There is no such banner - at least not in current Debian Stable.

Bug#866772: Still present - definitely dual display issue

2018-01-28 Thread Markus Laire
I've used Xfce for several months with single display and never got
this issue, and when I recently changed back to dual display setup it
didn't take long for this issue to reappear.

So this is still an issue, and is definitely related to using two displays.

Bug#869431: php7.0-fpm: Decreasing opcache.memory_consumption in pool-file causes negative "used memory"

2017-07-23 Thread Markus Laire
Package: php7.0-fpm
Version: 7.0.19-1
Severity: normal

I added following setting to pool-file in /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/ to
decrease the memory consumption from default 64M:

php_admin_value[opcache.memory_concumption] = 32

After this change, phpinfo() reports following under section "Zend OPcache":

...
Used memory: -23632720
Free memory: 57187152
...
opcache.memory_consumption: 32
...

It seems that both the value defined in php.ini (64) and this new value
(32) are being used to cause impossible situation (negative used memory).

Bug#866772: Some errors in seat0-greeter.log

2017-07-20 Thread Markus Laire
I got this bug again and this time I checked right location for logs,
i.e. /var/log/...

I didn't see anything interesting, except that
/var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log has following error repeatedly:

(lightdm-gtk-greeter:3794): Gtk-WARNING **: Drawing a gadget with
negative dimensions. Did you forget to allocate a size? (node menubar
owner GreeterMenuBar)

About my dual display: I forgot to mention that while I have set
displays to mirror each other in Xfce settings, this setting does not
affect login screen for some reason.

Bug#866772: xfce4: can't unlock session, just blank screen with cursor flickering

2017-07-01 Thread Markus Laire
Package: xfce4
Version: 4.12.3
Severity: important

When locking screen with Ctrl-Alt-Del and then after a while returning
to computer to log back in, I sometimes get completely black screen
with cursor flickering at the center of the screen. There is no login
dialog and moving mouse doesn't move cursor.

Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. do work to change to text terminal,
but I can't get back into X at all.

During this there is no output to ~/.xfce-session.verbose-log
or ~/.xsession-errors

I have two identical displays connected to computer mirroring each other.
Both displays have exactly same output.

It is present in both 2.6.24-6 [*] and 2.6.25-3, under GPL-license and

ps. I recently sent additional information to bug #383403 (merged with

 if you find additional DFSG violations report a new bug.

This clearly isn't additional DFSG violation.

I hope you don't continue closing bugs which has *not* been dealt with
yet (unless you can show that such behaviour is acceptable by
Debian, which I doubt.)

  Stopping processing here.
 
 stop this game or i get you blacklisted on debian bug tracking system.

I do not like such threats when I havn't done anything wrong (according
to my knowledge).

I was acting exactly as you requested. IMHO you said that
reopening should be done only by maintainer or by someone with info
that bug had not been dealt with.

I'm not a maintainer, but I did have info that bug had not been
dealt with, so I reopened the bug with that info.

I fail to see any reason to threaten me with blacklisting.

IMHO it is you who should've been threatened with blacklisting if
anyone, since you have insisted on closing bugs which clearly havn't
been fixed.

If I did something wrong, IMHO the right response would've been to point
out my mistake to me, and not to threaten with blacklisting without
giving any reason for it.

 it is up to the maintainer to decide if that is closed or not.

If maintainer decides that bug must not be reopened anymore, that
should be mentioned in the bug-report.

Bug#387783: Why was bug #387783 downgraded from serious to important?

2006-10-19 Thread Markus Laire

Hello,

As a reporter of Bug #387783[1] I'd like to ask why it was
downgraded[2] (by Andreas Barth) from serious to important, not making
it RC anymore.

According to etch_rc_policy[3] Everything in non-free must be
distributable by Debian. I take this to implicitly mean that
everything in main must also be distributable by Debian.

This bug is about possibly *undistributable* files, and so should
clearly be an RC-bug. (See the bugreport[1] for details)

The Co-Maintainer Eduard Bloch of the affected source-package
cdrkit[4] also agrees[5] that we are talking about possibly
*undistributable* files.

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387783
[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387783;msg=44

[4] http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cdrkit.html
[5] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387783;msg=54

ps. Since the decision to downgrade[2] this bug was done by Andreas
Barth, I don't think I have the authority to restore the severity to
serious, and so I wanted to contact the Release Team to know what they
think about this matter.

Bug#387783: cdrkit seems to have undistributable license

2006-09-16 Thread Markus Laire

Source: cdrkit
Version: 5:1.0~pre4-1
Severity: serious

The current license of cdrkit (which was recently forked from
cdrecord) seems to be GPLv2 + additional restrictions.

This kind of a license is self-contradictory because on the one hand
the copyright holder says that no further restrictions (beyond the
ones found in the GPL terms) can be imposed on recipients (see GPLv2,
section 6). On the other hand he himself adds such restrictions. As a
consequence, we probably end up not having a valid license. No license
implies All Rights Reserved, that is to say, the package is not only
non-free, it's undistributable!
(This is allmost direct quote from a message[1] which discussed
another case of GPL + additional restrictions.)

As of 5:1.0~pre4-1 there seems to be 26 problematic files:

=== Files with an unmodifiable section ===
 cdrecord/cdrecord.c
 scgcheck/scgcheck.c

=== Files with other restriction(s) on modification ===
 librscg/scsi-remote.c
 libscg/scsi-aix.c
 libscg/scsi-amigaos.c
 libscg/scsi-apollo.c
 libscg/scsi-beos.c
 libscg/scsi-bsd-os.c
 libscg/scsi-bsd.c
 libscg/scsi-hpux.c
 libscg/scsi-linux-ata.c
 libscg/scsi-linux-pg.c
 libscg/scsi-linux-sg.c
 libscg/scsi-mac-iokit.c
 libscg/scsi-next.c
 libscg/scsi-openserver.c
 libscg/scsi-os2.c
 libscg/scsi-osf.c
 libscg/scsi-qnx.c
 libscg/scsi-sgi.c
 libscg/scsi-sun.c
 libscg/scsi-unixware.c
 libscg/scsi-vms.c
 libscg/scsi-wnt.c
 libscg/scsihack.c
 libscg/scsitransp.c

Those 2 unmodifiable sections are preceded by this comment:
 /*
  * Warning: you are not allowed to modify or to remove this
  * version checking code!
  */

Other restrictions are similar to this example from libscg/scsi-linux-ata.c:
 /*
  * If you changed this source, you are not allowed to
  * return schily for the SCG_AUTHOR request.
  */
 case SCG_AUTHOR:
return (_scg_auth_cdrkit);
 case SCG_SCCS_ID:
return (ata_sccsid);


There might be (at least) two possible ways to resolve this:
 1) The restrictions are GPL-incompatible. However, according to a
message[2] on debian-legal, Joerg Schilling said that cdrecord (from
which the cdrkit was forked) was GPL, and so, if his public statement
controls, we can just remove the incompatible restrictions.

 2) Otherwise we need to go back to code which doesn't contain such
restrictions.


It's also worth noting that:

since this fork was done with the intent of solving cdrtools
licensing issues, it is of capital importance that *all* licensing
issues are fixed, or otherwise the fork itself will be pointless.

(Quoted from a message[3] at debian-legal)

This issue is being discussed[4] on debian-legal.
There's also an earlier discussion[5] about GPL + additional restrictions.

Bug#385115: Hypocrisy of Debian (was: Sorry, no more RC bugs for non-free data in main ...)

2006-08-30 Thread Markus Laire

On 8/30/06, Roberto Gordo Saez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

If this is the common feeling here, I think I made a serious mistake
choosing Debian, because it does not follow my definition of freedom.
I would like to urge to change the Social Contract to be clarified
this in this case. I'm serious about that, it is no joke, because I
feel mislead. When reading it I was thinking I was doing the correct.
I was not sending those bugs because I am bad person, I was actually
thinking that was the common feeling and the correct think to do.

Currently, under my point of view, the Social Contract and guidelines
do not reflect reality, they are just hypocrisy. This is a subjective
view, I know, but I think I'm not the only person in the world who may
understand it this way, so please, clarify.


You are not the only one.

I have somewhat similar feelings after I found out that the
cdrtools-package[1] included in Debian isn't DFSG-free, but is still
included in main.

(Even worse, its license might even be illegal because it's GPLv2 +
incombatible restrictions)

This problem was mentioned in this list on _2004_ but cdrtools still
hasn't been removed from Debian (see [2]). IMHO hypocrisy is perfect
word to describe such behaviour.

I used to believe that Debian only included legal, DFSG-free software
in main, but cdrtools fiasco seems to prove that I was wrong.


A recent message[3] from DPL only made this worse as it's titled Bits
from the DPL: Freedom and etch and starts with As a project, Debian
is heavily committed to the ideals of free software. That's not news
to anyone reading this, ...

In the light of the cdrtools-fiasco that is clearly not true.


And in case your way of think is not the common feeling, please make a
poll or something. Until this is completely clear, I won't be morally
happy using nor giving my time to the Debian project, so you won't be
bothered with those bugs again.

Bug#203211: Software patents and Debian

My question is how Debian handles software patents.  I thought we didn't care
about them except if they were actively enforced, because it's completely
impossible to avoid all patented software, considering the junk that gets
patented.  If that is the case, would any of you know if the MPEG[24] codec
patents are actively enforced?  In other words, can this be in Debian?


Some days ago I saw a Legal Mini-FAQ[1] for FFmpeg which says, among
other things:
quote
Q: Since FFmpeg is licensed under the LGPL, is it perfectly all right
to incorporate the whole FFmpeg core into my own commercial product?
A: You might have a problem here. Sure the LGPL allows you to
incorporate the code. However, there have been cases where companies
have used FFmpeg in their projects, usually for such capabilities as
superior MPEG-4 decoding. These companies found out that once you
start trying to make money from certain technologies, the alleged
owners of the technologies will come after their dues. Most notably,
MPEG-LA (licensing authority) is vigilant and diligent about
collecting for MPEG-related technologies.

Anyway, ffmpeg[2] is included in Debian

[2] http://packages.debian.org/stable/graphics/ffmpeg

DISCLAIMER: IANAL, IANADD, and I'm not active with Debian, except by
reading few mailing lists.
