 Nice to hear.

After a few days still no problems. Looking good!

  provide more info, contact people, or whatever, please let me know.
 
 Yes, one more test.  Could you try the latest squeeze or
 squeeze-proposed-updates kernel to see if it is affected?

I tested using linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 version 2.6.32-39, which I 
think is current for both squeeze and squeeze-proposed-updates. This 
kernel is affected (problem reproduced using the r8169 driver as shipped 
by Debian).

Bug#650771: linux-image-2.6.39-bpo.2-amd64: r8169 connectivity intermittent, link up messages in syslog

2011-12-02 Thread Robbert Haarman
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.39-3~bpo60+1
Severity: important


As far as I can tell, there have been problems with Linux support for the 
Realtek 8168 for a number of years now. There are reports at least as far
back as 2010, for both amd64 and i386 systems, on various Linux distributions.

The general symptoms are that the network card may work for a while, then stops 
working for up to several minutes, works again for a while, and so on.

Here are some more things I have been able to gather from various bug reports 
that are already out there:

 - The problem affects at least the Realtek 8168 series, with various 
revisions, at least B through E.

 - lspci reports them all as Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI 
Express Gigabit Ethernet controller, regardless of the actual revision

 - There are at least two Linux drivers for these cards:

   1. The r8169 driver included in vanilla Linux and various distribution 
kernels

   2. The r8168 driver which can be downloaded from Realtek's website

 - Various fixes have been suggested. Other reports of this bug have been 
marked as fixed. With every fix out there, there are at least some people
   for whom it doesn't solve the problem.

   * Some people report that using the r8168 driver instead of the r8169 driver 
solves the problem. For others, this reduces the frequency of the
 network going down, but doesn't completely make it go away. My system ran 
fine with r8168 for a few days, then started having problems again,
 accompanied by backtraces in syslog mentioning WATCHDOG.

   * Some people report that setting the network speed to 100 Mbps instead of 
1000 Mbps solves the problem for them. Other people report that this
 merely reduces the probability of the problem occurring, but doesn't 
eliminate it.

   * Some reports claim that reducing the size of the transmit buffer solves 
the issue. Others claim it doesn't solve the problem, at most
 makes it occur less frequently.

   * Some people report that passing pcie_aspm=off to the kernel solves the 
problem for them. Others report that this does not help for them.
 It did not help for me.

   * Some reports mention that heavy network traffic seems to trigger the issue.

   * Some people report that upgrading their BIOS solved the issue. Others 
report that they tried that and it didn't help.

   * At various points in time, this has been marked fixed in some kernel 
version, only to be reported again against the same or later
 kernel versions.

 - To me, the various reports suggest that there may be a race condition 
somewhere.

 - As far as I know, the same hardware works without problems under other 
operating systems (e.g. Windows 7), and also on older (2008?) versions
   of Linux.

 - I have the impression that the problem is more frequent on some boots than 
others: at times, I have been able to use the network card for hours
   without problems, even while downloading megabytes of files from the 
Internet. At other times, it will fail after just a few ICMP echo messages.

 - I would like to emphasize that this problem affects not just this kernel 
version, not just Debian kernels, and affects the r8169 driver as well
   as the r8168 driver that is avalaible from Realtek's website.

How to reproduce:

 - On an affected system (Realtek 8168, Gigabit ethernet; other NICs and 
network speeds may or may not be affected), use the network. Check the
   syslog for link up messages. Leaving ping running will show a number of 
messages getting through, then silence for up to several minutes,
   then messages getting through again, etc.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for being on the case!

I am currently trying the patch at 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1222924.



I downloaded the patch from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1222924
as r8169-patch, and then did the following:

sudo aptitude install build-essential devscripts fakeroot libdw-dev libperl-dev 
python-dev libnewt-dev

sudo aptitude build-dep linux-2.6

wget 
'http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.39.orig.tar.gz'

wget 
'http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.39-3~bpo60+1.diff.gz'

tar xzf linux-2.6_2.6.39.orig.tar.gz

mv linux-2.6-2.6.39 linux-2.6-2.6.39-inglorion1

cd linux-2.6-2.6.39-inglorion1

gunzip  '../linux-2.6_2.6.39-3~bpo60+1.diff.gz' | patch -p1

patch -p5  ../../../r8169-patch
# The patch applied cleanly

make localmodconfig
# This asked for EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23. I accepted the default selection of Y

# Make sure that .config contains CONFIG_R8169=m
# If you run localmodconfig while r8169 is not loaded (e.g. because you are 
using r8168),
# then localmodconfig will cause r8169 to NOT be built.

cd drivers/net

cd ../..

make -j 5 deb-pkg

sudo dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.39_2.6.39-2_amd64.deb

sudo reboot



I will run with this for a while and see if I can get the NIC to lock up (it is 
currently working).

2010-04-17 Thread Robbert Haarman
. The request will be made using the same URI that I typed in the address
bar. (ok)

 2. The URI shown in the address bar is _different_ from the one that was
used to make the request. (wrong)

 3. Re-using the URI shown in the address bar sends the same URI
as is shown in the address bar. (ok)

 4. Re-using the URI shown in the address bar sends a _different_ URI
from the original request. (wrong)

 5. The URI that will be shown in the history is _different_ from the one
that was used to perform the request. (wrong)

 6. The URI that will be used when re-performing a request from the history
is the same as the URI that was displayed for the history entry. (ok)

In particular, the fact that, after performing the original request,
the address bar shows a URI that is _not_ the URI that was used to make the
request strikes me as wrong: it seems to be saying
here is the page with URI X while it is really the page with URI Y.

I am looking forward to your thoughts and comments on this. Thanks for your
efforts so far, and thanks also to everyone who is looking into this, and,
of course, the Konqueror team in general. Keep up the good work!

Kind regards,

Bob

Bug#479965: konqueror: unexpected behavior with duplicate web shortcut keywords

2008-05-07 Thread Robbert Haarman
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2
Severity: minor

Konqueror offers a web shortcuts feature, where keywords can be 
defined that, when entered as the first word in the location bar, 
redirect to specific URLs. This is very useful for performing
quick searches.

However, when the same keyword is defined as a shortcut for more than 
one service, some unexpected behavior occurs.

First of all, there is no warning when the duplicate keyword is defined.

Secondly, if such a keyword is used, one of the corresponding services 
is triggered, but this is not necessarily an enabled service.

For example:

Debian's konqueror package comes with a number of web shortcuts already 
defined, including bug for KDE bug searches 
(http://bugs.kde.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED]).

If we now add a web shortcut Mozilla Bugs that redirects to Mozilla's 
Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED]), and 
include bug as one of the keywords that trigger it, we will have a 
duplicate keyword.

Now, if we disable the KDE bug search using the checkbox, and enable the 
Mozilla Bugs search, and search for bug 747, we will get 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747 instead of the more sensible 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747.

Bug#471930: konqueror: Konqueror urldecodes URLs and remembers the decoded URL

2008-03-21 Thread Robbert Haarman
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2
Severity: normal

When you open a page whose URL contains characters that must be 
urlencoded, Konqueror will let you enter the URL properly encoded (with 
% escapes, etc.) and visit the page correctly.

However, it will decode the URL and display the decoded URL in the 
address bar (e.g. + will be changed to space, %2B will be changed to +, 
etc.) This often causes the URL in the address bar to not actually be 
a valid URL. For example, if you select the address bar and press 
return, you will receive an error, or at the very least not go to the 
same page whose URL you originally entered.

The decoded URL is also saved in the history, so that you can, for 
example, use the up and down arrow keys in the address bar to select a 
previously visited page, and not go there, because the URL that has been 
saved with it is not the right URL, but the urldecoded version of it.

This behavior annoys me. I can see the point of wanting to display the 
address in decoded form for some users in some situations (e.g. when 
using Konqueror as a file manager - which I never do, by the way). 
However, I would, at the very least, want to be able to turn off this 
functionality, so that the URLs I enter will not be mangled.

Steps to reproduce:
 - Visit any website with an URL that contains characters that need 
   escaping. For example:
   http://slashdot.org/~RAMMS%2BEIN/

 - Konqueror will correctly open the page, but mangle the URL. E.g.
   http://slashdot.org/~RAMMS+EIN/

 - If you try to open the same page again, e.g. by selecting the
   address bar and pressing return, or by selecting the address bar,
   you will not go to the same page you originally visited.

 - If you visit another page, then select the address bar and use the
   up arrow to navigate back to the original page, then press return
   to select it, you will get the mangled URL and you will not visit
   the page whose URL you originally entered.

Bug#471931: konqueror: Only open pages in new windows when requested by the user

2008-03-21 Thread Robbert Haarman
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2
Severity: wishlist

Konqueror (and other browsers, but Konqueror is the one I use) can be 
instructed by websites to open pages in new windows (e.g. through the 
use of target=_blank in a hyperlink). It annoys me when websites do 
this.

I would like a configuration option that instructs Konqueror to ignore 
such requests, so that pages always open in the same window, unless I 
(the user) explicitly request Konqueror to open them in a new tab or 
window.

Bug#471933: konqueror: Inconsistent handling of plain text pages in Konqueror

2008-03-21 Thread Robbert Haarman
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2
Severity: normal

Konqueror handles plain text encountered on websites (e.g. pages that 
specify text/plain as their MIME type) in a way that I find rather odd.

The usual behavior for web browsers (and the behavior I would like 
Konqueror to exhibit) is that the text document is rendered in the 
window where it would be rendered if it were an HTML document, and be 
read-only.

Konqueror, in my experience, does one of at least three things:

1. It opens the document with an embedded instance of some KDE text 
editor (perhaps Kate).

2. It opens the document with a handler application outside Konqueror.

3. It asks what to do with the file.

In case 1, the document is opened in the expected location (the same 
location where an HTML document would be rendered), but the behavior of 
that location is quite different from what it would be for an HTML 
document: the window is really a different program (e.g. Kate) and 
behaves differently. This can be a Good Thing in some cases, but is 
usually a source of mild frustration if you expect to be browsing the 
web and unexpectedly get confronted with the different behavior.

In case 2, the document is usually opened in a separate window. It also 
may take a long time to load (depending on the configured application). 
Of course, the user interface is also likely to be completely different 
from Konqueror's. Again, this can be a Good Thing in some circumstances, 
but if you are just browsing the web and unsuspectingly hit a plain text 
document, this is frustrating. More so because you get a window popping 
up when you didn't expect it.

In case 3, you get to choose what happens. The choice has always been 
save, open in another application, or cancel for me. The option I 
want, of course, is behave as if it were just another web page, except 
that you use a plain text renderer instead of an HTML renderer. But 
that option is not one of my choices, and I get an annoying pop-up to 
rub it in.

What I would like to see is:

1. The possibility to render plain text just like HTML is rendered (but, 
of course, rendered as the plain text looks, e.g. without whitespace 
collpasing like HTML does).

2. The possibility to make this the default way to render plain text 
encountered on the web (and possibly all plain text encountered 
anywhere).

3. The save as, open with external application, and open with 
program embedded in Konqueror options should probably still be 
available, for example through menus (just like I can save an HTML page 
or choose to open in with a different program through the menus).

Bug#442100: emacs: Dutch spell checking broken (again?)

2007-09-13 Thread Robbert Haarman
Package: emacs
Version: 21.4a+1-3etch1
Severity: normal


Emacs spell checking (both ispell-buffer and flyspell-buffer) fails with 
Invalid regexp: Invalid range end when the language is set to dutch 
(M-x ispell-change-language RET nederlands RET).

This may be the same problem as in bug #351846
(/usr/bin/emacs-21.2: ispell w/dutch dictionary gives Invalid regexp: 
Invalid range end) and/or bug #296734 (idutch: emacs integration 
broken), both of which are supposed to have been fixed.

However, rather than using ispell and idutch, I am using aspell 
(0.60.4-4) and aspell-nl (0.1e-44).

I can spell check files fine (both English and Dutch) when I run aspell 
from the command line. I can also spell check from Emacs if the language 
is set to english. The only combination that fails is spell checking 
from Emacs with the language set to nederlands (which is Dutch for 
Dutch).
