I agree and it has been fixed some weeks ago.

So, that's a funky problem, I know. We moved away from github, long,
long time ago (probably 2021, that's why you see the last commit there).

However some in the cdist community wanted to keep the git repo on
github alive to allow easier contributions. As this did not really
materialise, we might actually delete and/or redirect that repo to
code.ungleich.ch, too.

> Funnily https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/#contributing

Yes, it says "both" for contributing, but it does not say "we keep the
github repo updated". But yes, I can see how this might be confusing.

Again, the proper upstream URL is
https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/
and actually we also have a shiny website on...

https://www.cdi.st/

which references only the upstream repo.

Much appreciated. I added to my todo list to replace the master branch
on github with a pointer to code.ungleich.ch, referencing this thread.

Thanks a lot Axel, much appreciated.

Bug#968685: DNS Problem using Debian in IPv6 only networks

2020-08-19 Thread Nico Schottelius


Package: mirrors
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6


Good evening,

we were just trying to install & update a cluster of Debian VMs,
when we were hit by the same bug that was reported by Jens Link in bug
#961296 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961296).

I am a bit puzzled on what to do here, as the machines are in an
IPv6 only environment that does not have any access to the IPv4 world.

We are encountering more and more IPv6 only networks as it is not
feasible to use dual stack in these islands anymore, because they
are routing wise far from any IPv4 networks.

Is it possible for us to sponsor/help/provide IPv6 DNS servers (and/or
maintenance of them) for the Debian project to fix this problem?

We could probably setup a DNS mirror that does AXFR/IXFR from the
Debian.org DNS servers and thus easily enable anyone else in IPv6 only
servers.

What do you think, is that a possibility to move forward? I think it
would be almost zero effort from the Debian team, as it means only
setting up an  record for the DNS servers.

I assume that Jens would also be in for maintenance, if you would like
to have more than one party maintaining the DNS mirrors, as it scratches
his itch, too.

Best regards,

Nico

Bug#961201: ceph-common does not include /usr/bin/ceph-crush-location (but it should)

2020-05-21 Thread Nico Schottelius


Package: ceph-common
Version: 14.2.9-1~bpo10+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

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

   * What led up to the situation?

   Installing ceph

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Starting ceph's osd via /etc/init.d/ceph fails, because the init script
refers to ceph-crush-location, does not find it and exits 2.

Note: the manpage for this binary is included, the binary itself is
missing.

This is tested on Devuan Beowulf, but any ceph operation also on systemd
based distros that require ceph-crush-location will fail.

Bug#787112: Add GlusterFS support to Qemu

2015-05-28 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: qemu
Version: 1:2.1+dfsg-12

When trying to use qemu with glusterfs, Qemu responds with Unknown protocol.

qemu-system-x86_64: -drive 
file=gluster://127.0.0.1:24007/kaffee-wein/118/disk.0,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=none:
 could not open disk image gluster://127.0.0.1:24007/kaffee-wein/118/disk.0: 
Unknown protocol

It would be awesome to have glusterfs support for Qemu in Debian,
so it can be used for VM-Hosting.

I *guess* it might be as easy as just linking against glusterfs,
but I haven't checked it out in detail.

However CentOS / Redhat support Qemu+GlusterFS out of the box, so the
SRPMS / Specfiles must be around somewhere.

Bug#759340: RFP: cdist -- Usable Configuration Management System

2014-08-26 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: cdist
  Version : 3.1.6
  Upstream Author : Nico Schottelius nico-debian-cd...@schottelius.org
* URL or Web page : http://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/cdist/
* License : GPL-3+
  Description : Usable Configuration Management System

cdist is a usable configuration management system. It adheres to the
KISS principle and is being used in small up to enterprise grade
environments. cdist is an alternative to other configuration
management systems like cfengine, bcfg2, chef and puppet.

There exists a preliminary packaging by Axel Beckert for version 3.0.0
at https://github.com/xtaran/cdist/tree/debian/debian on which the
packaging probably should be based on. Axel would also review and
sponsor cdist packages, but won't maintain it himself.

Bug#677418: Due Debian bug #677418 -- gpm sharing clipboard between different users

2012-06-21 Thread Nico Schottelius
Hello,

I'm not sure what's the news with this bug.
It should be clear to anyone using gpm that every local user
has access to its buffer.

I don't even believe this is a bug - but a feature: You can cat on one
console as $foouser and paste on another console as $other use.

You can open up a CVE or whatever for it, but it may not be appropriate.

GPM is not bound to however is logged in - you can even use it, if you
are *not* logged in at all - to for instance copy the bootmessages from tty1
to a logged in console on tty2.

That said - if you really want the behaviour of gpm working only if a
user is logged in, feel free to submit a patch against latest stable
source code using a new parameter like --per-user-clipboard
or --per-tty-clipboard (which would save you of another mapping table).

Cheers,

Nico

p.s.: changed e-mail address to the correct one

Bug#603982: unblock unscd

2010-12-08 Thread Nico Schottelius
Good morning,

we (Sysadmins at ETH Zurich) would be very happy to see unscd unblocked.

nscd is broken for YEARS and nobody cared (*) about it. Don is
probably the only person in the Debian area, who took
responsibilty and created a VERY GOOD replacement (**).

IF you haven't run a large scale LDAP infrastructure,
you probably cannot understand the need for unscd.

We had/have to patch all our Debian machines, because
nscd is practically unusable (see various other bugs).

Please, take this chance now to end this disaster once
and forever.

Thanks.

Nico

(*) Not completly true, but nobody finished the transition
to unscd so far nor was pushing it like Don does with
his work.

(**) No, the limit of not being able to use the full caching
 capabilities is not making it unusable. Instead, as it
 is the only stable nscd version out there, it's way more
 than only acceptable, but a major requirement for large
 deployments.

Bug#597399: Various bugs breaking usability in 2.6.0

2010-09-19 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: puppet
Version: 2.6.0-4
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze sid

Hey!

Starting with 2.6.0 in squezze, breaks some puppet manifests, which
used to work with 0.25. and work again with 2.6.1.

For details see:

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4780
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4805

These are only the ones affecting manifests written by me, but
it seems general consensus, that 2.6.0 is a release to avoid
because of its bugs.

Thus I would like you to seriously consider 2.6.1 for squezze,
as otherwise puppet will be long time unusable on Debian stable.

Cheers,

Nico

Bug#552431: Status of this libnss/libnss-ldap/sshd: no login possible after some time bug report

2010-05-27 Thread Nico Schottelius
Good evening guys,

Christian PERRIER [Thu, May 27, 2010 at 07:20:46PM +0200]:
 Are you still experiencing that bug? From your description, this is a
 very handicapping bug and you might either have found a
 workaround...or something else fixed the problemor maybe you are
 still experiencing it and are mumbling about the lack of
 responsiveness you got from the Debian project on this issue

I am indeed a bit disappointed about reaction times in Debian,
as this bug causes large installations to malfunction and everybody
using ldap with Debian will encounter it at some point.

 Apart from all this, I'm not entirely convinced that the bug deserves
 to be severity: critical. At the minimum, it should be serious as
 it doesn't break other software or introduces a security hole.

Well, making the whole system unusable feels into that category
from my point of view.

But anyway, let's not focus on such formal stuff.

Getting back to Arthurs comment,
Arthur de Jong [Thu, May 27, 2010 at 09:20:03PM +0200]:
 On Thu, 2010-05-27 at 19:20 +0200, Christian PERRIER wrote:
  First of all, let me add a disclaimer: I am *not* the maintainer of
  libnss-ldap nor do I have much clue about LDAP auth and even that
  package.
 
 Let me then also add my comments (I'm also not the maintainer of
 libnss-ldap but I'm the one for libnss-ldapd).
 
 I think you should give libnss-ldapd a try, especially if you are using
 SSL/TLS or Kerberos. That package does LDAP queries in a separate
 process space and has a much more maintainable code base. It is also
 available in lenny and should be very stable.

Will do, have had it on my radar for some time.

 Anyway, going over the bugreport (and #541188) I find this a bit odd
 (/etc/nsswitch.conf):
 
 passwd: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return]
 group:  files ldap [UNAVAIL=return]

That was a try to remove the nasty startup problems caused by udev,
which queries for non-existent system (=passwd) users and thus
slows down the bootup dramatically.

But to make debuggers happy, I've removed the options for a long
time in production mode.

 I think the expressions between brackets are only really useful between
 different lookup methods. Another thing that could be causing it is
 nscd. It has been known to give problems in some cases.

And coming to the point: Yes, it is nscd. nscd is completly broken
and should be replaced with unscd as soon as possible, also stated
on http://www.nico.schottelius.org/blog/nscd-bugs/.

There's a stale open bug (#513305) available for that and I think
it's a real must for squeeze to integrate.

To explain a bit better:

 * ldap queries are slow (ls -lR takes much longer using ldap for name lookups)
 * ldap servers here are getting requests from hundreds or even thousands of 
machines
 * Thus every machine is required to run a local cache

Currently we're adding unscd from our own debian archive, but everybody with
large scale installations will need to redo that and also to create a more
recent package.

So from my point of view you can close this bug - time is better spend on
unscd.

Cheers,

Nico

Bug#552554: ipconfig does not time out (klibc-utils)

2009-10-27 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: klibc-utils
Version: 1.5.15-1

Hello!

I'm trying to boot Debian from a different nic than the first one.
After some digging into klibc and initramfs, it seems like DEVICE=all
in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is near a solution
(I cannot reliable tell, which name the nic has, it may be eth0, eth1,
eth2, eth3, ...; as I've machines with one to four nics).

/scripts/functions contains

266 case ${IP} in
267 none|off)
268 # Do nothing
269 ;;
270 |on|any)
271 # Bring up device
272 ipconfig -t 180 ${DEVICE}
273 ;;
274 dhcp|bootp|rarp|both)
275 ipconfig -t 180 -c ${IP} -d ${DEVICE}
276 ;;
277 *)
278 ipconfig -t 180 -d $IP
279 

But ipconfig prints only one line:
IP-Config: eth0 hardware address ... mtu 1500 DHCP RARP

But it never times out or choses the next interface.

Another problematic aspect in the functions script is

294 # source ipconfig output
 
295 if [ -n ${DEVICE} ]; then
296 # source specific bootdevice
297 . /tmp/net-${DEVICE}.conf
298 else
299 # source any interface as not exaclty specified
300 . /tmp/net-*.conf
301 fi

which will fail, if DEVICE=all is set.

So to summarise:

  - ipconfig from klibc does not time out, although it have been called with -t 
180
  - Debian does not documentate how to boot from nfsroot with multiple nics in 
a box
  - Debian seems not to support booting from multiple nics in their 
initramfs-scripts

This mail should create a new bug at debian.org, but is also sent to
klibc@ to notify upstream about the problem.

Sincerly,

Nico

Bug#552431: libnss/libnss-ldap/sshd: no login possible after some time

2009-10-26 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: libnss-ldap
Version: 261-2.1
Severity: critical

Hello!

As reported in bug 541188 and on the Debian users mailinglist
(ldap/libnss/ssh: (remote) login stops working after some time,
 Thu, 3 Sep 2009 12:02:34 +0200), login stops to work via ssh and
partly locally after some weeks or days: If this case happens, I

- cannot login as root (neither locally, nor remotely)
- cannot login as an ldap user remotely

The error I get from ssh is

r...@ikq3.inf.ethz.ch: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed 
by remote host

The current fix:

If I login locally as a ldap-user, I CAN login and after that I can
again login remotely, as root and as ldap user.

As Debian Lenny is installed on almost all of our cluster nodes, this is causing
a lot of trouble, as local login is very expensive for us.

If you have any hint on what could be wrong (i.e. configuration / libs / etc.)
or if you are aware of any bug in libnss* or libpam, please let me know.

The current configuration does *not* contain the debug statements anymore, that
I reported previously:

Bug#384864: gpm can not be cross compiled

2009-10-22 Thread Nico Schottelius
Dear gpm-patchers and maintainers,

Colin Watson [Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 11:41:16AM +0100]:
 user ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
 usertags 384864 ubuntu-patch karmic
 thanks

I would be happy, if you forward the patches to the GPM mailinglist [0]
or/and provide them via git, so they can be applied upstream.

In case there are changes that are not useful for upstream I would still
prefer to have a branch ubuntu-karmic or debian-unstable in the git
repo, to see what you're patching why.

Sincerly,

Nico

Bug#541188: no login possible after some time (using ldap, krb5, ssh, login)

2009-08-12 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: libpam-runtime
Version: 1.0.1-5+lenny1
Severity: serious

After some time we get this message when trying to login to a debian node:

r...@debian-host: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

We have some clusters with debian running and about 30 nodes have this problem.

It makes no difference, if I try as root (= without ldap) or as a real user, if 
I use
password or public key auth.

If I go to the local console (i.e. tty1) and login as a NORMAL user, the whole 
authentication
works again.

Though, locally I CANNOT login as root, until I login as a normal user before.

After I logged into as a normal user, I can also ssh into the machine again.

It seems that pam has a bug that is triggered after some time, that forgets 
about the users:

 This is not a PAM bug, you appear to have a bug of some kind in your NSS

Well, if this is a configuration issue, why does it appear *after* some

 If the user 'nobody' can't be resolved, you've broken things quite badly.
 Nothing to do with PAM.
 
 The 'nobody' user should *always* be a local user; this should resolve
 correctly even if the LDAP server is down.  If you don't have the 'nobody'
 user in /etc/passwd, that's a configuration error.  If you have the 'nobody'

 credentials caching issue, then you have some NSS module bug or NSS
 configuration error.  Either way, this is not a bug in pam.

Agreed, sorry, maybe the wrong package.

Can you reassign to libnss3-1d, please?

Greets,

Nico

Bug#540364: gpm: source code is not chroot-friendly

2009-08-10 Thread Nico Schottelius
Good morning,

Martin-Éric Racine [Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 05:14:21PM +0300]:
 O0o.oops(): [daemon/check_kill.c(42)]: Problem reading from /var/run/gpm.pid  

 [...]
 *
 
 As the above shows, even though GPM's init script correctly calls 
 invoke-rc.d, 
 the source code itself insists upon seeing a real usable pid number in the 
 file,
 even though this is not something that's gonna appear when unpacking packages 
 in
 a chroot, such as when preparing a filesystem image for copying to JFFS2.

Sure it does. How should gpm be able to see whether it's running or not else?

I guess alot other daemons also do this, so I'm a bit wondering why
this problem with Debian comes up now.

I'm a bit tired, but way more confused about this bug in general:

Why should a any software care about that problem?

And why is gpm started in this environment at el?

Maybe I'm missing some Debian magic, but for an installation there's
no requirement to start it.

Greetings from the airport,

Nico

Bug#533842: JFS: fsck should not be skipped on battery power

2009-06-21 Thread Nico Schottelius
Stefan Hornburg (Racke) [Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 08:37:36AM +0200]:
 Do you know which part of the boot process determines whether
 running fsck or not?

Yep:

[10:15] ikn:~% grep -l fsck /etc/init.d/* 
/etc/init.d/checkfs.sh
/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh

Which belongs to

[10:15] ikn:~% dpkg -S /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh
initscripts: /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh

I still opened the bug for jfsutils, because this problem only
occurs with JFS, as all other filesystems have their journal
replay in the kernel (ext3,xfs,reiserfs f.i.), but may be reassigned,
as you think it fits best.

Sincerly,

Nico

Bug#533842: JFS: fsck should not be skipped on battery power

2009-06-20 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: jfsutils
Version: 1.1.12-2
Severity: important

When booting the notebook on battery, Debians fsck-logic prevents
running fsck, which is a major fault on JFS, because the journal
replay is done in fsck.jfs.

Thus skipping fsck.jfs for the root filesystems results in a
unusable system, because / is still mounted read only
(and can only be mounted r/w if the fsck went through).

Therefore fsck.jfs must be run in any case, independent of
battery power or not.

Sincerly,

Nico

It seems that this error is known in ncurses-ruby-1.2.2 (reported on

Bug#522194: update-grub2 creates kernel list in wrong order

2009-04-01 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: grub2
Version: 1.96+20090317-1
Severity: normal

When you've kernels from different kernel trees (like -next, -wl, linux-2.6, 
...)
the names do not fit into the sorting algorithm of update-grub2 (also true for
update-grub).

Thus the most recently installed kernel is *not* listed at the top:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-wl-36123-g39fb448
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-next-20090331
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-next-20090324
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-06608-g15f7176


/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-06608-g15f7176 is newer than 
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-next-20090324.

The obvious fix is to sort by mtime (ls -t1). All other algorithm trying to
guess which prefix is newer or older will fail sooner or later.

Sincerly,

Nico

Bug#520853: gpm: FTBFS: storage size of 'sucred' is unknown

2009-03-22 Thread Nico Schottelius
Hey Daniel!

Daniel Schepler [Sun, Mar 22, 2009 at 08:57:39PM -0700]:
 From my pbuilder build log:
 
 ...
 daemon/processconn.c:56: warning: passing argument 3 of 'accept' from 
 incompatible pointer type
 [...] 
 I'm attaching a patch which fixes this error.

Using #define _GNU_SOURCE to add more glibc specific is probably
not the best way to go, as there's already a messy #ifdef below
to catch the SO_PEERCRED case.

Maybe getting rid of the whole section and making the socket group
read/writable only is the better way?

Sincerly,

Nico

Bug#503178: crash with FX5200 after dist-upgrade

2008-10-23 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:2.1.10-1
Severity: serious

Hello!

Since I did the apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday, the following happens:

 - on startx, the console is switched and after a few seconds I am
   back in text mode: the last line is blinking, cannot type anything
 - X is still running (started it directly without any WM)
 - killing X or doing chvt 1 works, though the console is screwed up:
   the redrawing does not work, switching VTs helps partly
   (first row is never redrawn)
 - the following xorg updates were made:

ikdesk1:/var/cache/apt/archives# grep upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log | grep xorg

2008-10-22 17:57:11 upgrade xorg 1:7.3+16 1:7.3+18

It seem dpkg already deleted the old packages, so a downgrade seems not easily 
be possible.

Any hint would be appreciated.

Bug#503178: crash with FX5200 after dist-upgrade

2008-10-23 Thread Nico Schottelius
Just installed nvidia-glx to test the closed source driver.
It works - so maybe really an issue in nv.

 Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
 Version: 1:2.1.10-1
 Severity: serious
 
 Hello!
 
 Since I did the apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday, the following happens:
 
  - on startx, the console is switched and after a few seconds I am
back in text mode: the last line is blinking, cannot type anything
  - X is still running (started it directly without any WM)
  - killing X or doing chvt 1 works, though the console is screwed up:
the redrawing does not work, switching VTs helps partly
(first row is never redrawn)
  - the following xorg updates were made:
 
 ikdesk1:/var/cache/apt/archives# grep upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log | grep xorg

 It seem dpkg already deleted the old packages, so a downgrade seems not 
 easily be possible.
 
 Any hint would be appreciated.

Should have added:

- not pingable anymore - system really dead.
- no content in Xorg.0.log
- downgraded xserver-xorg-core to -6: does not fix

BUT:

- calling startx in single user mode works, for both versions
- tried the hint to remove network-manager from #489365: no success

So maybe something in gdm triggers that bug.

Bug#493823: gpm: segv on SIGWINCH

2008-08-06 Thread Nico Schottelius
It should be fixed in gpm-1.99.7-4-gb47, which you can get from

Bug#493168: gpm: Segfaults on boot.

2008-08-06 Thread Nico Schottelius
 It still looks the same to me like before.  I've also attached gdb and
 set a breakpoint in selection_copy and never got there.  The problem
 seems to be that in old_main.c line 236, event.vc is 1, and cinfo[1] is
 NULL.  In fact, cinfo is completly filled with NULL.

Ha! Found the bug! This was a real good hint :-)

I reorded a three level if-clause wrongly in some cleanup commit
(old_main.c).

Fixed that in 1.99.7-4-gb47, which is available at

http://home.schottelius.org/~nico/temp/gpm-1.99.7-4-gb47.tar.bz2

Can you test it, if it works as expected now?

 PS: The new tar has a src/daemon/selection_copy.c~ in it.

Thanks, removed it. It's a left-over from the indent_script.

I'll backport the fix to 1.20.x and make a new release soon.
As soon as the compile error on 64 Bit Linux is fixed, there
will also be a new 1.99.x release.

Expect both before the end of August.

Sincerly,

Nico

I guess you are on 64bit linux?
The cast is pretty much a hack, which should be rewritten anyway...

 twiddler_escape_sequence() returns an int, which is probably a char.

That's it. But twiddler_rest_to_value returns a char *...

 I'm guessing that you want to put that into ptr or something, and return
 that.

As said above, want to rewrite the whole hack.

 I can start it, I can run the console-tools init script and it keep
 running, but I don't see a cursor.

Hmm, strange. Can you try attaching the client programs:

- display-buttons (and click some buttons, attach output)
- display-coords (and move the mouse, attach output)
- get-versions (to verify we've the correct daemon / lib, attach output)

Also the output of strace -Ff gpm -D LOG 21 could be helpful.

Hello Kevin,

Kevin Ryde [Tue, Aug 05, 2008 at 11:51:05AM +1000]:
 I don't know what it's supposed to do for sigwinch, presumably segv is
 not it :-). 

gpm is notified of a console change with WINCH.

Can you attach gdb and/or strace -fF to it and attach the output?

You can also run gpm -D to run it in debug mode and send the last lines
before it dies.

I am currently digging in the sourcecode for the reason.

I do not expect this version to display the cursor, but at least to get

Found the problem!

I also upgraded the kernel to latest linux-next:

dcb80fdb8cffd3fa06cd322b3e8227632ec23597, v2.6.27-rc1-2457-gdcb80fd.

When booting with 2.6.26-next-20080725-denkbrett, it works fine.

So perhaps something that needs to be fixed in xorg before upgrading
to the lastest kernel.

Can you try the following:

- install gdb

- start gpm in non forking mode (-D) and run it under gdb
- send the backtrace, where it crashes

Nico

 Hi,
 
 It seems this is triggered by running
 /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh start
 
 
 When starting gpm again, it works, until console-screen.sh is started
 again.

Bug#485413: apache2: Apache crashes system due to exessive memory allocation

2008-06-13 Thread Nico Schottelius
Just to update the bug:

I completly disabled ssl on one server, to see whether the ssl module
triggered the bug.

And it did not change the behaviour: So the bug is somewhere else
(so not related to the open ssl-memory-leaks reported on the apache
bugtracker).

I'll soon try the php-package and apache2 from sid on one
webserver and report if anything changes.

Bug#153661: Pinning by codename

2008-06-13 Thread Nico Schottelius
Hello Andrei, hello bugtracker!

Is it possible, that the problem is still existent in lenny and the
attached patch never made it into apt?

If so, would it be possible to apply it and fix apt, so 

   APT::Default-Release lenny;

would be possible?

Sincerly,

 What is the value of memory_limit in your /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ? 
 If it is large, maybe your php app simply uses that much memory.

[11:52] u0203:apache2# grep memory_limit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini 
memory_limit = 128M  ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
(128MB)

On all four servers, all Debian standardconfigs.

 Php 5.2.6 fixes some memory leaks. You could try 5.2.6-1 from Debian 
 unstable.

Hmm, have to wait until it is in testing, as I don't want
to mix up testing/unstable. Is there a way to get notified,
as soon as it is available?

 Apache is known to leak memory in long requests (like when streaming 
 multimedia data) if the flush() function is used excessively. Do you 
 use implicit_flush in your php.ini? Does your application use 
 ob_implicit_flush() or many flush()s?

[12:08] u0140:~% grep implicit_flush /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini 
implicit_flush = Off

 If nothing helps, you can set MaxMemFree and/or MaxRequestsPerChild in 
 your apache config as a workaround.

I am trying the following hacks currently:
   - MaxRequestsPerChild on server u0203
   - Disabled SSL on server u0141

I did not know about MaxMemFree before your Mail, maybe I'll try
it on the third webserver.

My next step would be to compile apache2.2.8 and php 5.2.6 from
source with debugging symbols and run valgrind in front of it...
hope I don't have to do it, because this implies installing
full developement kit including mysql, postgresql, etc. dev
pakets...

Bug#485413: apache2: Apache crashes system due to exessive memory allocation

2008-06-09 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.8-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


And the begins to consume all available memory within about 6 hours.

This is verified on 4 extremly similar setup apaches on Debian Lenny
amd64.

Using pmap on one of the currently bigger apache processes I see that
it has allocated quite much ram:

2b93c38330005848 r-x--  008:1 libphp5.so
00663000  359560 rw--- 00663000 000:0   [ anon ]
mapped: 549860Kwriteable/private: 361796Kshared: 604K

(last lines form from pmap -d 2464 | sort -n -k 2)

The question is how to debug that problem, find out which modules
allocates that much memory (most likely php, but where is the evidence?)
and why it allocates so much memory.

I just fetched it, but have to go to sleep soon. Will have a look at it
in the next days.

Which branch is designed for merge with upstream?

jrnieder/upstream or jrnieder/upstream-patches?
I guess the last one?

Btw, I preferred

git-remote add jrnieder /home/user/nico/projekte/gpm/git-bundles/jrnieder.bdl

to be easier able to merge with you later on.

If you could push your stuff to a non-bundle it would make life even
easier for me :-)

 Hi,
 I have this problem on my box and another two boxes at home too. Gpm
 enabled applications freezes on communication with gpm. When I switch to
 the console to see if mouse is functional under gpm right now (aptitude
 hangs in rxvt) - mouse moves ok in text console.
 Applications (aptitude, module-assistant,...) revive after gpm restart.
 This problem appears several times a day for me.

Can you do strace -Ff program 2 log before starting the program that
hangs?

And can you run gpm -D options gpm.log 21 on another console before?

And then send both files to me?

Bug#476431: gpm makes apps hang if running; they run normally if stopped

2008-04-17 Thread Nico Schottelius
Hello Simon!

Can you debug it the following way:

- stop your gpm using application (i.e. w3m)
- stop gpm
- start gpm with -D and your normal parameters on console 1
   add  LOGFILE 21 at the end
- start your gpm using application on console 2
- wait until it hangs
- abort your program and gpm
- send LOGFILE to here (or the URL, if it is too big)

Bug#315381: fsck.jfs segfaults in some situations when replaying journal

2005-06-22 Thread Nico Schottelius
Package: jfsutils
Version: 1.1.7-1
Severity: critical


Using fsck.jfs on my loopback file caused it multiply to segfault.
I could 'fix' it by using --omit_journal_replay.

I don't know in which state the filesystem has to be to segfault fsck,
but someone should check the log replay source.
