[Bug 1732482] Re: [snap] doesn't properly save desktop files for "create shortcuts" action

2019-09-30 Thread Mark Stosberg
Right now ~/snap/chromium/current is a symlink to a specific version of
Chromium. So placing icons and desktop files there will break each time
Chromium is upgraded unless the files are copied from the previous
version-specific directory to the new one.

[Bug 1732482] Re: [snap] doesn't properly save desktop files for "create shortcuts" action

2019-08-20 Thread Mark Stosberg
I did get a ".desktop" file to work by manually copying it from
~/Desktop to ~/.local/share/applications, on Ubuntu 18.04.

I experimented with making the Exec= paths that didn't include a hard-
coded version. I tried "/snap/bin/chromium", "chrome", "chromium" and
"/snap/chromium/821/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome".

Well, "chrome" just doesn't work because it's not a binary in $PATH.
Both "chromium" and "/snap/bin/chromium" will cause new instances of the
web app to launch every time. Only if I use the
"/snap/chromium/821/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome" will the app work
as expected: The first click on the icon in the Gnome dock will launch
it and the second click will switch to it if it's running already.

I'm glad I got something to work today but it seems like a bug that this
feature only works when hard-coded version is included in the path of
.desktop files.

2019-08-20 Thread Mark Stosberg
I want to highlight that @jonny-boy's comment could be considered a
separate-but-related bug. The exec path being written out in these files
is not optimal. Here's one that was just used for me:

 /snap/chromium/821/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome

Surely it would be better to refer to the "current" version of the
package than a fixed version? Wouldn't "/snap/bin/chromium" be ideal
here?

[Bug 1086374] Re: Backup cannot be restored (no signature chains found)

2019-01-19 Thread Mark Stosberg
I got this error when attempting to list files with 0.7.18.2.

The root cause in my case was a bad path in an "sftp://"; URL. It was
important that the absolute path after the host name started with two
slashes, and that the URL point to a folder that contains "duplicity-
full..."files. My correct URL also ended in a slash.

It's a scary error message and it should give you a hint if the folder
is wrong or there's really some other problems. For example, one message
could say "No duplicity files found at the provided URL. Confirm the
path to your backup folder is correct."

The limits are documented in `man journald.conf`.

One of them is " SystemMaxUse=, ", which is based on disk usage, not
file size.

Additional disk writing is somewhat mitigated by the general increase in
disk performance over time in new hardware

As one user found here, SSD is about 5x faster than HDD and the newer NVMe SSDs 
are about
5x faster than the older SSDs. A new NVMe SSD is about 25x faster than an HDD.

https://photographylife.com/nvme-vs-ssd-vs-hdd-performance

The idea here is to be "safe by default". People are welcome to
prioritize performance and reduce logging beyond the defaults.

[Bug 1739294] [NEW] authentication fails in new AWS regions, fixed upstream in 0.33

2017-12-19 Thread Mark Stosberg
Public bug reported:

This package is a dependency of the ec2-consistent-snapshot package, a
popular AWS backup utility.

Net::Amazon::EC2 has two bugs that fixed in their 0.33 release that
affecting downstream packages:

 * The new release uses the AWS Signature Version 4 by default, which is 
required for it to work in newer AWS regions. 
 * The release properly handles valid-but-empty "StateReason" responses from 
AWS. Here's the ec2-consistent-snapshot bug report about that:

https://github.com/alestic/ec2-consistent-snapshot/issues/94

If this package were updated to the 0.33 release, it would be helpful.
I'm using it on both 14.04 and 16.04. Thanks.

2017-02-13 Thread Mark Stosberg
@dino99. Because good defaults matter. Being safe by default is
important. Being secure by default is important.

The "Principle of least surprise" applies here:

"In general engineering design contexts, the principle can be taken to
mean that a component of a system should behave in a manner consistent
with how users of that component are likely to expect it to behave".

One reasonable expects their logs to saved through reboot, as system
logs have worked that way for the last couple of decades.

I didn't think to go create "/var/log/journal" because I trusted Ubuntu
to continue to be "safe by default" has it generally has been for years.

2017-02-13 Thread Mark Stosberg
@dino99 how was "what most users prefer" prefer determined? Was there a
poll?

Systemd already has configuration options to limit the growth the the
journal. As documented in `man journald.conf`, the defaults are already
set to prevent filling up a disk.

If there were a poll, I can certainly imagine people voting for having
valuable logging kept for review. That has been the policy for syslog
for years. I don't see why someone would want to  suddenly start
throwing away valuable logs at reboot just because the logging backend
is now journald instead of syslog.

Thanks for the response, Martin.

Where will the public policy discuss take place?

Perhaps one possibility for a interim solution is for rsyslog to log to
journald by default instead of to disk by default and otherwise
maximally direct services to log into journald instead of rsyslog.

[Bug 1618188] [NEW] systemd journal should be persistent by default: /var/log/journal should be created

2016-08-29 Thread Mark Stosberg
Public bug reported:

After upgrading 14.04 -> 16.04, key services are now running on systemd
and using the systemd journal for logging. In 14.04, key system logs
like /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog were persistent, but after
the upgrade to 16.04 there has a been a regression of sorts: Logs sent
to systemd's journald are now being thrown away during reboots.

This behavior is controlled by the `Storage=` option in
`/etc/systemd/journald.conf`. The default setting is `Storage=auto`
which will persist logs in `/var/log/journal/`, *only if the directory
already exists*. But the directory was not created as part of the 14.04
-> 16.04 upgrade, so logging was being lost for a while before I
realized what was happening.

This issue could be solved by either creating /var/log/journal or
changing the default Storage behavior to `Storage=persistent`, which
would create the directory if need be.

## Related reference

 * `systemd` currently compounds the issue by having ["journal --disk-usage" 
report memory usage as disk 
usage](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4059), giving the impression 
that the disk is being used for logging when it isn't. 
 * [User wonders where to find logs from previous boots, unaware that the logs 
were thrown 
away](http://askubuntu.com/questions/765315/how-to-find-previous-boot-log-after-ubuntu-16-04-restarts)

## Recommended fix

Restoring persistent logging as the default is recommended.

[Bug 1422143] Re: No wifi connection after suspend with systemd due to missing "wpa_cli suspend"

2016-06-01 Thread Mark Stosberg
This fix works for me:

1. As root, create a file named /etc/systemd/system/resume.service  with
the following contents:

[Unit]
Description=Local system resume actions
After=suspend.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target




sudo systemctl enable resume.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Now after a suspend resume, I the Network Manager icon reloads almost
instantly, and wifi comes back.

You can confirm the action ran by checking it's service log after a
resume:

 journalctl -u resume.service


Jun 01 11:29:11 myhost systemd[1]: Starting Local system resume actions...
Jun 01 11:29:12 myhost systemd[1]: Started Local system resume actions.

If you want to trigger other actions to run at "resume" time, you can
add additional "ExecStart=" lines to the file.

[Bug 1273462] Re: Users can mistakenly run init.d scripts and cause problems if an equivalent upstart job already exists

2015-12-03 Thread Mark Stosberg
In Bug #1521771, I spent some time tracking down different behavior
between the mysql-5.5 "init" and "upstart" scripts. They differ on how
many seconds are waited between the SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals are
sent. Different values can mean the difference between a slower clean
shutdown and a shutdown interrupted by a SIGKILL signal.

In the case of that of that package, redirecting the "init.d" calls to
the upstart script will have a positive impact in my opinion-- giving
more time for MySQL to shutdown cleanly.  So the proposed patch will be
functionally helpful.

I do suggest that for any package that's affected by this, the "init.d"
script should be cleaned out, so only the code remains that redirects
people to the upstart script.

There is nothing about this line of code in an "init.d" script which
indicates that that all the code below it is about to ignored:

  . /lib/lsb/init-functions

Nor does the proposed patch emit any output that confirms that redirect
is happened. The result is that someone could pull their hair out
wondering why the "init.d" script is not behaving as expected.

Realize that there are packages like "ec2-consistent-snapshot" which
exist only in a PPA and make a hardcoded call to "/etc/init.d/mysql". It
does that in hopes of working on non-Debian-based systems as well. (The
package is also several years old, from an era when init.d scripts were
more common).   I'm not sure what small projects are supposed to when
they want to issue a command like "stop mysql" in a way that might work
across  SysV init scripts, upstart and systemd.

Thanks for the reply. 

For the mysql-5.6 package, I recommend clearly out the "init.d" script
except for the redirect to the "upstart" script.

This will avoid the false impression that the code in in the "init.d"

Re: [Bug 1521771] [NEW] init.d.mysql shutdown timeout value does not match init/mysql.conf value

2015-12-01 Thread Mark Stosberg
I looked at the mysql-5.6 package in the xenial distribution.

It provides 3 init scripts: one for upstart, one for SysV init, and one
presumably for systemd.  Each provides a different value for the server
to shutdown: 10 seconds, 300 seconds or 600 seconds, depending on which
service you use. 

I did see a better syntax for waiting 30 seconds using Bash, though.

Before:

> for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
>   sleep 1

After:

>   for i in $(seq 1 300); do
>   sleep 1

That's my recommended patch to /etc/init.d/mysql

I also recommend fixing the mysql-server 5.6 package to be consistent
between the 3 init scripts. 

Mark

[Bug 1521771] [NEW] init.d.mysql shutdown timeout value does not match init/mysql.conf value

2015-12-01 Thread Mark Stosberg
Public bug reported:

In `/etc/init/mysql.conf`, the configuration is set to wait 5 minutes
after a SIGTERM is issued before a SIGKILL is issued. The value was
intentionally set that high because sometimes the default of 5 seconds
wasn't long enough [1].

 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/620441

The code used for this in the upstart script is:

   kill timeout 300

However the parallel change was not made to /etc/init.d/mysql  
It has the same logic, but waits only 10 seconds, like this:

```
killall -15 mysqld
server_down=
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
  sleep 1
  if mysqld_status check_dead nowarn; then server_down=1; break; fi
done
  if test -z "$server_down"; then killall -9 mysqld; fi
```

I would consider submitting a patch to change the timeout from 10
seconds to 300 in this script, but I can't believe spelling out the
numbers from 1 to 300 is the best way to do that, as the current code
counts to 10 like this.

I know that using upstart and the "service" command are the preferred
way to manage MySQL, but as long as the init.d script continues to be
shipped it should parallel the upstart script when possible.

This change matters to projects like ec2-consistent-shutdown, which
tries to shutdown MySQL cleanly across a number of linux variations. It
currently does that with a hardcoded reference to /etc/init.d/mysql,
which apparenty works, while I don't think the upstart syntax would be
as portable.  [2]

This remains a potential security issue with Ubuntu 14.04.

It appears that the util-linux (2.25-5) should set the login shell as
"nologin". It seems here we need an update which finds the shells
already set as /bin/sh and resets them to "nlogin"

[Bug 1233794] Re: [LENOVO ThinkPad X220] suspend/resume failure

2013-12-10 Thread Mark Stosberg
Here's my latest test result, using:
   -  X220 i7
   - Samsung 840 Pro SSD
   - BIOS 1.39
  - Ubuntu 12.04.3
  - Kernel 3.8.0-33

Using "sudo pm-suspend", the first cycle completes normally.
On the second cycle, I see an "Unable to dock!" message as it's suspending. It 
resumes to show  a black screen with the "Unable to dock" message on it. 

I use can "Alt-F1" to see a screen with a login prompt, but I can't
login.

After a hard-power-off and restarting, I check /var/log/pm-suspend.log
and find that the last suspend is logged, but there is no detail at all
about resume.

The only indication of a problem I see in /var/log/pm-suspend.log is 
"Having NetworkManager put all interfaces to sleep...Failed",
but that happens on the first, successful suspend cycle as well. 

>From having looked at other variations of this issue as I've tried to
work through it, I think what's happening is that the OS is running
after resume, but I/O to the hard drive has failed. That explains why
the "resume" portion of the logging is completely missing, and why I can
get as far as the login screen, but login (presumably it's started to
load something from the drive at that point, and is failing).

In the BIOS, I tried changing the SATA connection from "AHCI" to Legacy,
but it doesn't help. (Above it's in Legacy mode still, I think).  I also
tried an Intel 520 Cherryville SSD with similar results.

Using a mechanical Hitachi drive, I was able to 10 successful
suspend/resume cycles in a row, but I want this to work with one of
these two SSDs.

As noted above, I also tried 14.04 on this laptop, and had problems with
suspend as well. My last notes on that contain a different failure mode,
though:

" Suspended via Fn-F4, Screen came back, but was very dim, and mouse was
frozen."

I'm willing to try either 12.04 or 14.04, if you have suggestions of
things to try.

12.04 is currently on the SSD, while 14.04 is on a Live USB drive.

I'm also experiencing intermittent failures after suspend/resume with

I appear to have better luck with a HDD than an SDD in it, but that may

[Bug 508768] Re: pure-ftpd with postgresql support in karmic and Lucid crashes frequently during authentication

2012-06-21 Thread Mark Stosberg
I want share how I was able to address the crashes on Lucid. In summary,
I rebuild the source  packages from Precise and installed them, and that
fixed it.  I suspect the fix might have come in 1.0.28 or 1.0.29, as
they included these fixes in the changelog:

" Fix crash with PostgreSQL" and "Fixes segfaults on glibc".

This was my process:

- Add a 'precise/universe' 'deb-src' line to /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update
cd ~/tmp
apt-get source pure-ftpd-postgresql 
- remove line above from /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update
cd pure-ftpd-1.0.35
apt-get build-dep pure-ftpd-postgresql
debuild -us -uc
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i pure-ftpd-postgresql_1.0.35-1_amd64.deb 
pure-ftpd-common_1.0.35-1_all.deb 

If anything is found to be wrong with the new packages, an
uninstall/install cycle would return the machine to using the "Lucid"
packages.

Stefan Hornburg, you appear to be the package maintainer and also
subscribed to this bug. Would it be possible to create a new release for
Lucid that includes this crash-fix?

[Bug 881754] [NEW] sync feature fails to notify already logged-in users that is that is uploading package data

2011-10-25 Thread Mark Stosberg
Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and just found the "sync" feature in USC today
and clicked on it-- neat idea!

I was curious about how it worked, so I searched and found the spec and
read about it. By the time I read the part that it uploaded my data to
another server, it was already too late-- my data had already started to
be sent without my consent.

I had submitted some reviews earlier in the day, so apparently I was
already signed in, so I received zero notifications before or after the
upload that data was being sent off site.  I consider this a privacy
issue, and something that users should be notified about. It's possible
that people have installed custom packages that could reveal things
about their computer use that they would rather not. Or, it may simply
reveal that they have specific, exploitable versions of software
installed.

The "Sync" name is not enough to convey this. I assumed that the feature
either worked via the "sneaker net", or would connect directly to
computers on the local network without storing data at a third party.

[Bug 673834] [NEW] -compose is not documented in "man thunderbird"

2010-11-10 Thread Mark Stosberg
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

"man thunderbird" fails to document the -compose option. This option is
very useful if you are on the command line and want to launch a new
email message composition window with a given file attached.

The "man" page is a natural place to document command line options,
since it's a kind of help that is commonly accessed from the command
line.

For documentation on -compose and more undocumented options see here:

2009-12-06 Thread Mark Stosberg
I ran into into the "can't be handled by gstreamer" message when adding
MP3s on Intrepid.

The solution had nothing to do with the codec, the issue seemed to be
that the MP3s were located on a Samba network share, not locally. The
workaround was to copy the files to my local hard drive and try again.

If the issue still persists in the current version of Ubuntu, it would
be great to improve the error message in my case, so it's clear that
Brasero is not able to handle  files located on network shares.

If your vpn host you are connecting to is "vpn.youcompany.com" and then
you need to access this host directly and review the logs. Of course,
there is a catch if the connection is failing. You either need to
contact someone at work do this for you, or you need to wait until you
are at work to do this yourself. In some cases you won't have access to
this machine, and will have to ask you local system administrator to
help with the issue.

[Bug 335237] Re: VPN to windows fails

2009-10-29 Thread Mark Stosberg
There are any number of reasons why a VPN connection should fail, and
not all of them are bugs in network-manager-pptp. If your VPN connection
is failing you should work with your system administrator to also review
the logs generated on the server side to get a full picture of what's
happening.

You might also try upgrading to Karmic Koala if you haven't already.

I'm converting this to a question now, but we can convert it back to a
bug report if there's something specific going wrong that seems like a
bug in network-manager-pptp.

2009-10-29 Thread Mark Stosberg
I'm converting this bug into a question because using ssh over the pptp
connection has always worked fine for me. I suspect there is something
specific about your environment that needs to deal with.

For hosts that you can't ssh to, what happens when you a simpler network 
connection, like pinging the host or using traceroute?
Both of these are options with the graphical network tool built into Ubuntu. 

Also, Karmic Koala is out today, you could always try upgrading to it.

[Bug 430361] Re: thinkpad_acpi: WARNING: sysfs attribute hotkey_enable is deprecated and will be removed. Hotkey reporting is always enabled

2009-10-29 Thread Mark Stosberg
Here's a workaround to make alerts stop. (It does not stop related event
from happening, it just stops you from being notified about it. )

Open this file for editing:

sudo gedit /etc/kerneloops.conf

You can comment it out as follows. This will prevent you being alerted
to *any* kernel oops event:

# allow-submit = ask

Another alternative seems to be to leave the line active, but change the
value from "ask" to "yes". I presume that in this case it is e-mailing
all the kernel "oops" reports back to the kerneloops website, but
without alerting you about them. I confirmed that it also stops the
alerts, but I can't confirm if it still sends the emails.

Either way, you'll have to restart the "kerneloops" service after you
make the change. (Rebooting would do the trick, too)

sudo /etc/init.d/kerneloops restart

restart.

That problem could affect any number of cases like this one.

[Bug 346303] Re: Kernel oops dialog is inconsistent with kerneloops semantics

2009-10-29 Thread Mark Stosberg
I disagree about the "Low Importance" of this.

For many ThinkPad users like myself our first impression of Karmic is a
pop-up stating your kernel has encountered a "serious error" and that
the system may be unstable and may need to be shutdown. This is due an
otherwise harmless warning from the ibm-acpi driver, which triggers this
scary message on a daily message for us.

To me it seems very important that warnings should be handled
differently. Warnings may be just that-- a warning. It is in appropriate
to treat them the as "serious error" that "may require a restart".

Here's a related bug about the issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/430361

You can see that there were were about 20 duplicate bug reports filed
about this even before Karmic was officially released.

[Bug 430361] Re: thinkpad_acpi: WARNING: sysfs attribute hotkey_enable is deprecated and will be removed. Hotkey reporting is always enabled

2009-10-28 Thread Mark Stosberg
I think this page speaks to the issue:

http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-acpi-
de...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01713.html

It seems that enabling and disabling the "hotkey" functionality is no
longer supported, and the functionality is always on. The new behavior
is to log a warning if this attempted, I suppose so that other software
authors might notice this and change their code. From the end user's
perspective there doesn't appear to be a real problem, except that we
regularly get scary messages telling us that there's a serious kernel
problem.

I see a few different ways to address this:

1. The kernel developers could downgrade the kind of warning emitted so that it 
is still logged, but does not trigger this tool. 
2. All the software in Ubuntu that still enables or disables "hotkeys" could be 
hunted down and changed to quit doing this. 
3. The tool that monitors kernel errors could be adjusted so that it quits 
flagging this as a critical issue. 

Option 2 does not seem practical as a fix before Karmic is released, but
"1" or "3" might be able to be accomplished soon. I'll bring this bug
report to the attention of the kernel developers who made the patch
which triggered the issue.

I don't have any T2x now, but I formally used or help people use the T20, T21,
T22 and T23 with Ubuntu. I sold my last T23 just a couple of weeks ago, and was
running Hardy on it at the time.

I believe I got sound-after-suspend to work on all of them, with the T23 
seeming to have
less problems.

What I know I documented on the "Installing Ubuntu..." pages for each model on
http://www.thinkwiki.org/

I recommend looking through the pages for all of the model numbers there, as
many tips apply to all the models, but may not be mentioned on every page.
Again, as I recall, the T20,21 and T22 seem to have a lot in common, with the
T23 being a little different.

How did you suspend?

Option 1: Through the graphical "Suspend" button on the logout menu
Option 2: Fn-F4 ? 

When I have gotten this to work on these kinds of laptops, it has always been
with Fn-F4.

For me, something must have changed in the hardy-proposed kernel line.
Recently mass storage mode started working for me perfectly with a ZN5.
Certainly the Intrepid and Z6 cases may be different.

2009-02-09 Thread Mark Stosberg
I confirmed tonight that sound-after-suspend fails when using Intrepid (
2.6.27-7 ) on a ThinkPad T22.

I also confirmed Axel's workaround published above:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-
modules-2.6.24/+bug/198218/comments/35

I did have to modify the posted file to uncomment the "force-reload"
line, which as other mentions will kill all applications that are using
sound. Still, I find that better than not having sound work at all after
a suspend/resume cycle.

[Bug 33617] Re: [agp] X.org does not initialize screen on IBM T20, T21, T22

2009-02-09 Thread Mark Stosberg
I just confirmed that this bug is present the default Intrepid. Here's a
recipe to workaround it, as tested with a T22:

1. Install from the Alternate install CD (which avoids graphics issues)
2. On first boot, press "escape" as you briefly pass through the GRUB 
bootloader stage, and select "Recovery Mode". From there, select the "root 
shell" option. 
3. Fix the xorg.conf file:

 # sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 scroll down to the "Device" section and add this line:
   Option "BusType" "PCI"

Control-X to save the file, and then type "exit" at the shell prompt to
return the recovery console menu. You should be able now select "resume"
and have the issue solved for good. (as long as the xorg.conf file isn't
changed)
