| hornbeck | Is there a way for me to convert my daily system to use all the default artwork? | 12:09 |
|---|---|---|
| sabdfl | hornbeck: right click on the desktop, and select the Ubuntu Default Desktop | 12:16 |
| hornbeck | it just did it by its self | 12:16 |
| hornbeck | crashed my x for some reason | 12:17 |
| hornbeck | than came back up with the new artwork | 12:17 |
| hornbeck | who are the people? | 12:17 |
| sabdfl | models | 12:17 |
| hornbeck | figured | 12:18 |
| sabdfl | the default desktop for new installs has the ubuntu logo | 12:18 |
| hornbeck | yeah I have it up | 12:18 |
| hornbeck | nice brown | 12:18 |
| hornbeck | I like it | 12:18 |
| sabdfl | but the preview had the calendar selected, so everyone who had the preview and even looked at the desktop options, gets the calendar now | 12:18 |
| hornbeck | man for some reason when it crashed it launched another x display | 12:19 |
| hornbeck | hmm | 12:19 |
| sivang | we need to tell them somewhere that more is available | 12:19 |
| sivang | more artwork, that is | 12:20 |
| hornbeck | wiki? | 12:20 |
| sivang | for instance :) | 12:21 |
| sivang | there needs be readme like doc on the wiki I suppose. to explain how to get over certain quirks that might get fixed or noticed on the release. | 12:21 |
| hornbeck | yeah | 12:22 |
| hornbeck | we need to just figure out a way to organize the wiki alittle better | 12:22 |
| hornbeck | need a sitemap on it | 12:22 |
| amu | sabdfl: congratulats to the idea with the pics :) | 12:22 |
| sivang | yes, we do. firstly, the documentation areas needs to become the documentation develop area, | 12:22 |
| sivang | as it's more of a collectiong of docs and stuff. I am going to organize the /UDP page, | 12:23 |
| sivang | so it will look more as a starting point for people seeking the latest documetation which is not on *.ubuntu.com | 12:23 |
| hornbeck | I think we should have one main page for docs that links off to new docs | 12:23 |
| sivang | (yet) | 12:23 |
| hornbeck | well at least we agreed on that | 12:24 |
| sivang | ok cool. | 12:24 |
| sabdfl | amu: thank you | 12:24 |
| hornbeck | sivang do you want to start putting that together | 12:24 |
| hornbeck | sivang we need to do a site survay to see where all the docs are | 12:25 |
| sivang | I'm on to it \ | 12:25 |
| hornbeck | ok | 12:25 |
| sivang | yes | 12:25 |
| sabdfl | but let's wait for the full response | 12:25 |
| sivang | everybody, please let us know if this is annoying the RC stuff here..:) | 12:25 |
| sivang | we might do it on #ubuntu-docs | 12:26 |
| sivang | :) | 12:27 |
| hornbeck | I think we are fine right now | 12:27 |
| hornbeck | sivang: did you see the new start page for firefox? | 12:28 |
| sivang | hornbeck : yes I did, mark sent me the final. | 12:28 |
| hornbeck | cool | 12:29 |
| sivang | hornbeck : however, it doesn't include the gfx, what's on there gfx wise? | 12:29 |
| hornbeck | sivang: just the logo at the top | 12:29 |
| hornbeck | we need to get some how-tos for the site also | 12:29 |
| sivang | cool | 12:29 |
| hornbeck | or tutorials that is | 12:30 |
| sivang | agreed | 12:30 |
| sivang | however, we might want to save all this decisions for until the meeting? | 12:30 |
| hornbeck | I am making a list of things to bring up at the meeting | 12:30 |
| sivang | so a larger crowd would attend and comment, suggest, take up tasks etc? what do you think? | 12:30 |
| hornbeck | stuff I think needs to be done | 12:30 |
| sivang | great | 12:30 |
| hornbeck | I am just thinking outload :) | 12:31 |
| sivang | send over when done. | 12:31 |
| hornbeck | did you ever get tomboy working? | 12:31 |
| hornbeck | cause it is all in tomboy notes | 12:31 |
| sivang | I did on the laptop, | 12:31 |
| sivang | I'll install it here. | 12:31 |
| hornbeck | ok, so would you rather a ooo file | 12:31 |
| sivang | why not it's already installed here :) | 12:32 |
| hornbeck | ok | 12:32 |
| sivang | 2.49 eta for RC testing... | 12:32 |
| hornbeck | I am so happy people have keep with my format on the hardware support | 12:34 |

| sivang | can anybody tell if I might get better throughput using rsync instead of the torrent? | 12:51 |
| Mithrandir | sivang: probably rather the other way around | 12:52 |
| hornbeck | sivang: notes on ideas on the way. | 12:52 |
| hornbeck | tomboy really needs a export function | 12:52 |
| sivang | hornbeck : thanks | 12:52 |
| hornbeck | no prob | 12:52 |
| sivang | Mithrandir : you mean rsync is better? Looks like it, the torrent only use 50% of my bandwidth | 12:53 |
| Mithrandir | sivang: no, the torrent should be better. | 12:53 |
| sivang | Mithrandir : I've had better results with the rsync untill now. maybe the torrents have dropped (I've used to get those at 98Kb/s) due to heavy load. | 12:54 |
| Mithrandir | the torrents should go up with load, not doewn | 12:55 |
| Mithrandir | s/doewn/down/ | 12:56 |
| sivang | oh right, cause you have more uploaded.. | 12:56 |
| Mithrandir | yup | 12:56 |
| sivang | upstream seeds | 12:58 |
| hornbeck | I added the info about the doc meeting to my blog | 01:03 |
| hornbeck | since I know there are some ubuntu users who read it | 01:03 |
| hornbeck | opps that was supposed to be pm to sivang | 01:04 |

| fabbione | mdz: portmap. i can upload it, but didn't you have the packages already? | 05:25 |
| mdz | fabbione: yes, I have a .changes ready to upload | 05:26 |
| fabbione | mdz: i decided to stay another day here at the old house and have the office on the floor | 05:26 |
| fabbione | mdz: it will give my ISP another day to fix the adsl line at the new house | 05:26 |
| mdz | ah | 05:26 |
| fabbione | mdz: do you want me to do another .changes or will you upload it directly? | 05:26 |
| fabbione | mdz: in anycase tomorrow i must move out. either to the new house or to the other office | 05:27 |
| mdz | fabbione: I thought it might be good to wait some time after the RC before uploading new packages | 05:27 |
| fabbione | mdz: make sence | 05:27 |
| fabbione | mdz: but we need to get these new packages tested as well | 05:28 |
| mdz | fabbione: but on the other hand, I would like for it to get as much testing as possible before final | 05:28 |
| mdz | :-) | 05:28 |
| fabbione | mdz: i think you should upload it | 05:28 |
| mdz | fabbione: I think we are both very confident that it does not break the desktop | 05:28 |
| fabbione | mdz: i am confident | 05:28 |
| mdz | my only concern is users who are running NFS and such | 05:28 |
| fabbione | desktop is working fine here | 05:28 |

| fabbione | mdz: it's ok.. blame bugzilla that deleted all the nice report i did yesterday | 05:29 |
| mdz | I wrote some notes in bugzilla | 05:29 |
| mdz | fabbione: justdave fixed that, by the way | 05:29 |
| fabbione | mdz: yup | 05:29 |
| mdz | fabbione: do you think there is any _simple_ way we can make the NFS server Just Work if the user installs it? | 05:29 |
| mdz | I guess the answer is, "wait for hoary" | 05:30 |
| mdz | when hopefully we can get rid of fam, and follow the plan I outlined in bugzilla | 05:30 |
| mdz | jdub: what are the odds on replacing fam for Hoary? | 05:30 |
| fabbione | yes i read the comments | 05:30 |
| fabbione | i agree with them | 05:30 |
| mdz | gamin seems to be active | 05:31 |
| mdz | so hopefully it will be a viable option | 05:31 |
| mdz | ok, I guess I will upload | 05:31 |
| fabbione | i mean.. who implements a nfs server has at least a minimum knowledge of filysystems | 05:31 |

| fabbione | mdz: too bad for them :-))) | 05:31 |
| mdz | daniels: we have a list of serious issues to deal with; let's leave trivial items for Hoary | 05:32 |
| fabbione | daniels: what GetModeLine? the 099l ?? | 05:32 |

| mdz | fabbione: do you have tiff prepared? | 05:54 |
| fabbione | there are a lot of noisy bits like changelog, CHANGESETS, TODO | 05:54 |
| fabbione | mdz: i woke up when i said goodmorning here | 05:55 |
| mdz | ah | 05:55 |
| fabbione | mdz: i am going to do it after we discuss the diff | 05:55 |
| fabbione | it won't take too long since the patches are in bugzilla | 05:55 |
| fabbione | don't worry about it | 05:55 |
| fabbione | i only have one pending change to the FAQ | 05:58 |
| fabbione | but i guess that's not an issue ;) | 05:58 |
| mdz | the doc updates of course I have no problem with | 05:59 |
| mdz | we need to talk about xkb, v4l and #2328 | 05:59 |
| mdz | I read #2328, but from only the bug, it is impossible to tell either the problem or the fix :-) | 05:59 |
| fabbione | ok | 05:59 |
| fabbione | mdz: 2328 is a simple fix | 06:00 |
| fabbione | it's at the end of the diff | 06:00 |
| mdz | it is hard to see with such a long line; what is the change? | 06:00 |
| fabbione | - db_get xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/mode-list | 06:00 |
| fabbione | + if [ -n "MAXRES" ] ; then | 06:00 |
| fabbione | + RET="MAXRES" | 06:00 |
| fabbione | + else | 06:00 |
| fabbione | + db_get xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/mode-list | 06:00 |
| fabbione | mdz: is in xserver-xfree86.postinst.in and .templates | 06:01 |
| mdz | the end of the diff is a template change | 06:01 |
| fabbione | yes and the bit before it | 06:01 |
| fabbione | there are 2 problems basically | 06:01 |
| daniels | fabbione: shouldn't that be $MAXRES? | 06:01 |
| fabbione | daniels: correct | 06:01 |
| daniels | because "MAXRES" will always be strlen() != 0 | 06:01 |
| fabbione | fixed | 06:02 |
| fabbione | mdz: Carlos specific problem is that his resolution | 06:02 |
| fabbione | was not known at @60Hz | 06:02 |
| fabbione | so basically debconf was returning 640x480 @ 60Hz | 06:03 |
| fabbione | as default value | 06:03 |
| fabbione | but this is a specific fix | 06:03 |
| fabbione | reviewing the logic | 06:03 |
| fabbione | i noticed that can happen for all the unknonw resolutions | 06:03 |
| fabbione | now if MAXRES exists it means that we are either probing or guessing | 06:03 |
| fabbione | and it contains the same value as the template (theoretically) | 06:04 |
| mdz | this change is very uncomfortable to me | 06:04 |
| fabbione | mdz: it's simple | 06:04 |
| fabbione | it's difficult to explain | 06:04 |
| mdz | it had one bug already | 06:04 |
| fabbione | mdz: i didn't finish all the tests yet | 06:05 |
| fabbione | it's not like i wouldn't have spot it | 06:05 |
| mdz | the problem with changing anything in the detection logic at this point is that we can never re-test all of the hardware that has been tested | 06:05 |
| mdz | we have had hundreds or thousands of tests at this point | 06:05 |
| fabbione | mdz: it doesn't really change the logic | 06:06 |
| fabbione | it fixes it | 06:06 |
| fabbione | mdz: if you see the script carefully: | 06:06 |
| fabbione | MAXRES = something | 06:06 |
| fabbione | db_set template $MAXRES | 06:06 |
| fabbione | later: | 06:06 |
| fabbione | db_get template | 06:06 |
| mdz | yes... | 06:06 |
| fabbione | and than we compare what's in there with the list | 06:06 |
| fabbione | now | 06:06 |
| fabbione | limitation: | 06:07 |
| fabbione | the template might not be aware of that MAXRES | 06:07 |
| fabbione | debconf returns the default of 640x480 @ 60Hz | 06:07 |
| fabbione | the frequencies detection goes banana | 06:07 |
| fabbione | the if then else fi | 06:07 |
| fabbione | simply avoids a limitation to the debconf template | 06:08 |
| fabbione | and it is not intrusive. | 06:08 |
| mdz | under what circumstances is MAXRES set? | 06:08 |
| fabbione | i am not "growing" the template like i did for the other resolution list | 06:08 |
| fabbione | MAXRES is set only when we cannot detect the frequencies via xresprobe | 06:08 |
| fabbione | # if we are here we did not detect the frequencies, but we have the resolution. | 06:09 |
| fabbione | # get the highest resolution. | 06:09 |
| mdz | so MAXRES is the answer to the mode question | 06:09 |
| mdz | so this changes the behaviour for (potentially) every circumstance where the user is asked the mode question | 06:09 |
| fabbione | nope | 06:10 |
| fabbione | because the mode list is all known and mapped to mode-list | 06:10 |
| fabbione | so if the user is promped for the resolution it can only enter well known values of MAXRES | 06:11 |
| fabbione | that will match later on the values into the frequencies case | 06:11 |
| sivang | i wonder if fixing this would allow high quality displays to do above 100hz freqs :) | 06:11 |
| fabbione | sivang: not in your case | 06:11 |
| fabbione | it's another bug here we are talking about | 06:12 |
| fabbione | mdz: what you need to look at is this: | 06:13 |
| fabbione | # set a sane default for mode-list | 06:13 |
| fabbione | MAXRES="$MAXRES @ 60Hz" | 06:13 |
| fabbione | db_set xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/mode-list "$MAXRES" | 06:13 |
| mdz | yes | 06:13 |
| fabbione | the problem happens only if MAXRES is not known to the template | 06:14 |
| mdz | currently, that falls back to the default in the template if $MAXRES is not in the choices | 06:14 |
| mdz | the default is 1024x768 @ 60 Hz | 06:14 |
| fabbione | mdz: apparently no, if you try to set the template and than db_get | 06:15 |
| fabbione | you get the first value of the list | 06:15 |
| fabbione | that might be a frontend bug | 06:15 |
| mdz | I agree | 06:15 |
| mdz | that is a bad debconf behaviour | 06:15 |
| fabbione | frontend ;) | 06:15 |
| fabbione | does it look too dangerous to you? | 06:17 |
| fabbione | otherwise there is another simple way to implement it | 06:17 |
| fabbione | if that can make you feel better | 06:17 |
| fabbione | i can db_get the template | 06:17 |
| fabbione | if the MAXRES is != null and the 2 are the same than ok | 06:18 |
| fabbione | otherwise prefer MAXRES to db_get | 06:18 |
| fabbione | same effect as you see it in the patch | 06:18 |
| fabbione | kust written in a different way | 06:18 |
| fabbione | s/kust/just/ | 06:18 |
| mdz | here is my concern | 06:19 |
| mdz | well | 06:20 |
| mdz | is there any possibility of this affecting any case other than when 640x480 @ 60Hz would be the result? | 06:20 |
| mdz | how can we test this? | 06:21 |
| fabbione | nope | 06:21 |
| fabbione | mdz: simply asking carlos to test the new package | 06:22 |
| fabbione | he has the testcase ;) | 06:22 |
| mdz | I am not so concerned about the bug | 06:22 |
| fabbione | and just try to reprobe on well known machines | 06:22 |
| mdz | it seems to affect very few people | 06:22 |
| mdz | it is the regression testing | 06:22 |
| fabbione | mdz: well not really a few... | 06:22 |
| mdz | which cases do we need to test for regressions? | 06:22 |
| fabbione | there were a bunch of people having the 640x480 problem | 06:23 |
| mdz | where xresprobe fails? | 06:23 |
| fabbione | mdz: where xresprobe returns a resolution but not a frequency set | 06:23 |
| fabbione | you can even wrap xresprobe to simulate that for you | 06:23 |
| fabbione | just write a bogus sh script to return: | 06:23 |
| fabbione | rabidbt: blabla | 06:24 |
| fabbione | ops | 06:24 |
| fabbione | identifier: blabla | 06:24 |
| fabbione | freq: | 06:24 |
| fabbione | res: 1024x768 | 06:24 |
| fabbione | or something like that | 06:24 |
| fabbione | that will trigger the MAXRES | 06:24 |
| fabbione | but you need to use a not known resolution | 06:24 |
| fabbione | no discard my last comment | 06:24 |
| fabbione | it can be also on well known resolution | 06:25 |
| fabbione | it doesn't really matter | 06:25 |
| lamont | mdz: looks like the preview set calendar as the default, so anyone upgrading a preview to current bits gets people. | 06:25 |
| mdz | lamont: if that is happening to _anyone_ who upgrades from preview, there is a new and interesting bug somewhere | 06:26 |
| mdz | it is known to happen to anyone who even breathed on the background preferences dialog | 06:26 |
| mdz | fabbione: it is all a question of how much testing we can get for it | 06:27 |
| lamont | mdz: I didn't change background preferences prior to today, and when I pull that up, it says 'ubuntu monthly calendar' | 06:27 |
| mdz | lamont: you don't have to change them; you only have to look | 06:27 |
| lamont | I see. | 06:27 |
| mdz | anyone who has a ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml or whatever | 06:27 |
| mdz | will get a surprise artwork change | 06:27 |
| lamont | I see | 06:28 |
| lamont | ok. | 06:28 |
| lamont | and does removing the file make things better, or worse, I wonder? | 06:28 |
| mdz | removing the file should give you the new default | 06:28 |
| mdz | which is the gradient+logo background | 06:28 |
| mdz | fabbione: thanks for the explanation, I understand the change much better now | 06:29 |
| mdz | fabbione: can we talk about xkb? | 06:29 |
| lamont | mdz: so which all prism drivers do we have now? | 06:29 |
| fabbione | mdz: of course. | 06:29 |
| mdz | lamont: I don't think we add any prism drivers, but we do add the firmware for prism54 | 06:29 |
| fabbione | mdz: we have 2 problems with XKB | 06:29 |
| mdz | so we have whatever is in the 2.6 tree | 06:29 |
| lamont | mdz: so prims54 should "just work", or should be "trivial to enable"? | 06:30 |
| mdz | lamont: should 'just work' post-installation | 06:30 |
| fabbione | mdz: for the testing i can simulate all the cases replacing xresprobe. that's not a problem | 06:30 |
| mdz | may or may not work in the installer, not sure of the status of that one | 06:30 |
| fabbione | mdz: it was already in my TODO. it's not like i tend to push untested changes | 06:30 |
| fabbione | mdz: let's go with xkb when you are ready | 06:31 |
| lamont | mdz: what about liveCD? | 06:31 |
| mdz | lamont: the live CD has a completely different kernel | 06:32 |
| mdz | fabbione: I need 10 minutes for workrave | 06:32 |
| fabbione | mdz: ok | 06:32 |
| mdz | wrists are killing me | 06:32 |
| fabbione | mdz: i need to help my gf a few minutes so it fits perfectly ;) | 06:32 |
| lamont | we publish a livecd RC? | 06:32 |
| lamont | looks like the answer is 'no' | 06:34 |
| === lamont checks and discovers that his warty mirror will fit on a dvd. Just barely | ||
| lamont | well, about 20MB to spare.. :-) | 06:48 |
| mdz | lamont: I thought you weren't able to build one which booted | 06:50 |
| mdz | lamont: did you and alex find a solution? | 06:50 |
| lamont | mdz: haven't heard from alex since he headed for home. | 06:50 |
| mdz | lamont: please keep on him | 06:51 |
| lamont | but he had uploaded one, and it looks like we held off on calling that an RC. | 06:51 |
| lamont | he's on the top of my list. | 06:51 |
| mdz | the one that he built was based on day-old stuff, rather than the RC packages | 06:52 |
| lamont | right | 06:53 |
| lamont | have there been any post-rc uploads yet? | 06:54 |
| mdz | fabbione: back | 06:54 |
| fabbione | me too | 06:56 |
| fabbione | xbk problems | 06:56 |
| fabbione | there are 2 issues that i am aware of at the moment | 06:57 |
| fabbione | the first is that some layout are "multi layout" capable | 06:57 |
| fabbione | no clue what that means, but that's how it works | 06:57 |
| fabbione | basically these multilayout requires extra definitions in a bunch of files | 06:57 |
| fabbione | the last changes we imported are to support a number of extra multi layout thingy | 06:58 |
| fabbione | and it includes a cleanup in the direction | 06:58 |
| fabbione | (that was between ubuntu23 and ubuntu24) | 06:58 |
| fabbione | apparently there is a regression | 06:58 |
| mdz | what kind of testing can we do? | 06:58 |
| fabbione | for the Super key | 06:59 |
| fabbione | mdz: no idea really... | 06:59 |
| fabbione | other than testing the minimal stuff | 06:59 |
| fabbione | like the windows key and stuff like that | 06:59 |
| fabbione | it also means that you need to set the layout on the specified language to be able to see if it works | 07:00 |
| fabbione | and need to be familiar with it | 07:00 |
| fabbione | so i am not completely sure how to test stuff in that direction | 07:00 |
| fabbione | the only person that seems to understand xkb is denis | 07:00 |
| fabbione | (and upstream of course) | 07:00 |
| fabbione | now | 07:00 |
| fabbione | regarding the regression is a chicken egg problem at this point in time | 07:01 |
| fabbione | either i revert the changes done between ubuntu23 and ubuntu24 | 07:01 |
| fabbione | but we lose a big bunch of layouts | 07:01 |
| fabbione | or we try to update to the last changes Denis did. | 07:01 |
| fabbione | Also Denis commented a lot in the bug reports | 07:01 |
| fabbione | that most of these problems are also application problems | 07:01 |
| fabbione | and he explained some workaround that I am NOT happy to implement | 07:02 |
| fabbione | and daniels agreed too | 07:02 |
| fabbione | like using the alt:whatever_win option in X | 07:02 |
| fabbione | i truly believe that the best thing to do is keep going on Denis direction | 07:03 |
| fabbione | also becuase the same things will hit Debian soon | 07:03 |
| fabbione | and we will not be too different in that area | 07:03 |
| mdz | this sounds very risky | 07:04 |
| fabbione | in this area? | 07:04 |
| mdz | we do not know how to test if the bugs are fixed, we do not know how to test for regressions, and we do not understand the system very well. on all points we basically trust denis | 07:04 |
| fabbione | everything is risky | 07:04 |
| fabbione | mdz: that's what we are doing in debian too | 07:04 |
| mdz | fabbione: debian is not releasing in a few days | 07:05 |
| mdz | they will have weeks or months to shake out the bugs | 07:05 |
| fabbione | mdz: that's not my point :-)) | 07:05 |
| fabbione | that neither Branden or I have the knowledge to say what Denis is doing is correct or not | 07:05 |
| mdz | we cannot afford to take the same risks as Debian unstable | 07:05 |
| fabbione | so he has kinda of "licence to kill" | 07:05 |
| fabbione | mdz: i don't disagree | 07:06 |
| fabbione | what i am saying is that there are 2 options | 07:06 |
| fabbione | we kill the changes | 07:06 |
| fabbione | we keep going on them | 07:06 |
| mdz | why can we not leave it alone? | 07:06 |
| fabbione | first option: we kill the layouts for a bunch of coutries (including ca) | 07:06 |
| fabbione | second option: we at least try to improve the situation | 07:07 |
| fabbione | i am not leaving it alone because we know that there are bugs and it is not working for everybody | 07:07 |
| fabbione | the fact of killing layouts does not make me happy | 07:07 |
| fabbione | specially when something like ca is involved | 07:08 |
| fabbione | .ca <- | 07:08 |
| sivang | maybe get the changes on a seperate package , have it downloaded and tested by the reporting parties, just like after preview went out? | 07:09 |
| mdz | fabbione: how does the gnome keyboard capplet get information about the layouts? | 07:11 |
| fabbione | mdz: my best guess is that at the first startup it checks X config | 07:11 |
| fabbione | mdz: later it stores its own info | 07:11 |
| fabbione | reason why you can see the popup like: "hey you little punk! you changed the X config keyboard setup!!!" | 07:12 |
| mdz | fabbione: it has text descriptions for all layouts | 07:12 |
| mdz | which I do not see in the xkb data | 07:12 |
| fabbione | mdz: it depends how it is implemented | 07:12 |
| mdz | this is another thing to be concerned about | 07:13 |
| fabbione | what i am sure about is that gnome doesn't know the xkb protocol upside down | 07:13 |
| fabbione | and that's why there are inconsistencies | 07:13 |
| fabbione | what i am concerned about is why gnome needs its own keyboard layer, instead of using what is there already | 07:14 |
| fabbione | but that's off topic now | 07:15 |
| mdz | do you understand my concerns about these changes? | 07:15 |
| fabbione | yes i do | 07:15 |
| mdz | there are so many unknowns, and we could end up with a serious bug in the release that we can do nothing about | 07:15 |
| === x4m [~max@74.151-200-80.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | mdz: we can simply bounce the problem to the gnome people :) | 07:16 |
| mdz | they will not be able to fix it in warty either | 07:16 |
| fabbione | and tell them to write their application compliant to the X protocol | 07:16 |
| fabbione | and they will tell that X has to be gnomified :P | 07:16 |
| fabbione | so i mean i can leave it as it is now | 07:17 |
| fabbione | but i don't think it will change anything | 07:17 |
| mdz | + * Replace level3(ralt_switch_multikey) by level3(ralt_switch) in all | 07:19 |
| mdz | + layouts so that symbols on the 4th column may be accessed with | 07:19 |
| mdz | + Shift+Alt_R or Alt_R+Shift. (Closes: #270235) | 07:19 |
| mdz | I have no idea what that is about | 07:19 |
| mdz | and it is only a severity: normal bug in Debian | 07:19 |
| mdz | I cannot say if the change is correct | 07:20 |
| mdz | I cannot test it | 07:20 |
| mdz | how can I approve this kind of change for late inclusion in the release? | 07:21 |
| lamont | mdz: was there a 'how to get the old gdm splash' writeup somewhere? | 07:22 |
| fabbione | mdz: i am not trying to sell you a prodocut or something.. don't misunderstand me | 07:22 |
| mdz | lamont: FAQ | 07:22 |
| fabbione | mdz: i dunno that shit either. i am in the same position as you are. both cases we lose. | 07:22 |
| lamont | dih | 07:22 |
| lamont | doh | 07:22 |
| fabbione | mdz: either because we don't have the fix or because we might introduce a bug | 07:22 |
| daniels | fabbione: personally, I still prefer a whitelist to MAXRES | 07:23 |
| mdz | given a choice of two sets of bugs, I choose the known over the unknown every time | 07:23 |
| daniels | largely because timings can often be totally absolutely bong | 07:23 |
| daniels | e.g. 2777x2700 or whatever it was | 07:23 |
| daniels | mdz: btw, there are about two people in the world with xkb knowledge -- denis and svu@fd.o | 07:24 |
| fabbione | mdz: ok. at what level do you want me to revert? | 07:24 |
| mdz | fabbione: let's go over the changes one by one | 07:24 |
| fabbione | daniels: and Ivan Pascal | 07:24 |
| mdz | fabbione: what about this v4l stuff? | 07:24 |
| fabbione | mdz: it fixes the support for the v4l2 bttv | 07:24 |
| mdz | I didn't even know that X used v4l | 07:25 |
| fabbione | mdz: see the debian bug and the diff. | 07:25 |
| mdz | what applications use this interface? | 07:25 |
| fabbione | xawtv? | 07:25 |
| fabbione | & CO? | 07:25 |
| mdz | xawtv opens /dev/video | 07:25 |
| mdz | or uses Xv | 07:25 |
| fabbione | Xv is for output | 07:25 |
| fabbione | we are talking about input | 07:26 |
| fabbione | if you have a video card with a bttv iface | 07:26 |
| fabbione | (like i ghave on my machine) | 07:26 |
| fabbione | i get the v4l loaded | 07:26 |
| fabbione | otherwise i don't see tv ;) | 07:26 |
| daniels | fabbione: yeah, but after looking at his code, I'm convinced he doesn't know too much :P | 07:26 |
| mdz | fabbione: so it is for video cards with built-in capture? | 07:26 |
| fabbione | mdz: yes | 07:27 |
| fabbione | mdz: i saw it loaded also for normal tuners, but i cannot confirm 100% if | 07:27 |
| fabbione | it is used by them | 07:27 |
| mdz | I do not think it is used for a standalone capture card | 07:28 |
| mdz | X would not be involved at all | 07:28 |
| mdz | I have a bttv card | 07:28 |
| mdz | I do not even load the v4l module | 07:28 |
| fabbione | ok | 07:28 |
| mdz | fabbione: is your card broken without this patch? | 07:28 |
| fabbione | it does on mine and i have a gfx card with bttv integrated | 07:28 |
| fabbione | mdz: no because mine is a v4l | 07:29 |
| fabbione | the patch fixes v4l2 | 07:29 |
| fabbione | that is the new protocol/standard | 07:29 |
| fabbione | mdz: but yes.. mine works | 07:29 |
| mdz | very little uses v4l2 | 07:29 |
| mdz | fabbione: the 1152x768 thing is just adding a mode to the template choices, right? | 07:30 |
| fabbione | yup | 07:30 |
| fabbione | mdz: yes | 07:30 |
| fabbione | mdz: that's how i spotted also the other more generic problem | 07:30 |
| mdz | so carlos was affected by both of those bugs? | 07:30 |
| fabbione | mdz: yeps | 07:31 |
| fabbione | the missing entry in the template | 07:31 |
| fabbione | and the other thing we discussed before | 07:31 |
| fabbione | it can definetely be improved.. but not for warty | 07:32 |
| mdz | there were other reports of #2328? | 07:32 |
| mdz | even carlos did not report this until today :-/ | 07:33 |
| fabbione | mdz: mostly on irc and mailing list | 07:34 |
| fabbione | i don't have all the references at the moment | 07:34 |
| fabbione | but i remember them for sure | 07:34 |
| mdz | the other bugs we are fixing for final are melting laptops, breaking katie, security issues, and reverting one patch in hal | 07:36 |
| fabbione | yes i read the mail | 07:37 |
| mdz | the X issues don't seem to be of the same severity to me | 07:37 |

| fabbione | and possibly the xkb stuff | 07:39 |
| fabbione | but for the other fixes i don't | 07:40 |
| fabbione | in anycase we need to release | 07:40 |
| fabbione | so people will get what's in now | 07:40 |
| mdz | I know it's hard to know about the bugs and not fix them, but sometimes that is what we need to do | 07:42 |

| fabbione | daniels: it's in bugzilla already | 07:47 |
| daniels | 099l isn't | 07:47 |
| fabbione | daniels: the XKB stuff we will go 100% upstream for X.org | 07:47 |
| daniels | but I'll file that bug | 07:47 |
| daniels | not for 6.8 | 07:48 |
| daniels | i can kick it upstream, but not for a 6.8.x release | 07:48 |
| daniels | but if we use my modular approach, and use xkbdata from fd.o, I can kick it upstream there | 07:49 |

| fabbione | Mithrandir: ok. let me see if it happens here too | 08:44 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: did you use any special command to bootstrap? | 08:45 |
| fabbione | or just debootstrap -> chroot apt-get install ? | 08:46 |
| sivang | pitti : I have been trying to get a hold of where this _actually_ happens. in regard to #2221 | 08:46 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: yes, just debootstrap + apt-get install | 08:46 |
| fabbione | ok | 08:46 |
| Mithrandir | (naturally creating a sources.list between) | 08:47 |
| fabbione | yeah :-) | 08:47 |

| === doko [doko@dsl-084-057-017-069.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| thom | interestingly, while there were way more torrented downloads of PPC for the preview, amd64 is about double for the RC | 01:32 |
| azeem | so this means amd64 users reinstall each time they download a new iso | 01:32 |
| elmo | duh.. do we want the daily d-i images to still go in? | 01:41 |
| elmo | I guess so, but we should add "disable warty daily d-i build" to the final's release TODO list | 01:42 |
| Kamion | elmo: right | 01:42 |
| Kamion | probably won't need it between now and release, but I haven't quite got a feel for what mdz is going to want me to change | 01:43 |
| sabdfl | i suspect it just means that someone in the amd64 community pointed out the rc | 01:58 |
| Mithrandir | amd64 people are more likely to be early adopters as well, as it's a fairly new architecture, so you'll get tinkerers who, well, tinker with their machines | 02:00 |
| sabdfl | pr0n lovers | 02:01 |
| Mithrandir | yeah, and the amd64 is so pr0n loving and heard about the artwork, so... | 02:01 |
| Mithrandir | ;P | 02:01 |
| sabdfl | anybody know when we can expect to see gfx cards that do >8bit per channel? | 02:02 |
| Mithrandir | so you could get true truecolor? | 02:02 |
| sabdfl | isn't truecolor 8bits per rg and b? | 02:02 |
| sabdfl | we really need more | 02:02 |
| Mithrandir | you have 32 bits as well, since most computers are faster at working with 32 bit increments than 24 bits. | 02:03 |
| sabdfl | apparently the film industry uses specialised monitors and gfx cards that do 16 bit depth per channel | 02:03 |
| Mithrandir | ok | 02:03 |
| sabdfl | a hoary question... | 02:03 |
| Mithrandir | personally, I don't need more, but then, I'm not making movies. :) | 02:03 |
| sabdfl | could we bring the machine up sanely without networking? | 02:04 |
| sabdfl | and have services discover networks as they are brought up? | 02:04 |
| sabdfl | the pause during dhcp is... irritating | 02:04 |
| thom | sabdfl: that is how NetworkManager (and by extension, fedora core 3) works | 02:04 |
| Mithrandir | problem with ifplugd (or an equivalent) is broken hardware. | 02:04 |
| sabdfl | is this something we could aim for with hoary? | 02:05 |
| Mithrandir | oh, you mean just running the dhcp client in the background? | 02:05 |
| sabdfl | together with dependency-based init? | 02:05 |
| thom | sabdfl: networkmanager is a release goal | 02:05 |
| thom | so yeah, we'll be looking at it | 02:05 |
| sabdfl | Mithrandir: i think that runs the risk that a service like apache comes up before dhcp has bound to an address | 02:05 |
| sabdfl | thom: great, thanks | 02:05 |
| Mithrandir | sabdfl: doesn't matter if it listens to 0.0.0.0 | 02:05 |
| thom | dependency based init would be nice too | 02:05 |
| sabdfl | Mithrandir: or 127.0.0.1 for that matter | 02:06 |
| Mithrandir | sabdfl: for 127.0.0.1 it matters, since then it only listens on loopback, but if you listen on 0.0.0.0, it'll automatically listen on newly created interfaces. | 02:06 |

| seb128 | no | 03:13 |
| seb128 | I've already added some locales to reproduce bugs | 03:14 |
| seb128 | just dpkg-reconfigure, pick the locale | 03:14 |
| seb128 | and then select it in the gdm menu | 03:14 |

| rburton | if i wanted to install ubuntu on a machine with a cd drive and can't be arsed with netboots, is there an easy way? | 03:47 |

| Keybuk | daniels: it *used* to be on all the time, in GNOME 1.4 era; but would only appear at *really* rare times | 04:34 |
| daniels | it's only come back once and it's even more infurating than the typing monitor spawning at the exact wrong moment | 04:34 |
| daniels | Keybuk: so much ARGH bong | 04:34 |
| Keybuk | one of those random times was while Nat was doing a big presentation | 04:34 |
| === daniels executes his panel. | ||
| daniels | Keybuk: copped it | 04:34 |
| daniels | Keybuk: hey, btw -- new deb up | 04:35 |

| Keybuk | daniels: you learned to use vi this time? | 04:35 |

| daniels | so far you've connected repetitive strain injury, a UK Debian developer, and some really bad whisky | 04:37 |

| Keybuk | daniels: now I just have to link them to the drawing room and I WIN!!! | 04:37 |
| daniels | Keybuk: bah, rubbishing me in multiple media | 04:38 |
| daniels | i have to look stupid on IRC, the lists, and Bugzilla :P | 04:38 |
| Keybuk | you do exceptionally well at it, I must say :o) | 04:38 |
| Keybuk | though that new initrd-tools is much better | 04:39 |
| daniels | thankyou dear | 04:39 |
| daniels | nice to know I'm appreciated for my talents (specifically, court jester) | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | hey, that's my job! | 04:40 |
| === bob2 is happy to hand that mantle over to daniels | ||
| rburton | a double-act! | 04:40 |
| daniels | bob2: no, you're just the sideshow | 04:41 |
| daniels | duh. | 04:41 |
| daniels | i'm the main attraction :) | 04:41 |
| daniels | hm, having a NEEDINFOer would be nice | 04:42 |
| daniels | e.g. I NEEDINFO from this person, so it shows on their list also | 04:42 |
| daniels | guilt-tripping Keybuk from afar | 04:42 |
| bob2 | Dr Daniel and his Amazingly Astounding X Packages. | 04:42 |
| Keybuk | daniels: hrm? | 04:42 |
| daniels | Keybuk: you need to test 2341, duh :) | 04:43 |
| Keybuk | daniels: just have, fans are on | 04:44 |
| daniels | bob2: Marvel as be breaks mdz's machine! Be astounded as he does yet another bloody XKB symlink! Gasp as mdz looks at him threateningly! | 04:44 |
| Keybuk | well, three of them are on | 04:44 |

| daniels | daniels@brenna:~/canonical/initrd-tools% ls /proc/acpi/fan | 04:44 |
| daniels | daniels@brenna:~/canonical/initrd-tools% | 04:44 |
| bob2 | your x40 is called brenna? | 04:45 |
| daniels | although there's definitely one going; I just put my ear up to it and it blew a crapload of air into my ear. go figure. | 04:45 |
| thom | the x40's fan is hardware controlled afaik, not acpi controlled | 04:45 |
| daniels | bob2: brenna is tycho's girlfriend. i've been through tycho (fooishbar.org), gabe (fd.o), twisp (pda), catsby (old laptop ... maybe I'll change to catsby when I reinstall tonight), brenna (x40), kara (unused -- gabe's wife), div (a Myth box I installed for a mate) | 04:46 |
| Keybuk | thom: that kinda sucks | 04:46 |
| daniels | oh, and I called the laptop I had for LCA fruitfucker2000 | 04:46 |
| === Keybuk was playing the other day with having different trip_points for battery and AC | ||
| daniels | Keybuk: not really; it just blows out the side anyway | 04:46 |
| daniels | Keybuk: so it's not like the OmniBook, where it FROZE YOUR FRIGGING LEG | 04:47 |
| Kamion | has anyone tested lamont's live CD, then? | 04:47 |
| === daniels took to having a small script to just disable it every five seconds, as its only use was to make your right leg so cold it got really, really sore. | ||
| Keybuk | daniels: yeah, but fans use power, so it's nice to be able to control them yourself | 04:47 |
| daniels | Keybuk: ah, I don't worry about power consumption, you see | 04:48 |
| Keybuk | for FAN in /proc/acpi/fan/*; do echo 0 > $FAN; done ... cold leg | 04:48 |
| Keybuk | for FAN in /proc/acpi/fan/*; do echo 3 > $FAN; done ... cold leg | 04:48 |
| Keybuk | uh, that second should be warm leg :p | 04:48 |
| daniels | yeah | 04:48 |
| bob2 | daniels: ahhhh | 04:48 |
| daniels | but my left leg was always boiling (sometimes to the point of sweating profusely) whatever I did | 04:49 |
| bob2 | I'm scared my ibook will set fire to my desk in the summer | 04:49 |
| daniels | the fan blew straight on to my right leg (the idea was to have it elevated, and run under the laptop to ventilate the left side), so it didn't actually cool the left side. at all. | 04:49 |
| bob2 | hammering the disk makes it too hot to have on your lap | 04:49 |
| thom | Keybuk: given that the x40 appears to have a single fan and the hardware appears to get it right, i'm not too fussed | 04:49 |
| Kamion | bob2: same with a powerbook | 04:49 |
| daniels | the x40 also very, very rarely gets hot | 04:49 |
| Kamion | in winter you can compile kernels to keep yourself warm | 04:49 |
| daniels | the only time I've ever actually noticed it -- and I wasn't actually uncomfortable -- was after it had been building X on AC power (thus un-SpeedStepped) for a couple of hours | 04:50 |
| daniels | Kamion: ever owned an ia64? ;) | 04:50 |
| Kamion | nope :) | 04:50 |
| bob2 | Kamion: hehe, the powersupply is good for chilly toes | 04:50 |
| Kamion | the CD drive generates a fair bit of heat, actually | 04:50 |
| Kamion | taking the CD out is generally useful | 04:50 |
| daniels | bob2: yeah, I used to love that about the OmniBook | 04:52 |
| daniels | bob2: until one day where I burnt the underside of my toes and lost some skin | 04:52 |
| daniels | after that, I'd just go find some socks | 04:52 |
| daniels | ARSE | 04:52 |
| Kamion | socks for your arse? | 04:53 |
| bob2 | daniels is "unique". | 04:53 |
| daniels | Kamion: just realised that as my music is all track%d.cdda.ogg when ripped now, not %d-audiotrack.ogg, my small tracknumber script (a horrible sed hack) has been putting on track numbers of 'tr' for a couple of CDs | 04:53 |
| daniels | and there are no good tag editors | 04:53 |
| daniels | the only one I could find was catbus or something, and it's *abysmal*. | 04:54 |
| daniels | alias tn='for i in *.ogg; do echo TRACKNUMBER=`echo $i | sed -e "s/^\(..\).*$/\1/; s/^0//;"` | vorbiscomment -a $i; done' | 04:54 |
| rburton | daniels: the new musicbrainz library has an accoustic fingerprint tagger | 04:54 |
| rburton | so in theory it will tag without asking you | 04:54 |
| pitti | daniels: easytag is not bad IMHO | 04:56 |
| pitti | daniels: I have used it for quite a while | 04:56 |
| daniels | rburton: nice | 04:56 |
| pitti | daniels: it can rename files after tags, or the other way round; quite flexible | 04:57 |
| daniels | rburton: the only problem I have with SJ is that (aside from never having seen musicbrainz support ever activate) is that I rip a lot of compilations | 04:57 |
| daniels | and for that I want %d - Artist Name - Track Name.ogg, whereas I just want %d - Track Name.ogg for single-artist stuff | 04:57 |
| daniels | so I have my own Python script that DTRT according to a very small file I write | 04:57 |
| rburton | daniels: hrm | 04:58 |
| daniels | rburton: that and quality support for oggenc :P | 04:58 |
| rburton | i want to say "use a decent media player" so you don't see the filenames | 04:58 |
| rburton | daniels: sj in cvs has profile support | 04:58 |
| rburton | interesting problem though | 04:58 |
| daniels | rburton: oh? | 05:03 |
| daniels | rburton: yeah, I keep meaning to, but mainly because of the compilation issue, end up back at the command line | 05:03 |
| daniels | rburton: rhythmbox isn't quite usable on 1024 -- just not enough screen real estate. i use it on 1600 tho. | 05:03 |
| rburton | daniels: tried muine? | 05:04 |
| daniels | rburton: yeah, rather liked it, but just didn't scale | 05:04 |
| rburton | i guess the album view doesn't work too well with a huge album list | 05:05 |
| bob2 | hm, I kept meaning to true muine | 05:06 |
| rburton | its not bad | 05:06 |
| bob2 | I'll just wait until I have enough time to write my twisted music playing thing | 05:06 |
| daniels | rburton: although I did like how it was pretty smart about compilations | 05:07 |
| daniels | ok, can other people please try the new initrd-tools to ensure they get no regressions? | 05:07 |
| daniels | i'll be trying it here when I reinstall, but just to make sure | 05:07 |
| daniels | http://ubuntuforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=442 | 05:21 |
| daniels | however that will be badly skewed by the (purely anecdotally observed) connection between Gentoo users and web forums | 05:21 |

| elmo | blink | 06:09 |
| elmo | an upgrade, just brought up a nautlius window | 06:09 |
| daniels | elmo: hal restarted. thought we fixed that bug. | 06:09 |

| Kamion | gah. why can't I compile gtk with multiple gdk frontends at once, eh? | 06:10 |
| Keybuk | daniels: yeah, dbus-1 restart triggers it here | 06:10 |
| Keybuk | I just got two spanking new windows | 06:10 |
| daniels | man, if there was ever an example of 'don't put off till tomorrow what you can rewrite today', it's apt-cacher. sweet jesus. | 06:11 |
| daniels | hack city. | 06:11 |
| daniels | Keybuk: bah. what version of hal? | 06:11 |
| Keybuk | 0.2.98-1ubuntu8 | 06:11 |
| Keybuk | 0.22-1ubuntu2 of dbus-1 | 06:11 |
| daniels | dbus-1's version is unimportant, it's just that it runs hal from event.d :) | 06:11 |
| Keybuk | daniels: if you do dbus-1 restart on your machine, do you get a / window ? | 06:12 |
| daniels | Keybuk: not a / window, no | 06:12 |
| daniels | don't think so | 06:12 |
| daniels | doesn't happen for me with ubuntu8 | 06:13 |
| pitti | This was not a hal bug, but a g-v-m one | 06:13 |
| Keybuk | it only happens for me once, the first time | 06:13 |
| daniels | pitti: oh? | 06:13 |
| daniels | pitti: oh right, yeah | 06:14 |
| === daniels takes another hit. | ||

| pitti | https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2169 | 06:14 |
| daniels | gah, apparently 'cleaning up' in this house means 'move Daniel's thumbdrive somewhere he can't find it'; that's like the fourth time this week | 06:14 |
| Keybuk | 1.0.2-0ubuntu5 of g-v-m | 06:14 |
| daniels | bong | 06:14 |
| daniels | oh | 06:15 |
| daniels | you've been running your session for a while :) | 06:15 |
| pitti | daniels, Keybuk: actually this should be fixed in ubuntu5 | 06:15 |
| daniels | killall gnome-volume-manager && gnome-volume-manager &| | 06:15 |
| pitti | does it still occur? | 06:15 |
| Keybuk | pitti: well, it just occured now | 06:15 |
| pitti | Keybuk: damn, g-v-m now should know about device states... | 06:15 |
| daniels | Keybuk: yes, but is the *running* g-v-m (i.e. the one started when your session was) ubuntu5? | 06:15 |
| Keybuk | daniels: just checking that now | 06:15 |
| Keybuk | I'm trying to remember how to get the exact start time of a process | 06:18 |
| daniels | 09:15 < daniels> killall gnome-volume-manager && gnome-volume-manager &| | 06:18 |
| daniels | unless you're really attached to your current g-v-m instance :P | 06:18 |
| pitti | one is as good as the other | 06:19 |
| Keybuk | it looks to me like I'm running ubuntu5 now | 06:19 |
| Keybuk | descent scott% killall gnome-volume-manager && gnome-volume-manager &| | 06:20 |
| Keybuk | descent scott% umount: only root can unmount /dev/hda1 from /boot | 06:20 |
| Keybuk | umount: only root can unmount /dev/hda3 from / | 06:20 |
| Keybuk | after killing, it seems ok, I can restart dbus *shrug* | 06:21 |
| daniels | right, so it *is* fixed | 06:22 |
| daniels | elmo: does that work for you too? | 06:22 |
| Keybuk | (and this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Windows makes you reboot after any install :p) | 06:23 |

| === Keybuk tries that to see whether it happens again | ||

| Keybuk | the latter looks like it fixes a pretty silly crash | 06:50 |
| lamont | so gnome-background-proerties should do something after it's windo is created, right? (like add buttons, fill in the big white box I see, etc...) | 06:50 |
| lamont | much happier when root runs it... | 06:51 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: 2.8.1 | 06:52 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: 2.8.1.1 has been released yesterday | 06:53 |
| Keybuk | * Fix possible crasher in gweather preferences (Mark McLoughlin) | 06:55 |
| Keybuk | * Fix error in Italian translation that caused gweather to not parse the location list (Kjarten Maraas) | 06:55 |

| seb128 | I've 2 other important fixes too, but mdz said it's too late for changes yesterday | 06:56 |
| lamont | post-RC is not the time to introduce fixes for non-RC bugs... | 06:56 |
| seb128 | a fix for gok which just crashes when you run it | 06:56 |
| seb128 | and a fix for a data corruption with the ftp method (and perhaps the http one too) in nautilus | 06:57 |

| mdz | I made the change on my laptop last night | 07:34 |
| mdz | the fan module doesn't seem to work now, but I'm not entirely sure whether it worked before either | 07:34 |
| Kamion | mdz: there's still some missing branding in the installation manual, specifically the installation howto (which says stuff like "Debian GNU/Linux warty") | 07:34 |
| daniels | mdz: ugh, bongtastic | 07:34 |
| Kamion | mdz: can I re-upload debian-installer at some point to fix that? | 07:34 |
| daniels | can someone with a currently working fan setup (ACPI fan, and working when thermal is loaded before fan) please test the new initrd? download initrd-tools from p.u.c/~daniels/thermal-fans/all/, install it, and run apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.8.1-3-<flavourofchoice> | 07:35 |
| mdz | Kamion: can it be the last d-i upload for Warty? | 07:36 |
| Kamion | mdz: probably :-) | 07:36 |
| Keybuk | I don't see why it'd break anything. The installer already loads fan before thermal anyway, and before thom added those modprobes to the initrd the acpid init script loaded them and loads fan before thermal | 07:36 |
| thom | mdz: would you agree the fix to laptop-detect is rc, and can i upload it? | 07:36 |
| Kamion | I'll do a really good read-through of the installer this weekend | 07:36 |
| Kamion | er, installer manual | 07:36 |
| daniels | Keybuk: yeah, but um, having testing would be good | 07:36 |
| mdz | Kamion: maybe for Hoary we should split out the manual into a separate source packagae so that the doc team can beat on it | 07:36 |
| daniels | i'd test it, but the x40 fans are hardware, not acpi | 07:37 |
| mdz | daniels: I think the same of T42 | 07:37 |
| mdz | thom: bug#? | 07:37 |
| Kamion | mdz: the reason why it's there in the first place is that katie/wanna-build falls over if you try to upload a package containing only byhand components | 07:37 |
| Kamion | (or something similar) | 07:37 |
| mdz | Kamion: sounds like a bug :-) | 07:37 |
| Kamion | basically it doesn't get autobuilt that way | 07:37 |
| mdz | it could build an installation-guide.deb, no? | 07:38 |
| daniels | mdz: if /proc/acpi/fan is empty, you have no ACPI fans | 07:38 |
| thom | mdz: 2294 | 07:38 |
| mdz | daniels: correct | 07:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: er, it does | 07:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: but the manual is arch-specific | 07:38 |
| mdz | Kamion: aren't debs not-byhand components? | 07:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: yes, that's why one of them is there | 07:38 |
| daniels | mdz: by the way, SiS have fucked us. either we pick a lot of PCI-to-AGP bridges as video cards, or we pick a few video cards as PCI-to-AGP bridges. the former results in a broken configuration, the latter results in the user having to nominate that they have an SiS card. guess which one I picked :) | 07:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: otherwise it would be just the initrd tarballs, and those need to be autobuilt too | 07:39 |
| daniels | mdz: (:0001 is used for TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLASSES OF PCI DEVICE) | 07:39 |
| mdz | Kamion: ah, gotcha | 07:39 |
| mdz | Kamion: I thought you were saying the doc package would be byhand-only, but you meant d-i itself | 07:39 |
| Kamion | mdz: right. joeyh wrestled with this a lot a while back; the current situation is the resulting compromise | 07:39 |
| mdz | daniels: ok to upload initrd-tools | 07:39 |
| Kamion | mdz: surely for a doc team we can simply let them commit to the right bit of arch | 07:39 |
| daniels | mdz: thanks | 07:40 |
| mdz | Kamion: yes, but we still have to get the stuff uploaded somehow | 07:40 |
| tseng | anyone know how i could track down a seemingly random hardlock? | 07:40 |
| Kamion | mdz: sure, but d-i gets uploaded regularly anyway for other reasons | 07:40 |

| Kamion | mdz: I don't really think this is a problem | 07:41 |
| Kamion | anyway, have to go now :) | 07:41 |
| Keybuk | ^ the SiS bridge here has an 0600 class | 07:41 |
| daniels | Keybuk: yes, but 1039:0001 is ambiguous -- it is both a video card, and a PCI-to-AGP bridge | 07:42 |
| mdz | daniels: ah, so that was a local kernel build that was breaking for you | 07:42 |
| mdz | *PHEW* | 07:42 |
| Keybuk | daniels: yeah, so check the class | 07:43 |
| daniels | for some reason, discover does totally bong matching (it forces the types of what it detected and what's in the file to equality if the PCI ID is the same, so no way to specify two classes, one ID), and I do *not* want to touch that code. i tried a couple of fixes and it broke stuff. so I just let it go, and both :0001 sis video users can deal. | 07:43 |
| daniels | mdz: yeah, not an RC bug | 07:43 |
| daniels | speaking of RC bugs | 07:43 |
| Keybuk | discover is broken | 07:43 |

| daniels | Keybuk: no, really?!? | 07:43 |
| Keybuk | vendors are allowed to allocate the same id to two devices, provided they have different major classes, if I recall PCI correctly | 07:43 |
| daniels | Keybuk: that's crap | 07:44 |
| daniels | Keybuk: i don't think discover has a bridge class anyway, so lots and lots of stuff would break. infeasible to change it. | 07:44 |
| daniels | we'd just screw up more corner cases than we'd fix | 07:44 |
| daniels | mdz: comments on #2373? i think it can be closed out-of-hand. | 07:45 |
| Keybuk | #define PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_PCI 0x0604 | 07:45 |
| Keybuk | it's reasonably clear what that device is :-) | 07:45 |
| daniels | Keybuk: yeah, but discover doesn't map this sanely to the 'bridge' class in pci.lst anyway | 07:46 |
| daniels | and half of them are down as unknown | 07:46 |
| daniels | tightening matching would break us horribly | 07:46 |
| Keybuk | discover doesn't even use the right list files, it has its own | 07:46 |
| daniels | assume we're talking about discover1 here | 07:46 |
| mdz | thom: I'm OK with uploading the fix in #2294 | 07:48 |
| mdz | thom: oh, wait | 07:48 |
| mdz | thom: that doesn't actually break any maintainer scripts, does it? | 07:48 |
| mdz | it just makes them think it's not a laptop | 07:48 |
| Keybuk | modules.pcimap has a specific 0600 class-match for sis-agp | 07:48 |

| thom | mdz: dmidecode? upstream say no way, dunno if anyone has looked at making it work | 07:58 |

| _rene_ | :) | 09:40 |
| _rene_ | that script unfortunately is undocumented... | 09:40 |
| _rene_ | (yes, I know of dh_desktop but that's not yet available in sarge...) | 09:41 |
| _rene_ | erm, nm | 09:42 |
| === _rene_ looks in debhelper | ||
| _rene_ | ah, ok | 09:43 |
| _rene_ | mdz: expect a 1.1.2-6 with these and some other patches in the next days | 09:45 |
| _rene_ | mdz: when are you going to release? | 09:45 |
| mdz | _rene_: that bug did not apply to Debian, did it? | 09:48 |
| mdz | I thought it was only with GNOME 2.8 | 09:49 |
| _rene_ | yes, but it was reported since $reporter used gnome from experimental | 09:49 |
| mdz | _rene_: we release on 10/20; we are only accepting fixes for showstopper bugs and safe trivila fixes | 09:49 |
| _rene_ | I don't see why it shouldn't be fixed in the deb anyway :) | 09:49 |
| seb128 | _rene_: what's the problem ? | 09:49 |
| mdz | seb128: #648 | 09:50 |
| seb128 | oh ok | 09:50 |
| _rene_ | mdz: oh, any you probably want the openoffice.org-debian-files I am just preparing.. | 09:50 |
| seb128 | yeah, that's GNOME 2.8 material | 09:50 |
| mdz | _rene_: showstopper bugs and safe trivial fixes only | 09:51 |
| _rene_ | mdz: ah, well, I'll let you decide.. | 09:51 |
| seb128 | mdz: permission to make a gok upload ? The rules were in the wrong order in debian/rules, the schemas is not registred and gok just crashes | 09:51 |
| mdz | _rene_: do you have a changelog? | 09:51 |
| mdz | seb128: bug#? | 09:52 |
| _rene_ | not yet but I can tell you :) | 09:52 |
| _rene_ | - minor typo fix in manpafe (\fb -> \fB) | 09:52 |
| mdz | _rene_: we're in an ultra-conservative posture right now | 09:52 |
| _rene_ | - run setofficelang.bin with -f | 09:52 |
| seb128 | mdz: #2141, but I've not attached the patch ... I've just changed the cdbs rules in debian/rules to match all the other GNOME packages | 09:53 |
| _rene_ | that latter fixes the problem that OOo doesn't start after initial setup | 09:53 |
| mdz | seb128: can you attach a patch? | 09:53 |
| seb128 | mdz: ok | 09:53 |
| seb128 | mdz: done | 09:55 |
| mdz | seb128: hmm? I don't see it | 09:55 |
| mdz | wrong bug maybe? | 09:55 |
| mdz | oh, you added it as a comment | 09:55 |
| mdz | rather than an attachment | 09:55 |
| seb128 | yes | 09:55 |
| mdz | seb128: ok, looks good, go ahead | 09:55 |
| seb128 | thanks | 09:56 |
| mdz | since it doesn't seem to work at all, I don't suppose it could get worse from this :-) | 09:56 |
| seb128 | yeah :) | 09:57 |
| _rene_ | mdz: p.d.o/~rene/openoffice.org/oo-d-f.patch <-- 2 lines... | 09:57 |
| mdz | _rene_: I haven't seen the problem where oo.o doesn't start after initial setup | 09:57 |
| mdz | it seems to work for me | 09:57 |
| _rene_ | mdz: erm, ignore that comment in the file. *fixes* | 09:57 |
| _rene_ | mdz: oh? | 09:57 |
| _rene_ | LANG="C"? | 09:58 |
| _rene_ | or something like that? | 09:58 |
| mdz | _rene_: I do fresh Ubuntu installs on a regular basis, and starting oo.o is one of my test cases | 09:58 |
| _rene_ | hmm | 09:58 |
| mdz | LANG=en_US | 09:58 |
| _rene_ | I can reproduce this here at will | 09:58 |
| _rene_ | (with de_DE) | 09:58 |
| mdz | _rene_: is there some way I can test, having already setup oo.o? | 09:58 |
| mdz | rm -rf .openofice .sversionrc? | 09:59 |
| _rene_ | yes | 09:59 |
| _rene_ | export LANG="de_DE@euro" or so | 09:59 |
| _rene_ | en_US works fine here, too | 09:59 |
| _rene_ | probably because there is no UI language to change :) | 09:59 |
| mdz | confirmed | 09:59 |
| mdz | _rene_: what does -f do? | 10:01 |
| _rene_ | force | 10:01 |
| mdz | ah, otherwise it exits nonzero and so oo.o fails to start? | 10:02 |
| mdz | (due to the script exiting?) | 10:02 |
| mdz | or it changes the way setofficelang works? | 10:02 |
| _rene_ | mdz: right. it exits 1 | 10:02 |
| _rene_ | mdz: and exits the set -e script :) | 10:02 |
| mdz | ok, I think we can take -5+1 | 10:02 |
| _rene_ | s/exits 1/returns 1/ | 10:02 |
| seb128 | mdz: permission to upload gst-plugins0.8 with the schemas back to esdsink ? | 10:07 |
| mdz | seb128: yes | 10:08 |
| mdz | jdub: please tell me we can lose esd for hoary | 10:09 |
| mdz | thom: don't you have an ipw2100? | 10:11 |
| thom | mdz: yeah? | 10:11 |
| mdz | thom: #2364 | 10:11 |

| lamont | those with bandwidth: http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/testing/live.iso if you would be so kind. | 10:13 |
| thom | mdz: my ipw2100 is working great, with the -15 kernel | 10:14 |
| mdz | seb128: the patch seems neither trivial nor obviously correct without context; can you explain it to me? | 10:14 |
| mdz | thom: please note that on the bug for Herbert | 10:15 |
| thom | will do | 10:15 |
| mdz | thom: you're not up to -16? | 10:15 |

| seb128 | hate hate hate libtool, I keep getting app linked with both Xft == broken apps | 11:22 |
| Keybuk | well, don't link apps with both Xft then | 11:23 |
| Keybuk | it's not libtool doing that to you | 11:23 |
| Keybuk | it doesn't conjour dependencies out of thin air | 11:23 |
| Keybuk | if you didn't use libtool, apps would still be linked with both Xft and still broken | 11:24 |
| seb128 | yeah, probably, finding the problem is just a pain | 11:24 |
| seb128 | for the moment I can't build gtk+ and control-center on my box | 11:24 |
| seb128 | and now yelp in my jhbuild has the problem too | 11:25 |
| seb128 | I'm decided to track this down, I just need to figure how :) | 11:25 |
| daniels | apt-get remove libxft1 | 11:25 |
| seb128 | 44 to remove | 11:26 |
| seb128 | The following packages will be REMOVED: | 11:26 |
| seb128 | abiword-plugins capplets eterm galeon galeon-common gdeb gdm gimp gimp1.2 | 11:26 |
| seb128 | gksu gnome-applets gnome-applets-data gnome-applets-dev gnome-apt | 11:26 |

| seb128 | .. | 11:26 |
| seb128 | x-window-system-core xbase-clients xlibs | 11:26 |
| seb128 | na, not good | 11:26 |
| daniels | there's still that much stuff built against libxft1? that's total shit | 11:26 |
| daniels | unless xlibs still deps that, but I'd be pretty surprised | 11:27 |
| daniels | but that could explain it | 11:27 |
| Keybuk | seb128: libtool makes that easy! | 11:27 |
| daniels | anyway, breakfast time | 11:27 |
| Keybuk | just look for it in the .la files | 11:27 |
| Keybuk | the deepest one that contains /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 in its dependency_libs line is the culprit | 11:28 |
| seb128 | no /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 in /usr/lib/*.la | 11:28 |
| Keybuk | which ones have -lXft in them? | 11:29 |

| Keybuk | seb128: that be your problem, as soon as you have -L/usr/X11R6/lib, GTK+ will link with that insteadf | 11:32 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: oh ok, that would explain why I only get the problem on my box | 11:33 |
| seb128 | I'm just wondering why this link is staying here | 11:33 |

| seb128 | daniels: yeah, I've used them :p | 11:34 |
| daniels | seb128: there's your problem, clearly! | 11:34 |
| seb128 | I had a good reason, but I don't remember which one now :) | 11:34 |
| Keybuk | but why didn't the symlink vanish when he upgraded ? | 11:34 |
| daniels | they were shiny? :P | 11:34 |
| daniels | Keybuk: i don't know. sounds like total bong to me. | 11:34 |
| seb128 | daniels: no, IIRC to reproduce some problem with totem ... | 11:34 |
| Keybuk | I used the experimental 4.3 packages and I don't have that symlink | 11:34 |
| sabdfl | kamion: so what are the rsync options for mirrors? | 11:35 |
| sabdfl | rsync://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 11:35 |
| sabdfl | this gets the whole repo, right? | 11:35 |
| sabdfl | what gets just the release cd images? | 11:35 |
| sabdfl | and is there one that gets both, together? | 11:36 |
| seb128 | daniels, Keybuk: thanks, much better now :) | 11:38 |
| Keybuk | "never attribute to libtool that which can be attributed to symlinks that aren't supposed to be there" | 11:39 |
| seb128 | noted :) | 11:43 |
| doko | keybuk: is this a rumor that libtools doesn't like `~' in directory names? | 11:43 |
| Keybuk | probably wouldn't, no :p | 11:44 |
| Keybuk | doesn't like spaces in them either | 11:44 |
| doko | so the introduction of `~' in version numbers is pretty useless for packages using libtool ... | 11:45 |
