[Bug 454722] Re: inotify does not watch /proc

2014-11-10 Thread Derek Simkowiak
#24  Using inotifywait on /proc works fine too.

False, it does not notify you of new entries (like new processes
launched).  Try the program below for proof; launch it and run sleep
999 and you will not see the PID of your new sleep appear printed out.

Using inotify with /proc/ will probably never work, because the /proc/
entries are not files.  They don't get updated until you look at them.
It's not a bug, it's a design feature.  See

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/74713/how-frequently-is-the-
proc-file-system-updated-on-linux?rq=1


If you want to monitor new procs under Linux, use a socket with 
NETLINK_CONNECTOR instead.


#include stdlib.h
#include stdio.h
#include sys/inotify.h

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
int inotify_fd = inotify_init();
if (inotify_fd == -1) {
perror(inotify_init(): );
}
 
//int watch_descriptor = inotify_add_watch(inotify_fd, /proc, IN_CREATE);
int watch_descriptor = inotify_add_watch(inotify_fd, /proc, 
IN_ALL_EVENTS);
if (watch_descriptor == -1) {
perror(inotify_add_watch(): );
}
 
struct inotify_event *event;
char buf[1024];
ssize_t result;

// Watch forever, until signal (CTRL-C, etc.)
while(1) 
{
result = read(inotify_fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
if (result == -1){
perror(read(): );
}

// Print all events read from inotify_fd:
int index = 0;
while (index  result) {
event = (void *)(buf[index]);
printf(index %d: %s\n, (int)index, event-name);
index += sizeof(struct inotify_event) + event-len;
}
printf(\n);

}

[Bug 1214500] Re: consistent failure with overlayfs and unix sockets

2014-08-01 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Still there in 14.04.

Please be advised, this bug breaks the SSH ControlMaster feature, which
in turn breaks Android builds.

I am trying to use LXC containers (snapshot clones using overlayfs) to
build Android (12.04 container on a 14.04 host).  Android's build
utility repo is a python script that uses SSH with an SSH
ControlMaster (shared SSH session using a FIFO socket).  It creates a
master connection like this:

  ssh -M -N -p 29422 -o ControlPath=/tmp/ssh-ujjH6W/master-%r@%h:%p my-
upstream-android.mirror.com

...and then it reuses that connection to do a git pull (from gerrit) for
100+ git repos (called projects in Android lingo).

Since pipes don't work, running ./repo sync results in a bunch of
errors like this:

Control socket 
connect(/tmp/ssh-ujjH6W/master-jenkins.fromseat...@my-upstream-android.mirror.com):
 Connection refused
Control socket 
connect(/tmp/ssh-ujjH6W/master-jenkins.fromseat...@my-upstream-android.mirror.com):
 Connection refused
Control socket 
connect(/tmp/ssh-ujjH6W/master-jenkins.fromseat...@my-upstream-android.mirror.com):
 Connection refused
...etc...

This error message was hard to diagnose and find.  I had to know to look
for LXC Unix Sockets, specifically leaving out the terms Android,
repo, ssh, etc. Even then it was the fifth Google result down.

[Bug 903422] Re: Ubuntu does not work with Samsung Galaxy phones (Unable to open raw device 0)

2013-05-22 Thread Derek Simkowiak
There was recently a change to the adb tool. It now does authentication;
the user is prompted to allow a new computer when the phone is
connected to it. The old adb is not compatible.

This change is probably why it fails, even though MTP on the Samsung
Galaxy Nexus previously worked.

I used the new adb (with the authentication) to manually push files.
That worked fine. Trying the other forum posts (like changing the udev
rules) did not work for me.

It was very aggravating to get the cool new phone (Nexus 4) and then not
be able to transfer files to it.

[Bug 221363] Re: Policy Kit Unlock Buttons Greyed Out when using NX / VNC / LTSP

2011-09-12 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Milan said in #62: Have a look at files in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/
and try to guess what are the files you need to edit. Then it's probably
useful to file bugs so that it's fixed upstream, if applicable.


What are the criteria to know what files need to be edited?  I saw 
org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy and gdm.policy mentioned above.   
Are those the only two?

Would it be more correct to replace every allow_active with
allow_any in 100% of those files?  There are 25 files that say
allow_active in them.

I want to help fix this bug, which means filing a bug report for every
package that needs a revised policy file, like gdm and system-tools-
backends:

root@cst8:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions# dpkg -S gdm.policy 
gdm: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/gdm.policy
root@cst8:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions# dpkg -S 
org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy
system-tools-backends: 
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy
root@cst8:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions#

I just don't understand what criteria to use to know which other
packages should have a bug filed.

[Bug 846808] Re: PolicyKit button doesn't allow authenticating

2011-09-11 Thread Derek Simkowiak
First: I did not see Authentication agent listed when I ran gnome-
session-properties on my 11.04 server.  I did not see it on my Ubuntu
10.04 workstation, either.  Not sure what's up with that.

However, you did identify the root of the problem.  I did not mention
that I am using VNC.  When I log in locally (with a physical keyboard
and monitor), then I am able to Click to make changes and change my
hostname.

When I log in using a physical keyboard, it looks like this when I run
who (my username is ubuntu):

  ubuntu   tty8 2011-09-11 18:33 (:0)

But when I log in with VNC, it looks like this:

  ubuntu2011-09-11 18:32 (127.0.0.1:1)

I am guessing the difference between (:0) and (127.0.0.1:1) is why my
VNC session is not authorized to make changes.  So I am marking this bug
as invalid.

Thank you for your help. I'm off to read the PolicyKit documentation
now... but if you could give me a hint as to where I need to add
127.0.0.1:1 it would be much appreciated :)

[Bug 846808] [NEW] gnome-network-admin menu entry does not use gksu

2011-09-10 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Public bug reported:

I want a desktop GUI method to change my hostname.  So I apt-get install
gnome-network-admin.

But now when I go to System  Administration  Network, the program
network-admin says Not authorized to make changes.  I must manually
launch a shell and run gksu network-admin.  (This is using the admin
account created during install, which is a member of the admin and adm
groups.)

It should just prompt me for my password.  I see no way to edit the
system hostname without going to a shell.

[Bug 699802] Re: error:: no video mode activated

2011-09-07 Thread Derek Simkowiak
#24 fixed it for me in 11.04 (with encrypted root and swap and separate,
unencrypted boot partition).

(Although, now I have a new problem: my cheap LCD monitor can't
recognize the resolution requested by the GRUB screen.  Ugh!)

So, this is verified as a font path issue.  I have to say, this bug is a
real stinker.  It demonstrates that a new Ubuntu was released and nobody
bothered to even try full-disk encryption before releasing it...?

Does anybody else miss LILO?  I've had more GRUB problems in the past 4
years than in the previous 10 years with LILO!  HEY GRUB TEAM, STOP
BREAKING GRUB.

Sorry, had to vent.  An entire product release was delayed due to this
stinker.

[Bug 699802] Re: error:: no video mode activated

2011-09-07 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Comment #24 seems like a viable workaround for some, but not for me.

After copying the fonts as per Comment #24, GRUB is now displaying at an
insane resolution of something like 2000x2000 px at the boot screen and
also when I get to a textmode shell.  My cheap LCD won't show anything
at all, and my fancy LCD can only display the top half of the screen.

I mention it here only because it seems related to GRUB not setting the
video mode correctly.  First, due to missing fonts (as per Comment #24),
and now, due to who-knows-why.

This is on an integrated NVidia G-Force chipset.  Everything worked fine
under 10.4.

Manually editing the D shortcut doesn't fully fix the problem.

[Bug 584048] Re: kvm images losing connectivity w/bridged network

2011-04-10 Thread Derek Simkowiak
I have the same 4-second bridge freeze when using LXC containers and
lxc-start or lxc-stop.  (I am using a custom script to create my LXC
containers.)  I saw the reference to this above:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-July/msg00450.html

I changed my custom script from this:

MACADDR=00:16:3e:`head /dev/urandom | md5sum | sed -r
's/^(.{6}).*$/\1/; s/([0-9a-f]{2})/\1:/g; s/:$//;'`

...to this:

MACADDR=fe:16:3e:`head /dev/urandom | md5sum | sed -r
's/^(.{6}).*$/\1/; s/([0-9a-f]{2})/\1:/g; s/:$//;'`

...and now the freezing is gone.

Since this is my own custom script, I'm not sure what package it would
belong to.  Just be aware that this is a fundamental bridge issue and
not limited to libvirt, KVM.  It shows up with LXC and probably any
other system where you add a new MAC.

[Bug 673705] Re: running guests freeze when a guest is powered down

2011-04-10 Thread Derek Simkowiak
This bug is probably a duplicate issue as this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/584048

The problem is with Linux bridging.  When adding or removing a MAC
address (like for KVM, VirtualBox, or even LXC) then if the bridge
changes its MAC, this symptom happens.  See comment #60 at the URL
above, and also see this:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-July/msg00450.html

The workaround is to use a MAC address that starts with fe (or any
high really high number) for your guests.  This causes the kernel to
default to the hardware MAC for the bridge.

The other UFW is default.  I have two bridges, br0 and br1.  The one I'm
playing with, br0, is DHCP (not that it matters).

Any other solutions?  I've looked at my rules with iptables -L but I
don't see anything weird.

This is not specific to KVM or libvirt, I don't think.  I've taken KVM
out of the picture.  Any help is appreciated.

[Bug 711501] Re: ASUS Eee PC 1015PE Suspend, Hibernate, and Shutdown freezes

2011-02-02 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Sometimes a shutdown works correctly (it worked correctly on one of my
last four shutdowns).  Reboot usually works but sometimes causes a
freeze (it froze one of my last four reboots).  The suspend and
hibernate freeze are broken 100% of the time, and cause a freeze with
a stuck mouse cursor and the last image on the screen..

Hibernate seems to flush RAM to disk successfully, but the LCD screen
and computer never power off.

Various ASUS computers and motherboard have had problems with suspend
before.  I tried all the known solutions I could find but none were
successful.

I disabled my internal USB controller in my BIOS.  Results were the
same.

I tried unbinding my EHCI devices using a custom script in 
/etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd as described here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9261807

I did not have the xhci module, but I tried unload the ahci module in a
custom /etc/pm/config.d/usb3-suspend-workaround in the URL above.
Didn't help.  I then put all the USB modules (rt2x00usb and all other
rt2?00* modules) and the mac80211 module in there, with the same
results.

I tried using the GRUB option acpi_sleep=old_ordering in /etc/default/grub on 
the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, as described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/347150

That didn't help either.  (I did remember to run update-grub.)

Apparently suspend and resume is an issue that lots of people are having 
problems with in 10.10.  Here is a forum with fourteen pages and many 
unresolved suspend issues in 10.10:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1596545page=14

I tried all the suggestions I found there.  I installed the 10.10
hibernate package, but that did not change anything.  I put the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=acpi_sleep=nonvs in my /etc/default/grub config
file, ran update-grub, and got the same result.  I tried unloading
various modules at suspend, looking for a culprit.  No dice.

I tried upgrading to a PPA kernel 2.6.36-020636, as one of the posters 
suggested.  At least two other posters reported success.  I followed this:
http://www.ramoonus.nl/2010/10/linux-kernel-2-6-36-installation-guide-ubuntu-linux/

...but alas, that too did not work for me.

I tried the older kernel 2.6.35-22 that came with the 10.10 CD but got
the same results.  One guy said that worked for him.

I tried upgrading to  2.6.37-rc2 from the PPA.  Same results.

I will now try downgrading to Ubuntu 10.04, to see if that works.  Some
people reported that 10.04 worked for them but 10.10 does not.

This reminds of the v9.10 upgrade that broke lots of peoples' WiFi...

I attempted an install of 10.04 from CD-ROM and it failed.  First I got
No network interfaces detected, then near the end of the install the
package linux-image failed.  There was no reason given at ALT-F4; it
just showed an error and would not let the install continue.

(I think my hardware is fine because everything works under Windows and

[Bug 711501] [NEW] ASUS Eee PC 1015PE Suspend and Shutdown freezes

2011-02-01 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kernel-package

I have an ASUS Eee PC 1015PE with Ubuntu 10.10.  If I try to suspend or
shutdown, it freezes.  The screen locks up, the mouse cursor does not
move, and I am forced to hold the power button for 3 seconds to get it
to do a hard reboot.

This happens even if I choose Suspend from the GDM login menu.  So
this is not a Compiz (or probably even X) issue.  I also get it if I
shut the laptop lid (which would trigger a suspend).  At least one other
user reported this problem in the forums:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1661070

Before I bought this computer I read articles saying that everything in
Ubuntu 10.10 worked well.  For example:

http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2010-08/27-asus_eeepc_1015pe

So perhaps a recent kernel update broke suspend on this laptop.
Everything else works great using the stock kernel, incl. Compiz,
touchpad multitouch, and wireless.  I did not apply any of the special
packages mentioned in the article above.

I updated my BIOS to the latest available from ASUS, version 0801.
(Also, my model has no Bluetooth, but some of the articles I read
implied that the 1015PE does have Bluetooth.  Not sure if that matters.)

I consider this a critical bug because I cannot use this netbook in the
real world.  Everytime I shut the lid to move it, I might lose data!  I
already have a workstation that is anchored to my desk.  I bought this
thing to be mobile.

[Bug 578930] Re: qemu-kvm: ksmd should have a less CPU-hogging default config

2010-12-31 Thread Derek Simkowiak
I'm getting burned by this too, and I disagree with Mr. Kirkland's
assertion that Ubuntu should just use the upstream default.

There are many, many Ubuntu packages which alter the upstream default
to make Ubuntu a more user-friendly experience.  One could even argue
that Ubuntu's best feature is that it changes the upstream defaults of
the world to be something that actually works for human beings.

Please, set this to a reasonable value (200ms?).  As has been pointed
out, the upsteam default is not even considered a reasonable value by
the upstream maintainers.

Ethically speaking, this bug is causing more CPU power consumption (and
thus, global warming) for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

that Ubuntu's best feature is that it changes the upstream defaults of
the world to be something that actually works for human beings.

Please, set this to a reasonable value (200ms?).  As has been pointed
out, the upsteam default is not even considered a reasonable value by
the upstream maintainers.

Ethically speaking, this bug is causing more CPU power consumption (and
thus, global warming) for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Dear maintainers,

It's been 8 months now.  Why do you torture us so?  This bug isn't even
a real bug... it's just that you guys haven't updated the repo with the
right package.

Please... fix it.

The recompile worked for me too.

apt-get build-dep asterisk-mysql
apt-get -b source asterisk-mysql
dpkg -i asterisk-mysql_1.6.2.0-1_i386.deb

Note, the Asterisk MySQL module is not the only one with this problem.

2010-12-09 Thread Derek Simkowiak
I just did an apt-get update and thus found the new
asterisk_1.6.2.5-0ubuntu1.1 series of packages.

The compile-time options as this version of Asterisk messages are now
all gone.  (However, there are still some remaining undefined symbol
errors in the log file.  But that seems to be a completely different
issue.)

This bug is fixed thanks to the new packages.

2010-12-09 Thread Derek Simkowiak
[THIS BUG IS NOT FIXED]

I spoke too soon.  A fresh 10.4 VM, with the latest asterisk packages,
produces the same errors.

The asterisk-mysql package is still stuck at version asterisk-
mysql_1.6.2.0-1_i386.deb so the re-compile is still necessary.

apt-get build-dep asterisk-mysql
apt-get -b source asterisk-mysql
dpkg -i asterisk-mysql_1.6.2.0-1_i386.deb

I also did this to get rid of some other complaints:

apt-get build-dep asterisk-addons
apt-get -b source asterisk-addons
dpkg -i asterisk-mobile_1.6.2.0-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i asterisk-mp3_1.6.2.0-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i asterisk-ooh323c_1.6.2.0-1_i386.deb


So even though there's new asterisk packages, these modules got left behind.


[EDIT: I am unable to put the bug back to Confirmed from Fix released.  I 
did not know that was a one-way operation.  A moderator needs to set the status

[Bug 587079] [NEW] init: Failed to spawn rc-sysinit main porcess: Unable to open console: Input/Output error.

2010-05-28 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upstart

I have an Ubuntu 10.04 KVM virtual machine set to launch automatically
at boot (using option: autostart).

When my host computer boots up, the virtual machine launch fails.  It
freezes at boot, with this error message (right after the root disk
fsck):

init: Failed to spawn rc-sysinit main process: Unable to open console:
Input/output error.

(That is the message on the autostarted virtual machine.  The host
computer works fine.)

The problem is intermittent.  It has happened once in the last 5
reboots.

I believe this bug may be related to bug #543506, because users are
seeing that same error text in their system logs.  But in this case, the
virtual machine won't boot up at all.

Another user reported this bug on real, physical hardware (not a virtual 
machine):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1495569

Thus, I do not think the problem has anything to do with virtualization,
or with hardware.

My virtual machine is a JeOS install with a LAMP stack.  There is no GUI
desktop, just a text-mode login console shell.  The video card is an
emulated cirrus card.

This issue might be the same issue in Question #109171:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/109171

(I don't read Spanish, but that thread references using a quiet splash
option that was also listed in bug #543506.  I don't know what to do
with that option, or if that is a confirmed workaround.)

[Bug 420190] Re: VBoxHeadless has no way of accessing graphical console

2010-05-20 Thread Derek Simkowiak
I second the request.  FreeBSD already has a package for this called
virtualbox-ose-vnc:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-
emulation/2010-January/007360.html

In my case, I have some server VMs that use full-disk encryption.  I
can't use them in VirtualBox OSE, because the headless mode never gives
me a chance to enter in the dm-crypt passphrase at boot time (before the
OS boots up... before SSH).

Using KVM virtualization, I can enter the passphrase using the VNC
graphics.  (But VirtualBox has a more complete GUI than virt-manager and
does not require configuring a bridge on the host system, so I'd like to
use it if it were possible.)

[Bug 551655] Re: open-whois.org is cybersquatted and its rules should be removed from Spamassassin

2010-04-19 Thread Derek Simkowiak
If I understood Mathias' comment, he just wants somebody to do steps one
and two of the update procedure to justify backporting this bug.

So, here goes:

Step 1: The bug is fixed in the latest branch, and it is flagged fixed
released (as per above).  Done.

Step 2: I am updating the bug description with the required information
below.

Step 2.1: The impact is that users of 8.04 are getting false positives
from SpamAssassin.  I'm seeing it on an eBox system (eBox is an email
system based on Ubuntu that includes SpamAssassin).

Step 2.2: The bug was addressed as per this bug report.  (See above.)

Step 2.3: Patch: I don't have one, sorry.  The patch is just to remove
all the open-whois.org from /usr/share/spamassassin/72_active.cf ; the
patch used above should suffice.

Step 2.4: To repro the bug: let SpamAssassin filter a mail and flag it
(as per defaults).  You'll see a header like:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=2.431 required=5
tests=[DNS_FROM_OPENWHOIS=2.431]

Once the fix is in place the DNS_FROM_OPENWHOIS rule (and all other
open-whois.org rules) should be gone.


Step 2.5: I don't see how a regression could inadvertently be affected.  The 
open-whois.org service is dead, the domain has been taken by a squatter, and 
100% of all SpamAssassin installs should have these rules removed.


I hope the lack of a patch won't prevent this from getting backported.  I'm 
as excited about 10.4 as anyone, but I won't be upgrading my email systems for 
several weeks or months.  (The OpenLDAP upgrade is broken, due to cn=config and 
bugs like #364531, so moving from 8.04 to 10.4 for my email systems will be a 
huge investment of time.)


Thank You,
Derek Simkowiak

Comment #46 worked for me too.  Thanks Locque.

This problem appeared out of nowhere on my laptop.  I recently installed
Webcamstudio and xawtv.  I also recently plugged in a couple of
different USB webcams: Logitech and Kensinton.

Perhaps the USB webcams triggered a problem, because I was using my
third USB jack and usb3 shares an IRQ with HDA Intel, my sound chip:

der...@dereks-laptop:~$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep Intel

Same thing here on Ubuntu 9.10.

Unfortunately, that thread ends with I am looking at fixing this now and

In my opinion this is an important bug.  One of the major reasons for

this bug breaks that completely.

[Bug 253937] Re: Local login fails without LDAP server

2010-02-04 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Same thing here on Ubuntu 9.10.

Here is a (possibly) relevant nss_ldap thread:

http://old.nabble.com/No-timeout-for-nss_ldap--td14576190.html

Unfortunately, that thread ends with I am looking at fixing this now and 
providing some time outs on the soft
path as well. Will keep you informed.  That was back in 2008.

In my opinion this is an important bug.  One of the major reasons for
using LDAP+nss is for high availability in corporate networks... and
this bug breaks that completely.

[Bug 197499] Re: Warning when exported path contains spaces

2010-01-03 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Steve Langasek's result is confirmed.

In /etc/exports on the NFS server, I used double quotes to enclose a
path with a space.  When I ran exportfs -ra, I got the error,
Warning: export point does not support NFS export.

Then on the NFS client, I created an /etc/fstab entry where I replaced
the space character   with \040.  It works as expected (and no error
is printed out).


Incidentally, finding out how to use double-quotes in /etc/exports was hard.  
Several forums exist where people falsely state 'spaces don't work at all with 
NFS'.  And finding out to use \040 in /etc/fstab was hard too... I only decided 
to try that after somebody posted how to do that with a non-NFS mount point.

[Bug 154550] Re: [intrepid jaunty] installation freezes on scanning the mirror

2009-12-28 Thread Derek Simkowiak
I am seeing the same thing, running Ubuntu 8.04.3 Jeos using KVM
virtualization.  It eats up 100% CPU, however I can hit ALT-F2 to get to
a terminal.

But searching with Google for scanning the mirror shows there are
others having this problem on non-Virtual machines.

Some have reported success by unplugging the NIC cable, or, by manually
fixing a DNS entry before starting the install.  I'm getting this error,
but the shell at ALT-F2 still lets me ping sites like Google and Yahoo.
So, my network works for pings, but there is still some problem at the
scanning the mirror phase.

So, in summary:

- Affects the default text editor
- Open for 3.5 years now (!!!)
- Over 100 comments...
- Gedit blames CIFS.  CIFS (and VirtualBox) blames Gedit.  From virtualbox.org:

Q: I get an error Unexpected error: Text file busy. when trying to edit a 
file.
A: When using gedit, this can happen on shared folders. This is a bug in 
gedit, not VB. Use a different editor.


I'm working in a Big Organization with a CIO who's a Windows Lover.  I've 
used virtualization to get around SafeBoot and other Windows-only garbage.  I 
now have access to all the tools I know and love... *except* the text editor.  
Ye gods!

   Don't you want Ubuntu to integrate smoothly into a Windows-centric
environment?  See Bug #1.

   I agree with the many others who are stuck with this problem.  This

[Bug 365295] Re: build with module-assistant fails

2009-06-26 Thread Derek Simkowiak
It can't find config.sub.  It's trying to run config.sub from the
directory ./, which is /usr/src/modules/comedi/:

r...@laptop:/usr/src/modules/comedi# cat config.log | grep config.sub
configure:1817: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

It is trying to use ./ because that was the dir assigned to the
./configure var ac_aux_dir, on ./configure line 1784.  It makes that
assignment because it finds install-sh in the dir ./.  I consider this
to be a bug in the GNU ./configure script, because testing for the
existence of install-sh does not imply the existence of config.sub.
There should be a separate test for the existence of config.sub.

Note that config.sub shows up several times on my hard drive, both in
system locations and in GNU source code tarballs.  System locations are:

/usr/share/automake-1.7/config.sub
/usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub
/usr/share/misc/config.sub

Those are all identical files (I diff'd them.)

I added config.sub to the comedi.tar.bz2 that came with the package and
retried.  Unfortunately, that failed to fix it because the file
config.sub gets deleted during the build process.  I watched the
config.sub appear when my new bz2 was unpacked, and then watched it get
deleted during the build.

I believe that it gets deleted in Makefile.in, during a call to
am__remove_distdir, because config.sub appears in the variable
DIST_COMMON.

I haven't found an easy workaround yet.

[Bug 228015] Re: asterisk 1.4.17~dfsg-2ubuntu1 not starting on current hardy

2009-03-01 Thread Derek Simkowiak
It looks like this is not a problem with the DEB package.  I did another
install today and noticed the lines were already in there.

They get lost when I run ./install_amp from the FreePBX project.
./install_amp is overwriting modules.conf without making a backup of it.
That's confusing because FreePBX does make several *.bak files in
/etc/asterisk/.

I think making a backup of your modules.conf before running
./install_amp is the best technique to avoid.  But the safe_asterisk
problem is still outstanding...

[Bug 228015] Re: asterisk 1.4.17~dfsg-2ubuntu1 not starting on current hardy

2009-02-22 Thread Derek Simkowiak
The fix from everflux worked for me:

; These conflict with app_voicemail.so/app_directory.so and each other
; These are for IMAP and ODBC storage for Voicemail
noload = app_directory_odbc.so
noload = app_voicemail_odbc.so
noload = app_voicemail_imap.so

So basically the DEB ships with a broken default config.  In the full
log, some WARNINGs are harmless, but others (like the Already have an
application WARNINGs) imply a fatal condition -- but a new Asterisk
user would have no way to know this.  In short, please fix the default
config in the package.

Also, there is a problem with the safe_asterisk script in the package.
It requires bash, not dash.  One workaround is this:

ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh

But it would be better to have safe_asterisk use #!/bin/bash at the top.

[Bug 236510] Re: default apparmor setting prevents bind from running under chroot

2009-02-10 Thread Derek Simkowiak
The quote from Falko Timme that was referenced earlier is this:

Falco Timme In my opinion you don't need it [AppArmor] to configure a
secure system, and it usually causes more problems than advantages
(think of it after you have done a week of trouble-shooting because some
service wasn't working as expected, and then you find out that
everything was ok, only AppArmor was causing the problem).

I'm a sysadmin and I agree with him 100%.

To Juergen, who said Ah, come on, it's not that hard to configure
apparmor..., I'd like to point out that your post suggests that all
Ubuntu Server users should be forced to fully understand all of:

sys_chroot
aa-logprof
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named
aa-complain
aa-enforce
/etc/apparmor.d/force-complain (and the enforce flag)

As a sysadmin who actually has to meet production schedules, if I'm
given the two options:

a) Learn some big, complicated security system that some dude at Canonical 
thinks is really great
-vs-
b) /etc/init.d/apparmor stop

...which do you think I'll choose?

I also find it ironic that AppArmor -- a supposed security layer -- is
preventing him from running bind in a chroot, which is a long-
established security practice.

[Bug 318577] [NEW] rsnapshot conf file broken in new 8.10 package

2009-01-18 Thread Derek Simkowiak
Public bug reported:

Between Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 the rsnapshot package was updated.  The new
version has a couple of problems in the default /etc/rsnapshot.conf file
included in the package.  These problems did not exist in 8.04.

The following configuration options are all located in
/etc/rsnapshot.conf.

Problem 1: snapshot_root is wrong

In 8.04, the top-level destination dir snapshot_root is there and is configured 
correctly: 
der...@dev:~$ cat /etc/rsnapshot.conf | grep snapshot_root | head -1
snapshot_root /var/cache/rsnapshot/
der...@dev:~$ ls -lad /var/cache/rsnapshot
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-06-21 23:46 /var/cache/rsnapshot
der...@dev:~$ 

Note, the value for snapshot_root is /var/cache/rsnapshot, which is
correct.  That dir is created by the DEB at install time, and it's owned
by user root.

In 8.10, this is now /.snapshots/, which does not exist, and which is
not created by the DEB:

r...@ubuntu:/etc# cat /etc/rsnapshot.conf | grep snapshot_root | head -1
snapshot_root   /.snapshots/
r...@ubuntu:/etc# ls -lad /.snapshots
ls: cannot access /.snapshots: No such file or directory
r...@ubuntu:/etc# ls -lad /var/cache/rsnapshot
drwx-- 2 root root 4096 2008-05-06 07:36 /var/cache/rsnapshot
r...@ubuntu:/etc# 

Note that the wrong value /.snapshots does not exist on the
filesystem.  If Ubuntu wants to change the default from
/var/cache/rsnapshot to /.snapshots then the package should create that
dir at install time and no longer create /var/cache/rsnapshot.  As an
Ubuntu rsnapshot user, my preference would be to just revert the default
config file back to the way it was in 8.04.

Problem 2: The intervals are uncommented (danger!)

In 8.04, the cron job interval definitions were all commented out by
default:

der...@dev:~$ cat /etc/rsnapshot.conf | grep #interval
#interval   hourly  6
#interval   daily   7
#interval   weekly  4
#interval   monthly 6
der...@dev:~$ 

The leading # is a comment, like Python/Bash/etc.  This had the effect
that the user was forced to edit the config file and define the
intervals that he wanted.

In 8.10, the intervals are uncommented:

r...@ubuntu:/etc# cat /etc/rsnapshot.conf | grep ^interval
intervalhourly  6
intervaldaily   7
intervalweekly  4
r...@ubuntu:/etc# 

This means simply running rsnapshot after an install (without
customizing the config file) will cause rsnapshot to backup the local
directories /home/, /etc/, and /usr/local/, because those local backup
targets are defined (by default) at the end of the config file.  In my
opinion that is dangerous.

I use rsnapshot to do networked-based backups across an SSH tunnel.
We're talking terabytes of data.  If I did an rsnapshot install and it
backed up my /home/ dir to the local dir /.snapshots/ I would
immediately run out of disk space.

Since rsnapshot is a backup program providing networked backups with
incremental file changes, I think the user should be forced to define
his preferred backup targets and intervals.  Presuming /home/ (or any
other dir) is the target to be backed up is a Bad Idea.  I'm a huge fan
of It Just Works (and I'm a total Ubuntu fanboy) but in this case I
think the user should be forced to intervene and hand-edit the config
file -- which is exactly how 8.04 worked.

Extra Question: Is it possible to add regression tests to the package
build process, to prove these problems are not re-introduced again in
9.04 (and upwards)?
