Bug#1003398: After distribution upgrade many mails are "tainted" and not delivered

2022-01-09 Thread Karsten Malcher

Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.94.2-7
Severity: important


Hello Maintainer,

after upgrading the server from Debian 9 to 11 there is a problem with (actual) 
no solution.
Here is an example from the paniclog:

2022-01-06 14:13:56 1n4NwM-00ASE5-Py == sys...@example.com R=mysql_user 
T=local_mysql_delivery defer (-1): Tainted '/srv/ma
il/example.com/system/' (file or directory name for local_mysql_delivery 
transport) not permitted
2022-01-06 14:13:56 1n3cy0-008N8T-By == karsten@example-com R=mysql_user 
T=local_mysql_delivery defer (-1): Tainted '/srv/m
ail/example.com/karsten/' (file or directory name for local_mysql_delivery 
transport) not permitted


The mainlog is full of messages like this for every local delivery:
2022-01-09 14:53:39 1n5pDL-000Z0k-OR == sys...@example.com R=mysql_user 
T=local_mysql_delivery defer (-1): Tainted '/srv/ma
il/example.com/system/' (file or directory name for local_mysql_delivery 
transport) not permitted



The research of this error message leads to a big discussion without an 
solution here:

https://www.mail-archive.com/exim-users@exim.org/msg54866.html (another example)

This seems to be introduced in exim V 4.94:
https://www.mail-archive.com/exim-users@exim.org/msg54868.html

The documentation is not understandable:
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_appendfile_transport.html#SECTfildiropt



What must be done to get the mails de-tainted?
When there is no simple understandable solution an server version < 4.94 must 
be used.



The config for this part is this:

local_mysql_delivery:
  driver = appendfile
  directory = /srv/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/
  maildir_format
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  user = Debian-exim
  group = mail
  mode = 0660



Thank you for any hint to solve the problem.

Best regards
karsten

Yes - thanks.
But a package that does not work and is useless can be purged.

There seems no solution in sight.

When there is only one user that can be automatically logged in the nodm 
display manager can solve the problem.

Use:
agt-get purge lightdm
apget install nodm

Bug#928509: Firefox extensions can be used again

2019-05-07 Thread Karsten Malcher
I upgraded the Firefox packages for Debian 8 (Jessie) and Debian 9 (Stretch) now
and in both Releases Firefox can use the extensions again.

Thanks for your great work!

Besides - Debian 8 is used for desktop use, because it is running with less 
problems.

I don't know what is tested there - but all i can test is

$ openssl s_client -connect chat.josefsson.org:5222 -starttls xmpp
CONNECTED(0003)

There is no TLS connection established!


But when i test the same to my prosody server i get

So at least you use

That's what i already tested.

I have written all this information in the linked bug reports.
There is nothing more that could be find out.
The developer doesn't support help or more information.

Sorry.
It's just a warning to users who want's to have a secure XMPP server.

Please tell me the secret howto get a working encryption with jabberd2 ?
Maybe you are using an older version ?

I couldn't master it including let's encrypt.
Here you can read about my experiments to get it working.
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/understanding-certification/25952

As client i only tried it with pidgin and psi.
Both clients couldn't connect in a secure way with jabberd2.
But now with prosody it is no problem.

Bug#851997: Secure alternative server

2017-02-01 Thread Karsten Malcher
For the users who are searching for an alternative secure XMPP server:

I have installed prosody now as debian package.
https://prosody.im/

The configuration is well documented and very easy in comparison to jabberd.
I can use a self-signed certificate or let's encrypt without problem.

All the communication and file transfer is encrypted with 
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384.
I have verified this in an wireshark session.

It's simply perfect.



Bug#851997: No TLS encryption possible

Package: jabberd2

Justification: user security hole
Severity: grave
Tags: security


I am sorry to report this, but the users of jabberd2 should now that there is 
no encryption possible with this package.
An configuration with encryption settings is ignored and an unencrypted 
connection is opened without warnings.
I could verify this in an wireshark session.

Wasting many time to get it running with a working TLS i had to give up.
There is no interest from the developer to solve the problem.

Bug#845094: Storing the settings is not working correct

2016-11-20 Thread Karsten Malcher
Package: gqrx-sdr
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: important

I have the problem that the storing of the settings ist not working correct.
It seems that the last opened settings are always overwritten again.
The settings are changing when storing them.
This is really annoying.

I really does not understand why this bug occurs, because it should be fixed in 
version 2.3.

"Gqrx 2.3.0 released" http://gqrx.dk/category/news
"Properly store settings when using Save As function."

There are more functions in the actual 2.6 version.
It would be a good idea to update.

Thanks.

Hello Racke,

i reported definitely a security hole, because i could determine a hacker 
intrusion over this FTP server.
After the FTP was disabled completely there was no security problem again.

This FTP-server is used as standard FTP server in ISPConfig 3.
I never had any problems like this with ProFTPD.

So my security advice for every user is to use another FTP server
or only activate Pure-FTPd for the use within a session.

Regards

Bug#830723: When X server start fails it ends up in an endless loop

2016-07-10 Thread Karsten Malcher
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+7
Severity: important

Hello,

for more than one time i have the problem that when the X server fails to start 
it ends up in an loop to try to start!
When you have a damaged vga card and change it you never get a simple console 
again.
Sometimes the system doesn't react any more because it is somehow locked by the 
X server.

Why this loop?

In the past the X server tried to start and when it fails it prompted the error 
and you land on the console.
Now the system behaviour is like in windows where the system get's unusable 
without an graphical frontend!

Cheers
Karsten

2016-07-10 Thread Karsten Malcher
Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 340.96-1
Severity: normal


Hello,

i changed the card from ATI to NVIDIA after the ATI card died.
After that i uninstalled all ATI stuff.
Then i reinstalled the xserver and the nvidia-driver.
It says it was compiling the nvidia driver and did report no error.

But it is not working - there is no driver!

Why graphics is such a pain in original Debian?
When i boot Knoppix i always have a running X!

Cheers
Karsten

Bug#827650: system crashes using HDMI

2016-06-20 Thread Karsten Malcher
I agree that the real problem have to be searched not in this library.
Maybe there is a problem in the driver.

The crashing of the system maybe a defect of the hardware of the vga card.
After i changed the card the system is running stable.

Thanks.

There is a monitor (vga port) and a beamer connected (HDMI) to it - both using 
full HD resolution.

When i use the monitor the system is running stable without problems.
But when the beamer on the HDMI port is active, the system is crashing after a 
while!
This can end up in a reboot loop!
Everytime the system activates the graphic mode it crashes again.
Disconnecting the HDMI the system can boot normal.

I only found this error messages in the syslog:

was not found when attempting to remove it
console-kit-daemon[1810]: GLib-CRITICAL: Source ID 44 was not found when

I will try to make a copy of the running system to another parition and upgrade 
it to testing.

Bug#823403: Getting the STM32F10x standard peripheral library

2016-05-05 Thread Karsten Malcher
I think i understand the problem.
The standard library is published under the LIBERTY V2 - Software license 
agreement.

So you must download and install the library for your own.
You can do that at
http://www2.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcus-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32-standard-peripheral-libraries/stsw-stm32054.html
or
you go to http://www2.st.com and search for STSW-STM32054.

As registered user (email) you can download the library (21.1 MB).

The USB-library (5.4 MB) can be found with STSW-STM32121 or here
http://www2.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcus-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32-standard-peripheral-libraries-expansions/stsw-stm32121.html


The next problem is howto install and use the libraries ?

All standard search path can be shown with
$ arm-none-eabi-gcc -print-search-dirs | grep libraries | sed 's/:/\n/g'
results in:
libraries
 =/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.8/
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.8/../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/arm-none-eabi/4.8/
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.8/../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/

When i copy the complete structure of STM32F10x_StdPeriph_Driver to one of the 
above paths containing header files it
does not work.
Some help would be usefull to get it working.
Is there any way to get the compiler working without any IDE like Eclipse?

Regards
Karsten

Hello,

i want to do some programming with ARM STM32F103 microcontroller.
So i installed gcc-arm-none-eabi.

But when i try to compile something i get
"fatal error: stm32f10x_conf.h: No such file or directory"

So all the header files are missing! :-(
I don't know if the path is not set correctly, but i can't find the files 
anywhere.
I only found this header that only include "bigger" cpu's.

How can i solve this problem?

The avr-gcc package can be used for compiling immediately, why not this package?

Maybe you can refer to this bug too:

Bug#813105: nouveau driver freezing the system intermittently

2016-01-29 Thread Karsten Malcher
Package: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u2
Severity: normal

There is a problem with old graphic cards now, because the driver NVidida 
96.43.23 is not maintained any more.
I know - you will say: "Why you are using such an old graphic card?" :-)
The problem is that the system fits the needs and you must throw away 
everything when you want to upgrade.
I could not find any other AGP card with a driver that is maintained.


The system works - but freezes intermittently and after waiting about one 
minute it will come back again.
In the freeze time you can login remote over ssh and you see that the system is 
alive and not busy.
So the nouveau driver is definitely blocking the complete X-server and desktop.
I attach some additional logs i found in other logfiles.

Bug#805352: avrdude 6.2 released

2015-11-17 Thread Karsten Malcher
Package: avrdude
Version: 6.1-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

yesterday a new release of avrdude was released by Joerg Wunsch.
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/avrdude-6.2.tar.gz

With this release some important bugs has been fixed.
It would be excellent to make an update and a new package for it.

When you have not the time - how can i make a package for it?
Maybe it can be released at the download page of avrdude instead.

Regards
Karsten

Bug#799207: Kate C++ Helper Plugin

2015-09-16 Thread Karsten Malcher
Package: kate
Version: 4:4.14.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

i want to suggest to add this really nice plugin to the kate package.
With this plugin you have extended functionality in developing C++ programs,
you only find in big development environments.

Just have a look at the description and screenshots on the homepage:
http://zaufi.github.io/kate-cpp-helper-plugin.html

You can find the KDE homepage here:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=148606

Up to now there was the problem to get this plugin compiled.
But today i get support from the author and it is working now in Debian 8.2 
(jessie).
The complete discussion can be found here:
https://github.com/zaufi/kate-cpp-helper-plugin/issues/24


Here a short description how to compile it successfull.

Install the following packages:

kdelibs5-dev
libclang-3.5-dev
libclang-common-3.5-dev
libclang1-3.5
xapian
libxapian22
libxapian-dev
libboost-all-dev
clang-3.5

(I can't say if all of them are needed)


Then you download and compile the sources with this commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/zaufi/kate-cpp-helper-plugin.git
$ cd kate-cpp-helper-plugin
$ git fetch
$ git checkout issue-23
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install


Currently i have not tested to install the files in the Debian directories i 
found in
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kate/plugins/

Karsten

Package: cups-driver-gutenprint

Hello,

after upgrading my system i run into the problem that i could not print anymore.

But i could find a solution for the problem here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102892

Running /usr/sbin/cups-genppdupdate solved the problem.
This should be added to the installation script of the package.

This file does not exist.
They used a different configuration.
I attached the complete tared directory.
Of course the password is modified again.

I would say PAM and MySQL authentification is used.

At least there is only 1 configuration file with content.

Bug#774283: Solution for other users

Here is an idea for other users who encounter the problem:

When you are booting with grub you can manually edit the boot options in grub.
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/gfxpayload.html

Add "text" at the end of the kernel parameters to boot in a text console so 
that the X system will not be started.
Then you can download and install the ATI driver in text mode.

Bug#774283: Problem identified and solved

2014-12-31 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hello together,

i did not install the backup and found the problem now.
The ATI driver from March 2014 did not fit together with the updated X-Server 
package.

I downloaded and installed the newest Catalyst driver from here and X is 
running now again:
http://support.amd.com/de-de/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86
Version Omega (14.12) from 09.12.2014.

So this bug can be closed now.

But you should think about an solution for the problem, because after the upgrade you did not have the chance to see 
anything, because the graphic card was dead.
When you have not another PC, network and a running SSH-Server on the system, you can't do anything to get it working 
again. This is really fatal!


From my experience in the last year it is getting more and more difficult to get an working desktop system with running 
X and sound with Debian.

There are problems with ATI and NVidia, such as 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=767678

Is there really no chance to get this problems covered?
A failsafe system that has the possibilty to have X with a standard VGA 
resolution would be a milestone for Debian.

I wish you a happy new year!
Karsten

Bug#774283: Failed to start X after system upgrade

2014-12-31 Thread Karsten Malcher

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u5
Severity: important

Hello,

i simply made an system update yesterday and after restart X does not start 
anymore!
The system is in usage so i have to wipe it and install an backup from the 
beginning of the month where everything was fine.

I suppose the XServer is broken, because the Xorg.0.log stops without an error 
message.
The main system is running and i can connect to it via SSH.
But the screen is only black and also a TTY1 cannot be accessed locally!
If this problem does not belong to the XServer, please move it to the correct 
package.
Thanks.

Here the packages that where updated.

Your attached reportbug logs show:

3.13.10-1~bpo70+1 (2014-04-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux

i.e. your running kernel was 3.13 when you hit this bug.


O.K. This opens my eyes.
Installing the kernel update did an update of the grub configuration.
So the newer kernel was booted instead of the standard kernel and i did not 
realize it.
Easy and embarrassing.

I think it will work doing this right - I will test it.

Do you think the problems with newer kernels will be solved?
Maybe it is helpfull that i bug this against NVidia?

Thank you.

Why?

Because you're attempting to use a backported kernel, and it's a known
bug that linux >= 3.13 (i.e. wheezy-backports) doesn't work with the
nvidia packages in wheezy/wheezy-backports (see #754108, #749703).


I will have a look at this bugs. Thanks.

Bug#767678: nvidia-glx: xserver fails to start after last package upgrade

2014-11-01 Thread Karsten Malcher

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 304.117-1
Severity: important

Hello,

i simply made an package upgrade and the start of X fails now. :-(

This will be somehow a continuation of this bug 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735424

After this i also tried to purge all nvidia* packages and to reinstall only 
nvidia-glx.
But it does not help - X is dead!
See the attached upgrade bugreport.

I am very frustrated now, because Debian becomes unusable for me after many 
lucky years with it.
But a working PC without X is not usable at all!
After the upgrade i was thrown back into the stone age.
The nouveau driver seems not to be able to drive big screen resolutions of 1920 
X 1080 and the picture is bad.
So this also makes no sense.

In the other bugs you can see that it is not possible to make a new installation with testing, because i have no working 
X in another way.

Now i can't make an upgrade of my last working system any more. :-(

I was careful and made an backup before the upgrade.
This i could extract to have a working PC again now.

Is there really no hope for Debian and NVidia any more?

Cheers
Karsten

Bug#749264: No nvidia-driver working

2014-09-21 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hello Vincent,

thank you for your explanations!

I suggest to add them to the Debian Wiki, because this system is not explained 
there.
Shall i try to add it?

When you google for specific problems you will find to much wrong hints.
But here you see how many people have problems with this theme. ;-)

Am 21.09.2014 11:44, schrieb Vincent Cheng:

It's no surprise that X won't load, given that you're trying to use
the nvidia 304.xx driver series with hardware that doesn't support it.


O.K. - but why the 304.117 driver is installed when i install dkms?
It would be better that there is a dependency that announces a conflict when
i want to have a 173xx driver.

Assuming you're just an uninformed user with no idea what dkms is and
just want a working X server + nvidia driver...why would you care to
install nvidia-kernel-dkms? All you would reasonably be expected to do
is to run nvidia-detect and install whatever package it told you to
install. Or if you were a new user with no knowledge of nvidia-detect,
you would instead google for "nvidia debian" or similar, hit this wiki
page [1] as your first search result, and then proceed to install the
correct package.


I assumed i need the dkms package to automatically recompile the display driver.
Now i understand the differences.


As i have written nouveau failed because it does not support this hardware.
But the nouveau driver from Knoppix is doing it.

Probably because Knoppix is using a newer kernel?


I think so (should be /kernel/ 3.0.4) - but this is not a big difference.
It is crazy that you need a newer kernel to support older hardware?
As i said - there are to much much dependencies that are not understandable.




Experiments with new kernels in an stable working environment is causing
more problems than solving it.
Then you have X but you loose sound or some interface hardware ...

File bug reports against the kernel for specific issues. Also, you
seem to have no issues using Knoppix (which AFAIK packages newer
kernels than what is typically found in Debian stable...).


Yes - but AFAIK there are no AMD64 versions of it.
Debian has the best support for so many different CPU's.
That's one of many reasons to use it.
It is the base for so many other distributions.
So it would be wonderful if the X-problems could be minimized at the base.

Best regards
Karsten

# aptitude install nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx nvidia-kernel-dkms

No, just install nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx (as suggested by
nvidia-detect); its dependencies will ensure that you have a working
nvidia 173.xx driver installed. Installing nvidia-kernel-dkms on
wheezy will actually pull in the default 304.xx driver series, which
is obviously not what you want. If you take a look at the log file you
attached in your followup message...

[42.428] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module  304.117  Tue Nov 26 21:45:09 PST 2013

[42.445] (WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 GPU installed
in this system is
[42.445] (WW) NVIDIA(0): supported through the NVIDIA
173.14.xx Legacy drivers.
[42.445] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Please visit
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for
[42.445] (WW) NVIDIA(0): more information.  The 304.117 NVIDIA
driver will ignore
[42.445] (WW) NVIDIA(0): this GPU.  Continuing probe...
[42.445] (EE) No devices detected.

It's no surprise that X won't load, given that you're trying to use
the nvidia 304.xx driver series with hardware that doesn't support it.


O.K. - but why the 304.117 driver is installed when i install dkms?
It would be better that there is a dependency that announces a conflict when i 
want to have a 173xx driver.

That's what i am meaning - it is really hard to keep an overview what you must 
install and what dependencies exist.

nouveau should work, yes; if it doesn't, please file a bug against the kernel. Have you tried fetching a kernel from 
wheezy-backports and seeing if you can run nouveau using a newer kernel? Regards, Vincent 


As i have written nouveau failed because it does not support this hardware.
But the nouveau driver from Knoppix is doing it.

Experiments with new kernels in an stable working environment is causing more 
problems than solving it.
Then you have X but you loose sound or some interface hardware ...

Best regards
Karsten

Bug#762271: This driver is not usable for the FX5200

2014-09-20 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hello,

i am sorry to say this and you will damn me for my bug report - but - the 
original driver from NVidia works!
So this package is not usable.

For other users with the same problem:
Purge all nvidia packages from Debian and install the original driver.
Let it generate a xorg.conf.

Then you have a running X system. :-)

Cheers
Karsten

Bug#749264: No nvidia-driver working

2014-09-20 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hello Vincent,

maybe i always find the combination of hardware that is not running?
For this PC the FX5200 is directly connected with DVI to the monitor.

I tried to get a running X with the nouveau driver - but it does not work!
For me it seems that a FX5200 is simply not supported:
[  1362.592] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families :
[  1362.592]RIVA TNT(NV04)

[  1362.592]GeForce 2   (NV11, NV15)
[  1362.592]GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18)
[  1362.592]GeForce 3   (NV20)

[  1362.593]GeForce GTX 400 (NVC0)
[  1362.593] (--) using VT number 7
[  1362.921] (EE) [drm] failed to open device
[  1362.921] (EE) No devices detected.


So i booted Knoppix 6.7 and it works directly perfect!?
What is the secret of Knoppix using Debian as underlaying distribution?
I attached the log and xorg.conf from Knoppix.

When i tried the Knoppix xorg.conf in Wheezy the screen cannot be found.

The last thing i can try is to install the original driver from NVidia ...
(Or simply use Knoppix).
But before i will open a new bug against the legacy driver.

Cheers
Karsten

Bug#749264: No nvidia-driver working

2014-09-20 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hello Vincent,

i didn't get your email from Sat, 9 Aug 2014 or from the debian bug system.
So i see it today in the bug system.



Ok, I think the discussion has derailed quite a bit from the original
bug report...


Yes - sorry - but the problem is still alive.


Karsten, I can sympathize with you, but to address your concern that
the packages are "broken" and that we should be doing better, I'd say
that the current nvidia packages in Debian are doing the utmost
possible to make installing of the proprietary nvidia drivers as
painless as possible (much of it thanks to Andreas, of course). Let me
explain what we already have:
...


I really see this and your work is great!

But i only report here what i experience in the reality with my PC's.
I don't think that this is an extraordinary hardware.

One additional example from today:

On a PC the NVidia VGA card died and i have to replace it.
It is older hardware and i have a replacement that i simply installed.

Now i installed the packages nvidia-detect and nvidia-xconfig.

# nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 
5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1)
Your card is only supported up to the 173.14 legacy drivers series.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx
package.

So i installed
# aptitude install nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx nvidia-kernel-dkms

After renaming the xorg.conf and reboot i land on the console!
The error is "no screens found".

I started nvidia-xconfig and a new xorg.conf has been generated.
It shows:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName  "Unknown"
HorizSync   28.0 - 33.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor"Monitor0"
DefaultDepth24
SubSection "Display"
Depth   24
EndSubSection
EndSection

Reboot - but nothing - the error "no screens found" still remains!

So again i don't know what to do?
What i am doing - it does not work!


Given the constraints (i.e. the fact that the proprietary nvidia
drivers are non-free, can't be installed by default, and how X is
configured), I honestly don't know how/where you expect Debian to do
better.


For a usable system with X there should be always a running fallback like in 
windows.
It should be nouveau for NVidia.

I don't know exactly what Knoppix is doing, but here you get a running X in 
nearly all cases!?
Why this is not possible in Debian?


The packages work (at least, for me, and likely for many other
users, given the high popcon count and relatively low number of bugs),
and we (as in the pkg-nvidia team...well, mostly Andreas) have done
our best to make the entire process as painless as possible. I mean,
sure, there could be a bug somewhere that's caused by the packages,
but I'm not seeing it.


I believe this, but for me i always live in pain to get a running X.
This i experienced on many different systems in many years.
I am feeling it is running more and more worse than better.
(Maybe because there is more and more different hardware out there.)
But the future cannot be to boot Debian and have just a console with "have a lot of 
fun" like in the beginning of Linux.
Then you must invest days to get a running X ...

Best regards
Karsten

Bug#749264: No nvidia-driver working

2014-08-08 Thread Karsten Malcher

Well, blame nVidia for their shitty driver, but please don't blame
us Debian people. The proprietary driver is really difficult to
handle owed to the fact that most parts are closed source and
only a small fraction of it, the kernel module glue or shim code,
is open source.


I don't want to blame you or other Debian people!
It only think it would be very helpful when a package will cause a running X 
after installation when it exists.
This is one of the (only) things that is working better in the installation of 
Kubuntu.
Really good was and is the detection in Knoppix - why this is not possible in 
Debian?



We can't really fix things which are binary-only. The proprietary
driver is really a bitch to maintain and you should be aware
that for most Debian Developers, the maintainer job is something
they do in their free time and they're not getting paid for it.


I know - and the time for testing and reporting bugs is not payed either.
But we do it because we believe it is senseful (or at least i do it).



As for that matter, I am using the free nouveau driver and I never
run into any upgrade issues. So, you can either use the free driver
or don't use an nVidia card on Linux at all. As I said, you are
barking up the wrong tree.


Really?
It's nearly impossible to buy graphic cards with no 3D functionality now.
So it is a great pity only to use it as tea warmer.
For me it is really amazing and useful to use some of the opengl effects that 
are possible.
And there are more and more game developer, who are going to use free 3D engines to make it possible to avoid Windows 
(see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Spiel-Engines).





(And often you loose the ability for sound and other multimedia too).

How is that related to the nVidia driver?


Why i set it in brackets? :-)




This can happen also after an simple upgrade in the same distribution
version.
I have installed Linux (Kubuntu and Debian) on the PC's of two normal
users.
First they where very happy to get rid of the world of windows terror.
But now both where back to windows because it is unacceptable to get an
unusable PC after an simple upgrade!

Well, my mom has been rocking Ubuntu on her Asus eeePC for quite
a while now and she never complained.


Yes - it's the same with a friend of mine.
But he also does not really use Multimedia features.




In jessie im am feeling the same way, because nothing seems to work.
No X, chaotic kernel versions and everything seems to loose in chaos.

Well, Jessie is a *testing* distribution and therefore unreleased. You
shouldn't actually be using it unless you know what you are doing. If
you want something *stable*, you should actually use Debian stable
and not testing.


I use stable and i am happy!
But you are correct - maybe i expect to much here.
In the history it was no problem to wait about half of a year after one Debian 
was stable and then move to Testing again.
This time it seems to need much more time to get in Beta state ...



I mean, you are not using beta versions of MacOS X or Windows either,
are you?


I always use what is running stable or nearly stable.
But after a time i am curious for the testing version or need newer versions of 
some applications.
At least this is testing on another partition and helping to find bugs.




Maybe wheezy is the last usable Debian version you can really work with.

That's probably related to the fact that Debian Wheezy *is* actually
a current stable release.


Yes - i will not complain about bugs in testing any more. :-)




I hope you will understand what i want to say?

Well, you are complaining about beta software breaking your system
if I am getting this right.


No - i am complaining that it is still a pain to get a running X-system after 
so much years of Linux.
Before wheezy i never could get X running without installation of the original 
NVidia drivers.
Now it seems to be impossible to get it running - what a progress?
In the history i always was damned too from Debian people to use the NVidia 
driver instead of the packages.
But what shall i do?




But i am talking about the reasons why Linux have no chance to get an
accepted OS to work with.

Look, I don't actually care what people consider an accepted OS. Where
I work, we deploy Debian Wheezy on over 150 desktops and since we are
running a stable version, we are hardly having any issues. In fact, we
usually have less issues than with the Windows 7 machines that we
deploy as well.


That's really interesting and a good reference to use Linux as desktop system.
But you or a service team look for the problems and not the user itself - 
correct?

It would be wonderful if there could be always a running fallback for X

There where so many changes in the X system an the drivers and as i
know it normally runs without any xorg.conf now.

Yes, and the automatic detection defaults to the open source nouveau
drivers which are shipped with X.Org which fail to load because you
also loaded the proprietary nvidia kernel module.

You explitcitly have to tell X.Org to use the proprietary nvidia
driver, that's all you need in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "nVidia proprietary driver"
 Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

That's already enough to get X up and running with the proprietary
drivers. The rest can be configured using xrandr.


I tried it but it does not work.
Please remember that i set up a new clean installation.

When nouveau is really the intended standard, then we need no modern PC's with 
3D graphic cards any more.
In wheezy it is working with all graphic power!



Can I assume the bug report to be invalid and close it?


You can assume that this package is not usable - sorry.
The only chance maybe is to use the original drivers from NVidia.

But the really thing that is needed is that you install Debian and you can run 
X afterwards without problems.

Karsten

Well, for me “handle multiple sound cards” doesn't mean really anything.
Xfce doesn't “handle” sound cards (the kernel does, somehow).

Yes - of course - but you know what i mean.

No, see above.


Really - Debian seems to be a distribution that is intended for server use 
only. ;-)


If you want to tune the volume, then xfce4-mixer can do that, and
xfce4-volumed does it too.

Controlling the volume of the different sources is really the minimum.
But there are different reasons to select a sound device.
1. You use XFCE as desktop on a laptop and you want to switch to an external 
device e.g. HDMI

There's no such thing as “switch”. Either the EC or kernel handle that
by itself (for example when plugging a headphone), or you do that
completely manually (you mute the volume on one output and unmute on the
other).


Yes - but this only works when it is the same output device.



As said above there's no “handling” of sound card in Xfce, it doesn't
try to be smart or anything.


Maybe - but there could be an additional point of view:
The use of the existant hardware has nothing to do with the smartness of the 
X-system.
When the hardware can only be controlled direct in the underlaying Linux the 
use XFCE can be doubtful.




2. You use an additional sound card as simple DA-converter for different 
purposes.

Definitely out of scope.


Really?
http://grade2linux.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/xfce-with-multiple-sound-cards/

In Debian I have only the attached volume control.
It seems that the volume control in the article is the pavucontrol.
So using Pulseaudio seems to be the only way to control different sound devices 
in XFCE.
I will not test it in XFCE but i can say it works in KDE.

Here is another helpful link:
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7216


Please check the screenshot i posted first.
The 'active-card' property is missing in the Debian configuration!
How can i add it (correct) ?

In xfce4-settings-editor, click “new”?



O.K. i missed to enter a beginning "/" for the property.

Thank you for your support!

Bug#752901: Multiple sound cards in XFCE

2014-06-28 Thread Karsten Malcher

I will close the bug now - it seems to be more a (missing) feature than a bug.

What i mean is the following:

1. When you search for the problem you will find this link:
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7121
You will be directed to link i posted first.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-volumed/+bug/885956/comments/9
But this is not helpfull, because the entries are missing in Debian?

2. You find alternative description like this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1941411
Here the solution is to use pavucontrol.
But pavucontrol is to control the settings of Pulseaudio.
I installed it but of course it does not help because Pulseaudio is not 
installed.
There are enough problems with Pulseaudio itself, so it is a good idea to avoid 
the installation of it.


The final question is how to handle multiple sound cards in Debian with XFCE?

Bug#752901: Possible solution

2014-06-27 Thread Karsten Malcher

I could solve the problem now in ALSA.

I generated a file /etc/asound.conf with this content:

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}

Now the correct sound card is the standard device and the sound is working.

But why it is not possible to select the sound card in XFCE so that it is 
working?
What you have to do to use multiple sound devices?

Hello Guillem,

i think it's better to close this bug.
I will send the closing mail now.

Fact is that there where several problems with an upgrade from wheezy to jessie.
As there are much new packages now in jessie i can't say if this problem still 
exists.

Thanks for your reply and investigation.

Bug#749264: No nvidia-driver working

2014-05-26 Thread Karsten Malcher

I tried to follow the Documentation now:

Why it is not possible to ask the user in the configuration script of the package if it 
should start "Xorg -configure" ?

Nevertheless it does not work.

The X system is to complex to know what to do as "normal user".

Bug#735424: nvidia-driver

2014-02-06 Thread Karsten Malcher

Sorry for the delay!

I didn't see to much sense in rolling back the original driver, so i made a new 
system upgrade.
Booting another system i copied my actual system again to the partition.
Then i boot it and made the system upgrade with interesting results:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737784

Of course X is not running again.
I attached the test you requested.

Hello,

i tried to upgrade from wheezy to jessie with the following steps:

O.K. - but what is the difference?

As "user" i expect to get the correct headers for the kernel
linux-image-3.12-1-amd64 when i install 'linux-headers-3.12-1-amd64'

That is correct.
But you have the package 'linux-image-amd64' installed (and that's a good
thing), so when a new kernel enters testing, it will be installed on your
system and then you won't have the corresponding headers package on your
system.


No - i only installed the package linux-headers-3.12-1-amd64.

The package linux-image-amd64 was installed automatically!



First i have to install the original nvidia driver now.

If you mean the 'nvidia-driver' package from Debian, then yes, do that.
And report back with the requested information.


Sorry - misstyping - i mean UNinstall the origianl nvidia driver.




Do you think it is a good idea to start with a clean new copy of wheezy now
and upgrade it to jessie? I think everything is really mixed up now.

Not now. Let's try to find (and fix) your issue now, otherwise you may end up in
the same situation again.


Yes - i assume this will be the same.
But there is an system upgrade and the installation of the original nvidia 
package between?
What's about the backup of the system before the installation of the original 
nvidia driver?



But it wouldn't hurt to start *preparing* for a complete new install and
migrating your users files/settings/etc.



Of course - but for 3 users this is really much trouble.
And i must compare to have the same packages installed.
I did this one time and it takes some days work.
There should be a way to upgrade a system ...

Reinstall the linux-headers-amd64 package.

As i have written i purged all header packages and reinstalled this package.

You've installed 'linux-headers-3.12-1-amd64' package, not 'linux-headers-
amd64'.
This won't solve your current issue, but it will make sure that when a new
kernel lands in testing (which will happen), the appropriate linux-headers
package will also be installed.

The package names seem to be chaotical now.




Can you run the following command and attach the resulting file
(bug735424-packages.txt) to your reply?

I rebooted and you will find the file attached.

I'm missing a whole bunch of nvidia packages ...
Locating the problem becomes much harder if you keep using NVidia's .run file,
so please stop doing that.


Yes - i only tested the original nvidia installer as comparison to the 
environment with the self compiled kernel.



Post the output of 'ls -l /usr/bin/gcc'

And run the following command:
'aptitude install nvidia-driver'


First i have to install the original nvidia driver now.
Do you think it is a good idea to start with a clean new copy of wheezy now and

When that has finished, attach the file '/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-

Is there no precompiled nvidia driver included in the debian packages?

Bug#735424: nvidia-driver: New vesa test

2014-01-27 Thread Karsten Malcher

O.K. Thank you for the advice.

1. I will deinstall all unneeded header packages
2. I will install the correct one and check it with dbsums
3. I will try to install the original nvidia driver and prove if it will work
4. When there is no hope to find the problem up to this point i will make
a new installation of testing on the partition.

Am 27.01.2014 20:28, schrieb Andreas Beckmann:
Is the linux-headers-3.12-1-common package correctly installed? (check with debsums) Before reinstalling, delete the 
manually created link.


Not used up to now - but i will find out.





I tried to correct this by a symbolic link:
linux-headers-3.12-1-common -> linux-headers-3.12-1-common-rt

the NVIDIA driver does not work under RT kernels, so get rid of the
linux-headers-3.12-1-rt-amd64 linux-headers-3.12-1-common-rt packages


i can't remember to have this packages installed.
They are not installed under wheezy!




Then i rerun the installer and get make2.log
I have no idea what's going wrong this time?
Nothings works. :-(

you probably don't need the uvm module ...


???




But this is not going to fix your problem. There is something X-related
broken as you could see in the failing vesa test. Maybe some outdated
library, forgotten file or symlink somewhere or a non-default
configuration setting somewhere.

Yes - but how to find out?
I thought it would be easier to get a running NVida-driver first.

Changing the tires does not get your car going if the battery is dead.


Correct. I just wanted to see if this works.
But i only found much problems with headers ...




You should really try to do a clean minimal jessie install on a separate
disk, ensure X is working properly, install the same package set as you
have on the "grown" system, ensure X is still working, and compare the
two installations.

Hmmm - yes - but that will take really much time.
I will try to do this, it will take time to find a day with some hours ...

Unfortunately I don't see another way to find the tiny difference that
breaks your system.


You have convinced me.


BTW, in your wheezy installation, which driver and kernel version were
you using? Did you test with the nvidia driver from wheezy-backports?

I posted somewhere at the beginning of the bug. It is 304.88-1+deb7u1
You mean i should install the backport driver on wheezy first?
I can try whatever can be done that don't need a half of a day.

319.82 backport was uploaded a few hours ago. See the backports page for
instructions how to use backports.

This should be rather quick and is just to verify that there isn't
something broken w.r.t 319.82 on your card.


But then i must reinstall a copy of my running system first.
I don't want to break my working system.
I think it is more sensefull to try a clean installation of testing?


Andreas

The purpose of nvidia-detect is not to tell you something about upstream

O.K. It's not a bug - it's a feature.




nvidia-detect cries for 304.
So how to install something that does not exist? ;-)

... but about Debian package names. And 'nvidia-driver' does exist.
That's what 'default drivers' is about.


The description says:
"The 'nvidia-detect' script in this package checks for an NVIDIA GPU in the system and recommends one of the non-free 
accelerated driver meta-packages"


When the main function is "only" to recommend something, everything is perfect. 
:-)



But you are right, we could mark the '304' more prominently as 'legacy'.


Fine. :-)
Close the bug.




Andreas

PS: Note to self: check that nvidia-detect in wheezy-backports outputs
something sane


Then i should update the wiki that this package exists.
It's really not clear how get NVidia running in Debian ...

2. Boot jessie, deinstall all Debian NVidia packages

Instead of just deinstalling, I'd suggest purging the package(s), which also
removes configuration files.
Optionally you can also do the following to make sure all config files are
indeed removed:
- check /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to see if there are any config files there (which
could interfere)
- run 'updatedb.mlocate' (as root)
- run 'find -name *nvidia* -type f' (as root) to see whether there are still
nvidia files on your system you'd like to get rid of

Then reboot and install the nvidia driver

HTH,
   Diederik



I have purged all the packages.
But installation of the NVidia driver fails, because compilation does not work.
I atteched the logs.

The directory /usr/src/linux-headers-3.12-1-amd64 exists!
But only with 1,9 MB content?

I already run an package update.
I think there are some things really misconfigured and bad in jessie.

Hello Diederik,

that's really interesting.
So it must be a configuration problem of previous installations?
Do you have made a fresh installation or an upgrade?

I have made now an additional test:
On a third partition i have a copy of my wheezy installation.
In this installation i have an self compiled kernel V 3.12.6 for some
driver tests with a newer kernel.

Up to now i booted there using the neauveau driver with this configuration:
Section "Device"
 Identifier  "n"
 Driver  "nv"
EndSection

shouldn't that be Driver "nouveau" ? ("nv" is an even older driver last
seen in squeeze) but that wouldn't even need an xorg.conf


Yes - this was only a quick and dirty solution to get a running X with a new 
kernel.




Now i deinstalled all Debian NVidia packages in this installation and
installed the actual NVIdia driver
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.38.run

I did have some problems with compilation of the driver, although i
installed the kernel with a debian building script.
ii  linux-image-3.12.6 3.12.6 amd64
Linux kernel binary image for version 3.12.6
ii  linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64 3.2.23-1
amd64Linux 3.2 for 64-bit PCs

But the driver could be installed an is running fine!

So something with the configuration or the debian package of 319.82 is
not correct.
The newer driver 331.38 is running on the same installation as the
upgraded one in this bug.

This has only proved that 331.38 is running in a wheezy environment.


Yes and No - it has also proved that my configuration is able to run X with 
kernel 3.12.6


Vesa should work there as well. As I understood your problem so far it
is "all xserver video drivers result in a black screen in jessie".


Yes - that's correct.

I will made the following test now:

1. Backup the current upgraded jessie partition (with the chance to recover).
2. Boot jessie, deinstall all Debian NVidia packages
3. Install NVidia driver 331.38

Then we will see if this will work.



Do you have a spare hard disk to make a minimal fresh jessie
installation (installing on a usb stick should work as well) and see if
you can get X running with vesa/nouveau (and nvidia afterwards)?
Thereafter compare /etc contents, maybe install the exactly same
packageset in the new install and look for differences.



I have no doubt that this will work.
The problem is a failing upgrade from wheezy to jessie.

Cheers
Karsten

This time the log shows a clean vesa install. And if vesa is not working (even if it would be horribly slow), there 
seems to be something else going on. It's not the nvidia driver being faulty - the same happens there, but you don't 
see the flickering because its "too fast". I see the same in the Xorg.log from both drivers - X is started 
successfully. But right now I'm out of clues how to debug this further - the X maintainers might help here to get vesa 
running. And if that is working, switching back to nvidia should be no problem. Andreas 


Thank you for analyzing and trying to solve the problem!

It seems to be a really sucking problem with the configuration of this 
installation.
Is there a chance for a simply and clean reinstall of all the stuff around X 
and Nvida?
Maybe this could save the personal settings and get the same situation as a new 
installation?

Otherwise i think this will cost to much time for further analyzing of this 
problem.
Then there only two options:
1. Wait and try another upgrade from wheezy to jessie in hope that it will work 
later.
2. Uninstall the nvidia debian packages and try to use the original NVidia 
installer.
   (I have no idea what the NVidia installer is making different that it works?)

I understand your eagerness to fix this asap, but I'm not going to interfere
with Andreas bug-triage efforts.


Of course i understand this.

But from my point of view i never could made an upgrade in Debian without 
problems.
I always where using Nvidia cards.
Before wheezy i never got an running X without original NVidia drivers.
In wheezy the first time the Nvidia Debian package was running for me.
It seems it was the last time. :-(

Any update of the kernel will cause the loose of X.


But I can say this:
- When trying to find a problem, only change 1 variable at a time, otherwise
you don't know which change caused a change in behaviour.


i only made an "simple" system upgrade from wheezy to jessie.


- Don't use NVidia's .run file if you're reporting an issue on a Debian
package, since they're not meant to be co-installed (and Debian's package
cleans thing up from a possible previous .run installation).


That's why i made this test in a different installation.
It was a simple test if kernel 3.12.6 and the NVidia driver will work together.


- Use the same system/installation on all bug-triage efforts, otherwise you're
comparing completely different systems (btw 3.12 kernel on wheezy and not from
backports?)


Somehow it must be possible to have a working PC. ;-)
In this case i hold back the upgraded installation for this bug.
There is no additional mix up.



I've been running Debian's NVidia packages for years, without any issue,
including on my freshly installed system I'm running now.


That's the main problem.
On a fresh installation you don't have this problems.
In most of the cases this will work.

But what's about of the hundreds of personal configurations for mail, 
programming, viewing and working?
You will loose them with a new installation and need to much time to get them 
back.

In my case i have a "master installation" with the individual settings for 3 
users!
This installation will be cloned to all working PC's.
When i want to upgrade to a newer distribution it must be an upgrade or it will 
kill me.

I think this problems are not my personal problems and touch many users.
So upgrade problems should also be in a distribution focus.

Karsten

Andreas,

I have the same graphics card (GT 430), the same driver version and (almost)
the same kernel (Linux bagend 3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.8-1 (2014-01-19)
x86_64 GNU/Linux) and everything is running fine here.
So if you want me to check/test things so 'notes' can be compared, just let me
know (I'm subsribed to the pkg-nvidia-devel ML).

Hello,

i am sorry, at least nothing has worked.
With the driver from unstable i get no running X.

All the configurations of xorg.conf i testes result in "no screens found".
I attach the last configuration.
The first one was the minimal configuration.file:///sda/etc/X11/xorg.conf

What is to do now?

That's what i can't understand too.
After boot X does not start and i land on the basic text shell.
So i can log in as user and startx.

Without xorg.conf i only get the error "no screens found".
With an xorg.conf i only get an blank black screen.
It seems that the graphic card is not initialized correctly or something else.
Shutdown is with CTRL-C by the user.



Please try the new driver releases 319.82 in unstable and 331.38 in
experimental.


How can i install this driver in jessie?


  And try a minimal config file as decribed in

I tried to use nvidia-xconfig with the same result of this black blank screen.
The xorg.conf is attached.

Hello,

wheezy to jessie.

That should be supported :-)


That was my hope also - but i was really disappointed to land on the shell.




This installation has been upgraded more than one time and in the
history there might be the usage of original nvidia packages.

I have put a lot of effort into cleaning up the mess created by having
used the nvidia *.run installer in the past, but I may have missed some
corner cases.


I believe that and thank you for your work!

There are really to many types of NVidia-cards out there.
Is there a way to easy find out which package must be installed for an NVidia 
card?

Here i can't find my card:
http://packages.debian.org/jessie/nvidia-legacy-173xx-driver


Here i can't find any hint what to do on jessie:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
I would update this Wiki-page with the correct informations.


Right now I don't see an obvious problem.
Please run

   reportbug -N 735424


I will do this.
But after this i would try to install the correct NVida-package for a GT 400 if 
possible.

Bug#686754: Is there any hope that this bug will be fixed?

2014-01-15 Thread Karsten Malcher

Am 15.01.2014 11:48, schrieb Lukas Schwaighofer:

Hi Karsten,

To my knowledge linux-boot-prober does the following:
* Mount the given partition read-only to a temporary directory
* Read the /etc/fstab of this partition to check if /boot is on a
   separate partition. If so, it is also mounted.
* Read and parse the boot loader configuration from the temporary
   directory. For grub2 that is boot/grub/grub.cfg. The parameters to
   the linux kernel (the root=… directive that was wrong in your case)
   should be directly taken from this file.
* Unmount everything again

So your report from your message #15 makes sense, if
the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file on sda3 (I'm assuming you do not have a
separate boot partition) previously contained the "wrong" parameters for
the Linux kernel
(root=UUID=5c902625-e63e-446f-a5c5-c24a1176dec7 ro single).

Regards
Lukas


Hi Lukas,

then we have found the explanation for this problem - thank you!

The grub.cfg on the copy of the installation will be correct only after boot 
and update of this installation.
And i must run update-grub first on the standard installation to get the 
partition with the copy booted.

It's impossible to avoid this error under this circumstances!

So this bug can be closed.

GRUB doesn't generate those kernel parameters itself; it relies on os-prober to fetch them from the boot loader 
configuration files on those other systems. It's quite possible that the problem is simply that the boot loader 
configuration inside the filesystem on /dev/sda3 (or its associated /boot filesystem) is wrong. Could you find the 
relevant configuration file and attach it? 


Hello Colin,

now i understand more.
I found this description of os-prober here:
http://joeyh.name/code/os-prober/

Calling os-prober only give this information:
# os-prober
/dev/sda2:Debian GNU/Linux (7.2):Debian:linux
/dev/sda3:Debian GNU/Linux (jessie/sid):Debian1:linux


It seems not to merge the information with the UUID of the partitions.
I found an other interesting effect, which explains that this bug has not been 
found.
Now an grub-update produces the correct grub.cfg.


menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, mit Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (on /dev/sda3)" --class 
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2

initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.12-1-amd64
}

What i did in the history:
1. I unpacked an backup of /dev/sdb1 (Grub partition with Debian wheezy) to 
/dev/sda3
2. I altered the fstab of the copy and run update-grub (After this i got this 
wrong grub.cfg)
3. I boot from /dev/sda3 and made an system-upgrade from wheezy to jessie
4. After the upgrade i run update-grub again from /dev/sdb1 to actualize the new kernel on /dev/sda3 (Now grub.cfg is 
correct)


Is it possible that the (wrong) information is extraced from initrd.img ?

Cheers
Karsten

Bug#704242: Driver for PL-2303 HX not working

2014-01-13 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hello together,

i will close this bug at Debian now.

After the last update this error seems to disappear in Debian stable.
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/ChangeLog
USB: pl2303: fix device initialisation at open

The source for this patch can be found here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg30311.html
It's possible that this will not fix the bug under all circumstances depending 
on the application.

Summary:
==

I did need some time to realize that this bug will occur only with PL2303HX 
chips that are China clones.
In fact this type of chips run out of production at Profilic.
http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?pcid=41&showlevel=0017-0037-0041
Only the PL2303HXD can be buyed as original, so any new PL2303HX is a China 
clone.

I have been contacted by Frank Schäfer and so we tested some of his driver 
improvements in combination with newer kernels.
Up to now this could not be backported to kernel 3.2.x, but i could test a kernel 3.12.6 on Debian wheezy and the 
PL2303HX is running fine.


There are really much products with this clone chips out there, so some further improvements of the driver would be 
really helpful.
I will make further tests together with Frank and hope that this improvements will find a place into the next kernel 
versions starting with Debian jessie and 3.12.6


Best regards
Karsten

Have you tried a newer kernel in a while?  A number of things have been
hopefully fixed since June when you last looked.

greg k-h

no at this time i have not tested it - sorry.
Although i am fascinated from your work i personally prefer to use stable 
releases for my daily work.
This bug here shows that several functionalites in detail can be lost with an 
update.
Then it takes much time to find workarounds - specially when hardware is not 
running any more.

When i look in the Debian repositories i only see kernel 3.11.10 for testing 
and unstable.
The latest one is 3.12.3 in experimental.
I will see to upgrade one copy of my installation to testing on another 
partition with 3.11.10.

Do you mean that will hopefully show a resolution for this problem?

I do not know, 3.11 is pretty old, sorry.


My distribution update fails into a system without X.
So no new tests with Kernel 3.11 so far.
I looked for a CD booting system with a newer kernel, but there seems to be no 
one?

* Knoppix Kernel 3.9.6
* Kubuntu Kernel 3.11 maybe a choice

As you can see - you can only dream of a 3.12.5 stable kernel. ;-)

But when Debian Testing will run i make a retest of the PL-2303 HX.

Cheers

Personally, I have resolved to abandon the PL2303 chip, and move to
FTDI instead. But for the sake of other Linux users who might buy that
adapter by mistake, I am willing to donate the hardware to an able
kernel hacker :-)

Yes, I recommend the ftdi devices as well, the specs are availble, and
the driver seems to work better because of it.

Bug#721595: KDE network manager does not work

2013-09-02 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hi Michael,

the first thing is that wicd doesn't work also. :-)
So i reinstalled the network-manager-kde.

Am 02.09.2013 14:10, schrieb Michael Biebl:

You've configured your network interface device(s) in
/etc/network/interface, that means they are managed by ifupdown.


It makes no difference if i have only the lines for "iface lo" in the 
interfaces file
or if the file doesn't exist.
Network is not coming up and the manager is not scanning for WLAN.
The same message with insufficient privileges appers by manual entry and save.

There must be more wrong.



If you want to manage your interface with
network-manager/plasma-widget-networkmanagement, you should remove those
interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces. See also
/usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian


Hmm - this dependencies are not not clear for me and for other users.
It would be fine if the right dependencies would be checked when the package is 
installed.

It seems to be always a struggle to get WLAN running.
I will not think about bluetooth ..

2013-09-02 Thread Karsten Malcher

Here is a forum thread with someone where it is not working also.
http://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=138291

The solution was to deinstall the kde networkmanager and to install wicd.

root@weide:/home/hugo# apt-get purge network-manager
root@weide:/home/hugo# rm -r /etc/NetworkManager/
root@weide:/home/hugo# apt-get install wicd wicd-gtk wicd-curses

I think i will test it now.
Is this really the only solution?

Package: plasma-widget-networkmanagement
Version: 0.9.0.3-1
Severity: important

Hello,

i am trying desperated to get WLAN working without problems on wheezy.
One time i get a connection, then never again.

I installed the network manager to have a comfortable configuration, but it 
seems not to have the correct rights to work.
The scanning for hotspots does not work and when i manually create a WLAN connection and try to save it, it fails with 
insufficient privileges (see screenshot).


As you can see here i have access to WLAN functionality on the shell:

But automatically it is not configured correct with the WPA key:

Why the network manager has not enough privileges?
Any other idea to solve the problem?

Bug#720859: kwalletmanager does not start

2013-08-25 Thread Karsten Malcher

Package: kwalletmanager
Version: 4:4.8.4-3
Severity: important

Hello,
today i want to delete two stored passwords from kwallet.
But when i try to open the kwalletmanager nothing happens.
When i try to open it from the shell i get:

karsten@PC:~$ kwalletmanager
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. 
Application may misbehave.

Any ideas to solve the problem?

Best regards
Karsten

Bug#705919: Info received (Bug#705919: icedove does not play sounds (notifications when new messages arrive))

2013-07-22 Thread Karsten Malcher

Today after the next reboot it works!

My last actions where to install this two packages:
pulseaudio-esound-compat
alsaplayer-esd

I think this seems to fix the problem.

This bug can be closed.

Cheers
Karsten

Bug#705919: icedove does not play sounds (notifications when new messages arrive)

2013-07-21 Thread Karsten Malcher

One new idea basing on this Link:
http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/5060-solved-thunderbird-stopped-playing-sound-when-new-messages-arrive/

The libs
libesd0
libcanberra0
libstdc
are installed.

Esound is installed, but the pulseaudio layer was missed first.
# dpkg -l | grep esound
ii  esound-common  0.2.41-10  all  Enlightened Sound Daemon - 
Common files
ii  pulseaudio-esound-compat   2.0-6.1amd64PulseAudio ESD compatibility 
layer


Sound is still not playing.
I found out that the esound daemon is not runnning.
But when i manually start esd this does not matter.

# esd -v
pulseaudio esd wrapper 2.0

I am not shure if this mus really run, because it is also a wrapper?

Regards
Karsten

Bug#705919: icedove does not play sounds (notifications when new messages arrive)

2013-07-21 Thread Karsten Malcher

Hello Carsten,

i tested now with the "original" Thunderbird and there is no sound notification 
also.
So this should be a general problem or a sound misconfiguration.
I attached a screenshot for the sound configuration of the Thunderbird.

But how can i find the problem?
All other sound is working!
The file is playing perfect with any other soundplayer including "aplay 
siehabenpost.wav".

Best regards
Karsten

Hi,

Hello Karsten,

Where i can see this?
There is no line with something like sound.
You found the related lines as you wrote in the other mail.


No - i opened prefs.js directly with an editor.


Found this two lines in prefs.js now:

user_pref("mail.biff.play_sound.type", 1);
user_pref("mail.biff.play_sound.url", "file:///path/mysound.wav");

This means the file would be found in '/path/mysound.wav' ? Is that
true? And if so what about the access right of that file? Icedove is
able access that file (in context of your user permissions)?
A file location like this is very unconventional. Better select a file
inside your home directory.


Of course not - the file name was manually edited for the email from me.



If this want work your sound system is configured wrong.


My soundsystem is working perfect in all other cases.

I have renamed my prefs.js and started Icedove again.
Now i simply added the soundfile as shown in the screenshot.
This does not work!

The only thing i can do now is to try the "original" Thunderbird.

Cheers
Karsten
