[DNG] "chimeara/ceres" in lsb_release output causes failure to compile kernel
Hi!
I tried to see how to report this bug on bugs.devuan.org, or on
dev1galaxy.org but couldn't magage with Tor.
Here's the error:
$ make -j8 deb-pkg
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
UPD include/config/kernel.release
make clean
sh ./scripts/package/mkdebian
TAR linux-5.4.9.tar.gz
origversion=$(dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion |sed 's/-[^-]*$//');\
mv linux-5.4.9.tar.gz ../linux-5.4.9_${origversion}.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-parsechangelog: warning: debian/changelog(l2): found end of file
where expected first heading
dpkg-parsechangelog: error: fatal error occurred while parsing
debian/changelog
dpkg-buildpackage -r"fakeroot -u" -a$(cat debian/arch) -i.git -us -uc
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: debian/changelog(l2): found end of file
where expected first heading
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fatal error occurred while parsing debian/changelog
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:77: deb-pkg] Error 25
make: *** [Makefile:1427: deb-pkg] Error 2
And here's the fix. In the kernel source, in the file:
./scripts/package/mkdebian
add '| cut -d/ ' into this line:
< elif distribution=$(lsb_release -cs 2>/dev/null) && [ -n "$distribution"
] && [ "$distribution" != "n/a" ]; then
so that it becomes:
> elif distribution=$(lsb_release -cs | cut -d/ -f2 2>/dev/null) && [ -n
"$distribution" ] && [ "$distribution" != "n/a" ]; then
Save it. And then the kernel can be compiled.
The issue is with the lsb_release, or the kernel folks should accept the
second filed to have a '/'... and change the mkdebian file accordingly.
$ lsb_release -cs
chimaera/ceres
$
does not work with the kernel.
I hope this report will still be useful!

Re: [DNG] mlterm to display path in window frame
I apologize for the time gap, but ill health put me out of
commission for two months.
My aim was to have mlterm behave like xterm and display the current
path in its frame.
The mltem accepts a value for -T that specifies the title for the
mlterm window. In a terminal if I issue the command: $ mlterm -T $PWD
I get the current path displayed as I want.
If in ~/.mlterm/main I put the line: title = $PWD, the window of
mlterm displays $PWD literally rather than current path.
Assuming mlterm is a variant of xterm, I should be able to set the
window title by placing this stanza into /etc/profile
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ]; then
PS1="\033]2;\u@\h:\w\007bash$ "
fi
I tried
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ]; then
PS1="$PWD"
fi
but neither had any effect. There is nothing in .mlterm/msg.log
If I launch from a CLI with the command $ mlterm -T $PS1 the window
displays: ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
If I launch form CLI with the command: $ mlterm -T $PWD it works
as desired.
At Arnt Karlsen's suggesttion, I took a look at
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title.html,
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/terminfo.src.html#tic-mlterm,
https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html#h2-Title-Modes
but it did not help.
It was suggesed that mlterm might understand the tsl escape sequence.
$ tput hsl
tput: unknown terminfo capability 'hsl'
$ tput tsl ; echo -n hellow ; tput fsl
[nothing returned]
If I type
export TERM=xterm+sl
and then do
$ tput hsl
tput: unknown terminfo capability 'hsl'
$ tput tsl ; echo -n hello ; tput fsl
[nothing returns]
$ infocomp mlterm | grep tsl
[nothing returns]
$ infocmp xterm+sl | grep tsl
dsl=\E]0;\007, fsl=^G, tsl=\E]0;,

Problems are not limited to real time operation. Stepping time, especially stepping backward will also break time flow of file timestamps. This can cause problem e.g. if you have script, which relies on file timestamps and the time steps back between touching a file and using its timestamp. Also it can happen that the atime becomes earlier than the ctime of a file. The "make" build tool also uses timestamps :-) > (It's distinctive that the entire RPi series lacks by default any RTC > circuitry, so it's particularly vulnerable to such software problems.) This problem has no relation to the existence of a hardware RTC or not. On Linux, the hardware RTC is in almost any case only read when the system boots/resumes and updated on system shutdown/sleep. During operation, Linux always uses a software RTC. (Otherwise system would be very slow, since accessing a hardware RTC is time consuming operation) The point with RPi is, that it has no RTC and thus can not restore current time on boot/resume. Thus in order to get the current time, an RPi must use some kind of NTP protocol. (And needs connection to a time server) cheers, Andreas -- gnuPG keyid: 8C2BAF51 fingerprint: 28EE 8438 E688 D992 3661 C753 90B3 BAAA 8C2B AF51 signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
