The issue I mentioned was with the alternate installer, and only would have been
an issue with the Server Edition CD (since that CD tries to install the -server
kernel if it can).

The originally reported issue is not likely due to a problem with the installer.
The -generic kernel should not cause this issue, and (as far as I am aware) the
desktop CD should ship with the -generic kernel.

In short: this is a problem with the -generic kernel, as far as I am
aware.

The calibration utility is patched to use font freemono, but this
package does not depend on ttf-freefont or x-ttcidfont-conf, and the
calibration utility fails to run when these packages are not installed.

[Bug 300742] [NEW] mkinitramfs handles errors very badly due to use of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions

2008-11-21 Thread Forest Bond
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

mkinitramfs uses /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions for
handling certain tasks.  Errors that occur in those functions cause the
panic function to be called.  This launches an interactive shell that
steals /dev/console.  If this occurs when the user is running X, the
keyboard stops working.  This is rather unpleasant.

To trigger the bug, try adding a hook with a hyphen in the filename
(i.e. /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/foo-bar-baz).

Actually, Python's default search path always includes the current

It was a long time ago that I suggested the above fix.  I think that the
reasoning was that I was trying to avoid removing the standard library,
but the whole thing looks a bit half-baked to me now.

2008-10-16 Thread Forest Bond
bobbyjean58,

The standard place for this kind of setting is in /etc/sysctl.conf.  Add
the following line to that file:

net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0

This is preferred over /etc/init.d/rc.local (actually, you may want to
change /etc/rc.local instead of that file, too).

I agree, though.  Ubuntu is supposed to be easy to use, and editing
/etc/sysctl.conf is outside of the what many users ought to be
reasonably considered to do.  I understand that this is ultimately a
router bug, but why aren't other OS's affected?  Do they also fail to
set the timestamp header?

Adam,

 * What makes TCP timestamps desired?  What do they get us?
 * Why don't other OS's (OS X, Windows) experience the same problem?

I agree that Linux shouldn't be buggy to work around router issues,
however, the fact that other OS's have no issues suggests that there may
be some compliant behavior that does not trigger the router issue.  It
would be advantageous to ship a reasonable work-around.

Thanks,
Forest

I did some tracing with wireshark and found that a response packet was

It's just that larger HTTP downloads are more likely to fail due to

BTW, firestarter doesn't seem to help here.  I suspect that if it
appears to work for anyone, it's probably coincidental.  Please feel
free to correct me if I'm wrong.

What's confusing about this bug is that it certainly appears to be in
the TCP stack somewhere, but it obviously isn't affecting a lot of
people or there would be more reports.  It's not limited to a particular
driver, though, because I see it with both my wired and wireless
connections.

This is a real show-stopper for me, though.  TCP becomes totally
unreliable.

Let me add that I am on Intrepid, to which I upgraded from Hardy.  I

It might be nice if update-initramfs made some effort to correct the

initramfs is probably not the ultimate cause if the incorrect value, but
that would at least fix it after the fact.

`bzr rm foo' fixes the situation.  This has to do with bzr's noticing that the
file was removed, and considering that a removal from the working tree, rather
than a missing file.

[Bug 241700] Re: requires user interaction on installation

2008-09-23 Thread Forest Bond
This is a result of the following line in the postinst script:

  lpadmin -h localhost -p $queue -E -v cups-pdf:/ -m lsb/usr/cups-
pdf/PostscriptColor.ppd -o printer-is-shared=no -o PageSize=$size
2>/dev/null || :

>From the lpadmin manpage:

  COMPATIBILITY
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain 
any printable  character  except
SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".  Also, printer and class names are not 
case-sensitive.  Finally, the CUPS version
of lpadmin may ask the user for an access password depending on the 
printing  system  configuration.  This
differs from the System V version which requires the root user to execute 
this command.

What a bummer.

If lpadmin requires interaction under certain circumstances, we either
need to avoid those circumstances in maintainer scripts, or not use it
in maintainer scripts.

FWIW I see issues with the compose key setting similar to what was

2008-08-19 Thread Forest Bond
My understanding of this issue is that it is really a GCC bug, since GCC
uses CMOV when compiling for 686, even though it is an optional
instruction.

The traditional work-around is to compile for 586.  I believe kernel
option CONFIG_M586=y should fix this.

Note that current Ubuntu Server kernels already don't boot on C3 and
other CPUs since they have CONFIG_M686=y.

Hm.  Dunno what to say; I've heard the opposite.  Of course, you can install
Ubuntu Server edition and then use a -386 or -generic kernel, and that would
work just fine.  Perhaps there is an installation option to do that?

Note that I've not actually installed Server Edition myself, so this is mostly
hearsay for me.

I think what's going on is this:

It's far from unheard of for VIA to use a slightly different processor on the
same model mainboard without marking the mainboard any differently.  To make
things more complicated, a C3 processor can have any of a variety of different
cores, including the Samual 2 (C5B), Ezra (C5C), Ezra-T (C5N), and Nehemiah
(both the C5XL and the C5P are marketed as Nehemiah cores).

The Nehemiah cores implement CMOV, while the Samuel 2, Ezra, and Ezra-T cores do
not.  I'm betting you actually have a Nehemiah core.  What does /proc/cpuinfo
contain for you?

Perhaps there was a software change, too, but I was just dealing with someone
yesterday that was unable to boot his Ubuntu Server Edition system on a C3.

Well, for what it's worth, I have one case where a user installed Ubuntu 8.04

time after installation.  I'm unable to provide much more information,

2008-08-21 Thread Forest Bond
Okay, here's the story:

In package base-installer, there is a script "kernel/i386.sh" that detects which
kernel should be used based on a variety of factors, including CPU attributes.
This detection is imperfect, and (while it worked in your case, MG), it does not
override the -server kernel choice on some boards that do not support PAE (like
the Luke CoreFusion CPU on the EK, apparently).  That is how the same software
version results in a non-booting system on an EK, but works fine on some other
boards with CPUs that do not support PAE and/or CMOV.

I've been told that PAE detection will likely be implemented for Intrepid.  That
should resolve most of the remaining CPU compatibility issues.

2008-12-21 Thread Forest Bond
Hi David,

If the device is rapidly connecting and disconnecting in a way that
isn't contained by the USB subsystem, isn't that going to cause problems
for the block device driver and, consequently, the filesystem driver?
If you have problems in kernel space, who cares if hal is confused?
Aren't things going to head south anyway?

Anyway, I've seen this issue many times running in nothing more than an
initramfs environment, without hal.

I don't believe it's accurate to say that "Kernel developers apparently
don't believe it has anything to do with the kernel".  The kernel bug
report that is linked to appears like it may have actually been caused
by defective hardware in that particular case.  We're probably not
seeing a good response from kernel developers because we are trying to
piggy-back real bugs on top of a report caused by a hardware defect.
We're just not communicating with kernel developers well.

I don't know.  I don't think there's any value to the community in maintaining
this.  VIA apparently does not have resources to assist with development or
maintenance of VT6655 or VT6656 in-tree drivers.  I don't think they have any
interest in what we do here.

The original author(s) are not likely to participate on this end of things.  My
intent has been to get these drivers into staging with hopes that:

 * They may see some distributions pick them up, despite the problems with them,
   since this is the only avenue by which users with this hardware will see
   support (apart from compiling the drivers themselves).

 * There will be some interest from kernel developers in helping to clean them
   up.  I've heard from a few interested parties.

If you/Canonical are interested in helping with any of this, I think the best
thing to do is coordinate and get patches directly upstream, for now.  As I
understand things, these chips are not incredibly popular currently, but that
may change over the coming year or two (I suspect the VT6656 might get put into
a netbook or two).  If Ubuntu can distribute the drivers from staging, that
seems like it would be handy, but I understand the reasons for not doing that.

Unfortunately, my time is beginning to grow quite short.  I'll point out your
notes here to a few other developers that have shown some interest.  I'm happy
to be a coordinator, but probably won't be able to do a lot more with the code
itself for a little while.

Thanks,
Forest

Some of the earlier comments rather confuse the point.  As the bug title
says, bzr "should avoid loading modules from working directory," whether
that is the result of '' being in sys.path or otherwise.

Harald,

I'm afraid what you're saying isn't adding up.  I can see from your test
script that the CWD is in your sys.path.  That clearly indicates that
modules in your CWD should get imported.

Why don't you tell me what you're doing to reproduce, and I'll see if I
can help you figure out what the problem is.

Thanks,
Forest

Indeed, this is what is happening.  Here's why:

My .bashrc does export PYTHONPATH="foo:$PYTHONPATH".  Given that PYTHONPATH is
empty before it executes, I end up with PYTHONPATH "foo:".  The trailing :
results in '' being in sys.path.  Python then translates this to $PWD.

So this is my fault, more-or-less.  My apologies.  I'll go make my .bashrc more
complicated.

[Bug 57515] default system-wide configuration should use "default", not "black"

2006-08-23 Thread Forest Bond
Public bug reported:

The default system-wide configuration file (/etc/Muttrc) specifies a
color scheme that uses "black" for the background.  It would be nicer to
use "default" for the background, since using "black" breaks gnome-
terminal's transparency features.

To fix, simply s/black/default

[Bug 54555] wishlist: popWindow with no refresh

2006-07-30 Thread Forest Bond
Public bug reported:

Hi,

It is quite possible, although slightly awkward to display multiple
windows using newt/snack, and update an arbitrary window.  To do so, one
must pop windows until the window needing updating is the "current"
window, redraw it, and push the popped windows back on the display.
Using this technique, it is desirable to hold off a refresh until the
entire process has been completed, especially when the user is viewing
the UI over a slow-ish network connected shell.

Unfortunately, newt automatically refreshes the screen every time a call
to newtPopWindow is made.  This is inconsistent with, e.g.,
newtShowWindow, for which an explicit refresh must be performed.

I have a patch to go into debian/patches that allows windows to be
popped without forcing a refresh.  This patch will not break current
programs using newt/snack, but allows new programs to make use of the
refresh-less popWindow function.  Please save the patch as
_pop_window_no_refresh.patch .

[Bug 63819] xutils-dev provides imake|xmkmf, which is needed by non-dev packages

2006-10-03 Thread Forest Bond
Public bug reported:

xutils-dev provides imake|xmkmf, which is needed by xutils.  xutils is a
non-dev package.  These dependencies result in non-development systems
requiring cpp,xutils-dev to be installed.  The easiest solution is to
break imake out into a separate binary package ("imake").

[Bug 70098] mkisofs doesn't properly convert lower case filenames to upper case

2006-11-03 Thread Forest Bond
Public bug reported:

The end result is that DOS is unable to fully utilize the file system.
(Using "dir" gives me a listing, but I am unable to switch to any
directories).  If I rename files prior to running mkisofs, everything
goes according to plan.  I am using the same exact options that still
work fine under Dapper / Sarge:

mkisofs -r -b boot/win98sec.img -c boot/boot.catalog -o build/bootcd.iso
src

I tried using -input-charset and -output-charset to fix the problem, but
that did not seem to help.

[Bug 70968] Ubuntu Should Automatically Mount usbfs At Boot Time

2006-11-08 Thread Forest Bond
Public bug reported:

In particular, midisport-firmware (and some other packages as well, I
assume), depend on usbfs having been mounted.  I am not aware of any
disadvantage to doing this.

I believe this worked fine in dapper.

I am the maintainer of midisport-firmware, and am happy to make changes to it if
it needs it; upstream is not extraordinarilly friendly, but I don't mind
managing a delta of some kind.  Otherwise, I wasn't sure what package this bug
should be filed against.

[Bug 27833] Re: Add support for MidiSport USB midi interfaces

2006-11-10 Thread Forest Bond
This didn't make it in time for edgy; look for it in feisty.
Temporarily, a package for edgy can be downloaded from here:

http://apt.alittletooquiet.net/fab/pool/main/m/midisport-firmware
/midisport-firmware_1.2-0ubuntu2_all.deb

Ignore the text in /usr/share/doc/midisport-firmware/README.Debian
regarding /etc/fstab.

You may need to restart udev after booting in order for the device to be
detected; I have not yet figured out why.

To restart udev:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

Yes, I think this is due to some Ubuntu-specific udev/kerenl stuff,
although I don't really know enough about that to be sure.

To be clear, silicium, you could've gotten your Midisport working by
simply changing the udev rules file, as Paddlaren himself described a
few posts after he posted his tarball.

I've tested it.  It works.

Why should plugin-browser combinations have to be tested by package maintainers?
That just doesn't seem very fair to users that want to use a less popular
browser.  They'll end up waiting a release or two before the dependencies will
be in their favor.

I guess it'd be nice if it could Depend: gecko-browser ...

Evidence of xulrunner/mozilla-mplayer compatibility?  As I said, I have a
working application that does utilize the mplayer plugin.  Were you looking for
further support of this claim?

I see two confirmations that Paddlaren's changes fix this issue:

Add one or two more to that list and I'm convinced; I'll see if I can

James Gregory?  Lev Terman?

Jérôme,

Both upstream and Debian's package are here now.  I marked upstream as
fix released.  Neither Debian nor Ubuntu should be marked fix released
or fix committed until a fix is at least in an Ubuntu repository
somewhere (I would think).  Otherwise, how are we to keep track of
whether something is actually fixed in Ubuntu or not?
