=== Mithrandir hits the sack.
dokokeybuk: thanks for the explanation!12:07
mdzMithrandir: night12:07
dokomithrandir: good night, so the gXX-3.4 dependencies should be no problem12:08
Keybukwell, as much as << dependencies have always been useless, sure :p12:09
Keybukiirc. versioned conflicts have the same problem, you can always stick the conflicting version in afterwards12:12
mdzfabbione: hmm, my uxterm colours (for ls and such) are now different in unstable12:14
dokomdz: btw, do we have something faster than gnome-terminal for desktop?12:18
Keybukwhat's wrong with gnome-terminal?12:18
=== Clint [~asdfasf@user-12hdtek.cable.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu
dokokeybuk: try compiling gcc in xterm and in gnome-terminal. it's slower in gnome-terminal.12:23
Keybukyes, iirc. vte deliberately slows down scrolling so you can read it12:24
dokonot something that our target user will notice, but it's a bit annoying.12:25
Kamioncurrent daily looks good on i386, ok on powerpc except for a few glitches12:27
KamionKeybuk: whoa, that's a stupid idea12:28
Kamiondoko: xterm's in desktop ...12:28
dokokamion: but not accessible from the menu by default.12:29
Kamiontrue12:29
Keybukpeople who want it know where they can get it12:30
Keybukconfusing users with "Terminal", "X Terminal", "Unicode X Terminal" is bad12:30
Keybukcf. "Another Clock"12:30
glyphIMHO cryptic options should look cryptic12:32
Keybukno, they should look invisible12:32
dokosure, but maybe that could be addressed for hoary. we have an alternative for a web browser as well. Simply add/substitute the things from gnome, which are not good enough. it doesn't have to be xterm, maybe something else, as long as it's not kterm.12:32
glyphKeybuk: novices will ignore things they don't understand; if you have an "advanced" menu that says "uxterm aterm rxvt Eterm", nobody is going to expect those words to open a word processor :)12:33
KeybukAdvanced menus are evil12:33
Kamionwhy?12:34
Keybuk"Here's a set of things that are different, but we're not telling you how"12:34
mdzxterm is in desktop, rxvt is in universe12:34
mdzI don't think they should be in the menu12:34
dokomdz: yes, there should only one terminal emulator in the menu, but gnome-terminal doesn't seem to be the best choice.12:35
Keybukif a user really wants eterm, they'll download and install it themselves and set up their own launcher for it12:35
Keybukdoko: it's the only one that fits in with the rest of the desktop12:35
mdzdoko: I find gnome-terminal to be a nice balance of unicode support, configurability and usability12:36
mdzit is a much better choice for the menu than, e.g. xterm or rxvt12:36
Keybukuxterm is slower than gnome-terminal isn't it, anyway?12:36
jdubahr12:36
Kamiongetting gnome-terminal to use unicode is pain12:36
mdzKeybuk: no12:36
jdubKeybuk: especially not if you're using screen ;)12:36
mdzKamion: eh?  it seems to do utf-8 by default12:36
Kamionyou have to not only start it in a Unicode locale but also export LANG=whatever once you're inside the new terminal window12:36
KeybukKamion: huh?  it uses it by default?12:36
Kamionif you LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 xterm then it passes that through to the locale like it's supposed to12:37
dokomdz: I don't argue about the usability of gnome-terminal, but it's way too slooow.12:37
KamionI suspect gnome-terminal defaults to a login shell or something12:37
Keybukwell, obviously LANG has to be exported, otherwise apps don't know to output utf-8 characters12:37
jdubdoko: that can be fixed, and people who need a fast terminal can fall back on xterm12:37
KamionKeybuk: dude, LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gnome-terminal starts up a terminal in en_GB12:37
KeybukKamion: What is the "Run command as a login shell" option set to?12:37
mdzI don't think it defaults to a login shell; I remember having to enable that12:37
KamionI'm running this from another terminal12:37
mdzbecause dammit, it's the right thing to do12:38
Kamionpreferences should be irrelevant12:38
Keybukdescent scott% export LANG=C12:38
Keybukdescent scott% LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gnome-terminal12:38
Keybuk--12:38
Keybukdescent scott% echo $LANG12:38
Keybuken_GB.UTF-812:38
jdubmdz: it is? i always wondered about that - does that make .bash_profile do the right thing?12:38
Kamionfresh warty installation, I have no idea about descent12:38
dokokeybuk: it runs bash --login12:38
Keybukare you sure you're actually running gnome-terminal for the first time?12:38
Keybukif you had one open as LANG=en_GB ... that is the process that'll open your new window12:38
Keybuk(compare gnome-terminal --disable-factory)12:39
KamionKeybuk: I started one, then immediately in that terminal ran 'LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gnome-terminal'. it did not work properly.12:39
Kamionxterm does.12:39
Keybukah, yes12:39
Keybukthat won't work12:39
mdzjdub: yes12:39
Kamionwhy on earth not?12:39
Keybukyou only have one gnome-terminal process12:39
Kamionoh, *that* crap12:39
Keybukthe one you ran with LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 just kicked the activation server to tell the running process to open a new window12:39
KamionI guess that explains it, but I think it's a fundamental misdesign12:40
Clintdoes that mean you can't have multiple tabs with different locales?12:40
KeybukClint: gnome-terminal --disable-factory on the one you want with different settings12:40
mdzsure you can12:40
mdzClint: you just have to set it after you open the terminal12:40
Keybukor indeed, different profiles with custom commands, etc.12:40
mdzrunning 'gnome-terminal' when there is only one open, opens a new window in the running gnome-terminal process (like mozilla)12:41
mdzwhich is actually quite nice, considering the amount of memory that gnome-terminal would require otherwise12:41
Clintso "LANG=en_GB.UTF8 gnome-terminal" could be made to work12:41
KeybukClint: "LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gnome-terminal --disable-factory"12:41
Keybukwill start a new gnome-terminal process12:42
mdzat the cost of some memory12:42
Kamionmdz: I tried changing the locale in a new tab, but it doesn't seem to display Unicode characters correctly when I do that12:42
Kamiontested with "printf '\xa3' | iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8"12:43
Kamionah, I have to use "Set Character Encoding"12:43
mdzKamion: hmm, I thought there was a profile setting for that, but I guess it sets it based on your locale when you start it12:43
mdzah, there it is12:43
Kamionthat's per-tab12:44
mdznot in the profile, but a menu12:44
Kamioncould probably put it in a profile I guess12:44
mdzKamion: any remaining external blockers for sounder 8?12:45
Kamionno, I'll release it once I reboot12:45
seb128Kamion: unset LANGUAGE && LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gnome-terminal ?12:48
seb128Kamion: LANGUAGE is read before LANG IIRC12:48
seb128(for GNOME stuff)12:49
Kamioncan't check now I'm afraid, I'll have a look next time12:49

jdubit's way fast01:46
Kamionthat'd be the one-liner find magic01:47
jdubfor the iso sorting, or the actual copying?01:47
KamionI was thinking of only copying Desktop and letting Base just install in the old way, since debootstrap is now fast on its own01:47
jdub(cd is running at a consistent speed)01:47
Kamionneither, the "get all the directories into the dentry cache first" change to cdrom-detect01:47
jduboh01:47
jdubniiiice01:47
jdubhaha01:48
jdubthat's rad01:48
Kamionthere's ISO sorting as well now but the cdrom-detect change was about an order of magnitude more effective by itself01:48
jduboh, you're copying shipseed too, interesting01:48
Kamionyeah, was unsure about that01:48
Kamioninclined to turn that off for the preview release01:48
=== jdub would lean towards not doing it

mdzalextreme: is it problematic to put 2.6.8.1 on it?01:54
mdzwe need as much testing for the new kernel as we can get01:54

Kamion00:53 < mdz> Kamion: cdrom-detect change?03:06
Kamionmdz: what exactly did your question mean? :)03:07
mdzKamion: you said that your cdrom-detect change had a larger effect on performance03:11
mdzKamion: is that where you did the find?03:11
Kamionyep03:11
Kamionmade sense to do it immediately after mounting the CD-ROM, and doing it there meant that it sped up the "loading installer components from CD" step03:12
Kamion(the latter's quite a noticeable improvement on my powerbook)03:12
mdzKamion: why is archive-copier a net speed loss?03:12
Kamionmdz: in the first stage03:12
Kamionmdz: you're doing more work, obviously it's a speed loss :)03:12
mdzoh, naturally03:12
KamionI think it's a net loss anyway, it's doing more I/O by copying to the hard disk03:13
Kamion500MB is non-trivial even on a disk03:13
Kamionand if you're reading the packages while installing them you probably get more benefit from I/O parallelization </handwave>03:14
mdzhard drive seeks are orders of magnitude faster, though03:14
mdzit'd be an interesting thing to measure03:14
Kamionsure, but that doesn't seem to be subjectively noticeable in the tests I've done03:14
mdzbut it's a better experience even if it is a net loss03:14
KamionI think we should copy only Desktop packages03:14
Kamionthat way we can do the better-experience thing but with less of a speed hit03:15
Kamioninstalling Base without archive-copier enabled seems pretty quick to me following the cdrom-detect change03:15
Kamionand if we copy less we'll have lower hard disk space requirements03:16

pittiokay, then we should grind the wheels to get that implemented09:25
sabdflwould it be more important to get that done, or fix rc bugs?09:26
jdubsabdfl: icons on the desktop does not imply dragging to the trash :)09:26
sabdfljdub: understood, nonetheless, we've already had this discussion for warty09:26
pittisabdfl: IMHO its quite important to have an obvious and safe unmounting possibility, but bug fixing is important as well. No precedence on my side09:27
jdubsabdfl: this is not important enough to write code or diverge for09:27
pittisabdfl: since I'm quite unfamiliar with gnome programming, I would rather concentrate on bug fixing and security review and have e.g. seb or npmccallum do this thing09:27
sabdflpitti: if mdz is happy for you to do this then fine by me, but i think the team as a whole should be rc-focused09:27
sabdflpitti: agreed, and seb needs to do other things first09:28
pittisabdfl: okay, then bugs get highest prio; I think it is not the end of the world if we don't manage this icon in time09:28
pittisabdfl: because now we can umount in the computer window, so at least there is _one_ possibility09:29

HrdwrBoBis ubuntu supposed to detect my scsi CDROM and load the drivers for it?11:36
debianistOskuro : that thing with the resolution happened to me also, though it was rather quick and slick fixing it using the screen resolution resizer11:41
Oskurodebianist: but is that remembered the next time you log in?11:48
Oskurodebianist: and doesn't work for all users I guess11:48
debianistOskuro : yes it does, for the other folks - it's ok to use the highest reolution possible, just make the virutal desktop use the same size :)11:50
debianistcan it be made to match virtual and physical desktop sizes?11:50
debianistfabbione : for serving the testing best, would you recommend testing a daily or the sounder 8 ?11:53
Mithrandirthey should be fairly equal today11:54

Mithrandirlamont: new version uploaded02:13
fabbioneah hummmm02:15
fabbionethom: there is another small problem.. base-config calls all the possible display managers with restart02:15
HrdwrBoBdaniels: heh, possibly, maybe if you put him in stasis02:16
Kamionfabbione: what's the problem with that? (bear with me, I missed it in scrollback)02:17
fabbioneKamion: the problem is that gdm restart inside X, kills X02:17
Kamionthat's not a problem for base-config though02:18
fabbioneKamion: so if you run base-config new inside X, even for testing.. it will kill you out02:18
fabbioneKamion: solution: fix gdm init script so that reload will load gdm if not running and change base-config to use relaod instead of restart02:18
Kamionfabbione: don't do that then :-)02:19
Kamionfabbione: I don't think this is a bug, really ...02:19
fabbionewell.. a user can run base-config inside X02:19
fabbioneand he doesn't know he will be kicked out as soon as gdm/whatever will restart02:20
fabbionei think it's a bug02:20
Kamionbase-config does all kinds of stuff, people who do 'base-config new' deserve whatever they get02:20
HrdwrBoBhow many users do you think would do that?02:20
Kamionreload02:20
Kamion    cause the configuration of the service to be reloaded without actually stopping and restarting the service,02:20
Kamionplease don't "fix" this, it really is a don't do that then02:21
fabbioneKamion: that's not what we are doing02:21
fabbioneKamion: i am not stopping the service02:21
Kamionbut you're restarting it02:21
fabbionei start it if it is not running02:21
fabbionenope02:21
Kamionrestarting includes starting02:21
fabbionerestart = stop -> start02:21
Kamionalso if you change this you have to change xdm and kdm (maybe wdm?) in universe too02:22
KamionI think you and I are the only people likely to run 'base-config new', and we should do so from outside X02:23
fabbionelet me check what xdm and kdm do02:23
UbuntuBoB*bing sounder 8 install time, tata02:23
KamionI really do not think this should change; 'base-config new' is fundamentally a dangerous thing to do on an existing system, and restarting X is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in that context02:24
fabbioneKamion: i don't remember if it was you. or someone else that told me: "never never never do any assumption"02:24
fabbione;)02:24
Kamionif users run it with new, they'll have much worse problems02:24
Kamionit wasn't me02:24
fabbione(or similar)02:24
fabbionei think it was you when were discussing the apt-setup thingy.. but it's not important anyway02:25
Kamionthe base-config man page says 'If this is a fresh install onto a new debian system, the program receives "new" as its first argument.'02:25
KamionI'd have no objection to extending that to say 'any other use is at your own risk and may do unexpected things to your system'02:25
fabbioneok the behaviour is consistent across login manager02:26
fabbionebut it still sucks02:26
fabbioneso i guess i will have to accept that it is a non bug02:26
KamionI'd also have no objection to base-config new crashing out if $DISPLAY, personally02:26
Kamionor, if you like, just guarding that bit of code with if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] 02:27
fabbioneKamion: if you run it as root (su -) DISPLAY is not set02:27
fabbioneso it would be almost a useless check02:27
Kamionremember we don't even support 'su -' by default in warty02:28
Kamionsudo preserves $DISPLAY by default; not useless in the least02:28

danielsWOO! I ROCK02:32
Kamionsure, yeah02:32
Kamionmaybe do it in lib/menu/apt-setup instead?02:32
danielsfabbione: ok, we're eliminating the top resolution completely now02:33
fabbionedaniels: yes.. and i am santa02:33

fabbionethom: true ...02:33
fabbioneehhee02:33
Kamionit doesn't feel quite right somehow though02:33
fabbioneKamion: no i was thinking that apt-setup (menu) accept the new option.02:34
Kamioncould also grep to see if it's already there and if so leave it out02:34
fabbioneKamion: i can just talk to apt-setup via TMPFILE02:34

Kamionwell, in general anyway04:42
=== daniels throws a bucket of cocks at Jrg Schilling.

jame1I need a little more grub help, guys. I told the installer to install grub to /dev/hdg1. I've setup lilo on the other OS on the box to have an entry like this:04:47
jame1other=/dev/hdg104:47
jame1        label="ubuntu"04:47

fabbioneKamion: ?06:22
Kamionfabbione: (largely, anyway) - because debian-cd has started to include /dists/warty/restricted/ now and restricted is in /dists/warty/Release06:22
Kamionso it all happens automatically06:23
fabbionemdz: security is enabled automatically if you are connected to the network, otherwise it is added but commented.06:23

fabbionemdz: but not for main/restricted/universe06:23

Kamionmdz: I'd like that to happen soon if it's going to happen so that I can shake out any bugs in debian-cd it exposes06:24

mdzsabdfl: question: should users installing from CD have access, by default, to all of warty/main via http by default?06:36
sabdflyes absolutely06:36
mdzI agree06:36
sabdflso the default sources.list should not refer to the cd, just the web site06:36
lamontsabdfl: and should there initial install fetch newer bits from the net if they're there, or just install from CD?06:37
sabdflmain and restricted06:37
fabbionesabdfl: also for people installing from a modem?06:37
mdz_not_ the CD?  that would defeat the point of ShipSeed06:37
mdzI do not think that the initial install should download anything for a CD install06:37
sabdflmdz: it's copied into their cache already, isn't it?06:37
mdzhowever, after the install is complete, all of Supported should be available06:37
mdzsabdfl: hmm, good point06:37
fabbionesabdfl: not necessarely.. if we add the http stuff no...06:38
sabdflfabbione: it would be nice to have the "fetch latest updates" as an option during the install06:38
fabbionesabdfl: option = question?06:38
sabdflin fact, that could happen during the Great Copy, couldn't it?06:38
sabdflfabbione: would have to be06:38
Kamionsabdfl: the cdrom: URI needs to be in sources.list otherwise the cached copies don't work06:39
mdzKamion: they should work fine for http as well06:39
sabdflah, so they are "caches of the cdrom packages"06:39
Kamionsabdfl: I ran into this just yesterday06:39
sabdflok06:39
Kamionmdz: only if you can contact it, though ...06:39
sabdflwill it always prompt for the cd then?06:39
Kamionit's more complicated to get rid of the cdrom: URI and it's not necessary06:39
mdzKamion: we already agree that we should only uncomment it if it can be contacted06:39
fabbionesabdfl: as it is now after the install we suggest the http lines for main/restriced and universe as we agreed via email and we force security updates06:39
Kamionsabdfl: no06:39
Kamionsabdfl: basically we do an update from the cdrom before reboot, and that sets up apt's database post-reboot properly06:40
mdzas it is now, if you uncomment main, then it will still always prompt for the CD if the package was on the CD06:40
mdzwhich is in many situations much less convenient than downloading06:40
Kamionmdz: oh, I see. really?06:40
KamionI'd *much* rather have the CD06:40
mdzKamion: it goes roughly in sources.list order, first-match06:40
mdzoh, that06:40
Kamionmdz: we could always put http: above cdrom: ...06:40
mdzwhen I finish installing, I put the CD away06:41
mdzusually I want to grab something small06:41
mdzwhich takes 5 seconds via network06:41
mdzand much longer for me to go get the CD and put it in the drive06:41
Kamionmdz: then the ship seed is entirely pointless06:41
sabdflwhat about creating a repository on the hdd... i suppose that's a space issue06:41
mdzKamion: my concept of ShipSeed was to have things close by that you might need to get on the network and such06:41
sabdflgetting the cd is a right pain. imagine a year later...06:41
fabbionesabdfl: that's more complicate yes..06:41
Kamionsabdfl: yeah, also an automatic cleaning issue, using /var/cache/apt/archives means that 'apt-get clean' gets rid of it06:41
Kamionmdz: shipseed has stuff like alternate browsers at the moment06:42
Kamionsabdfl: I wasn't suggesting making the CD mandatory, merely usable ...06:42
mdzKamion: those are huge; if the user really wants them, they might be grateful to have them on the CD06:42
mdzI'm not sure we can remove the cdrom: line without putting low-bandwidth users in a bad position06:42
fabbionemdz, sabdfl: switching apt lines after the install means creating another hook for base-config or a deep modification to apt-setup...06:42
Kamionmdz: but they won't be able to if the cdrom: URI is zapped06:42
sabdflKamion: how are we for cd size at the moment?06:42
Kamionsabdfl: 'bout 100MB short of the wall06:43

sabdflif we created an apt repository on the hard disc, then that would take up an extra 600MB of space, but you'd never need the cd again06:44

mdzKamion:    * Install S33framebuffer-module-linux-i386 on amd64 too06:44
mdzKamion: is that the only reason the framebuffer didn't work for me on amd64?06:44
mdz(potentially)06:44
thommdz: that was the thought06:44
Kamionsabdfl: and there's a debootstrap deficiency that means it'll probably actually be 1.2GB extra during the install06:44
mdzI think the /var/cache/apt/archives approach is the right one06:44
sabdflah06:44
Kamionmdz: in theory, can't test yet :)06:45
fabbionesabdfl: our installation is already big enough...06:45
mdzthough we should probably clean out the stuff we actually _installed_ already06:45
Kamionmdz: agreed06:45
Kamionsabdfl: I was thinking of making archive-copier not bother to copy Base (since with the cdrom-detect change, debootstrap is now pretty fast by itself)06:45
sabdflhmmm... so in an ideal world, we'd have the desktop stuff copied to cache, which you can remove instantly, and the ship.seed stuff copied to a mini-repo06:46
Kamioncopying Desktop is clearly necessary to make the no-CD-in-second-stage work06:46
mdzbut we're straying from the important issue, I think, which is that users with Internet access should, by default, have access to all of Supported06:46
sabdflKamion: agreed06:46
Kamionthat leaves the question of Ship06:46
mdzwhen they fire up aptitude and synaptic and look for an application, they should find it06:46
mdzif we had the infrastructure to warn them about unsupported packages, I'd say universe should be added by default as well06:46
sabdflthe effect we want, the use case, is:06:46
sabdfl(a) install with CD, it pops out.06:46
sabdfl(b) throw away the CD06:46
mdzsabdfl: nono, (b) give the CD to a friend :-)06:47

sabdfl(c) install anything that was on it (in ship.seed) without needing the cd06:47
mdzKamion: yes06:47
sabdfl(d) and anything newer, or outshide desktop+ship, comes over http06:47
mdzsabdfl: ok, currently that doesn't actually work06:47

Kamionmdz: if we turned off base-config's cache-cleaning, that would be fine ...06:48
mdzapt doesn't look in the cache for stuff it expects to find on cdrom06:48
mdzcdrom is already 'local'06:48
mdz(I think)06:48
mdzKamion: oh, I didn't realize we were still cleaning the cahce06:48
mdzso I haven't actually tested it06:48
Kamionthe mini-repo for Ship would only be 100MB or so, which is not so bad06:48
fabbionemdz: today's crack didn't ask me for a CD and everything was copied in cache06:48
Kamionmdz: after aptitude -y install blahrant runs, yes06:48
mdzfabbione: yes, but then it's all deleted afterward06:49
mdzhmm, I wonder if aptitude diverges there06:49
Kamiondiverges?06:49
mdzI'm going to test it right now06:50
mdzKamion: aptitude reimplements significant pieces of apt06:50
Kamionso, we could have archive-copier create /var/cache/archive-copier/desktop/ and /var/cache/archive-copier/ship/06:50
debianistmdz : aptitude is better than apt, right?06:50
Kamionwhen base-config runs, it moves /var/cache/archive-copier/desktop/ into /var/cache/apt/archives/ and then something sticks /var/cache/archive-copier/ship/ into sources.list06:50
mdzdebianist: aptitude is a frontend to apt06:50
mdzok, so the cache thing does in fact work06:50
mdzit will look in the cache for cdrom: sources06:51
Kamionmind you, I'm a bit leery of having sources.list refer to anything in /var/cache/06:51
mdz(both apt-get and aptitude)06:51
Kamionmdz: what does apt do if a file: URI disappears? does apt-get update fail?06:51
mdzKamion: yeah, that wouldn't be right. apt gets unhappy if it disappears06:51
mdzapt-get update would fail, yes06:51
Kamionok. it would be nice to have something which can kill that archive on demand, though06:51
Kamionapt-setup feels like kinda the right place but we're overloading it already ...06:52
fabbioneKamion: if stuff needs to be done AFTER the first install apt-setup is not the place to look at.06:52
Kamionmdz: /var/lib/?06:52
mdzwhat can we do about the ftp.no-name-yet.com issue?  we can either do it in apt-setup, which has the problem that the install may take a very long time, or we can do it later, which means adding a new base-config bit, right?06:53
Kamionfabbione: this is a reconfigure thing06:53
fabbioneKamion: we will need another "hook" for base-config or something06:53
Kamionfabbione: it's acceptable to run apt-setup after the install; it's got a man page and everything06:53
=== lamont would like to appologize to anyone subscribed to the BuilddStatus page.
fabbioneKamion: it will require a switch or something in any case = extra diversion from Debian06:53
Kamionand there isn't really any other tool that munges sources.list, apart from dselect's configurator, unless there's something in synaptic06:54
Kamionfabbione: well, it would have to be a menu item; but it's true that apt-setup doesn't ever remove sources.list entries at the moment06:54
Kamionok, I suppose we could be overanalysing this, we could just say to people "if you want to get that space back, rm -rf /var/lib/ubuntu/ship/ [or whatever]  and edit the line out of sources.list"06:55
Kamionremembering that it is warty06:55
fabbioneKamion: exactly and it does comment out the old ones only when called via menu/apt-setup new06:56
fabbionethat doesn't make anything easier06:56
Kamionmdz: the second stage already takes a long time; I'm not sure that it's a problem to have "downloading <foo> from security.no-name-yet.com" show up there06:56
Kamionfabbione: it's not easier, but it works :-)06:56
fabbioneKamion: well.. it removes ALL of them ;)06:57
Kamionmdz: gives people "secure by default" warm fuzzies, contrasted with the Windows approach of "install system then get on the net as fast as you can to download updates before your system is cracked"06:57
fabbionewell...06:58
fabbionei need to go and prepare dinner06:58
fabbionelater (hopefully)06:59
Kamionalso, we'll be releasing update CDs fairly frequently as I understand it, so it shouldn't get too bad provided you have a recent CD (which, granted, is not going to be everyone)06:59
fabbione(otherwise it means that i will be doomed by something i don't want to do)06:59

=== lamont unthrottles his mirror so that he can build/test abiword... sigh
lamont350kbps isn't _bad_, but then it's not great..:-(09:42
mdzlamont: I don't understand why a local mirror is necessary in order to build and test abiword09:44
lamontmdz: it's not, but the bits come just as fast - since I'm only mirroring what's currently needed/missing09:45
lamontthe benefit of the mirror is that I can snarf bits at 20kbps all day long and not pay for it, having the bits there when I need them.  Fetching as needed would kill my bandwidth bill09:46
lamont(I just did an apt-get -udy build-dep abiword and cut/edited the 'failed to fetch' list to be the debs I need, and have the rsync going unthrottled.)09:47
lamontonce that's started, I'll throttle it back down to something affordable, and let it spend the afternoon catching up...09:47
lamontOTOH, I'm fetching large parts of X, which is the bulk of what's out of date in the mirror...09:47
lamontdamn X09:47
mdzabiword should build just as well with the last 10 versions of X as with the current one09:48

lamontbuild running now, fwiw09:50
lamontand only 42 packages out of date in the mirror now...  almost entirely X packages not needed by abiword's build09:51
lamontwhere the issue really creeps in is (1) the mirror is constantly updating, and (2) I optimized it for my partial (what I need for chroot-sid to upload debian packages), and caused it to skip a few things.  Noticed that this morning trying to fetch base-config, and fixed it.  But it was behind on warty mirring as a result.09:52

lamontmdz: is there any way to get apt to be more verbose about it's decision that a package is not installable?10:29
diemani need to put some bugs in on the remote desktops tuff10:29
diemanit does not like xinerama10:29
diemanperiod10:29
mdzlamont: it tells you the immediate cause; for the nontrivial case it typically says that it's because of something else that is "not going to be installed", in which case you try to install that thing to see why, etc.10:33
lamontmdz: re 1066 - media removal part (and indeed the rest of the burning) works as root.  eliminating the error (just print and continue) for mortals just lets them get one step further before they die.10:34
lamontmdz: 27065310:34
mdzlamont: ok, so the bug is not that media removal no longer works as non-root, the rest of the process doesn't either10:34
mdzseb128: ping?10:35
lamontmdz: right.  The inital write fails, IIRC.10:35
lamontbasically, the mortal has no access to the device10:36
lamonteffectively, that is.10:36
mdzthey do have read access10:40
lamontbut write access is gone, despite perms.10:41
lamontwhich leads one to expect that something is happenign that needs roots loving before the first write tries to happen..10:42
thomit's a shame that we didn't declare dbus/hal to be part of the gnome feature goal :-)10:44

debianistmdz : d-i suggests a small /boot partition for grub, otherwise it says it'd fail. why not having something automagically to compute the size ?10:54
debianistmdz : when trying JFS10:54
mdzdebianist: JFS is not recommended for root for that reason; it displays a warning10:55
debianistmdz : it asks you manually to do that. or maybe the layman should not be tamper with JFS?10:55
mdzit's a corner case that we don't need to optimize for10:55
debianistmdz : k10:55
debianistmdz : reizerfs install was sweet :)10:55
mdzthanks10:56
debianistmdz : how'd make it so fast? (bootup,shutdown,install)10:56
kikomdz, btw, the new bootup is significantly faster on this notebook.10:57
mdzkiko: we optimized a few things10:57
mdzjust recently I rewrote a bit of hotplug which saved me about 4 seconds on boot10:57
kikoin perl, too. :)10:57
mdzI had no choice :-P10:58
debianistperl? hotplug is in c...10:58

debianistthis patches would reach debian eventually? 10:58
debianiststrange, seems there is no app to handle pdfs10:58
mdzdebianist: er, no, hotplug is a bunch of shell scripts10:59
mdzwhich is why it was so slow in the first place10:59
debianistso perl did it faster?11:00
debianistor did you compailed it natively afterwards?11:00
mdzit was faster to call out to perl for this specific bit of work than to do it in shell11:05
diemanis there a db for laptop support?11:09
diemanive got a prof with a d600 that i might put ubuntu on if i have to, he wants suspend really bad11:09
thomno, we've been talking about doing such a thing tho11:09
diemangod11:11
diemanthis d600 website is talking about a pile of patches to 2.6.8.1 to get acpi working right11:11
thomwe'd love to know if it works :-) seriously though, we're shipping 2.6.8.1 with current acpi patches, so if it works at all in linux it'll work with us11:12
diemanhmm11:12
diemani should try it then11:12
diemanyeah, if you already have the acpi patches..11:13
diemani think that sucker had a broken dsdt too11:13
thomjoy11:13
thomwell, i think jdub has bought a dell laptop11:13
thomso there might be some synergy there :-011:14
diemanoh no11:14
diemanthey fixed it in a recent bios11:14
diemanA12 now has a fixed DSDT11:14

carlosseb128: thanks, it works11:38
carlosbut why was it changed ?11:38
seb128<chpe> networksolutions sucks! isn't ssl2, like, insecure ?11:39
seb128<chpe> crispin: didn't you want to find a site still using ssl2 ? :)11:39
seb128<chpe> I wonder if we should re-enable it by default11:39
seb128<chpe> don't they offer v3 or tls ?11:39

carlosthom: I didn't know that11:40
carlosdinner time, later!!11:42
mdzseb128: is there currently a way to suppress a menu entry without deleting the .desktop file?11:42
=== lamont finds himself in a twisty maze of autocrap
seb128mdz: there is a ShowSomething option for the desktop files yes11:42
seb128but I'm not sure that's currently supported ... should check with jdub 11:43
seb128he looked on this11:43
seb128why ?11:43
mdzis there an example in Ubuntu?  I have been looking11:43
mdzI was considering some changes and wanted to test them out11:43
seb128for a quick test, just removing Application from the Categories= should work :)11:44
mdzheh, thanks11:46
