  Package: tzdata
  Version: 2018d-1
  Ubuntu release: 18.04

  There appears to be a regression with the preseeding data for tzdata in the 
18.04 release.
  When running 

 apt-get install tzdata

  I now _always_ drop into an interactive selection of the timezone
  'area' and 'zone'. This was not the case before; it is also not the
  case in Debian 'unstable' right now.

  I looked into the postinst script, but I can't figure out where the
  preseeded info would be. I tried debconf-set-selections with a preseed
  file, but no luck.

  This blocks usage of tzdata in Docker containers and is there for a
  bit annoying.

[Dustin Kirkland ]

This comment is mainly for Tim and Andrew (of Digital Ocean), who seem
offended by this behavior.

I just captured this snapshot in my Chrome browser, searching for
"Docker Cloud".  The top results of that search are not actually the
organic docker.com results, but rather a Google Ad for Digital Ocean
services.

Moreover, the HBO link wasn't even an advertisement!  It was an
interesting piece of news from this week, a blog post of an interesting
developer who did something fun on top of Ubuntu.  And we celebrated
that achievement.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1701068] Re: motd.ubuntu.com currently shows media item (HBO's Silicon Valley using Ubuntu)

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Howdy!  I'm the author of the motd-news code, as well as the story in
the subject of this bug.

Note that motd.ubuntu.com has been updated to say:

" * Ubuntu 16.10 will reach end of life on Wednesday, July 20th"

It may be useful to explain a bit of the design of motd-news.  Note that
much of this was copied over from my comment on the Hacker News thread:
https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=14663947

By design:

- Asynchronously, about 60 seconds after boot, a systemd timer fires
which runs "/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news --force"

- It sources 3 admin-editable config variables in /etc/default/motd-
news.  The defaults are: ENABLED=1, URLS="https://motd.ubuntu.com;,
WAIT="5"

- The admin can disable it entirely (ENABLED=0), change or add other
MOTD news sources (your corporate IT team could run its own), and change
the wait time in seconds

- If it's enabled, that systemd timer job will loop over each of the
URLS (note, that it's important that these should be https with valid
SSL certificates), trim them to 80 characters per line, and a maximum of
10 lines, and concatenate them to a cache file in /var/cache/motd-news

- Every ~12 hours thereafter (with a little bit of random timer
fuzzing), this systemd timer job will re-run and update the /var/cache
/motd-news

- Upon login, the contents of /var/cache/motd-news is just printed to
screen.  There was a bug (fixed now, working its way through the Ubuntu
update process), in that an empty cache file was not getting, if the
fetch failed, so the fetch was retried every time (and failed every
time, with the $WAIT delay of 5 seconds).  Obviously, it was a simple
fix.

As I am generally responsible for this feature in Ubuntu (as the Ubuntu
Product Manager for the design, and the Ubuntu Core Developer for the
implementation) I'll also respond to the discussion about this feature
being included in Ubuntu at all...

- Back in 2009, Ubuntu was the first distribution to add the concept of
a "dynamic MOTD", by introducing the /etc/update-motd.d/* structure of
scripts.  I originally implemented it for Landscape (a commercial
package management system by Canonical), but it has since also been
adopted by Debian, Amazon Linux, and others.

- It's a flexible framework that enables distro packages or
administrators to add executable scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/* to
generate informative, interesting messages displayed at login.

- This was quite interesting, in that for almost 40 years of Linux/UNIX,
the "Message of the Day" was anything but that...  It was a message that
was created at one point in time, when the distro released, and that's
about it.  And we managed to change that.

- If you look in your Ubuntu's /etc/update-motd.d/, you'll see a set of
scripts.  One prints the generic "welcome" banner.  The next one prints
3 links, as to where to find help.  You'll also find one that counts and
displays the number of package updates available for the local system.
Another tells you if a reboot is required.

- All of these are locally generated, based on local information
available on the system.

- In Ubuntu 17.04, we added /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news.  This is
the script who's design is described above.  The motivation is
threefold:

* Sometimes, there's critical information that either we, the distro, or
perhaps even the local IT administrator of a fleet of systems needs to
communicate to users at login.  Think, "ShellShock", "Heartbleed",
"StackClash".  This seems to happen every few months, in the current
state of the world.

* Other times, we need to communicate something about the distribution.
EoL messages, new feature availability, etc.

* And sometimes, it's just a matter of presenting a fun fact.  News from
the world of Ubuntu.  Or even your own IT department.  Such was the case
with the Silicon Valley / HBO message.  It was just an interesting
tidbit of potpourri from the world of Ubuntu.  Last week's message
actually announced an Ubuntu conference in Latin America.  The week
before, we linked to an article asking for feedback on Kubuntu.  Before
that, we announced the availability of Extended Security Maintenance
updates for 12.04.  And so on.

- There is a team of engineering managers at Canonical (the ~ubuntu-motd
team in Launchpad), all of who have shared write access to the source
code repository (lp:ubuntu-motd in Launchpad).  Going forward, we're
going to review one another's proposed message merges.  In fact, that's
an open source repository.  You're welcome to propose your own messages
for merging, if you have a well formatted, informative message for
Ubuntu users.  We'll be happy to review and include them in the future.

As always, I'm impressed with the critical analysis of the Ubuntu
community.  We, the Ubuntu ecosystem, are held by the Ubuntu community
to a very high standard, and we're quite humbled by that.  Thank you for
the continued feedback and response.

Cheers,
Dustin

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1691901] Re: [SRU] 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems

[Dustin Kirkland ]

** Description changed:

  I noticed quite a long time to login to some of my systems via ssh (or scp).
  Investigating lead me to find out that the '50-motd-news' file
  (/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news) was the primary cost.
  
  In line 108 [1] it does something like:
   curl --connect-timeout "5" --max-time "5" -A "..." -o - 
https://motd.ubuntu.com
  
  The systems I'm seeing this on are in a lab and do not have access to 
https://motd.ubuntu.com.
  The way the lab is configured, they just end up timing out.  So every scp or 
ssh connection
  or other path to trigger update-motd will cost 5 seconds.
- 
  
  === SRU ===
  
  [ IMPACT ]
  
  This bug affects Ubuntu 17.04 systems which cannot reach the internet
  (more specifically, https://motd.ubuntu.com).  There is a bug in the
  implementation of /etc/update-motd.d/50-news whereby the failure of the
  curl fetch of the motd news causes a 5-second delay.  This should not be
  the case.  By design, the motd is fetched in the background, by a
  systemd timer, and refreshed every ~12 hours, also in the background.
  On login, the script should just cat the cache file.  If the cache file
  isn't found, then it will try to fetch a new motd.  In the firewalled
  system case, the background fetch failed, AND didn't create an empty
  file.  The fix as attached simply ensures that an empty file is created
  if the curl fetch fails.  This eliminates the login delay and solves the
  bug.  Every 12 hours, the curl will be retried, quietly in the
  background, so if the curl failure happened for temporary reasons, it'll
  recover, gracefully, eventually.
  
  [ TEST CASE ]
  
  You can either test this on a firewalled system.  Or, if you can hack an
  entry in your local /etc/hosts for motd.ubuntu.com for an invalid IP
  address.  Without the fix, you'll experience a 5 second delay on login.
  With the fix, you'll login immediately.
  
  Failure case:
  
  $ lxc launch ubuntu:17.04 LP1691901
  $ lxc exec LP1691901 bash
  # ssh-import-id kirkland
  # echo 192.168.0.0 motd.ubuntu.com >> /etc/hosts
  # rm -f /var/cache/motd-news
  # exit
  $ time ssh root@$(lxc list | grep LP1691901 | awk '{print $6}') true
  real0m5.333s
  user0m0.016s
  sys 0m0.000s
  
- Apply the fix.  Note that it'll take one run (might be a login, a
- reboot, or the 12-hourly timer) to create the file:
+ Apply the fix.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1691901] Re: [SRU] 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems

[Dustin Kirkland ]

** Description changed:

  I noticed quite a long time to login to some of my systems via ssh (or scp).
  Investigating lead me to find out that the '50-motd-news' file
  (/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news) was the primary cost.
  
  In line 108 [1] it does something like:
-  curl --connect-timeout "5" --max-time "5" -A "..." -o - 
https://motd.ubuntu.com
+  curl --connect-timeout "5" --max-time "5" -A "..." -o - 
https://motd.ubuntu.com
  
  The systems I'm seeing this on are in a lab and do not have access to 
https://motd.ubuntu.com.
  The way the lab is configured, they just end up timing out.  So every scp or 
ssh connection
  or other path to trigger update-motd will cost 5 seconds.
+ 
+ 
+ === SRU ===
+ 
+ [ IMPACT ]
+ 
+ This bug affects Ubuntu 17.04 systems which cannot reach the internet
+ (more specifically, https://motd.ubuntu.com).  There is a bug in the
+ implementation of /etc/update-motd.d/50-news whereby the failure of the
+ curl fetch of the motd news causes a 5-second delay.  This should not be
+ the case.  By design, the motd is fetched in the background, by a
+ systemd timer, and refreshed every ~12 hours, also in the background.
+ On login, the script should just cat the cache file.  If the cache file
+ isn't found, then it will try to fetch a new motd.  In the firewalled
+ system case, the background fetch failed, AND didn't create an empty
+ file.  The fix as attached simply ensures that an empty file is created
+ if the curl fetch fails.  This eliminates the login delay and solves the
+ bug.  Every 12 hours, the curl will be retried, quietly in the
+ background, so if the curl failure happened for temporary reasons, it'll
+ recover, gracefully, eventually.
+ 
+ [ TEST CASE ]
+ 
+ You can either test this on a firewalled system.  Or, if you can hack an
+ entry in your local /etc/hosts for motd.ubuntu.com for an invalid IP
+ address.  Without the fix, you'll experience a 5 second delay on login.
+ With the fix, you'll login immediately.
+ 
+ Failure case:
+ 
+ $ lxc launch ubuntu:17.04 LP1691901
+ $ lxc exec LP1691901 bash
+ # ssh-import-id kirkland
+ # echo 192.168.0.0 motd.ubuntu.com >> /etc/hosts
+ # rm -f /var/cache/motd-news
+ # exit
+ $ time ssh root@$(lxc list | grep LP1691901 | awk '{print $6}') true
+ real0m5.333s
+ user0m0.016s
+ sys 0m0.000s
+ 
+ Apply the fix.  Note that it'll take one run (might be a login, a
+ reboot, or the 12-hourly timer) to create the file:
+ 
+ $ time ssh root@$(lxc list | grep LP1691901 | awk '{print $6}') true
+ real0m5.357s
+ user0m0.016s
+ sys 0m0.004s
+ $ time ssh root@$(lxc list | grep LP1691901 | awk '{print $6}') true
+ real0m0.316s
+ user0m0.008s
+ sys 0m0.008s
+ 
+ [ REGRESSION ]
+ 
+ This is a super simple, safe, 2-line fix with minimal regression
+ potential:

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1694730] Re: /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news calls home on each ssh connection

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Hi there.  By design, it does not fetch motd.ubuntu.com with every ssh
session.

Rather, there's a systemd timer that runs, asynchronously once about a
minute after boot, and then every 12 hours (plus/minus a random interval
up to an hour).  That systemd timer updates a cache file,
/var/cache/motd, in the background.

At login, it just concatenates the /var/cache/motd file.

Note that it's easy to disable, or change to a different MOTD server, by
editing /etc/default/motd-news.

You can also edit /etc/default/motd-news and:

 a) set ENABLED=0

 b) changed the URL to a custom one that does resolve or work for you

 c) change the time to wait

[Dustin Kirkland ]

By design, the cache file, /var/cache/motd-news, should be populated in
the background by a systemd timer that runs roughly once a day.

If that file is populated, then there should be zero impact on login.

Perhaps the background cache population should create an empty file, if
it can't reach the $URL?

Title:
  50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I noticed quite a long time to login to some of my systems via ssh (or scp).
  Investigating lead me to find out that the '50-motd-news' file
  (/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news) was the primary cost.

  In line 108 [1] it does something like:
   curl --connect-timeout "5" --max-time "5" -A "..." -o - 
https://motd.ubuntu.com

  The systems I'm seeing this on are in a lab and do not have access to 
https://motd.ubuntu.com.
  The way the lab is configured, they just end up timing out.  So every scp or 
ssh connection
  or other path to trigger update-motd will cost 5 seconds.

Bug description:
  Right now the "makedev" postinst script will attempt to create a
  number of devices in /dev, failing the package upgrade should any of
  those mknod calls fail.

  LXC containers, especially unprivileged ones do not allow the use of
  mknod, making it impossible to upgrade makedev in those containers and
  preventing Ubuntu release upgrades.

  The fix is quite simple, detect that we are running in an LXC
  container and skip the rest of the postinst script as is done in a
  number of other cases.

  = SRU
  == Rationale
  This issue prevents release to release upgrades in unprivileged LXC 
containers when makedev is part of the upgraded set. This is currently visible 
when upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04.

  == Testcase
  Install the new package in an unprivileged container. With LXD, simply use 
"lxc launch ubuntu: test" to create the container.

  Prior to this fix, the upgrade will fail on some mknod errors, after
  it, it'll go on after printing a message indicating that LXC was
  detected.

  == Regression potential
  The detection logic is based on PID 1's environment containing a 
container=lxc entry. If a non-LXC system somehow had that set, it'd lead to the 
makedev upgrade no longer creating extra devices. This is unlikely to really 
matter though since the system is clearly already functioning properly at that 
point.

  Similarly, some privileged LXC containers can be configured in a way
  where mknod is possible, this update will still disable the postinst
  for those cases as short of attempting every mknod ahead of time,
  there is no reliable way to detect any seccomp or apparmor policy in
  play.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1664748] Re: wifi connection drops, reconnects every 10 minutes

[Dustin Kirkland ]

So I tried all three of those sysctl's and the problem is still
manifesting itself (every 10 minutes, Network Mananger pops up a
disconnected/reconnected message.

Moreover, I'll not that this problem does NOT exist in 14.04 (tested
with the same hardware, same wifi+ethernet, using a 14.04.5 LiveISO,
which uses the Xenial kernel (very close to the kernel I'm running here
on 16.04).

I really believe this problem is likely in Network Manager itself.  I'm
reopening that task for now.

  I suppose this is due to the fact that MAAS sets DHCP leases to 10

  Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

  Is there a suitable workaround?  Increasing the DHCP lease time?
  Using static addresses?  Something else?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1637800] Re: add a motd script for news

[Dustin Kirkland ]

As with any user agent string sent by any web browser, the intention is
such that the server can customize the response appropriately for user.

e.g. There may be a bug that affects ARM64 users, but not any other
architecture.  There might be a kernel vulnerability that is only
exploitable machines that have been running a long time, or perhaps
machines which are definitely not vulnerable to a regression, if they've
been running for longer than the regression.  In this way, the news
server can generate the most relevant message-of-the-day for a given
system.

Or, hopefully, everything is hunky dory, and then we can wish Grace
Hopper or Alan Turing a happy birthday (a la Google Doodle) in your
Ubuntu system's MOTD :-)

Moreover, it's always easy to disable or customize the urls to the local
user or administrator's liking, or firewall it off entirely.

The goal is useful, helpful, tailored information in the MOTD.  To
actually make the "message of the day", a dynamically and informative
"message of the day".

Cheers!
Dustin

@xnox:

Totally agreed on https.  I just uploaded that fix to zesty, defaulting
to https://motd.ubuntu.com (which exists now, it didn't at the time),
and enforcing that all URLs should start with https://.

The .timer systemd unit + caching + periodic refresh is interesting,
indeed.  I'll look into a rewrite of update-motd to do it this way.
What minimum version of systemd would I need for it to work this way?

Bug description:
  Hi Dustin,

  Some recent changes introduced what looks to be a serious problem:

  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/296647523/base-
  files_9.6ubuntu7_9.6ubuntu8.diff.gz

  -SERVER="https://motd.ubuntu.com;
  +# White space separated list of 0 to many news services
  +SERVER="http://motd.ubuntu.com;
  [...]
  + if curl --connect-timeout "$WAIT" --max-time "$WAIT" -A "$USER_AGENT" 
-o- "$s" >"$NEWS" 2>"$ERR"; then
  + echo
  + # At most, 2 lines of at most 80 characters
  + cat "$NEWS" | tail -n 2 | cut -c -80

  This allows any network man-in-the-middle attacker, DNS response
  forger, or BGP forger, to write 160 raw bytes directly to terminals.

  The previous version wasn't good (open for abuse by anyone who could
  trick one of the myriad x.509 Certificate Authorities to mis-issue a
  certificate) but this version is open for abuse by significantly more
  attackers.

  While most terminals are reasonably safe against outright
  maliciousness this has been a recurring exploitation theme for twenty
  years, and even what is "safe" for them to display could be wildly
  confusing to users unfamiliar with maliciously controlled terminals.
  (And users have wide tastes in terminals, some are fairly brittle.)

  cat(1) does not do any filtering for 'safe' display of arbitrary
  inputs. less(1) does, assuming -r is not in LESS environment variable
  or the less(1) command line. If you wish to keep the pipeline, perhaps
  tr(1)'s -d flag could be useful.

  On a related note, is there a reason why the motd.ubuntu.com server
  can't do HTTPS?

  Thanks

  I'd just finished installing ubuntu-server i386 and was surprised to
  discover that after logging in I was presented with a link to

  Hi,

  while running inside an i386 lubuntu 14.04 chroot, upgrading libpam-
  systemd to version 204-5ubuntu20.2 fails leaving dpkg in a broken
  state. 'apt-get -f install' from within the chroot will not fix it,
  but if the build is made bootable and put into a iso/VM you can
  recover that way in a live session.

  the problem seems to be the /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-systemd:i386.prerm 
script failing to bring down the logind daemon with 'invoke-rc.d systemd-logind 
stop', because invoke-rd.d is only looking for the /etc/init.d/ script (doesn't 
exist) and not /etc/init/systemd-logind.conf (does exist).

  launchpad bug #1323575 seems to be a duplicate of this one.

  
  perhaps related to older launchpad bug #1305395 ?

  note we are also suffering from a failure with update-initramfs, not sure of 
the root cause of that one but I thought I'd mention it in case they were 
related, since they both started happening about the same time, a couple weeks 
ago. (launchpad bug #1317602)
  It all worked ok after the inital releases of 14.04, so 

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1563026] Re: LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Indeed, LXD was added to the default Ubuntu server seed in the 15.10
cycle, so this has been the case for at least 6 months.

LXD is extremely important to the Ubuntu server.  Basically, every
Ubuntu server can now be 100x more Ubuntu (or other Linux) servers!

This is an important and key concept to Ubuntu as a scale out platform.

Note that LXD images are *not* downloaded until you use them for the
first time, so those aren't included in the base image.

Thanks!
Dustin

  not the best default behavior to have.

  When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal

  grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1509414] Re: pre-installed lxc in cloud image produces broken lxc (and later lxd) containers

Title:
  pre-installed lxc in cloud image produces broken lxc (and later lxd)
  containers

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Problem]
  The released wily image preinstalls lxc, which breaks the assumption that 
lxc's preinst packaging script makes:

  It inspects the network to try to pick a 10.0.N.0 network that isn't
  being used, with N starting at 3, so this appears to have picked
  10.0.3.0 when it was installed on whatever system was generating the
  image.

  When a container is started, it will dhcp on eth0 and get 10.0.3.X as
  expected.  The problem comes when the lxc-net service that is already
  installed in that container starts and configures *its* lxcbr0 with
  10.0.3.X.  The networking inside the container is broken at that
  point.

  This affects LXC containers, and should affect LXD containers but
  doesn't currently, as the metadata used for lxd images is still
  pointing to a beta2 release (bug 1509390).

  The easiest way to reproduce this is to use the ubuntu-cloud lxc
  template on a wily host.

  [Test Case]

  1.) Verify expectation for each image
     - -disk1.img cloud image, check for file
     - -root.tar.xz image (used by lxd) and check for file
     - -root.tar.gz image (used by lxc)

     For each of those images, verify:
     a.) A cloud image should not have /etc/default/lxc-net
     b.) lxd should be installed (dpkg-query --show | grep lxd)

  2.) Start instance from updated image and start instance in lxc inside
     launch instance on openstack or kvm or other
     verify lxcbr0 bridge exists
     lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n bugcheck -- --release=wily --stream=daily
     # wait until lxc-ls --fancy shows 'running'
     lxc-attach -n bugcheck wget http://ubuntu.com

  3.) Start instance from updated image and start instance in lxd inside
     launch instance on openstack or kvm or other
     verify lxcbr0 bridge exists
     lxd import-images ubuntu wily
     lxc launch ubuntu
     # wait some amount
     lxc attach bugcheck wget http://ubuntu.com

  [Regression Potentional]
  The highest chance for fallout is a change in the /16 network that is chosen 
conflicting with some existing service.

  [Other Info]
  Default apt install of lxc has always picked some 10.0.X.0/16 network to use 
for its lxcbr0 bridge.  That network (often 10.0.3.0/16) would then be 
unreachable from the host.  The same behavior occurs with libvirt-bin and many 
other such services.

  We are moving that logic to happen the first time that 'lxc-net'
  service starts.

  This means first boot for a cloud instance rather than cloud-image
  build time.

  [Work around]
  To patch / fix an existing cloud image to make lxc and lxd guests start 
simply change the config of /etc/default/lxc-net to have something other than 
10.0.3.0.

  sudo sed -i '/^LXC.*10[.]0[.][0-9][.]/s/10.0.[0-9]./10.0.4./g' 
/etc/default/lxc-net &&
  sudo service lxc-net stop &&
  sudo service lxc-net start

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1503418] [NEW] [REGRESSION] launching byobu from unity uses the terminal icon rather than the application icon

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded to Wily yesterday, and it seems this regression has
crept up again (it happened around the Utopic timeframe too).

Install Byobu.

sudo apt-get install byobu

Open from the Unity Launcher.  Press Windows icon.  Type 'byobu'.  Click
on the Ubuntu terminal icon.  Byobu open in the default terminal (as
specified in the byobu.desktop file), but the icon on the left in the
unity bar is the Terminal icon, not the Byobu one.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1438510] [NEW] [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Public bug reported:

Just installed 15.04 fresh from the latest ISO (beta2).

I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to
have regressed in functionality.

In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp
(telephony duplex).

In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode.  I can't get high
fidelity sound playback to work at all.

This thread seems to be related, though the workaround within did not solve the 
problem for me:
