Bug#644403: ndoutils-nagios3-mysql: Upgrade from lenny fails to upgrade the db scheme on remote host
Package: ndoutils-nagios3-mysql Version: 1.4b9-1.1 Severity: important When upgrading from lenny to squeeze, the database schema does not get upgraded if the database resides on a remote host. The package insists on upgrading the localhost. As can be seen from the data below, the debconf database holds uk-swa-db01 as the name of the database server. However, the following output of dpkg-reconfigure shows that this is not the host the upgrade wants to connect to: dpkg-reconfigure ndoutils-nagios3-mysql Stopping ndoutils: ndoutils. dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/ndoutils-mysql.conf granting access to database nagios for nag...@uk-swa-mon.aminocom.com: failed. error encountered creating user: mysql said: ERROR 1044 (42000) at line 1: Access denied for user 'root'@'10.171.24.40' to database 'nagios' dbconfig-common: ndoutils-mysql configure: aborted. dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password This completely breaks the upgrade since after the upgrade an additional column named long_output (see ticket 607925, archived) is now required, and most INSERTs for service checks anbd host checks now fail. It requires a user with significant skill to extract the schema changes from the local database (if there is one to start with) and duplicate them in the remote database.

Bug#586887: cannot replace sudo by sudo-ldap when no root password has been set
Unfortunately this problem still exists (in plain debian squeeze). I am installing squeeze using preseed files, which pull in a local package that depends on sudo-ldap. Therefore the installer rightly concludes that sudo needs to be replaced by sudo-ldap. The preseed files DO specify a root password, but at the time when the package replacement happens, this password has not been set yet, and the installation fails. There is also a bug report about this on the ubuntu launchpad (see bug 771296). It appears that that user has been able to fix this using a preseed/late_command script, however I would consider this a botch job, especially since that script needs to install sudo-ldap twice to be successful. Since the only reason for removal of sudo is the selection of sudo-ldap, the installer should handle this without failing. BTW, our preseeds install both konsole and xterm, and that does NOT prevent the issue. I am not sure this is actually a problem with sudo-ldap. I would rather more lay the blame at the installer for not realising that a root password will be set, and also for not realising that the removal is because of a replacement, but since I am not an expert in these matters, I shall leave that decision to you guys. -- best regards Wolfgang Schulze-Zachau * *
Bug#640918: libpam-modules: pam_mkhomedir.so has no default config in /usr/share/pam-configs
Package: libpam-modules Version: 1.1.1-6.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch This module is very useful in environments using LDAP authentication, as it allows users to log into any linux workstation on the network (if configured properly). However, since there is no default config in /usr/share/pam-configs, the pam-auth-update utility does not see it and therefore doesn't offer it for activation, i.e. the common-* files have to be modified manually. This then leads to issues when pam-auth-update is rerun (either it aborts or the previous changes are overwritten). This can be overcome by adding a default config named mkhomedir into /usr/share/pam-configs with the following content: Name: Create home directory on first time login Default: yes Priority: 0 Session-Interactive-Only: yes Session-Type: Additional Session-Final: requiredpam_mkhomedir.so thus keeping pam-auth-update working as intended. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libpam-modules depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.8 4.8.30-2 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries libpam-modules recommends no packages. libpam-modules suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/security/group.conf changed [not included] -- debconf information excluded Visit us in Hall 5, at stand B.40 at the IBC Show -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#635870: Missing alias for javascript folder

Really thanks for your extended explanation... Let me respond you via BTS, just to let the complete info about this issue for others whom will be interested. The mantis apache.conf file, as installed from the package, is actually not a complete vhost configuration (probably because mantis can be run within a vhost without problem). I simply wrapped the contents in that file in a VirtualHost declaration, which also defines ServerName and ServerAlias, because this server hosts approx. a dozen internal websites. The VirtualHost declaration further contains a CustomLog entry and a DocumentRoot entry. In fact, here is the complete file (with the additional Alias as required): I see, I understand now the problem.. (for privacity I don't reply your custom config). When you use mantis under Virtual Host configuration, which the Documentroot overrides the / directory, and you use the Alias for /mantis, even if you assume it's not necessary: If you run this, everything works fine: http://host/mantis/view_all_bug_page.php If you run this, doesn't: http://host/view_all_bug_page.php Because in that case you are using the defaults from Apache, and in combination with javascript-common apache Alias, the server is triying to look the files under /usr/share/javascript/. As mantisBT upstream documentation explains, the default configuration for mantis is always http://host/mantis;, and in debian the default configuration is always http://host/mantis/mantis;. Because of that reason the default package distributed under debian it's prepared to work correctly under that especs. Of course, that's not means that you could apply your custom configuration, and that's what you are getting those troubles.. yes your right, you have a problem with javascript path location under this custom work around. But when you change something you have to take care on your own changes, even if you made and update.. because the default maintainer version will not be installed on your system as well .. right? Yes, I guess one solution for your custom configuration, would be add this line into the config Apache file: Alias /javascript /usr/share/mantis/www/javascript FYI, your case will be considered, and we are going to open a bug under wishlist to apply some warnings about setting up mantis under VirtualHost configuration and different default path. Some information about this is related to Multisite documentation, but is not exactly the same case.

Bug#635870: Missing alias for javascript folder
Package: mantis Version: 1.1.8+dfsg-10 Severity: important Tags: squeeze The default apache.conf file for mantis does not contain an alias for the javascript folder. However, the default apache configuration in debian does have that alias (in /etc/apache2/conf.d/javascript-common.conf), which leads to the fact that none of the javascript files are loaded and much of the functionality in mantis is crippled (e.g. the search filter box cannot be minimized). This can be fixed by simply adding an alias to the mantis apache.conf file, e.g. Alias /javascript /usr/share/mantis/www/javascript -- best regards Wolfgang *Amino | Mob: +44 7554 457 455 | Desk: +44 1954 234 190 | skype: wszachauamino*

Well, I happen to disagree with your explanation. The default Alias in javascript-common.conf points to a folder that does not contain the necessary javascript files for mantis, and therefore these files are not found and that IS a problem. Only when I add another Alias into the mantis apache.conf file to point at mantis' javascript folder, can these be found properly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#634829: libpam-mklocaluser: login fails when used in conjunction with sssd
Hi Petter, the script fails at the very first Popen call. If I replace proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell-True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,) with proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell-True, stdout=None,) the call succeeds. If the user has a local account, login succeeds, too. I haven't tested any further combinations (e.g. home directory, primary group membership, etc.) so far. I wonder why the author have specified subprocess.PIPE, since the actual output is not captured anywhere in the script?

Attached is a modified version of the python script which works for me. Essentially I have added some poll() calls to ensure the shell commands are completed before communicating with the subprocesses. I have also added two lines in the runcmd subroutine to log any error messages to syslog. Hope that's OK with you. I will now do further testing of this.

Bug#633095: sssd: fails to authenticate against AD and produces a system error
Package: sssd
Version: 1.2.1-4+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
I am trying to configure sssd to authenticate users against Active Directory.
The AD system is mixed W2k3 and W2k8 servers, currently using W2k3 functional
level. The config files are set up to connect to a W2k8 server, both on LDAP
and KRB5.
I have used pam-auth-update to generate the relevant pam.d files, with some
minor manual modifications (lowered the uid number for mklocaluser from
1000 to 500 due to existing user accounts with numbers in that range).
The sssd.conf file should be attached to this report (if not I will add it
manually later).
When a user logs in at a console, he is asked twice for the password. I put
sssd into debug mode (level 10 for both nss and pam) and the auth.log
shows the following:

I have tried changing the password for the user, but the error does not go away.
The login succeeds because there is a cached entry. However, as soon as the
cache is disabled, login fails.
I have tried all sorts of combinations in the sssd.conf file, but to no avail.
When I change from KRB5 authentication to LDAP authentication (and in addition
use a system wide special user for the bind) then authentication succeeds, but
I suspect that password changes will fail, since this will not retrieve a
kerberos ticket.
Centralized user accounts and authentication are very important to us and I
would
prefer to use sssd for this (instead of a complicated LDAP/KRB5 config using
seprate providers). However in the current condition I cannot roll this out into
the company. Any help would be appreciated. If this is a configuration error,
any
pointers towards my error would be appreciated.

Bug#620137: openoffice.org-writer: Saving in docx format destroys the entire file content
Hi, snip/ I would have thought that if a widely used package like OO0 3.2.1 offers saving in docx format, that it is also supposed to work reasonably well. I am even offering you a file that shows a particular case where it doesn't work at all. If I were a developer on this team I would be grateful for being given the opportunity to improve my product. From what I hear from improving the product? You mean Debian or OOo? OOo is dead. Debian will not contain OOo in the future. And we already iimproved the product by switching to LibreOffice for wheezy. But whezzy isn't released yet and won't be for quite some time. I need to work with the stable release. Don't get me wrong. I understand the move to LibreOffice and I support it. But I also have to support my 100 users. Besides that, you expect Debian rock-solid and stable and then also expect that we either remove docx support and/or update the whole filter stuff to OOo 3.3/LibreOffices one? Eventually causing more bad bugs? Sounds like a contradiction to me. No, I expect released software to work. Otherwise don't release it. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but the current situation is that unsuspecting users stand to lose a lot of their work. you, that is not going to happen. That's disappointing, to be honest. Valid point, but I am not a OOo (nor LibO) se, and neeither do I (or am even willing to do) upstream development there. OK, understood. So what should I do? I can test this against LibreOffice on wheezy, and raise a separate bug if the problem is there, too. Is there anything I can do to ensure that this gets looked at for the OOo package in squeeze?

Bug#620137: openoffice.org-writer: Saving in docx format destroys the entire file content
Package: openoffice.org-writer Version: 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss A document originally created in MS Office in docx format can be opened in OpenOffice, however when the document is then saved in docx format, something goes horribly wrong, possibly with the TOC table. Subsequently MS Office refuses to open the document with an error message and when the document is opened with OpenOffice, it only has page and footers, and the basic structure of the original document, but the entire content is lost. I have tried to fix this by converting the document into a zip file and then manually removing the offending parts (according to the vague error messages from MS Office), but that just makes it worse. Since the docx output from OpenOffice is readically different from the output generated by MS Office, cut and paste is not an option, either. The relevant document is attached. To recreate the problem, follow these steps: 1) Open the document in OO 2) Save under a different name in docx format 3) Close all open documents 4) Open the saved docx document Result: page structure is retained, TOC is retained, but on subsequent pages all content has disappeared. The outline elements are still visible (bullet points, headers, table outlines) but none of the text is there. The TOC is not recognized as a TOC any longer and cannot be updated. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openoffice.org-writer depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libicu44 4.4.1-7International Components for Unico ii libstdc++64.4.5-8The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libstlport4.6 4.6.2-7STLport C++ class library ii libwpd8c2a0.8.14-1 Library for handling WordPerfect d ii libwps-0.1-1 0.1.2-1Works text file format import filt ii openoffice.or 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2office productivity suite -- share ii openoffice.or 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2office productivity suite -- arch- ii ure 1.6.1+OOo3.2.1-11+squeeze2 OpenOffice.org UNO runtime environ ii zlib1g1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages openoffice.org-writer recommends: ii default-jre [java5 1:1.6-40 Standard Java or Java compatible R ii openjdk-6-jre [jav 6b18-1.8.3-2+squeeze1 OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspo ii openoffice.org-ema 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2 office productivity suite -- email ii openoffice.org-fil 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2 office productivity suite -- legac ii openoffice.org-jav 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2 office productivity suite -- arch- ii openoffice.org-mat 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2 office productivity suite -- equat ii sun-java6-jre [jav 6.22-1Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment ( Versions of packages openoffice.org-writer suggests: ii openoffice.org-base 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2 office productivity suite -- datab pn openoffice.org-gcj none (no description available) Versions of packages openoffice.org-core depends on: ii fontconfig2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcurl3-gnut 7.21.0-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdb4.8 4.8.30-2 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgraphite3 1:2.3.1-0.2SILGraphite - a smart font rende ii libgstreamer- 0.10.30-1 GStreamer libraries from the base ii libgstreamer0 0.10.30-1 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhunspell-1 1.2.11-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libhyphen02.5-1 ALTLinux hyphenation library - sha ii libice6 2:1.0.6-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libicu44 4.4.1-7International Components for Unico ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libmythes-1.2 2:1.2.1-1 simple thesaurus library ii libneon27-gnu 0.29.3-3

Using the drivers from the Gigabyte CD, installation of Win XP was without problems. When booting Debian from the above CD, it sees both hardware drives as independent SCSI drives and not as a RAID1 array. The partitioning section of the installer won't allow me to combine the two drives without losing all data on them (which is obviously not what I want) and it cannot combine individual partitions into RAID sections either. The hardware itself works like a dream (under windows, that is). The Gigabyte CD and website do not give any clues regarding Linux drivers. On the other hand the RAID is done by a part of the BIOS and therefore should be visible as such to the installer. Also a bit strange is the fact that my network configuration seemed to have a problem. When running under windows, the DHCP provided by blueyonder works fine. In the installer it would appear that the USB drivers are not included in the 2.6 kernel which I loaded and therefore no DHCP service is available. This seems strange as I thought the 2.6 kernel included USB drivers from the start ??? Any pointers will be much appreciated.
