Package: bash-completion Version: 1:2.1-4 Severity: minor Tags: upstream patch Figuring out how to customize the pre-installed Debian bash completions is not easy. This is probably what happens to your average CLI user when they get fed up with some of bash completion's defaults and decide to try

Package: avahi-autoipd Version: 0.6.31-4+b2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, The avahi-autoipd package places a script in /etc/network/if-up.d. When the avahi-autoipd package is removed, but not purged, this script still alters the state of the system, because it performs no checks to ensure t

Package: gnome-shell Version: 3.14.2-3+b1 Severity: normal When GNOME desktop is configured to raise and focus windows on click, and one clicks on a window title bar to raise it, sometimes the window remains "grabbed" for moving. This appears to be due to failure to handle mouse-up events, becau

Specifically gpm does not install a gpm.service file, and even as such, things are configured for systemd to hijack /etc/init.d/gpm so the daemon fails to start. Related bugs in other tracking systems, with suggested fixes: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30053 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_b

Bug#755581: systemd: emergency mode infinite loop after systemd upgrade

2014-07-26 Thread Brian Julin
Removing the old udev rules did indeed resolve the precipitating error and allow a smooth boot. I kept the files so I could recreate the boot dependency failure, so if anyone has an idea as to what output would be useful for me to collect to diagnose the strange emergency shell behavior, I can ta

It took a while to grep the vol_id culprit. It's probably this: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions: elif [ "$FSTYPE" = "unknown" ] && [ -x /lib/udev/vol_id ]; then /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions: FSTYPE=$(/lib/udev/vol_id -t "${FS}" 2> /dev/null) -- To UNS

2014-07-26 Thread Brian Julin
I just went through this ordeal myself. Here are some observations. 1) The problem causing the OP to enter emergency mode in the first place is likely because systemd does not seem to (with current packages) want to do anything with swap or non-root partitions that are referenced by UUID in /etc
