Bug#1012230: systemd: emergency target fails to stop journald

2022-06-01 Thread westlake

Package: systemd
Version: 247.3
Severity: normal

"systemctl isolate emergency" fails to stop systemd-journald..

it's not an upstream issue since the problem does not occurr with other 
distributions.


having systemd-journald to be stopped is desirable since the 
administrator can then use e2fsck to repair filesystems(after the 
problematic filesystem read-only -- "mount -o ro,remount /" for instance)


upstream won't look into this because it is not happening on other 
distributions.


please take a look
thanks

systemctl isolate emergency and systemctl emergency have the same

Could you check the following:
- When you enter the emergency shell, check the journal if 
systemd-journald.service has been stopped (and started again)

- If any of the above sockets are active?


they're all active...
systemd-journald.socket
systemd-journald-dev-log.socket, and
systemd-audit.socket

while in emergency..

I can only report against the latest two versions of systemd to github 
upstream.


was told so, over here,
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21370

I tried to report upstream as much as possible in general, but with the 
systemd project --- the upstream requires very recent builds --- which 
debian doesn't have any... so I can't report my bugs upstream at that 
location.


instead I am told by their lead developer to file things over here.

I also would like that other issue(I pasted url above), to be fixed as 
well... are you going to tell me to report that upstream as well? 
Mister Lennard Poettering is blaming broken debian md-raid packages --- 
which is 100% not true at all.. it's just that he doesn't want to bother 
for "older" systemd builds... I am 100% sure he could of looked more 
into it, but he doesn't want to..


so fix it please.

FIX IT NOW!!

Bug#1000627: apache2: missing dependency setting

2021-11-25 Thread westlake

Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.48-3.1+deb11u1
Severity: important

apache2 can fail to start if the user defines a specific interface.

the workaround meanwhile is to add "network-online.target" to the 
systemd unit.


The issue noticeably occurs when the user decides to use 
"systemd-networkd" for the configuration rather than 
/etc/network/interfaces.


A bugreport was initially provided to systemd explaining the problem in 
greater detail, however a lead maintainer replied that the bug is to be 
forwarded to the server package in question.
 -- a copy of this original bugreport to systemd/systemd-networkd is 
here for further referencing: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1000510


A server should not fail to "start" just because it is using a specific 
interface.


I attempted to provide the suggestion for systemd/systemd-networkd 
maintainers to give a policy of having "network-online.target" for 
server programs but I was told that the issue is the specific 
server-package in question. (only two server packages that I use often 
have this problem, openssh-server and apache2)


journalctl -xe -u [package]  -- shows nothing revealing than ".. failed 
to bind to address x.x.x.x". "networkctl" -- all shows green 
highlighting --- the .network definitions are all correct.


the problem seems to me the systemd policy of having 
network-online.target as a practice for server unit files is not 
enforced enough..


though the traditional ifup-networking scripts doesn't have this issue 
afaict.


.. it happens more often when the user opts not to be using the default 
networking.service and instead go with the newer systemd-networkd method 
for bringing up interfaces during the bootup.


the user here is not at fault, and should be allowed to set specific 
interfaces for the apache2 and ssh service.


(fwiw, -- prior setting up the workaround, both ssh and apache2 servers 
will both exhibit the same binding-interface error, as shown in 
journalctl.


However when starting these services manually: such as,
systemctl start apache2.service, and
systemctl start ssh.service

there is no problem at all starting these up

The interfaces are set at the system-level.  There is no 
dbus-triggered/Desktop-login interface settings.


The problem is systemd++network-online.target not set in the unit files.

Systemd and Server package maintainers should enforce a better policy so 
that simple changes do not affect the ability to start the service.

Bug#1000510: systemd: all server programs fail when they are set to specified interfaces

2021-11-24 Thread westlake

Package: systemd
Version: 247.3-6
Severity: important

systemd-networkd causes issues around services that do not have 
"network-online.target" as part of "Wanted=" in their unit file.


For example,
apache2.service has the following under their [Unit] in apache2.service,

"After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target"
, this is invalid, as it should rather be::
"After=network.target network-online.target remote-fs.target 
nss-lookup.target"


same goes for ssh.service
"After=network.target auditd.service",
should be
"After=network.target network-online.target auditd.service"

and for any other service omitting network-online.target..

. otherwise those services will say "fail" on boot-up.. without any 
other further detail.


journactl -xe -u doesn't show any further detail other that the service 
failed to "bind" to an address.


^ The ssh service I have set is set to bind to a "specific" interface 
that is defined by systemd-networkd's settings in /etc/systemd/network.
(networkctl was shows fully configured interfaces, so there is no issue 
happening over here)


The apache2 service is also set to bind to a "specific" interface.

^ By default these services run on 0.0.0.0 -- to run on all interfacaes, 
including 127.0.0.1 << which is pretty much ready much earlier. This 
explains as to why there is failure when the user defines specified 
interfaces later on.


..  whoever is in charge of systemd, should inform other server-package 
maintainers to add "network-online.target" as a dependency-check 
otherwise those services will fail to start when the user decides to use 
specific interfaces.

Upon booting up with "systemd.unit=emergency.target" to the kernel

However if the user boots normally into multi-user or graphical targets, 
and types "systemctl isolate emergency" or "systemctl emergency", debian

Bug#976004: RFP: exfatprogs

2020-11-27 Thread westlake

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: exfatprogs  
Version: 1.0.4
Upstream Author: namjaejeon
* URL : https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs
* License : GPL-2.0 License
Description: exfat utilities for the kernel's version of the exfat 
filesystem driver.


"exfatprogs
As new exfat filesystem is merged into linux-5.7 kernel, exfatprogs is 
created as an official userspace utilities that contain all of the 
standard utilities for creating and fixing and debugging exfat 
filesystem in linux system. The goal of exfatprogs is to provide high 
performance and quality at the level of exfat utilities in windows. And 
this software is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2.

"

Long description taken from its github page.

This is the official exfat utilities meant to support the kernel's 
implementation of the exfat driver.


Note there are 3 exfat drivers, this one being the only one meant to be 
used directly within the kernel giving the best performance of all 3.


Since this exfat driver performance is better than the others, it would 
be a good idea to request that support for the reverse-engineered exfat 
implementation no longer be adequate.


^ Debian should drop support for the package exfat-utils, and instead 
rely on Kernel 5.7 (for its available built-in exfat driver support), 
and have exfatprogs to maintain and work with the exfat-linux driver.


^ The mistake I see happening is untested and possible 
incompatibilities(and/or issues) going with "exfat-utils" along with the 
native exfat-linux driver.


Instead it should be only "exfatprogs" with "exfat-linux".

It would imho make more sense to package this by the time kernel 5.7 
becomes packaged into debian, as by then users would be getting confused 
which exfat driver they should be using.


Some sources online mention that Kernel 5.7 is favorable to start using 
with the exfatprogs utilities.


https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/001201d60e12$8454abb0$8cfe0310$@samsung.com/
"The initial version(1.0.1) of exfat-utils is now available.
This is the official userspace utilities for exfat filesystem of
linux-kernel."

^ Also keep in mind, that namjaejeon, had the project renamed to 
"exfatprogs" --- likely due to the already named package "exfat-utils" 
in debian.


so https://github.com/exfat-utils/exfat-utils now redirects to
https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs

Important note: afaict, the exfat-utils and exfatprogs have no relevance 
to one another.  This can be seen by reading discussions about 
announcements on their bugtracker on github between these two projects, 
neither one are merging and it appears that these two projects will 
remain separate.


The confusion for me finding out about this, is that the URL/project 
page has been renamed, as even the story about the new "exfatprogs" 
announcement on the phoronix site also uses the prior confusing name.


https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item=Samsung-exFAT-Utils-Release
"
Samsung Releases exFAT-Utils To Format File-System, Fsck

With the new exFAT file-system merged for Linux 5.7, Samsung engineers 
responsible for this open-source native Linux kernel driver for 
Microsoft's exFAT file-system support have now issued their first 
official release of exfat-utils.


The exfat-utils 1.0.1 release out this morning is their first official 
release of these user-space utilities for exFAT on Linux. The 
exFAT-utils package allows creating an exFAT file-system with mkfs.exfat 
as well as adjusting the cluster size and setting a volume label. There 
is also fsck.exfat for consistency checking of an exFAT file-system on 
Linux.

"

The github link entitled with the name "exfat-utils" provide on phoronix 
now also  redirects to exfatprogs -- should there be a renewed editorial 
on both LKML and phoronix, they should instead be edited and re-titled 
with the project name "exfatprogs".


So the confusion I hope regarding the naming could be set aside, even 
though the official announcement and other reports about it uses the 
obsolete naming for it but afaict it has nothing to do with 
"relan's" exfat project which is stored at a separate location somewhere 
on github.

Bug#944589: gsequencer: stalls system

2019-11-27 Thread westlake
It looks like I needed to do a reboot to verify the RT-bandwidth cap at 
the 50 limit for kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us in sysctl.. so "top" 
shows gsequencer at 200% (when ags is set with 'jack')


50 is about half rt period of 1 second(100), and so 200% on this 
computer means it is half the cpu bandwidth on a 4-core machine I'm 
using.. so this confirms the application is still saturating the RT 
bandwidth.


50/100 = 50%
200/400% = 50%

If you have a 2-core system, then saturation in the output of "top" 
would be saying "100%" because the maximum cpu-bandwidth capacity is 
200% for 2 cores.


By default, the cap-protection for RT-bandwidth is set at 95.. I was 
curious to see if sysctl's setting of kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us was 
effective..


I've only known the basics, and I suppose there's something verifying 
for me here as well, I'm pretty confident I've been learning about RT 
things correctly as I've been setting up ardour+jack to work effectively..


maybe someone from debian team can help with the scheduling call things..

unfortunately I wouldn't be able to mentor coding specifics, but I know 
it has something to do with schedule functions.


good luck..



Bug#944589: gsequencer: stalls system

2019-11-27 Thread westlake
it will just spike back to 110% when there is even a small load because 
you're not addressing the scheduling issue.


On a 4-core system, when 50% is reserved for the RT-bandwidth the 
greatest percentage for CPU% utilization becomes 200%.


But it is 200% that is shared for all RT-policy tasks..

basically this means 2 cores are fully saturated by that task in "cpu 
bandwidth"..


it could be 2 cores each at 100% or 4 cores each having 50% utilization 
by the various threads by the application.


A properly made application wouldn't saturate all available RT 
bandwidth, as that's called an out-of-control RT application...it's a 
scheduling-function coding issue...


Any-time you have a run-away and in-appropriately scheduled application, 
you automatically have an improperly behaving application that can be 
used to do things it shouldn't..


eg:: fork-bombing a webserver to saturate a server, ddos-attacks is 
doing what ags is doing in saturating the cpu so that no other security 
task can run..


haven't coded in long time, but I'm experienced enough to understand the 
implications about process-bombing/saturation and run-away tasks..


The "FIFO" you see in the pictures -- threads with this policy class are 
RT, and so is RR, as well as BATCH policy task.. so everything of these 
three all need to fit inside the same RT bandwidth.


Ags incorrectly saturates the whole rt bandwidth leaving no  RT 
bandwidth for any other RT task --- such as "drivers" which run on FIFO 
threads.


I wouldn't be a strong mentor on programming at this point in time... 
but basically your application is running out of control when it is 
doing this -- and there's stability as well security issue related.


My gut feeling here is you should be investigating scheduling functions 
as I think it's pretty obvious because there's an error message showing 
exactly this..


Come back and update this report and let me know when this gets fixed. 
-- I could wait ..


thanks

Bugreport relayed to the dbus package, immediately closes bug with the 
following response,

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=945561
""
Even if systemd --user was suitable for being started by a D-Bus service

dbus does not handle the service file you spoke about...

the dbus maintainer says your package is supposed to be hosting it..

"This file was removed deliberately as it is no longer needed."

^ "systemctl --user" is still used by many users and this user-context 
requires "org.freedesktop.systemd1.service"


or some sort of replacement wherever that may be.

So if not systemd, and changes need to be made with dbus, you should be 
informing other system service package maintainers to now be including it.


A question I have is, why remove production features? Shouldn't this be 
going to sid/testing things?


https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/NEWS
"User units are now loaded also from
  $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/user/. This is similar to the

systemctl --user, was supported starting from 2014,  ... there's no 
removal of this feature upstream according to the official changelog..

the system does not show anything pulseaudio here,

I do have alsarawjack set for applications that want to connect to jack, 
so here alsa is already being used in this configuration. (~/.asoundrc)


The ags.conf file you provided was tested with and it still causes 
failure even without jack and not configuring alsarawjack..


The rtkit-daemon.service is running, and limits.conf is set as it is 
supposed to for @audio group..


The stall occurs with both a custom kernel as well as a bpo-stocked one 
from debian.. both 5.2.x kernels..


Other applications can get their requested process/threads elevated to RT...

spotted on the ags website,

"systemd-run -p CPUAccounting=false -p MemoryAccounting=false -p 
TasksAccounting=false -p IOAccounting=false -p BlockIOAccounting=false 
--scope gsequencer"


would not make a difference because these would need be set specifically 
for Debian(cgroups), and I suppose it is for the other mainstream 
distributions as well.


ags was tried with various audio settings, different kernels- same error 
message. the bug must be in ags because all other RT applications here 
can be set with rt priority.


recap:: The stall occurs with both a custom kernel as well as a 
bpo-stocked one from debian.. both 5.2.x kernels. The CPU is plenty 
resourceful with 4-core "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz" with 
8 gigs ram. The ags software has caused more than 12 stalls. -- 
filesystem checks and other extra things were tried to see if it can 
load past the plugin-loading stage.


If someone knows how to fix this, feel free to give it a look.

Bug#945448: hostapd: bpo update fails to set service properly

2019-11-24 Thread westlake

Package: hostapd
Version: 2:2.4-1+deb9u4
Severity: important

using kernel 4.16.0-0.bpo.2-686-pae, the hostapd update to 
2:2.7+git20190128+0c1e29f-4~bpo9+2  causes wlan0 to no longer work


reverting back to 2:2.4-1+deb9u4 , allowed hostapd to run again correctly

/etc/network/interfaces
"auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
 hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
 address 10.9.9.1
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 broadcast 10.9.9.255
"

fwiw, the module the wireless chipset is using is ath5k

observation:
- ifconfig lists wlan0
- A client scanning the AP will see it appear for a couple of seconds 
before it disappears, even though ifconfig still says that wlan0 is 
still up.


the issue is replicated for each of these release, tested multiple times 
and the result is the same for hostapd never working correctly with 
2:2.7+git20190128+0c1e29f-4~bpo9+2.

Bug#944589: gsequencer: stalls system

2019-11-24 Thread westlake

I tested with bpo kernel 5.2.0-0.bpo.3-rt-amd64 and similar issue.

I notice there's a set_schedul* something message along with "operation 
not permitted"... that might provide a hint..


there's no ~/.gsequencer directory made yet, as the stall occurs either 
while still scanning ladspa or lv2 plugins.


The point of the stall is random but it occurs during the plugin-scan..

-- terminal text shows the point that it stalls is random..

Sometimes I am able to do Ctl-c, sometimes not and I need to do a hard 
shutdown (power button)..

that solves it, thanks

fwiw, I'm reading about this kernel option from lwn,
https://lwn.net/Articles/673597/

and the opinions vary whether there's security improvement having it 
enabled/disabled...


this may not be desirable for multi-user systems, here it's just a 
workstation so I suppose it is ok to use this mode as enabled.

Package: linux-image-5.2.0-0.bpo.3-rt-amd64-unsigned
Version: 5.2.17-1~bpo10+1
Severity: important

When this kernel is used, the latest version of chrome crashes saying it 
can't launch because it is not able to create its own sandbox.

 (chrome "Version 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)")

I like to have an rt kernel because I sometimes use jackdbus and ardour.

I do not know if earlier versions of this application are an issue with 
this bpo kernel, but another application I have called "pulse-sms"(an 
.appimage application that is self contained) also shares the same error 
of not being able to create a "sandbox" and abruptly quits.


I think there's something missing in this kernel, because I can boot 
into my custom "make deb-pkg" kernel with RT patches and both chrome and 
pulse-sms work again without issue.


So it's more than chrome -- probably even affects debian-packaged 
applications.


But the ubiquity of chrome tells me that filing this bug is important, 
so I marked it as such.


If this helps: my kernel was compiled with gcc-8, and is kernel release 
5.2.14 with official 5.2.14-rt7 RT-patches from kernel.org --  nothing 
else than kernel optons with "make menuconfig" and then performing "make 
deb-pkg"..

I did not check to see if I can run gsequencer with the bpo kernel.

I am using the basic "make deb-pkg" with RT patches. gcc-8 was used to 
compile this kernel.


I am using other RT applications such as ardour, and jackd2/jackdbus and 
I'm not noticing issues..

Bug#935858: nftables: lacks documentation

2019-08-28 Thread westlake
actually there's still no mention of chain names able to be stored in 
capitals.


The migratory tools automatically make capitals from iptables, and users 
would be tempted to try out documented commands. (even the link provided 
says nothing)


.. so you re-consider adding this as a side-note.

new users are tempted to try,
"nft list chain filter output
Error: No such file or directory
list chain filter output
   ^^
"

the nft syntax is difficult to grasp, and the output here is not even clear.

If the output (I would say upstream is to blame)  was actually more 
clear, then I would not need to report on confusion about this, and not 
have to dwell on telling you to provide some insight on what migratory 
tools actually do.


The fact that error output and online documentation mentions nothing 
about having capitals for chain names, is the reason why I decided to 
file this report.


The fact that many users also use migratory tools and likely face this 
same issue, is another reason why I think many users would actually 
benefit from a note or two in the README.Debian file.


You should take the perspective that new adopters face this issue, and 
that I wouldn't be the only one facing this.


Let it not be a main reason why NFT has not been widely adopted on 
Debian, because the least thing you could have done is to show me where 
I am wrong.


Show me where it is documented. Show me where it says that chain names 
can be in capitals.


Otherwise document it in README.Debian.

^ It's a Debian policy, and if you don't do it, then I will have to 
complain to the top leader about you being such a baby and revoke your 
abilities in maintaining this package.


You also closed my other bugreport without a real good explanation on 
why you need to have nft binary executables at the header of .conf 
files.  To me that is not just silly but impractical.  Online 
documentation sources mention about using "nft list ruleset > 
nftables.conf" and effectively that overwrites the header.


Use a bit of logic in maintaining this package.

thanks



Bug#935858: nftables: lacks documentation

2019-08-26 Thread westlake

According to the nftables manpage,
"The inet address family is a dummy family which is used to create 
hybrid IPv4/IPv6 tables. When no address family is specified, ip is used 
by default."


considering a lot of users wanting to migrating from iptables to nft, 
would come across the issue that chain names need to be in capitals, ..


I believe I have scathed incorrectly on the usage of "ip" over "inet" .

inet can be used to set rules for both ipv4 and ipv6, but I haven't 
tested how well this works yet in this latest backports update.




Bug#935858: nftables: lacks documentation

2019-08-26 Thread westlake

Package: nftables
Version: 0.9.1-2~bpo10+1
Severity: important

All of the documentation I have uncovered online completely use
things like,

->  eg, take this nft add rule line
nft add rule inet filter input counter drop

Here there's two problems when trying to do this on Debian.

1) Debian uses "nft add rule ip"  and not "nft add rule inet"

2) Debian uses "INPUT" << capitals for the chain name and not small caps.
 (small caps for the chain name also does not work on Debian's nft)

Debian needs to document these changes in 
/usr/share/doc/nftables/README.Debian




Bug#935857: nftables: improvement for nft settings

2019-08-26 Thread westlake

Package: nftables
Version: 0.9.1-2~bpo10+1
Severity: important

there's a question on where firewall rules are supposed to be stored 
when it comes to nft on debian,


A user looking at nft's systemd service will notice that rules are 
stored in /etc/nftables.conf


Nftables.conf needs to have the header "#!/usr/sbin/nft -f"

but why not make it simpler for users and instead put the nft command 
outside of this file?  .conf files are not supposed to store executables 
at the header, that's non-intuitive and imho not a good idea.


other distributions simply keep rules only in this file without any 
confusing header executable..


this also makes it non-standard , .conf files are not highly not 
regarded to be treated as scripting executables...

Even after clearing the logged-in users (there's only about 2 or 3 users 
on this system.. ) , with loginctl terminate-user ...  a user or two 
then re-appear again...


ps shows gvfs things.

of them.


I also tried to look at timers with user accounts using, "systemctl

Bug#838607: linux-image-4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64-unsigned: new file date writing issue

Package: linux-image-4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64-unsigned
Version: 4.7.2-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

There's a bug with ext4 on the new 4.7 kernel -- rare but it happened 
here on an ext4 mountpoint (/home /dev/md1   ext4  rw,relatime,data=ordered)


when a new file is created, the "create time" is not properly set.(2014 
was written as the create year instead of 2016)


it occured today after I updated to 4.7 so I can only assume it has 
something to do with it..


my system here has "mdadm" containers, and perhaps it's possible a set 
of conditions allowed this rarity to occur.

2016-07-04 Thread westlake

 "..it's obviously something from upstream."

You got proof? Or is this just another jabbing guess of yours?

Fedora's latest does not have this bug and it uses kernel 4.5.x

The problem is definitely not upstream, as other distros which have 
kernel 4.5.x do not have this problem -- and Fedora is just one of them.


Do I need to talk in a "pussy-cat tone" to make you feel special?

You obviously didn't even bother to check if the bug is upstream. 
Afaict this bug is not on other distro kernels running 4.5.


If you're so sure it is an upstream bug, then why not test it and prove 
me wrong?  Here there other distros (NON DEBIAN) that work without issue.


So do you actually "have proof" that it is a bug upstream? No you don't.

Instead of creating another diversion and distraction, maybe you should 
let someone here give themselves the chance to add to this report than 
merely trying to discredit it.


If you can't discredit the report, then at least try to replicate and 
"understand" -- even appreciate the time someone tries to "clarify" the 
confusion you have about anything.


Since you are confused from the very start, I would suggest you let 
somebody else take care of it.


Make the best of it.



Bug#829532: linux-image-4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64: breaks qemu-nbd

Severity: normal

kernels 4.5 and 4.6 breaks qemu-nbd from mapping partitions

qemu-nbd can map partitions from VM images and raw disk images to
/dev/nbdNpM nodes, but proper module options have to be loaded prior so
that qemu-nbd performs these additional mappings (the general consensus
around mapping image files has users issuing "kpartx -a /dev/",
but kpartx is not needed at all after issuing qemu-nbd)

nothing is specially set up other than a module option file and that's
pretty much it -- there's just 2 or 3 commands for the testing --- all
which indicates the issue is more towards kernel than it is with qemu-nbd.

after a modprobe nbd is issued, there is no "/dev/nbd0p1"-like devices,
so the main problem with kernels 4.5/4.6 is that qemu-nbd is not being
allowed to generate any device nodes. ("partition" device nodes that is
-- "/dev/nbd0" and "/dev/nbd1" nodes are generated by modprobe nbd)

here in nbd(module) options, there is a hint for max_part that needs to
be specified in order for qemu-nbd to later work in generating the
partition devices /dev/nbdNpM.
(nbds_max=2 just means for modprobe to create "/dev/nbd0" and "/dev/nbd1")

/etc/modprobe.d/mynbd.conf
"
options nbd nbds_max=2 max_part=10
"

basically just a raw disk image containing one partition

dd if=/dev/zero of=1.bin bs=10M count=10
 ,creates a raw diskimage called 1.bin

any tool to create a dosmbr table containing at least 1 partition
(qemu-nbd can also work with GPT tables but it is not used)
 cfdisk 1.bin , and exit the partition tool

no mkfs is needed, so one can immediately try to map the partitions from
the disk image 1.bin just by using qemu-nbd (here again "kpartx" is not
used at all. If one uses "kpartx", then it would rather create partition
device nodes in /dev/mapper.  Using qemu-nbd -d [/dev/nbdN] also unmaps
partition nodes.. so forgetting to issue kpartx -d /dev/nbd0 prior
qemu-nbd -d, would leave a mess of broken device links in /dev/mapper)

qemu-nbd should map 1.bin to /dev/nbd0 and its first partition to
"/dev/nbd0p1". this partition device node does not exist yet but is
something that qemu-nbd would generate

"qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 1.bin"

there is an option "-P "(qemu-nbd command) for specifying an exposure to
a single partition, but this has null effect
" -P, --partition=num
  only expose partition I"

it is always "qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 [IMAGE FILE]" that works (and after
max_part is used with "modprobe nbd") -- the /dev/nbd0p1 node then gets
generated... so something is up with the later kernels in breaking this
particular behaviour feature on behalf of qemu-nbd

Here the qemu-utils was updated and still no success...dmesg shows no
errors... there's also no errors from qemu-nbd's output but there is a
new notice about using "-f raw" for more safety for the end-user.

... the outcome is still the same (with or without "-f raw") -- the end
result is the image file is still treated as a "raw disk" which is
correct but there is no generation of partition devices

Package: qemu-utils
Version: 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u6
Severity: normal

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829401

The report I sent this against package linux-image-4.5.0-2-grsec-amd64 
breaks qemu-nbd's ability to work with max_part.  Since the kernel team 
is unwillingly to bother about it because they have to try commands with 
"qemu-nbd", they are unwilling to look into  it.


Here I've tried 4 kernels, the ones that are output with dpkg -l has 
been tried. The excuse the kernel team gives about "grsec/non-grsec" is 
a mere distration.  The bug occurs whether the kernel has grsec built 
into it or not, but it occurs against the kernel package it is report 
against. They're just unwillingly to bother about it.


My observation is "qemu-nbd" (latest 1:2.5) or "1:2.1" both work fine 
and exhibit the same "bug" for kernels above 4.3

There's no 4.6 grsec kernel, so I'm a bit confused about your report. Can you
check with the non grsec 4.5 and 4.6 kernel and report back? I have the
feeling it's completely unrelated and thus should be reported to the non grsec

Bug#797236: cifs-utils: share disconnects after time

2015-08-28 Thread westlake

Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:6.4-1
Severity: normal

the network shares auto-disconnect themselves after a certain amount of 
time, happens after a couple of hourse but it occurs at least twice a 
day.. not sure why this happens but it's never showed up on wheezy.


this has actually been going on ever since I updated to jessie, .. not 
sure where to look in the logs, but nothing seems to show up


i'd really like to investigate this but I double checked things -- the 
mountpoints automatically load up properly on systemboot, the system 
does not go to sleep when these mountpoints get disconnected, and the 
servers on the otherside are always on, there's nothing between 2 
servers and this workstation other than a switch box so there can't be a 
networking issue.


anyone else experience this issue?  couldn't find another bug related to 
this.


here i'm using the following with /etc/fstab


#webdav

Bug#794033: scanlogd: fails to pick up scan

2015-07-29 Thread westlake

Package: scanlogd
Version: 2.2.5-3.2
Severity: important

Scanlogd fails to pick up scan, here it has been tested on two public ips,

computer 1: where it is running scanlogd and tcpdump

computer 2: where nmap ran nmap  -PS22-28 [ip of computer 1]


When running nmap from machine 2, tcpdump shows the scanning of ports 
from 22 to 28. Though scanlogd never reports anything to syslog.


using syslog-ng -- all traffic, no filter,
sourcing - system() and internal()  which should pick up all default 
logging facilities


The only thing that gets logged during this session is tcpdump messages 
of an interface(basic messages with promiscuous mode going on and ofF)


I'd really like to have this package working as I don't think there are 
any other alternatives I can find that can provide the very feature I'm 
looking for.(pads, and psad do something else)


It is also difficutl to find this package with apt-cache search, perhaps 
there can be additional keywords in its description, eg: nids and network,

Bug#786559: cryptsetup: broken boot delay when using keyfile

2015-05-22 Thread westlake

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.6.6-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When using a keyfile with a luks volume on bootup there's a delay with 
the message showing a dependency failure but the given volume actually opens


A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid- s / 1 min 30s
which displays the uuid of the filesystem containing the keyfile

journalctl -b shows
May 22 14:41:36 debian systemd[1]: Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid of 
/dev/sda2:-mykeyfile.device/start
May 22 14:41:36 debian systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device 
dev-disk-by\x2duuid-uuid
May 22 14:41:36 debian systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Cryptography 
Setup for sdb1_crypt.

May 22 14:41:36 debian systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Encrypted Volumes.

The encrypted volume does not fail and the system continues to boot as 
normal


The delay is very long of 30 seconds so this is problematic

The system setup here is,
/dev/sda1 (300 MB ext2) for /boot
/dev/sda2 (1 MB ext2) for one keyfile -- this partition contains the 
keyfile which was created as


(I know this is not the ideal location for the keyfile -- using a test 
machine)


dd if=/dev/urandom of=mykeyfile bs=512 count=8 iflag=fullblock

/dev/sdb1 which contains the luks volume - there is just 1 ext2 
filesystem on it (/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt which maps to /)


The steps done after post-install was the creation of a secret partition 
(/dev/sda2) containing the keyfile, added this key to the luks key slot 
(crypsetup luksAddKey) for /dev/sdb1,


/etc/crypttab was edited to contain the following,
sdb1_crypt UUID=crypt uuid /dev/disk/by-uuid/sda2's uuid:/mykeyfile 
luks,keyscript=passdev


the previous line in this file was commented out
sdb1_crypt UUID=uuid none luk

so there's just one line in /etc/crypttab..and as usual, 
update-initramfs -u -k all


according to /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.initramfs.gz the startup 
should immediately forget the partition containing the keyfile


0. The passdev keyscript
 
If you have a keyfile on a removable device (e.g. a USB-key), you can 
use the *passdev keyscript. It will wait for the device to appear, mount 
it read-only, read the key and then unmount the device.


but here same boot delay occurs with removable devices

please have a look
thanks

Scott

Bug#786578: cryptsetup: crypt asks passphrase instead of using keyfile

2015-05-22 Thread westlake

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.6.6-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I suppose this is still in the works as other distros there are guides 
on having /boot included within the encrypted volume. The procedure, if 
this is something of interest to debian, is relatively simple. I believe 
this might be a wishful feature but it might even be a bug -- I'm still 
new to using luks but I know using a keyfile with luks works perfectly 
-- however with /boot in a luks container a keyfile won't be picked up 
even if it were on removable media (as it were tested)


Afaict this also wasn't reported, so here is... the report! :p

A manual partitioning was done with debian's installer using just a 
removable device (for the crypt key), and one drive containing a luks 
partition.


I'm using virtualbox so it's more convenient for me to use this -- but 
it could be another removable device to hold the cryptkey.


The drive partitioned:

/dev/sda1 luks
and /dev/sda2 for /boot (can set it 50-300 mb -- smallest possible as it 
will be deleted later. technically I really used another drive for this 
since it is difficult to resize the luks container if possible.)


sda1 luks is mapped to /dev/mapper/cryptroot (cryptroot contains one 
ext2 partition which itself gets mounted to / (there is no sdb as it 
eventually takes sda's place)


On post-install I attempted to use the keyfile while having /boot inside 
the luks volume (passphrase and floppy containing the keyfile both 
tested to work perfectly).


Here the things done after install:

- created a keyfile, stored it to floppy(or usb storage), and added the 
key to the luks container
- moved /boot partition files to the encrypted volume (removed /boot 
from /etc/fstab)
- updated /etc/default/grub and /etc/crypttab and carried out the update 
commands (update-initramfs, update-grub2, grub-install -- basically 
these three)


The changes needed for /etc/default/grub:
 GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=cryptdevice=/dev/disk/by-uuid/05a7ec49-f4b3-4d58-b906-932b7bec8457:sdb1_crypt 
cryptkey=/dev/fd0:ext2:/mykeyfile


The file /etc/crypttab needs to be done before update-initramfs, and I 
made sure to remove the default line which defines only using a passphrase.


I know there is some referencing towards the floppy as I'm seeing the 
delay error message(reported bug #786559) and I have also set the floppy 
module in /etc/modules and /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. I tried seeing 
if this made a difference but still no success.


I have made attachments where there's sdb1_crypt referenced instead of 
cryptroot -- a second drive was used to hold /boot but this drive was 
permanently removed.


thanks

L.J.Lane you could ask what kernel this occurs on than marking it as 
non-reproducible. The default kernel that gets installed with Jessie 8 
amd64 (3.16.0-4), does not work with iptables.


If you are trying to reproduce this bug, be sure you are using Jessie 8 
amd64 as I don't know whether it affects the 32-bit.

Bug#783958: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64: iptables fails to work with jessie's kernel

2015-05-01 Thread westlake

Package: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1
Severity: important

A simple test with iptables against Jessie's default kernel fails to 
work, but using a custom kernel not from repositories and iptables 
works.  A simple test is done allowing one match rule, and it can 
immediately be seen there is a problem with either iptables or Jessie's 
default kernel of 3.16.0-4-amd64.


eg,
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP

traffic to port 22 later works if I apply iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
Using a non-stock kernel, the above example works exactly as expected. 
Since iptables can work with another kernel then I suppose there is 
something wrong with linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 preventing iptables from 
working.


please have a look
thanks

Bug#783747: iptables: not accepting rule

2015-04-29 Thread westlake

Package: iptables
Version: 1.4.21-2+b1
Severity: important

a simple test with ssh doesn't pass,

eg,
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP

traffic to port 22 later works if I apply iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT, but 
for some reason the match rule is not being picked up


please fix this
thanks

Bug#783437: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64: buggy debian patch to kernel upstream.

2015-04-26 Thread westlake

Package: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1
Severity: normal

Not sure what is being changed in the kernel going for jessie, but from 
what I can tell for two upgrades I had to resort to a newer kernel from 
debian's experimental.


I have got two systems here that get the same problem, and this relates 
to the video/Xorg driver issue. Though it may sound remotely unrelated, 
I think something that debian is doing with upstream is the reason why 
there is the same video driver issue.


kernel linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 is problematic (as well as the others 
of amd64 3.14+ from backports or updates,.. no different result), for 
nvidia and intel gfx.  The driver loads up shown in X log, and there is 
nothing extra more in detail to know really -- same symptom going all 
the way back from kernel 3.2 and up. So it's been happening before 
jessie but the user can manage to find a workaround with it.(though not 
easily, it's difficult unless one is familiar with it)


1- Video driver loads
2- Xorg attempts to start, no edid information is ever picked up. 
Graphic server fails to find any screens configured because for some 
reason it knows there is a video card(using the desired driver) but 
doesn't apply to using it at all and X immediately quits. (I don't 
bother to using fallback drivers as there's no point to using them when 
accelerated graphics is instead needed)


If the same thing is broken (two machines, one nvidia, the other stocked 
intel) and I know it has something to do with debian's adjustments to 
the upstream because when I recompile outside debian's standard 
repository (backports or stable), the problem is then resolved.


but maybe someone out there knows it better than I can-- something in 
3.17 rc5 from experimental is enabling more support for video drivers to 
be working in general, at least for the two systems here being tested.


What's common between these two machines. One uses the nvidia driver 
with the 3.17rc5 kernel, the other uses just this same kernel and uses 
the stocked intel video driver. Both systems then get their video 
detection resolved as E-did can be picked up by the X server..


I know there's a lot of blame on nvidia drivers, but this also happens 
with a kernel's stocked intel driver which should be working regardless 
the problems with nouveau and nvidia.  Since there is a problem with 
even the stocked intel driver in a debian repackaging for 
Jessie(3.16.0-4), and using 3.17rc5 actually overcomes it, then perhaps 
this might offer a clue to something wrong with one of the patches going 
into 3.16.


so please have a look
thanks

Bug#781788: kpartx: unmaps incorrect devices

2015-04-02 Thread westlake

Package: kpartx
Version: 0.5.0-5
Severity: normal

Items loop0p1 and nbd0p1 existing in /dev/mapper, when issuing kpartx -d 
/dev/nbd0, loop0p1 disappears


Expected result is the command should only remove nbd0 mappings and not 
loop0p1


..
There's generally three ways I make mappings with kpartx when working 
with raw image files.

[attaching]
1- Use qemu-nbd, then apply kpartx on an /dev/nbdN device
2- Use losetup on a raw image, then apply kpartx on an /dev/loopN device
3- Use kpartx directly on a raw image file

There's a related concern if kpart -d  should perform losetup after 
creating a mapping in 3- situation.


I've noticed the following when applying kpartx -d for each of the above 
scenarios


[detaching]
1- qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbdN would need to applied to fully remove the 
mapping (normal)
2- losetup -d /dev/loopN would need to be applied to fully remove the 
mapping (normal)


3- kpartx -d fully removes /dev/loopN and any /dev/mapper/loopNpM 
entries, so losetup -d is not needed


..
If testing this, in the way I set things up is as follows,

Use losetup on a raw image file containing a partition table
Use qemu-nbd on a separate image with a partition table

Issue kpartx -a /dev/nbd0
followed by kpartx -a /dev/loop0

Verify there are entries in /dev/mapper (nbd0pN, loop0pN ...)

Now issue kpartx -d /dev/nbd0, and notice /dev/mapper/loop0pN entries 
would also be removed(which shouldn't)



thanks

Package: dosfstools 
Version:  3.0.27-1
Severity: important

If an item at the top node of the filesystem is written, it'll show up 
again after a format.


ls -la /mnt/vfatmount/
exhibits say abc

umount /mnt/vfatmount

mkfs.vfat /dev/[device partition]
, output indicates nothing out of the unordinary

remount this same fat32 partition

and listing the remount shows that abc gets listed.

udisks --inhibit-all-polling is also used on any Desktop login screen.

Bug#775967: RFP: selector

2015-01-21 Thread westlake

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: selector
Version: 1.1.7
Upstream Author: F.Fleuret
* URL : http://www.idiap.ch/~fleuret/software.html#selector
* License : (GPL 3)
Description: selector is a real-time pattern matcher for console

The selector command is a real-time interactive pattern matcher in 
console. It can be used to visit efficiently files in general, and shell 
history in particular. For the latter, contrary to what the readline C-r 
does, it does not show only one entry at a time, but restricts in real 
time the display to all the entries matching the pattern. You can at any 
time select one, which will be injected in the input buffer of the 
current tty.



It is a bit difficult to explain what this does without indicating an 
example or two. pretty much it is a program that offers to auto-type 
text to the command prompt but from the convenience of a menu list.  The 
menu list in question is something that selector presents upon execution 
after given a text file to it (or a redirected stream if no textfile).


The real-time pattern matching of the program is presented to the user 
when selector has started. Using up and down arrow keys selects 
different list items but while using a-z keys(or typing strings) the 
menu list dynamically updates itself on the matched alhanumeric string. 
Once an item is chosen, the enter key is used to quickly close 
selector and the selected text is auto-typed into the command-prompt.
Finally on the the command-prompt, the selected text which has been 
auto-typed is not sent with an ending enter, so in case there needs to 
be a minor edit of the command it can still be done before finally 
committing it.


it would be good if this program is available for debian..

thanks

The upstream of this package is edition 1.0 while this package edition 
on debian is actually quite 2 years out of date.


bug 681794 here on Jessie/testing appears to be the same as filed back 
in 2012 ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681794  )


It would be great if this package got updated as this software is still
