Bug#840691: ghostscript and evince/libspectre problem

2016-10-27 Thread Edgar Fuß
> If it works, I will apply the same patch to the wheezy package and upload it. I didn’t look at the jessie package but it is wheezy with debian-security where I figured out that changing that ,,put’’ to ,,.forceput’’ made evince display PostScript again.

Bug#840691: gs9-common breakage

2016-10-27 Thread Edgar Fuß
Please note that, through 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u3 in debian-security, this also breaks oldstable since the day before yesterday. I wonder why that update got pushed through although it was (for two weeks) known to have severe issues.

2016-10-27 Thread Edgar Fuß
The problem is line 2011 in /usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps: systemdict /getenv {pop //false} put change that to systemdict /getenv {pop //false} .forceput (gs-commits 99e331527d541a8f01ad5455c4eb2aabd67281a6) and it works.

Bug#757474: libc6: amd copying a SVCXPRT structure leads to libc's RPC code sending packets of incorrect length

2014-08-08 Thread Edgar Fuß
Package: libc6 Version: 2.13-38+deb7u3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch This is really a problem with amd (am-utils), not the eglibc, but it's hard to solve on amd's side (see topic "NFS v2 RPC reply on LOOKUP" on the am-utils list) but can easily be hacked around on eglibc's side. The phe

Bug#757368: kde-runtime: With homedirs on NFS, KDE complains about removed sound devices when logging into different hardware

2014-08-07 Thread Edgar Fuß
Package: kde-runtime Version: 4:4.8.4-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch On a setup with NFS-shared home directories, KDE will complain about allegedly removed sound devices if a user logs into a machine with a different hardware setup. This is due to Phonon remembering the hardware setup i

2014-08-07 Thread Edgar Fuß
Package: kde-runtime Version: 4:4.8.4-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch Kglobalaccel wants to register the Print key. The X11 implementation (kglobalaccel_x11) looks up the X11 keycode for that Qt key, result is 107. It XGrabKey()s 107. Later, the mapping changes. Kglobalaccel now unregiste

Bug#464541: fai: RAMRUN/RAMLOCK doesn't work with /var file system because mount points don't exist on root fs

2008-02-07 Thread Edgar Fuß
Package: fai Version: 3.1.8 Severity: normal Tags: patch I've been asked on linux-fai-devel to file this as bug against FAI. RAMRUM/RAMLOCK expect mount points /var/run and /var/lock to exist very early, i.e. before /var (if on a separate file system) gets mounted. So this fails if the root fs la

Bug#463403: nvidia-kernel: Non-dependency on kernel may cause configuration before kernel, which fails

2008-01-31 Thread Edgar Fuß
Package: nvidia-kernel Severity: normal Tags: patch Is there any reason for nvidia-kernel-xxx not to depend (but just recommend) linux-image-xxx? The problem we ran into with an automatic (FAI) install is that without that dependency, nvidia-kernel may get configured before kernel-image. But t
