[Bug 424833] Re: python-webkit doesn't honor http_proxy anymore

2011-11-11 Thread George Klein
Just been hit by this in 11.10 using gramps.

Looking at the comments here and in the remote bugs, it seem that this
problem is being sloped off as somebody else's problem and/or ignored.

It's beyond me to decide which of the myriad possible pieces of software
should/could be fixing this.  Does anyone have any idea if we will ever
see any progress on this?

[Bug 868042] Re: fail to import in thunderbird

2011-11-04 Thread George Klein
I discovered the ImportExportTools add-on which has worked for the
little I've tried it for so far (mbox import).

The core import wizard goes nowhere at all for anything except address
book import, which I don't want to do so I haven't continued far enough
to see if it actually works.

[Bug 800857] [NEW] language-pack-en-base 1:11.04+20110607 adds firefox as dependency

2011-06-22 Thread George Klein
Public bug reported:

apt-get dist-upgrade today for natty wants to newly install firefox
(amongst many other packages) on a server with command line only.  It
makes no sense to require firefox on a server with no gui.

Looking at the upgrades and then their dependencies, it looks to me like
the cause of this is a new dependency on firefox-locale-en for language-
pack-en-base 1:11.04+20110607.

I know I can work around this by just doing apt-get upgrade instead
which is fine for a short while but it will increase the work in keeping
my servers up to date and, imho, will rule out a future release upgrade.

[Bug 111786] Re: Mouse disappears after kvm switch

2009-12-09 Thread George Klein
Should have posted this a while ago sorry, but ...

I started having more serious mouse problems so I bought a usb-PS2
adapter.  Since then I have seen no more problems.  I deuce from this
that the problem is either hardware or software related around the PS2
port.  Given that no-one else seems to see this, I'd guess hardware.

I don't think this issue is worth any more of your or my time so, unless
anyone else disagrees, Isuggest that this can be closed.

Thanks for your efforts.

[Bug 407862] Re: [karmic] Messages not being sent to system logs

2009-12-09 Thread George Klein
@Gigglesworth, I'm still suffering the same problem as stated above at
#42.  For now I've just set all group configs to syslog.  I did hit
another problem which was all my own work though which might be relevant
to you.  As you'll see from the dynamic file template above, rsyslog
should create a new directory /var/log/mm as the month changes.  This
didn't work for me but that was simply because rsyslog was running as
syslog:syslog but /var/log was root:root 0755.  That at least was clear
once I thought to look.

To save anyone else doing this other test (with apologies to Michael for
not simply accepting your statement) I also tested if it made any
difference putting user syslog in supplementary group syslog.  I
couldn't see any difference for rsyslog although as an interactive user
I couldn't chgrp a file to a group I wasn't a member of.

[Bug 484336] Re: /etc/rsyslog.conf permissions incorrect/missing for creation of dynamic files

2009-12-09 Thread George Klein
Just found this and it's covering similar ground to bug #407862.  From
my experience in that bug:

I agree that $DirOwner and $DirGroup should be configured.
I agree that $DirGroup, $FileGroup and $PrivDropToGroup have to be the same for 
rsyslog to create dynamic files properly.

However I don't believe $PrivDropToGroup _should_ have to be the same as
the others.

I'm also uncomfortable running rsyslog as adm as this gives access to
facilities which are irrelevant and, conversely, I don't like the idea
of putting a user in group adm (so they can see logs amongst other
things) into group syslog although that's waht I am doing at the moment.

[Bug 407862] Re: [karmic] Messages not being sent to system logs

2009-11-16 Thread George Klein
Thanks for the quick answers Michael, I'm afraid they've thrown up what
looks like a bug to me.  It's similar to this bug but I'm happy to open
a new one if that's more appropriate.

Following your answers I set the following in rsyslog.conf (plus all the other 
parts obviously):
$FileOwner syslog
$FileGroup adm
$FileCreateMode 0640
$DirOwner syslog
$DirGroup adm
$DirCreateMode 0755
$Umask 0022
$PrivDropToUser syslog
$PrivDropToGroup syslog

I want dynamic files based on severity (among other things but this is what I 
tested) using the following template:
$template tLevel, /var/log/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/%HOSTNAME%.%SYSLOGSEVERITY-TEXT%

I sent a log entry with:
logger -p local0.debug 'debug test'

and this resulted in the following syslog entry:
Nov 16 15:37:27 robbie rsyslogd: Could not open dynamic file 
'/var/log/11/16/robbie.debug' - discarding message

although ls -l /var/log/11/16 showed:
-rw-r- 1 syslog syslog  0 2009-11-16 15:37 robbie.debug
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm156681 2009-11-16 15:35 robbie.info
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm   622 2009-11-16 15:37 robbie.syslog

Yesterday when the only difference was:
$FileGroup syslog
$DirGroup syslog

robbie.debug was created and written to as I expected.  Just in case it's 
relevant I restarted rsyslog after editing the config with:
service rsyslog restart

robbie.info and robbie.syslog were created overnight owned by
syslog:syslog but I did a chown before the test I've described here.

The 2 things that look like bugs to me are:
- creating robbie.debug with the wrong group
- rsyslog being unable to write to it even with the wrong group.

[Bug 407862] Re: [karmic] Messages not being sent to system logs

2009-11-15 Thread George Klein
First - apologies for the vagueness that follows.  I'm only an amateur
and while I do record configurations I end up with, I don't record much
if anything on the way.  Second, I got here via installing rsyslog
myself on Jaunty and then upgrading to Karmic which may also have
confused things.  I currently have rsyslog 4.2.0-2ubuntu5.

Anyway, while trying to get to a setup I like, I've been having all
sorts of trouble with file/dir permissions.  I think I'm ok now and I
can get on with the other stuff I want to do but I have a couple of
observations/questions which may arise from either the package or my
fingers.

When I started looking at rsyslog after the upgrade, I found that
rsyslog.conf did not set $DirOwner or $DirGroup at all.  Having set
those the same as $FileOwner and $FileGroup rsyslog managed to create
the directories I want but I still had problems with dynafiles being
created and eventually found this bug report.

Following Rainer's link [1] in comment #28 I read in Michael's
description that $PrivDropToUser and $PrivDropToGroup should be set the
same as $FileOwner and $FileGroup.  I had $PrivDropTo as syslog:syslog
but $File as syslog:adm.  I don't believe I set any of those myself.
I've now set all the groups to syslog and things seem to be working now.

This last issue leaves me questions though:
- _must_ $PrivDropTo match $File?  I haven't spotted that as a requirement 
anywhere else or even mentioned in the docs I've read.
- should I have used syslog:syslog or syslog:adm?
- is the intention behind group adm to give read-only access to various admin 
files for appropriate users?
- if I use syslog:adm, should/must the syslog user be in group adm?

Just tried it and got the same results.

One slight possible difference was that without Option VBASupport 1
the copy macro wouldn't run, but that doesn't seem to be significant to
me as it was on a line that comes before the problem line and does what
it should.  I won't bother to re-check if this is true with 3.0 unless
it really does matter.

[Bug 386444] [NEW] openoffice calc macros fail to copy sheets

2009-06-12 Thread George Klein
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I'm trying to port an application I've written from Excel.  One of the
things I need to do is to copy a sheet using a macro.  I've tried 2
different ways of doing this and they both give problems.

Using copyByName() crashes calc.

Trying to use insertNewByName() followed by copyRange() and other
messing about is creating new Modules as well as the sheets that it
should.

I've gone round and round trying every slightly different way of
achieving what want that I can think of but they all come back to the
same problems.

Spreadsheet with macros stripped down as much as I can and still showing
the same problems attached.

Importing from Excel gave me  Option VBASupport 1 but I have also tried
commenting that out to no effect.

[Bug 377916] Re: /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf not accessed

2009-05-22 Thread George Klein
I've gone back to various man pages to make sure I'm not trying to do
anything too strange but I haven't looked at the ltsp_nbd script.  From
the in-tftpd man page, using -s path is recommended for security so
I'd like to be able to carry on using it.

Also, I have now spotted that I'm pointing to /opt/ltsp/i386/boot for
in.tftpd and was expecting lts.conf to be read from
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386.  I diff'ed the 2 directories and they are
identical except that lts.conf was only in one.  This isn't a big
surprise as I put it there :)  I can't remember what documentation
pointed me to those paths but trying to find it now, everything I read
is using different paths.

I suspect, from Oliver's comment just before this one, that adding /
to my filename line in dhcpd.conf might workaround the problem.  However
this will only work as long as all tftp'd files are in the same
directory (obviously).  Please can someone point me to something which
tells me (or just tell me) why I have two directories with the same
contents and which I should consider to be the master.  Then I'll use
that directory consistently and try out the extra /.

2009-05-18 Thread George Klein
Public bug reported:

Trying to set up dns for a thin client I found editing
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf had no effect.  Searching for help
I found a number of messages warning that incorrect formatting gets
ignored so I copied lts.conf to /etc in the chroot and ran ltsp-update-
image -a i386 (server is amd64 in case that's relevant).

This gave me a resolv.conf on the client with 000 permissions (as bug

#198376).

2009-05-18 Thread George Klein
Attachments as requested.

ltsp-utils isn't installed, I just generated the list of packages using
apt-cache search ltsp as I don't know exactly which package I should
point at, and that was an easy way to get all the versions :)

The attachment local is the script referenced from lts.conf (just in
case - I don't think it's relevant).

Both lts.conf and local are doing what I would expect (given the other
bugs I referred to above).  The only thing that's new which I've noticed
is that lts.conf has to be inside the chroot.

Now we're looking at dhcp I'd better explain my setup:  sam (.100) is my
dhcp server (and plenty of other things too), robbie (.102) is the ltsp
and tftp server and stan (.200) is the thin client I'm testing with.

I guess you'll need to see this line from inetd.conf on robbie too

I just had a similar sounding problem on Hardy.  I also had to close

For completeness sake, I had tried going offline when it wasn't

I have tested using the Alpha5 LiveCD.  The problem remains.  There is a
little more to say though...

I have changed to a newer KVM switch (to use a higher display resolution
- nothing to do with this problem).  The problem has become intermittent
now but otherwise I can't spot any difference.  There's no obvious
difference between Hardy and Intrepid.

One suspicion which I'll mention just in case it helps, is that removing
power from the docking station when the laptop is off /might/ make the
loss of mouse less frequent.  I haven't been able to spot any pattern so
I can't support this with any evidence at all - not even relative
frequency.

Let me know if you'd like any detail attaching but it didn't seem to add
anything.

[Bug 111786] Re: Mouse disappears after kvm switch

2008-01-03 Thread George Klein
Here are the attached logs from an alpha2 livecd.  I went through my
normal test:

Booted
Switched the KVM to another box
Switched back - no mouse
Unloaded and reload module psmouse - still no mouse
Pressed reset on the KVM switch - mouse comes back

No argument from me about ignoring this for a stable upgrade but it
would be good to solve for a new release.

[Bug 111786] Re: Mouse disappears after kvm switch

2007-12-12 Thread George Klein
OK, I tried this as requested but there is no change.

X41 still needs me to reset the kvm switch, another box will still bring
the mouse back by reloading the psmouse module.

I haven't completely reverted the X41 in case there are any other tests
you'd like to see on the newer kernel.  I would feel happier getting
back to just Gutsy though as this is an important box for me.  Please
let me know if there is any need to keep the newer kernel.

Another thought, in case you're not familiar with the X41, the mouse is
connected to the docking station - there is no PS/2 port on the laptop
itself.  I don't know what difference this could make but just in
case...

Thanks for looking into this.

[Bug 111786] Re: Mouse disappears after kvm switch

2007-12-11 Thread George Klein
Yes it does still happen although I have found a slightly nicer
workaround.  I am now running Gutsy here and if it helps here are some
syslog extracts:

Reloading the kernel module  with:

#modprobe -r psmouse
#modprobe psmouse

Gives the following:

Dec 11 09:19:47 len NetworkManager: debug [1197364787.754732] 
nm_hal_device_removed(): Device removed (hal udi is 
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input').

nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is 
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'). 

and I still have no mouse cursor, but pressing reset on the kvm switch
(better than unplugging but still awkward) gives:

Dec 11 09:21:06 len NetworkManager: debug [1197364866.597000]

Dec 11 09:21:07 len kernel: [68633.108000] input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as

and I do get the mouse back.

If any other info would help then please ask and I'll do my best to be
rather quicker responding this time.

[Bug 175344] Request ntfs-3g 1.1120 for Gutsy

2007-12-10 Thread George Klein
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

Please update ntfs-3g to latest, 1.1120, for Gutsy.

I have been bitten by the bug fixed in this version where you cannot
read a directory with more than about 600,000 files.  It's a blocker for
me.

Thanks,
George.

[Bug 111786] Mouse disappears after kvm switch

2007-05-02 Thread George Klein
Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to Feisty from Edgy I have a new kvm switch problem with
my Thinkpad X41.  When switching back to the X41 the mouse disappears
completely.  My preferred workaraound for this well known problem is a
little script to unload and reload the psmouse module.  This has no
effect since the upgrade.  However, it does still work on 2 other boxes
using the same kvm switch and also on Feisty.  The only way I found so
far to get the mouse back on the X41 is to unplug and replug it into the
kvm switch.

I've looked in syslog and I get the same entries from unplug-replug as I
do from unload-reload module.  I've also tried cat'ing /dev/input/mice
and there's nothing there at all.  I've also tried different paramaters
for the psmouse module.

[Bug 21878] Re: Support for encrypted root filesystem (cryptsetup)

2006-12-05 Thread George Klein
I've done some more testing now with the local-top and hook scripts from
1.0.4-8ubuntu1 (everything else was default edgy packages).  There are
two things that are still broken for me.

To be clear, I have /dev/hda3 as a LUKS partition which gets mounted on
/dev/mapper/cdisk.  This then uses lvm to give me /dev/mapper/ubuntu-
root and /dev/mapper/ubuntu-home which are mounted at the obvious
points.  I have also only installed a minimal system so I haven't tested
usplash issues I've seen elsewhere (I can do that when the basics are
working).

1. The local-top/lvm script will wait a LONG time due to the loop
waiting for the root device to appear (ubuntu-root) which can't happen
before cryptroot is run.  This is easy to bodge and I will add to bug
#69217 (although there is no visible action there).

2. The fstype test in local-top/cryptroot returns the wrong answer (ext3
not lvm).  If I bodge the test to accept ext3 then boot continues
successfully, so this is the only critical problem for me.  I looked at
the results from /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype $1 and file -Lkbs $1 at all
points of the chain getting the following results:

/dev/hda3
fstype: FSTYPE=luks FSSIZE=0
file -Lkbs: data

/dev/mapper/cdisk
fstype: FSTYPE=ext3 FSSIZE=4515147776
file -Lkbs: LVM2 (Linux Logical Volume Manager) , UUID: 
Ia7Ek2XowWxeCQlu5s5ZfdrbmKv0mTw\012- Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (large 
files)

/dev/mapper/ubuntu-root
fstype: FSTYPE=ext3 FSSIZE=838860800
file -Lkbs: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (large files)

So unfortunately neither looks good enough.

[Bug 69217] Re: lvm on cryptsetup with initramfs infinite loop

2006-12-05 Thread George Klein
I have also hit this bug (see also bug #21878).

I have /dev/hda3 as a LUKS partition which gets mounted on
/dev/mapper/cdisk. This then uses lvm to give me /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root
and /dev/mapper/ubuntu-home which are mounted at the obvious points.

As my root volume can't appear until cryptroot is run, my boot is
stalled until slumber has counted down which takes a LONG time.

[Bug 21878] Re: Support for encrypted root filesystem (cryptsetup)

2006-11-23 Thread George Klein
I'd like to test 2:1.0.4-8ubuntu1 but I can only find the source.  As
I'm testing on a small old box with just the cli system installed I
can't sensibly install the toolchain.  Is there a binary package for
edgy anywhere or can I usefully test by just taking the scripts from
this source package.

BTW testing so far with 2:1.0.3-3ubuntu3 works fine with a single
encrypted root partition.  I guess the system is too small/simple to
show up bug 62571 (although when I first tried on a usb disk I couldn't
get it to boot - I'll see if there's a relevant bug for this next)

Like hile I want to have lvm on top of my encrypted partition but this
doesn't work.  (I'm sure I saw a suggested fix somewhere but I can't
find it again).  Going back to first principles it seems to me that lvm
and cryptsetup need be addressed in the same script unless we don't want
to allow users to choose whether to put lvm on top of crypt or vice
versa (and simpler cases as well of course).
