[Bug 1169984] Re: 3.8.0-18 HDMI audio regression: Either oops or opening device fails with -ENODEV

2013-05-19 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Ubuntu keeps releasing new kernels, and every one re-breaks my HDMI
sound.

Thank goodness for Fabrizio and his comment #8. Although applying it
over and over again is becoming tedious.

Security is an important thing, but it is not the only important thing.

Do any Linux distros actually care about working audio? (Just asking
for, um, a friend.)

[Bug 1174948] [NEW] ZRTP support not enabled

2013-04-30 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Public bug reported:

The current Ubuntu build of linphone packages (3.5.2-10) does not
include ZRTP support for secure communications.

It does include SRTP, but that mode sends encryption keys in the clear,
which kind of defeats the purpose. (Unless you use TCP/TLS for the SIP
connection... But even that is not entirely secure from man-in-the-
middle attacks.)

The current version of linphone does support ZRTP, provided the
libzrtpcpp library is available at compilation time. This is clearly a
good feature to have for security and also for interoperation with other
ZRTP-enabled IP telephony clients.

Please fix the packaging to compile in ZRTP support for linphone.
Thanks.

My left-side monitor is an HDTV.  I normally keep it (a) set to a
different input and (b) turned off.

So, with 11.10, in order to launch an application I have to:

Turn on the HDTV
Select the computer as input source on the HDTV
Open the launcher and launch the application
Change the input back on the HDTV
Turn off the HDTV

For the love of all that is sane in user interface design, PLEASE RE-

There is a fine line between providing user-friendly defaults and
taking away user control.  This decision crosses over that line.  Way,

[Bug 604137] [NEW] mounted-varrun.conf has wrong path for sendsigs.omit.d

2010-07-10 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mountall

/etc/init/mounted-varrun.conf has the following line:

  mkdir -p /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d

But the /etc/init.d/sendsigs script (from the initscripts package) --
which reads this directory -- expects to find it in
/lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d.

All other init scripts -- like /etc/init/portmap.conf, /etc/init.d/open-
iscsi, and /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown -- also expect this directory to
exist under /lib/init/rw.

The result is several subtle bugs afflicting both Lucid and Maverick.
For example, my machine that uses open-iscsi hangs every time I try to
reboot it:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603760

Someone needs to figure out whether sendsigs.omit.d belongs under
/var/run or under /lib/init/rw, and fix the other scripts.

using open-iscsi cannot even reboot their systems.  Thanks.

[Bug 603760] [NEW] Nobody creates /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d

2010-07-09 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysvinit

Release: lucid
Version: 2.87dsf-4ubuntu17

/etc/init.d/sendsigs reads the /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d directory
for a list of files containing PIDs to omit when killing all processes
during shutdown/reboot.

Some init scripts (e.g., open-iscsi and wpa-ifupdown) attempt to use
this directory to protect themselves from being killed.

But on a stock Lucid system, nobody creates this directory.
Consequently, there are problems.  For example, any system using open-
iscsi is unable to shut down or reboot:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/+bug/541512

This is clearly a bug in the initscripts package.  Since the sendsigs
script is the only consumer of the /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d
directory, it ought to be responsible for creating it; or at least, some
other mechanism in the initscripts package should be responsible for
doing so.

I can confirm that the patch in Bug 567143 (mkdir -p

However, if I move the files up one directory level -- sudo mv

[Bug 204850] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in gsd_mouse_manager_start()

2008-08-25 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Thank you, Dmitry!  Your patch works great (modulo one problem; see
below).

In case anybody else wants to fix this for themselves, here are a step-
by-step instructions to apply the patch:

- Download Dmitry's patch from the link above
- Become root
- Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to ensure you have a deb-src line matching your 
deb line for the main Ubuntu archive
$ apt-get update # (necessary if you modified sources.list)
$ apt-get build-dep gnome-settings-daemon
$ apt-get source gnome-settings-daemon
$ cd gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1
$ cp /path/to/09_extra_touchpad_options_fix.patch ./debian/patches
$ ./debian/rules binary
$ dpkg -i ../gnome-settings-daemon_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

That's it.  To ensure your custom package does not get replaced when you
apply updates, you might want to run aptitude hold gnome-settings-
manager.

Now, the problem.  Although this fixes the segfault, it exposes the next
issue, which is that whenever I close any window, the gnome-settings-
manager dies with an X error.  I worked around this by applying the
patch below and rebuilding, but this is almost certainly the wrong
fix, breaks something when not being used in a VNC session, etc.  I am
only including it because a) it works for me and b) it might help an
expert locate and fix the issue for real.

Thank you again, Dmitry.  The blinking cursor in gnome-terminal was
driving me nuts.  :-)

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

On mine (7.10 aka. Gutsy), /etc/init.d/urandom already propagates the
random seed across reboots in /var/lib/urandom/random-seed.

This should make /dev/urandom very safe to use, assuming that file

Re: [Bug 62751] Re: Upstart doesn't activate luks volumes (also non luks) in cryptsetup

2008-03-10 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
It's a long story that depends on how you define random and
secure.  And this is really the wrong forum for this question and
answer.  But I'll give it a whack anyway.  :-)

/dev/random never hands out more bits than it has entropy available.
(It collects entropy from the timings of keyboard interrupts, mouse
interrupts, and the like; and it tries to conservatively estimate how
many bits of randomness each event adds to the pool.)  If the entropy
estimator is conservative -- which its creators believe but which is
impossible to prove -- then /dev/random is perfectly random and
perfectly secure, in the sense that, from an attacker's point of view,
any one of the 2^N possible strings of N bits is equally likely to be
output.

/dev/urandom hands out as many bits as you ask for, using the truly
random state of /dev/random as a seed for a cryptographic
pseudo-random number generator (PRNG).  So even if the /dev/random
entropy pool only has (say) 256 bits of entropy, /dev/urandom will
gladly give you 1000, 1 million, or 1 billion bits of output.  In this
example, since there are only 256 bits of entropy, there are only
2^256 possible outputs, so each of the 2^1000, 2^(1 million) or 2^(1
billion) possible outputs from /dev/urandom is NOT equally likely.  In
this sense, /dev/urandom is less secure than /dev/random.  If the
PRNG is cryptographically strong -- which its creators believe but
which is impossible to prove (at present) -- then there is no
*practical* way to distinguish the output of /dev/random from that of
/dev/urandom...  Because for practical purposes, 2^256 might as well
be 2^1000.

The point of preserving the entropy pool across reboots is to give the
entropy pool an initial state that is unknown to any attacker.  In
other words, even if the attacker knows a lot about your system --
like what state it is in when you first turn it on -- he will not know
anything about your entropy pool as long as he does not know what is
in the saved state file.

Does this help?

/dev/random blocks until it has enough entropy to guarantee
randomness.  That is probably why wiggling the touchpad gets things
going again.

If you have /dev/hwrandom, you can use that...  Otherwise, you can use
/dev/urandom to avoid blocking, but theoretically this could give up
some security (since the random generator's internal state could be
predictable at boot).

[Bug 157842] No sound after upgrade to Gutsy

Public bug reported:

I have a Dell Latitude D610 laptop (Intel ICH6 sound device).

Sound works fine in Windows.  It worked fine in Feisty.  After upgrading
to Gutsy, I can hear no sounds at all.

I am in the audio group.  My User Privileges include Use Audio
Devices.  All volume controls are turned up.

Upgrading to Gutsy broke the sound, period.

Me too

Since the installer created kernel-img.conf, and since update-manager is
the only supported upgrade path for Ubuntu, update-manager should fix
the broken configuration file.  In my opinion.

But regardless, the kernel-img.conf file is broken following an upgrade
to Gutsy.  From my end-user point of view, I don't care whose fault it

seconds...  Then the system switches back to the text console showing a
bunch of messages like this:

Then the hard drive starts grinding and the machine is totally non-
responsive (e.g., Alt+Fxx does not do anything).  After about 20
seconds, the power turns off.

This does not happen every time I suspend/resume, but it's close.  Apart
from the usual attachments, I am attaching my kern.log file.  There are
several examples therein, the most recent being Oct 14 11:58:17.

Let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

 Ubuntu's official emacs-snapshot package has
 (to the best of my knowledge) always been identical to

Yes we know, and it kind of sucks.  This bug report is a plea for
someone to fix it.

Emacs is the only tool on the system that looks like garbage.  It would
take approximately five minutes to fix.  Therefore it will be roughly
six years before it actually happens...  :-)

2007-05-31 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
This may be a stupid question but...  Why?

I mean, the only reason I tried installing an obscure package called
emacs-snapshot was to see if the font rendering had progressed beyond
1995.  What other purpose could emacs-snapshot possibly have?  :-)

More seriously, with a name ending in -snapshot, what difference does
it make whether it is built from the trunk or from a branch?  Anybody
who installs such a package is trying to trade stability for features
anyway, right?  Otherwise, they can just use the emacs package.

If this is the choir, to whom should I be preaching?

(Sorry if I am being obnoxious, but I upgraded to Feisty and now my
Emacs looks like crap again.  Annoying.)

Thank you for the suggestion.  Yes, I tried adding @include common-
pamkeyring to /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver.  It does not work because
pam_keyring.so spawns a new instance of gnome-keyring-daemon instead of
unlocking the running daemon already present.

In my opinion, this should not only work, but it should be the default
configuration for Ubuntu.  Having to type my keyring password over and
over is extremely annoying, especially when I already type it to unlock
the screensaver.  Very few people are going to be able to figure out how
to install the pam-keyring package and edit files under /etc/pam.d.  And
that is even if it actually worked.  :-)

2006-11-05 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Another addendum for others trying to get this card working in Edgy:

With just a little manual configuration, this card is functioning fine
with the current drivers in Edgy.

First I configured it in network-admin.

Then I edited /etc/network/interfaces to add these lines to the iface
wlan0 ... stanza:

  post-up iwlist scan
  post-up iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

(where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the address of my access point)

That's all.  In total, my wlan0 stanza in /etc/network/interfaces looks
like this:

iface wlan0 inet static
wireless-essid my SSID
address 192.168.1.37  # my IP address
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
post-up iwlist scan
post-up iwconfig wlan0 ap my access point address

...with only the post-up lines having been added by hand.  I suspect a
DHCP configuration could be made to work similarly.

So this is not as bad as I thought at first.  Still, it would be better

[Bug 66577] Re: cryptdisks-early and crypdisks scripts don't wait for password

2006-10-22 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
I can confirm this problem in Edgy on x86.  My /etc/crypttab has this
line:

  crypt /dev/hda6

Dapper used to stop during boot and wait for the passphrase.  Edgy does
not.  When I boot without splash, I can see the failure message:

  Starting early crypto disks...
  Enter passphrase: Command failed: Key reading error

After the system comes up, I can run /etc/init.d/cryptdisks (or
cryptdisks-early) by hand and it works fine; it waits for the passphrase
and starts the encrypted device.

[Bug 67607] rt61pci driver fails with Airlink101 AWLH5026

2006-10-22 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Public bug reported:

My wireless adapter is an Airlink101 AWLH5026.  lspci identifies it as
vendor ID 1814, device ID 0401 (Ralink RT2600 802.11 MIMO).

Current release of Edgy correctly loads the rt61pci module.  Network
Settings shows both wmaster0 and wlan0 devices, and it lets me configure
and activate wlan0.  I am not using any encryption.

But the wireless does not work.  DHCP does not acquire a lease, and I am
unable to ping the router even if I use a static IP address.

iwconfig wlan0 shows Not-Associated.

HOWEVER:  When I run iwlist scan, I can see my access point.  If I use
iwconfig wlan0 ap xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to set the access point manually,
the wireless starts working; I can ping my access point and access the
Internet.  I am using it now to submit this bug.  :-)

But the setup is fragile.  If I attempt to switch to DHCP in Network
Settings, the association breaks (goes back to Not-Associated) and I
have trouble re-associating even manually.

I am willing to debug this further if an expert will tell me how to
proceed.  I was hoping this card would just work in Edgy...  I had to
follow the embarrassingly hairy instructions at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132980 to get it working in
Dapper.  Ubuntu should be better than this, and I would like to help.

Thank you!

[Bug 67607] Re: rt61pci driver fails with Airlink101 AWLH5026

2006-10-22 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
Addendum:

Apparently, I have rediscovered the procedure documented in the README
for the rt61pci driver.

http://rt2400.cvs.sourceforge.net/rt2400/source/rt2x00/README?revision=1.39

- After the client interface has been brought up, scanning can be
performed to check if the desired AP is being detected. Note that it is
currently mandatory to scan at least once before starting an association
attempt.

# $ iwlist wlan0 scan

 - To start an association attempt, the AP address should be set:

# $ iwconfig wlan0 ap mybssid

Does this behavior (mandatory scan after ifconfig bring-up) mean that
this hardware can never work out-of-the-box with Ubuntu?
