Bug#756519: Toggling session with F1 key does not work anymore

2014-07-30 Thread gator_ml
Package: slim
Version: 1.3.6-3
Severity: normal

It seems like toggling the session with F1 does not work anymore -
pressing the F1 key yields no reaction at all (no message on the screen,
after login the default session is started). The keyboard setup is o.k.
(F1 otherwise works normally ;-). Triggering the screenshot_cmd with
F11 still works.

When I downgrade to version 1.3.4-2 everything works normal again.
(All this is on an up-to-date jessie i386 installation; the same also
seems to be the case when installing slim_1.3.6-3~bpo70 on wheezy)

Bug#754722: Security upgrade causes severe network packet loss

2014-07-13 Thread gator_ml
Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.2.60-1+deb7u1
Severity: important


After installing security upgrade 3.2.60-1+deb7u1 on my machines, a
pool of machines providing virtual desktop to end users turned pretty
much unusable. To explain the situation, here's a little picture:

  /- VM0
  /- N0 -/ - VM1
  Srv  G /   \ - ...
 \  
  \ -N1...  
  
 .

N0, N1, ..  a bunch of diskless machines running virtual machines based
on QEMU/KVM; network connectivity for the VMs via bridges

G coordinates the pool and connects it to the rest of the
network under a single IP address (SNAT)

Srv stands for any of a bunch of other servers (mostly Samba)

Most machines are running with the 3.2.60-1+deb7u1 kernel without any
visible problems, only on the machine named G in my picture, it had
devastating effects (for the moment, I downgraded to the previous kernel,
3.2.57-3+deb7u2, with which everything works fine).

VMs running Windows XP (unfortunately, this means almost all involved
virtual desktops)-: don't have get any useable network connections  to
the rest of the network anymore. Smaller packets seem to be totally
unaffected, but anything involving larger packets is unusable: reading
a 50k file from a Samba share takes ~ 1 minute (effects when writing
seem to be less extreme). It seems like VMs running Linux are affected,
too, but to a much lesser degree.

I am no networking expert, but as far as I can figure out from tracing
the traffic, there seems to be some problems with fragmentation involved.
It seems, that machine G with kernel 3.2.60-1+deb7u1 drops not all, but
most packets using the full MTU of 1500 bytes (and sending ICMP messages
recommending a MTU of 1500 bytes). I am pretty sure that no bigger packet
gets on the wire. The network interfaces use their default settings, which
also includes tcp-segmentation-offload, so packets captured on a given
machine may bigger, Why the effects on Windows XP are so extreme, while
other systems are still working mostly riddles me ...

All involved machines run Debian wheezy amd64 (up to date except the
kernel on machine G), all have Intel network interfaces using the
e1000e driver, usually 2 of them connected via bonding. Almost all
network connections involve 802.1q VLAN interfaces.

Unfortunately, I can't come up with some easier setup to reproduce the
problem. Maybe somebody else hase similar problems, too? I can't
experiment too heavily, because the systems are in productive use, but
at least 1 thing is clear and 100% reproducible: all my problems are
caused by some change between kernel 3.2.57-3+deb7u2 and
3.2.60-1+deb7u1 (and probably not the ptrace bug that was the major
reason for the upgrade). I am a little worried that whatever breaks
my VDI pool may be included in all future kernel versions ...

Bug#729480: SSL connections with client certificates no longer working

2013-11-13 Thread gator_ml
Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.31-4+deb7u1
Severity: important

I am running a webserver that only offers https and normally requires
client certificates. When I install the security upgrade
1.4.31-4+deb7u1 and restart lighttpd, with some delay (when I keep
hitting reload in a client, it works 5-10 times) no more connections
with client certificates succeed.

Firefox reports connection was interrupted, chrome
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR, lighttpd's error log fills with messages saying:
 (connections.c.305) SSL: 1 error:140D9115:SSL 
 routines:SSL_GET_PREV_SESSION:session id context uninitialized

regualar https-Connections (w/o client certificate) continue to
work. After restarting lighttpd, everything works again for a little
while, then trouble starts again.

With lighttpd 1.4.31-4 everything works fine; this problem definitely
has been introduced with the security patches for 1.4.31-4+deb7u1.

Bug#696988: live-build 3.x: --chroot-filesystem plain/none ?

2012-12-30 Thread gator_ml
Package: live-build
Version: 3.0~a51-1
Severity: normal

I have been using live-build to generate a NFS-root system
to be booted via PXE:

lb config
  --architecture i386 \
  --linux-flavours 686 \
  --distribution wheezy \
  --chroot-filesystem plain
  --binary-images net \
  --net-root-path '/nfsroot/live' --net-root-server '$nfsroot_srv' \
  ...

On sqeeze, everything works o.k (with minor adjustments).
After moving to a wheezy system, generating the system fails:

No matter what I do, live-build won't install a kernel in the
chroot area. Because various scripts rely on it to be installed
in chroot/boot (first error in lb_binary_linux-image, trying
to copy chroot/boot/vmlinuz-*) the build is aborted.

In the generated binary image (binary/live/filesystem.dir/boot/),
kernel and initrd are correctly installed.

Eventually, I discovered, that the man page for lb_config now
among the possible values for --chroot-filesystem does not mention
plain anymore. Instead, it now mentions a none, which sounds
like it should replace the pvrevious plain.

Unfortunatly, --chroot-filesystem none did not get me any further:
Now the build is aborted in lb_binary_manifest, which tries to copy
chroot.packages.live to binary/${INITFS}/filesystem.${SUFFIX},
i.e. the non-existant directory binary/live.

After looking closer, I am not even sure anymore, whether it
really was intended to replace --chroot-filesystem plain with 
--chroot-filesystem plain: At least in lb_binary_rootfs there
are branches for both, plain and none, but with different
actions.

In any case, it looks like for generating nfs-root systems, the
different scripts just don't fit together anymore ...

Bug#686776: cdrom image files should be opened read-only

2012-09-05 Thread gator_ml
Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 1.0+dfsg-11
Severity: important

qemu tries to open cdrom images read-write, so loading a cd will
only work if the qemu process could write the file. It does not
matter, if the readonly flag is set on the command line (I usually
use: -drive if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom,readonly).

I guess, this is the same issue as discussed here?
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/163112

(with -snapshot, a work-around is to add something like
file=/some/empty/dummy.iso to the command line.)

Bug#624754: AF_INET6 sockets even if not specified nor available

2011-05-01 Thread gator_ml
Package: libio-socket-inet6-perl
Version: 2.65-1
Severity: important

Prior versions of IO::Socket::INET6 used domain AF_UNSPEC unless
a domain was explicitly provided. This lead many other libraries
(e.g. libnet-dns-perl, libio-socket-ssl-perl, probably more) to
use IO::Socket::INET6 instead of IO::Socket::INET, assuming they'll
get the best of both that way.

The Documentation still suggests, that AF_UNSPEC was used as
default value for parameter Domain. 
In current versions this is not true anymore:
IO::Socket::INET6:new will now try to create an AF_INET6 socket
unless explicitly told otherwise.

This behavior also has a certain point to it (the module carries
INET6 in it's name) but unfortunately, as a side effect this change
breaks all programs that indirectly (via any of the libraries
mentioned above) depend on IO::Socket::INET6 and run on a system
without ipv6 (new will inevitably fail with Address family not
supported by protocol.

The simplest way to fix this problem is to just restore the previous
default (Domain AF_UNSPEC). Another possibility would be to first
try ipv6 but if this fails and ipv6 was not explicitly requested
fall back to ipv4 instead.

Bug#593087: xinput buttons not recognized correctly

Bug#593087: xinput buttons not recognized correctly

2010-08-15 Thread gator_ml
Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.20.1


In recent gtk2 versions, xinput button events (in my case from a wacom
tablet, other devices probably as well) do not work correctly any
more. Normal GUI usage is ok, only programs that actually handle
extended input devices (gimp/inkscape) are affected: Button events
on the canvas are only recognized, if 2 buttons are down at the same
time.

With a 2-button stylus for example, drawing (button 1, normally just
by touching the tablet with the stylus) only works, if another button
is pressed before the button hits the tablet. The other way around,
normally the context menu is accessed by pressing button 3 (the rear
of the rocker switch) without touching the tablet; this now only works
if I 1st push the stylus on the tablet and then press the button.

It is evident, that the problem lies within gtk2; on my base system
(libgtk2.0-0 version 2.12.12-1~lenny2) the input buttons work as
expected in inkscape and gimp. I 1st ran into this problem after
having installed gtk 2.18 from backports.org, after downgrading back
to 2.12 things work normal again. The same problem also occurs when
running from a freshly installed squeeze in a chroot environment.

Bug#573054: packages in config/chroot_local-packages have lowest priority

2010-03-08 Thread gator_ml
Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a8-1

When a package is put into config/chroot_local-packages for
installation, but an equivalent package is also available from the
default package sources, apt will always install the package from the
default source and not the one in config/chroot_local-packages.

There already had been a bug report referring to this issue for
version live-helper/2.0~a6-1 (bug #569619) which is supposed to be
fixed now by putting the local packages into 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/local-packages.list. Unfortunately, this
change does not resolve the problem, because /etc/apt/sources.list
is always given a higher priority than anything in this directory 
(see also http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.live/7489/)

I'd suggest to return to the previous solution to put the local packages
into /etc/apt/sources.list but put them at the beginning of the file:
This way, even if the same package version is available from
different sources, apt will always install the package from
config/chroot_local-packages

Bug#479585: (no subject)

2009-09-30 Thread gator_ml
There still is a whole bunch of repositories out there that don't
have Contents file, so I also think that some way of suppressing
messages about missing files (and the resulting emails if used in
a cron job) would be good.

Actually, the annoying message is not produced by the programm code,
but by the following line in /etc/apt/apt-file:conf:

 error_cmd = ( rm -f cache/dest_tmp; \
 echo Can't get uri/dists/dist/Contents-arch.gz )

One way to fix it, would be to change that configuration option to
something like: 

  error_cmd = ( rm -f cache/dest_tmp; \
  [ -n missing_ok  ] || \
  echo Can't get uri/dists/dist/Contents-arch.gz )

in connection with the patch below.

Maybe some configuration option to selectively suppress the message
only for certain URLs like http://security.debian.org/ in connection
with the --non-interactive option also would make sense? ...

Bug#548338: regular syslog messages error writing to client

2009-09-25 Thread gator_ml
package: libnss-ldapd
version: 0.6.7.1
severity: normal
I have several server that get their user base from a ldap directory.
Particularly on one of them, I regularly get error messages in the
syslog saying error writing to client. Usually, there are short
burst of messages (several messages send within the same seconds)
about every 10 minutes. I can't discover anything that happens at the
same time and might trigger these messages.

I searched the bug tracking system and mailing lists and discovered
some older issues in connection with very large groups, but this
does not seem to be the problem in my case. Actually, as far as I can
tell everything works fine otherwise. When I restart nslcd, the messages
will go away for some hours or even days.

What is the significance of these messages? Are they a sign of some
serious problem (in this case a more specific message telling what is
going wrong would be great) or are they just debugging messages that
can be safely ignored (in which case I'd suggest a lower priority;
a more specific message still would be great).

Should I be worried?

Regards,
Peter

Bug#529060: Hook scripts (Pre/Post-Invoke ..) should be able to know their context

2009-05-17 Thread gator_ml
package: apt
severity: wishlist
I spent quite some time searching how to find out the package on
behalf of which a hook script configured via DPkg::Post-Invoke is
being run: I was sure, I must have overlooked something, until I
eventually looked into the sources ... 

Hooks like DPkg::Pre/Post-Invoke could be far more versatile and
efficient, if there was a simple way to find out the context they are
running in. Currently, there is a separate option
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs (without a counterpart like
Post-Install-Pkgs, see bug#107151). Imho, the most simple, useful
and compatible way would be to just provide a set of environment
variables describing the context (package name, action like
install/remove, for post-something: status, apt version ...) so
external programs being called by apt could find out what they need to
know without breaking any established interfaces. I personally was
originally looking for a way to always run a script after the kernel
has been upgraded, but I could think of many more uses ...

Regards,
   Peter
