[Bug 1949605] Re: Backport Thunderbird 91 to 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS

2022-01-29 Thread Simon Iremonger
I had noticed, on   packages.ubuntu.com/thunderbird  -- that the new
91.5 wasn't on all architectures, however it is now.  Potentially I was
noticing what is still the case, that base versions of distro
focal,hirsute,impish have an old version in [ports] but an updated
single version in -updates on all arches confusingly!.

In any case, all seems to be good now,...  Hoping situation improved for
being able to release new series more easily in future etc.  With
thanks!.

Hrrm, I was about to test and then discovered package released already,
though can say all is good so-far.  I notice ports (e.g. arm64) not all
getting new build...  Hope situation is now improved for ongoing
updates, at least.

Thunderbird (and Firefox-ESR) 91.4 has been released by Debian with no
problems, I believe either current or LTS or both had another package
updated in order to support these updates, though I can't seem to find
which it is now.

Both debian and ubuntu seem to have some sort of problem with Thunderbird not 
managing to build on all architectures, or so, in the latest versions in 
packages. databases.
I notice launchpad has built 91.3.0 packages for ubuntu jamil (presumably 
equivalent to debian sid or so)...
Do let us all know about any 'testing' packages ready to try out =).

[Bug 1949605] Re: Backport Thunderbird 91 to 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS

2021-11-04 Thread Simon Iremonger
For what its' worth, the Focal system's provided packages do not meet
the following build-deps of the *debian* Thunderbird 91.3.0 package;-

cbindgen (>= 0.19)
debhelper-compat (= 13)
libnspr4-dev (>= 2:4.32~)
libnss3-dev (>= 2:3.68~)
nodejs (>= 10.19.0)

Merely overriding the version dependencies in debian control file [which
can just automatically referring to latest version needlessly] is not
sufficient, an internal check *actually* requires e.g. nspr >=4.32 .
These packages may need backporting or whatever, or the ubuntu packages
may work differently to get around these limitations for building (in
any case build-deps and runtime-deps may be another matter...).

2021-11-03 Thread Simon Iremonger
For what it is worth, this problem is now back -- very soon need the
Thunderbird 91.3 installed into Ubuntu as 78.x is about at EOL.  Debian
have already prepared their packages in Sid (91.2.1 and 91.3.x no doubt
shortly to follow).  They also offer firefox-esr and do similar work
with that packaging.

I recall there was a suggestion/bug/discussion about sharing resources on ESR 
for at least Thunderbird, to save duplicate resources, not sure where that got 
to.
I am writing to this bug just to notify likely-relevant people, but if this 
isn't happening and needs a bug-report, please start a new bug report and link 
it to this bug, as this has got long and complex already!.

With many thanks,

2021-08-25 Thread Simon Iremonger
virtualbox-dkms binary package comes from the same source package virtualbox.
See  https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal-updates/virtualbox  -- this is a 
one-to-many mapping.
virtualbox-ext-pack  and  virtualbox-guest-additions-iso  are separate.

In any case, al the 6.1.26 packages for 20.04 LTS have reached focal-
proposed and are installable and seem to work, in short, more testing to
do! =).

[Bug 1897962] Re: Out of Memory Error with Brother DCP-J7720W

2021-03-12 Thread Simon Iremonger
I can further confirm that this escl buggy driver affects other
scanners, e.g. Epson XP-830 just to name *one* but there are endless
Escl network printers/scanners these days.

Using the PPA:-
https://launchpad.net/~sane-project/+archive/ubuntu/sane-release
version 1.0.32 *does* work a lot better!.

I have really come to the conclusion that the sane-release PPA is very
backwards-compatible with all the existing software-tools, simple-scan,
xsane, skanlite, libreoffice, xscanimage, gimp, gscan2pdf, ... in all
cases I have tested, the 1.0.32 sane-release ppa version of sane
backends works the same or better as the focal 1.0.29 version without
requiring any software to be re-compiled.  'gscan2pdf' is notably more
functional than simple-scan in terms of being able to auto-rotate back-
sides of scanned auto-feed pages.

The trouble comes, helping users without having to do all sorts of
searching and having to 'find out' bugs hard way  Can a new point-
release of focal provide sane-backends and sane-airscan backported,
well-tested packages?

As to when to get users ipp-usb (or not) installed, is another matter
entirely, that also matters.  For some ipp-usb makes the scanning work
well, for other cases not, needs to be NOT running to support legacy
scanner drivers!... I suspect for 22.04 ipp-usb should be provided by
default.

2021-01-16 Thread Simon Iremonger
The pathway by which this error can occur, is installing package 
"samba-common-bin" on focal20.04 with no previous samba installation ...   -- 
although there is a /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf installed, the package 
installer seems to end up creating the above error due to not having /run/samba 
when trying to start something samba-related using smb.conf provided in 
samba-common... 
Appears, this particular state can be workarounded by manually creating 
/run/samba then installing samba-common-bin, then on next reboot /run/samba is 
created automatically and error does not recur...

2021-01-14 Thread Simon Iremonger
@Meluco  I don't in any way think nvidia-340 likely to affect wifi, but test 
your wifi on all the kernels, especially 5.4.0-62-generic and 5.8.0-38-generic.
Do hold down shift early at system startup to get in GRUB boot menu (exact 
timing depends upon system), you should be able to get into "Advanced options 
for Ubuntu" and boot with different kernels.  Seems like nvidia-340 likely to 
work in all cases, you seem to have dkms compiled for all.
If there is a kernel<>wifi issue in current 5.8.0-38 or 5.4.0-62-generic please 
search for that bug / report that bug separately to this bug, note what kernels 
it does/doesn't work with, and so-on.

2021-01-13 Thread Simon Iremonger
@ihler   [and same comment may apply to others...]

How have you ended up with -hwe kernel getting installed anyhow?
Default behaviour of particular install iso image?  Because clicked some
option somewhere?  Some sort of 'unintended/accident' and only later
found the consequence of k5.8 auto-installing?  Using a non-standard
ubuntu install image?   This situation will need investigating as we
don't want similar mess occurring in another 6months when following HWE
kernel goes into 18.04.3 and so-on!...

I'd prefer that 20.04.2 provided users option to install with kernel
5.4LTS and stay there for older hardware.  I note, ubuntu-derivative
LinuxMint have decided to do this and not by-default follow the HWE
chain, but providing an initial -edge image with kernel 5.8 for those
who really need it.

May be better that those on older hardware move back to LTS 5.4 kernel
and not keep following HWE?  May be that legacy drivers can still be
bought forward to further HWE kernels all the way to the final HWE
series...?  We will see, I guess, but I'd like to see these
breakages/messes avoided ongoing.

Also: For those stuck without Nvidia working on k5.8 -- simple short-
term thing to do, is hold down SHIFT at system startup (exact timing
depends upon system) to get to the GRUB boot-menu, and then select
"Advanced options for Ubuntu" (or thereabouts) submenu and then you
should be able to boot from the latest 5.4 kernel you should still have

2021-01-13 Thread Simon Iremonger
For what its' worth, I built the nvidia-340_340.108-0ubuntu5 package
(includes patches to go up to kernel 5.9 apparently) on Focal20.04 --
just using the groovy-updates version and renumbering it back to
20.04.0test0 instead of a 20.10. version.

The full source and set of debs is here:-

https://www.iremonger.me.uk/noidx/nvidia-340-focal/

You only seem to need the 'nvidia-340' deb [ 
https://www.iremonger.me.uk/noidx/nvidia-340-focal/nvidia-340_340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.0test0_amd64.deb
 ] for basic usage of the driver, but the full set of debs and source package 
is provided above.
This appears to solve the build and install problem on 20.04 based system, with 
ubuntu kernel 5.8 series installed.
By all means use and test this if you like, I hope ubuntu-devs will put the 
same or equivalent into focal-proposed and focal-updates very soon!.

2021-01-11 Thread Simon Iremonger
I can confirm that there is not yet a new 'nvidia-340' in focal-proposed.  
Looking at the changelogs this *should* be a very simple case of backporting 
existing gutsy-updates source to focal just naming it .20.04.1 on the end 
instead of 20.10.2, in short.
I think this needs to be done promptly as affecting existing LTS desktop users 
with hwe metapackages installed!
Would be nice to see patch support also k5.10 which is already packaged in 
debian, and provided in various 3rd-party-isos, but not if holding up immediate 
nvidia-340 update.

2021-01-09 Thread Simon Iremonger
I can confirm virtualbox-6.1.16-dfsg-6 packages (including -ext-pack and 
-guest-additions-iso) seem to be working well, even succeeds in 'resuming' a VM 
that was "saved" under 6.1.10 .  Exercised many functions and having no issues 
as-yet.
I tested against the focal-proposed kernel 5.4.0-61, very successfully!.  I 
understand others have been trying the 5.8 kernels already (e.g. ubuntu 20.10).

@koparebu   -- You will need liblzf1 manually downloaded too in order to 
manually download like that.
In any case, once manually installed, unless you went out of your way to 'pin' 
or 'hold' the packages, apt/update-manager will happily "upgrade" them in 
future if they are superseded by newer packages in the repositories,  so there 
is no need to be concerned.

[Bug 1903848] Re: Latest kernel update to "5.4.0-53-generic" = Internal audio, USB webcam no longer working

2021-01-03 Thread Simon Iremonger
@rivpelle
There are quite a lot of Audio-fixes in Kernel 5.4.0-59-generic which is coming 
to 20.04LTS imminently, changelog here:-

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vdw94dvHTy/

Additionally, it seems from focal-proposed packages,  linux-generic-
hwe-20.04  is about to cause install of 5.8.0-34-generic, on LTS ubuntu
20.04 -- i.e. support installing 5.8 kernel for hwe (new hardware
enablement).

Ideally, when 20.04.2 ubuntu image comes out next month, you can test
booting this on your system (from DVD or USB etc, no need to install)
and confirm the issue is fixed and then close the bug-report.

Note your 20.10 will need to be updated to 21.04 and then 21.10 then
22.04  to remain supported (or, you may choose to re-install 20.04.2 at
some point).

[Bug 1891682] Re: [MIR] sane-airscan

2020-12-15 Thread Simon Iremonger
Fwiw, this is likely to be such a common usability problem, LinuxMint decided 
to provide more useful sane-airscan version directly in their repositories for 
mint20.1 based open focal20.04.
https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues/327

Since, Focal 20.04LTS does not have 'sane-airscan' package I think
ubuntu should look at providing/backporting this more easily for focal
users -- that is, not requiring a convoluted hidden process requiring
manual search for bug-reports/PPAs, with no clue to the user this may be
needed, and so-on.

Any "Driver-manager" etc could assist with the sane-airscan adding /
sane-backends+escl-backport options.

2020-10-20 Thread Simon Iremonger
For what its' worth -- r.e. groovy release..

libsane1 (1.0.31-2) seems to include libsane-escl listed normally in
dll.conf  (i.e. likely a reasonable version of escl, better than focal
known-buggy version).

sane-airscan 0.99.15-1   is in gusty universe, so will require an SRU in
order to be changed to 0.99.18 etc.   Not sure how much difference that
makes [maybe maintainer can comment!].

Not clear to me that installing sane-airscan package will 'just work' to
take-over from escl when installed, by default (or if manual modding
dll.conf needed), however.

Maybe, the way this works, is such that users will see scanner listed
twice, both driver options offered, or maybe airscan should take over
escl if installed

2020-10-07 Thread Simon Iremonger
>From what I can tell, actually the  escl  buggy driver affects a wide range of
Brother, Canon, Epson, HP, Ricoh, Xerox,  apple-protocol  scanners ..,  
although
Mick reported his specific scanner, indications from sane devs and from debian 
bugs and other anecdotes suggest 'escl' 1.0.29 problems rather more widespread.

I really do think this is a special (and important) case for an LTS-
distro, as MANY scanner manufacturers have taken up the airscan protocol
and this provides a much easier scanning integration than lots of the
individual protocols that came before.

I do think this is doing a serious dis-service to Ubuntu LTS users, not
to even modify the packages to produce a Warning message pointing at the
correct fix, when escl module gets used, even if no extra package
formally in focal.


I do think it would be fair to get input from sane-devs etc... they too may be 
able to clarify how wide-spread issues are.

I appreciate this may need to be looked at after Groovy released and after 
escl/airscan modules a 
bit further matured, etc, but I do strongly suspect not attending to this in 
some manner is going to perpetuate an increasing usability-headache, lots of 
duplicate bug reports, and so-on, throughout the life of focal LTS.

2020-10-01 Thread Simon Iremonger
Just for completeness, Mick (original reporting on issue in different
forum) said:-

$ scanimage -L
device `escl:http://192.168.1.94:80' is a ESCL Brother DCP-J772DW flatbed 
scanner 

$ scanimage -T
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
Capability : [(null)]
Capability : [image/jpeg]
scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 0 to 0
scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 0 to 0
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument 

and similar error with  $ scanimage > image.pnm 
and similar with Gscan2PDF.


Bottom line is, escl driver bugs are going to affect a lot of  Epson and apple 
AirScan  protocol scanners.  Debian bugs and upstream reports all explain wider 
issues with escl driver.

I think it will be worth re-visiting the Backport idea after Gutsy has
been out and tested for a while.  PPA's have the problem they will keep
being subjected to ongoing-changes and new breakages and so-on ...!.

I can see there is a fundamental difficulty that drivers are not
packaged separately and so difficult to backport a particular driver
(escl driver being SRU'ed would be nice...).

2020-08-30 Thread Simon Iremonger
OK Turns out my btrfs+floppy bug is indeed a kernel floppy matter, and
the btrfs scan just 'triggers' the fault.

The new kernel floppy maintainer says:-
This patch should fix the problem:
263c61581a38 ("block/floppy: fix contended case in floppy_queue_rq()")
The commit id in stable tree is 29ed45653bec.

> ubuntu kernel 5.4.0-42-generic
I think that these versions don't contain the fix. The fix is in the
5.4 kernel since 5.4.47 version.

SO, looks like my related comment is a red-herring and (should) be fixed
by routine updates to 5.4.0 ubuntu kernel updates!.

I can further confirm that taking out the btrfs scan in  /usr/share
/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/btrfs  fixes the intermittent

2020-08-29 Thread Simon Iremonger
This issue, or variant thereof, has been observed on Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux 
Mint 20.
I'm not 100% sure yet but it SEEMS to be affecting systems with a floppy drive.

Can end up with bootup-messages:-

[timestamp] Btrfs loaded, crc32c=crc32c-generic
Scanning for Btrfs filesystems
[timestamp] floppy0: floppy_queue_rq: timeout handler died.  old request running

removing 'btrfs-progs' (which then removes from initrd) works around the issue 
reliably.
I need to double-check, i think kernel command line  modprobe.blacklist=floppy  
 can also workaround issue.
Last I checked, I didn't find this to be specific to a particular kernel/series.

Certainly experienced this on totally different hardwre, e.g. an intel
core-2-duo in compaq Dx2300,  but also on a completely different HP
motherboard AMD64 machine/chipset.  From what I can see this is not
particular hardware specific either!.

In any case, I note neither  focal 3.0.1-0ubuntu1   package, nor

(e.g. backported debhelper, likely nothing else apparently needing

Definitely worth making some PPAs with a view to bionic-backports in my

[Bug 1773157] Re: procps outdated network options, old syncookies, new ecn update please.

2018-05-31 Thread Simon Iremonger
Right -- systemd have just-now agreed to set the change in their upstream 
systemd sysctl files :-
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/6f130e85c76cfc2c58ba31f90d2ac3800866c1dd

I notice, however, that ubuntu's systemd pkg 'strips most those settings
out', in 18.04 currently only carrying the 18.04 fq_codel switch-on in
their sysctl.d


I think, given what has been said, I would like to propose that I :-

* Make a suggested text for a 10-network-bufferbloat.conf  here in
procps in 18.10 (hopefully-onwards, including suitable
references/comments about BBR (which should be there but commented/not-
enabled yet unless we are sure its' been fixed to respond to ECN
notifications.).  This text shall explain clearly these are deliberately
being tested into 18.10 and where to report bugs.

* Look at what ubuntu's systemd package towards 18.10 is importing in
sysctl.d -- and likely suggest ubuntu 'taken out' entirely  so  procps
is the 'one' location for these settings (i.e. no duplicate setting of
qdisc=fq_codel in 2 different places).  Some will want to boot ubuntu
with OpenRC or upstart for whatever reasons and consistent-behaviour
would be helpful...

* Ask in the BBR community about tcp_congestion_control goings-on there,
when they are ready for ECN-compatible BBR wider-deployment.

* Then, as/when seems appropriate, suggest changes into upstream-debian
and upstream-kernel on the defaults.

@rbalint -- what do you think on this plan for the interim?

[Bug 1773157] Re: procps outdated network options, old syncookies, new ecn update please.

2018-05-29 Thread Simon Iremonger
It would appear that the path-of-least-resistance at present, is
systemd, poettering which is what is (for systemd-booters) where
fq_codel is getting turned-on in ubuntu.

This raises a wider-issue about bringing systemd-provided sysctl-
defaults into procps more widely [systemd has introduced many of these
in its' own repository, but version in ubuntu-bionic has few, see
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/ on a bionic system...

ALSO I have discovered there are facts to be checked about "BBR" as
default TCP congestion-control, which will also be desirable, but MAY
still have immature/issues when ECN is used on a TCP connection as well
[one suggestion BBR doesn't react to ECN notifications]...   I'm trying
to get 'evidence' and 'facts' in that regard, which seem to be sparse
and hard-to-find ...

I'm going to (try) to get more facts before suggesting patches with 
reasons/evidence a few places.
Agree entirely debian and upstream worth trying to ask, etc.
HOWEVER its' often very useful to have had a change introduced in a 'non-lts' 
or 'testing' distibution like ubuntu-non-LTS releases so you can say how it 
works and had some testing/exposure somewhere first...  It may be I come back 
to you and suggest a delta in ubuntu "for now" for good reason.  We will see.

Thankyou for helpful and promising-sounding response!.

2018-05-27 Thread Simon Iremonger
Here is the PPA for all architectures, please test :-
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-iremonger/+archive/ubuntu/e2fsprogs-xenial

That is currently a backport of the version in bionic release itself,
but maintains the xenial mke2fs.conf defaults [creating filesystems
without 64bit,metadata_csum] for compatibility.

I notice e2fsprogs in cosmic [1.44.2] introduces an anti-crash-fix [filesystems 
designed to crash e2fsck!].  Exactly what versions should then be considered 
for xenial-backports and xenial-updates, and if any updates to bionic should 
also be considered, is another matter!.
Debian already have 1.44.2 backported to stretch (their current LTS release), 
for example.

"-updates" versions might not, for example, want to update the comerr
development headers and other potential compatibility regression areas,
who knows?.

2018-05-25 Thread Simon Iremonger
A lot of comments here seem outdated, however things have moved on in a
good-way!

Taking reference of
https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Linux_Tips/  -- would
now seem that many of the bufferbloat fixes HAVE been implemented --

Upstream kernel changes have now introduced tcp_sack tcp_dsack seemingly.
Systemd, interestingly-enough, now enables fq_codel as default qdisc.
[See LP #1436945 ].

The remaining piece of this bufferbloat puzzle on desktop distributions, seems 
to be
turning on tcp_ecn fully so that it actually gets used on outgoing TCP 
connections
(with adaptive fallback now supported).


See related Issue: #1773157 -- Please support this and mark as affecting you as 
you see fit!
Also:  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/9087

Hope that helps!

[Bug 1436945] Re: devel: consider fq_codel as the default qdisc for networking

2018-05-25 Thread Simon Iremonger
Interestingly, turns out that seemingly systemd is what is (currently)
responsible for turning on fq_codel by default.  See:-

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/e6c253e363dee77ef7e5c5f44c4ca55cded3fd47

Be nice to then get that suggested into upstream linux as a default
and/or procps for 'non-systemd' booting.   Also see   #1773157  -- ECN
really needs to be properly enabled to give the best benefit for
congestion with TCP streams present.

Possibly, turning on ECN might more likely happen there first, but I would like

[Bug 1773157] [NEW] procps outdated network options, old syncookies, new ecn update please.

2018-05-24 Thread Simon Iremonger
Public bug reported:

The ubuntu version of procps carries it's own  /etc/sysctl.d/10-network-
security.conf  file explicitly that appears not to be part of debian
procps version.


Firstly, the section about "# Turn on SYN-flood protections." (came from LP 
#57091 ) is now entirely outdated, upstream kernel has long since turned on 
syncookies by default, so setting this flag explicitly in 
10-network-security.conf is entirely redundant likely since before ubuntu-14.04 
.
I would like the ubuntu-maintainer to remove that section entirely in cosmic 
onwards.

[I am going to report debian the similarly outdated syncookies comments
in sysctl.conf itself].


Secondly, I propose a new 10-network-tuning.conf with:-
==
# Allow ECN for outgoing connections.  Starting with 4.2, there is an adaptive
# fallback [enabled by default tcp_ecn_fallback option] preventing connection
# loss even with ecn enabled, also ecn-intolerance is increasingly very rare.
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1
==

I know there is a (small) chance of issues/regressions with ECN enabled
by default on outgoing but I'm quite sure the issue is very rare, like
others notice [ref: 1 and 2 below].  Apple's selective enablements etc.
show this works just as much as my own use for years and many similar
reports.

ECN actually being used for outgoing connections really helps with
latency-reduction with modern routers (both core and edge) using queuing
disciplines fq_codel or otherwise, able to mark rather than drop packets
on ECN-enabled flows [helps latency and realtime applications].  Now we
are just past LTS release is in my view the 'right time' to finally
enable ECN [and obviously easy to revert!].  If this is disputed, in ANY
case I strongly suggest at the very least a commented-out ECN section
should be included, but 'defaults matter'!.

I was going to suggest a non-default section about
net.core.default_qdisc [ LP #1436945 ] but this appears to have been
fixed upstream similarly.

HOWEVER, Trusty e2fsprogs backporting situation actually seems to be that, some 
change between  1.43.3-1~bpo8+1  and  1.43.4-2  is where the

A simple patch to the 'debian/control' file adding the explicit '-dbg' package 
entries on the end *APPEARS* to solve all the problems, and allows 1.43.9 [or 
1.44.0 for that matter!] to SEEMINGLY build fine, pass all tests, and work fine 
on trusty without any issues I can find so-far!:-
https://www.iremonger.me.uk/noidx/e2fs/e2fsprogs-1.43.9_trusty_debian-control.patch
https://www.iremonger.me.uk/noidx/e2fs/e2fsprogs-1.44.0_trusty_debian-control.patch

This all SEEMS to work fine, but I'd like tytso to comment on this, is
this really a safe workaround or just 'fixing the symptom'.  From what I
can see all the right programs are generated and work fine.

AGAIN, I'd highly recommend installing byte-for-byte the 'original' mke2fs.conf 
in any trusty-backport version of e2fsprogs, so as to avoid any unwanted 
behavioural-changes or configuration-file-update-prompts :-.

2018-03-17 Thread Simon Iremonger
OK On further investigation, I have confirmed a lot of key-facts (1 of 2
linked comments).

e2fsprogs 1.44.0-1 backports to xenial with no difficulty whatsoever,
passes "make fullcheck" and works in every way I can tell, lots of
resizing and checking and use within gparted, etc, all (apparently)
behaving...

HOWEVER, for an official xenial-backport (and especially xenial-SRU), to 
minimize possible problems, I would highly recommend making single change of 
restoring the 'default' mke2fs.conf EXACTLY (byte-for-byte) as that which came 
with xenial e2fsprogs 1.42.13-1ubuntu1 :-
https://www.iremonger.me.uk/noidx/e2fs/mke2fs.conf.xenial
This (a) avoids prompting users who've customized their mke2fs.conf about 
merging-changes, and (b) avoids functional-change for those with 
automated-deployment-scripts etc. based upon ext4 creation.

I presume, a 'xenial-backport' -or- SRU "proposed" update can be started
straight-away?  xenial-SRU should DEFINITELY be considered for fsck
compatibility with bionic-created FS.

devs spoke of accepting an SRU (full stable-release-update) for xenial
e2fsprogs, but I suspect backporting in first instance may be a good
approach [?].

See linked bug 1601997, response seems to be to accept your 'new'
defaults for ext4 in 18.04. I note, particularly -- your request about
1.44.0 inclusion doesn't yet seem to be addressed [maybe it requires a

2018-03-15 Thread Simon Iremonger
Steve:

Given what you say, can you consider Tytso's request to put 1.44.0
e2fsprogs into Bionic.  This allows for not-enabled-by-default for
support of 2 extra ext4 flags in e2fsprogs,  thereby avoiding this
situation happening again for 20.04 with respect to THOSE flags...

As TJ- said, be good to get it in for LTS release from the off.

[Bug 1601997] Re: Ubuntu 16.10+ installer uses ext4 feature 'metadata_csum' which is incompatible with older (LTS) e2fsprogs

2018-03-14 Thread Simon Iremonger
Initial comments from the email:-

a)  There is some confusion over "metadata_csum" with/without "64bit". -- Those 
who have 'reverted' are usually reverting BOTH flags [as I've done some 
places], not just metadata_csum.
My understanding is 64bit is of no benefit except support >16TB fs and to 
strengthen metadata_csum's [if used, which help notice dodgy disks in theory.].

b)  The business of including e2fsprogs-1.44.0 in 18.04 at tytso's
request [NON-default extra feature support may benefit Samba users etc.
later] is not addressed.

c)  Its' worth pointing-out explicitly e2fsprogs only enabled
64bit,metadata_csum 'by default' for 'everybody' within last few weeks,
Debian change was as-you-rightly-quote.

d)  Considering the above, also think outside the ubuntu-box!  What do
canonical's customers/partners expect compatibility-wise with other non-
ubuntu systems, virtualizers/ISCSI-hosts/etc (e2fsprogs 1.42 still very
common!), let alone "backports to ubuntu LTS versions" only?.

e)  My understanding from TJ in IRC is he's started doing some tests on
some datacentre cases, there are particular issues with things like
ISCSI hosts, the host system needs to fsck guest-FS and break
otherwise!.  HOPEFULLY this will appear soon and can be added to the
mail-discussion.

I can try to join email/post directly to mail if appropriate/helpful.

2018-03-14 Thread Simon Iremonger
FWIW, As was discussed, I checked into Grub2 and os-prober in older supported 
ubuntu (which may have similar incompatibility to e2fsprogs, thereby creating a 
multibooting issue with 18.04).
After experimenting carefully with a 14.04+16.04+18.04 (GA kernels, no HWE 
specifically) BIOS-style triple boot, can confirm the grub ext4 support is all 
cross-compatible (14.04 can autodetect and boot 64bit,metadata_csum 18.04 from 
its' own grub2).

However, e2fsprogs is DEFINITELY an issue as above, definitely worth
sorting-out whatever-happens to the 18.04 default filesystem options, in
my view.

[Bug 1601997] Re: Ubuntu 16.10+ installer uses ext4 feature 'metadata_csum' which is incompatible with older (LTS) e2fsprogs

2018-03-10 Thread Simon Iremonger
Can we pay-attention, to this thread (now) being about considering the
feature-flags 'used by default' in mke2fs.conf, in consideration to
18.04 --  [linked bug for e2fsprogs].

We know massive 'compatibility'/portability benefit of formatting the
same as previous-LTS by default, as the required e2fsprogs was only
introduced 16.10, and the needed kernel was only in 16.04 (and 14.04
-HWE-kernel-update.).  NB: Looks like there is a similar issue with
GRUB2 which affects dual-booters, grub2 2.02beta3 may be needed to
support 64bit FS.  If so, again Xenial isn't compatible to detect an
18.04 in multi-boot-menu.

I'd like tytso to comment on the downsides of formatting without
64bit,metadata_csum, more specifically.  From what I can (see) this only
loses a little extra checksumming-integrity (against bad disks, which
we've never needed before??), and the 64bit feature appears only to be
needed to strengthen these checksums or support >16TB disks (bearing in
mind auto_64bit_support can still be used).  NB: Is this correct, -OR-
is there likely going to be future annoyances with 'other' ext4
features-to-come which will ALSO expect 64bit formatting?.

My suggestion is, this hasn't been sorted-out enough in the ubuntu-
world, and 64bit,metadata_csum should be disabled-by-default for 18.04
and backporting grub/e2fsprogs/etc where relevant should happen as well
[see other thread, possibly another may be created for grub2].

2018-03-10 Thread Simon Iremonger
Given your other comment (which I think may have been posted to the wrong 
thread):-
[E2fsprogs 1.44.0 now depends on dpkg build-profiles, which means that getting 
it backported to 14.04 LTS would require adjusting debian/control and 
debian/rules a bit. For 14.04 LTS, I'd urge consideration of going to e2fsprogs 
1.43.9. This will get you most of the latest bug fixes, including some that 
could cause massive file system corruption and data loss (relative to e2fsprogs 
1.42.x) in the right (wrong) circumstances.]

--are you saying that 1.39.9/1.44.0 ought to not only go to trusty-backports 
and xenial-backports, but also then into 'updates' to be 'pushed to all users' 
-- that needs some fiddly SRU process ?
I note Debian haven't pushed such an update back to jessie/wheezy either.

I (suspect) Canonical will require significant 'evidence'/'bug-reports'
for backports to become 'updates' in this circumstance...  HOPEFULLY
1.44.0 into bionic will be easier.

Hope that helps,

[Bug 1601997] Re: Ubuntu 16.10 installer sets metadata_csum option on ext4 partition which is incompatible with other LTS Ubuntu versions

2018-03-10 Thread Simon Iremonger
Canonical please read Theodore Tso's Comment #4 above, and consider for
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS!

This "64bit,metadata_csum" creates compatibility-issues even with 16.04
LTS, and does not seem to provide a huge benefit [>16TB fs support,
slightly stronger metadata checksumming].

This creates all sorts of problems for compatibility/portability of 
filesystems, e.g.:-
* dual-booting 18.04, even previous LTS version cannot fsck the filesystem.
* "ext4 portable disks" created by 18.04 similarly same problem.
* Also consider how wide is the 64bit,metadata_csum support anyway, users may 
want disks to work with many distros/drivers?  Canonical's 
commercial-supporters may have views herein?.  -- the linked bugreport also 
mentions another issue with hwe-edge and LVM.

Also note, turning off the 64bit,metadata_csum when required is a total
PAIN, needing filesystem offline, fsck and tune2fs in careful
concert.

In my view, the 16.04 LTS mke2fs.conf [ ext4{} stanza with
"auto_64-bit_support = 1" and NO "64bit,metadata_csum" in "features" ]
should be seriously-considered for 18.04 "LTS" (even if 18.10 onwards follow 
Debian).

As tytso says, this 'change' has been "Decision-by-Default" due to
importing a Debian upstream package, I would like Canonical to make an
'informed and considered decision' about this please!.

Hope that helps!

2018-03-10 Thread Simon Iremonger
Ubuntu 18.04 may well enable (under review) 64bit,metadata_csum by
default, thereby creating ext4 filesystems that are not compatible with
e2fsck on Ubuntu-16.04 LTS (or 14.04)?

This creates all sorts of problems for compatibility/portability of 
filesystems, for e.g.:-
* dual-booting 18.04 and older LTS versions
* "ext4 portable disks" do not work.
* (notice also Ken's hwe-edge/lvm issue above too).

I strongly support that Xenial gets a backport of e2fsprogs-1.43 (as requested) 
so that this compatibility-annoyance is ameliorated, at least.
Debian have already done this, created a "jessie-backports" 
e2fsprogs=1.43.3-1~bpo8+1 

Hopefully tytso can advise us on the best version of e2fsprogs to
backport (18.04 currently has 1.43.9-2).

I haven't seen why not to enable use of adaptive syncookies, aiui
this creates no _disadvantage_ if not being triggered...

I CAN understand that for some scenarios the 'right thing to do'
is Increase the tcp_max_syn_backlog as cookies are triggering too
easily, even then it won't stop connections being accepted albeit
with less tcp options possible, but then without syncookies
the connections would be dropped as the syn queue fills...

Weird :).
I can't say I'm familiar with uwf, but I wonder if it is somehow
oversensitive in its' own ip(6)tables or they are fiddling with:-

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog


Do raise bug in the ufw // ufw sysctl.conf   Also email me

[Bug 57091] Re: proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies=1 should be seriously considered to permit SYN flood defense...

2016-02-15 Thread Simon Iremonger
Upstream kernel have decided to enable syncookies by default (according to that 
debian bug, since Linux 2.6.37!).
This makes sense, as the main downsides have already been resolved (especially 
window scaling even under syncookies-activation), and this feature only 
kicks-in if the SYN-queue is overloaded.

We might now consider taking out this (now superfluous) tcp_syncookies
entry from /etc/sysctl.d/10-network-security.conf ...


I think, a similar situation has now arisen with respect to the
"tcp_ecn" setting, where the (conservative) (enabled by default)
fallback mechanism in the kernel, along with the rarity of ecn-
intolerance, along with the wide ECN-adoption in practice in Apple ios /
MAC OS X now, along with the importance of ECN for smooth responsive
internet in the face of congestion, means that this tcp_ecn setting
should similarly be seriously considered.   This should be the subject
of new bug report right-soon-now =).

[Bug 842586] Re: sflphone FTBFS (unavail. b-d libedateserverui1.2-dev) and is NBS

2011-10-29 Thread Simon Iremonger
The fundamental problem here, seems to be, that sflphone is built
against gnome2 style 'libedataserverui1.2-dev' and this is not available
with Gnome-3 (although some of the other libraries such as
libedataserver1.2 ARE still there).

I'm not 100% sure but I think the 'right thing to do' is make sflphone
able to compile against libedataserverui3.0-dev but no doubt for some
time it will also need to be able to compile against the gnome 2.0,
libedataserverui1.2-dev too

Just changing the dependencies, gets as far as an error about vbox not
being a valid element in something to do with dialog boxes =).  Clearly
the compile-level-interface has changed such that some of the code needs
rewriting to fix this, I think.

It would be good for this confusion/misinformation to get sorted

Why is it that some wish to make sweeping statements and not

What do you do in this circumstance?

2009-09-25 Thread Simon Iremonger
 Ah, nice. I kinda expected a link to the package version in which it
got fixed.

The silly thing is
There is misinformation in the /etc/sysctl.conf now!

It says:-
# This disables TCP Window Scaling (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/5/167)
First of all that is incorrect as a blanket statement.
A connection 'saved by syncookies' used to not allow window scaling.
But, it always worked fine solong as there was not a synflood going on!

Secondly, its' completely wrong now, because newer kernel
   SynCookies, will ALWAYS allow window scaling, regardless
   of syncookies having 'kicked in' or not!

That could do with just being removed.

 Looks like the latest updates to the php5 packages broke it again. The 
 symlink solution doesn't work and I have the latest version of the 
 package installed.

What release / architechure are you using?
   (cat /etc/lsb-release);(uname -a)
What version of php5-imagick has just got installed?
   (dpkg -l php5-imagick)
What error do you now get exactly?

It would seem you have the 'hardy' version of the php5-imagick package,
   2.0.1-1 which has the bug.  (It was linked with libWand.so.9 version).

The 'hardy-updates' version of php5-imagick (** 2.0.1-1ubuntu0.1 **)
   depends upon 'libmagick10' and does not appear to have this problem.

I.e. it would appear you have the old un-fixed version of the package!!
See:-
   http://packages.ubuntu.com/php5-imagick

If you look in your /etc/apt/sources.list file you may be missing
   hardy-updates...

My Hardy8.04 machine has this in /etc/apt/sources/list:-

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe

[Bug 230544] Re: Computer lockup and screen full of garbage [i82810E DC-133]

2008-11-19 Thread Simon Iremonger
I'm getting a similar error but different problem ;-).

All worked fine on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (actually I think I got warnings in
the dmesg, but it all still *worked*).

This machine has:-
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics 
Controller (CGC) (rev 04)

Under Ubuntu 8.10 -- even with a 'new' default xorg.conf -- all works fine on a 
single X-server...
But as soon as I start a second X-server *using gdm / 'switch user'* it won't 
start, and I get similar errors in dmesg:-

[41900.203101] mtrr: base(0xf800) is not aligned on a size(0x300) 
boundary
[41933.640735] mtrr: no MTRR for f800,300 found
[41949.696017] [drm:drm_release] *ERROR* reclaim_buffers_locked() deadlock. 
Please rework this
[41949.696027]  driver to use reclaim_buffers_idlelocked() instead.
[41949.696030]  I will go on reclaiming the buffers anyway.
[41952.700010] [drm:i810_wait_ring] *ERROR* space: 65520 wanted 65528
[41952.700018] [drm:i810_wait_ring] *ERROR* lockup
[41955.756017] [drm:drm_release] *ERROR* reclaim_buffers_locked() deadlock. 
Please rework this
[41955.756026]  driver to use reclaim_buffers_idlelocked() instead.
[41955.756029]  I will go on reclaiming the buffers anyway.

The funny thing is, if I switch away from X server and start one
manually, that works (but with no DRI)... I wonder what's going on!!!

Re: [Bug 57091] Re: proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies=1 should be seriously considered to permit SYN flood defense...

2008-10-23 Thread Simon Iremonger

 ...option causes the system to violate the TCP standard...
 I do not think this is the case. If you check RFC4732 they list this as
 a possible way to help against DoS attacks.

 I also believe that window scaling is not affected, but large windows
 are. But accepting legit traffic without large windows is better than
 dropping the connections.
Note, that, seemingly, as of Linux 2.6.26, tcp connections with
   large windows can now be accepted under syn-flood too!  So,
   even that, no longer matters, seemingly...

 So if the implementation is an adaptive one that only use SYN
 cookies when under huge load, then I am all for this.
Yes, it is.
Linux produces messages on the kernel log, to say sending cookies
   when this happens.  I.e. SYN-cookies do NOT come into play unless
   there is a high load of incoming connections.

I can understand that some systems receiving a legitimately high
   number of connections, it may be necessary to increase the
   net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog (or whatever it is, exactly) to
   avoid the use of cookies... but that *still* does not create
   any reason not to have set tcp_syncookies=1 !!

 At least in the server edition.
I don't see why the install CD type matters, myself...
Any install can result in some use of TCP listening sockets
   somewhere!  Also... that then means extra work to setup
   different sysctl settings based upon install-disk...

But thats' only my thoughts...

It would be good to get this sorted-out properly...  But I don't
   know what other information is needed.  I guess the problem is
   not information.. in this world of information-overload ;-).

If Ubuntu networking team, don't want to change the setting, they
   don't want to change the setting... puzzling...

On Fri, 12 Sep 2008, Kees Cook wrote:
 Enabling syncookies disables TCP window scaling[1],

I think this is incorrect as-stated  But this should be
  confirmed/proved/disproved.

As far as I have found out elsewhere, the syn-cookies support
  in Linux is adaptive, and does NOT come into play unless
  there is an overflow of SYN_RECVD ...

I.e. tcp window scaling DOES work with syncookies=1 -- just
  not when there is a real syn-flood-problem ... but...
  if syncookies was not enabled, such a connection would
  likely not succeed at all!  -- what is better? ;-).
  (but --see below -- situation is now different with latest
  kernel!)


 and in most situations,
 existing SYN-flood protections in the kernel
 already address most sorts of those attacks.

What are these 'existing SYN-flood protections'
  and how do they work?

Inceasing the backlog is simply increasing a finite limit --
  randomly dropping SYN_RECVD entries also makes syn-flooding
  slightly less effective relateve to forged-syn-traffic -- but
  -- it still should not actually take much traffic to overload
  the finite limits on SYN_RECVD thereby making new legitimate
  connections unlikely to succeed.

The crptographic cookie approach avoids the need for the syn
  packet backlog... and stops the repetition of syn+ack
  packehs in those cases.


 In some situations (perhaps like what alecm3 was experiencing)
 there are situations it might be needed,
I suspect that... with a busy server with many clients connecting
  a lot and connecting from slow links, it may be necessary to
  raise net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog because of legitimate
  rate/number of such not-yet-completed incoming-connections.


Its' worth reading this article:-
http://lwn.net/Articles/277146/

Seemingly 2.6.26 now supports syncookies on ipv6 too, and
  now supports connections with window-scaling even
  if connection was saved by syncookies.

Rather than having arguments over the value of the setting
  etc... --   How do we get this properly investigated
  and sorted out?
