Bug 26036

Created attachment 32621 [details]
GPG key

Created attachment 32622 [details]
SSH public key

As per http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests , please get the project leader for the project you want access to to sign off on your request.

You already have an account.  If you want to update the associated SSH and GPG key (because you have lost the old one), you need to provide us with some proof of identity.  Some suggestions are:

* Get your key signed by someone else at fd.o
* Indicate which groups you have access to on fd.o
* Indicate 3 files in your home directory
* Anything else which verifies who you are

Could you provide us with any of this, by any chance?

Please remove the NEEDINFO tag when replying.

May I know who is the leader or maintainer of xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi?
I would like to contact him to sign me the accesss right or update SSH and GPG if possible. Thanks a lot.

You don't need any approval from the xorg project admins to update your GPG key, so please just respond to my questions in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26036#c4

Here is something that should help, found in Phoronix
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzkyNA

"XGI's Jong Lin has written patches for xf86-video-xgi so that it can work on ARM-based systems, supports EXA acceleration, can handle EDID with I2C function, supports custom modes, and the unification of more code between the x86/PowerPC/ARM architectures. Confirmation of this work can be found here."

[GN: "here" being a link to the path is trying to release]

"Jong Lin is a long-time XGI employee and someone that I had communicated with some five years ago. We're awaiting comment to find out whether XGI Technology plans to relaunch itself in some fashion or they are just looking to spice up their Linux driver for those few out there that still have a Volari graphics card."

Michael Larabel is the person from Phoronix who communicated with Jong and also interviewed Jeryuan Yan. Both names can be found associated together in other articles.

I think it qualifies for "Anything else which verifies who you are".

The GPG key attachment includes four different keys, but the account system only wants one, so I randomly chose 2048R/FA458A4B as the GPG key associated with your account.  I've also set up your SSH keys.

I tried to check in code to http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi/ with the following procedure but got a failure for command "git push".
Do I have a right to do commit? Or only can check out codes? Is there anything wrong or missed? Please kindly comment me.

> Fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I looked for differences compared to my setup. I have a file called "conf" in ~/.ssh:
Host *.freedesktop.org
    User gnadon
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo

This is the userid from the account I was given.

A minor difference difference is that use
git push origin master
You can also use
git push --dry-run origin master
to try it out without actually pushing code.

You should be able to login to annarchy.freedesktop.org e.g.:
ssh annarchy.freedesktop.org

If you don't have write permission to git repository, you will get a different message.

You need to push to ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi, not git://.

Per your information, I still got a problem at step (4) if I use ssh protocol. I tried three times of my password which was given when running ssh-keygen before. But I got failure and have a "Permission denied". Is there anything wrong?

(4). Check out code

# git clone ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi
./xgi-git-1


Initialized empty Git repository in /GIT-04192010/xgi-git-1/.git/

Password:
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from 'ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi' failed.

The passphrase you set for your ssh key has nothing to do with the password you have on fdo, you need to make sure to either tell ssh where to get the key from (using ~/.ssh/config) or using -i to ssh.

Can you please first make sure you can log into annarchy using

ssh -v -i ~/where/you/put/the/ssh/key -l xgi0007 annarchy.freedesktop.org ?

if this does not work, can you please provide me with the full output?

If it works, it seems like it's trying with the wrong user or something like that, in which case, please put:

Host *.freedesktop.org
  User xgi0007
  IdentityFile ~/where/you/put/the/ssh/key

into ~/.ssh/config

and then try using git.

Thank you very much for your support. I've succeeded to checked in a ptach.

Ok, that's good news.  Closing this bug, then.
