[Bug 78673] Re: edgy->feisty dist-upgrade only works if ~/.gnupg file is there

2007-04-21 Thread Peter Cordes
BTW, I found that existance of ~/.gnupg isn't enough.  I uncommented
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve
and then ran gpg --verify /tmp/blah/blah.gpg
so by the time I tried update-manager again, my keyring already included the 
key.

 This was on an edgy laptop that hadn't been updated for a few weeks.
Presumably the latest update-manager would have worked.

 Yes, Xen itself worked.  I was able to create a couple paravirtualized
domains.

 I'm not using Xen now, though, because I couldn't get it to give a PCI
video card to a hardware-virtualized domain.  (I wanted to build a
multi-seat system, with Windows seeing a real PCI vid card.)  I got the
impression there's no MMU code for doing that yet.

 I haven't tried Xen at all since upgrading to Feisty.

 It compiles ok on feisty now, and runs fine.  I can't install the binary

 Ok, now is a good time to possibly lockup X, since I just had to reboot
anyway.

 I'm now running feisty, with feisty's kernel and X drivers (except mesa
6.5.3 from git, and kernel-side drm from git, but they shouldn't matter
here).  Feisty uses the "intel", not "i810" driver, and I've updated my
xorg.conf to use it.

 The intel driver doesn't do DGA.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dga 
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DGA" missing on display ":0.0".

 This is even without 
   SubSection "extmod"
   Option "omit xfree86-dga"
   EndSubSection

 So dga still doesn't work, but it isn't a land-mine anymore.

 Silly me, I ended up with extmod commented out, so that's why DGA was
disabled.

 With extmod, I get the same pagetable corruption as before.

[Bug 64863] Re: It would be nice if k3b could automatically fetch mp3 decoder (package libk3b2-mp3)

2007-05-29 Thread Peter Cordes
Wait, why can't k3b just recommend libk3b2-mp3.  Is it because the library is 
in universe while k3b is in main?  It does already suggest it.
And how is it better for k3b to pull it in when you want to run it instead of 
when you're installing it?

 I guess that lets it pull it in if you enable a universe repository
after installing k3b.

 Ok, now that sounds like it might be bad hardware.  Try rebooting to
memtest86+, and letting it run overnight.  If it finds any memory
errors, try relaxing your memory timings a little.  If the problem only
happens when there's disk access, that won't help, though.

 However, k3b locks my whole machine hard (ALT+SYSRQ+B does nothing, I
can't ping it, let alone ssh in) when I insert a blank DVD+R.  But not
otherwise; I can burn CDs, and I can start k3b with the disk in the
drive.  I'll report it as a separate bug.

[Bug 104673] drm lockups on g965 hardware

2007-04-08 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

 All Feisty needs to support 3D on Intel g965 hardware without frequent
crashes or lockups is to use a newer version of the kernel drm drivers.
It has i915 drm 1.6.0, but libdrm from git is currently at 1.9.0.

 Running feisty's AMD64 2.6.20-14-generic, and with X started in an AMD64 
feisty chroot, some openGL programs can trigger a bug, and get a message like:
Apr  8 03:34:25 tesla kernel: [133430.971457] [drm:i915_wait_irq] *ERROR* 
i915_wait_irq: EBUSY -- rec: 16309404 emitted: 16312306

 And the X server exits, leaving the image on screen unchanged.  re-
starting X fails, because the hardware is confused.  (A reboot, or at
least a suspend/resume to re-POST the video is needed.)

 How frequently this happens depends on the program.  Some games seem to
trigger this within 15 minutes to an hour.  Others not at all.  I think
it depends on what graphics effects are enabled, too.  Anyway, currently
feisty on g965 hardware will, I think, give the average gamer crashes on
the order of once in an hour of gameplay.

 Using kernel-side drm modules compiled from the latest git makes
Feisty's mesa work great.  (i915 version 1.9.0).   I played nexuiz for >
8 hours on it :)  With Feisty's kernel drm modules, nexuiz sometimes
made the video lock up, as above.  So as I said, kernel drm modules are
the only thing holding Feisty back from working fairly solidly out of
the box on g965 hardware.  (2D support is ok already).

 It might not be necessary to go all the way to 1.9.0.  I've been
compiling the latest drm and mesa on edgy for months now, with quite
good results.

The bug is still present in feisty, as of libgl1-mesa-dri

[Bug 251002] [NEW] man page wrong about default text encoding for pdftotext

2008-07-22 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

The man page for pdftotext(1) says -enc defaults to Latin1, but my
testing shows that I get identical output with no -enc and with -enc
UTF-8.  -enc Latin 1 gives different output.  I'm using a French PDF,
and viewing the text with less(1).  In an LANG=en_CA xterm,  the -enc
Latin1 text looks right.  In a LANG=en_CA.utf8 gnome-terminal, the
default/-enc UTF-8 output looks right.  When it's mismatched, you see an
inverse-video question-mark sort of glyph, or less's highlighting of
control characters, depending on what locale less is using.

xpdfrc(5) says the default for textEncoding is Latin1.  pdftotext(1)
says this config option corresponds to -enc.

 Anyway, UTF-8 output seems to work properly, it's just the
documentation that says it's not the default.

[Bug 219391] [NEW] xv doesn't work on ATI ES1000

2008-04-18 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I'm testing the Hardy beta desktop i386 live cd (from a USB stick wth
isotostick.sh) on a Dell Poweredge 1950: dual Harpertown CPUs, Intel
5000X chipset, ATI ES1000 graphics.  Everything works fine so far,
except Xv.  totem just shows a black rectangle instead of the video
(playing the Experience Ubuntu.ogg video.)

 This looks exactly like Debian bug #413694. http://bugs.debian.org/413694   
The command
gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! xvimagesink
gives me a black window.  It doesn't say anything about not being able to get 
an XV port, so this isn't like another bug report on launchpad.

 I tried xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0   and -v 1, but that made no difference.
(setting to 1 resulted in a setting of -1, FWIW).  At least one other
ES1000 bugs report I saw turned out to revolve around the fact that it
has only one CRTC.

 My Xorg.0.log is attached below.  The monitor EDID "AVO" is a Dell
2161DS KVM[-over-IP] switch made by Avocent.  I'm physically sitting at
the console, with the VGA signal going through the KVM to an LCD.
There's no -over-IP happening here.  I even tried connecting the LCD
directly to a VGA port, and it looks the same.  (I didn't restart X to
get a different EDID though.)

 I already have Debian installed on this machine (where I use nvidia's
binary-only stuff), but I could find a spare partition to do an Ubuntu
install if you think this really was already fixed for my hardware.  I'd
rather not, because Ubuntu's kernels don't include the badram patch, and
one of the memory sticks in this machine has a couple bad bytes.  So I'd
have to take out the flaky memory stick until I had a badram kernel
ready to boot the Ubuntu system to avoid the risk of disk corruption.
(not an issue running from the livecd.)

 Thanks

[Bug 253194] [NEW] audio encoding inefficient

2008-07-30 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ogmrip

ogmrip encodes audio by running 
mplayer -ao pcm:file=named.pipe
faac named-pipe...

While this is happening, top shows faac using 33% CPU, fluxbox using 20%
CPU, and Xorg using ~15% CPU.  (This is on a Core 2 Duo E6600, so
there's 200% total available.)  Switching to another virtual desktop
reduces the CPU usage of fluxbox and Xorg to ~0, but faac still only
gets ~33%.

 I've found when writing my own encoding scripts that for video data,
putting a buffer in the pipe is necessary to keep the reader working at
full CPU usage.  Maybe the same thing is going on here for audio data.

I use  bfr -b 11m pipe.y4m | x264 ... stdin.y4m
bfr is like cat, but uses a buffer of 11MB in this case.

 I'm assuming that faac is starved for data.  Maybe mplayer is being
slowed down by the same sillyness that results in so much CPU usage for
the window manager and X server when the progress dialog is visible.

[Bug 75174] Re: runaway kacpi_notify

2008-08-15 Thread Peter Cordes
This bug happened for me on an Acer desktop machine: Veriton 7200 (mobo
S81M, even after upgrading to latest bios revision: R01-F3).

The machine has Debian on its hard drive, and Debian's 2.6.18-6-686 doesn't 
have the problem.
Debian's 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 _does_ have the problem.  It's very repeatable 
by running burnP6 or burnK7.  yacpi hangs until burnK7 is stopped and the temp 
comes down, while kacpi_notify uses lots of CPU...
Debian's 2.6.25 backport (linux-image-2.6.25-2-68 2.6.25-6~bpo40+1) doesn't 
have the problem, so that's what I'm going to run here.

Intrepid's i386 Desktop alpha 4 (kernel 2.6.26-5.15-generic) doesn't have the 
problem.
I don't think I've tried Hardy.  (The machine's CDROM drive door is stuck 
closed, and it doesn't boot from its USB1.1 ports.  I booted intrepid by 
copying vmlinuz and initrd.gz to the HD, and loading them with GRUB, with 
iso-scan/filename=...  Whoever though of and implemented iso-scan/filename=, 
nice job!)

 So this is a good sign that this bug is in fact going away in newer
kernels.  If I had found the problem with Intrepid's kernel, I would
have followed up on bugzilla.kernel.org.

[Bug 158976] Re: Casper doesn't wait for USB hard disks to come up

2008-08-15 Thread Peter Cordes
This is a problem for iso-scan/filename=, too.  It gets the list of
block devs on the system at the start, and goes through that list, then
drops you to a shell.  On a fast machine, the boot scripts get to
/scripts/casper/20iso-scan before USB devices have shown up.  Even the
internal hard drive maybe hadn't read its partition table yet.  (dual
quad-core Harpertown server. :)

 I worked around it by adding  break=mount  to the kernel command line.
Then I wait for my USB stick to be detected before pressing ^D at the
(initramfs) shell prompt to continue the boot.  break=premount is no
good, because USB keyboard drivers haven't been loaded yet, AFAICT!

I tried this with Intrepid alpha 4, AMD64 and i386.

[Bug 258469] [NEW] need to blacklist software direct rendering, e.g. ATI ES1000

2008-08-15 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

The ES1000 chipset doesn't support 3D at all.  It's found on server
mobos, for example.  It's not too slow with gnome and firefox, although
it (currently?) doesn't support RENDER acceleration.

 Anyway, Intrepid Alpha 4 (desktop amd64 and i386) boots up to a light gray 
screen with only a mouse cursor visible.  This only happens after the "ubuntu" 
user logs in: the gdm screen is fine.  I was able to switch to a text console 
and killall compiz.real, and then I could see the gnome desktop.  There didn't 
seem to be a window manager, but I was able to rectify that by going into 
properties->appearance and turning compiz on (graying out the screen), then I 
think blindly clicking effects back to none.  I did switch to tty1 and kill 
compiz.real again, though.  So maybe it was just not killing compiz that was 
the trick.  Anyway, ATI ES1000 needs to be blacklisted for compiz.

 Probably you should blacklist anything where glxinfo shows:

 Xorg apparently sets up a software direct renderer or something, so
looking for direct rendering: Yes no longer tells you whether you have
hardware 3D.

[Bug 215497] [NEW] "disable networking" leaves ipv6 enabled

2008-04-10 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

In Ubuntu Hardy (i386), using the Network Manager applet's "Disable
Networking" button only disables IPv4.  I was still able to ping6
another machine using a v6 address received from radvd.  Similarly,
other machines could make v6 UDP and TCP connections to the local
machine when the user thought networking was disabled (although I didn't
test that).

 I was tempted to mark this a security bug, but I didn't because the
security breach is only based on an expectation of what unticking
"Enable Networking" should do.  Some users might well use that do
disable networking while they configure a firewall or something, though.
Also, disabling networking to prevent local programs accessing the
network only works for IPv4 because of this.  So there are obvious
security implications, but I'm not sure if it's the sort of thing to bug
the Security team about.

 My expectation for the behaviour of the tickbox that says "Enable
Networking" was that unticking it would bring all the network interfaces
down (except loopback), so ifconfig wouldn't show them without -a.  Same
as ifdown eth0; ...  would if the interfaces were configured in
/etc/network/interfaces.  I've seen a comment that maybe N-M keeps the
ifaces UP and RUNNING so it can check for link activity.  It doesn't
make sense to do that if all networking is supposed to be disabled
anyway.

 I see this behaviour on the the i386 Hardy Beta livecd, and with up-to-
date Hardy installed on a Toshiba A70 laptop (rtl8139, madwifi).  I
doubt it's hardware-specific, though.  I'll provide more info if this
isn't easily reproducible for everyone.

[Bug 215497] Re: "disable networking" leaves ipv6 enabled

2008-04-11 Thread Peter Cordes
To clarify, it doesn't "leave" ipv6 enabled, because the interface does
have to get it's autoconfigured addresses again.  Even if it doesn't see
a router advertisement, it will still get a link-local address.

 sshd and exim4 both default to listening on a v6 socket, so they could
be connected to.  So the threat isn't purely theoretical.

[Bug 176003] Re: defaults to deactivating NICs that don't support carrier detection

2008-04-02 Thread Peter Cordes
 I tried on the same old machine.  This time the NIC in it is an old
tulip (21140-based Cogent EM-110 or 100), which doesn't support carrier
detection either.  I used the Hardy i386 beta livecd (nice Heron
wallpaper, BTW):

 Everything is the same as before.  The daemon.log messages from
NetworkManager are the same as I copied/pasted in the initial bug
report.  eth0 is detected, but n-m decided not to run DHCP on it until
instructed.

 It turns out that the network connectivity applet has a left-click menu
which (in this case) has a radio button for "Wired Network", and a
"manual configuration" option.  Selecting "wired network" gives
connectivity (since the machine is on an ethernet segment with a DHCP
server).  So it's really trivial to tell n-m to use the interface _if
you know how_.


 Left clicking on something to bring up a different menu wasn't obvious to me, 
but what do I know; I usually use fluxbox and mostly run stuff from bash in a 
gnome-terminal.   I probably only right-clicked it before, which just gives an 
"Enable Networking" on/off, which is already enabled.  I would still suggest 
that at least for the live CD, defaulting to trying to activate the connection 
would be a good thing.

  I'd rate this as a wishlist bug.  AFAIK, only really old NICs don't
support carrier detection.  This tulip NIC was old 8 years ago.  People
with old hardware usually have some computer experience, at least in
this part of the world (Canada).

 Thanks,

[Bug 213040] [NEW] update-manager: spelling errors in hardy.tar.gz

2008-04-06 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

I spell-checked the files in hardy.tar.gz that update-manager downloads when 
upgrading from gutsy to hardy.
(I was originally looking at it to see if I was missing anything by just using 
aptitude, so I could remove instead of upgrade some packages, and choose 
different ways of resolving conflicts.)

 Anyway, I noticed enough typos that I thought it would benefit from
spell checking by a native English speaker.  I used emacs's ispell mode,
which works pretty well for doing a batch of files, since you can just
let it add all the python variable and function names to the local
temporary local dictionary.  That highlighted cases where a
function/variable name was typoed in a comment, or even in code in one
case.

 I fixed many typos, and some grammar and awkward language, in error and
dialogue strings.  I fixed on typo in an environment variable name, and
another in a variable name that was mis-typed in an error-handling
block.  There were many spelling errors in the code comments, which I
fixed, but I didn't try to re-word many of the comments, since they're
not user-visible.

  I haven't tried to verify that the code still works, since I'm done
upgrading to Hardy beta (using aptitude, which worked nicely).  I do
know a little Python, and most of the changes are in comments and
logging strings, not in anything that other code looks at.

 Anyway, I hope this helps.

[Bug 125687] Re: Samba does not start on boot.

2008-03-10 Thread Peter Cordes
> Upstream has made some adjustments to nmbd in samba 3.0.28a so that it
will wait when the interfaces have gone away, but I don't know if this
affects the behavior on startup.

 This doesn't solve the problem for the ntpdate init script, for
example.  There's a general problem that numbering scripts with numbers
higher than rcS.d/S40networking doesn't mean that dhcp will have an IP
by the time they run.

 That's why I wrote that little init script that waits until it can ping
something before it returns, so the firestarter and ntp init scripts
could work properly.  If this problem goes away for samba because of
something samba-specific way, this bug should be duplicated or a new one
reported.

 So some people think casper's workaround should still be enough, and I
agree it looks like bug 256054.  Maybe removing the auto eth0, and just
keeping iface eth0 would do the trick?  No idea.


Ansgar, casper doesn't parse any ip= options.  boot=nfs does, but not 
boot=casper.

 How would ip=up work?  You want Linux to get the DHCP lease from the
pxelinux that booted it?  I don't think there's any mechanism for that,
other than encoding the ip, netmask, gateway, and dns into kernel
command line options for either Linux itself or the initramfs to parse.
If you want Linux to parse it, probably your ethernet drivers need to be
compiled into the kernel.  The trend is always to move things out of the
kernel and into user-space, so parsing complex kernel params is probably
not going to get added, and if it already exists it will probably get
removed sometime!

[Bug 155655] Re: gnome-terminal does not honor display setting when using xephyr-xserver

2008-10-02 Thread Peter Cordes
I tried to reproduce this, but it works for me on a pre-Intrepid system.  I'm 
going to mark this fix-released, rather than invalid, on the assumption that 
there was something going on.  If anyone can reproduce this, or knows exactly 
what the submitter meant by
"only the first gnome-terminal honors the display setting"
 they should re-open this bug.

 It sounds like Heikki is saying that one of the gnome-terminals opens
outside Xephyr, even though DISPLAY=:1.  That sounds very unlikely,
unless gnome-terminal talks to an already-running gnome-terminal that it
found with something other than X, and asked it to open a new window.

 I tested on a dual-core system with hot caches, and gnome-terminal running 
outside Xephyr, so there was plenty of chance for any race conditions to 
happen.  Both gnome-terminals appear at opposite corners of the Xephyr window.  
The combined stdout/stderr of it all is:
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from

horsepower to play with no skips), and dragged the window over to the CRT.  
During the dragging back and forth, and resizing, X dies, but gdm is able to 
restart it cleanly.

 X crashed even more easily with Xv in the previous Intrepid version of
-video-radeon, so this isn't a recent regression.  If anything, it's an
improvement. :)

 BTW, compiz is totally b0rked on multihead on this GPU.  I'll report
that separately if/when I get around to it, if it hasn't been already.

[Bug 278954] [NEW] read-only bind mounts cause spurious EROFS

2008-10-06 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

I installed the Intrepid kernel (linux-image-2.6.27-5-server on an
otherwise-Hardy x86-64 server (I do have Intrepid's initramfs-tools, and
a non-current-Intrepid module-init-tools).

/dev being read-only bind mounted on /dev/.static/dev somehow causes
Linux to return EROFS for only some operations on the root filesystem.
(My root filesystem is XFS.  Yes, this works, you just can't setup grub
on it from linux, so I boot grub from USB or PXE after the initial
install of Ubuntu.)

I don't have this problem on my pre-Intrepid desktop at home running
2.6.27-4-generic, with a JFS root filesystem (and /dev read-only bind
mounted).  And I didn't notice it on my pre-Intrepid laptop with
2.6.27-5-generic (IIRC), with an ext3 rootfs.  It's not on, so I can't
check it's status right now.  So either a server kernel bug, or an XFS
bug, I'd guess.

symptoms:
# strace touch /etc/bar  # /etc/bar doesn't exist beforehand
close(0)= 0
open("/etc/bar", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 0

0x2) = -1 (errno 30)
utimes("/etc/bar", NULL)= -1 EROFS (Read-only file system)
close(0)= 0
touch: setting times of `/etc/bar': Read-only file system
exit_group(1)   = ?

/etc/bar now exists.


# strace chmod 644 /etc/mtab
stat("/etc/mtab", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=794, ...}) = 0
fchmodat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/mtab", 0644)   = -1 EROFS (Read-only file system)

/proc/mounts showed that / was mounted rw, but /dev/.static/dev was mounted ro.
mount /dev /dev/.static/dev -o remount,rw  makes metadata ops work again on the 
root filesystem.

/proc/mounts (after remount)
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/dc2372d6-5ae9-4b28-8fe5-108c779e82fb / xfs

UUID=dc2372d6-5ae9-4b28-8fe5-108c779e82fb   /   xfs

It's a 10GB filesystem, so I probably don't need inode64...

Let me know if you have any problem reproducing this, and I can get more
details on my server.

[Bug 282425] [NEW] openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us provides en_GB, but not en_CA or anything else

2008-10-12 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

 oowriter's thesaurus feature doesn't work well for me.  I have to mess
with document languages to get it to open.  Being in Canada, I run
Ubuntu (pre-Intrepid, AMD64) with LANG=en_CA.utf8.

 I have openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us and ...-en-au installed.  (but
not language-support-writing-en, or the en-au and en-za myspell dicts it
wants to pull in.  I'd rather play with aptitude than have lots of pkgs
I don't need, esp. when I'm tracking Intrepid's relatively frequent
package updates...)

 Anyway, oowriter won't open the thesaurus (grayed-out thesaurus item
under tools->language) unless I use tools->language->for... to change
the doc language to en_US (or en_GB).  For one thing, it would be nice
if it offered to let you use a thesaurus for another variant of English.
Better would be if the en-us thesaurus just claimed to apply to all the
other variants of English, since it already lists itself as en_US and
en_GB.  If a thesaurus can be useful for both en_US and en_GB, it is
certainly useful for en_CA, since our spellings are usually the GB
spellings, but our word usage is usually closer to US.  (e.g. we write
neighbour (with the "our" ending), but we put gas in our trucks more
often than petrol in our lorries.)

 So please add some lines to /usr/share/myspell/infos/ooo/openoffice
.org-thesaurus-en-us, to make it apply to all the en variants that
aren't covered by the ...-en-au package (which is in fact only en_AU).
Or perhaps to the en_AU thesaurus, since it says it just has the US
spellings removed, should be the thesaurus for en_CA, en_ZA,
en_whatever, as well as en_AU, unless it's full of "blimey", "crikey",
and "throw another shrimp on the barbie". :)

 The package description for openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us should also
say what en variants it provides dictionaries for, since en-us isn't an
obvious name to find an en_GB thesaurus under, esp. when OO won't just
use them as a general English thesaurus.

I was going to reply on the forum thread I originally started, but it's locked 
now.  sigh.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625076

 Anyway, the solution to my problem was an updated firmware for my WD5000YS 
hard drive.
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1493&p_created=1168299631&p_sid=mN5O5Wsi&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NDkmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPXNlYXJjaF9mbmwmcF9wYWdlPTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1yYWlk&p_li=&p_topview=1

[...]
Cause:
WD hard drives have an internal routine that is periodically executed as part 
of the internal “Data Lifeguard” process that enhances the operational life 
expectancy. While the drive is running this routine, if the drive encounters an 
error, the drive’s internal host/device timer for this routine is NOT cancelled 
causing the drive to be locked in this routine, never becoming accessible to 
the host computer/controller. This condition can only be reset by a Power 
Cycle. [...]

 sounds exactly like what I was seeing.  I upgraded my firmware several
months ago, and I haven't seen the problem since.

[Bug 262550] Re: WARNING: Intrepid might burn down MacBook Pro

2008-09-19 Thread Peter Cordes
Is something using a lot of CPU time?  run top, and look at the load
averages at the top right. (number of tasks waiting running/waiting to
run averaged over the last 5/10/15 minutes).

 If it's not close to zero, something's keeping your CPU busy.

 Is your CPU idling at low speed, like it should be?
run cpufreq-info, or if it's not installed, look at /proc/cpuinfo (the clock 
speed there is updated by the kernel's cpufreq framework).  And cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor (ondemand is good, 
userspace is ok too if there is a userspace daemon checking the load and 
deciding what speed to set the CPU to.)

 Core 2 CPUs have a built-in temp sensor that reports a relative temp, relative 
to the max temp.
e.g. on my desktop
$ sensors
coretemp-isa-
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:  +59.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)  

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:  +58.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)  

(sensors is in lm-sensors, and you have to configure it.  You can just modprobe 
coretemp, and do
grep . -n /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_*
(I use grep here as an easy way to combine file names with file contents). I 
get:
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_crit:1:10
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_crit_alarm:1:0
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_input:1:59000
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_label:1:Core 0
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_max:1:86000
)

see bug 264290 for more info about core 2 temp sensors, and a problem
that seemed like it was caused by high temps, but has gone away for me
with 2.6.27-3.

[Bug 92338] Re: NetworkManager takes over already used nfsroot interface

2008-09-22 Thread Peter Cordes
 On more careful reading of this bug (#92338), it seems to be reporting the 
problem that your main network interface can't be in /etc/network/interfaces if 
you want to boot with nfsroot.  The fix for that is support for the "manual" 
setting in interfaces(5) to stop ifupdown breaking the nfsroot. e.g.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

 So I was wrong earlier, and this isn't a dupe of bug 268005, even
though they basically cause the same problem.  I had been going to send
email asking why you closed this even though it was still a problem.
But as I discovered, this bug is fixed, and the regression in n-m in
Intrepid is a different problem.

 I'm pretty sure bug 268005 will be a problem for nfsroot in general,
not just boot=casper.  It prevents nfsroot netbooting the Ubuntu
Intrepid alpha6 live cd (except with a workaround hack).

[Bug 219391] Re: xv doesn't work on ATI ES1000

2008-09-22 Thread Peter Cordes
still present in Intrepid alpha6 i386.

 I discovered that the "Textured Video" adaptor works, but not the 
used-by-default video overlay.
xvinfo:
Adaptor #0: "ATI Radeon Video Overlay"  1 port at 57.
supports a bunch of attributes.
Adaptor #1: "Radeon Textured Video" 16 ports at 58
no port attributes defined

 I can attach a complete xvinfo output if someone wants it.

If something is already using the vid overlay, then anything else will have to 
use the next available adaptor.  e.g. with totem running on the video overlay 
(displaying a black rectangle),
 gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! xvimagesink
does produce its video test pattern.  Its debug output confirms it's using the 
textured video adaptor.

 However with videotestsrc ! xvimagesink producing a black rectangle on
the video overlay, totem makes a mess of the Experience Ubuntu (ogg
theora in /usr/share/example-content) video.  It's displayed as streaks
of colour, not the correct video at all.  Maybe the XV adaptor has bugs
with the colour space it's using, but not videotestsrc's colourspace.
The colours are the same in a screenshot, so they're screwy before
getting to the framebuffer.

 In Hardy, I'm not sure there was a textured video adaptor, so this
sounds like a separate bug.  The vid overlay is still broken, so even if
xv textured video sometimes works, this bug isn't gone.  (esp. since the
xv vid overlay is the default adaptor.)

[Bug 105538] Re: Setting capslock to control in gnome keyboard preferences leaves capslock stuck on

2008-09-23 Thread Peter Cordes
MountainX, you don't need sudo in /etc/rc.local.  It runs as root on
bootup, like all init scripts.

Are you sure your loadkeys method even works?  loadkeys is a totally
different way to change your keymap:  It changes the Linux kernel
keymap.  I though X put the kbd in raw mode, and got keycodes which
weren't affected by Linux's keymap, but maybe I'm remembering wrong or
it's changed in the few years since I've used loadkeys instead of just
xkb options.  I don't think loadkeys even accepts the same syntax as
xmodmap; loadkeys(1) and keymaps(5) don't say anything about "add"
lines.


 The easiest way to swap ctrl and caps (for X11, doesn't affect the text 
consoles like loadkeys) is to set the xkb option ctrl:swapcaps.  The defaults 
can be set in xorg.conf, or you could arrange for your X session startup 
scripts to include setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps.

 I like having my capslock as an extra control (ctrl:nocaps), since some
of muscle memories send my finger to the key labeled Ctrl, but capslock
is right there on the home row so it's easier to reach, and where
Control is on e.g. Sun and original VT100 keyboards. :)  Plus, I find
the Caps Lock feature useless and annoying.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
Driver  "kbd"
#   Option  "CoreKeyboard"
Option  "XkbRules"  "xorg"
Option  "XkbModel"  "pc105"
Option  "XkbLayout" "us"
Option  "XkbOptions""ctrl:nocaps"
Option  "Autorepeat""200 40"
#Ubuntu default: lv3:ralt_switch   ISO level 3 shift
EndSection


 Anyway, none of this has anything to do with the bug report, which was that if 
caps-lock is on _when_ you enable ctrl:nocaps (either with setxkbmap or with 
gnome), you won't be able to turn caps-lock off again, because you don't have a 
caps-lock key.  This has happened to me, and I had to re-enable capslock, turn 
off capslock, then re-do the setting.  (setxkbmap -option ''  clears all 
options, BTW.  Get that into your command history before you try to test this, 
unless you really like clicking your mouse.  setxkbmap -print is interesting...)

 Strangely, X turns off the capslock LED when you hit capslock while
ctrl:nocaps is set.  If you hit numlock a couple times, it will sort
itself out and eventually display the correct set of LEDs.

 I was going to say this isn't a gnome-keyboard-preferences bug, since
it's the same problem when you use setxkbmap.  But then I realized that
I couldn't imagine anybody wanting caps-lock to be stuck on, so it would
be a nice feature for g-k-p to turn off caps-lock if it's on before
applying any setting that leaves the keyboard without a caps-lock key.
That would make it more than a straight GUI equivalent of setxkbmap
(with persistence, now that that works properly...)

 The X people probably wouldn't see it as a bug, either.  They probably
wouldn't be willing to make setting xkb options have side effects, like
turning off caps-lock, since you never know what weird things people
might want.  GNOME should be putting the user-friendly do what almost-
everyone-wants wrapping on top of thing, vs. the direct uncooked
interface you get with setxkbmap.  OTOH, I personally would like it if
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps turned off caps-lock, just in case.  e.g.
maybe put that in a script you can run with a mouse click, if you're
using some other window manager.  I can't think of any situation where
I'd want to cripple a console by leaving it stuck in caps-lock on mode.
Although you can hold shift to reverse caps-lock, so you could type
setxkbmap, or anything else in lower case, unless that feature was
disabled (with another xkb option, I think).

 BTW, leaving caps-lock on is an easy mistake to make (once, anyway),
because turning it on when you wanted ctrl (if that's the layout you're
used to) is what might make you run g-k-p in the first place, before you
touch the keyboard again.  (That's what I did.)

[Bug 138920] Re: Matrox Millennium G200 AGP fails 1024x768 resolution

2008-09-10 Thread Peter Cordes
Ubuntu can't detect what resolutions your monitor supports, and the
Monitor section of your xorg.conf doesn't list any.

 I would mark this "invalid", but one could consider it a bug that Ubuntu 
doesn't have a better way to deal with situations where it can't autodetect 
things.  I don't think there's anything wrong with editing a text config file, 
or using
 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
but if there is a tool to do it better, Ubuntu should use that.

(The monitor resolution detection stuff is here in your log file:
(II) MGA(0): I2C Monitor info: (nil)
(II) MGA(0): end of I2C Monitor info
(--) MGA(0): No DDC signal

DDC is the signaling method for computers to ask monitors about
themselves, etc.

 Since Xorg can't get any info from the monitor, it falls back on very
conservative defaults for horizontal and vertical refresh rate limits,
which only allow up to 800x600 resolutions.  Your log says your vid card
has 8MB of RAM, so your card definitely supports 1024x768.  If your
monitor does too, go look up its specs (hsync and vsync, aka horizontal
and vertical refresh range, or whatever.)

on my system,  my Xorg.0.log has lines like
...
(II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines:
(II) intel(0): Modeline "1680x1050"x0.0  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 
1059 1089 -hsync +vsync (65.3 kHz)
(II) intel(0): Modeline "800x600"x0.0   40.00  800 840 968 1056  600 601 605 
628 +hsync +vsync (37.9 kHz)
...


 Here's an example "Monitor" section:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier  "opti"
Option  "DPMS"
DisplaySize 320 240
# 32x24 cm
HorizSync   30-70
VertRefresh 50-120
EndSection

HorizSync is in khz, VertRefresh is in Hz.

[Bug 182940] Re: network NFS DHCP boot fails on multiple NIC machine

2008-09-11 Thread Peter Cordes
-t 7 is too short for my setup.  -t 60 should be safe.

I was able to netboot the Hardy livecd (which detects my interfaces such
that eth1 is the one with the cable plugged in to it).  (It does
boot=casper, not boot=nfs, so it doesn't normally look at ip= at all.)
I booted with break=mount, and started shells on tty2 and tty3, then did
ipconfig -t 60 all.  I had to kill an ipconfig eth0 /tmp/..., but then
the boot worked fully.

[Bug 268005] Re: live cd from nfsroot breaks the nfs mount during bootup

2008-09-11 Thread Peter Cordes
I marked this as also affecting casper, since it's with boot=casper, not
boot=nfs.  Also, most nfsroot systems probably wouldn't have N-M
installed.

In Hardy and Intrepid, scripts/casper-bottom/23networking builds a 
/etc/network/interfaces with
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual

In Hardy, this apparently prevents N-M from bringing the interface down
then up.  nm-applet's dropdown just shows "manual..."

In Intrepid, this doesn't stop N-M.  So unless there's some other way of
asking N-M to back off (which casper should use), this is a regression
in N-M in Intrepid.

 N-M's changelog shows that 21_manual_means_always_online was dropped or
not needed anymore.  Maybe that's when the regression happened.  Or
maybe not, but I'm not going to debug this further myself.

[Bug 92338] Re: NetworkManager takes over already used nfsroot interface

2008-09-11 Thread Peter Cordes
casper in Hardy (and maybe earlier) writes a /etc/network/interfaces with
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

 for each interface.  This keeps N-M from touching it.  Except in
Intrepid; see bug 268005 which is a dupe of this bug, since I didn't see
this before reporting it.


scripts/nfs doesn't rewrite interfaces, of course, since you can edit it

2008-09-13 Thread Peter Cordes
The coretemp scale change is normal, and is explained here:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/4/29/1661864
---
  The thing is, the temperature is stored as a relative value in the CPU.
  Relative to what, depends on the CPU model, can be 85°C or 100°C. Up to
  kernel 2.6.24 we had a set of rules to find out, in 2.6.25 we have a
  presumably better heuristic. So some people have seen their CPU
  temperature climb by 15°C and others drop by 15°C, that's expected.
---

 I don't think it explains the keyboard hangs and blocked tasks at all,
so maybe that's something else.  I'll try 2.6.27-3 soon.

[Bug 264290] Re: linux 2.6.27-2.3: coretemp reads 15C too hot, and keyboard is occasionally unresponsive

2008-09-16 Thread Peter Cordes
I've been running 2.6.27-3 for the past couple days without problems.
Maybe the problems I had before really were due to overheating, since I
did knock over the case sometime shortly before trying 2.6.27-2.3 :(,
and I re-applied thermal paste on my CPU heatsink before trying
2.6.27-3.  Still, even before that it ran fine with 2.6.24.  And my CPU
temps are only a couple degrees lower.  I don't really think it was a
physical thermal problem, but I can't rule it out.

 Anyway, I think the long-delay bug is no longer happening for me.
Maybe something in 2.6.27-3 was a fix for my hardware.

 Can launchpad clone a bug, so I can mark the freezing part of this as
fixed, and the coretemp part as a sort of non-bug?  The coretemp reading
is of course still 15C higher than with Hardy, and doesn't agree with
the BIOS, but that's meant to happen.

[Bug 199923] Re: evdev grabs all devices even if it's disabled

2008-09-24 Thread Peter Cordes
> The upstream developers realize this is a bug in evdev 1.2, which is
why it's been fixed in evdev 2.0.

 I think Jeffrey was talking about just the lack of Emulate3Buttons,
which is now present in evdev in Intrepid.  I don't see anything in its
man page about disabling evdev entirely.

 I'd still like to be able to disable evdev so my keyboard will use the old X 
keycodes for compatibility with programs that depend on them; they're different 
for the arrow keys:
evdev: left = 113 right = 114 up = 111 down = 116
kbd: left = 100 right = 102 up = 98 down = 104

 I have a Dell DS2161-2 kvm-over-ip switch, and it's over-ip function
works by loading a java program that talks to the switch over an
encrypted connection.  I assume the java program makes use of the
keycodes (not keysyms) the viewer gets from X to generate scancodes for
the USB keyboard the remote computer sees.  When I press up-arrow on my
evdev keyboard, Ubuntu on the remote machine runs the gnome screenshot
applet.  :(

 So the Java program doesn't seem to be portable to other keyboard
layouts, or something.  I guess I should report it to Dell, but in the
meantime I'd rather just be able to kludge around it by using the kbd
driver.  (Intrepid on my laptop insists on loading evdev when hal sees
the touchpad and apparently a ps/2 mouse, and I haven't figured out what
devices to put in Xorg.conf to handle everything and thus hopefully
prevent X from deciding to use evdev.  If I could, I'd just disable HAL
or whatever.)  My Hardy desktop still uses kbd and mouse, not evdev.

 I'm with Jeffrey on this; it would be really nice if new pieces of
system infrastructure were as non-mandatory as possible.  e.g. you can
still avoid udev if you don't like it.

[Bug 105519] Re: livecd clock is (inevitably) wrong

2008-09-24 Thread Peter Cordes
dhcp has a timezone option.  I might not be widely used, but dhclient on
the livecd should be configured to request timezone or location or
whatever the option is.  Then if the server does support it, you're all
set.

 DHCP also supports a list of NTP servers, although that's not so
necessary since Ubuntu seems to have a default for that anyway.  It
would be much better to use people's ISP's NTP servers, though.

 Many machines will have their BIOS clocks set to local time, so if you
can get the difference between that and NTP time, that would be a good
default for a timezone (although there are multiple timezones with the
same time offset).  Probably you'd have to record hwclock time, then do
ntpdate, if ntpdate modifies the hwclock, too.

 On machines with BIOS clock = UTC, which is good if you never boot any
silly OSes that don't support that, the livecd will just default to
timezone = UTC, like before.

[Bug 275299] [NEW] ubuntu-mobile-default-settings: better descriptions describing target MIDs

2008-09-27 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-mobile-default-settings

 It's not obvious from the package descriptions that Ubuntu Mobile
targets small-screen netbooks.  Although that does sound familiar from
reading news items, it would be appropriate to make it clear in the
package descriptions that Ubuntu Mobile is for netbooks, not laptops in
general.  (I was wondering if Ubuntu had decided to make ubuntu-desktop
be for desktops, and ubuntu-mobile be the equivalent for laptops, so
pcmcia, wireless, and that sort of thing could be left out of ubuntu-
desktop, or at least only be Recommended or Suggested for desktops.)

 anyway, I installed ubuntu-mobile-default-settings on my 15" screen
laptop (no palm pilot, so I didn't want to pull in gnome-pilot-sync with
ubuntu-mobile), and was unpleasantly surprised by how intrusive it was.
Among other things, u-m-d-s installs devilspie with a config file that
causes every new X11 window to be maximized and undecorated.  The
windows aren't re-decorated after moving or resizing, and I don't see an
obvious way to do anything with them (other than reading up on
devilspie).

 So what I'm trying to say is that u-m and u-m-d-s need descriptions like:
--
u-m:
Description: The Ubuntu mobile system
This package depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu mobile system.

Ubuntu Mobile is an alternative to ubuntu-desktop, intended for use on 
Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs).  See 
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile.  MIDs typically have:
  * 4 to 7 inch touch screen
  * Physical and/or virtual keyboard
  * 2GB to 8GB Flash or disk storage, 256MB+ memory (512MB+ recommended)

It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that 
it not be removed.
---
u-m-d-s:
This package contains GConf and application default settings as well as the 
panel configuration for
an Ubuntu Mobile desktop, intended for use on Mobile Internet Devices with 
< 7" screens.

By default, every newly-opened window will be maximized and undecorated, so 
you probably don't want this on a machine with a larger screen.
---

 That MID feature list is from the URL I included, with the obvious or
not-really-relevant ones pared out.

[Bug 275304] [NEW] wrong ownership of .Xauthority and /tmp/libgksu-xxx

2008-09-27 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gksu

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksudo xterm

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/peter# ll $XAUTHORITY 
-rw--- 1 peter peter 150 2008-09-27 20:20 /tmp/libgksu-3t0ebS/.Xauthority

 The directory is also owned by the user who ran gksudo, so they could
modify .Xauthority during the gksudo session.

 This isn't really a security problem, because anyone who runs gksudo is
root-equivalent in the first place.  An attacker gaining access to their
account could do lots of things besides try to exploit root X processes
by writing to their .Xauthority.  e.g. capture user's password and sudo
themselves.

 The problem this does cause is that gksudo only works for sudo-to-root.
gksudo -u other-user xterm  fails, because xterm can't open .Xauthority,
because it doesn't have read permission on it or even exec permission on
the dir it's in.

 Ah, I see.  ubuntu-mobile and ubuntu-mid are both built from the

 Yeah, that's what a curious sysadmin needs to know when seeing this

2008-09-01 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

...
 * config: Disable pcspkr (in favor of snd-pcsp)

module-init-tools 3.3-pre11-4ubuntu9 changes:
 * Blacklist snd_pcsp by default.

When I upgraded my Hardy system to the Intrepid kernel (with Hardy's
module-init-tools), snd-pcsp was alsa card0.  :(  So yeah, blacklist it.

 But my machine doesn't beep, because pcspkr isn't built anymore. :(  I
don't want my system beeps to come out my speakers.  I haven't checked
the config of -server kernels, but it would definitely be appropriate
for them to use the pcspkr beep.

 In Hardy, snd-pcsp is in linux-ubuntu-modules-...-generic, and pcspkr
is in linux-image-...-generic

2008-09-02 Thread Peter Cordes
> We simply do not want pcspkr enabled by default.

 Couldn't you build it and blacklist it, like with snd-pcsp?  Or is that
open bug about not obeying the blacklist why it's not built at all?
(hmm, is it maybe getting loaded in the initramfs, which doesn't have
the blacklist?  Because it's an "input" module?)

> Too many people complain about it.

 I guess I'm pretty old-school, liking my computers to beep.  But not
having it come out my main speakers means that the volume setting on my
speakers doesn't matter, and it works even when my speakers are in
optical input mode, and mplayer is sending them DTS audio over TOSLINK.

 I'll try snd-pcsp again, but before I upgraded module-init-tools, snd-
pcsp became alsa card0, which is horrible.  Probably it won't be too
hard to config things so that's not the case, but I'd rather alsa didn't
know about it at all.

 happy hacking,

[Bug 264290] [NEW] linux 2.6.27-2.3: coretemp reads 15C too hot, and keyboard is occasionally unresponsive

2008-09-03 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

I tried Intrepid's kernel on my Hardy C2Duo system.  I ran into a serious 
problem: sometimes the kernel would stop receiving keyboard events.  I think 
this behaviour is related to CPU load and a faulty temperature reading.  e.g. 
after pressing "+" in aptitude (triggering some dependency calculations), the 
key release event would go unnoticed.  I was in X running gnome-terminal, so I 
could click on another tab (the mouse was unaffected), and the "+" characters 
would be visible.  (That's how I'm sure it wasn't some other sort of hang.)  
The kernel log shows messages like
INFO: task xfsdatad/0:7209 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
...stack backtrace
...
INFO: task java:11768 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
...
(full log attached, see below).

 I've never seen anything like that before, in over 2 years of stable
operation on this hardware.


 2.6.27... ran fine overnight and through a day (without interactive use except 
a big soon after boot) just running azureus (java bittorrent).  I only started 
to notice problems after 7-zipping something, and making the CPU work.  After I 
noticed the pausing behaviour, I thought the machine might be overheating, and 
sensors (reading the coretemp module) showed my idle CPU temp at ~60, and my 
load CPU temp at ~80, even when I turned up my CPU and case fans to full speed. 
 Normally I max out at 70 with fans at slow speed, running two instances of 
burnP6.  In case it matters, I hadn't updated module-init-tools to the Intrepid 
version yet.  I'm pretty sure I was able to reproduce the key sticking after 
doing that and booting again, though, but I didn't run long enough to see any 
backtraces in the kernel log.

 It turns out that Hardy's 2.6.24 reads 15C cooler than Intrepid's 2.6.27, and 
that the BIOS on my mobo agrees with the lower number: idle at ~45C.  There was 
a big update to the coretemp driver between Hardy and Intrepid, and I bet it's 
the cause of the change in behaviour.

and similar for Core 1.
I don't know why a bogus temp reading would make the system go crazy and hang 
for a long time, unless this temp is somehow communicated to ACPI, or Linux 
does something to try to throttle.
My BIOS doesn't have ACPI thermal support: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ is empty, 
even though thermal.ko is loaded.

 It's late and I might be forgetting something.  I'll look over this
later...

Intrepid probably shouldn't release this gridengine without another

[Bug 125687] Re: Samba does not start on boot.

2008-09-08 Thread Peter Cordes
> This should be already fixed in hardy.

 It isn't totally fixed, unless samba is supposed to start before
interfaces are configured by DHCP, and that doesn't count as a bug.

my smb.conf has
   interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 10.255.255.255/8
   bind interfaces only = true

 so eth0 _has_ to be up and configured by DHCP before smbd starts, or it will 
end up listening only on the loopback interface.  I put this hack at the end of 
my /etc/rc.local
(sleep 60 && /etc/init.d/samba restart)&

 After every boot, one of smbd and nmbd has already exitted by the time
the restart happens.  Sorry I don't remember which.  My hack does get
both started properly, though, since networking is always up by then.

debsums -a samba  shows that my /etc/init.d/samba is the Ubuntu package
version (3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4).

[Bug 268005] [NEW] live cd from nfsroot breaks the nfs mount during bootup

2008-09-08 Thread Peter Cordes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

I'm half guessing that this is N-M's bug, so it may need to be
reassigned.

 I've been trying to boot the Intrepid Desktop i386 (alpha5) LiveCD from
a NFS/TFTP/DHCP server (i.e. PXE).

 I can netboot the Intrepid live CD, accessing filesystem.squashfs over
nfs (mounted by the initramfs, so not nfsroot by all definitions).  The
problem is that after the init scripts are done, the NFS mount is dead,
and all I/O hangs forever.  cat is usually in the cache, so I can even
cat /var/log/kern.log, and files in /proc, like /proc/mounts, but if
tab-completion accesses anything from filesystem.squashfs, the tty is
tied up permanently.  /etc/init.d/NetworkManager runs late in the boot
sequence, so it's possible that all the scripts after it are already
cached locally.  Or that it doesn't break the network until later.  Or
maybe it's not N-M's fault at all.

 So you only get 6 tries after switching away from X (which manages to
start up far enough to show a blank orange screen and start spinning the
cursor).  Running things in the background in case they hang works, but
tab-completion will still hang your shell.  /proc/mounts doesn't
indicate any problems, and the NFS mount looks up.  I don't know what to
cat in /proc or /sys to duplicate the info I'd get from ifconfig.
(neither it nor ip(8) are in the cache.)  This is a really hard problem
to debug...  TORAM=yes might help, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
(There is code that looks for that env var, even if toram isn't parsed
by /init.)  Probably the thing to do would be to mount a local
filesystem somewhere and run binaries from it.

 It's definitely an init script that breaks the NFS mount, because
booting with init=/bin/bash drops me to a shell after the initramfs does
its thing.  Then I can run find over the whole squashfs filesystem with
no problems.


 My client machine (holly) PXE boots, and my pxelinux.cfg/default looks like

DEFAULT menu.c32
SAY press return for menu
prompt 1

LABEL intrepid-i386
kernel intrepid-i386/vmlinuz
append boot=casper netboot=nfs 
nfsroot=10.0.0.17:/mnt/GP1TB/srv/intrepid-a5-i386 
initrd=intrepid-i386/initrd.gz --
# other useful args: text  to not start gdm

...other LABELs

Everything is set up properly so it loads vmlinuz and initrd.gz that
were unpacked from /casper in the intrepid iso image.  I've been
netbooting Debian installers and whatnot for years, and I'm sure I
didn't get that part wrong.  BTW, I had to search for a while and
eventally read /init to figure out the right boot args, if those even
are all the boot args needed.  I found lots of older docs, e.g. for
feisty and Gutsy.  I guess I should have looked at initramfs(8),
although it doesn't say what combination you need exactly for NFS root
to work.

10.0.0.17:/... is where I unpacked the whole ISO (with 7z x intrepid-
desktop-i386.iso).  casper/filesystem.squashfs exists under that.
/mnt/GP1TB is exported to the subnet that the client is on.  I unpacked
the CD instead of exporting a loopback mount of the iso image to rule
out any possibility of problems on the NFS server side.

 Unsurprisingly, I get the same results if I boot the same kernel and
initrd with the same args, but from syslinux on a USB stick instead of
pxelinux.

 I've tried this on two different clients with identical results: a Dell
PE1950 server at work (dual bnx2 gigE onboard), and an Asus K8V (Marvell
Yukon gigE onboard, no other NICS) at home.  So it's not a eth0/eth1
confusion problem, because my home machine only has an eth0.  I use NFS
all the time between my home machines, so I'm confident there's nothing
wrong with the network or my NFS setup.  (NFS server (tesla) is running
linux Ubuntu 2.6.24-21.42-generic, boot server (llama) is running
dnsmasq 2.43-1~bpo40+1 on Debian Etch.  Etch's pxelinux, too, except
Hardy's at work and when booting syslinux from USB...)

 LiveCD netbooting used to work as late as Gutsy. see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot.  It doesn't work with Hardy,
either, but I haven't tried as hard to see if maybe a different
combination of kernel params would work.  I haven't managed to get Hardy
as far as NFS mounting the squashfs, so it's problems aren't due to any
init scripts.

[Bug 268005] Re: live cd from nfsroot breaks the nfs mount during bootup

2008-09-08 Thread Peter Cordes
I thought of a way to debug this: hit alt+sysrq+e to send a sigterm to
all tasks while init scripts are running, but before NetworkManager
starts.

 I tried it after booting with TORAM=yes, since it seemed to be hung
there.  It actually works, and I'm running from a filesystem.squashfs
that was loaded to tmpfs.  So I manually ran some  sudo
/etc/rc2.d/whatever start, and after starting dbus then NetworkManager,
I see that ifconfig shows eth0 go down for a short while after N-M's
start script runs.

 For netbooting the livecd to work, we need a way to prevent N-M from
running, or at least from doing this.  Or we need NFS mounts that
survive the interface going down then up.  In fact I'm a bit surprised
it doesn't seem to survive.  (since I booted with TORAM=yes, I didn't
have any NFS mounts when I was running the init scripts.)

I tried this again: I booted the i386 Intrepid alpha5 CD, and installed

gets me up to 72C on each core.  Ambient temp is somewhat lower than

it's either the lower reported temps or maybe i386 kernels don't show

[Bug 25496] Re: toRam or copy2Ram (run ubuntu live from ram)

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Cordes
It sort of works to boot Intrepid's livecd with TORAM=yes, but you have
to give it a kick with ALT+SYSRQ+E when it gets stuck after the message
from the squashfs module.

 The code  for doing stuff if $TORAM is set (to non-zero length, IIRC)
is there, but nothing sets $TORAM.  So do it yourself from the kernel
command line.  /init inherits kernel params as env vars, and
/scripts/casper inherits them too.

 I have booted an i386 with 1.5GB of RAM from Intrepid alpha5 on a USB
stick, with TORAM=yes + a sysrq kick, and it did work.

[Bug 268005] Re: live cd from nfsroot breaks the nfs mount during bootup

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Cordes
The Hardy netboot issues can be debugged by booting with break=mount debug=y,
then running 
t=/dev/tty2; sh <$t >$t 2>$t &  # repeat for tty3 if you want
exit

 boot will continue, and hang because the network is down.  You can
debug by switching to another console and looking at /casper.log (where
stdout and stderr are redirected).

Some script tries to switch to manual mode when nfsroot booting, so ifup
doesn't screw it up later.  I guess if you don't put ip=something (other
than dhcp) on the commandline, Hardy won't nfsroot boot.

 This is not the NetworkManager issue, and is not present in Intrepid.
I only mention it because Hardy is an LTS release, so it people may be
trying to mess around with it on servers for a while...

 Hmm, Hardy might be failing because it tries to use eth0, while the
network cable is plugged in to eth1, according to its detection order.
(I haven't tried netbooting Hardy at home, only on a Dell PE1950 with
dual bnx2 NICs.)  Intrepid detects the ports in the opposite order, with
eth0 as the port marked GbE 1 (of 2) on the back, and which has the
lower MAC address.  I plugged my cables into GbE 1 since the BIOS
defaults to netbooting from that interface, but not the other one, among
other reasons.  So anyway, maybe it's just Hardy's bad luck, and
Intrepid would have the same problem if it needed to use eth1.

[Bug 258469] Re: need to blacklist software direct rendering, e.g. ATI ES1000

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Cordes
I wasn't able to try this again until now, since I had limited time in the 
machine room and I had trouble netbooting a livecd.
(see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/268005...)

 This bug doesn't seem to be present on this hardware anymore in the
i386 Hardy alpha5 livecd.  I've booted i386 Hardy alpha5 without compiz
problems on a machine with a NVidia 7600GT AGP, too.  (nice UI for
suggesting the non-free drivers for desktop-effects, BTW.)

On the Dell PE1950 (ATI ES1000):
$ xdriinfo driver 0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Screen "0" is not direct rendering capable.

 and indeed, xdpyinfo doesn't show XFree86-DRI among the loaded
extensions.  Even though Xorg.0.log has a line that says "(II) Loading
extension XFree86-DRI".  It does still have all the stuff about setting
up the swrast dri provider, though.

glxinfo says "direct rendering: Yes" (Mesa Project Software Rasterizer),
just like on my NVidia desktop.  The SGI-GLX extension is present.


 I booted Intrepid i386 alpha4 again, and the gray-screen bug is still there.  
It shows the same thing for xdriinfo, and XFree86-DRI is not present.

 I can easily boot Intrepid with nfsroot now.  Actually, I'll just leave it 
running on perun03 until I make some more progress cloning my Ubuntu server 
install onto the rest of the nodes.  So now's a great time to ask me for any 
info...
Do you need the Xorg.0.log from alpha5?  I didn't see any diffs that looked 
important...

[Bug 229732] Re: USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Cordes
This is only a problem with break=premount or earlier.  break=mount
happens after hal/udev have loaded drivers for everything.

 Note that some servers don't _support_ ps/2 keyboards anymore.  e.g. I
have a rack of Dell PE1950 machines with a KVM-over-IP that connects to
1 USB port and their VGA out.  I don't think the PE1950 even has a PS/2
port anywhere.

 The best fix for this is probably in scripts/functions:panic().  It already 
does
modprobe i8042
modprobe atkbd
 before dropping to a shell.

 So just add maybe 
modprobe ehci-hcd
modprobe hid
to that.  I think that's right.  I'll see if I can boot a machine with a ps/2 
and usb kbd attached, and load modules until the USB kbd starts working at 
break=premount.

 Hmm, I don't know how to detect the right USB controller module.  ehci-
hcd is for usb2.0 machines, and older hardware only has uhci-hcd or
ohci-hcd.  There might be laptops with no ps/2 ports, broken internal
keyboards, and only USB1.1 support.  Other than that, this fix would be
enough for most people, since USB keyboards are most often used on newer
computers.  At least USB1.1 computers will have PS/2 ports...

[Bug 268005] Re: live cd from nfsroot breaks the nfs mount during bootup

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Cordes
I have a workaround for nfsroot booting Intrepid:  
boot with break=init
touch /cow/etc/init.d/NetworkManager
exit

 You will boot normally, but N-M won't run (because files in /cow take
precedence over files in filesystem.squashfs, so it's init script is
empty).

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Cordes
Any way of preventing NetworkManager from starting (or from bringing
your interface down and then up) is sufficient.  Or maybe just pre-
caching the files it will try to access while the network is down, if
N-M gets stuck trying to access some files while the network is down.

[Bug 229732] Re: USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs

2008-09-09 Thread Peter Cordes
I booted a machine with a USB and a PS/2 keyboard from an i386 Intrepid alpha5 
USB drive, with break=premount.
 panic() should run (after the modprobe for ps/2 keyboards):

if ! grep -q '^H:.*kbd' /proc/bus/input/devices ; then
# no keyboard?  Try USB.
  modprobe uhci-hcd
  modprobe ohci-hcd
  modprobe usbhid
fi

 The line we want to match with grep is
H: Handlers=kbd 
(that line has a trailing space.)
In a fully running kernel, the line is e.g.
H: Handlers=kbd event1

 It's ok to load both USB modules, esp. since this only happens with
break=whatever, or some other panic.  So they won't be loaded for most
people's normal boots.  When we're trying handle errors, it's better to
be safe.  And it won't load anything extra if a keyboard of any kind is
known to the kernel, thanks to grep on /proc/bus/input/devices.

 I'm not aware of USB host drivers other than ohci and uhci;  They
should work for almost all hardware ever.  ehci-hcd isn't needed for
keyboards, and is not sufficient for using them.  I guess it _only_
handles USB2.0 HighSpeed devices.

 After modprobing both USB HCD drivers, I exitted from the
break=premount shell, and the boot continued normally from my USB drive.
ehci-hcd was loaded properly and both keyboards work after boot.  (K8V
mobo, Via K8T800 chipset.)

Hardy does not suffer from this bug.  The problems I was having with Hardy were 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/182940, because 
as I said, Hardy's kernel detected interfaces in opposite order to how they're 
labeled on the chassis.

 I netboot Hardy at home on my single-NIC desktop with no problems.

[Bug 258469] Re: need to blacklist software direct rendering, e.g. ATI ES1000

2008-09-10 Thread Peter Cordes
It's not running.  ps axuw | grep compiz doesn't return anything.  And
the visual effects radio button on gnome-appearance-properties is set to
"none".

 Setting it to "normal" makes the screen go gray, then ~10 seconds later
back to normal with the radio button switched back to "none".  I didn't
see the gray during bootup, so I don't think compiz even tried then.

  There was no mention of compiz in any log files, or .xsession-errors, until 
after trying to enable it.  Then it does have some compiz log messages.  stuff 
like:
compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image 
format
and a bunch of failures to init things.

[Bug 5944] Re: init script disregards NFSROOT=auto option in some cases

2008-09-10 Thread Peter Cordes
This bug is a feature request for backward-compatible cmdline parsing.

NFSROOT is not a documented parameter in initramfs-tools(8), only
nfsroot.

IMHO, people who have old ROMs that append stuff that's no longer
compatible with current initramfs should do a two stage boot: have their
ROM  load pxelinux or something that can boot linux with the right
parameters.  AFAIK, this is possible.  If it wasn't, I'd be more
inclined to agree with the backward compat request.

2008-09-10 Thread Peter Cordes
> ... but listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid and id but not when doing ls -l
/dev/disk/by-uuid ...

huh?  Are you saying there are entries for your PATA disks in /dev/disk
/by-uuid, but ls -l doesn't list them?

 What kind of PATA controller?  post lspci output.  (sorry, I don't feel
like reading MSI's web site to find out what kind of PATA controller
your mobo has.)  Intel southbridges since ICH8 have no PATA ports, so
mobos usually include a third-party controller.

 What driver does the hardy kernel use to for your PATA controller?
probably Intrepid's kernel isn't detecting your controller.

 Also, please try again with with Intrepid alpha5, since it has a new
kernel (linux 2.6.27).

[Bug 162594] Re: audacity does not play a sound since Gutsy upgrade

2008-09-10 Thread Peter Cordes
AFAIK, Ubuntu wants everything that outputs sound to go through
pulseaudio. (a software mixing daemon).  Not everything supports pulse,
though, and will find the audio device unavailable if something else
already has it open through pulse.

sudo lsof /dev/snd/*

will almost always tell you what process you need to stop to free up the
audio device, if you don't want to convert everything to pulseaudio.

 Or I think it's appropriate to report bugs on any program that
doesn't/can't use pulseaudio by default.
