Bug#434864: Problem fixed in upstream

2007-08-06 Thread Dr A V Le Blanc
After coordinating with the heimdal developers, I can confirm that
the problem reported in this bug is apparently fixed in the upstream
version heimdal-1.0.1rc4 (and not in any earlier version; specifically,
not in heimdal-1.0.1rc3).

Bug#364088: imagemagick: grab does not work

2006-04-24 Thread Dr A V Le Blanc
This problem was accidentally submitted twice, as bug number
364088 and as bug number 364102, because the reportbug script
appeared to have failed.  I suggest that bug 364088 should be
merged into 364102.

Bug#364102: imagemagick: grab does not work

2006-04-21 Thread Dr O V Le Blanc
Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.2.4.5-0.8
Severity: normal


It does not seem possible to use the 'grab' function in display;
it keeps creating false path names by adding x: or //, and always
fails to do the grab.  This used to work for me.  Since grabbing
is my main use for imagemagick, it makes it fairly useless for me.

Bug#323746: ssh-krb5: connection aborts with protocol error: didn't expect packet type 34

2005-11-30 Thread Dr A V Le Blanc
On the advice of Dave Love from Daresbury, and with some extra help,
we have been able to use ssh-4.2 from testing, backported to sarge,
without any difficulties, and so we are replacing ssh-krb5 on all
machines.  Since I presume this will be the action most people will
want to take, I'm willing to see this bug closed as no longer relevant.

Bug#295537: ipvsadm: ActiveConn reports silly numbers

2005-11-30 Thread Dr A V Le Blanc
I can confirm that the problem still exists with 2.6.14.2.  I did not
get a reply the last time I reported the configurations, so I'm resending.
Our system uses keepalived to manage web, ssh, ftp, telnet, and rsync
connections.  The web connection is by far the heaviest, with about
300 active connections at the quietest period, going up to well over
a thousand at peak times.  We use direct routing, using private IP
addresses (xxx.local, 10.2.xxx).  First, here is the result of
ipvsadm on a 2.4 system at the moment:

IP Virtual Server version 1.0.12 (size=4096)

Thanks for the suggestion, but they're all running ntp, and all
within considerably less than a second of each other.  I've
noticed that there are some odd effects about ssh-krb5; it doesn't
work as I would expect.  (We have been using an older ssh, heavily
patched, to support passing AFS tokens.  I've tried to move to
ssh-krb5 when we changed from the kaserver to heimdal recently.)
In the end, I have had to give up on three machines, all of which
need to have their hostnames (i.e., what you get when you give
the hostname command) set to something other than the hostname;
they all have more than one IP address for various reasons, and
I suspect the problem may be related to this.

Bug#323746:

2005-08-19 Thread Dr A V Le Blanc
I should explain that we are using AFS, and we have recently migrated
from the kaserver to heimdal, and we are trying to use ssh-krb5 to
pass authentication to machines for maintenance purposes.  During
our testing it worked flawlessly, but for the moment in a production
environment it seems to be completely unreliable.  Sometimes I ssh
to a machine and get pagsh, tickets, and a token; sometimes I don't.
This is from the same machine on the same day with the same tickets
using exactly the same command from my bash_history.  Is there no
explanation for why this is unreliable?  Is there a way to fix this?

I should also mention that I compiled the version 3.8.1p1-8 from
the Debian pool, but it has the same problem with the connection
aborting to the two machines in question.  I can't say about the
intermittent failures, since I haven't used it after discovering
that it failed to correct the problem.

 I have previously been using ipvsadm with a 2.4.28 kernel.  When
 I upgraded to 2.6.10, it appears to work, and incoming connects
 are distributed (using direct routing and the wlc algorithm)
 to the back-end machines, but the ActiveConn values don't make
 sense.

I can confirm that this problem still exists with the 2.6.11.7

problem was reported, and no one has yet responded to my original

We are using gnome on machines whose XF86Config-4 correctly specifies the
keyboard layout (gb), so that if you use a different window manager
and don't use gnome software, you get the correct characters when you
type.  But with gnome-session it overrides the XF86 configured layout
and reverts to the US keyboard.

Each user can of course set this using the desktop preferences - keyboard
tool, but as we have a few thousand users, they find this very irritating.

I have tried to override the false default by using the commands:

 # gconftool-2 --type string --set 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/layouts gb
 # gconftool-2 --type boolean --set 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/overrideSettings false

But this appears to produce a further problem: when any user logs in, he
gets an error message:

 Error activating XKB configuration.
 Probably internal X server problem.

 X server version data:
 The XFree86 Project, Inc
 4031
 You are using XFree 4.3.0.
 There are known problems with complex XKB configurations.
 Try using simpler configuration or a newer version of the XFree software.
 If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
 - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
 - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb

I have given these commands and obtained the following results:

 # xprop -root | grep XKB
 _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = xfree86, pc105, gb, , 
 _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = xfree86, pc105, gb, , 
 # gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
  layouts = gb
  model = pc105
  overrideSettings = false
  options = []
  update_handlers = []

Because of this bug, we are currently discouraging users from using
gnome-session.
