You get inconsistencies between $DISPLAY and reality, which messes up local X11 applications? No, $DISPLAY is fine, but the auth cookies have hostname in them, and if it's changed, applications can no longer connect to X. I just tried to change the hostname on a friend's Ubuntu box, and it did not prevent the apps from working there, but they said something about being unable to connect to X and trying session manager instead (and it was slower). As I have no session manager here (just a window manager), such a workaround is probably unavailable. Regards, -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.

The hostname is being reset to whatever DHCP says, even if the machine is supposed to have a fixed hostname. The problem with X rejecting connections was experienced with 4.1.1-P1-17. Please, take a closer look. If you don't want your hostname set by DHCP, don't request the host-name option in dhclient.conf. See also #627825 Okay, sorry. I think that maybe it shouldn't be set in the default dhclient.conf, or there should at least be a note about it in NEWS.Debian. This is going to bite everyone who uses dhclient on a portable computer. Also, what's going to happen if the DHCP server does send the hostname anyway? I'm afraid that the hostname will be changed then, allowing a malicious DHCP server to change hostnames of Debian machines whenever it likes to. Regards, -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.

Bug#558755: [Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#558755: I don't think it's a poppler defect
Hello, On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 10:34:27PM +0100, Martin Pitt wrote: Jonathan Guthrie [2009-11-30 12:23 -0600]: In any case, there is a version dependency. I don't know if libpoppler5 should have been versioned or what, but the 1.4.2 version of cups is clearly not compatible with it and I believe that the dependencies should be adjusted such that you can't have cups 1.4.2-2 installed at the same time as libpoppler5 0.12.2. This is indeed the part where poppler is at fault. If a new upstream version breaks the ABI, it should bump the SONAME. The new poppler in Debian didn't even bump the shlibs version, so all consumers have to set the dependencies manually, which is against the spirit and letter of the library policy. I'll rebuild cups against the new poppler now. Please note that poppler in Debian has been fixed: http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/poppler/news/20091130T170251Z.html Rebuilding against what is on mirrors now would bring the same problem tomorrow. -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.

Bug#489839: udev: present in 0.125-3
Hello, On Sun, Aug 03, 2008 at 02:21:16PM +0200, Jan De Luyck wrote: First, no need to sound so 'short'. I was merely pointing out something that 'broke' my system today. Don't forget you're speaking with Italian. I find this bug report, edit /etc/init.d/udev, remove the -e, start it again and it takes off immediately. I checked the udev init script delivered with the package, and the constructs mentioned as being problematic in this bug report are still present. Add set -x just after the shebang and paste what is the last command executed. -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.
