Bug#398590: eclipse: Modal dialogs prevent scrolling in Help, which makes tutorials almost unusable.

2006-11-14 Thread Roland Turner
Package: eclipse
Version: 3.1.2-2
Severity: normal

Eclipse includes various tutorials with step-by-step instructions
for various tasks. Sadly the various modal dialogs required for
the tasks (create project, import archive, ...) prevent scrolling
of the help viewer  (although they don't prevent changing focus
to it to view it), which makes the tutorials very difficult to
work through.

The presence of screenshots in the tutorials makes the get an
entire set of steps into view before starting to follow them
unworkable because, typically, it really is neccessary to scroll
to work through an entire list of steps.

Browsing them with some other browser (e.g. Firefox) is a
non-starter appears to be a non-starter as the help info isn't
packaged in raw HTML files.

Bug#397420: netsed: localhost is resolved as 255.255.255.255

2006-11-07 Thread Roland Turner
Package: netsed
Version: 0.01c-2
Severity: normal

I can't even guess why this is happening, unless netsed is special-casing
the hostname localhost. In my environment, /etc/hosts contains 127.0.0.1
localhost and, say, ping resolves this correctly, but netsed attempts to
forward to 255.255.255.255 which, obviously, does not work.

Bug#397421: zope: logrotate doesn't handle the absence of logs correctly

2006-11-07 Thread Roland Turner
Package: zope
Version: 2.6.4-1.8
Severity: normal

/etc/logrotate.d/zope correctly specifies missingok, but as the
postrotate script (zopectl logrotate) is run unconditionally and
as zopectl chokes on performing a logrotate for instances that
are not running at the time, useless emails about zope brokenness

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/zope/*/*.log 
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

appear weekly. Whether the postrotate script should make itself
consistent with the presence of the missingok diretcive (i.e.
only call zopectl if there were in fact log files to rotate) or,
more robustly, whether zopectl should deal gracefully with
log rotation requests for non-running instances (i.e. silently
and successfully do nothing) is an open question, but the current
behaviour is a little broken.

(I'd suggest the latter approach as the problem is with an
instance being down at the time of rotation regardless of how
long it's been down for, rather than that it's been down for
an entire calendar week; the solution should test for whether an
instance is running, which is zopectl's domain.)

Bug#382029: gnome-gv continually opens gratuitious FTP connections to 208.113.133.22

2006-08-11 Thread Roland Turner (Debian)
severity 382029 normal
retitle 382029 gnome-gv gratuitously opens URLs from .recently-used
stop

Hi Christian,

 gnome-gv couldn't display the file here, too, but I did not notice any FTP
 connections. 
 
 Which process exactly was it that you attached the strace to? Firefox or a
 still running gnome-gv process?

I attached to the still-running [parent] gnome-gv process (there was a
parent-child-grandchild trio!). The behaviour was the same when I
launched gnome-gv manually.

 The IP 208.113.133.22 is registered to
 munchies.dreamhost.com from New Dream Network, LLC in California. Does this
 ring any bell to you?

(Lightbulb!)

I'd noticed through whois that it was a dreamhost address, and I am a
dreamhost customer, but so are thousands of others so I thought nothing
of it. Had I performed a reverse-DNS lookup, I'd have recognised
munchies as an FTP server provided for customers to upload content to,
and I have accessed it (months ago) through nautilus.

$ strace -eopen,connect gnome-gv mazieres\:pnym.ps.gz 21 | grep /raz/
open(/home/raz/.Xauthority, O_RDONLY) = 4
open(/home/raz/.orbitrc, O_RDONLY)= -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open(/home/raz/.ICEauthority, O_RDONLY) = 13
open(/home/raz/.ICEauthority, O_RDONLY) = 13
open(/home/raz/.ICEauthority, O_RDONLY) = 13
open(/home/raz/.ICEauthority, O_RDONLY) = 13
open(/home/raz/.recently-used, O_RDWR) = 16
open(/home/raz/.local/share//mime/globs, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 17
open(/home/raz/.local/share//mime/magic, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 17

Bingo! There are several ftp://munchies.dreamhost.com/ entries
in /home/raz/.recently-used.

So, the bug is now that gnome-gv, or something that it loads, is
gratuitously opening URLs from .recently-used.

Thoughts?

Bug#382029: gnome-gv continually opens gratuitious FTP connections to 208.113.133.22

2006-08-08 Thread Roland Turner
Package: gnome-gv
Version: 1:2.8.2-3
Severity: critical
Justification: root security hole

{{ note that the Severity: _may_ be overstated, I simply don't know; but
if gnome-gv can be made to open outbound FTP connections by the contents
of a postscript file, then this is potentially a very serious hole, on a
par with local root exploits }}

When viewing a local copy of
http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/~dm/papers/mazieres:sundr-podc.ps.gz (Firefox
had downloaded it to /tmp/mazieres:sundr-podc.ps.gz and invoked gnome-gv
as /usr/bin/gnome-gv /tmp/mazieres:sundr-podc.ps.gz) two odd things
happened:

- gnome-gv never appeared. (I assumed that I had choked in the .gz, so I
uncompressed the file, converted to PDF for good measure and opened and
viewed it with xpdf.)

- An hour later I noticed unexpected network traffic. Upon digging a little
deeper I noticed continual failed anonymous FTP login attempts to
208.113.133.22.

I also suspect, but haven't checked, that [ ! -z $new_domain_name ]

That's an interesting assertion. As far as I can tell, Debian kernels
support OSS just fine. Further, when I do unload the OSS emulation
modules and attempt to use ALSA interfaces directly, most stuff breaks.
I'm not all that interested in having working volume control at the cost
of having no working sound!

(Please do not offer assistance on the switch to ALSA, I do not wish to

If you're unable to reproduce the bug, then by all means close the

This is largely to bring it in line with pumount, eject and the

/dev will do. (Apart from which, being in /dev is a requirement,

Bug#340698: growisofs: misfeature: non-overridable refusal to write 50% of a DL DVD

2005-11-25 Thread Roland Turner
Package: dvd+rw-tools
Version: 5.21.4.10.8-1
Severity: normal

When writing to a DL DVD, growisofs checks whether the data to be
written will occupy 50% of the disk and, if not, refuses the
write operation with the message:

use single layer media for this recording

This is good advice for penny-pinchers but when the DVD is being
used as an offsite backup medium by an automated process, saving a
few dollars is not revelant. The fact that this advice cannot be
overridden (e.g. by a --force-wasteful-write-to-dl-dvd option) makes
this misfeature serious enough to describe it as a bug.

(Background to explain why this is an issue: Our backup job runs on
Thursday nights. Generating the backup data, writing it and then
reading it back to verify it takes a number of hours. Someone visits
on Fridays to take the written disk offsite and insert a new blank.
The amount of data to be written varies from week to week (sometimes
more than 4.7GB, sometimes less) and isn't determined until six days
after the blank disc is inserted. The person who rotates the disc
(a) does not have a supply of single layer DVDs to insert and, even
if he did, (b) can't hang around for hours while the job re-runs.)

Bug#339005: console-common: install-keymap runs loadkeys without -q, interacts wrongly with debconf, succeeds but exits non-zero

2005-11-14 Thread Roland Turner

+ RET=20 Unsupported command loading (full line was Loading

(This non-zero exit is a problem for use of the script from within
a whiptail-based setup tool which interprets this as a failure.)

Apparently loadkeys is being chatty and debconf is consuming stdout as a
command channel. Other loadkey invocations in the script do use -q. Adding
-q to this last invocation yields:

+ /bin/loadkeys -q /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
++ '[' '!' 1 ']'
++ '[' -z '' ']'

which is presumably what is actually intended (and which returns 0 on

Bug#338114: cron-apt: Please consider using /etc/cron.daily instead of /etc/cron.d, as anacron ignores the latter

2005-11-08 Thread Roland Turner
Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.3.0
Severity: wishlist

Pretty much as per the subject. While an administrator can make
pretty much any configuration (s)he wishes, the default is daily,
but as this is implemented in /etc/cron.d instead of
/etc/cron.daily, it simply doesn't happen on machines running
anacron.

Bug#338150: nautilus-cd-burner: Please consider accepting .iso9660 as a suffix for image files, as well as .iso

2005-11-08 Thread Roland Turner
Package: nautilus-cd-burner
Version: 2.8.7-3
Severity: wishlist

.iso is a widespread, but meaningless (which ISO format?) extension for
CD images; as it stands, Nautilus penalises users of the more
descriptive .iso9660 suffix. Please consider supporting this one
too. (By support I mean have 'Write to Disc' appear on the
right-click menu.)

Bug#337926: gnome-media: gnome-volume-control/mixer_applet2 only persists partial settings

2005-11-07 Thread Roland Turner
Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.8.0-0.4
Severity: normal

I'm not clear on whose responsibility it is to save/restore
volume settings, but somewhere gnome is getting this wrong. The
above two are my best guess.

When I reboot, the Volume setting is retained, but the PCM
setting is not, rendering the former useless as it is still
neccessary to fire up gnome-volume-control to raise the PCM
setting above zero to get any sound to play.

Bug#332796: syslog-ng: error handling is more subtle than I thought

2005-10-09 Thread Roland Turner
Package: syslog-ng
Version: 1.6.5-2.2
Followup-For: Bug #332796

Apologies, I need to withdraw some of my earlier report.

start-stop-daemon provides no means to distinguish between a
failure to stop a running instance (which is a problem for a
restart) and there being no instance to stop (which is not). Even
if it did, the --exec would prevent it from correctly detecting a
running instance during an upgrade. So, I acknowledge that the
error handling problem is more subtle than it looked (and that,
oddly, I've never noticed this before...), but still believe
using --exec with --stop is unadvisable because it'll prevent
a restart after an upgrade.

Bug#332796: syslog-ng: Incorrect error handling in init.d script, causes failure to restart during upgrade, may cause other probs

2005-10-08 Thread Roland Turner
Package: syslog-ng
Version: 1.6.5-2.2
Severity: normal

As per /etc/init.d/skeleton (from which /etc/init.d/syslog-ng is created), -e
should always be set in init.d scripts. In syslog-ng's case, it
is not. This has been work around for failres to start by having
lots of '|| exit 1', but no attention has been paid to failures
to stop. A better approach is to turn and then to use '|| true'
to explicitly ignore errors. (N.B. see #310305 where a 'failure
to stop is not an error' has probably led to the situation where
multiple instances can be running at once.)

On to the specific problems:

'start-stop-daemon --stop' should, ordinarily, not be used in
conjunction with --exec, certainly not when --pidfile is in use.
The unfortunate consequence of using both is that when the
executable file is deleted, e.g. during a woody-sarge upgrade
(fuser shows the running syslog-ng - that being the running
instance of the old executable -  to be '(deleted)'),
start-stop-daemon is unable to stop the daemon (because no daemon
is running with the named executable). Worse, because of the
incorrect error handling in syslog-ng's init.d script, the
failure to stop does not prevent at attempt to start, which means
that the new instance destroys the still-valid information in the
PID file.

In my case, the new instance fails to start (because port 514 is
busy) and so aborts. As far as start-stop-daemon is concerned,
there is definitely no running instance (no match on pidfile or
executable, so the stop fails, but its attempts to start a new
one also fail, because the port is busy.

To fix: rework the script as per typical scripts:

- 'set -e'
- don't use --exec with 'start-stop-daemon --stop'
- failure of start-stop-daemon to stop the daemon is an error,
  and should cause an error message and non-zero exit.

Bug#331657: xpdf: changethis.com popup text obscures document

2005-10-04 Thread Roland Turner
Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.00-13
Severity: normal

I have some reservations about changethis.com's stance on
document presentation, and no way of knowing where fault lies
in this case, but notice that the below symptom does not
appear with gpdf or Acrobat reader. This problem is either an
xpdf bug (which is worth reporting on its own merit) or with
changethis.com and the other viewers (in which case
bug-compatibility with other viewers is probably still worth
pursuing).

If you view essentially any of changethis.com's manifestos (e.g. [1])
a box titled GO AHEAD AND PRINT THIS appears over the document
text.

Bug#323794: postgresql: For local connections, convert.pg_hba.conf only works for ident and pam, all other methods are forced to pam

2005-08-18 Thread Roland Turner
Package: postgresql
Version: 7.4.7-6sarge1
Severity: normal

46: if ($method eq ident or $method = pam) {

The = should be eq.

As it stands, not only does this test always succeed (so the
test later in the script which verifies that the parameter is
only set in the ident or pam always determines that there's no
problem, even if there is one), but the $method variable, which
is used in generating the new pg_hba.conf file, has been changed,
meaning that configurations which worked correctly, and would
continue to work correctly if the authentication method was
unchanged, now cease working and the postinst itself ends up
having problems in some situations.

Further, the test for excess parameters fails to deal with the
optional extra parameter for the password, md5 (and perhaps crypt?)
methods. So, not only should = be replaced with eq, but
additional tests for password, md5 and, perhaps, crypt should be
added.

Bug#317510: irda-utils: irdadump -v is mis-documented

2005-07-09 Thread Roland Turner
Package: irda-utils
Version: 0.9.16-9
Severity: normal

The manpage says -v is verbose.

Using -v gives a version message and exits.

irdadump's usage message fails to mention -v at all.

I suspect that the rational course here is to assume that the documentation
is in error and so update the manpage and usage message (rather than modify
the tool to implement a verbose mode).

Bug#311374: gedit no longer opens new files as tabs on existing instance

2005-05-31 Thread Roland Turner
Package: gedit

Gedit used to open new documents as tabs on an existing gedit

with --new-document appear to have no effect. This was a really
cool feature, having it back would be nice.

Bug#310722: acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#310722: udev does not cause snd-pcm-oss to be loaded (for /dev/dsp) without seperate administrator action)

2005-05-26 Thread Roland Turner (Debian)
 Whether or not this workaround is a simple administrative action does
 not make it a non-bug. In order to fix the problem I had to work out
 that
 You should have read README.Debian instead, or just installed alsa-base
 which does everything needed to load snd-pcm-oss.


Apologies for not being clear. At step 1:


 - /dev is no longer the traditional /dev, instead it is an ephemeral
  tree maintained by udev


I skimmed everything at /usr/share/doc/udev (including README.Debian.gz)
and found nothing which said the reason that udev disables sound by
default is that it won't create /dev/dsp until you manually add add
snd-pcm-oss to /etc/modules. This is not a problem on Woody, /dev/dsp is
there from the outset and the kernel takes care of its own plumbing as
soon as an application opens /dev/dsp. The current behaviour of udev will
completely disable sound for all Debian users except those who:
(a) happen to use alsa (a base Sarge install does not do this)

or

(b) manage to work through the series of guesses that I did to get to work
something which should work automatically, and has worked automatically in
several previous releases of Debian.

Further, as  I pointed out in the original report, even if you did, in
reposnse to this bug, add the relevant information to udev's
README.Debian, how is the average to know that the magic information is
hidden in /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian.gz rather than any of the
hundreds of other /usr/share/doc/*/README.Debian* files or thousands of
other files in /usr/share/doc/. It is not reasonable to assume that most
users will be experts in /dev management to even realise that this is the
place to look.

Bug#310722: udev does not cause snd-pcm-oss to be loaded (for /dev/dsp) without seperate administrator action

2005-05-25 Thread Roland Turner
Package: udev
Version: 0.056-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

{{ unrelated in this instance means all packages that use /dev/dsp
for audio I/O; these packages number in the hundreds at least }}

workaround: manually add snd-pcm-oss to /etc/modules

Whether or not this workaround is a simple administrative action
does not make it a non-bug. In order to fix the problem I had to
work out that

- /dev is no longer the traditional /dev, instead it is an ephemeral
  tree maintained by udev
- google a bit to work out that /dev/dsp is provided by snd-pcm-oss
- I already knew about /etc/modules, other users would have to spend
  time and effort learning about it
- add snd-pcm-oss to /etc/modules manually, and modprobe it on the
  running system (Windows-style reboot after every configuration
  change being a less than appealling policy)

I regard myself as being better able to cope with this sort of stuff
than most users and consider the above sequence to be a little
unreasonable even for my level of ability. For most users, expecting
them to get through the above sequence is preposterous. The severity
of the bug is about how difficult it is for a user to solve the problem,
which of neccessity includes the entire diagnosis process, not just the
final, corrective step.

Also, for something this fundamental, an entry in the README would not
be adequate, simply because a big chunk of the diagnosis time is spent
working out that the problem is with udev; until that point, the README
would not even be consulted.

Bug#281758: glabels: glabels file type not correctly recognised by nautilus

2005-02-07 Thread Roland Turner (Debian)
Hi Andrew,


 Are you using the extension .glabels on the end of your files? If so,


(embarrassment) Apparently Nautilus is case-sensitive wrt filename
extensions, the extension on the file in question was .gLabels which
wasn't matching. Not a glabels bug.

Thanks.

Bug#292960: nautilus: Opening HTML file from WebDAV share with Text Editor launches Epiphany

2005-01-31 Thread Roland Turner
Package: nautilus
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal

I'm not even sure where to report this, but in the limited sense that
nautilus is opening an unreasonable application, it seems an
appropriate place to file the report, at least initially.

The Subject: line is pretty self explanatory, all I'd add is that
copying the file from the WebDAV share to a local file system and
again right clicking and selecting 'Open with Text Editor'
causes my text editor (gedit) to open instead, which was the
expected behaviour in the first place. Using 'Open with Other
Application' and typing 'gedit' does actually get gedit to open
the file from the WebDAV share. (I am aware that gedit is only
capable of reading from WebDAV shares and will thus open files
read-only, which is a little pointless, but it's a lot clearer
in that case that there is a can't write here problem rather
than I'm randomly opening some unexpected application.)

I assume that this is a configuration problem of some
description, but as I never set up any of this configuration it
seems reasonable to assume that an installer somewhere (perhaps
not Nautilus') is at fault.
