Bug#861137: xwindows crashes on startup with display with bad edid checksum

2017-04-24 Thread Kenneth Howlett 

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1.0.13-2

I installed amd64 stretch. When I booted into stretch for the first time,
it displayed some messages saying the EDID checksum was bad, then there was
a black screen with an arrow shaped cursor in the center. The computer did
not respond to the keyboard or mouse. I could not change to a different
virtual terminal. No login prompt was displayed, so the crash probably
occurred before the login prompt. Control-alternate-delete and
control-alternate-backspace had no effect.

The computer is hp pavilion a6110n with amd 64 bit cpu. Display 
controller is:


00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation C61 
[GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2)

Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:2a58]

The display has an invalid edid checksum. The display works fine
with any software which ignores the edid checksum.  In fedora 13, I have
been using the xorg nvidia driver which accepts option IgnoreEDIDChecksum in
xorg.conf, and the display works perfectly.

Stretch crashes in the same manner in recovery mode.

Adding kernel boot parameters nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0 caused stretch to
crash earlier in the boot process. The last message displayed on the screen
was KVM: disabled by bios.

Adding kernel boot parameters edid_strict=0 drm_edid_strict=0 
drm.edid_strict=0

had no effect. This option is for a proposed kernel patch at
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-January/006778.html.
I do not know if that proposed kernel patch was ever accepted into the
kernel, and do not know the exact syntax, but I figured it would not hurt
to try.

Adding kernel boot parameter drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin
had no effect.

Adding kernel boot parameter drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1680x1050.bin
resulted in smaller text in the displayed error messages, but otherwise
stretch crashed the same.

I tried kernel boot parameter drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid.bin.
/lib/firmware/edid.bin was a file created by the write edid to file function
of the nvidia utilities on fedora 13. This resulted in an error message
saying base block of edid firmware is invalid. I do not know if the edid
file generated by nvidia utilities is the correct format for the kernel. I
tried generating another edid file with get-edid, but get-edid failed.

I borrowed a display from a different computer, and stretch xwindows ran ok.

/var/log/syslog from the first boot to the first crash:

Call db_purge without arguments in postinst

Thanks, Samuel Thibault and Tianon Gravi!

The bug was introduced by me in 1:7.7+10 but was hidden until now
because errors were being ignored.  Yay me.

Bug#861073: libxinerama failed to cross build at configure

2017-04-24 Thread Do Thanh Trung 

Source: libxinerama
Version: 2:1.1.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

libxinerama fails when cross-compile with dpkg-buildpackage:
$ CONFIG_SITE=/etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.armhf DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck 
dpkg-buildpackage -aarmhf

By default, in configure, "malloc0returnsnull" is "auto" and it requires 
compile and run a test code
which cannot execute when cross build.
Error:
  | checking whether malloc(0) returns NULL... configure: error: in 
`libxinerama-1.1.3/build':
  | configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling


The cross-compile could pass if option "malloc0returnsnull" is specified ("enable" or 
"disable").
I think we could add this option to debian/rules. I've attached a patch for 
this.
In the patch, option "--disable-malloc0returnsnull" is default,
but option "--enable-malloc0returnsnull" will be called if
param "malloc0returnsnull" is passed to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.


Trung.

Bug#861071: x11-common_ssh-agent can be cleaned up

2017-04-24 Thread Marc Haber 
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.7+18
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

the times of ssh 1 are long gone. Squeeze doesn't have it any more. I
don't have any older releases handy to check, but I think that it is
reasonably safe for stretch to clean up 90x11-common_ssh-agent:

As pointed out, that's a hack. More clear is this (untested) patch,
which will honor STARTSSH pulled in from, e.g. .xsessionrc

Ahhh.  Did we never get solid support in dpkg for migrating conffiles?

That was painful enough back in the XFree86 days that I remember it
still.
