Bug#633037: splashy: /run transition: Please switch to /run

2011-11-10 Thread Luis M
Sorry I couldn't get to this in time. Splashy has now been removed from Debian 
as everybody is moving to Plymouth. If you still need to use Splashy, I can 
create a PPA on Launchpad, or Alioth, to make it easier to get updates. 
However, you can also clone the Git repositories directly. 

Note that the wiki page has been disabled on Alioth due to constant security 
issues with DokuWiki. I might just render the pages as HTML and put them where 
people can see the info without abusing it.

Bug#648063: [Splashy-devel] Bug#648063: RM: splashy -- RoQA; FTBFS, NMU-maintained, obsolete, 'falling' popcon

2011-11-09 Thread Luis M
I agree. Please remove it from Debian as people who would use this for embedded 
systems will probably be customizing it directly. 

Normal users should migrate to Plymouth.

 Hi dear FTP team, 
 
 Note as introduction that I'm not any of the maintainers of splashy, nor
 officially a member of the QA team.
 
 I hereby request the removal of the splashy source from unstable, for the
 following reasons:
 
 - - It currently FTBFS since May 2011 (#625013) without any sign of life from
  the maintainers;
 - - It was not present in the last stable release (dropped from testing before
  release);
 - - It's last upload was a NMU, in November 2009, without acknowledgement (so
  far). The latest maintainer upload was in April 2009;
 - - It's popcon statistices are falling, especially since libsplashy1-dev has 
 no
  reverse build-depends anymore.
 - - It's technology is outdated and is well-replaced by plymouth's.
 
 Finally, to other readers of this bugreport, please note that I have
 absolutely no personal grief against (nor in favor) of splashy; I just tend to
 think that it's time in Debian should probably be over.
 
 Cheers,
 
 OdyX

Bug#505270: More infor re splashy bug 505270

2008-12-10 Thread Luis M
Thanks for sending me your initrd. I'm getting closer to fixing this  
bug. It looks like the changes in the path for themes and default  
theme has something to do with this and other crashes. We are now  
using /usr to store themes and this is a separate partition for most  
people. Also, the directory wasn't properly link in cpio when running  
from initramfs.
We will need to ensure that splashy does read from the right path once  
changed.

Expect a fix this weekend.



On Dec 9, 2008, at 7:10, tim richardson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:




Tim,

Is it possible that your problem is related to /etc/splashy/ 
config.xml ?


Try copying this file to /root/config.xml and purging Splashy 0.3.10
(dpkg --purge splashy) (from Lenny) and installing the Sid version
(0.3.12), then copy your config.xml back to /etc/splashy.




Luis, I think you are following a false lead. See below for my  
clues, but first, I followed your request:


1) I reverted to 0.3.10 and verified that it worked.

Then, I copied config.xml as you suggested

2) I purged and went back to Sid. libsplashy and uswsusp were also  
updated.
After the updgrade, I verified that the bug reappeared (splashy  
flashes momentarily, and then it disappears, as described earlier in  
the bug report)

Then I copied the saved config.xml to /etc/splashy

(Of course, bug 504389 appeared after going back to 0.3.12, for  
which I have submitted a patch http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504389 
 )


3) The saved config file made no difference. The startup behavious  
of 0.3.12 is still broken.
I actually see this on all three machines running Debian, one of  
them being an AMD desktop with Nvidia video so it has nothing to do  
with intel graphics.



 My clues:   :-)

It is very strange that a very simple fix solves the problem:
creating /etc/directfbrc and putting in a path to the log-file as I  
described earlier.

That is, this content in /etc/directfbrc solves the problem.

log-file=/tmp/directfb.log


Move that file, and the bug reappears. 100% guaranteed. It also  
fixes it on all three of my machines.



Clue part 2: change the log-file path to be /root/directfb.log and  
the bug reappears.


So it only fixes the problem when /tmp is used

There is not actually any log file created in /tmp.

I hope this is a huge clue, but I don't know enough about directfb  
to make any sense of it.
My wild guess is that without /etc/directfbrc, directfb falls back  
to a default location that is not writable.
Why would that affect this new version of splashy? Change of  
execution to premount, maybe?



Also strange: I can not duplicate the error on any virtualbox  
machines. I even made a virtual machine with a separate /home  
partition.

Couldn't reproduce it.




The new file calls the themes from /usr/share/splashy/themes/. I just
want to rule out that this is not the cause of your problem. Can you
send a copy of your initrd (/boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`) and
/etc/fstab to my email?



I will send my initrd.img via yousendit.com

/etc/fstab is:

Bug#352108: reboot from kde and kdm splashy not displayed, slow reboot

2006-02-10 Thread Luis M
The problem could be that KDM holds the console/framebuffer until it
has died/killed by init. Which would not allow splashy's libdirectfb
to use the framebuffer.

Another problem might be at your /etc/rc6.d/K* scripts level. Make
sure that /etc/rc6.d/S01splashy-init and /etc/rc6.d/K01splashy-init
exist.

To troubleshoot this better you might want to join us at #splashy on

  That dialog keeps looping forever. The only way to stop it is to switch
  to a different console (CTRL+ALT+F1) and use pkill rhythmbox. This is
  because the error dialog steals focus from you and it opens so fast that
  it doesn't allow you to close the application.

  Luis, do you still get this bug with Rhythmbox 0.9.2?

Bug#335216: Move getopt to /bin?

2005-10-30 Thread Luis M

The logical resolution to this bug (Debian #335216,
/lib/lsb/init-functions uses getopt to parse arguments, requiring /usr
to be mounted) seems to be to move getopt into /bin.


I agree.

ldd shows that getopt doesn't require any libs from /usr. So, moving it to 
/bin would make things easier (than trying to implement the functionality in 
sh code or something else).

Unfortunately I have not found a solution to this problem. I'm not

what.
I believe that I have rule out the possibility that XFS had anything
to do with it. This is because I have reformatted the drive using
various other filesystems (I even wrote zeros to the whole drive usind
dd and /dev/zero and then reformatted the drive using badblocks and
ext3). No matter what I did, the drive always went back to be
corrupted after writing a given number of gigs (copying UTF8 encoded
filenames from another Macintosh running MacOS X. I'm not sure if this
is why this happens).

I have since removed the drive from the computer. I'll put it back in
a x86 system and see if it works. That way I will rule out whether
it's the drive that has problems or the BIOS of the Powerpc system
that has limitations. Though that drive is 40GB an there is already
another 40GB drive in that same computer (this was set as a slave in
the same IDE bus).

Feel free to lower this bug report's level to low or less until I
can find out what the problem is

Bug#109846: sshd: Disable PAM if you do not want to use passwords

Hello,

ummm, are they the same? I don't think so.

What happens if you do this:

   PasswordAuthentication yes
   UsePAM no

instead of

   PasswordAuthentication no
   UsePAM no
 then passwords are effectively disabled.

I'm guessing that sshd will work by checking your password, by itself,
from /etc/passwd. But most of us with other systems for
authentication, say pam_mysql, pam_ldap, just to name a few. Those
won't be able to login to the system.

So, these two options are related, but they are not the same.

However, I'm with you in that a Note should exist in the Debian README
file saying that pam_unix in /etc/pam.d/ssh with authenticate against
/etc/passwd also. So, if you want to disable password authentication
completely, you must set UsePAM to no, as well as the older method of
authentication. For some reason this sounds to me like an obvious
thing to know (especially by experienced sysadmins). However, I see
your point.
