Bug#860264: ifquery behaviour
# grep auto /etc/network/interfaces auto lo # grep hotplug /etc/network/interfaces allow-hotplug enp0s31f6 # ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo # as in unit file # # ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo --allow auto # # ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo --allow hotplug enp0s31f6 But if I convert enp0s31f6 to auto # grep /etc/network/interfaces auto lo auto enp0s31f6 # ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo --allow hotplug # (as expected) # ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo --allow auto enp0s31f6 # ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo enp0s31f6 So with the interface set to auto, the ifquery in the unit file picks it up. With the interface set to allow-hotplug, it doesn't. I think this is part of the puzzle, but there is more to it. I think that there are some issues arising from how ifupdown and systemd (fail to) communicate about when exactly the network interface is fully up and working (particularly in the dhcp case). If you look at the work that has gone into ifupdown since the stretch release, it seems like there are some issues there that have now, hopefully, been resolved. Kind regards Vince

It turns out there was a similar bug against openssh which was closed as wontfix [1]. I don't see how apache can do anything about this, either. But I disagree with the systemd maintainers that there is nothing that systemd can do about this. They should credit the entropy loaded from the seed but save a new seed immediately after reading it during startup, to avoid that the same seed is used more than once. A second (but worse) alternative would be to provide something that waits for the RNG to be initialized that other services can depend on.

Bug#916510: linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64: Absolutely no video output after i915 module is initialized
Package: src:linux Version: 4.18.20-2 Severity: important The system boots up, everything is OK until the DRM module is loaded. At that time the screen goes black, and there's no going back. Switching to console using Ctrl+F1 / Ctrl+Alt+F1 brings back the text mode screen, but it remains invisible. Not surprised as based on dmesg, the i915 module panics because of a NULL pointer dereference. The system is working, just a "poweroff" command leads to a crash (presumed, as nothing is visible, the HW is not turned off, but does not respond). The GPU is Intel HD Graphics (Ironlake), the "first" generation, integrated in Arrandale, also going by the name GMA5700MHD. linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64 (4.18.10-2+b1) works like a charm.

Bug#756170: mount option timeo - in deciseconds, or seconds?
I think this report is incorrect. If you agree, please close it. If not, please offer some evidence for your belief. My evidence is below. I looked in the upstream git of nfs-utils. The 'deciseconds' has been in there since the start of git history (2007, commit id 16db99b56a532bf56fa27618a6ef30763cd9006f). There is no direct use of the 'timeo' field of the NFS data structure in nfs-utils so we have to look at the kernel code. In linux/fs/nfs/client.c there is this function /* * Initialise the timeout values for a connection */ void nfs_init_timeout_values(struct rpc_timeout *to, int proto, int timeo, int retrans) { to->to_initval = timeo * HZ / 10; ... which is called from this function in the same module static int nfs_init_server(struct nfs_server *server, const struct nfs_parsed_mount_data *data, struct nfs_subversion *nfs_mod) { struct rpc_timeout timeparms; struct nfs_client_initdata cl_init = { .hostname = data->nfs_server.hostname, .addr = (const struct sockaddr *)>nfs_server.address, .addrlen = data->nfs_server.addrlen, .nfs_mod = nfs_mod, .proto = data->nfs_server.protocol, .net = data->net, .timeparms = , }; struct nfs_client *clp; int error; nfs_init_timeout_values(, data->nfs_server.protocol, data->timeo, data->retrans); if (data->flags & NFS_MOUNT_NORESVPORT) set_bit(NFS_CS_NORESVPORT, _init.init_flags); I think this makes it reasonably clear 'timeo' is in deciseconds, although the manpage could take a few words to explain how it comes to use that peculiar unit. Kind regards Vince
