Do you reclone everytime? Why not just update your existing clone with
git-fetch (or git-pull, which will also update your working directory if it
is clean; but git-pull should only be run by cron if you didn't do any
development in this repo and you are just tracking what happens upstream).

But notice that it will give you very much the same output as the clone, but
there was currently something merged into the master branch on git.git to
prevent this [1]. (After looking on the patch it seems to work only for
the native git proctocoll, but see below)

One question, why do you use http for fetching/cloning? I'm not sure that on
alioth the native git protocol for annonymous is activated ([2] doesn't
mention it), but it is _way_ more efficient. Especially if someone repacks
the repository you have to download the _whole_ repo again, although you
already have every object.  At least git+ssh works, so you could use git
over ssh to transfer the objects efficently if you have an account on
alioth.

Bug#413463: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Crash on start with radeon driver

2007-03-05 Thread Sven Arvidsson
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-5
Severity: normal

X crashes on start with the radeon driver:

Fortunately, the vesa driver still works. I tried falling back to
xserver-xorg-core 1.2.0-5 and xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.3-4 but with
the same results.

I'm attaching the old log file where X crash, as the one picked up by
reportbug is with vesa.

After double checking and asking on irc I can confirm that alioth has
anonymous git protocol enabled. I even updated the wiki page
http://wiki.debian.org/AliothGit because it didn't mention the git
protocoll.

Falling back further, to xserver-xorg-video-ati version 6.6.3-2, I can't
reproduce this and everything seem to work fine.

Bug#413492: xserver-xorg-video-all: amd64 can have xserver-xorg-video-vmware

2007-03-05 Thread Kenshi Muto
Package: xserver-xorg-video-all
Severity: normal
Version: 7.1.0-13

Hi,
I noticed GDM failed to boot when I installed Debian Etch on
VMware 64 bit environment.
Because xserver-xorg-video-all hasn't the dependency against
xserver-xorg-video-vmware, xorg wrote "apm" as driver instead
of "vmware".
GDM was running after I installed xserver-xorg-video-vmware and
replaced driver name of xorg.conf with "vmware".
So I believe xserver-xorg-video-vmware can become a member of
xserver-xorg-video-all on amd64 as same as i386.

It's very helpful for users to implement this on Etch if it's
acceptable for RMs at this time.

Thanks,

Bug#413249: severity of 413249 is important, tagging 413249

Steve Langasek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

> # Automatically generated email from bts, devscripts version 2.9.27

It is very well reproducible here, it occurred again today.  This time,
even Ctrl-c wouldn't stop the script, it ate >95% CPU, and "ps axf"
showed that it had somehow detached from the controlling X terminal.  It
needed a "kill $pid" to get control of my CPU.

I have added a "set -x" in config and preinst, and this showed me one
point were there is a bug in the config script.  I am not sure, however,
that this is the root of my problem.  

The bug I found so far is

while :; do
  run db_input low x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value
  # is the question going to be asked?
  if [ $? -eq 30 ]; then
break # no; bail out of validation loop
  fi

Because db_input is wrapped in the "run" function, the return value of
db_input is no longer in $?, and the script will not break the loop.  It
is in $_retval, though:

run () {
[...]
  "$@" || _retval=$?

  if [ ${_retval:-0} -ne 0 ]; then
observe "command \"$*\" exited with status $_retval"
  fi

The patch for this would be

 while :; do
   run db_input low x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value
   # is the question going to be asked?
+  WILL_BE_ASKED=$_retval
-  if [ $? -eq 30 ]; then
+  if [ $WILL_BE_ASKED -eq 30 ]; then
break # no; bail out of validation loop
  fi

However, changing this doesn't fix my problem, and I got sceptical
whether it originates in x11-common, since I get so many internal
debconf errors.

I removed the content of /var/cache/debconf, dpkg-reconfigure'd debconf,
and tried again, but that didn't help.

Somehow still debconf's answers are not what the config script expects.
Upon reinstalling x11-common with "set -xv", I get 

# next question requires input validation; assume safe valid value already
# present (possibly the template default)
SAFE=
+ SAFE=
if db_get x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value; then
  SAFE="$RET"
fi
+ db_get x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value
+ _db_cmd 'GET x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value'
+ IFS=' '
+ printf '%s\n' 'GET x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value'
debconf (developer): <-- GET x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value
debconf (developer): --> 0 0
+ IFS='
'
+ read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET='value set'
+ case ${_db_internal_line%%[   ]*} in
+ return 0
+ SAFE='value set'

Why on earth is "$RET" now "value set", where it should be "0"?  Note
that "value set" was the last answer that debconf communicated about
that template, but not the last answer it communcated in that script
(which was about allowed_users.

What is happening here?  Please remember that this is an etch system
installed on the 10th of February, nothing were the system had time to
degrade into a mess of distribution mixture and local misconfiguration
(though I do not exclude the latter...)

This is why I reassign the other part of this to debconf.  I'm quite
sure that what is going on on my system is not a general breakage of
debconf, but for sure it is something that needs investigation

Now the debug output below adds to the confusion, but it might be easier
to debug.  I have done

# dpkg --purge --force-depends x11-common

and then installed again, with "set -xv" in the maintainer scripts.
Things to observe:

- db_set returns with exit code "1".  Is this okay?  I think it
  shouldn't, and it's a peculiarity of x11-common to not stop when this
  happens.  However, what does it indicate on the debconf side?

- after the skipped parts, the db_input part is not interesting, but
  shows that that goes without errors

- db_go gives an internal debconf error (I have just "apt-get
  --reinstall install"'ed the etch version, so the files should be okay) 

- db_get returns *nothing*, although it was set to "0" earlier.

Better use the git protocol instead of http, it will give you a lot less
output, and will be faster.

Could you check the access rights of /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm and
/var/lib/xkb/? An old bug got closed recently because it was actually
caused by bad permissions on /var/lib/xkb/

Could you rebuild the server (xserver-xorg-core) and ATI driver with
debugging information and capture a backtrace with gdb? FYI, there are
details on all this at http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
(replace "hello" with the packages above).

Thank you

Hi,

Sure, I'm attaching the backtrace. 

BTW, that page doesn't have any tips on getting a backtrace from X.
Maybe one of the examples from this page could be adapted?
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/DebuggingTheXserver . I ended up using "Debugging
with one machine", version 1.

Also, thanks for following up on this bug so fast! :)

Reassign to xfonts-75dpi since this is the package that exposes the bug
for the submitter. But, I guess it also applies to other fonts packages.

Hi Alexis,

Did you have a chance to try attaching strace to X during suspend as I
told you on IRC? If somebody is removing this file, we should be able to
see in strace (assuming strace works during suspend...).

I am not sure we've had lots of people trying compiz on radeon on ppc :(
They are some problems with DRI alone on radeon/ppc, getting compiz on
top of that might be hard...

Could you try changing the device section of your xorg.conf like this:
* remove AGPMode, EnablePageFlip, AGPFastWrite (these options are often
considered dangerous...)
* switch AccelMethod from EXA to XAA
* add Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

I don't see any option in gdm to change the refresh rate. I guess Gnome
uses something like xrandr to change the rate during its startup, but
that is still after gdm is done. The only solution I see right now would
be to revert to your old sync ranges in xorg.conf and try to force 57Hz
by reducing the range width.

The other solution would be to request the addition of a refresh rate
option in GDM, that means reassigning this bug to gdm as a wishlist. But
I don't think it will be accepted soon...

Ok, in addition to the package xserver-xorg-video-i810 I recompiled
originally I now also recompiled xserver-xorg.  The binary packages
are available from http://www.jorrit.de/bug412720/ as before.  Marina,
could you please install the xserver-xorg-core from that location as
well?  And please remove the old core file before you create a new on,
I whether existing core files are overwritten or not...

Julien Cristau, do you think that the packages xserver-xorg-core and
xserver-xorg-video-i810 with debugging symbols are sufficient?

Thanks,

Here's what I do here:

Open your /etc/apt/sources.list
Duplicate the line you have for etch (only "deb ...", no need for
"deb-src" now), and change the copy from "etch" (or "testing") to
"experimental"
You might want to add a line for unstable too

Open (or create) /etc/apt/apt.conf and inserts something like:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
so that apt-get/aptitude takes in testing by default

apt-get or aptitude update

you can check which package versions are available where by doing
"apt-cache policy "

Then, tell apt-get/aptitude to take in experimental by doing one of the
following lines:
apt-get install xserver-xorg-core/experimental
aptitude install -t experimental xserver-xorg-core

As long as you don't add "/experimental" or "-t experimental",
apt-get/aptitude takes in testing first.

Hope this helps

Brice

Bug#413594: xorg: glitches in font configuration make some fonts unusable

2007-03-05 Thread Jiří Paleček

Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-12
Severity: normal

Hello,

sometimes (about two times in the last year) when I upgraded xorg, Xft  
applications
stopped working. I've found out this is due to fonts that are mentioned in  
fonts.dir
file, but their files are missing (or something), so the remedy usually  
was to regenerate

those files.

However, it didn't help the last time. The symptoms are described in bug

Ok, running with xserver-xorg-core 1.2.0-6 now. It also updated
libdrm2, but nothing else (in particular, not nv). However, the
behaviour I see is still the same: closing the lid makes the backlight
go off (after a couple of seconds), but opening it up doesn't turn it
back on again.

Since we're discussing it here, I think I'll mention the other problem
I'm having with the backlight in X: xset dpms force off (or standby or
suspend) blank the screen but don't turn the backlight off.

I'm wondering if this might be related, since maybe the backlight
going off is being done by something other than X, something that is
not turning it back on when the lid gets opened. If this is the case,
I should probably bring up this particular issue somewhere else, and
open a different issue about the lack of backlight control in X ...

I would guess that the error is in the code that _sets_ the value of this 
debconf question. I'm fairly certain that "value set" is what is returned 
in $RET by the db_set command (together with an error code of 0).

In general in debconf, $RET can contain error or informational messages 
from debconf itself as well as real values, roughly as follows:
- error code <> 0: $RET = error message
- error code = 0 and function should return a real value (e.g. db_get):
  $RET = real value
- error code =0 and function does not return a real value (e.g. db_set
  or db_go): $RET = informational message

This means that with incorrect error handling, or by executing a db_* 
function without saving the value of $RET in a different variable before
"reusing" $RET, you can end up with these kind of values.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
FJP

Bug#413620: xkb-data: Description falsely claims to conflict with & replace xlibs

2007-03-05 Thread Peter Moulder
Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.9-4
Severity: minor


(Related in some way to #410903.)

Excerpt of xkb-data Description field:

  This package comes from xkeyboard-config, and thus conflicts with
  and replaces the xlibs package which is part of the XFree86 server.

I read this as meaning that the xkb-data binary package has
Conflicts and Replaces fields that refer to xlibs, whereas in fact
xkb-data has neither a Conflicts nor a Replaces field.

The relationship between the xkb-data and xlibs packages isn't
immediately clear to me: e.g. it isn't obvious to me whether xlibs'
files are being consulted if xorg and xkb-data are installed, and hence
whether it makes any difference if xlibs is still installed or removed.
If the xlibs package is entirely ignored when xorg and xkb-data are
installed, then I suppose xlibs' Description should note this.

What are they?

Working fine here... the biggest problem known to me is performance,
working on fixing that, see my recent post to the dri-devel list.

The AGP options tend to work fine on PPC Macs, and when they don't work,
they usually just result in lockups. It's true that page flipping can
cause issues with compiz, but those can usually be worked around by
rotating the cube or running glxinfo.

These might indeed work around the AIGLX GLX_EXT_tfp performance issues
somewhat.
