[Bug 1489530] Re: Kubuntu installer fails when mounted parts, does not restart

2018-04-05 Thread xennex82
I cannot currently test this as quickly.

However since this was true for 15.10, and 16.04 is still supported, and
this bug has not been triaged in the meantime, I can only assume that it
is still going to be true, since not many things appear to have changed
in the installer since then.

(I also don't particularly consider it a good waste of time to re-
evaluate bugs that are only automatically flagged as incomplete, with
the good chance that they still won't be triaged further down the line).

(But that's just me, and YMMV.)

[Bug 1569438] Re: Doom crashes on title screen with error DRC64:Unhandled memory reference

2018-01-14 Thread xennex82
Changing the value for core to "simple" is not a workaround because it
renders the performance non-functional.

It got fixed in Debian in version 0.74-4-3, which means that this
package has been broken in Ubuntu for a year and a half, or three
consecutive releases.

It first made its appearance in Bionic which is as of yet unreleased,
but the Bionic version immediately fixes the performance issues (and
otherwise crashes) and is installable without any extra dependencies on
Yakkety, Zesty and Artful.

You can download it here:

[Bug 1740319] [NEW] Dosbox should be 32-bit version on 64-bit

2017-12-27 Thread xennex82
Public bug reported:

16-bit DOS games are unplayable in the 64-bit version of Dosbox.

GoG.com games come with a 32-bit version of Dosbox, and this runs
excellently.

On Ubuntu, the 32-bit version also runs excellently. The 64-bit version
lags immensely and makes games unplayable.

Dosbox and its associated libraries should be made available on 32-bit
always and be excempt of the no-packaging-32-bit in the future to begin
with.

The 64-bit version should really be removed from the repos and 32-bit
Dosbox packaged as the 64-bit version, with accompanying libraries, just
like libc6-i386 is factually a 64-bit package (amd64).

[Bug 80900] Re: Avahi daemon prevents resolution of FQDNs ending in ".local" due to false negatives in the detection of ".local" networks

2017-12-22 Thread xennex82
I guess I am wrong about the "upstream security hole" thing. But I don't
know why you would use mDNS for serious security anyway.

mdns_minimal already causes a 4-second fallthrough (if AVAHI is disabled
at least).

So Lennart is ranting and screaming only about the [NOTFOUND=return]
line?

As if he decides what NSS does. His is a plugin. A plugin is a peer to
other plugins; not one plugin is more important than the others;

the plugin is just that, the configuration is up to the end user (or the
bigger system).

He acts as if /etc/nsswitch.conf now belongs to his package.

His PulseAudio also configures itself in the same way as authorative
with ALSA. Same idea, repeats itself.

  "If PulseAudio module is loaded, set it to be the ALSA default
device".

  What?

  What if some other module wanted to do the same?

So NSS is to Lennart just an annoyance, an archaic system that doesn't
make him the most important person in the world and then he starts
saying "fuck yous" to get his way.

He wanted his package to be orphaned and renamed, as if he holds a
trademark to "mdns".

As if he holds a trademark to "libnss".

Nothing about that is "Lennart".

That's the least trade-markable name in the history of trademarkable
names.

And then he starts ranting "You don't give a fuck about people and you
think it's about you".

But everything is always about Lennart.

What Lennart wants.

What Lennart decides.

What Lennart says is best.

Quite remarkable that you can think "libnss-mdns" is somehow a
trademarkable name.

[Bug 80900] Re: Avahi daemon prevents resolution of FQDNs ending in ".local" due to false negatives in the detection of ".local" networks

2017-12-22 Thread xennex82
Apple, whose OS X Yosemite (10.10) will not even resolve DNS when
internet is down ("private networks don't exist"), simply chose the
wrong name for something that is basically only used by machines.

Their ".local" is not meant for manual use.

They could just as easily have called it ".mdns" or something -- OS X
will by default not show it anyway I'm sure.

So they have claimed something they were not entitled to and their
broken model of network computing is now the foundation of how to do
things?

  * The local DNS server timeout issue is not really an issue; if you
didn't want that you shouldn't have chosen .local for mdns.

  * .local leakage is no different from .home leakage and in this case
can be prevented

  * redirecting local services would require upstream malicious .local
to be configured in DNS servers but is directly at odds with the
situation in which a _local_ .local DNS server is configured, so can
also be solved by only allowing .local to get out if there IS a local
.local DNS server

  * The only real argument that remains is name resolution; automatic
changing of host names in cast of conflicts. RFC 6762 notes that

"Implementers MAY choose to look up such names concurrently via other
   mechanisms (e.g., Unicast DNS) and coalesce the results in some
   fashion.  Implementers choosing to do this should be aware of the
   potential for user confusion when a given name can produce different
   results depending on external network conditions (such as, but not
   limited to, which name lookup mechanism responds faster)."

Lennart likes to scream about people not listening to the designers; but
what does he do?

The typical use case of a merged system is when DHCP provides DNS through 
supplied
hostnames, there is no resolution in that sense, at least no standard one.

The DHCP set would remain unchanged (and unresolved) while the mDNS set, 
oblivious
to anything happening in unicast DNS, would produce different names where 
some of them
would change, adding new ones to the total set. Those new names would only 
be resolvable
through mDNS. Unless you were talking about a huge network (why would you 
use multicast
in such a system?) the actual prevalence of such conflicts and confusion 
must be considered
low.

I think it can be argued that discovery is a much more important aspect of 
mDNS than
resolution because most hardware devices pick MAC-based names and most 
operating systems
also pick randomized names by default.

Anything else reeks of configuration, and if you configure, you are
not in zeroconf.

So there aren't really any reasons that are deal-breaking, and those that 
exist are caused
by mDNS' insistence to use for its automated system a human-meaningful name 
such as .local,
which is a design flaw.

[Bug 1024475] Re: libnss-ldap causes boot hang on 12.04 precise, 14.04 trusty, 16.04 xenial

2017-12-22 Thread xennex82
I just submitted

#1739833

The postinst script for libnss-ldap invokes "invoke-rc.d" but invoke-
rc.d will not do anything unless the Default-Start runlevel of
/etc/init.d/libnss-ldap contains runlevel 5.

Because /etc/init.d/libnss-ldap comes without any default runlevels, the
action does nothing and the service is not started, causing the service
to also not be stopped, and nssldap-update-ignoreusers to not be run on
reboot.

This in turn prevents the system users from being added to the ignore
list which then causes the boot to fail because it tries to source them
from LDAP.

This is probably of particular relevance to groups, but I don't
remember, this is long ago for me.

(And it still hasn't been fixed, even though I have been sending emails
about this too to devel-discuss).

The ostensibly newer package libnss-ldapd contains the option "ALLLOCAL"
which generates this "exclusion list" automatically on boot.

[Bug 1739833] [NEW] libnss-ldap default runlevels cause invoke-rc.d to fail

2017-12-22 Thread xennex82
Public bug reported:

During postinst invoke-rc.d libnss-ldap start is run.

libnss-ldap comes without any Default-Start levels

On line 390 of invoke-rc.d:

Therefore, the (now generated) systemd service is not started.

This causes it to not execute its "Stop" action during shutdown, causing
the system to fail booting because nssldap-update-ignoreusers is not
run.

[Bug 855019] Re: Automatically redirected .local domain cannot be reached

2017-12-20 Thread xennex82
This is probably created by the mdns_minimal plugin in /etc/resolv.conf

The situation is that the developers of multi-cast DNS on Linux thought
they needed to claim .local for multi-cast DNS and hence won't allow any
"normal" lookups as your hotel is doing.

Or asking your laptop to do.

If you go to /etc/resolv.conf (this is long ago I know, but I guess you
could still be subscribed and might never have found the answer), you
will see

  hosts   files  mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

or something similar.

The [NOTFOUND=return] is the culprit, because it is the "dns" module
that would successfully have found the login page.

It happened again on an install of 16.04.3.

Ubiquity leaves behind no installer log on the installed system so again
I do not have any sorry.

I would have to reinstall somewhere sometime and ensure that grub fails.
In principle that's easy enough.

[Bug 728525] Re: benchmark window is not descriptive enough

2016-11-06 Thread xennex82
I have no clue, or I had no clue whether it was destructive or not. I
still don't know.

Actually it seems to have just wiped my partition table.

There was a GPT partition table on there and  it is gone.

It tells you to back up your data but that is a warning given by many
programs that are not destructive in the slightest (except if you mess
up).

So why doesn't it just tell you it will destroy stuff? It might just as
well write and then write back the original data, or actually write the
original data in the first place, we can't tell.

[Bug 392204] Re: Huge CPU usage by mount.ntfs process

2016-10-02 Thread xennex82
Still true today. Copying about 180 MB of smaller files (pictures) to a
NTFS partition (filesystem) inside TrueCrypt. It took 20 minutes. I
partition the same mapped device -- format it -- to exFAT, and it takes
26 seconds.

So it took 26 seconds to write that same data at 7.2 MB/s and it took 20
minutes to write the same data at 160 kB/s.

Just incredible. Just incredible for something that has been around for
so long.

Not eating their own dog-food, I guess.

[Bug 351378] Re: dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases)

2016-09-26 Thread xennex82
Can confirm that it is still in Debian stable as of 2016. Cannot test
Ubuntu now. Installing udhcpc and uninstalling isc-dhcp-client does the
trick. No need to put any package on hold. At least, when you are still
using /etc/network/interfaces. I have not tested network-manager or
anything else. If you only have one DHCP address (or even multiple? I
cannot test) giving hostname and client is not necessary in
/etc/network/interfaces.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607687

Yes, as you full well know by now (from the other bug ;-)) (because I am
the same person) (but for clarity on this bug report): Indeed grub-
install from the regular grub failed and I had to use my own grub
version to get it to boot.

But the peculiar thing is that I remember this also to be the case for
the running LIVE version of Kubuntu while using that live version; ie.
installed packages (in this case, only cifs-utils) also had their files
missing in the LIVE session.

I can't say more now, see ya.

[Bug 1607687] Re: various packages show as installed, but files are not present

2016-08-31 Thread xennex82
I never imagined that it could be this.

On both Installs I used a custom setup in which I had my system directly
on disk in a PV which means I had to manually install Grub using a
patched Grub. I believe the installer does not allow to not install
Grub, so I direct it at /dev/sda (for instance) and it will fail using
the regular grub, of course.

I mean that the regular grub will fail. Then I install grub manually.

So yes, you are right on the money here. I have no installer log anymore
(?). But I think it should be clear enough already :).

Well, perhaps not. But. Oh wait, it's on another /var Not there
either. I will have to redo the install some time to find out. Other
system Also nothing, I assume it gets wiped? Maybe it never gets
created.

The regular Grub will produce this error message on my system:

/usr/sbin/grub-install: error: disk `lvmid/bn8p8J-Wr6M-Qzel-E0t8-8yOV-
PbQN-TgKc6P/3Xl0mm-8loM-TcZ2-7pki-oF2S-MSEt-oBcPGT' not found.

Which is a bit weird, I thought it would bug out on /dev/sda. But
anyway, regular patched grub will say:

Installation finished. No error reported.

That's currently a git version (from Savannah) but the same for the
Supplied Ubuntu version. Anyway, that's irrelevant.

I indeed have a failing grub at install ;-). Regards.

[Bug 1593398] Re: cifs-utils corrupt (Kubuntu 16.04)

2016-08-09 Thread xennex82
Reproduced it on another Kubuntu 16.04 install.

Trying to mount an fstab-mentioned share as mentioned before; not using
ip= or passwd=

This is the output in dmesg:

[25771.049320] FS-Cache: Netfs 'cifs' registered for caching
[25771.049481] Key type cifs.spnego registered
[25771.049497] Key type cifs.idmap registered
[25771.049954] Unable to determine destination address.

After reinstall: apt install --reinstall cifs-utils.

No dmesg output, the mount just succeeds.

The mount output had exited my buffer, So I copied it from
stackexchange:

"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on xxx.xxx.x.x:/share, 
missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems 
(e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program)  
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so."

That question also has people reporting the same thing:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/525243/why-do-i-get-wrong-fs-type-bad-
option-bad-superblock-error

One person mentions:

I had to reinstall cifs-utils on my system for some reason, it said it
was installed, but the file at /sbin/mount.cifs was missing. (May 25)

I hope this is enough now.

Regards.

[Bug 1608522] [NEW] ntfs-clone and bzip2 parallel don't work

2016-08-01 Thread xennex82
Public bug reported:

Just reporting that of the installable 16.04 clonezilla package,

both the ntfs-clone mode and the b2p modes don't work. ntfs-clone
refuses to get started, and b2p will not give an indication but the
thing will just fail. Bzip2 is installed so that can't be it, I think it
is automatically installed.

That's all I can say. Gzip-parallel works and the other clone commands
also work. As far as I can see. So then what remains is xz but they
don't have parallel (shame on them).

Regards.

Basically it is the same thing I have experienced with the Kubuntu 16.04
"cifs-utils" package; files were missing; or must have been missing.
Upon first install, and (back then) upon load of the live DVD.

There have been no actions on my system that could have wiped out the
files of those packages (in isolation of anything else). Most other
things just work and I have not had complaints of any other missing
files, save for this one and cifs-utils, apparently. I will likely soon
need to reinstall Kubuntu, so I can check the Live DVD for that. (A
VirtualBox image of course would equally be possible). But I will wait
with further investigation myself until I have booted that Live DVD.

[Bug 1593398] Re: cifs-utils corrupt

2016-07-12 Thread xennex82
I experienced it both on the Kubuntu installer and on the Kubuntu
installed system.

On that fresh install / live Session I used:

mount -t cifs //host/share /mnt -o username=xen and it would complain
about not having enough parameters. It wanted to have both password and
ipaddress on the command line.

After doing apt reinstall cifs-utils (or equivalent) the command
succeeded as normal, and it asked me for the password on a prompt.

[Bug 1593398] [NEW] cifs-utils corrupt

2016-06-16 Thread xennex82
Public bug reported:

This isn't really a bug against ubiquity.

It's just that on installs of Kubuntu 16.04, the package "cifs-utils" IS
installed but it is borked.

MAYBE I AM MISTAKEN AND IT IS JUST A VERSION DIFFERENCE.

But after reinstalling, mount -t cifs works as normal, but before
reinstalling, it requires full parameters.

ie. after reinstall, it is sufficient to type : mount //host/share /mnt
-t cifs -o username=bla

before, it requires: IP, and password on options line. So although I
cannot check now; it seems that there were files missing from that
package that ought to be installed.

[Bug 1489530] [NEW] Kubuntu installer fails when mounted parts, does not restart

2015-08-27 Thread xennex82
Public bug reported:

When, from the Live CD you have mounted partitions resulting from manual
operation prior to initiating the install (of Kubuntu) the installer
will ask whether to unmount, or to continue after you have fixed the
issue of mounted partitions.

However, after you've unmounted the partition(s) and click continue, the
installer will hang. Recently, today, it hung on "Discovering
filesystems" or something of the kind -- the first step in the
background installation.

This has been true for 14.10 as well, it is a long-standing problem.
After you have then closed the installer, it will not run again. It will
not start up again.

Killing /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity kde_ui will
solve the problem of the installer not reappearing.

I'm not attaching partman as I feel my system is personal and private.
Equal for syslog. It is easy to reproduce this.


The configuration uses LUKS and an LVM inside the LUKS partition, with a 
separate /boot on a primary partition (or currently, inside the extended 
partition. I don't think there is anything special about the system, that might 
just be me. But I have had it more often, because I always do manual 
partitioning with my own LUKS. I always run into this problem when I forget to 
unmount before starting the installation (but after fixing all the mount 
points).

[Bug 845914] Re: Failsafe boot delay causes a real delay on every boot

2015-05-11 Thread xennex82
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 847782 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/847782

Introducing any kind of script to /etc/network/if-up.d/ that exits with
error for eth0 (or in any case static interfaces?) will cause this
script to fail, ie. introduce the 120 sec boot delay.

I think it is really bad behavior to consider static network up a must
for booting. Static services would already have executed (or tried to
execute) from /etc/network/if-up.d/ and they failed if they came after
the failing script.

In other words run-parts is executed with the fail-on-fail option (the
default).

Should network fail really cause a boot delay?

Public bug reported:

The python script (and graphical interface) will hang when dpkg
--configure (most likely, I was running dpkg --configure -a afterward)
starts asking questions on how to proceed with changed config files.
When there are a number of files that need to be updated, and the user
has edited or changed some of them, even just a single one can cause the
installer to completely hang. The button "Show Terminal" is or becomes
unresponsive.

After doing manual dpkg --configure -a, and rerunning the upgrader, it
will say

"Could not run the upgrade tool." (window title) --> "Could not run the

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

But this is obviously after the upgrade. The system prior to upgrade was
a regular 14.10 with a few minor tweaks.

There is another error that popped up, it may be coming from muon-
upgrader or that python thing at the same time as the other error
(dialog) (popup) and that is that "Verifying the upgrade failed. There
may be a problem with the network or with the server."

(It appears as though after the dpkg --configure -a, my install is
complete, ie. I have upgraded to Vivid. I have not rebooted yet though.)
