13 years on, if you are still interested in this feature, I suggest you ask for 
it on the cc-mode mailing list:

No development of cc-mode happens on Debian.

Reporting Emacs bugs that aren't specific to Debian (eg packaging) as Debian

Bug#944616:

2020-03-05 Thread J. Smith
It's disappointing to see Emacs 26.3 fail to propagate to Debian testing for 
the best part of six months due to this issue.
This "FTBS" is a single test failure on mips, in test set-process-filter-t.
This test is not present prior to Emacs 26.3.
It was added for https://debbugs.gnu.org/36591 , so if anyone is using Debian 
Emacs on mips, they could try investigating the test failure using the 
information in that report.
Otherwise, skipping the test on mips would allow people on other platforms to 
get an updated Emacs.

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
   Had been having lockup with swiotlb getting overloaded, added
   iommu=force, intel_iommu=on, swiotlb=noforce to fix.  Have reduced
   the swiotlb lockup, but now get a freeze on system with the b44 DMA
   below
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
 Attempting to figure out b44 parametrs to get DMA to work, searched
 with google on how to overcome DMA issues 
   * What was the outcome of this action? no luck
   * What outcome did you expect instead? Reduce DMA issues, stop
 freezes of system

Your backtrace indicates that the error comes from 
debian-ispell-preprocess-dicts-alist, which is provided by
debian-ispell.el from the dictionaries-common package. This is corroborated by 
the fact that the error disappears with -Q, which prevents loading of such 
site-lisp files. Perhaps the basic problem is using 'UTF-8 where 'utf-8 is 
needed.

But this same issue about IVD_Sequences was present in Emacs 24:

It's bad practice to bundle add-ons into the actual Emacs package, so this is 
better interpreted as a request for a new standalone tramp package. Personally 
I think this is extremely low priority, since the Tramp maintainer very 
actively syncs the latest Tramp release into upstream Emacs.



Bug#891063:

2018-08-07 Thread J. Smith
This is not an Emacs bug (or a bug at all) IMO. See eg bug#766464 and its many 
duplicates, or the summary from bug#827639:

   The problem is that you are using su to start a X/GNOME application as
   root. su does not clear the environment, so XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to
   your users path, and the application running with root privileges
   changes the permissions.

   Please stop using su (without -l) or running X apps as root.

I don't think that was due to usrmerge, I think it was related to me having both
libpng12-0 and libpng16-16 installed (?). usrmerge only gets the blame for 
everything that happened afterwards. :)

Thanks for the hint. Adding init=/bin/bash (and changing a ro to rw) worked.
I still had some problems to resolve after that:

1. I could not trivially run convert-usrmerge again. It failed because perl 
could not find libcrypt.so.1. LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked for that. The script 
completed, but reported a number of broken links.

2. On reboot, /sbin/init failed and the system panicked.
ldd /usr/sbin/init revealed a number of missing libraries, eg librt.so.1.
The issue was the same in every case. In /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu,
librt.so.1 was a circular symlink pointing to 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1.
There was a librt.so.1.usrmerge-broken link pointing to librt-2.24.so, which 
was correct. So basically I had to rename all the *usrmerge-broken links.

The full list of affected items was:
libauparse.so.0.usrmerge-broken libnss_nis.so.2.usrmerge-broken
libcap.so.2.usrmerge-broken libpam_misc.so.0.usrmerge-broken
libext2fs.so.2.usrmerge-broken  libply-splash-core.so.4.usrmerge-broken
libgcrypt.so.20.usrmerge-broken libresolv.so.2.usrmerge-broken
libhistory.so.5.usrmerge-broken librt.so.1.usrmerge-broken
libnfsidmap.so.0.usrmerge-brokenlibsmartcols.so.1.usrmerge-broken
libnss_compat.so.2.usrmerge-broken  libudev.so.1.usrmerge-broken
libnss_files.so.2.usrmerge-broken


After fixing all these, the system seems ok again.

Bug#871706: sudo apt-get install usrmerge problems with libpam_misc

2017-08-10 Thread J. Smith
Package: usrmerge
Version: 16
Severity: important


On testing, I ran:


sudo apt-get install usrmerge

In hindsight, this was a mistake...

It aborted partway through with:

  FATAL ERROR:
  Both /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 and 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 exist.

Now my system is very unwell...

su does not work:

  su: error while loading shared libraries: libpam_misc.so.0: cannot open 
shared object   file: No such file or directory


It looks like libpam_misc.so has been partly moved:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpam_misc.so.0.82.0 exists
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpam_misc.so.0 is a broken link pointing to 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpam_misc.so.0

Since su is setuid, I cannot fix this with eg LD_LIBRARY_PATH.


sudo does not work:
  sudo: unknown uid 1000: who are you?


At the moment, I don't know how to fix this. I have no root sessions open on 
the machine, so I cannot eg simply move libpam_misc.so.


:(

Bug#792746: linux: Upgrading to thinkpad T440s laptop to 4.0.8-1 kernel causes external monitors to stop working, with fifo underrun error

2015-07-17 Thread Nathaniel J. Smith
Source: linux
Version: 4.0.8-1
Severity: important

On my thinkpad T440s (Intel graphics), I often use an external (HDMI) monitor
via a docking station. With the 3.16.7-ckt11 version of the kernel, this works
great. With 4.0.8-1 (current in testing), it doesn't work at all -- it detects
that the monitor is there, Xorg.0.log says:

[   103.360] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 3440x1440@60.0 on DP2-1 using pipe
1, position (1920, 0), rotation normal, reflection none
[   104.092] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1920x1080@60.0 on eDP1 using pipe 0,
position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none

but then the kernel log says:

Jul 17 17:10:21 branna kernel: [   13.488687]
[drm:intel_set_cpu_fifo_underrun_reporting [i915]] *ERROR* uncleared fifo
underrun on pipe A
Jul 17 17:10:21 branna kernel: [   13.488707] [drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]]
*ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun

and the external monitor stays resolutely blank. The gnome display settings
tool thinks that it's active, and that it can be configured; each time I try
reconfiguring it I get the fifo underrun error again. But at no point does the
external monitor leave power-saving mode.

Curiously, if I switch to a text console (ctrl-alt-f1), then the text console
*does* appear on both the built-in and external displays.

The cause is definitely the kernel, because if I reboot and select the older
kernel from the grub menu, while keeping everything else the same, then it
works perfectly again.

Bug#774742: linux: Screen intermittently goes black while dmesg fills with WARNINGs from intel DRM driver

2015-01-06 Thread Nathaniel J. Smith
Source: linux
Version: 3.16.0-4-amd64
Severity: important

After running a dist-upgrade yesterday (for the first time in a few weeks), the
intel graphics driver on my laptop (Thinkpad T440s) has started spewing tons of
WARNINGs into my kernel logs, e.g. at suspend/resume (but also other times).

And worse, the screen is randomly and intermittently turning itself off
altogether for a few seconds, and then turning on again. (This may be triggered
by some sort of automatic power savings thing that GNOME is doing, but I can't
connect it with anything obvious -- e.g. it might happen 2 seconds after I have
been typing, so it doesn't seem to be the dim-after-10-minutes-idle timer going
off or anything like that.) Each of these events also causes a similar WARNING
spew in the kernel logs.

These intermittent blank screens seem to come and go: maybe half the time
everything is fine, and then the other half of the time my screen is blinking
on and off multiple times per minute and the computer is extremely frustrating
to use.

Bug#745984: linux: CrashPlan (proprietary backup software) malfunctions when uname -r does not contain a 3-part version number

2014-04-26 Thread Nathaniel J. Smith
Source: linux
Severity: normal

CrashPlan is a backup product:
   http://crashplan.com
They're unusual in this space in that their cloud backup hosting service is a
bazillion times cheaper than everyone else's, and they have full Linux support.
The downside is that you have to use their proprietary backup software (though,
to be fair, it is substantially more featureful than any FOSS equivalent).

However, it apparently also contains a truly terrible bit of code which
attempts to figure out whether the kernel supports inotify by looking at the
kernel version number, and if the kernel version number does not contain 2
dots, then it assumes inotify is *not* available, and disables live filesystem
watching. The effect in practice is that backups are pretty much silently
disabled, so it's seriously dire. And unfortunately, on Debian:

~$ uname -r
3.13-1-amd64

Quoting a response from their customer support:

-

Thank you for contacting Code42 support. Yes, this is a known issue, usually
affecting pre-release Debian users. Here is the notes from Engineering on the
issue:

Our validation of the kernel version is looking for two separating periods and
the realtime file watcher fails to run if this is not found:

From InotifyManager.java, lines 164-170:
/* Kernel versions always have three distinct digits */
String[] versions = m.group(1).split(\.);
if (versions.length  3) {
log.info(Inadequate kernel version information:  + m.group());
return false;
}

We don't have a fix/patch yet, but it looks like it is in the queue to be
looked at, and hopefully a resolution will be pushed out soon. Let me know if I
can answer anything else. Thanks!

--

I'm not sure if Debian should do anything about this, given that it's clearly a
bug in a piece of proprietary software, not in Debian itself. But it is the
case that Debian's handling of the Linux release field is causing real-world
interoperability problems with software that works on (AFAIK) all non-Debian
Linux systems. And if nothing else it's probably helpful for this information
to be recorded somewhere public.

That's just how Emacs works. Adding a directory to the load-path does not cause 
everything in there to be loaded.
You have to load (or require) the relevant library as a separate step.

The files in  /etc/emacs/site-start.d/ are tiny files that mainly just 
(auto)load other files.
Compiling them would bring no visible benefit, and introduce extra complication.
Since Debian compiles separate elc files for each Emacs version, you would need
to add Emacs-version-specific site-start.d directories for this to work.

Do you have any measurable data that shows why it's desirable to compile these 
files?

This is a feature. The idea is that you start the commit log with header 
lines (eg Author: whoever), then have a blank line,
then have the commit message. The blank line is font-locked as a thin bar to 
indicate it separates the header from the body.

Bug#418832: Build fails in Qt 4.2.1 due to known bug

2007-04-12 Thread Matthew J Smith

Package: libqt4-core
Version: 4.2.1-2+b1

My application fails to build when the QT_NO_DEBUG_OUTPUT define is 
made.  This was a known bug in Qt 4.2 which was fixed in v4.2.2; see 
this Trolltech tracker issue:


http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entryid=133796

Build fails with errors like these (I use CMake for configure, hence the 
output style):


[ 54%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/qtm.dir/catkin.o
/usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qglobal.h:1250: error: expected unqualified-id 
before ‘if’
/usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qglobal.h:1250: error: expected unqualified-id 
before ‘else’

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/qtm.dir/catkin.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/qtm.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I use this macro to control my own debug output, not just to suppress 
Qt's own.


I would add that the latest patch release (4.2.3) fixes a bug which 
causes the scroll bar to fail to appear in QTextEdit widgets when text 
starts to go beyond the widget's size.  This is important to me as my 
application uses that class heavily.  I suggest that Qt 4 be updated at 
least to version 4.2.2.


I am using Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.18-4-686, libc6 v2.3.6.ds1-13.
