Here is a short update on my my -Debian Lenny->Squeeze upgrade testing. Here is a summary of the -difference for Gnome when it is upgraded by apt-get and aptitude. I'm -not reporting the status for KDE, because the upgrade crashes when -aptitude try because of missing conflicts -(#584861 and -#585716).

- -

At the end of the upgrade test script, dpkg -l is executed to get a -complete list of the installed packages. Based on this I see these -differences when I did a test run today. As usual, I do not really -know what the correct set of packages would be, but thought it best to -publish the difference.

Caching password, user and group on a roaming Debian laptop

For a laptop, centralized user directories and password checking is -a bit troubling. Laptops are typically used also when not connected -to the network, and it is vital for a user to be able to log in or -unlock the screen saver also when a central server is unavailable. -This is possible by caching passwords and directory information (user -and group attributes) locally, and the packages to do so are available -in Debian. Here follow two recipes to set this up in Debian/Squeeze. -It is also possible to set up in Debian/Lenny, but require more manual -setup there because pam-auth-update is missing in Lenny.

- -

LDAP/Kerberos + nscd + libpam-ccreds + libpam-mklocaluser/pam_mkhomedir

- -This is the traditional method with a twist. The password caching is -provided by libpam-ccreds (version 10-4 or later is needed on -Squeeze), and the directory caching is done by nscd. The directory -lookup and password checking is done using LDAP. If one want to use -Kerberos for password checking the libpam-ldapd package can be -replaced with libpam-krb5 or libpam-heimdal. If one is happy having a -local home directory with the path listed in LDAP, one can use the -pam_mkhomedir module from pam-modules to make this happen instead of -using libpam-mklocaluser. A setup for pam-auth-update to enable -pam_mkhomedir will have to be written until a fix for -bug #568577 is in the -archive. Because I believe it is a bad idea to have local home -directories using misleading paths like /site/server/partition/, I -prefer to create a local user with the home directory in /home/. This -is done using the libpam-mklocaluser package.

- -

These packages need to be installed and configured

- -
-libnss-ldapd libpam-ldapd nscd libpam-ccreds libpam-mklocaluser
-
- -

The ldapd packages will ask for LDAP connection information, and -one have to fill in the values that fits ones own site. Make sure the -PAM part uses encrypted connections, to make sure the password is not -sent in clear text to the LDAP server. I've been unable to get TLS -certificate checking for a self signed certificate working, which make -LDAP authentication unsafe for Debian Edu (nslcd is not checking if it -is talking to the correct LDAP server), and very much welcome feedback -on how to get this working.

- -

Because nscd do not have a default configuration fit for offline -caching until bug #485282 -is fixed, this configuration should be used instead of the one -currently in /etc/nscd.conf. The changes are in the fields -reload-count and positive-time-to-live, and is based on the -instructions I found in the -LDAP for Mobile Laptops -instructions by Flyn Computing.

- -
-	debug-level		0
-	reload-count		unlimited

While we wait for a mechanism to update /etc/nsswitch.conf -automatically like the one provided in -bug #496915, the file -content need to be manually replaced to ensure LDAP is used as the -directory service on the machine. /etc/nsswitch.conf should normally -look like this:

- -
-passwd:         files ldap
-group:          files ldap
-shadow:         files ldap
-hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
-networks:       files
-protocols:      files
-services:       files
-ethers:         files
-rpc:            files
-netgroup:       files ldap
-
- -

The important parts are that ldap is listed last for passwd, group, -shadow and netgroup.

- -

With these changes in place, any user in LDAP will be able to log -in locally on the machine using for example kdm, get a local home -directory created and have the password as well as user and group -attributes cached. - -

LDAP/Kerberos + nss-updatedb + libpam-ccreds + - libpam-mklocaluser/pam_mkhomedir

- -

Because nscd have had its share of problems, and seem to have -problems doing proper caching, I've seen suggestions and recipes to -use nss-updatedb to copy parts of the LDAP database locally when the -LDAP database is available. I have not tested such setup, because I -discovered sssd.

- -

LDAP/Kerberos + sssd + libpam-mklocaluser

- -

A more flexible and robust setup than the nscd combination -mentioned earlier that has shown up recently, is the -sssd package from Redhat. -It is part of the FreeIPA project -to provide a Active Directory like directory service for Linux -machines. The sssd system combines the caching of passwords and user -information into one package, and remove the need for nscd and -libpam-ccreds. It support LDAP and Kerberos, but not NIS. Version -1.2 do not support netgroups, but it is said that it will support this -in version 1.5 expected to show up later in 2010. Because the -sssd package -was missing in Debian, I ended up co-maintaining it with Werner, and -version 1.2 is now in testing. - -

These packages need to be installed and configured to get the -roaming setup I want

- -
-libpam-sss libnss-sss libpam-mklocaluser
-
- -The complete setup of sssd is done by editing/creating -/etc/sssd/sssd.conf. - -
-[sssd]
-config_file_version = 2
-reconnection_retries = 3
-sbus_timeout = 30
-services = nss, pam
-domains = INTERN
-
-[nss]
-filter_groups = root
-filter_users = root
-reconnection_retries = 3
-
-[pam]
-reconnection_retries = 3
-
-[domain/INTERN]
-enumerate = false
-cache_credentials = true
-
-id_provider = ldap
-auth_provider = ldap
-chpass_provider = ldap
-
-ldap_uri = ldap://ldap
-ldap_search_base = dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
-ldap_tls_reqcert = never
-ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
-
- -

I got the same problem here with certificate checking. Had to set -"ldap_tls_reqcert = never" to get it working.

- -

With the libnss-sss package in testing at the moment, the -nsswitch.conf file is update automatically, so there is no need to -modify it manually.

Debatten rundt sporveiselskapet i Oslos (Ruter AS) ønske om +å +radiomerke med RFID alle sine kunder og +registerere +hvor hver og en av oss beveger oss pågår, og en ting som har +kommet lite frem i debatten er at det faktisk er en menneskerett å +kunne ferdes anonymt internt i ens eget land.

+ +

Fant en grei kilde for dette i et +skriv +fra Datatilsynet til Samferdselsdepartementet om tema:

+ +

Retten til å ferdes anonymt kan utledes av +menneskerettskonvensjonen artikkel 8 og av EUs personverndirektiv. +Her heter det at enkeltpersoners grunnleggende rettigheter og frihet +må respekteres, særlig retten til privatlivets fred. I både +personverndirektivet og i den norske personopplysningsloven er +selvråderetten til hver enkelt et av grunnprinsippene, hovedsaklig +uttrykt ved at en må gi et frivillig, informert og uttrykkelig +samtykke til behandling av personopplysninger.

+ +

For meg er det viktig at jeg kan ferdes anonymt, og det er litt av +bakgrunnen til at jeg handler med kontanter, ikke har mobiltelefon og +forventer å kunne reise med bil og kollektivtrafikk uten at det blir +registrert hvor jeg har vært. Ruter angriper min rett til å ferdes +uten radiopeiler med sin innføring av RFID-kort, og dokumenterer sitt +ønske om å registrere hvor kundene befant seg ved å ønske å gebyrlegge +oss som ikke registrerer oss hver gang vi beveger oss med +kollektivtrafikken i Oslo. Jeg synes det er hårreisende.

The last few days I have been looking into the status of the LDAP -directory in Debian Edu, and in the process I started to miss a GUI -tool to browse the LDAP tree. The only one I was able to find in -Debian/Squeeze and Lenny is -LUMA, which has proved to -be a great tool to get a overview of the current LDAP directory -populated by default in Skolelinux. Thanks to it, I have been able to -find empty and obsolete subtrees, misplaced objects and duplicate -objects. It will be installed by default in Debian/Squeeze. If you -are working with LDAP, give it a go. :)

- -

I did notice one problem with it I have not had time to report to -the BTS yet. There is no .desktop file in the package, so the tool do -not show up in the Gnome and KDE menus, but only deep down in in the -Debian submenu in KDE. I hope that can be fixed before Squeeze is -released.

- -

I have not yet been able to get it to modify the tree yet. I would -like to move objects and remove subtrees directly in the GUI, but have -not found a way to do that with LUMA yet. So in the mean time, I use -ldapvi for that.

- -

If you have tips on other GUI tools for LDAP that might be useful -in Debian Edu, please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.

- -

Update 2010-06-29: Ross Reedstrom tipped us about the -gq package as a -useful GUI alternative. It seem like a good tool, but is unmaintained -in Debian and got a RC bug keeping it out of Squeeze. Unless that -changes, it will not be an option for Debian Edu based on Squeeze.

+

A few days ago I had the mixed pleasure of bying a new digital +camera, a Canon IXUS 130. It was instructive and very disturbing to +be able to verify that also this camera producer have the nerve to +specify how I can or can not use the videos produced with the camera. +Even thought I was aware of the issue, the options with new cameras +are limited and I ended up bying the camera anyway. What is the +problem, you might ask? It is software patents, MPEG-4, H.264 and the +MPEG-LA that is the problem, and our right to record our experiences +without asking for permissions that is at risk. + +

On page 27 of the Danish instruction manual, this section is +written:

+ +
+

This product is licensed under AT&T patents for the MPEG-4 standard +and may be used for encoding MPEG-4 compliant video and/or decoding +MPEG-4 compliant video that was encoded only (1) for a personal and +non-commercial purpose or (2) by a video provider licensed under the +AT&T patents to provide MPEG-4 compliant video.

+ +

No license is granted or implied for any other use for MPEG-4 +standard.

+
+ +

In short, the camera producer have chosen to use technology +(MPEG-4/H.264) that is only provided if I used it for personal and +non-commercial purposes, or ask for permission from the organisations +holding the knowledge monopoly (patent) for technology used.

+ +

This issue has been brewing for a while, and I recommend you to +read +"Why +Our Civilization's Video Art and Culture is Threatened by the +MPEG-LA" by Eugenia Loli-Queru and +"H.264 Is Not +The Sort Of Free That Matters" by Simon Phipps to learn more about +the issue. The solution is to support the +free and +open standards for video, like Ogg +Theora, and avoid MPEG-4 and H.264 if you can.

Idea for a change to LDAP schemas allowing DNS and DHCP info to be combined into one object

A while back, I -complained -about the fact that it is not possible with the provided schemas -for storing DNS and DHCP information in LDAP to combine the two sets -of information into one LDAP object representing a computer.

- -

In the mean time, I discovered that a simple fix would be to make -the dhcpHost object class auxiliary, to allow it to be combined with -the dNSDomain object class, and thus forming one object for one -computer when storing both DHCP and DNS information in LDAP.

- -

If I understand this correctly, it is not safe to do this change -without also changing the assigned number for the object class, and I -do not know enough about LDAP schema design to do that properly for -Debian Edu.

- -

Anyway, for future reference, this is how I believe we could change -the -DHCP -schema to solve at least part of the problem with the LDAP schemas -available today from IETF.

- -

I very much welcome clues on how to do this properly for Debian -Edu/Squeeze. We provide the DHCP schema in our debian-edu-config -package, and should thus be free to rewrite it as we see fit.

Med +OpenStreetmap.org og Frikart.no +kan en altså ha korreksjonene på plass i sin Garmin-GPS i løpet av en +uke. Det er også av tekniske årsaker at det tar så langt tid. +Jobbene som tegner kartene, henter ut kartdumpene og konverterer til +Garmin-format tar minutter og timer å gjennomføre, slik at de ikke +gjøres kontinuerlig men kun regelmessing.

Calling tasksel like the installer, while still getting useful output

Some notes on Flash in Debian and Debian Edu
+
2010-09-04 10:10
-

A few times I have had the need to simulate the way tasksel -installs packages during the normal debian-installer run. Until now, -I have ended up letting tasksel do the work, with the annoying problem -of not getting any feedback at all when something fails (like a -conffile question from dpkg or a download that fails), using code like -this: - -

-export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
-tasksel --new-install
-
- -This would invoke tasksel, let its automatic task selection pick the -tasks to install, and continue to install the requested tasks without -any output what so ever. - -Recently I revisited this problem while working on the automatic -package upgrade testing, because tasksel would some times hang without -any useful feedback, and I want to see what is going on when it -happen. Then it occured to me, I can parse the output from tasksel -when asked to run in test mode, and use that aptitude command line -printed by tasksel then to simulate the tasksel run. I ended up using -code like this: - -
-export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
-cmd="$(in_target tasksel -t --new-install | sed 's/debconf-apt-progress -- //')"
-$cmd
-
- -

The content of $cmd is typically something like "aptitude -q ---without-recommends -o APT::Install-Recommends=no -y install -~t^desktop$ ~t^gnome-desktop$ ~t^laptop$ ~pstandard ~prequired -~pimportant", which will install the gnome desktop task, the -laptop task and all packages with priority standard , required and -important, just like tasksel would have done it during -installation.

- -

A better approach is probably to extend tasksel to be able to -install packages without using debconf-apt-progress, for use cases -like this.

+

In the Debian +popularity-contest numbers, the adobe-flashplugin package the +second most popular used package that is missing in Debian. The sixth +most popular is flashplayer-mozilla. This is a clear indication that +working flash is important for Debian users. Around 10 percent of the +users submitting data to popcon.debian.org have this package +installed.

+ +

In the report written by Lars Risan in August 2008 +(«Skolelinux +i bruk – Rapport for Hurum kommune, Universitetet i Agder og +stiftelsen SLX Debian Labs»), one of the most important problems +schools experienced with Debian +Edu/Skolelinux was the lack of working Flash. A lot of educational +web sites require Flash to work, and lacking working Flash support in +the web browser and the problems with installing it was perceived as a +good reason to stay with Windows.

+ +

I once saw a funny and sad comment in a web forum, where Linux was +said to be the retarded cousin that did not really understand +everything you told him but could work fairly well. This was a +comment regarding the problems Linux have with proprietary formats and +non-standard web pages, and is sad because it exposes a fairly common +understanding of whose fault it is if web pages that only work in for +example Internet Explorer 6 fail to work on Firefox, and funny because +it explain very well how annoying it is for users when Linux +distributions do not work with the documents they receive or the web +pages they want to visit.

+ +

This is part of the reason why I believe it is important for Debian +and Debian Edu to have a well working Flash implementation in the +distribution, to get at least popular sites as Youtube and Google +Video to working out of the box. For Squeeze, Debian have the chance +to include the latest version of Gnash that will make this happen, as +the new release 0.8.8 was published a few weeks ago and is resting in +unstable. The new version work with more sites that version 0.8.7. +The Gnash maintainers have asked for a freeze exception, but the +release team have not had time to reply to it yet. I hope they agree +with me that Flash is important for the Debian desktop users, and thus +accept the new package into Squeeze.

Dagbladet -melder at Vinmonopolet med bakgrunn i vekterstreiken som pågår i -Norge for tiden, har bestemt seg for med vitende og vilje å bryte -sentralbanklovens paragraf 14 ved å nekte folk å betale med -kontanter, og at flere butikker planlegger å følge deres eksempel. -Jeg synes det er hårreisende hvis de slipper unna med et slikt -soleklart lovbrudd, og lurer på hva slags muligheter jeg vil ha hvis -jeg blir nektet å handle med kontanter. Jeg handler i hovedsak med -kontanter selv, da jeg anser det som en borgerrett å kunne handle -anonymt uten at det blir registrert. For meg er det et angrep på mitt -personvern å nekte å ta imot kontant betaling.

- -

Paragrafen -i sentralbankloven lyder:

-

§ 14. Tvungent betalingsmiddel

- -

Bankens sedler og mynter er tvungent betalingsmiddel i Norge. Ingen -er pliktig til i én betaling å ta imot mer enn femogtyve mynter av -hver enhet.

Sterkt skadde sedler og mynter er ikke tvungent -betalingsmiddel. Banken gir nærmere forskrifter om erstatning for -bortkomne, brente eller skadde sedler og mynter.

- -

Selv om en avtale inneholder klausul om betaling av en -pengeforpliktelse i gullverdi, kan skyldneren frigjøre seg med tvungne -betalingsmidler uten hensyn til denne klausul.

-
- -

Det er med bakgrunn i denne lovet ikke tillatt å nekte å ta imot -kontakt betaling. Det er en lov jeg har sans for, og som jeg mener må -håndheves strengt.

This evening I made my first Perl GUI application. The last few +days I have worked on a Perl module for controlling my recently +aquired Spykee robots, and the module is now getting complete enought +that it is possible to use it to control the robot driving at least. +It was now time to figure out how to use it to create some GUI to +allow me to drive the robot around. I picked PerlQt as I have had +positive experiences with the Qt API before, and spent a few minutes +browsing the web for examples. Using Qt Designer seemed like a short +cut, so I ended up writing the perl GUI using Qt Designer and +compiling it into a perl program using the puic program from +libqt-perl. Nothing fancy yet, but it got buttons to connect and +drive around.

+ +

The perl module I have written provide a object oriented API for +controlling the robot. Here is an small example on how to use it:

+ +

+use Spykee;
+Spykee::discover(sub {$robot{$_[0]} = $_[1]});
+my $host = (keys %robot)[0];
+my $spykee = Spykee->new();
+$spykee->contact($host, "admin", "admin");
+$spykee->left();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->right();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->forward();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->back();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee->stop();
+

+ +

Thanks to the release of the source of the robot firmware, I could +peek into the implementation at the other end to figure out how to +implement the protocol used by the robot. I've implemented several of +the commands the robot understand, but is still missing the camera +support to make it possible to control the robot from remote. First I +want to implement support for uploading new firmware and configuring +the wireless network, to make it possible to bootstrap a Spykee robot +without the producers Windows and MacOSX software (I only have Linux, +so I had to ask a friend to come over to get the robot testing +going. :).

+ +

Will release the source to the public soon, but need to figure out +where to make it available first. I will add a link to +the NUUG wiki for +those that want to check back later to find it.

Forslag i stortinget om å stoppe elektronisk stemmegiving i Norge
+
2010-08-31 21:00
-

For those of us caring about document exchange and -interoperability, OfficeShots -is a great service. It is to ODF documents what -BrowserShots is for web -pages.

- -

A while back, I was contacted by Knut Yrvin at the part of Nokia -that used to be Trolltech, who wanted to help the OfficeShots project -and wondered if the University of Oslo where I work would be -interested in supporting the project. I helped him to navigate his -request to the right people at work, and his request was answered with -a spot in the machine room with power and network connected, and Knut -arranged funding for a machine to fill the spot. The machine is -administrated by the OfficeShots people, so I do not have daily -contact with its progress, and thus from time to time check back to -see how the project is doing.

- -

Today I had a look, and was happy to see that the Dell box in our -machine room now is the host for several virtual machines running as -OfficeShots factories, and the project is able to render ODF documents -in 17 different document processing implementation on Linux and -Windows. This is great.

+

Ble tipset i dag om at et forslag om å stoppe forsøkene med +elektronisk stemmegiving utenfor valglokaler er +til +behandling i Stortinget. +Forslaget +er fremmet av Erna Solberg, Michael Tetzschner og Trond Helleland.

+ +

Håper det får flertall.

Lenny->Squeeze upgrades, removals by apt and aptitude

Broken hard link handling with sshfs

2010-08-30 19:30
-

My -testing -of Debian upgrades from Lenny to Squeeze continues, and I've -finally made the upgrade logs available from -http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/debian-upgrade-testing/. -I am now testing dist-upgrade of Gnome and KDE in a chroot using both -apt and aptitude, and found their differences interesting. This time -I will only focus on their removal plans.

- -

After installing a Gnome desktop and the laptop task, apt-get wants -to remove 72 packages when dist-upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze. The -surprising part is that it want to remove xorg and all -xserver-xorg-video* drivers. Clearly not a good choice, but I am not -sure why. When asking aptitude to do the same, it want to remove 129 -packages, but most of them are library packages I suspect are no -longer needed. Both of them want to remove bluetooth packages, which -I do not know. Perhaps these bluetooth packages are obsolete?

- -

For KDE, apt-get want to remove 82 packages, among them kdebase -which seem like a bad idea and xorg the same way as with Gnome. Asking -aptitude for the same, it wants to remove 192 packages, none which are -too surprising.

- -

I guess the removal of xorg during upgrades should be investigated -and avoided, and perhaps others as well. Here are the complete list -of planned removals. The complete logs is available from the URL -above. Note if you want to repeat these tests, that the upgrade test -for kde+apt-get hung in the tasksel setup because of dpkg asking -conffile questions. No idea why. I worked around it by using -'echo >> /proc/pidofdpkg/fd/0' to tell dpkg to -continue.

Just got an email from Tobias Gruetzmacher as a followup on my +previous +post about sshfs. He reported another problem with sshfs. It +fail to handle hard links properly. A simple way to spot this is to +look at the . and .. entries in the directory tree. These should have +a link count >1, but on sshfs the count is 1. I just tested to see +what happen when trying to hardlink, and this fail as well:

+ +
+% ln foo bar
+ln: creating hard link `bar' => `foo': Function not implemented
+%
+
+ +

I have not yet found time to implement a test for this in my file +system test code, but believe having working hard links is useful to +avoid surprised unix programs. Not as useful as working file locking +and symlinks, which are required to get a working desktop, but useful +nevertheless. :)

+

The latest version of the file system test code is available via +git from +http://github.com/gebi/fs-test

Åpne trådløsnett er et samfunnsgode

Sikkerhetsteateret på flyplassene fortsetter
+
2010-08-28 10:40

Veldig glad for å oppdage via -Slashdot -at folk i Finland har forstått at åpne trådløsnett er et samfunnsgode. -Jeg ser på åpne trådløsnett som et fellesgode på linje med retten til -ferdsel i utmark og retten til å bevege seg i strandsonen. Jeg har -glede av åpne trådløsnett når jeg finner dem, og deler gladelig nett -med andre så lenge de ikke forstyrrer min bruk av eget nett. -Nettkapasiteten er sjelden en begrensning ved normal browsing og enkel -SSH-innlogging (som er min vanligste nettbruk), og nett kan brukes til -så mye positivt og nyttig (som nyhetslesing, sjekke været, kontakte -slekt og venner, holde seg oppdatert om politiske saker, kontakte -organisasjoner og politikere, etc), at det for meg er helt urimelig å -blokkere dette for alle som ikke gjør en flue fortred. De som mener -at potensialet for misbruk er grunn nok til å hindre all den positive -og lovlydige bruken av et åpent trådløsnett har jeg dermed ingen -forståelse for. En kan ikke eksistensen av forbrytere styre hvordan -samfunnet skal organiseres. Da får en et kontrollsamfunn de færreste -ønsker å leve i, og det at vi har et samfunn i Norge der tilliten til -hverandre er høy gjør at samfunnet fungerer ganske godt. Det bør vi -anstrenge oss for å beholde.

+

Jeg skrev for et halvt år siden hvordan +samfunnet +kaster bort ressurser på sikkerhetstiltak som ikke fungerer. Kom +nettopp over en +historie +fra en pilot fra USA som kommenterer det samme. Jeg mistenker det +kun er uvitenhet og autoritetstro som gjør at så få protesterer. Har +veldig sans for piloten omtalt i Aftenposten 2007-10-23, +og skulle ønske flere rettet oppmerksomhet mot problemet. Det gir +ikke meg trygghetsfølelse på flyplassene når jeg ser at +flyplassadministrasjonen kaster bort folk, penger og tid på tull i +stedet for ting som bidrar til reell økning av sikkerheten. Det +forteller meg jo at vurderingsevnen til de som burde bidra til økt +sikkerhet er svært sviktende, noe som ikke taler godt for de andre +tiltakene.

+ +

Mon tro hva som skjer hvis det fantes en enkel brosjyre å skrive ut +fra Internet som forklarte hva som er galt med sikkerhetsopplegget på +flyplassene, og folk skrev ut og la en bunke på flyplassene når de +passerte. Kanskje det ville fått flere til å få øynene opp for +problemet.

+ +

Personlig synes jeg flyopplevelsen er blitt så avskyelig at jeg +forsøker å klare meg med tog, bil og båt for å slippe ubehaget. Det +er dog noe vanskelig i det langstrakte Norge og for å kunne besøke de +delene av verden jeg ønsker å nå. Mistenker at flere har det slik, og +at dette går ut over inntjeningen til flyselskapene. Det er antagelig +en god ting sett fra et miljøperspektiv, men det er en annen sak.

Automatic upgrade testing from Lenny to Squeeze
-
2010-06-11 22:50
+
Skolelinux i Osloskolen
+
2010-08-26 22:25
-

The last few days I have done some upgrade testing in Debian, to -see if the upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze will go smoothly. A few bugs -have been discovered and reported in the process -(#585410 in nagios3-cgi, -#584879 already fixed in -enscript and #584861 in -kdebase-workspace-data), and to get a more regular testing going on, I -am working on a script to automate the test.

- -

The idea is to create a Lenny chroot and use tasksel to install a -Gnome or KDE desktop installation inside the chroot before upgrading -it. To ensure no services are started in the chroot, a policy-rc.d -script is inserted. To make sure tasksel believe it is to install a -desktop on a laptop, the tasksel tests are replaced in the chroot -(only acceptable because this is a throw-away chroot).

- -

A naive upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze using aptitude dist-upgrade -currently always fail because udev refuses to upgrade with the kernel -in Lenny, so to avoid that problem the file /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade -is created. The bug report -#566000 make me suspect -this problem do not trigger in a chroot, but I touch the file anyway -to make sure the upgrade go well. Testing on virtual and real -hardware have failed me because of udev so far, and creating this file -do the trick in such settings anyway. This is a -known -issue and the current udev behaviour is intended by the udev -maintainer because he lack the resources to rewrite udev to keep -working with old kernels or something like that. I really wish the -udev upstream would keep udev backwards compatible, to avoid such -upgrade problem, but given that they fail to do so, I guess -documenting the way out of this mess is the best option we got for -Debian Squeeze.

- -

Anyway, back to the task at hand, testing upgrades. This test -script, which I call upgrade-test for now, is doing the -trick:

- -
-#!/bin/sh
-set -ex
-
-if [ "$1" ] ; then
-    desktop=$1
-else
-    desktop=gnome
-fi
-
-from=lenny
-to=squeeze
-
-exec < /dev/null
-unset LANG
-mirror=http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian
-tmpdir=chroot-$from-upgrade-$to-$desktop
-fuser -mv .
-debootstrap $from $tmpdir $mirror
-chroot $tmpdir aptitude update
-cat > $tmpdir/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d <<EOF
-#!/bin/sh
-exit 101
-EOF
-chmod a+rx $tmpdir/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
-exit_cleanup() {
-    umount $tmpdir/proc
-}
-mount -t proc proc $tmpdir/proc
-# Make sure proc is unmounted also on failure
-trap exit_cleanup EXIT INT
-
-chroot $tmpdir aptitude -y install debconf-utils
-
-# Make sure tasksel autoselection trigger.  It need the test scripts
-# to return the correct answers.
-echo tasksel tasksel/desktop multiselect $desktop | \
-    chroot $tmpdir debconf-set-selections
-
-# Include the desktop and laptop task
-for test in desktop laptop ; do
-    echo > $tmpdir/usr/lib/tasksel/tests/$test <<EOF
-#!/bin/sh
-exit 2
-EOF
-    chmod a+rx $tmpdir/usr/lib/tasksel/tests/$test
-done
-
-DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
-DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical
-export DEBIAN_FRONTEND DEBIAN_PRIORITY
-chroot $tmpdir tasksel --new-install
-
-echo deb $mirror $to main > $tmpdir/etc/apt/sources.list
-chroot $tmpdir aptitude update
-touch $tmpdir/etc/udev/kernel-upgrade
-chroot $tmpdir aptitude -y dist-upgrade
-fuser -mv
-
- -

I suspect it would be useful to test upgrades with both apt-get and -with aptitude, but I have not had time to look at how they behave -differently so far. I hope to get a cron job running to do the test -regularly and post the result on the web. The Gnome upgrade currently -work, while the KDE upgrade fail because of the bug in -kdebase-workspace-data

- -

I am not quite sure what kind of extract from the huge upgrade logs -(KDE 167 KiB, Gnome 516 KiB) it make sense to include in this blog -post, so I will refrain from trying. I can report that for Gnome, -aptitude report 760 packages upgraded, 448 newly installed, 129 to -remove and 1 not upgraded and 1024MB need to be downloaded while for -KDE the same numbers are 702 packages upgraded, 507 newly installed, -193 to remove and 0 not upgraded and 1117MB need to be downloaded

- -

I am very happy to notice that the Gnome desktop + laptop upgrade -is able to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing and parallel -booting without a hitch. Was unsure if there were still bugs with -packages failing to clean up their obsolete init.d script during -upgrades, and no such problem seem to affect the Gnome desktop+laptop -packages.

Denne høsten skal endelig alle Osloskolene få mulighet til å bruke +Skolelinux. Ny IT-løsning +har vært rullet ut i noen måneder nå, og så vidt jeg fikk vite før +sommeren skulle alle skoler ha nytt opplegg på plass før oppstart nå i +høst. På alle skolene skal en kunne velge ved installasjon om en skal +ha Windows eller Skolelinux på maskinene, og en kan i tillegg +PXE-boote maskinene over nett som tynne klienter eller diskløse +arbeidsstasjoner. Jeg er spent på hvor mange skoler som velger å ta i +bruk Skolelinux, og gleder meg til å se hvordan dette utvikler seg. +Løsningen leveres av +Logica med +Skolelinux Drift AS som +underleverandør, og jeg har vært involvert i utviklingen av løsningen +via Skolelinux Drift AS siden prosjektet starter. Jeg synes det er +fantastisk at Skolelinux er kommet så langt siden vi startet i 2001 at +alle elevene i Osloskolene nå skal få mulighet til å bruke +løsningen. Jeg håper de vil sette pris på alle de +fantastiske +brukerprogrammene som er tilgjengelig i Skolelinux.
