[Bug 1311886] Re: nsd fails to install

2014-10-14 Thread Ian Justman
To over-simply demonstrate the flow of what I'm seeing and how my
actions allow it to work, consider this:

In theory, here is what happens given the .deb the way it is now:
1.  dpkg unpacks the .deb.
2.  dpkg attempts to start the daemon.
3.  dpkg adds the nsd user and group if it doesn't exist already.
4.  dpkg reports to the installed list that nsd installed successfully.

Since nsd assumes that the default user to start as is nsd and if this
is a first-time install, the user nsd will not exist.  As such, step
#2 will fail, keeping the remaining steps from continuing.

If steps 2 and 3 are reversed, a first-time install of nsd will actually
succeed.

To work around this problem, once the files are unpacked, I back up the
main config file, tell nsd to start as user daemon via the config
file, then tell dpkg to configure the package.  Once done, I restore the
original config file, then restart nsd.

Any timeline on when this will be fixed?

[Bug 1311886] Re: nsd fails to install

2014-10-08 Thread Ian Justman
Indeed.

What I've found is that the user add function to bring the user/group
nsd into existence comes AFTER (WTF?!?!) the system tries to start the
daemon.  What I tried doing was using another unprivileged user (e.g.
daemon) so the daemon starts when I do the dpkg --configure -a or
apt-get -f install.  I do not want to do a random useradd; I would
rather the packaging system add it per policy, not assign a normal user
ID (anything above 1000) willy-nilly.

I'll show you an example which can tacked on at the end of the
/etc/nsd/nsd/conf file:

server:
  username:  daemon

Then I perform a dpkg --configure -a or apt-get -f install

Once the program starts, I will shut it down via service nsd stop ,
then removing the above stanza from /etc/nsd/nsd.conf.  Then it works
normally since the useradd portion of the script had a chance to do its
thing.

[Bug 577796] Re: Filling disk with data leads to [sda] Unhandled error code. [sda] Result hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_TIMEOUT

2011-03-08 Thread Ian Justman
I have gone with 2.6.38-5 from Natty and the problem has not shown up.
In fact, I was seeing three different problems, notably ethernet device
hangs (Intel onboard controller), CPU soft lockups (usually on a
php5-cgi process), and of course, the disk errors.  I've been running my
server with this kernel for eight days plus nearly six hours with NO
incidents of any of those three events I've seen in the past thus far.
And the Natty kernel is running on a Maverick setup.

[Bug 577796] Re: Filling disk with data leads to [sda] Unhandled error code. [sda] Result hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_TIMEOUT

2011-02-12 Thread Ian Justman
I'm running an Opteron 2378 (2.2GHz) quad-core processor running a
SP5100 southbridge, equivalent to an SB700-class chip. I am having the
exact same problem and I've tried two different pairs of drives,
different makes and models (started out with two WDC Caviar Green 750GB
drives, moved to Seagate 1TB Barracudas (no XT, no LP)).  It makes no
difference; the system still crashes.  For the record, the board is a
Supermicro H8DI3-i-F board.

Likewise, the time and manner of problem is highly unpredictable.  It
appears to be a case of interrupt loss, and there is otherwise no
hardware issue that I can discern with the drives themselves.

I have yet to try pci=nomsi, but I have tried with pci=noacpi with
identical results, a crashed system after a random period of time.
However, I have my doubts whether this will work since, apparently, the
AHCI controller is not using MSI-based interrupts (it shows AHCI
connected as a IO-APIC-fasteoi interrupt).  The ethernet controller
does, however, use a PCI-MSI-edge interrupt, as does the PATA
controller, which I do not use.  If need be, I can furnish all the
necessary data.  I just need to know what is needed.

Also, will the pci=nomsi item actually help me?  I ask because, as I
indicated, this controller apparently does not use such an interrupt.

A belated update, once I noticed the messages saying that it's a
mod_fcgid bug, I went ahead and upgraded everything but that, keeping
mod_fcgid at Karmic's level.  Machine's purring along now and no
complaints.  There are unrelated issues, but this particular problem is
solved until the Debian fix finds its way into the Ubuntu .debs.

[Bug 573591] [NEW] Uploads greater than 64 kilobytes corrupted under PHP 5.3.2

2010-05-02 Thread Ian Justman
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php5

I run a Mediawiki server which I just recently upgraded to Lucid Lynx.
My wiki's users originally reported issues with uploading PNGs, but
further testing on the actual server along with a VM show that it is not
MediaWiki itself that is doing this but PHP.  Using a very simple HTML
and PHP script setup, I uploaded several files, mainly images but I also
uploaded .ZIP files as well.  Under PHP 5.3.2 even using either my full
live system or a very basic setup*, all files greater than 64 kilobytes
were corrupted at about the 64 kilobyte mark.  The amount of corrupted
data varies but it doesn't appear to be more than about 32 kilobytes.

However, in stark contrast, PHP 5.2.10 in Karmic Koala running in
another VM works just fine using the exact same very basic setup.

Both of these setups are running x86-64 installs.  I have yet to try
x86-32 installs.

This might be an upstream issue in PHP 5.3.2 since they ditch mime_magic
in favor of fileinfo, so I am going to test this in other distributions,
notably Debian.

-

*The very basic setup requires the following packages and their
dependencies be present per my own production setup:

php5-cgi
apache2-mpm-worker
libapache2-mod-fcgid

Note that in Lucid Lynx, I do NOT include any other PHP modules,
including Suhosin.

Optionally, I add apache2-custom-suexec (which is required on my
production setup because I do not use /var/www but /home/wwwhome).

The changes to the default setup involve adding a few lines to
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default, a few files and a directory in
/var/www, along with chowning -R ianj:ianj the entire /var/www
hierarchy, then enabling suexec.  The configs and /var/www hierarchy set
up appropriately are in the attached tarball and is unpacked in /.  It
assumes the username ianj who is in group ianj.  Adjust system or
configs to suit.

Actually, as it turns out, it's more an Apache problem than a PHP
problem.  I tried to downgrade PHP, but it turns out that it won't work.
Instead, I brought PHP to Lucid's level, but installed Apache from
Karmic, and that solved the problem.  At this point, I suspect that I
might have a buggered config, or there may be a bug in Apache that needs
addressing.

[Bug 61903] Re: dhcp3 fails to start during boot-time but starts seamlessly invoking the init-script manually

2009-06-08 Thread Ian Justman
My fix for dhcp3 starting on power-up is to chgrp the /etc/dhcp3
directory to dhcpd, then it works.  Won't work for everyone, but for me,
since the box is only a DHCP server, it's fine.

The error that flies by but it says that it can't read the config file.
That's because the directory is owned by root:root and is set to 750, so
you gotta be root or in group root to see what's in that directory.

A possible solution in case both client and server need access is to put
the dhcp and dhcpd users into the root group.  The idea is to make
sure that both users SOMEhow have access to that directory.

[Bug 306835] Re: vmware-guestd crashing

2009-02-04 Thread Ian Justman
I picked up the source to follow up on Dimitry's suggestion.

First, I attempted to remove particular patch.  Build fails because
apparently, without the format string, it would generate a warning, and
the compiler is being run so that warnings become errors.  As such, the
formatting string is necessary, so I used his other recommendation:
pulling out the newline, leaving just a bare %s.  Built it and it seems
to work fine; the problem seems to manifest itself when guestd presents
the VM's IP information to the host to give to the management interface.
I never got this information with the bugged version of guestd with the
newline still in (it crashes before I get this info in my browser; it
probably crashes while it's in the act of doing so), while I received
this information shortly after I fired up guestd.

detail.

In any event, I had migrated to the Debian version temporarily (which
worked pretty well), but upon receiving this bit of advice, I went back
to 4.4..20-8.1ubuntu3.1 and did the restart.  That did the trick.

I feel minorly like a fool, but eh, I guess it happens to all of us.  :)

Thanks!

[Bug 153996] Re: libdb4.4 in gutsy breaks postgrey and subversion

2008-03-16 Thread Ian Justman
I appear to be completely up to date on Postgrey and its dependencies as
well (running libdb4.4 4.4.20-8.1ubuntu3.1), and as of right now, it is
STILL broken as evidenced by the following:

Mar 16 02:22:36 haruhi postgrey[4042]: cleaning up old logs...
Mar 16 02:22:36 haruhi postgrey[4042]: cleaning up old entries...

Mar 16 02:22:37 haruhi postgrey[4042]: fatal: Can't call method txn_commit on 
an undefined value at /usr/sbin/postgrey line 223.

I just reenabled Postgrey on this machine after not using it for a while
(the process had been running the whole time, but I just started using
it again on Saturday, March 15, 2008).  My users are complaining about
mounting spam.  About the only way I can fix this is a cronned restart
of postgrey every night after its scheduled cleanup time, which is not
an acceptable solution.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

[Bug 68020] Re: Azureus crashes just after startup (attempt to show sliding notification window)

2007-10-16 Thread Ian Justman
Upgrading to Gutsy caused all the problems I was having to go away.  I
can now use VNC4Server without trouble and am using Sun Java 1.6.0_x
with no ill effects

Am using stock Azureus 3.x without any problems whatsoever.

[Bug 68020] Re: Azureus crashes just after startup (attempt to show sliding notification window)

2007-06-15 Thread Ian Justman
In my case, here is what I'm seeing:

Azureus (stock or Universe) on Ubuntu Feisty Server fileserver - Xorg X
server on a Kubuntu Feisty desktop:  Works fine

Azureus (stock or Universe) on Ubuntu Feisty Server fileserver - Xorg X
server on a Ubuntu Feisty Server fileserver:  I don't know; I operate
that machine headless.

Azureus (stock or Universe) on Ubuntu Feisty Server fileserver or
Kubuntu Feisty dektop - VNC4Server on either machine:  Fails  (This is
the configuration I want/need since the machine is headless and I'd just
as soon keep it that way).

I do most of my torrenting from my fileserver so I can free up my
desktops, and since that machine runs headless, I use the VNC X server.
Since this configuration does not work and since my fileserver is not a
desktop by nature, I have to tell it to connect to another computer over
the network to a machine running a normal X server.  Then I use x11vnc
so I can look at that machine from afar.  I would rather have the VNC4 X
server and Azureus both run on the fileserver.

All machines involved are i386-class machines (AMD Athlon XP 2100+ on
the desk; Duron 1600 on the server), thus they are running the i386
version of (Ku|U)buntu.

And in all cases, the JVM in use is Sun Java 1.6.0-b105 (installed via
the sun-java6-jre package).

Elsewhere, I'd seen it suggested it might be a version of libxfixes'
being too new for the X server.  I forget where offhand.

[Bug 68020] Re: Azureus crashes just after startup (attempt to show sliding notification window)

2007-06-15 Thread Ian Justman
  And in all cases, the JVM in use is Sun Java 1.6.0-b105 (installed via
  the sun-java6-jre package).

 Please test with sun-java5-jre, I have heard through a trusted source
 that jre6 has compatibility problems and has been avoided in some very
 large production environments.

That was a pretty good suggestion.

However, when I tested with Java 1.5.0_11 as apt-gotten from the
repositories, I'm seeing the exact same results as I had originally
desdribed above.

After this round of testing, here's what I'm seeing:

--It does not appear to be the JRE.  When I use Xorg on the same or a
different machine or Mocha X on a different machine, regardless of
whether it's Sun Java 5 or 6 behind Azureus, it works perfectly).

--It does not appear the method of connecting to the X server  matters.
I tried on same machine and over a network; it consistently worked with
Xorg on same and different machines and with Mocha X on a different
machine; it consistently failed with VNC4Server on same and other
machine and X-Deep 32 4.0 on another machine).

--It does not appear to be installation-specific.  Same-machine runs of
Azureus for VNC4Server both failed on completely different machines,
even differently-purposed installations, e.g. a server and a desktop
system.  Even inter-machine runs fail.

--It does not appear that where you get Azureus itself matters.  I tried
the Universe version and the official distribution copy from SF.  Both
consistently work with Xorg and consistently fail with VNC4Server.

--It DOES appear that it is a VNC4Server issue for me.

All of the foregoing assumes a Feisty Ubuntu distribution and software
therein, with the sole exception of the official version of Azureus and
everything being fully apt-get upgraded to the most recent versions.

Basically, it works fine with Kubuntu and all-current versions of
installed libraries, both available Sun JREs, and most recent Xorg
server on the same machine.  It works fine on Ubuntu server with Xorg
running on another machine entirely with various considerations taken
into account so remote clients can connect.  It dies on VNC4Server,
same- or different-machine.

Conclusion:  Either the X server (in my case and apropos to Ubuntu,
VNC4Server) or X libraries used by the JRE are at fault.  Since there
may be other interactions going on at the library level, I'm reluctant
to completely rule them out unless there's a good way of testing that.

I will continue to follow this ticket, but I will check things out on
the VNC4Server package now.

--Ian.

FOOTNOTE:  I took my testing a few steps further and used two Windows X
servers, X-Deep 32 4.0 when it was freeware and Mocha X which currently
has a freeware offering (http://www.mochasoft.dk).  It completely failed
with X-Deep, but it worked just fine under Mocha X.  The only
complaint I have with Mocha X is that since I'm at work and the
machines I'm testing Azureus from are at home, I have to use a VPN
connection and it's a tad slow to update the screen.  But that's what I
get for using a slow connection.  And I've tried both JRE 1.5.0_11 and
JRE 1.6.0-b105.  Both work with Mocha X.  This seems to further indicate
that, in my case, at least, it's an X server issue or an issue with a
client library with select X servers.

[Bug 78282] Re: vnc4server does not start Desktop environment after security update

2007-06-15 Thread Ian Justman
I have a similar problem according to ticket 68020.  I cannot use
Azureus under VNC4Server, but the above idea of using the TIghtVNCserver
package did the trick for me.

The problem's with VNC4Server that I can see.  I've even gone so far as
to try it with external Windows X servers.  Mocha X works perfectly
while X-Deep 32 4.0 fails miserably.  Otherwise works fine with Xorg and
TightVNC.

Some info about the systems in question:

I'm running Feisty Server i386 on my fileserver and Kubuntu Feisty i386
on my desktop.

I want to run Azureus on the fileserver so I can free up my desktops and
since that machine runs headless, I use a VNC server rather than a
normal one.  Until VNC4Server is fixed, I guss TIghtVNC will do for now.

2007-06-15 Thread Ian Justman
Acutally, bug 78282 seems to be more like it in this case.  However,
thanks for the clue on that one.  The bug you reference pointed to that
one as a possible duplicate and that one had a solution I could
actually use in the meantime.  Use the TightVNC server instead.

[Bug 78294] Re: azureus (and others) cannot start main window on amd64

2007-06-15 Thread Ian Justman
I have a case where the exact opposite is true, per bug 68020.  In my
case, it DOES work under Xorg but DOES -NOT- work under VNC4Server and
it's i386 rather than AMD64/EM64T.  And I'm running Feisty on all my
production Ubuntu machines.

My normal complement I run as a desktop on that machine (which is
headless) is as follows:

--VNC4Server
--IceWM (I do not need GNOME, KDE or any heavy GUE, though TWM's entirely too 
lightweight for my purposes); this is my fileserver, not my desktop
--Azureus (I have 2.5.0.0 from Universe for testing purposes; I prefer to use 
the official version for my actual torrenting)

Works under Xorg just fine but dies after presenting splash screen or a
few screens during its first run in VNC4Server.  And it doesn't matter
whether Azureus and VNC4Server is on the same machine or are on two
separate machines.  The outcome is always the same.

I have a similar report on bug #78282 and the solution one user
suggested was using TightVNCServer in the meantime.  That advice
actually worked.  I now have Azureus running stably on TightVNC.  I
would like to at least have VNC4Server as a possible choice.

Hope this report helps.

2007-06-15 Thread Ian Justman
Another note I forgot to make.  Per 68020's advice, I tried the JRE 5
package and I had the exact same problem under VNC4Server as I had under
JRE6, and likewise, the exact same success I had, only substitute
VNC4Server with Xorg, and now, TightVNCserver.

[Bug 68020] Re: Azureus crashes just after startup (attempt to show sliding notification window)

2007-04-26 Thread Ian Justman
I will be running Azureus semi-headless by using a VNC X server on my
fileserver.  I've had trouble getting Azureus running on it regardless
of which JVM I've tried (though I was going between Sun Java 6 and
GCJ's).

After watching the messages, I decided to try something different.  Run
Azureus on one computer while displaying it on another.

Here are my results:

Ubuntu Feisty machine:
vnc4server + Azureus + Sun Java 6 (all on above server) == Crash at some point 
or another.

Ubuntu Feisty machine + Debian Sarge machine with bits of Sid:

(vnc4server on Debian machine) + (Azureus and Sun Java 6 on Ubuntu
machine as above) == Solidly fires right up and works.

This seems to apply both to the Ubuntu-packaged and upstream versions of
Azureus.

I downloaded smallish file and it worked just fine.

However, I haven't tried running long torrents on this machine since it
has a very small hard drive in it (4GB) to test reliability as all the
big drives I intend to use with this install are in the Debian machine.
Nor have I tried to run it displaying on a real X server since this
machine will never be running one to begin with once it's in production
mode.

Further, the working setup is a suboptimal setup because I'm fully
intent on decommissioning the Debian install in favor of the Ubuntu
install by moving it into the box which is presently running the Debian
install.
