Package: pokerth Version: 0.6.2-1 Severity: normal Running a local game in pokerth seems to cause Xorg server to use about 90% CPU on my system; normal background usage (no activity beyond things like panel updates) is 0.0-0.3%. This is while there should be no activity -- it's waiting for me to act. The pokerth process itself isn't doing much. Stopping pokerth returns Xorg activity to normal. Restarting pokerth initially is fine, but as soon as I start a game, Xorg is back to ~90%. Huh. I just noticed that this happens only when the pokerth window has focus.

There is obviously the use of descriptors, which python2.3 doesn't
support. Further investigation show that python2.3 isn't in Debian
unstable anymore, but was still installed on my system because packages
aren't automatically removed just because they're not in the archive
any more. Since I didn't actually need it, I removed it (along with
python2.1 :-)), and yes, sonata now installs just fine. So the real
question is: why is install system (python-central?) using the obsolete
version of python by default?
This really isn't a sonata problem, but since I know zip about the
python packaging stuff, I'll let you reassign it appropriately.

That's fine if sonata is run from $HOME, but not if you happen to start it while your cwd is, say, /usr/share/pyshared. (Why was I not in $HOME? I don't know, just happened.) There's probably some reason ZSI doesn't default to $HOME/.service_proxy_dir, but sonata should probably set it.

DHCP failed, and setting it up manually appeared to work, but never actually pushed any packets. Further searching led to ubuntu bug 141343 (sorry, no way to copy full url), which indicates that the vendors r8168 module works, but has not made it to the kernel. I realize you guys can't add random external modules to the kernel package, but it might be worth noting in the errata, since this chipset is not uncommon, and the failure mode is not obvious. Also, it would, I think, be better for the r8169 module to reject this particular chipset than appear to work, but not. I worked around it by installing a different NC card I happened to have lying around: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) which worked fine with DHCP. [2] Manual paritioning. I initially made a mistake and partitioned both drives with an ext3 root file system. However, *before* writing the partition table, I went back and changed the partitions to MD RAID partitions. I then created the MD Raid 0 devices (which wrote the partition tables). When I returned to the top-level partitioning view, and tried to select /dev/md0, it seemed to hang. Dropping into the console, it looked like there were two partman sessions running. I killed both, and the installer returned to the menu. I re-selected partitioning, and it hung while reading the table. After a couple of go-rounds of this, I rebooted the installer and when I got to the partitioning, the disks showed the partitions but the raid devices were not shown. Fine. I went to re-create the devices, but was told no raid partitions were free. Returning to top-level partitioning display now showed the raid devices I had previously created. At this point I was able to select /dev/md0 for use as the root device, ext3 filesystem. Good to go. [3] Selecting Debian mirror and base system install. This is when I ran into the problem with signatures on the testing archive (discussed in previous e-mail, apparently a temporary problem). I ended up selecting a stable install. [4] I started to install the Standard System, but realized I didn't want to download and install all this stable (e.g. etch) software, and ended up killing the apt-get task, which brought be back to the top-level install menu. [5] First I tried grub. This failed, presumably because I had the etch version of grub and it wasn't happy trying to deal with the raided partitions. (I later succesfully installed the lenny grub.) In the meantime, I installed lilo, which worked fine. At this point, I tried Complete install tasks, but it wanted to put me back at the install standard system thing, and so I gave up and rebooted, figuring I fixup things by hand. Rebooted fine, but I was rather surprised to find no root password and no 'steveg' user, which I had specified earlier. I'd guess that the prompting for root password and the creation of another user doesn't actually set those, but just saves it for a later stage which I bypassed? (I later figured out that what I should have done is de-select *all* the items in task-select. That would have left me with just a base system install, but no error status, and complete install tasks would have worked. Is that right?) In the end, I've got a working system. The only real problem with the installer seems to be some flakiness with the partitioning and raid. FWIW, it looks and works a *lot* better than the last Debian install I did, which was, IIRC, pre-sarge. Oh, almost forgot. It would be nice if once I had told it not to load usb_storage and the pccard stuff, it didn't keep asking.

Due to problems with DB 4.6, this was reverted to DB 4.5 in Debian package 2.5.1-7. However, databases created (or modified?) by DB 4.6 are not usuable by DB 4.5; a common indicator is this exception: bsddb.db.DBInvalidArgError: (22, 'Invalid argument -- /some/file/name: unsupported hash version: 9') Note that you may not have explicitly used the bsddb extension, as other modules (such as anydbm and shelve) may use bsddb. To restore Python 2.5 access to your existing DB 4.6 file, you need to install two packages: db4.5-util and db4.6-util. Then, to recover the file example.db, use the following sequence of commands, noting carefully the distinction between 4.5 and 4.6: $ mv example.db example.db.db46 $ db4.6-dump example.db.db46 | db4.5-load example.db == Regards, Steve -- Steve Greenland The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating system and Linus Torvalds claims to be trying to take over the world. -- seen on the net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

What I mean by that (and queuing may not be the correct term), is that I want to select some songs from the library and add them to the playlist and as they are played, they are removed from the playlist. Does it support random play? Not shuffling the playlist, but if the playlist is empty, just select a random song from the library. If I select some songs from the library, it should play those, and then, when the playlist is again empty, go back to random selections. If not, do you have any idea if upstream would be amenable to such features? Obviously, they'd have final say over a particular implementation.

If you don't know what the package does well enough to write a long description, how do you know you want to package it? :-) It doesn't require deep knowledge, it just needs to be sufficient to help your potential users decide if the package might solve their problem. And of course the description may change later; I didn't mean to imply that I thought it needed to be fixed in stone. But people *do* look at the ITP, and far better to find and fix any problems before the initial package upload, yes? Package descriptions are a core way that people will find your package, and getting good info into a small amount of space is non-trivial: they can almost always be improved, and it's worth doing. I disagree with ITP should be filed the moment you'd like to package the software; I suspect that such a concept is one of the reasons we currently have something like 1200 open ITPs, many of which are years old. ITPs should be done when you are actually prepared to start working on the packaging. After all, what's the worst that can happen? Someone else pacakges it first! How is this a problem? Moreover, I've seen *many* itp without even a single word in long description (or with the template sentence): they do not give any additional clue to us then the short description, here at least you have an idea of what's in the package.

Bug#445459: lighttpd: mod_alias fails on localhost
Olaf van der Spek wrote:
I tried to reproduce this on a fresh install of 1.4.18-1, but failed.
A fresh install doesn't include aliases except those for 127.0.0.1, so
I'd like to ask you what you changed from the default configuration.
Uh, I added aliases (and enabled mod_alias, of course). For example, I
added the following for nagios support:
alias.url += (/nagios2/cgi-bin = /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios2,
/nagios2/ = /usr/share/nagios2/htdocs/,
)
If I access 'http://localhost/nagios2/', I get a 404. If I access
'http://speedy.moregruel.net/nagios2/', it works fine. Using IPs instead
of names makes no difference: using 127.0.0.1 fails, while 192.168.1.2
works.
Okay, while trying to make the minimal lighttpd.conf that exhibits the
problem, I found that aliases work if 10-mod_cgi.conf is not enabled.
(I'd guess that this makes this bug related to #345554.) In particular,
if I comment out the remoteip section in 10-cgi.conf like this:
#$HTTP[remoteip] == 127.0.0.1 {
# alias.url += ( /cgi-bin/ = /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ )
# $HTTP[url] =~ ^/cgi-bin/ {
# cgi.assign = ( = )
# }
#}
...aliases work again. I'm not sure why that section is there, the
/cgi-bin/ - /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ mapping should work no matter what the
remote IP.
BTW, if you expect the bug submitter to respond to a question, you
really need to CC the submitter; the BTS doesn't automatically do this
(which I think is bad design...) I just happened to check the bug and
found your question.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but applying this patch to 0.4.5.4-1
did not make my lockups go away.
I did the following on my sid system:
apt-get source aptitude
apt-get build-deps aptitude
cd aptitude-v
edited src/vscreen/vscreen.cc to add braces, here's the current fragment:
if(result != 1)
{
if(errno != EINTR) {
// Probably means that there was an error reading
// standard input. (could also be ENOMEM)
vscreen_post_event(new fatal_input_error(errno));
break;
}
}
else...
edited changelog to add new version
debian/rules build
fakeroot debian/rules binary
Installed the resulting dpkg. Dates on /usr/bin/aptitude show it to
be the new version.

This would be a bug. While I understand you prefer the bzr VCS over Arch, I see no justification for imposing your likes and dislikes over users happily using baz as their version control system. I would be most annoyed if baz would have been replaced by bzr on my systems if the sysadmin dude did not notice the change. Well, the issue at hand is that the upstream authors of Bazaar 1.x have renamed it to baz, and given away their name to some other project (bzr). Sooner or latter the packages will have to reflect *that*. Fine. Figure out a way to transition that doesn't involve automatically replacing baz with bzr. Or, just include in the bazaar package long description This is baz, not bzr. You probably want the bzr package, instead. Or, just have 'bazaar' depend on *both* baz and bzr.

Sigh. After the partial upgrade, which included linux-image-2.6.21-6 (from -5), and rebooting, the problem is gone. For now, at least. (I presume this was partial due to my interrupting whiptail several times, which probably derailed some of the packages.) After this, I did another upgrade, which included upgrading from glibc 2.5-11 to 2.6-2. Aptitude still works, but it was fixed before this. Oh, hmmm, I wonder: when you remove libc6-686, do you need to reboot to force a reload of libc6 without the -686 extensions, if they are in-use?

I have send a mail some time ago but it never did it to the BTS. Didn't see it. What I was saying in that mail was that if you install slim, xdm, gdm, kdm, ... you don't want that each one tries to start at boot. Right. I've no objection to that - it's obviously correct behavior. The problem is in how it is implemented. Indeed all of them have their corresponding init.d scripts, therefore the deconf value helps to start the default login manager which you can select with a `dpkg-reconfigure $yourloginmanager'. Right. Now nothing avoids you to start any login manager by hand within a tty to make some tests and more. No? Assuming gdm and slim are install, and gdm is selected as the default, then the following sequence does NOT work: # /etc/init.d/gdm stop(This works) # /etc/init.d/slim start (This does not) It fails because the default DM scheme is implemented using shell and/or environment variables rather than using the links in /etc/rc?.d[1], which is what is supposed to control what happens when booting. Worse, gdm and slim don't even implement the same scheme; slim can be controlled by setting HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER to false, but gdm requires editing the gdm startup file. I've no idea how the other DMs implement it; I've got no great confidence. The whole scheme should be a) handled by a central package, to avoid duplication of debconf templates and inconsistent implementation b) use the standard way of rc?.d symlinks c) not disobey the sysadmin when she type /etc/init.d/slim start. (Note that slim start can *fail* if there is another DM running; that's the admin's fault.)
