Bug#960478: xorg-server: Allow XDMCP keepalives to be disabled
Package: xorg-server Version: 2:1.20.4-1 Severity: wishlist As it is, when an XDMCP session is used over TCP keepalive packets are periodically sent and the session is torn down if no replies come back. During a transient network failure, this causes an X session that could otherwise survive just fine to be terminated prematurely. While some may wish for this behaviour, perhaps to avoid a locked-up X terminal, it would be nice if there was an option to either extend the timeout so that failures of a few minutes do not cause the session to be torn down, or even better just disable the keepalives altogether. -- System Information Debian Release: 10.3 Kernel Version: Linux gwarestrin 5.2.0+ #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 20 22:11:45 AEST 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Bug#829259: x11-xserver-utils: xrandr causes short screen pause
Package: x11-xserver-utils Version: 7.7+7 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, While observing HTML5 video playback in the Chromium web browser (tested against version 34 and 51), I noticed the xrandr command causes playback to hitch for a few frames (verified using the fps counter overlay in Chromium). I am running the command: xrandr -d :0 -q The particular devices we're seeing this on are an Intel NUC6i5SYH and a Dell Optiplex 3020. lspci shows: NUC - 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sky Lake Integrated Graphics (rev 07) Optiplex - 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) The reasons we're bringing this to you is because I'm aware there have been issues with the Skylake chipset and we do not notice the issue on older hardware, such as an HP MP9 on which lspci shows: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) What's odd is it only happens if a minute or so passes between calls.

Bug#286572: xserver-xfree86: pc105 keyboard in XF86Config-4 of SUN Ultra5 renders keyboard unusable
Package: xserver-xfree86

Severity: important
After a fresh installation of sarge and a manual installation of X (via
aptitude),
XF86config contains the line
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
instead of
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
This makes the keyboard virtually unusable.

I'm no longer the maintainer of the kernel package, so I suggest that
you appeal to the new maintainers directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If they're happy with the bug report, then I certainly will not stand

If X refuses to start with Radeon chip...
Then please upgrade your kernel to 2.6.5-4 or above.
The 2.6.5-3 release contained code which attempted to load firmware
for Radeon/R128 from userspace that fails miserably when the firmware
files aren't available.
This has been reverted for now.

via_drv.o - A Backported XFree86 4.3.x/Debian Driver for VIA Video Chipsets
Hello! Since apt-get dist-upgrade provided me the long awaited xfree-4.3.0 for sid this morning, I had to rebuild a driver module for my not-yet-supported-in-4.3 graphics adapter on my noiseless epia m6000 xterm :-) As I don't expect debian's xfree-4.3 packages to include it anytime soon, I decided to properly package it this time (while getting to know dephelper a bit better...) and finally came up with the stuff in http://www.hvrlab.org/~hvr/via_drv/ ...should there exist already some other easy to use package, then please ignore this (in that case somewhat embarassing) announcement... otherwise I hope my work to be useful to others as well :-) ps: I'm not subscribed to debian-x, so please feel free to CC me... ps: ...some xfree86 driver development kit for debian might have saved me some fiddling around... maybe there is one already, and I just didn't find it? regards, -- Herbert Valerio Riedel

If it is, then the bug needs to be reassigned to X so that it
can be dealt properly.
The ring buffer is controlled by the X server. The DRM driver
is just a user. The problem here is that the X server left it
in some bozzo state and the DRM driver just used it without checking
resulting in a lockup.
Since the DRM driver does not have complete possession over the
ring buffer, it is not appropriate for it to completely reset it.

As I have stated before, all we need to resolve #142569/#156563 is for
someone who can readily reproduce the problem to tap into the kernel
driver to produce a list of events, and then do the same for the X server.
Now comparing the two should make the problem obvious.
Unfortunately it seems that no one has been willing to do that as of yet.
Until we have some hard facts, hypothesising is not going to help.
BTW Branden, you should disconnect #121335 from the rest. The issue
of dupliate release events have been worked around in 2.4.21pre. It
is also said that 2.5's new software repeat mechanism also prevents it
from happening.

It is actually possible to have two binary packages with different version
numbers in the same source package. Bash used to do it when it was in the
same source package as libreadline.

So put it in a README file somewhere...
If you're really desparate, create a priority critical debconf note so
everyone sees it :)

I appreciate your respect for the upstream authors, but I don't think
the package name is an appropriate forum to express that.
Shared library packages carry part of the soname in their names so that
multiple versions can be installed simultaneously. This does not seem
to be the case here as 3 is not related to the soname. In the event that
the mesa version number is bumped without the ABI changing, you risk
either being inconsistent or changing the package name gratuitously.

IMHO this bug is bogus. Raul's suggestion does not work, there is no
generic way to execute a command given an arbitrary shell.
What Steven Durham may have meant is that after switching to PAM, the
people who want to allow only FTP access can use something other than
/bin/true to do so, e.g., a simple list through pam_listfile.

Well as I said earlier, it's not difficult to convince me.
For ADB keyboards, you just have to enable dump_adb_input in
macintosh/adb.c and recompile your kernel. If the output shows
that you do get the release from the hardware but not the kernel
then the issue is settled and we can find out what's going wrong.
If you suspect that the problem is further down in the system,
then you could also simply add printks to the relevant interrupt
handler (easy to find as they usually call adb_input) to see if
you're getting notified or not. If you don't get an interrupt,
then you won't get any release events.

Well I don't see anything in there that shows that this is a kernel
bug. What it does show is that some people are seeing this on the
console. This means that it probably is a hardware problem.
Unfortunately this is not something that can be worked around in
software since it is easy to filter out spurious events, but it
is impossible to manufacture missing events.

Bug#166177: xserver-common: dexconf creates temporary directory outside /tmp
Package: xserver-common
Version: 4.1.0-17
Severity: normal
dexconf created a temporary directory in my home directory:
$ ls -d ~/dex*
/home/gondolin/herbert/dexconf-tmp-22005
$
This is a bad idea because if dexconf is killed with SIGKILL, or if
there is a bug in its signal handling when it is terminated more
gracefully, the directory will be left behind until it is deleted
manually.
In my case it called bomb because I wasn't running it as root so
you probably want to setup an EXIT trap as well.
Please put this directory in /tmp by default where it will be cleaned
automatically. You can always use ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} so that users can
override it if they wish.
