Bug#1021248: rrdcached: Remove $remote_fs from /etc/init.d/rrdcached

2022-10-04 Thread Robert Sander

Package: rrdcached
Version: 1.7.2-3+b7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I want to suggest removing the dependency on $remote_fs for rrdcached.

I assume that in 99% of cases rrdached writes to a local filesystem.
The remaining cases can be handled by adding $remote_fs again or even by 
using a systemd override (After=remote-fs.target).


I am getting a circular dependency with another service that has to be 
started after rrdcached but before a remote filesystem can be mounted.

Bug#955480: Acknowledgement (Kernel 5.4 does not like megaraid_sas controller)

Hi,

I think the bug can be closed.

I switched the BIOS to UEFI and now kernel 5.4 is able to use the
megaraid_sas controller without any issue.

Bug#926208: Bad Dual-Stack initscript error handling

2019-09-19 Thread Robert Sander
Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.4.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #926208

Dear Maintainer,

this happens when dhcpd6.conf does not contain a valied configuration
because the admin does not intend to use it.

One solution is to define INTERFACESv4 in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server.

The cleaner solution would be to split the systemd unit into two, one
for IPv4 and one for IPv6. The fact the /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server
tries to start two daemons at once is not very good, IMHO.

Bug#907637: bonding with virtio NICs does not work any more

2018-08-30 Thread Robert Sander
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9.110-3+deb9u4
Severity: critical

Hi,

For network testing reasons I run several KVM VMs with up to now four virtio 
NICs,
where only one NIC is connected and the others are marked as "link_down" in the
KVM configuration.

In the guest the NICs are configured as bonding device with lacp. Up to 
linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64
this worked without issues. Starting with linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64 the kernel 
now reports
after booting:

Aug 27 12:01:39 test-gate-1 kernel: [   22.881163] bond0: link status up for 
interface ens18, enabling it in 0 ms
Aug 27 12:01:39 test-gate-1 kernel: [   22.882881] bond0: failed to get link 
speed/duplex for ens18

speed/duplex for ens18
Aug 27 12:01:39 test-gate-1 kernel: [   23.089250] bond0: link status up for 
interface ens18, enabling it in 0 ms
Aug 27 12:01:39 test-gate-1 kernel: [   23.091765] bond0: failed to get link 
speed/duplex for ens18
Aug 27 12:01:40 test-gate-1 kernel: [   23.193170] bond0: link status up for 
interface ens18, enabling it in 0 ms
Aug 27 12:01:40 test-gate-1 kernel: [   23.195772] bond0: failed to get link 
speed/duplex for ens18

ethtool also shows unknown speed and duplex for the virtio interfaces.

This seems to not have been an issue before linux-4.9.0-7.

Switching the virtual NICs from virtio to vmxnet3 solves the issue,
ethtool also reports speed and duplex mode.

I do not know if this is a KVM issue or a kernel issue, but as
the older kernel image works it looks more like a kernel issue to me.

Please make -d date extension the default behaviour of savelog.

Motivation:

We are using an rsync based incremental backup (like rsnapshot).
When files stay the same only hardlinks are created on the backup volume.
Rotated logfiles with daily or weekly changing names need more space.

where printer settings done as printer admin on the samba print server
are not used as default by a normal client.

It does not matter which printer driver is used, the client always
see the defaults as standard settings and device configuration.

The causes some costs here as we want to use a color printer model as
a blackwhite printer with a second printer share. The blackwhite
printer setting is not honored by the clients and they still print in color.

  Description : Python WBEM client

PyWBEM is a Python library that implements a Web Based Enterprise
Management (WBEM) client.  It performs WBEM operations using the
CIM-XML and CIM Operations over HTTP protocols as defined by the
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).  WBEM is used to remotely
describe and manage distributed computing environments.  It is a peer
and perhaps successor to the SNMP protocol.



There is already an ITP in bug #364675, but it is two years old.

Any news?

Bug#104278: sysklogd: Date-based rotated logfile names

2009-03-02 Thread Robert Sander
Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.5-5
Followup-For: Bug #104278

Hi,

I think it is a good idea to add some configurable options to the logfile 
rotation of sysklogd.

I would like to see -d in the savelog call to have date-based rotated logfile 
names instead of integers.

This could be done by adding another config variable.

Bug#448147: apcupsd: Please make value of $SYSADMIN easier configurable

2007-10-26 Thread Robert Sander
Package: apcupsd
Version: 3.12.4-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

apcupsd calls scripts located in /etc/apcupsd for various events.

Currently every single script contains SYSADMIN=root for the destination
email address.

Please make that variable more easily configurable. E.g. by moving it to
/etc/default/apcupsd and sourcing that file in the various scripts.

Or are there reasons that every single script may need a different
destination email address?

Bug#440041: request-tracker3.6: sub Redirect() in ./lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm assumes wrong port when used via proxy

2007-08-29 Thread Robert Sander
Package: request-tracker3.6
Version: 3.6.1-4
Severity: minor

Hi!

We have been using RT with apache behind an apache-ssl proxy.
The proxy was doing SSL on port 443, and RT was running on port 80.

The sub Redirect() in ./lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm now always returned a
wrong URL because it got the port number from the apache environment.
The environment contained 80 as port number as this was the port the
proxy spoke to, but the user's web browser was talking to the proxy on
port 443.

The browser now got an URL redirect to https://rt.company.com:80/ and
failed as it was not able to speak SSL on port 80.

We have solved that issue by moving the RT installation to the
apache-ssl server running on port 443, removing the proxy situation.

I am creating this bug report because I think the logic in this function
has to be reviewed for situations like we encountered.

sarge? Do we need to install the up-to-now unstable AMD64 port?

Bug#343476: graphviz-dev: Libraries are stored in uncommon directory

2005-12-15 Thread Robert Sander
Package: graphviz-dev
Version: 2.2.1-1sarge1
Severity: important

Hi!

When compiling a program and linking it to graphviz libraries one need
to supply -L/usr/lib/graphviz and extend LD_LIBRARY_PATH with that
directory, otherwise linking and execution will fail.

Why are the libraries not stored in /usr/lib ?

Is that expected behaviour of the package?

But we are talking about Debian here, which is one variety of GNU/Linux.

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not recommended as it is a royal-pain for the user.
 Instead I recommend use of --rpath
 
 Using pkgconfig you can set this up with:
 
CFLAGS=`pkg-config libgvc --cflags` -Wall -g -O2
LDFLAGS=-Wl,--rpath -Wl,`pkg-config libgvc --variable=libdir` 
 `pkg-config libgvc --libs`

pkg-config fails because libgvc.pc is stored in
/usr/lib/graphviz/pkgconfig, see this bugreport:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=313508

I should have added my bugreport to this one:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=312533
which is not fixed by changing the aptitude packages.

Bug#312682: amavis-ng should better evaluate return codes of virus scanner (esp. h+bedv antivir)

2005-06-09 Thread Robert Sander
Package: amavis-ng
Version: 0.1.6.9-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

We have amavis-ng, H+BEDV's antivir and qmail running.

When an email goes through the chain and in the same second the antivir
updater retireves a new antivir.vdf virus description antivir exits with
code 212: The file antivir.vdf could not be read.

amavis-ng should better react to that error code and exit with code 111
(in case of qmail) denoting a temporary failure (deferral). Maybe other
MTAs have similar means for program deliveries.

Maybe there are other circumstances which should be treated as temporary
failures and not cause amavis-ng to put these emails into the problems
directory.

Bug#310822: php4-auth-pam: pam_auth.so compiled against wrong PHP version?

2005-05-26 Thread Robert Sander
Package: php4-auth-pam
Version: 0.4-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi!

pam_auth.so resides in /usr/lib/php4/20020429-zts and not
/usr/lib/php4/20020429 and is obviously compiled against a PHP4 version
that is not the standard in Debian. The module cannot be loaded.

The error message I get when trying to load the module is:

Warning: dl(): pam_auth: Unable to initialize module Module compiled
with module API=20020429, debug=0, thread-safety=1 PHP compiled with
module API=20020429, debug=0, thread-safety=0

   RAWBITS P4-Header), JPEG or TIFF files.

   SFF  files  containing more than one page will be split into one output
   file per page, except for TIFF output  which  will  be  one multipaged
   file.

OPTIONS
   -h   -help
 Show summary of options.

   -v   -version
 Show version of program.

   -b   -bmp
 OUTFILE is one monochrome BMP file for each fax page.

   -p   -pbm
 OUTFILE is one Portable Bitmap file for each fax page.

   -j[NUM]   -jpg=[NUM]
 OUTFILE  is  one JPEG file for each fax page. NUM is optional
 and specifies the jpeg quality in percent (1..99)

   -T   -tifs
 OUTFILE is one single-page TIFF file for each fax page.

   -t   -tif
 OUTFILE is one multi-paged TIFF file containing all pages.

   -x   -ext
 Append type extension to output filename (e.g. '.bmp', etc.).

   -o   -orgres
 Do not double lines in output image for low-res faxes.

Output naming
   Please  give the name of the outfile without extension. If the sff-file
   contains multiple pages for each of them a separate file will  be cre-
   ated, named:

   outfile001
   outfile002
   outfilexxx

   If  you  want sfftobmp to add a extension to the filename, add the -x
   option to the commandline. The filename(s) will then be

   outfilexxx.bmp  or
   outfilexxx.pbm  and so on...

   TIFF is capable to contain more pages within one file,  therefore only
   one  multipaged TIFF file will be created in this case.  If you want to
   have one TIFF file for each fax page, use -T instead of -t.

   For JPEG output you can optionally set the JPEG quality used by adding
   a two-digit number between 1 and 99 to the option.

OUTPUT on STDOUT
   Output  on  stdout is available for multipaged TIFF output only (option
   -t). Use - as output filename in this case:

   sfftobmp -t infile.sff -  out.tif

   same:

   sfftobmp -t infile.sff -  out.tif

   NOTE: Reading from stdin is not supported.

Resolution Handling
   SffToBmp keeps resolution information intact. This means, if  you con-
   vert  a  fax  with 203x98 dpi this resolution information is written in
   the output file if it is supported by the output format. This is JPEG,
   TIFF and BMP.

   However,  as  many  bitmap viewer applications are not considering this
   information while displaying the bitmap, SffToBmp  defaults  to double
   scanlines if a low-res fax (i.e. 203x98 dpi) is converted.

   In  case  your  image viewer does actually treat resolution information
   correctly (your image will look stretched vertically in this case), you
   can suppress this scanline-doubling by specifying the -o option.

sfftobmp instead gives the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sfftobmp -h

Usage: sfftobmp [options] INFILE1 [INFILE2 ..] [-o OUTSPEC]


That means the man page is totally out of date as the meaning of the
-o switch has changed. Please correct that.

I stumbled across this documentation bug when trying to install
capisuite. It uses sfftobmp to generate a PDF attachment for incoming
faxes. Unfortunately it still relies on the old behaviour, but I think I
have to file another bug against capisuite then...
