Bug#889072: chromium: Crash when opening print dialog (regression from v 63 in stable)

2018-03-28 Thread Tony Thedford
I am having the same issue. Chromium version 64.0.3282.119-1~deb9u1
exhibits the problem while version 63.0.3239.84-1~deb9u1 does not.

I also am running with strict isolation enabled.

I also agree that this is not a minor problem. It is actually kind of a
big problem since there is now no way to safely print a page from
Chromium. Turning off strict isolation is not a safe work around as far
as I know.

Bug#859220: Script /usr/share/lxcfs/lxc.mount.hook fails with mount command error 32 and causes lxc-start to fail

2017-03-31 Thread Tony Thedford

Package: lxc
Version: 2.0.7-2~bpo8+1

When I invoke the lxc-start command, it fails to start the container and 
outputs this error information:


lxc-start 20170330232720.943 ERRORlxc_conf - conf.c:run_buffer:405 - 
Script exited with status 32.

tools/lxc_start.c:main:370 - Additional information can be obtained by 
setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.


I traced the problem back to these lines in the script 
/usr/share/lxcfs/lxc.mount.hook:


# Mount the new entries
for entry in /var/lib/lxcfs/cgroup/*; do
DEST=$(basename $entry)

if [ "$DEST" = "name=systemd" ]; then
DEST="systemd"
fi

if [ ! -d ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/sys/fs/cgroup/${DEST} ]; then
mkdir ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/sys/fs/cgroup/${DEST}
fi

mount -n --bind $entry 
${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/sys/fs/cgroup/$DEST<-- ERROR 32 thrown here 
causing program to exit since shell bang line includes bash set -e option.


The mount error is caused by the $entry variable containing the exact 
string '/var/lib/lxcfs/cgroup/*' which is never a valid directory and 
cannot be mounted. The error condition of entry = 
'/var/lib/lxcfs/cgroup/*' is happening because the enclosing 'for' loop 
returns this string in the case where there are no files contained in 
the folder /var/lib/lxcfs/cgroup/ which is correct for bash operation. 
To work around this condition I modified my 
/usr/share/lxcfs/lxc.mount.hook script file as follows:


# Mount the new entries
for entry in /var/lib/lxcfs/cgroup/*; do
DEST=$(basename $entry)

### Tony inserted this FIX ##
if [ "$DEST" = "*" ]; then
break
fi
#

if [ "$DEST" = "name=systemd" ]; then
DEST="systemd"
fi

if [ ! -d ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/sys/fs/cgroup/${DEST} ]; then
mkdir ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/sys/fs/cgroup/${DEST}
fi

mount -n --bind $entry ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/sys/fs/cgroup/$DEST

This seems to have fixed the problem and my computer lxc operation 
appears to be working Ok now.


I am using Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie), kernel version 3.16.39-1+deb8u2, 
libc6 2.19-18+deb8u7, bash version 4.3.30(1)-release, dash version 
0.5.7-4+b1


Thanks

It is just as I thought.. incompetence has taken control. Good luck with 
that.

First of all, YES it does.. and a lot.. and the majority of competent Debian
users know this, and that is why you are catching so much hell over putting it

Since you must have spoken to the majority of competant Debian users to know 
this...

Could you write up a report of exactly what they said please it would be very
helpful. Or point to the report you read and quoted? If not, then stop with
the lies and the FUD.

You're the third. Perhaps you three the only competant Debian users?


bug-free, flexible) of Debian as a viable server and general purpose operating
system for critical applications.. and they don't want it screwed with!

You seem to think that you wont be able to chose not to use Systemd - so you've
not read very much of the debate or done much research. Here is a clue. Systemd
will never make it onto the non-linux ports, so there will always be at least
one other init available. You will always have a choice. And you could step up
to maintain more choice in Debian if you so desired rather than telling other
volunteers what to do. That is the Debian way.


I have been coding since the early 80's, so please don't go there with me, it
doesn't work. I don't care about systemd's capabilities.. that is a mute point.

Perhaps you meant a moot point. A mute point would be very quiet indeed.
Lots of other people do care and have said so in this debate. I happen to be one
using a lot of the new features to great effect, on desktops. AND SERVERS.


All I need to know is that it is an overly complicated, unnecessary piece of
crapware that reduces the integrity of the distribution and that is all that
matters.

You have to specific or you'll be accused of FUD. Hand waving and shouting does
not count.
_Can_ you give more information on how it is overcomplicated?
Or unnecessary?
Or crap?
If not... quit with the lies and the FUD.


As to you initial question about what I would have the developers do.. I would
say do just that.. develop Debian software that continues to make it a truly
universal operating system and follows the original intent of the Debian way.

Could you quote what the Debian way is? Are you a DD involved in defining that
elusive thing?

For _me_ one part of Debian has always to excell in making amazing technology
and code available for everyone. Times have changed in twenty years. The linux
kernel is not the same as it was in 1991. Computers are not used in the same
static ways. Debian has to support a huge range of very dynamic systems now, and
sysV just does not cut it. Sure it works _ok_ on static environments - but 
Debian
supports far more than static servers.


Debian has been around almost as long as the Internet itself..

Debian was started in 1993. The internet... try about 1973. Yes Debian is half
the age of the internet. It is nearly as old as the Linux kernel, and not that 
much
younger than GNU, but your point is invalidated by lack of truth.


there are a lot
of users out here that don't want to see anyone mess it up! ..Figure out a way
around being stuck having to use udev since it has been co-opted by systemd..
that would be my first task for you!

If you don't want udev, then try Debian Potato. It might make you happy and will
forever have sysvinit. And please stop with the FUD and other trolling.
