Bug#968402: WPA3 failures in bullseye still...

2021-11-16 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)

I'm  noticing bullseye still failing to connect to WPA3 where the server
and client driver and wpasupplicant should all support it.


I'm wondering if issues above are more around this issue:-

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/638

Apparently 1.30.2 network-manager should sort this, but that
is too new for the version in bullseye.  Currently building a
backport to test =).

Bug#996290: Fix tested successfully, correct for bullseye?

2021-11-14 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)

I can conform that applying

https://github.com/irssi/irssi/commit/db2fed

to the irssi_1.2.3-1 debian source, builds and works on
debian bullseye i386 and amd64.

I have found no regressions, use 'saved' TLS+SASL network configs
*and* ad-hoc TLS network configs, both of which now work fine
in face of disconnects, as opposed to only the former.

I am of the view this is worthy of a routine update to the irssi
package as SSL in IRC is increasingly used/encouraged/needed for
certain auth types, and manually /connect 'ing  is not at all
a rare configuration, as well as the point that this is a relatively
simple fix to a relatively annoying and confusing problem!

This ad-hoc TLS config has been fine in previous debian releases,
just not now, all of a sudden, bullseye regression essentially!.

This could go into bullseye-updates for next point release, in my
view.

I'd like to hear from maintainer, and happy to post package files
if useful for others to view/help test.

I believe, the messages/behaviour was slowing the system or so,
not just giving messages, at least I have seen this on X201T.


The workaround is to boot with kernel parameter  intel_iommu=igfx_off

e.g.   set in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_iommu=igfx_off"
and then  re-run  sudo update-grub and reboot.

[I tend to remove "quiet splash" but you could of course have
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off"


Playing the Git-Bisect game would be helpful if somebody could
find *exactly* where the problem was introduced ..

Bug#899086: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu: completely fails to detect AMD RX 550 (which uses the Polaris 12 chipset) unless firmware-amd-graphics package installed

2021-06-20 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
Alan and bug 899086,

Please try testing if this situation is improved or fixed in debian
testing (to soon become bullseye) images, similarly to as you did
before.

In fact the cdimage address you linked seems to be still exactly correct!.

I'd like to see bug-report either closed or updated for bullseye.
Given all the changes/massive improvements in amdgpu modesetting
I expect the situation to be considerably improved, at least!.

Bug#890357: Graphical issues with an RX 480

2021-06-20 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
Can you confirm this issue is/is-not relevant any more on either of:-
* Debian Bullseye (testing)
* Debian Buster (stable) with the backported version of kernel
(5.10.0-0.bpo.7)  installed.

Amdgpu has improved a long way since the time this bug report was
created, and would be good to get the bug closed or issue forwarded
upstream if still relevant.

2021-06-19 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
GSR,

Buster now has xserver-xorg-core version  2:1.20.4-1+deb10u3
[in-between the versions you quoted] and bullseye now has a newer
newer  2:1.20.11-1 version.

Given the date of your bug-report, it looks like you had the old
2018 version of the xorg-xserver package even though the
buster package tas been updated twice since then to 2019 and
2020 versions.

See Changelog:-

https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/x/xorg-server/xorg-server_1.20.4-1+deb10u3_changelog

In short, I think this bug report should now be closed unless there
is an apparent issue specifically in buster or bullseye now [??] ?

Bug#900087: AMD RX 550 often locks up

2021-05-30 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
I would generally say this looks like problems more in kernel
and firmware land, than bugs in the xserver driver to me...

I would, generally note a lot of wider AMD instability/issues
(that Alan) talks about improved a lot in 5.8-ubuntu
and 5.10-debian (bullseye and buster-backports) kernels.
Even 5.4-ubuntu kernels still have problem with some newer
Ryzen systems.

In short, I'd recommend testing debian buster-backports
version of linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 and
report back on this bug.  In particular -- can this
bug now be closed, anyhow?  How could debian warn
users to update BIOS/firmware?

Bug#942318: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu: VGA output is not detected in Radeon R7 (Carrizo) only the HDMI works. Motherboard MSI A68HM-E33 v2

2021-05-30 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)


I can say, I understood a limitation of amdgpu kernel driver
has been not supporting VGA/analogue outputs in some (or all?)
cases.  I understood this is part of the reason it is not the
default driver over radeon for some cards.


However, given many other other experiences and bugreports
with amdgpu modesetting problems, and looking at this bug,
I would recommend trying newer kernel in buster:-

enable backports  https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

apt-get -t buster-backports install linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64


This should get you a 5.10 series kernel which could well behave
better for you (let us know!).

--Simon


p.s.  the backports kernel is lagging behind a little,
hopefully 5.10.0-0.bpo.6 and 5.10.0-0.bpo.7 will come
out soon.



Bug#892982: system freeze after lock screen/switched off moniturs/spontaneously

2021-05-30 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)


I have had first-hand experience of these Xorg crashes and lockups
in combination with either sleep or un-powering monitors.

I would 100% agree with Hermann that this is highly likely to be
improved with kernel update.

In short, I would go to *at least* the buster-backports kernel i.e.

https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

apt-get -t buster-backports install linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64


Over the recent 5.10 debian kernel provisions, I have seen incremental
improvement in this issue, to the point that now this seems to have
gone away.  I still experience complex MST monitor arrangement
reordering the displayport- virtual numbers (fixed with xrandr script)
but NO LONGER crashes needing reboot or restart-X11 like before...

In any case, please report back how 5.10 series kernel does/does-not
avoid the issue occuring for you.

--Simon




p.s. The buster-backports kernel [5.10.0-0.bpo.5-amd64] is lagging
 behind a little.  Hopefully .bpo.6 and .bpo.7 will come out
 soon.  I notice debian-deriv MXlinux have put out their own
 5.10.0-7mx kernel already.



Bug#974581: np longer able to set native resolution of Dell U3014

2021-05-30 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)


Given some other experiences with amdgpu modesetting
problems, and looking at this bug, I would say:-

1) Please try updating all packages and reboot and
 try again, kernel should be now  4.19.0-16

2) Secondly, enable backports
 https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
 and then:-

apt-get -t buster-backports install linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64


This should get you a 5.10 series kernel.  My strong experience with
amdgpu has been that a whole lot of modesetting, sleep, etc etc.
issues are massively improved in 5.10 kernel series of late,
irrespective of the xserver-xorg version in use.

NB: At boot-time, in normal cases, GRUB menu should allow you
to 'select' which kernel you boot into i.e you should be
able to select between 5.10.0.bpo.?? and 4.19.0-16 kernel.

I note, the backports kernel is lagging behind a little,
hopefully 5.10.0-0.bpo.6 and 5.10.0-0.bpo.7 will come
out soon.

Bug#987388: Crash of amdgpu on Debian 11 Bullseye

2021-05-29 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
Dear all on this bug,


I would like to briefly point out these crashes are showing kernel
errors, the kernel / amdgpu modesetting seems to be a very significant
part of the problem if I am not mistaken, this bug being against
the X-server component.

I would say, from the deb-10 / MX19.4 side of things with a GCN1.1
series amdgpu card,  updated 5.10 kernels (i.e. backports of deb11
bullseye kernels) have incrementally improved problems with crashing,
resuming from sleep, and so-on. With 5.10.0-7 I seem to be able to
reliably unpower and repower monitors and manage to keep X working
without crash and just xrandr fix up monitor layout.  Similar applies
to sleep/resume situation!.

I know the kernel amdgpu modesetting driver is a huge part of that work.

In short, I would highly recommend trying different kernels on your
deb11 testing machines and see how that affects your situation, and
in any case report which kernels are in use in the crash scenario.


Debian11 bullseye currently has 5.10.0-6 and I understand the 5.10.0-7
packages are to hit bullseye soon (through hard freeze).

5.10.0-7 is in sid and can be manually downloaded, or installed via
*temporary* adding sid to sources.list and then removing from sources
(or pinning to avoid all packages going to sid).

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=linux-image-5.10.0-7-amd64


Also, I would note, testing the older linux-image-4.19.0-16  may be
worthwhile, I get impression this (buster) kernel should nonetheless
'work' with bullseye and may assist with the 'it used to work' scenario.


Hope that helps,

--Simon



Bug#984696: courier-mta 1.0.14-2 on bullseye (also 1.0.16-2) not startable/dpkg configurable.

2021-03-07 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
Package: courier-mta
Version: 1.0.16-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


On current debian bullseye, courier-mta is not startable, looks like
some kind of
problem in init scripts (but could be executables/environment), as per
system info
and console log below.

Even with all courier packages purged,  /etc/courier  /???/lib/courier
directories
completely removed, and start from scratch, installation of courier-base
is OK but
installing courier-mta consistently fails.



This is reproducible on a buster system upgraded to bullseye (i386 and
sysvinit-core
and no usrmerge) e.g.:-


Preconfiguring packages ...
Selecting previously unselected package courier-mta.
(Reading database ... 42620 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../courier-mta_1.0.14-2_i386.deb ...

Setting up courier-mta (1.0.14-2) ...

/etc/courier/esmtpd.pem.pem already exists.

returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.4-2) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 courier-mta
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)




ALSO (though not quite the same) on a current debian amd64 bullseye
chroot (not upgraded)
systemd-based host system as well.   In that circumstance you get various
"Running in chroot, ignoring request." messages for start (which
otherwise passes even
if mta may not be started), but similar error shows up upon trying to
remove/purge
courier-mta instead, with error:-


Removing courier-mta (1.0.14-2) ...
Running in chroot, ignoring request.
Stopping Courier MSA server: esmtpd-msa.
invoke-rc.d: initscript courier-msa, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing package courier-mta (--remove):

dpkg: too many errors, stopping

Running in chroot, ignoring request.
Running in chroot, ignoring request.
Running in chroot, ignoring request.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 courier-mta
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.




System info below is from trying the sid/second version (just the
courier packages) but exactly the same failure happens either way.
This clearly needs looking at for bullseye release.

**NB** Have discovered that, at least for the case of new-installing
courier-mta 1.0.16-2, adding "exit 0" on the end of
/etc/init.d/courier-msa   *seems* to be sufficient to allow dpkg
configure to work, and courier-mta then seems to start okay.

I have considered the non-systemd and non-usrmerge (mkdir path)
bugs I could find for courier-mta but these don't seem to apply
to this circumstance.


This clearly makes the package unusable on bullseye and needs looking
at for release.  Lots of courier-mta users will be "upgrade" case, I
strongly suspect, so working for upgrade cases in older configs is
especially important!

"You can find older versions of the kernel in various locations,
including http://snapshot.debian.org.;


Where else are these "various locations" !?!?  Can they be linked
onto above wiki page?  In this case some earlier 5.5's would be
clearly useful test-cases.


Another point that I'd like to see on above page, is -- clear
information on where kernel bugs *should* be filed or *are*
filed with explanation.  I.e.  src:linux  linux-image-amd64
linux-image-VERSION-amd64  and so-on and so-forth!.


Another point that I'd like to see on above page, is clear
information what to do to search for existing kernel bugs,
as "reportbug kernel" would NOT find 962003 for me, this
is related to the above confusion really.
