Bug#490704: Some further info

Hi!

I had this exakt problem on a brand new T61p using lenny and the 2.6.25-2 amd64 kernel. It happened when I
transfered a 1G Mail directoty over my wireless connection using ssh. Logging into the frozen machine
from another computer didn't work.

I tried reproducing the effect doing the same transfer, but this time the transfer succeeded. 

The card I'm using is a 4965AG, but searching the net, this seems to be a common GNU/Linux problem for people
with different wireless cards.

Bug#493171: rsyslog: /dev/xconsole is not labelled for SE Linux

Package: rsyslog
Version: 3.16.2-1
Severity: normal

In Lenny /etc/init.d/sysklogd has the following in it's
create_xconsole() function:
test ! -x /sbin/restorecon || /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole

That gives the correct labelling of the pipe on SE Linux systems (and
causes no inconvenience for non-SE users).

When you upload a fix for this please ask
debian-release <at> lists.debian.org if they can include it for Lenny.

Bug#493172: network-manager-gnome: nm-applet will not connect to wireless network

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: important

I have a very specific and highly reproducible problem with nm-applet.  
The system is freshly built in the following way:
1) Use Lenny Beta 2 netboot initrd.gz and linux on usb stick to install 
lenny
2) Upgrade to Sid
3) Use tasksel to install tasks desktop and gnome-desktop

I know start /etc/init.d/gdm, and network-manager is able to connect to 
wireless networks and wired networks.

However, once I reboot, nm-applet will not connect to wireless networks.  
It defaults to wired.  If I click on the applet and select "Edit 
Wireless Networks" or another wireless network, it freezes and must be 
killed with kill.  Now is where the weird stuff begins.  If I have 
nm-applet running and connected to a wireless network, running "modprobe 
-r ipw2200" from a terminal causes it to pop the screen asking to 
connect to a wireless network.  Of course, this fails because the module 
is no longer loaded.  However, this is the ONLY time that I can get it 
to show the screen.  I tried installing gnome-keyring-manager, thinking 
it was a keyring problem, but this solved nothing.

Any help is appreciated.

Bug#481542: grub2: please user triggers

>(This is also potentially a problem with the initramfs-tools triggers, I
>guess..)

I have now installed etch in a VM and then used aptitude to update it to lenny
As soon as the kernel is configured, there's a mkinitramfs-kpkg call
and after everything is finished the update-initramfs trigger is run.

>Note that ubuntu has triggerised grub; I don't know how/if they deal0
>with that case.

I just started to learn about these triggers.

I looked at the ubuntu packages.

grub2 doestn't have a trigger.
But grub-legacy has a "interest update-grub" trigger.

If that means that when another package runs update-grub then not the
real one is called,
but just dpkg informed to run this trigger, then this would be probable
better then my "interest /boot" trigger.
Their linux_2.6.26-5.13 package doestn't have any trigger update-grub
stuff, only the postinst_hook and postrm_hook,
that our kernel packages probable has too.

Their grub-legacy has a kernel-helper and last-good-boot script which
hardlinks the last working kernel to /boot/last-good-boot/
so on ubuntu you probable always have a working boot entry on at least
grub-legacy.

Bug#492861: Progress bar rewinds when running pre-pkgsel.d/10popcon

As far as my imagination goes, the problem in this approach lies in the
debconf-apt-progress interface.  It takes:
  --from <start position> --to <end position>

debconf-apt-progress is used (at least) by the popcon pre-pkgsel.d
script.  So we would at least need to change the way pre-pkgsel.d
scripts are called to give them their allocated start and end position
on the progress bar.

I have moved away from this approach for the proposed one to support
the idea, already present in the current pkgsel postinst, that a step
that would do nothing should not take space in the progress bar
(pkgsel/include).

Another point is that the proposed approach makes it easy to support
scripts that want control on their progress bar and those who do not.  
Having a script echoing back a new position is an easy way to determine

The only difference between 1.1.2.3 and 1.1.2.4 is the
98smart-kernel-video fix.  Everything else is identical. :)

If you need some spin fr a freeze exemption, this is a necessary update
if Lenny will ship with 2.6.26.

Bug#493079: [Pkg-trac-devel] Bug#493079: source package can't be build with python2.4

Strange, because i have that command using 

chmod +x $(CURDIR)/debian/trac/usr/lib/python
$(PYVER)/site-packages/trac/admin/templates/deploy_trac.wsgi

where it has the $(PYVER) environment var.
i'll check.

thanks
