Bug#1052304: kafs failure testing

2023-09-27 Thread Bill MacAllister

I spent a couple days bisecting kernels attempting to isolate this bug
to a specific kernel.  What I found was that the simple test that I
included in the initial bug report, i.e. ls /afs/ca-zephyr.org, is not
sufficient to test for failure.  This test can succeed multiple times
and then sometime later fail.  Which meant that my bisection attempts
where pretty much useless.  I will work on a better test for this issue.

Bug#866952: xen-system-amd64: Xen 4.8 Install on Stretch Crashes on Boot

2017-07-02 Thread Bill MacAllister
Package: xen-system-amd64
Version: 4.8.1-1+deb9u1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

 Initially an attempt was made to upgrade an existing Jessie
 Xen 4.4 system to Stretch Xen 4.8.  When that failed I decided
 to start with a fresh Stretch install.
 
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

 - First, I just replaced 'jessie' with 'stretch' in sources.list
   and ran 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.  The resulting system crashed
   on boot.
 - Second, I installed a new stretch system, updated my puppet
   manifest to support Xen 4.8, ran puppet, and rebooted.  The
   resulting system crashed on boot exactly the same as my first
   attempt.
 - Third, I installed a new stretch system and installed only the
   xen-system-amd64 package.  The resulting system crashed on boot
   exactly the same as my first attempt.
   
   * What was the outcome of this action?

 Here is the output captured from a serial console connection.

Bug#633652: emacs on a text console - please help me overcome the shock

But that's the way it must be here on Debian, if you are root.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633652
My question is how do all those high powered Debian Developers cope?
Don't tell me they don't use emacs.
Or not as root.
Not even
when
administering their system?


If you are truly using the console then it is likely that some of the
issues have nothing to do with emacs and everything to do with the
console terminal emulation.  At a base level emacs is depending on
escape sequences to move the cursor around, but I expect it is doing
a lot fancier things that only a good terminal emulator will keep up
with.  And I would add that I don't really want anyone working on
improving console terminal emulation---there are too many other things
to do that need to be done and no one spends much time on the console
these days.

As a side note I really hate modal editors like vi and its decendents,
but I know enough of it to be able to work on consoles when emacs is
not installed yet or the terminal emulation is not up to it.  It is
just part of managing the system in my view.

Finally, when I am editing text I find that a mouse slows everything
down.  I do just fine with character cell xterms and no mouse.  I do
think it is worth getting color to work when possible.  The syntax
highlighting helps me spot stupid errors early.
