Bug#646621: The LibreCAD manual is not part of the distribution
Package: librecad Version: 1.0.0~rc4+nolibs-1 Severity: important When I press Menu Help - Manual - the result is a pop-up message: Bugger, I couldn't find the helpfiles on the filesystem. The version of librecad that I see on my other system, version Kubuntu Oneiric, does not expose this behavior. I will not presume to understand the building technique of the librecad package, specifically not the documentation part - but, surely, if Ubuntu can do this, Debian should be able to do it, too. best regards Peder Chr.

Bug#425452: klash: The problem persists, and is actually quite serious
Package: klash Version: 0.8.6-1 Severity: normal I just want to point out, that this problem persists, and that it may have become more serious in KDE4. Since switching to KDE 4 I have experienced several times that it is either very time consuming or downright impossible to leave the KDE lock state. In some cases I have had to toggle the power on my computer, as if it was a Windows system :-( It took some time and invistigation to discover the common denominator for these situations: that my Konqueror was displaying a web page with some Flash window in it. My typical case is www.dmi.dk, the weather forecast from Danish Institute of Meteorology; but I guess most Flash ads will have the same effect. Somehow the already high CPU usage of kde4-gnash is irritated by the lock situation to increase its CPU usage to very close to 100%, effective killing the system. I now know how to avoid this situation. But it is a serious quality problem for the distribution, it almost merits a release critical flag. best regards -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages klash depends on: ii gnash-common 0.8.6-1free SWF movie player - common fil ii libc6 2.9-27 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-6 GCC support library ii libqtcore44:4.5.3-3 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.5.3-3 Qt 4 GUI module ii libstdc++64.4.1-6The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library klash recommends no packages. klash suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#522320: cl-lexer: Mysterious fault triggered by number of rules
Package: cl-lexer Version: 1-4 Severity: normal I am attempting to use cl-lexer/cl-yacc to realize the syntax of DMTF's CIM information model - the one that is used to define MOF files for the DMTF data model. This is just to inform you that the lex rules in the example are not arbitrary - they are part of a real-life project. I observe a mysterious problem; when I tried to reduce the input to this bug report I ended up with a 10-rule lexer that works like a charm, while an 11-rule lexer fails in an area that is completely unrelated to the failure. First the failure: CL-USER (lexer:deflexer test-lexer ([+-]?[01][01]*[bB] (return (values 'binaryValue lexer:%0))) ([+-]?0[xX][0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]* (return (values 'hexValue lexer:%0))) ([+-]?[0-9]*[.][0-9][0-9]* (return (values 'flt lexer:%0))) ([+-]?0[0-7][0-7]* (return (values 'octalValue lexer:%0))) ([1-9][0-9]* (return (values 'positive lexer:%0))) ([+-]?[0-9][0-9]* (return (values 'decimal lexer:%0))) ([:alpha:][:alnum:]* (return (values 'name lexer:%0))) (any (return (values 'ANY lexer:%0))) (as (return (values 'AS lexer:%0))) (association (return (values 'ASSOCIATION lexer:%0))) ([:space:]+) ) TEST-LEXER CL-USER (defparameter lex (test-lexer 1.0)) LEX CL-USER (funcall lex) POSITIVE 1 This response is wrong: the text 1.0 should match the 3rd rule, not the 5th. If I remove a single rule (the 10th) from the lexer, it works correctly: CL-USER (lexer:deflexer test-lexer ([+-]?[01][01]*[bB] (return (values 'binaryValue lexer:%0))) ([+-]?0[xX][0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]* (return (values 'hexValue lexer:%0))) ([+-]?[0-9]*[.][0-9][0-9]* (return (values 'flt lexer:%0))) ([+-]?0[0-7][0-7]* (return (values 'octalValue lexer:%0))) ([1-9][0-9]* (return (values 'positive lexer:%0))) ([+-]?[0-9][0-9]* (return (values 'decimal lexer:%0))) ([:alpha:][:alnum:]* (return (values 'name lexer:%0))) (any (return (values 'ANY lexer:%0))) (as (return (values 'AS lexer:%0))) ([:space:]+) ) STYLE-WARNING: redefining TEST-LEXER in DEFUN TEST-LEXER CL-USER (defparameter lex (test-lexer 1.0)) LEX CL-USER (funcall lex) FLT 1.0 At a guess, I would say that this is a problem with the underlying cl-regex, not with cl-lexer itself. I will continue along this path if I can find the time. But I thought I would throw this piece of intelligence to the BTS, in the hope that someone with more insight in the two packages can tell me what happens. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cl-lexer depends on: ii cl-regex 1-3Common Lisp regular expression com ii common-lisp-controller6.17 Common Lisp source and compiler ma cl-lexer recommends no packages. cl-lexer suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#522321: cl-lexer: Documentation is wrong on certain issues
Package: cl-lexer Version: 1-4 Severity: minor The README file in the doc directory says: The LEXER package implements a lexical-analyzer-generator called DEFLEXER, which is built on top of both REGEX and CLAWK. It is only based on REGEX, not on CLAWK. The README file also claims: You can fix this by specifying :flex-compatible as the first rule. This gives all patterns a chance to examine the text and takes the one that matches the longest string (first pattern wins in case of a tie). The down side of this option is that it slows down the analyser. If you can solve the issue by reordering your rules that's the way to do it. You can also write this lexer using the :flex-compatible option, in which case you can write the int and flt rules in any order. (deflexer test-lexer :flex-compatible ([0-9]+ (return (values 'int (int %0 ([0-9]+([.][0-9]+([Ee][0-9]+)?) (return (values 'flt (num %0 ([:space:]+) ) This is plainly wrong, no such option exists in the current version of the code. If I do: CL-USER (lexer:deflexer test-lexer2 :flex-compatible ([0-9]+ (return (values 'int lexer:%0))) ([0-9]+([.][0-9]+([Ee][0-9]+)?) (return (values 'flt lexer:%0))) ([:space:]+) ) the system tells me: The value :FLEX-COMPATIBLE is not of type LIST.

Bug#519828: openoffice.org-calc: The program reports error on the IF function, copied verbatim from documentation
René, thanks for the speedy answer. OK, not everything is crystal-clear to me - after all, I need neither a column separator nor a row separator - I need a parameter separator in a function call! But, yes, using the ',' where the current documentation says to use ';' in English-locale oocalc works, so I have a functional work-around, and you maintainers can fix the documentation at your leisure. It is going to be quite a task to fix all the examples, I believe. It also works to switch to Danish locale and use ';'. And then when I save the file and switch back to English locale, the ',' pops up. English in Denmark? Well, I do write an occasional English sentence :-) But I still have a Danish keyboard, just to be able to write my own name.

Bug#489746: iputils-arping: The Description in the control file is quite completely wrong
Package: iputils-arping
Version: 3:20071127-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Quite coincidentally, I got to read the Description field of the
iputils-arping
package. I don't know why this hasn't been spotted earlier - but there is not
a single true statement, neither in the first line nor in the rest.
The arping does not send ICMP echo requests, it sends ARP requests. It does
not send them to an ARP address (which is wrong term anyway, but I assume it
means a MAC address) - it sends the requests to an IP address. And it is not
useful when you don't know the IP address...
I have attached a patch with proposed change of the entry. The man(8) arping is
quite fine.

Bug#369994: kpdf cannot open password protected pdf files
Hello. I ran into exactly the same problem - seemingly. My monthly earning statements has started to come to me in an encrypted PDF file, and it looked to me as if kpdf sometimes refused to acknowledge the password. I found this bugreport, and realized I had the same problem as had the submitter - my earning statements are confidential, too. What I did next was to retrieve and compile the source codes for kdegraphics and xpdf for a pair of comparative gdb session. At which time I discovered that the password I was prompted for was that of kdewallet - kpdf is activating kdewallet before it is asking for the pdf password, and if kdewallet has not been activated earlier in the KDE session, it is asking for password. This explains why I sometimes succeeded in opening the files and sometimes not. First I felt a little stupid, but then I realized that this is actual a very easy observation mistake to make. You expect a prompt for a password, you get one, then you don't read the prompt text. Could it be that the submitter of this bug report has made the same observation mistake? If that is the case the bug could be closed. best regards -- Peder Chr.

Bug#475008: openoffice.org: OOo does not work with installed Java
This is a me too, but with additional information. I experienced the same problem as did the submitter. But I realized that the problem popped up on the day when I upgraded the sun-java6 from 6.04-2 to 6.05-1. Downgrading the sun-java6 removed the problem. Upgrading again reintroduced the problem. Killing the ~/openoffice.org2 directory repaired the problem, too, but that is not a good solution. It is an upgrade problem, not a problem with his profile.

Bug#446795: Obtain the local time zone
On Thursday 01 November 2007, you wrote: Instead of reading /etc/timezone, you can obtain the local time zone reading the output of the command: $ date +%Z So I think that it would be enough to substitute in /usr/lib/rootstrap/modules/uml the line [ ! -e $HOST/etc/timezone ] || TARGET_TIMEZONE=$(cat $HOST/etc/timezone) with TARGET_TIMEZONE=`date +%Z` Regards, Giovanni. Thanks for the hint. However, I am sorry to point out, this is not good enough. But then again, I've learned a little bit more since I first filed this report. What I wrote there was not wholly correct. I wrote for me, in Denmark, echo CET /etc/timezone on the host makes rootstrap work just fine. What I really should have written in my original posting was echo Europe/Paris /etc/timezone that is, the tzdata code, not the timezone. The problem with your proposal is that CET only gives the timezone; the tzdata indication gives the DST logic, too. And that is what is needed. I *think* - but I don't *know*, knowing too little about how tzdata is used in modern Debian - that the whole problem can be reduced to copying the host /etc/localtime to the target /etc/localtime. The alternative seems to be copying some of the code in tzdata.postinst, something like: LC_ALL=C LANG=C unset TZ umask 022 . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule db_version 2.0 # Get the values from debconf AREA=Etc ZONE=UTC db_get tzdata/Areas AREA=$RET db_get tzdata/Zones/$AREA ZONE=$RET db_stop chroot $TARGET cp -f /usr/share/zoneinfo/$AREA/$ZONE /etc/localtime I would dearly like second opinions on this topic. best regards -- Peder Chr.

Bug#446797: On new sid/lenny systems there is no /etc/timezone - rootstrap fails
Package: rootstrap Version: 0.3.24-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable in /usr/lib/rootstrap/modules/uml there is this piece of code: # setup the timezone, the same as the host [ ! -e $HOST/etc/timezone ] || TARGET_TIMEZONE=$(cat $HOST/etc/timezone) if [ -e $TARGET/usr/share/zoneinfo/$TARGET_TIMEZONE ] ; then chroot $TARGET cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TARGET_TIMEZONE /etc/localtime echo $TARGET_TIMEZONE $TARGET/etc/timezone fi I flatly admit that I don't really understand the code. If there is no /etc/timezone on the host we do a cat on it... If there is not, we don't assign anything to TARGET_TIMEZONE but we use it anyway... Nevertheless, the fact is that if you build a new debian system based on recent sid/lenny, there is no /etc/timezone file. If you use that system as host for rootstrap, this code snippet fails, causing the entire rootstrap process to fail. There is a work-around; for me, in Denmark, echo CET /etc/timezone on the host makes rootstrap work just fine. Again, I don't undertand why it works - I can't figure out where TARGET_TIMEZONE is assigned to. But it works. Only it took me a lot of time to figure this out. Obviously, timezone information in sid/lenny is stored a place different from /etc/timezone. I have no clue as to where - my timezone is correct, most likely based on the information about location that I gave the Debian installer - but I don't know where it has stored the information, nor how this information should be copied to the guest user-mode-linux file system.

Bug#446106: nvidia-glx fails to install
On Wednesday 10 October 2007, Sven Joachim wrote: Can you please try aptitude instead of apt-get? Aptitude has an interactive resolver that can try several solutions and generally gives more information than apt-get. Thanks, Sven Sven, that was a really good piece of advice. aptitude indicated that the problem was a conflict with package libgl1-mesa-swx11. I could not remove that package without killing xorgkde. But I could install libgl1-mesa-glx - that removed libgl1-mesa-swx11 and a few other libraries while evidently satisfying the necessary dependencies. After that, installing nvidia-glx worked. So we (the fraction of the Debian community using non-free nvidia code) really have two problems: 1) that in this case - which I think will happen to everyone trying to install nvidia-glx on an october 2007 sid debian - installing nvidia-glx is non-trivial exercise. This could be seen as a bug - at least a documentation bug - for nvidia-graphics-driver. The bug is pretty new - I did the same exercise on a different sid debian system in September and did not hit this particular wall. 2) that apt is giving a completely useless error message in this situation, a message that does not help at all figuring out what the real problem is. This could be seen as a bug for apt. Any suggestions as on how to proceed? I don't have a problem any longer - but a lot of other people might. best regards -- Peder Chr.

Bug#446106: nvidia-glx fails to install
Package: nvidia-glx Version: 100.14.19-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable I start by stating that I am not at all sure that this is a bug in nvidia-glx - it might even be a bug in apt. But I feel I have to start here, to get some input to solve the problem. At any rate, the package *does* fail to install. I work on a newly created sid debian system, an Intel core 2 duo CPU using i386 (not amd64) distribution. I have successfully built and installed a kernel module package for the correct version of nvidia, kernel and hardware: ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.22-2-686 100.14.19-1 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (Incidentally, this particular package has worked with nvidia-glx on another Debian system. So I know it is OK.) Then, when I attempt to install nvidia-glx I get this message: pcndeb:~# apt-get install nvidia-glx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdelibs4c2a: Depends: xbase-clients but it is not going to be installed xserver-xorg-core: Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages And now I am completely lost. What have these four packages to do with nvidia-glx, and what is it that apt-get is trying to tell me? Yes, nvidia-glx depends on xserver-xorg-core, but it *is* installed, with proper version, and so are the other three packages mentioned: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 core libraries and binaries for all KDE applications ii xbase-clients1:7.3+2 miscellaneous X clients - metapackage ii x11-common 1:7.3+2 X Window System (X.Org) infrastructure ii xserver-xorg-core2:1.4-3 Xorg X server - core server The other packages on which nvidia-glx depends are also installed, with proper versions: ii libc62.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2X11 miscellaneous extension library I am no novice in using apt-get and solving dependency problems, but this problem has stopped me cold.

Bug#438568: FTBFS: fail to build when linux-libc-dev on buildings system is 2.6.22
Package: user-mode-linux Version: 2.6.21-1um-1 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source This is a slightly tricky FTBFS report. The fundamental bug is probably of upstream origin - I have had similar problems building recent user-mode-linux'es under other distros. The actual problem is, that if I try to do a dpkg-buildpackage on a recent sid debian, it fails (I cannot do a pbuilder build because of #436388 and the fact that linux-source-2.6.21 is no longer found on the debian servers). The failure is a simple compilation failure: gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/um/os-Linux/.aio.o.d -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Os -D__arch_um__ -DSUBARCH=\i386\ -Dvmap=kernel_vmap -Din6addr_loopback=kernel_in6addr_loopback -march=i486 -mtune=generic -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -ffreestanding -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -fno-unit-at-a-time -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -g -fno-stack-protector -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -Iarch/um/include -I/home/pcn/debian_src/user-mode-linux-2.6.21-1um/linux-source-2.6.21/arch/um/include/skas -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DHAVE_AIO_ABI -c -o arch/um/os-Linux/aio.o arch/um/os-Linux/aio.c arch/um/os-Linux/aio.c: In function 'do_aio': arch/um/os-Linux/aio.c:80: error: unknown field 'aio_reserved3' specified in initializer Now, why is this struct member 'aio_reserved3' missing? If you check the file aio_abi.h in the building directory linux-source-2.6.21/include/linux, the struct member is certainly defined. But if you look more closely at the 'gcc' command above, you will notice that it does not include an option -Iinclude - so the line '#include linux/aio_abi.h' in the aio.c makes the compilation include the file /usr/include/aio_abi.h - which belongs to the debian package linux-libc-dev which is now version 2.6.22-3. And the struct member in question - aio_reserved3 - is present in the linux 2.6.21 source but not in the linux 2.6.22 sources. So the fundamental problem is not that a struct member has been removed from a struct between 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 - it is that the compilation command is missing the -Iinclude option. It is quite obvious that the building of user-mode-linux - or any kernel building, actually - may not depend on whatever is currently installed in /usr/include - it must take all include files from the kernel build directory itself. Regrettably, I am not sufficiently competent in reading Makefile to figure out a patch to solve the problem. But I am pretty certain that the problem is not Debian-specific - it is a basic problem from upstream that just haven't been noticed because the vast majority of kernel builds - including UML kernel builds - happen on systems that have a linux-libc-dev installed that matches the kernel built. It is wrong nevertheless. I hope someone can figure this out and fix it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages user-mode-linux depends on: ii uml-utilities 20060323-3 User-mode Linux (utility programs) user-mode-linux recommends no packages. -- no debconf information Peder Chr.

I have now got my hands on a Pentium-based computer, and, to my big surprise, the problem is *not* manifest on the Pentium-based PC. Let me recapture: the problem is, that linux 2.6.18 kernel patched with the skas patch distributed by Debian package linux-patch-skas (which is really just the skas patch from blaisorblade's workshop) does not work with the (x86-variant agnostic) user-mode-linux distributed by Debian. The user-mode-linux hangs consistently somewhere in the boot process, described in a little more detalins in my original report. But I have only observed the problem on my AMD Athlon XP 2200+; today, when I try to do the same thing on an Intel Pentium (it is a Pentium M) it works just fine. Whether it works on the AMD or not has nothing to do with whether I build the host kernel as -686 or -k7 - the problem is manifest in both cases. So it is related to the chip rather than to the compilation, I think. So it seems that the problem is local to both 2.6.18 *and* the AMD Athlon CPU; I realize that this does not exactly makes it easier to figure out what happens. Please, if I can be of any assistance, tell me how. The problem is easy to reproduce, and even though I don't know much about the internals of user-mode-linux - I am just a happy user of user-mode-linux for testing and similar purposes - I do now a little about how to drive a gdb around in a guest kernel. If someone would tell me what to look for, I might be able to figure out at least where in the boot sequence the guest is hanging best regards -- Peder Chr.

To affirm it I need to investigate a bit more. Did you test the just-compiled kernel (with SKAS patch) with an pre-build uml instance to check if it works? If I remember well you can find here, in http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/, some uml instances. Anyway what is your rootstrap.conf configuration? Cheers SteX Hello Stefano, thanks for your answer. Yes, suspecting rootstrap is a natural thought, but I think it is not the case. First, I did also try to start user-mode-linux directly, with the parameters derived from rootstrap. Second, I did also try a root_fs successfully built with rootstrap under the non-SKAS kernel; starting user-mode-linux under the SKAS kernel it also hang at precisely the mentioned place. Third, since writing the report, I have found time to pick up the Debian 2.6.17-9 source package and perform the same exercise with that. And under my just-compiled 2.6.17-9 + SKAS kernel user-mode-linux runs just fine! Same guest user-mode-linux (2.6.18-1um-2), same rootstrap, even same linux-patch-skas package, fortunately, as it holds patches for all older kernel sources, too. So the problem is clearly related to 2.6.18 - either the kernel source (linux-source-2.6.18 version 2.6.18-2) or the patch. I have a correction to the original report; well, the report is correct, but I had made a mistake, which I corrected with no effect to the problem.

Anyway, please find attached my rootstrap.conf - not that I think it is the cause of the problem. The conf is based on having a squid running on the host system, with the lines acl user-mode-linux src 172.16.0.0/255.240.0.0 http_access allow user-mode-linux added suitable places in the squid.conf.

Apparently udev is failing to load the correct alsa driver for your sound card on its own, and discover 2 happens to load the right driver. This is not a reason for us to install discover 2 by default along with udev; it is a reason to get udev or the kernel fixes so the right module is loaded by it. To do that you'll need to provide lspci and lspci -n information as well as dmesg output and info about what sound card module discover 2 loads (and possibly what unnucessary sound card module udev loads). Thank for your answer; sorry that I have taken so long following up. I needed to find a time slot to do a new full installation, still based on etch beta 2 installation disk, and without manually installing discover2. I have now done that, and the problem, whatever it was, has completely disappeared. My best guess is that it was a udev problem, and that the development of the udev package has solved the problem at some time between early April and now - eight versions has been issued in the interval. So my suggestion is that this bug report should be closed. The bug was real at the reporting time, but no more, and it has nothing to do with debian-installer anyway. thanks for your efforts -- Peder Chr.

Bug#365688: dependency chain is broken
On Thursday 04 May 2006 08:29, Steve Langasek wrote: reopen 365688 thanks Well, I'm afraid I have to reopen this bug. It turns out that it was never really an xaw3dg bug at all: emacs21 build-depends only on xaw3dg-dev, but expects to find X11/Xaw/Paned.h, which has never been shipped by xaw3dg-dev but only incidentally dragged in by a (wrong) dependency on libxaw7-dev. Perhaps xaw3dg-dev should actually be installing its own headers as X11/Xaw/*, I don't know; but in practice this is not the interface that Xaw3d provides, upstream or in Debian, so emacs21 needs to either include X11/Xaw3d/* instead of X11/Xaw/, or build-depend on libxaw7-dev. I have a very simple fix for this problem. I don't know if the fix for some reason is not acceptable - but at least it is working: Simply add libxaw-headers to the build-depends. That's where the X11/Xaw/Paned.h file lives, after all, according to Contents-i386.gz. And I know the solution works - I built it in an updated unstable pbuilder on May 2nd.

Bug#364583: No more sound - me too.
I had the same reaction after my dist-upgrade of unstable as of today (April 24th). No sound. I use aumix to adjust the mixer (I don't know about alsamixer). All my settings are zeroed; but contrary to what the original submitter of this TR observes, using aumix to adjust the settings to something normal does not help - I *still* have no sound, and the settings do not survive reboot. There is nothing wrong with the driver load and udev setup of devices - it works as always. But I fear that the problem may not be exclusively related to ALSA. I downgraded all the alsa packages alsa-base_1.0.11-1_all.deb libasound2-dev_1.0.11-2_i386.deb libasound2_1.0.11-2_i386.deb alsa-utils_1.0.11-1_i386.deb libasound2-doc_1.0.11-2_all.deb linux-sound-base_1.0.11-1_all.deb to the 1.0.10 versions. Now my mixer settings survive reboot - as before. But still I have no sound! I suspect that there may be problems with sound in the KDE upgrade that also arrived today: 3.5.2-1 to 3.5.2-2. I haven't yet tried to back out that upgrade (it is pretty big!). For the record, my sound is built-in on an AsRock K7S8X, version 3.0 motherboard; it uses (according to lspci) SiS sound controller. My kernel is the current unstable Debian 2.6.16 (2.6.16-9). Honestly, I consider upgrading the level of this TR to something release-critical.

I may be a little rough here, but with KDE being one of the two major desktops in Debian GNU/Linux, I certainly expect the sound system to work with arts. It did so until yesterday!

Bug#361003: debian-installer: installer fails to configure sound in a way that works with KDE
Package: debian-installer Severity: normal This report is about etch installer beta 2. I start by admitting that it may not be an installer problem at all; it may be that sound/KDE does not work at all in current sid. In that case I hope you installer guys can redirect me - it could be a kernel problem, a udev problem, or a KDE problem. I have a PC - a few years old - with an ASRock K7S8X mother board with built-in Intel 810 sound. Sound has worked fine with KDE in a sarge installation on this PC. But not now, with linux-image-2.6.16-1-686 version 2.6.16-5, udev version 0.088-2, and KDE at 3.5.2. The installer doesn't ask or otherwise do anything about sound. But when KDE is started, (with sound hardware configured to autodetect), the message is that /dev/dsp does not exist. And that is correct - it doesn't. The interesting thing is that the kernel has loaded a bunch of sound modules: % lsmod | grep snd snd_intel8x0 29436 0 snd_ac97_codec 82784 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus2048 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm74408 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 20292 1 snd_pcm snd46080 4 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 8672 2 i810_audio,snd snd_page_alloc 9800 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm So it is not that the kernel/udev hasn't recognized the sound hardware, or has recognized it wrongly. The problem is somewhere else, probably some missing software or missing configuration. Or perhaps just missing documentation. I searched the installer FAQ, the installer manual and the HOWTOs on sound. No joy. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#350183: udev (in contrast to hotplug) does not recognize multiple ethernets consistently
Package: udev Version: 0.082-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable I have a system with an Asus motherboard with an on-board ethernet socket, and two RealTek PCI boards. Using hotplug, this works all the time. Using udev (which I was forced into today, with the new release of pcmcia-cs), the boards are inconsistently recognized. Several different boots has yielded different namings of the boards, and, worse, in some of the boots only one or two of the boards were recognized. I realize, from a cursory study of the documentation, that it is possible to learn how to formulate udev rules that may work around this problem. I could probably even figure out how to do it. But I don't think that the package is ready for release if if does not have default rules to handle this rather simple physical configuration. I am very willing to provide additional information and work with you maintainers to solve this problem. It only takes a few seconds to replace hotplug with udev, and to switch back. best regards Peder Chr.

Bug#350182: pcmcia-cs upgrade to 3.2.8-6 requires installation of udev instead of hotplug
Package: pcmcia-cs Version: 3.2.8-5.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable The new version of pcmcia-cs - 3.2.8-6 - unconditionally requires pcmciautils which in it turn requires udev. udev kicks out hotplug. As udev is not currently on an acceptable level of stability, I don't think this is acceptable, even for unstable. Certainly, this requirement should not be allowed into etch before the time where udev is more mature. On my system, the installation renders the entire system more or less unusable because the udev doesn't recognize my ethernet cards consistently. And, yes, I am going to file a bug report on that immediately. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages pcmcia-cs depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.69 Debian configuration management sy ii dmidecode 2.7-2 Dump Desktop Management Interface ii libc6 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii lsb-base 3.0-14 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-1tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii psmisc22.1-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy Versions of packages pcmcia-cs recommends: ii hotplug 0.0.20040329-25 Linux Hotplug Scripts -- debconf information: * pcmcia-cs/start_pcmcia: true * pcmcia-cs/run_probe: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#347694: kivio will not upgrade to 1.4.2-5+b1 because kivio-data is not present
Package: kivio Version: 1:1.4.2-5 Severity: serious Justification: unknown the subject says it all. kivio-data for 1.4.2-5+b1 is missing in unstable, both in the Packages file and on the mirrors. Incidentally, the source for koffice 1.4.2-1+b1 is missing, too, so I have had no chance to figure out myself why this may be. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages kivio depends on: ii kivio-data1:1.4.2-5 data files for Kivio flowcharting ii koffice-libs 1:1.4.2-5 common libraries and binaries for ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-6 GCC support library ii libstdc++64.0.2-6The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii python2.3 2.3.5-9An interactive high-level object-o kivio recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#333839: KDE has passed the latest C++ transition, now would be a really good time to upload a new lyx
I realize that the subject of this bug report says ia64; but it really hits all architectures. I appreciate that all those C++ transitions are making life hard on maintainers - but today kmail came out and that allowed me to do a major dist-upgrade to my sid. The only conflict left was lyx, because of the dependency on libaiksaurus, which is upgraded to the latest C++ version, and is used by other packages. I took the source from lyx 1.3.6-1 and recompiled it - the only change was in the changelog to get a new version. And it installed nicely. So now would be a good time to do an upload. Thanks for the good work. -- Peder Chr. Nørgaard e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gefionsvej 19 spejder-e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DK-8230 Åbyhøj tel: +45 87 44 11 99 Denmark mob: +45 30 91 84 31
