Bug#961014: ifcplusplus: locale issue preventing to load any ifc file

2020-05-19 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: ifcplusplus
Version: 0~git20190402.13744d5+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to load several .ifc files (created from FreeCAD and ArchiCAD)
in SimpleViewerExample. All files fail to load and each time I get
this message:

Error: loadModelFromFile, setlocale failed

Warning: getLengthInMeterFactor, No length unit definition found in model

I believe, if ifcplusplus requires a specific locale to be available on
the system, then the package should make sure that this locale is
available.

Thanks for the work you put into BIM on debian!
Harald

Bug#959906: linux-image-5.6.0-1-arm64: Please enable CONFIG_DRM_ANALOGIX_ANX6345 on arm64

2020-05-06 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: src:linux
Version: 5.6.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

the analogix ANX6345 RGB-to-eDP video bridge is used at least in
pinebook and Teres-I OSHW Laptop. Including the driver in debian
kernel packages would allow using the proper display enginge instead
of the simple-framebuffer setup by u-boot.

Enabling CONFIG_DRM_ANALOGIX_ANX6345 should do the tick.

TIA,
Harald

Bug#828190: this bug (pulseaudio) actually breaks unrelated software

2020-04-02 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi,

I have been wrong in at least one part of my previous update to this
bug. Even if I stop all threads in the sound application (in my case
baresip) in the debugger, pulseaudio still run's at 100% CPU spamming
syslog. Only killing baresip (probably the closing of file descriptors)
makes pulseaudio recover.

I got confused, because somehow this situation causes an other thread
of baresip consume lot's of CPU, which made me believe that there is
a rather tight loop between baresip and pulseaudio. Actually the calls
to the sound API never return while pulseaudio is busy, thus the
application never get's an error and can't actually close its ALSA
handles.

So at this point I'm convinced the entire problem is within pulseaudio.
Since baresip is not a pulseaudio but an ALSA application, works fine
without pulseaudio installed and only uses pulseaudio because
pulseaudio makes itself the default ALSA device on installation, I think
it is fair to say that pulseaudio is breaking unrelated software here.

I'm tempted to raise the severity of this bug to release critical, but
I guess this should be at the discretion of the maintainers.

This is clearly a (probably rather old) upstream bug. It seems to mostly
manifest itself with SoC devices, which might explain why it is more
often seen recently and with debian: Debian arm ports are quite popular
with users of SoC based laptops.

>From the debian packaging PoV I can see two possible workarounds:
* Disable sample rate switching by setting defaut-sample-rate and
  alternate-sample-rate to the same value by default for the ARM based
  ports and prominently document the problem for everybody else.
* Don't enable pulseaudio at all on ARM based ports without some kind
  of manual intervention by the local admin.

HTH,
Harald

Bug#828190: pulseaudio fails to interact with alsa, hangs and spams syslog

2020-03-31 Thread Harald Geyer
retitle 828190 [pulseaudio] sometimes locks up
tag 828190 - moreinfo
stop

Dear Maintainer,

this report is tagged "moreinfo", but I don't see which info is
missing. AFAICS the original submitter provided everything he was
asked. Please add the tag again and clarify, if indeed some information
is missing.

Also I want to refute the theory, that this problem is mostly a bug
in the kernel driver: Everything works for me, if I use ALSA directly
instead of via pulseaudio and duckduckgo finds variants of this problem
reported on the internet related to many different drivers.

Here are my observations:

On my system audio mostly works fine for trivial things like beeps
or playing .wav files. However advanced uses (mostly VoIP software
like empathy, pidgin and baresip) cause pulseaudio to run at
100% CPU (one thread) and spam syslog with this message

Mar 31 00:19:02 teres pulseaudio[9099]: W: [alsa-source-1c22c00.dai-sun8i 
sun8i-0] alsa-source.c: Resume failed, couldn't restore original sample 
settings.

about 315 times per second.

The really fun part: After executing
pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio --log-level=4 --log-target=stderr

I can't reproduce the issue. Must be some race involved somewhere.

The system is set up with pulse as the default ALSA device. Interaction
with pulseaudio typically happens via the ALSA API.

From the difficulty in reproducing the behaviour and the content of the
message I gather, that the trigger depends on the state of the
audio HW/alsa and the properties of the audio data to be played.
Eg. Simply playing an audio file from baresip usually works fine from
a pristine state, but might fail if earlier activity caused the messages
to appear. Using "aplay" to play a .wav file might restore a working
state.

From reading [1] and [2] I understand, that mismatched sample rates
might cause such a problem. But pulseaudio should resample as needed
to avoid this. Upstream bug [3] might be related somewhat.

I focused my efforts for analyzing this problem with baresip, because it
has the most straight forward and easy to understand code. I can reproduce
this without any other audio applications running, so it really seems like
pulseaudio is stepping on its own toes. The versions in unstable and
experimental are both affected.

The code in baresip, responsible for handling audio is at:
https://github.com/alfredh/baresip/blob/be4448a54117cfd2cda69d4fc88e1c2802e8a5b6/modules/alsa/alsa_play.c#L53

If the ALSA API immediatly returns an error without blocking at all, this
code turns into a tight loop. Neatly explaining why the system hangs with
100% CPU.

I guess this code should be smarter about handling errors. OTOH I don't
see anything illegal happening there and pulseaudio should resample instead
of throwing errors, so the main problem must be with pulseaudio.

--- begin ---
static void *write_thread(void *arg)
{
struct auplay_st *st = arg;
int n;
int num_frames;

num_frames = st->prm.srate * st->prm.ptime / 1000;

while (st->run) {
const int samples = num_frames;
void *sampv;

st->wh(st->sampv, st->sampc, st->arg);

sampv = st->sampv;

n = snd_pcm_writei(st->write, sampv, samples);

if (-EPIPE == n) {
snd_pcm_prepare(st->write);

n = snd_pcm_writei(st->write, sampv, samples);
if (n != samples) {
warning("alsa: write error: %s\n",
snd_strerror(n));
}
}
else if (n < 0) {
warning("alsa: write error: %s\n", snd_strerror(n));
}
else if (n != samples) {
warning("alsa: write: wrote %d of %d samples\n",
n, samples);
}
}

snd_pcm_drain(st->write);

return NULL;
}
--- end ---

I might dig into this further in the coming days, but since I'm very much
not familiar with ALSA, pulseaudio and debugging threaded applications,
some help would be much appreciated.

I'm mostly writing this to tell you, that I can reproduce this issue at
will (mostly, considering I couln't get debug level logs) and can run
any tests you might need. But figuring out how to make pulseaudio
smarter about switching sample rates or how to make the debian package
detect, that alternate sample rates might not be a good idea on any given
system, is probably above my paygrade.

Bug#954771: empathy-accounts fails to create any account

2020-03-23 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: empathy
Version: 3.25.90+really3.12.14-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainers,

when I start empathy, if first asks me to import my accounts from pidgin.
However this doesn't work at all, but nevermind.

The real issue: When I try to manually add any account for any protocoll
(tried Jabber and SIP) clicking on the "Add" button just shows no
visible response at all. Since I can't add any accounts, this renders
the package unusable for me.

A web search turns up some sporadic forum posts discussion this issue
over the past decade. Most of them end in "Oh, no [eg after rebooting]
it suddenly works." Well, rebooting didn't solve the problem for me.

Since I'm not running a full gnome desktop, my first guess was, that
some vital dependency might be missing, which actual gnome users never
notice. But after installing all gnome components, that might be remotely
related to storing account data, up to gnome-control-center, the issue
still persists.

I got the following debug output during the critical action of clicking
the "Add" button:

EMPATHY_DEBUG=all G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all empathy

Indeed, for S/PDIF on A64 CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_SPDIF is needed.


Based on the name I'm guessing this is not A64 specific, so retitling
the bug accordingly.

However AFAICS debian ships no sun50i-a64 devicetrees where S/PDIF 
is

enabled. You would need a custom DT or an overlay, to make the
debian kernel actually load the module.


Is this still needed or do recent kernels have this already enabled?


AFAICS no a64 based systems yet, but other arm64 allwinner systems.
For example: sun50i-h6-beelink-gs1.dts

Indeed, for S/PDIF on A64 CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_SPDIF is needed.

BTW there have been two uploads of linux 5.0 to experimental since this

Thanks again, I'd have totally missed that. Sometimes it is hard to

Bug#921244: comp/send: strange error and undocumented behaviour when using Bcc-header

2019-02-03 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: nmh
Version: 1.7.1-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

when drafting a message with comp(1) and including something like the
following in the headers:
| To: f...@example.com
| Bcc: b...@example.com

I get the following error:
| What now? send
| sendmail: No recipients specified although -t option used
| exit 1

Both recipients get messages with different Message-Ids, but the
content seems to be exactly the same. I believe this is in conflict
with the man page of send(1), which states that Bcc-recipients will
receive a message with a clear indication in the body, warning them
not to disclose their status as recipients by replying.

See the discussion von Bcc: vs. Dcc: fields in the man page of send(1)
for details.

I believe the body of bcc messages used to start with:
| --- Blind-Carbon-Copy
|
| From: har...@ccbib.org
| To: f...@example.com
| Bcc: b...@example.com
| Subject: ...
| [more headers]
|
| [original body]

Best regards and thanks for maintaining nmh.

Harald

Bug#921019: arm64: Please provide sound modules for Allwinner A64 based systems

2019-01-31 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: linux-image-arm64
Version: 4.18+100
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Please enable the following Kconfig symbols as modules:

CONFIG_SND_SUN50I_CODEC_ANALOG
CONFIG_SND_SUN8I_CODEC
CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_I2S
CONFIG_SND_SOC_SIMPLE_AMPLIFIER
CONFIG_SND_SIMPLE_CARD

These are necessary for sound support on pinebook, Olimex TERES-I, etc.
The drivers are available upstream since 4.20.
Pinebook has sound enabled in devicetree starting with 5.0

I'm currently working on enabling sound for TERES-I ...

Also while looking into this I noticed the following quite general
drivers, that might be reasonable to enable too:

CONFIG_SND_SIMPLE_SCU_CARD
CONFIG_SND_AUDIO_GRAPH_CARD
CONFIG_SND_AUDIO_GRAPH_SCU_CARD
CONFIG_SND_XEN_FRONTEND

However I'm not aware of anybody using them on arm64, so enabling them
is strictly optional.

TIA,
Harald

Bug#909142: wicd-curses: Right-arrow on first wlan errors wicd-curses.py

2018-12-25 Thread Harald Geyer

Package: wicd-curses
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Followup-For: Bug #909142

Dear Maintainer,

I ran into this issue too. (The same backtrace)

I'm not sure at which exact step caused the problem, but what I did 
was:

1) Try to connect to an encrypted (WPA2) network - the only network
listed, ie the first one
2) Notice that wicd doesn't prompt me for the passphrase.
3) Entering the config screen with right arrow and setting the
passphrase
4) Trying to connect again
5) Turning the maschine off (got distracted)
6) Realize that I actually used the wrong passphrase
7) Turning the maschine on again
8) start wicd-curses
9) Trying to enter the setting screen again -> crash

In this state the crash was reproducible across reboots whenever I 
tried

to enter the setting screen.

To fix this issue (for now) I did:
sudo service wicd stop
sudo rm /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf
sudo rm /var/lib/wicd/configurations/${offending network}
sudo service wicd start

It now works for me. Since the configuration files belong to the daemon
rather then the UI my best guess is that misconfiguration of encrypted
networks puts the daemon into some odd state where it sends garbage to
the UI, which the UI can't handle.

HTH,
Harald

I think at this time we have everything necessary in debian except for
some u-boot patches to get simplefb up.

Bug#892786: linux,arm64: please enable modules needed for teres-i OSHW laptop

2018-03-12 Thread Harald Geyer
Source: linux
Version: 4.15.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have the TERES I open hardware laptop from olimex
https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/
running with buster, but I had to recompile the kernel to get all
the modules necessary to have a useable system.

Mainlineing the devicetree file for the teres is work in progress,
(see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/12/653 ) but most of the missing
bit's in the kernel config are needed for all Allwinner A64 based
boards anyway - many of which already have upstream support.

Please enable the following configuration symbols for arm64 builds:

1) Relevant to all A64 based systems and other SoCs using the AXP803
PMIC:
at least:
CONFIG_MFD_AXP20X=y
CONFIG_MFD_AXP20X_RSB=y
CONFIG_REGULATOR_AXP20X=m
CONFIG_INPUT_AXP20X_PEK=m

(note about builtin vs. module: This is the combination I tested. It should
be possible to have everything as modules so long as mkinitramfs puts
them into the initrd. In theory we also need the regulator module in the
initrd to power up the supply chain of the MMC hosts. In practice MMCs
are already powered up by the boot loader, but we need at least the mfd
part of the pmic driver, to get the kernel probing the devices.

You might want to draw the line between builtin and module drivers in a
saner way. I can test your configuration, once you have made up your mind.)

probably also (untested yet, but will be demanded in the future obviously):
CONFIG_PINCTRL_AXP209=m
CONFIG_CHARGER_AXP20X=m
CONFIG_BATTERY_AXP20X=m
CONFIG_AXP20X_POWER=m
CONFIG_AXP288_FUEL_GAUGE=m
CONFIG_AXP20X_ADC=m
CONFIG_AXP288_ADC=m

2) Relevant to A64 based systems, driver available since long and likely
going to be enabled by default in upstream devicetrees starting with 4.17:
CONFIG_SUNXI_WATCHDOG=m

3) Relevant at least to A64 based systems with backlight. Probably at the
moment only the teres-i laptop:
CONFIG_PWM_SUN4I=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=m

4) Maybe not relevant at the moment, but might be a sane default to include
anyway:
CONFIG_LEDS_PWM=m


BTW, as you might have inferred from my message, I'm a bit unsure how
you decide which drivers to enable. Do you have a script, that scan's the
device trees for required drivers (if so it clearly failed to find the
drivers listed in (1)), or do you rely solely on users speaking up when
something is missing? Any hints on how to efficiently report missing
drivers or upcoming upstream changes would be appreciated.


Thanks for your consideration,
Harald



Bug#494372: Need more information about potential tc-prio(8) bug

2017-12-31 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi Andreas Henriksson!

Appologies for never following up on this bug. I solved my problem back
then the trial-and-error way and never had to use tc again, so never
invested time into this.

However reading the man page again, it actually makes sense now. What
cleared thing up for me was the following sentence:
"The priomap also allows you to list higher priorities (> 7) which do not
correspond to TOS mappings, but which are set by other means."

Now I see: The priomap maps from "Linux Priority" to Band not from TOS Bits.
I guess what confused me was that the priomap has 16 entries which also
is the number of possible TOS values.

So actually there is no bug in the man page. Since we both had a hard
time understanding it, maybe it should be improved. Or maybe is has already
been improved over the past 10 years - after all it looks sufficiently clear
to me now.

I think, unless you have an idea how to explain things more naturally or
unambiguous, this report can be closed.

Thanks,
Harald

Bug#873176: linux-image-armmp-lpae: Please add module for DHT11/DHT22 sensors

That's a fair point. The user will need to either add a node to the DTB on
his system or have the bootloader apply a device tree fragment on top of
the DTB installed by debian, which would work well with automatic updates
of the kernel. (Or load a device tree fragment from userspace once
debian supports dynamic DT.)

Since updating the DTB is a lot easier then compiling the module for
every update of the debian linux package (and security updates usually
don't change the DTB anyway), I still feel providing the module would
be useful.

Thanks for considering my report,
Harald



Bug#873176: linux-image-armmp-lpae: Please add module for DHT11/DHT22 sensors

2017-08-25 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: linux-image-armmp-lpae
Version: 4.12+84
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

the DHT22 sensors are quite popular temperature and humidity sensors. I'm
the upstream driver author so I am biased but from my experience with bug
reports many users seem to run custom compiled (and mostly outdated) kernels
only because debian doesn't ship the kernel module for this sensor.

Also I'm switching my systems using these sensors from OpenWRT to debian
ATM so I'm directly affeced by this as well.

Adding CONFIG_DHT11=m will be enough, however I'm less sure about the
architectures to enable this: It will be mostly used on all variants of
ARM but the driver works on any platform with native (ie fast enough for
bit banging) GPIOs.

Thanks for your consideration,
Harald

Dear Maintainer,

please enable support for the PMICs from X-Powers. The drivers were added

I think the following additions are necessary:

CONFIG_AXP20X_ADC=m
CONFIG_CHARGER_AXP20X=m
CONFIG_BATTERY_AXP20X=m

Also maybe

CONFIG_GPIO_AXP209=m

to support the GPIOs on the PMIC and
 
CONFIG_AXP288_CHARGER=m
CONFIG_AXP288_FUEL_GAUGE=m
CONFIG_EXTCON_AXP288=m
CONFIG_AXP288_ADC=m

to bring power management to a different set of devices might be good
ideas, but I have no hardware to test these so I don't dare to recommend
it.

Hi,

I started X via startx and it decided to use the vesa driver - probably for
the first time on this maschine. (See: Bug#855070)

The X server itself works, ie. I can launch applications using key binding,
but the screen remains entirely black. The backlight is on and the monitor
reports 640x480 75Hz via its builtin menu.

I don't see anything wrong in the log file other then that I'd hope to
get a higher screen resolution.

Please tell me if there is anything I can do to help debugging this.

Bug#855070: xserver-xorg-video-intel: fails to start after upgrade to stretch

2017-02-15 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi,

I found out that if I 'modprobe i810' before executing 'startx', then
the xserver actually starts normally. (I guess in (2) of my bug report,
I didn't choose the right set of modules.)

However all the issues mentioned in this report still stand. In particular
the xserver shouldn't crash that badly because of a missing kernel module.
I'm not sure which package's fault this is, though.

HTH,
Harald

Bug#855070: xserver-xorg-video-intel: fails to start after upgrade to stretch

2017-02-13 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.99.917+git20161206-1
Severity: important


Hi,

I have been using the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver on this machine
for many years and across serveral debian releases withouth problems.
After upgrading the machine from stable to stretch, X stopped working.
There are a number of problems involved, please clone this bug report
as you see fit.

What happened in detail:
1) after the upgrade the intel driver isn't probed anymore:
This machine was running without xorg.conf for a long time, but after
the upgrade, it wouldn't even try to use the intel driver. (Falling
back to vesa, which isn't working either, but that's a different
issue.) No idea, why that is the case, but copying the example
xorg.conf from /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf
solved this problem. But ...

2) I'm usually starting X as user with startx, but now this aborts
with a number of error messages:
It can't load the drm kernel modules -> fixed by manual modprobe
and can't access /dev/agpgart -> solved by installing
xserver-xorg-legacy
The last lines of the log without the -legacy package are

This package should probably depend on or at least recommend
xserver-xorg-legacy.

3) However with xserver-xorg-legacy installed the real trouble
started. The xserver seems to start but immediatly crashes and
even fails to print a proper backtrace (see the included log).
The screen is gone (ie. can't be switched back to text mode by
any means I know) but the keyboard works ok.

I don't even know where to start debugging this. However all the
issues described can be reproduced reliably. Any help appreciated.

TIA,
Harald

Too me his problems look like corruption of some data structures or
the stack or whatever. This could be caused by a buffer overflow
somewhere or tempering with the binary or a number of other things.
I don't think there is any way to narrow this down other then
running LCDd inside a debugger...

LCDd seems to send critical syslog messages on some weird
situations. I don't know why. Here's an example of a tail on a
logfile:

Notice how you got `Message` lines above? Those flood *all* terminals
I am connected to - not just the one where i was tailing the
logfile. oddly enough, part of that message is stripped as well
("listen" becomes "sten" and "ignore" becomes "nore", not sure why).
```


Here I don't fully understand what he says: He is getting a number of
valid listen/ignore messages to syslog with the proper level, but
occasionally there are critical messages, that are mangled?

In this case there seems to be some serious corruption of data
structures, i.e. something not obvious from reading the source code.

I think the only way forward is to run LCDd from within a debugger.


```
I wonder if this isn't connected to the vsyslog call:

  vsyslog(LOG_USER | (level + 2), format, ap);

This seems to bump up the level, which could distort the levels...
```


While the code is clearly fishy (non-portable) it is actually correct
at least on debian systems.

I don't know if this is written down anywhere, but it can be infered
from the fact that mhshow does start a pager of its own.

Well, these of course can not be displayed in a pager in the first place ...

I haven't read the source of mhshow, but from what I have seen with
strace (yes, actually needed strace to figure out what's wrong) it looks
to me like mhshow always fires up moreproc to display the headers *and*
any text/* parts after they have been filtered by the respective command
from mhn.defaults - I think this implies that mhshow expects the entries
in mhn.defaults to behave as filters - at least if X is not available.

Looks like w3m is smarter than links2 and doing the right thing
when stdout is not a terminal.

Yes, but I have proposed a solution to that in my original message,
in case you acutally think this is desired.

This is not true. The paging is done by moreproc (less on my system).
If this is not the case on your system, then I see where your opposition
is coming from. However I belive something else must be broken in that
case.

I think we are not yet disagreeing about opinion, we are still disagreeing
about facts (ie when is moreproc fired up). Let's first sort out the
facts, then move on to opinions.

I believe this is not about my preferences (that's what config files
are for) but about software compatibility. And software compatibility
is a matter of debian packaging. Obviously I had a bad start at
explaining what the issue is - it's your decision if the issue is worth
fixing (ie tag the bug report wontfix), but I want you to actually see
the issue first. (Once we are there, maybe you can tell me how I could
have presented the issue better.)

I think correctly using run-mailcap semantics is nmh's problem:
"run-mailcap --action=view" is meant to start a pager, which is not
what mhshow wants to do. mhshow wants formatted output that can be
passed on to it's own pager (moreproc). There is a way to get the
output expected by mhshow: run-mailcap --action=cat

Agreed.

Actually run-mailcap is an effort to seamlessly support
x/console/whatever use, but nmh (and sensible-tools) are messing
things up, because they try to do part of the job themselfs. I think
the easy way to fix this is to dump run-mailcap down so it doesn't
interfere with what nmh is doing.

I think your explanation in the News.Debian is a good one. However
since the differene between "run-mailcap --action=view" and
"run-mailcap --action=cat" is somewhat subtle it took me a while to
figure out, what's actually wrong. And I think the current default
configuration probably works on many sytems - but only by chance, not
by being right.

If you think that this problem should be fixed in the mime-support
or sensible-tools packages, then please reassign the bug there instead
of closing it.

Harald



Bug#803402: nmh: bad interaction with mime-support

2015-10-29 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: nmh
Version: 1.6-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

first of all I think nmh should depend on mime-support, as it is using
run-mailcap in mhn.defaults. Yes I could file an extra bug for that, but
I know Alexander will pick this up here as well.

The actual problem:
When I mhshow a message with a text/html part on the linux virtual
terminal, the current mhn.defaults invokes "run-mailcap --action=view",
which in turn invokes sensible-browser, which on my system happens to
produce output not suitable for display in a pager - ie lots of
escape sequences.

There are a number of things going wrong in this szenario, and I'm
not sure which ones should be reported as bugs:
Involved browser shouldn't output escape sequences if not attached
to a terminal and I guess it is particularly hard to write a correct
mailcap entry for sensible-browser as it can start an application either
in X or in a terminal.

On the nmh side, mhshow probably shouldn't use --action=view if the output
is acutally displayed in a pager. I changed this to --action=cat and
got the correct behavior. However this has a side effect: Under X the
message is still shown in a pager and not in a browser window. I like the
side effect, but if this is not desired then maybe something like
--action=$(if test $DISPLAY; then echo view; else echo cat; fi) or
a wrapper is necessary.

HTH,
Harald

Bug#779040: fake-hwclock: does not run at shutdown

2015-02-23 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: fake-hwclock
Version: 0.8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm using fake-hwclock on a cubieboard to keep my time monotonic.

The following things work:
Restoring the saved time at boot.
Saving the system time once per hour.

The following doesn't work:
Saving the system time at shutdown or reboot.

This leads to fsck running everytime the system starts, because time
is not monotonic.

I tried to look into this a bit but alas I'm not yet familiar enough
with systemd to see what is going wrong. (And I won't have a serial console
available in the next days.) So if you need more information to make sense
of this, you will need to tell me how to aquire it.

TIA,
Harald

Bug#775748: installation-report: alternative installation method on cubieboard

2015-01-19 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.57
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I see that there is already an installation report for cubieboard,
but as I tried a different approach for booting the installer than
recommended on https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner
is think it might be useful to document it here.

The basic idea is to have uboot laod the kernel and initrd of the installer
from it's own boot partition instead of the network. Using preseeding
to get the network up, it is possible to install debian without
having a serial console around.

See below for details and config snippets.

Comments/Problems:

Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
  and ideas you had during the initial install.
On sunxi we have to prepare an SD card with uboot ourselves (no ready
image available), so I used the instructions and files from openwrt,
but modified the uEnv.txt like this to load the installer:

 fdt_addr=0x4300
 loaddtb=fatload mmc 0 ${fdt_addr} dtb
 ramdisk_addr_r=0x4800
 loadramdisk=fatload mmc 0 ${ramdisk_addr_r} initrd.gz
 kernel_addr_r=0x4700
 loadkernel=fatload mmc 0 ${kernel_addr_r} vmlinuz
 bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 --- DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
 uenvcmd=run loadkernel  run loaddtb  run loadramdisk  fdt addr 
 ${fdt_addr} 0x4  bootz ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} 
 ${fdt_addr}

I copied vmlinuz and a modified initrd.gz from d-i/netboot to the
boot partition. The initrd.gz was modified to include a preseed.cfg
to load network-console, because I wouldn't have a serial cable available
at installation time.

However from the preseed templates available online I had a hard time
figuring out a working configuration. This is what finally worked for
me. Maybe a few lines are unnecessary:

d-i auto-install/enable boolean true
d-i netcfg/use_autoconfig boolean false
d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true
d-i netcfg/link_wait_timeout string 60
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0
d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.11.54
d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.11.52
d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 8.8.8.8
d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string debian
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/hostname string debian
d-i mirror/protocol string http
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/countries string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string 192.168.11.52:
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i anna/choose_modules string network-console
d-i network-console/authorized_keys_url string http://192.168.11.52/openssh-key
d-i network-console/password password r00tme
d-i network-console/password-again password r00tme

Especially the following lines were not obviously necessary when reading
the templates:
d-i netcfg/use_autoconfig boolean false
d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true
d-i netcfg/link_wait_timeout string 60
d-i mirror/country string manual

The rest of the installation was quite normal:
I removed the swap partition suggested by guided partitioning because
I don't want to wear out the SD card.

Before booting into the new system I copied the ssh-key used for
network-console to my users .ssh/authorized_keys - that could have
been offered by the installer.

When booting into the newly installed system I installed the package
fake-hwclock because cubieboard has no backup battery for the rtc.

Bug#728741: nmh: please suggest packages necessary for replyfilter

2013-11-04 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: nmh
Version: 1.5-release-0.2
Severity: wishlist

The subject line pretty much says it all: There is the replyfilter
script provided in doc/contrib, which needs the package 'par' and
a number of perl libraries installed to work. However it wasn't that
easy for me to figure out which libraries exactly are necessary.
Having these packages suggested (or even recommended) via dependencies,
would have helped me a lot.

Thanks,

Bug#680486: installation-reports: fails to install via approx mirror

2012-07-06 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to install kfreebsd-i386, which was largely successful with
two glitches:

1) I selected german keyboard layout, which was completly ignored.
I see this has already been reported in other reports, so I'll focus
on the other issue.

2) Since mz internet connection is somewhat flaky I usuallz install
via a local approx mirror. This never caused anz problems so far
(on i386, powerpc) but as this is my first installation of wheeyz
I can't tell for sure if the following is related to kfreebsd or is
a new bug affecting all archs...

The installer correctlz downloaded it's additional components via
approx. Also installation of the base szstem was without problems,
but late in the installation procedure, when trying to install
more software (most notably grub without which the installation
won't complete) the installer failed to retrieve the package list
of the full kfreebsd-i386 archive.

As a workaround I chrooted into /target and installed grub-pc
via aptitude. As aptitude worked fine (using the same mirror) I'm
prettz confindent, that the mirror setup is ok, but the problem
is some incompatibilitz between approx and the wheezy installer. 

Actuallz I didn't trz installing without approx so I can't know
for sure if the issue is reallz related to approx, but I can't
think of anzthing else special about mz setup. So unless the
installer is broken for everybody, it likely is approx.

Bug#680491: xserver-xorg: segfaults at startup

2012-07-06 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

this is the first time I install Debian on this machine, so I don't
know if older versions would have worked nor do I know if this is
specific to kfreebsd:

I tried starting X via startx and got a segfault as can be seen in the
log below. Also note the DRM related error message...

If I find the time, I'll try to install again with linux kernel
and followup on this. (Should there be anything more productive
I could do on this, then I'm in for it of course.)

BTW: I read in some other report, that a user had similar problems
that went away when running as root. So I tried running as root,
but still got the segfault it this case.

Bug#680486: installation-reports: fails to install via approx mirror

2012-07-06 Thread Harald Geyer
Followup to my own bug report:

I just installed linux-i386 on the same machine using the same mirror
setup and the installer with the same build date. Everything went well
this time, so the issue seems kfreebsd related.

HTH,
Harald

Bug#630425: python2.6-minimal: textwrap - breaks lines at non-breakable unicode spaces

2011-06-13 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: python2.6-minimal
Version: 2.6.6-8+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

The problem lies in the following definitions in textwrap.py:

wordsep_simple_re = re.compile(r'(\s+)')
wordsep_re = re.compile(
r'(\s+|'  # any whitespace
r'[^\s\w]*\w+[^0-9\W]-(?=\w+[^0-9\W])|'   # hyphenated words
r'(?=[\w\!\\'\\.\,\?])-{2,}(?=\w))')   # em-dash

self.wordsep_re_uni = re.compile(self.wordsep_re.pattern, re.U)
self.wordsep_simple_re_uni = re.compile(
self.wordsep_simple_re.pattern, re.U)


Since in unicode mode \s matches any whitespace - even non-breakable
one - the regexp generates false positives.

As a workaround I have replaced \s by normal space, but of course this
breaks textwrap if the replace_whitespace option is set to false...

Bug#622902: sisu: Unclear how to get latex output

2011-04-15 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: sisu
Version: 2.7.9-1
Severity: normal

The package description and the man page both claim that sisu can
produce latex code. But from the documentation I don't see how to
call sisu to actually get there.

If I try to generate PDF output then latex code probably gets
generated in some temporary file, but gets deleted afterwards.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Bug#614419: installation-reports: kfreebsd-i386 netboot installer doesn't detect ethernet device

2011-02-26 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi!

Thanks for your fast response.

 You can find info on what happens in the installation on console 4 and you
 have the install log /var/log/installer/syslog)
 Can you send the install log (gzipped) ?

I found some logs in /var/log/syslog and it's just a few kB, so sending
it inline:

Comments/Problems:

Booting the kfreebsd-i386 installer via DHCP went fine. However then the
installer reported that it didn't find any network interface. At first
I thought this was some firmware issue (on linux the interfaces uses the
e100 driver) but then I tried the i386 netboot installer and this time
(with linux) the installation went ok without any manual actions related
to firmware. So obviously firmware is no excuse for kfreebsd not
detecting the interface.

When looking around in the shell of the (kfreebsd) installer, I also 
noticed that there seemed no USB support at all, that is no way to
mount usb storage or activate usb wifi. - But I don't have much
experience with *BSD at all, so maybe I just didn't do the right
thing...

I'm now writing this installation report from this very machine, but
with linux installed not kfreebsd. So the information below is linux
output despite the report primarly concerning kfreebsd.

If there is anything I can do to help you debug/fix this: Please let
me know.

Bug#494372: iproute: Description in tc-prio(8) is inconsistent or unclear

2008-08-08 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: iproute
Version: 20061002-3
Severity: normal

In the man page tc-prio(8) there is the following table:

The description says:
The  last column shows the result of the default priomap. On the
command line, the default priomap looks like this:
1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 0, 0 , 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

To me it is not obvious how this maps together. Actually I suspect
that the table is buggy, because for example band 0 is mentioned
four times in the table but twice in the command line version ...

Do I miss something?

Kind regards,
Harald

Bug#151292: route: MSS bug still present

2007-08-02 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-17
Followup-For: Bug #151292

Hi!

I can still reproduce the problem, that route MSS M doesn't set the
default MSS value to M but to M-(header size). I think either
the behavior of route should be changed or the man page for route
should be updated to reflect this ...

HTH,
Harald

Bug#308631: fbpanel: breaks mouse after launching two apps and switching to Konsole

2007-07-16 Thread Harald Geyer
 What about this bug, was it fixed in fbpanel 4.9-1?

I just tried and i can't reproduce it anymore. Also i downgraded
to fbpanel 4.1-2 and i can't reproduce it there either. So it seems
the problem was not in fbpanel itself or i'm to dumb to follow the
instructions in my own bug report ...

I guess you can close this report. I won't be able to give futher
input. The original hardware is now broken and i won't install sarge
on a new system to investigate this further.


Cheers,
Harald

Bug#295042: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86: cannot use keyboard in gdm or kdm after fresh install of sarge

2007-01-19 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi Brice,
 
 About 2 years ago, you reported (or replied to) a bug in the Debian BTS
 regarding unusable keyboard in gdm or kdm after sarge install, possibly
 related to the mouse configuration. 

Well, the issue I had, was not related to gdm oder kdm or any display
manager but direcly to the X Server.

Actually it's a hardware bug with the PS/2 controller of some mainboards,
I think I refered to a gpm bug log, where the issue is discussed in length,
in this bug's log somewhere. In essence the hardware bug was triggered
by the X default configuration of two years ago.

 Did any of you guys reproduce this
 problem recently? If not, I will close this bug in the next weeks.

I don't have access to the specific hardware, which showed the problem,
anymore. I don't know how widespread this buggy mainboards was/is.

Regards,
Harald

The last line is the german term for segementation fault.

On the same system the x-version seems to work fine. After doing
modprobe vga16fb linphonec works fine also.

I'm somewhat surprised to see a package with uitoolkit::ncurses 
depend on libsdl1.2debian and thus libdirectfb. If it was only
to make the linker happy, so be it (though I'd still consider this
unnecessary bloat), but permanently activating framebuffer is not
an option, because it's way slower.

Harald

Bug#390709: nmh post tries to execve no instead of sendmail on amd64 system

2006-10-02 Thread Harald Geyer
  I found this bug because I couldn't send outgoing mail using MH and
  eventually strace'd post to find that it was calling execve on no
  with other arguments appearing to be  sendmail arguments.
 
 Interesting.
 
 I had heard inklings of this bug, I wonder if its a build problem
 though. Could you rebuild nmh on your system (with postfix installed)
 and see if it fixes the problem for you?

This is a bug in the configure script. It has already been fixed
upstream.

For an explanation see the thread starting at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2006-04/msg00010.html

especially:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2006-04/msg00013.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2006-04/msg00015.html

Dunno why this only seems to hit amd64.

Harald

Package: translate

Hi!

When I teach translate a new word, it add's a line to
~/.translate/xx-yy
However this line is encoded in latin-9 (my system default), but
on reading translate expects UTF-8 and thus either doesn't 
find entries with non-Ascii characters or crashes on displaying

Bug#363909: gcl: version in etch breaks maxima 5.9.3

2006-04-20 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: gcl
Version: 2.6.7-14
Severity: normal

Hi!

I compiled the original maxima 5.9.3 sources, which worked fine.
However with the newly compiled maxima binary I get the following
session:

(%i1) bug_report();

The Maxima bug database is available at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=104933group_id=4933func=browse
Submit bug reports by following the 'Submit New' link on that page.
Please include the following build information with your bug report:
-

Maxima version: 5.9.3
Maxima build date: 13:0 3/31/2006
host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
lisp-implementation-type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
lisp-implementation-version: GCL 2.6.7

-
The above information is also available from the Maxima function build_info().

(%o1)

Is  a b  positive or negative?

Is  a b  positive or negative?

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Console interrupt.

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
(%i3)



That is: Maxima asks the same question over and over again, without
giving me a chance to enter anything.

The same maxima sources work under sarge without any problems. So I
guess, it must be gcl's fault.

It seems that nmh 1.2 is again a broken release (at least on *BSD).
Since Debian also has a BSD port, I suggest waiting for 1.2.1 or

Bug#146449: [Nmh-workers] things still to fix for this release?

2005-11-13 Thread Harald Geyer
[CCing the Debian BTS]

   You didn't include it in your list, but we perhaps ought to consider bug
   9228:
   https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitemitem_id=9228
   
   Anyone know the history of $mheditor? Can we just remove the reference
   in the man page?
 
 i only checked 1.1, but mheditor sure looks like it's honored to me.
 i think the bug report is bogus.

I once forwarded this bug from the Debian BTS. I believe I did some
tests then and came to the same conclusion as the original submitter.
However I agree, that I can't reproduce this anymore. It seems to work
as expected in the CVS version and the Debian version. Therefore I'll
close both bug reports.

Harald

Bug#332696: gnumeric-plugins-extra: python unuseable under german locale

2005-10-07 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: gnumeric-plugins-extra
Version: 1.5.90-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Start gnumeric with a german locale ([EMAIL PROTECTED] in my case) and 
the following session from the python console shows the problem:

 print 1.2
1.0
 print 1.2+1.3
2.0
 print 1,2
1 2
 print 1,2+1,3
1 3 3
 print 7.2/2
3,5

Obviously the decimal point isn't interpreted correctly. I don't
understand the above behavior, but if I start gnumeric under LANG=C
everything works as expected.

Also note that this is not a problem with python itself: The standalone
python interpreter works ok under any locale I tried.

Bug#308631: fbpanel: breaks mouse after launching two apps and switching to Konsole

2005-05-11 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: fbpanel
Version: 4.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi!

The following problem is a bit strange and exotic, feel free lower the
severity or tag it unreproducible if it seems appropriate. It took me
quite some time to reproduce it reliably an MY computer:

I start X using startx and the following /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc:
-- start -
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
#
# global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit (startx)

# invoke global X session script
#. /etc/X11/Xsession

metacity --sm-disable 
fbpanel
- end -

The configuration of fbpanel ist included below.

When fbpanel is up, I launch a xterm and immediately (i.e. before the
xterm shows up) I launch the browser (Mozilla) too. Next I switch to
the Konsole via Ctrl-Alt-F1. This also needs to happen, before the
xterm appears on the screen.

'ps -A' gives the following Output:
 2956 tty3 00:00:00 startx
 2967 tty3 00:00:00 xinit
 2968 ?00:00:01 XFree86
 2973 tty3 00:00:00 sh
 2974 tty3 00:00:05 metacity
 2975 tty3 00:00:04 fbpanel
 2977 tty3 00:00:00 x-terminal-emul
 2978 pts/000:00:00 bash

Obviously fbpanel didn't start the browser.

If I go back to X, I see that the browser icon is still pressed (even if
I move the mouse away), I can move the mouse and type into the xterm (it has
the focus), but I neither clicking nor moving the mouse has any effect.
(i. e. The cursor doesn't change if I move it over the border of the
window and i can't move or resize it)

It seems that both, fbpanel and metacity stay alive: 'top' doesn't show
any anomalies and if I start 'xmessage Test' from the xterm I get
a message window, which is correctly decorated, shows up in the
panel and has the focus.

Thus it seems the only thing, that doesn't work is processing the
mouse events. Sorry, I haven't been able to produce any useful debugging
information yet.

Please note, that I need this very sequence to reproduce the problem.
If I launch the browser prior to the xterm or change anything else, it
works fine. Also you need to be very fast, because you need to do
everyting before the xterm appears on the screen.

This is my fbpanel configuration:

Bug#295042: Keyboard problem resolved

2005-02-25 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi Braden and all!

I can now confirm that indeed a bad mouse setup is causing all that
keyboard trouble:

After adding a CorePointer Option to the Section about the USB-mouse
and commenting out the PS2-mouse from the ServerLayout Section, the
keyboard is working now.

If you want the technical details, then please read #169427.

Bug#295042: Keyboard problems

2005-02-24 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi Braden!

You have sent your message to the wrong Bug# too. Thus fullquoteing
it here:

 Wow, I wish I could help you, but I haven't solved my own problem yet.   
If I 
 do find out what it is I will let you know ASAP, but it doesn't look like
 the 
 solution will be in my grasp soon.  I've talked to several people about
 the 
 keyboard setup, and they all say that my settings are correct, so I am
 going 
 to assume that yours is as well.  The only way I have been able to work 
 around the problem is to connect remotely via XDMCP.  Its not the best 
 solution (or a good solution), but it has given me X access to the box.

Probably I haven't made my point clear enough by referring to bug
#169427: I believe the cause is not keyboard setup but the mouse
setup. Hopefully I can confirm that tomorrow when I have access to
the affected PC again ...

Bug#295242:

2005-02-23 Thread Harald Geyer
Hi!

I ran into this while setting up a friends machine. Unfortunately there
is no internet there, so I couldn't look into the BTS there and now
I don't have the PC available. Sorry for the incomplete information!

Ad Braden: Can you confirm, whether the same problem shows up when
starting X with startx?

I believe that this bug is an instance of the problems described in
#169427, but here are the details:

I set up the machine with sarge-installer RC2, Kernel 2.4
The keyboard is ordinary pc105 on a PS2-Port.
The mouse is on USB.

After a few tries we got gpm running. (Sorry don't remember the
details, didn't expect any real trouble then.)

Issuing xstart as an ordinary user brougth up X without trouble.
I don't know, whether the keyboard worked at that time. My friend
pressed some key-combinations he doesn't remember. (They had some
effect at least.) At some point the keyboard went away. Neither
of Ctrl-Alt-Fn nor anything else showed any effect.

After terminating the running Gnome-Session using the mouse, we
got the ttys back, but the keyboard was in trouble there too:
To me it seems like the Ctrl-key was pressed the whole time
(d leading to eof (logout), s leading to Scroll_Lock - I don't
know a possibility to recover from that, ans Scroll_Lock itself
leading to Show_State)

As we believed the keyboard configuration to be wrong, we tried a lot
of different things. But all in subsequent tries the keyboard was
broken under X from the very beginning (even after cold booting).
In some cases ttys worked well after the x server had terminated
and sometimes the above Ctrl-key problem showed up again. We can't
reproduce this reliably yet.

After reading #169427 I believe that the mouse setting is causing
that and IIRC we had the very same setting of Configured Mouse
and Generic Mouse as Braden has. I don't have access to the PC
ATM, so I can't investigate this further.

Hopefully this is helpful to somebody. I'll send a follow up as
soon as I have access to the affected computer again.

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=295242, it's a but
  related to update-alternatives for java, while you seem to be talking
  about a xfree problem.

Yes, you are totally right. It should be #295042

Sorry, for the inconvenience.

Harald
