[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1714787] Re: Launching chocolate-doom or prboom-plus crashes Wayland session
Can you try either prboom or chocolate-doom with the '-nofullscreen' command-line option? My hunch is the problem is related to trying to change the display resolution whilst entering fullscreen mode. It's likely actually an SDL1 bug.

Bug#736327: archivemail: feature request: delete empty mailbox after archiving
Package: archivemail Version: 0.9.0-1 Severity: wishlist A nice feature would be to delete mailboxes from which you are archiving if, after archiving, there's no mail left in the source mailbox. I had a browse around the archivemail source and I guess the nicest way to achieve this would be if the 'mailbox' python library had support for this, say a method 'remove()' for a mailbox object. I tried a preliminary monkey-patch that added such methods to the Maildir and mbox sub-classes, but I haven't done all the other myriad esoteric mailbox types, and if there's any hope of the python standard library accepting such a patch it would have to be for the whole lot. (as an aside, the semantics of deleting Maildir mailboxes are pretty bad too. However they've already crossed that bridge since mailbox.Maildir has remove_folder for sub-Maildirs) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9.2-x86-linode51 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages archivemail depends on: ii python 2.7.3-4+deb7u1 ii python2.6 2.6.8-1.1 ii python2.7 2.7.3-6 archivemail recommends no packages. archivemail suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Jonathan Dowlandjmtd.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

[Bug 1174635] [NEW] gnome-shell Power Off menu item confusing, incongruous with GDMs
Public bug reported: Hi, gdm 3.6.1-0ubuntu4 gnome-shell 3.6.3.1-0ubuntu6 When logged into GNOME 3, the right-hand menu has an item Power Off at the bottom. Clicking it brings up a context menu which gives you the option of logging out or suspending as well. This is confusing as the menu item does not end with an ellipsis, which is the traditional way of indicating that a menu item leads to further options (e.g. Power Off…) When you are not logged in and are instead facing the GDM login screen, you have the same menu (albeit with a power off icon instead of the logged in user's name). However this time Power Off does just that with no prompts. I think the logged-in version should be qualified with an ellipsis to indicate that it offers further choices. This would draw a distinction between the different behaviours the item has when logged in or not. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174635 Title: gnome-shell Power Off menu item confusing, incongruous with GDMs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1174635/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Bug#700620: [Openstack-devel] Bug#700620: Bug#700620: Bug#700620: Rewriting the .ini parsing bit of openstack-pkg-tools
Hi, I saw this bug and I got a bit concerned. I'm a likely user of the openstack packages in Debian — well I/we could be, if they fit our needs — but I'm really worried that they are going to be vastly over-engineered. In a way it reminds me of the exim4 packages: the situation is not entirely analogous, since exim4 is installed for all Debian users, and the debconf harness does a good job of simplifying the complex job of configuring exim4 for the complete novice. But as soon as you want to actually deploy a real mailserver, the debconf stuff gets in the way, so much so that everyone I know who runs exim4 as a mailserver on Debian quickly overrides the debconf stuff altogether. I don't want to see the same situation in Debian. Let's not fall into the trap of thinking that the openstack packages need to be simplified for the complete novice. The complete novice will not be deploying a cloud infrastructure. There's no point in writing large, complex postinst scripts, debconf configuration etc. to try and avoid the sysadmin from editing a text file, if they are inevitably going to have to edit the text file anyway. History has shown that you just introduce an order of magnitude of complexity, a load of expertise needed to properly drive openstack in Debian which will not be transferrable or useful to any other context, and things which will get in the way for people who are used to openstack elsewhere and are caught out by Debian-specific hand holding. And so either people will have to work around your harness, or use 3rd party openstack packages, or (worse) avoid Debian as a serious platform for this stuff altogether. I really think Julien is right re the debconf sequencing stuff you seem to be worried about. As a user, if I'm installing openstack by hand, then I have no problem if the debconf questions come in two lumps. It's quite likely some of your dependencies will force this situation anyway, outside of your control.

Bug#700620: [Openstack-devel] Bug#700620: Bug#700620: Bug#700620: Rewriting the .ini parsing bit of openstack-pkg-tools
Hi, I saw this bug and I got a bit concerned. I'm a likely user of the openstack packages in Debian — well I/we could be, if they fit our needs — but I'm really worried that they are going to be vastly over-engineered. In a way it reminds me of the exim4 packages: the situation is not entirely analogous, since exim4 is installed for all Debian users, and the debconf harness does a good job of simplifying the complex job of configuring exim4 for the complete novice. But as soon as you want to actually deploy a real mailserver, the debconf stuff gets in the way, so much so that everyone I know who runs exim4 as a mailserver on Debian quickly overrides the debconf stuff altogether. I don't want to see the same situation in Debian. Let's not fall into the trap of thinking that the openstack packages need to be simplified for the complete novice. The complete novice will not be deploying a cloud infrastructure. There's no point in writing large, complex postinst scripts, debconf configuration etc. to try and avoid the sysadmin from editing a text file, if they are inevitably going to have to edit the text file anyway. History has shown that you just introduce an order of magnitude of complexity, a load of expertise needed to properly drive openstack in Debian which will not be transferrable or useful to any other context, and things which will get in the way for people who are used to openstack elsewhere and are caught out by Debian-specific hand holding. And so either people will have to work around your harness, or use 3rd party openstack packages, or (worse) avoid Debian as a serious platform for this stuff altogether. I really think Julien is right re the debconf sequencing stuff you seem to be worried about. As a user, if I'm installing openstack by hand, then I have no problem if the debconf questions come in two lumps. It's quite likely some of your dependencies will force this situation anyway, outside of your control. If I've mastered deployment and I'm rolling out more openstack nodes, I will definitely be using debconf preseeding or post-facto fixups via puppet, there's no way I'd do any more than the first one (as a learning experience) by hand and surely anyone else who is looking at deploying a cloud infrastructure would do the same? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Cost of packages in disk space?
For simple per-package results, dpigs from debian-goodies gives you what you want (and is little more than a one-liner similar to what was posted by another to this thread, internally.) As for cumulative space, what you want is not how much space a package takes up but to answer the question: for a given set of package operations, what space will be occupied/freed? In my experience, firing up aptitude, programming in the proposed change (removals or additions) and hitting 'go' once, gives you the space changes that would result if you hit 'go' a second time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Then why bother discussing packaging Go if it isn't going to be packaged, it's just going to invent it's own little ghetto in /usr/local? That seems pretty perjorative. The reason Go has invented it's own little ghetto is to solve the distribution problem. The reason they want to solve it is because, despite our best efforts, we haven't solved it. Pretending we have done helps nobody. From Go's perspective, we are a bit player. There's a pattern of misplaced arrogance and pride that permeates -devel from time to time whenever difficult integration discussions come up (systemd included) that really doesn't help. Let's not overstate our importance in the wider world, it does not help us one bit. Step by step we'll just close our doors to the rest of the Universe and slide further into irrelevance. If Go wants to be packaged, it complies by the requirements of packaging. Go doesn't want anything: It's a programming language and environment, not a sentient being. The authors of Go are probably not that bothered about it being packaged, seeing as they've put energy into solving the distribution problem themselves, at the same time making it more difficult to distribution-package. The people who want to see it packaged are people who want to see Debian users be able to conveniently interact with Go-land. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

And in particular, where a problem cannot be solved in pure Debian, I don't want Debian to interfere with the bit of the solution that lives outside of its domain. That may include not attempting to package/patch/alter/adjust upstream systems like Go that have a different philosophical approach. The worst case scenario IMHO is some people invest a lot of time to make the Debianized-Go stuff quite divergent from upstream, people's expectations of how things behave in Go-land are broken when they access Go-via-Debian, the job is never quite complete and so we get extra bugs, and a new upstream community relationship is marred. This is a much worse outcome than not attempting to package Go at all, IMHO.

If I want my haskell libraries and programs to reach a wide audience, I need to learn Cabal anyway. It is not the job of a language developer to invent yet another bloody package distribution and installation system. And yet they do, and so we need to manage it. Remember that Debian does not just provide a package management system: it also provides repositories and dictates what goes in them according to the DFSG. Whilst adding new repositories is relatively simple for users (and growing in popularity for upstreams), installing bare .deb files is still not a very smooth process (although massively improved by e.g. gdebi these days) From an upstream POV, they want their software in the hands of end users. They don't want to have to learn and build a myriad of different package types (.deb, .rpm, etc.) and crucially neither do we. In many cases they don't want to have to wait for a distro to package their software for them either. In the Go case, their users are people who might have a shell/web account but not admin access on a shared host somewhere, running god knows what distro and version, hence having a self-contained fat binary that is guaranteed to run wherever libc is meets their goals. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Btrfs limitations in the Debian installer 7.0 beta4 release
Forwarding this interesting message re d-i feedback and using BTRFS in the installer from -devel. - Forwarded message from Aaron Toponce aaron.topo...@gmail.com - From: Aaron Toponce aaron.topo...@gmail.com Subject: Btrfs limitations in the Debian installer 7.0 beta4 release Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:43:20 -0700 To: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Recently, I decided to put down a Btrfs root on my workstation using the latest release of the installer. I found that given my hardware configuration, this is not possible, and would require using another installer or debootstrap the installation, which is far from ideal. I have two 250 GB drives I would like to put into a RAID-1 mirror. I want Btrfs to handle the RAID, rather than mdadm. It appears that this is not possible in the installer, as when you are at the partitioning screen, it forces you to decide which partition gets mounted to root. Instead, I'll pull up tty2, and manually build the array. Suppose they are identified as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I would like to partition the drives, such that /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 make up the root Btrfs filesystem, and /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 make up a ZFS /home. After partitioning the devices, I run the following command to create the Btrfs RAID: # mkfs.btrfs -d raid1 -m raid1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 # mount /dev/sda1 /target/ Now, I would prefer to have the root into a subvolume. So, I run the following command: # cd /target/ # btrfs subvolume create root # cd # umount /target/ # mount -t btrfs -o defaults,subvol=root /dev/sda1 /target/ Recognize that I am effectively mounting /dev/sda1/root (if such a device actually existed) to /target/, and not /dev/sda1. However, the partitioning utility will not allow me to modify the mount options when specifying which subvolume should be mounted to /. So, if I specify /dev/sda1 to be /, the debian installer will umount /target/ and mount /dev/sda1 /target/ which is not what I want. Further, asside from pulling up a terminal in the installer, there is now way in the partitioning utility to setup Btrfs volumes using multiple devices. You must set that up in tty2 or tty3. (As a tangent gripe, the partitioner will also not allow you to setup an encrypted partition. You must do encrypted volumes with LVM. You can defeat this by again going to a TTY.) Doing a GRUB install on both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb is not a problem, and I can configure GRUB to assemble the Btrfs volume, and I can make the necessary changes to notify the kernel where the root filesystem is. However, all of these require stepping out of the Debian installer, and using another vendor's install, such as Ubuntu or Fedora, to bootstrap it. Again, far from ideal. It would be nice if the partitioning utility allowed the administrator to specify mount options (asside from checkboxes with 'noatime', 'relatime', etc). This way, I could tell the installer to mount the subvolume as root, and not the partition. I can file a feature request, if needed.

So, if you can customize the fallback/classic mode to your tastes, which may involve writing or using extensions, great. If not, you could consider one of the other desktop environments in Debian, or you could use the 3rd party MATE packages which are a fork of the GNOME2 codebase.

They could be bugs in the packaging of systemd, bugs in service files supplied by other packages, or bugs in other daemons that are exposed by running systemd.

Then Ubuntu has significantly less to do... That's a flawed argument. It takes no notice of how big the changes in those 7% of packages might be. And it does not consider packages which do not exist in Debian. That's an even more flawed argument. We're talking about packaging, not development. How do you draw a distinction? Lots of software in Debian and Ubuntu carry lots and lots of patches on top of the code supplied by upstream. Slavko's argument was that Ubuntu rides on the coattails of Debian, but the cited statistic did not include enough information to draw that conclusion. (Personally, I'm suspicious of software and changes that are distribution-specific.) It's considered a good rule of thumb to deviate as little as possible and submit deviations to upstream for inclusion where possible. But it's not always possible. What that 7% statistic really suggests is some combination of: a. Some of those packages are developed by folks who use Ubuntu, and don't get around to releasing a separate package for Debian (or nobody has stepped up to maintain a Debian package). I expect this doesn't matter very much - just as most Debian packages work just fine under Ubuntu, I expect most Ubuntu packages would work just fine under Debian (haven't tried this, though). Slavko phrased it as 'Ubuntu leaves 93 % of packages untouched', which does not imply that packages only existing in Ubuntu and not Debian are considered in that 7%. b. Some small percentage of Debian packages need to be tweaked to accommodate minor differences between the Ubuntu and Debian environments. So 7% of packages are tweaked, but that says nothing about how big the tweaks are, which was my point. Now where the number of users/contributors might really come into play is when it comes to maintaining/developing those aspects of Debian and Ubuntu that are unique to the respective distros (e.g., their installers and package repositories). One of the most important contributions one can make to Debian is to find, diagnose, test and fix bugs. They can exist in any package in the repository, not just those that are OS-specific, or particularly heavily customized in each OS - and how well that process works is directly impacted by the number of users. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

how many users is enough? (was Re: Debian Installer 7.0 Beta4 release)

There needs to be a critical mass; but beyond that point, an increase in numbers is not necessarily beneficial. Agreed for 'mere' users, but another factor is how many users become useful contributors. A conversion rate, if you will. And you can compensate for a poor conversion rate, to a certain extent, by having more users. I think we have a poor conversion rate in Debian, and not enough contributors. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Dying hard drive?
First and foremost, double check that your SATA cables are properly secure. Install smartctl and run smartctl -a /dev/$disk0 (where $disk0 is e.g. sda); check to see if any of the various SMART attributes indicate a problem. Run a short, then a long SMART self test smartctl -t short /dev/$disk0 smartctl -t long /dev/$disk0 Note that long tests take a LONG time, and you might be best leaving it running and not using the disk much at the same time. It is an online test, but it can be noisy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Is that immediately? Do you get a prompt to choose graphical install or text install (or rescue) first? If not, I guess the issue is grub2 failing to draw (it would appear d-i uses grub2 as part of its boot chain nowadays. I'm installing Debian via d-i beta4 as I write, incidentally, on a blank SSD. It's put a GPT table on and an EFI boot partition, w/o there being another OS.) Is there a way for me to install a debian double boot without first reinstalling the windows ? I'm sure we'll find a way :-) (and if someone knows what and how I could report the UEFI boot problems to the D-I team, i'd be glad to give them all info I can).

Re: How to prevent daemons from starting at boot after update?
One option would be to install and use systemd. Afaik with systemd, one can use socket-based activation: that is, systemd listens on the socket that your daemons will use and only starts those daemons if something connects. You may need to manually configure that behaviour, I don't know whether systemd in debian at present uses socket activation for most daemons or not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
