[Bug 1863894] Re: /etc/bash.bashrc invokes groups command which is slow in large environments

2020-02-19 Thread Sam Morris
** Description changed:

  /etc/bash.bashrc runs groups(1) whenever a new shell is started.
  
  This command calls getgrgid(3) on every group of which the user is a
  member.
  
  In an environment where FreeIPA is used to allow users to log into their
  computers using their Active Directory accounts, I have seen each call
  to getgrid(3) take over ten seconds. My Active Directory user is a
  member of 30 groups and it is not uncommon for users to be a member of
  50 or more groups. This results in enormous delays when logging in to a
  system with SSH, launching a terminal emulator or even creating a new
  tab in an existing terminal emulator.
  
  The code from /etc/bash.bashrc wants to find out whether the user is a
  member of the 'sudo' or 'admin' groups in order to display a hint to the
  user.
  
  # sudo hint
  if [ ! -e "$HOME/.sudo_as_admin_successful" ] && [ ! -e "$HOME/.hushlogin" ] 
; then
- case " $(groups) " in *\ admin\ *|*\ sudo\ *)
- if [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then
-   cat <<-EOF
-   To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo ".
-   See "man sudo_root" for details.
-   
-   EOF
- fi
- esac
+ case " $(groups) " in *\ admin\ *|*\ sudo\ *)

+  cat <<-EOF
+  To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo ".
+  See "man sudo_root" for details.
+ 
+  EOF
+ fi
+ esac
  fi
  
  This can be rewritten to avoid calling getgrgid(3) for every group that
  the user is a member of by doing something like this (untested):
  
  # sudo hint
  if [[ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]]; then
- if [[ ! -e $HOME/.sudo_as_admin_successful && ! -e $HOME/.hushlogin ]]; 
then
- sudo_gid=$(getent group sudo | cut -d: -f3)
- admin_gid=$(getent group admin | cut -d: -f3)
- for gid in $(id -G); do
- if [[ $gid -eq $sudo_gid || $gid -eq $admin_gid ]]; then
- cat <<-EOF
- To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use 
"sudo ".
- See "man sudo_root" for details.
- EOF
- break
- fi

- fi

  As an aside: the reason that getgrid(3) is so slow is because it must
  fetch the members of each group. There is no quick way to do this in
  Active Directory: a recursive search for group members must be
  performed, followed by a lookups to retrieve each of their their POSIX
  UIDs, and then more lookup to retrieve their POSIX username.
  
  Even when the 'ignore_group_members' sssd(8) option is enabled, which
  causes getgrid(3) to report that a group has no members, calling
  getgrid(3) on 30-40 groups still takes a few seconds. And this option is
  not the default.
  
  It's also not uncommon to have groups with spaces in their names, which
  causes groups(1) to produce ambiguous output.
  
  For these reasons it is best to avoid the use of groups(1) in scripts

[Bug 943881]

2013-06-23 Thread Sam Morris
(In reply to comment #4)
 Is this a duplicate of bug #48414?

I think so. My understanding of the original report is:

 * There is no way to authenticate when printing using CUPS on the
network [to a printer with AuthInfoRequired username,password in its
printers.conf entry]

 * Whereas, in OpenOffice.org 1.2, there is a pop-up window requesting
authentication [when attempting to print to such a printer]

[Bug 365485] [NEW] Aborted upgrade process left laptop in totally fucked state

2009-04-23 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

While upgrading a laptop from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, the user noticed that
openoffice.org-writer had taken about 15 minutes to be unpacked.
Investigating futher I noticed that the dpkg process was in the
uninterruptible sleep state (D). Examining the kernel message buffer
with dmesg I saw that several OOPSes had occurred (I'll try to attach
the output once I get the laptop up and running again). At this point I
decided to reboot; that was a bad idea...

The laptop would no longer boot up. Instead of X starting at the end of
the bootup process, there was simply a blank screen. After a few moments
I realised that the system was simply sitting on a blank virtual
console, and was able to switch to another tty and log in.

At this point, I ran startx, but the system froze completely with a
black screen and a mouse pointer. I had to hard-reboot; this time, I ran
'update-manager -d' to try to resume the upgrade, but got an error
saying that pygtk could not be imported.

I doubt the exact cause of this problem will ever be identified, even if
it is possible for it to be fixed. Instead, I file this bug to draw your
attention to the fact that the present upgrade process is very
unreliable. If an upgrade is interrupted, it must not leave the system
in a totally unusable state!

As a Debian user it is extremely disappointing to see that you have
taken the traditional and very reliable 'dist-upgrade' process, and
replaced it with some weird, fragile upgrade script that requires
working python and X installations.

It is also frustrating that there is basically no end-user documentation
for the upgrade process. The user gets a funny icon in their
notification area, which they click on to trigger the upgrade script...
but where are they presented with the release notes, including upgrade
and recovery procedures? I'm talking about a document like Debian's:
http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/release-notes/ch-
upgrading.en.html.

It is also very frustrating to see that the fragility of the ugprade
process has not improved since I reported bug #108276 for the Feisty
upgrade process, two years ago.

[Bug 365485] Re: Aborted upgrade process left laptop in totally fucked state

2009-04-23 Thread Sam Morris
Some particularly amusing leftovers from the upgrade script were:

 * existence of a mysterious '/usr/shareFeisty' directory; 
 * the permissions of /dev/null were reset such that only root may write to it
 * screwed up ttf-uralic package that complained it could not be removed 
because its fonts had already been de-registered
 * failure to configure ubuntu-standard package because atd package would not 
configure; this was because /etc/init.d/atd start failed; but it did not print 
out why. Strace revealed that it was trying to connect to /dev/log, but the 
connection was refused. After I manually started sysklogd, I could read the 
real error message in syslog: apparantly atd did not have permission to access 
/var/sppol/cron/atjobs. This directory is now owned by user/group bin(!), as 
was /var/spool/cron... what the hell?

Jesus, I'm sorry I don't have a magical built-in knowledge of which
package to file bugs such as this against. I'm sorry for naively typing
in 'upgrade' into the unhelpful package search box and picking a package
that sounded relevant to the problem at hand!

[Bug 365485] Re: Aborted upgrade process left laptop in totally fucked state

2009-04-23 Thread Sam Morris
The difference is that on Debian, I can always resume an upgrade done
with apt-get (or aptitude) dist-upgrade. Even though  the dpkg process
had gotten wedged in state D, the (first) reboot was a normal one; after
I rebooted, I fully expected 'dpkg --configure -a' to resume where it
left off, as it did.

Now although it turns out that I can do that on Ubuntu too, I had no way
of knowing that; all I had to go on was that the upgrade was started
from a mysterious icon in the notification area that no longer appears;
after some research I found out that this was update-manager, but since
that requires pygtk and X, I was not able to run it. For all I knew,
this upgrade script did important things in addition to a dist-upgrade,
things that wouldn't be done if the script was not used...

The problem here is basically the fragility of the upgrade process caused by 
relying on the update-manager script. From the PoV of an experienced Debian 
user, it seems like a pretty, but fragile front-end to running 'aptitude 
dist-upgrade'. And since it does not present any upgrade documentation to the 
user, the user is powerless to fix their system when an upgrade is aborted for 
whatever reaso.
I have now got the system to a working state by doing the old 'dpkg --configure 
--pending' followed by a few invocations of 'aptitude dist-upgrade' punctuated 
by fixing the issues I listed above. Working enough to download an install CD, 
anyway, and do a fresh install. :)

As for /usr/shareFeisty, I assumed that was an artifact of buggy
maintainer scripts, rather than filesystem corruption; although, since I
didn't run fsck before re-installing, I can't rule that out.

[Bug 361066] [NEW] Difficult to share external hard drives

2009-04-14 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

A user found it hard to share files on an external hard drive. Although
it is not clear which package to file the bug against, I guess samba is
a reasonable starting point.

The user wanted to share files on an external usb hard drive. nautilus-
share made that part easy, except that when I tried to access the share,
I got a not-very-helpful generic error message from nautilus.

So I tried to use smbclient directly, and got only
NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME errors, even though 'smbclient -L' revealed
the share existing normally.

After checking the samba log on the user's laptop it appeared that the
shared path (/media/USB-DISK) did not exist! But it certainly did.
Eventually I realised that the problem was that the 'nobody' user could
not access /media/USB-DISK because hal's default policy is to mount
disks so that they are only readable by the mounting user.

So the next step was to add the mount options 'fmask=111,dmask=000' to
the volume, which was ok to do in nautilus, and then remount the disk.
But I still got NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME errors on the client. I
thought that maybe I would have to restart samba to persuade it to try
and look in /media/USB-DISK again, but that didn't work--and then, the
share disappeared from the output of smblcient -L entirely!

At this point I ran 'net usershare list' on the server and got the
following output:

info_fn: file /var/lib/samba/usershares/blah is not a well formed usershare 
file.
info_fn: Error was Path not allowed.

Hm, not very clear. At this point I gave up and began to write this bug
report.

Meanwhile, my user rebooted, and then examined the share properties in
nautilus. Now, they got an error saying that the share would not work
because 'usershare owner only' needed to be set to false. After changing
the option and restarting samba, I was then able to access the share.
Phew!

So I think there are a couple of different bugs here:

 1. Unclear error messages from samba if it is unable to access a shared 
directory
 2. No warning from nautilus-share if samba can't access a shared directory
 3. nautilus-share did not recognise that the situation had changed and did not 
present the useful message until the user had restarted

[Bug 352357] [NEW] CD mounted and opened when trying to burn a CD

2009-03-31 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

When trying to burn an ISO image I right-clicked on it and selected
'Write to disc'. Then I got asked to insert a CD, so I put in a DVD-RW
disc. Then I pressed burn, got an unknown error (I forget the exact
message but it was not helpful). At the same time, Nautilus opened the
contents of the DVD-RW, which may have been what caused the burn process
to fail.

Nautilus shouldn't mount CDs that it is trying to simultaneously burn
data to.

[Bug 271258] Re: gspca's module fails on 2.6.27-3-generic on Intrepid

2009-03-31 Thread Sam Morris
On the Aspire 5670 at my workplace this prevents Intrepid from booting
at all.

The problem is increased by the hiding of kernel messages during the
boot-up process--the system simply appears to freeze.

Perhaps the severity should be increased?

[Bug 312738] [NEW] Can't send emails via openoffice.org after upgrade

2008-12-31 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 7.10 and earlier, thunderbird was shipped with an executable
'/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird'.

In 8.04, this was changed to only be '/usr/bin/thunderbird'.

This caused openoffice.org to no longer be able to send emails. This was
a very important feature that my Dad used--which he spent six months
thinking that he had broken himself--that stopped working when upgrading
to 8.04.

The problem is that his openoffice.org preferences still referred to
'mozilla-thunderbird' and were not updated to 'thunderbird' during the
upgrade.

 Is the system on which you had the error a hardy system that was
 upgraded ? If yes, did it start failing just after the upgrade ? If not,
 did it start failing as soon as you installed libpam-smbpass ?

In my case, the system was upgraded from hardy. I don't believe the

[Bug 302092] [NEW] logging in immediately logs out again

2008-11-25 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

Logging in via GDM, or login results in the user immediately being
logged out again without any error being displayed.

I booted up in safe mode, and from a root shell ran login(8). If I
logged in there, I saw a segmentation fault error. This does not appear
if I boot up normally.

I finally noticed many of the following kernel messages being logged:

kernel: login[8182]: segfault at 0 ip b7c45abb sp bfc5e9c0 error 4 in
pam_smbpass.so[b7be9000+12a000]

debsums says the checksums of the files in libpam-smbpass are fine.

[Bug 301996] [NEW] will not print using black toner

2008-11-25 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

When printing using splix 2.0.0~rc2-0ubuntu2 (in intrepid) to a Xerox
Phaser 6110, the image comes out using colour toner. I can't tell
whether it's trying to create black by combining cyan yellow and magenta
because I am out of magenta and yellow toner; hence the image only comes
out in cyan.

If I downgrade to the package in hardy (1.1.1-0ubuntu1) then I can print
in black and white just fine.

[Bug 10550] Re: DVDs with restrictive permissions are unreadable for normal user

2008-11-16 Thread Sam Morris
Whatever screwed up process Adobe used to master the CD for Flash 8 also
has this problem. The files are not readable unless the user knows how
to remount the CD with the correct magical mount options. What's worse
is that Wine simply says file not found rather than access denied
when asked to run the installer, making even the diagnosis of the
problem harder than it should be.

[Bug 282364] [NEW] Openoffice sends emails with 'mozilla-thunderbird' which does not exist!

2008-10-12 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

My Dad asked me for help to diagnose why he could no longer email
documents with openoffice. He was using the 'File - Send - E-Mail as
Microsoft Excel' option, but Thunderbird never launched with the
attachment ready for sending.

I found out by using strace that Openoffice was launching the following
program to email its documents:

/usr/lib/openoffice/program/senddoc --mailclient mozilla-thunderbird
--attach /tmp/sv4m0.tmp/sv4mb.tmp/document.xls

Running this in a terminal yeilded the following error:

/usr/lib/openoffice/program/senddoc: 412: mozilla-thunderbird: not found

First bug: the script did *not* exit with a status indicating failure.
Therefore there was no way for Openoffice to find out that the emailing
failed, and hence no way for it to display the message to the end user.

Second bug: Openoffice has 'mozilla-thunderbird' in its preferences
which does not exist on the Ubuntu system; only /usr/bin/thunderbird
exists. This is *not* user-error as my Dad has never touched this
setting.

[Bug 216436] Re: [regression] Brightness hotkeys don't work anymore

2008-04-15 Thread Sam Morris
Well, the keycodes will be set up by default once Ubuntu updates to the
next release of hal-info. The next stage is to get HAL to perform some
action when the brightnessup and brightnessdown keys are pressed... be
that running xbacklight or something else.

[Bug 216436] Re: [regression] Brightness hotkeys don't work anymore

2008-04-13 Thread Sam Morris
I have the same problem. I believe that keycode are defined in
./usr/include/linux/input.h'. Can you run 'setkeycodes e008 225' and
'setkeycodes e008 224' and then press the buttons and see what happens?

On my system this silences the kernel messages, but does not cause the
laptop brightness to actually change. However if I run 'lshal -m' while
pressing them, I can see that HAL picks up the events... I guess it just
does not know what to do with them. How about for you?

It seems that this is a problem when connecting to servers using

regular password authentication. If I disable OTPW then I can connect as
normal.

[Bug 92725] Re: gpg passphrase cached by evolution

2008-01-24 Thread Sam Morris
Upstream seems content to keep Evolution doing passphrase caching for
now.

However, once e-d-s is modified to use gpg2, it will no longer be able
to do so. This is because gpg2 will *only* request passphrases via the
gpg-agent; there is no longer any facility to input a passphrase
directly into gpg2.

Aside from that though: I think the bug is still valid. Evolution should
not handle sensitive information like passphrases itself: it is a large
and complex piece of software. It is better to farm out handling of a
user's passphrase to the gpg agent.

Well, just after I submitted this bug report, the printer whirred into
life and printed the document! So it appears that it just took ages for
Evince to send the document to the spooler. I guess the bug is that
there is no feedback given to the user about what Evince is doing while
it submits a print job.

[Bug 178441] Can't connect to SFTP server

2007-12-24 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

I don't seem to be able to connect to a particular SSH server. I enter
its details in the 'connect to server' dialog box, but after pressing
Connect, nothing happens.

This server is configured to ask for an OTPW password... when connecting
on the command line, the conversation looks like this:

$ ssh host
Password 036:
Password: 
Linux host 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 26 17:54:59 UTC 2007 i686
... etc.

If nautilus is getting confused by the password prompt then the user
should be shown some kind of message to indicate this condition... as it
is, the window never opens, double clicking on the network share icon on
the desktop does nothing, etc.

2007-10-25 Thread Sam Morris
Thank you very much! I will probably have a change to update the Debian
package tomorrow; from there it will filter into Ubuntu whenever the
next synchronisation from Debian - Ubuntu takes place.

[Bug 46278] Re: Confusing error message when saving file

2007-10-23 Thread Sam Morris
This is still present in gutsy.

Please don't close bugs like this without taking the time to see if they
are still reproducable! This is *very* annoying and makes me much less
inclined to bother reporting bugs in the future. See
http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html for more information.

[Bug 41335] Re: DVD playing is not working correctly with totem-gstreamer

2007-10-19 Thread Sam Morris
Ubuntu and DVD playback

Well, I guess there are really three issues here.

First, Canonical feels they cannot ship libdvdcss because doing so would
be illegal in various countries due to their implementations of the WIPO
Copyright Treaty[0]. For instance, the United States has the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act; various European countries have implemented
the European Union Copyright Directive[1] which has the same effect in
the United Kingdom, Spain, the Czech Republic, Finland and France.

[0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIPO_Copyright_Treaty
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Copyright_Directive

I presume that Canonical does this based on sound legal advice; they
would probably only consider changing this policy if somehow the UK's
Copyright and Related Rights Regulations (2003) is overturned or amended
to legalise the production and distribution of devices or software that
permit the circumvention of DRM, and if the same happened in the US and
the other countries listed. As this is a legal problem and not a
technical problem, this bug tracker is probably not the appropriate
forum to discuss it. Ideally this bug would be marked FORWARDED to the
bug trackers of the parliaments of the countries where this legal
minefield exists.

The second problem will be easier to fix; it is the fact that GStreamer
itself has incomplete support for DVD playback. The major stumbling
block in this area is the support for DVD menus, and the fact that the
GStreamer developers do not seem to be willing or able to work on this
area themselves.

The third problem is totem-gstreamer's incomplete support for DVD
playback via the GStreamer API. The impression I get from upstream is
that this will not be worked on until the DVD playback functionality of
GStreamer itself is finished. IMO, this is a shame as Totem could
currently be usefully improved to work with the functionality that
GStreamer currently provides. For instance, when the user tries to play
a DVD, Totem could construct a playlist consisting of dvd://1, dvd://2,
and so on, one entry for each chapter on the DVD. DVD menu support would
still be missing, but that is not a huge problem (some may even call it
a benefit). I started to work on this myself, but I discontinued the
effort because I got the impression that such a patch wouldn't be
accepted by upstream anyway.

[Bug 69800] Re: Please package original icons from source

2007-10-12 Thread Sam Morris
Hi Phil,

First of all, thanks for considering to release the icons under an
additional license.

From my point of view (I produce the packages of sensors-applet that end
up in Debian), an unambigous statement that the icons are additionally
licensed under a Debian-compatible license would be great. For the sake
of simplicity, it would be better if you chose the same terms as the
rest of sensors applet (that is, GPL version 2 or higher); but if you
would prefer to say with the Creative Commons licenses, the CC BY-SA 3.0
license is also Debian-compatible.

The following text should do it, delete text from the portion in
{braces} as applicable:

I, as the author of the icons used by the GNOME Sensors Applet, state
that they are licensed under {the GNU General Public License, version 2
or any later version/the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
license}.

If you have some way to digitally sign the statement (with PGP for
instance) it would help, but it's not really necessary.

Note that as Cesare said, this doesn't prevent the original license (CC
BY-SA 2.5) from continuing to apply.

Thanks again!

It would be better to get the author of the icons to relicense them
under the GPL or CC 3.0 licenses or similar. I tried but got no
response.

[Bug 109031] Re: custom rules file ignored

2007-07-10 Thread Sam Morris
Is it safe to do this remotely? I am now in another part of the country
from this system (which is used by my parents so I don't want to screw
it up). Though I suppose I can reboot it and it will be fine.

BTW, is it possible that this is caused because the tty devices are
created by the copy of udev that exists on the initramfs? I noticed that
my custom rules files aren't included there...

I'll try adding last_rule to the options field. Is it comma or

[Bug 119817] Does not offer to open Excel spreadsheets with Openoffice.org

2007-06-11 Thread Sam Morris
Public bug reported:

When trying top open an attached Excel spreadsheet, the only program
listed as capable of opening the attachment is Gnumeric, which does not
display the file correctly.

Openoffice.org is not listed. In order to open the attachment with
Openoffice.org's spreadsheet, the user has to select 'other' in the
program choice list, then find their way to /usr/bin, then know to pick
'oospread' which is rather cryptic... :)
