a candidate for 0.98.1 to me.

Bug#593702: RM: usplash -- ROM; buggy as hell

2010-08-20 Thread maximilian attems
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

usplash squarbles your screen and
is in the days of KMS graphic drivers no longer useful.

Newer initramfs should use plymouth for graphical display.
usplash was a nice hack, but includes duplicate bogl.

please remove from sid.

If it involves ipconfig you want to look at #584583,

Indeed as mailinglist history show I had been sceptic to that monster
patch, but several users had pushed for it, see:

as mika is currently on vacation after Debconf. I will look into the issue
and see if said patch resolves his testcase which is nicely layed out in

well then you have either to go for the suspend to ram debug things
or test latest 2.6.35 in experimental.

second choice is easier and best advice.

I'd suggest to have m-i-t parse the blacklist bootparam.
the thing is this one is initramfs-tools specific dracut prefix rd to it
marking it as a non linux-2.6 param. We didn't have that discussion yet.

this isn't as trivial as said. the sys walking code is nicely abstracted
in a function the ugly^Wdiverse root parsing code not.
so it should do that and then one can add aboves.

this is clearly wishlist as MODULES=dep is not default.
not a priority for squeeze, thanks for the report.

apt-get proposed something sensible, didn't check for gimp.
It dislikes for some reason anjuta, don't remember why.

we have several boxes to upgrade to squeeze, with very similar setup.
I was just looking at the current improvements thanks to the
xserver-xorg-core changes it no longer deinstalls xorg on apt-get
dist-upgrade.

didn't try some apt or aptitude first upgrade path as it seems
for me unnatural. somehow i still am attached to simple upgrades
on two goes (upgrade then dist-upgrade) and thus finding to
break that into steps is an unnecessary burden..

I see thanks allmost everything changes as expected,
this leaves two opportunities:
A) ignore the abi change, as it is a clear improvement for alpha
   and external module should be less of a trouble on this arch.
   (considering that we haven't released yet)..
B) wait for an ABI bump to slide in those patches.

I prefer A, but will wait a while to see if anyone voices against.

checked indeed resume from klibc does return -1 when
suspend doesn't happen.

I haven't seen the resulting bootfailure yet, currently I can only
explain it by noexec tmp and thus not precache run.

the errexit for hooks on run_script() mika would thus also be hit
on boot and not only on mkinitramfs. not sure that is what we want.

this files gets created either by Debian Installer or on install by
initramfs-tools. So it must have been removed by yourself, I don't see
a bug here.

There is a report asking to regenerate this file. #565225
Playing with "config files" in Debian is considerated evil,
so not yet sure yet how to resolve that bug.

could you compile klibc ipconfig with debug on,
although it is possible to pass it on the command line it seems
dash breaks the klibc build with global debug on, thus this is easiest:

# you may skip first step if you have already current klibc sources
cd ~/src && git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git && cd 
klibc
~/src/klibc$ echo "EXTRA_KLIBCCFLAGS := -DDEBUG=1" >> usr/kinit/ipconfig/Kbuild
~/src/klibc$ make  KLIBCKERNELSRC=`pwd`/../linux-2.6

third step assumes built ~/src/linux-2.6 aka make defconfig, make there.

now you need to put that debug ipconfig in the initramfs of where
you are seeing that loop. it be interested in the log that ipconfig
outputs.

thanks.

your report is useless as it is not reported via reportbug
and thus misses important information. please next time
use reportbug as it collects that information.

you may want to double check if you have iscan installed,
please provide the output of
dpkg -l iscan*

newer initramfs-tools has several network boot fixes indeed.

can you please test that it works with latest 0.97 in squeeze.
that one should install just fine in lenny.

again great antisocial behaviour and that is the reason people choose
Ubuntu and not debian.

aborting an upgrade when you can actually do it. I see zero reason why
evolution is such a special mail client that it can't upgrade itself.
thunderbird can do and each other should.

rethink this decision. from the around 60 desktops I manage around
here I won't check on upgrade if someone is logged in when upgrading.
have other things to waste my time.
thanks.

did you check with latest experimental intel driver?

also we will shortly make 2.6.35-rcX available.
the old intel driver support is since some time messy, sorry for that.

why do you want mkinitramfs to clean some file in your statedir?
this seems the wrong location to do such

also why does it need udev (just a minor nit..)?

I haven't looked at the iscan hook script yet. The difference in
initramfs-tools is that now the hooks are run under errexit and
thus may abort. afair it has been determined that your hook script
fails (mkinitramfs needs to be more explicit about what goes on).

it is indisutable to have run to every of those boxes as evolutions
fails miserably to upgrade.

when one has chosen Noninteractive, one doesn't want to be
bothered about every detail and corner cases of the boxes one admins.
so I don't see the trouble of the shutdown.

the current upgrade from lenny to squeeze is quite borked due to
a) apt-get wanting to nuke all xorg
b) udev beeing again a pain in the arse.

so I don't remember when aboves happened in the myriad of
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
aptitude --full-upgrade

but i didn't get a debconf note, no.
hmm checking the root mail account, I see lots of mails telling me to:
evolution --force-shutdown
why can't that be done by hand, note that evolution was not actively
used on that workstation. It came with gnome.

debconf was set to Noninteractive and critical priority.

given that the root is mounted correctly and the initramfs business
is not to mount cat and dogs of /etc/fstsab, reassigning:

dpkg -S /etc/init.d/mountall.sh
initscripts

but it might very well be a util-linux bug.

please use reportbug the next time this report is missing important
info, followup is possible with:
reportbug -N 

did you try 2.6.34 from experimental, does it work there?

your first report shows clearly an mkinitramfs failure,

please explain why it should update the running one?

this makes zero sense for the most usual case of newer
linux-2.6 installed but not yet rebooted.

I had been dragging that patch as I do not like to add to many
bootparams that are outside of documented upstream linux-2.6 handling
and thus initramfs-tools specific. waited to see if a second voice
would raise..

I do not see so much the point of setting ipconfig vendor class id.
why would that be needed for booting?

the alternate DHCP port looks indeed more interesting, but no idea
how common that is in the wild? and if there is not a place in the
ip= monster bootparam?

thanks

dpkg --compare-versions does sort rc images before non rc ones.
as mentioned in the manpages initramfs-tools updates the "newest" one.

here the assumption is that rc is newer then not rc, which is wrong.
but rc admin should be smart enough to kick rc once the real is out.

so i do not see a special point for adding more complex sorting code.

rc linux images are special, people having them are expected
to handle their initramfs.

i don't see the point of introducing special sorting code that
would discriminate those rcs.

it is about time that lilo gets an hook script.
even extlinux has one although that one seems to trigger funny bug
reports, but we are used to forward such bugs.

k-p is deprecated, use upstream way: make deb-pkg
needs no strange debian scripting and is maintained in linux-2.6 itself.

this fall back will be gone as soon as squeeze is out.
so you'd really need to gear up.

sorry to jump in so late and due to my complete ignorance of ubi,

i'm a bit hesitant of adding it to every initramfs out there:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/mtd/ubi/ubi.ko
could d-i add it to the relevant installation as hook?

could you please try to reproduce on a recent 2.6.32 aka
2.6.32-13 from unstable, thanks.

also is it fixed in 2.6.34 in experimental?

aboves says that linux-2.6 is not getting the initramfs.
thus indeed blaming GRUB seems the current state of affair.

indeed 1-4 can't happen if initramfs is not unpacked.

strange that size seems not the issue:
ls -lrt img-2.6.32-3-amd64.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 maks maks 9458502 May 19 04:32 img-2.6.32-3-amd64.working
-rw-r--r-- 1 maks maks 9665786 May 19 04:32 img-2.6.32-3-amd64.broken

also qemu just unpacks fine the "broken" one and it's good for file too:
 file img-2.6.32-3-amd64.broken

adding GRUB maintainers to Cc as this new bug report seems to be a
recurring trend. #578473 seems to be duplicate of that one.

GRUB maintainers can you advise?

yep but without the iwlwifi patches, i have still to add 
f82a924cc88a5541df1d4b9d38a0968cd077a051 on top of the two patches.

currently moving around so most likely will only happen next week.

as the tests weren't conclusive the patches didn't get added to
the uploaded linux-2.6.

sure, the initramfs won't be changed without telling so,
so to have the effect of the downgrade one needs:
update-initramfs -u

looked at both the initramfs and they look good.
contain modules you'd wish they do.
qemu can unpack and run it's stuff.

well the left suspicion is the boot precaching biting your setup.
what I would need is you to boot with rootdelay=12 or something
and then see on the bootconsole what is wrong.
is the raid running? check cat /proc/mdstat
if not try to enable it with mdadm, is the crypto device there.

currently I have not much info on where the failure happens.

thanks

please open a seperate bug report with properly submited info.
using reportbug against initramfs-tools.

also checkout out http://wiki.debian.org/InitramfsDebug


above is useless as I miss the ability of remote diagnose thanks to
crystall ball guessing.

thank you.

your modprobe config needs to end with .conf, upstream will soon
ignore any that doesn't.

thanks for your feedback, will need more data to see whats gone wrong.
please post output of:
