spidernik84,

I observed that Ubuntu was being increasingly buggy with each release
and have since moved all my Ubuntu boxes to Debian.

[Bug 384017] Re: Loading /etc/bash_completion is slow

2011-03-14 Thread Neal H. Walfield
Loading /etc/bash_completion takes 3 seconds on my Alix-based system
(which has an AMD Geode 500 MHz CPU).

Bash completions are loaded in a number of places including via
/etc/profile.  A non-invasive way to disable this is to add

  BASH_COMPLETION=1

to the start of /etc/profile.

/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh will only load /etc/bash_completion if
BASH_COMPLETION is the empty string.

If you get an error:

  sed: can't read 1: No such file or directory

Then something else is still trying to load /etc/bash_completion.  In my
base, this was ~/.bashrc.

[Bug 67811] Re: Takes all CPU time

2010-05-26 Thread Neal H. Walfield
I'm using backuppc version 3.1.0-6ubuntu4 on Ubuntu 9.10.

I'm using fairly recent hardware (my backup server uses an Intel Atom
330 CPU, a 1.6 GHz dual-core CPU), yet, this effects me.  Here's some of
the output of top during a backup:

  28539 backuppc  20   0  202m 141m 1368 R   98  4.0   5:26.85 BackupPC_dump
  
  25224 backuppc  20   0 49288 7632 2408 R   79  0.2   1:56.49 ssh  

Both cores are nearly fully utilized.  This remains relatively constant.

(On the machine being backed up, a 4 core 2.3 GHz AMD Athlon(tm) II X4
605e, sshd usings just 10%-15%  of one of the cores.)

I'd suggest fixing this.


To minimize the amount that a backup interferes with other programs running on 
a client, I changed RsyncClientPath to `nice -n 20 /usr/bin/rsync'.

Unfortunately, using the same trick for the server does not work:
changing SshPath to `nice -n 20 /usr/bin/ssh' results in:

  Error: SshPath must be a valid executable path

(using /usr/bin/nice in space of nice doesn't work either.)

It should be relatively painless to prefix the commands that backuppc
exec's with a nice.  Please do this.  Thanks.

[Bug 585791] [NEW] mythvideo's cronjob assumes root can access mythtv tv's home directory

2010-05-26 Thread Neal H. Walfield
Public bug reported:

I mount mythtv's home directory using Kerberized NFS.  The local root
user is unable to access /home (unless root first kinits, of course).
The result is that /etc/cron.hourly/mythvideo does not work for me.
However, there is no good reason for it to fail and the fix is simple:
simply fold the if into the su! The following works for me:

#!/bin/sh   
#Hourly massive update to ensure users see graphics coming in for upcoming 
recordings and current recordings   

su mythtv -c '  
  if [ -f $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml ]; then
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MW  /var/lo\
g/mythtv/jamu.log; 
  fi'

[Bug 526999] Re: Password is ignored on local login, even for root

2010-04-19 Thread Neal H. Walfield
This bug affects me.  To work around it, I do the following:

- Run sudo auth-client-config -a -p kerberos_example
- Change /etc/pam.d/common-auth to use the attached file.
- Create /etc/pam.d/substack-kerberos-unix based on the attached file.

These files are under GPL v2 of the License, or (at your option) any
later version.

Note that it is essential to not simply drop substack-kerberos-unix into
common-auth as this prevents later authentication modules from running
(which, e.g., sshd relies on).

These files (or something similar) should be integrated into /etc/auth-
client-config/profile.d/acc-default .

[Bug 566665] [NEW] pam_mkhomedir should be optional, not required

2010-04-19 Thread Neal H. Walfield
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: auth-client-config

Using the kerberos_example profile in /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d
/acc-default, pam_mkhomedir is required.  It should instead be optional.
I'm mounting /home over NFS and root does not have permission to create
files in /home.  The result is that I cannot log in as a normal user if
that user's home directory does not exist.  Also, it is impossible to su
to such users, which is my real problem.

Instead of:

  pam_session=session requiredpam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022
skel=/etc/skel

This line should read:

  pam_session=session optionalpam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022
skel=/etc/skel

[Bug 409739] [NEW] alternate s3 servers / http_proxy

2009-08-06 Thread Neal H. Walfield
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: deja-dup

I'm using my own S3 server.  deja-dup does not support setting the S3 server
(i.e., it appears to be hard coded to use aws.amazon.com).  Generally this is 
not
a problem if the program would respect the http proxy setting, however, deja-dup
does not appear to do this.  When I run deja-dup as follows:

  http_proxy=http://localhost:8080 deja-dup

it fails and I do not see any access attempts in my S3 server's logs.

Thanks.

[Bug 136252] Re: [gutsy] mdadm, initramfs missing ARRAY lines

2009-06-08 Thread Neal H. Walfield
After updating to 9.04, I experienced a similar problem.

I have three md devices: md0 (/dev/sd{a,b}1, swap), md1 (/dev/sd{a,b}2, root),
and md4 (/dev/sd{a,b}3, home).  On boot, mdadm would incorrectly detect that
/dev/sda was an md device and create it.  Upon inspection (using mdadm -E),
/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sda3, and /dev/sdb3 all had the same super block.
Zeroing the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb ones resulted in also zeroing the /dev/sda3
and /dev/sdb3 ones (which suggests that the /dev/sda3 superblock was being
detected as the /dev/sda one).

I changed my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to have

  DEVICE /dev/sd??*

rather than

  DEVICE partitions

and the system booted fine.

While searching for this problem, I found that some people reported that
mdadm --incremental would not create their arrays properly whereas
mdadm -As worked fine.  I extracted the initrd (kernel 2.6.28-11-generic)
and found that this is indeed how the arrays are being built.  I didn't check
whether 8.10 uses --incremental or --assemble, but perhaps this is a starting
point for further investigation of this issue.
