solved the problem.

There were indeed symlinks, there were nothing wrong with
your packages at all.

Bug#375922: Install several texlive-packages, and watch updmap-sys run over and over

2006-06-28 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: texlive
Version: 2005-2
Severity: wishlist


Not really a bug, only a performance problem.  Therefore, whishlist status.
I noticed that when installing several texlive packages, 
(dist-upgrade, or first-time install) then the rather slow updmap-sys
runs over and over and over.  It runs for every package that
might need it. This alone make dist-upgrade noticeably slower.

Contrast this to how update-menus works.  update-menus is
postponed until everything is installed, then it runs once.

Perhaps a similiar mechanism could be used for updmap-sys and
mktexlsr, saving some time?

Even more sad: uninstalling all of texlive runs updmap-sys and
mktexlsr for quite a few of the packages as they go, and the
effort is totally wasted as in the end there is nothing left.
Nort so much of a problem as one don't uninstall over and over.
But if a dealyed updmap-sys is implemented for dist-upgrades,
then it could be used on uninstall as well.

These seem OK. That is, the package is consistent with itself. Check if
your checksums match the ones here. You can check the file one by one.
Which mirror are you using? I'm assuming you are using the crypto
version of apt with up to date archive keys (ie. you get no warnings
about untrusted sources).
  

This is strange. I ran debsums jikes again, and got:

After an apt-get update, my jikes was still the last version.  But I
reinstalled it anyway with apt-get -t unstable --reinstall install jikes
And now the checksums match! 


This is strange -- nothing was downloaded because I already have the latest
package.  Last time it gave me checksum errors, now it doesn't?
I have a newer kernel now, (2.6.17-mm1) that could theoretically
make a difference if the old one had a rare filesystem error or something.

All the file chekcsums matches yours now, so I guess the
problem is solved, whatever it was.

I found the same problem with jikes-kaffe and jikes-classpath.
Checksum errors, and it is the copyright files that are affected.

So I made backups of the mismatching jikes-kaffe files that were wrong,
before reinstalling the package from my .deb file.
(The wrong files for the jikes package is now lost.)

The reinstalled jikes-kaffe had correct checksums.  So I
compared the old and new copyright files, and found
them to be completely different.

The correct /usr/share/doc/jikes-kaffe/copyright starts like this:
  KAFFE LICENSES

Kaffe includes code from many different sources. Currently it contains a
great deal of code under the GPL and LGPL. Those licenses can be found in
/usr/share/common-licenses. Some parts of Kaffe under those licenses have
various exceptions detailed below. Additionally, some parts of Kaffe are
from work by the W3C and is therefore under a W3C license. That license
is also included in this file.


The wrong file starts like this:
This package was originaly debianized by Mike Goldman [EMAIL PROTECTED] on
Sun, 14 Mar 1999 12:46:09 -0500.

Current maintainer is Adam Majer [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and it continues with an IBM public licence. for the jikes compiler.
The word IBM isn't even mentioned in the correct file.

So I wonder, has there been a change of licence without an update in
the version number?  Or is wrong file versions something that can happen
when I break apt-get/dpkg with ctrl+C?  I do that occationally, I 
believed that

any half-written package should be re-unpacked upon rerunning the
apt-get command later. 


Or is this assumption wrong?  It'd be strange for apt-get to update its
database with a new version number installed if the unpacking
(or some pre-/post-install script) got interrupted.

Bug#374947: jikes: Cheksum mismatch even after fresh reinstall - cause found

2006-06-27 Thread Helge Hafting

Now I found the problem.

The three packages jikes, jikes-kaffe and jikes-classpath
all overwrite each others copyright files.

So:
Installing jikes wrecks the checksums of jikes-classpath and jikes-kaffe
Installing jikes-kaffe wrecks the checksums of jikes and jikes-classpath
Installing jikes-classpath wrecks the checksums of jikes and jikes-kaffe


Just try it.  Install all three packages.
Then, apt-get --reinstall install one of the packages
run
debsums jikes jikes-kaffe jikes-classpath
and see that the one installed is ok, and the other two is not.
This is fully repeatable and works for any of the three packages.

My guess: over-eager cutpaste when making postinst scripts? ;-)

Probably not a real problem, except it trips up debsums and
stores wrong licencing info.

Bug#375351: console-tools: loadkeys always segfaults when I try to load a keyboard map

2006-06-25 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: console-tools
Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-62
Severity: normal


$ loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/no-standard.kmap.gz
loadkeys[3681]: segfault at 05a0 rip 2b48fbb73eea rsp
7fffaf267f88 error 4
segmentation fault 

This always happen when I try to load a keyboard map.
Strangely enough, loadkeys succeeds if I run it from within X.
But run it on a VT, and it hangs.

I should mention that the machine is a bit unusual, with two
video cards and two keyboards attached.  Still, loadkeys used to work
fine with this setup before.  The two screens shouldn't really matter
as long as loadkeys only deal with the keyboard, and normally
having two keybaords didn't matter either.

This downgrade solves my problems:
# apt-get install console-tools=1:0.2.3dbs-56 libconsole=1:0.2.3dbs-56
Now loadkeys don't segfault any more.

Bug#374192: gnumeric: printing doesn't take advantage room on rotated printout

2006-06-17 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.6.3-2
Severity: normal


I tried to print a small spreadsheet, which I hoped to fit
on one page.  There weren't room for the rightmost column though,
so it appeared on a page of its own.  No surprise, as I
printed it in portrait orientation on A4 paper.


So I tried turning the paper feed orientation by 90 degrees.

The preview then shows my spreadsheet rotated the way I want it,
on the A4-like paper in the preview.  But silly enough, that column
is _still_ on a page of its own, even though there now is room for it.
Very strange, unless rotated printing is unsupported.
Actually printing this gives a unrotated printout, so I guess
rotated printing isn't supported?


I tried changing the page orientation as well as the paper feeding
orientation. This gave me a correct preview, at least.
Pressing print in this preview dialog doesn't print,
it brings up a printer select dialog, where I choose epsonR800
instead of the default generic postcript and Create a PDF document.
Unfortunately, changing printer resets my choice of orientation!

Stupid, now I have to change exactly the same stuff again!

Now, I understand that changing printer might need a change
in formjat, the other printer *might* support different paper only.
But then, the choice of printer should happen before the
choice of orientation and format!

There is absolutely no use in carefully setting up the print job
only to get every choice set back to whatever is default on the
other printer.  I hope you consider reordering (and simplifying)
the dialogs so printer selection necessarily happens before
format selection?  


Well, I changed the selections again, and got a good preview
on the monitor, with correct printer selected. Paper feeding
and page orientation were both rotated, in order to get a
nice-looking preview.  It printed upright anyway though.
Well, this printer really only support portrait-oriented A4,
bu the previews look like shit without rotated feeding, with
most of the print outside the edge of the paper. :-(


Ok, so I thought: lets try with correct settings, so I set it
to non-rotated feeding, and landscape page orientation.
Now the preview looks exactly like my shitty previous printout,
that is, a landscape oriented page printed in portrait orientation
so that the right edge is cut off.  Headers and footers are
placed wrong for a portrait page, correct for a landscape page.
This looks stupid when it in fact previews in portrait orientation.

Printing this preview mess gave me exactly the same mess
on paper too.  Changing page orientation to landscape
clearly cause the print data to be laid out for A4 landscape,
but it prints in portrait mode anyway. Both on printer and on
the preview. :-( 

If the lanscape option isn't supported yet, please consider 
graying it out until it makes a difference.

Changing the paper feeding orientation has effect on the preview,
an no effect whatsoever on the printer.  The option really shouldn't
be offered when the printer doesn't support it.  Assuming
this is possible to detect, of course.


So I tried printing to a pdf file.  Rotation still did not work,
no matter how I combined the two rotation options. (Rotated paper
feeding, or landscape, or both).  I finally printed straight up
to a paper with a custom size. My custom paper had
the same height as the width of an A4 paper, and the same width as
the height of A4 paper.  This pdf file printed correctly.

Getting a correct landscape print is possibly, but only
by jumping through hoops.

Bug#371071: A png file showing the problem

2006-06-08 Thread Helge Hafting

The attached small png file shows what the problem looks like.
While working, bad cells suddenly turn good again, but this
is not easy to force.  I have seen that it happens in
columns other than the first one too now.

Bug#371071: gnumeric: Rendering error - first column is usually unreadable

2006-06-07 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.6.3-2
Severity: normal


Gnumeric works and the cells contain correct data.  But the cells in
the first column often displays as garbage.  Often, but not always.
Using the arrow key to roll through the first column generally
provokes this.  When the column displays badly it stays bad,
covering and then uncovering the gnumeric window does nothing.

This is a bug that comes and goes.  I have seen it years ago,
then it disappeared.  Now it is here again, this time it seems
to happen only in the first column.  It is irritating,
it makes this otherwise fine software look amateurish.

I'll follow up this report with a small PNG showing
my problem.

Bug#369484: slapd: Bug in initscript, could wreck database

2006-05-30 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.23-1
Severity: normal


I was reading the /etc/init.d/slapd script, in order to make
an equivalent start/stop script for initng.

I noticed this snippet of code which is wrong:

# Make sure there is no slapcat and no slapd running as we might
# break the DB in that case
if pidof /usr/lib/slapd /dev/null; then
echo -n  (slapd running, no recovery), 
return 0
fi

The poblem here is that /usr/lib/slapd is the wrong path.
slapd lives in /usr/sbin, so the correct would be
if pidof /usr/sbin/slapd /dev/null; then

As it stands, the test will never ever trigger.  Now, the
case where it is needed is unlikely to happen, but it is
possible if slapd is started manually and then the initscript runs
somehow.  Then BDB could break.

The obvious fix is to change the line as above.  I have tested the
pidof command,
pidof /usr/lib/slapd   does nothing, while
pidof /usr/sbin/slapd  gives me the correct pid.

I have to somewhat question the validity of this test at all.

(a) slapcat does not harm the database, and hasn't done so since at 
least OpenLDAP 2.1.  This sounds like an ancient holdover.
(b) OpenLDAP 2.3 already has a file (alock) that determines whether or 
not recover should be performed.  In no case should an init script be 
calling db_recover itself.  If that is the case, the init script is 
horribly broken.



Either way, the slapd package needs fixing.  What I saw was clearly wrong,
the script ran 'pidof'  against a nonexistant filename.  So I tried to
fix that.  Of course my simple fix doesn't help if what the script tries to
do is wrong anyway.  I do not know the details of slapd  bdb,
I assumed the comments were accurate with just an implementation error.
I am now looking forward for the proper fix, which I don't know
enough to make myself.

Bug#366107: Installing tex-common gets stuck after giving invalid group

2006-05-08 Thread Helge Hafting

Frank Küster wrote:


Hi everybody,

 


Helge Hafting [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

A nice fix for tex-common, would be to do minimal validation
of the group name entered.  For example, see if
getent groupname works.  Shellscript test:

if getent group $GROUPNAME ; then echo ok ; else echo bad ; fi

This works for me, of course you want to do better than echo,
i.e. bring up the group dialog box again on failure.
  

   


That sounds like a very good way to do it; many thanks.
 



I've been writing some code, but now I'm unsure about one thing: What
will happen if somebody installs Debian newly on a clean system,
e.g. with a CD, and chooses to install a TeX system at the very first
moment?  Does this happen before local users (and hence groups) are
created?  


If this situation might arise, we cannot check for valid groups in the
config script (which is run immediately after doing the choices and
downloading, and prior to any unpacking or installation).  


Does anybody know, or do we need to ask the installer people?

Regards, Frank
 


I don't know what will happen.  But there is a solution,
instead of forcing the user to select a valid group, just
pop up a warning that the group does not exist yet, and
so the installation will halt in post-install unless some other
package being installed will add the group in the meantime,
as part of its own configuration.  Then they can select to
go back and change the group name (root should alsways be safe)
or proceed and hope the best.


Thinking of it, if other packages that add groups does so in the
post-install step, then it might not help very much. tex-common
post-install could very well be first.
So forcing people to select a group valid at install time might not
be so bad - because otherwise they can be pretty sure they'll hang
the install a little later anyway.

Someone forced to select a group he don't want can always
dpkg-reconfigure the successfully installed text-common later,
which definitely is better than having to purge tex-common,
fix the broken install, and then reinstall tex-common.


Also, I think you won't be installing tex as the very first here.
First you install the base system, only then do you get to choose
the rest.  So I believe that standard groups like root and bin
and so on will be available.

I am not sure, but I think the adduser package usually is installed
with the base system too, so you could offer to run addgroup
for nonexisting groups.

Bug#366108: debconf: Misconfigured package can block further installs, and can't be reconfigured

2006-05-05 Thread Helge Hafting
Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.0
Severity: normal


I noticed this while doing a dist-upgrade.
The package tex-common asked for a group to own font files,
and I mistyped it. tex-common then failed in its post-install
script, and blocked further upgrading.

Now, this would be easy to fix if I could use
dpkg-reconfigure tex-common
to correct the misspelled group name.  But
dpkg-reconfigure won't touch such a package because it is
broken.  This is a problem, because the problem cannot
be fixed.  dpkg-reconfigure should simply run and ask the
questions in such a case, so I can do a
apt-get -f install (or similiar) later.

Reconfiguring the not fully installed package proved impossible.
I tired removing it the excessive way, with 
dpkg --force-depends --remove tex-common,
but the broken config remained.  I was not asked any questions
on package reinstall, so it broke the same way!  I had hoped to
get the config questions again, so I could correct the
wrong group name.  And keep any other setting, of course.

I had to use dpkg --force-depends --purge tex-common, then
I could reinstall the package.  This is bad, as a purge
destroys each and every setting completely.  Fortunately,
tex-common only have a couple of settings, but
imagine this scenario happening with the xserver, the ldap server, 
or some other really complex software.

The solution seems simple to me - please let dpkg-reconfigure
work on packages that are broken due to a failed post-install.
It will then be possible to fix bad settings, without 
clearing all other settings for the same package.  And without resorting
to hairy options like --force-depends.
