Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

I'd like to include xdm in the xfce task, but I can't since it fails as
follows:

Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing.
cat: /var/run/xdm.pid: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xdm (--configure);
  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This is due to the following code:

# Don't start the daemon if it's already running...
if start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 0 --pid /var/run/xdm.pid \
 --name $(basename $DAEMON) ; then
  # Note our refusal to start the daemon if we were supposed to start it.
  [ -n "$NOSTART" ] || DENYSTART=yes
  DENIAL_REASON="xdm is already running at pid $(cat /var/run/xdm.pid)"

The fake start-stop-daemon that d-i uses, like the one debootstrap uses,
always returns true, so this test doesn't work. (This could be considered
a bug in debian-installer-utils..)

It seems to me that the easiest fix for this is to not check for a running
xdm if xdm is being freshly installed ($1 = install, $2 = "").

Sorry for the duplicate, seems like I didn't read carefully enough.

Unfortunately this is not true for the system here - the cursor doesn't
show up when switching to console and back again, neither when X is
restarted.

I'm looking forward to test this, thanks.

Oh yeah - one thing I forgot in the initial report: thanks a lot for all
the time you keep investing in building these packages! Keep up the good
work!

Package: xfree86-common,x11-common
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-3

I found the following problem while testing, with piuparts, upgrades
from sarge via etch to sid of xfree86-common. The bug itself may instead
be in x11-common, which, however, didn't exist in sarge as far as I can
tell.

The problem, as reported by piuparts, is this:

1m58.9s ERROR: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/init.d/x11-common
  /etc/rcS.d/S70x11-common

I've checked it with a manual upgrade from sarge in a chroot. I couldn't
figure out in a brief examination where the bug actually is: the X
packaging is big and daunting (which is fine, given the size and
importance of the package), and I didn't have the time to look at it in
detail.

The piuparts log file is about 170 kilobytes; if it helps, I'll be happy
to mail it, but due to the size I'm not attaching it here. The command
used for testing was:

sudo piuparts -ab sarge.tar.gz -d sarge -d etch -d sid xfree86-common

(where sarge.tar.gz is a tarball of the chroot containing a base sarge
installation with minor modifications to configuration files, used for
optimization, leave the "b sarge.tar.gz" part away to try it without a
tarball).

Comments/Problems:

I tried to actually use the 'sid' option when choosing a mirror.
I guess I shouldn't have expected it to work, but perhaps
some text in the dialog to that effect is in order.

When I rebooted, I couldn't use my USB keyboard to "OK" the
'welcome back' dialog. I had to plug it into the PS/2 port.

I continued adding stuff after the base install that exposed
some hardware issues...

The XFree86 hardware detection *almost* worked; it figured
out I have a NEC LCD1700M+NEC, but it got the HorizSync
wrong, which resulted in skipping the 1024x768 mode
and only using 800x600. Any clues on which package that
bug is in?

Mouse configuration was a pain; I did it pretty much manually,
by copying my /etc/gpm.conf from my sid system.

Sound didn't work out-of-the-box; I discovered the sndconfig
package... it figured out how to play a sound, but esd still
wasn't working... I then remembered to update-modules
and add myself to the audio group.



Those are the problems I ran into. FYI, some more context:

I was playing with grub, LVM, and reiserfs tonight,
as well as debian-installer. They all seem to get along reasonably well:

Comments/Problems:

Everything went fine with the install. However, installing X caused some
problems. The background to this machine is that it was given away by a 
company becuase it is 'obsolete'. I am setting it up for my father to use 
for web-surfing. Unfortunately, I could not get the graphics card working
for the version of XFree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-1) currently in sarge. It's a PCI
Diamond Multimedia Stealth 64 Video 2001 Series card with 1MB ram, which
has a S3 Trio 64V+ chipset. I tried S3, VESA & VGA drivers, but the best I
could come up with was a 640x480 VESA mode. So I installed Woody and got 
Xfree86 version 3.3.6 running just fine with a 800x600 16bpp mode. However, 
Sarge no longer supports Xfree86 3.3.6, and I would really prefer to be running
Sarge. So I reinstalled Sarge, and tried to build Xfree86 3.3.6 from source.
This effort failed, for various reasons (compiler related, I suspect). 
I solved the problem by running a Woody chroot of Xfree86 3.3.6 in the Sarge
install. It appears to work well, although time will tell. IMHO it would be 
nice if Debian supported older hardware without having to jump through such
hoops. I expect that recycling an old machine is a very common use case.
btw, abiword & gnumeric both ran acceptably fast on this machine -
congratulations to the developers!

dexconf currently inserts the following test in the header of xorg.conf.
Don't you think the last 6 lines are enough? I agree that it is not
totally clear that you can just run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to
get xorg.conf updated if you didn't modify the file by hand. Feel free
to prepare a patch against debconf :) Depending on your answer, I will
either close this bug or make it a wishlist against x11-common with a
updated title.

Thanks.

Bug#408034: 3 upgrade problems to xorg 7

2007-01-22 Thread Baylis Shanks

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-10

I upgraded my xwindows system from stable to testing and ran into three 
problems which took awhile to solve.


First, simply clicking on "+" in aptitude over package "xorg" produced 
broken packages. i had to manually look through the broken packages, select 
"+" for the upgradable ones, and go through the others one by one, find the 
conflicting package that was breaking them, and telling it to upgrade. After 
multiple iterations of this I ask aptitude to fix the rest and it finally 
could. i suppose this is a wishlist item for aptitude but i'm including it 
in this bug report in case another poor user finds it in a search.


Second, package installation failed. xbase-utils kept wanting to overwrite 
man pages belonging to other programs which were presumably packaged 
separately in previous releases (like "oclock"), and so xbase-utils failed 
to install (configure?). This preventing everything else from installing. 
The irony is that these other packages, like oclock, were due to be removed 
anyways, but for some reason aptitude wanted to install xbase-utils before 
it removed anything. I spent 10 or 20 minutes running aptitude, trying to 
install, manually removing the next blocking package.


It would be nice if dpkg would report all of such blocking packages at once, 
which would have let me uninstall all of them at once.


Also, the current version of xbase-utils should be marked as conflicting 
with older versions of oclock, etc.


After removing a bunch of these one by one, I got tired of it and ran dpkg 
--force-overwrite -i xbase-utils. This completed the installation (but 
made me feel dirty).


However, X wouldn't run, giving me "Fatal server error: could not open 
default font 'fixed'". After half an hour on the internet, I found that the 
problem was explained here:


http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=362940;msg=10

For some reason, none of the packages that I had upgraded had offered to 
replace my xorg.conf with a clean version, making it hard for me to discover 
this problem.


I edited xorg.conf and updated the font paths and then it worked. Somewhere 
along the way I had also manually upgraded xfonts-base, btw, I don't know if 
that was necessary.


I suggest, as was suggested in that message, that some config script offers 
to modify xorg.conf (without replacing it) and provide the appropriate new 
FontPath entries.


Sorry if this bug report is a dupe, I searched BTS search for "xbase-utils 
upgrade overwrite" and found 0 hits.


thanks,
 bayle

For prosterity's edification, record that the glibc russian change to
koi8 was made for bug #62586 at glibc 2.2.5-4, and therefore only
applies to Debian's glibc.

Author: Drew Parsons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date:   Sat Nov 18 12:11:02 2006 +

015_russian_locale_alias.diff only changes russian to ru_RU.KOI8-R,
aligning with the glibc definition in /usr/share/locale/locale.alias.
Because of the constraint implosed by glibc in
/usr/share/i18n/locales/ru_RU, we cannot likewise change ru and ru_RU
away from ISO8859-5.

Author: Drew Parsons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date:   Sat Nov 18 09:21:43 2006 +

Some patches got lost in the upgrade from 1.0.0 (2:1.0.0-9) to 1.0.3:
  - 015_russian_locale_alias.diff. For consistency, expand this
patch to map the generic ru and ru_RU locales, as well as
russian, to ru_RU.KOI8-R instead of ISO8859-5.  But they really
should be using UTF-8 you know.  Closes: #368655.
  - 016_greek_polytonic_Compose.diff. Closes: #386471.
  - 017_FTBFS_makekeys.diff can be left out since it is applied in 
1.0.3.

Any one know what happened to patch 018?  The svn record for libx11
2:1.0.0-8 is highly broken.

Bug#257302: xfree86: general complaint about XFree86 on Dell LatitudeD400

Brice,

ît remains a pita.
I dunno exactly what was wrong then, it still doesn't do what I'd expect 
it to.
Sarge, at least, still requires the installation of the 855wrap; 
otherwise it will just get completely frozen with a greenish screen.
No need to file a report, since everyone knows. Call it a show-stopper 
for Aunt Tilly.
I do understand that the developers / maintainers refuse to add that 
ugly hack that is underlying that wrapper. But then, at least, they 
ought to add a 'detector' and inform the user / booter that something 
won't work and stop; instead of leaving the machine full stuck with that 
screen.


Whenever I boot, whichever distro, the mouse will be detected properly, 
at /dev/input/mice (for the built-in touchpad as well as USB).
Only on Debian I still get it at /dev/mouse (or similar), and it will 
fail to 'startx'. Even a server edition like OpenBSD did that correctly 
years ago on the same machine.


Up to you to close it, I guess, but it remains crap.

Thanks for asking; and keep the good work up, :)

Bug#216161: xserver-xfree86: font resolution not following the rules

Well, I can confirm the same behavior as I reported on a current
unstable system.  However, in the process of testing I noticed something
I probably missed before.  When I remove the gsfonts-x11 aliases, the
font chosen when I run

xfd -fn '-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-86-iso8859-1'

is

-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-87-iso8859-1

Note the 86 becomes 87.  (This is the "average width field, measured in
tenths of pixels" according to X(7).)  This caused me to suspect that
the bitmap font was being skipped according to the rule in
/usr/share/X11/doc/fonts.txt:

When matching fonts, the server makes two passes over the font path:
during the first pass, it searches for an exact match; during the
second, it searches for fonts suitable for scaling.

But here's the wicked thing:  If you look at
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/fonts.dir, you find

timB12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz 
-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-1

Note the width is 88!  So where did the 87 come from?  That I have no
idea.  Anyhow, if I restore the gsfonts-x11 aliases and ask for

-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-1

then I get the expected bitmap font.

I have no idea anymore where the example font string came from; probably
I changed it in some config file long ago.  At this point, the issue
doesn't matter to me, and based on the above investigation, the behavior
in fact looks pretty sane.  The only reason to keep this bug open, IMO,
would be to understand the 86/87 quirk.  But you can close it for all I
care.

Sorry for the long mail, and thanks again for following up.

Andrew

Did you have a chance to try Etch instead of Sarge? There have been lots
of changes regarding the support of this hardware between XFree86/Sarge
and Xorg/Etch. It would be great if you could try.

What is 855wrap ? Is it the 855resolution package?

> Up to you to close it, I guess, but it remains crap.

I'll be waiting until you try Xorg/Etch.

No. It is a wrapper for the bug DELL introduced into the BIOS later. The 
later BIOSes do not require the other 855* any longer.

I'll try them as soon as Etch is out. As Stable. ;)

Hi Jason,

Did you manage to get X back to work since you reported this bug 4 month
ago? You could eventually try Xorg 7.1 currently in testing. But it is
strange that this machine breaks with sarge r3 while it worked with r2.


No. I never heard anything, so I gave up. I'm waiting for Etch.
