evidence? Are you making the right arguments? Are you using the right 
terminology? Are your numbers right? Are you learning from rejections? Are you 
assembling the right documents? Do you know how to create a clear and concise 
standard funding bid? Are you communicating with people or just excluding them? 
Do you know your own organisation well enough? Are you thinking through your 
projects carefully enough? Do you know enough about your competitors? Are you 
answering the questions funders will ask themselves about your application? Are 
you submitting applications correctly?

BID WRITING: ADVANCED   Start 12.00  Finish 14.30  Cost £95

Are you applying to the right trusts? Are you applying to enough trusts? Are 
you 
asking for the right amount of money? Are you applying in the right ways? Are 
your projects the most fundable projects? Are you carrying out trust 
fundraising 
in a professional way? Are you delegating enough work? Are you highly 
productive 
or just very busy? Are you looking for trusts in all the right places? How do 
you compare with your competitors for funding? Is the rest of your fundraising 
hampering your bids to trusts? Do you understand what trusts are ideally 
looking 
for?

BID WRITING: INTERACTIVE   Start 10.00  Finish 16.00  Cost £295/£345 

Here is how the day works. You bring 11 copies of your standard funding bid or 
a 
recent bid. Print them out triple spaced in Arial 16 point font. We will 
provide 
a big table, pens, a trainer and up to 9 other attendees. We will all review 
your bid. Word by word. Line by line. We will test out your jargon and your 
acronyms to see how well understood they really are. We will ask “What are you 
actually trying to say here?”. Once your bid is revised you will have the 
chance 
to review up to 9 other bids to learn from other people’s bids and how they go 
about things. By the end of the day you should have a better written, clearer, 
more effective bid than you arrived with. If it is perfect already then at 
least 
you will have had that confirmed by up to 10 other people. We will send you a 
questionnaire in advance about your trust and foundation fundraising statistics 
and strategy. We will all then review that strategy to see how you are doing 
now, what you should be aiming to achieve in the future and the practical steps 
to bring that about. Finally we will review your organisation as a whole. What 
aspects should you be telling more people more about. What aspects should you 
be 
trying to improve in the years ahead to increase your success rate with trusts 
and foundations.

Bug#943398: linux-perf-5.2: perf report segmentation fault

2020-01-13 Thread Bernhard Übelacker
Dear Maintainer,
I could reproduce using linux-perf-5.2 and it is
also visible in linux-perf-5.4 5.4.8-1,
by just pressing enter.

The crash happens because in line 3172
function hist_browser__selected_entry returns
browser->he_selection, which is at this time a
null pointer.
This null pointer gets dereferenced to
access the res_samples member.

Upstream seems to have fixed other occourences [1]
of browser->he_selection being null, but this is
already contained in 5.4 while a crash still happens.

Kind regards,
Bernhard

IMHO this is probably an unrelated bug in the same kmod upgrade.  You
should report it as such, which the full log output and a subject
decribing the issue instead of the bogus error message.

The logspam caused by the lookup_builtin_file() bug makes it hard to
spot real errors, but hopefully there is some clue to your problem there
too.

Hello,

This bug resulted in complete system breakage and I couldn't boot
anymore (systemd failing to load Kernel modules). I can guarantee that
this isn't only cosmetic.

I believe this isn't related to initramfs-tools, because downgrading
kmod and libkmod2 from version 26+20191223-1 to version 26-3 fixes the
issue. Initramfs now build (and run) correctly.

Bug#948782: linux: Request for CONFIG_DM_CLONE=m on 5.4+

2020-01-13 Thread Nikos Tsironis
Source: linux
Version: 5.4.8-1
Severity: normal

Dear Debian kernel maintainers,

Could you consider enabling the dm-clone device mapper target as a
module from the 5.4 kernel and onwards?

dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device. The cloned device is
visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to the
destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user I/O.

Thanks,
Nikos Tsironis
