Source: ndpi Version: 2.2-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) User: debian-m...@lists.debian.org Usertags: mips Builds of ndpi for mips, s390x, and the non-release architectures powerpc and ppc64 all failed because running the test suite hit the autobuilders' inactivity timeouts. These timeouts are generous enough (600 minutes on ppc64, 150 minutes on the other three architectures) that hitting them generally indicates that something managed to hang or spin indefinitely. However, I see that the hppa build ran for a long time before terminating on its own (albeit with test suite errors), so you may simply need to add progress indicators for the sake of slow architectures. (These are inactivity timeouts, so any output to stdout or stderr resets them.) Could you please take a look? Thanks! -- Aaron M.

Re: mpich FTBFS on sh4: MPIUI_Thread TLS definition mismatches tbss

So the error message doesn't make sense to me. comm_rank's reference to MPIUI_Thread is also present on at least amd64, and presumably due to some macro that (directly or indirectly) calls MPIU_THREADPRIV_FIELD. However, it's not clear why multithreaded build settings would be in effect for mpiu_thread but not also comm_rank. (It looks like MPIUI_Thread's thread-locality is conditional on MPICH_IS_THREADED, which mpichconf.h defines centrally.)

Re: bcm43xx finally working, with encryption too!!!
I have found that scanning before dhcp is vital to having a working bcm43xx interface. When I try to bring up my bcm43xx interface without scanning (until I see a network) dhclient fails to get an IP address. If I scan until I see my network dhclient works every time (well almost every time). Like a lot of my pre-up script I do not know why it is needed but it seems to make it work (see: modprobe -r, ifconfigs and scans).

Re: bcm43xx finally working, with encryption too!!!
I have bcm43xx semi-reliably working on my iBook G4 12. I am using 2.6.15.1 kernel, bcm43xx and softmac snapshots (from 15 Jan 06), some dodgy scripts and IEEE80211 compiled in the kernel as a module. DODGY SCRIPTS - To get the wireless to reliably associate to an AP (with or without WEP) I have a pre-up script that does the following: 1. unload and reload the bcm43xx module 2. ifconfig down and up the interface (it seems to help?!?) 3. Scan until we see the wireless network (this can take several tries) 4. Set the rate to 11M and the ESSID to the local network ESSID. While my script is some overly complicated perl that tries to find one of my preferred networks here is what it would look like as simple bourne shell script (last two lines optional depending on network and use as pre-up script or standalone script): START SCRIPT #!/bin/sh modprobe -r bcm43xx modprobe bcm43xx ifrename # Needed because I rename the interface to bcm0 INTERFACE=`iwconfig 21 | fgrep broadcom 4318 | cut -f1 -d ` ifconfig $INTERFACE down ifconfig $INTERFACE up ESSID= while [ -z $ESSID ] do ESSID=`iwlist $INTERFACE scan | fgrep ESSID | cut -f2 -d''` sleep 1 done iwconfig $INTERFACE rate 11M iwconfig $INTERFACE essid $ESSID #iwconfig $INTERFACE key 0a1b2c3d4e #dhclient $INTERFACE END OF SCRIPT Shreyas Ananthan wrote: Bin Zhang [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: snip...

I do get it working with a fixed IP address, like what you tried. I did add the default route to the gateway, though. And more importantly, I always have to wait some time before it works. Right after configuring the interface and adding the route, all connections will fail. But after trying new connections for 2-3 minutes (trying to load some websites and pinging), it suddenly works. From then on the connection works just fine. I also noticed that right after adding the default route, the command route will print out the route for local connections and then pause a while before printing out the default route. I have no idea why this is or what I can do about it, but at least I have a wireless connection now. # I think it may be time to but a USB wireless device until bcm43xx # is easier!

Re: Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work
The extra line you have is the route for all traffic NOT on the local network and so it should not change ping-ing the router on the same network. Just to be sure I have added a default route (to my AP/router) the same as your settings. Alas, this does not seem to have made any difference.

No such logs on the AP. It just shows me attached dhcp clients and websites accessed. My iBook is not listed as an attached DHCP client. My other debian laptop (x86) and my wifes laptop (Wintel abomination) both use the AP via DHCP so I am pretty sure there is not a problem there.

The source and x86 packages are available from: http://www.metavize.com/amread/110.49 You need to follow the following steps to create the package. 1. You need to create a bootstrap package (you should *not* have any pervious smlnj package installed): dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d 2. Install the resulting packages. 3. Build the package again (this time compiling with the installed compiler): dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot In future releases, an old version of the compiler will be able to compile the new version. If you wish to sponsor this package, please remember to upload the binary packages for x86 and PowerPC along with the source package. Feel free to email me with any questions. Thank you, Aaron

They allow you to specify the size of partitions in ``real'' units (megabytes or gigabytes), and can handle at least some of the details related to start points. While I agree with most of your points, just for the record, this partitioner *does* allow you to enter partition sizes in K, M, or G.

Another Poor Documentation Rant
I've gotten over hurdle mentioned in my last (almost ingnored) help request by copying the install data files to a ZIP disk. This, incidentally, is the kind of thing that needs to be on the powermac install page in big red text with a lot of blink tags: RESCUE DISK CANNOT READ HFS+! Also, is anyone planning on updating the file links anytime soon? Once I finally figured out how to point the installer to rescue.bin, it told me I was missing drivers.tgz. I'm currently downloading that file (from a link I had to ask someone for because all the posted ones were dead), but I'm probably going to have to come back for more. Is the lack of documentation a result of an expectation that everyone has LAN hookups and can d/l all the files directly from the installer? If so, wake up and smell the coffee. Even comp. eng. students like me use modems in the summer! Oh, and the install process needs better error recovery. Do you know how annoying it is to try several different directories ! and have to do the entire kernel install process everytime, picking the volume and everything? When it fails to find a file, it should display an error message and return to the exact same dialog it was at when you hit OK, *not* return the main install menu. One more thing, I get some error about cylinders or tracks when accessing my IDE ZIP too, sounds like what someone else described with a floppy. It continues fine, but you might want to pass that on to whoever wrote the zip drive for the installer. /rant -- ____ / ) / ) /--/ __. __ / / __. , __o _ _ / (_(_/|_/ (_(_) / / _ /__/_(_/|_\/ __/_/_)_
Partitioning--Advice?
I'm going to be installing Debian on a 1GB internal SCSI drive, and I'd like some advice on partitioning. I have a version of drive setup that can make A/UX partitions, or I can boot into the setup from BootX and use the partitioner there. I know I need a swap partition (~64MB, right, since I have 64MB of RAM?) and at least one linux native partition, but I understand it's better to have separate partitions for some, if not all, of the root directories (/home, /var, /etc, etc.), so I'd like advice on how much space to give each partition. Also, using the partition tool from the rescue disk, do I need to use the C command or the c command to make the partitions? If C, what type do I specify? I tried Linux_Swap, and the installer doesn't recognize it. I tried Linux Swap and got an error. BTW, I'm not going to be using this installation for anything fancy, like a big server or a firewall, it's just sort of for messing around and learning linux.

stack overflow during install on iBook
Hi, I'm just making the move to debian on all of my i386 machines that run Linux, so I thought I'd take a stab on my iBook as well. Here's what I've done: Grab the files from the debian mirror, including BootX 1.2.2, ramdisk.image, etc. Boot to the install via BootX (which works fine), and partition so that I keep my existing HFS partition (~2GB) and add hda9 and hda10 as Linux and Linux Swap. This all works great, and so I thought I was on my way. Then I hit a kernel stack overflow that just snapped the machine off. At first I thought it was networking code, because it was around the time it was trying to DHCP. But the next time it died right after keyboard config, and once again during kernel messages on boot. And once again while trying to manually configure networking from a prompt. I should mention that I've seen the error as stack overflow, or NULL pointer assignment. Argh! I can't keep the thing up and running long enough to enjoy it, or even begin to get the base system going. I thought it might be kernel, so I grabbed one of the precompiled stable kernels to give it a shot--same problem. It's an out-of-the-box iBook with 64MB of ram on board, no expansion module... Anybody else see this? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. -- Aaron Pierce Psyberware Communications www.psyber.com

Blackhawk problems
Well, I got DebPPC on my Blackhawk recently. However, both the PReP kernel supplied with the latest unstable and the one I built from the 2.2.13 source deb have a couple problems: Regular Bogus Interrupt messages that seem to be triggered by the keyboard. Bad BogoMIPS calculation? saytime and mp3blaster play sounds at a really high pitch. My 604/133 is reported as 266 BogoMIPS, which doesn't seem right. Also, have the clfbgen patches for Blackhawk been merged yet? Should I try to deb Xbh? Otherwise, I'm mighty impressed.

A few months ago it could only do 8bit depth on PReP whereas Xbh can do 16bit. I've heard that 2.2.13 introduced a new clgenfb driver that is updated from a Zorro perspective such that it breaks Jeff's patches pretty horribly...it's probably time to get the driver in the kernel so it can be properly maintained. Looks like it's in 2.3 now. I doubt it'll make it into 2.2, though. There is a _small_ problem with FB support in that currently things work nicely with VGAcon and Sercon built together in the boot image. So, if I understand correctly, FB-VGA[-Serial] does not work, but VGA-Serial and FB-Serial does? Meaning that FBcon and VGACon are currently mutually exclusive? If so, no biggie, just trying to clarify. I am truly amazed at the work folks are putting into these PReP boxen. Not even NetBSD supports 'em.

I received a handful of responses when I asked if anyone was interested in a document about installing Debian over LinuxPPC, so I decided to give it a try. I used the notes I took while doing this on my iMac, so the instructions might be a little iMac-centric. Hi. That's great that there is now a comprehensive page on installing Debian on a mac; all the instructions are clear and look correct (except the BootX-hd.jpg image is broken). It looks basically like the procedure I used on my power computing clone. There are a couple of things you may want to add: 1) a note about setting up X (i.e. copying and tweaking /usr/doc/xserver-common/examples/XF86Config.eg to /etc/X11/XF86Config) 2) installing Debian without having to pre-install LinuxPPC; if you don't have a CD or a fast network connection handy, the impatient may not want to download everything for the LinuxPPC install. You can actually install Debian with just BootX, kernel image, and a ramdisk from LinuxPPC. You give BootX a kernel argument of init=/bin/sh and then do a couple of hackery-things by hand to avoid the whole redhat install. Once complete there are only a couple of other things done different from your document. If you think #2 would be useful to some people, I'd be glad to write up the full procedure for you to include. -aaron -- Aaron Culich ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://hampshire.edu/~alcF93/

There are two things that i had problems with setting up X: 1) In XF86Config my ModeLine lines were UNcommented. FBDev wants those lines to be commented out. If you copy the file from /usr/doc/xserver-common/examples/XF86Config.eg, I think it has most everything set up correctly. 2) libnfslock. If lots of stuff seems to be segfaulting and otherwise crashing[1] make sure this library is not installed. At very least, edit out the nfslock line /etc/ld.so.preload. I haven't checked to see if it has been recently fixed; i also haven't had the time to track down the problems and file a useful bug report[2].

[ Insert pdisk instructions here ] For me /dev/sdb3 / /dev/sdb4 swap /dev/sdb5 /usr 6) mknod sdb3 b 8 19; mknod sdb5 b 8 21 Make sure you get the major/minor correct, otherwise you'll wipe out other disks or partitions. 8) mke2fs /dev/sdb3; mke2fs /dev/sdb5; mkswap /dev/sdb4 9) we'll also mount our mac partition where base2_1.tar is stored (make sure the file is not gzipped, as there is no decompression utility onboard at the moment). mknod sda5 b 8 5 9) mkdir /mnt/root; mkdir /mnt/mac 10) mount -t hfs /dev/sda5 /mac 11) mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/root 12) cd /mnt/root 13) this next step assumes that you have your base tarball at the base of your mac hardrive in a folder called debian (i.e. that your debian folder is not on the desktop): cat /mnt/mac/linux/base2_1.tar | cpio --extract --make-directories 14) cd into /mnt/root/etc and create all the necessary config files (e.g. fstab) using: cat fstab 15) This step is absolutely critical. If you reboot without unmounting first, sometimes not all the info has really been written to disk; you will have done all the above work for nothing! cd / ; umount /mnt/mac; umount /mnt/root 16) reboot the machine (hard or keyboard reset; there is no reboot command on the ramdisk). 17) this time at bootX, enter init=/bin/sh with ramdisk NOT checked. 18) /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh (i can't remember if that file exists yet or not. if not, then: mount -o remount,rw / after fsck'ing the partition). 19) dpkg --configure -a 20) reboot again ( you should have /sbin/reboot now) 21) start up with NO ramdisk and NO init arg (yay-- a real start up!) 22) follow the rest of the docs from here ... enjoy! -aaron p.s. if someone follows these directions and they lead you astray, email me for clarification... it's late and i've likely twiddled a few things the wrong way in my writing. if you trash your system with these directions it's not my fault (it was just MacOS anyway, right?) Footnotes: [1] well, this presumes that you followed the directions for the bash fix! :) [2] it may have something to do with all the fun bugginess in the new glibc 2.1? [3] here is a quickie guide to major/minor numbers for mknod: hda 3 0 hda[1-63] 3 1-63 hdb 3 64 hdb[1-63] 3 65-127 hdc22 0 hdc[1-63] 22 1-63 hdd22 64
Re: Request proof-reading: installing Debian over LinuxPPC
(make sure the file is not gzipped, as there is no decompression utility onboard at the moment). oops -- i was mistaken about the gzip. after double-checking the ramdisk i found gzip hiding in there Aha, well, I'm glad I didn't do the LinuxPPC installation for nothing, then. : I wouldn't have been able to do this on my system. IIRC, HFS+ is not supported, so I wouldn't have had anything mountable that I could have gotten the base tarball from! another alternative assuming you've got an ethernet card and another machine you can talk to is to do: ifconfig 192.168.23.17 netmask 255.255.255.0 up (or whatever your IP/NETMASK combo is) and then: mount -t nfs 192.168.23.23:/mirrors/debian /mnt/debian just put the base2_1 tarball some place you can NFS mount and you're set-- in my case i went a little modem-crazy and did an entire mirror of the i386 and powerpc arms of potato on my i386 box. :) -aaron p.s. i'm cc'ing this to the list, cause it could be useful to whoever might be following this thread if they also have that HFS+ issue...
RE: Linux for MVME1603?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] As the name would suggest, I have a board which is a Motorola VME board based on the PPC 603. Anyone know where I might find Linux for this beast? I don't know, but the folks at linuxppc-dev are talking about MVME2400, -2431 and -2306. If I can't find a prepared Linux for this, what Linux community (web page, list, newsgroup) might be the closest? http://win-www.uia.ac.be/u/s970707/thesis/archive.html http://lists.linuxppc.org
RE: Boot disks for PowerPC
From: Hartmut Koptein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The c-files should compile all cleanly. But i fails horribly for makeing the floppy-images. The binaries are to big for 1440 floppies. FYI, over in LinuxPPC land, the assumption is 2880 floppies. I use TFTP instead. But 1.44 would be nice once things are working well.
PReP install disk?
Any chance there's an install image available?
