subject:"\[Bug 1022434\] Re\: sshd server crashes on startup"

Some more experiments following a lead about liblsp.so. This was not (as
I thought) part of the core system, but it belongs to the astrill
package, which provides vpn client software.

It so happens I was given a beta version of the client. On the machine
that mysteriously re-started working with sshd I had removed the beta
clent and re-installed an older version.

To confirm, I uninstalled the beta from the 'bad' box, and immediately
found sshd worked straight away on reboot. I reinstalled the older
version of the Astrill client, and sshd continued to work fine.

The problem, therefore, lies in the astrill package (or at least the
beta version I was given). It is not part of the core Ubuntu system, so
I am marking this bug 'invalid'. I will take up resolution with the
software providers.

Hi Michael, I have had problems getting the Ubuntu Apport system to
work, it seems to cut out before uploading the files. It is not just
this bug, either, I have encountered a number of crashes where I go
through the process, and then instead of opening the browser page, nada.

The crash reports I have added here have been manually attached to
emails I sent to this bug report in response to Robie.

You can also do it on this web page. On the right is a box titled 'Bug

[Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

Any idea what /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblsp.so is? This seems to be
related to the crash, but I can't figure out where this comes from. Is
it part of Ubuntu? My search of all files that Ubuntu provides across
all packages is coming up empty. Am I doing something wrong, or is this
a third party library?

I need debugging symbols from this library to understand the crash dump,
but I can't find where to get them since I can't find a package in
Ubuntu that provides it. The only Google hit is
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2013205 which looks like a
similar crash and was fixed by reinstalling, which perhaps removed
liblsp.so?

[Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

It looks like freeaddrinfo is defined in libc.so.6, but on both of your
systems it is being overridden by liblsp.so. Interestingly, this file
isn't versioned, which is a bit odd. Is this LD_PRELOAD in use perhaps?

Is this override intentional, or is this some kind of malware? Or am I
completely missing some other completely innocent reason for this?

[Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

Hi Robie

I think you may be onto something, but I don't have the knowledge to
offer any concrete way forward. I have seen liblsp.so and libc.so.6
repeatedly referred to in the crash reports I am getting, but this could
just be because these libraries are so basic to the system functioning.
AFAIK these are part of the core c libraries used in the kernel, they
are deep in the system.

FYI sshd is now working on one of my computers, but I am equally puzzled
as to why it started working again as to why it failed in the first
place. I completely rebuilt the / partition, but this failed on its own
to get sshd working. However, a few days and many reboots later,
suddenly there it was, working. Possibly something else I downloaded in
the interim made the difference, but it is a mystery what or why.

I have attached my /var/log/apt/history.log from the machine in
question, in case you can make anything of it.

I don't know if this is a related issue, but as referred to in my
message to Michael yesterday, apport or ubuntu-bug does not seem to be
working properly either. This complicates the process of getting you the
data.

** Attachment added: Package history from my computer where sshd is now
mysteriously working.

[Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

This is just a thought, and I have no real evidence, but the problems
started on my systems on or around the time I installed Eclipse and
Python 3.2 to do some exploratory software work, just learning my way
around Python. I also installed Pygame, which had to be compiled and
installed manually to upgrade it to 3.2. Could there be a connection
here?

Since I rebuilt the machine that now works, it has all that stuff re-
installed, so this really is just a speculation.

2012-07-09 Thread Robie Basak

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or
challenging to deal with as a .crash file. Please follow these
instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can
be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the 
crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 
'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is 
the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed 
to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug 
/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Re: [Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

Hi Robie

I have tried doing as you suggest, but the automatic upload of the
information appears not to be working. Possibly this is another symptom
of the same problem. I also tried implementing the upload from the
command line, but the upload failed there, too.

I am attaching TWO crash reports to this email, one from sshd, and one
from dropbear, both generated in the last few minutes.

I have crash reports on my other computer for dropbear and sshd for last
Friday, but the automatic process failed there because I had removed the
packages. Ironically, when I re-installed openssh-server on that machine
to enable reporting of the crashes, it obligingly worked right away.
Whether this is some kind of fluke or what, I cannot say. I went round
the loop purging and re-installing sshd so many times on Friday, all to
no avail.

So, sshd has started working on one of the computers as mysteriously as
it stopped. On the other computer, sshd, dropbear _and_ ubuntu-bug all
seem to have problems. Crash reports are attached, as they failed to
automatically upload.

2012-07-09 Thread Robie Basak

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or
challenging to deal with as a .crash file. Please follow these
instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can
be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the 
crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 
'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is 
the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed 
to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug 
/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Hi Robie

I am attaching TWO crash reports to this email, one from sshd, and one
from dropbear, both generated in the last few minutes.

Hi Robie

Please find attached the crash reports from last Friday, from my other 
computer. One is for sshd, the other for dropbear.

Hi Robie

I have tried doing as you suggest, but the automatic upload of the
information appears not to be working. Possibly this is another symptom
of the same problem. I also tried implementing the upload from the
command line, but the upload failed there, too.

I am attaching TWO crash reports to this email, one from sshd, and one
from dropbear, both generated in the last few minutes.

I have crash reports on my other computer for dropbear and sshd for last
Friday, but the automatic process failed there because I had removed the
packages. Ironically, when I re-installed openssh-server on that machine
to enable reporting of the crashes, it obligingly worked right away.
Whether this is some kind of fluke or what, I cannot say. I went round
the loop purging and re-installing sshd so many times on Friday, all to
no avail.

So, sshd has started working on one of the computers as mysteriously as
it stopped. On the other computer, sshd, dropbear _and_ ubuntu-bug all
seem to have problems. Crash reports are attached, as they failed to
automatically upload.

Best Wishes   Bob Bowles

[Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

This problem started approximately 2 weeks ago. Before  then, both
laptops were using sshd with no problems. I cannot be exact about the
date this started, but this leads me to suspect that a recently-changed
64-bit library package may be at the root.

Also, I have tried using the dropbear package for ssh server, and this
appears to fail in a very similar way.
