Dug further on this and the issue is an ancient TLS version being used
on the server, so this bug can be closed.  BTW is there any way for me
to close the bug myself since I filed it?  Thnx -

[Bug 1880018] [NEW] Notifications unreadable due to dark on dark text

2020-05-21 Thread Mark - Syminet
Public bug reported:

Upon upgrade to focal notifications are black text on very dark grey
background, rendering them unreadable.  I've attached a screenshot of
how it looks after the upgrade.

Hovering over the notification in the popup makes the text turn the
correct light color.

To make it readable, was able to change the CSS at line #1631 in this
file:

/usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css

...to make the notifications background lighter, like so:

[...]

.notification-banner,
.notification-banner:hover,
.notification-banner:focus {
  font-size: 10pt;
  width: 34em;
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 6px 4px;
  color: #D3DAE3;
/*  background-color: #383C4A; */
  background-color: #636883;

...not great but makes it readable at least.

[Bug 1849156] Re: systemd-timesyncd.service broken on upgrade to 19.10 if ntp was installed

2020-02-10 Thread Mark - Syminet
Got bit by this as well, recall fixing it a few years ago but must have
clobbered my changes on upgrade bionic -> eoan?  Having VirtualBox
installed broke it, fix was to comment out this line in
/lib/systemdd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d and restart systemd:

ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/VBoxService

Don't recall being asked about a config file change during upgrade
although maybe it did and didn't remember.  Further info here:

[Bug 1860824] [NEW] IMAP with STARTTLS on port 143 is broken

2020-01-24 Thread Mark - Syminet
Public bug reported:

Just upgraded from eoan -> fossa to test.  Incoming mail is configured
to use STARTTLS over port 143 and works fine in eoan and bionic.

But in fossa, upon startup IMAP immediately fails with error message:

'The reported error was "Error performing TLS handshake: An unexpected
TLS packet was received."'

...no incoming mail and none of the folders will open.

Workaround: Switch account configuration to use TLS directly over
dedicated port 993

Then everything works as normal.  But users for whom port 993 is not an
option, no incoming mail or access to their mailfolders.

[Bug 1813662] Re: Cannot build VM

2019-04-30 Thread Mark - Syminet
Hilko, you probably know this but it looks like in the original thread
here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759725

...that this could be fixed thusly:

To have this automatically happen with each new kernel, create
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/statoverride:

  #!/bin/sh
  version="$1"
  # passing the kernel version is required
  [ -z "${version}" ] && exit 0
  dpkg-statoverride --add root root 0644 /boot/vmlinux-${version} --update

...can libguestfs package ship that script?  Or would that be a policy
violation of some sort?

It looks like if upon installation short script could be placed in
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/statoverride, along with a "chmod 0644
/boot/vmlinuz*", then all those annoying bugreports from ubuntu users
should go away.

Absolutely baffling that it is allowed for stuff like this to be removed
without anyone considering the ramifications for the users... what is
software without usefulness to its users?

Anyway maybe the solution to this is an AppImage?  Compile a binary with
all dependent libs in the same folder and run the script.  Run it
directly regardless of what dist anyone is using.

This is fixed in Bionic 18.04, however the parameter

changed for upgrading hosts that had it previously set to 1.

This is still an issue in Bionic.

It has been fixed upstream in 3.3.2 (Bionic currently is 3.3.1), see
last post by upstream here:
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/21

Patch is here: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/22

Looks like smbclient output was changed, which broke some regexes in
BackupPC checking for success.

[Bug 1315834] Re: 1002:983d [Acer Aspire V5-122P] Unable to adjust screen brightness using Radeon driver

2015-09-18 Thread Mark - Syminet
Also Confirmed - vendor issue, not Ubuntu - BIOS upgrade fixed
brightness / suspend issues as well for me.  Everything now works
flawlessly.

A bit OT but in case others arrive here via google: the V5-122P BIOS
updates *require* you to be running Windows 8 or newer.  If you aren't
dual booting into Windows, Acer forcing a Windows 8 binary in order to
update the BIOS makes for a *very* bad day.  FreeDOS does not work, not
even WindowsPE on 32-bit works - it has to be Windows 8.

Note being, when looking to buy hardware in the future not only will be
googling linux compatability, but also checking to make sure  the vendor
is releasing BIOS patches which are easily installed using Linux as
well.

[Bug 765735] Re: mountall should cause fsck to show progress on text console

2012-10-15 Thread Mark - Syminet
Thanks Steve for taking the time to explain.  This is exactly it -
people think that plymouth is only annoying graphical stuff without
realizing that upstart is replacing the System-V init entirely - already
has for the symlinks in /etc/init.d.  And the way upstart communicates
with the display (text or graphical - does not matter) is through
plymouth.  Which is why if you do a hacked removal of plymouth, upstart
jobs don't show up on the boot messages - only the old System-V jobs do.

I have only ubuntu servers here but will take a look at desktop this
week.  If desktop has a progress bar during fscks, then I guess one
approach might be to merge that with details so that we can toggle
between them using esc?  I don't think anybody would mind that much,
so long as we have at least some way to get the progress info (graphical
or otherwise).

Surprise, surprise.

 @Steve: Would you then consider picking up the change developped by

 I don't think this is the right way to address this issue.  This really
 needs to happen transparently, without having to change any config files.  I
 think the best way to address this would be a change to the plymouth details
 theme, to make it process fsck progress information the way the ubuntu theme
 does.
 

I've browsed other bug reports and can responibly say that unless plymouth is 
removed as a 
a strong dependency from the mountall - it is HARMFUL TOWARD FREE _ FREE _ 
SOFTWARE.

 Bug description:

  mountall should cause fsck to show progress information (-C 0).
 
  Especially on large FS that take very long to fsck (sometimes many hours) it 
 is very important 
  to know that the fsck isn't actually hanging and still working.
  It is not possible to log in via console or ssh to check the status even for 
 filesystems that are not boot- essential.
 
  Plymouth splash screen is disabled as this machine is a server.
 
  This behaviour has caused trouble several times already as the system
  was believed to be hanging and unresponsive and got rebooted while the
  fsck was still running.

[Bug 765735] Re: mountall should cause fsck to show progress on text console

2012-10-12 Thread Mark - Syminet
I read some other thread regarding Ubuntu making plymouth a too-strong 
dependency.  et. al., so I guesss this is our bug.   Most importantly, this: 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/556372

...to which you ignored your users?  And this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/553285

...to which

It's increasingly possible that you have bug reporters who are capable
of what they are doing, yet thwarted by best approach methods
determined by people who are looking out for their own best interests.
Although I might not question your take, if you would like this to go
away then your users would greatly appreciate an explicitly sound
explanation as to why you've decided to ram plymouth, which apparently
ignores the console,  our throats.

I've browsed at least a half-dozen other bug reports, some of them very long, 
which do not exist in debian systems.  
Although debian is a pain too, at least they are open about everything and 
those of us wiling and capable of modifying C code,  are not unilaterally 
thrown into the dustbin.   

If someone at Canonical is willing to get onto a con-call regarding your
userbase, I am happy to do so.

This is an Ubuntu-specific bug.  Politically saying, that freedom should
extend to new users.  Hiding the boot process behind a compiled C
program is a BAD THING.  Our users should always have the option to
understand and learn from the boot process from any terminal.  And this
should be an easy thing for them to do.

Regarding this, I rebuilt a mountall package that fixed this bug and uploaded 
it to my PPA about two years ago.  

I added the --fsck-console option to mountall, and then added the
option to enable this at boot time by adding the line FSCKCONSOLE=yes
to /etc/defaults/rcS.  From the changelog:

   * Added --fsck-console parameter to use console progress bar.  To
 enable, add FSCKCONSOLE=yes to /etc/defaults/rcS. 

My PPA package is still sitting on Launchpad here:
https://launchpad.net/~mark-syminet/+archive/syminet/+packages

If this seems a good approach, I'm willing to spend the time to take a
look at this again but only if someone is willing to consider getting it
into the distribution, since I only want to use distribution packages on
servers for critical boot-things like this.

This really is a particularly nasty bug because servers can run for a
long time without a power cut, etc. - but then that fateful day arrives
and we are stuck without any idea if the remote machine is even hung,
while bosses and customers are screaming about downtime demanding ETA's.

 Bug description:
  Binary package hint: postfix
 
  Ubuntu 9.10, via Update Manager.
 
  SOLUTION:
 
  Look for /etc/group.lock, /etc/passwd.lock and /etc/shadow.lock files
  and remove them.
 
  Be careful to only remove the files ending in 'lock' or else you might
  damage your system.
 
  Please do not add comments just containing Me too, instead please provide 
 any information that could indicate why the files were locked:
   * the list of locked files:
  ls /etc/passwd.lock /etc/shadow.lock /etc/group.lock /etc/gshadow.lock
 
   * check the /var/log/auth.log for any message that could indicate the
  failure of any other tool (prior to the failure which reported the
  locked file)
 
   * any abnormal operation on the machine (reset, shutdown while the
  computer is still running)
 
  == SRU template ==
 
  [IMPACT]
 
   * Locked files prevent adding/removing/modifying system users  groups
   * This can result in failure to upgrade/remove packages that use system 
 user names
   * The applied fix is to clear the locks on booting.
 
  [TESTCASE]
 
   * $ sudo touch /etc/passwd.lock
   * $ sudo adduser testing523896
   * FAIL
   * Upgrade to new package
   * $ sudo adduser testing523896
   * FAIL
   * $ sudo reboot (or shutdown  poweron machine in any other way)
   * $ sudo adduser testing523896
   * PASS
 
   * Also you can touch the locks, check that they are there and run `$
  sudo start passwd` to clear them.
 
  [Regression Potential]
 
   * We are adding an extra job which will always run at boot, which will have 
 a tiny impact  on boot performance
 
   * The new job can be mis-used directly via `$ sudo start passwd`, but root 
 user could clear the locks in the exact same way as well, before introducing 
 this upstart job.

2011-12-29 Thread Mark - Syminet
Hello Clint, going to have to say user error on this one apologies for
the false alarm - someone had a line in a script that was changing stuff
in /etc/udev which bonked things.  Did a fresh Precise reinstall from
the mini.iso and no issues, also a Lucid - Precise upgrade to confirm
and indeed... no issues.  Apologies for the false alarm!

[Bug 765735] Re: mountall should cause fsck to show progress on text console

2011-12-29 Thread Mark - Syminet
Still no progress bar in Precise.  This really is bad, particularly on
server because we get stuck with very long fscks on large disks and the
progress bar is critical during unexpected downtimes.  We need to be
able to provide at least rough ETA's for our bosses/customers, and have
assurance the system isn't hung.

I took a look at mountall.c and the following change restored the bar:

2247c2247
   arg = NIH_MUST (nih_sprintf (NULL, -C%d, fds[1]));
---
   arg = NIH_MUST (nih_sprintf (NULL, -C, fds[1]));

...although I can see how this would obviously not work in the
distribution, is there something we can do to restore the progress bar?
Looking through the code, it shouldn't be hard to implament (e.g. a
setting in /etc/default/rcS).

2011-12-16 Thread Mark - Syminet
I'm getting exactly these symptoms after a test upgrade from vanilla Lucid - 
Precise.  

Upon reboot, the iface is indeed reachable and I can ssh into it within about 
10 seconds but 
on the monitor it says Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network 
configuration... error,
and hangs there for a full minute.  The /etc/network/interfaces contains all 
necessary info, 
worked perfectly fine in Lucid, and the interface is indeed reachable the whole 
time:

[Bug 847782] Re: installer writes a permanent ethernet entry in interfaces file

2011-12-16 Thread Mark - Syminet
We have servers which are all automatically configured by adding simple static 
entries to /etc/network/interfaces.  Upon reboot, it's network reachable within 
about ten seconds while the monitor is hung saying, Waiting 60 more seconds 
for network configuration... - but it is pingable and accepting ssh 
connections with no problems.  

Commenting out the sleep stanzas worked here also, but it would be far
better if the test checked properly and didn't start sleeping when
everything was up.  Either that or maybe something in /etc/default to
tell it not to check period, I will maintain my own interfaces file.
Here's an example interfaces file, I think this is all syntactically
correct?:

root@19r8s12:/etc# cat /etc/network/interfaces

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.181
netmask 255.255.255.0

[Bug 599342] Re: Temporary failure in name resolution

2011-06-20 Thread Mark - Syminet
@Serge correct - for security (and portability) reasons, we've decided
to run ssh only and nothing else on the hosts - all other services run
on guests - so the host is using one of it's own guests as it's DNS
server.  It's backup nameservers are on different hosts which are
usually up, so we never noticed this issue - but this time, they were
not available at the moment we rebooted.  The result was all guests
failed to start.

For now, we've just updated /etc/hosts on each machine to make sure they
automatically resolve themselves even without nameservice - this seems
to be a decent workaround for now.

[Bug 649591] Re: mountall spins eating cpu when 'nobootwait' option exists in fstab followed by a comma

2010-11-04 Thread Mark - Syminet

What Ingo said - for servers, not having a console progress bar is *terrible*, 
since for servers we often aren't physically there.  So even with e.g. remote 
VNC access we get nothing but a blank screen and have no idea if it's actually 
even doing a fsck, or locked up for some other reason.  All of this while 
customers are calling frantically screaming at us because their server is down. 
 

As a stopgap we're now booting them into rescue mode from external media
and running the fscks manually, but all of this causes unnecessary
hassle, stress and increased downtime.  Would be much nicer to have our
progress bar back like we always had before.

[Bug 670541] [NEW] Upgrade mysql5.0 - 5.1 fails due to error on postrm script.

2010-11-03 Thread Mark - Syminet
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mysql-server-5.1


Hardy - Lucid upgrade, after which phpmyadmin warns about mysql-server5.0 
whereas
the php library is 5.1 and thus conflicts.  OK, lets upgrade - but mysql 
upgrade fails due to 
what looks like a typo in the postrm script: 

===
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 40610 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing mysql-server-5.0 ...
 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld
   ...done.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postrm: line 38: syntax error near 
unexpected token `fi'
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--remove):

Errors were encountered while processing:

=== 

For me, the quick fix was to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postrm 
shellscript and simply make this the first line: 

exit 0;

...hopefully this didn't cause some sort of breakage that will bite us at 
some indeterminable point in the future.  But it at least got the critical 
mysql service running again on that server.

[Bug 670526] [NEW] phpmyadmin broken after hardy - lucid upgrade

2010-11-03 Thread Mark - Syminet
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin

Lucid: 4:3.3.2-1

After upgrade hardy - lucid phpmyadmin complains that controluser is
invalid and logins fail.

These commands fixed it:

dpkg --purge phpmyadmin

apt-get install phpmyadmin

However more bugs/errors/warnings after being able to login... will post
those next.

This has happened three times in a row on three different servers.

[Bug 670533] [NEW] Hardy - Lucid upgrade: Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

2010-11-03 Thread Mark - Syminet
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin

Lucid: 4:3.3.2-1
Upgrade Hardy - Lucid.  

Try to restart with fresh install:

dpkg --purge phpmyadmin 
drop phpmyadmin database
apt-get install phpmyadmin 
 
But upon login this message appears at the bottom of the screen in glaring red 
banner which scares users of the server and makes them complain.  

Solution was to get the correct information from /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php 
and then 

mysql -u root

mysql grant all on phpmyadmin.* to 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost' identified by 
'MY_PASSWORD';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql flush permissions;

...error message disappeared.

[Bug 670549] [NEW] The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated. To find out why click here.

2010-11-03 Thread Mark - Syminet
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin


Lucid: 4:3.3.2-1 

Hardy - Lucid upgrade, tried a fresh install with

dpkg --purge phpmyadmin
drop database phpmyadmin
apd-get install phpmyadmin 

But we are still greeted by a scary red warning banner at the bottom of the 
phpmyadmin login page: 

The additional features for working with linked tables have been
deactivated. To find out why click here.

The error message is a link, click it and all is OK except this:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] ... not OK [ Documentation ]
Tracking: Disabled
 
...looking at file /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php: 
 
=== 

/* Optional: Advanced phpMyAdmin features */
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = $dbname; 
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';  
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';   
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';   
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';   
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages'; 
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info'; 
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history'; 
  
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords'; 
  

===

...looking at local phpmyadmin database and see that the table 
pma_tracking does indeed exist.  The following line appears to 
be missing, so we add it: 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma_tracking';

LOG OUT of phpmyadmin to make changes take effect, log back in  
and error message is gone.

[Bug 331944] Re: roundcube-core requires php-mdb2

2010-07-14 Thread Mark - Syminet
What Sam said.  php-mdb2 installed OK but it isn't enough - additional
packages are required depending upon which DB you're using:

php-mdb2 - PHP PEAR module to provide a common API for supported RDBMS
php-mdb2-driver-mysql - PHP PEAR module to provide a MySQL driver for MDB2
php-mdb2-driver-pgsql - PHP PEAR module to provide a PostgreSQL driver for MDB2
php-mdb2-driver-sqlite - PHP PEAR module to provide a SQLite driver for MDB2

Since we're using mysql here, apt-get install php-mdb2-driver-mysql
got it working - but the installer scripts should ask which DB is being
used and include that as a dependency, otherwise the roundcube installs
unusable.

[Bug 331944] Re: roundcube-core requires php-mdb2

2010-07-14 Thread Mark - Syminet
OK, so what's happening is that people are doing apt-get install
roundcube.  When they go through dbconfig-common to configure their
database for mysql, it's implicit that roundcube knows it's supposed to
be using mysql  - but it wants to use sqlite.

Looking closer, it's obvious now but not when installing without knowing
any of this - it would be great if the postinst said You need to
install one of these metapackages now:, or even a simple
/usr/share/doc/roundcube/README.Debian that mentions this would have
saved the day here.  :-)

Anyway problem solved - thanks much for the insight.

[Bug 589307] Re: Wrong compilation of asterisk-mp3

2010-06-08 Thread Mark - Syminet

Same error here, upgrading from karmic - lucid all of our music on hold files 
went silent.  Worked around this here by converting the mp3's to .sln files:  

apt-get remove asterisk-mp3
apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-all mpg321
# convert mp3 to wav
mpg321 -w myfile.mp3 myfile.wav 
# convert wav to sln
sox myfile.wav -t raw -r 8000 -s -c1 myfile.sln 

The -c1 up there is important if your mp3 is stereo.  If you care more
about filesize than sound quality you can convert them to GSM instead:

sox unknown.wav -r 8000 -c1 unknown.gsm

Best

[Bug 523896] Re: useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.

2010-06-02 Thread Mark - Syminet
I had the same situation here, it turns out it was a stuck useradd process - 
destroying it got useradd working again, something like this: 

killall -9 userdel 
rm -f /etc/*lock 

In my case the stuck useradd was caused by a bug in my own script, but 
for the others, if it was caused by the package manager then I guess there 
might be a package out there with a bug in it's call to useradd.

Same here.  Installing dahdi-linux by hand first worked for me:

apt-get install dahdi-linux

...then install asterisk and it was ok so seems to be something in the order in 
which it's installing packages. 

It's a different bug, no time to check but also had the following
happen:

r...@7r6s1:/var/log/asterisk# invoke-rc.d asterisk restart
Stopping Asterisk PBX: asterisk.
Asterisk PBX is already running. Use restart.
r...@7r6s1:/var/log/asterisk# 

...issuing the command again brought it up OK maybe it needs a sleep(1) 
or something.
