Eventually an help from a dev! (sorry Kjell, but I don't think your
playing with launchpad helped in solving this soon) So I was correct
in observing strangeness with that "PCI-MSI-edge" and that suspicious
IRQ in my logs. Unless ubuntu 7.10 and 8.10 ship with "pci=nomsi" by
default, and I don't think so, there's a regression somewhere, maybe
not in the r8169 module code. Is there any way we, users, can help
with dealing of this regression?

IMHO, this is a regression since:

- Ubuntu 7.10 works (kernel 2.6.22);
- Gentoo 2008.1 works (kernel 2.6.24);
- Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 3 works (kernel 2.6.26).

Don't know the component which could be broken as I dunno who is
responsible of detecting MSI capable cards.

2009-05-13 Thread Francesco Pretto
I don't know what happened but today my audio card emitted first sounds
using 2.6.28-11.15 kernel. What I did in this days is:

- playing with mixer while using 2.6.27-9 (that has always worked, as I stated);
- updating the packages;
- launching the existing ubuntu installation within a virtualbox environment 
using createrawvmdk directive.

I launched alsa-info.sh script again and here is the result:

http://www.alsa-
project.org/db/?f=19debdecbb1e8e788b2d574abdeaa66ce14a7c52

I've attached the diff with the previous report. Many things are
changed: yeah, it seems after all it was mixer related. However, I'm
almost sure before commenting this bug report there were no channels
muted (I tried alsamixer -c 0 and alsamixer -Dhw:0 without seeing
anything strange). I have some suspect something really changed with
updates.

Dunno if the problem reported by the bug author is the same, however I
advice him to do a clean install (my one was an upgrade). For security,
I've marked the bug invalid/incomplete. I'm happy now. Bye

To be more precise: Audio PLAYBACK is completely broken: no way to
produce a sound in my system. Not that I have tested capture, tough.

Mixer settings seems all ok, but you can verify this on the alsa-info.sh
output.

IMPORTANT: this is almost for sure kernel related as the old kernel
2.6.27-9.5 from ubuntu 8.10 DOES work and can be considered the last
working kernel. I remember the regression started with kernel
2.6.27-11.* : I din't consider that much at the time, as the 2.6.27-11
kernel were just an optional upgrade. Anyway, it's even a ubuntu 8.10
regression for 2.6.27-11 kernel user, so some users may decide to
nominate this bug even for that release.

2008-07-22 Thread Francesco Pretto
Confirmed. I may have further information: first, the card works
perfectly with Ubuntu 7.10.

The card binds to strange IRQs in 8.04 (where it's completely
unfunctional). This is from /proc/interrupts in 8.04:


...
220:  0  0   PCI-MSI-edge  eth0
...


IRQ 220??? Isn't this STRANGE? Even logs from Kjell Braden shows the same bad 
IRQ. And something is strange even with that PCI-MSI-edge.

Now, let see /proc/interrups from 7.10. Here the card works perfectly:

...
 23:  0659   IO-APIC-fasteoi   eth0
...

This seems more SANE to me.

I'll attach /proc/interrupts output.

[Bug 225175] Re: S-ATA Hard drives swapped

2008-07-22 Thread Francesco Pretto
Confirmed. And I would say it's a serious bug for newbies, as simply the
booloader is default installed in the wrong hard disk, not the first in
the order that bios follows. What's strange (to me) is that:

- grub from bios (on start-up): sees the hard drives in the correct order;
- grub from live cd 8.04.01: sees the hard drives in the WRONG order.

I would say here that, not being in real-mode, grub from live cd is not
using bios calls to detect hard drives but relays on an higher level
linux syscalls/driver interface. Really dunno.

Distributions that work (detect sata drives in the correct order):
- Ubuntu 7.10;
- Gentoo 2008 (2.6.24 kernel).

Next I'll attach dmesg, /proc/interrupts, lspci output from ubuntu
8.04.01 and 7.10.

Sorry, maybe it wasn't clear: I reassigned this bug to udev because even
the name mangling of udev is swapped.

/dev/sda --> /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb --> /dev/sda

So certainly, this bug is not pertinent to grub only, but refer to the
way udev and grub detect their ordering (so may be system wide or
similar on the 2 progs). May be even a kernel bug, but please note that
Gentoo 2008 (comes with 2.6.24) works perfectly, like ubuntu 7.10.

Please instruct me on how to collect more information from udev and grub
to spot where they are assuming the wrong ordering and I'll report here.

Are you saying that something changed in udev and now it's expected to
see modified ordering in hds (and maybe for ATA controllers in
general)? I'm sorry, but just because as little as possible apps
should rely on the static name mangling of the devices, and for very
specific needs, this should be as close as possible to what bios
detects (or want to detect).

Let's do an example: grub from booted linux MAY (really dunno) relies
on udev to do its job. So, grub could ask to udev:

Grub: "Udev, please give me de device of the first hd on a
ATA/SATA/SCSI controller, so I may expose it as hd0 to the user and
install the bootloader here"
Udev: "Ok, It's /dev/sda"

If udev itself change this ordering, this will simply breaks
application expecting to find an ordering as close as possible to the
bios one.
IMHO, the behaviour should be reverted to the previous (working) one.

[Bug 225175] Re: S-ATA Hard drives swapped

2008-07-23 Thread Francesco Pretto
At least explain when and where this behaviour in ordering changed
within udev and why shouldn't be a bug. Or, are you telling me that at
the SAME TIME, udev changed its behavior in ordering and grub guys
introduced a new bug that inadvertentlybroke the ordering?

Tryed running grub (would be more correct to say the grub shell
frontend, that's the component run when you are running linux) with
--device-map option. This force grub to produce this device.map file:

(fd0)/dev/fd0
(hd0)/dev/sda  <-- This ISN'T the hd bios want to boot
(hd1)/dev/sdb

That is the wrong ordering, as said before.

I'm sorry, but it's simpler to me to think that the grub shell frontend
is just assuming the default LANANA device ordering to map devices,
looking for the hd that hopefully will be booted by bios.

So, for example, hd0 in grub is just the first /dev/hdX in alphabetical
order (excluding cd-roms) if you use the old linux ATA driver, or
/dev/sdX in alphabetical order (excluding cd-roms and usb mass storages)
if you are using LIBATA or SCSI.

In this case, you MAY think that changing the device ordering in udev is
not a bug, but you would be inadvertently breaking other applications.

Let's hope to hear a word from Grub devs soon. In the mean time, please,
stay tuned.

Kjell, you pointed out how to nominated bugs using the SRU procedure and 
ironically you were the one to nominate this one for Hardy :)
Let's hope for a fix...just to repeat it for the umpteenth time: this is 
*regression* . Gutsy worked flawlessly, as gentoo 2008.0, with a close kernel 
(slightly modified 2.6.24), works as well.

2008/7/24 Scott James Remnant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Maybe not in udev, but something has to be changed.

Ubuntu 7.10: *always* correct bios ordering;
Gentoo 2008.0 (kernel 2.6.24, udev 115): *always* correct bios ordering;

Ubuntu 8.04.01: *always* SWAPPED ordering;

Where *always* is "in all my attempts".

I'm not saying it's not a lecit change, but please identify when this
behavior changed.

Let's make this important distinction:
1) Grub as a mbr: let's call it grub-mbr;
2) Grub as a shell frontend: let's call it /sbin/grub.

grub-mbr obviously use bios, and after an install of ubuntu 8.04, the
detected ordering of grub at boot is always "correct" (the bios one).

/sbin/grub on livecd 8.04 gets different ordering, clearly not the
bios one. So, I'm assuming that /sbin/grub is NOT using bios for its
probes. It may use the current device files, but it's just my guess.
We should ask this to grub maintainers (if they are listening...).

You pointed:

1) To make this working, grub-mbr must itself use UUIDs, not only
/sbin/grub. In this way, even in grub.com/menu.lst you'll have root
directives with UUIDs, for example "root
(f0f68b8c-cf26-4c76-8a21-6a5c02c028dd)" instead of "root (hd0,0)". If
this is not already implemented, it will require major changes to
grub.
2) Not fully true. Switching to UUIDs won't solve the problem of
finding the drive bios will boot (read where to install grub-mbr). I
know, this problem is unsolvable in all the cases: people may want to
boot from a SCSI drive even if they have an ATA drive, and grub can't
say which is the preferred drive. However, we have to offer a
"sensible default": relying on bios ordering and choosing the first
hard disk is, IMHO, a good one in case of not so complicated
configurations. Distros worked this way from the beginning, and nobody
ever complained. If, for some reason, /sbin/grub is unable to detect
bios ordering, this is a major problem and will breaks many
configurations with >= 2 hard disks.

device.map is used only by /sbin/grub when you are using the switch
--device-map. Changes on this file won't reflect to grub-mbr unless
you re-install it from /sbin/grub using the command "setup (hdX)". So,
simply keeping it synced correctly won't solve the problem either.

Nice to hear: I had problems with ubuntu 8.04 me too. I should test it

Nope, the newer bios didn't fixed the ethernet in ubuntu 8.04.1

2008-12-18 Thread Francesco Pretto
Confirmed.

WARNING: The following workaround doesn't respect ATI and linux
developers copyright. Don't redistribute the produced module.
Unfortunately, it seems the problem is in the -rt sources where some
symbols are marked GPL only (aren't they in the vanilla sources?).

In these files (change according the installed version of fglrx):
/usr/src/fglrx-8.543/firegl_public.c 
/usr/src/fglrx-8.543/drm_compat.h 

Look respectively for these lines:
#define MODULE_LICENSE(x)
MODULE_LICENSE("Proprietary. blah blah etc");

and change them respectively to
#define MODULE_LICENSE("GPL")
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

Run from the shell:
# sudo /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller start

Reboot and you're done.

[Bug 67810] Re: bad hard disk noise on shutdown

2007-04-20 Thread Francesco Pretto
> Early reports indicate that this patch likely does NOT solve the
problem.

The fact is that this is not a bug/regression of the kernel. It's a lack of 
feature.
The early original patch here, 
http://www.nabble.com/(fwd)--PATCH--sd:-implement-stop_on_shutdown-t3049703.html
 , that was already merged, need mandatory changes in userspace, so changes to 
upstart shutdown(8) or workaround as described in some posts here. The 
definitive patches here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/30489
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/17392

are probably too much invasive to be merged in a stable, distro customized 
kernel, but don't need changes in userspace (beacuse they use a kernel-space 
workaround, already scheduled for removal). So, from a distro perspective, 
there are few options:
1) Keep original early patch and modify upstart shutdown(8) now (i was waiting 
for the definitive patches to be merged in 2.6.22-rc before submitting a bug to 
upstart...);
2) Merge the definitive patches;
3) || die

>From a user perspective, simply use the early patch (that should be
already merged in ubuntu 2.6.20 kernel, right?) plus the workarounds
described here by Martin Koßler and More.

Fixed in mainstream http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/30489 .
Lot of infrastructure here, probably 2.6.22 stuff? Please note that the

In the same message is described a meantime workaround, that consist of
a temporary setting (already scheduled for removal) in the libata
module. Here the extract:

[Bug 494141] Re: CUPS starts after SAMBA; printers are not available

2010-04-21 Thread Francesco Pretto
2 problems here:

- cups is still an old sysvinit script;
- samba is an upstart job but doesn't have any dependencies on cups.

Moreover I think it's the samba upstart job that should assert "start
after cups", and not cups to worry about starting before samba. So for
sure this actually a deficiency in the samba upstart job. Not clear to
me if it can be solved before cups becomes an upstart job too.

If you want a temporary workaround, put a:

sleep 10

just after "pre start script" in /etc/init/smbd.conf.

Actually, I needed to put the same waiting time in /etc/init/nmbd.conf
otherwise the master domain browser was nonfunctional, so it seems there
are some dependencies nmbd <-> smbd (don't know the correct verse)
unsatisfied.

2010-04-21 Thread Francesco Pretto
Just to be clear, what is exactly the cups bug (other than not being an
upstart job yet)? I don't know if upstart already have stanzas like
"start before/after" (because it's clear that samba is not really
dependent on cups, but if present cups should be started before samba),
but it seems more easy to me for samba to say something like "start
after cups" than cups keeping an updated list of services it should
start before.

Actually the real problem with the term "triaged" is that is hard to
find in online vocabularies, and the problem is more serious for non
english speaking people.

I think "diagnosed" would be more appropriate. It would mean:
- The bug is confirmed;
- It's clear where the bug is;
- It's clear how to fix it;
- It will be fixed, soon or later.

Wasn't my advice, but Antti's one. Anyway, it seems sun official jvm
isn't going to be supported long (it's have been removed from lucid
main repositories), so it's better to begin reporting bugs with
openjdk where hopefully integration with pulseaudio works better.

But the problem is that the PIDs of the vm are not part of the libvirt-bin 
upstart job. Try to look my *ugly* workaround[1] :
/etc/init.d/sendsings is just parallelizing killing any process not in upstart 
pool of tracked ones. So, when upstart shutdown libvirt-bin, almost for sure 
libvirt-bin won't find any active guests because they have been killed before 
by /etc/init.d/sendsing (killing those vm processes seems very quick). While 
this is good for libvirt-bin independence from kvm guests processes, this make 
fine grain control of guests shutdown harder, and one may wonder if it's not 
kvm itelsef that should send ACPI shutdown signal to guests, and not libvirt.

I have another suspect: upstart may failing here. Doesn't libvirt-bin
forks here to create kvm guests? Shouldn't "expect daemon" upstart
stanza track daemons that fork more than once? If so, shouldn't libvirt-
bin upstart job track these guests processes too? I have to ask in
upstart mailing list.

[Bug 538660] Re: "Advanced" tab in "Remote Desktop Preferences" disappeared

2010-03-15 Thread Francesco Pretto
Not clear: why decide to remove graphical support for options that are
actually necessary to secure vnc access? Actually, if I hadn't found a
guide to help me recover those options in gconf, I would have a unsecure
setup. And this would be a security issue. Still, the interface with an
"advanced" tab seems perfect to me from an usability/easy to use point
of view: it's "advanced", if you don't know just don't use. Considering
this issue and removing of XDMCP support from gdm preferences (and who
knows when and if it will come back), remote desktop in ubuntu is
getting worse and worse with any new release.

[Bug 538660] [NEW] "Advanced" tab in "Remote Desktop Preferences" disappeared

2010-03-14 Thread Francesco Pretto
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vino

The "Advanced" tab in "System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop"
preferences gui is disappeared since ubuntu 9.04. I never reported this
because it seemed just a gui glitch, to be resolved quickly, not related
at all with functionalities provided by vino. In fact, advanced features
are still working by enabling them in gconf with  gconf-editor , under
"/desktop/gnome/remote_access". Now I'd like to know what the maintainer
of the package think about the issue because I can't believe he hasn't
noticed this in 3 ubuntu releases, seeing that the bug is still present
in ubuntu 10.04 alpha3. Moreover, options in "Advanced" tab were
fundamental to force secure vnc access in ssh tunnles by providing the
option "Only allow local connections".

[Bug 350936] Re: Should shut down domains on system shutdown

2010-04-22 Thread Francesco Pretto
I'm not sure it can be done hacking upstart job. When libvirt was a
sysvinit script in ubuntu 9.10, I used this [1] script adding it in
"stop" function. In Lucid, if I add the same script to /etc/init
/libvirt-bin.conf with the stanza:

pre-stop exec shut-guests.sh 2>&1 > /var/log/shut-guests.log

This works if I manually invoke a stop of libvirt-bin in a running system with:
$ sudo stop libvirt-bin

but **doesn't** work when issuing a reboot or halt. It seems there's an
aggressive killing of all kvm processes **before** the pre-stop stanza
is execute, and libvirt doesn't find any running guests when the shut-
guests.sh is executed. it's not clear to me why and If this is an
exptected behavior. For sure, kvm processes are detached from libvirt
process branch.

Workaround:

Add the lines:

/usr/local/bin/shut-guests.sh 2>&1 >> /var/log/shut-guests.log
/sbin/initctl emit guests-shutted

just after "do_stop() {" in /etc/init.d/sendsings

*and* changing the line:

stop on (runlevel [!2345])

on file /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf to:

stop on guests-shutted

Ugly but works, until libvirt/kvm/distributions crews will care more
about data integrity in vm guests during shutdown (sigh).

Hmm... I advice to read the bug report from the begin: it's not a
matter of loading the kernel. Much simply, the module can't be
compiled within DKMS infrastructure using a -rt kernel because of GPL
symbols violation. Nothing get compiled -> nothing to load -> nothing
can fail :) .

I've posted an (illegal) workaround [1]. Wondering why there's no
legal problem compiling fglrx module using standard kernel/headers.

But. it's how DKMS infrastructure *works*! When you install a
standard nvidia or flgrx driver, the module must be built (very little
compiling, because everyone knows that nvidia/flgrx drivers are
bundled with a big binary blob) for each kernel you install, generic
ubuntu kernels too; to avoid this, DKMS was created [1] so it performs
the build phase for you without user intervention. I don't want to be
too much critic but this bug report is VERY clear: the matter is just
to understand why some symbols are GPL only in the -rt kernel
headers/source that aren't in the generic. Please, don't misunderstand
it a third time.

[Bug 1772365] Re: gnome-shell + chrome doing nothing consumes high CPU all the time

2018-08-31 Thread Francesco Pretto
I think what reported by Lorens may be totally unrelated to the use of
Chrome. The use of VirtualBox, latest version 5.2.18, with a Ubuntu
18.04 64bit guest with 3D acceleration **enabled** and maximum VRAM
configured (128MB) is completely unusable because of extremely high
memory usage of gnome-shell, independently of the application launched:
you can launch nothing or launch firefox, for example, and the session
will become unusable pretty soon. It may be worth some more
investigation of VirtualBox+3D acceleration use case. My host is
actually Windows 10 64bit.

[Bug 1576746] [NEW] Can't launch do-release-upgrade as root (No new release found)

2016-04-29 Thread Francesco Pretto
Public bug reported:

Trying to update to Ubuntu 15.04 to Ubuntu 15.10 update-manager GUI
silently fails or I constantly receive "No new release found" from
command-line acting as root user.

In /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades I correctly have "Prompt=normal"

Attempted programs used:

1) update-manger (GUI, non-root)
2) update-manager -d (CLI/GUI, non-root)
3) sudo update-manager -d (CLI)
3) sudo do-release-manager -d (CLI)

GUI launched as non-root prompts for a new release (update-
manager1.png), but as soon as prompted to log to root (update-
manager2.png) it fails silently. GUI launched as root *doesn't* prompt
for new release.

WORKAROUND:
Only working mean to upgrade is by command line with non-root 
"do-release-manager", which correctly reports the available release.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Debugging do-release-upgrade[1][2][3] led me to the following discovery: in 
MetaRelease.py[4] root succeeds in "opening" the non-existing file 
"/var/lib/update-manager/meta-release-development", leading to timeout 
exception while trying to download the remote file[6] checking for changes at 
line 330. Instead non-root fails trying to access meta-release-development and 
fallabacks to a file in the home directory[7]. Downloading at line 330 succeeds 
and the main script can continue.

meta-release-development[5] in my system wasn't present. This is
probably a LTS system switched to non-LTS at some point. Everything else
seems to be working.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- In a 15.04 system, delete system meta-release-development[5], if present;
- Try to upgrade as a root user (GUI or CLI).

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Better handle non existing meta-release-development[5] file as root in 
MetaRelease.py[4].

  2) update-manager -d (CLI/GUI, non-root)
  3) sudo update-manager -d (CLI)
  3) sudo do-release-manager -d (CLI)
  
  GUI launched as non-root prompts for a new release (update-
  manager1.png), but as soon as prompted to log to root (update-
  manager2.png) it fails silently. GUI launched as root *doesn't* prompt
  for new release.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  Only working mean to upgrade is by command line with non-root 
"do-release-manager", which correctly reports the available release.
  
  TROUBLESHOOTING:
- Debugging do-release-upgrade[1][2][3] led me to the following discovery: in 
MetaRelease.py[4] root succeeds in "opening" the non-existing file 
"/var/lib/update-manager/meta-release", leading to timeout exception while 
trying to download the remote file[6] checking for changes at line 330. Instead 
non-root fails trying to access meta-release and fallabacks to a file in the 
home directory[7]. Downloading at line 330 succeeds and the main script can 
continue.

[Bug 802538] Re: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules not automatically generated

2012-04-20 Thread Francesco Pretto
This is a case where satysfying a wish cause problems to others.
In my opinion the rule should be this:

at every boot there's a check on every 70-persistent-net.rules entry:

if (MAC(entry) is kvm/qemu/wmware type
&& the entry was referred to a card card in the PCI bus (read: not used 
often for hotpluggable devices)
&& MAC(entry) doens't exist anymore)
delete(entry);

Just disabling persistent net generator is, in my opinion, against the purpose 
of udev and it's causing troubles to users that liked the behavior of seeing 
the 70-persistent-net.rule to be autogenerated on delete.
But I think udev is powerful enough that we can find a solution that satisfy 
"everybody".

Don't think so. It's part of the independence of libvirt from the the
actual virtualization technology (KVM, ...) to permit updates without
shutdown of guests.

Because kvm guests processes aren't tracked by the upstart job and
they are killed immediately by /etc/init.d/sendsings. This approach
have pros (independence of libvirt from guests) and cons (this
problem) so there's no easy fix. In my previous post [1] there's an
ugly but safe workaround. If you want a definitive solution try to bug
libvirt devs by pointing this exact problem (/etc/init.d/sendsings
killing guests before libvirt-bin upstart job finishes).

I'm not sure Upstart isn't supposed to kill them. Let's suppose
upstart is able to track all pids forked for livbvirt-bin job start
(and it doesn't do so, even if the "expect daemon" stanza is used:
this may be an upstart bug): there would be a pid for libvirt-bin and
many pids for kvm guests. Suppose you want to kill the libvirt-bin
job: how can you tell upstart to kill just libvirt-bin and not kvm
guests? I don't think upstart jobs are so flexible.

2010-08-06 Thread Francesco Pretto
I have seen the commit that implements this functionality and it's, as
usual, a sysvinit script. Unfortunately, I think this is a use case
where upstart can't do anything yet and the only solution (without
moving back to a sysvinit script) is doing an ugly workaround in
/etc/init.d/sendsigs. I've tried to subscribe Scott James Remnant
(maintainer of upstart: thanks!): this is not a bug in upstart (maybe
a feature lack) but I hope he have something to share with us about
this problem.

While I am beginning to hate upstart because of its deficiencies
(#494141, #406397), I don't think adding a sysvinit script to fix an
upstart job is the best workaround. Just handle pid omits in sendsigs
as a special case for libvirt, as done for other problems.
