Bug#526595: bug 519774: dns resolution error with libc6

2009-05-01 Thread Lawrence Curington

Package: libc6
Version: 2.9-4 2.9-8 2.9-9

I too have been bitten by this bug.  Essentially, name resolution quits working 
with many apps.  What is especially bad about this bug is that it also effects 
aptitude!  As you can imagine, this can lead to a really bad catch22 situation. 
 Especially for users less proficient with Debian and/or Linux.

Version 2.9-7 is the only version without this bug.  Versions 2.9-4, 2.9-8, and 
2.9-9 all have this name resolution bug.  Hope this information can be of some 
help in trying to track down the bug

Bug#489479: compatibility issue between xfce4-panel and recent dbus version

2008-07-05 Thread Lawrence Curington
Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.3.99.2-2

Experiencing issue in Etch.

After upgrade of the following packages, xfce4 no
longer brings up the xfce4-panel (panel missing when
xfce4 starts and cannot get into settings to fix it). 
Also cannot bring up panel options from xfce4-settings
applet.

===
[UPGRADE] dbus 1.0.2-1 -> 1.0.2-1+etch1
[UPGRADE] dbus-1-utils 1.0.2-1 -> 1.0.2-1+etch1
[UPGRADE] libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 -> 1.0.2-1+etch1
===

I believe there may be some compatibility issue
between the particular version/build of dbus and xfce4-panel.

Bug#482531: DPMS off mode issue with

2008-05-23 Thread Lawrence Curington
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch3

I've noticed that since I've upgraded from
linux-image-2.6.18-6 version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch1
that I have been having issues with DPMS off mode. 
This began after the following upgrade: '[UPGRADE]
linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch1 ->
2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch3'. it is also present in version
2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch4 as well.  All other versions of
Debian kernels that I've ran have not exhibited this
issue.  So I have a strong feeling the bug was
introduced in 1-18etch3.

What happens is that sometimes the system will not
come out of DPMS off mode.  This issue only happens at
the virtual console, where as in Xorg, DPMS works just
fine.  The problem is a bit intermittent, but I have a
found a way to make it happen more frequently, which
I'll get into more detail further down.  Essentially,
when the buggy DPMS behavior happens, I'll tap a key
like you normally do to get the display to come out of
DPMS (power save mode) when at the console, but in
this case it will show the display for a half second
then go right back into DPMS off mode.  The only way
to bring it out of this buggy DPMS state is to pull
the plug on my LCD monitor to have it completely power
down/reset.

What tends to trigger it the most is when I exit xfce4
(version 4.3.99.2).  As soon as it exits Xorg from
there and goes back to the virtual console it goes
into the buggy DPMS state described above.  I've
noticed that it tends to happen more rarely when
exiting icewm (version 1.2.28-4).  However, sometimes
it will happen just when the virtual console has had a
chance for be idle enough for DPMS off mode to kick
in.

Just for reference, this is in Debian Etch/stable
which you may have already guessed from the versions
of the packages I described above.

Bug#461503: upgrading xserver-xorg-core in etch causes corrupted display of icons in window manager

2008-01-18 Thread Lawrence Curington
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.1.1-21etch2

If you upgrade to this version of xserver-xorg-core in
Debian Etch, it causes some icons in icewm window
manager to display in a corrupted manner.  The actual
pixmaps themselves are not corrupted.  They're just
rendered in a manner that is.  Other WMs and DEs may
possibly also be affected.

Downgrading back to version 2:1.1.1-21etch1 fixes the
rendering problem.  So it definitely is an issue with
version 2:1.1.1-21etch2
