[Bug 1673591] [NEW] PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first.

2017-03-16 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 16.04.2 with smart-notifier 0.28-5, the following warning is
output to the terminal on launch:

% smart-notifier
/usr/share/smart-notifier/smart_notifier/gui.py:23: PyGIWarning: Gtk was 
imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', 
'3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Gtk

A test of smart-notifier like:
% echo test | sudo smart-notifier --notify

showed that it is working. So apparently just a warning.

This is similar to bug #1598896, but the details are a bit different.

** Affects: smart-notifier (Ubuntu)

[Bug 1603988] Re: twinkle terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'

2016-11-22 Thread Tom Metro
I saw an app report dialog pointing to the failure that I believe is
referenced in bug 1631210. Then when trying to launch from the command
line I see:

[Bug 872824] Re: Network-manager locks up when adding strongSwan VPN connection

2014-06-04 Thread Tom Metro
Here are the steps to install the 12.10 binaries on 12.04:

% wget 
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/108979339/network-manager-strongswan_1.3.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
% wget 
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/108979332/strongswan-nm_4.5.2-1.5ubuntu2_amd64.deb
% wget

% wget 
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/108979327/libstrongswan_4.5.2-1.5ubuntu2_amd64.deb
% sudo dpkg -i libstrongswan_4.5.2-1.5ubuntu2_amd64.deb
% sudo dpkg -i strongswan-ikev2_4.5.2-1.5ubuntu2_amd64.deb
% sudo dpkg -i strongswan-nm_4.5.2-1.5ubuntu2_amd64.deb
% sudo dpkg -i network-manager-strongswan_1.3.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

I can confirm this gets you past the hang and lets the config dialog
appear. I can't confirm that strongswan itself is functional, as the
other end of the connection I'm testing requires a pre-shared key, and
the strongswan wiki[1] page on the Network Manager plugin notes that,
PSK is not supported, as it is considered insecure if the secrets are
not strong enough. (So PSK is supported by strongswan (as documented
elsewhere), just not by the Network Manager plugin. Thanks for the value
judgment.)

[Bug 1189661] Re: delay: estimated N, actual N warning logged by kernel

2013-07-17 Thread Tom Metro
 Have you tried a different USB port(s)?

Yes. I plugged the USB sound adapter into a different port and the
logged warnings persisted.

The laptop has 1 through 8 USB buses listed by lsusb, but only 3
external ports.

Currently (and originally) attached as:

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter

I temporarily tried it on:

Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

which has two ports. I didn't bother trying it on both ports of that
hub.

Here's the full device list (probably redundant with one of the
attachments above):

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 064e:a117 Suyin Corp.  (webcam)
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

[Bug 1189661] [NEW] delay: estimated N, actual N warning logged by kernel

2013-06-10 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

A recent Ubuntu 12.04 update has resulted in a flood of kernel log
messages like:

Jun 10 16:53:50 fringe kernel: [1083938.675908] delay: estimated 222, actual 1
Jun 10 16:53:53 fringe kernel: [1083941.451942] delay: estimated 89, actual 0

Jun 10 16:54:55 fringe kernel: [1084003.572938] delay: estimated 222, actual 1
Jun 10 16:55:31 fringe kernel: [1084039.821516] delay: estimated 266, actual 1
Jun 10 16:55:33 fringe kernel: [1084041.717585] delay: estimated 89, actual 0

whenever a USB sound card is used. (Even just sitting idle with no
playback. As long as the card is selected as the output device in Sound
settings, it happens.)

Here's a link to a message from about a year ago where Pierre-Louis Bossart 
says he is the one who added this diagnostic message:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/97011

Other references include:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multipleid=798844
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1592033?do=post_view_threaded

There appears to be no functional impact or difference compared to how
the sound card worked prior to the update. The warnings are either in
error or warning of an insignificant condition.

The main problem with them is that they obscure important errors in the
kernel logs, and waste disk space.

[Bug 1187144] [NEW] package deluge for headless operation

2013-06-03 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

I installed deluged, deluge-web, and deluge-console and followed the headless 
setup instructions here:
http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/ThinClient

expecting that most of the described steps would have been done for me
by the Ubuntu packaging, but discovered they had not.

My conclusion is that Deluge is packaged for the more typical user
running a combined client-server setup on a local machine. Thus deluged
doesn't auto-start, for example, because it is assumed the typical user
will have it start on demand when the GUI starts.

It should be easier to get a headless setup going.

Traditionally I'd say the deluged package should prompt the user on
install to select the mode, but my understanding is that interactive
prompting at package install time is discouraged. Besides, for a useful
headless install, it seems you really need deluge-console (to manage
some of the config settings) and deluge-web (even if you don't need a
web UI, some 3rd party Deluge clients use the JSON API it provides).

My recommendation is that:

1. fix the issues described in Bug #1096267 so the deluged and deluge-
web packages are up to modern standards.

2. figure out whether the deluge-web package should behave like a plugin
for the GUI (if you install the web UI from within he GUI, does it even
use this package?) or as a standard service package with appropriate
startup scripts.

3. create a deluge-headless package that depends on deluged, deluge-
web, and deluge-console, and reconfigures them to run as services and
start automatically. It should also include a SetUID wrapper (or
similar) for deluge-console, so it can be used to manage deluged running
as the deluge user (whatever the deluged package uses). (Perhaps, if the
package properly configures deluged, there will be no need for deluge-
console, and it can be eliminated from the deluge-headless dependencies.
I'm too new to Deluge to know if deluge-console is ever needed after
you've enabled remote access. Can deluged be fully administered from the
GUI client thereafter?)

deluge-headless may still require a prompt at installation time to
create login credentials for a remote user, as creating a default one is
probably discouraged. The setup guide above suggests modifying the auth
file directly to do this, which seems to imply ths is not something
deluge-console can do. It would seem a fairly trivial script (deluge-
user) could be included in the package to manage the auth file.

In theory a working headless Deluge setup should be accomplished with something 
like:
  % sudo aptitude install deluge-headless
  % sudo deluge-user --add --user remote_user --pass remote_pass --level admin
  % ssh otherhost
  otherhost% deluge-console
   connect deluge_server remote_user remote_pass
  Connected to deluge_server:58846

(deluge-user could support a simple interactive mode, where running it
without arguments would dump the current list of users in the auth file,
and give you options to delete/modify them, or add a new user. This way
the user doesn't need to learn the command line syntax of a tool they'll
rarely ever use. The only remaining challenge is making sure users know
they need to run deluge-user post install.)

[Bug 1096267] Re: Please provide an upstart job

2013-06-03 Thread Tom Metro
 Please provide an upstart job

I'm going to redundantly echo that sentiment. As noted above the
upstream project provides the necessary scripts.

I think the issues in this bug exist largely because the packaging
wasn't intended to support headless users, as I speculated in Bug
#1187144.


 Also, deluge-web is also missing an upstart job, as a matter of fact, it 
 doesn't have an init script either.

Again, I'm wondering is this package was created with the assumption
that the user would be launching it from the GUI. Otherwise, you'd have
to consider the package broken, as it is incomplete with respect to
being an Ubuntu service package.


 Also, why not use the name 'deluge' or 'deluged' as the username/groupname 
 instead of debian-deluged?

Obviously carried over from Debian packaging. I'd be curious to know why
the Debian packager felt it was necessary to add the prefix. Did he get
complaints of name conflicts?

In any case, it sounds like with a few fairly trivial tweaks these
packages could be modernized, and combined with a bit of glue, as I
describe in Bug #1187144 to create a fairly painless headless install
experience.

[Bug 1156460] Re: p7zip-full claims to include p7zip command, but does not

2013-03-18 Thread Tom Metro
As a workaround I extracted the wrapper script from the non-full
package:

% cd /tmp
% wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/93194080/p7zip_9.20.1%7Edfsg.1-4_amd64.deb
% mkdir p7zip_9.20.1%7Edfsg.1-4_amd64
% dpkg-deb -x p7zip_9.20.1~dfsg.1-4_amd64.deb p7zip_9.20.1~dfsg.1-4_amd64

% sudo cp p7zip_9.20.1~dfsg.1-4_amd64/usr/share/man/man1/p7zip.1.gz 
/usr/local/man/man1/

Then I patched the script to s/7zr/7za/ for compatibility with p7zip-
full:

This:
% perl -i -e 's/7zr/7za/' /usr/local/bin/p7zip

should do the same as above, if you prefer not to use 'patch'.

I also created:
/usr/local/bin% ln -s /usr/bin/7za 7zip
/usr/local/bin% ln -s p7zip 7zip-pipe

because I find p7zip and 7za to be unintuitive names for a tool known as 7-zip. 
It doesn't help that:
man -k 7zip
man -k zip
doesn't turn up any of these commands.

[Bug 1155398] [NEW] MIME types are not registered

2013-03-14 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Installed 2.0-426-gc32b3ed-2ubuntu0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.1.

GUI file managers, such as Nautilus, were unaware of the existence of
mplayer because it does not install the necessary .desktop files to
associate it with the MIME types it can handle. Seems like this should
be part of the packaging for Ubuntu.

Work-around: follow the procedure here:

[Bug 731552] Re: [wishlist] create a to read queue or a way to save specific messages

2012-10-18 Thread Tom Metro
Another way to go on this would be Read It Later/Pocket/Instapaper/and
similar service integration.

It would need some config UI to set up an article saving service.
Thereafter you can right-click on a link and select Add to [service]
from the context manu. Perhaps even declaring a shortcut key that will
modift a normal link click to use a service instad of opening a browser.
An option to set the defaut click response to use a chosen service would
also be helpful.

(Whether Gwibber takes responsibility for resolving redirects before
handing it to the service is a question that would need to be resolved.
Some services may already handle this.)

[Bug 113061] Re: gnotime crashes when out of disk space

2011-09-30 Thread Tom Metro
Using 2.3.1~snapshot20090531-1ubuntu2 on Ubuntu 9.10.

I've had out of disk space issues with GnoTime before, but they were
always easily resolved by replacing the main data file with a backup.
This time I kept getting the

Cannot open the project data file
Shall I setup a new configuration?

error dialog even though the file was clearly there, and strace showed
it wasn't even attempting to access .gnome2/gnotime.d/gnotime-data.xml.

Answering yes in the dialog just led to a seg fault (apparently in the
midst of processing socket I/O with the X server).

After an hour of troubleshooting, the problem was finally resolved by 
reinstalling the package:
% sudo aptitude reinstall gnotime

2010-07-04 Thread Tom Metro
I observed this problem (same as comment #3), but after a reboot it went
away and stayed away for a while (weeks). I figured the explanation of
comment #4 was probably why.

I just noticed it has occurred. I re-enabled the PPA that had been
disabled on my 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade, and upgraded to 0.4.3, but the
problem is still there. It might get resolved by a reboot again, but if
this is reoccurring, there's clearly something broken.

Reinhard Tartler  wrote:

I don't see any reports upstream. Seems more likely that there is a
specific interaction with Ubuntu. If an OS reboot temporarily fixes the
problem, but an application restart does not, chances are there is
something in the Ubuntu/GNOME environment that is ceasing to work after
a period of time.

I see an old Debian bug that appears to describe the same symptoms and offers a 
patch:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=414171

I'm guessing this occurrence has a slightly different cause, otherwise
it wouldn't work some of the time.

[Bug 509544] Re: wishlist: add indication of background tab buffer change

2010-03-06 Thread Tom Metro
 ...I think I'd like it to change to bold text.

That probably would have been my first pick too. It fits the model used
by other applications.

Though if tabs adjust their width to the text, that can trigger
undesired movement in the tab bar contents. (It looks like ROXTerm tabs
are fixed width, and if so, this concern isn't applicable.)


 ...the close button icon will change.

That sounds OK too, though there isn't a good UI metaphor or precedent
for using the close button real estate as a notification area.

(I've always found close buttons on tabs that aren't in the foreground
to be problematic. Occasionally it is handy to be able to close a tab
without bringing it into the foreground. But sometimes it can make it
too easy to close the wrong tab. I think my ideal tab close button would
stay hidden unless the tab was in the foreground and the mouse was
hovering over the tab corner. This requires some user training to know
that it is there, but affords more space for titles.)


 ...new option...Show terminal status in close buttons. The background only 
 flashes for beeps...

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any good use cases that I
personally encounter where a general change notification would be
useful. Sure, there's the rare occasion when I'm moving or copying a
large file, and an indication of when that completes could be handy.
Aside from that, I think it would mostly get triggered by the error
messages spit out by ssh when a network connection drops and it
reconnects. Due to automation and 'screen' such a disconnect has no real
impact, so it isn't something I'd want my attention drawn to.

I'd have to try it for a while to see whether it ends up being more
useful or more distraction, so I'd want to make sure that the status
notification can be disabled independent of the beep notification, which
I do find useful.

I'll provide some more feedback after I've used the svn version for a
while and give an opinion on whether this feature should be on or off by
default.

[Bug 376879] Re: grub2 installer modifies grub 0.97 menu.lst incorrectly and fails to chainload grub2

2010-01-31 Thread Tom Metro
Colin Watson  wrote:
 grub2 was released in jaunty for testing only...

The instructions for upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 warns that there are
problems with some systems when identifying the root partition via UUID.
The instructions imply that although this impacts both grub legacy and
grub2, the workaround appears far cleaner in grub2. Therefore it is a
logical preparation step for a 9.10 upgrade to start by first upgrading
to grub2, then applying the setting not to use UUID, and confirming that
all works before doing the dist upgrade.

Given this, I was surprised when I found this known bug to still be present in 
9.04. Fortunately I had already read about the workaround in these grub2 
upgrade guides:
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-grub-2-on-ubuntu-9.04
http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-upgrade-to-grub2-on-ubuntu-jaunty.html

So I'll add another vote for getting this resolved on 9.04.

If no appropriate key type is available when  you go to encrypt something, a 
helpful dialog appears informing the user that they should create a key using 
the Passwords and Encryption keys application, then launches that application.

However the message falls just a bit short of being as helpful as it
could be, as it fails to tell the user what type of key they need to
create. (Apparently it is a PGP key.)

[Bug 485528] [NEW] loadkeys reports killkey called with bad index

2009-11-19 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kbd

On Ubuntu 9.04 using kbd 1.14.1-4ubuntu4 I used showkey (with no
options) to find the keycode for a couple of keys on my Acer Aspire
8930G notebook that had been reporting no evens in X (xev). showkey
reported 435 and 434 as the keycodes. I created a keymap like:

keymaps 0-63
# map Euro key to Home
keycode 435 = Home
# map $ key to End
keycode 434 = End


and processed it with loadkeys from the console, which reported:
killkey called with bad index 435

A quick search turned up the source for a version of loadkeys.c that
shows:

http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/sources/expanded_srpms/kbd-1.12-22.fc7/kbd-1.12/src/loadkeys.y
#define NR_KEYS 256
[...]
static void
killkey(int index, int table) {
/* roughly: addkey(index, table, K_HOLE); */

if (index  0 || index = NR_KEYS)
lkfatal0(_(killkey called with bad index %d), index);
[...]


From what I can tell, 435 is in fact a keycode (and not one of the other 
things showkey can report), and is supposed to be a decimal number, so that 
leads me to wonder if NR_KEYS needed to be updated to reflect the current 
capabilities of the keyboad driver.

I'll try grabbing the proper source, increasing that limit (512?), and
giving it a spin to see if it chokes elsewhere.

2009-07-20 Thread Tom Metro
I've been seeing this frequently in 9.04. (Didn't notice it in 8.10 on
the same machine.) I can reproduce it easily. Sometimes the crash occurs
as soon as the drag operation is commenced. Lately I've been noticing it
when copying files from an SMB mount. I haven't tested whether the
problem is exclusive to that. I have been seeing stuff like:

[415439.660824]  CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 30
[415439.811663]  CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid 33

in the kernel log, but I've seen those at times other than when nautilus
crashes. (They seem to be another artifact of the buggy 9.04
environment. Don't recall seeing them in 8.10.)

My /var/crash directory is empty. But I can easily follow any
recommended procedure for capturing crash data.

(This leaves the desktop devoid of icons. Is there a recommended
procedure for restarting the nautilus instance used to render the
desktop?)

2009-06-28 Thread Tom Metro
After updating to 185.18.14 there is no notable changes to the
previously reported symptoms. The repaint problems in the help viewer
for Bookmarkbridge are as bad if not slightly worse compared to the
earlier test. And Keepassx is currently not exhibiting any symptoms, as
before.

However, I'm now seeing a new problem since this driver update. I had
MythTV front-end playing back a video in a window while restoring a
Firefox session. At some point during the session restore, the color in
the video shifted (faces turned blue, for example). Exiting and
restarting MythTV front-end or switching to a different video did not
reset the color palette, however switching to a different virtual
desktop and back did.

2009-06-27 Thread Tom Metro
 I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
 would you mind testing it either on Jaunty...

I'll give it a spin, though a recent update (within the last two weeks
I'd guess) has vastly improved the situation. As far as I can see from
my logs, I'm still using the same version of libqtcore4
(4.5.0-0ubuntu4.1), as when I reported the bug, so that must not have
been the culprit. And nvidia-glx-180 is still 180.44-0ubuntu1. Of course
I've had kernel and other upgrades.


I originally wrote:
 Specific apps. where I've seen problems:
 The help viewer for Bookmarkbridge.
 The entry edit dialog in Keepassx.

Last time I tested the help viewer for Bookmarkbridge, it appeared to
work normally. Originally the repaint problem was so bad that it was
unusable. ...actually, retesting it, it still does exhibit symptoms in
the form of delayed repaints, but much better than it was.

KeepassX is also improved. Last I tested it I still observed some
repaint problems with the dialog buttons. Today, I can't observer any
problems.

Now with the symptoms baselined, I'll try the updated nvidia driver and
retest.

Using Ubuntu Jaunty, specifying a referred web browser via the GNOME
Preferred Applications control applet doesn't update the

If Preferred Applications is the visible and and most accessible

I've been experiencing this as well for about a week or so.

It's hard to say whether this is a symptom of this bug - which is 
rapidly turning into a kitchen sink catch-all for problems that cause 
crashes - or something independent. I haven't gone looking for a more 
specific ticket against X, but if anyone runs across one, post a 
reference to it here.

The best bet for getting these crashes resolved is to group together 
reports that all share very specific symptoms, like the originally 
reported Clocksource tsc unstable log entries, and let the developers 
work their way through eliminating each specific symptom.

[Bug 387657] [NEW] aa-logprof: doesn't handle large logs

2009-06-16 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apparmor

Ubuntu 8.04.2
Package: apparmor-utils
Version: 2.1+1075-0ubuntu9.2

My first experience with AppArmor was finding a kernel log file that was
full of 800 MB of AppArmor warnings from Samba and CUPS. I'm not sure
what suddenly enabled AppArmor on this LTS system, but while fixing the
problem I noticed

aa-logprof, while processing an 800 MB log file, drove the load average
up into the high 40's. I suspect it was trying to load the whole thing
into memory (on a system with 1 GB of RAM). I'd recommend revising the
architecture so that it processes the lines as it sees them.

I worked around the problem by splitting the file into a dozen 75MB
chunks.

[Bug 387660] [NEW] aa-logprof: mangled usr.sbin.cupsd profie

2009-06-16 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apparmor

Ubuntu 8.04.2
Package: apparmor-utils
Version: 2.1+1075-0ubuntu9.2

When using aa-logprof to update the usr.sbin.cupsd profie, I noticed a
diff after the update showed the file was mangled in several ways:

1. The file contained two profiles, and the second
(/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf) was missing.

2. Comments were stripped out.

3. The ordering of the lines was altered, resulting in a far noisier
diff than necessary.

Obviously #1 is the serious problem, potentially resulting in breakage.
#2 results in information loss. And #3 makes maintenance more of a
chore.

Hopefully this has been resolved in newer versions...

[Bug 387663] [NEW] aa-logprof: doesn't remove redundant rules

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apparmor

Ubuntu 8.04.2
Package: apparmor-utils
Version: 2.1+1075-0ubuntu9.2

My understanding of the aa-logprof documentation is that it is supposed
to remove specific rules that are obviated by broader rules, but
examining the diff after a profile update seems to show otherwise:

# rcsdiff usr.sbin.smbd .RCS/usr.sbin.smbd,v
[...]
19a19,21
   /data/ r,
   /data/** krw,
[...]
30a34,36
   /var/log/samba/clients/* a,
   /var/log/samba/cores/smbd/ rw,
   /var/log/samba/cores/smbd/** rw,
34,36c40,44
[...]
   /video/ r,
   /video/** krw,

   /video2/mythtv/1024_2009013120.mpg r,
   /video2/mythtv/1029_20090310173000.mpg r,


Many of those rules appear redundant, and I'm sure at least a few are, such as 
the last 3 lines.

[Bug 387669] [NEW] aa-logprof: doesn't ignore RCS directory

2009-06-16 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apparmor

Ubuntu 8.04.2
Package: apparmor-utils
Version: 2.1+1075-0ubuntu9.2

A not uncommon practice is to use RCS to track changes to system
configuration files. With most *.d/ directories on Debian systems you
can create an RCS subdirectory, and it will be safely ignored.

If you create /etc/apparmor.d/RCS, aa-logprof will attempt to parse the
files in that directory and produce errors. I'm not sure if this
directory processing behavior occurs just in the helper tools, like aa-
logprof, or if the main AppArmor program does this as well. Either way,
it should behave more consistently with other Debian tools.

 /dir/ and /dir have different meanings...

Thanks. I figured that might be the case. Same true for /dir/ vs.
/dir/** I presume.

But what about:

/video2/**/ r,
/video2/mythtv/1024_2009013120.mpg r,
/video2/mythtv/1029_20090310173000.mpg r,

These seem redundant, unless that first rule should be /video2/**
without the trailing slash.

It's been established that video hardware is not the common link for these

I see I have this:

[Bug 381969] [NEW] window refresh/redraw/repaint problems with QT4 apps.

2009-05-30 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libqtcore4

I'm seeing symptoms similar to what is described in Bug #338669 except
I'm using GNOME instead of KDE and have an Nvidia video card (nvidia-
glx-180 180.44-0ubuntu1).

The symptom seems to be restricted to QT4 apps, with libqtcore4 as a
common component.

Specific apps. where I've seen problems:
The help viewer for Bookmarkbridge.
The entry edit dialog in Keepassx.

The distortions I've observed aren't as extensive as those described in
Bug #295079, but this is potentially a duplicate of that bug's
circumstances (GNOME/Nvidia).

[Bug 255226] Re: sysklogd doesn't use logrotate

2009-04-28 Thread Tom Metro
For a long time I've used a workaround for this problem that moves all
sysklogd generated files to /var/log/syslog/ and then uses this
logrotate config file:

/var/log/syslog/*.log {
olddir /var/log/syslog/old
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/sysklogd reload-or-restart  /dev/null
endscript
}

Solves the problem cleanly, and I wish Debian would adopt this, but
they're understandably concerned about moving the location of common log
files.

Another approach would be to patch sysklogd to have a command line
option where it will output the definitive list of log files parsed from
its config file (supplanting the external shell script hack).
Unfortunately you can't simply do `sysklogd --listfiles` in logrotate,
due to its inflexibility. (Boggles the mind why a log rotation program
was written in C instead of Perl. See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=326421 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-

[Bug 365932] [NEW] directing logs to a broadcast address results in sendto: Permission denied

2009-04-24 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysklogd

If you modify your /etc/syslog.conf to have a line like:
*.crit  @192.168.0.255

restart sysklogd, and then run:
logger -p local0.crit -t foo message

you'll observe in /var/log/daemon.log:
Apr 24 04:14:29 host syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart.
Apr 24 04:15:13 host syslogd: sendto: Permission denied

It appears this is because syslog isn't enabling broadcast on the socket it is 
using. See:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/System/Linux/Q_20862022.html

Observed in Ubuntu 8.04 and Debian Etch (I haven't tested 8.10; will you
guys open an upstream ticket or shall I? I haven't checked to see if one
already exists in the DBTS).

Being able to send logs to a broadcast address is supposedly something
that is supposed to work, according to various third party documents on
configuring syslog (not syslog-ng).

 Uninstalling it would mean that in the future if another package was
 added to to the meta package, you wouldn't get that additional
 package on upgrade.

Which sounds fairly low risk, but something one would ideally want to
avoid.


 You could also remove the dhcp3-client package with
 --force-depends, which just runs the risk that it gets reinstalled
 later during an upgrade. There's probably a complex pinning solution
 too, but I can't fathom it.

I couldn't figure out a way around it. Any combination I came up with
(like putting dhcp3-client on hold, then removing it), just left the
package system in a broken state.

More importantly, on Hardy there are additional dependencies on
dhcp3-client. dhcdbd depends on it, which provides the DBus interface to
dhcp3-client that's used by network manager, which in turn Network
Manager depends on, which in turn ubuntu-desktop depends on.

The resolutions offered up by aptitude (supposedly the best tool for
resolving dependency issues) all involved uninstalling more packages
than I cared to.

To work around this I ended up creating a dummy package using the equivs 
package. That lets me replace the real dhcp3-client with a dummy one, 
which uninstalled the dhcp3-client binaries and scripts.

All this makes me wonder if ubuntu-minimal ought to be dependent on the
generic dhcp-client (which dhcp3-client, dhcpcd, and udhcpc all 
provide), rather than a specific package. (Of course on Hardy that won't 
fix the dhcdbd dependency. I'm guessing that means dhcp3 is probably the 
only client Network Manager knows how to control.)

I'm also wondering if uninstalling dhcp3-client was even necessary. I
noticed when I installed udhcpc that it didn't cause any conflicts, even
though it ought to have conflicted with another package providing
dhcp-client. Either udhcpc isn't correctly tagged as providing
dhcp-client, or the two can peacefully coexist.

Looks like dhcpcd has dhcp-client listed as a conflict, while udhcpc 
doesn't. Given that they all are driven by the sane interfaces config 
file, I'd expect there to be conflicts. I'd like to understand better 
how that works. Is each overwriting the other's ifupdown scripts? Is 
there a common script with a bunch of -x tests to see which binaries are 
present?


 I did test and confirm that dhcpcd=1:3.2.3-1.1 does work on alias
 interfaces on intrepid.

Unfortunately this doesn't work on Hardy with dhcpcd=1:3.0.17-2:

# init.d/networking restart 
   * Reconfiguring network interfaces...
Error, eth0: dhcpcd not running
dhcpcd.sh: interface eth0 has been configured with new IP=192.168.0.203

...done.
  * Starting NTP server ntpd
...done.
Error, eth0:1: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
Failed to bring up eth0:1.
[...]
...done.

Looks like the usual failure, though in a bit different format than what 
ifconfig produces, suggesting it is making its own syscalls, and they're 
failing in the kernel code. At least it positively states that it failed 
to bring up the interface (confirmed), unlike dhcp3-client.


A second look at the interfaces man page shows that the DHCP
configuration directives there are supported by udhcpc in addition to
dhcpcd. I hadn't noticed that before, and the udhcpc documentation omits
to mention it (should probably file a bug for that).

Given that udhcpc spits out warnings, but did appear to work when
invoked directly on Hardy, I'm going to try that next.

Hurray, it finally worked:

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

2009-04-08 Thread Tom Metro
Here's the summary how how to work around this bug:

First, if you're using Dnsmasq on the server-side you might run into Bug
#327703. The Dnsmasq author has a patched version available.

1. On Hardy, download and install the attached dhcp3-client dummy package:
 % sudo dpkg -i dhcp3-client-dummy_3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9_all.deb
and then put it on hold:
 % sudo aptitude hold dhcp3-client
On Intrepid, remove the dhcp3-client package and permit ubuntu-minimal to also 
get removed (or build your own dummy package using the equivs package).

2. Install udhcpc:
 % sudo aptitude install udhcpc

3. Add your virtual interface to /etc/network/interfaces, while also
adding unique hostname and client arguments for both. The client
identifiers can match the corresponding host names or be any other
reasonable string, as long as they are not used by any other DHCP
clients on your network.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
  hostname primary-host
  client primary-client-id

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet dhcp
  hostname virtual-host
  client virtual-client-id

4. Restart the network subsystem:
 % sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

provide), rather than a specific package. (Of course on Hardy that won't 
fix the dhcdbd dependency. I'm guessing that means dhcp3 is probably the 
only client Network Manager knows how to control.)

I'm also wondering if uninstalling dhcp3-client was even necessary. I
noticed when I installed udhcpc that it didn't cause any conflicts, even
though it ought to have conflicted with another package providing
dhcp-client. Either udhcpc isn't correctly tagged as providing
dhcp-client, or the two can peacefully coexist.

Looks like dhcpcd has dhcp-client listed as a conflict, while udhcpc 
doesn't. Given that they all are driven by the sane interfaces config 
file, I'd expect there to be conflicts. I'd like to understand better 
how that works. Is each overwriting the other's ifupdown scripts? Is 
there a common script with a bunch of -x tests to see which binaries are 
present?


 I did test and confirm that dhcpcd=1:3.2.3-1.1 does work on alias
 interfaces on intrepid.

Unfortunately this doesn't work on Hardy with dhcpcd=1:3.0.17-2:

# init.d/networking restart 
   * Reconfiguring network interfaces...
Error, eth0: dhcpcd not running
dhcpcd.sh: interface eth0 has been configured with new IP=192.168.0.203
  * Stopping NTP server ntpd
...done.
  * Starting NTP server ntpd
...done.
Error, eth0:1: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
Failed to bring up eth0:1.
[...]
...done.

Looks like the usual failure, though in a bit different format than what 
ifconfig produces, suggesting it is making its own syscalls, and they're 
failing in the kernel code. At least it positively states that it failed 
to bring up the interface (confirmed), unlike dhcp3-client.


A second look at the interfaces man page shows that the DHCP
configuration directives there are supported by udhcpc in addition to
dhcpcd. I hadn't noticed that before, and the udhcpc documentation omits
to mention it (should probably file a bug for that).

Given that udhcpc spits out warnings, but did appear to work when
invoked directly on Hardy, I'm going to try that next.

Hurray, it finally worked:

to behave

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

2009-04-08 Thread Tom Metro
Here's the summary how how to work around this bug:

First, if you're using Dnsmasq on the server-side you might run into Bug
#327703. The Dnsmasq author has a patched version available.

1. On Hardy, download and install the attached dhcp3-client dummy package:
 % sudo dpkg -i dhcp3-client-dummy_3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9_all.deb
and then put it on hold:
 % sudo aptitude hold dhcp3-client
On Intrepid, remove the dhcp3-client package and permit ubuntu-minimal to also 
get removed (or build your own dummy package using the equivs package).

2. Install udhcpc:
 % sudo aptitude install udhcpc

3. Add your virtual interface to /etc/network/interfaces, while also
adding unique hostname and client arguments for both. The client
identifiers can match the corresponding host names or be any other
reasonable string, as long as they are not used by any other DHCP
clients on your network.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
  hostname primary-host
  client primary-client-id

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet dhcp
  hostname virtual-host
  client virtual-client-id

4. Restart the network subsystem:
 % sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

[Bug 357518] [NEW] udhcpc doesn't set hostname in doscover packet

2009-04-08 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

When invoking udhcpc (0.9.8cvs20050303-2 on Ubuntu 8.04) via
/etc/network/interfaces, it appears as if it does not send the host name
in the discover packet, as occurs with dhcp3-client and dhcpcd.

I haven't confirmed this with a packet sniffer, but my DHCP server
behaved as if this was the case (it assigned a dynamic IP address rather
than matching a rule to assign a static address based on the supplied
host name). Modifying /etc/network/interfaces to include a hostname
argument appeared to resolve the problem.

(I ran across this while developing a work around for Bug #351378.)

[Bug 357522] [NEW] udhcpc man page should reference /etc/network/interfaces

2009-04-08 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

While using udhcpc as a replacement for dhcp3-client to work around a
bug (Bug #351378), I was heading down the path of creating a custom up
script to invoke udhcpc directly when I happened to notice in the DHCP
section of the interfaces man page that it supported udhcpc. The
connection between udhcpc and  /etc/network/interfaces should be made
more explicit by adding a reference to it in the udhcpc man page. (And
this should be pushed upstream to Debian.)

[Bug 356800] [NEW] ifconfig fails to initiaize a virtual interface with a zero IP address

2009-04-06 Thread Tom Metro
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: net-tools

ifconfig in net-tools 1.60-19ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 8.04) and 1.60-19ubuntu3
(Ubuntu 8.10) fails to initialize a virtual interface to a zero (0 or
0.0.0.0) IP address:

% sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 inet 0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

This behavior apparently used to work and is depended upon by several
DHCP packages, including the default dhcp3, and udhcp, as the way they
instantiate or reset the virtual interface to a deconfigured state prior
to obtaining a configuration via DHCP.

See Bug  #351378 for the full context of the problem and a strace of the
failure.

That may be partly right. I see /sbin/dhclient-script contains the
comment:

# The alias handling in here probably still sucks. -mdz

and there's clearly evidence that it is attempting to support virtual
interfaces:

if [ -n $alias_ip_address ]; then

But real problem seems to be that the script contains lines like:

ifconfig $interface inet 0 up

and the current version of ifconfig spits out those errors when a
virtual interface is set to a zero IP address. The evidence suggests
that this worked at one time. In fact, multiple DHCP packages seem to
expect this operation to work. I recently tried udhcpc and got familiar
results:

# udhcpc --hostname=indianpoint --interface=eth0:0

In this case the error is triggered when udhcpc tries to deconfigure
the interface before it configures it, but it happily ignores the error.

I'm wondering if one workaround might be to modify the scripts to do:
ifconfig $interface down
if $interface is virtual. (It seems dhclient-script already contains code to 
detect virtual interfaces.) I presume there is a reason why deconfiguring an 
interface is normally performed instead of downing it. (I'm guessing it might 
make a difference if you were running other networking protocols in addition to 
IP.) The distinction may be irrelevant for a virtual interface, or just for the 
vast majority of use cases.

Running:
ip addr del $IP dev eth0:0

seems to work too, but has the effect of bringing down the virtual
interface and you need extra code to obtain the current IP address
(passing in a zero does nothing).

Before a permanent fix can be determined, it needs to be understood
whether this represents a bug in ifconfig, or an intentional change in
its behavior. I'm thinking of opening up a ticket against ifconfig that
this bug can be dependent on.


 If you don't use this script, those errors go away.

But is that a practical option? Doesn't the script provide a pile of

Patching the script seems more viable.


 I can't find any mention in the source of supporting virtual/alias

The code in dhclient-script is enough to convince me that it was the
intention to support virtual interfaces. I'm pretty sure I've read
reports that they used to work prior to Ubuntu 8.04.


 I did test and confirm that dhcpcd=1:3.2.3-1.1 does work on alias interfaces 
 on intrepid.

Is it a drop-in replacement that works with the rest of the existing
infrastructure in Ubuntu, like /etc/network/interfaces?

My next step was going to be using the 'up' argument in an interface
stanza for a physical interface to call udhcpc to configure a virtual
interface. It looks like this will work, but using something that works
with the normal documented way of declaring virtual interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces is preferable.

Ah, right. You're probably right.

The dhclient.conf(5) man page also mentions pseudo interfaces, which 
sounds a lot like virtual interfaces:

   Under some circumstances it can be useful to declare a
   pseudo-interface and have the DHCP client acquire a configuration for
   that interface.  ... A pseudo-interface is just another state machine
   running on the interface named real-name, with its own lease and its
   own state.

It also notes:

   You must also provide a separate client script for the

If by that they mean your script will be ran in place of 
/sbin/dhclient-script, then that would be some more evidence supporting 
your point that /sbin/dhclient-script doesn't support virtual 
interfaces, as is.


 Patching the script seems more viable.
 
 The script does provide a lot of glue, but working around it as a

 and what errors are coming from the program itself.

I guess I was already pretty convinced that the source of the errors was 
ifconfig, given that the error can be reproduced external to dhclient 
and it's scripts by invoking ifconfig directly using the same arguments. 
The next questions is: is ifconfig broken, or is the manner in which 
dhclient is calling it broken?


 I don't believe patching the script will do you any good until the
 'Bind socket to interface: No such device' error from dhclient is
 resolved...

My assumption was that this was simply a side effect of the 
deconfigure step failing, which results in the virtual interface never 
being created, and thus dhclient has no device to work with.

This can be resolved by either 1. patching the code so that it 
instantiates the virtual interface in a deconfigured state, or 2. 
special casing virtual interfaces so that the physical interface gets 
used for the DHCP handshake, while the specified virtual interface is 
used for the resulting call to ifconfig. (Apparently the latter happens 
with udhcpc.)


 Removing dhcp3-client (which removed ubuntu-minimal)...

Removing ubuntu-minimal sounds like something to be avoided, but there

 In fact the error code is generated when /sbin/ifconfig is invoked to

This suggests both problems likely have a common underlying cause. My
research shows that /sbin/ifconfig, being invoked by dhclient, is also
the culprit here. (See comments below.)

This may also mean that this bug should be reclassified as being against
the net-tools package instead of dhcp3.

 Manually assigned aliases (ifconfig eth0:2 $ip) do show up

Although I don't have dhcpcd installed, I've observed similar results
with dhclient, where it fails to configure the interface, but invoking
ifconfig directly with a static address works.

This gives some hope for a possible workaround hack. I'm thinking in
/etc/network/interfaces one could invoke a script using the 'up'
argument for the main (real) interface, which then would invoke dhclient
in some fashion or maybe using a simpler DHCP client like udhcpc that
returns an IP address to a shell variable, and then invokes ifconfig,
passing the address. It would have limitations, like requiring perpetual
leases (I think, as there would be no process left running to handle an
expired lease).

While a MAC address is often used as the default way to identify a DHCP
client, the DHCP client can optionally supply other identifying
information. For example, this theoretically correct (untested, due to
this bug) stanza from /etc/network/interfaces specifies that when the
DHCP client requests an address for the virtual interface that it
identifies itself with the alternate host name, indianpoint.

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet dhcp
  hostname indianpoint

Being able to use DHCP on virtual interfaces is highly desirable in
order to keep maintenance to a minimum, especially if you are using an
integrated DHCP/DNS service, like Dnsmasq. In that case the act of
requesting an address with the alternate host name will automatically
generate a corresponding DNS A-record for that hast name. Thus DNS
requires far less central administration.

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

2009-03-31 Thread Tom Metro
Attached is an archive containing the output of:

Some interesting bits include:

From dhclient.strace.9271-avahi-autoipd:

directory)

write(2, \n, 1)   = 1
exit_group(1)   = ?


That avahi-autoipd is trying to access /var/run/avahi-autoipd.eth0:0.pid may be 
by design, or may be a bug. I don't know enough about avahi to know whether it 
normally has a separate daemon running for each interface, and if so, whether 
that should apply to virtual interfaces.

I saw a similar error in some of the messages output by dhclient, where
it was trying to create a PID file for itself that incorporated the
virtual device name. Again, should it be running a separate instance of
the daemon for each virtual interface?

This call to ifconfig seems to be the source of the errors. I'm puzzled how you 
can get an EACCES error on a newly created socket while running as root, if 
SELinux or AppArmor isn't involved (as far as I'm aware).

If I run the above command directly:

# /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 inet 0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

Sure enough, same results. Using 0.0.0.0 also fails, but substitute a
real IP address for the zero placeholder and we get:

# /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 inet 192.168.0.210 up
# ifconfig
[...]
eth0:0Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:61:4b:d1:33  
  inet addr:192.168.0.210  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  Interrupt:16 
[...]


It seems the EACCES error is incorrect and misleading, and the call should 
instead return an error indicating that the address is invalid.

I'm assuming dhclient is calling ifconfig in this fashion in order to
create the virtual device, and if successful, is going to go back after
obtaining an IP address via DHCP and update the interface.

I gather some internals in ifconfig or the kernel changed.

 Please file new bugs for these different problems.

This seems like a good suggestion.

This bug deals with virtual interfaces triggering a SIOCSIFFLAGS:
Cannot assign requested address warning, while still succeeding, and
can be remedied by removing or patching the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
/wireless-tools file.

I've created Bug #351378 to track the issue where DHCP fails to work for
a virtual interface, when a DHCP client is used directly, or indirectly
via the /etc/network/interfaces config file, and is unaffected by the
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools file.

The two bugs may have a common underlying cause, but superficially they
have different symptoms.

 In fact the error code is generated when /sbin/ifconfig is invoked to
 bring up an alias (like eth0:0) interface.

This suggests both problems likely have a common underlying cause. My
research shows that /sbin/ifconfig, being invoked by dhclient, is also
the culprit here. (See comments below.)

This may also mean that this bug should be reclassified as being against
the net-tools package instead of dhcp3.

 Manually assigned aliases (ifconfig eth0:2 $ip) do show up
 in ifconfig listings just as they should.

Although I don't have dhcpcd installed, I've observed similar results
with dhclient, where it fails to configure the interface, but invoking
ifconfig directly with a static address works.

This gives some hope for a possible workaround hack. I'm thinking in
/etc/network/interfaces one could invoke a script using the 'up'
argument for the main (real) interface, which then would invoke dhclient
in some fashion or maybe using a simpler DHCP client like udhcpc that
returns an IP address to a shell variable, and then invokes ifconfig,
passing the address. It would have limitations, like requiring perpetual
leases (I think, as there would be no process left running to handle an
expired lease).

 ...makes me think that you may not be able use dhcp on virtual interfaces
 since the mac address would be the same as all the other virtual interfaces
 on that same parent, and the same as the parent itself.

While a MAC address is often used as the default way to identify a DHCP
client, the DHCP client can optionally supply other identifying
information. For example, this theoretically correct (untested, due to
this bug) stanza from /etc/network/interfaces specifies that when the
DHCP client requests an address for the virtual interface that it
identifies itself with the alternate host name, indianpoint.

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet dhcp
  hostname indianpoint

Being able to use DHCP on virtual interfaces is highly desirable in
order to keep maintenance to a minimum, especially if you are using an
integrated DHCP/DNS service, like Dnsmasq. In that case the act of
requesting an address with the alternate host name will automatically
generate a corresponding DNS A-record for that hast name. Thus DNS
requires far less central administration.

[Bug 338785] Re: Update to 3.0.7 breaks firefox

2009-03-10 Thread Tom Metro
Added link to upstream bug.

To summarize the upstream ticket, the problem is a side effect of the
version upgrade process. Restarting FF will work around the problem. I'd
infer from that, that the problem lies in the packaging, and not with
the upstream project.

One of the duplicate tickets here contains a developer comment stating
that this isn't an easy problem to resolve.

Although the current upgrade process does include a user notification
that a FF restart is required, maybe a stop-gap solution would be to
make that notification more forceful and intrusive, prompting the user
to restart FF immediately before continuing to use it.

 Marking as invalid.

If you are stipulating that this is a different bug from the upstream

[Bug 338785] Re: Update to 3.0.7 breaks firefox

2009-03-08 Thread Tom Metro

don't have adequate privileges to do that, given that several other bugs
are marked as duplicates of this one.
