Public bug reported: Binary package hint: irqbalance
[using 0.55+20091017-3ubuntu2 on lucid] irqbalance gets enabled unconditionally upon installation. The user's answer to the question whether it should be enabled (upon installation or dpkg-reconfigure) gets ignored: ,--- | $ cat /etc/default/irqbalance | #Configuration for the irqbalance daemon | | #Should irqbalance be enabled? | ENABLED=1 | #Balance the IRQs only once? | ONESHOT="0" | $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -ftext irqbalance | stop: Unknown instance: | Configuring irqbalance | ---------------------- | | Enable the irqbalance daemon to balance IRQs on SMP systems and systems with | hyperthreading. | | Would you like to enable irqbalance? n | | | irqbalance can run in one shot mode, where the IRQs are balanced only once. This | is advantageous on hyperthreading systems such as the Pentium 4, which appear to | be SMP systems, but are really one physical CPU. | | Would you like to balance the IRQs once? y | | | irqbalance start/running, process 1496 | $ cat /etc/default/irqbalance | #Configuration for the irqbalance daemon | | #Should irqbalance be enabled? | ENABLED=1 | #Balance the IRQs only once? | ONESHOT="1" `--- => dpkg-reconfigure managed to change the ONESHOT setting but not the ENABLED setting. The problem is caused by a confusion over where to use "ENABLED" and where "ENABLE". I'm attaching a trivial patch which fixes the problem. ** Affects: irqbalance (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- irqbalance enabled unconditionally, can't be disabled via debconf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573657 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to irqbalance in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
