 I installed LennyBeta2 (under Qemu) with the graphical installer and
 chose crypted LVM. The thing is that on boot, the initramfs firstly
 tries to open (initiate ?) the LVM before it actually has access to it
 (because it is encrypted).

 It results in an error (attached) which could be avoided if the
 encrypted partition is opened before the LVM is initiated.

It's intentional (although not very aesthetic). The cryptsetup initramfs
scripts allows all other disk-related scripts to run first since you could
have an encrypted LVM volume as well as LVM on an encrypted volume.

After setting up the encrypted volume, the cryptsetup initramfs scripts
will then perform the LVM/EVMS/etc setup when necessary.

So the process is more like this:

  1) LVM/EVMS/md/etc
  2) cryptsetup
  3) LVM/EVMS/md/etc

Doesn't change anything.

 checkout latest trunk see wiki.d.o/DebianKernel 2.6.25-rc5

Fixes the problem.

 Wow, thanks for listening to the users.
 
 if it had users we already would have been notified.

   By the way, our first research paper using results computed using
CPUShare will be presented at the International Conference on Image and
Signal Processing 2008 (and published by Springer-Verlag in the ICISP

 NACK. Too late.

I'd like to see this for amd64 too, but I guess we are indeed too late.

Are we really releasing with .26?

Bug#485944: linux-2.6: CVE-2008-1673 problem when validating length values during decoding of ASN.1 BER data

2008-06-12 Thread Nico Golde
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.22-6.lenny1
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities  Exposures) id was
published for linux-2.6.

CVE-2008-1673[0]:
| The asn1 implementation in (a) the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.36.6
| and 2.6 before 2.6.25.5, as used in the cifs and ip_nat_snmp_basic
| modules; and (b) the gxsnmp package; does not properly validate length
| values during decoding of ASN.1 BER data, which allows remote
| attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary
| code via (1) a length greater than the working buffer, which can lead
| to an unspecified overflow; (2) an oid length of zero, which can lead
| to an off-by-one error; or (3) an indefinite length for a primitive
| encoding.

Patches are linked from the mitre site but I guess you will 
update to 2.6.25.5 anyway.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.

If Christian is truly illiterate, I think he may have trouble with
your suggestion - maybe you want to give him a call? :) Probably safer
to assume it was just an accidental typo.

I did use dch, but what is DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC? And what is wrong? I
forgot the dot at the end of the sentence? I did not start the sentence with

   No. Use dch (with DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog) if you are not
   able to read.
  
  If Christian is truly illiterate, I think he may have trouble with
  your suggestion - maybe you want to give him a call? :) Probably safer
  to assume it was just an accidental typo.
 
 I did use dch, but what is DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC? And what is wrong? I
 forgot the dot at the end of the sentence? I did not start the sentence with
 a capital letter? Sorry, I don't get it.

I don't really either - I'd assumed you'd added a new changelog entry
to a changelog for an already-released version. But, it looks like
this changelog was still tagged UNRELEASED. Maybe Bastian thought
you'd committed to 2.6.25-5 after he'd released it? Just a guess.

Bug#484779: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64: enable access to acpi battery/ac info via (deprecated) /proc files

2008-06-12 Thread Brian Knotts

One of the things this missing options breaks is the KDE Laptop Battery 
control center module.

It had stopped working for me after a kernel upgrade.

I rebuilt the kernel package with the option on, and confirmed that this was 
the problem.

Package: smbfs
Version: 1:3.0.28a-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

When I try to mount a share on a Samba-Server via mount.cifs
//server/share mountpoint -o sec=krb5, mount.cifs ask for a password
(which is not needed with kerberos) and fails with the following
error-message:

mount error 5 = Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

dmesg says: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5

sata_nv ADMA breaks ATAPI 4Gof RAM (AMD64?) and Which kernel will Lenny likely use when it is released?

2008-06-12 Thread Karl Schmidt

Please reply off-list

If you try to mount a SATA DVD or CDROM and have more than 4G on a amd64 system:

$mount cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
   missing codepage or helper program, or other error
   In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
   dmesg | tail  or so

$ tail syslog
Jun 12 14:30:17 singapore kernel: UDF-fs: No VRS found

But these error messages are a bit misleading - see the links below


I would think that they would fix the 2.6.24 4G bug if that is what they will release with, but from 
what I read that isn't going to happen?


Seems like it would be a bad idea to release with a kernel that prevents mounting the CDrom if you 
have 4G of memory.


I can't find this bug listed in debian for linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64, but I'm not sure that is the 
right place for it.

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14797.html

There is a patch around #55
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351451

I'm thinking of pulling in 2.6.25 from unstable for my machine running lenny, but don't want to 
create other problems once it goes stable.


How can I find the ETA of 2.6.25 entering lenny? (I think some of lenny is 
already frozen - would
that include the linux-image? (it isn't on the frozen list?)).

Bug#418757: Debian Etch: Patch: /proc/scsi/aacraid missing

 [Trivial patch, from Dell engineers]

Thanks Ewen. The first step in getting it into Debian would be to make
sure it gets upstream. 

Thanks for the prompt response.

I've checked the Linux 2.6.24 kernel source (eg, as in Testing now) and
it's not present there.  I also emailed the two Dell engineers listed on
the original patch and they tell me that the subsystem maintainer
rejected their patch due to the move away from using procfs for such
information (to using sysfs instead).  Apparently Dell got their core
management tool updated to use the new interface (by the third party
supplier), but it looks like the command line management tool I want to
use never got updated.

I understand your reluctance to carry a special patch in Debian, but
I do note that this appears to be a feature regression from Sarge -
Etch as Marcin Owsiany noted 14 months ago (since the /proc interface
was present in Sarge and gone in Etch, and the tool seems to have worked
with Sarge but doesn't work with Etch, due to changes in the way the
compiler handled uninitialised data and the things that needed to be
set to make the proc file appear).

Perhaps it's now too late to do anything about this.

Ewen

Bug#464910: Bug#485064: clock-setup: Detect if --directisa option is needed?

2008-06-12 Thread Joey Hess
# hwclock
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out

Just FWIW, my laptop, which has had this problem with 2.6.24 since
February, doesn't seem to have the problem with 2.6.25.

Bug#418757: /proc/scsi/aacraid workarounds

2008-06-12 Thread Ewen McNeill
FTR, a couple of (partial) work arounds for this issue:

1.  Use an older version of afacli:
http://ftp.us.dell.com/scsi-raid/afa-apps-snmp.2806076-A02.tar.gz

as suggested by:
http://wiki.club.cc.cmu.edu/org/ccwiki/AACRAID

(and various mailing list postings I eventually found.)

The older version doesn't abort when /proc/scsi/aacraid is missing, 
but is quite a bit older so is probably lacking some features.

2.  Use the Adaptec Storage Manager tools instead, following these
instructions on the Adaptec blog:

http://linux.adaptec.com/?p=17
http://linux.adaptec.com/?p=15

The instructions given there work well enough with Debian Etch
to get /usr/StorMan/arcconf running at leasst for getconfig
which allows retrieving status information.

(The Dell Perc 3/Di is an OEM'd Adaptec aacraid card.)

I'm not sure if either of these solutions gives the full control of more
recent afacli versions (eg, some options I tried with arcconf errored
out on the Dell Perc 3/Di), but they do work for basic monitoring which
was the main thing I wanted.

From discussion with the Dell engineers listed on the patch it appears
very unlikely that a newer version of the afacli tool will ever be built
that doesn't need /proc/scsi/aacraid, so patching the kernel appears
to be the only way to get the most recent version to work.  They also
told me that the Dell OMSA management set was updated to work without
/proc/scsi/aacraid, so that's possibly another option for monitoring.

So given this, and the time that has passed, perhaps we just accept this
as a Sarge - Etch regression and hope others who run into the problem
find this bug and possible work arounds.

Ewen

Bug#486033: gfs-tools: bashism in /bin/sh script

2008-06-12 Thread Raphael Geissert
Package: gfs-tools
Severity: important
Version: 2.20080603-1
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: goal-dash

Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) 
check I've found your package containing one or more /bin/sh scripts making 
use of bashisms.

checkbashisms' output:
 possible bashism in ./etc/init.d/gfs-tools line 89 ($foo should be eval
 gettext foo): 
 echo $Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status}

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which does 
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or 
unexpected behaviours.
Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a 
release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1].

If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html

For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting 
this argument at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts

Hints about how to fix bashisms:
Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS.
If not already fixed you can read:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
