Correlation between Log Files and Display Report?

[Susmita/Rajib]

To,
The Team Debian Kernel Maintainers and Senior Members,
Debian.org

Dear Sirs, our Illustrious List Maintainers and Senior Members,

I have a need for which I require your help. I am getting error
messages at my monitor while booting.

I tried all possible lists. Eventually, I reached the rsyslog Mailing
List with my error messages and was informed by Prof. David Lang there
that the messages have nothing to do with rsyslog and that I should
contact Debian Kernel Developers Team.

I shall quote relevant portions of my message to the rsyslog mailing
list in this regard:

=[Quote]==
The details of the HP laptop that is throwing up the error messages is here:
https://bit.do/HP_i3_4Gen_Laptop_rajibando
The details of the log files in /var/log/ and the monitor reports are here:
https://bit.do/HPBootReport
The Debian Version is 9.11.0

If desired, I would upload my log files to the said drive folder.

I need to lose those error messages. Yes, I could simply eliminate
writing those error messages by hashing those lines in rsyslog.conf
which write those log files ;-) but that is not the kind of solution
that I am seeking.

Eventually, I am led to believe, but I might be absolutely incorrect
and I humbly seek pardon for that in advance, that only the creators
(and maintainer of Debian rsyslog?) could help me fulfil my needs.
Hence, I am also forwarding a copy of this email to the Debian
Maintainers.

The link to my Question in the Debian forum is here:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5=143901=708902#p708902
and i have followed it up on the Debian boot, kernel and user lists
with the following request:
Kindly help me draw a correlation between error display on the monitor
and the log files, such as, kern.log, syslog, user.log and so on,
within /var/log/ folder.

i got an initial reply to my message, only at the Debian user list,
and the conversation continues here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/11/msg00235.html

My email to the kernel-list was on Mon, 7 Oct 2019 08:26:25 -0700
(PDT) /  Mon, 7 Oct 2019 20:56:25 +0530 (IST), here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2019/10/msg00082.html
but was not replied to. Could have been overlooked.
debian-kernel-maint list is mentioned as a "Dead List".

Kindly advise and help.

Oh, great.

Feel free to either follow-up on this bug report once you have
backported it to 5.3, or alternatively once 5.4 trunk has reached
experimental, so that the switch away from haveged can be tested.

Hi Jan,

Is there any mention of pktsetup or pktcdvd in dmesg? Although you don't have
udftools installed, it seems most of the implementation is in the kernel;
udftools's pktsetup is just a userland tool for running modprobe, sending a
couple of ioctls, and printing status.

BTW, thanks for the hint about udftools, it solved my problem if not yours.

BR,
Steve

Dropping haveged from the installer

[Ben Hutchings]

Linux 5.4 introduces an in-kernel jitter-entropy implementation for
systems without a usable hardware RNG, which should remove the need for
haveged.

We could possibly cherry-pick that change on to 5.3, to avoid the need
for further changes to haveged packaging.

Ben.
