Firefox 78 ESR on Debian
Hi, Now that Firefox 68 ESR has reached EOL it would be time to update to 78 ESR (moreover sites are dropping support for 68 ESR). Sadly I could not find it in debian security fixes, so do you plan to ship it or is it a miss ? Thanks !

My findings in the dedicated bug report about ksmserver. This bug seems anyway hard to debug, and maybe 5.8.7 contains a fix for this.

Hi,
It turns out that the mix of 5.8.6 and 5.8.7 plasma parts leads to some
extremely annoying issues, at least for me. The most noticeable are :
- Massive memory leak in ksmserver (bug #881015)
- From time to time the system does not detect my soundcard anymore.
These issues did not appear prior to Debian 9.2 release so I strongly
suspect that the mix of 5.8.6 and 5.8.7 libs triggered the issues.
For the latter one I must stress that my GPU is detected as a soundcard as
well, which is a normal behaviour. (NVidia GPU w/ 375.82 blob)
Restarting KDE fixes the issues, but for the issue with ksmserver you have
to kill ksmserver manually, and then run kill -9 -1 as the component
becomes unresponsive when it stats leaking memory.
So could you please make a full transition to 5.8.7 ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi, Sorry to disturb but as this package contains critical security fixes and because it has already been uploaded to jessie-bpo could you please upload it to stable-updates before the point release ? Issue for jessie-bpo : https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2017/09/msg9.html Thanks in advance, On Sun, 13 Aug 2017 18:04:10 +0200 Julien Aubin wrote: > Hi, > > Also tested on a third machine w/ a GeForce GTX 760 and KDE and kernel 4.9 > AMD64 and it works well too. > > Thanks > > 2017-08-13 16:51 GMT+02:00 Debian Bug Tracking System < ow...@bugs.debian.org > >: > > > Thank you for the additional information you have supplied regarding > > this Bug report. > > > > This is an automatically generated reply to let you know your message > > has been received. > > > > Your message is being forwarded to the package maintainers and other > > interested parties for their attention; they will reply in due course. > > > > Your message has been sent to the package maintainer(s): > > Debian Release Team > > > > If you wish to submit further information on this problem, please > > send it to 869...@bugs.debian.org. > > > > Please do not send mail to ow...@bugs.debian.org unless you wish > > to report a problem with the Bug-tracking system. > > > > -- > > 869836: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=869836 > > Debian Bug Tracking System > > Contact ow...@bugs.debian.org with problems > >

Bug#862243: Just a kind reminder to release team - unblock linux kernel
Hi, Just a kind reminder to release team, as d-i release manager has ack the fixes by Salvatore could you please unblock the kernel update ? As of now Debian testing users are at risk because of many security issues which are fixed in this newer kernel release. The fixed security issues are mentionned there : https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/linux Thanks a lot !
Unblock kernel 4.9.25 for Stretch
Hi, As of now Debian Stretch kernel has multiple security flaws that are referenced there : https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linux These flaws have been fixed in the unstable branch since then w/ kernel 4.9.25, and some of them are classified as "high". Could you please unblock this kernel for Stretch as well so that users benefit from the fixes ? Rgds,
