| debianist | am gonna open a bug - /dev/dsp never works under rythmbox and there is no sound perior to to running alsamixer. i don't expect the layman to open alsamixer under a terminal | 12:02 |
|---|---|---|
| bdale | mdz: you maintain the zaptel and asterisk packaging? | 12:02 |
| debianist | after first install reboot | 12:02 |
| mdz | bdale: I used to | 12:02 |
| mdz | bdale: zaptel anyway | 12:02 |
| mdz | bdale: I maintained an asterisk/zaptel-based PBX at my previous job; I no longer have the relevant hardware and the packages need a new maintainer | 12:03 |
| debianist | mdz : do you have any lead on this? | 12:04 |
| bdale | mdz: I just picked up a digium developer's kit to play with (pci card with one each fxo and fxs daughter cards), and was a bit underwhelmed by what's in /usr/share/doc/<blah>, but will defer being annoying about it for now. | 12:04 |
| mdz | bdale: wnpp #251938 | 12:04 |
| mdz | debianist: I don't understand the problem. is this the issue where the volume is muted and/or set to a low value initially? | 12:04 |
| jdub | mdz: just delete the who categories line (to make menu entries disappear) | 12:05 |
| bdale | mdz: thanks for the pointer, I'll prod Mark | 12:05 |
| mdz | bdale: there's a #asterisk or similar somewhere | 12:06 |
| mdz | the lead upstream developer is also Mark | 12:06 |
| thom | mdz: yes, that's the alsamixer issue | 12:09 |
| mjg59 | bdale: Heh. I'm getting complaints from people with Compaqs that won't work with their wireless cards now | 12:11 |
| seb128 | jdub: morning | 12:11 |
| bdale | mdz: right. email sent. | 12:14 |
| bdale | mdz: fwiw, the kit I bought came with a floppy containing a set of config files for playing with this board set as delivered, and a script with associated README for doing an install from CVS that includes Debian-specific info in the README about build dependencies, but the script's automatic checker still only does RH/Mandrake. Still, it felt less Debian-hostile out of the box than a lot of things do. ;-) | 12:14 |
| bdale | mjg59: these are folks putting different minipci cards into notebooks? | 12:14 |

| debianist | mdz : rythmbox says /dev/dsp doesn't exist | 12:26 |
| kiko | debianist, missing sound driver module? | 12:28 |
| bdale | mdz: I've sent email, maybe I'll be able to make an impression on them. actually, packaging an installer based on the script included in this development kit might not be an unreasoanble thing to do. worth pondering. | 12:30 |
| bdale | mjg59: my suspicion is that it's going to be hard to get the notebook folks to care a lot about this, but I could be wrong. | 12:30 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, I can imagine | 12:31 |
| Mithrandir | bdale: may I whine a bit at you? About HP and Linux non-support for scanners? | 12:36 |
| bdale | Mithrandir: sure. it's a topic I like to whine about too. the fundamental problem is that HP has OEM'ed a bunch of scanner stuff that we don't own all the IP for, which means some scanners are well supported and some aren't. | 12:37 |
| Mithrandir | seems like the current cheap-ish range of them aren't supported. | 12:38 |
| bdale | Mithrandir: I had a chance to poke at management in the right part of the company about a month ago. They "understand the issue" but I don't have a completely clear picture about if/when the situation might change. | 12:38 |
| Mithrandir | that _really_ sucks, especially given that you've had _excellent_ driver support for a wide range of OS-es in the future -- I wouldn't be surprised if I could find a word perfect 5.1 driver for a laserjeg 4100TN | 12:38 |
| Mithrandir | laserjet, even. | 12:38 |
| Mithrandir | I really like your scanner and printer stuff, but if it doesn't work with linux, well, at least for scanners, we have canon. ;) | 12:39 |
| Mithrandir | so please continue poking :) | 12:39 |
| bdale | Mithrandir: I will. meanwhile, I strongly suggest checking the SANE web site's list of supported devices before making purchases, regardless of the vendor in question. | 12:40 |
| Mithrandir | yup, that's what I've been looking at. | 12:40 |
| mdz | I received a scanjet 3500C as a gift that I need to unload because of a lack of driver support | 12:40 |
| === bdale suggests eBay | ||
| === jdub suggests cousins | ||
| Mithrandir | bdale: it must be sad to give such advice. :( | 12:41 |
| bdale | I keep my 5p for exactly this reason... it's a SCSI attached scanner that has excellant driver support. | 12:41 |
| === kiko suggests bonfire | ||
| === HcE_ [~hc@66.80-202-212.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bdale | Mithrandir: well, yes. on the other hand, some Windows user will probably really enjoy it. | 12:42 |
| bdale | I actually haven't tried using my PSC-950 as a scanner while it's attached to a Linux system, but supposedly the hpoj stuff supports scanning with it. I should try that sometime. The printer/scanner/copier/fax widgets are pretty cool overall. | 12:43 |
| mdz | bdale: hah, I have the same one | 12:43 |
| mdz | I was hoping to replace it with a USB model because SCSI was getting terribly inconvenient | 12:43 |
| mdz | at least some of the PSC models are reported to work quite well under Linux | 12:44 |
| bdale | mdz: truly. my notebook supports USB 2.0, so that's become highly desirable as an interface for me personally. | 12:44 |
| bdale | mdz: yeah, printing on the PSC-950 from CUPS just works, and it hotplugs just fine | 12:44 |
| === HcE_ is now known as HcE | ||
| mdz | bdale: I keep my computers in the closet and extend peripherals to my desktop via USB; it works quite nicely except that I still have a parallel printer (which requires another cable) and a SCSI scanner (which collects dust) | 12:45 |
| bdale | mdz: heh, my scanner mostly collects dust too. I use it maybe 3 times a year. | 12:46 |
| mdz | I would use it much more if it weren't such a pain to hook up; I prefer to scan documents rather than trying to maintain a physical filing system | 12:46 |
| mdz | some of the pins got bent on the cable I was using | 12:47 |
| bdale | however, I was reading up on how to get from paper to pdf the other night (sane scan pages in lineart 300dpi mode, then just give the set to convert seems to be the recipe) since I have some old machinery manuals in bad shape that I want to preserve the content from before they completely fall apart | 12:47 |
| mdz | and a new SCSI cable of the appropriate configuration would cost almost as much as a USB scanner | 12:47 |
| bdale | mdz: ick | 12:47 |
| mdz | bdale: but of course, I won't buy one of those, because I already have one I can't use and need to get rid of :-) | 12:48 |
| mdz | I've never sold anything on ebay, but I suppose I need to learn about that | 12:48 |
| mdz | scanjet 3500c seems to be going for all of $20, yuck | 12:49 |
| Kamion | debianist: re #1071, dude, I do not own a time machine and therefore cannot retrospectively fix bugs in software I'd already released | 12:50 |

| mdz | Uclintu: what does dvdauthor do? | 12:53 |
| Uclintu | mdz: it seems to allow me to slap a bunch of mpegs together in a format suitable for writing with growisofs | 12:54 |
| mdz | I thought dvd+rw-tools had bits to do that | 12:55 |

| whiprush | daniels: you missed the whole slashdot thing for your intervie while you were gone. heh. | 05:55 |
| daniels | whiprush: heh, I caught up on that a couple of days later | 05:56 |
| whiprush | your fdo thing for the kde conference was sweet, btw, from what I saw from the fluendo coverage. | 05:57 |
| whiprush | that second dude asking questions was gunning for you, heh. | 05:57 |
| daniels | heh :) | 06:01 |
| daniels | yeah, the small dude was aseigo | 06:01 |
| daniels | martin konold was being a dick, though | 06:01 |

| jdub_ | no ap | 06:09 |
| mdz | fabbione: didn't I? | 06:12 |
| fabbione | mdz: i don't see any answer in my inbox | 06:12 |
| fabbione | you approved lvm2 and it is done | 06:13 |
| mdz | I must have confused the two | 06:13 |

| fabbione | thanks :-) | 06:13 |

| jdub_ | it's not grokking my ap | 06:16 |
| jdub_ | hrm | 06:16 |
| whiprush | will there be a sounder 9 prior to the public release? Or should I test 8? | 06:16 |
| whiprush | I missed it by a few days | 06:16 |
| jdub_ | grab 8, or a daily | 06:19 |
| whiprush | k | 06:19 |

| jdub_ | upgrading via some random network | 06:20 |
| jdub_ | not my own! gar! | 06:20 |
| whiprush | I'm wondering how people are going to handle the sudo thing. It certainly demolished all my bad habits. | 06:20 |
| jdub_ | mdz: approx how long does it take you to do i386 and ppc installs? | 06:22 |
| mdz | jdub_: not long, why? | 06:22 |
| mdz | whiprush: I think the current daily is no good | 06:22 |
| mdz | sounder 8 is probably your best bet | 06:22 |
| whiprush | ok. | 06:22 |
| mdz | it has a couple of known issues, but nothing an apt-get upgrade won't fix | 06:23 |
| whiprush | k | 06:23 |
| mdz | Colin's announcement to the sounder mailing list describes them | 06:23 |
| whiprush | the sources.list still point to the cd, or do I need to update it manually? | 06:23 |
| jdub_ | mdz: i need times :) | 06:24 |
| mdz | jdub_: I'll time it the next time I go through | 06:24 |
| mdz | remind me | 06:24 |
| jdub_ | ok | 06:24 |
| whiprush | ok, I'll redo the laptop install, I doubt there will be any major problems, but I'll report to the list anyway. | 06:24 |

| jdub_ | whoa | 06:32 |
| jdub_ | this is fast | 06:32 |
| mdz | your laptop? | 06:33 |
| jdub_ | yeah | 06:33 |
| Riff | is this the dell-crack300? | 06:33 |
| jdub_ | yeah | 06:33 |
| Riff | well, it's gotta be faster then the toilet seat, hasn't it? | 06:33 |
| jdub_ | it's only a 1.4GHz centrino | 06:34 |
| jdub_ | but blammy fucking faster than willow | 06:34 |
| Riff | with 1MB of fucking cache | 06:34 |
| Riff | let's just cover that again... | 06:34 |
| Riff | 1MB of fucking cache! | 06:34 |
| Riff | of course it's fast | 06:34 |
| Riff | how much cache do I have? | 06:35 |
| Riff | [davyd@pingu ~] $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cache size" | 06:35 |
| Riff | cache size : 512 KB | 06:35 |
| Riff | the new 2gig centrinos have 2MB as well | 06:35 |
| Riff | so not only is that faster then this CPU, it has 4 times the fucking cache | 06:35 |
| whiprush | the dothans do, they go as low as 1.2 ghz, with the 2mb cache. | 06:35 |
| === Riff continues to be bitter | ||
| Riff | whiprush: I didn't know they went that low | 06:35 |
| Riff | I've only seen 2gig versions | 06:35 |
| daniels | your machine is called pingu? that's so rad. | 06:35 |
| whiprush | yeah, it's sick. | 06:35 |
| daniels | Riff: you just made my day :) | 06:36 |
| Riff | daniels: stephanie's is called pinga | 06:36 |
| whiprush | Riff: the wattage difference from the banias centrino's is significant also. I've seen 20%+ improvement in battery life with the new chips. | 06:37 |
| Riff | whiprush: now if only someone would manufacture a new laptop I want to buy | 06:37 |
| Keybuk | the P-M is a sweet processor as well | 06:37 |
| Keybuk | it massively outperforms the P-3 and P-4 | 06:37 |
| Riff | Keybuk: could this be anything to do with it's 1MB OF CACHE!!?!?!?! | 06:38 |
| Keybuk | Riff: it's also because it wasn't designed by Intel Marketing | 06:38 |
| daniels | Riff: have you heard elmo's favourite song? | 06:38 |
| Riff | and the fact it's pipeline isn't 4 quadzillion instructions long | 06:38 |
| whiprush | Riff: yeah I'm waiting for fujitsu to put them in their P series. | 06:38 |
| Keybuk | the P-4 was basically a "<Marketing> we want you to double the clock speed" ... "<Engineers> ok, we'll cheat, and double the pipeline length" | 06:38 |
| Riff | whiprush: I haven't looked at Fujitsu laptops, are they any good? | 06:38 |
| Keybuk | P-M uses most of its cache for instruction window and ROB stuff | 06:39 |
| Riff | daniels: undoubtedly, as Stephanie is a muppets fanatic | 06:39 |
| whiprush | the P series is fantastic. Their battert life easily tops 10 hours. | 06:39 |
| Riff | however, you may have to remind me | 06:39 |
| Keybuk | 1MB is kinda useful for that :) especially with it's branch prediction magic | 06:39 |
| Riff | I was looking at an IBM X40, except that it doesn't have a synaptic touchpad | 06:39 |
| Keybuk | Riff: yeah, that's why I didn't buy one | 06:39 |
| Riff | which I found offensive to my delicate nature | 06:39 |
| Keybuk | they're also a bit under-specced for the price | 06:39 |
| whiprush | My current dell laptop has a P4-M, which is an atrocious chip, thing heats up like the sun and lasts 3 hours with dual batteries. Weight is about ... 10 pounds. :( | 06:40 |
| Riff | that's just IBM | 06:40 |
| Keybuk | 1.2Ghz instead of 1.6 or 1.7 | 06:40 |
| Keybuk | whiprush: you mean a P-M ... there isn't a P4-M | 06:40 |
| Keybuk | or a P-4 ? | 06:40 |
| Riff | Keybuk: sure there is | 06:40 |
| Riff | I have one in here | 06:40 |
| whiprush | there was a Pentium 4-M. | 06:40 |
| lamont | jdub: so what's the debugging artwork picture of? | 06:40 |
| jdub_ | lamont: the background? | 06:40 |
| Keybuk | ugh, that sounds like a marketing name | 06:40 |
| whiprush | it was a horrible chip. | 06:40 |
| Riff | the sticker clearly says Pentium-4M | 06:40 |
| lamont | you tell me a street and I'm gonna scream | 06:40 |
| jdub_ | lamont: a road and the sky | 06:40 |
| Riff | Keybuk: I think it has extra speedstep crack | 06:40 |
| Keybuk | ah, that'd figure | 06:41 |
| lamont | was wondering if that was your house or something... :-) | 06:41 |
| whiprush | It's a P4 with half the cache and speedstep. Horrible. | 06:41 |
| jdub_ | lamont: it's actually a garrett le sage photo, from the USA somewhere :) | 06:41 |
| lamont | ah, ok | 06:41 |
| lamont | finally had few enough windows on the screen to notice it. | 06:41 |
| Keybuk | quite why you'd put speedstep in a Netburst processor is just silly | 06:41 |
| Keybuk | "we'll scale down the speed of a processor designed specifically to fake faster clock speeds" | 06:42 |
| whiprush | You're telling me ... it's a menace. Can barely tolerate it on the lap with the heat. | 06:42 |
| whiprush | The newer dell's with the P-M's however, are sweet. The 2Ghz one will hang with any desktop chip. | 06:43 |
| whiprush | HP's new blade servers use P-M's, totally sweet. | 06:43 |
| Keybuk | well, the fact a 2Ghz P-M performs like a 3+Ghz P-4 helps | 06:43 |
| jdub_ | thom: DUDE! I HAVE THE BEST BUG FOR YOU! | 06:44 |
| lifeless | run away | 06:44 |
| whiprush | the 1.0 thru 1.4 dothan's are ultra-low-voltage too, perfect laptop stuff, run great, and the fan doesn't even kick on. | 06:44 |
| Riff | so you're telling me I can get a 1.4 gig P-M with 2MB of cache | 06:45 |
| Keybuk | I can generally keep my laptop on my lap, only big compiles warm it up ... and then the extra fan comes on and my legs are happy again | 06:45 |
| Riff | and it will suck no power, and generally rock my world? | 06:45 |
| lamont | doko about? | 06:45 |
| whiprush | well, the chip is out, wether the mfg's are shipping them yet is another thing. | 06:45 |
| whiprush | dell for sure is shipping them | 06:45 |
| Riff | I don't much care of Dell | 06:45 |
| whiprush | And certain IBM's also. But it depends on how you pick stuff on their website. | 06:46 |
| jdub_ | so | 06:46 |
| jdub_ | i have the battery module loaded | 06:46 |
| jdub_ | and there's nothing in /proc/acpi/battery/ | 06:46 |

| jdub_ | with one battery in the docking station | 06:47 |
| jdub_ | and one battery in the laptop | 06:47 |
| Keybuk | Riff: HP are only shipping the nc4010 with 1.7 1MB cache at the moment | 06:47 |
| jdub_ | whiprush: that's what i'm typing on now, but i just got a new lappy today | 06:47 |
| whiprush | oh, nice. | 06:47 |
| whiprush | I'm looking for a new laptop myself, I really want a 15" powerbook, but I hear the ppc support for non-free codecs is kind of crap. | 06:49 |

| daniels | nice screen, too | 06:56 |
| Keybuk | wait for the T700, it's rumoured to be sex itself | 06:58 |
| whiprush | hey edd I dug your ifolder blog entry. One could almost get away with packinging it in experimental. *cough* | 07:00 |
| edd | whiprush: heh. i think it's a little too buggy right now. but it wouldn't harm to play with the packaging | 07:01 |
| whiprush | http://www.whiprush.org/2004/08/edd_dumbill_loo.html <--- I did my own thing but I don't think your blog does trackbacks. | 07:02 |
| whiprush | it works great expect for the "sync when I feel like it" part. heh. | 07:02 |
| daniels | Keybuk: probably $bling when it comes out here, though | 07:03 |
| daniels | Keybuk: the k700i is a mere $au700 outright (not simlocked), and that's the exact same as the t630 | 07:03 |
| Keybuk | ouch | 07:04 |

| edd | daniels: walk to the nearest market and pay a few quid for them to unlock it | 07:09 |
| daniels | ber | 07:09 |
| Keybuk | was someone's guess at what it would look like | 07:10 |
| daniels | the k700i was effectively free, anywya | 07:11 |

| pitti | tvon: what do you mean in particular? | 08:00 |
| tvon | pitti: ah, not very clear was I? I'm talking about desktop icons and automounting. I popped a CF card into my laptop and there were some log messages but no mounting or icons. | 08:03 |
| tvon | I know there is a thread on the list about this stuff but I wasn't sure what was "supposed" to be happening with the current setup | 08:04 |
| daniels | hah! found someone with 18 active uids in his gpg key; i'm not the worst. | 08:11 |
| jdub_ | so i don't know what this means, but supposedly i need a new dsdt | 08:11 |
| jdub_ | which i have | 08:11 |
| jdub_ | but then i need some compiler | 08:11 |
| jdub_ | from intel, which i can't build | 08:11 |
| jdub_ | and then i need to rebuild my kernel | 08:11 |
| jdub_ | which i swore i would not do when using ubuntu | 08:12 |
| jamesh | dsdt? | 08:12 |
| jdub_ | some acpi thing | 08:12 |
| fabbione | mdz: so what is the consensum about apt lines? | 08:15 |
| mdz | fabbione: my feeling is that security and warty-via-network should be treated the same | 08:16 |
| Riff | jdub_: yeah, the DSDT is the map of ACPI thingoes you get from the bios | 08:16 |
| Riff | so the kernel knows where to look for things | 08:17 |
| mdz | jdub_: why do you need a compiler for that? | 08:17 |
| Riff | you should just be able to patch your kernel and compile with gcc | 08:17 |
| jdub_ | there's some intel iasl special acpi compiler thingy | 08:17 |
| Riff | hmm | 08:17 |
| mdz | jdub_: they don't just give you a binary blob? | 08:17 |
| Riff | jdub_: grahame bowland just did some stuff with this | 08:17 |
| Riff | for his laptop | 08:17 |
| pitti | tvon: actually it should automatically mount the device (see Computer window), and (unless you disabled it) a Nautilus window with the Card's contents should pop up | 08:17 |
| Riff | mail grahame@angrygoats.net | 08:17 |
| jdub_ | most of the ones on acpi.sf.net are not blobs | 08:17 |
| Riff | he should know what to do | 08:18 |
| tvon | hrm | 08:18 |
| pitti | tvon: I would be interested in debugging this. | 08:18 |
| pitti | tvon: does the device appear in the Device Manager? | 08:18 |
| pitti | tvon: (i. e. in hal-device-manager) | 08:18 |
| tvon | one min | 08:18 |
| fabbione | mdz: ok.. i will see how complex it is to do something cool.. | 08:18 |

| fabbione | brb | 08:19 |
| mdz | fabbione: Mark and I agree that supported should be made available if there is a network, even if we are doing a CD install | 08:20 |
| fabbione | mdz: ok... fine by me.. i will do the changes today | 08:21 |
| tvon | hal keeps crappping out it seems | 08:21 |
| mdz | thanks | 08:21 |
| pitti | tvon: so it does not show your CF reader? | 08:22 |
| fabbione | mdz: do we agree to keep universe out? | 08:22 |
| fabbione | mdz: or better.. commented out | 08:22 |
| pitti | tvon: actually you should see the device itself and one or more volumes | 08:22 |
| mdz | fabbione: I think so, yes | 08:23 |
| mdz | at least until we have some barrier in place | 08:23 |
| tvon | pitti: I'm getting some sorta loop here. | 08:24 |
| pitti | tvon: a hal loop? THAT sounds interesting | 08:24 |
| pitti | tvon: what do you mean | 08:24 |
| pitti | tvon: ? | 08:24 |
| tvon | pitti: http://paste.plone.org/1376 | 08:25 |
| pitti | tvon: BTW, yesterday I tested an USB CF reader myself, worked perfectly... | 08:25 |
| pitti | tvon: I'l look | 08:25 |
| tvon | I get a "Lexar ATA Flash" showing up in h-d-v..and it pops back and forth between having a volume under it and not | 08:25 |
| pitti | tvon: ugh! why does udev create and remove the device? | 08:26 |
| pitti | tvon: did you change anything in udev's rules? | 08:26 |
| tvon | pitti: nope | 08:26 |
| tvon | the line in question (29) is here: | 08:27 |
| tvon | BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z] *", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/removable.sh %k", RESULT="1", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev" | 08:27 |
| pitti | tvon: ah, is this a PCMCIA card reader? | 08:27 |
| tvon | I believe so. Its the onboard CF reader on an X31 | 08:28 |
| tvon | s/onboard/builtin/ | 08:28 |
| pitti | tvon: ah, since these are neither USB nor FireWire, we currently don't support automounting them | 08:28 |
| tvon | dang | 08:28 |
| pitti | tvon: this will hopefully be sorted out in Hoary, but not for Warty any more | 08:29 |
| pitti | tvon: the problem is that we don't want to automount fixed hard disks | 08:29 |
| pitti | tvon: but it is very hard to decide which device node is a fixed one and which is a PCMCIA | 08:29 |
| tvon | ah | 08:29 |
| pitti | tvon: in fact, apart from the fact that the PCMCIA node may appear later, there is nothing in the kernel nor in sysfs that tells us that the PCMCIA thingy is removable | 08:29 |
| pitti | tvon: but still, this udev loop looks scary | 08:30 |
| tvon | yeah | 08:31 |
| pitti | tvon: is the device node actually removed and created? Can you see this by polling ls -l /dev/hde* ? | 08:31 |
| tvon | mhm, all the usual hde's are there, how can I tell? | 08:32 |
| tvon | (the card is out now and they are there) | 08:32 |
| tvon | ew....wth | 08:32 |
| tvon | pitti: card is out, but I'm getting this every few seconds in daemon.log: | 08:32 |
| tvon | Sep 9 02:32:43 localhost udev[4492] : removing device node '/dev/hde1' | 08:33 |
| tvon | more loopy goodness | 08:33 |
| pitti | tvon: udev keeps adding hde1 although the card is out? | 08:33 |
| tvon | nah, its removing it now it seems | 08:33 |
| tvon | woah | 08:34 |
| tvon | re-added the card while watching the log, it tries to make all the /dev/hde's but they already exist | 08:35 |
| tvon | http://paste.plone.org/1377 | 08:35 |
| tvon | Should they already exist? | 08:35 |
| tvon | nm, they must have been created last on an earlier load | 08:36 |
| pitti | tvon: actually not, udev should only create devices that actually exist, not all of hde1 to hde24234234 in advance | 08:36 |
| mdz | and they should be removed when the device goes away | 08:40 |
| pitti | tvon: right. but the cardmgr is the one that seems to create these devices | 08:40 |
| pitti | tvon: they probably still exist from an earlier invocation of cardmgr | 08:41 |
| mdz | cardmgr tries to create device nodes? eek | 08:41 |
| pitti | tvon,mdz: I've got an idea: udev wants to create these device nodes as root:plugdev, so it probably deletes the existing ones and creates them again | 08:41 |
| pitti | tvon,mdz: maybe cardmgr does the opposite... | 08:42 |
| pitti | mdz: but you are right, cardmgr should not care about creating devices (but it says so in the log) | 08:42 |
| pitti | mdz: a lot of failed mknod messages | 08:42 |
| pitti | tvon: BTW, I just got an idea how to get your card reader working :-) | 08:43 |
| === Gman [~Glynn@amfea-proxy-1.sun.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| pitti | tvon: if "line 29" applied, this must mean that /sys/block/hde/removable is '1' on your system. Can you please verify that? | 08:44 |
| pitti | tvon: if so, then the change in pmount is trivial | 08:44 |
| tvon | pitti: yup | 08:45 |
| pitti | mdz: what do you think about the following pmount policy change: "device is removable" -> "device is removable || device node is writable by the user"? | 08:45 |
| mdz | pitti: if cardmgr tries to create devices, we should just disable that | 08:46 |
| mdz | because udev will handle it | 08:46 |
| mdz | pcmcia generates hotplug events | 08:46 |
| pitti | mdz: since udev assigns the plugdev group to removable nodes, the user can write the device anyway | 08:46 |
| pitti | mdz: agreed, I will look at cardmgr | 08:46 |
| pitti | tvon: Great! This did not work on another PCMCIA card, but then at least we can support some (including yours :-) ) | 08:47 |
| tvon | pitti: lovely :) | 08:47 |
| pitti | tvon: if mdz agrees, that is | 08:47 |
| mdz | pitti: I am not so sure about that policy change | 08:47 |
| tvon | cardmgr seems to be making them all root:root | 08:47 |
| pitti | tvon: eek | 08:48 |
| pitti | tvon: I will beat the hell^W^W device creation out of cardmgr | 08:48 |
| tvon | heh | 08:48 |
| pitti | mdz: but if the user has full write rights on the device anyway it should not be too critical to allow him to mount it, dont? | 08:48 |
| mdz | pitti: I am not so sure | 08:49 |
| pitti | mdz: okay, I will postpone that | 08:49 |
| pitti | mdz: we just should think over that. But before I'll deal with cardmgr | 08:49 |
| mdz | mounting lets you command something to happen in the kernel | 08:50 |
| mdz | whereas being able to write to the device is purely a user concept | 08:50 |
| pitti | mdz: right. OTOH we allow it on other removeable devices, too... | 08:50 |
| pitti | mdz: udev will only put removable devices in plugdev | 08:50 |
| mdz | yes, and I want to avoid being more liberal than that | 08:50 |
| mdz | there could be block devices that the user can write to which are not meant to be mounted | 08:51 |
| mdz | and we should not let them attempt it | 08:51 |
| pitti | mdz: so pmount should check that it is an IDE/SCSI volume | 08:51 |
| pitti | mdz: (which would be a good idea anyway) | 08:52 |
| mdz | that is not trivial to check, considering that Linus is always threatening to randomize the major device numbers :-) | 08:52 |
| pitti | mdz: I actually thought of looking into sysfs | 08:52 |
| mdz | I think that is probably the correct approach | 08:52 |
| pitti | mdz: I will think over it. I report back this evening. Before I will fix cardmgr and start to go over the security review | 08:52 |
| pitti | mdz: BTW, I have to change pumount to support lazy unmount. Do you see any problem with this? | 08:53 |
| pitti | mdz: we need the support to better handle the case if the user just rips off his devices | 08:53 |
| pitti | mdz: thom will modify hal to lazily umount removed (but still mounted) devices | 08:53 |
| pitti | mdz: he wants to call pumount -l for that | 08:54 |
| mdz | pitti: what needs to change in order to support it? | 08:54 |
| mdz | pitti: yes, I agree, we need to try to handle that case as well as possible | 08:54 |
| pitti | mdz: i have to add an option '-l', pass it to umount | 08:55 |
| pitti | mdz: and I have to replace the check "device node exists" by "device node exists or -l is given" | 08:55 |
| pitti | mdz: because if the user removes the device, /dev/sdxx will not be there any more for unmounting | 08:55 |
| mdz | pitti: in that case, you may as well just remove the check for whether the device node exists | 08:55 |
| pitti | mdz: but we still have the check that the device node must be present in mtab | 08:55 |
| pitti | mdz: so I guess that's okay | 08:56 |
| pitti | mdz: I will leave it in pmount and throw it out of pumount, I guess | 08:56 |
| tvon | Aight, bedtime | 08:56 |
| pitti | mdz: Okay, I can throw it out completely, but it does not hurt; maybe it saves from erroneous calls (not from malicious ones) | 08:56 |
| mdz | pitti: ok, if it protects against some error cases | 08:57 |
| tvon | night folks | 08:57 |
| mdz | as long as we are not relying on it for security | 08:57 |
| mdz | tvon: night | 08:57 |
| pitti | tvon: good night! Can I bother you when you got up with a new cardmgr? | 08:57 |
| tvon | pitti: sure, I'll give it a whirl | 08:57 |
| pitti | mdz: no, we don't. | 08:57 |
| tvon | pitti: just /msg me or something when you want me to try something | 08:57 |
| pitti | mdz: if a device is mounted and the user mounted it, he should be able to umount it even if the node disappeared | 08:58 |
| mdz | yes | 08:58 |
| pitti | mdz: that's reasonable, I think | 08:58 |
| pitti | tvon: Good night! | 08:58 |
| mdz | pitti: I just noticed somethin which does not look right | 08:59 |
| mdz | if( !realpath( argv[1] , device ) ) { | 08:59 |
| mdz | perror( "Error: could not determine real path of the device" ); | 08:59 |
| mdz | return -1; | 08:59 |
| mdz | } | 08:59 |
| mdz | /* does the device start with DEVDIR? */ | 08:59 |
| mdz | if( strncmp( argv[1] , DEVDIR, sizeof( DEVDIR )-1 ) ) { | 08:59 |
| mdz | I think this ^^^^ should look at device, not argv[1] | 08:59 |
| pitti | mdz: argh! | 08:59 |
| pitti | mdz: right, this was correct before I checked with realpath. | 08:59 |
| mdz | bedtime for me | 08:59 |
| pitti | mdz: thanks! | 08:59 |
| mdz | good night | 08:59 |

| sabdfl | anybody else out there think warty is starting to look really slick? | 09:32 |
| pitti | sabdfl: I talked to sb about our current security policy and its implementation, he was really impressed :-) | 09:33 |
| pitti | sabdfl: yesterday I showed the handling of removable devices to a Windows user, he was impressed that it "just worked" without installing any driver and stuff | 09:34 |
| pitti | sabdfl: so, yes! | 09:34 |
| daniels | so we have the full remove thing happening now? | 09:35 |
| pitti | daniels: see the mailing list. Right now nothing changed yet | 09:35 |
| pitti | daniels: but thom and I currently handle the "just rip it off" case | 09:36 |

| pitti | daniels: which should actually work not too badly | 09:36 |
| daniels | congrats, that's sensational | 09:36 |

| sabdfl | are there several? | 10:09 |

| daniels | aieeee, a gcc bug | 10:10 |
| Riff | jamesh: ok, I think this is the one I was mailed about | 10:11 |
| jamesh | What would look cool would be to use Xrender cursors for dnd | 10:13 |
| fabbione | Kamion: base-config ubuntu15 is up, but i will need a cd (even a daily) to test it completlely | 10:13 |
| jamesh | so you'd be dragging a semi-transparent icon for the file | 10:13 |
| fabbione | Kamion: since there are some differences in installing from cdrom and simulating an installation | 10:13 |
| daniels | you could drag a semi-transparent icon for the file easily, but it would look like complete crap | 10:17 |
| daniels | a) doing stuff like that is massively prone to tearing, doubly so if you don't do vsync (we don't), b) updates that often wouldn't be the best on the cpu | 10:17 |

| jamesh | daniels: I remember jg and keithp talking about using Xrender cursors to handle semi-transparent window moves in the window manager ... | 10:22 |
| jamesh | convert window contents to picture, adjust alpha, create cursor | 10:23 |
| fabbione | daniels, mdz: X drivers update... as far as i can tell we need to update the nv driver and the wacom driver. daniels also had the ati stuff pending and there is a patch for r200 in the BTS to fix a segfault (or something similar) | 10:24 |
| daniels | yeah | 10:24 |
| daniels | it's doable | 10:24 |
| daniels | fabbione: i think mdz is asleep, but i believe the r4xx verdict is warty point release | 10:24 |
| fabbione | should we take the chance? or we will leave it for hoary? | 10:24 |
| daniels | fabbione: do you mean the r200 dri stuff? | 10:24 |
| fabbione | yes | 10:24 |
| daniels | fabbione: if so, i'm torn -- it's a pretty huge semantic change, but it does come from upstream cvs, and r200 dri seems quite solid there | 10:25 |
| daniels | fabbione: i don't see the harm if it's out there on a plate for us | 10:25 |
| fabbione | daniels: yeah it's a 1600 lines patch :( | 10:25 |
| daniels | fabbione: i'll take the wacom stuff | 10:25 |
| fabbione | daniels: what about the nv? | 10:25 |
| daniels | fabbione: i think we should just take the entire nv driver from 6.8, tbh | 10:26 |
| fabbione | daniels: i don't mind if you want to do the updates at all | 10:26 |
| daniels | fabbione: cool | 10:26 |
| fabbione | daniels: it was just to take a decision and coordinate | 10:26 |
| fabbione | daniels: just send me the usual ubuntu15 -> ubuntu16 patch | 10:26 |
| daniels | fabbione: well, if i take wacom and i'll cop the ati stuff as well, do you want nv? | 10:26 |
| daniels | fabbione: yeah | 10:26 |
| daniels | fabbione: i'm chasing up some far more serious issues atm, however | 10:26 |
| daniels | but i'll be able to look at it tomorrow | 10:27 |
| fabbione | daniels: i would rather prefer if you update stuff from upstream | 10:27 |
| fabbione | daniels: since you know where to dig and what to replace | 10:27 |
| fabbione | daniels: i can test the nv driver and the ati, if that's what you want | 10:27 |
| daniels | fabbione: ok, that'd be good thanks | 10:31 |
| daniels | i can test ati with the 8500 and 9000 i have here, but yeah, i have no nv or wacom hardware | 10:31 |
| daniels | so i'll get jaq to test wacom, and if you could test nv, that'd be great | 10:31 |
| fabbione | yes i can test nv and one ati (mobility something) | 10:36 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: it doesn't look very human yet, though :-( | 11:27 |
| thom | pitti: yes | 11:27 |
| pitti | thom: I want to add lazy unmounting to pumount, but that got more difficult than I thought | 11:28 |
| thom | oh? | 11:28 |
| pitti | thom: because if the device node is not present any more, I cannot stat /dev/whatever to find out the major device number of the device to be removed | 11:28 |
| pitti | thom: this means that I cannot check if the device is removable | 11:28 |
| fabbione | pitti: caching them somewhere at mount time? | 11:28 |
| pitti | thom: and I cannot just use the name to lookup /sys/block/<device name> because devfs may be used | 11:29 |
| Mithrandir | keep a state file, yes. | 11:29 |
| pitti | fabbione, Mithrandir: I thought about this, but this involves many upstream changes | 11:29 |
| pitti | fabbione, Mithrandir: but I guess I cannot do without one. | 11:30 |
| fabbione | pitti: you can still push the changes back to upstream ;) | 11:30 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: on mount, echo devicename into /var/run/pmount/$username, on umount request, check if it exists in /v/r/p/$username and if not, refuse. | 11:30 |
| pitti | thom: I just wanted to say that this "little" item might last a bit longer because it might need to be discussed with mdz | 11:30 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: something along these lines, yet | 11:30 |
| thom | pitti: no worries, i shall catch up on my email first then :-) | 11:31 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: it sounds fairly simple and non-intrusive to me, but I haven't looked at the source code | 11:31 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: it is easy, but mdz abhors code changes for new features at this stage, so we must get this absolutely correct | 11:31 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: ok | 11:32 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: I don't really like the fact to make pumount depend on external status information... | 11:32 |
| pitti | fabbione: yes, of course I will push the changes upstream. upstream is said to be a cooperative guy, up to now he always adopted my patches :-) | 11:33 |
| pitti | BTW, does anybody have PCMCIA drives? | 11:34 |
| Mithrandir | I have PCMCIA smartmedia cards and such | 11:34 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: I just uploaded a new pcmcia-cs which does not create and remove device nodes on its own when devfs/udev is used | 11:34 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: and I need somebody to test it. tvon will do it, but he is asleep | 11:35 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: it's version 3.2.5-7ubuntu6, should appear in about 15 minutes | 11:35 |
| Mithrandir | ok, I'll walk over to her in about that time, then. | 11:35 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: thanks! | 11:36 |
| Mithrandir | has the upgrade-doesn't-add-the-initial-user-to-plugdev been solved yet, btw? | 11:36 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: no | 11:36 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: this is unlikely to be solved within Warty | 11:36 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: somebody proposed an external upgrade-to-warty package/script | 11:37 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: we cannot just put random users into this group | 11:37 |
| Mithrandir | true | 11:37 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: I just got an idea about the state file: what if an USB drive is ripped off (/dev/sda), then I hotplug a real SCSI disk (/dev/sda as well)? The user should not be allowed to pumount it then. | 11:39 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: okay, this is a pathological case, but still... | 11:39 |
| Kinnison | pitti: if a removable drive is removed; doesn't the kernel automatically unmount it? | 11:39 |
| pitti | Kinnison: unfortunately not | 11:39 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: you mean hotplug scsi drives aren't considered removable? ;P | 11:39 |
| fabbione | pitti: you can still try to detect the device & co and use the state as last resource | 11:39 |
| Kinnison | pitti: can you do it by filesystem uuid? | 11:40 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: and, won't pmount just mount it under /media/$UUID or something? | 11:40 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: well, in the current policy we only regard USB and firewire devices as removable | 11:40 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: I was kidding. | 11:40 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: that's right, the mount point must be below /media/. That could help us. | 11:40 |
| Mithrandir | it's not perfect, but it's a good start. | 11:41 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: I just want to avoid the case that root hotplugs a new SCSI device as /usr and the user can umount it | 11:41 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: but you're right, I still check that the mountpoint is /media/*, so this will not work | 11:41 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: and that the mount point is mounted with user=$USER | 11:41 |
| Mithrandir | (in mtab) | 11:41 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: right, uid=... | 11:43 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: but I don't know if this is the case with every file system | 11:43 |
| Mithrandir | I think mount uses it to decide whether you can umount or not? | 11:44 |
| pitti | AFAIK mount looks in /etc/fstab, whether it has the 'user' option | 11:44 |
| Mithrandir | yup, it does. | 11:45 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: but actually, isn't it enough to compare uid=xxx with getuid() in pmount? | 11:45 |
| Mithrandir | I would think so. | 11:45 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: then we could circumvent the state file completely | 11:45 |
| pitti | thom: did you follow the discussion? | 11:45 |
| Mithrandir | of course, if user mounts a SCSI drive over where a thumbdrive was, you lose. | 11:45 |
| Mithrandir | (as in, the user will be able to umount the hotplug SCSI drive) | 11:46 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: right, but if the admin mounts a SCSI drive with uid=1000 (or so), he loses anyway | 11:46 |
| Mithrandir | yeah | 11:46 |
| Mithrandir | :) | 11:46 |
| thom | pitti: yeah | 11:46 |
| thom | looks reasonable from where i'm sitting | 11:46 |
| pitti | thom, Mithrandir: I will prepare an updated pmount package, but won't upload it yet. | 11:46 |
| pitti | I will upload it to my chinstrap homepage, discuss it with mdz, and when I got his blessing, upload it | 11:46 |
| pitti | in the meantime thom can use it for testing the new hal | 11:47 |
| thom | yeah | 11:47 |
| pitti | agree? | 11:47 |

| thom | Mithrandir: that's supressed in the latest default | 01:06 |

| thom | pitti: ok | 01:06 |
| fabbione | Kamion: yeah .. it's there.. can you check if it has base-config ubunut15? | 01:06 |

| Kamion | fabbione: building a new one now | 01:09 |
| pitti | thom: I just got the same thought | 01:09 |
| thom | since it'll be thom mounting, and hal unmounting | 01:09 |
| pitti | thom: actually this should be done by gvm | 01:09 |
| fabbione | Kamion: thanks | 01:09 |
| thom | pitti: it can't | 01:09 |
| pitti | thom: but we must check this, otherwise users can unmount root-mounted devices which are not in fstab | 01:09 |
| thom | not with out rewriting huge amounts of hal | 01:10 |
| pitti | thom: hal should send a "ripped out" message to gvm, gvm should call pumount | 01:10 |
| Kamion | fabbione: (the .list files are useful - you can do it with isoinfo -l too but it's more tedious) | 01:10 |
| pitti | thom: hmmm. Problem. | 01:10 |
| thom | pitti: sure, but hal only sends the udi, not the device info | 01:10 |
| fabbione | Kamion: yes .. i mirror only the .iso | 01:10 |
| fabbione | isoinfo.. hmmm /me checks | 01:11 |
| rburton | ooh, so my ipod just got mounted with pmount | 01:11 |
| pitti | thom: gvm is capable of figuring out the device from an udi | 01:11 |
| pitti | rburton: great! What was missing? | 01:11 |
| thom | pitti: not after the device is removed, it isn't | 01:11 |
| rburton | pitti: :) you have to unload all usb and firewire kernel modules and restart hotplug | 01:11 |
| pitti | thom: BTW, this was crap anyway. gvm should not do it, but gnome-vfs2 | 01:11 |
| Kamion | fabbione: the idiom is 'isoinfo -lR -i whatever.iso' | 01:11 |
| pitti | rburton: sounds quite straightforward. </irony> | 01:12 |
| rburton | pitti: yeah, easy. carlos said he'll file a bug when he remembers with the details | 01:12 |
| thom | pitti: shrug | 01:12 |
| pitti | thom: if I tell mdz that I modified pumount to allow hal to unmount any device, he will kill me | 01:13 |
| fabbione | Kamion: i see.. i was RTFM ;) | 01:13 |
| thom | pitti: ok, i'll look at fixing hal to expose the device that was removed | 01:13 |
| Kamion | fabbione: hm, might need to do a 20040909.2 anyway, just noticed kernels on non-i386 are screwed | 01:13 |
| fabbione | ok | 01:13 |
| thom | that seems more reasonable, and more in line with how hal should work | 01:13 |
| fabbione | just ping me when it's ready | 01:13 |
| Kamion | (like, they don't have any) | 01:13 |
| pitti | thom: can't gnome-vfs figure out the device from the udi? | 01:13 |
| pitti | thom: right. hal should not have any policies, including (u)mounts | 01:14 |
| === Mithrandir watches OOo build. Almost like watching paint dry. | ||
| pitti | thom: I think gnome-vfs is the right place to do that, and it runs as the normal user | 01:14 |
| thom | pitti: the problem is that by the time the removed signal is emitted by hal and recived by g-v-m, the device is gone and hal knows nothing about it, so you can't resolve from udi to device | 01:14 |
| pitti | thom: by the time of the removal, isn't it still contained in hal's database? | 01:15 |
| thom | pitti: nope | 01:15 |
| pitti | thom: this sounds strange. Just before hal purges it from its db (after getting the hotplug message) it still has the device entry | 01:16 |
| pitti | thom: can't the message be sent out in between? | 01:16 |
| pitti | thom: what does upstream do with this? | 01:17 |
| thom | pitti: certainly this is what i'm seeing. when the hal_device_removed callback gets run, hal_device_get_property_string can't get block.device | 01:18 |
| pitti | thom: yes, the callback is certainly too late. | 01:18 |
| thom | so we can change the callback to run earlier | 01:18 |
| pitti | thom: if that's possible? | 01:18 |
| thom | which i will check now | 01:18 |
| pitti | thom: sth like hal_device_about_to_be_removed :-) | 01:18 |
| thom | pitti: upstream have fixed it by umounting in hal :/ | 01:19 |
| thom | pitti: *nod* | 01:19 |
| pitti | thom: providing a new callback sounds cleaner than just saving the device and using it later | 01:19 |
| thom | yeah, agreed | 01:19 |
| pitti | thom: this even sounds general enough to get this upstream | 01:20 |
| Kamion | hm, I forgot to unexclude openoffice.org on powerpc once it got fixed | 01:20 |
| === cef waits for sounder8 to download | ||
| pitti | thom: I have to go for another round of fighting with the fiscal authorities, will return later (around 1400 UTC, I hope) | 01:23 |
| thom | do we want to add a new one, or just change when Device Removed happens? i think the latter might be better - it means we don't change the api | 01:23 |
| thom | k | 01:23 |
| pitti | thom: hmm. you mean just call deviceRemoved earlier? | 01:24 |
| pitti | thom: sounds as if it would make sense, too, then the clients could still query the db | 01:24 |
| pitti | thom: I don't know the exact implications of this, however | 01:24 |
| thom | yeah | 01:24 |
| pitti | thom: so currently hal removes the db entry and calls the callback? | 01:24 |
| thom | yep | 01:24 |
| pitti | thom: and you want to swap that? | 01:24 |
| daniels | wasn't it skanky goth chick? | 01:24 |

| cef | don't set it much higher than 2, or else broken routers REALLY bite you | 01:46 |
| cef | hrm my side is already at 2.. hrm.. wonder if I've got a broken router upstream.. hrm | 01:47 |
| elmo | I mean the tcp_{r,w}mem stuff.. | 01:47 |
| Mithrandir | elmo: that would be very nice, yes. | 01:48 |

| cef | no.. but once we get a stable mirror of files, it's not that hard to generate jigdo files (apparently) | 02:08 |
| Kinnison | generating jigdo files can be easy or time-consuming | 02:08 |
| daniels | cef: well, if you want to come around and grab the i386 mirror, you're welcome to it | 02:08 |
| Kinnison | Steve McIntyre's JTE stuff makes it fast | 02:08 |
| === fabbione kicks his ISP big times | ||
| Kamion | daniels: the problem is that we need to generate a snapshot of the archive at the point when the jigdo is generated | 02:10 |
| Kamion | elmo: what's the stayofexecution set to currently? | 02:10 |
| Kinnison | Kamion: IIRC 2 real days | 02:10 |
| Kinnison | Kamion: elmo upped it when thom complained | 02:10 |
| Kinnison | unless I'm very broken / remember incorrectly | 02:11 |
| daniels | Kamion: how hard would it be to do by hand from today's warty? | 02:11 |
| Mithrandir | hi simira | 02:11 |
| Kamion | so telling the archive to make a snapshot at the point when the jigdo has finished generating would be OK, even if the archive has changed slightly from the start | 02:11 |
| Kamion | daniels: the world doesn't have access to little, and I don't have shell access to auckland | 02:11 |
| Kamion | daniels: this makes it difficult | 02:11 |
| Kamion | need to prepare something which makes a hardlink snapshot of the archive and get elmo to let me ssh-trigger it from little, I think | 02:12 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: use pdumpfs or glastree, perhaps? | 02:12 |
| Mithrandir | or just cp -l | 02:12 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: oh, there are plenty of ways to do it, it isn't a fundamental problem | 02:13 |
| thom | SOE is 24hours iirc | 02:14 |
| daniels | Kamion: oh right, I meant from a local machine | 02:14 |
| daniels | we're in Australia, remember ;) | 02:14 |
| Kamion | daniels: oh, probably, but haven't done any of the debian-cd integration yet so I don't quite know | 02:14 |
| daniels | Kamion: righto, not mjcyh of a muchness | 02:15 |
| daniels | i'll probably just abuse uni's bandwidth for a bit :) | 02:15 |

| fabbione | now my ISP claims that it didn't receive the router | 02:17 |
| fabbione | and that they want the money or the shipping receipt | 02:17 |
| daniels | Kinnison: yeah, but i'm on a 4gb bandwidth limit, and 2 of that disappeared within 27h | 02:18 |
| fabbione | how can tehy pretend a shipping receipt after 6 months... | 02:18 |
| daniels | so i can get bandwidth fine now, it just involves stealing it until nexttep get off their butts and process our plan change request (to unlimited) | 02:19 |

| debianist | you have any idea why there isn't any program to handle pdf files? | 03:09 |
| debianist | i mean with the correct assoc. without having to fire it up and choose a doc. | 03:09 |
| seb128 | because nobody reported the problem before and we have forgotten to modify xpdf to do this | 03:10 |
| Kamion | fabbione: not really, sorry | 03:10 |
| debianist | shall I open a bug? | 03:10 |
| Kamion | fabbione: I tend to pick apart an existing ISO | 03:11 |
| fabbione | Kamion: i am going with another "blind" upload.. i will need you to rebuild the cd after | 03:11 |
| fabbione | ok | 03:11 |
| fabbione | well.. than you need to run something to regenerate the Packages files and so on... | 03:11 |
| Kamion | fabbione: usual procedure is: mount ISO, copy tree, copy in package you want, update Packages file by hand, update Packages.gz, update /dists/warty/Release, run "mkisofs -r -V 'Ubuntu 4.10 i386 Bin-1' -o warty-i386-hacked-1.iso -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table new-i386" | 03:12 |

| Kamion | I've been meaning to write iso-editor to avoid having to do that | 03:13 |
| fabbione | Kamion: ok.. it looks relatively simple | 03:14 |
| fabbione | it's just a lot of mechanical work | 03:14 |
| debianist | why not through it all inside a perlly? | 03:15 |
| Kamion | because I can't be bothered | 03:15 |
| debianist | k | 03:16 |
| fabbione | debianist: you could take the challenge to do it :-) | 03:17 |
| debianist | to write a script for that? | 03:17 |
| fabbione | debianist: like getting in input a .deb or a list of debs | 03:17 |
| fabbione | and create a custom iso from a defined source | 03:18 |
| fabbione | yeah | 03:18 |
| debianist | hmmm, it sounds rather an interesting job. I'd give it a try, what did Kamion mean with "update Package file by hand = Packages.gz" ? | 03:19 |
| elmo | btw, if any warty folks are bored, it'd be good to fix glide (see #659) so X can be up2date on amd64 | 03:19 |

| fabbione | Kamion: testing on real cd is way different than on simulated installation | 04:08 |
| fabbione | Kamion: other little bugs are coming up | 04:08 |
| jame1 | is there a way I can use the ubuntu CD as a rescue CD? I have now thoroughly mangled my bootloader. | 04:09 |
| Kamion | jame1: boot, run through the UI up until the start of partitioning (it hasn't written anything to the disk at that point, but does have all the necessary modules etc.) | 04:11 |
| Kamion | jame1: then switch to tty2, mount any partitions you need, chroot if necessary | 04:11 |
| jame1 | Kamion: will that let me see my RAID partitions? | 04:12 |
| fabbione | jame1: yes it should... | 04:12 |
| Kamion | I would expect so, yes | 04:12 |
| fabbione | in the worst case modprobe the raid level you need | 04:12 |
| fabbione | and start the raid manually | 04:12 |
| Kamion | if not, md-modules-*.udeb is on the CD; install it with udpkg -i | 04:12 |
| fabbione | at that point you should have it available | 04:13 |
| Kamion | the installer is basically a package-managed mini-Ubuntu system that installs pieces of itself at run-time | 04:13 |
| Kamion | an automatic rescue target is, I think, possible, but will require some scripting | 04:15 |
| jdub_ | anyone know of publically available info regarding the open secure digital card stuff? | 04:18 |
| Kamion | damn, forgot to add acpi-modules to the d-i initrds | 04:18 |

| thom | rburton: heh, nice | 04:33 |
| thom | not sure i'd want to run apache in the session, (seems uneccesary, too) | 04:33 |

| Kamion | if/when g++-3.4 is seeded on i386/powerpc, then their dependencies will be pulled in | 05:48 |

| fabbione | <point of order> i am imploding </point of order> | 05:56 |
| thom | and it's always a bad sign when you get to the point of using FASCISTS! as a debugging string | 05:56 |
| === fabbione fires up AC/DC | ||
| mdz | thom: what did I miss with glide? | 06:01 |
| mdz | I test-built it on amd64 and it did the right thing | 06:01 |
| fabbione | hey mdz | 06:01 |
| thom | mdz: control had just i386 in architectures for libglide2-dev, but you'd enabled the build of that package on any arch | 06:01 |
| pitti | mdz: Good morning! | 06:01 |
| mdz | thom: ah | 06:01 |
| mdz | morning | 06:01 |
| pitti | mdz: ahm - do you have some time for another pmount discussion? | 06:02 |
| mdz | pitti: yes | 06:03 |
| thom | anyhow, hopefully my brain'll hurt less after They Might be Giants, so i'll hopefully fixup hal then | 06:03 |
| pitti | mdz: I tried to add the -l option for lazy unmounting, but there's a problem: | 06:03 |
| pitti | mdz: if the device node is not present any more, I cannot really check directly whether the device node belongs to an USB/FireWire device | 06:04 |
| pitti | mdz: so currently I dropped the device_removable() check from pumount and replaced it by a check if the mounted uid == getuid() | 06:04 |
| mdz | pitti: you could check that the device is mounted under /media | 06:05 |
| pitti | mdz: this adds the constraint that only the user who mounted a device can unmount it (this should be actually a good thing) | 06:05 |
| pitti | mdz: this is already done | 06:05 |
| mdz | pitti: or worse, create a pmtab so you know what was mounted by pmount and what wasn't | 06:05 |
| pitti | mdz: we already discussed the pmtab thingy, but it has its flaws, too | 06:05 |
| pitti | mdz: the current solution should not be worse because: | 06:05 |
| pitti | mdz: pmount only mounts removable devices (USB/FireWire), and the devices have uid=getuid() | 06:06 |
| pitti | mdz: pumount only umounts uid=getuid() devices, so transitively it only unmounts removable devices, too | 06:06 |
| pitti | mdz: this is not perfect, but from my POV its almost equivalent | 06:06 |
| pitti | mdz: and we have to check for uid==getuid() anyway (at least we should) | 06:07 |
| mdz | pitti: it sounds like it is probably close enough | 06:07 |
| pitti | mdz: the pmtab has an exploit: | 06:07 |
| mdz | pitti: you could add a dummy flag to the mount | 06:07 |
| mdz | to mark it as being mounted by pmount | 06:07 |
| pitti | mdz: if that's possible... | 06:07 |
| mdz | it might produce warnings | 06:07 |
| pitti | mdz: having an extra table is not a good solution, an user might pmount /dev/sda, rip it off, then the admin comes and hotplugs an /dev/sda SCSI device (fixed) to /usr | 06:08 |
| pitti | mdz: the user should not be able to umount /dev/sda then | 06:08 |
| mdz | hmm | 06:08 |
| pitti | mdz: I did not upload the current version yet, its on https://chinstrap.warthogs.hbd.com/~pitti/pmount/ | 06:08 |
| pitti | mdz: I wanted to discuss it first | 06:08 |
| pitti | mdz: if the pmount mount flag does not hurt, I can add this, too | 06:09 |
| pitti | mdz: but writing an extra pmtab has too many risks of doing sth wrong, I think | 06:09 |
| lamont | moof | 06:09 |
| pitti | lamont: hi! | 06:10 |
| mdz | pitti: I agree; I don't recommend a pmtab | 06:10 |
| pitti | lamont: may I bother you with a Debian buildd issue? | 06:10 |

| pitti | lamont: 7.4.5-3 has critical bugfixes that need to go into sarge ASAP | 06:11 |
| lamont | m68k@buildd.debian.org - ask them to please upload | 06:11 |
| pitti | lamont: thanks, will do | 06:11 |
| lamont | or, ask elmo to remove it from the archive for m68k... :-) | 06:11 |

| lamont | if it got removed (for m68k), then as soon as they uploaded, it would snap into testing, unless another upload had superseded it in sid. | 06:12 |

| lamont | today I will go to town and fetch sounder 8 so that bonnie can install it tonight | 06:17 |
| fabbione | daniels: easy... what/where? | 06:19 |
| fabbione | daniels: changes in discover1 will be useless | 06:19 |
| daniels | fabbione: ... why? | 06:19 |
| daniels | fabbione: we use discover1-data for all our installs | 06:19 |
| fabbione | daniels: X will need to be changed too | 06:19 |
| daniels | ah, you have a map? | 06:20 |
| fabbione | daniels: because before there was the difference between r128 and ati.. | 06:20 |
| fabbione | than it went away | 06:20 |
| daniels | i'd like to do it, but the nv/ati/wacom changes take precedence | 06:20 |
| fabbione | now you want to split it again | 06:20 |
| fabbione | there is code in config that handles that situation | 06:20 |
| daniels | i would like to split r128/radeon. i've always wanted to split r128/radeon. | 06:20 |
| daniels | i don't believe in the ati driver, except for the unknown card vendor-default case | 06:21 |
| fabbione | and reimplementing the split is not easy if you were using the ati driver | 06:21 |
| fabbione | so i rather prefer to keep it as it is for warty | 06:21 |
| daniels | sure | 06:21 |
| daniels | in any case, it | 06:21 |
| fabbione | and we will split it again in hoary | 06:21 |

| pitti | mdz: I can still mail it if you want | 08:53 |
| mdz | pitti: hmm | 08:54 |
| mdz | pitti: which uid does it use when doing the uid check for unmount? | 08:54 |
| mdz | if it is the invoking user, won't that break for hal lazy unmounts? | 08:54 |
| tvon | pitti: seems good in the logs | 08:55 |
| pitti | mdz: that's why we don't allow hal to pumount | 08:55 |
| pitti | mdz: first, because of the user, second because hal should stay policy free | 08:55 |
| tvon | hald keeps crapping out dammit | 08:55 |
| mdz | pitti: but hal already does this, with umount rather than pumount | 08:55 |
| mdz | pitti: how do we do lazy unmounts if not with hal? | 08:55 |
| pitti | mdz: thom and I decided that it would be the best if hald just send a message to gnome-vfs2 (gvm) and gvm does it | 08:56 |
| mdz | hmm | 08:56 |
| mdz | pitti: what happens if the user logs out of GNOME? | 08:56 |
| pitti | mdz: then it is not umounted, I guess | 08:56 |
| tvon | hrm, mayhaps I need a reboot after some updates | 08:56 |
| pitti | mdz: this is the same: a device is not mounted if the user is not logged in | 08:56 |
| tvon | volume-manager is set to browse the new stuffs, but it's not happening | 08:57 |
| pitti | mdz: after all, it's just a helper, not a final solution | 08:57 |
| tvon | can udev be restarted without things exploding? | 08:57 |
| pitti | tvon: no, the device won't be mounted automatically | 08:57 |
| mdz | tvon: yes, should be | 08:57 |
| tvon | pitti: ah | 08:57 |
| pitti | tvon: pcmcia-cs should just behave sanely now, without creating device nodes on its own | 08:57 |
| tvon | pitti: gotcha | 08:58 |
| pitti | tvon: why? does it still behave bad? | 08:58 |
| pitti | mdz: maybe gvm should unmount all pmounted devices on logout | 08:58 |
| tvon | pitti: nah, the logs look fine but I was hoping for some auto-browse magic on the CF | 08:59 |
| mdz | pitti: maybe | 08:59 |
| mdz | this gets tricky | 08:59 |
| pitti | tvon: I'm still negotiating this with mdz | 08:59 |
| kagou | pitti, what do you want to test with the last pcmcia-cs ? Because i'v an external DD SATA on pcmcia | 08:59 |
| pitti | kagou: the previous version created device nodes on its own, which badly interfered with udev. Nodes were created, removed, and created again, removed again, and so on | 09:00 |
| pitti | kagou: thus the device appeared as steadily unplugged and replugged | 09:00 |
| mdz | pitti: I don't see any problems with the patch | 09:00 |
| pitti | kagou: essentially the pcmcia packages should just behave as before, without stopping to work in general | 09:01 |
| mdz | pitti: did you see the sounder report where pmounting ext3 doesn't work? (due to uid= option) | 09:01 |
| kagou | nice pitti | 09:01 |
| pitti | kagou: so if you don't notice any difference, it's fine :-) | 09:01 |
| mdz | pitti: fixing that will probably require some adjustments to this new policy as well | 09:01 |
| pitti | mdz: no, I still have to catch up my mail | 09:01 |
| kagou | i test | 09:01 |
| sabdfl | mdz: if we are using grub only, should we turn off do_symlinks in /etc/kernel-img.conf? | 09:01 |
| pitti | mdz: I was busy with the security review until now | 09:01 |
| mdz | sabdfl: update-grub still uses the symlinks to provide the default and "(old)" options | 09:02 |
| kagou | no problems with my pcmcia :) | 09:02 |

| kagou | mail is too big :p | 09:03 |
| mdz | sabdfl: apt-get install kernel-package | 09:03 |
| pitti | mdz: I think we should attempt the mount with option -s to fix that ext3 problem | 09:06 |
| pitti | mdz: I will reformat my USB stick and try that | 09:06 |
| mdz | pitti: oh, I did not know about that option. that sounds good | 09:06 |
| pitti | mdz: Will try that and put that into the 0.0.9 package before upload | 09:07 |

| mdz | pitti: from what I saw, yes. I do not have time for a line-by-line audit | 09:07 |
| mdz | but I looked over them | 09:07 |
| pitti | mdz: of course not, I just want the new policy to be blessed by you :-) | 09:08 |
| pitti | mdz: the general idea of umounting with checking the uid= | 09:08 |
| mdz | no problem with the policy | 09:08 |

| lamont | mdz: you upload it, it'll build | 09:21 |
| mdz | lamont: ok, great | 09:21 |
| lamont | ditto for warty-updates | 09:21 |
| mdz | sabdfl: either gold release or FinalFreeze | 09:21 |

| sabdfl | yes ok | 09:21 |

| sabdfl | elmo: i will never forget your face when you Winged It (TM) with my mail... | 09:22 |
| mdz | sabdfl: pitti is beginning the Warty security review, and I think it makes sense to push at least some of those updates through warty-security to make sure it works | 09:22 |
| mdz | elmo: do we have a warty-amber or something? | 09:22 |
| elmo | mdz: err, nope | 09:22 |
| mdz | elmo: how should that part work? | 09:22 |
| sabdfl | i thought we'd want "warty" to be the same as the CD | 09:23 |
| elmo | mdz: well atm, it works more like p-u in Debian.. I didn't realise you'd want to do it amber-style | 09:23 |
| mdz | elmo: good point | 09:23 |
| sabdfl | amber? p-u? | 09:23 |
| mdz | elmo: how does stuff get from p-u to stable in debian? | 09:23 |
| mdz | sabdfl: p-u = proposed-updates, where things live before they go into a point release | 09:23 |

| sabdfl | nope :-) | 09:23 |

| mdz | sabdfl: amber = tool used to install packages into the security.debian.org archive for an advisory | 09:24 |
| sabdfl | ok | 09:24 |
| mdz | elmo: I suppose soyuz should obsolete amber | 09:24 |
| sabdfl | so back to the panel menus. about ubuntu -> back to applications? | 09:24 |
| elmo | mdz: yeah, you'd have a web/mail interface as a replacement I guess | 09:24 |
| mdz | hopefully by the time we need a place to stage updates from random people before letting them into the security archive, we'll have enough of soyuz to oprovide that | 09:24 |
| mdz | sabdfl: I'd suggest that we have a Help menu, but I think jeff would set my house afire | 09:25 |
| elmo | oh, are we still going to do that opening a browser by default - I think that'd be cool for new users | 09:25 |
| elmo | (with a page pointing to docs, I mean) | 09:25 |
| sabdfl | it's looking pretty good at the mo | 09:25 |
| sabdfl | in fact, if we moved both help and about ubuntu over, then the menu's are dead even | 09:26 |
| mdz | elmo: local docs, or network docs? | 09:26 |
| mdz | Help is an application | 09:27 |

| sabdfl | what's our firefox default home page going to be? | 09:29 |
| lamont | mdz: note that when you test warty-security/warty-updates, uploads _will_ happen for them... | 09:29 |
| sabdfl | I think it should be something like search.ubuntulinux.org | 09:29 |

| Mithrandir | mdz: ping -c www.n-n-y.c && sensible-browser http://www.n-n-y.c/Warty/Start ? | 09:29 |
| mdz | would be a nice companion to no-name-yet | 09:29 |
| sabdfl | what about boss-never-decides-till-the-last-minute-then-changes-his-mind-again.com? | 09:29 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: do I even need to point out the failure conditions? :-) | 09:29 |

| mdz | we have ubuntu-customized versions of 394 of the 923 binary packages in desktop | 09:32 |
| mdz | minus one false positive for ubuntu-artwork due to my laziness | 09:32 |
| lamont | mdz: just need to drop the '-again' then... :-) | 09:32 |
| lamont | elmo: thoughts on that ugly binNMU/powerpc thing? | 09:33 |
| mdz | BINNMU BAD | 09:33 |
| lamont | mdz: worse than that. | 09:33 |
| lamont | -6.0.1 > -6ubuntu1 | 09:34 |
| mdz | lamont: BINNMU BAD | 09:34 |
| elmo | lamont: i replied? | 09:34 |
| lamont | so we need to upload -6.1ubuntu1 | 09:34 |
| === lamont checks his emails | ||
| elmo | I think we should just bite the bullet and upload 6.0.1ubuntu1 | 09:34 |
| elmo | it's hideous, but what choice do we have.. 6.1ubuntu1 is kind of worse, since debian's still at -6.. maybe | 09:34 |
| mdz | how about -6ubuntu2? | 09:34 |
| lamont | elmo: 6.0.1ubuntu1 sourceful? | 09:35 |
| lamont | mdz: gotta have a . | 09:35 |
| Mithrandir | that looks crackful | 09:35 |
| mdz | lamont: why? | 09:35 |
| mdz | it's not a bin-nmu | 09:35 |
| lamont | because -6.0.1 > -6ubuntu* | 09:35 |
| mdz | bin-nmus are BAD | 09:35 |
| lamont | yeah, well done is done. | 09:35 |
| lamont | was a rebuild to get correct deps | 09:35 |
| elmo | mdz: dude, it's there, we can't ... | 09:35 |
| mdz | oh, we have a 6.0.1 in warty you mean? | 09:35 |
| elmo | oh, well, that's another option of course, we haven't released yet | 09:35 |
| lamont | yes | 09:35 |
| Mithrandir | how about 6.ubuntu1 ? | 09:35 |
| elmo | we could kill the 6.0.1 out of warty :) | 09:35 |
| mdz | I wasn't in on the email conspiracy | 09:36 |
| lamont | and it's preventing 6ubuntu1 from getting there for ppc | 09:36 |
| lamont | elmo: it only breaks our ppc sounders upgrading to the preview instead of cold-installing... :=( | 09:36 |
| elmo | lamont: so did, e.g. the flush/rebuilds :P | 09:36 |
| === lamont favors -6.1ubuntu1 | ||
| lamont | very true.. | 09:36 |
| lamont | and nuking -6.0.1 could be a purely elmo-activity. :-) | 09:37 |
| Mithrandir | blaming elmo always works. ;P | 09:37 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: no. blaming elmo doesn't always work. | 09:39 |
| lamont | But it _is_ always fun. | 09:39 |
| Mithrandir | well, true. | 09:40 |
| sabdfl | elmo: done | 09:40 |
| lamont | elmo: so you wanna just make it go away? | 09:41 |
| lamont | no-source-change upload is also no big deal... | 09:41 |
| === lamont lets mdz/elmo decide. :-) | ||
| === npmccallum [~npmccallu@69-162-252-7.ironoh.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| lamont | of course, if we uploaded -6.1ubuntu1, we should do a no-source-change NMU to debian, since -6 is the latest in debian.. | 09:42 |
| lamont | maybe that's a vote for 'nuke', eh? | 09:42 |
| === lamont hugs ccache | ||
| Mithrandir | lamont: can you check why geda-gschem failed to build on amd64? | 09:48 |
| Mithrandir | (universe) | 09:48 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: why, for the same reason it failed on i386, of course.. | 09:49 |
| Mithrandir | which is? | 09:49 |
| lamont | +-lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lX11 -lm | 09:49 |
| lamont | /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 | 09:49 |
| lamont | collect2: ld returned 1 exit status | 09:49 |
| Mithrandir | missing xlibs build-dep? | 09:49 |
| lamont | looks like maybe a missing build-dep to me | 09:49 |
| lamont | whiptail x-dev xfree86-common xlibs-data xlibs-static-dev zlib1g-dev | 09:50 |
| lamont | 0 upgraded, 85 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 09:50 |
| lamont | that's the tail end of apt-get install output | 09:50 |
| Mithrandir | yup, since it built fine on my system here. | 09:50 |
| lamont | the real question is what happened on ppc... | 09:50 |
| Mithrandir | it build-deps on libgtk2.0-dev, though.. | 09:50 |
| lamont | d-w libgeda-dev | 09:51 |
| lamont | ../../rpmdb/dbconfig.c:11:19: debug.h: No such file or directory | 09:54 |

| elmo | I've nuked 6.0.1 | 10:02 |
| mdz | what package is this anyway? | 10:02 |
| elmo | libgphoto2 | 10:03 |
| elmo | it's one of the two last remaining blemishes in the archive (out-of-date or broken deps) | 10:03 |
| mdz | crap | 10:03 |
| mdz | something people actually have installed | 10:03 |
| elmo | oh.. well.. we can still do a source upload if you want | 10:03 |
| mdz | it's fine with me if we're newer than a hypothetical Debian NMU | 10:04 |
| lamont | mdz: yeah, but they also have i386 and/or amd64 binaries from before the great flushing.. | 10:04 |
| lamont | mdz: so you want a source upload? will do | 10:04 |
| mdz | lamont: yeah, but then when we go to do a security update for it, they wouldn't get it | 10:04 |
| mdz | whereas that isn't a problem for the flushed binaries | 10:04 |
| lamont | yeah | 10:04 |
| mdz | yes, please do | 10:05 |
| lamont | sabdfl: rpm has issues... | 10:05 |
| lamont | mdz: momentarily | 10:05 |
| lamont | libelf is GPL'ed, but we also need libdw (dwarf), which isn't... | 10:05 |
| lamont | 2.1.4-6.1ubuntu0 | 10:06 |
| lamont | I like the sound of that version number... | 10:06 |
| Mithrandir | blah, pbuilder doesn't have a warty.buildd | 10:08 |
| lamont | I have one for sbuild | 10:08 |
| Mithrandir | could you send it to me? | 10:08 |
| Mithrandir | or put it online? | 10:08 |
| fabbione | Kamion: are you still around? | 10:09 |

| fabbione | argh | 10:10 |
| Mithrandir | lamont: thanks | 10:11 |
| lamont | mdz: do apt-preferences apply to deb-src lines, or how do I do that? | 10:11 |
| fabbione | lamont: no it doesn't | 10:11 |
| fabbione | you have to do it manually iirc | 10:12 |
| lamont | fehg | 10:12 |
| === lamont just removes the deb-src lines for sid. | ||
| lamont | libgphoto2 uploaded | 10:15 |
| fabbione | mdz: should we recompile all the packages for v10 or go for v12? | 10:19 |

| mdz | lamont: apt-get source <package>=<version> | 10:21 |
| mdz | fabbione: as I said in the bug, I think many packages can't use v12 because of the licensing | 10:21 |
| fabbione | so we need to roll back to v10... | 10:22 |
| lamont | mdz: yeah, but I want to say apt-get source=warty | 10:22 |
| lamont | mdz: err, apt-get source <pkg>=warty | 10:22 |
| mdz | lamont: you want apt-get source <pkg>/warty :-) | 10:22 |
| lamont | does that work? | 10:23 |
| mdz | fabbione: that is what sarge is doing | 10:23 |
| mdz | lamont: no | 10:23 |
| === lamont whaps mdz. :-) | ||
| fabbione | mdz: yeah i read that... | 10:23 |
| mdz | there's a wishlist bug, and a possible patch, in Debian | 10:23 |
| mdz | ABI changes, etc. not going to happen for a while | 10:23 |
| lamont | mdz: looking at main, I'm not sure we care that much about v10 vs v12. Universe is much more populated | 10:23 |
| mdz | fabbione: so if we go for v10 we can perhaps sync packages from Debian | 10:23 |
| fabbione | mdz: if the list of packages is that one in the bug i will take care of them tomorrow | 10:23 |
| mdz | fabbione: great | 10:24 |
| fabbione | mdz: hmmmm i am not sure that's a good idea... | 10:24 |
| mdz | hopefully they all build and work with v10 | 10:24 |
| lamont | fabbione: you mean my list? | 10:24 |
| === lamont can do the conversions today | ||
| fabbione | mdz: i think it's easier to just change dependency and rebuild | 10:24 |
| fabbione | lamont: yes sorry.... | 10:24 |
| lamont | fabbione: np. | 10:24 |
| lamont | mdz: you want them rebuilt with the v10 depends? | 10:25 |
| lamont | or do you want to rebuild the others with v12? | 10:25 |
| mdz | lamont: universe? no, not universe | 10:25 |
| fabbione | lamont: with v10 | 10:25 |
| lamont | mdz: not universe. | 10:25 |
| mdz | lamont: see #1115 | 10:25 |
| === lamont will rebuild his package list from #1115 to all b-d libmysqlclient10-dev | ||
| fabbione | lamont: ok... | 10:27 |
| fabbione | so i won't care about it tomorrow | 10:27 |
| fabbione | hopefully i will get Xu packages | 10:27 |
| lamont | redland, mysql-dfsg,libdbd-mysql-perl | 10:27 |
| mdz | anyone know which end of australia Xu is on? | 10:28 |
| lamont | umm... mysql-dfsg... I think I'm not gonna do that one, since it delivers libmysqlclient12-dev..:-) | 10:28 |
| fabbione | why my gf has to be late EVERY time | 10:29 |
| fabbione | "i will be back at home max at 10pm"... | 10:30 |

| lamont | mdz: iirc, he was really bitching about that tool later, since it horribly misapplied a fewl.. | 10:36 |
| mdz | well, never mind then :-) | 10:36 |

| lamont | it was late, but we feared elmo would get violent...:-) | 10:36 |
| elmo | mdz: wiggle | 10:38 |

| elmo | I could write a fricking thesis on how evil that patch was | 10:39 |

| Mithrandir | I'd prefer not to see depwaits. | 10:44 |
| Mithrandir | I didn't get any no, just the ones you bounced to me | 10:44 |
| lamont | ok. You'll get failures that are beyond the automated handling, as well as successes, iirc. | 10:44 |

| elmo | meh | 10:46 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: you get them. | 10:49 |
| Mithrandir | yup, I see that | 10:49 |

| Mithrandir | that's nice | 10:49 |
| === lamont thinks that was what elmo's "meh" was about.. | ||
| elmo | no, the meh-ing is about random buildd log pimpage.. but I can't complain since it's my fault it's not fixed yet properly | 10:51 |
| elmo | (well and thom's.. can't forget to blame thom) | 10:51 |
