Bug#499297: Bug still present in latest versions

I do have a distorted sounding beep, but will see how this goes after the next reboot (when the alsa 1.0.18rc3 modules will be loaded onto a freshly booted machine) If you decide to compile alsa 1.0.18rc3, you need to apply this patch to avoid oopses: http://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg17103.html The beep is kinda ugly and it can't be turned down all the way (there's a volume control, but it doesn't turn it down arbitrarily close to 0), but it's better than having no beep at all. -- TimC Calm down, it's *only* ones and zeroes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#503062: initramfs-tools: /conf/conf.d/cryptroot file is missing in initrd
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92j Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system I did install testing on my new ThinkPad last April, and choose to put the root partition under encryption on lvm, using the offered Debian installer functionality. This has worked fine and I soon switched to self-built kernels, and using update-initramfs to create the corresponding initrd's. IIRC I've successfully installed at least two or three versions of initrd's during this time. (On Jun 11 I wrote a wrapper script around update-initramfs to aid me remember which options to use.) Somehow initrd.img-2.6.26.3 from August or September was broken and didn't boot. It would not ask for the root partition password anymore but just hang upon boot. On September 11 and 12 I went through the trouble debugging the issue, and found out that the initrd was now missing the conf/conf.d/cryptroot file. I re-added that file back to the new initrd and the system would ask for the passphrase and boot again. Here's the diff: # diff -rubBN C D diff -rubBN C/conf/conf.d/cryptroot D/conf/conf.d/cryptroot --- C/conf/conf.d/cryptroot 1970-01-01 01:00:00.0 +0100 +++ D/conf/conf.d/cryptroot 2008-09-11 23:19:25.0 +0200 @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +target=sda8_crypt,source=/dev/sda8,key=none,lvm=main-root I didn't find out why this happened, but hoped that maybe somehow the problem would fix itself (maybe by update-initramfs looking at the old initrd, which is obviously not the case, or whatever). Now I installed a newer kernel recently and the problem happened again. What should I do, hack up a script that automatically fixes the generated initrd, or where lies the problem? -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/main-root ro quiet -- /proc/filesystems reiserfs ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by binfmt_misc10060 1 nvidia 8105936 22 rfcomm 40288 0 l2cap 22720 5 rfcomm bluetooth 57764 4 rfcomm,l2cap uinput 8832 1 acpi_cpufreq7952 1 cpufreq_powersave 2368 0 cpufreq_stats 5088 0 cpufreq_userspace 3948 0 cpufreq_ondemand8464 1 cpufreq_conservative 8264 0 freq_table 5328 3 acpi_cpufreq,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand ext3 136976 1 jbd52776 1 ext3 mbcache 9476 1 ext3 loop 17420 0 firewire_sbp2 16408 0 snd_usb_audio 94880 0 snd_usb_lib18176 1 snd_usb_audio arc42240 2 snd_seq_dummy 3460 0 ecb 3392 2 snd_hda_intel 449300 0 iwl4965 200520 0 pcmcia 38872 0 firmware_class 8960 2 iwl4965,pcmcia snd_seq_oss33664 0 iwlcore29700 1 iwl4965 snd_seq_midi7424 0 snd_seq_midi_event 8512 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq57888 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_pcm_oss43360 0 rfkill 7584 2 iwlcore snd_mixer_oss 17088 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_rawmidi24992 2 snd_usb_lib,snd_seq_midi snd_pcm86536 3 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss mac80211 155284 2 iwl4965,iwlcore snd_seq_device 8212 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_hwdep 8776 1 snd_usb_audio yenta_socket 25676 1 rsrc_nonstatic 11392 1 yenta_socket joydev 11968 0 snd_timer 23888 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm rtc_cmos 11064 0 pcmcia_core41060 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic snd67976 11 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep,snd_timer rtc_core 18820 1 rtc_cmos rtc_lib 3648 1 rtc_core iTCO_wdt 12048 0 soundcore 8416 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9616 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm i2c_i8019884 0 i2c_core 25824 2 nvidia,i2c_i801 cfg80211 28944 2 iwl4965,mac80211 pcspkr 3072 0 psmouse42780 0 serio_raw 6340 0 battery12680 0 ac 5320 0 thinkpad_acpi 61204 0 button 7584 0 intel_agp 30128 0 led_class 5000 2 iwlcore,thinkpad_acpi nvram 9164 2 thinkpad_acpi evdev 11328 8 reiserfs 241216 3 sha256_generic 9728 0 aes_x86_64 8384 2 aes_generic28200 1 aes_x86_64 cbc 4160 1 dm_crypt 14472 1 crypto_blkcipher 19396 4 ecb,cbc,dm_crypt usbhid 30496 0 hid

maybe, but if that's the case, then there are a lot of broken gateways or filters out there... is it really healthy to make tcp_dsack on by default?

Bug#434040: Debian bug #434040 (Conflicting declarations for dev_t)
Josselin - Is there anything that is possible to help fixing this before the release? My reading of header files shows that libc6-dev in etch, lenny, and sid does not suffer from the original problem. The files that include a workaround (ugly, but apparently functional) for possible namespace pollution are /usr/include/sys/kd.h /usr/include/sys/sysctl.h I don't see mention of this problem in the Debian glibc changelog, and I don't know how to pull out older copies to see when this workaround was added. An earlier attempt is part of sarge (libc6-dev version 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6). The simplest approach to this bug is to close it. Joey mentions apm.h. It turns out this is the _only_ other file (at least on my sid system) in /usr/include that nests to a linux kernel header file. It really should have a workaround like that in glibc. So this bug could be cloned, the copy assigned to apmd, and marked important. I append a patch that is arguably cleaner than the approach used by glibc, and is somewhat tested (I checked that it didn't break the build of battery-stats, osdsh, sleepd, or wmbattery, and it fixes Joey's test case). My patch depends on a feature (__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES) of linux/types.h that is at least as old as sarge (linux-kernel-headers version 2.5.999-test7-bk-17). This macro is defined in glibc features.h, so it looks like all the preprocessor gyrations in sys/sysctl.h are not needed, because that file includes features.h. - Larry --- apm.h.orig 2003-01-16 13:50:36.0 -0800 +++ apm.h 2008-10-13 13:43:47.0 -0700 @@ -20,6 +20,13 @@ * $Id: apm.h,v 1.7 1999/07/05 22:31:11 apenwarr Exp $ * */ +#ifndef _APM_H +#define _APM_H 1 + +#ifndef __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES +#define __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES +#endif + #include linux/apm_bios.h #include sys/types.h @@ -93,3 +100,5 @@ #else #define apm_reject(fd) (-EINVAL) #endif + +#endif -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#494308: e100 firmware testing
hey Ben, I got around to testing a build from the source you reference in your blog[1] today - but it appears that the e100 patch in place simply removes the firmware and marks the driver broken. I see in #494308 that there were a couple of different approaches being considered for e100, so perhaps e100 is still a work in progress. If you decide to move forward w/ a request_firmware() approach, you might want to take note that the e100 driver will be included in the initramfs by default. This means that the firmware should be included in the initramfs as well. You should be able to enable an initramfs hook in the firmware-nonfree source package - see bnx2/defines for an example. I know this works for fw blobs that live in /lib/firmware, but I don't know how well it would deal with files in other subdirectories (e.g. /lib/firmware/e100/). Thanks!

I see in #494308 that there were a couple of different approaches being considered for e100, so perhaps e100 is still a work in progress. My changes to e100 in linux-2.6 are actually divided across 3 files under debian/patches, following what has been done for several other instances of sourceless firmware: 1. debian/dfsg/e100-disable.patch inserts #ifdef REMOVE_DFSG...#endif around the microcode and marks the driver as BROKEN in Kconfig. 2. debian/dfsg/files-1 uses unifdef to remove the microcode. 3. features/all/e100-request_firmware.patch removes the BROKEN mark and adds firmware loading using request_firmware. Each of the 11 other drivers is dealt with similarly, except that for most of them we can use rm instead of unifdef.

I was hoping it would be ready for Lenny, but that's probably a long shot. The beep is kinda ugly and it can't be turned down all the way (there's a volume control, but it doesn't turn it down arbitrarily close to 0), but it's better than having no beep at all. Did you tried snd-pcsp ? I think that's trying to solve a different problem, isn't it? I was under the impression that snd-pcsp was a module for simulating a soundcard using the beeper speaker. It would indeed sound quite ugly. But this particular patch allows us to use the soundcard normally, with the beeper speaker routed through it - a common functionality on laptops that used to just work before snd-hda-intel came into common use. -- TimC Chairman: We continue with an afternoon of numerical stimulations. -- An astronomy talk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
