RE: ubuntu-bug (was Bug reporting for Ubuntu Server? WTF?)
Even if you have X, another problem is that ubuntu-bug and apport ignore the $(HTTP_PROXY|http_proxy) variable, so it becomes very difficult to file bugs from work if you're behind a non-transparent proxy. -Original Message- From: ubuntu-devel-discuss-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-devel-discuss-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Goetz Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 1:00 PM To: ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: ubuntu-bug (was Bug reporting for Ubuntu Server?

From: Brian Murray br...@ubuntu.com Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:49:58 -0800 The ReportingBugs wiki page also has a section about Filing bugs when off-line which discusses how to use apport-cli to save a report that you can then report from another system with X and a browser. ... If you were to use the off-line filing method a web browser would be opened where you could then provide feedback as to what you are sending. Thanks for the tip.

Subject: Re: Bug reporting for Ubuntu Server? WTF? From: Mario Vukelic mario.vuke...@dantian.org Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:01:26 +0100 I think the problem is that ubuntu-bug excepts you to know that additional steps (duplication search, etc.) including a comment input field will follow in a browser window after you press the Send button. With the current UI I can understand if someone comes to the conclusion, like the OP, that the report will be simply sent without his input. Exactly! I had no idea that ubuntu-bug planned to open a browser window to allow me to add comments, and had no intention of sending a bug report which I knew contained no useful information. Perhaps ubuntu-bug could be simply improved by having the program check for the presence of a DISPLAY variable, and if not found, provide an alternative user interface that either allows you identify a file with comments on the command line or instructs you specifically to keep the report file and send it from graphical console? Posted below is an entire terminal ubuntu-bug session -- surely I'm not the only one who finds this to be confusing.

RE: gmonstart / jvregisterclasses in tons of binaries with commands, malware?
Not sure what precisely those strings are from, but I can tell you right now what they ARE (along with the lists of commands) after looking at /bin/ps That's the function table for the binary. The @ sign you're seeing is actually represented as ^@ (one character, not two) - it's a null character (invisible to the naked eye in ASCII if it wasn't represented somehow. ^@ is the common way to do it). In most programming languages, a null character is used to mark the end of a string. In this case, the end of a function name. Having a readable representation of the function table is important for debugging (among other things). It means instead of having a backtrace that says Function 0x08c4 returned 3 you can see atoi returned 3. -Original Message- From: ubuntu-devel-discuss-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu- devel-discuss-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of whereislibertyandjust...@safe-mail.net Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 5:41 PM To: ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: gmonstart / jvregisterclasses in tons of binaries with commands,malware? In linux binaries, in any linux distro, I've discovered the same strings which I believe may be due to a virus or trojan. Yet, clamav, rkhunter, chkrootkit do not detect abnormalities. Whether I run 'strings' on the binary files or view with vim or gedit, here is what is always seen inside the binaries: __gmon_start__ _Jv_RegisterClasses Followed by commands which differ within each binary. If, by some luck, I've downloaded a fresh Linux ISO where binaries do not include the above two strings followed by commands, after I run an update the updated binaries suddenly contain the above two strings and other, what I believe to be, rogue strings. I've avoided the possible infection with an OpenBSD install, yet all the Linux installations and burned ISOs contain binaries with the above two strings followed by commands. Search using find within your bin and sbin directories for those two strings and see how many positives you find. Now use a text editor like vi or gedit and search through the gibberish, locate these strings and isolate the commands, if any, which follow them. Searching for gmonstart, gmon, registerclasses, jv, etc. variations of works. If you find results in your binaries, please copy/paste the commands following the gmonstart and jvregisterclasses strings so I may compare them to mine. I've purchased Linux CDs from brick + mortar stores, downloaded ISOs from different physical locations and found some CDs contained these strings in the binaries and one or two rare ones did not, but when installed/updated on a network connection the binaries replaced in the update process would show these strings!! These strings are not alone by themselves in the binaries they follow with commands with a @ mark before each command. Google results are vague, some suggest shell backdoors, every Linux user I've asked to date calls me paranoid while at the same time this knowledge comes as a surprise to them, too, when they search their binaries and find the same strings. I'm amazed by how quickly some rush to judgement and call you a paranoid for being curious about the files on your system. The strings may/may not be common, but in comparing commands which follow these strings I've noticed some which seem down right malicious! Maybe they're right, I'm just paranoid, but what am I seeing and why are these strings so common across Linux distros binaries, esp. the Jv (java?) reference?

Also, I don't know where else to put this up for general perusal where the people who count (Ubuntu devs) will actually see it. I could LJ it, but you'd have to be a sad puppy to be reading my LJ (http://fluffynuts.livejournal.com). So here it goes: In approximately 10 years of Debian/Ubuntu usage (I switched to Ubuntu in the Warty days), I have *never* had the displeasure of such a broken upgrade process as I've just had, moving from 9.04 to 9.10. I've experienced such brokenness from Fedora (but hey, that *is* the testing-ground for RH, so you take your chances to start with, imo). Here's a short list of some glaringly obvious problems that even the most incompetant QA should have picked up (which, by the way, are being experienced by not only myself with the heaps of packages I have installed from the Ubuntu repos, but also by a colleague at work who started with a fairly standard 9.04 install just the other day.Please bear in mind that I have *very little* installed from anywhere other than archive.ubuntu.com -- I think I have 2 ppa's for tor and rvm. So my machine, whilst bloated with GNOME, KDE and XFCE components, is using mostly off-the-shelf components): 1) libc6 upgrade requires the restart of gdm. Which in turn requires the termination of the X11 server. Which, in turn, requires that the upgrade process proceeds in a never-ending loop as the actual installation of libc6 doesn't complete properly. Not a problem for a vet with some experience -- a big problem for the average joe that Ubuntu is normally so well- suited for. Whilst I can switch to a VT and use apt, I don't have the confidence that the average user out there could, although they would have been presented with the same upgrade now? question by update-manager 2) When I finally got the process started, there were several (read 10+) rounds of the following: apt-get dist-upgrade [apt breaks because of package dependencies or other issues, such as the config script for a package failing] apt-get install -f [lather, rinse, repeat] again, not that great for Joe user. Not that great for me either. But at least I can attempt to fix it and remove conflicting and horribly broken packages. I have several bug reports on Launchpad. I got tired of posting them all when I got to about the 10th one. Generally, the issues were often of the format: upgrade of package [Y] requires installation of new package [Y- funkyname], but old [Y] wasn't removed first, so the installation of [Y- funkyname] fails because of a package file conflict. Indi comes to mind here. OR bad installation scripts which cannot be run more than once (say, when the package fails to install the first time). Wicd shines here, trying to add my user to the net-dev group repeatedly and failing because I'm already in that group from the first time it partially installed. 3) The kicker: after spending a couple of hours on this, I managed to get my machine to a state where apt claimed that I had no more updates available. So I figured it was time for the inevitable reboot. Except... GRUB is broken. Can't boot. Showstopper. I've tried fixing with a 64-bit Debian DVD (sorry, I didn't have the 9.10 install CD down yet -- it was coming down for me to share with friends when all hell broke loose during my upgrade). When trying to fix from with a chrooted shell on the problematic system, grub-install consistently fails with an error that it has an error reading the stage1 file (which exists and I've seen it unpacked from a re- install of the package .deb using dpkg in a chrooted shell, so please, don't tell me that I personally have a problem with the file -- I would be surprised if this isn't happening a lot more (and may well be because of changes from the old GRUB to GRUB2 -- but again, a simple QA process *should* have caught this).

RE: Proposal: reduce base font size from 10pt to 9pt for Karmic Koala release
Conn said: - Fonts currently look over-sized on the default configuration (96dpi, 10pt, subpixel smoothing slight hinting) This is the problem I believe. Why is the default always 96dpi instead of the correct information from the EDID? $ xdpyinfo | grep -e \(resolution\|dimensions\) dimensions:1680x1050 pixels (474x303 millimeters) resolution:90x88 dots per inch If we're not using the proper resolution info, the font sizes won't be consistent between monitors. I know this isn't the way Windows does it, but that's because Windows' font handling has always been broken, and will probably always continue to be broken. But back to a world where computers do logical things at all times, points are (supposed to be) a measure of the physical size of a displayed typeface (1 pt = 1/72.27 inch [TeX point] or 1/72 inch [PostScript point]), and thus in electronic form are necessarily based on the physical resolution of the medium. If I have two monitors next to each other, and one is 640x480 while the other is 1600x1200, a 10 point capital-M rendered on each in the same typeface should take up an equal amount of arc space to an eyeball equidistant from each monitor regardless of the physical dimensions of the monitors themselves. I'm pretty sure this used to happen correctly without having to tweak anything, but I'm a little long in the tooth and my memory for dates sucks - that may have been in the days of XFree86 when FreeType2 first came out. Also, the default smoothing and hinting is supposed to be different based on whether you're connected to a CRT or an LCD - I'm pretty sure Ubuntu does do this. If you connect to a CRT you'll see grayscale smoothing, full hinting (or best contrast, I forget which). LCDs look better with subpixel smoothing, although I usually set the hinting to best contrast anyway though. :) But I can't test that changing hinting styles changes apparent font size (it is supposed to, but very minimally for most [i.e. written to spec] typefaces), as gnome-appearance-properties has been broken for me since very early in the Karmic dev cycle. -Ethan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
