Bug#1026259: linux: SW RAID to JFS intermittent boot fail with NULL pointer dereference

2022-12-17 Thread Andy Simpkins
Source: linux
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rattusrat...@debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Images testing for SW RAID release 11.6

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
Installation testing option test matrix option #3 with the following
disk partitions

sda1 primary   1GB  B K raid (#1)
sda3 primary  15GBK raid (#0)
sda5 logical   1GBF swap  swap

RAID1 #0 jfs  /
RAID1 #1 ext2 /boot


* What was the outcome of this action?
kernel crash with 
[2.671938] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0028

(console output attached)


* What outcome did you expect instead?
Boot into fresh installed system :-)


* More details

(1) I have demonstrated this to Sledge on MULTIPLE instalations, both
BIOS and UEFI and various degraded RAID configurations.

(2) It appears to be Machine spacific; i.e. Sledge has been unable to
reproduce the problem on his hardware

(3) We have seen the problem on installations of debian 11.5 as well

(4) Occasionally I have been able to get lucky and the system has
booted.  This, coupled with #2 might suggest a race hazard / timing
issue?

Sorry

Sorry to put a dampener on your suggestion but why would you need that?

Why not just mirror the archive to a local disk instead?

Then you have your copy of everything and can just point a netinst at your 
local mirror so you can install from there.

I think that would deliver on every use case that you would be able to use your 
big ISO image and more



Bug#996000: general: System does not boot with second monitor attached

2021-10-09 Thread Andy Simpkins

Control: Severity -1 normal



Package: general
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: gaff...@live.com

Dear Maintainer,

I installed Debian 11 on a new computer (with a single monitor during 
installation, connected with HDMI).

Installation went well, but the monitor came up with a very limited resolution 
(1024x768, I think).


That isn't surprising, the installer (DI) will try and use only a minimum set 
of possible configurations, in order to function with most hardware it 
encounters

After a bit of googling, I found that the drivers for the Intel graphics on this board (Rocket Lake, UHD 750) were not 
included in the 5.10 kernel that came with Debian Bullseye.  I installed kernel 5.14 from Debian Testing, and that seemed to 
solve the issue - I got full resolution (still with a single monitor attached).


Ack that sounds about right to me too:  AFAICT Rocket Lake, UHD 750 is not yet 
officially supported in the linux kernel; i915 series has a generic driver, but 
not with full support for all devices in the series
this is perhaps a bit too new, and you may have to wait a while for the kernel 
drivers to arrive. [0]

 


Taking the system into use as my main system, I set it up with two monitors, one connected with an HDMI cable, one with a 
DVI cable.  (Both monitors are Benq 24 inch 1920x1080.)



Booting the system, it hangs during boot, with a message "VMC (outside TXT) disabled 
by bios".


This is stating that that you haven't enabled 'Intel virtualization technology' 
- this should have no effect on the graphic driver support, you would need to 
enable this if you want to run Virtual Machines.



Booting the system with only the HDMI-connected monitor attached works as expected, the system completes the boot sequence, 
I can log in and use the system.


Attaching the second monitor after boot also works, both monitors are 
recognized and works
As a workaround, I tried enabling "Intel virtualization technology" in the BIOS.  Booting with both monitors attached, there 
is no longer any error message, but the system still hangs during boot (with a blank screen).


I would expect the system to boot also with two monitors attached.


I would expect this as well - but until there is official support in the kernel 
for your new hardware then I am afraid that you may have to put up with only 
connecting the monitor after boot.

Trying newer, back ported kernels, when they become available, is probably your 
best bet.  You could try watching the kernel.org releases looking specifically 
for the mentions of i915, Rocket Lake, or UHD 750 beforue you try [1]


Very best wishes, and good luck with trying new kernels when they arrive

Bug#989619: task-kde-desktop: Wrong wallpaper installed on clean installation of Bullseye (Desktop & Lock)

2021-06-08 Thread Andy Simpkins
Package: task-kde-desktop
Version: 3.67
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   Testing Weekly builds of DI ready for release  (build 2021-06-07)
   
  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
   ineffective)?
   Clean installation into seporate VMs of all installation
media.  Only
KDE desktop is affected.  All other desktops correctly install and
select the 'Homeworld' wallpaper and lock screens.


   * What was the outcome of this action?
   KDE desktopinstallation had 'shell' as default walpaper and as
   'lockscreen'
   
  * What outcome did you expect instead?
  I expected to see 'Homeworld' as the default wallpaper and lock
screen
- it wasn't 'shell' was set as the default.
Homeworld was installed, just not as the active setting
Login screen correctly showed 'homeworld'


I beleive that this would be an embarissment if we fail to correctly
theme the default desktop on KDE by bullseye release.
Note I have also tested GNOME, XFCE, Gnome FlashBack, Cinnamon, Mate,
LXQt, LXDE all sucessfully.

Bug#973683: some images blacklisted by Google Chrome safe browsing

2020-11-03 Thread Andy Simpkins
Of cause firefox claims that the browser is working as intended and this is 
correct behavior (relying on the Google safe browsing API)
Google on the other hand don't provide a working, reliable method to resolve 
their proprietary API database issues.  
Perhaps it is time to push for the feture to be removed from firefox or carry a 
local patch because I struggle to see how we are going to get a usable solution 
other than replacing mirrors with our own dedicated CDN.

Bug#941333: Wifi network detection during installation. Suggested improvement.

2019-09-28 Thread Andy Simpkins
Right now you would get a "no network device found" / "no netwirk found" / 
"unable obtain an IP address" message.

Is this not sufficiant?

You are given the option to go back and try again.  Please remember that it is 
also possible that no wifi device wiuld have been detected either.

Lets face it if you do happen to have a wifi adapter that has been detected (or 
you have loaded non free firmware for) and it does not detect the network AND 
offer you any other wifi ssid to pick from, then you are already going to 
notice that somthing isn't right.

A clean chroot build does not reproduce this bug pulls in:

Possibly a regression in whatever library this calls in, as these tests

Upsteam has sime activity - an a yearly(ish) basis.

This will need more experienced C++ / QT / Archaeologist skills than we

Bug#872635: util-linux: FTBFS on armel: test failure

2019-03-09 Thread Andy Simpkins
I have had a look at this as part of the Cambridge BSP 2019-03-09

I am able to reproduce this 'bug', on multiple architectures  the
following is copy/paste from buster on my AMD64 laptop :-p

Simply running the test by hand
Assuming you have a working / reliable resolver / untainted cache then
the command succeeds:


../util-linux-2.33.1/tests/ts/utmp$ last -f wtmp-ipv6.LE -d  root
IPv6 root a.root-servers.n Wed Aug 28 21:30 - 21:40  (00:10)

wtmp-ipv6.LE begins Wed Aug 28 21:30:40 2013




../util-linux-2.33.1/tests/ts/utmp$ last -f wtmp-ipv6.LE -w -d root
IPv6 root a.root-servers.net Wed Aug 28 21:30 - 21:40  (00:10)

wtmp-ipv6.LE begins Wed Aug 28 21:30:40 2013




../util-linux-2.33.1/tests/ts/utmp$ last -f wtmp-ipv6.LE -a -d root
IPv6 root Wed Aug 28 21:30 - 21:40  (00:10)
a.root-servers.net

wtmp-ipv6.LE begins Wed Aug 28 21:30:40 2013







causing a failure can be done simply by unplugging the machine from the
network, thus...

../util-linux-2.33.1/tests/ts/utmp$ last -f wtmp-ipv6.LE -d root
IPv6 root dns-server   Wed Aug 28 21:30 - 21:40  (00:10)

wtmp-ipv6.LE begins Wed Aug 28 21:30:40 2013



../util-linux-2.33.1/tests/ts/utmp$ last -f wtmp-ipv6.LE -w -d root
IPv6 root dns-server   Wed Aug 28 21:30 - 21:40  (00:10)

wtmp-ipv6.LE begins Wed Aug 28 21:30:40 2013



/util-linux-2.33.1/tests/ts/utmp$ last -f wtmp-ipv6.LE -a -d root
IPv6 root Wed Aug 28 21:30 - 21:40  (00:10) dns-server

wtmp-ipv6.LE begins Wed Aug 28 21:30:40 2013



From this I conclude that the test itself is poor - it is assuming that
there is a consistently good network / resolver for the duration of the
test, something that can not be assumed to always be true. Theoretically
glitches can happen anywhere, at any time.

Question.  What is the purpose of these 3 specific tests?
 If we are confirming that 'last' is formatting output in the manor
specified by the switches then the tests are successful:  the reported
output may contain EITHER a.root-servers.net XOR dns-server
If we are testing that the lookup has happened then it is perfectly
acceptable that it will not be possible due to a transitory network
failure.  this does not mean that last itself is not working correctly
only that this test did not PASS (i.e. !PASS is not the same as FAIL)

Maybe remove/disable the test, or add retries? Maybe add detection for a
timeout failure and simply return a different value to warn about this?

Bug#919826: - update

2019-01-20 Thread Andy Simpkins
Follow up following more investigation

I have since re-installed my system (again from DI beta4).

I have reconfirmed that yes following an upgrade after the install the
system still fails to boot.

However at Sledge's suggestion (and with his help) I reverted to the
versions of grub that are included on the DVD set of DI beta 4

that is to say I followed the following steps:
1) reboot failed system using USB stick containing image
   debian-buster-DI-alpha4-arm64-DVD-1.iso

2) mount the partition on my hard disk for
/
/boot
/boot/efi

3) downgrade grub2 to the versions found on
   debian-buster-DI-alpha4-arm64-DVD-1.iso   i.e.

   dpkg -i grub-efi-arm64-bin_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb\
grub-efiarm64_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb\
grub2-common_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb \
grub-common_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb

4) reboot

At this point I am able to correctly start both my old kernel (found on
DI beta4 - Linux 4.18.0-3-arm64) and the current Buster kernel image
(Linux 4.19.0-1-arm64)

Conclusion:
I have wrongly attributed this bug to the kernel - it should be re
assigned to grub2

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 10.0-1+deb9u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Following the upgrade to stretch sound on my system has stopped
working correctly.  Instead of normal sounding playback, all audio now
plays back slower than it should.

This feels like it could be a sample rate issue.  The only speakers on
my system are on my monitors and derive their audio over display port.
As part of the Squeeze upgrade I am aware that my Graphic Card drivers
got changed from the 'non-free ATI drivers to the recommended FLOSS
driver so it could be something there...


Could you try with the trivial resampler? That should rule out the
resampler as a source of the slowness.

The driver change sounds a lot more likely to be the cause. Could you
try booting with the jessie kernel to see if the slowness goes away?
Also relevant, is the slowness present when playing to any output, or
only on one (HDMI, internal, etc)?

Another avenue to try is to set default-fragment-size-msec to some
very high value, like 250ms.



Hi Again

Sorry for the long time to respond, I needed to get time with someone who knows 
what they are doing so they can sit with me (many thanks Sledge)

OK so we have tried the following:
1) reverted back to the Jessie Kernel with free drivers, and that does not work with sound through the hdmi display port at all (the OLD fglrx catalyst non-free driver was what I used to use in Jessie 
did however work)


2) tested analogue output (PC motherboard) and sound works correctly.

3) moving back to Stretch, 4.9.X kernel and we have also tested using the 
Analogue sound port.  this plays output correctly.

4) switching to hdmi / display port and the sound problem returns

5) when we try playback from different applications we get different results.
Playback through VLC is 'bursty': that is sound plays for a fraction of a second, stops, then starts again having skipped some of a track. playback is also SLOW as previously reported, it sounds like 
VLC might be trying to re-sync.


When using Quod Libet the playback is just slow (without the skipping that VLC 
appears to do to 'resync')

Finally using speaker-test with a 1khz sine output this to my ears also sounds 
off pitch.

6) setting the resample method to trivial has no obvious effect (audio is still 
slow)

7) setting default fragment size to 0.25s only changes the 'chunk' of audio 
duration, playback speed is still slow, and it still pauses and skips before 
playing the next 'chunk' of audio (using VLC)


Many thanks for your help and suggestions, this is now sounding like a driver 
issue.  We'll re-assign this to the appropriate linux-image package I'm using 
and CC the kernel folks too.

Dear kernel folks - sorry, looks like this is your bug (and clearly upstream!).

Cheers

Dear Maintainer,

It would be wonderful if it were possible to explisitly enable

Better still would be to have the ability to have alternate rows with
differant background colour (old school listing style tractor paper)

currently table framing is set as part of the css theme.

2017-01-29 Thread Andy Simpkins
Hi,

it has been a while since there has been any activity against this bug.
it is marked as grave, this means that it is Release Critical for Stretch.

I have just run Cyril's md-mirror-resync-broken-v2.sh script on a
machine running stretch rc1 (Linux debian 4.4.0-2amd64 #1 SMP Debian
4.8.15-2 (2017-01-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux)  and this reports
Ok, bug not found

I guess that means that the regression of this bug is now fixed...

Bug#790796: sensord

2017-01-29 Thread Andy Simpkins
Hi there,

Back in August *2015* there was a short discussion regarding removing
sonsord from lm-sensors as a result of this bug.

Because it is marked as GRAVE, this bug is release critical for Stretch.

Is this really a grave bug, should it be down graded?  Can Sensord be
removed?  Is there another option?

It seams to me that if you depend on the structure of a file that
changes you could simply re-initialise sensord passing it the new structure.

However I suspect that I am trivialising the underlying issue...

Well Paul you are entirely correct. 
Would you believe that pretty much everyone here missed that one -

OK so what does that mean?

Bug#795055: Any progress or updates?

2017-01-29 Thread Andy Simpkins
Hi Anibal,


It has been a long time since we last caught up!
As part of the Cambridge BSP this weekend [1] I have been looking at
lisence violations such as the one in this bug that is marked as RC.

It is my understanding that there is no problems with the "All rights
reserved" statement included in many of the files without then including
the 3-clause BSD licence text as there is no requirement (only a
recommendation) for licences to appear inside each file only an
overriding external licence text.  This is present.

HOWEVER

Dmitry also points out that there are several files with 4-Clause BSD
licences explicit within them, namely:
 src/crypt_client.c
 tirpc/rpcsvc/crypt.x

As Dmitry points out that this is non-DFSG compliant, so it is these two
files that are the cause for concern


This bug was raised August 2015, and I have not been able to find any
activity since.  Do you have a plan of how to deal with this issue prior
to the release of Stretch?

Hi Ted,

I am currently sat at the Cambridge BSP looking at Debian RC bugs [1].

Looking at this bug report we believe that on balance the best course of
action would be to remove lib/et/test_cases/imap_err.et from e2fsprogs.
As you have offered to do this in your capacity as "upstream" [2]
may we please ask you to do this at your earliest opportunity.
Would you mind performing this as an atomic operation as this would make
the process of freeze exception straight forwards.

Many thanks in advance,

Bug#665334: non-DFSG & Type 1 Postscript embedded fonts

2017-01-29 Thread Andy Simpkins
Hi Karen,

At the Cambridge BSP (Jan 27/28 2017) we have been looking at the
following bugs pertaining to non-DFSG compliance with fonts embedded
with non-free code:
 * http://bugs.debian.org/665334
 opened 23 Mar 2012, last update 01 Aug 2016 modulo spam
 * http://bugs.debian.org/694320
 opened 25 Nov 2012, last update 30 Aug 2014
 blocked by #665334
 * http://bugs.debian.org/694323
 opened 25 Nov 2012, last update 30 Aug 2014
 blocked by #665334

Synopsis:
  Type 1 fonts that are made using the package FontForge include font
hinting code which is marked "copyright Adobe all rights reserved".
This issue logically extends to every package that contains fonts that
have been made using FontForge.

Current State
  Reading #665334 it appears that FontForge historically contained
fragments of code with Adobe asserted rights.  We believe that this is
now resolved with "autohint code is now all open source".  The github
repo is top licensed Apache 2.0  [1]

  It is our belief that this is sufficient; that the package FontForge,
and type 1 fonts generated by this package are now DFSG compliant
because Apache 2.0 is GPL2+ compatible.

* Is our understanding of the above correct? i.e. Does the github
repository top-licensing (to Apache) of the Adobe 'hinting' properly apply?

* Are the font hinting fragments, that are Adobe copyright, embedded
into fonts produced in FontForge, the same code as in the above
repository (we *think* that this is the case)?

* Thus, are these fonts (generated by the above) now covered by Apache 2.0?

* And, consequently: are the fonts in the Debian archive, produced by
FontForge, now to be considered under Apache 2.0; and is this sufficient
to cover the embedded fragments under Apache 2.0?

Assuming the above is all correct then, in order to resolve this issue,
we believe that all packages that contain fonts that are generated using
FontForge should contain an appropriate licence text for the font.  A
Mass bug filing could then be made against these packages requesting the
appropriate update to the licence file.


However we see this a potential minefield, and therefore seek
clarification and advice before we continue.

Hi Salvo,

I am looking back though open bugs at the moment and see that the mail

with people suggesting that this has now gone away.

Have you seen this?

Have recent updates fixed the problem for you?

If so can you please respond and we can close off the bug.  If not can

Bug#773400: USB

2015-05-28 Thread Andy Simpkins

Hi Vagrant,

I see from your Bug report that USB isn't working on your BBB.
I also see that you have a revision B or earlier BBB (Rev C moved to 4GB 
eMMC).


In revision A6A, amongst other things that changed, was capacitor C106.  
This needs to be 1uF (although my testing suggests slightly higher would 
be better still).  It affects the USB system start up, and without it 
hot plug just does not work.


Can you please check that you are using a revision B or greater revision 
of the BeagleBone Black.

THE FIX:
The definition HAVE_LINUX_GPIO is used to set PIN_MAX between either 31
(default) or 255, however it is called HAVE_LINUXGPIO in the rest of the
codebase.

pindefs.h:62
  #ifdef HAVE_LINUX_GPIO
becomes

I use a custom config file: lwb-avrdude.conf

type  = linuxgpio;
reset = ~45;
sck   = 2;

Bug#707004: upgrade-reports: sysklogd removed when upgrading from squeeze to wheezy (system existed under lenny) NO log deamon installed to replace it

2013-05-06 Thread Andy Simpkins
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

As part of the upgrade to Wheezy, sysklogd got removed.  There was no
replacement log system installed in its place.

The system was origanlly installed under Lenny, before an upgrade squeeze.  This
means that rsyslogd was not installed on the system.

To reproduce this:
1) Create a squeeze chroot with standard debootstrap
2) install sysklogd manually
3) Change apt.sources to wheezy
4) apt-get update
5) apt-get dist-upgrade OR apt-get initscripts

(sysklogd was removed from wheezy due to an RC bug)

Suggested fix could be to install a transitional package into wheezy
proposed updates called sysklogd at a version sufficient for the
Breaks: given in init-scrpts in wheezy, letting this package Depends:

Bug#699092: kwalletmanager multiple wallets / default wallet

2013-01-27 Thread Andy Simpkins
Package: kwalletmanager
Severity: normal
Version: 4:4.8.4-3
forwarded: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286768

Scope
Affects KDE systems with more than one wallet

Description
When selecting the default wallet (or a different wallet for local passwords - 
they both perform in the same way) the drop down box is populated with the 
same number of wallets you have, but the options consist of all of the wallets 
listed in alphabetical order however listitem[0] is shown with the same name 
as listitem[1].  i.e. all of the wallets are shown in alphabetical order 
EXCEPT the first wallet in the list which is shown the same as the 2nd.

Selecting the first wallet in the list has the same effect as selecting the 2nd 
wallet i.e. listitem[0] and listitem[1] have the same effect.


It is not possible to select the first wallet (in alphabetical order)

Example:
create three wallets in the system  in this sequance:
C_test
B_test
A_test

It will not be possibel to make the A_test wallet the default wallet.
The dropdown box will show (in this order)
B_test
B_test
C_test


Let us select the first B_test as the default wallet

Mow delete C_test and B_test wallets

It is still not possible to make A_test the default wallet

Rebooting the system will now cause the system to create a wallet called 
B_test  and you still can not select A_test as your default wallet.  to do 
so you will need to create a wallet of lower alphabetical order i.e 'A'

You can now select the default wallet as A_test and then delete the wallet A

Bug#699094: UPGRADE-REPORTS: Squeeze to Wheezy KDE WiFi managment

2013-01-27 Thread Andy Simpkins
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

When upgrading from squeeze to wheezy WiFi stopped working.  
This was because the KNetworkManager has been dropped, and replaced with 
Plasma-widget-networkmanagment.  

Adding the new network managment widget into the system tray enabled wireless 
networking to finction again, however the upgrade probably should have migrated 
to the new widget automaticly

Recomendation - an advisory note be genorated for the release notes to warn 
about the possible loss of wireless networking in KDE and how to resolve the 
issue.

Bug#669878: Reproduced 669878 - Could not perform immediate configuration on 'phonon-backend-vlc'

2013-01-25 Thread Andy Simpkins
Ran into this problem today at the cambridge BSP when performing a 
dist-upgrade from squeeze.

again the reported problem was:

E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'phonon-backend-vlc'. Please 
see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.

I performed apt-get upgrade as reccomended then tried dist-upgrade again still 
failing with the same error

I got out of the problem by 
apt-get install apt initramfs-tools nfs-common
where initramfs-tools nfs-common were required to be upgraded because of 
increased dependancy requirements.

I guess this doesn't help resolve the bug, but at least shows that it is 
reproduceable.

BR
Andy

NOTE: CC'd to debian-release at request of JMW as this will affect dist-
upgrades for kde users

Debian policy is packages should provide a watch file where possible.
having looked through the package the attached watchfile appears
sufficiant for the current version.

Please consider including it.

Bug#548389: additional information

2010-04-04 Thread Andy Simpkins
I performed similar task  (dist upgrade to squeeze) and ended up with the 
chain loader (what I wanted).

the chain loader to grub 2 worked just fine, I was happy with the operation of 
grub2, everything appeared to work correctly (all boot options checked out), 
so followed the option to remove grub-legacy

upgrade-from-grub-legacy

after which system failed to boot, no menu options where prescented
Problem resolved by booting from a live CD, chroot to my linux partition then 

grub-instal /dev/sda


Sorry can't remember exact grub error message...


8---

Additional:
having run grub 2 for about a week now the bootloader failed again.  this time 
Grub 2 would start but would inform me that it couldn't find any installed 
modules, continuing would prescent the usual BIOS can't find system disk error

Adian ruuning 

grub-instal /dev/sda

appears to have recovered the system, and I once again have my boot options 
for a few kernels, 'doze and 'doze re-install on the lappy.

Andy

Did you submit this bug upstream?

Can you please provide me with some more information so that I can attempt to

Bug#532331: bwm-ng: reported average speeds become 'nan'

2009-06-08 Thread Andy Simpkins
Package: bwm-ng
Version: 0.6-2
Severity: normal

When monitoring bandwidth averaged over 30s, after a while transfer
speeds reported change to 'nan'.  This doesn't effect reported rate or
max rate (sorry I din't check if sum reports correctly).  Suspect a
variable 'wrapping' to a negative value

Regards

Andy
