Bug#1069235: diff -r cannot properly display a filename containing an escape sequence and garbles the screen

2024-04-18 Thread Al Ma
Package: diffutils
Version: 1:3.8-4
Create two directories: empty A and B containing 'e9'$'\033''[H' .  Then, from 
an xterm:
$ ls A B
A:
B:
'e9'$'\033''[H'
$ diff -r A B
Nur in B: e9
After this prefix of the file name, the cursor jumps to the second line of the 
used console from above and the output continues from there. Instead, we expect 
the file name to be dispayed fully and the cursor go to the next line after the 
file name.


Bug#1068567: intalling djview-plugin pulls in the transitional package iceweasel though firefox-esr is installed

2024-04-07 Thread Al Ma
Package: djview-plugin
Version: 4.11-1
On the current debian 12 stable „bookworm“ with firefox-esr 
115.9.1esr-1~deb12u1, we get
$ sudo aptitude install djview-plugin
The following NEW packages will be installed:
djview-plugin iceweasel{a}
Iceweasel 115.9.1esr-1~deb10u1 is a transitional package these days that pulls 
in firefox-esr.
Is djview-plugin still functional with the relatively new firefox-esr, or does 
djview-plugin indeed require a browser from the times of the real iceweasel, 
before June 2016? In the first case, adapt the dependencies. In the second, 
remove the defunct djview-plugin from Debian.


Bug#1067549: Support arithmetic-encoded JPEGs

2024-03-23 Thread Al Ma
Package: firefox-esr
Version: 115.9.0esr-1~deb12u1
Severity: wishlist
In the upstream issue report on this, 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680385 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680385, the last statement 38 
contains “webp probably compresses just as well if not better”. This is 
extremely wrong in my tests for a file of mine. As I don't have sufficient 
rights in bugzilla, I ask someone who has sufficient rights to comment there 
and, if possible, reopen the upstream issue report.
Here's my test. My original file, a nonpublic (sorry about that) portrait 
photograph, is of size 1483651 bytes. The goal was to compress it as much as 
possible with GIMP in 1 pass such that the face is still recognizable; we allow 
color artifacts and a heavily rasterized image. Here are the test results (the 
first column is the size in bytes, the second column is the format and the 
settings used for saving):
35623 JPEG, 4:2:0 subsampling, integers
35619 JPEG, 4:2:0 subsampling, float-point numbers
35618 JPEG, 4:2:0 subsampling, fast integers
35254 JPEG, 4:2:0 subsampling, full aliasing, integers
35252 JPEG, 4:2:0 subsampling, full aliasing, float-point numbers
35248 JPEG, 4:2:0 subsampling, full aliasing, fast integers
25656 WEBP, Photo
25484 WEBP, Picture
25364 WEBP, Default
25342 WEBP, Drawing
20720 WEBP, Icon
20720 WEBP, Text
7892 JPEG, arithmetic encoding, 4:2:0 subsampling, full aliasing, integers
7891 JPEG, arithmetic encoding, 4:2:0 subsampling, full aliasing, 
floating-point numbers
7879 JPEG, arithmetic encoding, 4:2:0 subsampling, full aliasing, fast integers
Of course, we used quality 0 in all places.
As we see, the smallest JPEG file created with the arithmetic encoding blows
- the smallest file created with a WEBP encoding by a factor of around 2.6 and
- the smallest JPEG file created without the arithmetic encoding by a factor of 
around 4.5.
Also, both epiphany-browser and chromium do show this smallest file created 
with the arithmetic encoding (and the face on the compressed image is still 
recognizable).
In my view, both news together (astonishing file-size ratios and support in 
other browsers) is sufficient at least to reopen the issue report closed 4 
years ago (regardless of how to resolve this and who would do this).


Bug#1064068: font-manager shows the older version of two versions of the same font and prints “Fontconfig error: No writable cache directories” on the console

2024-02-16 Thread Al Ma
Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.14.1-4
Control: affects -1 font-manager
For the purpose of this bug report, let's assume you have two versions of the 
same font, say, Courier New (the real name is probably irrelevant, as we only 
need the same name):
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/cour.ttf
/usr/local/share/fonts/link_to_a_directory_on_a_nonroot_drive/cour.ttf
The tool gnome-font-viewer reports v2.82 for the first font file and a larger 
version for the second font file. The tool font-manager reports also v2.82 for 
Courier New. So a file with a larger version is ignored. This is not good and 
should be improved: whenever two versions of the same font are available, the 
larger one should be taken.
Upon starting the font-manager, we see 4 equal lines “Fontconfig error: No 
writable cache directories” on the console without further information.
Running
# fc-cache -r && fc-cache -fv && dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig fontconfig-cache
font-manager didn't help, and /var/log/syslog and dmesg show, subjectively, 
nothing of interest for this bug report.

2023-10-20 Thread Al Ma
Dear Hilmar,
Thank you for a quick answer. Note that the version of the package NewTX (most 
likely, 1.726 (cf. https://ctan.org/pkg/newtx), since all the mentioned bugs 
are repaired, whereas it was not the case for a few immediately preceeding 
versions) deviates from the version of the file newtx.sty (namely, still 
1.724). My question concerns the version of the whole NewTX package and not the 
versions of the constituent files. (Since you wrote that the present bug report 
1051497 is repaired, I highly believe you that you put 1.726 into 
texlive-fonts-extra, and what I'd like to know is how to check this in the 
future.)
Cheers,
AlMa.

Thank you! Now all the mentioned bugs seem to be repaired.
How to find out the NewTX version shipped with Debian texlive-fonts-extra? 
Running locate newtx | xargs grep -r "1\.726" returns nothing from the 
system-wide directories.
(Running tlmgr info newtx as a normal user yields no results, and I don't know 
whether running this command as root would break anything.)


Bug#1051497: Please upgrade NewTX to 1.726 2023-08-25

2023-09-11 Thread Al Ma
Alright, got it. Thanks! I simply wanted to make you aware that there's a need 
for an upgrade of specifically NewTX to a specific version (as compared to 
upgrades of other LaTeX packages or to an upgrade of NewTX to prior or 
yet-to-appear versions) because, as fas as I tested so far (around 1000 pages 
through `pdflatex` and `latex`), this version of NewTX is probably relatively 
free of issues (as compared to other versions of NewTX or other LaTeX packages 
you might wish to upgrade). Gratefully, AlMa

Please upgrade NewTX to 1.726 (dated 2023-08-25).  The following two problems 
are resolved there simultenaously:
Two letters ij are not combined into the digraph ij; cf.

bearings of the double-struck Latin capital letters; cf.

Bug#1041494: diffpdf: changes to zoom for small documents (⩽ 19 pages in at least one file) don't take effect on ↩

2023-09-07 Thread Al Ma
retitle 1041494 diffpdf: changes to zoom for small documents (⩽ 19 pages in at 
least one file) don't take effect on ↩
thanks
You have to take small documents to reproduce this CLEANLY.  Presumably at 
least one of the two compared PDF files must have at most 19 pages to reproduce 
this cleanly.  E.g., run pdflatex on one file containing
\documentclass[ngerman]{article} \usepackage{babel} 
\usepackage[bible]{blindtext} \begin{document} \Blindtext[87] \end{document}
and then run pdflatex on another file containing
\documentclass[ngerman]{article} \usepackage{babel} 
\usepackage[random]{blindtext} \begin{document} \Blindtext[49] \end{document}
and diffpdf the results.
If each of the compared PDF files has at least 20 pages, another bug kicks in, 
namely, http://bugs.debian.org/1051422 http://bugs.debian.org/1051422. In 
short, the function of the zoom field is very broken; please repair this.

Bug#1049912: FWD: Please upgrade soul to v3.0 or higher

2023-08-16 Thread Al Ma
Package: texlive-plain-generic

As of now, the following input produces wrong formatting (cf.

\documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{xcolor} \selectcolormodel{rgb} 
\usepackage{soul} \begin{document} Please, highlight \hl{this small text}. 
\end{document}
Output attached: mwe_48501.png.

Both issues have been solved upstream; I've just tested soul 2023-06-14 v3.1.  
According to my old log files, even soul v3.0 might work.  We kindly ask for an 
upgrade of the soul package, preferrably into Debian 12.2. Though this is not 
urgent, I'd personally welcome an upgrade very much (because these issues 
prevent recompilation of my old sources with TeX Live from Debian stable, and 
recompiling my old sources with the current upstream TeXLive 2023 doesn't work 
properly for different reasons (NewTX is partially broken; cf. 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693396)).

After having run
System Update (which upgraded IME Software) made by Lenovo and Windows Update

2023-08-03 Thread Al Ma
Thanks for looking into this. The solid-state–memory device in question is 
Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB, S/N:…, FW:2B2QEXE7, 1.00 TB. It's no longer sold on 
samsung.com but still sold as new on amazon (ASIN B07CGJNLBB; the Web site says 
it has been sold there since April 24, 2018). So yes, given the dates in 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express#Specifications 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express#Specifications, the drive might be 
aware of the NVMe 1.2 or 1.3 specification but, again hypothetically, not 1.4 
or even 2.0. I wouldn't know how to check this, and firmware upgrades seem 
unavailable ( https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/

Bug#1042793: tracker-…: Failed to create location for error reports: Keine Berechtigung

2023-07-31 Thread Al Ma
Package: tracker-extract
Version: 3.4.3-1
Control: affects -1 tracker-miner-fs
In the journal of the currently stable Debian 12 we find a yellow warning 
“tracker-extract[…]: Failed to create location for error reports: Keine 
Berechtigung”, where “Keine Berechtigung” is German for “no permission” or “no 
rights”.  A bit later, the same wording is reproduced by tracker-miner-fs: 
“tracker-miner-f[…]: Failed to create location for error reports: Keine 
Berechtigung”.  See the attached excerpt from the journal.  These warnings are 
produced at boot time, and “Failed to create location for error reports: Keine 
Berechtigung” are yellow in the output of journalctl -b.  There are some 
high-level problems that the computer faces which may or may not be related 
(e.g., #1040497, evince no longer saves the prior searches, really last-used 
files do not always show up in the list of the last used files, …; I plan to 
report the new issues separately).  If, for each occurrence of the offending 
message, the location that allegedly can't be created is so standard that it 
can be made public, we'd like to see it in the journal so that we can manually 
check whether it should be created at all (and if it should, whether the 
permissions are indeed insufficient).  So as for now we simply wish for a more 
verbose error message if possible. (Later, other, higher-level bug reports may 
follow.) I run gdm3+gnome.
(I manually anonymize the stuff I post, so the attached data are terse. If 
anyone asks for (more) lines of a particular log or file, I'll try to do my 
best.)

Bug#1026965: ACPI Error: Needed [Integer/String/Buffer], found [Package] … (0x3003)

2023-07-31 Thread Al Ma
As for Lenovo T14s I manage, it's of type 20T1 (in particular, not the one you 
linked); its BIOS version is 1.26, released 12/14/2022. The firmware revision 
is 1.14.  No further BIOS upgrade is available for this very laptop as of now.  
(A new Intel Management Engine Software for Windows has been released three 
days ago; I'm planning to install it next month and report here if anything 
changes.)
If you wish to know user-visible problems (rather than the journal-visible 
problems), there are many; I'm going to report them, too. (One step at a time.)
As of today, the errors and warnings are a tiny bit different:
ACPI Error: Needed [Integer/String/Buffer], found [Package] e1607619 
(20220331/exresop-469)
ACPI Error: AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE, While resolving operands for [OpcodeName 
unavailable] (20220331/dswexec-431)
ACPI Error: Aborting method \ADBG due to previous error (AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE) 
(20220331/psparse-529)
ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.HIDD._DSM due to previous error 
(AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE) (20220331/psparse-529)
(the four lines above are red)
ACPI: \_SB_.HIDD: failed to evaluate _DSM b356ecee-4244-8f40-a792-4edd4d758054 
(0x3003)
(the line above is orange)
Thanks for the URL https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo 
https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo;  I plan to yell there if the next 
update/upgrade from Lenovo brings no change.

Bug#1042237: “BPF: Invalid name” occurs on all machines I looked into

2023-07-31 Thread Al Ma
I now checked the last machine I manage and saw similar messages having 
occurred when unattended-upgrades upgraded linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64:amd64 and 
linux-image-amd64:amd64 from version 6.1.38-1 to version 6.1.38-2. The prefix 
of /var/log/kern.log up to the BPF-related messages and slightly beyond them is 
attached.  (I cannot attach full-length journals because I'd have to anonymize 
them, and anonymizing means, as a partial step, taking a look at each line. As 
the logs generally contain many thousands of lines, I am unable to look through 
all of them carefully; I can attach only a portion I am able to scroll through 
as long as I am able to maintain full concentration.)
Gratefully,

Bug#1042719: “colord-sane[…]: io/hpmud/musb.c 2101: Invalid usb_open: Permission denied” is missing the description of the USB port

2023-07-30 Thread Al Ma
Package: libhpmud0
Version: 3.22.10+dfsg0-2
Control: affects -1 hplip hplip-data colord
In my journal I discovered an error
colord-sane[1000]: io/hpmud/musb.c 2101: Invalid usb_open: Permission denied
The part “io/hpmud/musb.c 2101: Invalid usb_open: Permission denied” is red. 
The message appears during boot; a hopefully relevant part of the journal is 
attached. The computer has many USB-A ports, and by default lots of stuff is 
connected to them (a mouse, a keyboard, an HP printer, an HP all-in-one (used 
only as a scanner), and sometimes an external USB thumb drive; the printer and 
the scanner usually sleep or are off at boot).  It would be great if we could 
see an indication of which port was tried to get opened (the identifier of the 
USB port is unlikely to be a privacy concern) because connecting and 
disconnecting stuff and rebooting for the purpose of debugging may be 
difficult. (In my special case, plugging/unplugging the cables on the 
particular computer is physically tedious, and rebooting takes lots of time. 
Other folks might find rebooting difficult, e.g., in case of highly available 
servers.)
Further, the red message is unlikely to be a hardware bug because all devices 
seem to work to the extent of my knowledge with Windows (the printer and the 
scanner seem to work once you awake them from sleep or turn them on).  The fact 
that certain devices are connected to the computer and are simply asleep does 
not constitute a user error warranting red color but is normal behavior and 
should be treated as such. Of course, also the permissions of the USB device in 
the file system might be wrong for whatever reason. So I speculate that the red 
message is likely to be a software issue. I can't speculate further without 
better error reporting.
The package colord in version 1.4.6-2.2 is installed.
Nitpickung for hard-boiled purists: `if (hd == NULL)` in musb.c should be 
simplified to `if(!hd)`. 

Bug#1003965: Processed: upgrading linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64 leads to “BPF: Invalid name”

2023-07-27 Thread Al Ma
Ben, I wonder why you merged #1042237 and #1003965. The BPF messages coincide 
in the almost empty lines “[…] BPF:” and coincide up to spacing in “[…] BPF: 
Invalid name”. The coincidences seem to end here. Some of the remaining “[…] 
BPF: …” lines are similar but, strictly speaking, different. Moreover, in 
#1042237 these mesages have been read from the console, whereas in #1003965, 
they have been taken from the kernel log. Further, in #1042237 no information 
about any modules is printed, whereas in #1003965, a bunch of modules seems to 
get not validated and not being able to load. Finally, #1042237 occured during 
kernel upgrade only once (and has NOT re-occurred so far AFAIK during boot), 
which might indicate a problem at kernel upgrades, whereas #1003965 occured 
during boot.
Gratefully,
AlMa


Bug#1041749: “/usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[…]: (WW) Warning, couldn't open module ast” followed by “/usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[968]: (EE) Failed to load module "ast" (module does not exist, 0)”

2023-07-22 Thread Al Ma
Package: gdm3
Version: 43.0-3
The machine in question has two graphic chips:
- ASPEED AST2500 64MB built into the motherboard and
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti PCIe graphics card.
The ASPEED chip (/dev/dri/card0) has only a VGA port; nothing is connected to 
this D-SUB port. The NVIDIA card (/dev/dri/card1) has lots of ports; a properly 
functioning monitor Philips 275B1 is connected to the DisplayPort of the card, 
and the other ports are empty.
In the journal we see a warning and an error written there during boot:
/usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[…]: (WW) Warning, couldn't open module ast
/usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[…]: (EE) Failed to load module "ast" (module does 
not exist, 0)
>From a user's viewpoint, there's probably no error here and nothing to warn 
>about here, since the absence of anything connected to the VGA D-SUB port is 
>fine as long as a functioning monitor is connected elsewhere (in our case, to 
>the graphics card). I tried to specify the monitor as a command-line argument 
>“video=DP-1:2560x1440R”; does this help or can this even be improved?
If the (WW) and (EE) lines occur for a different reason than the absense of 
anything connected to the VGA D-SUB port, the reason should be visible in the 
journal (but it's not)!
The machine has other, related issues (cf. #1040497), which, hypothetically, 
may (or may not) interplay with this one.
The relevant parts of the journal and of the lshw and lspci outputs are 
attached.
By the way, after boot and after gdm3+gnome started, the module ast turns out 
to be even loaded (probably, for no good reason!):
# lsmod | grep ast
ast                    61440  1

Bug#1037449: colord[…]: failed to get edid data: EDID length is too small

2023-07-22 Thread Al Ma
In the meantime, systemd and udev have been upgraded to version 
252.12-1~deb12u1 on a similar (but not identical) computer running Debian 12 
stable. There, this message seems to be unconnected to printers (because no 
printer is physically attached, and the only network printer is off). The 
relevant portion of the log is attached. I have not noticed any color issues so 
far. (Exception: my network printer – usually and now it's turned off – runs 
out of ink from time to time, but Linux knows nothing about this.)
Gratefully,

advertises some features that the driver doesn't know how to use.  Perhaps, 
it's time to upgrade the driver?  Or is the aforementioned yellow message a 
real warning for me as an admin or a user, and I should take some action?

Bug#1041743: Thx!

2023-07-22 Thread Al Ma
Ben, thank you for a quick reply! Issue created: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/246 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/246. There I wonder: if the 
message is purely informational, it probably better really not be yellow (and 
thus warn the user because yellow means, AFAIK, a warning) but light-gray–white 
as usual.

Bug#1041745: smartd[…]: Device: /dev/nvme0, number of Error Log entries increased from … to …

2023-07-22 Thread Al Ma
Package: linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64
Version: 6.1.38-1
Control: affects -1 src:linux smartmontools
In the journal I see a red error message of the form “smartd[…]: Device: 
/dev/nvme0, number of Error Log entries increased from 푛 to 푛+1”.  I think the 
number 푛 increases on each boot. The relevant portion of the log is attached. 
Is this a problem of software, firmware, or hardware?  In plain English, what 
is the real error?  What to do to avoid whichever havoc might occur?
Gratefully,
AlMa

The errors in the journal still occur by default (i.e., without any options) 
with ASUS AX3000 Dual Band PCE-AX3000 Wi-Fi PCI-E Adapter. The relevant 
portions of the journal and lshw are attached. The line portions

options iwlwifi enable_ini=N
: is the type still boolean? In 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/iwlwifi.20220304131517.4929e4b14956.I1bdffa4c37d4ee349aa0001978b716b96e38b090@changeid/

 they tried to change it to integer, but I might be looking in a wrong place.  
Further, I'm feeling very uncomfortable about changing something I don't really 
understand (the option is not really documented) that should be done by the 
system itself (kernel or firmware). Whoever is responsible for the mess should 
also resolve it!

Bug#1041741: kernel: nvme nvme0: missing or invalid SUBNQN field.

2023-07-22 Thread Al Ma
Package: linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64
Version: 6.1.38-1
Control: affects -1 scr:linux
On an ASUS WS C422 PRO/SE with a Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB, I get a yellow kernel 
warning in the journal: “nvme nvme0: missing or invalid SUBNQN field.”  The 
relevant parts of the logs are attached. A software issue in the kernel or a 
firmware/hardware issue of the NVMe SSD? Anything to upgrade? I could run the 
software from https://www.samsung.com/de/support/model/MZ-V7E1T0BW , but the 
drivers there seem old, from year 2000, so I'm not sure whether they are of any 
help or would make things worse (and whether they upgrade the firmware at all 
or concern just Windows).
Gratefully,
AlMa

Raising severity because more than two machines are concerned. Though it's not 
urgent (or at least not urgent for me in any sense of the word) because 
currently I don't have that much RAM to populate all the slots, it's important 
to eventually remove the restriction because I'm quite sure that I am going to 
add RAM in the future. All my computers so far ended their lives with the 
maximal amount of RAM.

Bug#1041014: systemd-timesyncd: data collected by reportbug, new journal

2023-07-22 Thread Al Ma
Michael, thanks for taking a look. Last time I started 
/lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd directly as root from the command line was 
several days ago, way before the today upload of the new versions of systemd 
and systemd-timesyncd to stable. Back then, /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd did 
start, did not print anything and also did not terminate by itself. Hitting 
Ctrl+C killed/terminated it, leading me back to the usual bash prompt. Is this 
the expected behavior? If this behavior is still the same after the today 
upgrade, should I still run strace on the process and post the logs or do 
something else? (I'm going to check in a few days because I don't always have 
the laptop on which the bug occurs at my disposal.)
(Wild guess: Presumably, during the upgrade from Debian 11 to Debian 12 some 
important packages that should be installed in their amd64 versions could have 
hypothetically been installed, for whatever reason, in i386. This is something 
I observed today on a different machine during an otherwise uneventful, routine 
upgrade of dbus. I can try to check via `sudo dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ && $4 == 
"i386" { print }'`.)

Bug#1041736: aptitude: if package to be upgraded is not found, please search for the correct package name approximately

2023-07-22 Thread Al Ma
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-5
Severity: wishlist
Today I wanted to upgrade the pacakge sudo but made a typo:
# aptitude upgrade suo
Couldn't find any package whose name is "suo", but there are 4 packages which 
contain "suo" in their name:
golang-github-bmatsuo-lmdb-go-dev festvox-suopuhe-lj festvox-suopuhe-mv 
festvox-suopuhe-common
Unable to apply some actions, aborting
Clearly, neither of the suggestions of aptitude is anywhere close to my 
intention.  I propose that aptitude searches approximately, akin to what 
tre-agrep does, and suggests first packages whose names deviate by 1 character 
from the asked one, then by two characters, then by three, …, and stops after 
it has listed all the packages with the current number of deviations (and 
increases the admissible number of deviations if less than 4 packages have been 
found so far) or until the list of the known packages is exhausted, whichever 
comes first.

Bug#1041558: gsd-media-keys[…]: Unable to get default sink/source

2023-07-20 Thread Al Ma
Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 43.0-4
In my journal I see the following warnings:
Jul 20 04:44:36 AnonymizedMachineName gsd-media-keys[1263]: Unable to get

Jul 20 04:44:36 AnonymizedMachineName gsd-media-keys[1263]: Unable to get 
default source
The (hopefully, relevant) segment of the log is attached.
What do these warnings tell us?  Any bugs here?  The computer has no source and 
no sink, at least not in their everyday meanings.  Still, the computer exhibits 
other issues at boot, so I wonder what are we warned about here, which 
consequences do these warnings have, and how to avoid whichever trouble might 
be invited.

Bug#1041503: kernel: usb: port power management may be unreliable

2023-07-19 Thread Al Ma
Package: linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64
Version: 6.1.37-1
During boot the warning “kernel: usb: port power management may be unreliable” 
is printed yellow into the journal (see the attachment). I tried to plug in and 
unplug a mouse into all USB-A ports and an iPhone into all USB-C ports of the 
laptop and the docking station; each time I observed the output in the journal 
and found nothing power-related (see tried_empty_ports.log). A bunch of error 
messages occurred when I unplugged and plugged in the docking station itself. 
The first time I did this, I saw
upowerd[1000]: energy 52,50 bigger than full 52,02
in the journal. However, the second time I did this, the message has not 
reappeared (see tried_unplugging_and_plugging_in_the_docking_station.log).
My wish would be that for the computer at hand (laptop Lenovo ThinkPad T14s 
Gen1, connected to a docking station ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock Gen 
2/Workstation Dock Gen 2 Type 40 AN (which is powered by a 135 W AC Adapter 
ADL135NCC3A) and to a monitor Philips 275B1 via a HMDI cable), the kernel would 
be able to manage power reliably (and if it happens already now, the warning 
should be considered bogus and should not appear).

Bug#1041494: diffpdf: changes in a single digit in zoom don't take immediate effect

2023-07-19 Thread Al Ma
In my recollection of Debian 11, even changing a single digit in the Zoom field 
led to an immediate redraw, i.e., even before pressing ⏎.  So the current 
situation is double worse.
As of how it _should_ be, I think that whenever a keyboard is attached, only 
hitting [Enter] or moving the cursor (or, perhaps, the focus) elsewhere should 
incur a change in the view. If no real or virtual keyboard is attached (which 
is hard to imagine, but the world is huge), also changing a single digit should 
incur a change in the view.
Gratefully,
AlMa

Bug#1038981: capping maximum frequency no longer works in kernel 6.1

2023-06-23 Thread Al Ma
Package: linux-image-6.1.0-9-amd64
Version: 6.1.27-1
Below, I try to cap the frequency for each of my processor cores, but some 
cores resists:
# for i in `seq 0 7`; do echo "40"> 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq && cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq; done 42 44 
399989 230 230 230 400013 399519
Moreover, the cores that resist changes each time; e.g., the next run yields 
this:
# for i in `seq 0 7`; do echo "40"> 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq && cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq; done 400024 230 
42 400020 230 40 399930 48
I tried to read the frequency via /proc/cpuinfo:
# for i in `seq 0 7`; do echo "40"> 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq; done && cat 
/proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz cpu MHz : 400.001 cpu MHz : 399.989 cpu MHz : 2300.000 
cpu MHz : 400.107 cpu MHz : 1028.210 cpu MHz : 399.942 cpu MHz : 400.001 cpu 
MHz : 400.004
I also tried to use tlp (yes, I said TLP_DEFAULT_MODE=BAT, 
TLP_PERSISTENT_DEFAULT=1, CPU_BOOST_ON_BAT=0, and CPU_HWP_DYN_BOOST_ON_BAT=0) 
and sysfs packages; all methods yield the similar results: capping the 
frequency of all cores doesn't work. I tried to cap all at, say, 800 MHz, 1.2 
GHz, and 2 GHz instead, but the result is often (but not always!) the same: a 
few cores often (but not always!) resist and run at higher frequencies up to 
2.4 GHz. Only seldom I see the expected:
# for i in `seq 0 7`; do echo "40"> 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq; done && cat 
/proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz cpu MHz : 400.004 cpu MHz : 399.988 cpu MHz : 399.999 
cpu MHz : 400.011 cpu MHz : 399.980 cpu MHz : 400.048 cpu MHz : 400.002 cpu MHz 
: 400.008
But running cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz a few seconds later yields again a few 
lines with 2300.000.
The governor is powersave everywhere.
For kernel 5 with Debian 11 (which I can no longer test), everything worked 
like a charm (or at least I always observed all-400-MHz back then). So either 
the new kernel is erroneous or my processor broke somehow (perhaps, during the 
upgrade). It has Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10610U CPU @ 1.80GHz.
Who is the culprit? What to do?

Bug#1038914: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false is a double negation; replace it with GRUB_ENABLE_OS_PROBER=true

2023-06-22 Thread Al Ma
Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.06-13
Severity: wishlist
The file /etc/default/grub contains, among many lines, the following one:
#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
Both “disable” and “false” contain a negation—we have a double negation here.  
For a human brain, a negation (let alone a double one) is more difficult to 
understand than a positive claim. I had to look at this setting a bit before 
understanding what is really meant. Suggestion: replace the above line with a 
straighforward
# GRUB_ENABLE_OS_PROBER=true
Moreover, I suggest that the default setting, whichever it may be, gets 
documented in a comment in the configuration file itself.
Off-topic: Personally, I prefer to run the os-prober because all my computers 
are (and should be) able to boot both Windows and Linux. Each time grub is 
seriously upgraded, I need to take manual action in /etc/default/grub. I'd 
prefer NOT to undertake this manual action during upgrades. So, I prefer 
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false or, respectively, GRUB_ENABLE_OS_PROBER=true to be 
default.
Perhaps, os-prober could also be made cleverer in choosing (and looking into) 
the operating systems that can be booted (the file says, “if your computer is a 
host for guest OSes installed via LVM or raw disk devices”). After all, nobody 
prevents a computer from having both: at least two installed operating systems 
and hosting guest OSes installed via LVM or raw disk devices.

Bug#1036232: org.gnome.Shell.desktop[…]: Window manager warning: Failed to parse saved session file:

2023-06-22 Thread Al Ma
Simon, thanks for the extensive reply. > If this isn't implicated in any 
user-visible problem, then it's almost > certainly harmless, and definitely not 
Severity: important. The main user-visible problem on my computer these days is 
that X11 is used instead of Wayland, and the only big action of mine was 
upgrading to Debian 12 from Debian 11 (with a few packages from Debian 12). 
Before we get to the first Wayland-related message in the log in some 
yet-to-be-written bug report, we better deal with all the visible warnings, 
errors, and failures, one by one, that happen earlier because an issue 
happening at time 푡 may potentially be (and sometimes is) a consequence of 
failures happening at times < 푡. Dealing with issues one by one, starting with 
the earliest, is usually the technically most _proper_ way to deal with 
software. (Ideally, we'd better start even with the high-level architecture of 
the GUI, but it's too far from the specific topic here.) > The gdm display 
manager runs gnome-shell in a special mode to provide > its "greeter" (login 
prompt) user interface, but there isn't really > any state in that session that 
would be useful to save, so the fact that > gdm can't load a saved state is not 
doing anyone any harm. If my memory serves me right, at least the state of the 
Num Lock was saved in certain older Debian versions. I'm going to double check 
on this. > Arguably the fact that it tries to load a saved session file and 
logs a > message while in this special mode is a minor bug, but gnome-shell is

they cannot spend on something with a higher impact, like for > example 
diagnosing and fixing a crash. A crash is sometimes (of course, not always) a 
consequence of an accumulation of issues which happened earlier. (What I 
personally learned by looking into the documentation of failures of 
safety-critical or security-critical applications is that for such 
applications, a hard failure can _always_, to the extent of my knowledge, be 
contributed to a combination of issues, and that these hidden issues are very 
difficult to figure out only from the user-visible symptoms; sometimes the root 
causes are never found.) What you said, essentially, means that resources 
(here, time) might lack to develop a system the proper way. I fully and 
completely understand; no argument here. At the same time, this lack of 
resources is more an organizational problem and less a technical one. (The 
question of how to organize software development, in particular open-source 
software development, in such a way that the technically ideal path will be 
followed with little resources available is both extremely important and 
difficult. In my view, the sheer multitude of > 80K bugs on www.debian.org/Bugs 
is not only due to the size of Debian but also a result of the inability to 
find and follow the technically ideal path. This is not specific to Debian; 
other software projects suffer similarly. In short, the situation is already 
bad, and it will get only worse if the current method of software development 
continues. I'm not going to discuss this question here further, as this would 
lead us too far away from the topic.) Practically and pragmatically, given the 
fact that some folks develop a piece of software (here: Gnome) mainly because 
this is what they want to do (and not only because they have to do it, e.g., to 
get paid), I hope that I'm providing these folks with feedback. Given that I'm 
dealing with tons of issues myself, I'm probably doing already more than the 
majority of Gnome users. It's impossible for me to do more now (otherwise I 
simply run out of time, sleep, health, and money); even reporting all the 
red-colored failures in the journal is highly likely to be out of my reach. I 
hope that if at any point a developer decides to look into any particular issue 
or a combination of issues, he/she gets the logs he/she needs. In this case, 
the corresponding bug report(s) will be of help. I apologize if my bug reports 
sound too harsh (I guess, I have felt simply overwhelmed and extremely 
helpless; I promise to express myself more professionally). > This is unlikely

Mai 25 23:43:55 AnonymizedComputerName kernel: Code: Unable to access opcode 
bytes at RIP 0xffd6.
Unfortunately, dmesg and syslog contain no additional information from the last 
moments before the segfault. In my understanding, this failure leads to the 
inability to start Wayland (and xorg kicks in instead).
Who is the real culprit and what to do? Any remedy or bugfix? Any (as small as 
possible) set of packages to upgrade?
I run Debian stable, kernel 5.10.0-23-amd64, with a few updated packages from 
testing. Probably related packages: linux-image-amd64 5.10.179-1, realmd 
0.16.3-3, systemd 247.3-7+deb11u2, dbus 1.12.24-0+deb11u1.
The severity is raised because the bug is (in my understanding) a major reason 
for why Wayland is unusable on my machine.

Bug#1036245: “Any arguments after the -- are treated as filenames and arguments.” in the bash man page makes no sense the way stated

2023-05-18 Thread Al Ma
Thanks! First, if the arguments `-' and `--' are absolutely equivalent, there's 
no need for parens (which make the stuff inside the parens, well, parenthetic). 
Second, pay attention to the consistency of the quotation marks, whichever you 
choose. Therefore:
A single argument `--' or `-' stops bash interpreting further arguments as its 
own options. Any arguments after the `--' or `-' are treated as a new command 
line that bash will run. For example, `bash -- ls --help' passes the `--help' 
to `ls' rather than bash.
However, there's a problem:
$ bash -- ls --help
/usr/bin/ls: /usr/bin/ls: cannot execute binary file

Bug#1036245: “Any arguments after the -- are treated as filenames and arguments.” in the bash man page makes no sense the way stated

2023-05-17 Thread Al Ma
Package: bash
Version: 5.1-2+deb11u1
In the man page for bash we see the line,
“-- A -- signals the end of options and disables further option processing. Any 
arguments after the -- are treated as filenames and arguments. An argument of - 
is equivalent to --.”
I claim that the sentence “Any arguments after the -- are treated as filenames 
and arguments.” is strange and should be rewritten or dropped.
I see two main logical interpretations of this sentence:
(1) *For each argument 푥 after --, 푥 is treated as a filename and an argument 
simultaneously.* This can be expressed more succinctly without any loss of 
information: *For each argument 푥 after --, 푥 is treated as a filename.* This 
implies the original formulation as follows. Take any 푥 after --. By the 
succinct formulation, 푥 is treated as a filename. By assumption, 푥 is an 
argument. By default (as this has not been stated otherwise for the option --), 
arguments are also treated as arguments, so 푥 is also treated as an argument. 
Together, 푥 is treated as a filename and an argument. Q.E.D.
(2) *For each argument 푥 after --, 푥 is treated as a filename, or 푥 is treated 
as an argument.* This is a tautology, which you see as follows. Take any 푥 
after --. By default (as this has not been stated otherwise  for the option 
--), arguments are also treated as arguments, so 푥 is treated as an argument. 
Therefore, 〈any claim〉 or 푥 is treated as an or argument. The term 〈any claim〉 
can be arbitrary; in particular, *푥 is treated as a filename* would do. Q.E.D.
Summarizing, in case (1) the sentence can be shortened and in case (2) the 
sentence can be dropped, both without loss of information. Of course, assuming 
that the authors of the document really wish to say what they are saying.
We ask for the description of `--` to be rewritten clearly and succinctly.

Failures are not good in general and make me worry (especially since my log

what to do? The machine runs systemd 247.3-7+deb11u2, dbus 1.12.24-0+deb11u1, 
and gnome-settings-daemon 42.2-1 (which contains /usr/libexec/gsd-sharing).

Updating xwayland to version 2:21.1.3-1 removes this particular bug (and 
introduces others). So the package containing the program that issues the call 
with -initfd must depend on xwayland version ≥ 2:21.1.3-1. I have no idea which 
program it is or whether this has been already done upstream.


Bug#1036120: Okular draws the pages of Postscript files with black vertical bars (sometimes with colored dots on it) on the left

2023-05-15 Thread Al Ma
Package: okular
Version: 4:20.12.3-2
Severity: important
Open a nonempty Postscript file (probably, any would do) with okular. For 
example, take the file mwe.ps in the attachment produced by latex mwe && dvips 
mwe from mwe.tex containing 
\documentclass{article}\begin{document}Test\end{document}. Scroll completely to 
the left. Observe a vertical bar on the left of the page. If the bar doesn't 
appear immediately, zoom out (and in) a few times with Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-. At 
some (seemingly random) magnifications, the bar sometimes appears (and 
sometimes disappears) fully or partially. Sometimes, colored dots are scattered 
on the otherwise black bar. Two screenshots of okular mwe.pdf with a bar are 
attached: one at 33%, another at full page for the same small window size.
The severity is raised because the bar distracts the reader and gets 
increasingly annoying in the long run. I run Debian bullseye with a few updated 
packages from bookworm.
The black vertical bar shouldn't be there.  I kindly ask for a fix.

Bug#1036115: Evince draws the pages of Postscript files with black vertical bars on the left

2023-05-15 Thread Al Ma
Package: evince
Version: 3.38.2-1
Severity: important
Open a nonempty Postscript file (probably, any would do) with evince. For 
example, take the file mwe.ps in the attachment produced by latex mwe && dvips 
mwe from mwe.tex containing 
\documentclass{article}\begin{document}Test\end{document}. Observe two black 
vertical bars on the left of the page: one in the main view and another in the 
thumbnails. If the bars don't appear immediately, play with evince a bit: 
change the zoom or reload with Ctrl+R a few times. Upon some reloads, the bars 
appear, and upon other reloads, the bars disappear (not necessarily 
simultaneously). A screenshot of evince mwe.pdf with two bars is attached.
The severity is raised because the bars distract the reader, and in the long 
run (and the bug has been there quite long, probably over a year), they get 
increasingly annoying. (If my memory doesn't fail me, the bars might have even 
appeared once in a printout, though it's a long time ago, and I wouldn't vouch 
for it today because it was seldom and might have been specific to a file, 
ergo, not necessarily related to the bug here.) I run Debian bullseye with a 
few updated packages from bookworm.
The black vertical bars shouldn't be there.  I kindly ask for a fix.

Bug#1036112: views of the PDF outputs of pdflatex, latex+dvipdf, and latex+ps2pdf are slightly shifted upwards compared to the view of the Postscript output of latex+dvips

2023-05-15 Thread Al Ma
Package: gv
Version: 1:3.7.4-2+b1
Let's create mwe.tex containing
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=1cm,paperheight=1.25cm,margin=0cm]{geometry}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}\noindent \begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[draw](A){};
  \node[draw,below of=A]{};
\end{tikzpicture}% \end{document} and run latex mwe && pdflatex mwe && dvips -o 
mwe.ps mwe.dvi && dvipdf mwe.dvi mwe.dvi.pdf && ps2pdf mwe.ps mwe.ps.pdf.
In https://i.stack.imgur.com/DSm4L.png https://i.stack.imgur.com/DSm4L.png 
(attached screenshot_2_nodes.png), we see the generated mwe.ps, mwe.pdf, 
mwe.dvi.pdf, and mwe.ps.pdf (from left to right), as shown by the viewer gv. 
Notice that in the view of the PostScript file, the upper box is fully visible, 
whereas in views of the PDF files, the upper line of the upper box is cut off.
If we remove the lower \node… command from the input, the upper box becomes 
fully visible, but the views of the Postscript and PDF outputs are still 
different, as shown in https://i.stack.imgur.com/5CS8n.png 
https://i.stack.imgur.com/5CS8n.png (attached screenshot_1_node.png). In the 
view of the Postscript file, the remaining box is lower than in the view of the 
PDF file.
Clearly, cutting off stuff is bad as well as the discrepancies between the 
views of the Postscript and PDF files that should depict the same stuff. 
According to 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/685761/gv-the-outputs-of-pdflatex-latexdvipdf-and-latexps2pdf-are-slightly-shifted#comment1701532_685761
 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/685761/gv-the-outputs-of-pdflatex-latexdvipdf-and-latexps2pdf-are-slightly-shifted#comment1701532_685761,
 the viewers Adobe Reader, sumatra, and the pdf viewer from winedt show the 
boxes exactly in the corner, and the problem here is probably due to gv.
On the machine in question, ghostscript 9.55.0~dfsg-3 on Debian stable with a 
few updated packages from testing is installed. I kindly ask to check the issue 
and fix it.

Bug#1017466: Datei … ist ein symbolische Verknüpfung, während Datei … ein normale leere Datei ist.

2023-05-13 Thread Al Ma
retitle 1017466 Datei … ist ein symbolische Verknüpfung, während Datei … ein 
normale leere Datei ist.
severity 1017466 important
thanks
I confirm the bug. The German message when comparing a symlink with a regular 
file contains grammatical errors. To reproduce:
$ echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
$ touch f g
$ ln -s f fl
$ diff --no-dereference fl g
Datei fl ist ein symbolische Verknüpfung, während Datei g ein normale leere 
Datei ist.
The grammatically correct message should be this:
Datei fl ist eine symbolische Verknüpfung, während Datei g eine normale leere 
Datei ist.
Alternatively, if you prefer to have the definite article:
Die Datei fl ist eine symbolische Verknüpfung, während die Datei g eine normale 
leere Datei ist.
Raising the severity because the errors annoy me as a corrector each time I see 
them.

Bug#1035899: org.gnome.Shell.desktop[…]: Unrecognized option: -initfd

2023-05-12 Thread Al Ma
Simon,
Thank you for a reply. I understand. On the machine in question, libmutter-10-0 
in version 42.3-2 is installed. The package libmutter-7-0 is not installed, and 
no other libmutters are known to aptitude.  At the moment, I cannot risk a full 
upgrade from Debian stable to Debian testing (it's a production machine), but I 
can certainly try to upgrade a package or two. To get rid of the particular 
error message, the solution would be to upgrade xwayland, wouldn't it?  Any 
hint on which version would do, at least roughly?

There is no such driver.
If such a driver doesn't exist in the world, then either the message is bogus

So MESA-LOADER complains that /usr/lib/dri/ast_dri.so is not found.  This is 
correct because on my machine, /usr/lib/dri doesn't exist and ast_dri.so 
doesn't exist elsewhere. Does my Aspeed chip have no driver?  Should I ever 
need it a VGA output, don't I get it?  My request is to deal with this error 
message, ideally, by introducing ast_dri.so into to Debian (or making 
MESA-LOADER work without it).

The last line is yellow. The output of nmcli says, in red:

As this is a warning I feel, ergo, warned.  What is it, in plain English, that 
I am warned about?  I use Wi-Fi on wlp179s0 (the connection had its issues, but 
they seem to be mitigated now, so that I can send and receive e-mails such as 
this one) but hate to be warned about non-issues. Or, if the warning shows a 
real issue (about the stuff I'm not using or not knowing to be using), it 
should be fixed.  Any remedy?  Any bugfix?
Gratefully,
AlMa

You are right, tlp-rdw was removed but not purged, as it turned out. After 
puring tlp-rdw, the two error messages are gone. Thanks!

In general, failing assertions are not good.  Besides this and in plain 
English, what does the message “GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_bus_get_sync: assertion 
'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed” tell us?  Who is the culprit and what 
to do?  Versions of the packages outputting into the log just before the error 
occurred:

247.3-7+deb11u2, wireplumber 0.4.2-5, gnome-session-bin 42.0-1, gnome-session 
42.0-1.
(The machine has many issues, which might or might not be related to this. 
Among them, e.g., no sound output in gnome through loudspeakers connected via a 
standard 3-pole 3.5 mm audio jack.)

Bug#1035660: Foot should display broken symbolic links in a different color than intact symlinks

2023-05-07 Thread Al Ma
Package: foot
Version: 1.6.4-1
How to reproduce:
1) Create a symlink to an existing file.
2) Create a symlink to a nonexistent file.
3) Issue `ls -lA` or simply `ls` and observe that the two links have the same 
color.
We wish that broken symbolic links be represented in a different color, for 
example, in red as in xterm. For the test, see the screenshot (xterm on the 
left, foot on the right).


Bug#1035313: pstricks causes gray output of xdvi

2023-04-30 Thread Al Ma
Package: texlive-pstricks
Version: 2022.20221123-1
Control: affects -1 ghostscript
Feed mwe.tex containing
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}
to `latex`, then issue `xdvi mwe` from an xterm under X11+gnome, and finally 
observe the visual output https://i.stack.imgur.com/UYZKG.png 
https://i.stack.imgur.com/UYZKG.png.
On the console,
gs:
gs:  WARNING: Transparency operations ignored - need to use 
-dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY
gs:
gs:
is printed.
This is strange. The input file has no transparency whatsoever. In fact, 
pstricks is not even used. Further, there's IMHO no way for xdvi to pass the 
option `-dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY` to gs. Finally, the graphical output should be 
black, and not gray.
Presumably, updating texlive-pstricks or ghostscript might solve the problem, 
but which versions of which packages would be the smallest to have the fix? 
Versions used in this question:
• Debian package texlive 2022.20221123-1,
• Debian package texlive-binaries 2022.20220321.62855-4+b1,
• Debian package ghostscript 9.53.3~dfsg-7+deb11u4,
• `latex` has version `pdfTeX 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022/Debian)`,
• `xdvi` has version 22.87.06,
• `pstricks.sty` has version 2022/19/23 v0.72, and
• `gs` has version 9.53.3.
I don't wish to update the machine in this very bug report myself without being 
advised because this might trigger newer bugs, and rollbacks sometimes failed 
in the past.


Bug#1035114: The lower horizontal bar of ⋢ (U+22E2) is missing by default.

2023-04-29 Thread Al Ma
Package: emacs
Version: 1:27.1+1-3.1+deb11u2
1. In gnome, open gnome-characters and emacs.
2. In gnome-characters, find ⋢ (U+22E2) and copy it.
3. Paste it via Ctrl+y to the emacs scratch buffer.
4. Observe that the charater misses a lower bar.
In the attached screenshot, on the right you see the correct representation in 
gnome-characters, and on the left the wrong one in emacs. What you see on the 
left is the negation of ⊏, whereas you expect the negation of ⊑.
In case it's a font issue, please feel free to reassign the bug report 
appropriately.

In plain English, what do the two messages „systemd-udevd[…]: Failed to call 
EVIOCSKEYCODE with scan code …, and key code …: Invalid argument“ tell us, and 
how should this worry us? (By the way, the way I zoom in or out using keyboard, 
say, in Mozilla Firefox, is via Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-. The middle slide key of the 
keyboard moves the contents of the window or the cursor up and down.)

2023-04-23 Thread Al Ma
Thanks. I understand. As packages generally depend on each other on a large 
scale, I posted the version of systemd simply to indicate that the bug is not 
as old as it might seem from the prior report of Anonimno.
If the bug re-emerges (I don't wish to roll back my last update unless 
necessary for other reasons), I'll reopen the report.

I don't wish to uninstall tlp (my version: 1.4.0-1) because otherwise the 
machine might run too hot for its fully passive cooling. I have no idea whether 
the bug is tlp-related; please feel free to reassing or retag this report if 
necessary. The bug might be plymouth-related though, because the offending 
message disappeared when I updated a few packages to their versions from 
snapshots, among them plymouth from 0.9.5 to 0.9.5+git20211018-1.


Bug#1034462: Pipewire: Inappropriate ioctl for device

2023-04-17 Thread Al Ma
reassign 1034462 pipewire-media-session 0.4.1-3
thanks
I use snapshots rather than backports (for unrelated reasons). After replacing  
pipewire-media-session with wireplumber 0.4.2-1, the particular ioctl error 
message is gone (but there are others instead). Therefore, bug report 
reassigned to the (dying) pipewire-media-session.


Bug#1034462: Pipewire: Inappropriate ioctl for device

2023-04-15 Thread Al Ma
Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.56-1
I have very broken mic input in audacity. While looking into log, I saw the 
following lines:
Apr 15 22:36:59 AnonymizedComputerName pipewire[1235]: spa.v4l2: '/dev/video0' 
VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES: Unpassender IOCTL (I/O-Control) für das Gerät
Apr 15 22:36:59 AnonymizedComputerName pipewire-media-session[1236]: ms.core: 
error id:35 seq:256 res:-25 (Inappropriate ioctl for device): enum params id:3 
(Spa:Enum:ParamId:EnumFormat) failed
As the error concerns a multimedia-related piece of software (and as I have no 
mic-input at the moment for an unknown reason), I wonder what this error tells 
us?  Who has done what wrong and how?  By the way, as /dev/video0 is mentioned, 
the only way a video could be captured on my machine would be via a TV card. 
The TV card is connected to the antenna, and the TV tuner was not started on 
boot.

Bug#799603: NetworkManager: Error: failed to open /run/network/ifstate

2023-04-15 Thread Al Ma
found 799603 1.30.6-1+deb11u1
quit
Affects me. In the journal log I see “NetworkManager[885]:  
[1681591017.6980] Error: failed to open /run/network/ifstate”.  As this is not 
only a warning but also an error, who has done what wrong?  (I have 184 
occurrences of “error” in the output of `journalctl -b`; I'd really wish to 
know which one is no more than a printf resulting from sloppy, careless 
programming and which one also leads to the end-user problems at hand, 
whichever they may be.)


Bug#1034038: Please push babel.sty v3.87 or later into the upcoming distribution

2023-04-07 Thread Al Ma
Thank you, Hilmar, the result looks good: your packages resolve the issue 
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/680690 
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/680690.  While installing your packages, 
I had to use dpkg -i -B (rather than the usual dpkg -i ); if this is how the 
installation is supposed to succeed, please feel free to push them to Debian. 
(Caveat: I have not tested xetex and I have not installed texlive-full, so I 
can say nothing about these two packages.)

2023-04-06 Thread Al Ma
Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2022.20230122-2
Severity: wishlist
Please push the changes in babel.dtx due to commit cd59ff0 (cf. 
https://github.com/latex3/babel/commit/cd59ff0, 
https://github.com/latex3/babel/commit/cd59ff0, changes in line 15797-15798) 
into Debian.  This amounts to babel v3.87 or later and solves
