Bug#340609: re

2005-11-26 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

after grepping for mnt2 in the source I guess you mean the MNTPOINT-variable 
in fai.conf ?! (Which is used for nfs-mounting a debian-mirror during 
installation on the client.)

I agree that this directory is not fancy, but I doubt it's really serious, as 
it's only during installation. d-i uses /target during installation, which 
(without looking) also seems like a FHS violation...

As stated in #309554 I would propose to use /var/lib/fai (or /srv if policy 
allows it) for fai's directories on the client, so I would 
propose /var/lib/fai/debian-mirror here (or /srv/fai/debian-mirror). IMO a 
mirror is not a (real) medium, so IMO /media does not fit.

Which leaves the question open, where to mount a debian-mirror on a installed 
system... IMO this is out of scope for this bug and should not be dealt with 
(now + here).

In any case I propose to downgrade the severity to normal. (normal, not 
important, as the MNTPOINT only resides in $NFSROOT.)


regards,
Holger

Bug#340608: fai: nfsroot should not be in /usr

2005-11-26 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

I have some remarks to this bug. First, I think it can be merged with #309554, 
which severity should be raised at least to important... 

(But) #309554 deals with both the FAI_CONFIGDIR (currently defaults  
to /usr/local/share/fai) and NFSROOT (defaults to /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot) - 
both variables are set in /etc/fai/fai.conf resp. fai-nfsroot.conf.

As I've said in #309554 I strongly believe /srv/ should be used for both. I 
like to add now, that IMO - if /srv is a policy violation at the moment 
(vorlon, what is your statement/guess regarding FHS 2.3 and etch ?) - this 
should be changed to /var/lib/fai and changed again later. Thomas, I really 
dont think (anymore) that it's a good idea to keep important bugs open for 2 
years, just because you don't want to change it twice.

My rationale for not having NFSROOT in /usr is that it is supposed to be 
changed during normal operation (creating, upgrading, adding packages to it) 
- quoting file:/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/fhs/fhs.html/fhs-4.html : Any 
information that is host-specific or _varies_with_time_ is stored 
elsewhere. (Emphasis mine.)

On Friday 25 November 2005 17:10, Stephen Gran wrote:
 So long as the files aren't shipped in the .deb, and only put in /srv
 when an admin runs the tool, then I think that is exactly the place for
 them to go.  My only worry was that fai-setup was being invoked
 automatically, or that the files were being proposed to be shipped in
 the .deb.  Both of those scenarios would be wrong.

Well, the upcoming fai-quickstart packages postinst copies the simple examples 
to FAI_CONFIGDIR...

Currently there is not code in trunk  (for the quickstart package) to setup 
the nfsroot, but we want this, too.

I do find nothing in 
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM
which says its only up to the local admin to populate /srv, it only says, no 
program should rely on a specific structure in it. Which fai doesnt do, as 
it's configurable thru variables.


Summary what I think should be done:
- raise #309554 to serious 
- raise #340608 to serious again
- merge #309554 and #340608
- change default setting of NFSROOT to /var/lib/fai/nfsroot, maybe 
even /var/lib/fai/nfsroot/$ARCH
- change default setting of FAI_CONFIGDIR to /var/lib/fai/config
- close the bug
- when FHS 2.3 is required by policy, change those paths to /srv

package will happen soon but will provide a fix in fai-kernels nonetheless.

I was somehow of the wrong impression, that linux-source-2.6.14 has had

fai-kernels.


 Thanks for considering.

Thanks for reporting :) At the moment I'm setting up pbuilder :-) and I will 
provide a fixed package soon. (And with some minor other fixes/enhancements.)

Bug#337619: rebuilding ipw2200 on 2.6.14-3

2005-11-28 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

I cannot confirm this (What DID work was).

With linux-source-2.6.14-3 I had to disable the ipw2200-driver and the 
ieee80211-subsystem, build the kernel, build the modules from the 
ieee80211-source and ipw2200-source packages until I had a working 
ipw2200-driver again.

As it's not sensible to disable the ieee80211-subsystem in debians kernel, I 
would like to ask whether the latest ieee80211-driver as well as the 
ipw2200-driver can/will be integrated into the debian kernel sources if 
they're not included in the upstream kernel source fast enough...

The patches in this packages dont apply to linux-source-2.6.14 only up to

patch for 2.6.14.


Workaround: build against 2.6.12:

Bug#308836: rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181)

2005-05-12 Thread Holger Levsen
package: rsync
version: 2.6.4-6
severity: important

Hi,

IMHO the failure is similar to (the closed) #308733, that is I get an error 
io timeout after 50 seconds -- exiting
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181)

I'm not sure if #308733 did occur when running rsync as a standalone server 
(as was indicated in the closing mail, which also linked to #308428 and 
#307923, which are about standalone rsync server, if I understood correctly.) 

I'm not running a rsync server, instead I'm running this script for my backup:

excl= --exclude $foo --exclude $bar
time rsync --timeout=50 -v -z -e ssh -av $excl --delete $HOME $targethost:

If I exclude my mail-directory from this (which is obviusly not what I 
want...) I don't get the error. If I only rsync the mail directory I still 
get the error.

Both systems are running sarge, so I first encoutered the error with rsync 
2.6.4-5 - after browsing the BTS I updated to 2.6.4-6 on both sides. (The 
system where the scripts runs is powerpc so I had to manually build 2.6.4-6 
there, because so far it hasnt been autobuild on ppc. On the other side I 
just installed the binary-deb from sid.)

+/para


1. typo: Thihs 

2. s/Some people even consider this method can be less secure as it may give a 
false sense of security./Some people consider this method problematic as it

Maybe its even sensible to write it even shorter: This method is considered 
slightly better in terms of security but it might also give a false sense of 
security because physical access to a MD5 hash allows for brute force 
attacks.

3. I believe the /para after the 2nd MD5 is wrong.

 Workaround: dpkg -i --force-architecture fai-kernels_1.9.1_i386.deb

You dont gain anything by this workaround as these kernels need to be 
installed in a fai nfsroot which has to be created on the target architecture 
(i386 here) anyway, as make-fai-nfsroot calls debootstrap which in turn 
executes all the packages postinst scripts, which will lead to the execution 
of binaries. There is no cross-debootstrap.

Therefore I will close this bug report. You might look up #101598 which is a 
similar wishlist bug, which has been closed.

Besides the original upstream (Heroine Virtual Ltd [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
the people at http://cvs.cinelerra.org/devcorner/cvswrite.html (or the URL

This should be changed to http://cvs.cinelerra.org

 This is a branched version of Cinelerra sometimes called
 Cinelerra-CVS

I dont think it's useful (at the moment) to have both versions of cinelerra in 
Debian. So #78209, #156614 and #239570 could be closed.

OTOH, it's a seperatly maintained fork, so maybe not. What do you think ?

BTW, IMHO it would really be a good idea to change that name. Maintainers of 
cinelerra-cvs, what do you think ? Cinelerra has also been renamed in the 
past :-)

Be careful, more than 1000 Cinelerra source files do not have a
 proper license, a dozen are copyrighted by the MPEG group, another dozen
 are under the old ugly OpenDivX license, and you have many additional
 strange licensing terms in some files (such as free to copy and modify,
 but not to redistribute).

Sam gave me a list with his investigation of the cinelerra-cvs, I have 
attached it. What strikes me most, is the lack of licences for 15% of the 
whole sourcecode. (1013 out of 6631 (Sam's list from 2004-04-25 / my 
cvs-checkout from monday). 

Since this investigation is a year old, I would like to ask upstream and the 
maintainers of the fork to comment on the current situation. Have those 
issues been addressed ? (Yes, i'm too lazy to check this myself now. Thats why 
I'm asking the people who should know whether they did that work ;)


Are you in touch with Holger Levsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]? We
 talked about Cinelerra at the QA miniconf and I sent him a list of
 problematic source files I had gathered. He is in touch with other
 people interested in packaging Cinelerra.

I've not really got into touch with the cinelerra-cvs community yet, only 
with Herman Robak (who is deeply involved in cinelerra-cvs)... With this  
mail I try to address the issues and connect the people who could have an 
interest in solving them. 

http://www.heroinewarrior.com/support.php3 (real upstream) mentions the fork 
on their support/harrassment page, so I tend to think, they're somewhat happy 
about it... 

Another big problem: Currently the build requirements for the debian packages 
provided from cinelerra-cvs (see 
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.html or 
http://developer.skolelinux.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/external/cinelerra/hvirtual/README.BUILD?rev=HEADcontent-type=text/plain
) include a number of packages which are not in Debian but distributed via 
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ - I hope that it will be possible to 
create a cinelerra version, which works with free codecs from Debian proper 
only, and still can use additional codecs from marillat. 

I know that this most probably will be a long journey or even impossible - but 
if this _is_ impossible I would like to spread the word, so there is an 
incentive to work on a truly free tool for editing videos.

Please reply if you want to help on this. If this gets started, we could 
create an alioth-project to group-maintain cinelerra-cvs, but for discussing 
those details it's currently too early IMHO.

Bug#401889: memory requirements for powerpc

2006-12-06 Thread Holger Levsen
Package: debian-installer-manual
severity: wishlist

Hi,

the following memory requirements for powerpc should be documented in the 
manual, because booting with too little memory results in strange effects / 
error messages, which especially people new to powerpc will not understand, 
and therefor think the installer is broken for there machine.

d-i: recommended is 48mb, might work with less, but on newworld it sureley 
doesnt boot with 32mb. (tested with daily cd from 2006-12-04). 64mb is still 
low-mem.

d-i: recommended is 128mb. works with 96mb, but partioning is buggy then. (it 
crashes and comes back, so it's usable, but really not recommended. With 96mb 
the main partition would reliably have no mount point set, with 160 mb this 
is no problem.)

If you point me to the proper file, I'm happy to submit a patch for this bug.

 The g-i has a separate check for available memory and should fall back

As I wrote in another bug-report (#401889 iirc), this doesnt work well (at 
least on powerpc): with 96mb I could ran g-i, but the partioner would 
frequently crash due to too little memory. 

So this limit should be raised to 128mb on powerpc.

 That is a different matter, butAFAICT the powerpc boot does not have
 anything like the F2 help keys.

Right. But such a text can be added to yaboots boot.msg.

Hi,

I recently installed usplash on powerpc, together with a crypted partition 
using dm-crypt. 

Usplash doesn't give me a prompt to enter the passphrase (which I just filed a 
wishlist bug about), but whats much worse, when I manually switch to the text 
console and enter the passphrase, it is shown in clear on the screen and 
doesnt work.

When switching to the text console before the passphrase is prompted, it 
works. 

I filed this bug as important because of these two issues together: it breaks 
functionality and additional has the potential to leak  a probably very 
complicated passphrase. If it just wouldn't work, I would have used normal 
severity.

 I do not even know what fai is so I can not make a judgement about that.

The vserver-fai build methods only works with a very old branch of fai (from

use it, you would a.) need to downgrade fai and b.) switch to an unofficial

I don't think we want to have it in etch.

Obviously you (or rather the author of the vserver-fai build method) can fix 
the vserver-fai build method to work with the current version of fai... but 
if you dont do this, I think it's much better for the users of util-vserver 
and fai (and also for the maintainers who will receive bugreports), if you 
remove it. 

 It works just fine to install with debootstrap method.

Which is true (and I also use it to install fai vservers with it), but also 
quite irrelevant :) Or rather not, because of this, you can safely remove the 
vserver-fai build method.

I believe this is wrong.

 In this debconf prompt, the user is asked for a server and is specifying a
 URI instead. 

There was no debconf prompt, maybe because I installed it with live-package 
which (I think, not confirmed) sets DEBCONF_FRONTEND to non-interactive.

But I was definitly not prompted for anything ;)

 I don't think this is RC -- the failure mode is ungraceful in

Bug#390507: document URL-types for FAI_CONFIG_SRC in fai.conf

2006-10-01 Thread Holger Levsen
package: fai-client
version: 3.0
severity: important

Hi,

FAI_CONFIG_SRC in /etc/fai/fai.conf expects to be an URL. It would be nice if 
the comments would indicate, what URL-typos are supported, especially as the 
documentation is outdated.

Proposal:

instead of

# how to access the fai config space
# default if undefined here: nfs://`hostname`/$FAI_CONFIGDIR
#FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://yourservername$FAI_CONFIGDIR


something like:

# how to access the fai config space
# default if undefined here: nfs://`hostname`/$FAI_CONFIGDIR
# supported URL-types: nfs, file, svn+ssh
#FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://yourservername$FAI_CONFIGDIR

Bug#390504: FAI_CONFIGDIR is ignored

2006-10-01 Thread Holger Levsen
package: fai-client
version: 3.0

Hi,

with an unmodified /etc/fai/fai.conf and a populated /srv/fai/config (on the 
client), running fai -N softupdate results in the error-message Error: 
Provide the URL to obtain the fai config storage in $FAI_CONFIG_SRC.

Despite, from fai.conf:

# the configuration space on the install server
FAI_CONFIGDIR=/srv/fai/config

# how to access the fai config space
# default if undefined here: nfs://`hostname`/$FAI_CONFIGDIR
#FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://yourservername$FAI_CONFIGDIR


Then, fai hangs (and doesn't exit.)

The error+behaviour is the same, if /srv/fai/config doesnt exist, it would be 
nice, if an error-message /srv/fai/config doesnt exist would be printed and 
then fai would exit with error 1. Not filing a seperate bug for this (yet), 
as first the above described issue needs to be fixed.

Bug#390545: integrate vserver-build.fai

2006-10-01 Thread Holger Levsen
package: fai
version: 3.0

Hi,

a dedicated build method for fai-enabled vservers now exists in vservers-svn:
http://svn.linux-vserver.org/viewvc.py/util-vserver/trunk/scripts/vserver-build.fai?view=markup
and will hopefully released in util-vserver .211

The needed changes in fai have been send to the mailinglist but not to the 
BTS, they are here: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-fai%40rrz.uni-koeln.de/msg03756.html

Currently the build method in vserver has the following problems:

- obsolete old path for FAI_CONFIGDIR and FAI_NFSROOT as default
- relying on sams branch, doesnt work with fai 3.0 (I have no idea whats 
exactly needed to make it work...)
- relying on the fai nfsroot to exist. I very often deploy vservers with fai 
without using a nfsroot and just using softupdate. So this is kind of a 
regression.
- possible more ;)

Sam, I think you could greatly help if you could describe what changes are 
_really_ needed in fai to make vserver-build.fai work...


regards,
Holger

Log from the discussion on #vserver, which made me notice this:

daniel_hozac mugwump: i've committed the fai to the svn now with a few fixes 
(check for nfsroot, removing the directories in killprocs, probably something 
else i forgot).
-- phreak`` has quit (Quit: leaving)

h01ger daniel_hozac, whats fai in this context?

called :)
--- _[PUPPETS]Gonzo is now known as [PUPPETS]Gonzo
h01ger daniel_hozac, interesting. i'm an active fai developer :) so what 
code did you commit to vservers (?) svn?
h01ger and mugwump used to hang around in #fai too :)
h01ger and i maintain my vservers with fai :)
meandtheshell h01ger: 
http://svn.linux-vserver.org/viewvc.py/util-vserver/ :)
h01ger daniel_hozac, and where there exactly? which path?
daniel_hozac it's a fai build method.
daniel_hozac trunk/scripts/vserver-build.fai
daniel_hozac https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?5058
daniel_hozac h01ger: opinions appreciated :)
h01ger FAI_NFSROOT and FAI_CONFIGDIR use hardcoded and deprecated paths (?) 
h01ger mugwump, daniel_hozac: have you tested this with fai 3.0, released 
sometime last week?
h01ger ah, nor hardcoded
daniel_hozac i haven't tested it at all.
h01ger each time i see /usr/local in FAI_NFSROOT||_CONFIGDIR I get a 
heart-attack. i reported this stupid bug in 2003 and it was fixed last month. 
after three years of nagging.
daniel_hozac hehe.
h01ger thats why first screamed and then read further. they are at least not 
hardcoded...
h01ger also this looks suspicious to me:
h01ger  echo *** Looks like you don't have the patched FAI.
h01ger echo *** get it from 
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/fai/people/mugwump/vserver
daniel_hozac how so?
h01ger cause it should work with the unpatched fai?!
daniel_hozac should it? would you be able to try?
* daniel_hozac doesn't have any Debian hosts available to him.
daniel_hozac i have no idea what mugwump's fai changes from vanilla.
* h01ger neither. but i just check, the test fails with fai_3.0
h01ger checked
daniel_hozac right, i suppose that's the idea.
daniel_hozac but if that was commented, would it work?
daniel_hozac it being the build method.
h01ger i have no idea, as i dont know what feature mugwump added
h01ger also i'm unhappy about the hardcoded tmpfs mounting for the vserver - 
i usually disable this for my vservers (as 16mb /tmp is way to little)
daniel_hozac 19:58  h01ger cause it should work with the unpatched fai?!
daniel_hozac that is just temporary for the build though.
daniel_hozac surely a 64 MiB /tmp should suffice for building a guest?
h01ger daniel_hozac, yes. but its hard to say if it will work, if i dont 
know what changes mugwump has in his branch.
h01ger daniel_hozac, for building thats fine. didnt see that
h01ger mugwump, i also dislike that this needs a setup fai nfsroot. i 
heavily use fai softupdate and i often dont even have a nfsroot...
daniel_hozac h01ger: so what would you change? :)
h01ger daniel_hozac, so this build method will show up in vserver-utils one 
day?
daniel_hozac one day very soon.
daniel_hozac i'd really want to release 0.30.211 next week.
h01ger daniel_hozac, i dont know why its needed. atm i'm looking into 
replacing the custom fai-live-cd build scripts (which also rely on the 
nfsroot) with the (new) live-package from debian, which is a generic 
infrastructure to build live cds. and i promised to look at the munin-vserver 
plugins today. so i wont look much further into vserver-build.fai ;-)
daniel_hozac h01ger: ok, so how would you build guests with fai?
h01ger with the debootstrap method. then i just run fai softupdate and be 
done
h01ger i have a script for this, which prepares the vserver a tiny bit after 
building, so i agree, a build-method makes sense. but the current 
implementation looks like quite a hack to me :-/
daniel_hozac i do kind of agree :)
h01ger and mugwump also only send a mail to the fai list 

Bug#390545: integrate vserver-build.fai

2006-10-01 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi Sam,

On Sunday 01 October 2006 22:31, you wrote:
 Please note that this new feature does not interfere with your
 approach of using the debootstrap build method and then running
 softupdate. 

Sure. I would just be happy to throw away my approach and use yours :-)

 Perhaps we can suggest these two methods as alternatives 
 for building vservers in the documentation.

I think this (under the title setting up vservers) is more confusing and has 
no benifits. 

My approach is just a logical extension of softupdates, which should be 
covered anyway.

Your approach should be the offical way to setup vservers.

 Far from being a regression, each approach has its advantages and
 disadvantages; the approach of using the nfsroot (which, of course,
 becomes a somewhat figurative term) makes the build a single logical
 step, and ensures consistency if the intent is to prototype real host
 builds using vservers. 

An nfsroot is just debootstrap plus some extra packages defined in fai.conf. 
So the consistency can be easily reproduced without relying on a actual 
existing nfsroot.

I also fail to see why an nfsroot is needed for i386 builds on amd64.

 As for the default paths being obsolete, I am currently working on

I hope you read my comment on #vserver about why I'm so upset if I see those 
pathes: I insisted three years to make FAI behave in a FHS compatible way and 
after this long time I really freak out, if I see /usr/local/share/fai - it 
makes my eyes bleed and my brain cry ;-) Nothing personal :)

 making this usable for the current stable release of debian before I
 move on to making it work with testing.  I based it off FAI 2.10.1;
 and plan to re-base it off the latest 2.x release.  Please bear in
 mind that I have been familiarizing myself with FAI along the way, and
 that now we have a working system (and the projects we are using this
 for - the .nz registry system and NZ Electoral Enrolment Centre
 offices - are in deployment phase), we are in a position to spend time
 to take our improvements and share them.  

Cool.

 Perhaps in the meantime you 
 might have suggestions for detecting which version of FAI is
 installed

dpkg -l fai or dpkg -l fai-client if using the split packages (which are 
default since etch.)

Holger

Yes.

 Then this bug is rather important, I guess. Or am I missing something?
 (If I am right I'll update the severity which I already set to normal
 from none)

There is no none severity. The default _is_ normal :)

I was thinking about important severity as well, but decided against it. It's 
completly trivial to work around it and I rather prefer to fix the more 
important documentation issues first.

But obviously _I_ also dont mind if the severity is increased. But Thomas 
might, thats why I left it normal. (Which as said is just a bug, cause its 
easy to fix yourself. Other stuff is really important.)

Sven, the last info on this bug is from you, saying that you would test the 
patch Frans corrected the coming (and now past) weekend. You didn't post an 
update how the test went, so I'm not surprised the patch isn't commited.

How did the test went? Is the patch now fine? Could you please add this 
information to the bugreport?! Thanks.

As you mention this bug in this thread under the powerpc should be removed 
because arch support is poor label (which I still think isn't true), I 
wonder if the severity normal is correct.

Holger

Bug#401041: fai-cd broken in etch

2006-11-30 Thread Holger Levsen
package: fai
version: 3.1.2
severity: important

Hi,

fai-cd is broken in etch and will probably stay this way, as it relies on 
mkinitrd-cd, which has been removed from etch.

So I propose to either remove fai-cd from fai or document it (or a workaround) 
properly and prominently in the package - best at the same places where 
fai-cd is documented.


regards,
Holger

Bug#397942: g5 imacs now silent?

2006-11-30 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

this bug was originally about building certain windfarm drivers into the 
kernel instead of modules, but it seems, that this was a red herring and the 
current kernel in sid now includes working modules to turn the G5 fans 
silent.

If this is correct, this bug can be closed. Is it correct?

Bug#401307: ITP: olsrd - optimized link-state routing daemon

2006-12-02 Thread Holger Levsen
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2006-12-02
Severity: wishlist
 
* Package name : olsrd
* Version : 0.4.10
* Upstream Authors : Andreas Tønnesen([EMAIL PROTECTED]), 
Thomas Lopatic([EMAIL PROTECTED])
* URL : http://www.olsr.org
* License : BSD Copyright (c) 2004, Andreas Tønnesen([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Thomas Lopatic([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Description : Optimized Link-State Routing daemon
 olsrd is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol for
 Mobile Ad-Hoc networks(MANET). The protocol is described in RFC3626. It is
 designed to be run as a standalone server process - but as it is still in an
 experimental stage most users will prefer running it with some debug output
 which is directed to STDOUT.
 .
 OLSR operates as a table driven, proactive protocol, i.e., exchanges topology
 information with other nodes of the network regularly. It is developed to
 work independently from other protocols. Likewise, OLSR makes no assumptions
 about the underlying link-layer.

Holger

Bug#398039: raising severity

2006-12-04 Thread Holger Levsen
severity 398039 serious
thanks

from #debian-release

h01ger hi - do you know that python-cjkcodecs is uninstallable in etch? 
Setting up python-cjkcodecs (1.1.1-2+b1) ...
h01ger pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: python-cjkcodecs needs unavailable 
runtime (2.3)
h01ger just saw that this is #398039 (normal)
buxy it should probably be removed because it's useless with python 2.4
buxy h01ger: much like python-iconvcodec and #398899 (same kind of mia 
maintainer), I suggest you increase the severity and ask its removal
buxy (after checking in the changelog that it effectively only provides 
something useful for python2.3)
h01ger sorry, i wont have time for that (checking) today, monday monday... 
and customer project needs to be done tomorrow. if you want, i can cutpaste 
this discussion to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#401530: usb-scanners don't work on powerpc (little endian)

2006-12-04 Thread Holger Levsen
package: hplip
version: 1.6.10-2
severity: grave
tags: upstream

Hi,

scanning with usb-connected devices does not work on powerpc (or all little 
endian archs I guess).

After I followed the instructions in this email, 
http://www.mail-archive.com/hplip-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00233.html
and recompiled the package, scanning works.

But I dont think removing that macro is the right solution for all archs :)

Bug#398789: its still an issue

2006-12-04 Thread Holger Levsen
reopen 398789
severity 398789 wishlist
retitle 398789 please make installable, even if no PRNG exists
clone 398789 -1
reassign -1 openssh
retitle -1 please make installable, even if no PRNG exists
thanks

Hi,

this bug is still a bug, even if it's not RC. 

On (normal) vservers, you cannot create devices, so if you create a chroot on 
a vserver, it lacks (amongs others) the (u)random devices, so installing this 
package in such a chroot will fail.

I do understand, that a PRNG is needed for operation of the package, but 
sometimes it's usefull to only install it (for example when creating live-cds 
in such a chroot on a vserver...), so it would be nice, if the package 
installation wouldnt fail if no PRNG is available.

Thanks.


regards,
Holger
