I thought it was odd. I abandoned Linux as a router shortly after that
(although I love Tomato), so no I haven't done any further testing.

[Bug 1011790] [NEW] freerdp segfaults if $HOME is unset

2012-06-11 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.04 i386
FreeRDP 1.0.1

LTSP calls xfreerdp from xinit, but the process dies unless we first do

export HOME=${HOME:-/root}

in /usr/share/ltsp/xinitrc on the thin client. Other users have reported
that this can be replicated by doing

unset HOME
xfreerdp host

on any non-thin host.

[Bug 351408] [NEW] tbf kills torrents

2009-03-30 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

I've been using a QOS script for years to keep voip and general internet
usage usable with torrents running on the same connection. Until
recently this script has worked very well. Now torrents are seeding very
slowly, but return to maximum speed immediately when the QOS script is
unloaded.

Reproducing this problem is very simple:

1. Seed some active torrents without limiting your upload rate.
2. Code:

tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: tbf rate 675kbit latency 50ms burst
1540

where eth1 is the connected to the internet with a routable IP address
on a connection that is limited to greater than 675 kbps by the ISP.

3. Watch your torrent upload speed drop to 10 KiB/s or less within seconds.
4. Code:

sudo tc qdisc del dev eth1 root  2 /dev/null  /dev/null

5. Watch your upload speed return to normal within seconds.

[Bug 319214] [NEW] network stalls using r8169 and mtu 2550

2009-01-20 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

My desktop's onboard realtek gigabit network adapter supports an mtu up
to 7200 bytes. It is connected to a Netgear Prosafe gigabit switch that
supports mtu up to 9k. An ubuntu firewall/file server on the network has
its mtu set to 9k.

When I set the mtu on the desktop to any value higher than 2550 the
internet appears to function as normal, even at full speed transfers
(3000/640 kbps). However file transfers between the desktop and the
server stop and start intermittently. I have seen this intermittent
behaviour consistently using scp, nfs/cp, nfs/nautilus, and iperf.
Setting the mtu on the desktop to 2550 or less results in uninterrupted
transfers of expected speed (250 mbps+). dmesg shows no unusual entries
when the problem is occurring.

[Bug 87805] Re: users and groups empty since upgrade

2008-12-05 Thread David Burgess
I have this problem, although not directly due to an upgrade. I had to
reinstall 8.10 from scratch (upgrade from 8.04 was a bomb). I left my
/home partition intact. I then attempted to restore my users' accounts
and passwords by pasting lines from backed-up /etc/passwd, group,
shadow, and gshadow files. I didn't replace the new file entirely from
backup, just lines pertinent to my 1000+ uid users.

Overall the operation appears to be a success; my users can log in and
their files and settings are intact. But there are some odd side-
effects, like my primary login (uid 1000) was removed from the admin
group in the process. I'm pretty sure I didn't do that manually, but I
had to boot up in recovery mode to re-add it. I'm pretty sure my messing
around with those four files caused all my users to disappear from that
window.

So maybe I'm the bug in this scenario. [ducks.]

[Bug 304298] [NEW] / partition is read-only after upgrading 8.04 - 8.10

2008-12-01 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

1) Release: Freshly upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 via GUI Update Manager
2) Package version: Unknown package
3) Expected: system to boot normally immediately after upgrade, as it always 
did before the upgrade
4) What happened: Quoting from my posts on ubuntuforums.org on this topic:
/boot is on its own ext2 partition
/ is on a 3-disk raid5, md0, xfs
/home is on a 3-disk raid5, md1, xfs (same 3 disks, different member partitions)
swap partitions on each of the same 3 disks
I have a fourth disk with a couple partitions acting as hot spares for md0 and 
md1

When I try to boot the system normally from the hdd, I get a maintenance
shell and some errors, all indicating that / is read-only. It tells me
to manually check my fs for errors, but 'xfs_repair -d /dev/md0' fails.
'xfs_repair -L /dev/md0' should kill the fs jounral, but that also
fails.

'mount -o remount,rw /' gives some error (I don't have access to this
machine at the moment), and / is still mounted ro. If I do a 'mount' it
shows that / is mounted rw, probably because mtab is not writable. 'cat
/proc/mdstat' shows that my raids are healthy.

So unable to get past my maintenance shell, I saved dmesg to a writable
partition and booted from a live cd. I used 'mdadm -A /dev/md0' to
assemble my array and then ran 'xfs_repair -d /dev/md0'. It made some
repairs, I rebooted from the hdd, but / is still ro.

I go back to the live cd, assemble the array, and rerun 'xfs_repair -d
/dev/md0' but no errors this time. I try 'xfs_repair -L /dev/md0' to
kill the journal, reboot from the hdd, and still / is ro.

Re: [Bug 219473] Re: no policykit access on ltsp thin client

2008-06-12 Thread David Burgess
There were users logged in on 2 thin clients at that time and nobody on the
server. For some reason the first command listed 2 sessions per logged-in
user. Both commands were run by uid 1000, so session 4 or 5.

I should also mention that the network in question uses the
LDM_DIRECTX=True option in lts.conf, making for an unencrypted ssh
connection between client and server. I'm not sure if this is relevant or
not.

[Bug 226014] [NEW] blacklisted e1000 module still loading

2008-05-02 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

My Intel motherboard has onboard intel GBE. I am also using an intel pro
1000 PT card. Both should be using the e1000e driver, but the latter
loads the e1000 module by default
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/222831), so lsmod
shows both the e1000 and e1000e modules loaded on a fresh boot.

I added a line blacklist e1000 to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist,
but after a reboot e1000 is loaded again for the pro 1000 pt. This can
be corrected by doing rmmod e1000e  rmmod e1000  modprobe e1000e 
/etc/init.d/networking restart. I'm not sure if it's necessary to
restart the networking but it works.

I'm afraid my original description was incomplete. In fact I

know whether would work with the hardware in question or not.

[Bug 219473] [NEW] no policykit access on ltsp thin client

2008-04-19 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

Not sure if this should be pinned to policykit or the ltsp project.

The unlock button does not work in control panels such as users
settings on thin clients. Is it possible to implement this? Is this a
bug or a feature? Some of my staff are administrators and should be able
to add users but they do not have access to the server room. In the days
before policykit, Ubuntu administrator's were able to add users without
having to know CLI.

[Bug 207509] [NEW] / is read-only after wubi install

2008-03-26 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

Attempted 4 times wubi install using Ubuntu 8.04 beta x86_64 extracted
iso. Attempted 1 time wubi install using x86 extracted iso on same
computer.

wubi.exe appears to run fine, reboots and installer appears to run fine
until second reboot. Second reboot shows ubuntu splash screen with
progress bar to completion, but then gdm doesn't start. Screen reverts
to logging console.

Some investigation shows that / is mounted read-only (/dev/loop0) and
lots of I/O errors. Sometimes I got a tty login prompt and sometimes
not, but was never able to login.

Booting in recovery mode sometimes produced a shell and sometimes not,
but in every case / was mounted read-only.

I'm not sure what info to provide, so rather than spend hours hand-
typing the dmesg output or flooding this report with all kinds of
shotgun info that may or may not be useful, I'm seeking feedback on the
type of information that would be useful to developers.

[Bug 130075] Re: Random pauses when transferring data at gigabit speeds with forcedeth driver

2007-12-17 Thread David Burgess
The fact that Rodrigo fixed this by using the noapic boot option led
me to do some more reading into APIC, and I am convinced that there is a
reasonable chance that this problem is due to poor APIC support on my
motherboard, which, if true,  could also validate Miravlix' theory.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to test the noapic option as my board
is away on RMA. I will be testing this when it returns. I've read that
other users, having disabled apic on their boards, were able to reenable
it after a bios update.

I have also learned that in time, many great things come from the able
kernel team. Here's to hoping.

Re: [Bug 130075] Re: Random pauses when transferring data at gigabit speeds with forcedeth driver

2007-10-13 Thread David Burgess
I have to agree that this doesn't look like a hardware problem. If it were,
then how would one explain different kernels behaving differently?

Parenthetically, I have posted some throughput benchmarks for a handful of
nics on the m0n0wall forum for any interested. And no, I have never seen the
nforce GBE lose its interrupt or cease up for any reason in my m0n0walls,
even under full bench load, but then again, m0n0wall doesn't use SMP either.

On 10/13/07, BullCreek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 More testing with these boards and latest Gutsy (2.6.22-14-generic x86)
 yields the following observations above and beyond those previously
 reported:

 1.  It still locks up under Gutsy latest (I can't tell any change
 between 2.6.22-12 and 2.6.22-14).  Someone should probably report this
 as a problem to the kernel mailing list or whoever maintains the
 forcedeth driver.

 2.  It isn't hardware though.  I booted a XenSource 4.0.1 install in the
 system (partly to test a different distro and partly to see if they had
 support for these nforce boards because SuperMicro makes a dual socket
 Barcelona board based on the big brother workstation version of this
 NF570 chipset that looks fairly tasty except it has the same dual nforce
 LAN setup).  The Xen kernel gives the same spurious too many
 iterations but unlike Ubuntu, refused to lock up even after hours of
 serious abuse.  XenSource's kernel is a stripped down version of 2.6.18
 based on CentOS 4.4 I believe.

 3.  FWIW, the cheap PCIe Marvell 88E8053 based NICs from Rosewill
 mentioned earlier do seem to work reliably in Gutsy (although the
 requisite sky2 module is a nightmare on other platforms including Xen).
 I've transfered TB of data both ways with it via NFS in Gutsy with no
 problem other than high CPU usage (see next item).

 4.  Both the Marvell and the Nforce hardware can't hold a candle to
 Intel as far as CPU offloading goes.  For troubleshooting this problem,
 I used an old 1.8Ghz P4 (single core) system running Feisty with an
 intel 82547EI gigabit adapter on the MB - it never goes above 50% CPU
 usage serving or pulling at 1Gbps - whereas the Marvell and Nforce
 solutions routinely use most of what a 2.1GHz dual core Athlon 64 X2
 system has to offer, just to run iperf!  I know I could make this CPU
 usage go down by enabling jumbo frames across the board, but that
 introduces a whole other list of compatibility problems I don't want to
 face.

 Long story short - you get what you pay for I guess. It's a shame,
 because the 6 channel SATA2 controller on these Nforce 570 boards seems
 to perform quite nicely and reliably using mdadm and RAID5 or RAID6.  If
 the dual nforce LAN worked, the board would be quite a steal for $80 and
 another $80 or so for a fast Athlon X2 proc - but unfortunately, it
 doesn't.

2007-09-29 Thread David Burgess
Do I understand correctly that this will be an issue with my
motherboard as long as I am using more than one core of a multicore
cpu?

How in the world did my motherboard make it onto AMD's list of
recommended motherboards for a dual-core AMD cpu?

And how can Nvidia market this as their stable Business Platform?
I'm feeling cheated. If Steen's post is correct, then my motherboard
clearly doesn't do what it claims to do.

And if this is truly a hardware issue then we should see the problem
occurring in other smp-using OSes too, right? Has anybody seen
problems or reports of problems with this in Windows, for example?

This is disappointing. I thought I did my research.

 it probably needs to get more attention and documentation - as I

 FWIW, I do notice that Asus uses Broadcom LAN rather than Nvidia's on
 their AMD server boards that otherwise use the rest of nforce.  I wonder
 if this is why?  Miravlix, do you have any links to threads where this
 has been discussed in public forum before or is it just your personal

2007-09-25 Thread David Burgess
iperf -c machine1 -d doesn't lock mine up, but adding -p 2 (any
number of multiple threads) will do it every time, although not
necessarily right away.

And yes, this makes the forcedeth driver virtually useless on a
gigabit network. My findings were the same, only a reboot will bring
the interface back online.

On 9/25/07, BullCreek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I've played around with it a bit more, and even with the options
 max_interrupt_work=20 set in /etc/modprobe.d/forcedeth, it still
 happens.  Only additional thing to report, is I happened upon an easy
 way to reproduce the hangup every time:

 1.  Login to machine1 which has a gigabit ethernet card in it and is
 attached to a gigabit switch.  Run iperf -s

 2.  Login to a machine that has the gigabit forcedeth adapter in it -
 also hooked up to a gigabit switch.  Run iperf -c machine1 -d.

 The command in step two generates a lot of traffic in that it tells it
 to test speeds going both ways at once.  On both my forcedeth systems,
 it will lock up the interface almost immediately, requiring a full
 reboot (i.e. /etc/init.d/networking restart has no effect).  Note the
 problem only occurs under heavy load - if you just run iperf -c machine1
 without the -d option, it usually won't lock up.

 Should we report this bug to the kernel mailing list?  I see that back
 in August, someone reported similar behavior in 2.6.22.1 but said adding
 the forcedeth.max_interrupt_work=20 option to their bootline fixed it
 (FWIW, I tried that and just go invalid option with feisty).  Here is
 the thread:

 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/5/92

 Does anyone know how to tell if the options in modprobe.d are in effect
 - dmesg doesn't show anything and lsmod doesn't have any flags?  I have
 tried putting the appropriate line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, in
 /etc/modprobe.d/options, and in /etc/modprobe.d/forcedeth and as best as
 I can tell none have had any effect.

 P.S.  I'm now wishing I had spent a little more and bought Intel boards

[Bug 122972] Re: logout stalls until esd is killed

2007-09-21 Thread David Burgess
I implemented the workaround outlined here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/101946/comments/2

which worked, but only on a fresh install. If I were to reverse the
workaround I could tell you whether or not it was still an issue, but if
the answer is no, then reinstalling at this point is unpalatable.

[Bug 130075] Re: Random pauses when transferring data at gigabit speeds with forcedeth driver

2007-08-09 Thread David Burgess
I'm getting this message in Edubuntu Feisty AMD64 while doing tests with
iperf on a gigabit link. Both iperf client and server are using the
forcedeth driver on identical nic/motherboards. While the failing driver
is running in the OS mentioned above, I've had no trouble on the second
machine running Ubuntu server 7.04 AMD64.

I've found some potentially related threads in other forums:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/08/msg00274.html
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=57791page=11


Here the command that causes it for me:

iperf -c 192.168.0.195 -i 2 -f mbps -t 30 -d -P 16

-P 8 doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Here's the partial output of dmesg when the link goes down:

[ 1235.537521] eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 1247.641652] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
[ 1247.641657] eth1: Got tx_timeout. irq: 0036
[ 1247.641660] eth1: Ring at 7b5ec000: next 2597442 nic 2597186
[ 1247.641662] eth1: Dumping tx registers
[ 1247.641667]   0: 0036 00ff 0003 017203ca   
 

I tried bringing down the link, reloading the forcedeth module and
bringing the link back up, but then dmesg | tail gives:

[ 1301.525982] eth1: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01043:816a bound to :00:14.0
[ 1301.553024] eth1: no link during initialization.
[ 1301.553263] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

although the interface is connected and lit up.

As per somebody's recommendation from an above-linked thread, I tried
adding the following option to the forcedeth driver at boot, but I
haven't succeeded in doing so:

options forcedeth max_interrupt_work=20

I've also attached the output of sudo lspci -vvn.

[Bug 131166] Re: apt-get update deletes local Packages.gz file

2007-08-08 Thread David Burgess
I can't recreate this in Edubuntu 7.04 amd64. I followed your steps and
after running apt-get update five times the Packages.gz file is still
there.

[Bug 101946] Re: [edubuntu feisty] ltsp client and server sound problem

2007-07-07 Thread David Burgess
I'm using Feisty release and Andrew's fix restored sound to my thin
client but not to my server.

A fresh install (formatting / but not /home), followed by Andrew's fix
preserved sound on my thin client and server. Thanks, Andrew. I hope
this will be fixed in Gutsy, if not in Feisty. I can't imagine every
user having to reinstall their system after learning about this.

[Bug 122972] Re: logout stalls until esd is killed

2007-07-02 Thread David Burgess
I have investigated this somewhat further and found that if I do in
gnome-terminal while logged into X on the server

$ esd
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused

It appears that esound is not able to run, although enable sofware
sound mixing (ESD) is selected in System  Preferences  Sound.

If I'm not mistaken, pulseaudio is the appropriate sound device on a
thin client. I'm sure in my steps to reproduce bug I should have
included 2a. Change Volume Control Applet device to Pulseaudio.
Although I have changed the device back to the server's hardware setting
(HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer)) when logged into the server, there appears to
be another esound setting somewhere that needs to be changed back
manually if not automatically when logged into the server.

I checked /etc/esound/esd.conf but saw no such setting. Likewise in
gconf-editor.

[Bug 122972] logout stalls until esd is killed

2007-06-29 Thread David Burgess
Public bug reported:

Fresh install of Edubuntu server x86_64 Feisty. Steps to reproduce bug
100% of the time:

1. Create user
2. Boot thin client and login with username
3. Log out of thin client
3. Login to server with username
4. Click the logout button
5. Click any of the logout options

The computer is not totally frozen; I can still move the mouse and if
there is music playing it continues playing. I can still use tty and
ssh.

If I login to tty1 with a different user and do
ps -u guest  echo  output.normal
while in an X session with guest, then after trying to logout, do
ps -u guest  echo  output.frozen
then
diff output.normal output.frozen
I see
3c3
  7879 ?00:00:00 x-session-manag
---
  7879 ?00:00:01 x-session-manag
19a20
  8631 ?00:00:00 esd

which looks like esd has started with the attempt to logout. If I do
sudo kill -9 8631
then I get back to my gdm login screen, as if the esd was causing the hang.
