Bug#704180: Use p11-kit to replace nssckbi
Hi, Bullseye will be frozen soon. Let's manage to get this sorted out b4 ️. What is the status here. How can I help to get this feature implemented. BTW: I think #926388 is a duplicate BR DI(FH) Holger Fischer, MSc
Bug#926388: let Firefox trust /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
Hi, Bullseye will be frozen soon. Let's manage to get this sorted out ️. I think the maintainable solution to this is to replace (dpkg-divert) libnssckbi.so (/usr/lib//nss/libnssckbi.so) with /usr/lib//pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so if a package p11-kit-trust is installed. The package p11-kit-trust can be built from: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/p11-kit as described here (the package name here is still p11-kit-nssckbi, but that can be changed easily): https://salsa.debian.org/gnutls-team/p11-kit/-/commit/2bc43fb58fc491d2a845a321cadd90a7f33f371e Solution found here: https://salsa.debian.org/gnutls-team/p11-kit/commits/tmp-704180-divertnss taken from bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704180#80 Internet sources which describe the same solution: https://superuser.com/a/1312419 https://www.bachmann-lan.de/linux-mit-eigenen-ssl-zertifikaten-root-ca-installieren/ (In Fedora/Red Hat/etc. it's done this way by default, package name for this is p11-kit-trust) I think this bug report is a duplicate of #704180 BR DI(FH) Holger Fischer, MSc

Hi Bastian, thank you for your quick answer. I split this email in 2 parts. Things belonging to the bug I send to 629...@bugs.debian.org. The answers to the rest I sent to you. . . . Sometimes lm works but after migration machine is not reachable through network anymore. More information. xm network-list --long $domain before and after. Informations about the network setup. Kernel log from the dom0. I will do this this tests, but I have a lot of projects with higher priority at the moment. So please give me some time for that. Mostly lm crashes during migration.

Bug#629253: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Squeeze amd64 PV DOMU live migration fails
Hi Basti, dear maintainers, Google debian squeeze live migration xenserver or debian squeeze \live migration\ citrix. The first results are not bad. Read them through and you get an idea (a few people have ideas how to fix). I tried googling for squeeze domu live migration brought me too much results for Squeeze as DOM0. Possibly debian squeeze live migration \xen cloud platform\ or ...\xcp\ or ...\oraclevm\ or ...\sles\ gives you some good results too. f.e. http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=281439tstart=0 - post 13 Using 2.6.38 from backports is not an option. I'm not allowed to use an unmaintained kernel. Can remember I tested 2.6.38 and remind syslog-ng was not working/segfaulting. I believe if you test live migration yourself on your test HW with Squeeze DOMU (amd64) on a DOM0 of your choice, you'll get similar results.

Bug#629253: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Squeeze amd64 PV DOMU live migration fails
Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-34 Severity: normal Hi, At first I must point out: For me Squeeze is far away from being the best Debian ever. I'm really disappointed from the quality of Debian Squeeze as server OS. I began testing when Squeeze became stable. Too many problems. Much too much time spent on testing, finding errors and fixing/workaround (my boss really loves me now for the work that did not succeed during the last few months). I don't know where to point this problems out at a higher position, because they are more general? Is there a contact to the Debian management where I can ask for more stability and completeness of Debian than for new features (possibly fine for a desktop only distri)? Answering this question would be nice! Our business must have all security fixes within 3 months after release. Also we have 24/7 web services, servers mostly clustered, where every minute downtime really costs money (if downtime is too long it costs existence). We can't stay on Lenny for very long. EOL is coming near. After about half a year Squeeze stable, it is far away from being ready for our production servers. That's why we decided for now to go with a RHEL clone for our new installed productive servers. I will keep an eye on Debian. Once the quality comes backwho knows. A few lines later I describe the problems I had testing Squeeze as XEN DOM0. My install system for Windows (OPSI) our Solaris servers (Jumpstart) and RHEL based distros (Kickstart) still resides on Debian Squeeze. Moving them to another platform is a lot of work. That's why it would be still nice to have a live migrateable Debian Squeeze. Here we go: Sometimes lm works but after migration machine is not reachable through network anymore. Somebody mentioned a cronjob with traffic on vnet-device would help keeping machine reachable through network. Mostly lm crashes during migration. I tested all versions from 2.6.32-30 -- -34. Dom0 is: Choose on - I tested: XCP 1.0 OpenSuse 11.3 with Xen 4.0.1 Debian Squeeze (4.0.1) Squeeze worked most bad as DOM0 and should not be advertised as a working enterprise solution for XEN virtualization: - crashes our dell r7xx servers when using multipath + iscsi or only iscsi - live migration (with a working os's(2008R2 f.e.) as DOMU ) works only 5-6 times then it crashes. f.e. scripted live migration of a 2008R2 and a Lenny DOMU (at the same time) between 2 nodes worked 2 days (DOMUs reachable all the time) with XCP 1.0 (about 230 live migrations each DOMU), then we stopped testing - xend freezes - random reboots of DOM0 due to other reasons that could not be located - lots of scaring error messages when uptime grows but back to live migration problem of Debian Squeeze DOMU's: DomU's are installed with FAI. Lenny with a similar install works just fine when: /proc/cmdline: ... clocksource=jiffies and /etc/sysctl.conf: ...\nxen_independent_wallclock=1\n Live Migration works also fine with Win2008R2 Winxpsp3 ncp 3.0.1 RHEL(PUIAS clone) 5.6 RHEL(PUIAS clone) 6.1 I assume the problem is the Squeeze kernel. -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-34) ** Command line: root=/dev/mapper/vg01-root ro console=tty0 console=hvc0 ** Not tainted ** Model information not available ** Loaded modules: Module Size Used by nls_utf81208 0 isofs 27480 0 loop 11799 0 autofs420805 8 nfsd 254782 13 exportfs3170 1 nfsd nfs 241114 1 lockd 57603 2 nfsd,nfs fscache29834 1 nfs nfs_acl 2031 2 nfsd,nfs auth_rpcgss33476 2 nfsd,nfs sunrpc161541 15 nfsd,nfs,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss btrfs 375670 1 zlib_deflate 17746 1 btrfs crc32c 2560 1 libcrc32c 1074 1 btrfs ext3 106518 1 jbd37085 1 ext3 psmouse49937 0 usbhid 33292 0 hid63257 1 usbhid uhci_hcd 18521 0 ohci_hcd 19343 0 ehci_hcd 32081 0 usbcore 122386 4 usbhid,uhci_hcd,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd nls_base6377 3 nls_utf8,isofs,usbcore dm_crypt 10664 0 snd_pcm60503 0 snd_timer 15582 1 snd_pcm snd46446 2 snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 4598 1 snd snd_page_alloc 6249 1 snd_pcm pcspkr 1699 0 joydev 8459 0 evdev 7352 0 ext4 289033 1 mbcache 5050 2 ext3,ext4 jbd2 67015 1 ext4 crc16 1319 1 ext4 dm_mod 53706 10 dm_crypt raid10 17809 0 raid45644500 0

Is it possibly to assign file image based disks (system) and luks-disk-devices (/dev/mapper/crypt for data) to one instance (at the same time) that runs then as a non HA, non migrateable, no drbd instance/machine. Is it possible to run ganeti2 with HA-iscsi-volumes instead of drbd?

Bug#593276: initramfstools =0.94 not compatible with lenny?
package: initramfs-tools
version: 0.97
Hi there,
last weekend I was testing something with fai, initramfs-tools and
live-initramfs, because I had trouble with netbooting a via vb8001 mb
with a second pcie e1000e card.
My current solution for initramfs-tools is:
- take source code of initramfs-tools_0.93.4-grml02 from
http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/i/initramfs-tools
- revert commit 836e5cf6ddb30757365c2b879b96958c250dcd7b - mkinitramfs:
only copy modprobe conf files
(which was reverted in commit 60e66ab6f7e799ac99e051fd8877f5b54758f454
that's not included in initramfs-tools_0.93.4-grml02),
because it breaks compatibility with lenny.
- compile and make a new version for my local repo
Here's a diff of the source codes of initramfs-tools_0.93.4-grml02 and
my local version:

Furthermore I needed to add an extra functionality to live-initramfs:
Do dhcp in live-initramfs on the nic with the mac-address gotten from
pxelinux BOOTIF parameter (ipappend 2).
I will open an extra bug (wishlist) with a patch attached.
To make a long story short:
My Questions are:
Is this version I prepared/use (0.93.4-grml02~hbpo02) compatible with
lenny (for fai nfsroot !and! the installed machines)? - I get no error
messages when I use it (o:
Is every version of initramfs-tools after commit
553aa3742ca43b4ba4e87b2dea2c5d31cc43a124 - mkinitramfs: generate
pre-cached boot order file (and so also =0.94) incompatible with lenny
(breaks f.e. the plain lenny version of cryptsetup 1.0.6-7,... ?)?
mainly: Am I right or do I miss something? (o:
If so:
Would it make sense to downgrade initramfs-tools shipped with fai repo
of uni koeln?

Bug#587580: linux-source-2.6.32: bonding (ifenslave) does not work with asix based usb-network-adapter (ax88178)
Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hallo,
This patch from git.kernel.org fixes setting of mac address of asix usb-net
adapters,
MAC address setting is needed by ifenslave (mode active/backup).
Without this patch bonding seems to work with my ax88178 based,
but when making this device the active no packets are transmitted.
Switching back to the primary active device (e1000) works - no errors, oops,
panic.
When applying this patch to the current squeeze kernel sources (2.6.32-15),
compiling and installing it, the ax88178 based adapter works as expected in
bonding mode active/backup.
This works also on a lenny system with the backported squeeze kernel.
It would be nice if this patch could be included in squeeze.
P.S. Possibly this is related to bug 444043.
Thanks
Holger Fischer

Bug#487755: #487755 grub2 does not install on boot sector of the current (or a mounted) partition

Bug#487755: grub2 does not install on boot sector of the current (or a mounted) partition
Package: grub2
Version: 1.96+20080621-1
Severity: important
In my mbr I installed gag. It boots from my bootable partitions.
Therfore I install grub in the boot block of a partition I want to boot
from, I find this more sorted. This worked fine for years.
I tried it with some prior version of grub2 (I think 1.96-200805xx) on
my root (like above sda6) as follows:
grub-install /dev/sda6
This does not work. After a lot of tries and some dangerous
grub-install /dev/sda6
grub-install /dev/sda7
dd if=/dev/sda7 of=/dev/sda6 bs=512 count=1
actions I got it to work, but this does not always work. I think that
work's because sda7 is not mounted at this moment. (There's a longer
story behind it with checking the difference of the first 512 bytes of
sda6 and sda7 with vbindiff and finding the right jumppoint to
core.img, if you are interested let me know)
Now I try it always with sda7 by doing
mkdir /1
mount /dev/sda7 /1
grub-install --root-directory=/1 /dev/sda7
umount /1
rmdir /1
when I then do
kvm /dev/sda
(I know this is dangerous because sda6 is mounted as root and kvm does
not check it, but for only trying the bootloader on sda7 I won't destroy
anything on sda6)
the bootloader works flawless
when I reboot and try this from real hardware grub2 stops somewhere in
the beginning with a short message.
When I do kvm /dev/sda after this reboot I get the same message like
from real hardware.
My thoughts:
I think the message I get after reboot is the message from my last
successfull grub2 dd if=.. installation, because the changes that should
have been written to the 1st 512 bytes of sda7 are not written back by
grub-install, they were only cached. This only occurs when the boot
block I want grub2 boot.img install on is actually mounted (I think some
tests I did proved this, the boot sector of the partition stayed the
same after a reboot like before grub-install). Maybe this information
helps you.
There's another thing related to this:
One advantage of grub1 (or grub-legacy) was that you could install it
somewhere and then create or change the grub.conf or menu.lst without
the need of reinstalling grub or a update-grub or grub-setup
With grub2 this does not work. When I change something in the grub.cfg I
must do a grub-setup or update-grub to apply changes. This means, the
grub.cfg is not really used when booting?
Did I do something wrong? Will this always be the behaviour of grub2?
(If yes, then grub2 is a big step back in the evolution of bootloader
software, it behaves like old lilo did and I don't need full size splash
images, I need easy-to-maintain software)

When I connect an ext. sata before next boot my root device becomes /dev/sdb6 and the ext. sata is sda, because the external is connected to sata port 1 on the mainboard and the system disk is connected to sata port 4 on the mainboard. But not today: sda is obvious the external disk and sdb the internal, but mount tells me that sda6 is my root device. gparted tells me that there is no sda6, because my external disk doesn't contain a 6th partition blkid tells me that there is a sda6 and a sdb6 with the same uuid (there should only be sdb6) What could it be related to? Where is that salad from? grub2 (as kernel parameter I give root=UUID=uuid) in my fstab I use UUID=uuid for mounting the root partition These settings woked all the time fine. After a reboot and disconnecting the external sata blkid still shows the partitions of the external disk as if they is still connected, but it's not. I detected this problem today in the morning. I think one of the updates in the last 3 weeks or my switch to grub2 is responsible for that. I know that this bug could be related to some other programs, but I did not know, where to put it elsewhere and blkid showed me something wrong. I think this bug is important, because I and some other admins I know rely on blkid and the device names and given information (in this case the 'unique' UUID) for mounting, deleting, rsyncing or other things, done in scripts (possibly in a cron job), which in this case can cause serious data loss. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.40.11-1 ext2 filesystem libraries ii libblkid1 1.40.11-1 block device id library ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr21.40.11-1 common error description library ii libss21.40.11-1 command-line interface parsing lib ii libuuid1 1.40.11-1 universally unique id library e2fsprogs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#487224: separated the 3 bugs, information for kvm again here
Package: kvm Version: 70+dfsg-1 Followup-For: Bug #487224 I separated the 3 bugs. grub2 - related part can now befound in bug #487755 e2fsprogs/blkid - related part can now befound in bug #487758 The kvm related part of bug.txt can be found here again: Should be the bug title: kvm pxe boot with model=e1000 broken - doesnt recognize DHCP information - fine with model=rtl8139 Description: This worked with kvm prior 70, must be broken somewhere in the last 3 weeks daemon log on dhcp server says dhcpoffer ip to mac mac (or similar) again and again but pxe with e1000 in kvm says .no dhcp information again and again when doing the same with model=rtl8139 all is fine, gets dhcp, gets pxe file, boots when booting linux (not using -boot n in kvm commandline) linux gets ip address as usual with model=e1000 I think problem could be found somewhere in the e1000 boot rom file. Maybe you can cleanup my first 2 posts, cause they confuse everything, I don't know how to do this (Am I not allowed to)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#487224: blkid libblkid
As I explained above I sometimes use an external disk over esata. This disk isn't connected anymore, I rebooted the machine several times, but blkid shows the partitions of the external disk as it's not connected anymore for some reboots __ Jeden Monat 1 hochkarätiger maxdome-Blockbuster GRATIS!

Bug#487224: 3 bugs as free formatted text
Package: kvm Version: 70+dfsg-1 Hello Debian Maintainers, In a short break when waiting for some software tests finishing at work, I wrote this bug report attached as .txt-file out of my head without having my ws at home in front of me. Most information should be correct. Please excuse that I did not use your bug report template or tool. I did not have that much time, but I think your interested, because I found none of these bugs listed somewhere and felled it was my duty to write any kind of report.

Schützen Sie Ihren PC mit McAfee und WEB.DE. 30 Tage kostenlos testen. http://www.pc-sicherheit.web.de/startseite/?mc=00 Hello dear Debian Maintainers, in the last 3 weeks I found some bugs. Here some details to debian and my hardware: Asus m2a-vm (sb600/amd690g) Athlon be2350 8g ram ddr800 (4x2g) internal sata samsung sata 2,5 160gb connected to sata port 4 of mainboard sometimes external sata over esata slot bracket samsung 2,5 250gb connected to sata port 1 of mainboard debian unstable / sid amd64 branch, daily updated (like today in the morning) kernel 2.6.25-2 - 2.6.25.5 grub2 (which I have some problems with) kde4 kvm 70 vde (vdekvm) bridge-utils ext3 (mostly with journal=data) as filesystem for all my partitions 1st bug: most serious: device salad when connecting a esata device before boot: Normally my root device is /dev/sda6. When I connect the ext. sata before next boot my root device becomes /dev/sdb6 and the ext. sata is sda. But not today: sda is obvious the external disk and sdb the internal, but mount tells me that sda6 is my root device. gparted tells me that there is no sda6, because my external disk doesn't contain a 6th partition blkid tells me that there is a sda6 and a sdb6 with the same uuid (there should only be sdb6) What could it be related to? Where is that salad from? grub2 (as kernel parameter I give root=UUID=uuid) in my fstab I use UUID=uuid for mounting the root partition I detected this problem today in the morning. I think one of the updates in the last 3 weeks or my switch to grub2 is responsible for that. 2nd bug: kvm pxe boot with model=e1000 broken - doesnt recognize DHCP information - fine with model=rtl8139 This worked with kvm prior 70, must be broken somewhere in the last 3 weeks daemon log on dhcp server says dhcpoffer ip to mac mac (or similar) again and again but pxe with e1000 in kvm says .no dhcp information again and again when doing the same with model=rtl8139 all is fine, gets dhcp, gets pxe file, boots when booting linux (not using -boot n in kvm commandline) linux gets ip address as usual with model=e1000 I think problem could be found somewhere in the e1000 boot rom file 3rd bug grub2 does not install in boot block of actual root partition or actually mounted partition In my mbr I installed gag. It boots from my bootable partitions. Therfore I install grub in the boot block of a partition I want to boot from, I find this more sorted. This worked fine for years. I tried it with some prior version of grub2 (I think 1.96-200805xx) on my root (like above sda6) as follows: grub-install /dev/sda6 This does not work. After a lot of tries and some dangerous grub-install /dev/sda6 grub-install /dev/sda7 dd if=/dev/sda7 of=/dev/sda6 bs=512 count=1 actions I got it to work, but this does not always work. I think that work's because sda7 is not mounted at this moment. (There's a longer story behind it with checking the difference of the first 512 bytes of sda6 and sda7 with vbindiff and finding the right jumppoint to core.img, if you are interested let me know) Now I try it always with sda7 by doing mkdir /1 mount /dev/sda7 /1 grub-install --root-directory=/1 /dev/sda7 umount /1 rmdir /1 when I then do kvm /dev/sda (I know this is dangerous because sda6 is mounted as root and kvm does not check it, but for only trying the bootloader on sda7 I won't destroy anything on sda6) the bootloader works flawless when I reboot and try this from real hardware grub2 stops somewhere in the beginning with a short message. When I do kvm /dev/sda after this reboot I get the same message like from real hardware. My thoughts: I think the message I get after reboot is the message from my last successfull grub2 dd if=.. installation, because the changes that should have been written to the 1st 512 bytes of sda7 are not written back by grub-install, they were only cached. This only occurs when the boot block I want grub2 boot.img install on is actually mounted (I think some tests I did proved this, the boot sector of the partition stayed the same after a reboot like before grub-install). Maybe this information helps you. There's another thing related to this: One advantage of grub1 (or grub-legacy) was that you could install it somewhere and then create or change the grub.conf or menu.lst without
