Bug#315433: Bug #315433 - kdelibs-bin: laptop can't wake up when kded was running when i slept it

2005-06-22 Thread browaeys . alban
This is a followup for your report:
http://bugs.debian.org/315433

Do you use a kernel patched with swspend2  or the vanilla
swsuspend (1) from standard kernel ?

Hardware accelerated drivers in X ? (proprietary or vanilla X
drivers)

If you use swsuspend 2 does it helps if you use its option to
workaround X problems ?



From your report i would say this could also be an issue with
dbus ... does it helps if you do not start dbus ? 
dbus is started by the init ... you can control them from ksysv
(kde application) or rcconf (command line).

Cheers
Alban

Bug#307912: Bug #307912 - evolution: relocation error: /usr/lib/libnspr4.so

2005-06-18 Thread browaeys . alban
Thi is a followup for your report:
http://bugs.debian.org/307912

Are you able to reproduce it with latest glibc, libnspr4 and
evoluton in sid ?

It looks like you where using evolution from unstable with
libnspr4/libc from experimental back then though it is hard to
tell without reinstalling your configuration from those days (and
it may not be worth the hours spend as the probability is high
this is fixed now that evolution 2.2 is in sid)

Bug#312552: Bug #312552 - Obsolete package

2005-06-18 Thread browaeys . alban
SI unrar-free unamintained upstream ? I don't think so there have been
 contribution from mplayer a few monthes ago.


http://www.unrarlib.org/faq.html
What about RAR 3 support?

RAR3 support is not scheduled. It would imply problems with the GPL license 
(RAR3 features a PPM based compression algorithm developed by Dmitry Shkarin 
plus some code by Eugeny Roshal).
If you need RAR3 support, check ftp.rarabs.com for the original unrar source 
code and extract the needed code yourself.
Windows developers may have a look at Sebastian Schuberth's arch::ifstream 
library (requires the unrar.dll).

If YOU added RAR3 support and would like to share it with the 2000 monthly 
visitors of this page, so please let me know.


with :

Do you know that the license for the unrar sources from RARLab is not 
compatible with the GNU Public license?
Yes, this is true. But we have the permission from Eugene Roshal to release 
unrarlib 0.4.0 under GPL and unrarlib-license. Note: this doen't mean that RAR 
is free now or you can use the unrar source from RARlabs under GPL. You are 
just allowed to use UniquE RAR File Library version 0.4.0 (unrarlib 0.4.0) 
under GPL.

I don't get what is the meaning of  :
It would imply problems with the GPL license (RAR3 features a PPM based 
compression algorithm developed by Dmitry Shkarin plus some code by Eugeny 
Roshal). 
Does it means the only way they believe they could had support for rar3 is by 
taking the 
rar3 code from non free upstream ?


From the second stance i conclude that there never was a development team for 
the
 decompression algorythm. 
unrarlib looks like a library wrapper around a port of a given rar2 core. 
Which is useless now for debian rar users. 


The submitter :
But sarge, etch and sid have rar 3.x, so...it produce newer archve.
tells it all. The compression tool is provided freely though the decompression 
one won't.

So it looks like the library is of some use if a program want to use rar2 as 
its internal storage 
format but ithe unrar tool is useless to users  ... unrar-free could be of some 
use to programs that 
cannot use the c library , shell scripts ... 

Should we remove it or tag it as developper only in the README (and maybe ship 
it in /usr/lib so that it does not conflict with the user unrar-nonfree ) ?

Alban

COuld you be more specific about what happens when growisofs is
missing ?

The dependencies looks alright . dvd+rw-tools is recommended by
mondo which means that some functions of mondo will not work if
it is not installed ... or does mondo failed to do anything when
dvd+rw-tools is not installed ?

Bug#214623: marked as done (Non-free logo included in main)

This is a followup for :
http://bugs.debian.org/214623


The last step of the fix have been unaswered for a year :

 On Fri, Apr 30, 2004 at 07:03:06AM -0700, Debian Bug Tracking System wrote:
  Debian's imagemagick package includes the ImageMagick logo, which is

 While you've removed the offending files from the binary packages,
 you're still distributing non-free material in the source package. The
 only way to fully address this bug is by removing the images from the
 .orig.tar.gz, eg. by creating an imagemagick_6.0.0.7.dfsg.1.orig.tar.gz
 (cf. the recent xfree upload).

Do you disagree (then tag wontfix) or was it lost ?

Bug#207932: Bug #207932 - emacs21: Includes non-free documents

2005-06-17 Thread browaeys . alban
Followup for :
http://bugs.debian.org/207932

Thanks you for helping debian tracks licencing issues. Though this
bug looks like an extension of the GFDL issue to some non
documentation texts. This have not been agreed upon by
debian-legal (in fact as far as i know licences and such
documents have been explicitely exclude from the need to be DSFG
free ).


Again thank you for taking part in this time consuming task.
Please ask on debian-legal when you encounter new types of
documents not being explicitely stated in previous consensus
(even if closely related).


By the way it is not a bad thing to track those not agreed upon documents 
licence issues. Though please keep the talks about them on
debian-legal. Maintainers do another jobs which is fixing bugs
and making debian easier to use. Most of them don't want to hours
looking after advanced legal issues. That s why debian-legal
exists :)

By the way even if a consensus is reached on debian-legal it
would be helpfull to make a separate listing of those documents
and discuss it with the release team and debian-devel. But please
not the other way around. I would call it  hijacking debian-legal.

I guess this bug can be closed as out of topic for the bts.

Alban

Bug#313615: could an apache module be gpl ?

2005-06-14 Thread browaeys . alban
This bug report raised the issue :
http://bugs.debian.org/313615

of an apache module (libapache-mod-security) being gpl while
using apache licenced headers .

I have checked the module source and it does not ship with its
own version of the apache headers. 


It seems to me this is not an issue as modules resolves their
symbols at runtime so the library can be bsd or apache licenced
and the module gpl . 

Though this bug report also describe such modules as being
derived works which makes some sense ...


Thank you for any clue on this issue.

Bug#249205: Bug #249205 - gettyps: no right to modify

2005-06-08 Thread browaeys . alban
I found this copyright notice (non free because it forbids commercial usage). 
Though with previous permission given by the second copyright owner it may 
become
at least distriutable .

Hope it helps decipher the issue if one is interested in gettyps (it looks like
an interesting getty for dialup).

This apply to version 2.1 while the woody package was 2.0



http://prancer.physics.louisville.edu/help/usr/getty-ps-2.1.0/INSTALL


Installation instructions for getty-ps  Ver 2.1.0
27-Sep-02
Copyright 1989,1990 by Paul Sutcliffe Jr.
Portions copyright 2000,2002 by Christine Jamison.

Permission is hereby granted to copy, reproduce, redistribute,
or otherwise use this software as long as: there is no monetary
profit gained specifically from the use or reproduction of this
software; it is not sold, rented, traded or otherwise marketed;
and this copyright notice is included prominently in any copy
made.

The authors make no claims as to the fitness or correctness of
this software for any use whatsoever, and it is provided as is. 
Any use of this software is at the user's own risk.

This package is distributed as source code, which must be compiled in order
to provide runable program(s).

Two binaries are the product of this package: getty and uugetty.  The only
difference between getty and uugetty is that uugetty checks and creates
lockfiles.  Uugetty should be used on any bidirectional line (modems, for
example).  Getty should be used on unidirectional lines (virtual consoles,
dumb terminals).

I have also included binaries of getty and uugetty for Linux; these files
were compiled with gcc 2.95.3, and linked with libc.so.2.2.3.  If your
library is older, you will have to do the compile yourself (or grab the
new library).

This code should run on the following supported systems:

(It is reported to work on linux kernel 0.99.15 and up, but I don't have
 a 0.99.x system to test it with smile.)
Linux Kernel 1.x.x
Linux Kernel 2.0.x
Linux Kernel 2.2.x  (This release was tested on Slackware 4.0)
Linux Kernel 2.4.x  (This release was tested on Slackware 8.1)

If your system is not one of these, you will need to research your system
requirements, and perhaps modify the program to get it to run properly on
your system.  (*Most* systems will only need values [mostly directory names]
changed in config.h and changes due to different libraries.)

The following are pre-requisites to compiling and installing this package:
  1.Being able to log in as root;
  2.Understanding how to use compress and tar;
  3.Understanding how to use make;
  4.Understanding about ANSI compliant C++ compilers;
  5.Understanding what is the standard for placing new files on your
particular system.

Here is the installation synopsis, for those in a hurry:

  1.Acquire and unpack the tarball containing this source code 
(getty_ps-2.1.0.tar.gz);

  2.Modify the compile-time configuration files to meet your system's
requirements (the only one you should have to change is config.h);

  3.Type make to build the executables (Note that the latest compiles
were done on gcc 2.95.3, with libc 2.2.3);

  4.Type make install to install the newly made executables and
updated man pages.  Note that with this step, your old getty and
uugetty binaries (if present) are saved as getty- and uugetty-,
respectively.  After everything is running smoothly, you can
remove these backup files.  By default, these binaries are put in
/sbin.

  5.Create and/or modify the needed config files (/etc/ttytype,
/etc/gettydefs, /etc/default/getty.*, /etc/default/uugetty.*,
/etc/issue).  See examples in the Examples directory;

  6.Modify /etc/inittab to use one or more of the new programs (getty
for non-modem lines [direct VDT access] and uugetty for modem
access, and enable the ports;

  7.Check the installation.


Or, you may follow these detailed steps to compile and install getty-ps:

  1.MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR EXISTING, WORKING GETTY PROGRAM!  I
cannot stress this enough.  There is a good chance that you will
not have things configured correctly the first time around, and
may not be able to log into your machine.  If you are using
getty as your primary getty program (as opposed to agetty or the
like), it would probably be a good idea to modify /etc/inittab
to use the backup copy you create in this step, and select just
one or 2 ports to test the new getty.  Then, if all goes well,
just change /etc/inittab back the way it was.  This is also
probably a good time to make one of those bootable rootdisks.
In any case, be sure you can boot your system in single user

2005-06-06 Thread browaeys . alban
Could you send a backtrace ? There is a small howto at :
http://wiki.debian.net/?HowToGetABacktrace

though if you don't feel like doing it all :

$ gdb xwatch
gdb) r /var/log/mail.info
...
gdb) bt full

would already help quite a bit.

Also :
$ strace -f -o xwatch.trace xwatch /var/log/mail.info
may help detect if xwatch di d not properly installed  .

Bug#278507: cgi on debian for debbuggtk

2005-05-28 Thread browaeys . alban
Is there an a way the issue could be mitigated in the coming
monthes by those :
- wait for sarge release and ask again if cgi support could be
  enabled (though i believe it is a security risk to have such
script on the main server ... 
- ask for a server to mirror the bts a second time . This could
  be of use to other projects. Stats are generated from a copy
on debian japan server for example :
http://www.debian.gr.jp/~kitame/
which is then used for wouter graphs :
http://people.debian.org/~wouter/

maybe we could ask how takuo does this. He may already have such
a copy (though an official server where all experimental stuff
about the bts could happen would be of more use).

All work on improving the debian BTS infrastructure is on halt
for too long a time :(


I do not understand :
We were asked to move scripts to merkel.d.o. probably a year ago. I did
 this but unfortunately apache isn't set up to allow cgi
scripts.

which scripts are not cgi ? Did you mean cgi as in modules
exuting in the server process (not as php scripts which runs inside
 a module which itself is a cgi ) ?

Could you comment ? If any script language is accepted could we
port the cgi code to this scripting language (notwithstanding the
performance penalty).


This is yet another example of the sad state Debian is in. I really
 wonder what is going to happen to Debian -- some of the core 
infrastructure needs changing (release processes, dispute resolution,
 sharing of work, collaborative improvement to the distribution), but
 it seems that we can never do this because there are too many conflicting
 opinions and no real leader to take responsibility, make decisions
 and change Debian for the better. 


Well i agree about the problem ... though i feel the leadership
problem is solved. Between our current DPL and RM . And i feel
every of the broken parts them (which i feel are not broken per
 se but did not evolved ) have now a skillfulled team working
one. Well except the BTS thus my request :)
I believe debbuggtk being an important milestone. It will show
that tools can be improved and lead to more people hacking on it
...

Sincerely
Alban

Bug#302680: zeroconf copyright

2005-04-03 Thread browaeys . alban
Thank you for giving us a zeroconf implementation.
I read the bug report about the (C) issue but found it less
important than the upstream url pointing to a non existant
page. I was willing to learn more about this zeroconf
implementation and was a bit at lost.

Should i read progsoc mailing list, is debian archive the newx
upstream (maybe the url should be changed to the debian archive)
?

Today I have asked for the data i was interested in (if
zeroconf open ports on the interfaces it uses) :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=302684

Though i have other questions , is  this zeroconf
implementation described in hte ietf draft or does it go beyond
it ? 

I feel lame as the source is available but i am working on other
packages right now and would still use zeroconf even .if i won't
have time to look it in depth before long.

Well those are just mind reading guesses. If you send me logs,
output and errors it may be easier to help out with this problem.

Though this is not a gdm bug. gdm does not mess with those files (be they 
/var/lo
g/XFree.0.log or ~/.Xauthority ). It just check your passward and start X.

Cheers

Bug#302741: Bug #302741 - scilab: Scilab starts with a very small window and an unreadable small font

2005-04-02 Thread browaeys . alban
Does the problem still happens if you set bitmap to no in:
dpkg-reconfigure fotnconfig
 
Else can you check that your dpi settings is sensible (either in
gnome font properties  advanced or in /var/log/XFree.0.log).

You can also try some of the tests in :
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xsf/XFree86/trunk/debian/local/FAQ.xhtml

The problme does not come from scilab but resolving this issue
may help to enforce the installation of a proper font for scilab
(or avoid a broken one until it is fixed).

Bug#301906: Bug #301906 - exim4: Mail messages sent to local addresses are lost

2005-03-28 Thread browaeys . alban
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'

this should contain your local ip too ( ay domain ip).
I wonder how you ended up missing it as it is added by default by
the configurator. Did you made an exim4-config run ?

Is your ip for your ip for ay domain setup in /etc/hosts ?
/etc/resolv.conf is valid ? (can you ping ay ?)

Bug#301518: clamsmtp : ucf not installed

2005-03-26 Thread browaeys . alban
Hi

Could you confirm that the ucf pacakge is not installed on your
box.

$ dpkg -l ucf

A workaround would be to install it before retrying to
install/upgrade clamsmtp. Please test ucf before.

Maye clamsmtp use ucf but miss a dependency on it.

Cheers
Alban

Bug#301497: dbconfig-common dependencies

2005-03-26 Thread browaeys . alban
Hi

do you think such a configuration layer should depends on every
database interface ?

Wouldn't it be cleaner to have the package using dbconfig depends
on the database it can work with and have test in dbconfig to
only show option regarding installed databases (or databases
detectable via the already installed db client pacakges ?

I don't feel well with the idea of a layer adding every client
libraries even if no installed program can use most.

A little rationale for this rant :

Thanks for the test and though you put on dbconfig. I am not the
developper but have already though of this problem too (but had
no good idea to resolve it). 
The apache config layer currently in debain have the same kind of
problem  : it does not depends the scripts it uses (init scripts
of apache, apache-perl ...). Thus if one have some installed ,
configure them with the apache config layer then one deinstall
say apache-perl , it will be impossible to upgrade/desintall teh
package configured with it. I removed apache-perl then the config
layer tried to use /etc/init.d/apache-perl while upgrading
phpwiki ...
This layer needs those init scripts but does not depends on the
packages providing them thus it can led to breakage. (i have not
submitted a bug because i don't agree with the idea of adding
hundreds hack to make it work, i am in fact waiting to see what
will be done in dbconfig-common to manage this problem (as it is
not yet heavily used and not in sarge , api/abi changes are way
easier there.)


If a solution to web application integration in debian is found
it will be in this package or it won't be . This will also have
interesting improvments for rich clients (but those have usually
less complicated setups).

Regards
Alban


PS: sorry if the style is a bit rude. I am always working on
improving my english skills but debian comes first :)

Bug#301589: liblircclient-dev: conflict with libirclient (library)

2005-03-26 Thread browaeys . alban
Package: liblircclient-dev
Version: 0.7.1pre2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


This is a strange conflict (it is the library itself ...)

Unpacking replacement liblircclient-dev ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/liblircclient-dev_0.7.1pre2-3_i386.deb
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0.0.0', which is
also in package liblircclient0

I retried two times in case it would have been installed on the
version if the library but no luck.

Grave : as the -dev cannot be installed without removing the
library it provide headers for . (well --force-overwrite woould
be fix such a conflict without damage )

Thank you for reporting bug. I've posted bug report to gcc bugzilla

It looks like the bug is fixed upstream (as you currently compile
with 3.4)


http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18384

 --- Additional Comment #23 From Jakub Jelinek  2005-03-10

Fixed for 3.4/4.0/4.1.



The bug should be reassigned to gcc-3.4 (and other version but
cloned) isn't it ?

Hi

can you tell which motherboard/proc combination you have ? 

For example i had a problem with amd thunderbird on via
motherboard which did not worked with some optimisation used in
firefox and some mozillasuite old releases.

And knowing if you have extensions would be of help too .

Bug#298688: CAN-2005-0683: Disclosure of installation path

2005-03-09 Thread browaeys . alban
Hi
from the report http://securitytracker.com/alerts/2005/Mar/1013377.html
this look like a beginner error.

The error log is from php not phpBB !

! On a production system error logs on the browser output have to
be disabled !
It is lije keeping development backdoors on a production release
...

If debian php does it by default , please reassign the bug to it
but i don't remenber it doing it , can you check ?

At least the maintainer his right in that it has nothing to do
with phpBB.

Thanks
Alban

Maybe it is supposed to be fixed by an upcoming new version of

Bug#295065: Bug #295065 - xsl compilation error

2005-02-13 Thread browaeys . alban
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/db2latex/latex/docbook.xsl:

xsl:include href=common/l10n.xsl/
xsl:import href=common/common.xsl/ (line 66)

xsl:include href=common/gentext.xsl/
xsl:include href=common/subtitles.xsl/

replacing import by include should fix it.

The stylesheet is broken: 
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_import.asp
Note: This element must appear as the first child node of
xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform.
this is obviously not the case here.

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/xsltc/xsl_include_design.html
explain that a change from import to include only affect
precedence. import is in hte base standard while include is only
supported by extensions. BUt libxml2 support include very well . 
I would say:

xsl:include  href=common/common.xsl/ 

would fix it for good.

Bug#285098: Bug #285098 - Can't input anything to gdm

2005-02-08 Thread browaeys . alban
Can you check that VTAllocation is not set to a number (eg.
VTAllocation=7) or set to on in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf.

It could be either that you choose set this option manually or
that the new kernel has a bug with automatic allocation (in this
case this bug may affect other login manager and be reassigned to
the kernel).

Bug#292285: migrate devfs to udev: no terminal, no cdrom, no sound

2005-01-26 Thread browaeys . alban
in README.Debian:

- since modules are not loaded on demand, if you do not have a
working
  hotplug package which can synthetize PCI hotplug events at boot
time
  you will have to manually load all the drivers you need from
/etc/modules.
- some modules are not hardware drivers and cannot be loaded
  automatically
  by hotplug, so they will have to go in /etc/modules as well.
- some drivers have not been ported to sysfs yet, and udev will
  not be
  able to create their devices. If you use one of these drivers
you will
  have to create the devices after every boot.

In other words, on a typical system you may need to manually load
(using /etc/modules) modules like rtc, 8250, ppp_generic, ide-cd,
ppdev, loop and tun.
Recent versions of hotplug can load some of these modules (check
if /etc/hotplug/ide.rc and /etc/hotplug/isapnp.rc exist and CONFIG_ISAPNP
is enabled in your kernel configuration), the others which do not
depend on specific hardware devices may have to be loaded manually if
you need them.

Kernel support needed
~
The kernel must be not older than 2.6.8 and must support the
hotplug subsystem (CONFIG_HOTPLUG) and tmpfs (CONFIG_TMPFS).


nut i feel the worst was to purge devfsd before installing udev.
udev take care of not breaking devfs but if you purge devfs
before, you already broke a lot of things.
do your fstab entries point to /dev/discs/* devices ?


You need a few things told in the kernel docs, required when you
migrate from 2.4 kernel. Check if you have done them if you are
already on 2.6.

for xterm like (and a few others) to work you need:
none/dev/ptsdevpts  mode=620
0   0
in fstab and it to be mounted.

also, you have to create /sys and mount it, the fstab line is:
none/syssysfs   defaults
0   0
this help hotplug.

and for the posix threads (not needed by udev but part of the
kernel 2.6 migration):
tmpfs   /dev/shmtmpfs   defaults
0   0


and hotplug should be installed too.
