| Kamion | mdz: gah, we clashed on discover1-data :) | 01:43 |
| Kamion | I'll do another upload, I had seven more PCI IDs to add for forcedeth | 01:44 |
| elmo_ | pcmcia-cs -> ship? like huh? | 01:48 |
| Kamion | elmo_: like yeah | 01:48 |
| Kamion | elmo_: hw-detect installs it if you actually have PCMCIA | 01:48 |
| bob2 | I don't think it's that smart | 01:49 |

| bob2 | it installed it on my ibook which has no slots | 01:49 |
| sivang | who is responsible to the ubuntu-sounds pkg? lamont? | 01:50 |
| elmo_ | as opposed to what | 01:50 |
| Kamion | bob2: bet you have /sys/class/pcmcia_socket/ though | 01:50 |
| bob2 | Kamion: ah, I do indeed | 01:51 |
| sivang | such cool sounds. especially the gnome bootplash sound | 01:51 |
| bob2 | Kamion: is that a kernel bug? | 01:51 |
| Kamion | bob2: go have a long talk with your kernel then ;) | 01:51 |
| Kamion | bob2: dunno, could be | 01:51 |
| Kamion | bob2: maybe there really are slots internally | 01:51 |
| Kamion | sivang: look at the Maintainer: field ... | 01:52 |
| sivang | Kamion : oh right.. | 01:52 |
| bob2 | heh, I could belive apple did weird shit like that | 01:52 |
| sivang | ah! hooray for Nathanial! | 01:53 |
| Kamion | elmo_: anyway, yeah, mdz and I argued this out and agreed this was best, since you so aren't going to upgrade a machine to have PCMCIA when it didn't before | 01:53 |
| bob2 | are end-users encouraged to file bugs themselves or discuss it on a list first (ie Debian vs Subversion modes)? | 01:53 |
| sivang | Kamion : that install went more swiftly than the previous I Had. after I fixed /etc/fstab and excluded from fsck, everything runs fast and sound :-) | 01:54 |

| mdz | Kamion: re: discover1-data, I was going to do another upload to sync up with the kernel anyway, thanks | 01:57 |
| mdz | Kamion: regarding ntfs resize, how much of a hack is the partman enhancement? | 01:59 |
| mdz | Kamion: anything we should look at for Warty? | 01:59 |
| Kamion | mdz: hacktastic | 02:00 |
| Kamion | mdz: not proven to work yet AFAIK | 02:00 |
| elmo_ | kamion: I don't understand still - where was it before? | 02:02 |
| elmo_ | anyway, sorry doesn't matter I can stop being lazy and look myself | 02:02 |
| Kamion | elmo_: base | 02:03 |
| Kamion | elmo_: it used to be installed on every system, even desktops without PCMCIA | 02:03 |
| Kamion | moving it to ship means we can apply detection to it | 02:03 |
| Kamion | mdz: anton's hacks often need a certain amount of polishing before they're production-ready :-) | 02:04 |
| Kamion | joeyh normally does that ... | 02:04 |
| npmccallum | sivang: thanks :) | 02:04 |
| mdz | sounds like hoary material | 02:05 |
| sivang | npmccallum : you put out some nifty sounds package! Did you make the sounds with a synth or are they gnome's ? | 02:05 |
| Kamion | mdz: my inclination at the moment is to wait even though it's a nifty feature | 02:05 |
| npmccallum | sivang: mixture of a synth and actual recordings | 02:06 |
| Kamion | people can always use partition magic or whatever | 02:06 |
| sivang | npmccallum : hand made by you? | 02:06 |
| npmccallum | sivang: yes | 02:06 |
| sivang | npmccallum : superb :-) | 02:06 |
| npmccallum | sivang: thanks, though the phone sound and the card shuffling sound are from gnome. You can't much improve on them | 02:07 |
| sivang | npmccallum : i really like to gnome bootsplash sound. so calming ;) | 02:08 |
| npmccallum | sivang: thanks | 02:08 |
| sivang | npmccallum : are you a musician at days when you're not hacking ubuntu ? | 02:08 |
| npmccallum | sivang: though I have to say, just about anything would be an improvement on most of the sounds in gnome-audio | 02:08 |

| npmccallum | sivang: I'm a musician at night when I'm not hacking during the day :) | 02:09 |
| sivang | npmccallum : well, I havn't heared such a nice splash theme in some time now....:) | 02:09 |
| npmccallum | sivang: I haven't had so much praise in some time now ;) | 02:10 |
| sivang | no, I really like it. as opposed to every single sound theme I checked in the past year on gnome/kde | 02:13 |
| sivang | either they were too noisy, | 02:14 |
| sivang | or didn't make a difference. | 02:14 |
| sivang | KDE's default window close sound is something of a bug material I think :-) | 02:14 |
| Kamion | mdz: I'd be happy to deal with #1872, it's not particularly amd64-specific | 02:14 |
| mdz | Kamion: you have more than your share of RC bugs already, I think; I'd prefer that you hand amd64 stuff off to tollef so that you can work on other things, unless it's trivial and you're touching that package anyway | 02:17 |
| Kamion | mdz: fair enough, discover1-data was to hand that's all :) | 02:17 |
| Kamion | well, followed up to that bug asking for more info anyway | 02:17 |
| sivang | mdz : I'd like to take some RC bug reproduction and investigation work, if it's possible :) if you have anything you'd wanted someone to look at, please let me know. | 02:20 |

| jdub | can you exclude a file from diff.gz generation? | 02:26 |
| jdub | i have a file with bollocks changes that can't be easily cleaned, so i want to ignore it | 02:27 |
| Kamion | dpkg-buildpackage -i<regexp> | 02:28 |
| Kamion | look at the top of /usr/bin/dpkg-source for the default regexp, you'll need to copy it and append to it; you can put defaults for debuild in ~/.devscripts to avoid figuring out the regexp every time | 02:28 |
| lamont | Kamion: if debconf asked all the questions before, does it even run config on a reconfigure? | 02:33 |
| Kamion | lamont: config is always run | 02:33 |
| === lamont expects 'yes' | ||
| lamont | ok. | 02:33 |
| lamont | more pondering tonight. sigh. | 02:33 |
| Kamion | debconf does not even consider whether it might have asked all the questions, since in general it can't know that | 02:34 |
| lamont | ok | 02:34 |
| Kamion | due to config being programmatically arbitrarily complex | 02:34 |
| === lamont is tired. almost thinking correctly | ||
| lamont | (forget I asked that...) | 02:34 |
| Kamion | mdz: is #1683 really RC? there are probably quite a number of these issues for various languages that need to be looked at in some detail | 02:34 |

| lamont | Kamion: do you have a cookbook for rolling i386 install CD's? | 02:39 |
| === lamont fears he will need to do that to resolve the postfix bugs | ||
| jdub | Kamion: so i can't put smoething in debian/rules? | 02:40 |
| lamont | seb128 about? | 02:42 |
| Kamion | jdub: rm it in debian/rules clean? | 02:58 |
| jdub | i kinda thought that might affect the diff, but it seems the removal will be ignored | 02:59 |
| jdub | thanks | 02:59 |
| Kamion | lamont: drop in new .deb; edit dists/warty/main/binary-i386/Packages with new Version:, Filename:, MD5sum:, Size:; gzip -c dists/warty/main/binary-i386/Packages > dists/warty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz; edit dists/warty/Release with new md5sums and sizes for Packages and Packages.gz | 02:59 |

| Kamion | sivang: after fixing the CHS warning using the directions provided in the bug, if you could try the referenced CD image and verify that it does not make the CHS warning come back, that would be good | 03:18 |
| sivang | Kamion : i will, however it didn't damage my fat32 installation, but it'd be better to fix that I guess. | 03:20 |

| mdz | fabbione: if he is using the binary from debian, and you know exactly where it is crashing, you can disassemble the debian binary | 07:20 |
| fabbione | mdz: it says in the gdb.txt | 07:21 |
| fabbione | it crashes at line 417 of nv_hw.c | 07:21 |
| fabbione | that the code i did show you before | 07:21 |

| fabbione | but i can check again | 07:23 |
| fabbione | how do you suggest to debug? | 07:23 |
| fabbione | s/debug/disassemble | 07:23 |
| mdz | use gdb | 07:25 |
| mdz | disassemble <function> or disassemble <line> | 07:25 |
| mdz | or <memory location> | 07:25 |
| fabbione | ah so i still need to ask him to do so | 07:25 |
| mdz | nah, you can do it on your binary | 07:26 |
| mdz | it is the same code | 07:26 |
| fabbione | do you know how to read i386 assembly? I know m68k upside down... | 07:29 |
| mdz | I can read some | 07:31 |
| mdz | enough to find problems usually | 07:31 |
| mdz | if you have the gdb output from the user, it should show the exact address of the crash | 07:31 |

| m_tthew | fabbione: I will try with the ATI card asap | 09:20 |
| fabbione | m_tthew: ok.. great! | 09:21 |
| m_tthew | fabbione: ATI is non-trivial because I have to cannabilize my desktop for the test setup | 09:21 |
| m_tthew | fabbione: MGA has no 3d, it is a very old card | 09:21 |

| fabbione | m_tthew: thanks | 09:22 |
| daniels | fabbione: do you have an updated ati_drv, or do we need the entire server package? | 09:22 |
| fabbione | daniels: the problem is not the ati driver | 09:22 |
| fabbione | it has been reported that X crashes when nvidia-glx is installed | 09:23 |
| daniels | oh | 09:23 |
| fabbione | even without using the nvidia driver | 09:23 |
| daniels | yeah | 09:23 |
| fabbione | so it's not really a question of newer ati driver | 09:23 |
| daniels | doesn't it divert away libglcore/libglx? | 09:23 |
| fabbione | but as a general mess | 09:23 |
| pitti | jdub: what do you think about uploading the utopia crack now? | 09:23 |
| daniels | if so, that will break anything that loads them and expects normal libglcore/libglx | 09:23 |

| fabbione | daniels: you should check the package | 09:24 |
| fabbione | daniels: but the point is that i can run it ok, like many other people around | 09:24 |

| daniels | hm | 09:25 |
| daniels | might download that while I'm in the shower | 09:25 |
| daniels | but yeah, if it diverts libglx (which I'm pretty sure it does), we're in deep trouble | 09:25 |
| daniels | since it's not going to be the ABI that the other drivers were built with | 09:25 |
| daniels | what we need is a wrapper around X that reads the config file and diverts on the fly to whichever one is appropriate ;) | 09:26 |

| thom | morning | 10:39 |
| seb128 | hello thom | 10:40 |
| seb128 | daniels: patches in debian/patches for GNOME packages please | 10:40 |
| thom | seb128: got anything more you'd like me to test with nautilus? :-) | 10:40 |
| seb128 | the changes in the diff.gz are a pain | 10:40 |
| mdz | fabbione: what is your opinion on #1878? | 10:40 |
| seb128 | thom: re a bug report ? | 10:40 |
| mdz | seb128: the nautilus-cd-burner thing, I assume | 10:41 |
| seb128 | I was thinking to that too, but not sure | 10:41 |
| seb128 | thom: gnome-vfs guy is pretty surprised that gnomevfs-info gives the same result with FAST and SLOW for mime detection | 10:41 |
| seb128 | are you sure you patched it right ? :) | 10:42 |
| seb128 | they are thinking to a problem with one or the 2 detections, but since the 2 versions seems to return the right information with gnomevfs-info ... | 10:42 |
| fabbione | mdz: we knew that via can't be probed. Either we ban probing in xresprobe or we backport the driver, but the latter won't get enough testing before release | 10:44 |
| mdz | fabbione: daniels suggested not only skipping the probe, but forcing vesa. does that seem correct to you? | 10:45 |
| fabbione | mdz: hmmmm | 10:49 |
| thom | seb128: i'm pretty sure, unless the build does crackful things :-) | 10:49 |
| fabbione | mdz: i am not happy to force vesa | 10:50 |
| seb128 | thom: ok | 10:50 |
| fabbione | mdz: i much rather prefer to ask teh resolution question | 10:50 |
| fabbione | mdz: we did try already to force vesa if gfx card probe fails and we have seen that it is not good | 10:50 |
| seb128 | thom: I'll talk again with gnomevfs guys and probably ping you with a small test case after that :) | 10:51 |
| thom | seb128: sure it's not nautilus screwing up? :-) | 10:52 |
| thom | ok | 10:52 |
| seb128 | thom: the mime are handled in the gnomevfs level, there is not real reason for nautilus to act in a different way, but I'll check | 10:53 |
| thom | fair enough | 10:54 |
| mdz | fabbione: so it is only the probe which fails, and the X server running normally should not crash? | 11:02 |
| fabbione | mdz: there are 2 bugs in the via drive | 11:09 |
| fabbione | 1) it does not store panel information in the bios that means that probing will never be succesful | 11:10 |
| fabbione | 2) if probed when X is running it would crash X | 11:10 |
| mdz | if skipping the probe means that their X server will still crash, then we should use vesa | 11:10 |
| mdz | if it will not crash, we can stay with via | 11:10 |
| fabbione | mdz: if we do NOT probe, there is no problem | 11:10 |
| fabbione | the 2 bugs above are in case of probe | 11:11 |
| mdz | fabbione: ok, then, let's just skip the probe but still use the driver | 11:11 |
| fabbione | mdz: that's what it should be already | 11:11 |
| fabbione | i explicitly remove the probe ban on the via chipset because daniels told me that xresprobe should take care of it | 11:11 |
| fabbione | and xresprobe shouldn't be probing via afaik | 11:12 |
| fabbione | so yes. we use the driver, we don't probe and we ask for resolution | 11:12 |
| fabbione | that's the best path | 11:12 |
| fabbione | and it is the same as like everything else (given a failed probe) | 11:12 |
| mdz | fabbione: xresprobe is definitely probing via, that's #1878 | 11:13 |
| fabbione | the day that we will switch to X.org it will be enough to remove the ban | 11:13 |
| fabbione | bah | 11:14 |
| fabbione | daniels: that's not what we agreed | 11:14 |
| fabbione | well i will write in the bug | 11:14 |

| Mithrandir | elmo_: is there any way I could acess the morgue? I have a fun problem to track down (1854) | 12:03 |
| elmo_ | Mithrandir: ask me/thom for what you need? or do you need the whole thing particularly? | 12:06 |
| Mithrandir | elmo_: I'd like something like snapshot.d.n to see if I can track it down with a binary search.. | 12:06 |
| Mithrandir | but given that we don't have that in place, I can try to pull selected debs by hand. | 12:07 |
| elmo_ | well, you can't have that :P (unless you implement it) but you can have access to the morgue I guess | 12:07 |
| elmo_ | the rhona dir is date based, but there's no Packages/Sources files like with ssnapshot | 12:07 |

| fabbione | we have approx 14 days to close the others | 01:30 |
| fabbione | that's hard | 01:30 |
| Kamion | mdz: not getting a whole lot of feedback on this parted thing; just lots of people saying that the preview worked for them | 01:30 |
| thom | oh, that php4 one looks joyous | 01:30 |
| mdz | Kamion: yeah, I think the original issue was a bit inflated | 01:30 |
| Kamion | well, no, I agree it was a major issue | 01:30 |
| mdz | well, it was painted as "installing alongside XP fucks the partition table" | 01:31 |
| Kamion | I think everybody acknowledged it wasn't broken on all systems; it depends on your BIOS settings and indeed on the make of your BIOS | 01:31 |
| mdz | and it seems to be much more narrow than that | 01:31 |
| Kamion | it's a system-specific thing, but it's *very* bad on the systems where it's broken | 01:31 |

| pitti | sjoerd: but I tested today's cvs head, this seems to work; is your patch already included? | 03:02 |
| pitti | sjoerd: I already debugged the code to the point you patched away; the last_hotplug_seqnum was nonsense | 03:03 |

| pitti | sjoerd: I did not test this very extensively, it just worked at the first time after hal restart | 03:08 |
| pitti | sjoerd: OTOH, it also seems to work some times with the current hal (0.2.98) | 03:08 |
| pitti | sjoerd: so I guess this is sort of a race condition and it is not really fixed in CVS HEAD | 03:08 |

| seb128 | daniels: the changes are pretty easy to get out of the diff for the next upload :) But when you have a bunch of patches mixed here that's a pain | 04:36 |
| daniels | fabbione: the two choices are either blanket via->vesa mapping in xserver-xfree86, or via->vesa in discover1-data | 04:36 |

| thom | thankee | 04:43 |
| thom | seems to work, too | 04:44 |
| Kamion | thom: you'll get a weird broken upload from this machine, hope you don't mind, it's a via so installation breaks with the xresprobe bug | 04:45 |
| Kamion | thom: did that work? | 04:45 |
| daniels | thom: i'm not near an ubuntu machine atm | 04:45 |
| daniels | Kamion: can you start X at all -- is it X breaking, or the extra probe breaking (a la i8550? | 04:46 |
| daniels | s/8550/855)/ | 04:46 |
| Kamion | daniels: so just type 'X', you mean? | 04:46 |
| thom | Kamion: yep, ta | 04:48 |
| daniels | Kamion: startx, yah (assuming you have a halfway valid XF86Config-4 which lists the via driver) | 04:48 |
| Kamion | sec | 04:48 |
| daniels | arse, something tells me `signfile' won't be installed on suse | 04:50 |
| Kamion | daniels: it's kind of hard to tell because it breaks while it's trying to write XF86Config-4 :P | 04:50 |
| daniels | Kamion: heh :) you can just copy one out from OH MY GOD | 04:50 |
| daniels | (any working system) | 04:50 |
| Kamion | I have working systems? | 04:50 |
| thom | auckland (archive|cdimage) is doing a GB/min currently. that's awesome | 04:50 |
| Kamion | I'll just nobble the xresprobe call | 04:50 |
| daniels | this is a jackie chan movie that I think I would made if I smoked a beer bong and then drank all the water. | 04:50 |
| daniels | it is the most incredibly bizzare thing I've ever seen in my life, and I've used yast | 04:50 |
| daniels | thom: ! | 04:51 |
| daniels | thom: doesn't that mean we're maxing out our ... what the hell? ... link? | 04:51 |
| Kamion | daniels: startx breaks | 04:52 |
| daniels | Kamion: huzzah. | 04:52 |
| Kamion | oh, oh, no, startx comes back to a prompt | 04:52 |
| daniels | Kamion: mind if I quote you on BTS? | 04:52 |
| daniels | (oh my god, Jackie Chan in a schoolgirl outfit as Chun-Li) | 04:52 |
| Kamion | it's really hard to tell, not sure I'm reproducing everything properly | 04:52 |
| Kamion | [drm] failed to load kernel module "via" | 04:53 |
| Kamion | relevant? | 04:53 |
| daniels | non-fatal | 04:53 |
| daniels | if the driver's that flakey, it deserves to be locked in a room with Lazarus Long | 04:53 |
| Kamion | you can have the log file if you like | 04:53 |
| daniels | nah, it's OK thanks | 04:53 |
| Kamion | but the symptoms of 'startx' are similar until it comes back to a prompt - screen goes blacker, fan pitch rises | 04:54 |
| Kamion | yeah, feel free to quote me wherever | 04:54 |
| daniels | Kamion: thanks | 04:54 |
| Kamion | daniels: do you need the xresprobe debugging stuff mdz suggested? | 04:54 |
| Kamion | I'll happily give that a go | 04:54 |
| daniels | Kamion: not really; if the driver is total arse under X, then it needs to be blacklisted totally | 04:55 |
| Kamion | ok | 04:55 |
| Kamion | suppose I should try the other Via machine here ... | 04:55 |
| daniels | is that laptop or desktop? | 04:56 |
| Kamion | laptop | 04:56 |
| daniels | it's probably broken also | 04:57 |

| pitti | Hi npmccallum | 05:04 |
| daniels | pitti: welcome to a heisenbug :) probably gcc optimising out the file opening code or something to save space | 05:05 |
| pitti | daniels: so gcc optimized in a segfault? Nice. | 05:05 |
| daniels | Kamion: it's not urgent; as I said, if the driver really is that broken, we shouldn't be using it in X at all, although more data points are always nice (if not essential) :) | 05:06 |
| daniels | pitti: file = open("foo", rw); file->stuff(); | 05:06 |
| daniels | pitti: to file->stuff() | 05:06 |
| daniels | pitti: you don't need to waste time on this whole opening the file thing | 05:06 |
| T-Bone | lol | 05:06 |
| pitti | daniels: thanks. It was only meant as a rhetorical question anyway :-/ | 05:07 |
| T-Bone | Kamion: what should be my starting point in building an installer for ia64 (assuming I have an archive ready)? | 05:08 |
| pitti | daniels: it could be worth a try to compile with symbols, but optimize | 05:08 |
| daniels | pitti: -g3 -O2 | 05:08 |
| T-Bone | pitti: alternatively you can try to compile with symbols, then strip them out ;) | 05:08 |
| Kamion | T-Bone: get all the udebs built, backport linux-kernel-di-ia64-2.6 from Debian, try to build debian-installer | 05:08 |
| pitti | T-Bone: I don't think that the symbols spoil the show, I think it's the optimization | 05:09 |
| T-Bone | pitti: that way you'll be sure of it | 05:09 |
| Kamion | T-Bone: I can probably upload a version of debian-installer with a bit of ia64 support, otherwise try to merge the general spirit of i386/amd64/powerpc in Ubuntu debian-installer with the specifics of ia64 in Debian debian-installer | 05:09 |
| T-Bone | Kamion: ok. I have a couple of builder issues to solve in the meantime tho, but I'll follow these lines | 05:10 |
| npmccallum | pitti: hi :) | 05:11 |
| Kamion | T-Bone: just mailed mdz/jdub asking for approval to upload non-risky d-i ia64 changes | 05:13 |
| T-Bone | Kamion: thx | 05:14 |
| T-Bone | Kamion: i'm stuck with some gcc-3.4 building troubles that i'm currently tweaking to get done, as soon as I can have a working gcc-3.4 i'll be able to bootstrap stage2, aka "warty built on warty". | 05:14 |
| T-Bone | the fact is that gcc-3.4 is so damn SLOW to build | 05:15 |

| Mithrandir | T-Bone: where can I collect it? ;) | 05:24 |
| T-Bone | Mithrandir: I'll find a way ;) | 05:25 |
| T-Bone | Mithrandir: btw, is it normal that when running dpkg-buildpackage, the package rewrites its own control file? | 05:25 |
| Mithrandir | not too common, no, but glibc and gcc does it at least. | 05:25 |
| Mithrandir | they're kinda special | 05:25 |
| Mithrandir | look in debian/control.in/ probably | 05:25 |
| Mithrandir | for fragments | 05:26 |
| T-Bone | this is pissing me off, cause I have an unmet dependency i'm trying to work around | 05:26 |
| azeem | all those packages using type-handling also do this, AFAIK | 05:26 |
| Kamion | it's not unknown, linux-kernel-di-* do that too | 05:26 |
| T-Bone | i've changed it in the control file, but i guess that it'll be problematic if gcc erase it, when the package will actually be built? | 05:26 |
| azeem | I used to do that in one of my library packages to automatically write the correct library package name from the soname in configure.in | 05:27 |
| T-Bone | is there a way for me to "properly" change a build dependency? | 05:27 |
| Keybuk | T-Bone: edit debian/control or debian/control.in ? | 05:27 |
| T-Bone | Keybuk: as i said, debian/control gets overwritten. There's a control.m4 tho. | 05:27 |

| lamont | Kamion: still about? | 08:23 |
| Kamion | lamont: sure | 08:24 |
| lamont | is there a way to ask debconf if it would ask a question, or just looking at the return from input? | 08:25 |
| Mithrandir | look at the seen flag? | 08:25 |
| lamont | I'm thinking of noticing that things are bad in the first config run, and deferring questions that weren't asked until run 2 (where they still won't be asked, but the default value will then be correct...) | 08:26 |
| lamont | Kamion: and could I get your debootstrap/whatever change (seen flag)? | 08:26 |
| Kamion | lamont: bug #1781 | 08:26 |
| Kamion | what I still want to know is *why* are things bad in the first run? | 08:27 |
| lamont | Kamion: because the defaults are based on system state, not hard coded. | 08:27 |
| Kamion | mdz: mind if I upload the debootstrap half of #1781? it's harmless on its own and will make testing easier | 08:27 |
| lamont | and said state isn't there... | 08:27 |
| Kamion | lamont: system state *should* be sane at that point though | 08:27 |
| lamont | uid 1000 isn't created by the first run, so we decide to use 'NONE' for the default. | 08:28 |
| Kamion | aha! | 08:28 |
| Kamion | right, that explains a lot | 08:28 |
| lamont | so I need to decide to do that one over.. :-) | 08:28 |
| lamont | and then I'll calculate a good default, and we still won't actually ask the user, and life is good. | 08:28 |
| Kamion | mdz: approval to restore mta configuration step to base-config based on what lamont just said? | 08:28 |
| Kamion | (won't introduce a new question, just a dpkg-reconfigure) | 08:29 |
| lamont | Kamion: alternatively, the same code that adds uid 1000 to sudoers could add the root alias and run newaliases... | 08:31 |
| Kamion | that's possible too, although would prefer not to duplicate code if possible | 08:31 |
| lamont | actually, my code is based on _not_ finding a root alias in the map, and picking a default, whereas the baseconfig code would be just 'add this user' | 08:32 |
| Kamion | I guess it would be less complex | 08:32 |

| npmccallum | Mithrandir: its all listed in the bug | 08:44 |

| npmccallum | Kamion: howto fix then? | 08:46 |

| Kamion | I can't reproduce any problem with mgetty ... | 08:49 |

| Kamion | npmccallum: those changes aren't a problem, closing, you can upload the source package like that safely | 08:58 |
| Kamion | it's normal for po-debconf to fiddle with .po files, sometimes when timestamps change and things; the Debian maintainer will probably pick up the same change eventually | 08:58 |

| pitti | Hi again! | 10:11 |
| mjg59 | sabdfl: It's got the best chance of working of any suspend mechanism, at the moment | 10:11 |
| mjg59 | The 2.6 implementation is pretty solid on the hardware it works on. It's fairly slow, though. | 10:11 |
| sivang | mjg59v : what steps are needed to enable it onto a already installed ubuntu laptop system? | 10:16 |
| sivang | mjg59 : just install the package? | 10:17 |
| mjg59 | sivang: Heh. I'd have a better idea if I had an ubuntu laptop system :) | 10:19 |
| mjg59 | In principle, echo -n 4 >/proc/acpi/sleep | 10:19 |
| thom | kernel patch too, no? (i've no idea what we have and don't have past standard 2.6.8.1 + latest stable acpi) | 10:19 |
| npmccallum | thom: I don't think swsusp is in the kernel | 10:20 |
| mjg59 | swsusp is part of the standard kernel.org kernel - I don't know if we build it, though | 10:21 |
| mjg59 | There's probably no harm in doing so... | 10:21 |
| thom | grep -r SUSP /boot/config-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-k8 | 10:21 |
| thom | # CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is not set | 10:21 |
| sivang | mjg59 : the support is completely kernlish? no user mode utils? | 10:22 |
| npmccallum | thom: should we file a bug to get it turned on? | 10:22 |
| thom | npmccallum: i'd prefer not for warty at this point | 10:23 |
| thom | we can't support it, really | 10:23 |

| npmccallum | thom: we can file a bug now with target milestone for hoary (thats what I was referring to) | 10:55 |
| thom | oh, sure | 10:55 |
| thom | i think there is one alreayd | 10:55 |
| npmccallum | ok, cool | 10:55 |
| npmccallum | the bug could be more general too, "Suspend doesn't work" :) | 10:56 |
| mdz | thom: yes, I did | 11:13 |
