Bug#694068: wireless fail after stretch^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hbuster^H^H^H^H^H^Hbullseye installation

2021-12-13 Thread David Wright
Having just swatted away this bug while installing bullseye
on a laptop that has 1xUSB3, 2xUSB-C and no ethernet, I thought
I should share the workaround here. This is only necessary,
I'm led to believe, when installing by WiFi without the
installation of a Desktop.

Before tearing down the WiFi interface at the very end of
the installation, the d-i should simply copy the existing
/target/etc/network/interfaces file to /target/root/, perhaps
named as etc-network-interfaces-at-installation, with its
permissions set to 600.

When the machine is rebooted, it is now straightforward for
the sysadmin to login and simply:

  # mv /root/etc-network-interfaces-at-installation /etc/network/interfaces
  # ifup w

to give themselves WiFi connectivity (using sudo if necessary).

This workaround has the benefit of being fail-safe: the file has
no effect on the system if the sysadmin ignores it and leaves it
in /root, but if they do move it as above, then they've taken
responsibility for its effects on any software they install later.

Naturally, it would require a note in the Installation Guide for
this method to be useful if the sysadmin is not one to make use
of root's home directory.

Cheers,
David.



Bug#791835: PDF document's headings are gibberish ROT(-1)

2015-07-08 Thread David Wright
Package: release-notes

The PDF file at https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/release-notes.en.pdf
has headings which have letter substitutions a->thorn b->a c->b etc.

The french version is similar. I haven't checked other languages.
The data on page one is July 5, 2015. (256492 bytes.)

Cheers,
David.

Bug#778881: binfmt-support.service activating (start) for ever, no console

2015-02-20 Thread David Wright
Package: binfmt-support
Version: 2.1.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Booting up; now happening about once in four times. One reads that:

[ Cylon eye ] A start job is running for Enable support for additional 
executable binary formats (3h 7min 57s / no limit)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

Discovered that I can ssh in (when at home) and so I collected the
information below.

Alternatively I have pressed ^C on the console and/or CtrlAltDel and/or
the power button.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Sometimes, the Cylon eye freezes and the clock stops counting up
(or sometimes neither of these).

Regardless, I have to hard reset eventually.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Some sort of error message and perhaps a recovery mode login,
or else some sort of closedown.

A secondary observation: logging in over the network via ssh takes much
longer than usual, as does then executing /bin/su -

Bug#777558: tex-common: Redundant function in postinst

2015-02-09 Thread David Wright
Package: tex-common
Version: 5.03
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The following lines (50--55) in the postinst script appear to be
redundant since the removal of a large chunk of postinst.

--8>

cleanup()
{
  rc=$?
  [ -n "$tempdir" ] && rm -rf "$tempdir"
  exit $rc
}

--8>

cleanup used to be called from this snippet:

tempdir=`mktemp -d`
tempfile=`mktemp -p $tempdir`
trap 'cleanup' HUP INT QUIT BUS PIPE TERM

in the wheezy version.

Only a wish (not a need); because I will own them (I presume) and I
browse/archive them from mc which I don't trust to run as root. Sorry
it's not a compelling reason for any degree of hard work to change!

I think you've just expanded my vocabulary.

The ability of the installer's "partitioner" to avoid touching the
partition table (and reformatting any of their contents) could perhaps
be spelled out more emphatically nowadays because some people have
issues with precisely which partition program touches their disk(s).

Problems:

Wishlist: I would like to be able to copy the installation logs to
/target/home// (using the option "Mounted Filesystem") so
that when first-user reboots the system, the logs are all there in
~/install/ ready for consultation and archival.

Unfortunately, all the while that "Save Logs" is available as an
optional step, /target/home// does not yet exist because
the accounts are only created *after* "Finish Installation" is
executed.

There may be an ugly hack: let "Finish Installation" create the user
accounts and ask about the RTC. Use the opportunity on these screens
to "Go Back" and then "Save Logs". Now repeat "Finish Installation".
The user accounts are recreated, and I assume (unchecked) that extra
files in /target/home// are not an issue (one can install

The effect on a laptop with a 1.8GHz twin processor and 2GB memory running
X and the fvwm window manager is that everything stops for several minutes,
including the clock display and, worse, the mouse, which means you have to
be careful not to click anywhere because when the click action happens, the
mouse might be anywhere on the screen after it has played catch-up.

Please replace the large images with smaller versions. If large PNGs are
required, they can be generated from the svg files.

Cheers,
David.

Bug#767163: util-linux: root partition not being fsck'd

2014-10-31 Thread David Wright
Quoting Phillip Susi (ps...@ubuntu.com):
[...]

Yes. Years ago, it contained:

# root filesystem
/dev/hda1 / ext2 ... 0 1
... some lines ...
# mount point for USB stick as that's where they popped up
/dev/sda1 /media/foo ... ,user,noauto, ... 0 0
... (several of these, b, c) ...

and it evolved into:

# root filesystem
LABEL=abcd01 / ext4 ... 0 1
... many, many more lines for caddies, cards etc ...
/dev/sda1 /media/foo ... ,user,noauto, ... 0 0
... ...

Cruft, I know...and less easily spotted now that one doesn't write
/dev/sda1 as the name of the root partition but uses UUID/LABEL.

AIUI wheezy and previous versions would not fsck /dev/sda1 a second
time because of the "0" in the sixth field, and wouldn't try to mount
it again because of "noauto" in the fourth field. And because
inserting a USB stick would never provoke the kernel into creating a
/dev/sda1 (but would use sdb, sdc, etc) the /dev/sda1 line would languish
at the bottom of the file, ever forgotten.

But "man fstab" says
 "The order of records in fstab is important because fsck(8), mount(8),
 and umount(8) sequentially iterate through fstab doing their thing."

While one might argue that the "man fsck" option -A which says
 "Filesystems with a fs_passno value of 0 are skipped and are not
 checked at all."
could excuse fsck from checking /dev/sda1 if it prioritised fstab
in the way you suggested , that contradicts "man fstab" which is
squarely aimed at me, the system administrator (whereas man fsck -A
is aimed at writers of initalisation scripts).

So I still think the root filesystem should get checked under these
circumstances.

Thanks once again to you both for your help in opening my eyes to the
problem. I've revised the way I maintain my fstabs!

Cheers,
David.

Well, that revealed what's going on.

west ~# fsck -N /dev/sda1
fsck from util-linux 2.25.1
[/sbin/fsck.vfat (1) -- /media/vfat-a1] fsck.vfat /dev/sda1 
west ~# fsck -N /dev/sda2
fsck from util-linux 2.25.1
[/sbin/fsck.ext4 (1) -- /westw] fsck.ext4 /dev/sda2

whereas on wheezy I got

west ~# fsck -N /dev/sda1
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /westj] fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1 
west ~# fsck -N /dev/sda2
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
[/sbin/fsck.ext4 (1) -- /] fsck.ext4 /dev/sda2 
west ~# 

And I recognised "/media/vfat-a1" as something I wrote years ago.
For various reasons, some historical, my /etc/fstab looks like:

--8<--

If you're wondering why the last paragraph starts at /dev/sda1, it's
because my hard drives (I'm still on PATA drives) used to be mounted
on /dev/hda... and so the first stick/caddy plugged in would appear
as /dev/sda1 (or /dev/sda if the filesystem was not in a partition).

I've now observed that my box running sid does both: it fscks
/dev/sda1 and then emits the same messages as jessie before it's
cleared a moment later. (I grabbed a photograph.)

So the problem now seems to be: why does sid bother with an fstab
entry that has "0" at the end, and why does jessie apparently throw
away the entry that has "1" at the end in favour of the second entry?

Would I be correct in guessing that the zero logical sector size comes
from picking up a number from a FAT-ty location that contains zero in
a linux partition.

Thanks for all your help in tracking this down.

Cheers,
David.

west is the system which is running jessie/sid.

The other system I mentioned is wasp which is running sid. Its
util-linux is version 2.25.2-2 and it has identical symptoms.
The main difference is that I recreated the ext4 partition /dev/sda1
on wasp with the wheezy netinst CD before installing minimal wheezy
and immediately dist-upgrading to sid.

I routinely dump /run/udev/data/b8:... to a file so that I can peruse
it elsewhere, so at risk of verbosity here are the /dev/sda and
/dev/sda1 for wasp before (running wheezy) and after (running sid). 
(The information in the files has changed a little from wheezy to sid
in any case.)

Bug#767163: util-linux: root partition not being fsck'd

2014-10-28 Thread David Wright
Package: util-linux
Version: 2.25.1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

My jessie/sid laptop's root filesystem, partition 1, is no longer
fsck'd at reboot. After issuing a message, fsck then appears to try
and run a FAT fsck on what is an ext3 filesystem that mounts as such.
This started happening after upgrading util-linux from 2.20.1-5.11

Wrongly, from jessie/sid daemon.log:

/var/log/daemon.log:Oct 28 12:52:39 west systemd-fsck[133]: Please pass 
'fsck.mode=force' on the kernel command line rather than creating /forcefsck on 
the root file system.
[... various systemd-modules-load messages ...]
/var/log/daemon.log:Oct 28 12:52:39 west systemd-fsck[133]: Logical sector size 
is zero.
/var/log/daemon.log:Oct 28 12:52:39 west systemd-fsck[133]: fsck.fat 3.0.26 
(2014-03-07)

The other partitions are fsck'd as normal. Partition 2 is a wheezy installation
and booting this works perfectly, including fscking partition 1:

Correctly, from wheezy boot.log:

The partitions were originally written by squeeze, and partition 1 has been
dist-upgraded to wheezy, then jessie. I have the identical problem on a desktop
which has the same partitioning scheme except that (a) I created a new ext4
filesystem in partition 1 while installing from a wheezy netinst CD and
(b) it's running sid on partition 1.

Bug#547329: update-manager-core: Crash after selecting 'No' to safe upgrade question

2009-10-24 Thread david wright
by 'purging' update-manager, I assume you mean removing update-manager-gnome

I preformed the following:
$ sudo apt-get remove update-manager-gnome
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager-gnome
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

however I still recieve a similiar experience to the one described in this bug.

Since it's related but, to me, different enough, I have opened a bug against 
it. see  #552247

Bug#548991: ITP: libcriticism-perl -- Perl pragma to enforce coding standards and best-practices

2009-09-29 Thread david wright
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: david wright 


* Package name: libcriticism-perl
  Version : 1.02
  Upstream Author : Jeffrey Thalhammer 
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/criticism/
* License : Artistic | GPL-1+
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Perl pragma to enforce coding standards and best-practices
 This pragma enforces coding standards and promotes best-practices by running
 your file through Perl::Critic before every execution. In a production
 system, this usually isn't feasible because it adds a lot of overhead at
 start-up. If you have a separate development environment, you can effectively
 bypass the criticism pragma by not installing Perl::Critic in the production
 environment. If Perl::Critic can't be loaded, then criticism just fails
 silently.

I am confused by the RT bug filed against this ITP.

>* Initial Release (Closes: #548618)

At the bottom of the module it states:
http://search.cpan.org/~phaylon/Declare-Constraints-Simple-0.03/lib/Declare/Constraints/Simple.pm


LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT ^

This module is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under

Am I missing something, why is this not sufficient?

Thanks,

Bug#507014: I would expect a 'git' package to represent "Git - Fast Version Control System"

2009-03-08 Thread david wright
Package: git
Version: 4.9.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #507014


I would expect apt-get install git would be the equilivent of
'sudo aptitude install git-core git-buildpackage pristine-tar'

dwri...@debian:~/$ which git
dwri...@debian:~/$ sudo apt-get install git
dwri...@debian:~/$ which git
dwri...@debian:~/$ 
dwri...@debian:~/$ sudo aptitude install git-core git-buildpackage pristine-tar
dwri...@debian:~/$ which git
/usr/bin/git

I had to do a search to find how to install git,
("Git - Fast Version Control System") in debian, seems sub-optimal.
