I just refuse xorg upgrade until I can keep fglrx, which I need for dual

Reportbug launches an editor for you edit your report.  I do not
recall any meta-commands from reportbug but it is possible this came
from the editor.  I think very likely the editor was talking to you at
that moment.

(Many people will think Emacs here bug M-G is not an emacs command
that would be asked for in this context.  So I am thinking it is
another editor.)

If you are having difficulty with the editor you were using then you
may choose a different one.  Either by setting the EDITOR variable or
by passing in the --editor command line option argument.

  reportbug --editor=nano

Reportbug should have given you a prompt similar to this:

  Submit this report on foo (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|s|?]?

Typing Y at that prompt would have sent the email and submitted the
bug report.  The BTS would then have sent you back an email
confirmation.  Wait for it.  It frequently takes a bit of time.
Usually within an hour but you might have to wait as long as a day if
there is a problem.

Uh... I don't know. Qt and KDE call it "Meta". E.g. my shortcut to lock the 
screen is "Meta+L", windows key plus L.
Maybe it is both?

Actually, from what I was told, many keyboards have that Meta key - it is

M-G is usually short for "Meta-G", or "Meta+G". Meta is one of those
keys that makes sense from a software point of view, but almost no-one
has one on their keyboard. It will be emulated in one of two ways;
either hold down "Alt", press "g", then release "Alt" or press "Esc",
then within a couple of seconds press "g".

You may also be interested to learn that "^G" is a similar shorthand for
Ctrl+G.

M+G?

Could be... but true is that I don't remember that exact key combination 
to record the report :-?

If you finally reported the bug successfully you should have received a 
confirmation message from BTS indicating the bug number assigned to your 
report. If not, then the report was not sent you will have to retry.

It often does (crashing), I also reverted to the text based wizard.

Please try the "Recovery mode" from grub. 



Just hit the down arrow once to enter the 2nd option in Grub.

The "Grub terminal" is required when Grub install has botched up
something.

If you get some scrolling messages, after BIOS POST, chances are that
your graphics card has some problems.

Is there a /var/logs/Xorg.0.log file? Any hints in there?

I am unable to recreate your issue.  That does not mean you have not
found a problem.  It means that I cannot reproduce your problem.  It
works okay for me.

If I have an existing LVM configuration I am presented with a dialog
screen saying that there is an existing LVM configuration which is
about to be removed.  "Remove existing logical volume data?"
Selecting "" removes it.

I am sorry but I am unable to recreate this problem.  I do not see
that behavior.

This is the debian-user mailing list.  You probably should take this
problem directly to the debian-installer people.  They have the domain
knowledge for the problem.

Hi,It has "Configure the Logical Volume Manager",but it only has "delete
volume group"

I playback this problem in my virtual machine.
First,choose "Guided partitioning" in "partition disk" step .
Now,my disk partition look like this:
--
LVM LG debian, LV root - 20.3 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 20.3 GB f ext3 /
LVM LG debian, LV swap_1 - 914.4 MB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 914.4 MB f swap swap
Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 21.5GB Virtio Block Device
#1 primary 254 MB B f ext2 /boot
#5 logical 21.2 GB k lvm
--
Now,I want delete lvm(vda5),but it display "partition in use" .So I
enter "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" this entry,and delete all
volume group.But it still display "partition in use",even if I restart
installer.

I know a only way can use this PC to solve problem.
Enter the shell and use fdisk to delete lvm partition(vda5),and return
"partition disk" step.
But,this way is dirty,I think.

It sounds like it automatically started the lvm subsystem due to the
presence of the lvm partitions.

Does it give you the option to Configure LVM?  I believe it should.
If so then you can go into that menu and delete the lvm configuration
there.

While sftp and scp have uses for modest upload and downloads, both
suffer from non-specific handling of symlinks, and scp in particular
suffers from its lack of a chroot cage to isolate client access to the
server to simited areas. The result is that a recursive upload, or
download, that includes a recursive symlink can be a *disaster*. They
also suffer from confusing specifcaitons of the associated "TIMEZONE"
of uploads and downloads causing enormous confusion for international
clients, at the worst possible moments.

This sort of thing is why I've encouraged people to use WebDAV over
HTTPS, which is built into Windows network neighborhood, works well
with cadaver and ltfp for command line access, and does a better job
of publishing datestamps for the clients.

Thank you for this.  scp works!   I really like the functionality of sftp since

want.  Hopefully it will be fixed in 6.0.2? but until then thank you for scp!

As noted in other responses to my question, the behavior depends on  
how your particular shell does pipes (with or without generating a  
subshell)  You have the "MirBSD Korn Shell".  I was using the ksh that  
calls itself "The real, AT&T version of the Korn shell" which has  
different behavior.

It depends on whether the shell starts a subshell for (compound)
commands in pipelines.

Actually, the pipeline is the most important.  You can achieve the same
with a simpler script:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
strange () {
for j in 0 1 2 3
do
: | { echo 1;return; }
done
}
echo $(strange)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Not exactly, it's the pipeline that causes creation of the subshell.

> and bash getting confused about the "return" inside of

It does not get confused; as you can see, the subshell properly returns.

> ought to be fixable.

There is no wrong or right here, since the susv3 specification is rather
vague:

,
| Additionally, each command of a multi-command pipeline is in a subshell
| environment; as an extension, however, any or all commands in a pipeline
| may be executed in the current environment.
`

So bash implements the default, while ksh implements the extension.
Having an option in bash to control the behavior would be nice, however.

The output of 'lspci -nn | grep VGA' would be useful.

Yet another alternative might be scp instead of sftp.  I use "scp -pr" 
often.

mput doesn't seem to be an sftp command. Maybe you were thinking of
lftp? But lftp's mput command doesn't appear to do recursion. lftp has
a reverse mirror command "mirror -R" which looks like it will do the
job. You can connect to an sftp server with lftp using a command like
lftp sftp://username@host/path/to/dir

Another alternative would be to use rsync e.g.
rsync -aiz files username@host:/path/to/dir

Hi David,

Thank you for the reply.  That is what I thought it should be, so I started 
with mput, just like I would have done with regular ftp.  sftp responded with, 
"Command not found"  I checked the man pages and mput is not listed as a 
command.
I then found this http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428082   But 
this was back in 2007.  

The way the man page is written for the current sftp makes it sound like put 
can be used for multiple files since glob is ok to use. 


put [-Ppr] local-path [remote-path]
Upload local-path and store it on the remote machine.  If the
remote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it
has on the local machine. local-path may contain glob(3)
characters and may match multiple files.  If it does and
remote-path is specified, then remote-path must specify a
directory.

If ether the -P or -p flag is specified, then full file
permissions and access times are copied too.

If the -r flag is specified then directories will be copied
recursively.  Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links when
performing recursive transfers.

 Plus when I type:  put -r *   two files get transferred and the rest, which 
are directories, do not.  The -r is supposed to copy the directories 
recursively.  That is when I get the cononicalise error.  

I am new at this so I could be wrong.  I thought that sftp was appropriate to 
use for this purpose(uploading files to a web server).  I could be wrong about 
that too...

Any help would be much appreciated.

-Steven

Re: Bug report: Which package?

[Ralf Jung]

Hi,

sorry it took me so long to react to your quick and helpful replies, I first 
had to recover from an illness.

I verified that xserver-xorg-input-evdev is installed. The packages xserver-
xorg-input-{kbd,mouse} were not installed, but installing them changed 
nothing.

Ctrl+Alt+F<1-6> does not do anything. SysRQ+reisub however triggers a reboot, 
as expected.

I just noticed an oddity during system book: It's saying
"startpar: service(s) returned failure: udev". In the system log however I 
found no mentioning of udev besides two lines saying "<30>udev[...]: starting 
version 167". But I guess this is still not okay?

Kind regards,
Ralf Jung

Like others have said, xorg-input-input-evdev is the most likely
suspect. But you should check first if the problem really is in X only.
So when you are on the login screen, press ctrl-alt-f1 and see if it
drops you to a console. Try to login there. If that doesn't work, the
problem is not in X but most likely with udev or even the kernel.

To workaround the situation, you could try to add the following
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (section "ServerFlags"), create it if necessary:
option  "AllowEmptyInput"  "false"


Hope this helps,
Arno

Sounds like an X.org problem.  First, make sure you have the packages 
"xserver-xorg-input-evdev", "xserver-xorg-input-kbd", and "xserver-xorg-input-
mouse" installed.  If so, I think the bug is with one of those packages, 
probably -evdev.

I'm not sure what the difference between turbo pascal and any other version
is. However, what its saying is that you can't write to OS memory within
dosemu (with pascal?). So, if you try to access dma address space (or maybe
even elevate to a higher ring of the processor) it will fail.

Someone here might be able to give you better feedback. However I'd suggest
you look for a dosemu mailing list or other forum for that discussion.

As Tom and you stated, that the update from 6.0 to 6.0.1 did not change grub, 
So the question is not, whether that bug is fixed or not.

The most *important* question is, *which* change caused grub to break - as 
grub worked fine (beside having to patch grub.cfg for hdx) before the 6.0.1 
update.

Should I? - I don't have any information, that's not already part of the bug 
report.

Sorry for not having googled by myself, but sometimes you don't have the right 
idea/search-token ...

Hello

I had a Compaq with that wifi card, when i installed Debian on it, i
did the installation directly by eth0, and then i installed b43
firmware, usung b43fw-cutter.

Now, i have 3 laptops with intel wifi cards, and i use 1 rtl-8187L usb
card to install and install private firmware; the rtl-8187L does not
need extra firmware, it just works correctly.

This is simply not true, but rather the effect of missing information.
There are a variety of different images and one of them will certainly
suit your needs.

It is my impression that you either want a CD1, DVD1 or BD1 image or a
netinstall image with firmware [0]. Or you can prepare a USB stick with
all needed firmware packages in the second partition [1] or just
download a firmware tarball and follow the method at [2].

I fail to see how this is a bug though. I would rather think that you
did not follow the installation guide.

It works funny? Is it telling jokes? What is a "method error"?

You have to realise that we are willing to help you, but we need more
detailed information in order to accomplish that. Make it easy for us
please.

There is no single "Linux" entity, but I much prefer some of the
automagic that is happening now to the manual work needed earlier. A
good example for automagic gone wrong is grub2, where very few users
actually understand how they are supposed to configure it if they *know*
what they want and the scripts just don't come up with that.

An example of automagic done right is Xorg. It configures itself
correctly most of the time and if you need to change something you can
place a little snippet in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that contains exactly
the single setting you want to change.

If you hate Linux use something else and be happy with it.

I would like to add that this does not really have something to do with
the OP's problem, because Broadcom has never allowed to distribute b43
firmware.  You have to resort to kludges like b43fw-cutter to obtain it,
I went through that hassle myself.

In this case he would have had the same problem on Ubuntu, though.
Aptosid might have worked, since they seem to include[0] openfwwf[1]
firmware.  Stefan Lippers-Hollmann has put this into sidux/aptosid for a
long time, yet seems unable to do something about his intention to
include it in Debian[2,3].

The Reportbug utility you get with a stock Debian/Gnome install is  
absolutely newbie-friendly (even I can use it, which tells a lot).




any ways, do an install with  b43 wireless card and don't feed it  
firmware.
this breaks the network and then the updates and then the voltial

apt sources.


The move towards a firmware-free kernel was quite prominently

is welcomed as a move in the right direction by many Debian users, me

Connecting wired via eth0 "cures" the problem. Perhaps Gnome notifies
all Gnome-native apps that I am offline when I am using wlan0 (because
eth0 is dead).

I am using Debian GNU/Linux "Lenny" (testing), kernel 2.6.24-1-amd64 #1
SMP, and Gnome 2.22.1.

agree ! :)

if NM is a feature in Debian (and affects other SW components) then it
should be operating properly on a fresh install... 

... or fully disabled !

but, no... I would also not call it a bug... just an issue :)

Not for me. But having the NM applet started by default and seeing no 
ethernet device there (but working) is a bit confusing for users who want 
to use NM.

Yes, and that's quite similar to the information that the bug report

Is this bug?  This seems to me user configuration issue.  I am basically
follwing: README.Debian NEWS.Debian.gz of network-manager Just disable
eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces like:


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
-

Then NM will detect eth0

I use Evolution and yes, Evolutio relies on NM to determine if a
connection is up or not

If NM says there is no connection, then Evo will go into Offline mode;
sometimes I need to tell it to "Work Online" in order to have it work.

I wonder if this is why there are some many problems with Evolution 2.30
breaking.  From those threads, it seems that Evolution is looking to
Network Manager and, if the interface isn't managed, Evolution assumes
there is no network.  At least, that's what I took as the gist of those
threads - John

My connection comes up at boot and that's all I care about.  The fact
that it's not available to Network Manager doesn't worry me.

Mmm, if the bug is that ethernet cards are not detected/recognized by 
default by NM, yes, the "problem" is still there, at least for me.

(not really a "problem" because I never use NM :-P)

Side note: ethernet card is fully available/operative, just NM detects

Re: Bug#579384: Acknowledgement (How to trick my Debian in thinking that a package is not installed)

[Daniel Burrows]

  So, it turns out this is surprisingly tricky.  The problem is that the
aptitude initialization process runs a mark-and-sweep before the whole
package system is ready.  That seems very dicey to me, but the comments
seem to indicate that it's necessary to force apt to behave properly
with auto flags when aptitude loads its sticky settings.  But until the
sticky settings are loaded, I don't know what's held on the system.

  This whole bit of the code needs to be examined, I think.  Which means
this is a deeper change than it should be. :(

Given that the module copy is in the python standard library, I find it

Can you run the line

You already have the answer, but here are two more ways:

$ dpkg -S /your/buggy/file

or even

$ reportbug /your/buggy/file

(reportbug uses dpkg -S AFAIK).

According to the packages page on the Debian web site, /usr/share/file/magic
belongs to package libmagic1.  I would suggest filing a bug report against
package libmagic1.

In recent kernels (2.6.31?) a lot of previously included firmwares have 
been moved to separate packages (firmware-linux-nonfree in this specific 
case).

Since this will make a lot of users unhappy[0] the installer offers to 
install the additional firmware, probably from some external source, 
like a USB stick or similar.

You are probably right about this. If it hasn't been requested before

I'm sure you can use the web interface on bugs.debian.org yourself.  If 
there's not a bug for this issue on the package, I'd be much obliged if you'd 
file one by using reportbug or the bug report email address.

If you'd like to be notified about all activity on a bug, you can subscribe to 
email updates by sending a subscription request to a special address based on 
the bug number; there will also be a mailto: link exposed on the web interface 
one the bug appears there.

Re: bug report for the ogss shell?

[John Haggerty]

Actually looking at this I seem to have found this is based on "libgmail"
which is in package python-libgmail 0.1.11-2 which was supposed "closed" for
freedom from bugs :(
The error I seem to keep seeing is an error in sendMessage routine but I
lack the present python skills to fix it as well :(

And what's worse is that I found a bare minimum of 2 other implimentations
of the "send gmail email through python" but they are all using generic mime
and not for the remote command execution through the email service

Just great :(

I had a mistake on the original email: It was the testing (squeeze)

sent some extra info to reproduce it.


The non-technical workaround: Burn a lenny installer, set up the 
encrypted lvm, install just the base system, and the upgrade to testing.


By the way, I *think* the problem was introduced by a new feature that 
they are trying to introduce: The partitioning of the logical volumes. 
After the installer crashed, I could see in /dev/mapper the logical 
volume foo of the volume group bar I had created, as well as a partition 
like thing:

/dev/mapper:
bar-foo
bar-foop1

Maybe I am wrong as to the development's intention. Anyway, does it make 
any sense to partition a logical volume?

This statement is correct for pointing out the basic workflow but there
is a bit too strong word.  Never say "never" :-)

We do fix critical/grave/security bugs for stable.  There are special
testing security bug fix system once we get decently stable sesting, I
expect soonish.

Testing was supposed to be somewhat usable once "transition period" ends
just after release.  We are still in this transition period.

It seems you do not really understand the workflow in debian. No bug is
never fixed in testing. No upload is never allowed to testing (ok,
except in deep freeze, and even then the package is uploaded to
testing-proposed-updates, not testing). Every single change to a package
must go through sid first. So, if someone find a serious bug in kde 4.1
now, there is no way to the maintainers to fix it in testing before kde
4.2 hits testing.

If you use testing, you should know that it can be at times even more
broken than sid. It's the way it works. testing is less unstable than
sid: it means testing changes less than sid, it's all.

Hope that helps,

Tiago.

No, that's not the Debian flow.

That's the purpose for which testing exists.  Those bugs not found  
while a package is in Sid are fixed in testing when fixing them does  
not require a new dependency or will break some other package.  So  
why should this bug be any different?  It exists in testing so it  
should be fixed in testing too, not allowed to just sit for months  
when it's a very simple fix.  I could see the lag if this was a bug  
that's difficult to fix and in some package that hardly anyone uses,  
but that is not the case with g-v-m or this bug.  It exists in every  
Gnome installation by default.


I think you are misunderstanding the way Debian testing/unstable  
works. Packages never enter testing directly. All packages enter  
unstable, stay there for a set number of days (the standard is 10, but  
can be made smaller for things such as security fixes), and if  
sufficient conditions are met, then migrate to testing. These  
conditions involve, among possible others, number of serious bug  
present and if all the dependencies necessary for the package are in  
testing and can be migrated together.


There is not separate "bug fixing in testing" and "in unstable". Bugs  
are fixed, and new packages enter unstable.


I don't know what is the case with this specific bug. It may have been  
fixed in unstable, but Gnome is in process of a big migration (along  
with KDE) to testing, so it is normal that Gnome packages are blocked  
in unstable until everything can be migrated.

What you say about testing is even more true about Sid, yet the Sid 
version is fixed.  Following your logic there was no need to fix the bug 
in Sid at all as Sid users are supposed to be even more skilled in 
fixing the problems they run across.  Sid is supposed to be more buggy 
than testing by its very nature. 
  

Why can't this fix be

Add a new changelog entry with a higher version (by appending something 
like '+local' to the version string). You can use 'dch' for this.

If you use aptitude you can also use the 'forbid-version' command ('F' 
in interactive mode).

You might try using apt-pinning.  I'm not sure if it will work though as

Tapani,

I had exactly the same problem on a fresh Lenny install on an (old) Dell

add a line with "blacklist snd_cs4232" to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

I think on my computer the linux/Lenny incorrectly loads the snd_cs4232 module 
where it probably should load the snd_cs4236 module and this leads to a 3 min.

It seems resolved in unstable,

I think maintainer forgot about dup (linking) these bugs.

They are working in transition to gnome 2.26, so we should have patient.

Re: BUG: Problem while booting Debian with LVDS connector instead of VGA

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello,

I do not if it is related but just in case.

With some MacMini, at least old ones, this issue exists as well:
this is not a linux issue but a bootcamp issue.

hth,
Jerome

User Debian wrote:

Hello,

I have a problem that I meet each time I boot Linux on an embedded 
computer.


Configuration:
Embedded PC : ECM-LX800
Screen: LVDS (and not VGA)
Linux: Debian ETCH version 2.6.18-6-686

The problem comes after GRUB gives the instruction on which partition to 
boot, BUT before that Linux kernel is loaded.


Noticed facts:
1- in short-cutting the VGA connector (i.e. pin 5 and 12 strapped 
together), which simulates the presence of a VGA display attached to the 
PC, Linux boots normally. The video signal is indeed sent to the LVDS 
output.


2- Linux installation was proceeded with success, but with the VGA 
connector connected to an external display as described in item 1.


3- When the VGA connector is free from any connector or from any strap 
between pins 5 and 12, after GRUB has started: the display becomes then 
black. Linux kernel is not loaded.


Question: Is there a configuration file to modify before the kernel is 
loaded to tell Linux not to take into account the VGA connector, but 
instead to send straight the video signal on the LVDS output, and then 
to boot normally ?


Many thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Eric

I can confirm this one, it crashes with a SIGSEGV.
Happens with the daemon as well as the UI.

I’ve been running 2.2.4-1+b1 myself since available for several days,
and in fact I did built amule locally against libcrypto++8 before the
libcrypto++ maintainer uploaded the new version to unstable. However,
I’m on amd64 and not i386.

I’m CC'ing debian-user in case there are people with i386/unstable/amule
who can confirm or deny the segfault. Please CC 525...@bugs.debian.org
if you do so.

Also, do you get any kind of backtrace, or can obtain one?

Please include such output in your mail, so that people don't have to

Probably you have some package that recommends mail-transport-agent
which is provided by sendmail-bin, so aptitude keeps it. The command

$ aptitude why sendmail-bin

will give you more information.  Note that aptitude only removes
automatically installed packages that are recommended by other packages
if the options Apt::Install-Recommends and Aptitude::Keep-Recommends are
both set to false.  See the aptitude user manual for more information.

Quite a few new bugs are also marked as applicable to older versions and
when they are fixed they only get fixed in the new version. In many cases 
the new bug has indeed affected the older version. But in quite a few 
other cases it doesn't.

Thus the bugs count for the stable release is skewed.

Iceweasel displays SVGs without any plugin or extension.  But not all
features are implemented, see

Can you try to start iceweasel from a command line? It may show something...

Dear all,


I have noticed that Iceweasel (i.e., firefox, version 3.06 under debian
sid) does not display the graphics from Wikipedia, although as far as I
can tell images from all other websites are shown correctly. That is,
instead of the images on a page like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasco_da_Gama

one sees only blank white areas.

Has anyone else had this problem?

In squeeze, iceweasel 3.06 too, everything is showing OK on the page 
you mentioned.

Thierry



AOL!  In Sid IW 3.0.6-1 all the images (of VdG, maps of Africa, etc) 
all appear.


Maybe OP has some misconfigured plugins?

Any ideas what plugins could be doing this? I have Java, Flash, some 
plugins for videas streams, adobe reader, but nothing too unusual...

instead of the images on a page like

one sees only blank white areas.

Has anyone else had this problem?

In squeeze, iceweasel 3.06 too, everything is showing OK on the page you 
mentioned.

AOL!  In Sid IW 3.0.6-1 all the images (of VdG, maps of Africa, etc)

Maybe OP has some misconfigured plugins?

yourself.
