vorlonKeybuk: showed up on #d-release, I think. FWIW, I don't think libtool not being happy with ~ in upstream versions (the only part that appears in the directory name, after all) is a big deal for adoption, and I think it's already been claimed that the problem is fixed in current libtool.12:01
Keybukrofl, it isn't fixed12:01
dokokeybuk: good question, on #d-d or #d-r last week?12:01
vorlonjdub: hmm, what's esd getting replaced with?12:01
vorlonKeybuk: ok, then fix it already. ;)12:02
Keybukand wouldn't ~ be most common in the upstream version?12:02
thomyikes, when did vorlon join :-)12:02
vorlonthom: I have always been here.12:02
thomhey dude12:02
Keybukvorlon: can't, it's kinda core to the way libtool works12:02
thomdamn.12:02
vorlon;)12:02
Keybuk(libtool uses IFS="~" internally, basically)12:02
thom*giggle*12:02
thomvorlon: please don't start referring to mark as "the arrow"12:02
thomthat would just be disturbing12:02
vorlonKeybuk: ah, well, whoever was noting it actually did suggest a patch, I apparently was under the impression it came from upstream12:03
vorlonthom: <lol>12:03
Keybukit'd be far easier to fix dpkg to use a less silly character12:03
vorlonwe're out of less silly characters.12:03
vorlonthough you're right about it being more likely to appear in upstream version #s (duh), but even so, that's a per-package implementation problem, hmm? :)12:04
dokohmm, `=' doesn't seem to be used much.12:04
vorlondoko: makes it more fun to parse version specs in apt-get install commands. :)12:05
vorlonapt-get install ssh=4.0=rc5-3?12:05
Keybuk$version =~ m/[^-+:.0-9a-zA-Z~] /12:05
Keybuk^ is the current regexp12:05
=== AndyFitz [~andy@203-173-20-190.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel
dokomake the version string utf8 encoded and we don't have the problem anymore. utf8 is a hoary goal anyway ;)12:07
KeybukI still like the bug that proves nobody *really* uses the hurd port12:07
Keybuk(dpkg can't actually cope with "-" in arch names :p)12:07
=== vorlon chuckles
Keybuklet alone any of Millan's toy-of-the-week ports12:07
dokokeybuk: we should continue this discussion on #debian-glibc, jeff's currently there :)12:08
Keybukvorlon: there's actually remarkably many silly characters left to be abused *shrug*12:09
vorlonKeybuk: few that aren't already used somewhere else that would make it irritating to disambiguate and/or escape strings.12:09
vorlonKeybuk: face it, it's libtool's fault. ;)12:10
Keybukheh, half the archive tools don't even support ~ at the moment; so it's a bit of a dead duck usefulness wise12:10
Keybukoh, I agree; I've waxed lyrical repeatedly that libtool should use IFS="\0" internally which would also fix the space problem12:11
vorlonwell, the archive tools don't need to support it until post-sarge anyway.12:11
Keybukvorlon: the ones in sarge, like apt-ftparchive do12:11
Keybuk(though I think that's one of the few that does support it)12:11
vorlonmeh, it'd be nice if they would, but the only real requirement is that *our* archive be able to handle it before they're allowed into Debian.12:12
vorlon(IMHO)12:12
Keybukit would be nice if we could work out a way of removing this restriction that dpkg features need to be in a stable release first12:12
Keybukit basically leaves amazingly critical things untested for too long12:13
vorlonSolution: we use Ubuntu as a guinea pig for everything.12:13
Keybuklike the bz2 support, I could merge it in but it's just not tested enough for a stable release12:13
Keybukwe have the same problem12:13
vorlonoh well, it was worth a try ;)12:14
sabdfli don't mind being a guinnea pig12:14
sabdflas long we we get it in early in the cycle12:14
sabdfllike, bz2 should go in immediately hoary opens up12:14
thomwell, the real solution would be to have an ubuntu derivative called "debian madness" or somesuch12:15
sabdflununtu?12:15
thomand have all the daft ideas built in that on a weekly release cycle12:15
Keybukhrm, I can't find that thread :-(12:15
vorlonthom: you *know* that would be a magnet for Gentoo users... :)12:15
thomvorlon: sure. and when they grow up, they use ubuntu12:15
Keybuk"Break My Buntu"12:15
=== vorlon grins
thomit's a win alround :-)12:15
Keybukbecause "break my ubuntu" is impossible for non-south-africans to say without dying of asphixiation in the middle12:16
vorlonquestion is whether the Gentoo users would actually give useful feedback for sifting out the buggy from the non. :)12:16
thomwe should find some xhosa word with a nice glottal stop in12:16
thomvorlon: that would be the problem12:17
=== sabdfl [~mark@host217-37-231-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has left #ubuntu-devel []
vorlonthom: and then we could use the glottal stop as a separation character in libtool.12:17
dokosabdfl: do guinnea pigs have something to do with guinnes ;)12:17
danielsthom: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=44212:18
Keybukvorlon: some idiot would try to stick it in a filename12:18
danielsthom: gentoo is still the former distribution of choice for all the webforum people12:18
=== vorlon scrubs the filenames in his homedir so Keybuk doesn't see
Keybukactually, I've thought of a bright side12:19
thomvorlon: nice thought. i believe "xh" is the written form of a glotal stop for xhose tho12:19
thomxhosa, even12:19
dokodaniels: ehh, no suse switcher at all ...12:19
pittinight, guys!12:19
danielsheh, some 'How did you find about Ubuntu?' thread12:19
Keybukyou don't *really* need to build packages in a directory named source-upstream12:19
danielstempting to reply th that one12:19
Keybukif you don't, dpkg-source will bitch, but make the .diff.gz anyway12:19
Keybukbut for everyone else, it'll still be unpacked in a directory named source-upstream12:19
Keybukoh, wait, no12:20
=== Keybuk derails his chain of thought
Keybuk(was thinking it'd stop people shipping packages that ran libtoolize ... but it's libtool itself that's broken)12:20

Keybukthe area I live in is primarily Asian06:09
jdubKeybuk: when you say asian, do you mean indian too?06:10
Keybukjdub: yeah, Pakistani and Indian06:10
jdubmmm, that's always sounded weird to me06:11
Keybukwhy?06:11
jdubasian, in .au, pretty much means CJK, SEasian, etc.06:11
Keybuksee, I'd call them Oriental06:11
jameshindians are called indians06:11
jdubdefinitely not indian (they're just called indians, much to the annoyance of the pakistanis)06:12
Keybukuh, not exactly annoyance of Pakistanis ... I wouldn't *dare* risk calling a Pakistani an Indian06:12
Keybukthese are two countries that were nearly at nuclear war with each other only a year or two ago06:12
Keybukpeople have been stabbed for less06:12
jduba friend was booted out of a taxi for talking to the pakistani driver about indian stuff06:12
Keybukindeed06:13
Keybukat least with Asian, they don't kill you06:13
jdubbut that's kind of a stand-out case here, as far as i'm aware06:13
danielsjdub: holy fuck, yeah, being racist in Redfern wouldn't last long06:13
Keybukjdub: Britain, especially the midlands, has a very large Pakistani and Indian population06:13
jdubKeybuk: in .au, they'd seriously look at you oddly, unless they were UK "Asian" themselves ;)06:13
Keybuklargely from independance06:13

fabbionefor me it takes longer and i can see the spots07:48
mdzinteresting07:49
fabbionewe can change it to the default gdm background07:49

mdzso he wants you to change it to #76848F?07:49

danielsmdz: insane != surprising07:52
fabbioneok hold on07:52
fabbionei need more coffee before we start07:52
mdzwelcome to 1975, we have these things called "command-line options"07:52
fabbionei woke several hours ago to move the office07:52
danielsmdz: either the root tile gets initialised to the grey/black stipple (hardcoded), or the pixels get initialised to zero (-br)07:52
mdzno, I'm not surprised either07:52
mdzthe stipple is hardcoded07:53
mdzso someone went to the trouble of creating a command-line option07:53

fabbioneyeah well people.u.o/~fabbione/diff08:14

mdznot enough context08:15
mdzdownloading source now08:15
fabbionemdz: ok08:15
mdzit changes a ton of layouts08:15
fabbionethe diff doesn't contain the fix to the MAXRES -> $MAXRES08:15
fabbionebut i have it here locally08:16
mdz099l_xxf86vm_increase_verbosity actually decreases the verbosity by increasing a macro called DEFAULT_XF86VIDMODE_VERBOSITY08:16
=== mdz scratches his head
danielsmdz: not quite08:16
danielsmdz: the verbosity level is 1 per default for console, 2 per default for logs (-verbose and -logverbose, respectively)08:17
danielsmdz: the way this does it (non-intrusive as possible) is it only prints that message via ErrorF() if the verbosity level is > DEFAULT_XF86VIDMODE_VERBOSITY08:17
mdzand apparently higher values mean less verbose08:17
danielsand it defaults to 308:17
danielsno, higher values mean more verbose08:17
danielsso this patch only prints the strings if verbosity > 308:17
danielsand since it is 1/2 per default ...08:17
danielsthere is a better solution to this, but it's slightly more intrusive08:18
mdzso which part of what I said was incorrect?08:18
mdzit does make it less verbose ("decreases the verbosity")08:18
danielsyes08:19
danielsthe macro is probably unfortunately namede08:19
danielsthe correct fix is to use xf86DrvMsg() for everything, and use X_ERROR/X_WARNING/X_INFO/X_DEBUG as standard defined levels, but that's less intrusive08:19
danielssince it already has the if, just with stupid magic numbers (yay cruft)08:20
danielsmdz: become one with the crack08:20
danielsmdz: (it helps, seriously)08:20

fabbionethe layout needs to be done properly08:37
mdzI can do setxkbmap ca_enhanced fine08:37
mdzwith current Warty X08:38
fabbionemdz: the problem is not when you load ONE layout08:38
fabbionethe problem is in multilayout environments08:38
mdzhow can I test it on the command line?08:38
fabbioneno idea08:38
danielshm08:38
danielsmultikey is apparently compose-like behaviour08:38
danielsso I would posit that changes the behaviour of right alt from a level 3 switch to a multikey level 3 switch08:38
danielse.g. altgr-' (or whatever it is) would no longer be @ on a gb keyboard08:39
danielsbased on that and my tenuous understanding of XKB, I believe the patch to be correct08:39
danielsbut I disclaim that belief as much as possible08:40
mdzso in #1089, Denis said basically that the status quo is correct08:42
mdzunless we convert things from old to new format, which we aren't08:42
mdzthe problem is that we cannot verify anything08:43
mdzthis patch could completely break the hu, vn and mn layouts and we would have no idea08:43
mdzunless some user reported it08:43
fabbioneyes and gnome people will say that is not true and that X is at fault08:43
fabbionemdz: not really. this patch completes the layout08:44
mdzand considering that probably 5 people use those layouts, and 1 of them uses ubuntu, that seems unlikely08:44
fabbionemdz: they were first imported in u2308:44
mdzu23 which was uploaded october 4th08:45
danielsmdz: i think we should just throw our hands up and wontfix that one; there's really nothing we can do08:45
fabbioneor ubuntu2408:45
fabbionelet me check08:45
fabbionei am not a super robot :P08:46
danielswhy not??08:46
fabbionemdz: u2408:46
mdzok, so it is fixing a layout that did not even exist until 1 week ago08:46
fabbioneit's completing the fix for a layout that was supposed to be there and it wasn't in the beginning08:47
mdzI'm OK with 099j_xkb_new_layouts.diff08:48
mdznext up, 099z_xkb_level3_ralt_switch.diff08:48
mdzthis one changes 34 symbol files08:49
mdzincluding en_US which is rather widely used08:49
danielsmdz: as I said before, I believe it changes the meaning of ralt on three-level layouts from a compose-like two-key-presses-for-one-character, to a more traditional altgr-like one-key-press-for-one-character08:50
mdzwhat is a three-level layout?08:50
mdzand why is that change a good idea08:50
mdzI don't see any ubuntu users saying that they expect it to do something different08:51
danielsstandard layouts (e.g. us) are two-level -- you have the keys, and when you press shift, you modify them to use a different 'level', as it were08:51
danielsunfortunately pc104/pc105 isn't sufficient for a lot of people, so they need to go to three-level08:51
danielsso altgr acts in the same way as shift, but produces different results08:51
fabbionemdz: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=27614308:51
danielsso on a gb (england) keyboard, pressing ' gets you ', pressing shift-' gets you ", pressing altgr-' gets you @08:52
daniels(i'm not sure if that's the key @ was on, but I'm sure you get the idea.  they needed an extra symbol to accommodate the euro.)08:52
danielsmost people expect altgr to behave like shift -- immediately switch them to level 3, so the next keypress is treated as a standard level 3 keypress08:52
mdzUnfortunately previous behavior broke other stuff.  This issue is very08:53
mdztricky and won't get fixed in sarge, your best option is to specify08:53
mdzlv3:ralt_switch with altwin:meta_win.  But it does not work at the08:53
mdzmoment, I will make minor changes to let it work soon.08:53
fabbioneand he did08:53
danielsbut, afaict, right now it's being treated as compose-like, where you press two keys to get one (e.g. pressing right alt-u-" on my configration gives me )08:53
danielsthat's multikey08:53
fabbionemdz: i can send the new package to 1089 reportes/etc and see if that's ok08:54
danielsbut I live in pc104/us natively, and the only other language I speak does the same.  so I can't substantiate this with anything much.08:54
mdzthis doesn't even fix 108908:54
mdzit fixes no ubuntu bug08:54
mdzand the debian bug it fixes is not severe08:54
fabbionemdz: 1089 will be fixed with X.org, period08:54
fabbionemdz: it might fix the sticky meta thing08:55
fabbionebut i am not sure08:55
mdzthis is not the time to make blind changes and hope they fix stuff, because they might make things worse08:55
fabbione228808:55
fabbionemdz: read above08:55
fabbionei can ask people to test the package across the weekend08:55
mdzwho?08:55
fabbioneross is very responsive08:56
fabbionefor 228808:56
mdzdoes ross use this kind of layout?08:56
danielsgb (english) keyboards are three-level, yes08:56
fabbionegb yes08:56
danielsactually, dad's laptop downstairs is three-level08:56
danielsi can kick my little sister off it in half an hour, so I'll boot it into SuSE and arse around with XKB there as much as possible08:57
mdzin #2288 it sounds like in an earlier xfree86, we blindly took denis' patches from xfree86 svn, and they broke things for ross08:57
daniels(it has a euro symbol on the third level of 5)08:57
danielsmdz: the reality is, especially with the sparsity of these wacky layouts, most everything we do with xkb is blind08:58
mdzso I am learning08:58
fabbionemdz: if i read correctly the debian bug i pasted before08:58
mdzand that is why I don't want these changes08:58
fabbioneand the fix denis did08:58
fabbionethis change should fix ross problem08:58
fabbioneis that an issue to ask him to test the changes?08:58
danielsyeah, I was about to say08:59
fabbionei can prepare packages in less than a hour08:59
danielsmaybe put up a replacement xlibs on p.u.c/~fabbione/08:59
fabbionedaniels: that was the idea08:59
fabbionemdz: if we get the changes tested, is that ok for you?08:59
mdzfabbione: it doesn't matter if it fixes ross' problem. at all.08:59
mdzwhat matters is what it does to the other thousands of users09:00
mdzregressions09:00
mdzwe cannot regression-test this. at all.09:00
mdzit is not possible09:00
danielscorrect09:01
danielswould we be better served by deferring it to hoary and seeing if anyone complains?  (that's the reality of xkb testing, especially with eleventy billion possible configurations, and that's just for English speakers -- you just hope for the best and see if anyone bitches.)09:02
mdzyes09:02
mdzthat seems to be the only way to do this09:02
danielsi'm happy with that09:02
mdzlet's do an ubuntu25 with "* Fix 1152x768 @ 60 Hz mode. (Closes: #2328)" and "* Fix a nasty bug in frequencies detection logic"09:03
fabbioneok so what do you want me to do?09:03
fabbionerevert the  * In /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86, move lv3 definitions after altwin so09:03
fabbione    that the former can override the latter.  See Bug#276143.09:03
fabbione?09:03
danielsmdz: with or without the GetModeLine and/or gdm changes?09:03
mdzdaniels: Mark says he wants the background change, and I assume that is trivial09:04
danielsmdz: relatively so, yes09:04
mdzrelatively?09:04
mdzon a scale from 0 to XKB...09:04
mdzdaniels: the getmodeline thing seems obviously safe, but I really don't see the point09:05
danielsthe current code doesn't create any actual pixels using a cmap -- it just does 'foo.blackPixel' and 'foo.greyPixel', which are hard-coded into structures, or for -br, it just bzeros a struct, which ends up with a black pixel09:05
mdzit is just some noise in the log file09:05
danielsso it's not quite s/000000/otherhexcode/, it involves creating a pixel and doing a cmap lookup09:05
danielstaking XKB to be 20, I'd say about 1.309:06
danielsmdz: fair cop09:06
mdzif you and fabbione agree on the getmodeline thing, go ahead09:06
fabbionei agree on 099l09:06
fabbioneit is safe to me09:06
mdzI thought xscreensaver wrote a line when it locked anyway, but it seems to only do that when you use xscreensaver-command09:06
mdznot when the timeout elapsed09:06
mdzagreed, it is safe09:06

seb128hey thom 11:30
mdzI need to sleep11:47
mdzcan someone take responsibility for #2389?11:47
mdzi think the patch that I attached is good11:47
mdzthe submitter is testing it11:47
mdzit is a very simple change and is needed to un-break SMB printing for Warty11:47
pittimdz: hmm, no smb prrinter here either; I can assign the bug to me, but I cannot test it11:48
mdzthe submitter is testing11:48
pittimdz: good night, btw11:49
pittimdz: okay, I'll take it11:49
mdzok, thanks11:49
mdznight11:49
pittimdz: shall I upload if he says it's okay? (I look at the patch, too)11:49
mdzpitti: yes; it only changes smbspool in samba, so it should not risk breaking any other printing11:49
mdzI don't think anything else uses smbspool, but even if it did, cupsys is more important11:49
mdzthis is the only way to fix the security vulnerability properly11:49
pittimdz: right, printing is critical; good night!11:50
mdzif successful, the patch needs to go upstream and to Debian11:50
mdzDebian has an incomplete fix, and upstream's fix (which we used) broke smb printing11:50
mdzgood night11:50
mdzreally11:50

jdubrburton: gamin will be an acceptable replacement for fam in the hoary timeframe ;)11:58
rburtonjdub: so i should remove it from my laptop then? :)11:59
jdubrburton: i'm using it atm11:59
jdubrburton: some funny probs with nautilus desktop notifications11:59
rburtoni don't use nautilus for the desktop on my laptop, so that's not a problem :)11:59

rburtonand i keep the fam package?12:01
rburtonor can that be removed too12:01
thomseb128/jdub/rburton: we're really gonna need a clean way to add stuff to the gnome session via packages for hoary; the xsession stuff happens too early (afaict) for stuff like networkmanager/fun things with powermanagement 12:06
rburtonthere are rumours of a new session manager for 2.1012:06
jdubthom: have you looked at msm in gnome cvs?12:06
thomis upstream looking at having somethiung like /etc/gnome/session.d or similar, and if not can we do something about it?12:06
thomjdub: no?12:06
jdubrburton: gamin and libs conflict with fam12:06
jdubthom: maybe check it out12:07
jdubthom: some of those ideas were behind it12:07
rburtonjdub: not in sid they don't, i presume you need to update the package there12:07
jdubrburton: hrm?!12:07
thomjdub: ok. is that likely to happen in 2.10?12:07
jdubpotentially12:08
jdubit has not been discussed as prominently as other things12:08
thomright, so it needs evaluating testing and pushing?12:09

thomrburton/jdub: I'm trying to concoct a reasonable upstream bug report for #1358; is there a gconf that specifies what the Desktop directory is, or is it just always ~/Desktop unless desktop-is-home-dir (or whatever that key is called) is selected?03:36
jdubthe latter03:37
rburtonwhat jdub said03:37
thomright, so Firefox should probably just use ~/Desktop in a gnome environment if it's there, and if not fall back to the home dir?03:37
thom(or use the gconf key, if firefox can do that)03:38

lamont_rsomehow, that doesn't completely surprise me.08:40
amurunning a ... the "normal" brown background 08:40
lamont_rI wonder if ubuntu-desktop would take us over the top..08:41
amuthere's also a problem with detecting video-cards 08:41
amurestarting gnome-panel than it works 08:42
amuempty desktop ... you should add some icons on it :) 08:42
lamont_ryes08:43
amuwhats the problem with the bootsplash ?  08:44
lamont_rI need to figure out what file to change.08:47

lamont_rthanks08:48
amujust i second .. i guess alex do it in another way 08:49
amus/i/a/08:49
lamont_rif -20 here fits (and the build succeeds), I'm inclined to put that out as a pre-rc for a day to get more feedback on it..08:51
amuyes message was it08:58
amufucking complicated to generate one, you need suse's sources ;)  08:59
lamont_rwon't happen before naptime then08:59
amulamont_r: it's urgent ? probably better if you wait 2-3 days more *g* 09:00
lamont_rhrm.. maybe we should get ubunut.com :-)09:09
=== lamont_r arranges to get all the bits he needs at home, so that he can test there.
lamont_ramu: -20 is ready to snarf09:16
=== lamont_r has a real good idea of one source of issues, that will require a nap before I tackle it...
amuisnt it better to send me the message file ? 09:17
lamont_r-20 has all of ubuntu-desktop in it, rather than just pieces.09:18
amursync ? 09:18
lamont_rthe other source of issues is that some of the packages may be coming from the wrong repository09:19
lamont_rrsync doesn't buy very much at all with the huge hunk of compressed blob in the CD>09:19
lamont_rtakes it from 560 down to somethign like 540 or so, in my experience.09:19
lamont_rand p.u.c doesn't have rsync set up.09:19
lamont_ramu: how many more hours will you be awake?09:20
lamont_ramu: I expect that the package with the message file in it is one of the ones under http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/local/warthog/09:21
amu.... just ping me, guess 3-4h more i'm here09:24

lamont_rin about 45 minutes, I need to go fetch kids from school, buzz past the doctors office, and go fetch a pair of CD's to take home.  Somewhere in there, I'd really like to get the rest of last night's sleep :(09:31
lamont_rbut I should be in a better position to build test images (one of those CD's is the rest of the .debs that I'm missing at home to do the build)09:32
amudid you generated the splash with mkbootmsg ? 09:32
lamont_rthe only one I've even touched is the one in local/warthog/bootsplash-theme-warty, which would be the one with people in it.09:33
lamont_rbrb09:33

amui told you before, you need gfx source packages. bootsplash-theme-warty is the splash-theme while booting the kernel, detecting the hw 09:46
amuwhat you need isnt in your archive. That cost me once a time 1/2 night to figure out, what about those dammed splashes *g*  09:47
amus/what/whats09:47
lamont_ramu: if you want to crunch through building the files I'll need, (and how to do that..), that'd be wonderful. :-)09:48
amuyust send me the pic, 5min. later you get your messagefile  09:48
=== amu inserts a trasparent al-kaido message in it *fg*
lamont_rgrab ubuntu-artwork from the warty archive, and then grab /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/background.jpg09:49
lamont_rbut I do need to understand the process so that I can do it later.. :(09:50
amujust joking i`ll send you the sources and you do it ;) 09:51

dokohmm, noticing that /etc/debian_version still lists testing/unstable. I know we have /etc/lsb-release, but we should change /etc/debian_version to something different than the current.10:25

aswsivang: absolutely but, say, I have a book "the emacs manual" with an invariant section "the gnu manifesto", surely, the extra work of evaluting such contributions on a case by case basis is worth the trouble (if you care about freedom.)11:19
