Bug#312973: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686: system clock drifts ahead of hardware clock

2005-06-10 Thread Chris Howie
Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686
Version: 2.6.11-5
Severity: important

After upgrading from kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686, the system clock drifts
ahead of the hardware clock approximately two minutes per hour,
sometimes more.  It's not uncommon for it to drift 2 full hours in 7
hours' time.

I recently tested again with 2.6.8, and it does not drift even after
about half an hour of operation.

Debian Suspend2 patch, mkinitrd / mkinitramfs ?

2005-06-10 Thread Karl Hegbloom
I'm looking at the stuff that Martin Krafft did for the Debian
mkinitrd setup to go with the kernel-patch-suspend2 (Debian
experimental) enabled kernels.  Nice work, Martin; I did not know you
could add conffiles to a kernel like that with a patch.  Very good.

Many of the things being done by the mkinitrd script
(/usr/share/doc/kernel-patch-suspend2/mkinitrd-script) are indeed
kludgy.  On my laptop, I'm doing similar things to make resume happen
for my hand compiled suspend2 kernels.  I started from the same source
Martin began with, the www.suspend2.net WiKi.

I also have a script that adds 855resolution and a script to run it to
the initrd, since my laptop with i855GM came with a 1400x1050 LCD
(probably by mistake -- the manufacturer spec says 1024x768 -- I
lucked out; the X server log told me what it really is) but the VBIOS
has no mode for it.  Additionally, the Linux mtrr system sets up the
caching incorrectly, and I must add a script that sets the mtrr
correctly; otherwise, the machine runs very slowly when it has 1Gib
RAM installed and CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled.

The thing is, that due to the design of mkinitrd and the standard
linuxrc it ships with, several of these mkinitrd scripts need to
modify the linuxrc script.  I must be careful to ensure that they
happen in the right order.  For instance, the mtrr hack must be first,
and the 855resolution hack must happen prior to resume from suspend,
or the X server can't switch back to graphics mode, and bails out.

What would fix this is to have the linuxrc script run some _early_
hooks from a 'run-parts' style directory.  I think they should be able
to run between the "call /loadmodules" and the "call /script", but
certainly _before_ the "do_swsusp".

Perhaps the "do_swsusp" should be extended to support Suspend2?  It
really is superior in several ways to the suspend already built into
the kernel.  I certainly hope that Suspend2 eventually is merged into
the mainstream kernel.  I believe they are working toward that goal
right now.

Q: Is there a revision control repository of the initrd-tools that I
can use to keep track of it's development, especially if a transition
to initramfs is planned?

I tried to change the mkinitrd command to a shell script that created
a compressed CPIO archive, but it did not work right.  The
855resolution hack did not seem to "take", but worse, the 'mtrr' hack
did not work... I think it's becuase the kernel does it's thing after
the initramfs is finished.

My understanding is that ide-scsi is severly obsoleted in later 2.6 kernels,
and will soon go away, so please don't use it, and everything should be fine,
as you noticed.

I believe there was partially such a bug report against some of those
packages. There still are 2.4.26 apus kernels in the archive last i checked.

Yes and no. but let's sort out the metapackages thingy once the common kernel
package is out. We need to unify the different kernel-latest thingies too, so
this could easily be added, but it is still not enough, since having 2.6.12 in
the archive is not a reason for immediate dropping of 2.6.11, since there is
likely to be a transition period where it is meaningfull to provide our users
with both, in order to more easily check newly introduced bugs or regressions.

The main problem is that usually such removal requests got processed ages
after the request. This is changing now with the new more dynamic ftp-master
team, but i guess a request for removal get's easily lost in the noise or
something, not sure how you see that on your side ?

Notice that i believe the source package should be linux-kernel, and not
linux-source. Would make more sense that way.

So, when will i get a biarch toolchain in debian ?

The alternative being naturally to maintain a fork in people.debian.org, which
could be done, but will be a mess or whatever.

At least having the stuff in experimental ASAP would be a first step, but i
have not yet gotten any feedback on this, nor any plan to get it implemented
or whatever.

In any case, i do *not* plan to do any further upload of sid kernels without
pure 64bit support.

BTW, it seems that as a result of our little support on this, IBM has
apparently donated a couple of boxes to debian, or at least thought so, who
ended up being the augsbourg university ones. I would love to know who inside
debian was involved in this.

Yes, I agree with you. Alternatively, it should just load the module

I can confirm this behaviour on both, Debian sid with 2.6.11 and
lcap 0.0.6, and SuSE 9.2 with 2.6.8 and lcap 0.0.3.

Ok, fine with me, you are the expert. Did you try already the kernels and
stuff i announced on :

  http://people.debian.org/~luther/ppc64/PPC64.README

It didn't get the interest i expected, but maybe just because people didn't
really notice.

The process id in Linux is always 32bits, and unless you tweak
/proc/sys/kernel/pid-max the actual range used is even smaller.

> What about the sarge procps ? 

It shouldn't be any different.  I have been running ppc64 kernels with
sarge for a long time.  And if there's a bug in procps somewhere where
it can't deal with some fields beeing bigger in 64bit kernels that
should be fixed in procps instead of needing another set of binaries.

ppc64 biarch toolchain and 64bit powerpc kernels ...

2005-06-10 Thread Sven Luther
Hello,

Now that sarge is released, and we are concentrating on the upcoming etch
release, as shown with the new c++ toolchain announcement from doko, i plan to
retire the 32bit kernels for power3 and power4, and to pass as soon as
possible to 64bit kernels for those arches.

I have already built a -pseries version, which altough not power4 optimized,
will run on everything but legacy iseries (those predating the power5 ones),
which was successfully tested on both pmacs G5 (a dying race now it seems
though), and IBM power5 boxes (altough the ones with logical partitions still
seem to be somewhat buggy). And plan to do a -legacy-iseries build as well as
a power4 optimized version in the near future.

These kernels where built in a sarge chroot using the ubuntu biarch ppc64
toolchain, and i am already building .udebs for those kernels, as well as
daily d-i images, and have an unofficial .udeb archive which will provide
those .udebs.

I lacked time to patch base-installer and net-fetcher or whatever it is called
to get the .udebs from there though, and would like these packages to get
integrated in sid and then etch as fast as possible, to make testing of this
stuff easier.

So, i would like to ask the debian toolchain maintainers what is the expected
timeframe to get a ppc64 biarch toolchain in sid or even experimental ? Or
should i rely on the ubuntu toolchain, and use that to upload kernels to sid
in the near future ? Together with a statically built procps naturally ?

Sven Luther

Bug#312871: initrd-tools: please provide support for udev _and_ selinux

2005-06-10 Thread Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton
Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.77
Severity: wishlist


just like is done in FC2 and above's initrd, please could you consider
putting uclib'd udev into the initrd, and then making sure that the
programs in it are selinux-enabled / aware?

i had to make a pig's ear of debian/selinux when udev is installed
because of tmpfs extended attributes, because of mounting /dev,
because the recreation of the non-persistent entries in /dev end
up with the wrong selinux attributes, i had to run "restorecon" on
every single entry **AFTER** udev had run... it was awful.

such a mess, and the boot-time is adversely affected, too.

oh - and as for /.dev - CHRIST what an awful mess, and the selinux
maintainers on www.nsa.gov won't even LISTEN about supporting
correct restoration of file contexts in /.dev, so if you accidentally
end up losing the file contexts on anything in /.dev - YOU CAN'T BOOT
THE MACHINE.

[some types of filesystem corruption can result in extended
attributes being truncated.  if that happens to anything in
/.dev, you are xed for a boot.  at least with /dev being
managed by udev, the selinux file contexts on your device
inodes get recreated!]

i can't remember the details, but the half-way-house solution of debian
at the moment (where /dev is managed by and created by an initscript
/etc/init.d/udev) is a bolloxed up idea.

Fedora's solution - start udev from the initrd: correct.

Gentoo's solution - don't _have_ an initrd: correct.

Debian's solution - start up initially in a half-cocked
environment, move /dev out the way to /.dev and then start
udev later: total bollocks.

Bug#312687: linux terminal doesn't reset colors on logout

No, it's not ; my .bashrc ouputs ansi color escapes,
   because i like to have a white background in an xterm.
In a linux term these don't work (i get grey on black),
  so that's how i noticed  it doesnt reset colors.
It just didn't seem right to not reset colors on logout.

| See above.
Another reason i asked this is that when i use modified colors in a term,
  and i start a program that also modifies colors,
  there's no way for such a program to reset colors to what they were before,
  because it has no way of  finding out what they were,
  at least no way that i know of.

A matter of taste, i guess,
  i just log in as root, su to xuser , and startx,
If there's anything i want to do in the terminal (mount for example),
  i usually need root for it.
It's just a single-user box.

Thanks for your reply.

Bug#312845: Sarge Crashed by Evolution (?)

2005-06-10 Thread Guy Hulbert
Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7
Version: 2.6.11-5

I apologise in advance for the paucity of information here but I see no
point in wasting excess bandwidth with log files etc until I have some
idea what you need.

Briefly, I have been running this kernel since the morning of June 6th
and it crashed once in the evening but I was not logged in and my
daughter was using several apps at once.  I posted a message to the
debian-kernel list at that time but it was ignored.  This morning it
crashed again with only evolution in use and it spontaneously rebooted a
few minutes later.

Crashes:

Jun 06 22:23
Jun 10 08:05
Jun 10 08:11

Here (using less with line-numbering on) is part of the kern.log from
the Jun 06 event (I already posted a bit more of this to debian-kernel).
There seems to be potentially useful debugging info here.

There are no such entries for Jun 10 but the reset switch was hit much
sooner for the first one (after verifying that the network card was not
responding) and the second was spontaneous.  Thankfully evo has not died
again so I can send :-).

As said even a hotplug script on 2.4.x would be dangerous.  Anything
that requires hotplugging or rescanning of scsi devices should
absolutely use 2.6.x.

I am closing this bug, as I agree it is a userspace configuration

That looks like it would change the Kernel ABI.
So we should probably hold off until either it is
changed for some other (security) reason (change + change = change),
or until 2.6.12.

 Hello kernel maintainers,

   when i log in on a VT as root and su to siward,
 then siward's .bashrc changes colors of text in VT,
   if siward exits, so i become root again, colors remain those of siward.

 Exiting, so login prompt comes up, doesn't reset colors either,
   so it looks like it could be abused on real terminals  to
 set color to black on black,
   but i'm not sure,  as i don't have real terminals.

 This is not really a problem for me,
   but it seems kinda stupid to reset colors as part of PS1,
   so maybe you would like to improve this ?
 Maybe with environment variables TERMFG and TERMBG,
   each set to ascii of hex values of rgb of color
   and terminal setting these to correct values whenever color changes,
  and resetting colors when a subshell exits
  but resetting envvars to new colors when a normal program exits,
to allow color-setting programs ?
 I hope this is doable.
 Anyway, a reset to standard (white on black) for login should be possible.


 While i'm talking to you, i would like to mention that
   i am getting errorrmessages like :
  "atkbd.c: spurious ack on atikbd0/seria0.
   Some program, like XFree86, might be trying to access hardware directly."
 But it's not XFree doing that, it's mc
  (which i invoke and quit immediately, because it resets colors).
 And you'll need to change the 'XFree86' anyway, when etch uses X.org .


 If you decide not to fix this (it's only a feature request after all),
   could you point me to the sources that control
   linux terminal's colour behaviour ?


 Anyway, thanks for maintaining the thing
(and all the other things you maintain ofcourse).

 have fun !

As I wrote, add a script to /etc/hotplug.d/ieee1394/. Make it log the
environment and you will see which variables you can test for.
But as hch explained, bus rescans can crash the system so I will not
add such a script to the package (and I do not want to waste time
supporting 2.4 kernels anyway).

I notice from the initial bug report that the kernel in question here is
2.4.27, which I guess means a hotplug script is in order.  Marco, do you

2.4.25 seems to be needed for some architectures, but 2.4.24 and 2.4.26 should
probably go. Can you file a bug for this?

2.6.10 should also be killed, but there needs to be an hppa update
before that can happen.

We have found there is such a need in the past and right now too.

Thats pretty much where we are now. This has proved to be
quite a bit of overhead, because of the sheer number of
kernel source packages (one for the source and then one for each
arhitecture) per kernel version. We are working on consolidating
this to a single package for all architectures supported by the kernel
team (anything outside the kernel team is beyond out control anyway)
and this should aleveiate this problem.
