Bug#827665: systemd goes into timeout while waiting for local-fs.target

[Eugenio 'g7' Paolantonio]

Package: live-config-systemd
Version: 5.20160608
Tags: patch

Hello,

The After=local-fs.target rule introduced in commit 63ab809 made systemd
go in timeout while waiting for the local-fs target to be reached.

This is due to the fact that the Before= rule in the live-config unit
prevents the startup of udev.

I'm not raising severity on this one because I suspect this only happens
on installed environments, where live-config-systemd is largely useless.
But still, it shouldn't break the boot process in this way.

I'm attaching a small patch that resolves the problem for me, also
available as a git commit at [1].

I unfortunately haven't had the time to test it in a live environment.


Regards,
Eugenio

Subject: [PATCH] [backend] systemd: do not try to launch live-config before
 udev

The After= rule introduced in 63ab809 made things go in timeout
as udev won't be started before the local-fs target.

Bug#728527: openbox-xdg-autostart is executed twice

[Eugenio 'g7' Paolantonio]

Package: openbox
Version: 3.5.2-4
Tags: patch

It seems that this ([1]) patch makes openbox execute
openbox-xdg-autostart twice, as openbox-xdg-autostart is already
executed by
openbox-autostart.

I'm attaching a simple patch that fixes the issue, by removing the
openbox-xdg-autostart call from openbox-autostart.


Kind regards,
Eugenio

Bug#726156: latest APT breaks InstallProgress

[Eugenio 'g7' Paolantonio]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.8.9.1

Hello,


It seems that the latest APT update breaks the base python-apt
InstallProgress, as some package names in the status stream also feature
the package architecture (packagename:arch).

This is the produced traceback:

Bug#697146: xserver-xorg script forces vboxvideo even if virtualbox guest additions are not installed

[Eugenio 'g7' Paolantonio]

Package: live-config
Version: 3.0.15-1
Tags: patch

The xserver-xorg script is forcing the 'vboxvideo' driver on virtualbox
even if the guest additions (virtualbox-guest-x11 package) are not
installed. This leads to X not starting on live systems without that
package.

The attached simple patch should resolve the issue (still not tested, I
will do in the coming hours).

 This is horribly wrong.  You're poking dpkg-internal paths with some
 assumptions about which package contains the driver, for something which
 seems entirely unnecessary because you could just let Xorg do its
 driver-selection job.
 
 Cheers,
 Julien

The same script is poking dpkg-internal paths several lines before to
check for the xserver-xorg package.
The vboxvideo driver is contained into the virtualbox-guest-x11 package.

Xorg does not do its driver-selection job because the driver (via a file
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d) is forced, so when X does not find it, it exits.

Eugenio

 See the live-config man page. So far as I can see, it only does this if
 you use the xorg-driver boot parameter. By default, Xorg *is* allowed to
 do its job. If xorg-driver is set by the user and it's blowing up, I
 consider that user error.
 
 Ben
 
The autodetecting mentioned into the live-config man page refers to
the xserver-xorg script and not Xorg itself.

If the xorg-driver boot parameter is blank, the script tries to detect
the driver by looking at the PCI ID of the graphic card, see the code ([0]).

When it finds the PCI ID of the vbox graphic card, it wrongly assumes
that the vboxvideo driver is installed, which it may not be true.

Then it creates (or an already created configuration file is copied) a
file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d which basically forces X to load that driver.

If the package containing vboxvideo is not installed, obviously X does
exit because the driver listed into the configuration file is not installed.

Eugenio

Bug#645116: lb_chroot_local_preseed broken

[Eugenio 'g7' Paolantonio]

Package: live-build
Version: 3.0~a35-1

Hi,

It seems that lb_chroot_preseed tries to copy preseeds from a directory
called 'chroot_preseed', instead of 'preseed', thus broking the application
of the settings.

No problem.

 Different topic, are you interested in a co-maintaining this package? The

I use openbox daily and have some skill in Debian packaging. However, I'm

So I'd gladly help you.

Bug#638783: please update to 3.5.0

[Eugenio g7 Paolantonio]

Package: openbox
Version: 3.4.11.2-2

Openbox 3.5.0 has been released and it is coming with some new features, as
well as many bug fixes.
I managed to get a working 3.5.0 package for my distribution, so I'm sharing
the diff between the current 3.4.11.2-2 and the source package of 3.5.0
updated by me.

These are the changes I've made:

  * New upstream release
  * debian/patches:
- Disabled 03_place_windows_in_quadrants.patch
- Updated 01_rc.xml.patch and 06_fix_swap_byte_order.patch
- Removed 04_fix_ftbfs_no-add-needed.patch and 20_24bits_support.patch
  * debian/control:
- Build-Depends: removed libxau-dev, libxft-dev and python-xdg;
  added libimlib2-dev
- openbox Suggests: added python-xdg
- libobrender21 renamed to libobrender27
- libobparser21 renamed to libobt0
  * debian/rules:
- Rewrote using a simpler debhelper syntax
- Moved the install pass to openbox.install
  * debian/*.{install,links,dirs}:
- Updated.
  * debian/openbox.xsession:
- Removed. Openbox now ships it by default.

The removed patches (04_fix_ftbfs_no-add-needed.patch and
20_24bits_support.patch) are not needed anymore -- see [1] and [2].
I've tried to port the disabled patch (03_place_windows_in_quadrants.patch)
to 3.5.0 but without success. Also, I see that the Ubuntu maintainer has
made the same thing [3].

Thank you in advance for considering my patch,
Ciao,
Eugenio

Bug#633356: live-build: use LB_APT_SECURE too when bootstrapping system

[Eugenio 'g7' Paolantonio]

Package: live-build
Version: 3.0~a23-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Due to a recent change in debootstrap (#560038), it now validates archives' 
signatures by default.
This is a problem if we are installing (for example) from a local mirror which 
hasn't the Release.gpg file.

The --no-check-gpg option has been added to override this (#624229).

I made a small patch to use that option if LB_APT_SECURE is false.

Ciao,
Eugenio
