Bug#362713: fails to upgrade since /usr/X11R6/bin/X still exists

I think there are two paths that can cause this -- either by meddling with
the xserver-xorg contents, removing the /usr/X11R6/bin/X symlink by hand to
work around this postinst failure, followed by upgrade to a version of
xserver-xorg that re-adds /usr/X11R6/bin/X and overwriting /usr/bin/X; or by
removing xserver-xorg, letting x11-common upgrade, and re-installing a
version of xserver-xorg which x11-common failed to conflict with.

Both of these should be transitive issues that won't affect future versions
of the xorg packages; and users who experience this bug can fix it with a
reinstall of x11-common.

Bug#362554: libxp done

[Drew Parsons]

I've done libxp to my satisfaction and uploaded it.

Hopefully it'll be accepted by the time you wake up, though proto/print
will need to get through NEW before it can be used.

Drew

p.s. I think you need to put dh_installdeb *after* dh_makeshlibs in
libxrender (and others?)

Hello,

I cannot upgrade the package on my system because it repeatedly fails

Well, yes, there is one remaining file added manually by me, however the
postinst should not rely on that and fail otherwise.

Bug#362886: xutils-dev: .cf files still install to /usr/X11R6/bin, not /usr/bin

[Steve Langasek]

Package: xutils-dev
Version: 1:1.0.2-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

The .cf files added back into xutils-dev in 1:1.0.2-1 are still broken wrt
the FHS: they still generate makefiles which install binaries (and other
files) to /usr/X11R6, meaning there is an implicit conflict with the new
x11-common.  This needs to be fixed soon so that packages don't get uploaded
using the functional but buggy xutils 1.0.2-1.

The attached patch Works For Me when building autolock for X11R7.

How else, exactly, is that directory then supposed to turn into a
symlink?

Bug#362144: x-ttxidfont-conf isn't the problem here

[sacrificial-spam-address]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.11
Architecture: i396

In case anyone else is looking at this bug for ideas...

I'm having the same symptoms, but it's not #362296.
I had an xorg.conf file that listed "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/*",
but the fonts moved to /usr/share/fonts/X11/*.  The only
things in the old directory were from bitchx and xfonts-jmk.



You know, I really wish the X server would explain in more
detail *why* it can't load default font "fixed".  Is it:

- Cannot find "fixed" in any fonts.alias in the FontPath?
- Cannot find the name in a fonts.dir file?
- Cannot open the file name given in the fonts.dir file?
- File is corrupt?

To expand on Daniel's closure message:  X11R6 is dead, and this directory
needs to be removed so it can be replaced with a compatibility symlink.
Otherwise, the transition path gets much uglier as we try to track down
one-by-one all the tools that reference /usr/X11R6/bin as an absolute path
between now and etch's release.

So if the file in /usr/X11R6/bin comes from an official package, please tell
us the package so x11-common can conflict with it.  If it's an unofficial
package, update it to install to /usr/bin instead.  If it's not from a
package, move the file to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (the latter seems more
appropriate to me, the former will give you path compatibility) via the
/usr/X11R6/bin symlink).

Bug#362894: x11-common: font system completely f***ed up: fixed font not found

[Norbert Preining]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.12
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi X maintainers!

It seems that the font organization is completely crazy now:
- X cannot find the fixed font anymore:
  The fixed enty in fonts.alias in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc is not 
  included in the fonts.dir file
- there are still two different hierachies: Up to now the xorg.conf
  files contain as fontpath /usr/lib/X11/fonts ...
  But /usr/lib/X11/fonts -> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts but the later
  is DIFFERENT from /usr/share/fonts/X11/...
  so in effect the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11 are not included in
  the font path at all.
- there are no man pages how to update the font system: mkfontdir which
  has been used till now is nothing else the mkfontscale script.

All this is grave because one cannot start the X server, and even
playing around with /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc and mkfontdir didn't fix
the situation (the script could give a warning message that now you
should use update-what-the-hell). After adding the fonts.scale by hand
and adding it to the fonts.dir still now work, because of the above
fonts path hierachy mismatch. What a grat disaster, to be honest!

Forthermore, please include documentation, write up some transition
document, it is NOT up to the user to find out everything by themselves.

When it gives you that message, it does actually mean it ...

This is the recommended way to update it:
update-fonts-alias misc
update-fonts-dir misc
update-fonts-scale misc

This will be done, but in the meantime -- if you are unable to cope with
such transitions, unstable is probably not for you.

It mostly works for everyone, but in such an enormous transition (a
~60MB source package transitioning to something like 200 source
packages, as well as moving out of a directory hierachy that Debian has
known since its inception), you have to expect that the road will be a
little bumpy.  Yes, it's getting fixed, but these changes have been in
Ubuntu and in experimental[0] for quite some time with the opportunity
to test same, and the bugs reported there were ironed out.

If you're running unstable, you're going to need to have a little
patience with the process.  That's just the way it goes, I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Daniel

[0]: With minor modifications, e.g. /usr/share/fonts/X11 instead of
 /usr/share/X11/fonts.

It was not from an official package. And it was a symlink, so dealing
with it is a bit more complicated. Anyhow, I wonder what exactly do we
win by trying to remove this directory. What is the problem with just
letting where it is and allow it to rot untill the last package having
files there is removed. This is the strategy used by dpkg since ages,
why should we try to nuke that directory, just for cosmetics reasons?

Eduard.

A lot of packages (e.g. gdm) have hardcoded paths.  Personally, I didn't
bother making it a symlink when I did the transition, but it's the
release team's decision to make.

Bug#362915: x11-common: more conflicts needed?

[Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.12

Hello,

there are some more packages which install files to /usr/X11R6 and thus
probably need to be conflicted. Some of those packages are in
unstable/non-free, some are not in unstable anymore but in stable and
thus could probably lead to problems when upgrading to new stable
versions. I have no full list but here are at least two of them:
procmeter
xearth


Thanks for your work & regards

Bug#362922: xfonts-base: font-pathes change without notice

[Arne Anka]

Package: xfonts-base
Version: 1:1.0.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

the pathes where the fonst are stored chanbed from yetserday to today
without notice!!! my x did not start up anymore
instead of the former /usr/libX11/fonts/ the fonts are now at  
/usr/share/fonts/X11/ -- but my xorg.conf does not know about that i was in no 
way informed about suxch a crucial change.
instead x failed because it could not find 'fixed'.
it's not the only bad documented change in xorg 7 at the expense of
those configuring their system by hand instead of using insufficient
tools of debian.

Bug#362920: needs truetype font support to be switched on

[Drew Parsons]

Package: libxfont1
Version: 1:1.0.0-3.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

In the change from monolith to modular, some XFont defines were altered, 
e.g. BUILD_FREETYPE to XFONT_FREETYPE

I discovered it in the course of updating Xprint upstream, DanielS has
applied the patch (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603).

Since Debian has not reached 7.1 yet, it would be great if it could be
backported to 7.0.  Otherwise Xprint has to select generic fonts to print
with, which is quitw ugly.

The attached patch needs to be applied to
libxfont-1.0.0/src/fontfile/ffcheck.c.

Thanks,

Drew

This symbol is defined by the corresponding libGL; it's probably picking

This was documented in the upload of xorg-server 1:1.0.2-4 in the
NEWS.Debian file, which you would see automatically if you have
apt-listchanges installed. Note also that config files should be updated
automatically if they haven't been customized by the user. Closing this
bug.

Bug#319689: xorg: GLX/DRI mess up with radeon 9200 and recent kernels

[Thibaut VARENE]

Package: xorg
Followup-For: Bug #319689

Hi

I have been experiencing the same symptoms on my Pegasos II with recent
kernels. Symptoms are as follows:
- When gdm starts up, X hogs the CPU and the screen remains blank or out
  of sync range. It's impossible to switch to VTs, have to ssh into the
  box to reboot it.
- disabling *either* the glx or dri module fixes the issue

Kernels tested:
('-ck' are con kolivas', see http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/)
- Debian 2.6.15-1: works
- 2.6.15-ck1: works
- 2.6.15-ck3: might expose the bug sometimes (*)
- 2.6.15-ck4: will almost never work (*)
- 2.6.16 vanilla: doesn't work
- 2.6.16-ck1: doesn't work
- 2.6.16-ck5: doesn't work

Some more comments: the "(*)" above means that the bug will not always
show up with these kernels, that is, it is possible to have a working X
without tweaking the configuration file.
Investigating this a bit more, it seems to me that this bug is somewhat
related to the initialization sequence of the gfx card: depending on the
state it was left before the reboot, screen symptoms won't be exactly
the same (either totally blank, monitor going to suspend mode; or
garbage, monitor showing "out of sync range").
I couldn't tell a difference between cold and hot reboots though.
I also noticed that for the two "(*)" cases, fiddling with "UseFBDev"
setting would have an impact sometimes.

Now some technical data:

If this also happens with driver "nv" instead of "nvidia", it looks like
the atimisc driver is buggy wrt the XVideo extension.

Does this also happen if you don't enable the DRI?

Still, it's impossible to deal with X server bugs without at least
complete config and log files.

Package: xutils-dev
Version: 1:1.0.2-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

The .cf files added back into xutils-dev in 1:1.0.2-1 are still broken wrt
the FHS: they still generate makefiles which install binaries (and other
files) to /usr/X11R6, meaning there is an implicit conflict with the new
x11-common.  This needs to be fixed soon so that packages don't get uploaded
using the functional but buggy xutils 1.0.2-1.

The attached patch Works For Me when building autolock for X11R7.

Thanks,

Setting the mtrr registers by hand fixed the issue. I wasn't able to
reproduce the behavior I described in my first bug-report; I may have
been confused due to some Xv applications still working properly. Sorry.

Bug#362938: x11-common: also needs to conflict with pmud-utils

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.11
Severity: normal

On powerpc, pmud-utils installs xmouse in /usr/X11R6/bin, so x11-common
needs to conflict with it.

I have pmud-utils version 0.10-9 installed.

I'm sure there are other powerpc-specific packages that should conflict as
well.

Bug#362885: Some packages that cause this issue

[Adam Hupp]

I've run into this same issue.  I have files from the following
packages in /usr/X11R6/bin:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ dpkg -S /usr/X11R6/bin/*
dpkg: /usr/X11R6/bin/fontfs not found.
ghostview: /usr/X11R6/bin/ghostview
libmotif-dev: /usr/X11R6/bin/uil

I'm not sure where the fontfs file came from since I don't remember
adding it myself.  After removing those packages and fontfs the
install suceeds.

Bug#362940: Latest update broke gdm and can't find default fixed font

Package: xserver-xorg

Bug#362920: cvs - X11R7.0 incompatibilities

Painfully, we may have to proceed without freetype support in Xprint
after all.

After applying the libxfont patch, Xprt is able to start, and partially
works.  However as soon as I try to print, accessing a truetype font,
Xprt crashes with

Fatal server error:
PS DDX internal error while converting FreeType font 
'/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0648bt_.pfb' to PS Type1, error=11

This error does not occur with 7.1 (cvs) libraries.  The specific one
which prevents me from uploading Xprint from cvs is xfixes. cvs
requires xfixes4 while X11R7.0 only provides xfixes3.

There are a couple of alternative ways to proceed:

1) upload Xprint from X11R7.0 and ignore the crashes (not really reasonable)

2) upload with freetype support switched off.  output will look ugly
(blocky courier font instead of nice curved truetype)

3) hack cvs Xprint so it thinks it doesn't need xfixes4.

I haven't tried 3) since I assume the Xorg developers made the xserver
explicitly depend on xfixes4 for a reason. However it's possible that
reason applies to some other part of the server code not affecting
Xprint.

I'll sleep over whether 3) is viable. Besides, if the underlying bug
(assumed fixed in cvs) is in libxfonts, then uploading a cvs Xprint
won't help anyway. Indeed, a cvs version with a dodgy workaround for
xfixes4 does crash. I'm not certain that a better xfixes4 fix would
change that.

This will all clear up much more easily once Debian has upgraded to
X11R7.1.

Drew

Bug#362944: xserver-xorg-core: no direct rendering with intel i915

[Alexander Heinlein]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1:1.0.2-4
Severity: normal


Hi.

Since X11R7, i have no direct rendering with my Intel GMA i915. After
upgrating, I removed "Load"GLcore"" from xorg.conf. glxinfo reports:

"ERROR!  sizeof(I830DRIRec) does not match passed size from device driver
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering"

and, of course:

"direct rendering: No"

Before upgrading to X11R7, I used version 6.9.0, where everything worked
fine.

Bug#354221: xserver-xorg: Confirm freezing of Radeon with recent ati drivers

[Matija Grabnar]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.12
Followup-For: Bug #354221

I have what sounds like the same bug. It's been present since x.org 6.9.0 

Every time I boot x.org since then I can expect the system to freeze 
within 5-10 minutes of starting X. No logs, machine can not be accessed over
the network, ctrl-alt-del does not work, turning off the power is the only
solution. This is a very serious bug to me, it makes ATI driver useless for
any serious use. 

I have verified that this bug existed in x.org 7.0 as well.

initialy I downgraded to 6.8.2, later I used fglrx drivers which still worked.
However, there don't seem to be any fglrx drivers for x.org 7.0, so now I'm
reduced to working under vesafb driver, which doesn't support resolutions 
I want.

Please, PLEASE, do something about this bug. Feel free to contact me at my 
address for any testing or additional information which could help resolve 
this bug.

AIUI, the non-freeness issue I raised on xorg-modular, would certainly

Right.  Given they're modules, an upload of just the newer versions of
x11proto-fixes and libxfont could be done?  This is, after all, the
Grand Unified New Modular Reality. :)

Bug#362955: upper case package name in Conflicts line

[Mike Furr]

Package: x11-common
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: minor

x11-common Conflicts against the package 'XFS-XTT', but this should
be 'xfs-xtt' as all package names are required to be lower case by
policy.  I'm not sure if the current package tools enforce this
difference, but its probably best to use the lower case name in either
case.

For reference, the upstream copyright file:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/extras/ttf2pt1/COPYRIGHT?view=markup

I misremembered (confusing it with the stupid libXaw copyright issue):
it's not actually DFSG-non-free, but just GPL-incompatible IIRC --
advertising clause.  Though the Type1 assembler is one of those
'licences are easy, I'll just write one myself' types. :\

Bug#362940: Cause: Font paths not updated for custom xorg.conf

[Ted Percival]

I have determined that the cause of this is the X font directory
changing between Xorg 6 and Xorg 7.

The previous font directories were under /usr/lib/X11/fonts (which is a
symlink to /usr/lib/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, part of x11-common), whereas in
Xorg 7 they are under /usr/share/fonts/X11. Users with customised
xorg.conf files will not have the font paths updated automatically
during upgrade.

I think it's important that this be changed or a _lot_ of users will be
left out in the cold. Xorg seems to ignore paths that don't contain any
fonts, so I suggest a script to add (not just replace) FontPath lines
for each existing line that contains /usr/lib/X11/fonts, with that
portion changed to /usr/share/fonts/X11.

Do window managers need to be adapted for modular x.org?

[Moritz Muehlenhoff]

Since upgrading to modular x.org icewm isn't loaded after startx
any more. As twm still works fine, I suspect that windows managers
somehow need to be adapted to the new directory layout?

New lintian checks for X.Org 7 migration

[Russ Allbery]

I'd like to have lintian start helping with notifying packagers of the
X.Org 7 migration.  However, I don't want to make matters worse by putting
in a bad check.  If someone has a moment, could you look over the
following set of checks and ensure that they're accurate?

(I know more checks are probably needed; at the least, checks for the
versioned dependencies on debhelper and xutils-dev would be good.  But
this seems like a good starting point.)

The three check descriptions are:

Tag: package-installs-font-to-usr-x11r6
Type: error
Info: The standard location for X fonts has moved to /usr/share/fonts/X11.
 Packages providing X fonts must install them into the new path.  Fonts
 installed into the old /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts path may not be seen by
 the X server.
 .
 If the package uses imake, it must build-depend on xutils-dev (>=
 1:1.0.2-1) for the correct paths. If it uses dh_installxfonts to handle X
 font installation, it must build-depend on debhelper (>= 5.0.29).

Tag: package-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6-bin
Type: error
Info: Debian has switched to the modular X tree which now uses the regular
 FHS paths, and all packages must follow. All packages installing binaries
 must install them into /usr/bin (or some other appropriate location)
 instead of /usr/X11R6/bin.
 .
 The x11-common package attempts to change /usr/X11R6/bin into a symlink
 to /usr/bin, so if this migration has already occurred, a package
 installing files into /usr/X11R6/bin may appear to install
 successfully. However, such a package will be left in an inconsistent
 state and may orphan files when the compatibility link goes away.
 .
 If the package uses imake, it must build-depend on xutils-dev (>=
 1:1.0.2-1) for the correct paths.

Tag: package-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6
Type: error
Info: Packages using the X Window System should not be configured to install
 files under the /usr/X11R6/ directory. Debian has switched to the modular
 X tree which now uses regular FHS paths and all packages should follow.
 .
 Programs that use GNU autoconf and automake are usually easily configured
 at compile time to use /usr/ instead of /usr/X11R6/.  Packages that use
 imake must build-depend on xutils-dev (>= 1:1.0.2-2) for the correct
 paths.

Here is the current working lintian patch:

Ugh, sorry, all of those 1:1.0.2-1 mentions should be 1:1.0.2-2.  I cut
and pasted the wrong thing.  Fixed in my version.

Doing this was broken anyway, unless it was part of the core X Window
System, which it wasn't.

The tests look fine to me; thanks again for taking this on.

I am not sure what the problem was when I first tried VESA but this time when 
I tried it is worked well.  This is also an improvement on the older XFree86
VESA driver which I never did get to work.  So this can be closed as no longer
needed.

Bug#362869: No direct rendering for radeon 9100 IGP

[Ahmad Khayyat]

Right..

There was another package containing the same libGL.so file. I 
uninstalled it, reinstalled xlibmesa-gl, and direct redering is 
enabled.. :).


Now glxgears renders around 600 FPS, which is better but still kind of slow.

On the other hand, the display (2D) is really slow. Even switching 
between windows is slow.. I can see the new window being drawn.

It used to be a warning that said you were only supposed to do this if the
package used imake.  (Policy still says that's allowed; we'll have to get
policy changed once everything has settled down and then I can re-add the
policy references to the lintian tests.)

> The tests look fine to me; thanks again for taking this on.

Absolutely.  I'll get them committed.  We were about due for another
lintian release anyway.

Bug#357714: font directories still wrong in xorg 7.0.12

[Craig Puetz]

Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.0.12
Severity: grave
Tags: unstable

Bug #356181/357714 is still alive.  I just upgraded to 7.0.12, and
the old/wrong font paths were still there in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The result of 
this is a broken system, with only text consoles available, making 
troubleshooting very difficult. As the packages are not released for 
unstable, this will cause problems for a large number of users.

If you are relying on a working X environment, you just need to depend
on the set of X libraries you use.  If you're relying on a specific
server, you need to launch that server.

No server that I know of will reliably start and work when invoked
without any DDX-specific parameters.  Not Xorg, not Xgl, not any of the
KDrive-class servers.

Okay, Xephyr and Xnest will, but they are not what you want when you
depend on the 'xserver' package.

Same reason I made xresprobe invoke /usr/bin/Xorg directly, instead of
calling through the /etc/X11/X symlink and just hoping that it worked.

Although, upon writing this mail, I'd imagine that ?dm Depends:
xserver-xorg | xserver, is an entirely valid use case, as they require
an X server to be startable, use no DDX-specific parameters, and do not
take responsibility for X server configuration.  If that's what you had
in mind, then yeah, I'm wrong.

Either way, adding it back won't draw any complaints from me.  Merely
noting that it was removed deliberately, not accidentally.

Bug#362524: missing conflict on xearth

[Steve M. Robbins]

After an upgrade to xorg 1:7.0.12, I was left with one file in
/usr/X11R6/bin: xearth.  I subsequently discovered that xearth is
"non-free".  Possibly you missed all the non-free package conflicts?


So I removed xearth, and /usr/X11R6/bin went away.  X wouldn't start
because nothing could now be found in /usr/X11R6/bin.  Kdm's config,
for example, contains the line

   ServerCmd=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br

but it isn't the only one.

I ran "dpkg-reconfigure xorg", thinking it would install the symlink.
It didn't; I had to do so by hand.  For the record: what is the proper
way to recover after cleaning out /usr/X11R6/bin?

Thanks,
-Steve

Cool, thanks for the explanation. I didn't quite understand why it would be
removed either when Steve found it. Since the *dm use case is a valid one,
I'll re-add it.

Bug#362977: xserver-xorg-video-i810: framebuffer offset by 32k pixels

[Faré]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-i810
Version: 1:1.5.1.0-2
Severity: important

Since I upgraded my Toshiba Libretto U105 to use the new xserver-xorg
from unstable, Xorg will shift the graphical display contents by about
25 lines downwards and 768 pixels rightwards, wrapping lines around.
The result is not quite usable.

All in all that's 32768 pixels, at 4 bytes per pixel, a 128KiB offset.
This upper section of the screen is originally filled with contents of
the previous VT, and slowly being filled by regular patterns, about
26 pixels at a time, about one burst per second.

In the X log, I see notably:

(--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
Device rev 2, Mem @ 0xd800/27, 0xd000/19, I/O @ 0xeff8/3

(WW) I810(0): PRB0_CTL (0xf001) indicates ring buffer enabled

As far as I can tell, mode switching happens only through the BIOS,
and the attempt to offset the framebuffer away from the start of the
video memory may well be ill-fated. In any case, this ring buffer
allocation seems to me as being premature and causing the bug.

I haven't kept logs from previous working versions of the server;
if the information may help you, I'll send it when I have successfully
downgraded my xserver (ouch, a whole lot of stuff needs to be co-downgraded).

First off thanks for the note about xearth. I've added the conflict line.

The x11-common package provides a symlink from /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/bin.
This should handle your kdm problem. The package probably isn't fully
installed on your system due to a bug or two that will be fixed pending
another upload. Thanks for your report and your patience.

Shouldn't this conflict with xearth older or equal 1.1-10.2 (<= 1.1-10.2)? 
Only allowing old versions does not seem correct.

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After the upgrade to x.org 7.0.0 from 6.9.x, "startx" yields a default
grey X11 screen with a mouse pointer, but no window manager gets
started. ~/.xinitrc and /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager are not
honored. After a while, the X server crashes with the message that xinit
could start.

Apparently, the X server does not permit any clients to run. This is the
tail output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Bug#362894: x11-common: font system completely f***ed up: fixed font not found

But the font is there, it is a problem about not being listed in the
fonts.dir file.

This regenerates the fonts in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
but not in 
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc
But the font definition for fixed is in the later one. The problem is
the missing transition of the font pathes.

Come on. We are all developing packages, and as far as I remember we
shoult try to NOT upload packages RC bugs, not even to unstable. Ok, it
happens, but AFAIS there has not been enough testing with this
transition. 

And yes, I can cope with it. But eg
- who/what tells me what
update-fonts-alias misc
update-fonts-dir misc
  does? Which *ACTUAL* path it is working on I would have expected
  that it is /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc, at least after the email which
  was going round about fixing font packages (I got two) and moving
  the fonts to /usr/share/fonts/X11. So I would have expected that
  fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts are NOT found/NOT used, but it is
  the other way round!
- I can fix everything by hand, but this is not the way I want to have
  it as I have to test my own font package transitions, and it would
  be nice to know that the system I am running is not running out of
  pure coincidence and hand fixed!

Ovious, it is not that I didn't expect problems. It is more the lack of
any explanation/list of problems to be expected.

This is strange. Such a simple bug as "fixed not found" must have
surfaced. You cannot tell me that the simple thing like font pathes are
wrong has not occured in testing phase.

No problem with this, but don't expect me to shut up, I still will file
bug reports, and try to help them, if you tell me what I should test.

Best wishes, and although it might sound strange after this email,
thanks a lot for your work. I know that is a hell of work, and the XSF
does a very good job.

CORFE (n.)
An object which is almost totally indistinguishable from a newspaper,
the one crucial difference being tat it belongs to somebody else and
is unaccountably much more interesting that your own - which may
otherwise appear to be in all respects identical. Though it is a rule
of life that a train or other public place may contain any number of
corfes but only one newspaper, it is quite possible to transform your
own perfectly ordinary newspaper into a corfe by the simple expedient
of letting somebody else read it.

Bug#362524: missing conflict on xearth

[Steve M. Robbins]

Hi David,

I appreciate your prompt reply.  I imagine you and the rest of the
X11-packaging team must be feeling a bit under fire at the moment.
I'd like to let you know that your efforts are greatly appreciated,
nonetheless.

OK.  I did actually have x11-common installed.  I removed the symlink
and ran dpkg-reconfigure x11-common and the link came back.  Thanks
for this.

By the way, the dpkg-reconfigure spit out the following error

  /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.postinst: line 918: [: too many arguments

[this is x11-common 7.0.12].  If this isn't part of the "bug or two"
that you are already aware of, you might want to have a look.

Cheers,
-Steve

Yeah, I've fixed that bug in svn and will be uploading it ASAP. Thanks

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-2
Severity: important

After upgrading to modular X, startx and the rest of the X initialization
process stopped honoring .xsession and .Xresources.  I had to rename
.xsession to .xinitrc and add an explicit xrdb -load .Xresources to it to
restore the previous behavior.

If this is intentional, it probably needs to be documented in NEWS.Debian,
as it's likely to bite a lot of people.

Bug#362891: xserver-xorg: Evidence of post and pre-install failures

[Ian B. MacDonald]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.12
Followup-For: Bug #362891

Well, I was hoping to diff the xserver.org.postinst between the .10 and
.12 releases.. but dpkg -x doesn't extract these files from my old .10
.deb in my apt cache.

I thought it might help to note I received both a failure on the

I upgraded on Friday, and was up and running with 7.0 after some apt cycles, 
including reviewing of "dpkg -l | grep 6.9", and "cat /var/log/dpkg.log" for 
'removes' I should add back in after the upgrade. I expect little hiccups with 
major transitions like this, as I have configuration entropy dating back from 
Potato. I knew forcing the dist-upgrade could have consequences.. but my X is 
still up 7.0 all weekend, with manual start of gnome, and no gdm.. but hey, I'm 
working :) - I'm just not going to hit CTRL-ALT-Backspace until this little bug 
is figured out here..

My PPC laptop is purring with updates from this morning on 7.0.10; I won't
try upgrading it in case this X dies..

Can you edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.postinst to change the first
line to read "#!/bin/sh -x" and then run dpkg --configure --pending, and
post the output?  This should give us a clear indication of what's failing.

This should not be possible.  Your reportbug template claims that you have
x11-common 1:7.0.12 installed, but this package provides both /usr/bin/X,
and /usr/X11R6/bin as a symlink to /usr/bin.

Please provide the output of these commands:

$ ls -ld /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/bin/X /usr/bin/X
$ dpkg -l x11-common

This is a separate bug that I believe is being worked on.

Bug#362992: x11-common: uses debconf in preinst without pre-depends

[Steve Langasek]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.12
Severity: serious

The x11-common preinst script sources /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
unconditionally, but x11-common does not pre-depend on debconf.  Since
debconf is not Essential, this is an RC bug.

I suspect that the only use of db_* in x11-common.preinst belongs in a
.config script, not in the preinst script, since the only thing being done
is renaming some debconf questions in the database.

Of all the bugs currently open, this is probably the most critical.  I
thought this fix had already been uploaded; I guess that means half the
messages I've sent to the BTS today are wrong...

If you don't have time to upload this tonight, I'd like to be able to NMU
(or upload what's currently labelled -13 in svn) to get this fixed.

Ugh... I've just realized that x11-common 7.0.12 is still the one with
broken handling of removal of the /usr/X11R6/bin directory.

So it's not unreproducible at all, in fact I still have a machine here
that's in this state.

The bug should be fixed with the upload of xorg 1:7.0.13, which I hope will
happen soon.

There are an indeterminate number of packages which have hard-coded paths
referencing binaries via /usr/X11R6/bin.  There are also some which
reference binaries via /usr/bin/X11.  We can either hunt down all hard-coded
references to /usr/X11R6/bin one-by-one and hope that we find them all
before release, or we can force all packages that install to /usr/X11R6/bin
to move together to /usr/bin and make /usr/X11R6/bin a compatibility
symlink.

Or we can stick our heads in the sand and release etch with a bunch of very
irritating bugs that will bite everyone later.

If you ask me, I think it's better to keep the vast majority of irritating
bugs confined to unstable, and only make users of stable deal with the
single issue of moving their files out of /usr/X11R6/bin; which is why I
asked David to implement this transition when it became clear that things
were breaking because of the move to /usr/bin.

I just ran across this and tried that - it dies right after sourcing the
debconf confmodule - debconf's exec line to restart the scripts exit's
64.  Commenting out the sourceing of confmodule lets the script run to
completion, although that is clearly not a general solution.

This is possible if you have xearth installed - it sits in
/usr/X11R6/bin/X, and the upgrade path doesn't install the symlink,
leaving you without a working /usr/X11R6/bin/X for gdm.  Uninstalling
xearth and redoing the upgrade fixed it here.

Description: Digital signature

Release Notes should document possible issues with X transition

[Frans Pop]

Package: release-notes
Severity: important

With the release of modular Xorg 7.0 packages, some structural changes 
have been made that may hit users during upgrade and thus should be 
documented in the Release Notes.

The most important issue is that /usr/X11R6/bin has been dropped and only 
remains as a symlink to /usr/bin. This means it has to be empty at the 
time of the upgrade.
The new packages conflict with most packages that used /usr/X11R6/bin, but 
maybe not all have been caught. The RN should document how users can 
prepare for the upgrade and how they can work their way out of trouble if 
a conflict should arise.

A potential other issue is that paths for fonts and modules have changed 
and thus changes in the X configuration file may be needed. Whether this 
really is an issue depends on how well conversion of old X11 config files 
is supported at the time of the release.

Er, that should have been /usr/X11R6/bin, obviously.

Bug#362997: dual head on PCI G450 fails

[Peter De Schrijver]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga
Version: 1:1.2.1.3.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important

Dual head operation on a PCI G450 fails. The first screen is not
initialized properly. The result is an incorrect video signal on the
first port. This likely has to do with mga driver not being able to read
the BIOS for the correct timing parameters. For a single head
configuration, the UseFBDev parameter can be used. This option causes
the mga driver to use the kernel fb device for mode switching and
mmapping of video memory and accelerator registers instead of directly
going to the hardware. For a dual head configuration this does not work
because the mga driver tries to resolve the fb /dev entry by only looking at
the PCI ID. As the PCI ID is the same for both screens, the mga driver
will use the same fb device for both screens which obviously results in
chaos :-). A working solution is to add an fbdev option which allows
specifying the fb /dev entry for each screen. It's probably adviseable
to always use the fb interface instead of trying to mess around with
mmapping the BIOS directly.

I missed your message at xorg-modular, when did you make it?

Yes, that's right, just the advertising clause.  My guess is they
generically grabbed the BSD licence at the time. A nice solution would
be if ttf2pt1 changed their licence to modern BSD.  I might ask them.

Cool! Thanks for volunteering to do it ;)

It'd be nice if that's true, and it would make sense.  Older xserver
code simply wouldn't use the two new xfixes functions.  However someone
at #xorg said he wasn't sure it was that simple, and that it might
destabilise the system.  I can't judge whether he is being overly
pessimistic or not.

I'm all for uploading the newer Fixes and Font if it's safe to do so.

Yes, that's what I'm doing right now.  but I haven't found how to
reproduce this bug so it will take a while. I was hoping that if
anyone else see the same symptom.

you mean xserver-xorg-video-ati? i still can't install
xserver-xorg-video-ati since some tools I'm using conflicts others.

I doubt it but will see.

Thanks for you comments.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I expected, though I have no idea why it's
happening. :/

Couple of wild guesses:

- is your system configured to use cdebconf?
- what do you have as /bin/sh?
- (to the maintainers) is there anything new in the templates that could
  cause a parse failure?

No - /usr/share/debconf/frontend is invoked.

/bin/bash

Except for potentially vast amounts of cruft dating back to slink or
potato, this machine shouldn't have too much unusual about it.  It's odd
that a reasonably fresh install on another machine does not fail here,
though, so I will dig a bit and see what I can find.
