Bug#1040445: udev creates wrong symlink from rule after upgrade to bookworm

2023-08-23 Thread Karl Schmidt

I'm not up on the steps to do to get the debug (if you can list the command(s) 
to run?).

BUT -

After the last reboot which has 252.12-1~deb12u1  I saw

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   9 2023-08-17 16:29 ttyUSB-nut -> gpiochip0

Which is wrong - So I unplugged and replugged the cable and looked again and 
see:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2023-08-23 11:57 ttyUSB-nut -> bus/usb/001/003

Which is also wrong...

Nothing unusual in syslog:

Bug#1041440: popularity-contest: Non Debian - non Deb packages should be able to be reported - packages missing from Debian

Due to the distributed nature of the mirroring setup, there are no such
data, so it can not be used like that.


It Would be possible to fix that. Data just from one server would give a pretty good idea of the popularity. People that 
run popcon likewise are a subset of the real picture.  A scrip could look at the download logs - make a count - you 
could then compare with popcon to see if the numbers match - I think they would.





What would be even more important is gathering statistics on non
Debian and even non Deb package software installed.


This has been discussed for a while.  You might find for example
https://bugs.debian.org/632438 > illuminating.


Interesting. For example - I know there are a lot of people still using 
komposer - nothing really replaces it.

The number of people running appimage packages in place of the older debian 
versions would be interesting to know as well.

The non-debian executable information seems more important than popcon to me.

Bug#1041440: popularity-contest: Non Debian - non Deb packages should be able to be reported - packages missing from Debian

2023-07-18 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.76
Severity: wishlist

While popcon seems a good idea - it seems that data from repository downloads 
would do much the same job. 
What would be even more important is gathering statistics on non Debian and 
even non Deb package software installed.

I would imagine a setting to identify locations of non Debian executables so 
such data could be collected.

There is a pseudo-package bug - wnpp - that almost no one uses, but I would 
think that statistics on what 
is missing from Debian would be quite important.

Bug#1040446: nut-server: failed after upgrade - upscode2: Missing UPCL after UPCL error

2023-07-05 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: nut-server
Version: 2.7.4-13
Severity: normal

Upgrade to bookworm broke things with the new nut-server pkg

The error is misleading - it has to do with some debug code. 

Some details on the mailing list at:
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2023-July/013366.html

The jist of it - the driver upscode2 works with debug=3 - but not without - some
bug was just fixed that probably cures this according to the mailing list.

I didn't sucseed in creating a new pkg from the github sources so I downgraded 
to the 
old version to keep things working.

There is a new version upstream - would love to test it once in a deb package.

agreed, someone should fix xdg-desktop-portal to not cause errors

Ok - now I'm really confused..

My digging had me looking at fuse3?

I don't see such open bug in xdg-desktop-portal  ?


I saw this crop up when I did a sshfs mount..

df hinted at the strange /root/.cache directoy -

I thought it was due to the /root/.cache/doc/by-app directory - which has 
nothing in it - can't be deleted.

I figured it was in use - but lsof can't see it.

lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.portal file system /run/user/1001/doc
  Output information may be incomplete.

$ ll /run/user/1001/

returns

d? ? ??  ?? doc/

Finally the error lsof gave me had me look for a bad mount - but unmounting the 
sshfs mount does not make it go away.

Ahh . It was a second mount at /run/user/1001/doc

I was able to get back to normal with:
$ umount /run/user/1001/doc

- so once gone - I tried to recreate - turns out it is not the sshfs mount - it 
is

$ pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY meld

That creates the mess -- pkexec is part of policykit-1

Don't see any such bugs.. hope these breadcrumbs help someone.

Bug#991378: This bug is still alive

2022-01-07 Thread Karl Schmidt

It breaks the df command and rf command - both return unhelpful error messages 
- breaks scrips that use df..

Putting a mount point in /root/.cache  was never a good idea - not where they 
belong (breaks the FHS standard)

Adds confusion to users - something in a cache should be delete-able - this creates what looks like an empty directory 
that one can not delete.


Not able to install fuse3 from testing as it wants to remove libc-bin..

Stable needs an update.

I think this should have severity: critical as it breaks unrelated software? - or at the very least 'serious' as if 
violates a few of the must and required directives?

Bug#981592: keyboard-configuration: Compose key can not create Greek symbols with altgr-intl layout

2021-02-01 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.200
Severity: important

Could be that the compose file at  /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose 
should include the coding for the normal engineering greek symbols via 
the compose-key?
(This is supposed to be the source of the 'compose' key codings (The compose 
key is labeled  to help confuse people))

This at one time we could get these symbols with g or G  --   
 would get us π (PI).

There are all sorts of rare charactors in the file - but the Greek letters - 
like π (PI) - are not assigned a compose key sequence ..
instead by a  key.

If I run xmodmap -pke |grep -i dead_

I see there isn't a greek dead-key assigned.

This rather normal set up should allow one to type Greek symbols 'out of the 
box'.

The file at /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose belongs to libx11-data - 
but I don't see that it is open?

i7-7700K it still crashes if the file is large (some size limit could be added?)


This was originally a assembly language program - there is a version in the sources that is C ( The make file is 
building the assembly one with nasm )..



There was a time when the size mattered - and it is fast - simple and -- used 
to work..

There is a C translation in the sources - could be that should be what gets 
built?

But I have a hunch it is only me and a handful of other users.

https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=e3

I would hate to see this program go - but my assembly skills are not with x86 - could be the installed version 
should be the C version?


The fact is it is not runable on many amd64 systems - and really shouldn't be 
released as is.

I hope someone comes up and fixes it so it can run on atoms and  N2807  etc.. -- I've confirmed it crashes and 
likely causes corruption ( top shows left over processes.. ).


The only other shell editor that I have found with the e3ne key bindings is 
diakonos - no longer in Debian.

I hope this doesn't disappear - but it really shouldn't be in stable in it's 
current condition.

Bug#966575: grub-pc: error: symbol `grub_calloc' not found.

2020-08-09 Thread Karl Schmidt

Triggered this with an apt upgrade dist-upgrade


APT::Default-Release "buster";

grub-pc   2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u2

,.,.
This system had mirrored drives -

Had to boot off a thumbdrive - enter rescue -  when it asked for the boot drive - had to tell it to 
build raid - then select the raid ( /dev/md0) as the boot drive.


There then was a menu item to fix grub - wondered if it worked - so I entered a shell and did an 
update-grub2


After reboot all was well.

I don't know if this will repeat or not?



Be kind to the developers - it has been over a decade for a nasty like this to sneak by - which is 
amazing.

Hello,

 From where did you get that idea? I cannot find any reference in the
specification about "protocol = smtps" being openssl-only.


Thanks ..

Turns out I was following an incorrect example --

They had
driver = smtps

Should be

driver = smtp
 protocol = smtps










A breadcrum for others: According to exim.org docs one must recompile
and change USE_OPENSSL=yes in Local/Makefile to USE_GNUTLS=yes



It could be there needs to be two packages - exim4-gnutl and exim4-openssl



At the very least the README.Debian should start out with which
version it is.

Package: sddm
Version: 0.14.0-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When exiting KDE - it asks if you want to shutdown, reboot etc.  This brings up 
a sddm screen
that asks again for the same information.  My understanding is that kde is 
sending a variable to
sddm on exit that sddm is not respecting.

What should happen is on exiting KDE, there is no need to bring up a sddm 
screen.

Bug#862793: samba: Upgrade to 2:4.5+ breaks win7 support

2017-05-16 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: samba
Version: 2:4.5.8+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading to stretch left me with samba down as a standalone server for 
supporting our last Win-7 box

The symptom was that the win machine kept asking for a password - nothing in 
the logs hinted to the situation.

After a very long day, I found A default setting "NTLM auth" had changed from 
"yes" to "no" in 4.5.

This change was probably a 'good thing'(tm), but without a bug report google 
was not helpful.

Perhaps a mention in NEWS.Debian or  README.Debian would be some welcome 
bread-crumbs as I'm
sure there are others that also have to support these old systems.

Bug#862680: isc-dhcp-server: debconfig fails with the new Predictable Network Interface Names in stretch

2017-05-15 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.3.5-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

dpkg-reconfigure can bring up a dialog that asks which says:
"The interfaces will be automatically detected if this field is left blank."

This is no longer true.

One must find the name in /sys/class/net and enter it in 
/etc/defaults/isc-dhcp-server or via reconfigure.

>From my current  /etc/defaults/isc-dhcp-server config:

# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
#   Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACESv4="enp0s31f6"
#INTERFACESv6="enp0s31f6"

( The stock comments here are now obsolete as well )


You can also see that I commented out the IPV6 line which got things working.

The documentation on https://wiki.debian.org/DHCP_Server

needs to be updated as well once this gets resolved.

Might want to put a migration note in /usr/share/doc/isc-dhcp-server re IPv6 
and device names while into this.

2016-12-05 Thread Karl Schmidt

In version 0.20-2+deb8u1 (stable as of 2016-12-05)
ufraw-batch appears to silently not honor any of the settings in the config 
file :


ufraw-batch --conf=/home/username/photo-scan/cneg.ufraw --out-type=png 
--out-path=/home/karl/photo-scan/scan-project/cneg-6 /media/karl/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100EOS5D/IMG_0199.CR2


Ignores the settings in cneg.ufraw including crop.


(There isn't a backport so I don't have a good way to test later versions)

The workaround is to not use --config and just use command line settings.


,.,.
There is also an error in the man page - the default config is not stored in 
$HOME/.ufrawrc
but rather in:

Bug#726579: Apparently fixed in the version found in testing

2016-08-01 Thread Karl Schmidt

$ ssh -p 2022 -o kexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 localhost

ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 127.0.0.1: no matching key exchange 
method found [preauth]

$ ssh -p 2022 -o ciphers=3des-cbc localhost

ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 127.0.0.1: no matching cipher found 
[preauth]


There is no backport of this - nor is it in the security update ( Probably should be as it effects 
security if running fail2ban )


As it is fixed in newer versions this bug probably should be closed.

Bug#635752: That setup from above generates an error

2015-10-24 Thread Karl Schmidt

One needs to do a :
 $ systemctl daemon-reload

After putting the file there.

The error is
/lib/systemd/system/ntp.service:6] Unknown lvalue '+ EnvironmentFile' in 
section 'Service'

Removing the 'plus-sign' won't fix it.


[OT but important bread-crumbs for others...]

The systemd-timesyncd.service works out of the box - no need to do anything but enable it in systemd 
- but if you need your own time server it fixes nothing. And if you want to use 
systemd-timesyncd.service and point it at your own time server you need to edit 
/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf

 - the keyword Servers needs a Capital 's' and the s at the end.

Bug#786942: upgrade-reports: wheezy -> jessie boot lock up "A start job is running for udev wait for Complete Device Initialization"

2015-05-30 Thread Karl Schmidt
Finally SOLVED - the problem was traced back to the nvidia driver package I was using (in jessie 
340.65+3.16.0+1) - I removed it ( the need has been eliminated as nouveau can now support dual 
headed displays). ( I did have to create a minimal /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get it to work at all 
(shouldn't be the case)).


What is interesting, was the total lack of logging from the nvidia provided software - even 
disabling kdm did not prevent the start-up hang.


I'm also thinking that the distribution upgrade process should probably check a list of old problem 
causing cruft packages.


I was able to find the problem by creating a list of packages on this machine and a similar one with 
a fresh install - loading those into meld to show the differences.

Hi Karl,

Thanks for taking the time to report an upgrade report.

I can see that the archlinux report (link found in the forum posts)
suggests this is a problem between ACPI and systemd/udev.  If you have
acpid instaled, have you tried to uninstall acpid and unmask
systemd-udev-settle?

Note we have a issue between acpid and logind noted in our release notes[1].


OK - I did the following

# systemctl unask systemd-udev-settle
# dpkg --purge acpid

This lets it boot - but there is now a long delay as seen here from
the top of # systemd-analyze blame

18.124s systemd-udev-settle.service
 11.393s nut-driver.service
  4.151s systemd-fsck@dev-md6.service
  3.508s accounts-daemon.service


verses with systemd-udev-settle masked

 16.651s nut-driver.service
   351ms dphys-swapfile.service

(the nut-driver should not be so slow either ..)

My searches on systemd-udev-settle masked tell me it is about "fake block device storage technology" 
(in my case mdadm - the raid)



I don't really need acpid on this system - it would be nice if it booted faster 
like it did.

Something is still broken - I suspect it has to do with the boot from a pair of raid-1 solid state 
drives (acpid gets confused by trying to monitor the fake block device?) .


Hope this has been helpful anyway.

One has to do something like:

And then grep for the errors to find the directory involved - but all of these errors have to do 
with decompression and I can't recreate the errors using other tools - there appears to be no 
problems with the files.


If they are not using the normal libs for expanding compressed files, it could explain these errors 
as well?

Also, could you try pulseaudio and pavucontrol from testing (it will update a 
bunch
of stuff unfortunately), to check if this is fixed by newer versions?
Perhaps you can use a live-cd to avoid messing with your system.


I once had a link for a live Debian thumbdrive - (it really didn't work at the time) - BUT it is an 
excellent way to have people try something on testing on a stable machine - but I'm not finding the 
link for it (hoping it works these days). ( You would think there would be a direct link from the 
debian home page - but it isn't there you have to know to go here:

http://live.debian.net/ )

I should be able to test in a day or two..

Bug#642179: debian-installer: Installs on drives larger than 2.19TB fails with older bios

2014-03-02 Thread Karl Schmidt

On 03/02/2014 03:23 PM, Cyril Brulebois wrote:

Control: tag -1 - d-i squeeze

This is from quite a while ago - There have been changes to grub2 and many other tools in the mean 
time.  There are two issues - one is bios limitations on some MBs and the other is the need to use 
GPT for the partition table on large TB drives.


I have some notes on this here:

http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/EFI_UEFI_GUID_GPT_and_large_TB_partitions

One can sometimes work around the BIOS issues by changing to coreboot on 
supported MBs.

I have not tested this with wheezy as my preferred set up now uses a raid of SSHDs for the / (system 
files) and only /home is on the large drives.


Your question should be if the install images support GPT - and that I don't 
know.  Hope I've helped.




Hi Karl,

Karl Schmidt  (2011-09-22):

This is failing with the current squeeze installer that uses grub2.

What I don't know is if this is possibly a BIOS issue - my
understanding is that Debian takes over and uses its own driver.

This is on a Tyan S7002 which uses:

# lspci |grep SATA
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI 
Controller

for the SATA controller.

I'm attempting a workaround - I'm installing the main system on a
40GB raided pair of SSD and will have /homes on large (> 2.18TB )
drives. I will partition the large drives with gparted and use GPT.


are you experiencing similar issues with wheezy installation images?

Mraw,
KiBi.

Bug#581607: /sbin/fdisk: fdisk does not see the partitions of 2.0 tera

2013-10-30 Thread Karl Schmidt

On 10/30/2013 02:57 PM, Phillip Susi wrote:

I'm afraid your description here is too vague to be understood.
Please try to describe in detail what you did and what happened.



Most likely the original post had to do with fdisk not seeing a GUID partition.

I think if you read the above information it becomes clear that anything over 2.19TB requires GUID. 
 At least back when this bug was new fdisk did not support GUID and didn't give a useful message.
( Today is says something like: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdc'! The util 
fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. )


There is also spotty support around 2TB by many MB BIOS and more than a few 
bugs.

So the real problem is some user reads a howto on the web someplace that is pre GUID and it does not 
work with large TB drives, GUID. This is going to become more of an issue as TB drives have become 
the norm.


It also does not help that there is a soup of acronyms (GUID GPT EFI UEFI) and needless jargon piled 
up by 'complexity junkies' to confuse people moving to a GPT.


EFI(Extensible Firmware Interface)
UEFI(Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
GUID(Globally Unique Identifier)
GPT(GUID Partition Table)

Thus, even if people have heard of one of these acronyms they probably won't know the one you are 
using. They also likely won't know if their computer BIOS supports booting from a GPT.


If the Debian wiki used a sane wiki syntax I would even write this up there - instead, I put up a 
beginning of a page here:


http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/EFI_UEFI_GUID_GPT_and_large_TB_partitions.

and you can read about it on wikipedia here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

IMO, at one time, jfs was really a better choice ( good set of tools). Even in a few cases where

better choice. ( I don't think IBM is interested in supporting jfs - no idea if they are phasing out

Bug#718726: pulseaudio: Front panel/rear switches available in ALSA not exposed via pavucontrol

2013-08-04 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2.0-6.1
Severity: normal


As of wheezy - one can switch both the audio out and microphone inputs between 
the back connectors and front panel connectors using alsamixer.
These ALSA functions should be automatically exposed by pulseaudio

This occurs with a CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio] card, but google searches suggest 
that other cards have the same issue.

As wheezy will be stable for a couple of years, this bug report might help 
others find the alsamixer work around.

This is still the case in wheezy.  I can use and see a bluetooth headset via pulseaudio, but it is 
not displayed via the mixers or aplay -l


bluez-alsa contains /usr/share/alsa/bluetooth.conf

Following the instructions does not seem to help.

It does work via pulseaudio - and if pulseaudio is to be the 'Debian way' for desktop systems, it 
might help if it gets documented in the debian wiki ( https://wiki.debian.org/Sound )

Thanks for your reply, My concern is that while I know it has to be removed on a wheezy server, 
there is some amount of security that it did provide that is now missing - and I don't think it has 
been obsoleted in the updates of php.


If this was some other package, it would be of little interest, but when security appears to be 
going backwards, it gets my attention.


I have not seen anywhere any analysis of the impact on security, now that this

Bug#714974: NFS 'readdir loop' error on JFS

2013-07-08 Thread Karl Schmidt

On 07/07/2013 08:13 PM, Ben Hutchings wrote:

Jonathan McDowell and Karl Schmidt reported that when sharing a JFS
filesystem through NFS and Samba, NFS clients can report 'readdir loop'
and the directories in question then appear to have duplicate entries on
the client system.

This was seen with Linux 3.2 on the server and client.  The JFS
directory code is basically unchanged since then, but NFS has changed
somewhat.

The original bug reports were:
http://bugs.debian.org/685407#85
http://bugs.debian.org/714974

The log messages are:

Is this likely to be a problem with JFS, the NFS client or server?  Can
anyone suggest how to investigate this further?

Ben.


The experiment with NFS client on Windozs XP was bad - very poor performance. I'm told that it might 
work better in Windoze 7 - removed and back to samba.


For now, I am not having problems after commenting out this line in smb.conf

#strict locking = yes

Previously, I had already commented out :

#oplocks = no
#level2oplocks = no

But could still reproduce the problem.

I'm not sure it is fixed as there were time before when all worked well for some weeks before the 
errors turned.


Question: Is samba still using NLM protocol to lock files? ( I think NFS no 
longer uses that? )


,.,.,.
I've did find a different error during all this testing -included here as it might be related - 
perhaps due to the last nfs update.


in /etc/exports the server called malaysia we have:
/home/accounting 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

fstab on a Debian wheezy client:
malaysia:/home/accounting/mnt/accounting nfs   
defaults,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr 0 0

/mnt# ll
total 112
drwxrwsrwx 16 nobody nogroup  4096 2013-07-08 08:00 accounting/

This is wrong..

I think this may have to do with a bug workaround where the installer added
27.0.1.1 to the /etc/hosts file ?

Then there is /etc/idmapd and /etc/defaults/nfs-common on the client that I didn't used to have to 
mess with?


It is also important to have the fqdn as the first name in /etc/hosts
hostname --fqdn is correct on both machines


I think this might have to do with a fix for CVE-2013-1923

The changes I made included adding

NEED_IDMAPD=yes

to /etc/defaults/nfs-common

And removing no_all_squash which is now the default.

Is NEED_IDMAPD=yes now needed as reverse lookups have been turned off?

The debian wiki needs updating to let people know they need to if this is 
really the case?

It has been a long night..

Probably specific to jfs, just as the other bug was specific to
ext3/4.  While this ought to be fixed in jfs, I would suggest moving
to ext4, XFS or ext3 as these receive more development and testing.


The plan is ext4 - (jfs was at one time a much better bet - I had been putting it off when ext still 
had issues)


Might have been something cached - I touched the directory having problems and 
now it is working..

nfs-kernel-server contains the scripts to set up the NFS kernel server; the

of the 'linux' package.

You said here that this bug was fixed: <http://bugs.debian.org/685407#152>.  
Though I was
sceptical, as we didn't change anything in jfs.  So what has changed between 
then and now?


Worked fine for a while after I upgraded changed the kernel. (fooled myself 
good )
Now, I've realized problem only occurs in the directory that has a samba share - I had 2 strange 
settings trying to please a windoze side program:


oplocks = No
level2 oplocks = No

I tried removing these settings. - no joy - I was still able to get this error:


Jul  5 11:24:21 singapore kernel: [340720.514830] NFS: directory accounting/US-bank_viaklix contains 
a readdir loop.Please contact your server vendor.  The file: Services_enabled has duplicate cookie 8


Just before that was this indication of a imap exchange:
Jul  5 11:24:17 singapore rpc.idmapd[2403]: nss_getpwnam: name '' not found in domain 
'xtronics.network'



Do I need to do something to update the cookies?

Any clues if this is samba related or jfs related?

Related to length of time from last reboot?


The problem seems to be limited to when both windoze and linux file browsers look at the same 
directory after a new file was created on the windoze side.


The other detail is that this setup had worked for years with the 2.6 kernel so likely some change 
in moving from squeeze to wheezy triggered the errors.

2013-07-04 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.2.6-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Effects usability of package

This error is from the client machne - but I believe the error is caused by the 
server issuing duplicate cookies.
Repeated multiple times  - From syslog:
Jul  4 18:45:17 singapore kernel: [280774.570555] NFS: directory //accounting 
contains a readdir loop.Please contact your server vendor.  The file:

The directory list shows files multiple times

Closing the file makes things look normal.

This machine is set up to share the directory in question via both nfs and 
samba.

Samba settings for this directory:

Bug#714207: ksig - packaging

2013-06-26 Thread Karl Schmidt
I made a debian package out of this to run on wheezy - I have no idea what I'm doing in the process 
- I've made the bits available here:


http://xtronics.com/uploads/ksig-0.0.2013_06-1_amd64.changes
http://xtronics.com/uploads/ksig-0.0.2013_06-1.debian.tar.gz

http://xtronics.com/uploads/ksig-0.0.2013_06.orig.tar.gz

http://xtronics.com/uploads/ksig-0.0.2013_06-1_amd64.deb

This was once a part of a different package - it is a really nice way to rotate tag lines in email 
signatures.

My hunch is this depends on something in unstable - as it is a stable package 
at the very least
there should be breadcrumbs to make it usable - or it shouldn't be part of 
stable.

Stable packages should not waste peoples time installing them.

Bug#685407: Should this get closed?

2013-06-08 Thread Karl Schmidt

I think I remember now - some bread-crumbs for others seeing this

I'm now running linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 3.2.41-2+deb7u2 - no apparent problems

I think it was broken in linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 ?

The workaround is to use the older kernel for now?

Less reasons to use jfs these days - will be migrating to ext4 at some point.

I would be happy to test the fixed kernel when it hits experimental.

Bug#709247: diakonos: enabling 256 color config fails to work

2013-05-21 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: diakonos
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: normal

diakonos comes with a 256 color config found in /etc/diakonos

There is an include in the standard config file that if uncommented enables 
these colors.

To see it fail - enable the config and open a ???.php file.

It appears that the color codes probably support this color table:

The postinst script of dahdi starts the service dahdi, which in turn
loads all kernel modules listed in /etc/dahdi/modules .

Do you have any dahdi modules installed?


I had to download and build the ones from Digium


Do you have any DAHDI hardware?


Yes


Workaround: move that file aside.

I wonder if we should change the default of that file to be generated by
running 'dahdi_genconf modules' in the postinst script.


Should not error out even if people don't have the hardware or drivers - should provide a message 
telling them they need to get the drivers a different way.  (where is the dahdi_genconf script and 
does it build the kernel modules? )



It appeared by the package names that the drivers were installed by debain

But I had to download dahdi-linux-current.tar.gz from digum and build by hand

module-assisant no longer builds these kernel modules - has a broken zaptel entry - see: ( now very 
old bug ) 641857


Some sort of message on install - and one should not get a error code if the package actually 
installs..  Lots of users will need bread-crumbs if they have to build the modules.

Bug#703742: xsane: Error if restarted without deleting ~./sane scansnap S510

2013-03-22 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: xsane
Version: 0.998-4
Severity: important

First tiume run - everything works as it should.

Second time - 
Long delay ( a full min?) - then Errors out with an error dialog: 
"Failed to obtain value of option top-edge:Error during device I/O"

Once this error has occured, stopping the program and restarting will 
no longer show the scansnap on the device dialog despite being shown 
via sane-find-scanner - YET removing ~/.sane 
won't return the scanner - I have to power-cycle the scanner
 (I think this is a secondary problem? Or is this a problem 
with correctly closing the usb? ) 

Restarting the scanner has no effect.

Deleting the ~./sanve directory - restarting the scanner corrects the problem.

This failed in stable - wheezey and now unstable.

The first time it is run after removing the .sane directory everythting works 
fine.


The secondary error of not finding the device may be related to this bug:

https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314107&group_id=30186&atid=410366

I've recreated this error on a second scanner. 

I could find no way to get firmware information via sane-util ?

I can LEND a scanner if needed to fix this bug. I would pay shipping both ways. 


This is where is hangs and errors:

Bug#703005: kscreensaver: Long delay to exit screensaver - 'slide show'

2013-03-13 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: kscreensaver
Version: 4:4.8.4-5
Severity: normal

This is on a system with a double headed display.  

After entering the password the transition in progress continues for several 
seconds 
before returning the screen to user control. It is not reproducable with the 
'test button'
on the setup panel - only with using the password. 

My hunch is the transition routines don't want to be interrupted?

2012/12/6 Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta:

As far as I know, openvpn does not create that log file, unless you told
it to. In that case, it's not a bug in the package...


That's my experience too. By default 'openvpn' will log to
/var/log/syslog which is handled automatically. If you've set a custom
log file then you must manually add a logrotate entry. I'm not sure
but on restart the log file could also be truncated if you use --log
instead of --log-append.

Cheers


Apparently, this is the case - I apparently set this up for debugging and forgot about it long 
enough to get 45GB.


 IMO it probably should be set up to log out-of-the-box as well, but I bet that won't happen either 
- most people are going to have to turn logging on at some point to debug and it really belongs in 
it's own log file..

again - what information should I look to preserve that might be of help?

Bug#622988: amarok: The audio playback device Jack Audio Connection Kit does not work

2012-04-14 Thread Karl Schmidt

I'm seeing this as Phonon: KDE's Multimedia Library

The audio playback device Jack Audio Connection Kit does not work.

In /home/user/.xsession-errors I see


Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server socket
exec of JACK server (command = "/usr/bin/jackd") failed: No such file or 
directory

I installed jackd which gave me other errors in .xsession-errors

So I ended up uninstalling jackd and in kde Systemsetings/computer_Administration/Multimedia and 
defered the "jack Audio connection kit"


Not sure who owns this - but some dependency, sane default setup etc would cure 
the problem

Looks like the problem starts with libjack-jackd2-0 which I have as a 
dependency from mplayer...

Bug#581607: Possible solution, aling can be the problem.. patch..

2012-04-09 Thread Karl Schmidt
I don't have a free drive to test with right now .. I worked around the problem by setting Debian up 
to boot on a pair of mirrored 80GB SSD and creating /home on a pair of raid1 3TB drives formatted 
via gparted using EFI/GPT.


This was using Debian stable -  in the mean time 4TB drives have appeared on the market. I suppose 
it will be addressed in the next release.

Bug#602002: icedove processes do not terminate after quitting program

2012-01-29 Thread Karl Schmidt

I've caught icedove doing the same thing on a 32 bit machine.

htop showed the thread at 98% CPU - might be due to large folders?

Had to issue a kill pid to calm things down.

I got it to work by commenting out both lines - probably breaks something else 
at the same time...

I don't have time - but the output of a diff of the stable vs testing (or sid) version of this file 
would probably point ot the answer...

Bug#642179: debian-installer: Installs on drives larger than 2.19TB fails with older bios

2011-09-22 Thread Karl Schmidt

This is failing with the current squeeze installer that uses grub2.

What I don't know is if this is possibly a BIOS issue - my understanding is that Debian takes over 
and uses its own driver.


This is on a Tyan S7002 which uses:

# lspci |grep SATA
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI 
Controller

for the SATA controller.

I'm attempting a workaround - I'm installing the main system on a 40GB raided pair of SSD and will 
have /homes on large (> 2.18TB ) drives. I will partition the large drives with gparted and use GPT.

Bug#581607: fdisk does not see the partitions of 2.0 tera

2011-09-19 Thread Karl Schmidt
I've also come across this problem. I'm not clear if it is a bug in fdisk/sfdisk or the result of an 
older BIOS.


I was able to move an install to a larger disk - grow the partition, but on a kernel update it would 
no longer boot.


This might have to do with the 2.19TB limitation of MBR - which means a move to GUID Partition Table 
(GPT) and possibly the need for a BIOS's that supports GUID. (See: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table )


In the mean time Debian installer fails to give any warning about larger drives and fdisk/sfdisk 
also fail to warn.



The current kernels support GPT, but it is less than clear how older bios interact. It might be that 
just the boot disk needs to be smaller than 2.19TB and that storage disks formatted with GPT will 
work fine on machines with BIOS's that don't support GPT? It is also possible that 
fdisk/cfdisk/sfdisk are failing without warning if one tries to use these large drives.


gparted supports EFI/GPT.

I have more questions than answers - in the mean time I am hoping that someone with a better 
understanding of using large drives with Debian (with both new and older BIOS's) would write this up 
as there are now 3TB drives on the market and installs and updates fail without clear indication as 
of why.

Install attempts on a Tyan S7002 failed with a drive larger than 2.19TB (would 
fail at the grub installation)

I was able to move an install to a 1TB drive then move to a larger disk - grow 
the partition, but on a kernel update it would no longer boot.

This might have to do with the 2.19TB limitation of MBR - which means a move to 
GUID Partition Table (GPT) and possibly the need for 
a BIOS's that supports GUID. (See: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table )

In the mean time Debian installer fails to give any warning about larger drives 
and fdisk/sfdisk also fail to warn.


The current kernels support GPT, but it is less than clear how older bios 
interact. It might be that just the boot disk 
needs to be smaller than 2.19TB and that storage disks formatted with GPT will 
work fine on machines with BIOS's that don't support GPT? 
It is also possible that fdisk/cfdisk/sfdisk are failing without warning if one 
tries to use these large drives.

gparted supports EFI/GPT.

I'm thinking that D-i needs to detect the large drive size, possible the 
ability of the bios to work with this drive size and give a warning.

There might be problems supporting 2TB drives with the partioner in D-I that is 
independent to the BIOS. Sadly I have more questions than 
answers and hope someone with a better understanding of this issue writes it up.

Bug#634243: RFP: gptfdisk -- GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)/GPT partitioning tools

2011-07-17 Thread Karl Schmidt
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: gptfdisk
  Version : 0.7.2
  Upstream Author : Rod Smith 
* URL : http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang:  C++
  Description : GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)/GPT partitioning tools

GPT fdisk (consisting of the gdisk, sgdisk, and fixparts programs) is a set of 
text-mode partitioning tools for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows. The 
gdisk 
and sgdisk programs work on Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition Table 
(GPT) 
disks, rather than on the more common (through 2011) Master Boot Record (MBR) 
partition tables. The fixparts program repairs certain types of damage to MBR 
disks and enables changing partition types from primary to logical and 
vice-versa.
