[Bug 1652646] [NEW] Xorg freeze
Public bug reported: Playing video, e.g. in vlc or chrome causes the whole machine to hang after 5-10m of video playing.

Re: [Bug 575091] Re: python pymtp crashes with segfault
FYI, this approach to C extensions is extremely brittle. While I was happy that pymtp existed, it can be broken again at any time by the addition or reordering of fields in the C library. If this is to be a supported module then the packager of libmtp will have to be involved in order to ensure that changes in libmtp also result in changes to pymtp. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575091 Title: python pymtp crashes with segfault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymtp/+bug/575091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 575091] Re: python pymtp crashes with segfault
It seems the python code is out of sync with the C code. In particular, there are fields missing from the python struct definitions with the result that the next field is often incorrect, leading to following a bad pointer (not a pointer at all actually). I've attached a patch that adds the missing modificationdate field to 2 of the structs. I don't know if this fixes everything but it certainly turns python -c 'import pymtp;m=pymtp.MTP();m.connect();print m.get_filelisting(); m.disconnect()' into something that doesn't segfault anymore. It also makes deviceinfo execute to completion too. -- python pymtp crashes with segfault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575091 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

By the way, I had a look at your list of packages that do similar things. Most are not installed on my machine so I installed portmap. It's initscript always obeys a start command, there's no if $START_DAEMON. Some others _do_ do what you say. I'm not sure how you came up with that list of packages. Just because there are other scripts out that don't follow the standard doesn't make it right.

too lazy or stupid to read the initscript I was neither too stupid nor too lazy to read it. The point is that I *should not have to*. Luckily enough I was able to figure this out.

He does not wish to have to relearn that which he has learned already, and would rather continue using the tools that he is used to and only learn the newer ones when necessary. --- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReplacementInit Also, I'm not saying initscripts should ignore /etc/default, I'm saying that there should not be a don't start the daemon switch in /etc/default. The correct way to not start a daemon is to not invoke its initscript! As for precedents, a quick poke around in my /etc/init.d turns up no other examples of conditional startup installed at the moment. So I would argue that what you call precedents are bugs too. I agree with you that the current version does not belong in /etc/init.d but rather than just moving it somewhere else, it should be fixed to work like a standard initscript and if you really want a script with the current behaviour that's fine too, just put it somehwere else. -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon is useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/56426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In fact update-rc.d should just work whether the system actually uses rcX.d or something else. If you want to stick with enable_avahi then I suggest you have it make/remove symlinks instead of sedding /etc/default/avahi-daemon. If you want to have it turned off by defualt then at install you just don't make the link in the dbus directory. I think that leaves everyone with things working as they'd expect them but you still have the ability to enable/disable the boot behaviour and leave it off by default. -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything https://launchpad.net/bugs/65587 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 65587] Re: /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything
I have avahi daemon installed but it's isn't mentioned in /etc/rc?.d and I can't find anything in /etc that wants to invoke it. I presume this is all related to upstart but I don't really know what's going on. By all means have a script for controlling the daemon however you like but you shouldn't break the long-established semantics of /etc/init. Is there a thread somewhere that explains why this isn't controlled via /usr/sbin/update-rc.d, like every other daemon? -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything https://launchpad.net/bugs/65587 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 65587] Re: /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything
My point is that this is the only initscript in the world which has a don't forget to tweak the obscure ACTUALLY_DO_WHAT_I_SAY setting warning to it. Worse still, it doesn't even have the warning _attached_ to it, you have to find out by debugging the initscript. I doubt I'm the only person who's going to be confused by this. Everyone will assume that making a link to rcX.d will turn avahi on at startup, not having a link will leave it turned off. Can you explain why that was not acceptable? Why does avahi-daemon need to do it differently? -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything https://launchpad.net/bugs/65587 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 65587] Re: /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything
Surprisingly there are others too - bootlogd and tomcat for example but that doesn't make it right. I found the following [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/dbus-1/event.d ls -l total 8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1901 2006-09-20 14:15 20hal lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2006-09-28 17:52 25avahi-daemon - ../../init.d/avahi-daemon -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1783 2006-09-08 12:52 70system-tools-backends and by removing that link I was able to prevent avahi coming up at boot time. So upstart is configured in basically the same way as the rcX.d system. Again, why is this necessary? With upstart you configure boot-time services with symlinks, just like the old system but in a different place. So why not do that? Here's another point, any service that behaves like this cannot be run just for the current session. You have to flip the config file, run the initscript and remember to flip the config file back again and tough luck if the service locks your machine up and you didn't get a chance to flip it off before it reboots and locks up again. This is not progress. If you're being advised that this is now the right way to do things I'd be happy to take this up with whoever is saying that. -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything https://launchpad.net/bugs/65587 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 65587] Re: /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything
One other thing, in relation to the other bug you mention. Initscripts should _need_ to print things out or test for interactivity. They should just do what they've always done and start/stop services. If it's correct to add this code to avahi's initscript then it should really be added to every other one too. -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything https://launchpad.net/bugs/65587 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 65587] /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything
Public bug reported: If I install avahi-daemon and then do /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start the daemon should start. Instead I have to change /etc/default/avahi- daemon so that it doesn't set AVAHI_DAEMON_START=0. This setup doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Is there some scenario in which I would invoke the initscript but want it to do nothing? I suggest removing this file (or leaving it empty) and also removing /usr/share/avahi/enable_avahi which is just a script to toggle this variable. ** Affects: avahi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start doesn't start anything https://launchpad.net/bugs/65587 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Exactly the same for me. I have to use -vo x11 with mplayer to get sane playback.
