=== alextreme [~alex@am.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdubmdz: uploaded12:05
jdubbeing tested atm12:05
lamontjdub: it's clearly showing gnome-splash.png12:07
lamontany chance that it just doesn't like the symlink?12:07
jdubthat'd be livecd specific12:08
alextremei'm sure it is. annoying issue, especially as it did work in earlier builds12:13
lamontjdub: what should we be using in place of the globe shot for bootsplash?12:14
jdubsabdfl/jane/i chose circle of friends background last week12:15
jdubsabdfl: your call on changing that one :)12:15
lamontcurrently have http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~lamont/background.png12:15
=== chrisa is now known as chrisa|duncecap
=== chrisa|duncecap is now known as chrisa
sabdflok guys, which image should we use for livecd boot splash?12:18
sabdflmy vote is the new gdm login (Human)12:18
sabdflwithout the login12:18
lamonturl?12:19
sabdflwould look good with the orange / yello progress bar12:19
alextremeindeed, would be a nice choice12:19
lamontalextreme: is that also 15-index?12:19
alextremeno, thats the 16bit 1024x768 jpg12:19
alextremeubuntulinux.org had it on the frontpage last time i checked12:20
lamontalextreme: I mean that we need12:20
lamontthe package currently has a very small .png12:20
alextremewhich one? the gfxboot theme?12:21
=== mvo_ [~egon@suprimo-218.ping.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sabdfli have the image, can convert it12:23
lamontmorphix-wathog-background12:23
sabdflsave as 1024x768 png?12:23
sabdflanything special in the save?12:24
chrisaCan the d-i version on the ubuntu discs install the base system without requiring the user use the partitioner (ie: I mount / to /target manually) ?12:24
alextremelamont: afaik that isn't even used12:24
jdubsabdfl: mmm, bright :)12:24
lamontalextreme: then where does it get that image?12:24
sabdflwant me to tone it down a shade?12:25
alextremelamont: from ubuntu-artwork12:25
alextremelamont: and the miniroot gets it from the bootsplash udeb package12:25
lamontalextreme: ah, cool.12:26
=== lamont gets his archive current and builds another home-edition
sabdflalextreme: it needs the ubuntu log layered over the top12:27
sabdflwill send you a version directly, or should it go to lamont?12:27
sabdfljust save as png, or do i need to do something special?12:27
=== lamont will be building
lamontjust need to know where to put it...12:27
alextremesabdfl: bootsplash only uses jpg afaik12:28
alextremeand indeed, lamont has more use of it12:28
Kamionchrisa: not sure, in theory it might be possible to mount /target etc. by hand but I've never tried it12:29
Kamionchrisa: feel free to try it, but you may run into a few issues12:30
chrisaKamion: I just recall d-i having a way to skip the partitioner, however I can't recall how12:31
Kamionchrisa: d-i might have had that a long time ago, but not recently12:31
Kamionchrisa: you'll have to hack something to persuade main-menu to stop trying to run the partitioner due to udeb dependencies12:31
lamontfile background.png 12:31
lamontbackground.png: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.0112:31
lamontyou tell me....12:31
Kamionchrisa: is running the partitioner actively harmful?12:32
chrisaKamion: What seems to be a bug in parted is keeping it from seeing partitions on my main drive12:32
mjg59Kamion: Bleah, I utterly failed to be organised enough to sort out getting that laptop off you today12:32
Kamioncan you run the partitioner and do nothing in it?12:32
mjg59When's good for you?12:32
chrisafdisk can see the partitions, booting to debian and trying parted there has the same trouble12:32
Kamionmjg59: I'm still up, about to go out briefly anyway, if you're still up then I can come over12:33
chrisaKamion: It will then complain no root is specified12:33
Kamionchrisa: true, that just occurred to me too12:33
KamionI'd attempt to hack /var/lib/dpkg/status but this is an expert option :)12:33
alextremelamont: i guess that kind of .png would work too :)12:33
mjg59Kamion: Ok, I guess that works - are you driving? If not, it seems a bit far to go out of your way12:33
Kamiondriving, yes12:34
Kamionabout to go see if Tesco's still open12:34
mjg59Ah, ok :)12:35
mjg59If that's not a problem, then that'd be cool12:36
mjg59I'm at 6 Petworth Street12:36
mjg59Don't suppose you have a spare piece of cat 5, too? :)12:36
Kamionthink so, yes12:36
Kamionshortish12:36
KamionI forgot to do the install, do you need a CD?12:37
mjg59Urgh. yes, if possible - I lent mine to someone and haven't got it back12:37
dokomdz, jdub: mvo just pointed out to me, that two ISDN related packages would be really nice to have on the CD ... pppdcapiplugin and isdnactivecards. I know, very late.12:37
sabdflso png or jpg?12:38
lamontjpg12:38
Mitarioyay! is it tomorrow already?12:38
Mitario:p12:38
=== Mitario fades back into the background again
sabdfllamont: png would be better quality, can it handle either?12:38
jdubdoko: i don't want to change anything like that at this stage, even additions to the cd12:38
lamontsabdfl: really no idea12:38
lamontas it sits, the old globe-centered thing was 28KB of jpg12:40
lamontin a file named background.png12:40
sabdflnice12:40
lamontI could sure try png first12:40
sabdflwill send you both12:40
lamontk12:40
mvo_jdub: I certainly understand that. the problem for people using isdn is, that they won't be able to connect to the internet without those two packages. but I'm also very nervous about a change like this12:42
lamontsabdfl: if you sent them, I didn't see them...12:42

lamontemail?12:44
alextremelamont: about alsa probing?12:45
sabdflmvo_: do those packages affect anything in the install?12:45
lamontI think so12:45
sabdflcan't touch the installer12:45
Kamionthose two packages are not in warty currently12:46
mvo_yes, they are universe12:46
alextremelamont: didn't you get my jabber msg last night? I uploaded a new version of morphix-base-conf with reversed loading, but wasn't sure if it worked12:47
sabdfllamont: they arrive?12:47
sabdfl100kb jpg, 280kb png12:47
lamontsabdfl: can you toss them somewhere wget'able/scp able12:48
Kamionmvo_: as I understand it, elmo is currently travelling, which means we'd need to push the CD builds *way* back in order to add new packages from universe.12:48

Kamionmdz: fairly certain nothing's changed there though ...01:24
Kamionmdz: oh, there was the "/etc/environmment" fix, I guess01:24
Kamionthat fixed a different bug01:25

=== Kamion starts another CD build
=== thom goes to bed
=== lamont screams, bangs head against wall
mdzKamion,jdub,sabdfl: is this the one?01:29
Kamionmdz: depends whether you think the en_US thing's a showstopper01:30
mdzKamion: depends on whether it happens with the new CD build :-)01:30
Kamionmy question is more why it didn't happen before01:30
mdzI am clueless on that point01:31
mdzI didn't even notice it when I tested the CD01:31
mdzbecause I didn't run perl from the command line until now01:31
KamionI don't think it'll break anything, just generate warnings01:32

Kamionen_US is lucky to be close enough to C for most things that you tend not to notice locale problems01:32
KamionI don't even know why LANGUAGE is set at all, to be honest01:32
mdzneither do I01:33
mdzI don't think it was previously01:33
Kamionif it turns out to be a showstopper I'm half-inclined to delete it, but the possible consequences are numerous and hard to test01:33
Kamionat least in base-config01:33
mdzmaybe gdm mangles it01:33
Kamionit could be that base-config used to mangle it01:33
Kamionit has been set for a long time01:33
Kamionanyway, I'm going over to mjg59's, back soon01:34

=== lamont isolates the bootsplash issue, deals with it.

lamontsabdfl: btw, 16-bit colors, /me converted01:49
lamontjdub: would me running in 16-bit space explain the gnome-splash picking the wrong one?01:50
=== mjg59 obtains the craptop
mjg59It's so crap it can't even scale 640x480 to 1024x768 without making a huge mess01:51

mjg59Yeah01:51
lamontsigh01:52
jdublamont: no01:52

mjg59Ooh, it's got a nipples install01:52
chrisasabdfl: Just a bunch of hacks so I could get around the partitioner01:53
lamontnew and improved builds running (home and DC), with hopefully correct art, and maybe even sound01:54
sabdflmjg59: think of it as a challenge more than a gift :-)01:55
sabdfllamont: to jpg, or png?01:55
lamont1024x768, 16-bit jpeg only01:57
Kamionmdz: the safest fix I can think of is to prepend LANG to LANGUAGE01:57
Mitarioi love hacky mockup coding01:57
sabdflok, how's it look?01:57
mjg59That's interesting01:57
lamontlooked good on the machine where I changed it.  We'll see what the laptop says.01:58
mjg59I hadn't previously noticed that the craptop had two sets of volume keys01:58
Kamionmjg59: realised I forgot to set a useful password for you, but I assume you booted recovery and got on with life01:58
lamontbtw, when I'm scrounging surplus stores looking for a G3 or later, what kind of price should I be expecting?01:58
mjg59Kamion: Yeah, sorted01:59
Kamionmdz: I have LANG=en_US and LANGUAGE=en_GB:en_US:en, but perl doesn't warn02:00
Kamioninstall not finished yet02:01

sabdflmdz, what's the earliest we can do tomorrow?02:08
mdzlamont: live CD status?02:08
=== sabdfl wonders if mjg59 is looking at kamion in horror right now
mdzdo we have a live CD release candidate?02:08
lamonteta 8 minutes to a testing image02:09
lamontat some point, well need to push the liveCD RC to little etc., which is beyond my scope...02:11
Kamionmdz: if I'm crashed, '/srv/cdimage.no-name-yet.com/bin/cron.daily' should be sufficient to build a CD, no need for DATE_SUFFIX hacking like before.02:11
mdzKamion: ok, I'll likely stay up until you're awake02:11
Kamionmdz: feel free to phone me if need be, it may wake me up :)02:12
alextremelamont: i have access to little, if Kamion is busy02:12
lamontso does mdz, etc.02:12

mdzthat's expected?03:40
jdubwell, known03:40
jdubcan you do this:03:40
jdubgrep -A 4 splash_image /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas03:41
jdubi don't think lamont answered that earlier03:41
mdzOct 19 14:56:40 <jdub>  what does 'grep -A 3 splash_image /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas' say on the livecd?03:42
mdzOct 19 15:00:38 <lamont>                 <default>splash/ubuntu-splash.png</default>03:42
mdzOct 19 15:02:20 <lamont>        which is the nekid ppl, so it's just as well that it's b0rke03:42
mdzI checked it in the running system, and it's the same03:43
jdubsee, that oughta work :)03:43
mdzthe file is present, a symlink to ubuntu-logo-508x340.png03:43
jdubunless there's some gconf b0rk on the cd03:43
jdubmdz: type this:gconftool-2 --get /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image03:44
mdzshould gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image show somethinG?03:44
mdzjust tried that, it comes up blank03:44
mdzgconftool-2 -g /schemas/... gives the value, though03:44
jdubthere's our problem03:44
mdzgreat. how do we fix it?03:46
jdubdunno03:46
jdubwill probably have to boot the livecd to nut it out03:46
jdubhow about03:46
jdubls /tmp/gconf-* ?03:46
jdubls /tmp/gconfd-* ?03:46
jdubsorry03:46

jdubyeah03:53
jdubthat's the root for the splash03:53
jdubso it's got a zero length string, and tried to load it03:53
jdub(which i~ s kinda bong)03:53
jdubbut the big issue is gconf not correctly pulling from the schemas03:54
jdub$ grep -v ^# /etc/gconf/2/path03:54
jameshjdub: possibly because the user gconf database sets it to an empty string?03:54
jamesh(based on what mdz pasted)03:54
jdubjamesh: that's why gnome-session is borked, but we're trying to work out why the user database is borked03:55
jdubthe gnome-session thing is a result of that03:55
jameshdoes this user gconf database get unpacked from the live CD?03:56

tbermantseng: cant you just split gtk-sharp-docs into its own package?05:32
tbermantseng: actually, you dont really need to05:32
tsenghm i suppose05:32
tbermantseng: monodoc the tarball ships with gtk# docs05:32
jdubit still wouldn't build, though05:32
tbermantseng: and gtk# doesn't make docs on its own05:32
tsengjdub: oh?05:32
jdub(splitting a docs package out, the entire source won't build so you won't get any binary packages)05:33

tsengof monodoc.06:24
lamontoh. you're looking at the build logs.06:24
lamontum, well...06:24
lamontmonodoc's is missing06:24
lamontlibgtk-cil is installable on i38606:24
lamontand pulls in 46 other packages06:25
tseng46?06:25
lamontabove and beyond a build-essential chroot, that is.06:25
lamontnormal system it'd be lots less.06:25
tsengoh06:25
tsengyeah its only a couple here06:26
lamontdebconf is one of the 46, for example.06:26
=== tseng nods.
tsengso, has monodoc failed to build since this log?06:26
tbermantseng: why does gtk-sharp want monodoc?06:26
lamontlibgtk-cil is installable on powerpc as well.06:27
tbermantseng: i still dont understand that.06:27
tsengtberman: ask the debian packagers I guess06:27
lamonttseng: monodoc has successfully built since that log.06:27
tbermantseng: fuck the debian packagers06:27
tsenglamont: ahhh, wonderful06:27
tbermantseng: they are fucking useless.06:27
tbermantseng: gtk-sharp doesnt need monodoc.06:27
tsengtberman: well i mostly followed their shit06:27
tbermantseng: the monodoc tarball installs gtk-sharp docs for you06:27
lamonttseng: problem is that I do the bootstrapping in the magical distribution of "warty.lj", which never logs.06:27
tsengtberman: ok06:27
tsengtberman: hey, since you know mono, and you arent lame, maybe you can help me do things right next time06:28
tsenglamont: ah, sorry for the runaround then06:28
lamontI should really push the logs from the last round of bootstrapping, but I'm counting on that infrastructure really being there soon...06:28
tsenglamont: i only know what shows up in the log06:28
tbermantseng: you seem to do most things pretty damn well :)06:28
tsengthats why im famous!06:29
tbermantseng: and yes, im willing to help06:29
lamonttseng: to make matters even more fun, arch: all-only packages aren't even in ~lamont/buildLogs/Lists/* unless they're out of date06:29
tsenghm06:29
lamontbut that's understandable if you dig deep enough..  But it's pretty smelly there.06:29
tsengonce you guys are done hauling ass to get warty out, mayhap I can learn your processes better and be less of a burden06:30
lamonttseng: my sequence is to see what's in the archive, then (when it's not there), go look for buildd status (buildLogs/Lists/warty.all.${ARCH}), then worry about what's in the log06:31
lamonttseng: the whole current buildLogs infrastructure is a hack thrown together to eliminate the old process.  That was "ask lamont", and very annoying all around.06:31
lamontbecause I'm not here 24x706:31
tsengheh.06:31
danielstseng: not a burden at all -- thanks for the mono packages :)06:31
tsengnps06:32
lamonttseng: and getting the team to leave me alone leaves room to check on other packages.  No real issue at all.06:32

lamontjdub: certainly.06:32

lamontif it's not there, and has arch-specific components, then we excluded it from that architecture for some reason.06:34

lamontfabbione: well, unless we rip a new one for the muted audio, it's the last one, I hope... Certainly the latest06:48
mdzlamont: yes, that should fix the gnome splash06:48
mdzlamont: what about the funny grub progress meter?06:48
lamontmdz: I've decided it looks cute.06:49

fabbionegetting the LiveCD now06:50
mdzlamont: but you do see the same thing?06:50

mdzlamont: there's a 'marillat' flag in debian/rules to do what you want for autobuilding07:03
mdzbut probably we just want to fix it to build a regular i386 binary with runtime CPU detection07:04

lamontthe data center version is canonical, of course.09:03
sivanglamont : oh you made builts from in your house? But you can teach people to use the restart and then choose it from grub09:03
lamontsivang: I don't have bandwidth to be transferring huge iso's about..  this way was easier...09:04
lamontalthough it does require careful cloning of changes, but that's not so bad.09:04

lamontcool.09:05
lamontsivang: hence the "process check" on my CD builds.09:05

lamontto the house? ~300kbits/sec, but anything over 56kbps counts towards a monthly quota09:07
bob2lamont: well post-warty and post-sleep , could I bug you for a bit to help me bootstrap ghc6 on ppc?09:07
lamontbob2: np09:08
bob2cool, thanks.09:08
sivanglamont : I've got 750Kbits. No monthly quota, however that comes back at me in the form of very and I mean, very bad service...:-)09:09
lamontbob2: here's the trick: deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/06/28/debian unstable main09:09
lamontbob2: I've declared the end of bootstrapping already, or I'd toss it in.09:10
bob2lamont: build it in an ubuntu chroot using some dependencies from snapshot, then rebuild with the new ubuntu package?09:10
lamontbob2: add that deb line to sources.list, build in the warty chroot.  use those debs + warty only to build it again09:11
lamontremember to apt-get clean in the middle, of course09:11
bob2lamont: right, makes sense.09:11
bob2heh, right09:11
lamontmuch easier to bootstrap warty than it is to bootstrap a completely new architecture...09:11
bob2heh, I bet.09:12
bob2can something I build go into universe at some point, or at least let you easily rebuild it on the buildd's?09:12
lamontnew architecture requires that you actually understand what you're doing... 09:12
lamontif you have a clean archive, or can point me at one (and the right order of things to build to break the circular dep-wait-chain-of-dispair), then it's easy to get the builds done.09:13
lamontbut binaries in the archive all come from the buildds09:14
bob2ah, fair enough09:14
lamontalthough I must admit that sometimes the man behind the curtain helps the buildds out a bit..09:14
lamontsince it's build A, use A to build B, throw away A, upload B09:15
lamontwhere A and B are the same package, etc.09:15
bob2ah09:15

=== giard [~jonathan@pool-151-199-117-149.roa.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittithom: the problem was that g-v-m can't determine the device path for a removed hal id, right?01:27
pittithom: because hal already delted the db entry01:27
thomcorrect01:27
thomyep01:27
thomso g-v-m would have to keep a cache of what it's mounted, and the hal id01:27
pittithom: I discussed that with sjoerd, hal should not be changed to remember the data after removal01:27
pittithom: yes; g-v-m currently manages a list of mounted devices (or, rather hal ids)01:28
pittithom: this could be changed into a mapping hal id -> device01:28
pittithom: and we were done01:28
thomright, that sounds good01:28
pittithom: I recently had to introduce this moutn list to keep track of mounts01:28
pittithom: so we can as well do it completely right01:29
=== jamesh [~james@203-59-18-194.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittithom: the only problem is that this won't work any more if the user rips out a device after he logged out01:29
pittithom: my favourite solution would still be to have the kernel automatically unmount a device lazily, but that's more difficult to push upstream01:29
thompitti: yeah, that would be the best solution, but as you say, it's tricky to get in01:31
thombut yes, your approach with g-v-m sounds good to me01:32
jameshpitti: until we have inotify, many devices won't lazy unmount anyway ...01:32
pittithom: I don't really see a reason why it should _not_ be done in the kernel01:32
pittithom: do you?01:32
pittijamesh: why not?01:32
pittijamesh: this works fine currently01:32
thompitti: I can't think of one01:32
jameshpitti: if there is a trash dir, Nautilus will have a dnotify watch on the drive even if no windows are open.01:33
pittijamesh: but still umount -l should work?01:33
jameshpitti: no.01:33
jamesha lazy unmount will wait til all open files are closed01:34
jameshand the dnotify watch is an open file01:34
pittijamesh: huh? why not? I've never seen a lazy unmount fail01:34
=== AndyFitz [~andy@220.245.97.227] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jameshpitti: by not work, I mean the unmount won't complete01:34
pittijamesh: well, the /proc/mounts entry should be gone in all cases, but of course the device is still accessed01:35
jameshthe "umount -l" call will return, but the kernel won't actually unmount the device til all open files are closed01:35
pittijamesh: I think I just misunderstood you01:35
pittiyes, right01:35
jameshit isn't safe to remove the drive til the unmount has really completed, right?01:36
pittiright01:36
pittiumount -l just prevents opening new files on it01:36
pittiso new processes don't see the mount any more01:36
pittibut existing file descriptors remain vallid01:36
pittivalid01:36
jameshbut fam/nautilus will still have an open file handle01:36
jameshsince they were watching the .Trash-username directory on that volume01:37
pittifor the .Trash?01:37
jameshyeah.01:37
pittiah,y es01:37
pittibut still some thingy should unmount -l the device after a removal01:37
pittithis does not solve the data corruption, but keeps the mtab clean01:38
pittithat's our actual problem01:38
pitti(for now)01:38
jameshwith inotify, you don't actually have to open a file descriptor on the volume01:38
pittioh, that sounds promising01:38
jameshso watching for changes on the volume doesn't prevent the volume from being unmounted01:38
pittiso inotify is kernel based, and dnotify is userspace?01:38
jameshboth are kernel interfaces01:38
=== pitti did not deal with inotify up to now
pittiah, but dnotify requires to open a file01:39
pitti?01:39
jameshyeah.01:39
pitti"i" like inode?01:39
jameshwith dnotify, you open the directory and run a special fcntl() on it.  Then the kernel sends a SIGIO signal whenever any of the directories you are watching change01:39
pittiah, and it is required to keep the dir open?01:40
jameshwith inotify, you open a device (/dev/inotify, I think), send some ioctl()'s to say what you want to watch, then read events from the device01:40
pittisounds much nicer01:40
pittithanks for the explanation!01:40
jameshyes.  dnotify requires you to keep open all the directories you want to watch01:40
=== pitti looks forward to the future
pittijamesh: do you now whether 2.6.9 already has it?01:41
jameshso the file descriptor limit is also the maximum number of directories you can watch with dnotify.01:41
mjg59pitti: 2.6.9 doesn't have it01:41
__danieljamesh, i guess you'll have some other file descriptors around, already :-)01:42
pittibut it is planned for the near future?01:42
mjg592.6.10 stands a good chance01:42
jameshpitti: http://tech9.net/rml/log/2004092201.html <- some details on inotify from Rob Love.01:42
pittiah, this guy again :-)01:42
jameshpitti: the other nice thing is that Gamin (Daniel Veillard's FAM replacement) already supports inotify.01:44
jameshpitti: since it is ABI compatible with FAM, it should be trivial to switch over.01:45
pittinice01:45
pittiI already heard jdub talk about gamin01:45
thom(gamin's in universe already)01:45

bob2novell is funding some very interesting devlopement01:45
thombob2: gamin is RHAT, but yes :-)01:46
bob2oh01:46

jameshpitti: about your gnome-vfs/g-v-m question, gnome-vfs can be used to mount a drive, provided that there is an entry in /etc/fstab with the "user" option.04:42
jameshpitti: it doesn't have a way to represent an unmounted volume without an entry in /etc/fstab04:42
pittijamesh: which I don't have...04:42
pittijamesh: I already tried with ..._get_connected_drives()04:43
pittijamesh: but it doesn't work04:43
pittijamesh: I think for this to work, gvfs needs to be compiled with hal support04:43
jameshpitti: in gnome-vfs, a GnomeVFSDrive _is_ an entry in the fstab file04:43
mdzlamont: how did the testing go on the live CD?04:44
pittijamesh: I would construct a GnomeVFSDrive structure manually, but the interesting parts are private04:44
pittijamesh: actually I just need a public interface to gnome_vfs_volume_mount04:44
pittijamesh: so no chance?04:44
lamontmdz: fabbione had booted it before I went to bed, and seemd good to him.04:44
jameshpitti: probably not.04:44
lamonthaving said that...04:44
lamontit doesn't have the firmware in it04:44
pittijamesh: I find it a bad design to patch both gvfs and g-v-m to use pmount04:44
lamontand I f*&& the alsa startup link04:45
jameshpitti: however, there isn't as much reason to prefer gnome_vfs_volume_mount() over directly calling pmount04:45
pittijamesh: but thanks! I guess we have to live with that for a while...04:45
pittijamesh: oh, there was04:45
lamontso some sound (at least) will still be muted - got reports that it was working now, so didn't think about that until this AM either.04:45
jameshpitti: none of the issues with dnotify that affect umount() apply here04:45
pittijamesh: we could leave g-v-m alone and sync it to Debian04:45
lamont20041020-14 has firmware, still no alsa fix04:45
pittijamesh: and g-v-m would be mount program agnostic04:45
sivanglamont : have you had good reports for booting the live cd on dell inspirons?04:46
lamontand that's being grabbed by Riddell for process check04:46
lamontsivang: only your "no good" report04:46
sivanglamont : ok, then maybe it's something wrong with the download :(04:46
lamontI've had some images that were unhappy, where reburning helped.04:46
jameshpitti: I don't know whether it is recommended to enable HAL support in gnome-vfs yet.04:46
lamont(and btw, if the CD-R says 8X, you shouldn't burn at 32x :-( )04:46
pittijamesh: me neither, I think I just leave it as it is by now04:47
amulamont: thx 04:47
pittijamesh: was the counterpart to gnome_vfs_volume_unmount just forgotten, isn't it there on purpose?04:47
pittijamesh: s/,/, or/04:48
jameshpitti: a GnomeVFSVolume is a mounted volume04:48
jameshpitti: so it is already mounted :)04:48
=== pitti dreams about GnomeVFSVolume* gnome_vfs_volume_mount( const char* device_node )
jamesha GnomeVFSDrive represents something that can be mounted, so there is a gnome_vfs_drive_mount()04:48
=== lamont adds md5sums to the directorues
jameshideally, we should be getting a GnomeVFSDrive for USB sticks, etc04:49
=== pitti changes his dream to GnomeVFSDrive* gnome_vfs_drive_mount( const char* device_node )
pittiby now I already needa GVFsDrive to mount a GVFSDrive, which is kind of pointless for my needs :-)04:49

lamontand the penultimate word should be 'in', not 'at'.04:54
mdzyes, it's written with plaintext formatting04:55
sivangmako : it basically sums it up isn't it?04:55
sabdflmdz: livecd situation is... flaky, bad bugs on test laptops here, but still go for rc afaics04:55
mdzlamont: is the fix for the alsa thing trivial?04:55
Riddelllamont: it didn't boot for me04:55
Riddelllamont: don't know if that's due to a bad burn or not04:55
lamontmdz: trivial04:56

Kamionreleases.u.c synced, PLEASE SANITY-CHECK05:21
elmo_mdz: also, shall I untouchable it05:21
elmo_mdz: or are you still planning to change universe post-release?05:21
mdzI don't see Description: in the Release files that apt downloaded?05:21
Kamionmdz: dists/warty/Release, not dists/warty/main/binary-i386/Release ...05:22
mdzelmo_: I think we'll probably mess with universe post-release, but it would be very nice to have the safeguard for main+restricted05:22
mdzelmo_: if it's not possible to do them separately, let's untouchable the whole thing for now; it's reversible, right?05:22
elmo_ok I'll untouchable it, and figure out how to de-untouchable universe later05:22
lamontmdz: I'd just as soon freeze universe as well05:22
mdzlamont: is mplayer still completely borked?05:23

fabbioneKamion: do you know who had the insane idea to add the -live cd to the daily build?05:43

They are also still offering to ship CDs to interested folks free of charge.</p>07:18

mxpxpodquestion: if gcc 3.3 is the default, why does libgtkmm-2.4-dev install gcc-3.4?08:32
__danieloh: http://www.infodrom.org/~joey/log/?20041020184308:33
mdzmxpxpod: it doesn't08:33
mxpxpodmdz: it does on ppc08:34
Kamionit's entirely possible and reasonable for a package to want a non-default gcc08:34
Kamionare you sure you don't mean gcc-3.4-base, though?08:35
mdzit would be rather odd for it to depend on gcc at all08:35
Kamionindeed08:35
Kamionin any case, libgtkmm-2.4-dev is in universe ...08:35
mxpxpodwhen I do apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev, it installs cpp-3.4, g++-3.4, and gcc-3.408:36
Kamionit's likely to be easier to find out what depends on it using a package management frontend a little more sophisticated than apt-get08:37
mdzseems to be specific to powerpc08:37
Kamiondselect would tell you; I assume aptitude will too08:37
mdzit's due to libstdc++6-dev Depends: g++-3.408:38
mxpxpodoh, nice08:38
mdzand something in that chain depends on libstdc++-dev, which is provided by libstdc++6-dev08:38
Kamionstill, universe :)08:38
mdzyep08:38
KamionI'm guessing 3.4 will become the default by hoary, if not that then by grumpy08:38

Kamionno, but libgtkmm-2.4-dev is08:39
Kamionthere's libstdc++5-dev08:39
__danielunfortunately libxml++-2.*-dev isnt :-(08:39
mxpxpodKamion: so, is it a problem with libgtkmm-2.4-dev depending on libstdc++6-dev?08:41
mdzno, it doesn't08:41
