[Bug 261711] [NEW] portmap does not honor preseeded debconf value
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: portmap Version: 6.0-4 (Ubuntu 8.04.1) I am making use of debconf preseeding, via debconf-get-selections(1) + debconf-set-selections(1). Among the selections specified this way is portmap's "bind to loopback address" setting, which I want to set to YES with portmap portmap/loopback boolean true However, when the package is installed, it stays with the default value of NO, ignoring the preseeded debconf value. It thus becomes necessary to (re)configure the package manually in order to make the loopback setting effective. The configuration control script for the portmap package should pick up a preseeded value when the package is being installed; that does not appear to be happening currently. ** Affects: portmap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- portmap does not honor preseeded debconf value https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 306054] [NEW] Not using LDAP for auth, please downgrade libpam-ldap to Recommends:
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ldap-auth-client Looking at ldap-auth-client 0.5.2 in Intrepid. I am using LDAP in conjunction with Kerberos authentication and AFS. (This is much like what MIT does on their campus network, except that they use Hesiod instead of LDAP.) In this setup, the ldap-auth-config package is desirable, to store the various LDAP-related settings and keep /etc/ldap.conf up to date. The libpam-ldap package, however, is not. The pam-auth-update mechanism assumes that I want to use LDAP for authentication, when in fact I only want to use it for user/group lookup via NSS, leaving the task of authentication to Kerberos. I would like to be able to install ldap-auth-config without libpam-ldap, to simplify system administration. (This makes more sense when you consider that the former really ought be named e.g. "ldap-config", a name that doesn't presume that LDAP will be used for authentication.) ** Affects: ldap-auth-client (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Not using LDAP for auth, please downgrade libpam-ldap to Recommends: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 294840] Re: F6 menu behaviour is confusing
Well, "standard widgets" in the sense of following a common GUI idiom; the implementation's a whole 'nuther matter! Even now, there's the little X's that appear next to selected options in the F6*2 menu, so it would be an elaboration of that. (A unified menu, on the other hand, does seem a tad overambitious.) But having the F6*2 menu come up with a single F6 keypress is a good move, IMHO. The menu is certainly going to be more useful than the kernel command line to most users. (I'd furthermore posit that the command line hurts more than it helps in the majority of cases. The way that it doesn't change when you select different menu options, and yet /proc/cmdline does reflect the selected menu options, is very confusing. [E.g. selecting a command-line install doesn't visibly change the file= parameter to .../cli.seed.] Even if I needed to put in some obscure kernel parameter, I couldn't be exactly sure of how the command line will be interpreted if the kernel gets passed something different from what I see in the boot screen.) -- F6 menu behaviour is confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294840 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 305281] [NEW] log_to_console() function breaks when /proc is missing
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lsb-base This report concerns the /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh file, in lsb-base 3.2-14ubuntu2 in Intrepid. The log_to_console() function in this file breaks when there is no /proc filesystem, and "set -e" is in effect. (Note how it does "readlink /proc/self/fd/0", without bothering to check that /proc/self exists.) Why would /proc be missing, you ask? In my case, I am debconf- configuring the console-setup package inside a freshly-unpacked chroot Ubuntu system: "chroot /target /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure console- setup". The debconf script invokes the init.d script, and the init.d script uses "set -e", with the end result that the dpkg-reconfigure procedure exits with an error. (One could argue the point that "you should mount a copy of procfs under /target/proc before running dpkg-reconfigure," but the shell function's use of /proc is not particularly critical. I think it is reasonable for the function to be able to work without /proc, and presume that stdin != /dev/null in that case.) I am attaching a trivial patch that fixes this issue. ** Affects: lsb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- log_to_console() function breaks when /proc is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 297929] [NEW] Allow forwarding to multiple "root" recipients
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ssmtp I use sSMTP in a corporate environment, thanks to the feature of rewriting/forwarding mail that would go to system users to an external address instead. This is much simpler than configuring all the various daemons, etc. with the appropriate mail address. Recently, I've wanted the ability to say e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] That is, to have system mail be forwarded to more than one external address. My use case is, for systems (usually desktops) that are administered by their users, I want system messages to go to them, but I also want those messages to go to a central mailbox where they can be monitored. For example, if a user leaves the company, this will ensure that system messages don't just vanish into a defunct inbox. I've put together a patch against ssmtp 2.62. It's very simple, basically doing an extra round of strtok() after the rcpt_remap() calls in ssmtp(). For good measure, I also fixed a couple of uninitialized- variable warnings. The patch is attached below. The ssmtp.conf(5) man page description for the "Root" keyword might have the following two sentences tacked on: Multiple users may be specifed, separated by commas.

[Bug 382615] [NEW] Hangs at "Starting kernel log daemon..." with LDAP
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sysklogd
This is similar to bug #218320, but occurs in a different context. The
failure mode here is a bit complicated, so bear with me as I describe
it.
Ubuntu Jaunty system. sysklogd and klogd packages at version
1.5-5ubuntu3. passwd and group lookups handled by LDAP.
In certain circumstances (which I will explain later), the system hangs
at "Starting kernel log daemon..." on bootup. Logins are not even
possible at this point---you enter "root", the password, and it just
hangs there. Networking is not up.
I modified one of the /etc/event.d/tty* scripts to start up a root shell
directly on the console. Examination of the process table at the point
of the hang showed that the start-stop-daemon(8) command that actually
invokes /sbin/klogd, from /etc/rc2.d/S11klogd (a.k.a. /etc/init.d/klogd)
had become stuck.
I modified the init.d script to run the problematic start-stop-daemon(8)
invocation through strace(1). Rebooted, another hang. The last part of
the generated strace log:

The system cannot connect to the LDAP server because the network is not
up. But networking should be up already at this point, yes? Well, I also

Looks like it's trying to talk to /dev/log, just as start-stop-daemon(8)
was doing. Now, /dev/log is a socket handled by syslogd(8). So it seems
syslogd(8) might be slacking off, causing the holdups in these two
programs. If we attach to syslogd(8) with strace(1), what do we see?

Uh oh. Is syslogd(8) itself similarly stuck, trying to talk to... er...
itself?
I didn't really dig further, but you get the idea of some sort of
reentrancy-deadlock with LDAP lookups that horks up syslogd(8), and in
turn, everything else. There are two interesting points of note to add:
1. If you send SIGTERM to syslogd(8), killing it, the logjam clears up
completely. Networking comes up, the boot process finishes, and you can
log in. No syslog, but hey, working system.
2. The reason why this normally doesn't happen is because of nssldap-
update-ignoreusers(8). This command is automatically invoked as part of
the shutdown process; it appends a line to /etc/ldap.conf specifying
users (or groups?) to be ignored by LDAP, presumably avoiding the
superfluous lookups that produce the type of errors seen in the above
excerpts. My system encountered this because it was "ghosted" from
another system that had not undergone a reboot after installing LDAP, so
the particular line was missing from /etc/ldap.conf, and so the
problematic lookups were occurring. (If I reboot the system normally
after SIGTERM'ing syslogd(8) as above, the problem goes away.)
I think it's not enough to say that just running nssldap-update-
ignoreusers(8) fixes the problem and thus there is no bug; this is
clearly a race condition that syslogd(8) right now does not handle
gracefully, and ought to do so. It's entirely possible that other
manifestations of the hanging behavior, like bug #218320, have the same
underlying cause. I believe the ignoreusers bit should ultimately be
there just to avoid spurious LDAP errors, not because its absence breaks
syslog and system bootup.

[Bug 369964] [NEW] "krb5" pam-auth-update profile priority is greater than "unix" profile
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libpam-krb5 Looking at libpam-krb5 version 3.13-2ubuntu1 in Jaunty. The "unix" profile has a priority of 256; "krb5" has a priority of 704. When pam-auth-update collates the profiles into a PAM configuration, the Kerberos lines thus precede the Unix lines in the /etc/pam.d/common-* files. Whether a user exists in the Kerberos database or the Unix database (usually /etc/passwd), the try_first_pass module options allow either possibility to result in a successful login. If a user exists in *both* databases, then this works as well. However, if a user exists in both databases, and the Kerberos infrastructure is not available (no network, server down, etc.), then PAM will have to wait for the attempt at Kerberos authentication to time out before trying the Unix one---which, in most cases, does not require network access. (Note that a user may exist in both databases in some scenarios where a system that normally uses Kerberos auth is isolated from the network, and an administrator creates a matching local user [same name and UID] to allow a person to get some use out of said disconnected system.) I think that the priority of the Kerberos authentication profile should be lowered to below that of the Unix one, on the principle that local authentication should be tried before network auth, due to the disproportionately worse failure mode(s) of the latter. ** Affects: libpam-krb5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "krb5" pam-auth-update profile priority is greater than "unix" profile https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369964 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 369575] [NEW] Why is /usr/share/pam-configs/krb5 specifying minimum_uid= ?
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libpam-krb5 I'm looking at libpam-krb5 version 3.13-2ubuntu1, in Jaunty. The pam-auth-update profile file /usr/share/pam-configs/krb5 has invocations of pam_krb5.so with the hardcoded option minimum_uid=1000. Presumably, this is to exclude system users (uid < 1000) from Kerberos authentication. The problem is that some installations may have the convention of a higher minimum UID for Kerberos users, and their options are limited to either modifying the number in the profile file (a no-no given that the file lives in /usr and not /etc), or bypassing the krb5 profile altogether (either with a custom profile, or direct edits to /etc/pam.d/*). To make all this concrete: I have a setup where Kerberos users have UIDs >= 2. I specify this right in /etc/krb5.conf, under the [appdefaults] section (see the pam_krb5 man page for details on how to do this). Users with 1000 >= UID > 2 are assumed to be local [but otherwise normal] users, existing only on the local system. The problem is that (1) my minimum_uid option in krb5.conf is being overridden by the hardcoded options in .../pam-configs/krb5, and (2) when I create a local user with adduser(8), and try to set/change its password, I get prompted for "Current Kerberos password:" even though no such entity exists in my Kerberos database! (FYI: In Intrepid, I was using a custom pam-auth-update profile similar to the new krb5 one, but without the minimum_uid= options. I had considered it preferable to specify this once in krb5.conf than multiple times in this file.) I think that the minimum_uid= options should be removed from the krb5 profile, and the equivalent option added to krb5.conf, where the specific UID number can be modified administratively. The current approach is not flexible for installations making broad use of Kerberos. ** Affects: libpam-krb5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Why is /usr/share/pam-configs/krb5 specifying minimum_uid= ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 369575] Re: Why is /usr/share/pam-configs/krb5 specifying minimum_uid= ?
minimum_uid in krb5.conf, and ignore_root in .../pam-configs/krb5 sounds like a good way to go. For sites that distribute a global krb5.conf, they can always add the minimum_uid option if they like---if it's not already there, the distribution is likely passing that in as a PAM module option anyway (whether via pam-auth-update or otherwise). For now, I guess I'll have to go with the custom krb5-mysite profile option. (Editing /etc/pam.d/common-* is possible, and indeed honored by pam-auth-update, but then you lose the whole benefit of being able to generate the config with a checklist. From an administrative standpoint, that's a *major* price to pay.) -- Why is /usr/share/pam-configs/krb5 specifying minimum_uid= ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 366293] [NEW] Non-existent i18n files lead to needless server failover
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt-cacher I have an apt-cacher setup in which the main path_map element lists two servers, in the following order: ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu I.e. a random mirror server, and the official Ubuntu US archive server. Yesterday (April 23), I invoked "apt-get update" on a system pointed at this apt-cacher server, and inexplicably, it hung while downloading the first Translation-en_US.bz2 file. Run the update again, another hang at that same point. Half an hour of investigation later, I found the problem. There are two things going on here: 1. There is no Translation-en_US file. It is not present (e.g. for the Jaunty main repository) in either of http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/ http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/ apt-cacher fails to find the file at the first location, so it tries the second one, and when that turns up nothing it gives up (and so does apt- get, continuing on to the next file). 2. The US archive server is, of course, being completely hammered by the release of Jaunty on the 23rd. It is taking an unusually long time to respond to even minor HTTP requests. Indeed, if I run "apt-get update" with LANG=C, then no i18n files are downloaded, and the whole update procedure breezes through like it usually does. So it seems to me that this is a corner case that apt-cacher ought to handle more gracefully. There was no need for apt-get to hang while updating; no need for apt-cacher to fail over to another server for a file that need not exist (as opposed to, say, a package file, whose non- existence would necessarily be an error). Addressing this behavior would not only make updating on release day feasible, it would also make updating on other days faster, and reduce 404s on the archive server, as the needless failover could be avoided altogether. ** Affects: apt-cacher (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Non-existent i18n files lead to needless server failover https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 284181] [NEW] "m-a -t" uses tput(1) and terminal escape sequences incorrectly
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: module-assistant This is module-assistant 0.10.11ubuntu1 in hardy. module-assistant, in --text-mode, typically uses terminal escape sequences to highlight certain lines in its output (e.g. the "dpkg -Ei ..." invocation). However, it does two things incorrectly: 1. It uses these escape sequences even if the output is being redirected to a file. That is, it is not checking that the output is actually going to a tty. Compare that to the behavior of, say, "ls --color=auto". 2. If it is invoked from (for example) a cron job, where the TERM variable is unset, you see this in the output: tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified .Getting source for kernel version: 2.6.24-21-generic Kernel headers available in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic Creating symlink... apt-get install build-essential So module-assistant is being rather careless about how it uses tput(1) and terminal escape sequences. In both of the above cases, it ought to know better than to blindly assume it is connected to a tty.

(The only exception is xkb-data, which is needed by console-setup.) Indeed, all the above can be purged after the fact without any fuss.

[Bug 293944] [NEW] Need better support for adding site-local certificates
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ca-certificates A wishlist item for ca-certificates 20080514-0ubuntu1 in intrepid: I'm putting together a system image for a small corporate site. I am placing files under /usr/local/, and occasionally symlinking these into /etc, /usr, etc. as necessary (as opposed to assembling custom packages in a custom repository; this would be overkill for the site in question). This way, there is a clear distinction between files under the control of the package manager, and local files that aren't. I want to add a couple of site-specific certificates to the set used by ca-certificates. My first approach was to symlink the subdirectory: /usr/share/ca-certificates/smallcorp -> /usr/local/share/ca- certificates/smallcorp/ This didn't work; "dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates" would not show the new certs in the multiselect list. So I tried creating the subdirectory in /usr, and symlinking the individual .crt files: /usr/share/ca-certificates/smallcorp/ /usr/share/ca-certificates/smallcorp/SmallCorp_Root_CA.crt -> /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/smallcorp/SmallCorp_Root_CA.crt Again, no go. The only way that debconf would see the new certs was to copy them in as regular files, into a regular subdirectory under /usr. I would like to see a tweak in how this package finds certificates, to allow adding new ones without polluting /usr with non-dpkg-managed files. A couple of approaches come to mind: 1. Scan /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ in addition to /usr/share/ca- certificates/. 2. Follow symlinks in /usr/share/ca-certificates/. I prefer #1, as it is cleaner, and doesn't raise tricky questions of dangling/cyclic symlinks. ** Affects: ca-certificates (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Need better support for adding site-local certificates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The F4 menu is a choice of one out of four options, whereas F6*2 is a

use of standard radio-button and check-box widgets to indicate the

nature of either menu is not clear.)

[Bug 270512] Re: openssh-client could suggest xauth rather than recommend it
Bug 51774 is about silent-failure behavior when forwarding X11 without xauth(1) on the remote side, which is a separate issue. Colin, you yourself said that a package dependency doesn't address that, and I agree. I also agree with Thierry's premise that those X11-related packages should not be pulled in by openssh-client, and would go further to say that they have no place in an out-of-the-box CLI install. (I filed bug 293313 before fully understanding what was going on.) I'd like to see xauth downgraded to Suggests: in both the client and the server. It's silly for either of them to pull in x11-common et al. unless explicitly told otherwise via --no-install-recommends, and in any event we're talking about a behavior that didn't even exist before the change to apt earlier this year. More people are still accustomed to installing xauth/xorg explicitly if they need it, than to relying on the Recommends: to do it for them; we're not going to see hordes of hapless users running around because they can't forward X11 connections anymore. When apt was changed to install Recommends: by default, Michael Vogt said, "We should also clean up recommends were appropriate and downgrade them to suggests and sent the patches [to] debian." I think this is a case where that is needed. If the downgrade on -client and -server is too much, then at least do it for -client. Systems with xorg will already have xauth, so the only case left is systems without X11 serving as an intermediate SSH hop between systems that do (and does *that* rare case warrant polluting minimal CLI installs with X11 libs?). -- openssh-client could suggest xauth rather than recommend it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 309163] [NEW] Open File dialog fails with inexplicable "Please select a file to open" error
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nedit This concerns nedit 1:5.5-2ubuntu3 in Intrepid. I open Nedit, hit Ctrl+O to open a new file, click on a filename in the horrid Motif "Open File" dialog, and press OK. Instead of opening the new file, an error window pops up over the dialog: "Please select a file to open". I try again, and again, and even as the filename is clearly highlighted and selected, the error recurs. Thus I am prevented from opening a new file in the editor. While I'm clicking around in the file dialog, I also see these messages being dumped to the console: Name: Text Class: XmTextField Character '\122' not supported in font. Discarded.

[Bug 309784] [NEW] Blank screen, unresponsive console when starting full-screen OpenGL apps
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel This concerns xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu10 in Intrepid. I have a bog-standard Dell Optiplex 755 corporate PC with Intel onboard video. When I start a full-screen OpenGL application, such as Openarena or Kobo Deluxe (in GL driver mode), sometimes the screen goes black and the console becomes unresponsive (Ctrl+Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Alt+Sysrq+B, Caps/Num/Scroll Lock). The system still accepts SSH logins, however, and otherwise continues to run. I've observed a couple of different failure modes so far: Kobo Deluxe: Screen goes black, console unresponsive. Application can be killed with SIGHUP. X server then maxes out the CPU, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log begins to grow very quickly, about four megabytes per second. (Note that this is with the program configured to use its OpenGL driver, and run full-screen.) Openarena: Screen goes black, white "text-area" cursor appears in center of screen after a couple seconds, pointer and console remain unresponsive. X server is pegging the CPU; log file is ballooning in size. In either case, the runaway X server can be killed with SIGQUIT. It restarts, and I get an "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" dialog. A few more clicks gets GDM back up, and I can log in again as usual, but the video hardware is in a strange state thereafter: If I switch to a virtual terminal, the screen turns black with white "snow" all over, and thicker "snow" wherever text should be. (You can sort-of see the login prompt at the top left, and when you log in, you see the snow-ified MOTD, etc.). Switching back to VT7 does not return to X; in fact, the X server is nowhere to be found. No error message in Xorg.0.log, etc.--- the only clue is a bizarre message from GDM in daemon.log: "WARNING: Display :0 is busy. There is another X server running already." I will attach some Xorg.0.log* files, the error dialog, and the output of "lspci -vvnn". Note: I have experience with GDB and other such tools, but not with X.org's internals. I would be happy to provide telemetry on this if I am told where to look. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Blank screen, unresponsive console when starting full-screen OpenGL apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A few more details that may be of interest: * All the above results were obtained without a desktop environment, or even a window manager. Programs were invoked from a lone XTerm, launched from a bare-bones ~/.xsession script. * The OpenGL programs start without a problem in the first X11 session after booting. After you log out, log back in, and start the same program again, however, *then* you run into the above-described behavior. (Something about the hardware not being re-initialized correctly...?) * Tested with Armagetron Advanced; fails the same as Kobo Deluxe. (Probably a better program to test with, as no prior configuration is needed) * In the Openarena failure mode, the application program exits shortly after starting.

Console unresponsiveness is still observed, although I'm not seeing the X server peg the CPU as before. I didn't investigate the failure modes as thoroughly this time, but I did find one helpful little tidbit: glxgears, running in a window, triggers the problem. As before, it runs fine in the first X11 session, but in a second session, the window comes up black and the console goes bye-bye (for about a minute, until the screen blanks and the Ubuntu error dialog appears). The Xorg.0.log file produced from this is interesting, and is attached above. ** Attachment added: "X server log file, running glxgears in a window" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20622875/Xorg.0.log.glxgears.txt -- Blank screen, unresponsive console when starting full-screen OpenGL apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 309163] Re: Open File dialog fails with inexplicable "Please select a file to open" error
Paul, I can't reproduce the problem with this new build, but... it's linked against Lesstif, instead of the OpenMotif library. That changes things completely---and the upstream doesn't seem too fond of the idea, as the program prints nedit: WARNING: This version of NEdit is built incorrectly, and will be unstable. nedit: Please get a stable version of NEdit from http://www.nedit.org. on the terminal every time it starts up. As I recall, the NEdit folks don't like to use Lesstif because the program makes heavy use of the Motif API, and Lesstif's subtle differences with "official" Motif are a source of headaches that they'd rather not deal with. I'd like to think that Lesstif has evolved to the point where even these kinds of uber-Motif apps can use it without a problem, but that's a determination that can only be made with a lot of careful review and validation. I'm hoping that this change isn't being made willy-nilly---as much as I'd love for NEdit to use all free- software libraries, there are long-standing technical reasons why this is not (yet) the case. -- Open File dialog fails with inexplicable "Please select a file to open" error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 325827] Re: raid array wont work after Hostname change
This is not a bug. Please review the --homehost= option in the mdadm(8) man page. In a nutshell: Your RAID devices store the hostname in the superblock, so that when "mdadm --assemble" is called, it only assembles RAID devices that belong to the running host. (The rationale is that if you, for some reason, have hooked up a RAID device from some other host, and mdadm auto-assembles that, Bad Things(tm) may happen. It's a safety feature for that very rare circumstance.) Either update the homehost setting in the superblocks, or change the HOMEHOST parameter in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf . (If it's set to "", which it probably is, mdadm will substitute the system's current hostname.) -- raid array wont work after Hostname change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 330399] [NEW] "HOMEHOST " does not work inside initrd
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mdadm This concerns mdadm 2.6.7-3ubuntu8 in Intrepid. I have a system with "/" on a RAID1 device. /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf specifies "HOMEHOST ", and no information on the structure of the RAID1 device. (The intent, of course, is to have mdadm auto-assemble it.) The RAID1 device superblocks have the homehost properly set to the current system hostname. The system fails to boot in this configuration. Why? Because a homehost of "" means that the current system hostname (as returned by gethostname()) is used, and yet in the initrd environment, _no hostname is set_. You run "hostname" at the BusyBox prompt, and you get "(none)". The workaround is to hard-code the hostname as HOMEHOST in mdadm.conf (and re-generate the initrd image). The fix would be to have initrd pull in /etc/hostname and any other requisite bits so that the system hostname is available in the initrd environment, so that "HOMEHOST " works as intended. ** Affects: mdadm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "HOMEHOST " does not work inside initrd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 331251] [NEW] Enable and document support for AutoConfig/MCD
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 Mozilla Firefox provides a mechanism allowing centralized auto- configuration known as AutoConfig, or "Mission Control Desktop." Some references: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/MCD,_Mission_Control_Desktop_AKA_AutoConfig http://mit.edu/~firefox/www/maintainers/config.html This is a useful feature to have in large installations of Ubuntu. It has at least two advantages over modifying /etc/firefox-3.0/prefs/firefox.js: 1. Configuration code can be fetched from a remote server when the browser is started; 2. The Javascript code can do a bit more than what is allowed in a prefs file, e.g. access environment variables with getenv() and use them in pref values. The Ubuntu (Intrepid) firefox-3.0 package, however, does not appear amenable to the use of this mechanism. There is a firefox.cfg file in /usr/share/doc/firefox-3.0/, but nothing in this file indicates how it should be used. There is no .../greprefs/all.js file in the package, and as that is where the Mozilla and MIT docs indicate that one should add the "general.config.filename" pref, it's not clear where that should go. It's not even clear that the browser was built with the "pref" compile- time extension enabled in the first place. I would like to see some sort of explicit AutoConfig support in firefox-3.0, ideally a situation where a typical institution need only modify files under /etc/firefox-3.0/ to get that up and running. ** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Enable and document support for AutoConfig/MCD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 331812] [NEW] Group-owned static interfaces do not work
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
This concerns virtualbox-ose 2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Intrepid.
VBoxAddIF allows you to create an interface for use by a group (as
opposed to a single user) with the -g option. This creates an entry in
/etc/vbox/interfaces like the following:
vbox0 +vboxusers br0
However, when you attempt to start a VM using host-interface networking
through this device, you get
Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).
Result Code:NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}
If you create the interface for a single user, everything works.
Obviously, it would be helpful to be able to grant access to the
interface via group membership, because that group can then be
"vboxusers" and the problem of administrating multiple VirtualBox users
becomes a lot simpler (as that particular group already exists to manage
access to other system-level elements of VirtualBox).

[Bug 309163] Re: Open File dialog fails with inexplicable "Please select a file to open" error
Hi Paul, Attached is a screenshot more or less illustrating the error. NEdit was invoked from the terminal (the errors are too numerous to fit even in that tall window), and gives an error dialog attempting to open start.html. Note that the X/Motif errors begin as soon as you hit Ctrl+O, and then you only get the open-file error when preceded by those errors. Could you try starting NEdit several times, hitting Ctrl+O at each turn? The problem doesn't occur consistently, but it shouldn't be so infrequent.

Don't bother with pavucontrol(1), as it has no script- compatible interface.) -- The user cannot select sound card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 411795] Re: No sound from aplay(1) due to improper default device selection
My system has no /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc* file. Without any such configuration, I would expect aplay(1) to default to the first ALSA device (i.e. /proc/asound/card0, or the first entry in /proc/asound/modules, both correctly indicating the SBLive). -- No sound from aplay(1) due to improper default device selection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 400776] [NEW] ssh-keyscan(1) hangs if broken server does partial handshake
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openssh-client This concerns openssh-client 1:5.1p1-5ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Jaunty. I use ssh-keyscan(1) at a company site to create a global ssh_known_hosts file. I've found, however, that the program comes to a halt when it scans one particular system, an ancient, abused laptop apparently running Debian Sarge (according to the SSH server banner). When the program reaches that point, it simply sits there, past the timeout specified via -T, waiting on a select() call per strace(1). After about fifteen minutes, you see "Connection closed by $IP_ADDRESS", and the program summarily exits with status 255. If I connect to the system with "ssh -v r...@$ip_address", I get 8< OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/username/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to $IP_ADDRESS [$IP_ADDRESS] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Checking blacklist file /usr/share/ssh/blacklist.DSA-1024 debug1: Checking blacklist file /etc/ssh/blacklist.DSA-1024 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4 pat OpenSSH_3.* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP [sits here idle for about fifteen minutes] Connection closed by $IP_ADDRESS >8 ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ssh-keyscan(1) hangs if broken server does partial handshake https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 386048] Re: apt-cacher causes apt-get update to fail signature verification
Good timing, I've been hacking on apt-cacher today. I'm afraid I can't reproduce this bug. It's possible that this was fixed in 1.6.8. Would you feel up to building a new apt-cacher package from source, and giving it a go?
