Bug#725284:

2015-02-27 Thread email . bug
Control: reopen 725284

Udev rules are only trigged when devices appear/disapper,
but not when the kernel suspends (with the device staying 
present and only entering a low power state)

A systemd unit file is required to recover all hdparm settings that
devices wrongly initialize back to factory defaults after suspend.

Bug#779370: hdparm + systemd: old apm/pm-utils hooks not working/migrated

2015-02-27 Thread email . bug
Package: hdparm
Severity: serious

The apm/pm-utils suspend/resume functionalities, provided by shipping the 
files 20hdparm and 95hdparm-apm scripts, do not work with systemd.
(missing systemd unit files)

To allow setting defaults I would suggest to support wildcards in hdparm.conf.
And ship with visible defaults like this:

# avoid excessive hard disk load-cycling
ata-* {
  apm = 254 
}

Maybe apm_on_battery and apm_on_ac settings?
And have those defaults switched on state changes.

Wondering about why nothing happened when hot-plugging a

Thank you for the kind response and information.
Looking forward to it.

With auto-assembly support you have a much better
description then my using udev rules.

Basicly, I think it is about moving the assembly functionality from the 
startup scripts to event driven rules, and leaving only some
watchdog functionality in the initramfs and regular startup 
scripts that degrades the arrays if they are not getting assembled.

I found a related page that lists some points and pseudo code:

Bug#707226: [pkg-wine-party] package wine does not install wine on amd64

2013-06-02 Thread email . bug
  If you believe in that solution, please feel free to provide a patch.
 Complaints without action tend to be counter-productive time wasters.

Exactly. That would surely be the answer if filing this for packages that 
depend on wine.

Exept, wine-party is resposible for a package that currently suffers from not
being able to fulfill the dependency and simply hasn't put the workaround's
(hello world message) in the right place yet.

Sorry, I won't bother other packages' devs that are not in the position to 
throw in
a debconf question in the right place, to make sure all *admins* are 
getting informed properly.

Nevermind, as an admin I reported the issue after having gone through troubles, 
and it
is the pkg-wine-party decision to appreciate it or not.

The thing is as simple as package wine does not install wine on amd64.
Install time informations would surely be appreciated if only an incomplete 
installation happened.

Bug#707226: package wine does not insall wine on amd64)

2013-06-01 Thread email . bug
reopen: 707226

 If you install the wine package instead of wine-bin, you will get the
 wine64-bin package,

Yes, that is also what the bug title says and exaclty what happened by
installing a package that depends on wine.

 which will present the above helpful info to the
 user.

Unfortunately not, and  it was't helpfull. It seems rather misleading have a 
package
that seems to be installed correctly but executing it will not produce its
functionality.

The dependecy is actually only fullfilled by providing the true wine 
functionality.

Thus the suggestion to let the wine64-bin package execute a post-inst script or 
similar,
to install  the 32bit version, instead of pretending to be wine and delivering 
only a string.

Bug#707226: package wine does not insall wine on amd64)

2013-06-01 Thread email . bug
 
Hello,
thanks for your answer.

 It is impossible for a package to install another from its postinst;
 dpkg has a lock to prevent multiple simultaneous invocations, and
 postinst scripts are run under the dpkg lock. Perhaps the postinst
 could enable i386 multiarch,

If selecting a package for later install would be possible (maybe 
through PackageKit), purposely triggering a failure and retry
may be enough.

 but that is an intrusive change and it
 would be hard to ensure it would work (e.g. if the user has configured
 architecture-specific mirrors for apt); it seems better to me to just
 tell the user what to do, until i386 multiarch becomes the default for
 amd64...

It isn't? Will this resolve the deps correctly instead of installing a fake 
wine64-bin?

Since wine64-bin does not ensure wine will work at all, I would at least 
suggest to use
a high priority debconf question to draw attention to it, if no automated 
solution is possible.


(My reopen attempt did not work out. I think it wold be good to let the report 
open.
 When trying to figure out what the problem was I came accross a closed bug
 that mentioned this, but I was lead on, because it suggested wine64-bin fixed 
it.)

Correct, the message was never displayed.

As reported, I installed a frontend that depends on wine, and strange error

the cross-arch dependecy can not yet be defined and fulfilled properly.

 Which front end are you using?

It was q4wine

 message should pop up via
 xmessage, and if not it will be dumped to stdout.  So if your front
 end is preventing that, the issue should be fixed there.

Unfortunately, missing files already cause errors during the frontend

 Or having the front end fix their assumptions.  Please consider filing

Please sleep over this. This sounds funny to me.

The debian wine package maintainers want upstream software
to adapt to a debian wine package that does not install the files that the 
package claims to 
fulfill the dependency for?

Pushing patches upstream instead of providing a package with a fixed workaround
until the cross-arch dependecy can be properly resolved?
With humor it can give a good laugh.

system to a wheezy xfce system.
Found at the end of this thread: 
debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12t=140311

This request seems quite justified especially for people 
in the world where only older hardware is available.

The method:

* removing gnome
aptitude purge `dpkg --get-selections | grep gnome | cut -f 1`
aptitude -f install
aptitude purge `dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall | cut -f 1`
aptitude -f install

* dist-upgrade

* installing xfce4
aptitude install xfce4

Bug#678834: permission fix for public shares

2013-01-08 Thread email . bug

The experience after a couple of months showed that the solution that sets 
inherit permissions = yes as default works very well.

I'd suggest to implement that change as a fix. (Either in the default config 
file shipped, or better, by adjusting the fallback value that samba uses if the 
option is not defined in the configuraiton.) Adjusting a default in this way 
also seems to be the easiest of the options.

I did not experience interference with manually defined shares, but if there is 
a possibility to define it as a default that applies only to usershares (maybe 
a template file?) that might be an option as well.

Bug#678834: guest users create locally inaccessible files owned by nobody

2012-06-24 Thread email . bug
Package: samba

Collaboration with guests is broken, and a truel solution is needed. 

Sleeping over it, the idea I proposed in #678616 (a different guest account 
definition)
really isn't solving the problem in general. Its way too static, to be right 
for everybody.

For net usershares at least, samba has the information who created the share,
thus it could use that when samba guests are creating files.

Ideally, the file could still be identifiable to the samba guest with
its group ownership set to samba-guest.

Bug#678616: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#678616: default guest user nobody

2012-06-23 Thread email . bug

 But the samba package doesn't create any file belonging to nobody,
 and doesn't even allow doing so, as it doesn't create any writable
 public share.

If you have local users on the machine, it is a typical scenario that
a usershare is created (More often through the filemanger features
than using net usershare directly.)

To avoid permission hassle and giving out of passwords, guest
write access may be granted. (Could be in a temporary setup or
in a secure environment.)

What happens now is, the samba guest saves a file in the
public share, and no user (but the literal nobody) has 
access to the file (not even the user that created the share).

However, not providing a proper default guest mapping
probably breaks all default installs quite into pieces, not
only usershare setups.

As the nobody user and nogroup should by definition not
contain any real members, I don't think the old default
serves anybody.

Just because the default is not well chosen everybody
has to stumble over the problem, find a guest mapping
and adjust the smb.conf, that is otherwise working
very well for out of the box usershare creation
now, thanks to your latest adaption!

IMHO dropping privileges to, and becoming nobody may make sense for
part of (network) deamons that don't create files, to shield
real data from them, but not for a file server with the objective
to write files on behalf of users.


 Any admin is entitled to do whatever customization suits his|her needs
 and,

Of course, but it does not mean that debian should not come with a solid
default configuration.
I believe we have come a long way towards a robust default already, 
please think about tacking the last thing as well.

Bug#678616: default guest user nobody

2012-06-23 Thread email . bug
Package: samba

The default user used by samba to create files of guest users currently
is nobody, however the filesystem should never contain anything 
belonging to the nobody/nogroup. (see Bug #290623)

Other reasons to rethink the impersonation of nobody, are practical
problems in accessing files created by samba guest users.

May I suggest to introduce a proper samba-guest user and
default to create files of guests on the local filesystem as samba-guest
and the (general)  users group. (with the default umask 002)

As all real users are supposed to be in the users group this should 
give users full access to the files locally just as through samba.
While at the same time the files are still inaccessible to potentially
vulnerable (system user) deamon processes.

Bug#672523: please include preserve /home functionality

2012-05-12 Thread email . bug
 I'm less convinced. Debian is meant for being upgraded easily, so
 dooing a clean reinstall is not really that a benefit. But, still,

Right, once, you have a clean debian install sure you just upgrade.
Yet, preserve /home (or rather del sys-files)  provides a nice
way to get to the point of a clean debian install, from another 
distro, an unsupported release, or otherwise unclean or corrpted
system in a single filesystem setup (those getting more common with
btrfs?).


  And this even seems to suggest there might already exist debian-installer
 patches:
  https://wiki.edubuntu.org/komputes/HowToDebianInstallerPreserveHome
 
 I don't really see where this page suggests this. It gives a step by
 step method, using the manual partitioning methodwhich I think
 is logical for such purpose.

Yes, as the spec stated the UI difference is rather subtle. The debian-installer
message one can see on that page is:
 The file system on /dev/sda1 assigned to / has not been marked for formatting.
Directories containing system files (/boot, /etc, /usr, /var, ...) that already 
exist 
under any defined mountpoint will be deleted during the install.

However, when I tried this with the squeeze debian-installer, it told me the
targed is unclean and warned about possible conflicts, which will of course
occur if the old system files are not deleted. (Clearly a different behavior.)
 
  What exactly would you like to see changed?

 I would like to see the same system files will be deleted  behavior in 
debian.

From the screen shots it seems some patches should already exist for the
debian-installer to support this, but my tests showed they are not applied
in debian. I have looked for a repo where the patches may be available, 
but could not locate them.

Bug#672497: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#672497: Bug#672497: full support for usershares (public shares)

2012-05-12 Thread email . bug
 
 My concern is that map to guest not only affects user shares but
 also regular shares.

Let's see. This may mostly only be the case with the map to guest =
bad user option.
(Because usershare allow guests = yes is usershare specific.)

What happens without the bad user mapping?
Clients have problems to connect, even if a share is explicitly set
to be public.
The bad user mapping seems needed to make public shares work 
effectively in all setups I know.
(Of course no no public shares are set up by default.)
Map to guest should introduce no new risk vector,
because clients could always just try the nobody account directly. 


 Do we really want to change upstream defaults for our default installs
 to make it easier to enable a functionality that makes sense mostly
 for desktop users?

Many server setups may not use local user accounts at all. Nevertheless,
it should be safer to run processes and shares under a restricted user
account than with root permissions. Also note that, in order for a local
user to be able to create a share at all, the user must first be added to the
sambashare group.

Bug#672497: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#672497: full support for usershares (public shares)

2012-05-12 Thread email . bug

 we don't break existing setups and we
 provide additional functionality.

Yes, it should be fine to adjust the compile time defaults,
to avoid config file handling, and to require to set as few options
as possible explicitly in the default config in debian and in the
installations.

Thanks again.

Bug#672497: full support for usershares (public shares)

2012-05-11 Thread email . bug
Package: samba

The default samba configuration in debian allows regular users to 
create shares with net usershare and its (filemanager) GUI frontends.
(as of #443230)

However, users are not able to make their shares public.
(e.g. nautilus-shares option is grayed out)

To enabling this funtionality, one still needs to add the following settings
manually:
usershare allow guests = yes
map to guest = bad user

As the system shares defined in the default config have explicit 
guest ok = no lines, it looks to me that it should not produce a problem to 
add these settings to the default global section, or define them at compile 
time.

Nevertheless, to limit the sharing to files owned by the creator of a share, 
the following may be a suitable default:
usershare owner only = yes

Please, adjust the defaults for full support for usershares.

Bug#672523: please include preserve /home functionality

2012-05-11 Thread email . bug

Package: debian-installer

Downstream, I have found the possibility to do a clean re-install over an 
exitising
installation very useful, and I think it may also be useful with debian.

For example, if you need to upgrade laptops that have rather small (thus 
only a swap+root partition setup) and full harddisks to the next release.
(Especially if you will also need to change the desktop environment,
to maintain the uability. Then you can get rid of the old DE by only installing 
the new one.)

The preserve /home functionallity has been used with ubuntu for
quite some time now.

The spec can be found here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityPreserveHome

And this even seems to suggest there might already exist debian-installer 
patches:

 samba package settings to diverge from upstream defaults

I understand that the usershares option was already a deviation from
the upstream default, to enable usershares. The public share options
might just have been forgotten at that time.

BTW for ad-hock shares II prefer public shares, because it does not
require to enter my valid userdata into unknown computers.

(I found the owner only option I mentioned is already the upstream default,
so no change there.)

Bug#672539: RFP: thunar-shares-plugin -- samba usershare support for thunar filemanager (XFCE)

2012-05-11 Thread email . bug
Package: wnpp
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-xfce-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org

The thunar-shares-plugin allows to set up samba usershares in the properties
dialog of directories of the thunar file manager.

The thunarx-2 branch at
http://git.xfce.org/thunar-plugins/thunar-shares-plugin/
is said to work with recent versions.

Just found out you could adopt this available package:

http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/t/thunar-shares-plugin/
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/329873
https://launchpad.net/~danielmorales/+archive/ppa

It still seems to be in need of the newer branch though:
