[Bug 2041751] Re: RM: Remove dangerously insecure MPPE PPTP from Ubuntu

2024-04-26 Thread James Cameron
I'm upstream.  I saw the removal first in the release notes.  Yet I'm
not surprised by removal.  The contributions to pptp and pptpd have
declined, so the release cadence has slowed as well (1.4.0 in 2013, but
a few commits in git since).  Number of people asking for help has also
declined.  Some countries or corporations still require it, presumably
because it is so easily monitored.

Using pptpd on Ubuntu will be more difficult because of removal from
Ubuntu, but that's just a security by obscurity; very easily bypassed by
installing the software yourself.  Thanks for holding on so long.

Re: [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

2018-03-18 Thread James Cameron
Thanks for the offer.  Sorry, I don't have a backport of my patch for
abiword 3.0.1, and haven't estimated the effort.  Would you consider
moving Xenial to abiword 3.0.2?

At One Laptop per Child for our derivative build of Ubuntu with the
Sugar desktop, we've worked around the flickering by setting
GTK_THEME to adwaita in the package sugar-write-activity.  This
perturbs the timing just enough to prevent the problem on our
supported hardware.

For our upcoming Bionic build, the abiword 3.0.2-6 package doesn't
show the problem.

Any chance of a fix in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial?

As a derivative, I'm carrying a custom package, which is fine
technically, but is hard to explain.

Ubuntu 18.04 beta is unaffected.

[Bug 1622293] Re: rtl8821ae WiFI does not work

2017-10-02 Thread James Cameron
Summary; my own rtl8821ae frequent connection lost problem was fixed by
upstream patch b8b8b16352cd ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost
problem") merged for 4.14-rc4.

I've recently fixed a problem very much like the problems reported in
this bug.  In particular the loss of WiFi scan results, and the
connection loss on a burst of download data.  Workaround was to turn
wireless off then on again (using rfkill), or reboot.  What I did was

(a) test several ubuntu kernels to find which ones were affected,

(b) using git bisect, tested several custom kernels, and proved my
problem began with a single commit 40b368af4b75 ("rtlwifi: Fix alignment
issues"),

(c) worked with upstream to determine a likely cause; the commit wasn't
widely tested,

(d) proved through testing that the BIOS can have an effect; because the
rtl8821ae driver does not reset the card, but inherits the card in
whatever state the BIOS left it.  This can randomise problem reports.

(e) proved that a power down and reboot can have a different effect to a
warm reboot; some of the wireless card device registers are unchanged on
warm reboot.  This can randomise problem reports.

Hope that helps.

2017-10-02 Thread James Cameron
Summary; my own rtl8821ae frequent connection lost problem was fixed by
upstream patch b8b8b16352cd ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost
problem") merged for 4.14-rc4.

I've recently fixed a problem very much like the problems reported in
this bug; and during my tests I saw the cycling ping times, the delay
unloading the module, and the no buffer space, all of which suggested a
firmware hang in the wireless device.

My main problem was that connection was lost shortly after it was made,
and especially if there was a burst of download data.  Workaround was to
turn wireless off then on again, or reboot.

What I did was

(a) test several ubuntu kernels to find which ones were affected,

(b) using git bisect, tested several custom kernels, and proved my
problem began with a single commit 40b368af4b75 ("rtlwifi: Fix alignment

2017-10-02 Thread James Cameron
This bug should close because the configuration has been disassembled,
we can hardly expect hotellina to change the wireless card back to what
it was just so that the bug can be solved.  ;-)

However, several of the problems in this bug were fixed by upstream
patches, in particular b8b8b16352cd ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection
lost problem") merged for 4.14-rc4.

I now have rtl8821ae working well.  It was terrible for a while.  What I
did was

(a) test several ubuntu kernels to find which ones were affected,

(b) using git bisect, tested several custom kernels, and proved my
problem began with a single commit 40b368af4b75 ("rtlwifi: Fix alignment

[Bug 1707185] Re: I wish “Firmware Package” had the RTL8821AE wireless network adaptor driver.

2017-10-02 Thread James Cameron
Dave, Lwfinger is Larry Finger, the maintainer of the rtl8821ae driver
already in Ubuntu 16.04.  When you used his GitHub driver, you had
undone a change by Realtek, and that's why it worked.  The Realtek
change was 40b368af4b75 ("rtlwifi: Fix alignment issues") and caused the
connection loss.

Larry Finger and I have worked on the connection loss in the past few
weeks.  Linux kernel v4.14 when it is released should contain a fix
b8b8b16352cd ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem").  But
there's nothing wrong with continuing with the GitHub driver if it is
working fine for you.

Martin, package linux-firmware-1.168 and earlier versions have the
rtl8821ae firmware for the wireless network adapter.  So I don't think
this bug should "affects" linux-firmware or linux-firmware-nonfree.

[Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

2017-09-24 Thread James Cameron
Sorry Simon, I had already tested my patch with my own local package, I
didn't think you'd need me to test your package of it, and I'm hoping to
hear if anybody else has tested it.  ;-)

On a 17.10 Artful VM with Sugar, the Sugar desktop does not appear, some
other problem, so I'm not able to test there yet.

On a 17.04 Zesty VM with Sugar, installed your
libabiword-3.0_3.0.2-3ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb and the flickering problem
has gone.  So your package works for me there.

Any chance of a 16.04 Xenial update?  A "gir1.2-abi-3.0 breaks
gir1.2-abiword-3.0" problem occurs, easily explained.

[Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

2017-09-24 Thread James Cameron
Thanks for the bump, I'd forgotten to update this bug.

I found the cause of the problem and fixed it for systems using Xorg.
It was a race condition, and is affected by speed of computer, speed of
graphics, other processes, and theme drawing.  That's why it may not
happen for some people.  You can find my patch in the upstream bug
report https://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13791 and my
summary at Sugar Labs https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915

I'll be shipping the fix on the laptops we make at One Laptop per Child.

However, my fix was not tested on Wayland and caused AbiWord to fail
differently under Wayland, and upstream (correctly) refused to accept
the patch as is, and nobody seems to have done anything since.

I'm not using Wayland, and I'm not paid to support Wayland, so I'm
unable to easily work further on the problem.

But if any of you really need it to work using Xorg (e.g. Lubuntu), my
patch should be fine, and I'm happy to explain what the problem was in
detail.

Upstream would obviously benefit from someone who can program C++ with
GTK+ on both Xorg and Wayland.  If this is you, please offer to help
them.  It has been almost two years since this problem first began, and
it is slowly but surely destroying the usability of AbiWord.  Sad to see
the old girl go.

G'day Brian. Good to hear. For local testing, the signing can be
ignored; there's an option to skip it. The warnings sound familiar,
but are normal. For me, the patch did fix the flickering of the whole
screen, but did not fix the flickering cursor. Guess next steps
upstream involve reproducing and debugging in depth to find out why
the flickering happens.

2017-05-05 Thread James Cameron
G'day Brian.  The patch command automatically applies a patch to a set
of files.  The particular patch has a sacrificial path element so the
--strip 1 option should be used.  The --dry-run option is also useful
for testing.  So it would be "patch --strip 1 --dry-run < file.patch",
where file.patch is what was downloaded from the upstream bug report.
If that works, repeat again without the --dry-run.

[Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

2017-05-05 Thread James Cameron
G'day Brian.  Yes, it needs to be compiled in.  Download the Ubuntu
source package, apply the patch, build the package, then install it.  If
you've not done that before, you may find it quite complicated.  You
might enable deb-src entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then
"apt-get update", then "apt-get source abiword", then apply the patch,
then install build dependencies with "apt-get build-dep abiword", then
build with "dpkg-buildpackage", then install with "dpkg -i".  There are
different ways to do all this, but that's the simplest I can think of.
Sorry, I didn't keep the result.

2016-12-09 Thread James Cameron
I'll attach a stream that causes the problem.  It is from a DVB-T card,
filtered by pid.

The package with regression is libavcodec54.

Previous working version before updates was
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/libavcodec54/6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

A workaround, downgrade only this package to 6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
does properly play streams.

I want the #1643467 Firefox fix as well, so I've made a local copy of
libavcodec.so.54 for use with mplayer or vlc via LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

[Bug 681617] Re: pptp stops receiving packets when bandwidth spike

2016-11-28 Thread James Cameron
@asavah, you wrote "It's a SHAME that such a good fix is not yet in the
"official" package."

I'm laughing like anything.  I'm the upstream and I make the official
package, yet this fix has NEVER come to me.  I just happen to notice it
now, here.  Next time, make sure you talk to upstream before complaining
about upstream.  ;-)

Merged as df45680 after fixing indentation.  Thanks for the patch.

Ruslan, mail me at qu...@laptop.org if you want your e-mail address
added to AUTHORS; I'd normally do it, but it wasn't in the diff.

[Bug 1573474] Re: ubuntu 16.04 oem config wireless

2016-09-27 Thread James Cameron
Is caused by missing wpa_supplicant.

Alternate workaround is to start it manually;

systemctl start wpa_supplicant

After this, wireless can be used.  The reason reboot worked was that it
did the same thing.

According to syslog, when the host name changes from oem-INVALID to user
preference captured by oem-config, wpa_supplicant is stopped by systemd,
but does not start again.

What systemd thinks of wpa_supplicant at the time of the problem:

# systemctl status wpa_supplicant
● wpa_supplicant.service - WPA supplicant
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service; disabled; vendor 
preset: enabled)

[Bug 1605034] [NEW] maliit-framework import fails in python using GI API

2016-07-20 Thread James Cameron
Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 with xenial-updates applied.

Installed gir1.2-maliit-1.0 0.99.1+git20151118+62bd54b-0ubuntu3 and
dependencies.

Expected: successful import of Maliit via GObject Introspection API
using python "from gi.repository import Maliit",

Observed: failure to import, error is "ImportError: cannot import name
Maliit",

Diagnosis: the package is missing a .typelib file normally installed in
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0

Impact: low, log spam; sugar-session package uses it
(/usr/share/sugar/extensions/deviceicon/frame.py), but does not list it
in dependencies, and hides the exception.

[Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

2016-07-06 Thread James Cameron
Impacting OLPC.

Reproduced using Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial amd64 iso booted as live-image,
plus universe, with abiword_3.0.1-6ubuntu0.16.04.1 from xenial-updates.

Workaround: switch from Ambiance to High Contrast theme.

Also affects package sugar-write-activity_97-5 which depends on package
gir1.2-abiword-3.0 and thus libabiword-3.0.  In my testing, the draw
signal from Abi.Widget is constantly emitted by Gtk as soon as the first
text is added to an empty document.  The consequent Gdk redraws cause
cursor and screen flicker, the severity of which scales with window
size, graphics card, and CPU performance.

Related bug https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915 for abiword 3.0.1 on
Fedora 24 combined with the Sugar Write activity.

So it would seem this is a problem introduced in Gtk or Abiword.  I'm
available to collaborate on this problem at depth.  Contact
qu...@laptop.org, thanks.

2015-08-11 Thread James Cameron
Thanks Brian.

I'm not part of Ubuntu, but I am a developer at One Laptop per Child.
In my situation, the same problem happened without any Windows involved
at all, so I'm looking at what is common between us.

Your system logs show two SATA drives of 64 GB each, a USB CD-ROM drive,
and a multi-card slot.

My system is just a SATA drive of 320 GB, and a USB HDD of 500 GB.  The
Ubuntu installer is on the USB HDD.

Were you using the CD-ROM or the card slot for Ubuntu installer?  (I
can't quite make it out reading your logs).

After several more attempts, I found that the kernel discovery order of
the drives was critical.  When the install media is detected as /dev/sda
the problem occurs.  When the target media is detected as /dev/sda the
install is successful.  There's no obvious way to control the discovery
order.

2014-04-28 Thread James Cameron
On my system after upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 and then to 14.04, custom
shortcuts didn't work because the wrong keysyms were being generated,
according to xev, despite my use of xmodmap in .xsession called by nodm.
I fixed it by delaying the xmodmap by two seconds.  I speculate that the
X server initialisation of keyboard mapping changed in a way to
introduce a race condition, and so setting the keyboard mapping later
worked around the race.

I upgraded from 3.8.0-20.31 to 3.8.0-22.33 on my Macmini6,1 and the
ethernet device went away again as per #1162665, judging by my gkrellm

diagnosis.  Grub would not respond to a held down shift key.

I was able to boot from an external USB DVD drive with the Ubuntu 13.04

3.8.0-22.33 kernel, update-grub, and reboot.  Back to normal again.

[Bug 714492] Re: nodm screen may not show up depending on plymouth and tty

2013-05-18 Thread James Cameron
For me on 13.04 an alternate workaround was to configure
/etc/default/nodm to start on vt8, although this leaves plymouth active
on vt7, whether or not the splash option is on the kernel command line.

The workaround to add plymouth --wait --quit || true to
/etc/init.d/nodm worked fine for me.

Initially the symptoms matched #1070677, which somewhat confused my
investigation.

2013-05-11 Thread James Cameron
Did install from ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso on Macmini6,1 and
built-in ethernet did fail, symptoms matched as above in this ticket.

Did add USB ethernet, enable proposed, install new kernel -20, remove
USB ethernet, reboot, and the built-in ethernet was enabled.

Did several scp of large files to confirm.

[Bug 576601] Re: [MacBookPro 7, 1]mcp89 sata link reset fails, no disks detected

2010-06-19 Thread James Cameron
@Payall: on Mac mini 2010 with internal 320Gb SATA drive, performance is
low, about a tenth of expected.  About 7 MB/sec on Ubuntu 10.04 using
the above kernel, versus about 55 MB/sec on Mac OS X as shipped.  Better
than the 0 MB/sec before this fix was available.

(Test method on Ubuntu; ensure system is quiescent, apt-get install pv
then pv /dev/sda  /dev/null and read the display.  Test method on Mac
OS X; create a large file, reboot, time cat file  /dev/null, note the
file size and the duration, divide out the result.)

[Bug 576601] Re: [MacBookPro 7, 1]mcp89 sata link reset fails, no disks detected

2010-06-18 Thread James Cameron
@Damien, my partitioning was everything in one place and ext3 rather
than ext4, but even during creation of ext3 filesystem the progress was
unremarkable.  It was difficult to tell if it was hung.  I used top(1)
and cat /proc/diskstats in a terminal to verify things were still
happening.  No disk indicator LED on the Macmini4,1.  Perhaps this hints
at a throughput issue.

Re: [Bug 155945] Re: Only a single PPTP-Linux VPN connection allowed

2009-04-16 Thread James Cameron
I'm upstream.

My opinion is that the original poster's problem is a combination of the
incomplete implementation of pptp on Linux, and external devices that
were never intended to be operated in that fashion.

We have a feature request logged in our system (TODO) dated 23rd 
December 2000 to fix do_gre_copy to handle multiple calls to the same
apparent external IP.  There has been no interest in implementing this,
but it is logged.

I don't see any value in Ubuntu maintaining an interest in this feature
request unless there is someone willing to do the work.  I don't know
what conditions let you close the bug, but I suggest you find one that
matches.

[Bug 172746] Re: pptp floods syslog

2008-10-26 Thread James Cameron
Micke, what you describe has nothing to do with the original bug report
... which was an issue with the verbosity of the logs.  But I can
suggest some actions you can take.

1.  Please downgrade temporarily to 8.04 if possible to verify for sure
that it is the transition from 8.04 to 8.10 that caused your problem.

2.  Please look for the cause of lost packets, using tcpdump or
wireshark on your system's network interface, examining the sequence
numbers and matching them against your pptp logs.  If you see that
packets are missing from the dump, then you can exclude the pptp package
as the cause.

3.  Please test with other tools such as ping, wget, or ssh, to see if
you are experiencing lost packets purely on your system's network
interface.  If you are, then include the kernel and the network
interface driver as a possible cause.  Check for a later kernel or bugs
against the kernel relating to your network card.

Otherwise, it sounds like you have an environmental problem, where the
packets are being lost by routers or gateways between you and the
server, as a result of your upgrade.

Consider raising a new bug slow and unstable.  Describe there what is
unstable about it.

[Bug 172746] Re: pptp floods syslog

2008-10-02 Thread James Cameron
The --loglevel option for pptp was added in 2003 for this purpose, and
was present from version 1.4.0-rc1 and onwards.  The messages you show
in this bug report are not printed if the --loglevel is reduced from the
default 1 to the low 0.  The messages indicate you have packet loss, and
for efficiency of your tunnel the cause of the loss could be
investigated.

[Bug 155945] Re: Only a single PPTP-Linux VPN connection allowed

2008-10-02 Thread James Cameron
Upstream code follows the RFC, and does not imitate the competing
implementations exactly, therefore some routers do not handle the
simultaneous connections properly, because the routers were coded and
tested against other implementations.

Upstream will accept patches that seek to make the on-the-wire format
closer to competing implementations.
