Bug#940045: systemd mount command for overlayfs seems incorrect

[Paul Thomas]

Package: systemd
Version: 241-5
Severity: normal

We're trying to create a home.mount file for mounting an overlayfs.
The contents of the file is here:
 [Unit]
 Description=Mount home overlay
 After=mkdirs.service
 Before=local-fs.target

 [Mount]
 Where=/home
 What=overlay
 Type=ovarlay
 Options=lowerdir=/home,upperdir=/tmp/home,workdir=/tmp/home_work

systemd then tries to execute this command:
 /bin/mount overlay /home -t ovarlay -o
lowerdir=/home,upperdir=/tmp/home,workdir=/tmp/home_work
This command fails, it also fails when I try to execute this manually as well.

The correct command should be:
 mount -t overlay overlay -o
lowerdir=/home,upperdir=/tmp/home,workdir=/tmp/home_work /home

Other fs types like tmpfs seem to be fine.

Bug#923346: updates

[Paul Thomas]

OK, a couple of updates.

First, I tracked down line ptp4l call that starts this off, it's the
ioctl(fd, SIOCSHWTSTAMP, &ifreq); line 88 in sk.c. I can see if a
standalone program that just does that ioctl has the same affect.

Second, I was able to reproduce this using the mainline 5.0-rc8 kernel.

Bug#923346: networking

[Paul Thomas]

Yeah, I think a bug in the driver is possible, Xilinx reports proper
ptp operation:
https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18841740/Macb+Driver#MacbDriver-PTP

I'm using a RT patched 4.18 kernel, so now I'm in the process of
testing some other kernels.

One other piece of information, I did pull the latest git version of
linuxptp, with the same results:
https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18841740/Macb+Driver#MacbDriver-PTP

Bug#923346: networking

[Paul Thomas]

OK, I think something more with the networking is going on. It still
works, but something is off. I'll investigate more tomorrow.

-Paul

Bug#923346: more info

[Paul Thomas]

OK, a little more info, just running the command:
ptp4l -m -i eth0

Breaks sshd until a reboot (existing sessions continue, but new
sessions are unable to start), restarting the networking or stopping
the ptp4l command doesn't help.

Also this is with two Ethernet adapters using the macb driver.

Bug#923346: linuxptp breaks sshd

[Paul Thomas]

Package: linuxptp
Version: 1.8-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Dear Maintainer,

After installing linuxptp sshd no longer works, tail of
/var/log/auth.log shows entries like:
"ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection from 10.244.33.4 port 52630:
Resource temporarily unavailable [preauth]"

   * What led up to the situation?
Installing linuxptp

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
Uninstall linuxptp or remove it as a service "service.remove ptp4l"

I've got multiple boards and the issue is the same. This is on an
embedded arm64 (zynq ultrascale)
booting from a uSD card, it is not a debian kernel.

Bug#638941: Acknowledgement (Blank consoles when using virtualbox guest additions)

[Paul Thomas]

FYI, this bug has been independently reported upstream
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9490
Thanks.

Bug#638941: Blank consoles when using virtualbox guest additions

[Paul Thomas]

Package: virtualbox-guest-dkms
Version: 4.1.0-dfsg-2


Hello,

I am using debian testing as guest in a virtualbox virtual machine, hosted
on a windows 7 host (virtualbox version 4.1.2).

I am using a higher resolution for the consoles, passing the argument
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768, in /etc/default/grub.

The issue I have is that, at the point where the kernel module vboxvideo is
loaded (as a component of the virtualbox X11 driver), the consoles are
blanked and no longer display messages. this can be checked by Ctrl+Fn
(1..6). Boot completes normally and if I switch to tty1 for extample, I can
blindly log in and execute commands.

The issue is always reproducible.

Further information:

- If I do NOT set a higher resolution (remove the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX
argument), everything is normal.

- If I use the iso-provided guest additions (4.1.2), I have the same issue.

- This did not happen with the previous guest additions version (4.0.10) and
returning to this version solves the issue.



I am using Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy, kernel 3.0.0-1 and libc6 2.13-16.

Bug#634387: Some functionalities not available without wodim being installed

[Paul Thomas]

Package: k9copy
Version: 2.3.7-1

When using k9copy to backup a dvd into an iso dvd image, the operation fails
if none of wodim or k3b are present on the system. This comes from the fact
that, eventhough no physical dvd is actually burnt, the
src/core/k9burndvd.cpp program checks the availability of either k3b or the
two cdrkit programs genisoimage AND wodim. Absent k3b and wodim,
k9burndvd.cpp performs a hard coded call to mkisofs, which is absent from
the squeeze and above debian repositories.

Installing either wodim or k3b solves the issue.

As the featur of backing up to an iso image seems quite often used, I would
suggest that the package provides a recommends on wodim or k3b, probably in
that order as wodim is much lighter than k3b.

I am using Debian Wheezy.

BTW, thanks again for packaging this program in debian.

Bug#634249: Acknowledgement (Error when using k9copy in DVD creation mode)

[Paul Thomas]

I had a quick look at the source code and found that calls to these
libraries ar made in src/vamps/k9ffmpeg.cpp like this one:

FormatHandle=dlopen("libavformat.so",RTLD_LAZY);

So in order to avoid the error, one should install the four involved
lib*-dev packages (actually, libavformat-dev and libswscale-dev will bring
in the two others).

I suspect this is probably not following the standard debian practices,
in which case, this bug shoud be reported upstream. Let me know what route
should be followed.

Bug#634249: Error when using k9copy in DVD creation mode

[Paul Thomas]

Package: k9copy
Version: 2.3.7-1

When using k9copy in DVD creation mode (menu : Action/DVD Creation), a popup
message complains about not being able to load three libraries (libavformat,
libavcodec, libswscale). Further closing the application results in a
standard KDE bug popup.
Launched in terminal, no message is displayed in the terminal.

I am using Debian Wheezy freshly installed with no external repository :).

Bug#474994: Localized ppd

[Paul Thomas]

For reference purposes, here is the bug report filed against
cups-genppdupdate not respecting the localization of ppd files:

Bug#482090: cups-genppdupdate does not keep ppd files localized

[Paul Thomas]

Package: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
Version: 5.0.2-2+b1

While upgrading the package, the post-install script calls
cups-genppdupdate.5.0 to update ppd files used by cups and stored in
/etc/cups/ppd.

If the system runs a locale different than "C", e.g. de_DE.UTF-8, and the
original ppd contains the localized strings for that locale, then the
updated ppd no longer contains translated strings bu only English ones.

I believe this is the result of a coding error in the cups-genppdupdate perl
script, for which I am attaching a patch.
 Thank you

Bug#474994: Localized ppd

[Paul Thomas]

OK, I spent some time digging.

I have identified the issue with cups-genppdupdate overwriting in english
any localized ppd. I will file a separate bug (and provide a patch) for that
soon.

With that, no need to re-generate a localized ppd everytime the package is
upgraded. However, I still need to generate the initial version of the
localized ppd (i.e. on a fresh install) because higher level tools such as
gnome-print only create "on the fly" ppds in english (there is ground to
file a wishlist bug there also).

So there seems to me that cups-genppd will still be needed and I suggest you
re-introduce it in the next major release of gutenprint.

I hope this make sense. If not, I'm ready to clarify.

Paul

Bug#474994: Localized ppd

[Paul Thomas]

Hello,

It's about cups-genppd suppression.

Currently, I'm using cups-genppd to create localized (i.e. non-english) ppd
files. If you drop cups-genppd, how will localized ppd files be generated
"on the fly". It seems that, for example, gnome printing tools fail to do
so.

On top of that, cups-genppdupdate constanlty overwrites the localized
messages with the "C" locale one, thus necessitating to use cups-genppd to
re-generate them.

I may not be clear, so please ask for different or more detailed
information.

Thanks in advance for your help

Bug#457817: I can confirm this behaviour

[Paul Thomas]

I can confirm this behaviour. I'm using a locally built repo and the
official Debian repos in my sources.list. If the locally built package
and the official have the same version, this happens.

I have assigned a 900 priority to my local repo and 800 to the
official Debian ones. So aptitude always tries to install my local
version over and over.

Thanks.

Bug#446312: Does not seem to work very well

[Paul Thomas]

I re-installed debian sid yesterday.

Based on the xserver-xorg package documentation I choosed to intall :

sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-input-kbd
xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-video-ati

I only have a keyboard, a mouse and an ATI video card. I was assuming that
naming the specific input and video packages would trigger the presence of
the xserver-xorg-input-2 and xserver-xorg-video-2, thus avoiding to install
xserver-xorg-input-all and xserver-xorg-video-all.

It does not work, I have the *-all package installed.

I tried installing only :

aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-ati

what happens is that it pulls xserver-xorg-core then xserver-xorg and then,
of course xserver-input-all (but no xserver-video-all). So here again with a
*-all.
Same thing when I tried only xserver-xorg-input-kb, I ended up with
video-all.

Is there a way to only have the desired input and video drivers and not the
undesired ones?

Or is it a bug in aptitude that does not know how to interpret the presence
of specific candidates for a virtual package and a choice of packages? If
you think this is the case, please forward this bug report to aptitude.
Maybe straight apt-get is ok but I did not try.

Thanks in advance,

Paul Thomas
