Regarding libmpg123, you either need to disable assembly optimizations
(build with generic decoders only), I presume, or someone provide a
patch that adds SHSTK to them. I don't know which implementation of
shadow stacks glibc/gcc is using in that setup. I've read up on the
concept and so far only figured that this is part of a spiral that
complicates ABI and makes providing assembly-optimized functions ever
harder. This would be fine if compilers finally would be smart enough
to evade the need to do so. Last time I checked, hand-tuned AVX
decoding was still a lot more efficient.

We already handle IBT, I think, with indirect jumps landing only in C
wrapper functions. I wonder if we could also limit the shadow stack
impact to those with some compiler/linker flags. The assembly routines
are rather strict math, many years old now without much of attack
surface. All parsing of input is before them in C. They just do lots of
multiplication/addition.

One might try to write a set of optimizations using intrinsics for
modern CPUs that then also get the treatment of shadow stacks or the
next shiny security measure. Porting the AVX code to GCC (and/or other)
inline ASM might also work for some platforms.

(Still, I am wondering why pulseaudio output should need MPEG decoding.)

Re: [Bug 1585926] Re: mp3 files decode as crackly noise

2018-08-05 Thread Thomas Orgis
Did you try mpg123 -o pulse? I remember that noise under Ubuntu when
using pulse via alsa. Using pulse directly worked. As the mpg123 alsa
output works fine with standalone alsa, I suppose the alsa-pulse binding
is buggy.

One could build mpg123 with a changed order of default output  modules,
so that pulse is tried before alsa. But that might start a pulse daemon
where none is wanted. One could drop that alsa plugin that relays to
pulse ... mpg123 would skip alsa if there is no default device
available. One could fix that alsa plugin ... but then, it's still ugly
that mpg123 plays via alsa to pulse that again talks to alsa (kernel)
...when at least mpg123 could talk to pulse directly.

Well, I guess audio on Linux is messy. How's OSS4 doing these days? ;-)

2017-10-04 Thread Dr. Thomas Orgis
Oh … this is _another_ bug. We are dealing here with the situation that
mdmon controlling rootfs on RAID is not handled at all with Ubuntu
initrd, while this new CentOS issue is a bug in said handling in the
CentOS initrd …

The reference is valuable nevertheless … not least because I have
systems about to be upgraded to CentOS 7.4 that might get hit by this
bug!

Can we get any reaction from Ubuntu on this? Is the needed reworking of
the initrd about to happen for the LTS or is this a WONTFIX and root-on-
Intel-Matrix-RAID is simply not supported? It is clear what has to
happen to make things work again with systemd and mdadm/mdmon. Will it
happen?

Well, of course effects are a pain. The sync is only 256G SSDs im my
case.

Main point is that the fix is known since many years and should
hopefully be quickly adaptible to Ubuntu. Or not … if it is really
necessary to switch to a return to the initrd like Fedora.

I wonder if 17.04 has this fixed. Can someone comment on that? Is the
proper initrd buildup/teardown implemented there? I cannot test this on
my servers as they are needed in production.

2017-09-11 Thread Dr. Thomas Orgis
So I got a simple fix for being able to reboot again:

```
udpate-rc.d mdadm disable
```

With that, the mdmon instance from the initrd persists (with @sbin/mdmon
as argv[0]) and is not killed by systemd. So systemd-reboot does not
hang. But: Since mdmon is not killed at all now, the array always gets a
fresh resync on each boot.

We really, really need to implement the return-to-initrd practice to be
able to bring the system down in the proper reverse order of bringing it
up.

(So initrd filesystem has to be kept in memory for the whole time …
wasting some memory with the huge initrds of today's time. It would also
be nice if mdmon was just part of the kernel as it should be.)

It got fixed at some point in 2012 …

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785739

Is Ubuntu still running mdmon from inside the root fs and killing it
before r/o remount?

I am now pondering what to do with a set of file servers running 16.04
and root on an IMSM RAID. I got a number of systems with similar
hardware running CentOS 7 just fine with no issue on reboot.

I see elaborate handling of mdmon in systemd units on CentOS … including
the --offroot command line parameter that I don't see documented
anywhere. KillMode=none might also play a role in the mdmon@.service
file.

[Bug 1585926] Re: mp3 files decode as crackly noise

2016-06-28 Thread Thomas Orgis
This is mpg123 upstream here. I do not have a 16.04 system at hand
currently, cannot confirm (and I suppose it should be a hardware
machine, sound in a VM being possibly a different beast …). So, may I
ask:

1. This is only with pulseaudio, right? Things are smooth when disabling it and 
playing directly via ALSA?
2. Does this persist with current mpg123 built from http://mpg123.org/current 
(it's 1.23.5)?

Minimum receipe:

apt-get install build-essentials
apt-get libpulse-dev
wget https://mpg123.org/current
tar -xf mpg123-1.23.5.tar.bz2
cd mpg123-1.23.5
./configure --disable-shared --with-audio=pulse
make
src/mpg123 $some_file

(Naturally that's my guess, as I did not test on a ubuntu 16.04 system.)

This should produce a self-contained mpg123 binary that does run without
installing any modules.

There was quite some work in the output code going from version 1.22 to
1.23. If the switch fixes things, we at least may have a hint at what
fix might apply to the older version in Ubuntu. I am wondering about
partial PCM frames being received by pulse, in particular. But that
would cause output more like static noise, not what you describe …

About the nature of the broken output … it is not just static noise;
there is still the initial audio intelligible, just played fast with
lots of skippyness? I may test this version of mpg123 on a ubuntu 14.04
box ... can someone tell me if something substantial in pulseaudio
changed from that one (it was supposed to be stable now;-)?

Re: [Bug 1082031] [NEW] Package mpg123 for arm with option --with-cpu=generic_fpu

schrieb Funatiker 1082...@bugs.launchpad.net: 

 According to the Audacious-Board [2] this happens because has no ARM-
 assembly code for playing anything else than 16bit. It can be resolved
 by recompiling mpg123 with option --with-cpu=generic_fpu

Right and wrong.

1. There is ARM-assembly code for 16 bit, 32 bit and float, using NEON
instructions (Cortex A8). That's the most fun way to play with mpg123 on
current ARM machines.
2. The normal ARM code is written for classic ARM CPUs without floating
point support, employing integer math, where output of float values
would be a bit silly.
3. So, for ARMs without NEON, but sporting decent floating
point support, generic_fpu indeed is a good choice.

 [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100

Too bad that's a Tegra 2 that manages to skip on the NEON part. Note
that it would be possible to provide a build of generic_cpu and neon
together, deciding at runtime which to use, just like the x86 build.
But there is a catch: Someone needs some time to prepare some glue code
and test it (the CPU check and setting some function pointers in
optimize.c). Currently, I'm not the one.

For the record: Combining the integer ARM code with floating point code in a 
single
build is unrealistic.

 This bug with solution discussed already here http://redmine.audacious-
 media-player.org/boards/2/topics/315

Um, people want everything, eh? Well, there is some wrong and some
correct information there. The solution of using generic C code works
for getting all output formats, yes (John Lindgren got a wrong
impression there about float output being coupled to assembly
optimizations).

But there also is assembly-optimized decoding to floating point on ARM
platforms that feature the NEON instructions (Cortex A8). There is no
common build encompassing the different variants like x86 and it is not
likely that there will be, as the normal ARM does integer math. There
might be a build that combines ARM NEON with generic C fallback code,
using floating point math.

When audacious insists on floating point data, even on machines that do
not feature floating point hardware, you have some options:

a) build mpg123 with generic_fpu ... which makes it relatively slow for
normal 16-bit playback (or in ARM terms: consuming too much energy),
b) patch audacious mpg123 binding to convert 16 bit to float on-the-fly or
c) patch mpg123 (or motivate a release) to do that float conversion
after decoding, just like 24 bit or  unsigned  integer types are
handled right now.

I see a point for the latter one ... it would not be hard to do it.
Just a bit pointless in case this is running on a CPU that has working
floating point support, or NEON, even.

Thoughts from debian? I see this being a problem for packaging as you
have to decide for one mpg123 build for stand-alone operation and
linking to audacious. Compromises suck.

[Bug 734889] Re: H5 Compat macros nonfunctional with -DH5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS

2012-09-19 Thread Thomas Orgis
Well, package maintainers should just remove --with-default-api-
version=v16 from the build script. Perhaps some dependent packages need
-DH5_USE_16_API following that change, but that is a small price to pay
for having a proper build, eh?

But looking at the time line of this bug, I fear that there is nobody at
ubuntu concerned with HDF5 ... so let's see if poking the debian
maintainers of the package brings something. In any case, the broken
build is in 12.04 LTS, and probably there to stay. Off I am to building
a local HDf5 library install ... this sucks.

What also sucks is that the HDF5 lib lacks a sane way to undo the
enforced default API, except fixing every individual function mapping
macro. This is FAIL* on several levels.

[Bug 665806] [NEW] false battery alarm with realtime app running (jackd)

2010-10-24 Thread Thomas Orgis
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

When I have the JACK daemon running with realtime priority on this MSI Wind 
U100 laptop and pull out the wall power, the system tells me that the battery 
is low and enters hibernation. The battery is full, though.
If JACK is not active, nothing happens (just the battery symbol goes gray, 
which is irritating, but intended, I guess).

This forced hibernation is particulary annoying as JACK really does not
like going to sleep; it cannot be killed by an ordinary user after
resume (meaning: stop it via the button in qjackctl); pkill -9 jackd is
needed. But that's another bug in the JACK audio server that one could
live with, wouldn't the system -- and I suspect it's called gnome-power-
manager here -- force a suspend to disk.

I'll check again if it's really just an issue when JACK has realtime
priority, after posting this initial report (don't wanna loose it as
collateral damage). Even if it is, I suspect some nasty race condition
that could occur any time, but is helped by the scheduling schism
introduced by JACK.

[Bug 665806] Re: false battery alarm with realtime app running (jackd)

2010-10-24 Thread Thomas Orgis
OK, scrap the thing about JACK. It must have been luck before, but now I
was able to get the forced hibernation without jackd running at all. The
rather infurinating thing is that I get dialog that tells about the fact
and offers OK and Cancel buttons... which have no effect on the
action being taken. It might be nice if Cancel being pressed withing
some time frame would cancel the hibernation process. I even triggered
multiple hibernations in a row (unplug, plug, unplug). Causing the
laptop to go to sleep again right after waking up.

Anyhow: When unplugging from wall power, I get this notification blended
onto the desktop about battery state ... and it tells me about 0:02 of
battery runtime, 99% .. which somewhat contradicts the information when
clicking on the battery applet, there I get 99%, OK, but also the much
more sensible estimated runtime of 1:59 or so.

Still, this seems to be a timing issue, perhaps the ACPI information
doesn't change atomically, or there is just an error in the runtime
calculation using an outdated value of whatnot. I suspect, that this
might be worked around by waiting some seconds and then recomputing the
remaining runtime -- and only triggering the emergency if the situation
is confirmed.

I do wonder though, if nobody else can reproduce this. Is the MSI Wind
U100 BIOS just broken? I'm remined of the strange issues with the webcam
and USB, or the Bluetooth/WLAN switch not working correctly by chance
(gladly, it works in the Maverick install, as opposed to the live system
from USB).

2010-10-24 Thread Thomas Orgis
Oh, and I see this issue as rather more serious on observing that I
cannot turn off this behaviour. I can only choose between
shutdown/standby/hibernate. Nothing like nothing or inform/ask user.
Especially since this is not my machine ... so I have to instruct the
user to only unplug the wall power when the machine is not running.

I see the same general issue on a kubuntu 10.04.1 live system (USB
drive). Tell KPackageKit to apply changes ... and wait a few seconds,
and nothing got installed. Console output looks the same (ibus stuff).

I can install using apt-get just fine.

Hm sorry ... that ibus stuff is rather irrelevant, I suppose. All I can
say is that I had similar non-behaviour of kpackagekit. Now, after doing
some installs with apt-get, it suddenly worked.

You might investigate the latest release of mpg123 (1.12.3), which fixes
another reading issue of streams with ICY meta info. More people testing
that feature would be good to ensure that the mpg123 team got it right
now.

2010-06-06 Thread Thomas Orgis
I did updates, then rebooted into the new kernel. Then, I started firefox and 
browsed to the bug report in launchpad, pasted the apport-collect command into 
a terminal... there shouldn't be any trace of the old version by then.
Default browser I did not change.

[Bug 589791] [NEW] apport tries wrong firefox version

2010-06-04 Thread Thomas Orgis
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apport

I was told to run this command for a different bug:

apport-collect -p linux 561301

It tries to run firefox, but, well, not the one I got installed (3.6.3).

$ LANG=C apport-collect -p linux 561301
The authorization page:
   
(https://edge.launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=8FlQ9bNrqqfkNrXxLv14allow_permission=WRITE_PRIVATE)
should be opening in your browser. After you have authorized
this program to access Launchpad on your behalf you should come
back here and press Enter to finish the authentication process.
Error showing url: Failed to execute child process 
/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.2/firefox (No such file or directory)

Simple to fix, I presume. Strange nevertheless.

My system is ubuntu 10.04 amd64, updated today.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  It is tricky to determine if this issue is the same as one reported in
  the several bugs about freezes / black screens, so I'm making a new
  one...
  
  I installed a amd64 ubuntu lucid lynx beta1 system on a box with a Foxconn 
mainboard that features integrated radeon graphics, namely RS690. The system 
has all current updates as of last saturday.
  I notice some things, possible related to the final freeze/crash/whatever:
  
  1. Multiple flickering on startup, sortof in intervals of about a
  second. This includes the plymouth splash screen and the desktop after
  it appeared (automatic login) for some time. Annoying but not fatal as
  such, as it seems to stop, generally (maybe reappears once on certain
  actions, like starting a video player).
  
  2. There is only a VGA connector and there the monitor is connected. The
  radeon driver complains about bad EDID data for the DVI port, multiple
  times. Well, there is no physical DVI port.
  
  3. After some undetermined time of usage, the screen suddenty goes
  black, and I am unable to reach a console. I need to have a second
  computer to get debugging, I guess. The machine is not frozen, but the
  screen is gone.
  
  This persists with a self-built 2.6.33.2-rt13 kernel (since this is
  supposed to be an audio workstation) in the same manner, with the linux-
  rt kernel it was a bit different (for example, I needed to fix the
  resolution in xorg.conf because with that kernel a wrong one is
  detected), I did not spend enough time with it to trigger that black
  screen ... or indeed it does not happen there.
  
- I'll try starting with nomodeset ... then examine if there are still
- options like switching back to XAA (that worked in the past for the
- buggy intel drivers) ... or resort to VESA. I actually have no time to
- debug Xorg issues on that box, but well... do I have a choice? With
- another non-ubuntu system (older Xorg at least, kernel version about the
- same), this never occured. So it might have to do with the recent enable
- of KMS, or acceleration architecture updates.

[Bug 561301] Re: [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk)

2010-06-04 Thread Thomas Orgis
The current ubuntu kernel still flickers around with KMS enabled... the splash 
screen comes very late and flickers.
I didn't wait if a freeze / black screen occurs... need to work now.
Maybe the apport info helps.

2010-05-23 Thread Thomas Orgis
To make it clear: You suggest booting the final release ISO of ubuntu
(29th of april)? I don't see ISOs of a development release.

I cannot promise much in the way of testing things... I am working with
the machine only at certain intervals, and then it's usually more
important to produce something with it. When I come around to test how a
new kernel release works, I'll update the bug report -- in the end,
people report that the 2.6.33 I am running now might not be the best for
firewire audio.

[Bug 105586] Re: mpg123 does not support large files

2010-04-15 Thread Thomas Orgis
Note that mpg123 supports large files since quite some time now... I
just verified that it also writes a WAV file  4G. But there is still a
catch: It doesn't change the WAV format it uses... so for sizes 4G, the
header information will be wrong, since the WAV header only has 4 bytes
for the size field.

You could still have software that works around this, but it might be an
idea to add support for WAV64 or another container format. In any case,
you can always generate raw audio files of any size via the -s switch
(possibly piping towards another program that wraps it into a
container).

[Bug 561301] Re: [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk)

2010-04-14 Thread Thomas Orgis
About my mad monitor EDID ... are you talking about the existing LCD
connected to VGA or the non-existing DVI? The physical monitor shouldn't
be all that bad since it works without pain using an slightly older Xorg
(perhaps about a year or so) without KMS. Should really be the hardware
to blame? I hope it's possible to have the KMS code fixed up to work
like the old code used to work... and also without KMS, Xorg now detects
a sub-optimal mode. This might be due to some well-intended
improvements, probably.

Oh, and a side note: The splash screen business looks rather pointless in the 
current setup... after the boot manager menu, there is a delay where nothing 
happens visually and just a cursor on the top left of a black screen is 
shown... disk starts clattering in the background... at some time, the ubuntu 
splash screen comes up, but is replaced by the actual desktop very quickly.
Same for shutdown ... it takes some moments to kill the desktop... and then the 
machine is off after very briefly offering a glimpse on the splash screen. So, 
some stuff is perhaps too fast (the actual work) ... though I am not sure what 
the delay at the beginning is about (should re-test with stock kernel and 
initrd... but I think it was the same there). But then... this is off-topic, 
just on my mind because of the flickering also hurting the perceived smoothness 
of the bootup.

[Bug 562866] [NEW] too few buttons offered in the dropdown for wheel emulation

2010-04-14 Thread Thomas Orgis
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gpointing-device-settings

I have a Logitech TrackMan Marble FX ... a trackball with 4 buttons.
They are mapped to 1,2,3 ... and 8 by default. Button 8 is the one I
usually use for wheel emulation. This works with xinput or in past times
via HAL fdi file... but the GUI of gpointing-device-settings only offers
up to button 7, which is a bit frustrating. Besides the question of
offering a plain field for manually entering the button number instead
of a possibly wrong list for selection (or fixing the list)... what
about a simple feature of press the button you'd like to use and
detecting the event?

[Bug 561288] [NEW] linux-rt being based on 2.6.31 seems to cause breakage with lucid

2010-04-12 Thread Thomas Orgis
Public bug reported:

I noticed that the RT kernel for lucid is based off version 2.6.31, compared to 
2.6.32 for the stock ubuntu kernel. It is my suspicion that this is the reason 
for certain things not working. Most prominent: Network manager does not work.
After switching from a base install of lucid beta1 on amd64 to the linux-rt 
kernel, the nm-applet vanished, and when bringing it back, it did not show my 
3G USB modem (or any network device, AFAIR), although the kernel recognized it 
and I was able to dial up using wvdial.

Another issue is wrong detection of the resolution for Xorg ... I have
an old 15in XGA TFT connected to VGA, the linux-rt kernel prompted Xorg
to try to run with 1366x768 instead of 1024x768. I had to fix this using
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (luckily, _some_ parts of this file are not ignored
yet).

I built an own kernel using make-kpkg, for Opteron/Athlon64 only
(http://thomas.orgis.org/ubuntu/linux-
image-2.6.33.2-rt13-thorubuntu_2_amd64.deb), starting with vanilla
2.6.33.2-rt13 and off the stock ubuntu kernel config. I had to disable
the staging drivers, though, as not all of them build with the RT patch.
Using this kernel, everything works as with the stock ubuntu kernel. It
is even bug-compatible as in my integrated Radeon graphics (RS690) dying
after some time, leaving me staring at a black screen. That is a rather
serious showstopper issue, but no regression from the stock ubuntu
kernel.

[Bug 561301] [NEW] [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid

2010-04-12 Thread Thomas Orgis
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

It is tricky to determine if this issue is the same as one reported in
the several bugs about freezes / black screens, so I'm making a new
one...

I installed a amd64 ubuntu lucid lynx beta1 system on a box with a Foxconn 
mainboard that features integrated radeon graphics, namely RS690. The system 
has all current updates as of last saturday.
I notice some things, possible related to the final freeze/crash/whatever:

1. Multiple flickering on startup, sortof in intervals of about a
second. This includes the plymouth splash screen and the desktop after
it appeared (automatic login) for some time. Annoying but not fatal as
such, as it seems to stop, generally (maybe reappears once on certain
actions, like starting a video player).

2. There is only a VGA connector and there the monitor is connected. The
radeon driver complains about bad EDID data for the DVI port, multiple
times. Well, there is no physical DVI port.

3. After some undetermined time of usage, the screen suddenty goes
black, and I am unable to reach a console. I need to have a second
computer to get debugging, I guess. The machine is not frozen, but the
screen is gone.

This persists with a self-built 2.6.33.2-rt13 kernel (since this is
supposed to be an audio workstation) in the same manner, with the linux-
rt kernel it was a bit different (for example, I needed to fix the
resolution in xorg.conf because with that kernel a wrong one is
detected), I did not spend enough time with it to trigger that black
screen ... or indeed it does not happen there.

I'll try starting with nomodeset ... then examine if there are still
options like switching back to XAA (that worked in the past for the
buggy intel drivers) ... or resort to VESA. I actually have no time to
debug Xorg issues on that box, but well... do I have a choice? With
another non-ubuntu system (older Xorg at least, kernel version about the
same), this never occured. So it might have to do with the recent enable
of KMS, or acceleration architecture updates.

[Bug 561018] Re: software center allows removal of essential and required without extra prompt

2010-04-12 Thread Thomas Orgis
I am wondering: The main issue is that it left the system in a unreparable 
state (out of itself) ... so essential packages should be protected. But, is 
it generally desired behaviour to silently delete dependent packages? Would a 
message with This would remove these apps, you really want it? not be a good 
idea, generally?
But then, I might miss the supposed difference the Software Center should have 
compared to synaptic.

[Bug 561301] Re: [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid

2010-04-12 Thread Thomas Orgis
nomodeset kernel option does nothing (at least on my kernel build), but 
radeon.modeset=0 does help. Worked an evening on the box with disabled 
modesetting now and didn't see a freeze/crash.
Only the mode detection is suboptimal... I have seen that in comparison to 
another Linux system I have on that box.. the image looked more crisp, less 
smearing on the LCD (that also covers the mode set using kernel modesetting). 
After manually fixing ip some tuned mode with slightly increased refresh rate 
(not 59.9 but rather 61 Hz or so) this is improved.

Main message: DIsabling kernel modesetting for RS690 _seems_ to be a
good idea so far.

[Bug 561288] Re: linux-rt being based on 2.6.31 seems to cause breakage with lucid

2010-04-12 Thread Thomas Orgis
OK, I have to revert the message about network manager... Today it also
failed on me with the 2.6.33-based kernel.

I found out that it's not a fault of nm-applet (it is irritating that it
just does not show up when there is trouble) ... but rather sometimes
the network manager daemon seems to be ill. On some boots it is not
properly present.

service network-manager restart

usually helps to bring the nm-applet icon back and also restores
functionality. It is generally frustrating that the system is not very
verbose about whatever bothers it... nm-applet should draw an icon and
tell me Network Manager is there but does not talk to me. When started
from terminal, it prints something about missing dbus service...

Shall I make a separate bug report on that? Or should this one here get
tagged for network-manager? Concerning the linux-rt kernel, at least the
point about default graphics being messed up still applies. But the
network-manager thing is apparently not specific to the kernel version.

[Bug 561018] [NEW] software center destroys system without warning

2010-04-11 Thread Thomas Orgis
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

This is an excerpt out of https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
studio-users/2010-April/006109.html  (trying to get ubuntu (plus studio
packages) lucid running)... so sorry for the prose, I had a hard night
then. The information bits in it should still be important:

quote
Now... the crashing plymouth kept nagging me (would a system update really fix 
this now? -- I need to see if my next visit at the box is long enough for the 
downloads). It's main function seems to be nagging (and irritate newbies), so I 
decided to rip plymouth out. Due to a dangerous fling, I clicked on the 
Software Center menu entry.
Searched for plymouth ... removed the daemon... seen that there still is a 
package for plymouth shared libs... wondered how much stuff might depend on 
it... figured that one will get warnings about removing dependent stuff (like 
synaptic does it)... deleted it.
B-O-O-M! X11 is killed ... I manage to activate a plain console ... and see 
that I unwittingly entered a major system fubar.
Tried to restart gdm ... there is no gdm ... tried to look after the binary... 
there is no /bin/ls! Wow. There even is no halt, reboot or shutdown. This 
system is really ripped apart for good.

This is something one really would like to avoid happening to new users, old 
users ... anyone. This Software Center thingie is supposed to be the 
bubbly-touchy-feely admin interface for Linux newbies / notcarealots, right? I 
consider it a serious bug that it hoses the whole install beyond repair for any 
average ubuntu user (well, except for reinstall). Is this something known? 
Shall I make a flaming report on launchpad?
/quote?

I don't think the system information is very important here (I'm on a
different box now and on the box I have a new install of ubuntu). It
should be easily reproducible by installing ubuntu lucid beta1 from the
CD image on amd64 and trying to remove plymouth shared libs in software
center. It should try to stop me at least once before accidentally
hosing the whole system.

[Bug 278176] Re: disk detection is real slow with some hardware (timout shell drops)

2010-04-10 Thread Thomas Orgis
Just want to chime in to confirm what has been said so far. I experienced this 
some ubuntu releases ago (8.04, perhaps) with my Adaptec 39160. Fails to find 
root, big rootdelay helps.
I initially blamed this on ubuntu because my self-built kernels did not feature 
this. I always built the scsi driver into the kernel and also used 
root=/dev/sda2 instead of root=UUID=... .

Just recently I observed that the issue vanishes when replacing the 
dual-channel 39160 with a single-channel 29160 (I only used on channel anyway). 
So, is there some confusion with the initial scanning of two SCSI channels?
Perhaps the kernel reports that it's done only after one channel? But then, it 
apparently works when the driver is built into the kernel.
