Bug#993384: KDE "global scale" parameter was root cause

2021-08-31 Thread Simon Waters
I rebuilt Kshisen from 18.04 under Bullseye and it had the same scaling issue.

Quick search around the web suggested  KDE "global scale" under display 
settings which was set to 125%, setting that to 100% restarting, and the tiles 
now render as expected.



Bug#993384: kshisen: Icons are blurry

2021-08-31 Thread Simon Waters
Package: kshisen
Version: 4:21.08.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In the bullseye released version the tiles now look blurry at 1920x1024, this 
is a regression from the 18-04 in oldstable. It looks like a scaling issue
with SVGZ tiles.

Quick look at source, and a modification between 18-04 and 20-12 is
addition of line setting high resolution at start of src/main.cpp to
address blurry images.

In main.cpp
// Fixes blurry icons with fractional scaling
QGuiApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps);

Quick search noted this can be an issue on dual monitor configurations,
but looks like mac OSX was specifically being addressed there.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29894827/qt-how-to-use-aa-usehighdpipixmaps-for-two-monitors

I have two outputs on my graphics card, which might be a trigger. 

Although the second output is disabled to avoid issues with SDL not supporting
multiple monitors correctly (sigh), and because I'm only using one monitor. 
The SDL disabling is done using "xrandr --output VGA-0 --off"

I will attempt to confirm this line is the issue shortly.

Bug#546671: Seeing similar with "einstein"

2021-05-22 Thread Simon Waters
The Einstein puzzle package uses SDL 1.2

If I run it in fullscreen on my desktop machine, the display is frequently 
(but not always) messed up on exit.

It can be reset with either KDE screen controls or xrandr

The onboard graphics has two outputs (DVI and VGA), the situation seems 
improved/fixed if I disable the second with this command.

$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --off

Obviously this is a works for me whilst I only have one monitor plugged in.

$ xrandr 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y 
axis) 521mm x 293mm
   1920x1080 60.00*+

   1440x900  74.9859.90  
   1280x960  60.00  
   1152x864  75.00  
   1024x768  75.0370.0760.00  
   832x624   74.55  
   800x600   72.1975.0060.3256.25  
   640x480   75.0072.8166.6759.94  
   720x400   70.08  
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

I got similar behaviour from trivially small test program. So confident this is 
libsdl1.2. Couldn't find a small code change that fixed Einstein but I'm 
learning SDL as I go, although it might be possible to scale in a resizeable 
window, since I doubt many people are running 800x600 only.

Will try SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=0 environment variable when it recurs.



Bug#939979: wget manual lists --bind-dns-address but the option appears to no longer exist

2019-09-10 Thread Simon Waters
Package: wget

Dear Maintainer,

man wget lists --bind-dns-address
But when I try to use it
wget: unrecognized option '--bind-dns-address=127.0.0.1'

Both the DNS server options are missing by the looks of it, build flag?
 --bind-dns-address and --dns-servers

After careful reading it doesn't do what I wanted anyway, but I flagged
it as a bug.

Bug#706528: icedove: Last filter editted highlights differently

2013-05-01 Thread Simon Waters
Package: icedove
Version: 10.0.12-1
Severity: minor

On Wheezy desktop which has had icedove for a while with some history...

If you edit a mail filter rule, and then select it (such as to Run Now) the 
highlighting is different
on my GNOME classic desktop, than if the rule has not been editted.

To reproduce:

Open ToolsMessage Filter.
Click a rule to edit it.
Add (or Delete) a space character to end of rule name (or any other change, but 
this is non-destructive).
Click OK.

If the problem has occurred the rule will now be outlined not highlighted in 
the list of rules.

In normal use the rule is highlighted in light blue, dark blue when editting, 
and light blue when finished. 
Colours may depend on themes.

In my testing this only occurs from rule 17 onwards.

It is 100% reproducible so far (always fatal to promise).

Moving rule 17 to rule 16 (using Move Up) removed the issue for that rule, 
but creates the same issue for the filter now in 17th place.

Once the problem has occurred, then highlighting the problem rule will get an 
outline, but surrounding rules highlight as expected.

I assume some issue with underlying widget structure, or possibly the graphical 
environment, so if you have trouble reproducing ask.

Bug#705988: logcheck-database: Postfix rule updates for ignore.d.server

2013-04-23 Thread Simon Waters
Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.3.15
Severity: normal

Wheezy box with hostname validation checks and verify cache

I needed three rule changes to silence normal reports from postfix on Wheezy.

^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ postfix/smtpd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: 
warning: hostname [. _[:alnum:]-]+ does not resolve to address [[:digit:]\.]+(: 
Temporary failure in name resolution|: Name or service not known|: No address 
associated with hostname|)$

This rule includes text from existing rules, so perhaps those rules can be 
retired? The repetition of :  in the text is unwieldy.

^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ postfix/verify\[[[:digit:]]+\]: close 
database /var/lib/postfix/verify_cache.db: No such file or directory \(possible 
Berkeley DB bug\)$

This rule addresses known spurious Berkeley DB warning.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/postfix-users/message/261323

^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ postfix/verify\[[[:digit:]]+\]: cache 
[-._:[:alnum:]/]+ full cleanup: retained=[[:digit:]]+ dropped=[[:digit:]]+ 
entries$

The cache name will by default begin btree:/var/... so I've added a : to 
existing rule after the word cache.

Sure maintaining these lists is a thankless task, so thanks, saves me a lot of 
egrepping.

 Simon

Bug#582204: expose_php does more than include X-Powered-By header.

2013-02-13 Thread Simon Waters
The toggle has two values.

On - default
 Inserts X-Powered-By header with PHP version.
 Causes phpcredits page, PHP and ZEND LOGOs to be displayed in
unexpected fashion where people's webpages would be expected.
 Enables Logos to be displayed in the phpinfo() output.

Off - not default
 Responses are smaller
 Removes unexpected display of credits and logos.
 No Logos are displayed in phpinfo() output.

If it was off, would anyone switch it on? No.

Anyone wishing to obtain compliance to credit card industry standards
must disable it.

Leaving it on creates work for users, who often have to or wish to
disable it, produces unexpected behaviour, and consumes more bandwidth.
It is a rather user hostile position to leave it defaulted to On.

PHP5.5 will remove the display of phpcredits, and logos, but retains the
X-Powered-By header, and so will still require disabling of this feature
on most serious deployments, but upstream presumably thought the display
of credits and logos an issue enough to remove it from the code base
entirely. My brief inspection of the 5.5a4 code suggests this parameter
will just toggle the X-Powered-By header in 5.5 and later.

The actual display of logos and credits appears secure, in that it
returns the logos though the name of the page requested with different
GUID parameters (so no dependence on other servers). And none of the
pages permit of trivial injection attacks. That said I can imagine it
might be possible to use it to confuse naive search engines, or naive
proxy servers (or naive users), into displaying, caching or indexing the
wrong content for a website. As such having expose_php enabled before
5.5 is potentially a security issue over and above information leakage.
I would advise everyone to disable the option, since it has no upside,
will increase bandwidth costs, and has other potential issues.

Bug#699793: gnome-alsamixer: Labels unhelpful

2013-02-04 Thread Simon Waters
Package: gnome-alsamixer
Version: 0.9.7~cvs.20060916.ds.1-3
Severity: normal

Attempt to use gnome-alsamixer to resolve issue with volume is defeated in 
GNOME classic.

Along side other bugs (already recorded), the default name for
two of the soundcards displayed is USB Mixer.

I can change these in preferences, but both are listed as:
USB Mixer [USB Mixer]
USB Mixer [USB Mixer]
So there is no way to distinguish which one I am renaming.

There is an unlabelled horizontal bar at the bottom of each 
sound device wasting huge amounts of space, I wonder what it does? It can't be 
balance as it is a scroll bar - must be some sort of volume, who knows.

Bug that the controls are upside down (already reported) doesn't help matters.

I was able to resolve my sound issues using the curses alsamixer tool in a 
couple of seconds.

Bug#662854: freerdp1 - Is this being updated via testing-proposed-updates?

2012-11-12 Thread Simon Waters
Is this being updated via testing-proposed-updates as per Julien's 
suggestion?


I've installed the updated packages from sid, because this bug is very 
irritating. So far so good.


The reverse dependencies on the package seem to be basically remmina, 
and blends that recommend remmina, so it doesn't appear to me to have 
much impact on other (debian) packages.


Thanks for your work on this.

Bug#662854: Similar issue still present after installing freerdp 1.0.1-2 from sid

2012-11-12 Thread Simon Waters

I've installed the packages from sid, and I'm still seeing a similar issue.

In particular (sometimes) on using alt-tab to switch to another 
application on the local desktop, the remote desktop window is closed. 
When it happens I am aware of the old window closing on completing the 
alt-tab (although not sure how I know it has gone, I see some sort of 
flash, presumably it is the redraw of the GNOME classic toolbar removing 
the task for Remmina that my peripheral vision is picking up on).


Does the original poster (Isaac) still see the issue with the new 
packages, as if not probably should open a new bug.

I suspect there may be more than one bug here.

I'll try and tie it up to activity, but it is hard. I am also seeing

Which notes that this is not checked in 5.837 and earlier.

I believe it is fixed but not the default in 6.00

It should do the right thing by default in 6.03 and later.

I'm not clear from documentation where in fact the issue lies, I suspect 
because upstream have unbundled some modules from the same source.


Just came across this as I upgraded the Perl libraries for an 
application using CPAN and broke it as the SSL connection required 
additional certificate authority data that was not being supplied. So 
the connection could have been easily intercepted.


Wheezy has 6.04 which is current.

I believe this bug has incorrect severity since it potentially 
undermines security in all 373 packages that depend on it, along with 
3rd party code such as that which I was working on.

Bug#685487: gnome-terminal: Overwrite window decoration in fullscreen mode

2012-08-21 Thread Simon Waters
Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.4.1.1-1
Severity: normal

After upgrading to Wheezy I note that the GNOME terminal in GNOME classic 
window manager has an issue with the left hand border when the window is 
maximized.

The apps has a narrow left hand window border, when the cursor goes to the left 
hand side of the screen this border is lost, and then it is redrawn for lines 
without a character in the first
position on any line. The effect is ugly and very distracting.

Cosmetic, but suggests error in window calculation.

Bug#685487: gnome-terminal: Overwrite window decoration in fullscreen mode

2012-08-21 Thread Simon Waters
On 21/08/12 11:24, Michael Biebl wrote:

 I can't reproduce/notice the issue you are describing.
 Could you make a screenshot or screencast which demonstrates the problem.

Thanks Michael,

that would usually be a simple request, but when I use the GNOME
screenshot, or the GIMP screengrab it redraws the window and thus
removes the layout problem by removing the border. Indeed alt-tab to
switch apps removes the layout problem. I'll try it at home and use a
camera if you can't reproduce after reading details below.

However did clarify the issue as I had to try and reproduce it.

Open GNOME-terminal and maximize (no left hand border is seen)
Open a new tab.
A left hand border is drawn for the new tab*, but the new shell prompt
is drawn as if no left border is there breaking the border.
Switching back to the first tab it now has a border, and hitting return
draws a new bash shell prompt breaking the border a little lower down
this time.

*The left hand tab border drawing is dependent on local stuff.

If I move my .bashrc to .bashrc.old (it does some stuff for colour etc
so could be a confounder), start GNOME-terminal, maximize, open a tab,
and I have to switch back to the original tab, and back to the new tab
before a left hand border is drawn for the tab and the issue is then
produced by hitting return and a new bash prompt breaks the border.

Alternative method to reproduce (no tabs)

Open GNOME-terminal, maximize, hover mouse pointer over one of the
window controls (Minimize), a left hand border is drawn when the hover
takes place, not hitting return causes a new shell prompt which is
drawn as if the border does not exist. Redraws of the screen cause the
border to disappear.

As I noted before this is GNOME classic with Wheezy.
Issue appeared on upgrade to Wheezy.
I note also that selecting the title of a tab causes a dashed line to
appear around it - when this happens the left border (if displayed)
disappears. However you can switch tabs and have this dashed line appear
immediately then the dashed line and border will co-exist at the same time.


I can reproduce issue any time a left hand border is drawn on the
maximized terminal window by hitting return in bash.

Workaround the irritation is to make the window as big as possible
without using maximize.

Bug#685487: Reproduce gnome-terminal issue at home

2012-08-21 Thread Simon Waters
On home system running GNOME classic and CRUX theme, could not reproduce
so make it more like my work machine...

apt-get install gnome-themes
Use Advanced Settings to choose Clearlooks as the Window theme and
immediately I can reproduce the problem.

Reproduced with window themes Adwaita, Almond, Clearlooks,
Clearlooksclassic, Esco (only hovering on the window controls - not
switching tabs), Glider (ditto controls), Glossy

Not reproduced with AgingGorilla,  AlphaCube 0.9b, Atlanta,
Bright, Crux.

Gave up checking at Glossy.In some themes the breakage is quite small
(1px grey border on left hand edge appearing when hovering over minimize
button when the gnome-terminal window is maximized), but all should show
the issue.

A quick look at the XML for the themes, and it looks like Esco, and
Glossy do more complex things with the minimize button prelight. Where
as Crux changes the graphic for another. But not familiar enough with
GNOME themes to say what precisely is causing trouble, or whether it is
the application or a bug in a selection of themes, or the window manager.

Bug#662854: Wheezy confirmed

2012-08-20 Thread Simon Waters
Note - upgraded my work desktop to Wheezy today and am experiencing same
bug. So definitely introduced in upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy.

My workaround at home was write a script to use rdesktop instead of
Remmina. You can also mitigate the effect by forcing Remmina to connect to
the console when it won't kill all your work in progress if you
disconnect.

Bug#679233: oggconvert: Conversion to WEBM creates video files that are reported as corrupt in Firefox 13 for Windows

2012-06-27 Thread Simon Waters
Package: oggconvert
Version: 0.3.3-1
Severity: normal

Using advanced to create a WEBM version of a video to work with Firefox in 
HTML5 video tag, the video created works
fine in Aurora or movie players on Debian Squeeze, but when the same WEBM file 
is servered to Windows 
clients using Windows 7 and Firefox 13 reports the it could not decode the 
media file.

(Media resource: URL could not be decoded).

Without detailed knowledge of video formats hard to be precise as to the 
precisely which software (if any) is at fault, however 
I figure that even if oggconvert is correct and this is a feature of Windows 7 
the use case is common enough that people would
want to know that the apparently working output may not be fit for purposes and 
needs to be tested.

Bug#662854: remmina crashes at random intervals

2012-06-13 Thread Simon Waters
Package: remmina-plugin-rdp
Version: 1.0.0-4
Followup-For: Bug #662854

Experiencing similar issue connecting using rdp to a Windows 2003 server from 
Debian Wheezy.

I seem random crashes of Remmina on mouse actions, and crashes with switching 
away (Alt-Tab), but don't have an always reproducible action to trigger it. 
But it is frequent enough I have no trouble reproducing a crash for testing 
purposes. I don't see this with Remmina on Debian Squeeze and the same Windows 
server.

I just did a couple of long session using xfreerdp (debug version) to connect 
from Wheezy client to same server and experienced no crashes.

Not sure how to persuade gdb to follow Remmina to see if I am getting the same
crash precisely, I assume some combination of options telling it to follow the 
fork works?

Note: I have an open issue that glines in GNOME games segfaults which may or 
may not be related, but otherwise GNOME in Wheezy seems to work as expected 
currently.

Bug#671171: apache2.2: mod_speling offers only permanent redirects

2012-05-02 Thread Simon Waters
Package: apache2.2-bin
Version: 2.2.16-6+squeeze4zynet1
Severity: wishlist
File: apache2.2


mod_speling offers only permanent redirects, whilst this saves on CPU it
means that you are potentially storing issues for renaming content of a
web site in future as browsers will cache this indefinitely.

I propose a patch that adds SpellingRedirectTemporary 

So that adding SpellingRedirectTemporary On to the configuation causes
Apache to issue 302 redirects instead of 301, which are pre-expired
causing clients to always retry.

Bug#663968: mysql-server-5.1: Error 1064 logged restarting MySQL server after upgrade from 5.1.49-4 to 5.1.61-0

2012-03-14 Thread Simon Waters
Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.61-0+squeeze1
Severity: normal


During the recent update of MySQL in Debian Squeeze I noted a couple of errors 
in the log
file on our test server. Since it is fairly clean install of MySQL I
wondered if it is useful to report them.

Subsequent attempts to restart MySQL produce no errors.

No problems in operation have been noted, but MySQL on this box is used 
only occasionally when bug fixed client websites that use MySQL backend.

Mar 12 12:19:42 disraeli mysqld_safe[22450]: ERROR: 1064  You have an

A Show_view_priv column with similar attributes exists in the users

According the dpkg log these are 20 seconds after dpkg had configured the MySQL
updates so I presume restarting of the services after that upgrade.

On changing a regular system password using the passwd command if the user

I suspect this bug was some sort of extension compatibility issue.

Removed rhythmbox-plugins and the problem seems to be fixed.

Bug#655144: rhythmbox: Seg fault in rhythmdb_entry_type_get_name ()

2012-01-08 Thread Simon Waters
Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.90.1~git20120106.cf2d7c0-1
Severity: important

Have used rhythmbox as podcast player for years with few issues. Recently 
upgraded to testing and experienced occasional segfault.

However now getting this error apparently randomly whilst listening to podcasts 
(error reported using gdb but similar error from the command line). Typically 
it happens after listening to a few minutes of a podcast.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0xa5c1ab70 (LWP 14376)]
0xb7f4bd14 in rhythmdb_entry_type_get_name ()
   from /usr/lib/librhythmbox-core.so.4

Some other serious sounding message are shown earlier (complete log could be 
produced if required) however these occur repeatedly and don't stop the 
execution of the program when they happen:

(rhythmbox:9772): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_ref: assertion 
`entry-refcount  0' failed

(rhythmbox:9772): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_get_string: assertion 
`entry != NULL' failed

(rhythmbox:9772): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_get_string: assertion 
`entry != NULL' failed

(rhythmbox:9772): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_get_ulong: assertion 
`entry != NULL' failed

(rhythmbox:9772): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_unref: assertion `entry 
!= NULL' failed

I've manually installed the lastest version from unstable of rhythmbox and the 
corresponding library, and the problem recurs. A quick Google suggests this 
issue may exist in Ubuntu and Redhat packages.

I had noticed previously apparent corruption of the name of podcasts but this 
seems to have sorted itself out. So prepared to believe that I have corrupt 
metadata of some sort, but wouldn't have expected this to cause a seg fault.

Bug#652111: icedove: Excessive disk space usage in file in ImapMail due to corrupt data

2011-12-14 Thread Simon Waters
Package: icedove
Version: 3.1.16-1
Severity: minor

Email stored on a Debian server using dovecot (1:1.2.15-7) was accessed using 
icedove over Imap4, synchronisation is set to keep a copy of all messages 
locally.

On occasions unexplained file growth was seen with these lines (date varies and 
is current system date):

From - Wed Dec 14 20:33:05 2011
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 
v6Yqg87rI6MylCnyPn5oyT1A6Gvdh...
 lots of encoded data follows...

Were concatenated onto the end of the file in the 
{profile}/ImapMail/mail.technocool-1.net/Personal repeatedly. This led to rapid 
file growth and disk space exhaustion if Icedove was left running.

Compacting the corresponding folder caused the repeated copies of the data to 
be removed.

On inspection a file simply consisting off this Base64 encrypted data without 
normal mail headers nor any other content was to be found in the corresponding 
cur directory of the maildir.
 
-rw--- 1 vmail vmail 1951884 Feb 13  2010 
1266162801.P32330Q207.lintel.vm.bytemark.co.uk:2,S

A copy of this file has been retained, the origin of the corrupt file is 
unclear.

I would have hoped that the situation would have been handled more gracefully, 
I was able to identify the issue and take action only because I have access to 
the maildir on the Imap server, otherwise the end user is left with a file that 
grows out of control and no indication other than the repeated content as to 
origin.

I've assumed since dovecot has only one copy of the file that it is probably 
doing the right thing and that the issue lies with Icedove.

Bug#594753: Do we know which, and what proportion of drives and if so how do we know this?

2011-07-03 Thread Simon Waters
Old DELL shipped DVD/CD drive has this issue:

description: DVD reader
product: RW/DVD GCC-4480B
vendor: HL-DT-ST

This could result in loss of user data if the user naively accepts that
writing without obvious errors means it worked, should the default
behaviour not also verify data written to media since the software is
unreliable.

Bug#626901: sending email from KDE when icedove closed doesn't work as expected

2011-05-16 Thread Simon Waters
Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.11-1+squeeze2
Severity: important


In KDE4 in Squeeze on hovering over an email address displayed in Konsole I 
am offered the Send Email to.

If Icedove is already open this works as expected.

If Icedove is not previously open, it opens a compose window titled Write: (no 
subject), allows me to compose an email,
and send an email. However nothing is seen on the outbound email server log and 
nothing is copied
to the Sent folder, so the email appears to simply be lost.

This was noticed immediately after applying latest security fixes, probably 
only because Icedove was shutdown before
applying the fixes (where as it would normally be running all the time).

Outbound SMTP is via SMTP AUTH.
Sent folder is on IMAP server.

This behaviour is easily reproduced by me, close Icedove, hover on email 
address in Konsole, and click Send Email to.

Some dialogue box appears and closed when the email is attempted to be sent, 
but it doesn't persist long enough to read.

Appreciate I need to do some additional troubleshooting try and identify if the 
cause is some local oddity of configuration,
but since it involved loss of email I figure reporting it early probably wise 
in case it is a result of the last security path
(seems unlikely).

Bug#522961: Cron output of apticron during non-existent times due to daylight saving time transition

2011-03-29 Thread Simon Waters
I see the change to appending true has been applied to the script, however 
it still produces the following confusing output.

date: invalid date `1:32'
date: invalid date `@'
touch: invalid date format `'

I believe removing the --cron check and option entirely may be the correct 
solution.

Vixie cron correctly handles scheduling of tasks during daylight saving 
transitions*.

Is this a feature that was added to work around former bugs in vixie cron? As 
it use to run jobs twice in the transition out of daylight saving but this is 
long fixed.

I've modified our machine that does this now runs it outside the period when 
Daylight saving (Summer time we call it here) transition takes place so is no 
longer an issue here till they change when Daylight saving transition takes 
place again.

 Simon

* There could be an issue with multiple servers running jobs at the same time 
at the end of a step forward into daylight saving however I don't think by 
default apticron does anything except check local state of the machine.

Bug#264626: More background

2011-03-21 Thread Simon Waters
When I last looked this bug was a straight mismatch, ttyS0 is in dialout, 
and it tries to set ownership to uucp when run as root, hence the 
workarounds given previously.

I wrote this, time may have passed.

http://www.debian-administration.org/users/simonw/weblog/36

I don't think the sensitive security calls are needed, I suspect all they do 
is break the command for root, but I'm no system programmer.

Bug#613504: apticron: Apticron was reporting on newly installed server: hostname: Name or service not known

2011-02-15 Thread Simon Waters
Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.42
Severity: wishlist


Apticron uses the hostname command to provide identifying information to 
place in the email sent to the admin.

On a newly installed server this was giving cron output which was confusing due 
to the hostname not being resolvable.

The hostname command manual page suggests that hostname -i be replaced with 
hostname --all-ip-addresses and
hostname -f be replaced with hostname --all-fqdns to avoid this issue. 

Doing this removed the warnings from cron and gave useful identifying 
information for
the email.

diff apticron.orig apticron
85c85
 SYSTEM=`/bin/hostname -f`
---
 SYSTEM=`/bin/hostname --all-fqdns`
105c105
   IPADDRESSES=`(echo $( /bin/hostname -i ) ;
---
   IPADDRESSES=`(echo $( /bin/hostname --all-ip-addresses ) ;

This results in:

apticron has detected that some packages need upgrading on:

109-231-72-75.flexiscale.com  
[ 109.231.72.75 ]

When hostname -i and -f were  producing warnings.
And the expected output:

apticron has detected that some packages need upgrading on:

disraeli.zynet.net  
[ 109.231.72.75 ]

When I ensured that /etc/hosts has the correct entry for 109.231.72.75
I haven't tested on a machine with multiple IP addresses, or on one with IPv6 
enabled.

Bug#553672: group stb-admin membership is required to access the system-tools-backends

2011-02-09 Thread Simon Waters
The error:

The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed to access the system configuration.

May occur if the user is simply not a member of group stb-admin when
attempting to use some entries in the Administration menu in GNOME
(system-tools-backends).

Users wishing to use these tools may also wish to be members of the
group sudo as per Squeeze release notes so they are authorised by
their own password rather than root's.

Aspects of these bug reports may be duplicates of this problem, although
at least one report has additional content.

Bug#610693: xserver-xorg-video-via: KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] hangs KDE4 login

2011-01-21 Thread Simon Waters
Package: xserver-xorg-video-via
Version: 1:0.2.904+svn842-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


I see related reports for other hardware.

After updating to Squeeze (pre-release 2011-01-20) from Lenny with KDE desktop
a board with onboard graphics reported as:
 KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome]
 in Xorg.0.log
hangs after displaying the disk drive icon during KDE login.

The kdm login box is redisplayed but cursor is not blinking and num lock is 
unresponsive on keyboard.

After some searching I saw references to disabling DRI, this worked.

More careful inspection of the Xorg.0.log showed it was enabling GLX and AIGLX, 
and this card 
doesn't have hardware to accelerate those features, so enabling DRI and 
disabling GLX in the xorg.conf
seems to have resolved the issue with less impact on performance.

Last error in .xsession-errors was Could not start ksmserver. Check your 
installation. which
led me astray.

Please advise if you require additional information.

I believe this may duplicate similar bugs reported, but since the hardware is 
slightly different I opened an additional bug report.

Bug#488212: denial-of-service (DOS) attack by anyone with syslog access (e.g. logger(1))

2010-10-26 Thread Simon Waters
Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.13
Severity: normal


Hit related issue, with USB device errors causing extremely large syslog and 
kern.log files. Results in logcheck consuming excessive CPU.

Whilst there are many easy work arounds and perhaps this should be fixed with 
the kernel logging or in syslogd, but occurred to me logcheck should have a 
maximum file size limit at which it refuses to process the log.

excessively large
due to the handling of vmalloc on that platform.

The kernel documentation was in error, claiming that kcore would be size of 
memory with a small adjustment 
when it is (now at least) more complex than that.

If we must rely on /proc interface then the second field of the first line of 
/proc/meminfo contains
size of RAM. As per changes below, however I'm not sure if relying on /proc is 
a good idea, I haven't checked kernel source to see if it is always the first 
line, or if the unit field is hard coded. So probably wise to make a more 
robust case than this.

I'm still trying to understand fully how AMD64 handles memory usage so probably 
wise to run this past someone who does understand the topic better.

Bug#591028: xserver-xorg-video-vesa: Display of text in iceweasel wrong after upgrade to testing

2010-07-31 Thread Simon Waters
Package: xserver-xorg-video-vesa
Version: 1:2.3.0-3
Severity: normal


Since upgrading PC to testing (Squeeze) occasionally when scrolling through 
large areas of text in Iceweasel the display of the text area corrupts as if 
the positioning of the new area being scrolled onto the screen is a few pixels 
out vertically. Often it seems to repeat a region of the text a few pixels high 
many time where the new text should be.

I haven't reproduced this outside of Iceweasel, but suspect this is an X issue, 
hence choice of reporting against the X.org driver. Understand if this is 
immediately reassigned.

Attempts to use an Iceweasel snapshot plugin doesn't capture the issue, as the 
screen is redrawn/refreshed in some way immediately the snapshot tool is 
invoked. I have a photograph of the problem when it occurs, but it is 
intermittent making it hard to test.

Aside from searching for similar bugs in Debian and elsewhere I've not yet made 
serious efforts to resolve myself. I will try disabling smooth scrolling in 
the Iceweasel advanced tab.

Any advice on recreating such issues may be useful. Typically if a page has the 
problem scrolling up and down a few times will get it redrawn correctly, or 
attempting to snapshot the problem area. Once a page is rendered correctly, the 
problem is not seen viewing that page, so presumably at that point a correct 
bitmap is cached at some level (apps or X).

Bug#589583: icedove: Icedove upgrade creates unknown master password

2010-07-18 Thread Simon Waters
Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.5-1
Severity: normal


Upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze in advance of release. Process was not smooth 
but I believe it is now complete and I have correct versions of all packages.

On starting icedove I am prompted for a master password.

Previously (at least immediately before upgrade) I was not using a master 
password for icedove.

I tried various passwords including my current master password for Iceweasel.

I cleared the master password using advice here.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password#Resetting_the_master_password

I looked at the stored passwords before clearing them, and the list appeared to 
include passwords for websites I've used long ago, as well as plausible email 
accounts. My conclusion is the installer either found a stale master password 
file from somewhere and chose to use this for some reason, or decided my stored 
passwords should have a password for reasons unknown.

Guess this is really a heads-up to look for similar problems, whilst recording 
the work-around.

Bug#461366: gnome-screensaver: Mouse handedness can be problematic

2010-01-29 Thread Simon Waters
Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.22.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #461366


GNOME allows the user to easily swap mouse control for left and right
handed operation.

With the option to switch users from the locked screen a potential new user has
no indication whether the mouse is configured for left or right handed use,
and may be confused as to why the mouse appears not to respond when they
click on Switch User.

Since there are no right click (or is that left click?) operations in 
gnome-screenlock could the screensaver utilise any mouse presses for buttons?

There may be a more general solution that supports other pointer type devices.

Bug#362742: closed by m...@linux.it (Marco d'Itri) (already fixed)

2009-12-24 Thread Simon Waters
These typos occur in the package description of 2.4.1-17.2 ($ apt-cache
show atm-dev) which is current in all versions of Debian (including
sid), and Ubuntu.

The package describes itself as obsolete see bug #321826 (and #498773)
so this bug is not worth addressing and can remain closed but the
package should probably be removed. The bug was filed as part of spell
checking every package description in Debian, I probably should have
read this one more closely.

Bug#544540: libfcgi-perl: Use of FILENO on FCGI file handles causes error

2009-09-01 Thread Simon Waters
Package: libfcgi-perl
Version: 0.67-2.1+b1
Severity: normal


Attempting to use Perl Inline Java with FCGI.pm gives the error:

mod_fcgid: stderr: Trapped error: Caught exception in 
pajax::Controller::cp-purchase Can't exec JVM: Can't locate object method 
FILENO via package FCGI::Stream at /usr/share/perl/5.10/IPC/Open3.pm line 
79.  at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/Inline/Java.pm line 484

This is a known issue as described here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/po...@openbsd.org/msg16948.html

There is a commented out definition of FILENO in the file 
/usr/lib/perl5/FCGI.pm which describes the issue.

Uncommenting this resolved the issue.

I feel this should be resolved properly, possibly by modifying the behaviour of 
the calling modules.

Is it any clearer to the Debian Perl maintainers in which package this issue 
would properly be addressed?

Bug#333831: Further Investigation

2009-08-01 Thread Simon Waters
Purchased a replacement CD-ROM drive for this machine, but with the same
results.

Seems that on more recent kernels the acpi=off workaround no longer
results in a stable system.

In particular if I boot with acpi=off on recently kernel, then I get
sporadic disk read errors.

I can't reproduce this with the original Etch installer kernel
2.6.18-4-486, which booted with acpi=off can verify the install CD.

With Lenny installer 2.6.26-1-486 and acpi=off I failed to verify a
Lenny installer CD.

Very hard to test, as it only failed sporadically it is hard to be
confident that this secondary issue isn't affecting results for the
original issue.

Will try kernel from unstable.

Bug#372720: Mode experts allows to bypass the reportbug criticity limitations

2009-06-23 Thread Simon Waters

Sandro Tosi wrote:


do you find this solution acceptable? Can we then consider this bug closed?


I feel it is unacceptable, but it comes down to Debian policy and 
procedure issues I'm not familiar enough to comment on.


The point of this mode is to guide users unfamiliar with Debian policy 
to make a good bug report, this bug refers to a feature that in some 
cases they will file a bug as Grave, when it should be Critical.


If Debian procedures ensure Grave bugs are reviewed as promptly as 
Critical bugs, then this bug is unimportant (but then why have a 
Critical level in that case?). If not, then this bug might result in 
Critical issues not being dealt with as promptly as they should.


I don't think we can assume people using a mode to assist them with bug 
reporting will use an expert mode or other workaround (email the bug 
system), they may assume that the tool is doing the right thing.


I appreciate it is difficult, as there are competing interests in 
reducing spurious reporting of critical bugs, and also of ensuring 
genuinely critical issues are dealt with promptly.

Bug#513204: Progress?

2009-04-14 Thread Simon Waters
The workaround is described as taskset for PHP/Apache.

Any specific advice on how best to do this. As applying taskset to the apache 
process forces all subprocesses including fastcgi processes to use the same 
CPU, reducing the machine down to effectively a single CPU machine. (Note the 
kernel doesn't reschedule processes to other processors lightly, so anyone 
seeing this issue had a need of more than one CPU for running the process in 
question at least once).

I can probably force the FASTCGI processes to use additional processors which 
might resolve the issue on one of our servers, but down this road lies 
madness and micromanagement of which processor each process is using, and is 
unlikely to be applicable to all those affected.

I don't see a fix in the mysql client changelog for sid. Are there fixed 
versions of the relevant packages available anywhere?

I'd have thought unable to run LAMP stack reliably with PHP segfaulting 
would count as a major bug in terms of sending a fix out asap. Have you been 
advised that it isn't suitable?

Bug#522961: apticron exits with error code due to daylight saving changes

2009-04-07 Thread Simon Waters
Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.27
Severity: normal


On the transition to daylight saving received an email from cron:

/etc/cron.daily/apticron:
date: invalid date `1:32'
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/apticron exited with return code 1

If the --cron argument is specified, then it attempts to read date/time from
/etc/cron.d/apticron and passes this to the date command.

However on the date in question the time 1:32 doesn't exist due to transition 
to 
daylight saving (British Summer Time) when clock are advanced from 01:00 to 
02:00, so date gives an
error and so (due to bash -e) the script exits.

Suggest not doing the calculation in bash at all, just touch the file, and let 
the find command
work out if that was one day ago. Worst that will happen is that on days where 
apticron --cron
is run twice it may not run if the next cron is within 24 hours. Whereas here I 
think it did not run for 48 hours.

time=$( grep -v '^[[:space:]]*\(\#\|$\)' /etc/cron.d/apticron \
2/dev/null | {
read min hour null
if isDigit $hour  isDigit $min ; then
echo $hour:$min
fi
} )

if [ $time ] ; then

Bug#522389: findutils: find manual page is not consistent with path / wholename changes

2009-04-03 Thread Simon Waters
Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.0-2
Severity: minor


As per resolved bug #336078 POSIX standardised on path/ipath over 
wholename/iwholename

However manual page still says ipath is deprecated use iwholename.
Whilst wholename correctly says to prefer path for portability.
Took me a while to track down the explanation and current status of these 
options.

I believe upstreams online documentation is also incorrect on this matter, 
although the code correctly (since 4.4.0) no longer warns about use of ipath, 
and the changelog and NEWS both notes these changes and why.

Package: php5

We have a web server providing shared hosting and using PHP5.

it switched to using the

The installation has a fair amount of history including 3rd party PHP5 packages 
before lenny. 

I'd anticpated that the upgrade to lenny would have cleared out most PHP5 
issues, as all previously installed PHP5 packages were removed as part of the 
upgrade procedure we followed, and then reinstalled. Although most 
configuration data in /etc/php5 was preserved.

Similar bug report suggests stale libraries in /usr/local/lib/ can cause 
segfaults - the only PHP related code in that folder is the ioncube loader, 
which reports itself to be installed correctly, and works (i.e. ioncube encoded 
files are decoded and executed as expected using v5.2 of the loader).

I've been unable to correlate the segfault errors in /var/log/kern.log with any 
particular set of http requests, so I'm unsure
how to progress troubleshooting at this point since I don't have a reproducible 
case (or a discernable problem!).

I've installed php5-dbg when troubleshooting this previously.

Since I can't correlate the error message with any specific fault, I've marked 
the bug as minor. However I appreciate that segfaulting in php5 may reflect a 
more serious underlying bug (or misconfiguration).

Various troubleshooting guides suggest removing modules from php configuration, 
and seeing if the issue is corrected, but without a test case this would 
require running the server without major

 out of curiosity, are the affected systems smp or multi-core systems?

Live is 2 x  Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz, each processor is
hyperthreaded so it presents as 4 CPUs.

Test is 4 x Intel Pentium III (Cascades) 700Mhz.

 if so, could you verify if your problem is the same as:
 
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513204

I can reproduce the problem described in this bug on the live machine.

Running t.sh results in a segfault sometimes.

Test server wasn't reproducing till I did a stress -c 4 -i 4 -m 4  to
 create some activity, at which point it usually segfaults quite quickly
- only a handful of iterations.

Commenting out mysqli and mysql extensions from the
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/ scripts, appears to resolve the segfaults on the
test server.

Bug#509116: apache2: mod_deflate with mod_fastcgi gives wrong content-length header

2008-12-18 Thread Simon Waters
Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny1
Severity: normal


On upgrading from Etch to Lenny I got exceeding slow response on some FastCGI 
servers.

It was identified that the line: 
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/json 
application/x-javascript
which adds the deflate filter is the culprit.

On inspection with curl:

curl -D h1  http://simon.example.com/ b1
  % Total% Received % Xferd  Average Speed   TimeTime Time  Current
 Dload  Upload   Total   SpentLeft  Speed
100 33180  100 331800 0   389k  0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  826k

curl --compressed -D h2  http://simon.example.com/ b2

 Dload  Upload   Total   SpentLeft  Speed
 25 33180   25  86120 0572  0  0:00:58  0:00:15  0:00:43 0
curl: (18) transfer closed with 24568 bytes remaining to read

b1 and b2 are identical.
The content-length header in h2 was still 33180, where as I'd expect this 
page to compress effectively.

So the slow response is the web browser timing out, but finding all the data it 
needs is already in memory.

Likely cause is bad interaction with mod_fastcgid, which we are using here to 
deploy a Catalyst application, as the content is dynamic in nature.

I'm not an expert in these things. 

This combination of mod_fastcgi and mod_deflate was broken in Sarge,
but it resulted in the content being sent without compression, where as here 
the result is simply broken HTTP response, because it is being compressed, but 
the content-length header is wrong.

I see old reports of similar problems in Google.
e.g. 
http://archives.devshed.com/forums/dsm-125/apache-2-mod-deflate-mod-fastcgi-1284864.html

Shall go try mod_fcgid.

Bug#509116: libapache2-mod-fcgid as workaround

2008-12-18 Thread Simon Waters

Re: bug 509116 failure of deflate with mod-fastcgid on upgrading to lenny.

Switching from libapache2-mod-fastcgi to libapache2-mod-fcgid allows 
dynamic content to be correctly served. So provides a workaround for 
those who need both compression and a fastCGI interface in Lenny.


I reassigned the bug to libapache2-mod-fastcgid, as I assume it is 
unlikely to be in Apache code or mod_deflate if they work with mod_fcgid.


I haven't tried rebuilding libapache2-mod-fastcgi, there is a separate 
bug regarding that on the database.

Bug#509050: postgresql-8.3: Etch to Lenny upgrade stalled when old cluster would not stop.

2008-12-17 Thread Simon Waters
Package: postgresql-8.3
Version: 8.3.5-1
Severity: normal


Upgrading server from Etch to Lenny (before release of lenny).

The Postgres upgrade from 7.4 to 8.3 was well handled and excellently 
documented (good work by packagers and Postgres developers).

However on my system on running pg_upgradecluster 7.4 main failed because 
Postgres was in use by an Apache fastcgi script. In the end I kill -9 the 
remaining Postgres 7.4 processes, and found that postgres 8.3 cluster was 
correctly configured when I started it manually.

I would file this as minor, but it is more than cosmetic, but shouldn't be a 
problem for most users.

Last bit of output from pg_upgradecluster

Stopping target cluster...
Stopping old cluster...
pg_ctl: postmaster does not shut down
Disabling automatic startup of old cluster...
Configuring old cluster to use a different port (5433)...
Starting target cluster on the original port...
Error: Port conflict: cluster 7.4/main is already running on port 5432
Error: Could not start target cluster; please check configuration and log files

Probably obvious to more experienced Postgres admins. Should the documentation 
recommend disabling all clients, or should the script check and be more 
aggressive closing down the database? In this case I should have disabled all 
the clients manually before the update to avoid loss of data (but it was only a 
test server).

Either way I'm very impressed, I've had far more difficult upgrades of very 
expensive proprietary databases.

Bug#333831: Etch Installer (pre-release) triggers bug #333831 on specific hardware

2008-12-05 Thread Simon Waters
Moritz Muehlenhoff wrote:
 
 Does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions?
 
 If you're running Etch, could you try to reproduce this bug
 with the 2.6.24 based kernel added in 4.0r4?
 http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux-2.6.24.html

linux-kernel-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 (aka 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.7)

Boots without the interrupt warnings regarding hda.

ACPI is clearly enabled, and reports various messages boot.

Attempting to play an audio CD worked for a few seconds, then the
machine restarted (showing BIOS screen).

Last message in kernel log was:

ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode

This occurred after using CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to console mode, and
could be seen on console a second or two before the restart. I retried a
cold reboot and just left it playing an audio CD in the GNOME desktop,
and it jumped to the BIOS splash screen again after a few seconds.

So whilst this kernel upgrade avoids the delays/hangs whilst booting it
 doesn't resolve all the ACPI issues mentioned in this bug report.

The kernel mailing list makes reference to relevant improvements in
2.6.28. I'll build a 2.6.28 kernel and try that.

 Thanks,

  Simon

Bug#498564: Also in Lenny?

2008-11-13 Thread Simon Waters
Installing openoffice.org-sdbc-postgresql using apt-get in an upto date Lenny 
desktop (1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice components installed this morning) produces a 
similar error on my desktop with stock 2.6 486 kernel. 

I also couldn't figure out why Postgres was being installed, I assume because 
it is recommended, which of itself seems a little odd for database client 
code. But I'll file a seperate bug for that.

Segfault is reproducible, if I purge the package, and reinstall.

Bug#500743: Segmentation fault in running bind9

2008-09-30 Thread Simon Waters
Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-1
Severity: important


syslog.log
Sep 30 23:23:54 derek kernel: [791273.512364] named[2244]: segfault at dededef2 
ip b7eaad0e sp b7549f90 error 7 in libdns.so.43.0.1[b7e4+141000]

I use bind9 running locally on my desktop box as the local recursive
resolver. Although this box has some unusual history (ran sid) as far as I can
ascertain it is running correct version of bind9 and libraries for
lenny. The bind9 config is relatively straight forward, and close to the
Debian default, with addition of some local authoritative zones.

Twice recently bind9 has stopped, dumping two core files in
/var/cache/bind. On both occasions problems were seen resolving some names
(reporting timeouts) immediately before the crash.

-rw--- 1 bind bind 58179584 2008-09-30 23:23 core.2243
-rw--- 1 bind bind 43302912 2008-09-22 19:58 core.2463

On one occasion I immediately ran rndc dumpdb when I encountered
issues with name resolution, and the crash took place a few seconds
after the database was written to /var/cache/bind/named_dump.db

-rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind81933 2008-09-30 23:20 named_dump.db

Please advise if this information would be useful in diagnosing bind
issues.

If any libraries are the wrong version for lenny I will probably
reinstall. I couldn't see other reports of this issue, although there
are other reports of bind silently stopping, which could be related.

Blog comment here refers to what I believe are some duplicate/related bugs:

http://www.debian-administration.org/users/simonw/weblog/278

Minor clarification: Odd noises were because 2.6.26 introduces a PC 
speaker driver into the kernel, and it has minor issues on this 
hardware/software, and it became my default sound device because I was 
using numbers not names for the devices in the ~/.asoundrc file. 
Switching the default sound device to the sound card resolved this, I 
guess a lot of people will have similar sound issues with 2.6.26. I 
assume most normal people don't care about audio on the SC400 or other 
DELL server hardware.


Thank you Dann, your earlier comment of this helped me find the fix 
mentioned, your prompt response and hard work are also appreciated.

Bug#410817: 101E:1960

2008-09-17 Thread Simon Waters
Upgrading firmware may be bad advice in this case.

When I researched it last time I was told there is a known issue with
the legacy megaraid driver and newer firmware (newer than 6.61 according
to this http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/30/215 if it is the same issue).

The workaround then was to hack the PCI IDS that were dropped around
2.6.15 into the legacy megaraid driver source, build a kernel/module and
install it, recreating initrd if/as necessary.

At the time I thought ignore it till they fix the kernel; Andrew Morton
and co were aware of this issue at the time. So don't expect upstream
fixes any time soon.

Alas I now have to fix the issue on my own server, as I can't run my
bespoke copy of 2.6.15-7 any longer.

Is there a policy reason not to have the missing PCI IDs patched into
the Debian kernel, as I for one, would much prefer to be running a stock
Debian kernel than rolling my own.

Bug#492839: Documentation error ? - see also bug #461056 ?

2008-07-29 Thread Simon Waters
Sorry, this is the email address I should have opened this bug with.

The bug appears identical to #461056 which was closed with upload of:

 dhcp3-client_3.1.0-2_i386.deb

Inspection suggests the patch is no longer in the script.

Changelog notes:

  * debian/dhclient-script.{linux,kfreebsd}: stop stripping out literal \032
from $new_domain_search. It only gets in there if the domain-search is
incorrectly specified as a single string of multiple space-separated
domains.

Okay, so the correct syntax for the domain-search option is allegedly;

domain-search 1.example.com,2.example.com;

This works!

This suggests there is a mistake in the dhcp-options manual page, which 
describes the syntax as:

The  domain-list  data  type  specifies a list of domain names, a space 
between each name and the entire string enclosed in double quotes.  These 
types of data are used for the domain-search option for example, and encodes 
an RFC1035 compressed DNS  label list on the wire.

and


 option domain-search domain-list;

The  domain-search  option  specifies  a  ’search  list’ of Domain Names to be 
used by the client to locate not-fully-qualified domain names.  The 
difference between this option and historic use of the domain-name option for 
the same  ends  is  that  this option is encoded in RFC1035 compressed labels 
on the wire.  For example:

option domain-search example.com, sales.example.com,
 eng.example.com;


Only one of those can be correct, and I was starting to think it was I who was 
confused.

I suspect at this point the wise thing to do is either to cope with both 
cases, or detect the wrong case and flag it during installation, since it 
once did work this way, and was documented to work this way, whether or not 
that was the intention.

Bug#372720: reportbug: Critical bug severity description misleading

2008-05-27 Thread Simon Waters
Sandro Tosi wrote:

 For severity you are offered.

1 criticalmakes unrelated software on the system (or the whole
system)
  break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a
security
  hole on systems where you install the package.

2 grave   makes the package in question unusable by most or all
users,
  or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole
allowing
  access to the accounts of users who use the package.




 Selecting severity 1 you are offered these two security related options.



4 root security hole introduces a security hole allowing access
to root
 (or another privileged system account), or data
 normally accessible only by such accounts
5 unknownnot sure, or none of the above

Selecting 5 downgrades the severity from critical to grave.

I was filing a bug that clearly introduced a security problem on
systems where you install the package, but that didn't meet the
criteria root (or another privileged system account), so my
classification as Critical was immediately downgraded to Grave.

On these criteria the recent openssl problem was Grave not critical
as it only affects accounts of people who use the software installed, it
isn't a failure due to the software being installed.

I just thought one or other of the descriptions should be brought into
line with each other so that I didn't choose Critical and then get the
report downgraded because it wasn't a root hole.

My assumption was that a hole doesn't need to be root or another
privileged system account if it allows arbitrary access to a normal
users account just by being installed; but which question is made to
reflect the other is more to do with policy than software.

Perhaps I'm being over analytical, or pedantic, but I don't report
serious security issues often, and thought the classification was
unclear here.

Bug#481909: RFP: libapache2-mod-bw -- Bandwidth limiting tool for Apache2

2008-05-19 Thread Simon Waters
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: libapache2-mod-bw
  Version : 0.8
  Upstream Author : Ivan Berrara [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://apache.ivn.cl/
* License : Apache
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Bandwidth limiting tool for Apache2

mod_bandwidth was an Apache 1.3 tool for bandwidth limitiation.

mod_bw implements same in Apache 2.

It differs from libapache2-mod-cband in that it allows configuration of 
bandwidth
controls for large files, and other slight variations on the
configuration.

To compile under Debian (Sarge) it needs the usual hack for regular
expressions;

65c65
 #if !AP_MODULE_MAGIC_AT_LEAST(20050127,0)
---
 #if !defined(AP_REG_EXTENDED)

This hack should not be needed for Etch or Lenny or Sid, since they have
Apache 2.2 or higher and this was for backported functionality from 2.1
into 2.0.

Some earlier versions of this module were under a different licence.

a common or accepted abbreviation for mean deviation.

The release notes hint it may be mean deviation as they mention mean
deviation when referring to IPv6 (I believe this to be an error in the
release notes).

The code calculates: sqrt( mean of squares - square of mean).

Which is a quick method of calculating standard deviation from a running
sequence of values.

I'm not aware of the abbreviation mdev being used for standard 
deviation outside of this implementation of ping.

A quick search shows the Provo LUG list has some discussion of this 
in 2005.

Bug#442270: mysql-server-5.0: Table Option CHARACTER SET syntax unclear

2007-09-14 Thread Simon Waters
Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.32-7etch1
Severity: normal


In the online help in mysql, and elsewhere the syntax of the
table_option is given as;

  | [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name
 
Only the parser only seems to accept CHARACTER SET = charset_name.

I'm unclear on which is the preferred syntax. It probably now needs to
support the syntax with = since deployed code will have it.

Bug#300328: [Debian-uk] Fwd: Debian Bug #300328 - English locale bug in OpenOffice

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=300328

I have Debian Sid (unstable), with OpenOffice and the UK English UTF8
locale the submitter has.

To get consistent UK spelling in OpenOffice you have to go to;

ToolsOptionsLanguage Settings and set the English (UK) as the
default language setting for documents.

I guess if you choose this (or any UK) locale in the Debian installer
the correct behaviour would be for OpenOffice (or its installer) to
notice, and use this information, so I think the behaviour is a bug. I
doubt it is a UK locale specific bug, it would need someone with a
non-English default locale to confirm this.

It isn't necessary to repeatedly change this setting as the submitter
describes, if the steps above are followed. So it may not be as severe
as believed.

Hope this makes sense, and I haven't miss understood anything.

Yes. Alas I'm not 100% clear what resolved it.

It is hard to be sure. At one point I thought the issue was selecting an
email in your Inbox that you had never read before. But  whilst the
problem occurred most times within a few seconds of starting Icedove,
that wasn't consistent either. Without a consistent way to reproduce it
was hard to be confident that the issue was resolved.

 What is tango theme? A gnome theme or an icedove theme?

 Can you reproduce by reenabling that  theme?

Icedove theme.

Attempt to re-enable it from the jar file originally used gets an error
that it isn't compatible with this version of icedove!

tango_icons_for_thunderbird-0.5.3-tb.jar
md5sum 4cce30d81a9a52cbf68fa6d2bbdb6c1e

Looks like a new version is here.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2258

The install.log suggests that the 0.5.3 version was the last version
of this icon set installed before the upgrade. So for me at least, the
problems with the latest version seem to be that I had an incompatible
theme installed and selected. The 0.7 version of the same theme seems
fine so far.

 Hmmm ... i thought that icedove always crashed for you.

It was always hanging, not always hanging after the same amount of
time. I suspect something to do with new email, but it wasn't simply
clicking on a new email, as I tried that. i.e. Send self email, start
icedove, icedove hangs when new email is selected in Inbox. Send self
email, start icedove, icedove shows new test email when it is selected,
go make coffee, come back to unresponsive icedove.

It never achieved a useful amount of email reading before crashing, not
that useful is terribly descriptive from a bug hunt perspective.
Usually it would hang during or within seconds of starting up, sometimes
it would start okay, but hang before I'd come back to use it.

I disabled all functional extensions, and re-enabled this didn't help.

Possibly removing the Tango theme did the trick.

Bug#427427: icedove: Possibly more details

2007-06-08 Thread Simon Waters
Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.0-4
Followup-For: Bug #427427


Recent updates to icedove, it's themes or GNOME integration are causing
me a similar problem that I've just started investigating. Symptom is
general hanging of the application, the content of the main window doesn't
redraw, but clicking in [x] gets me the GNOME force quit option.
Sometimes this is due to clicking on an email.

I installed gtk2-engines-spherecrystal after the problem appeared as before
the current problems it was producing a warning related to the absence of this.
And I wanted to remove the warning, and see if it fixed the issue. However I 
think that
was a side track.

Anyway at one point when it hung, it printed this to stderr, and I
figured it might be useful if this is a general issue, rather than
specific to me or a few users.

I will try purging the packages as per the original poster.

Bug#425390: More of same

2007-05-22 Thread Simon Waters

Hung originally checking the Menu Editor extension.

I purged icedove.
Installed the old version from pool using dpkg, ran old icedove once.
Purged the old version.
Installed the new.
Ran icedove, it updated a load of plugins for me correctly this time.

Looks like it is working as expected, but I need to go find sort 
Enigmail and GNOME support again, as they were from packages, and got 
removed on the purge.


Some loss of styling happened in this process, I assume because the 
graphics are all updated, and so new themes will be required for styling.

Bug#333831: Etch Installer (pre-release) triggers bug #333831 on specific hardware

2007-02-28 Thread Simon Waters
The daily build of the Etch installer 20070227(?), and the Etch
Installer RC1, both tickle the problem reported in Debian bug 333831.

Despite discussions with upstream, which suggested this issue might have
been fixed in 2.6.18, the 2.6.18-4 kernel in the Debian-Installer
tickles this problem on the Acer Travelmate 200DX.

Simplest workaround is to boot with the kernel option acpi=off.

In the Debian Installer this means typing;

linux acpi=off

Indicators of this problem include various stack dumps in the kernel
output during boot, and;

ide-cd: cmd 0x5a timed out
hdc: lost interrupt

Obviously some hardware will have other device names (hdd etc).

I have looked at hacking the ACPI assembly code to fix the issue, but
even if this worked the resulting assembler would be copyright of Acer
(or their software suppliers) and impossible to validate (i.e. might fry
peoples hardware), and upstream seem less than 100% certain that this is
a problem with the ACPI code on the laptop.

Bug#408065: udev: Upgrade 0.087-2 to 0.103-2 broke boot from ReiserFS on VIA Mini ITX

2007-01-23 Thread Simon Waters

Package: udev
Version: 0.103-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


Machine tracks Debian Sid somewhat intermittently. Running stock kernel.

On update to 17/1/2006 state of Debian Sid I noted that the initrd
images was updated.
The installation requested hotplug be purged.
So I ran apt-get --purge remove hotplug before continuing.

On rebooting the machine got stuck after mounting the ReiserFS
filesystem error was;

Buffer I/O error on device hdc1 logical block 26255
(apologies for obvious reasons I couldn't cut and paste the error).
This error then repeated with different block numbers.

I was able to reboot using the sarge kernel 2.6.8-2.386 which had been
left over from installation, copy the initrd.img-2.6.15.bak over the
initrd.img-2.6.15 (after first saving it to a safe place), and the system
them booted as expected.

If you need me to test any specific software configurations on this
hardware please advise.

The box in question can be spared for Debian related testing and
development as required.
I haven't explicitly tested the hard disk for errors, but I've no reason
to doubt the problem
wasn't caused by the upgrade. The box is exhibiting other problematic
behaviour at the time, however that is believed to be application level
software issues (OpenOffice). Will update this report if any hardware
issues are found in testing.

The update included a large number of other packages, but a diff of the
initrd images suggests that udev is responsible for the majority of the
difference in that areas.

 I *really* wonder what could lead you to believe that udev can account
 for this...

Because udev is what changed.

Bug#407534: iceweasel: Iceweasel loses searchplugins on upgrade from firefox

2007-01-19 Thread Simon Waters
Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal


Running Debian Etch, today the upgrade to Iceweasel from Firefox 1.5.0.3 was 
available. On upgrade Iceweasel imported bookmarks, and other per user data 
fine except for searchplugins.

The search box was non-functional after upgrade, and the manage search 
plugins feature also unresponsive on requests to get search plugins.

On inspection it has created a new profile .mozilla/$USER/profile random 
string, but with no searchplugins directory.

cp -rp ~/.mozilla/firefox/old profile random string/searchplugins 
.mozilla/$USER/new profile random string/

And restarting Iceweasel resolved the issue.

Likely reasons for my install being different include;

 Historical use of Mozilla Firefox tar ball in this account (i.e. at
one point before using the Debian Firefox I used one downloaded from
Mozilla).
 
 Custom searchplugins were installed in the searchplugins directory
(including a backup directory).

Anyway the resolution is fairly obvious once you know they are in a directory, 
this bug can presumably be closed unless it is more widespread than my work PC.

Bug#407533: iceweasel: Upgrade webpage missing

2007-01-19 Thread Simon Waters
Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-2
Severity: minor


On upgrade from Firefox 1.5.0.3 to Iceweasel in Etch, the page one is
directed to when Iceweasel first starts to show you information about
the upgrade gives a 404 Not Found error on the Mozilla site.

The resolution would be to skip this step entirely or point to a page under the
control of the Debian project.

Bug#406379: cups-pdf: Installation require non-obvious behaviour on part of user.

2007-01-10 Thread Simon Waters
Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist

After installing this package, when setting up a printer in CUPS, the user
must know that that file;

/usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/PostscriptColor.ppd

Is the correct (or at least sensible default) to use in the CUPS (or GNOME) 
user interface as a driver.

The README.Debian even complains about people getting this wrong, without 
telling them what the correct thing to do is.

Presumably there may also be an issue with CUPS not accepting this information, 
as a hint to the user interface.  

But can we at least add this to README.Debian, and preferably hide such details 
from the end user entirely.

I've 15 years Unix admin background, so the hint in the README.Debian
was sufficient, but the average end user told they need a specific PPD
file is not going to know where it might be, or how to get it, even
though it is included with this package. Okay the average end user
probably won't read the README.Debian file.
