Bug#1010576: akonadi-server: Akonadi/Kontact hangs after resuming from standby
I really wonder if this hang has something to do with a dedicated setup because not many users seem to be affected. Nevertheless the bug is really annoying.
Bug#1010576: akonadi-server: Akonadi/Kontact hangs after resuming from standby
Exact same behavior here. I have this behavior for about 6-8 weeks. After each resume I have to stop akonadi and then kill mariadb (normal kill is nossible due to apparmor, only kill -9 works). After that, akonadi works again. Thanks!
Bug#913679: kopete: libjingle-call keeps crashing
Same problem here.
The reason are typos in the kopete-17.08.3-openssl-1.1.patch patch which is
supposed to make the code work with openssl 1.1. There are two places where
the patch does
+#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x1010L
static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = {
BIO_TYPE_BIO,
"socket",
@@ -98,16 +99,36 @@ static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = {
};
BIO_METHOD* BIO_s_socket2() { return(_socket); }
+#else
+static BIO_METHOD *methods_socket = NULL;
+
+static const BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_socket2(void) {
+ if (methods_socket == NULL) {
+ methods_socket = BIO_meth_new (BIO_TYPE_BIO | BIO_get_new_index (),
"socket");
+ if (methods_socket == NULL ||
+ BIO_meth_set_write (methods_socket, socket_write) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_read (methods_socket, socket_read) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_puts (methods_socket, socket_puts) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_gets (methods_socket, 0) ||

+ BIO_meth_set_create (methods_socket, socket_new) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_destroy (methods_socket, socket_free))
+ return NULL;
+}
+ return methods_socket;
+}
+#endif
The problem are the calls to the BIO_meth_set_XXX functions. Here it's an
error if the return code is 0, not != 0! Therefore a correct patch would look
like
+#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x1010L
static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = {
BIO_TYPE_BIO,
"socket",

+static const BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_socket2(void) {
+ if (methods_socket == NULL) {
+ methods_socket = BIO_meth_new (BIO_TYPE_BIO | BIO_get_new_index (),

+ !BIO_meth_set_destroy (methods_socket, socket_free))
+ return NULL;
+}
+ return methods_socket;
+}
+#endif
Again, the patch contains these calls twice so please make sure to fix both
occurrences. And this problem applies to both kopete 17.08.3-2 (Sid) as well
as to kopete 18.08.3-1.
Please fix these packages because kopete seems to be the only available Jabber
client on Plasma. Telepathy doesn't work for me...
Thanks!

Bug#735595: Re: [vbox-dev] Bug#735595: Patch to update RTC after time change
Hi Gianfranco, we will not apply this patch. I provided the rationale in https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11980#comment:4 We will probably fix VBoxService to use adjtimex() instead of adjtime() which should be enough for most users. We also might synchronize the RTC with the system time on 'steps' (ie host/guest time are out of sync for more than 20 seconds) but the latter still needs to be discussed internally.

To build the sources you need to do ./configure kmk kmk packing This builds the whole tree and as part of the compilation process, the kernel modules are built as well but these modules are NOT meant to be actually used. To compile the Linux kernel modules, do ./src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/linux/export_modules ~/vboxhost.tar.gz Then extract the resulting archive and do make in the resulting directory.

I presume starting from version 4.0 everything needs to be patched by
disabling it?
that code does only exist in VBox 4.3.x, older branches are not affected.

CVE-2015-0377: VBox 4.3.x is not affected (only 4.2.x and older)
do you have any patch for = 4.2.x then?
Attached.
4.0.10 4.1.12 4.1.18 4.3.10 4.3.14 4.3.18
These patches are against the latest code in the respective branches but
I hope they apply to these old versions. Sorry but it's not possible to
support such old versions, we only support the latest versions of a
specific branch.
4.3.20 (not affected at all I presume)
Correct, already contains fixes for all these problems.

Well, you can change the assembler file directly. I wonder what happened if we just remove the OpenWatcom source files from the tarball? Removing the Open Watcom source files would be a GPL violation unless upstream explicitly adds a license to the generated assembler files. I think the generated assembler files contain all necessary copyright headers. Anyway I fail to see how removing free source code files could change anything in terms of DFSG-freeness of the whole thing. Or if the developers hadn't told us but instead said they created the assembler file by hand? It's pretty hard to believe that someone could write and maintain 15,000 lines of assembler code without a single comment. It's surely hard but not impossible. But I wouldn't continue arguing here. That is a problem because it's impossible to modify the BIOS (e.g. by adding a distro patch) without someone running Open Watcom. Why's that? We can change assembler source files, can't we? Sure, you can modify those assembler files but they are just a post-processed compiler output. That means in practice you can't modify it in a meaningful way. In fact the files say Auto Generated source file. Do not edit. ;-) For example we would be unable to cherry-pick a BIOS fix from trunk. I really wonder if we're trying to be more catholic than the pope here. I don't think so because where does it end? With the same argument you could declare every disassembled binary that is built from high level language code as source code. Again, we don't have a choice. If you cannot live with that change I regret that. Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert | Software Development Director, VirtualBox ORACLE Deutschland B.V. Co.

See here: https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/BiosCommon Code Right, but Open Watcom is required to build the BIOS from source (preferred form for modification). That makes VirtualBox a candidate for the Debian contrib repository as it is free but requires non-free software to build from source. When the package is in contrib the assembler file could be used to build the BIOS. In my opinion this depends on the definition of the term source code. The VirtualBox source code tarball ships two alternative variants of the BIOS source code: The first variant is C code mixed with Assembler code (in src/VBox/Devices/PC/BIOS/* and src/VBox/Devices/Graphics/BIOS/*). The second variant is pure Assembler code which can be found in src/VBox/Devices/PC/BIOS/VBoxBiosAlternative.asm and src/VBox/Devices/Graphics/BIOS/VBoxVgaBiosAlternative.asm Both variants are part of the source code tarball, and the second variant allows it to build VirtualBox even if Open Watcom is not available. It should not matter that the second variant is generated from the first variant because that generation is done by the VirtualBox team and we ensure that the 2nd variant will produce the same object code as the 1st variant.

Using the VBox 4.2 BIOS with bcc is not possible. You could probably use the VBox 4.1 BIOS with VBox 4.2. But in that case we will refuse to lock at any bug report of such builds because in the 4.2 BIOS we fixed a bunch of bugs and added a few new features.

Enabling those functionalities does nothing. This may be disturbing for the user not aware of the differences between OSE and non-OSE. That's not entirely true. Try to install the extension pack, it should work with the Debian build as well. In fact, there is no real OSE version anymore, only the normal source code (which is freely available under GPLv2 from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) and the extension pack. The Linux packages at www.virtualbox.org use in fact the same sources like the packages from the Debian maintainers. Back to your question: If you enable USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 is part of the public sources) then you will get a message that you should install the extension pack. After doing so, you can use that features. Therefore it is correct to keep the USB / RDP VM settings. Kind regards, Frank -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. Co. KG Dr.-Ing.

Bug#585951: virtualbox-ose: should not be set suid
You are correct that these binaries are suid root but your deduction is wrong. These binaries need access to a kernel interface which is provided by the VirtualBox kernel modules. This interface can be used to harm complete machine including the kernel. So the access to this interface must be restricted. It is NOT sufficient to restrict the access to this kernel interface to certain users (by choosing proper permissions for /dev/vboxdrv) but it must be restricted to certain applications as well. The usual practise for doing so is to make the binary suid root. The binary will open the restricted interface and will then drop the privileges immediately keeping the interface open. This guarantees that only dedicated applications can access this kernel interface. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.

Bug#406992: ITP: VirtualBox -- x86 virtualization solution
Hi, I just solved the most disgusting lintian warnings/errors be moving all files out of /opt/VirtualBox-xzy to their (hopefully) proper place. I exported our debian scripts to our external repository. I would be appreciated if we could solve the remaining problems together. So far I see the following problems: - still no copyright file, we will provide one - no manpages - unstrippped binary objects: We cannot change this because we need to load these modules at runtime (similar as XFree86 did before they switched to .so modules) - our .so libs have no major/minor. Not sure if we should really provide one but this induces some lintian warnings - How to generate the SVN as part of the version? I would like to do it like Torsten did it with his kBuild package - In case you are asking: the lintian overrides for PIC code in our shared libs are necessary, currently no way to build them as PIC. - the package still compiles the kernel module during install, I assume this should be removed (and the module stuff in preinst/postinst as well) Maybe others. I would like to hear your opinion. Frank -- ## innotek GmbH, http://www.innotek.de ## signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Hi Daniel, here is a snapshot of the debian/ directory. There is still much work todo. Not all dependencies are added to debian/control (especially for building the vboxdrv kernel module). The changelog file is very hackish. Note that currently no official .tar.gz archives of VBox OSE exist. We plan to release them within the next days.

Hi, we would like to provide the Debian package for the OSE version ourself. Any help is appreciated. I will start providing the current build scripts for the package we used for the existing packages (will take a day or so). We also would like to get the non-OSE version included into non-free with a hint that this version has some more features than the OSE version.
