[Bug 813755] [NEW] gnome-keyring-daemon fails to start as it can't get capabilities

2011-07-20 Thread James Westby
Public bug reported:

Hi,

With a fresh oneiric install gnome-keyring-daemon won't start for me, 
complaining about
not being able to get capabilities.

If I set the excecutable to be suid root then it starts fine.

Thanks,

James

There is only auth_self and auth_admin, correct.

However, the system adminstrator can do overrides that are more
finegrained, down to the user/group level. I believe it would be
possible for them to create a policy (on top of an Ubuntu default system
that just said "yes" rather than "auth_*") where the default was "no",
but anyone in the netdev group could do it without a password.

This isn't a policykit bug. It's not getting involved at any stage of this as
far as I can see. If network-manager wants to call it to find out if the user 
can
connect to the internet then it can be involved, but until that point there is 
nothing
to fix in that package.

I intended to make gnome-system-tools recommend gnome-about-me, but
missed this in my upload, sorry. That would have installed it on Xubuntu,
but I'm not sure if it would have been pulled in on upgrades, I would
have to ask.

We could fix this in an SRU.

It's that step that fixed it. ~/.local/share/mime isn't being read

[Bug 376145] Re: gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor crashed with SIGSEGV in gdu_pool_get_presentables()

2009-09-30 Thread James Westby
I've been looking at what we think is the cause of this and other bugs tonight
with Chris.

I've been using gdu-notification-daemon, but we think it is the same root cause,
a timeout on the GetAll call in the gnome-disk-utility code.

Based on Chris' idea we added sleep(5) call to devicekit-disks-daemon as the
first thing it does. This makes the issue more reproducible. Given that at 
startup
the system is loaded it makes sense that longer time to execute causes the 
issue.

This sleep is under the 25 seconds timeout that the activation has (different
to the call timeout), so that's not likely to be kicking in (barring accounting
bugs), and even if it does it should give an error response, not cause a call
timeout client-side.

This reliably gives a client-side timeout with the default timeout. We tweaked
that timeout to see what happens.

  * On my machine it is around a 20.15 second timeout that you get the switch.
Less than this and it times out, more and it works.
  * The time taken to get the timeout error, and the time taken to get the call
 return are ~about equal at 5.something seconds, nowhere near the actual
 timeout specified.
  * Reducing the sleep to 3 seconds doesn't have a linear effect on the issue.
You have to reduce the timeout by a lot more than 2 seconds to see the 
failures
there. I haven't investigated this relationship further or looked for 
discontinuities.

My current suspicion is that this is a D-Bus bug. Some sort of error means that
when it gets the real response it instead returns the timeout response when the
specified timeout is less than some threshold. I'm not sure why there seems to
be a relationship between that threshold and the amount of time that it takes to
start the service though.

Please bear in mind that this is just my blind pokings, and that nothing I say
should be taken as fact. It may well be that this is the wrong tree to be 
barking
up in some way.

Thanks,

James

Yeah, not allowing some things to be disabled may be sensible anyway. I
haven't looked at the full list of conversions, bug I believe it includes
GDM? That may well be something someone wants to disable?

Still though, allowing to control the things that are still init scripts
would be good.

Those fixes will be great if we do ship it, thanks.

'start'/'stop' is cleaner, but if only init scripts can be changed I don't
think it makes any practical difference.

[Bug 307019] Re: ecryptfs Private directory not mounted after changing password in users-admin

2009-09-22 Thread James Westby
I'm having trouble coming up with an elegant way to add the special
case for the user themselves.

Adding a button to use gnome-about-me seems the best way, but
asking gnome-about-me to just run the password changer isn't
currently possible, and not trivial to implement for me. We could
run the whole of gnome-about-me, but that obscures the password
change button. Running gnome-about-me instead of the whole
properties dialog also means you can't change groups and the like.

Due to the architecture of g-s-t et. al. I'm not sure how to re-use
what is there and just have the process change the password without
having the backend make the change as well.

Any assistance would be welcome.

Thanks,

James

As we have now moved to Upstart for some services, which doesn't
yet have a general mechanism for disabling services (though there
are various ways to acheive it), that we should perhaps not ship/hide

The last configuration has

That's what the patch in this bug does. Kees implemented a better
solution for us which gave us encryption of the same strength as

Writing MD5 is better than 3DES, but should still be avoided.

Well, the patch is fine as far as it goes. The main thing to add would
be SHA support.

I would like to see the default be for the strongest that stb knows
about, so that when the switch is made next time the unkown scheme
translates to SHA512 being used, rather than 3DES again.

I think that would be good, but as you say it's not straightforward.

Creating the pipe and passing the password over isn't too much work. I
think it will require changing the D-Bus interface though.

[Bug 287134] Re: users-admin sets up maximum 8 character password

2009-09-02 Thread James Westby
Hi Milan,

This would be good to take upstream at minimum. Moving 
away from a binary MD5/3DES choice would be better. Moving
to PAM would be better still, as you get this for free and there
is no danger of it getting out of date again and causing a similar
issue.

Thanks,

James

Ah, my apologies.

So changing gst to use pam buys us nothing over just special casing the
current user?

Well, pam can provide enough to ecryptfs for it to do it's job, so going
through pam would buy us this, and much more as well.

I'm not sure about DBus, I think it can provide a connection with some
level of security, but I'm also leaning towards a pipe being the
best solution.

It's more than eCryptfs, it allows us to use pam, which is a neccessity
in my eyes, having more than one thing handling all this stuff is going
to keep causing problems.

I'm pretty certain that If we just pass the new password to pam then it
can do the rest. I belive that using "sudo passwd " doesn't break
eCryptfs.

Thanks for taking on this task.

We can't fix "usermod -p" to go through pam, as pam requires the plaintext 
password so that the
modules can do as they like with it (which ecryptfs needs I believe). usermod 
-p takes the encrypted
password.

It does this as the separation between gst and stb means that you want to crypt 
the password in one
process and then pass it over, rather than sending the plaintext. This 
separation is needed for the
policykit stuff, and it is chosen to do it over DBus.

When changing your own password you don't need polkit, and so you can do it in 
process (as
gnome-about-me does), and so use pam with the plaintext password.

Now, Kees' proposal for the common case of changing your own password is to 
hand off to
gnome-about-me, gst could do this in-process for the same effect.

So, to fix this properly in gst for the other cases we need to do something 
different. Some
ideas

  * Rely on DBus security policies to stop snooping. I'm not sure how reliable 
this is.
  * DBus-ssl: negotiate an encrypted channel using DH key exchange or similar 
over DBus. I like the idea but it's rather over-engineered unfortunately :-)
  * gst requests that stb create a named pipe on the fs that it then writes the 
plaintext to. Kees would be able to say how secure that would be.
  * Drop DBus and move to a suid helper, still protected by polkit, and pass 
the plaintext using stdin or similar.

Having something like the above would clearly be a better fix, but is more work 
than the proposed
simple fix for the common case.

The backend still would need the plaintext to run that wouldn't it?

[Bug 395281] Re: gdm 2.26 criteria for which users shown in greeter list are bad

2009-07-03 Thread James Westby
gdm uses ck-history to find recent users that had ck sessions. We currently
end up with ck sessions for some system users, so they can appear here, which
should probably be fixed independently.

gdm then parses this and removes some users based on a hard-coded exclude
list, which doesn't include a lot of system users.

It also filters users based on a minimum UID that is lower than the min UID
for non-system users, so if someone has a lot of system users they will show
up based on that.

Suggested fix:

  * Increase the min UID
  * As users from /etc/passwd are excluded by the checks before the exclude
 check, add them to the exclude hash so that they don't enter the list via
 ck.

Thanks,

James

2009-04-07 Thread James Westby
Hi,

I've attached a patch to the upstream bug report that detects
packagekit and only offers to search if it is available. I think
we should either disable this feature by default or use that
patch (which I'm not totally confident about without review
from upstream).

There is a second issue complicating this though. If you have
packagekit available and try to search then it will currently
fail as our packagekit is too old. We could also patch that in
nautilus, but that's extra work and more divergence (the
patch would be much less risky though).

I'd like the opinion of Sebastian and Sebastien as to what we
should do for this release.

Ah,

You only have a single panel. A second panel would have used to have 
gone in the middle of the two screens.

Yes, your case would be worse with this patch. This patch is a trade-off
though, so there will be some.

With xrandr 1.3 it will be possible to make the behaviour configurable,
but that's not an option for Jaunty.

There is also a gconf key you can set that allows you to move apps 
above the top of the screen under compiz. I'm not suggesting that
it be the documented way to do this, but setting it by default could be
an option.

Apparently compiz upstream don't think you should be allowed to do it,
because you can get in to a bad situation when you can't access a window
anymore, which is why it is not the default, but it would be possible to
override that. Also, I'm not sure I entirely agree with the argument
as I phrased it as you still have alt-tab etc., but I may have 
incorrectly characterised their position.

I don't have references to hand I'm afraid, but I found them originally
with a minimal amount of googling.

Here's a debdiff for this bug. I've tested it and it appears to do what it

[Bug 192009] Re: gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear

2009-03-31 Thread James Westby
Hi,

There is a patch in the upstream bug now that prefers LVDS outputs,
which should give a better experience for laptop users as their panel
will tend to stay on the laptop panel.

It's partly just a stopgap until you can select the primary output in the
capplet though.

Would that patch be suitable for Jaunty?

Thanks,

James

[Bug 352033] [NEW] "mailto:" with attachments doesn't work due to not url-decoding the path

2009-03-30 Thread James Westby
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

I reported http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577375 about 
mailto not working with attach.

This breaks "bzr send" which I use a lot, and so it is quite an irritation, 
though attaching the file by hand after the error works, though tedious.

Thanks,

It's a bit difficult to know what to do here without a specification for

Is there something we can do with evolution in Jaunty in the meantime? Is this

You have a Virtual option set in your xorg.conf, and that is preventing

Has the tool ever offered to change this so that you could use dual

Hi,

Does the "xrandr" command show the correct resolution for your external

Please attach the output of running "xrandr" from the command line here.

Please also attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

[Bug 29787] Re: Backspace key in GNU Screen not detected correctly

Hi,

I'm closing the xfce4-terminal task, as that uses vte, so if vte is fixed
xfce4-terminal will be fixed.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

When you start your session and don't have your custom theme, can
you tell us if "gnome-settings-daemon" is running?

Could you also attach your ~/.xsession-errors file to the report please?

Thanks,

James

[Bug 282739] Re: Changing Resolution in Monitor Resolution Settings has no effect

2008-10-14 Thread James Westby
Hi,

Thanks for testing. It sounds like the problem is indeed
with the gnome-display-properties tool. I'm not sure what
it would be though.

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

Please open a terminal and run "xev" then while it is running press
to change the volume by one step using the volume keys. Do you
get a single keypress, or multiple?

Thanks,

James

Hi,

I agree with the duplicate possibility, and so I think your bug is a duplicate 
of
bug 269083, so I marked it as such. If you receive any crashes with the fixed
version of the package (which I am preparing now), please again use apport
to submit them, and we can examine them.

Thanks,

James
