[12:03] bbl [12:03] lamont_r: do you plan another iso ? [12:03] .. just took -16 ;) [12:03] yes. Plan to burn one with (hopefully) new artwork for grub screen, and definitely WinFOSS 0.4, in about 6 hours. [12:04] I'm currently installing ubuntu's gnome 2.8 on my sid system in an attempt to see what explodes. This should prove interesting [12:04] right now, must run. [12:04] chrisa: you're sick, you know. [12:04] good luck [12:04] lamont_r: cu [12:13] wow, it worked [12:16] try with woody ;) [12:17] heh [12:17] I should probably pin this correctly === theantix [~ryan@80.185.novustelecom.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:20] if it runs <1 Week, you win a Beer and become the master of moving bits. === chrisa looks at the spare hardware in the office and grins [12:23] upgrading from sarge, that manages even my 3 year old daughter:) [12:24] .. or sid ;) [12:25] <__daniel> amu, that's what my dog did last night :-) [12:27] Ahh, I think you know also storry with the chicken ;) [12:27] <__daniel> amu, erm... no i dont :-) [12:28] which debian installed.... [12:29] <__daniel> amu, not really, but i hope there's someone who tells it to me as a good night tale :-) [12:29] no tale, you should ask joey about it ;) [12:31] there are much more interessting things, like sending tcp packages with pigeon ;) [12:33] <__daniel> amu, hehe... yesterday they talked about the good old times in 1903 were the internet was still cool and they had to carry packages up- and downhill even in the snow - that reminded me of those pigeons :-) [12:38] <__daniel> amu, haha, found the chickens on http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=0172 :-) [12:40] live is interesting ;) [12:42] Ng: if you're certain that you are correct about it being a duplicate, then it is very helpful for you to mark it [12:42] mdz: ok, I'll make sure I check it thoroughly [12:42] thanks [12:43] Ng: if you are unsure, then feel free to comment [12:43] and someone will review and confirm [12:43] ok, cool :) [12:44] is there policy yet about modifying things to use gksudo/sudo? e.g. gnome-system-tools uses su, but appears to be easily modifyable to use sudo su as a quick hack. would that be frowned upon? === jdahlin [~jdahlin@14.Red-80-39-193.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:46] Ng: our g-s-t uses gksudo [12:47] Ng: things which use su in the Ubuntu desktop are bugs [12:47] jdub: the desktop entries do, but you can make it use internal routines that call su, e.g. the "Configure" button in Applications->System->Network Tool [12:47] Ng: that bug is already reported (twice) [12:48] oh, that's a different module [12:48] and it is bad that it wasn't fixed [12:48] but i don't think anyone realised that was in the new version [12:48] mdz: I know, fessing up, I didn't actually wait for your answer before marking the duplicate ;) [12:48] and I'm part way to a patch for it [12:49] if it's a simple and safe fix, that'd be a good candidate for warty-updates [12:50] mdz: would we consider it 'high-impact', 'dataloss' or 'security'? [12:50] it is looking like it'll be pretty simple, I'm just tying what is mostly a one liner into autoconf. the only snag I have hit is that there is a string that says "root password" that could use rewording and thus translation :/ [12:50] it uses it's own su foo? [12:51] jdub: given that two people have run into it already, apparently it's functionality in the desktop that people use, it's broken, and there's a trivial fix [12:51] jdub: it spawns a pty, runs su and the module with it, feeding it the pw [12:51] ok, maybe not so trivial :-) [12:51] src/common/gst-auth.c (last function) [12:51] i *hate* that === jdub is reminded to add permissions elevation to HH [12:52] it seems to work just making the su_args array one larger by putting sudo as arg[0] :) [12:52] I'm curious about the development model. Do all developers work for canonical, or are you globally distributed? [12:52] gma: all the developers on warty work for canonical, *and* are globally distributed :-) [12:52] I'm currently arguing with dpkg-buildpackage though ;) [12:52] gma: but now there are heaps of community members helping out [12:52] cool. [12:52] Ng: hrm, might want to check if they copied code from gnome-system-monitor [12:52] are canonical open to applications? [12:52] Ng: daniels fixed that [12:53] jdub: ooh, cool === jdahlin [~jdahlin@14.Red-80-39-193.pooles.rima-tde.net] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] [12:53] jdub: HH? [12:56] mdz: hoary page [12:56] ah [12:56] jdub: what about permissions elevation? [12:56] attempting to standardise on something [12:59] jdub: it looks similar, but not close enough to just yoink the code over :( [12:59] I'd say they have a common origin, but the g-s-t one is split up more so it can do ssh auth too === gma [~graham@capella.plus.com] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] === elmo_ [~james@host217-37-231-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:19] btopenworld? does that mean they use opensource? :) [01:20] probably not ;) [01:20] morning elmo_ [01:20] BT like things that are slow and bad and expensive ;) [01:21] argh [01:21] hey jdub [01:22] the gnome-system-tools configure script is telling me I need intltool 0.29 or later, but I just installed ubuntu's, which is 0.31 or something. any ideas? [01:22] if I can just make the thing compile I think my patch is done and trivial enough to be safe [01:24] aha, the source package was missing a file or I didn't run enough auto* stuff [01:25] <__daniel> Ng, what version of g-s-t did you try to ./configure ? [01:26] __daniel: 1.0.0-0ubuntu7 [01:27] I just apt-get source'd it, changed configure.in and a .c file and dpkg-buildpackage'd it [01:27] <__daniel> Ng, that's strange: "apt-get source gnome-system-tools; cd gnome-system*; ./configure" ran fine at my place [01:27] I did change a string in a glade file too, so that and/or the configure.in change probably needed auto* to run more things [01:28] I had to copy intltool-update.in from intltool's install directory to the "backends" directory in g-s-t [01:28] it could easily be my mistake though, it's probably a couple of years since I last did any of this ;) [01:29] <__daniel> i don't get why they don't have a proper autogen.sh [01:32] *shrug* :) === Ng sticks his patch in bugzilla, hopefully the first of many :) [01:34] g-s-t isn't going to work doing remote module without further patching though [01:35] well, if the target machine is ubuntu at least [01:35] since it ssh's as root :/ [01:37] <__daniel> Ng, ssh-as-root should never really be an option in a program [01:37] well it isn't a great idea to spawn a pty and use it to run su to get root, but they do ;) [01:42] ugh [01:42] ok [01:42] totally have to figure otu sound on this machine [01:46] lamont: live cd -16 seems to have solved the "see-through desktop" issue on the tosh [01:59] Oh, wow [01:59] lamont's been flamed on Advogato [02:01] it's a valid point. === lupus_ [~lupus@kn-ivl-2.kuleuven.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:06] so what are some of our "all the drivers work but there's no audio output" solutions? [02:06] parallel port is disabled in bios, and modules are not loaded [02:06] audio definitely worked with early ubuntu kernels [02:12] Is the hardware unmuted? [02:12] yes [02:13] done by ubuntu by default [02:15] On all channels? [02:16] Is there a hardware mixer? [02:17] no [02:20] If you try to play something, does the interrupt number in /proc/interrupts increase? [02:22] yes [02:22] Any messages in dmesg? [02:23] 130 -> 248 that time ;) [02:23] Sounds like it's either a mixer issue or you've managed to get two sound drivers loaded... [02:24] there's only the first device's stuff under /dev/snd [02:24] Hrm. [02:24] And lsmod only shows one snd-something driver loaded? [02:24] one module in /proc/asound/modules [02:25] no, there's heaps [02:25] but actual drivers could include snd_bt87x [02:26] removed, still the same [02:26] Uh. bt87x sounds a touch worrying. [02:26] (this machine has a dvb card in it) [02:26] Yeah [02:26] I've had problems with hotplug loading snd_bt87x before snd_emu10k1 and breaking sound [02:26] I'd worry that that might have presented a mixer device, and then the wrong stuff may have been loaded [02:26] what idem Ng [02:27] idem [02:27] I mean :) [02:27] i'll try loading snd_intel8x0 in /etc/modules [02:27] If you remove and then reinsert the correct module and then check the mixer, what does it look like? [02:27] Ok, that works too :) [02:27] lupus_: eh? ;) === jdub did not realise that distrowatch was seen as a big deal [02:28] ng I mean bttv also broke my sound because it is loaded before the soundcard [02:28] ah :) [02:28] I only had that with debian, for some reason ubuntu gets it right [02:29] I thought it was dependant on PCI ordering because it's hotplug doing it and it works in bus order [02:29] A friend of my was complaining the other day that he couldn't switch between his 2 soundcards for sound [02:29] a tool that could do this would also fix this issue :) [02:30] yeah [02:30] and should be possible on the fly without rebooting :) [02:33] hrmph === hornbeck [~hornbeck@adsl-69-153-250-222.dsl.okcyok.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:42] <__daniel> good night guys [02:44] are there plans to let hald use fstab-sync to add all the partitions in /etc/fstab (vfat,ntfs etc) ? === jamesh [~james@203-59-111-20.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:22] mjg59: lamont's been flamed on Advogato? [03:34] for a documentation-impaired changelog entry. [03:34] ... by Mathieu Roy. [03:35] ... and the middle-of-the-road "testing" release seems to offer the worst of both "stable" and "unstable." [03:35] (from lwn) [03:35] re: ubuntu and debian [03:42] that's a curious characterization. I wonder what they think the best parts of unstable are that testing doesn't have -- the RC-buggy packages that will never make it in? ;) [03:43] Indeed === Keybuk [~scott@host217-37-231-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:23] Both hotplug and discover shouldn't need run at the same time, right? [04:25] chrisa: indeed, they _must not_ both run [04:25] 'lo [04:25] mdz: So which is preferred for a laptop type system? [04:25] chrisa: hotplug is preferred in all cases, and is the Ubuntu default [04:29] morning tseng [04:30] Keybuk: so if we have out of control evolution processes guzzling RAM like nobody's business, what's the most useful tool i can ask a user to run to get some idea of where the problem lies? [04:36] mjg59: url for the flamage? [04:47] lamont: http://www.advogato.org/person/yeupou/diary.html?start=63 [04:49] jamesh: you mean people actually read changelogs.? === tseng does. [04:50] apt-listchanges... [04:50] apparently. [04:50] lamont: it's all mdz's fault for that fancy apt-listchanges hoowah. [04:50] but im hardly offended by someone refering to a bug #, as a gentoo dev we did that all the time [04:50] heh [04:51] that one was basically one of me going, "well, that one's definitely fixed by now." And there are probably others [04:51] make a keybinding that pipes xclip -out, containing the bug number to the end of a bugzilla search query, and send it to the brower [04:51] "5 minutes" becomes a fraction of a second [04:51] maybe he expected you to paste the bind release notes into the changelog. [04:52] better yet, I built it with the wrong email address.... [04:52] reading on, this guy is a complete tool [04:53] id ignore it [04:53] isn't yeupou mathie roy? [04:53] mathieu, even [04:53] yep. [04:57] interesting. only 2 peers on BT for i386, and I haven't served a single powerpc or amd64 torrent; contrast with pushing 1.5MB/s (bytes, not bits) for the preview [04:57] everybody who downloaded the preview died of shock when they found out how good it was? :P [05:02] all the upgraders ;) [05:08] my goal is to have people see the download progress meter and [05:08] kill themselves because they know they will never see [05:08] something more eleet than that [05:08] i think that's a pretty good model to be aiming for [05:08] the download progress meter is pretty 31337 [05:10] in bittorrent? [05:11] jdub: in apt [05:12] jdub: (culus being the apt maintainer or something, as well as an admin; in true debian style, he is, of course, almost entirely invisible) [05:12] oh, the experimental versions of apt? [05:12] dunno, don't think there's really been a new major apt for quite some time [05:12] jdub: apt's current download progress meter === jdub furrows brow, makes dubious glancing looks around the room. [05:14] jdub: dude, it's rad [05:15] it's ill [05:15] how about 'Ill Network Management' as a Hoary goal? [05:16] or 'Ill Link Beat Detection To Make Your Computer Start Up Like Twenty Minutes Quicker When You're Not Plugged In To A Network' [05:16] we'd start saying things like 'network beat box' and confusing the crap out of everyone [05:16] how about 'Ill 802.1X and WPA Integration' [05:16] network beat box! i love it! [05:16] can we please have that? [05:17] fight the power man, all those wireless security protocols are crackrock [05:17] yay for ssh [05:17] it's not about security, it's about authentication. :) [05:18] yeah, and i want to know who you are before i give you any cookies [05:19] jd not *those* cookies.

[05:23] tseng: two years? no way, it's getting lots of attention [05:24] daniels: iirc redhat does that with mii-tool [05:24] checking for cable. [05:25] daniels: that would be rad [05:26] daniels: (what about localhost?) [05:27] jdub: hm? [05:28] jdub: well, just not spend an hour trying to bring up DHCP and NTP [05:28] ctrl plus c, works for me [05:28] but doing it right would be cool. [05:28] yeah, but I usually restart after X crashes, which means I go off to get another glass of water/cup of tea [05:30] daniels: I imagine there's no binary driver bits for ATI rage mobility, true? [05:31] not at all [05:31] were you after a specific feature, or just wondering? [05:32] wondreing [05:33] can't we just let ifplugd do the whole thing? [05:33] trying to figure out how to maximize my radeon 7500 on the desktop as well. [05:33] or does it not notice when something is already plugged in? [05:33] guess I should read the howto. [05:33] morning guys [05:33] NM > ifplugd (and friends) [05:33] ah [05:34] hrm, is there a sane way to completely upgrade a sid system to ubuntu? [05:36] you can use pinning. [05:36] chrisa: apt doesn't consider it a true upgrade [05:36] but it's kinda dodgy. [05:36] back up the important stuff, wipe it out, and install from a CD? sid has newer versions than a lot of what's in Ubuntu. It'll be messy. [05:36] since some packages are newer (higher version) in sid than in warty, and vice versa [05:36] lamont: Right, I've noticed (due to various epochs and version numbers) [05:37] if you want to go that route, it might be safer to wait until Hoary opens for development, and update from the development repository. [05:37] (it'll be a more-recent snapshot of sid, and not frozen yet) [05:38] chrisa: sadly, it's completey unsupportable. woody->warty, no problem. sarge/sid from before 2004-06-28, should be no problem. sarge/sid from after that, install, or go the masochistic route first, and eventually probably do the install anyway [05:38] or wait for hoary to open [05:38] lamont: I realize that, I'm just experimenting on a sid box I'm not concerned with for fun really [05:39] heh, force downgrade to <2004-06-28 via snapshot.d.n, and upgrade? ;=) [05:39] I wouldn't do this on a serious system [05:39] ah, well, there is on sane way to cross grade from current sid to warty. [05:39] kylem: You're nuts! [05:39] thank you. === lamont ^5s kylem [05:40] hrm.. still have about 600MB of free space in my dvd tree. what to add.... [05:40] lamont: what is this supposed sane way?

[05:49] fabbione: waiting for artwork from jeff [05:49] artwork..

"Packet filtered"? [05:53] lamont: have you got a firmware for these aironet pcmcia cards you're fond of? the cisco website wants some username/password and doesn't accept the one it gave me [05:53] lamont: i don't have any firmware based card.. sorry [05:54] elmo_: already up?

[05:56] jdub: I expect so.. let me go look [05:56] lamont: or know if it grub itself is modified in any way? === vorlon was actually wondering why Warty didn't use ifplugd, and I guess breaking things would be a good reason. ;) [05:58] lamont: oh [05:58] lamont: hold on, it's using gfxboot fork [05:58] fabbione: not slept yet [05:58] lamont: cool thanks [05:58] jdub: yes - gfxboot-grub [05:59] elmo_: what version firmware do you have? [05:59] and 350, I assume? [05:59] Firmware Version: 5.02.19 [05:59] jdub: I have the complete gfxboot-grub tree that built the package, if that helps... [05:59] yeah, 360 [05:59] err 350 [05:59] 360?

[09:46] it was cool [09:46] good bunch turned up [09:47] nice [09:49] Hi thom [09:50] hi fabbione [09:51] hey pitti [09:51] fabbione: been at a release party as well? In some LUG? [09:51] Gosh, this thing gets longer and longer [09:52] pitti: no.. at home sandpapering walls and taking away 20 huge plastic bags of trash from the works [09:52] I mean the channel subject :-) [09:52] fabbione: oh, sounds like exactly the right thing to do after an exhausting release day :-) [09:52] pitti: of course [09:52] thom: since elmo is not yet here, do you happen to know how and whether the security upload queues work? [09:53] fraid not dude [09:53] I just saw that DSA 570-1 and 571-1 are unapplied in Warty [09:53] pitti: elmo was working on it [09:53] pitti: i have the packages read for these 2 already [09:53] pitti: so don't worry [09:53] fabbione: oh fine, I already wanted to prepare some :-) [09:54] pitti: mdz and I coordinated a while ago [09:54] before the sec team election [09:54] okay, fine [09:54] then I can throttle my nerves again [09:54] eheh [09:54] and let my head continue to ache :-/ [09:54] i need to go back to X.org [09:54] THIS SOURCE IS SO FUCKING INCONSISTENT! === pitti does not like to get up at 6 o'clock [09:54] fabbione: oh, speaking of headaches... :-) [09:55] sometimes I already thought that rewriting X from scratch might be faster :-) [09:55] writing some nice drivers to speed up the framebuffer and basically use this :-) [09:56] fabbione: anyway, I cross my fingers that you and daniel tame the beast [09:59] pitti: the problem is not the beast itself [09:59] it's splitting the beast [09:59] and forward-porting the patches we have [09:59] to get it to build [09:59] fabbione: I'm curious. Didn't the fd.o version already split components? [09:59] next step is manage to put everything into nice little tiny debian pacakges [09:59] or was that X.org? [09:59] pitti: no [09:59] that's only daniels [10:00] X.org is still monolitich [10:00] I thought there wer already efforts in this direction [10:00] and i am going to CRACK IT === pitti gives fabbione a huge hammer [10:00] 'C0Z I 4M 4 L33T H4CK35 [10:00] so "crack of the day" has a completely different meaning to you :-) [10:03] fabbione: would an X display problem that disappears when I boot with acpi=no likely be an X problem, or a hardware problem? [10:04] (this is on an athlon64) [10:05] jamesh: yes.. everything can be when it goes to amd64 and X [10:05] and it can be easily an X problem [10:05] Xfree86 didn't get much love on amd64 as X.org did [10:06] fabbione: okay. With ACPI enabled, it displays random garbage, except for the mouse cursor [10:06] with acpi=no, it works perfectly. [10:07] jamesh: ok. please open a bug with all the info [10:07] such as videocard and so on [10:07] okay. [10:07] exact models of the laptop, logfiles with both working and nonworking X [10:08] jamesh: make it a normal severity [10:08] there is really nothing i can do to make it working at the moment [10:08] we will have to see with X.org [10:08] is there an easy way to get the log file from a previous run of the X server? [10:09] jamesh: try checking /var/log [10:09] I had to restart the machine when X screwed up [10:09] afaik there is a backup of the log [10:09] well please send both [10:09] i need them to check [10:10] yes there is. [10:12] fabbione: interesting. the .old log file says it finds an AGP card, while the current one says it found a PCI card ...

[11:45] the bad news is that is much more than what I expected. [11:45] sabdfl: 1st nov. [11:45] ok [11:45] manly because they reorganized a good portion of the tree [11:46] do we have x.org in arch yet? [11:46] that makes some stuff more complex [11:46] sabdfl: nope [11:46] we need xfree86 and x.org in arch [11:46] for the patch forwarding [11:46] that's what is actually taking more time than expected [11:50] not debrix? :) [11:52] pitti: pong [11:52] Hi! [11:52] sjoerd: back from class?

[11:54] sjoerd: it has a function for listing all connected drives, but new USB devices don't appear there [11:54] sjoerd: this might get better if g-vfs is compiled with hal support, but until then g-v-m has to call mount on its own [11:55] pitti: we'll see [11:55] pitti: donno if gvfs with the new hal patches shows all volumes or only the ones in fstab [11:56] sjoerd: BTW, I'm currently ubuntu-fying your hal package; you still conflict to g-v-m << 0.9.10, but it should be << 1.0.2 [11:56] sjoerd: will you change that for Debian [11:56] sjoerd: the older g-v-m expected a different storage semantics, which don't work with the newer hal [11:56] pitti: for debian 0.9.10 is good enough.. that's why it's still that way [11:56] sjoerd: oh, okay [11:57] pitti: debian's 0.9.10 was a cvs, that's why it worked [11:57] sjoerd: you cheated :-) [11:57] sjoerd: no, just kidding [11:58] pitti: i'll probably do << 1.0.2 for the new packages then.. people should be using that anyway === __daniel [~daniel@td9091b81.pool.terralink.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:03] <__daniel> hai === elmo_ [~james@host217-37-231-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === seb128_ [~seb128@ANancy-151-1-15-209.w83-194.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel === carlos [~carlos@69.Red-80-33-181.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === kOoLiNuS [~ciclope@137.204.74.83] has joined #ubuntu-devel === sivang [~sg@80.179.93.130.forward.012.net.il] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:59] hi to everyone!

[01:00] you can do everything, kOoLiNuS :-) [01:00] EMISSINGFULLVERB [01:01] if you have a question please just ask it [01:02] thom: btw, you hacked on hal a bit, right? [01:02] a bit [01:02] yes [01:02] thom: does "libselinux-dev build dependency" ring any bell? [01:02] i've tried the very first relase of Warty [01:02] thom: I don't know what it was good for and hal builds fine without [01:02] and i was disappointed by the "crippled" Gnome-System-Tools [01:02] thom: the Debian package does not have it either [01:02] pitti: the reason for the build-dep was to work around a bug in the selinux packages at the time, iirc [01:02] kOoLiNuS: what's missing? [01:03] kOoLiNuS: That's an upstream decision [01:03] The tools that aren't supplied are no longer supported [01:03] thom: what has hal to do with these packages? [01:03] pitti: (they shipped the .so in the main package, so configure would pick it up and enable selinux support, which would then blow up cos of the lack of headers) [01:04] I'm still in the devel ml, so I was wondering if I can "force" the installation of the "complete" package from the testing repos [01:04] thom: darn [01:04] kOoLiNuS: If you download the source, you can (I /think/) change the configure options in debian/rules and the rebuild the package [01:04] That's assuming that you can still force the build of the unsupported tools - I'm not sure about that [01:05] mjg59: too far difficoult for me :-/ [01:05] thom: my hald is not linked against libselinux, so I guess I can safely drop the dependency [01:07] pitti: yeah [01:07] elmo_: are you already awake? [01:08] daniels: here? [01:08] kOoLiNuS: apt-get source gnome-system-tools && apt-get build-dep gnome-system-tools && cd gnome-system-tools-1.0.0, add --enable-boot --enable-services --enable-disks in configure options debian/rules and then dpkg-buildpackage to build the package ... === __daniel [~daniel@td9091b81.pool.terralink.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:09] seb128: ok, note taken :-D thanks [01:09] kOoLiNuS: but these modules are not supported and bugged so probably not a good idea [01:09] on SID the've worked [01:10] they have been removed [01:10] there is a reason :) [01:10] what are you trying to do ?

[01:37] I still need to do a bit more testing [01:38] jamesh: okay, nice. Will you upload this to experimental/sid as well? [01:39] pitti: I'm planning on getting it merged into gnome-applets (since it is meant to replace one of the existing applets). I haven't considered packaging it separately [01:39] jamesh: oh right, even better [01:50] daniels: you around? === sivang [~sg@80.179.93.130.forward.012.net.il] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:01] so, finally we are not going to have our final release in the main page of slashdot? [02:04] jdub? [02:07] carlos: no [02:08] :-( [02:08] *shrug*, they have given us like 4 stories in the last month [02:09] carlos: no, they said the main page had had enough ubuntu coverage [02:09] :-? [02:09] so a final release cannot be there but a Xandros betatesting process can [02:09] funny [02:14] Why isn't trashapplet in gnome-applets? [02:17] chrisa: we picked it up before it had yet gone mainstream [02:17] but expect it to become part of the main gnome release [02:17] ah [02:18] it's already in gnome-applets cvs head [02:21] guys is very familiar with libraries that can help me 2 minutes? [02:25] Kamion: btw. lolo synced it :) [02:25] amu: cool [02:26] <__daniel> just wrote a mail to heise.de to make them cover the ubuntu release :-) [02:26] http://source.rfc822.org/pub/mirror/releases.ubuntu.com/warty/ [02:28] well.. i meant who is very familiar... [02:28] fabbione: you should just ask ... [02:28] usually the "who is very .. with ..." kind of questions don't get a lot of replies [02:30] seb128: well i need to understand how to split a lib in general [02:31] `-- lib [02:31] |-- libFS.a [02:31] |-- libFS.so -> libFS.so.6.0 [02:31] |-- libFS.so.6 -> libFS.so.6.0 [02:31] `-- libFS.so.6.0 [02:31] libFS.a -> libfs-dev [02:31] libFS.so.6.0 -> libfs6 ? [02:31] and the other 2? [02:31] yes; libFS.so -> libfs-dev, libFS.so.6 -> libfs6 [02:32] ok thanks! [02:32] that makes it simple [02:32] :-) [02:32] i already have enough headackes splitting X to dig into each single piece === fabbione does really appreciate [02:34] .a / .la / .so -> -dev [02:34] .so.x and .so.x.y.z -> lib [02:35] thanks seb :-) [02:36] you're welcome :) [02:40] now the big question is.. which directory should i start polluting if i kill /usr/include/X11 and /usr/X11R6 ? [02:41] fabbione: you kill /usr/X11R6? === pitti praises fabbione [02:42] fabbione: why not just put the stuff in /usr/lib/X11 and the executables in /usr/bin? [02:42] fabbione: IMHO /usr/bin can't be made worse, pollute-wise [02:42] I thought that was roughly the plan [02:43] pitti: i need somewhere where to store the includes [02:43] and nothing is allowed to stick /X11 [02:43] fabbione: but why do you want to kill /usr/include/X11? [02:43] fabbione: it seems fairly "canonical" to me :-) [02:43] pitti: it's a synlink to ../X11R6/inlucde [02:43] pitti: see also policy [02:44] you can't kill /usr/include/X11 as such; people do #include [02:44] fabbione: right, I mean why not put the includes in /usr/include/X11 directly? === lamont takes kids to school. bbiab [02:44] Kamion: i know that [02:44] but you're going to run into dpkg hell trying to replace a directory with a symlink [02:44] Kamion: i need an alternate location [02:44] er, vice versa [02:44] Kamion: it is already a symnlink [02:44] 13:44 < Kamion> er, vice versa [02:44] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s11.8.7 [02:45] Packages must not provide or install files into the directories /usr/bin/X11/, /usr/include/X11/ or /usr/lib/X11/. [02:45] yes, I know [02:45] I was involved in that policy discussion :P [02:45] and i don't want to go against policy [02:45] but neither i can pollute * [02:46] that bit of policy was taken in order to smooth the path for a future move of XFree86 to /usr [02:46] s/taken/created/ [02:46] Kamion: correct [02:46] I do not think that you should regard it as constraining X.org packages [02:46] but now that i am moving X to /usr [02:46] Xfree86 or X.org.. still the same stuff [02:46] it's an Xserver [02:46] the other alternative is /usr/X.org and keep the symlinks, would be simpler, but you don't get to lose the old hack [02:47] or X Windows System [02:47] I *know* :) [02:47] ok, "I do not think that you should regard it as constraining XFree86 or X.org packages" [02:47] ahh sorry [02:47] i misread [02:47] but neither i want to start another mess creating /usr/x.org [02:48] makes no sence to me [02:48] at that point i could just keep /usr/X11R6 [02:48] without messing around === fabbione needs to see 2 minutes of sunshine in the hope that God will kiss his forehead [02:57] i will have to discuss it with Branden [02:57] i don't see a clean solution to this === Ubuntu-Linux [~gmail@gnu-debian.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:09] i reported another bug [03:09] https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2601 [03:09] is the person who email addy cjwatson@canonical.com here? [03:09] yes [03:09] who is it? [03:10] me === Ubuntu-Linux want to poke that person === Ubuntu-Linux pokes Kamion [03:10] Ubuntu-Linux: poking on bugs works, bugzilla sends out an email with changes [03:10] if you're objecting to the severity change, I downgraded it as a routine bug management issue because problems on a single piece of hardware don't justify the 'blocker' severity. [03:10] Kamion: tree.. had to help me when you where the one in charges shess [03:11] I can't help everybody individually. [03:11] there's this small matter of "time" [03:11] i know [03:11] I also don't know what your problem is, and I was put off helping you by statements like "Ubuntu messed with d-i". [03:12] but you where there at the same time that i ask and where active [03:12] they did [03:12] it now says ubuntu when you boot up [03:12] that even called messing [03:13] Ubuntu-Linux: crap, Ubuntu writes 'ubuntu' instead of 'debian' when it boots up? [03:14] i change the aphla d-i i used to say my name [03:14] i even messed with d-i [03:14] 0_0 [03:14] who hasnt? [03:15] people with a job and/or hobby.

[03:23] <__daniel> Ubuntu-Linux, TRY to be patient - you won't achieve anything by pestering people [03:23] or should i just d/l d-i and upgrade to ubuntu? [03:23] __daniel: i know [03:23] i am waiting [03:23] i just want to know if i should goto sleep tonight and forget about it till sunday [03:23] Ubuntu-Linux: no, you are pestering. Waiting is without the 'how long till...?' part [03:24] Yes, do that [03:24] If you really cared, you'd just install woody and upgrade [03:27] i cant install woody [03:27] i need to install from 2.4.26 or later [03:27] Then go to sleep [03:27] because of drivers [03:28] so should i d/l d-i net install? [03:28] Ubuntu-Linux: why you can't download the ISO? [03:28] and add the ubuntu sources and upgrade? [03:28] <__daniel> Ubuntu-Linux, try to [03:28] Do what you want to do, staying here and pestering Kamion will get you nowhere [03:28] Ubuntu-Linux: please do not upgrade the severity of that bug report again. [03:28] which one pitti [03:28] Ubuntu-Linux: recently I installed a CD-ROM less laptop with the netboot images, that went fine [03:28] Kamion: i didnt [03:29] Ubuntu-Linux: which one? the release ones?

[03:31] pitti: my hdd died and it was the only cd i had i d/l and burned ubuntu [03:32] Ubuntu-Linux: so you _have_ an Ubuntu CD? [03:32] Kamion: yea but on my side its still blocker and p5 [03:32] yes [03:32] Ubuntu-Linux: an older one perhaps?

[03:38] <__daniel> Kamion, i admire your patience :-) [03:38] I don't have much of it left [03:38] <__daniel> Kamion, i think you did quite well === Sledge applauds Kamion for restraint === AndyFitz [~andy@220.245.97.227] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:09] i think we will live with X11R6 until there is a better solution [04:10] killing it now isn't an option without polluting * [04:10] better solution than X11R6 or better solution than what you thought up till now? [04:10] azeem: read above :-) [04:11] by policy we can't install into */X11 [04:11] oh, missed that, sorry [04:13] azeem: if you have better ideas, please say so [04:13] then change policy :) [04:13] it's not like i am closed mind [04:13] azeem: that will take too long :-))) [04:13] well, I don't know about the dpkg limitation for using /usr/include/X11 directly, but that would be the cleanest IMHO [04:14] and few flames all over [04:14] /usr/bin for binaries and perhaps a subdir for /usr/lib, whatever the name [04:14] azeem: there are no limitations in using X11 in general [04:14] but if i start creating subdirs around.. [04:14] well, the part about replacing a symlink [04:14] i can just live with X11R6 [04:15] see.. either we integrate everything inside the FHS (considering X11R6 not fHS compliant) [04:15] or otherwise it's not worth the mess to just rename 2 directories/symlinks [04:15] having subdirs in /usr/{include,lib} is common practise for libraries [04:15] (considering the amount of packages that use then) [04:15] having subdire in /usr is not [04:16] true.. i don't disagree on this [04:16] perhaps you could swap it around and live compatiblity symlinks in /usr/X11R6 (pointing to /usr/{include,lib}/X11 for a while? [04:17] and then kill them off eventually [04:17] (like /usr/doc, hahaha) [04:17] azeem: eventually = undetermined amount of time. [04:17] no i am not that nice with other maintainers :-P [04:17] one release [04:18] which means, half a year for ubuntu and an undetermined amount of time for Debian [04:18] azeem: another release = 6 months here and something between 4 to 10 years in debian [04:18] exactly :P === azeem ^5s fabbione === AndyFitz [~andy@220.245.97.227] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [04:18] no i think i will leave X11R6 for now [04:18] the changes are too deep to be done by a single/two persons [04:18] we need a team working on it. [04:19] (without considering the amount of changes that the code requires) [04:19] what's wrong with swapping the symlinks around? Is there a technical problem with that? [04:19] this definetly has to be done upstream [04:19] at least, that would set a signal that X11R6 is deprecated [04:19] azeem: probably swapping them no. === __daniel [~daniel@td9091b81.pool.terralink.de] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Verlassend"] [04:19] swapping the symlinks around requires some very hairy preinst code and probably has undetermined compatibility implications ... [04:19] but i wonder when X12R1 will be out... [04:20] and a big API change will take place [04:20] it's going to be the hell storing includes all in /usr/include/X11 [04:20] we need to be able to differenciate them [04:20] at least... [04:21] well, X12R1 will have /usr/include/X12, no? [04:22] X11 and X12 will *have* to be co-installable [04:22] at least the libraries and preferably development packages [04:22] yeah [04:23] if you want the static libs to be parallel installable, but them in a subdir of /lib [04:23] eh, /usr/lib [04:23] X12 is on the cards? [04:23] how do the other distributions handle this? Most of them have switched to x.org by now, havent' they? [04:23] uh true :) [04:24] azeem: yes. but i doubt they have remove X11R6 [04:25] we're at X11R8 or so right now? [04:25] 6.8.1 [04:25] eh, aren't we at X11R8 or so right now? [04:25] ah [04:25] X11R6 [04:25] sorry [04:25] so, X12 on the radar, or X11R7? [04:25] nothing on the radar atm [04:25] i am just pondering for the future [04:26] what compatibility promises have the X guys taken? [04:26] will they break binary compatibility with X11R7? [04:26] they shouldn't... [04:26] afaik [04:26] godd [04:26] eh, good [04:27] i can't remember if RX was for the binary compatibility and X11 the version of the protocol [04:27] so new version of the protocol breaks world [04:27] and binary compatibility kinda [04:30] when was the last time X broke compatibility? [04:30] er, ABI. [04:31] can't remember [04:31] probably 3.3 -> 4.0 [04:31] fabbione: did you have much to do with X before joining the XSF? [04:32] fabbione: what about you ask keithp for his opinion? Isn't he a DD now? [04:32] bob2: no [04:32] anyway removing /usr/include/X11 is not an option [04:32] hah, wow, you got sucked in quick :-) [04:32] some x packages build-deps on packages that pulls in other x packages [04:33] including stuff in /usr/include/X11 [04:33] azeem: i am still thinking... and more i think, more i am convinced that upstream is the first one that should do it [04:33] I don't see a need to remove /include/X11. Would you just dump everything in /include? [04:34] azeem: if i dump everything in /usr/include it will be a mess [04:34] azeem: you'd have to change every X program [04:34] i still need a X11 symlink [04:35] getting rid of /usr/include/X11/ would be broken [04:35] #include 0wns you [04:35] and switching it from a symlink to a dir will make X or X.org unbuildable [04:35] wow [04:36] fabbione: right, so what exactly is wrong with /usr/include/X11? Just because it's a symlink? [04:36] i guess we will live with X11R6 :-) [04:36] pitti: no [04:36] fabbione: okay, you just answered. [04:37] fabbione: at least mandrake still uses X11R6, I just asked [04:37] probably the others as well. So I guess it's the right way for now [04:39] yeps === fabbione reverts the changes [04:41] fabbione: anyway, why would switching /usr/include/X11 from a symlink to a dir make X or X.org unbuildable? [04:41] azeem: because almost all the documentation requires groff [04:41] and groff pulls in several X stuff [04:42] including things in /usr/X11R6/include [04:42] oh, circular Build-Depends? [04:42] yeps [04:42] suck [04:42] if we fuck up one upload nobody will build anything for a long while [04:43] uh, the groff source package has documentation of how to avoid the X build-dependency [04:43] but yes, groff is just one example of the zillion programs that want /usr/include/X11/ [04:44] Kamion: than i will need a xgroff to build x [04:44] ? [04:44] groff simply depends on these packages [04:44] no you don't, you build groff with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=groff-no-x11, then you build X, then you build groff properly [04:44] Kamion: so you need a temporary groff around [04:45] yes, welcome to bootstrapping [04:45] it's only gxditview that needs X11 [04:46] Kamion: it would be easier for me to create a anti-x-groff and upload it :-) [04:47] and die shortly afterwards :) [04:47] tetex is no different [04:48] you need it for some of the docs too AIUI, but it build-deps on X [04:48] yeah i also build-dep on tetex [04:48] and X build-deps on it [04:48] well, I believe this circular Build-Dep is not a very good reason to keep X11R6 alive, in case we agree it should in principle die [04:48] cool, isn't it? [04:48] groff doesn't pull stuff in from /usr/X11R6/include/ directly though, it uses the symlink [04:48] fabbione: okay, the security stuff is in theory done - if you don't mind, I'd like to wait for mdz to ack it before you start using it [04:49] elmo_: sure i don't mind [04:49] wow. that installation went well. good work guys. [04:49] elmo_: i am not sure for how long i can stay around [04:49] elmo_: in the worst case we will do tomorrow [04:50] fabbione: well, can you put your upload somewhere so matt could upload, it and try the new mechanism out? [04:50] elmo_: otherwise i can just handover the packages to pitti since he will take care of security [04:50] elmo_: sure [04:53] azeem: anyway i have a very limited amount of time [04:53] azeem: i need a decision asap [04:53] and i think that for the next 6 months we can live with X11R6 [04:53] we had it around for ages [04:53] 6 months more or 6 months less won't kill anybody [04:54] and etch will not be released by that [04:54] fabbione: well, I'd talk to keithp and the rest of the x.org maintainers whether they ponder changing that general X11R6 prefix [04:56] azeem: i know daniels did all these changes in his tree [04:56] azeem: but the problem is i dunno how robusts they are [04:56] and he only built xc/lib/ [04:56] not xc/* [04:56] maybe it really is the best to wait for the modular X before killing X11R6 [04:57] yeah [04:57] i agree === azeem_ [~mbanck@socks-out.lrz-muenchen.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:01] elmo_: what kind of ack do you need?

[08:00] so you need dhcp server [08:00] right [08:00] ok [08:01] i have a server already setup, i'll give you access to it [08:01] so if you just need that and the ia64 box, i need a ssh2 public key, and a login [08:02] the other things we need to put together for d-i are: linux-kernel-di-ia64-2.6 package based on the Ubuntu kernel, ports of all the bootloader installer and partitioner component packages from Debian, and probably additions of ia64 to a few lists [08:02] login name cjwatson, where can I mail the key?

[08:35] I'm restarting the liveCD on a box right now [08:35] hornbeck : yes, if you could I'd appriciate it. [08:35] mdz: in fact a french user pinged me about this. According to him it was working fine with the version is download some days ago [08:36] sivang: just resend to me and I will see what I can do [08:36] hornbeck : ok, do you want diffs also, or do you want to wait for 2.8.1 docs altogether maybe? [08:36] sivang: just send me your diffs [08:36] or the whole folder [08:37] does not matter [08:37] ok [08:37] hornbeck: sivang what do you guys think about the kind of layout for wiki-pages? [08:37] plovs: are you talking about a standard? [08:38] the current layout is not good enough? [08:38] plovs,sivang: I think we need to standardize all the pages, to use same formats [08:39] pages look all a little different and we just began, it is now or never [08:39] plovs : gemme some examples [08:39] when we have 2000+ pages it might be a little late [08:39] plovs: they all need to look the same [08:39] sivang: just a sec === vorlon_ is now known as vorlon [08:40] seb128: confirmed, I get English if I boot with the French option [08:40] err [08:40] never mind [08:40] seb128: it works [08:40] oh ? [08:40] it's just that the computer menu is not localised [08:40] plovs: it will be impossable to make them identical, but we can at least make the standards the same [08:40] nor is "applications" or "computer" [08:40] but the menu items under applications are localised [08:40] mdz: yes, these are .desktop files [08:40] not po files [08:40] nothing to do with the locales [08:40] ah [08:40] and evolution is not localised [08:40] yes [08:41] and it has given me a French keyboard layout it seems :-) === carlos [~carlos@69.Red-80-33-181.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:41] sivang: compare http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/BasicCommands with http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/BeagleInstallHowto [08:41] seb128: it is the same bug [08:41] different styles [08:41] not big differences but stil... [08:41] plovs: both are my pages :) [08:42] seb128: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is -rw------- [08:42] plovs: I have not changed the basiccommands page yet [08:42] seb128: please file it in bugzilla [08:42] hornbeck: :) i know [08:42] hornbeck: i like the beaglepage [08:42] plovs: I have been working on the beaglepage nonstop because new stuff keeps happening [08:42] mdz: ok, thanks [08:43] plovs: I need to remake the whole BasicCommands page [08:43] it rocks, i want to do it all the time, but have no time [08:43] plovs: I know how that is [08:44] sivang: what if we make the beaglepage layout the basic layout? [08:44] plovs : I like it better, yes. [08:44] plovs: I think that would work [08:44] we can make an empty howto page called DocumentationHowto and point to it [08:44] well, have a look at /HowDoc [08:45] hornbeck : If I recall right your comments about the laytout, you want everything that needs be typed to be in a "code" box right? [08:45] sivang: yes [08:46] sivang: it is easier to copy and paste from there [08:46] sivang, plovs: it makes it easier to copy and paste sections [08:46] and it looks nice :) [08:46] :) [08:46] sivang: but whatever we do it looks best if it is the same [08:47] ok, I suggest we streamline it as so. I will modify HowDoc accordingly [08:47] plovs, sivang: is someone going to note all this stuff? [08:48] hornbeck : I am , see the line before :) [08:48] sivang: I read right as I was hitting enter [08:48] sivang: nice, will you make DocumentationHowto? [08:49] or should I do it? [08:49] HowDoc is basicly a DocumentationHowto [08:49] http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/HowDoc [08:49] maybe needs a name change? [08:49] since we are mainly going with Howto at the end of howto's [08:51] what we can do is making DocumentationHowto and use [[IncludePage()] ] to put it inside HowDoc [08:51] plovs: good idea [08:51] plovs: is there a good wiki howto out there/ [08:51] ? [08:51] I am learning wiki markup as we go [08:52] hornbeck: brb [08:52] ok [08:52] hornbeck: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/HelpIndex [08:52] hornbeck: especially HelpOnMacros [08:53] hornbeck: and HelpOnMacros [08:53] plovs: thanks [08:54] hornbeck: the include is a little broken you can only include whole pages [08:54] hornbeck: moin 1.3 will/should solve that [08:54] ok [08:54] should we just rename that page? [08:54] than just add new stuff to it [08:55] have a '''wiki howto''' '''docbook howto''' all on the same page? [08:55] a stop shop [08:55] look at CategoryCategory , you can just make an automatic list [08:56] you lost me [08:57] link [08:58] if you look at the page-source you'll see it's just two lines [08:58] so you can make a HowtoPage with an automatic links to all howto's [08:58] something like that [08:58] ahh [08:58] ok [08:59] but the main question is, should we just be HowDoc into DocumentationHowto [08:59] sivang? [08:59] I think it makes more since [08:59] yes, I think of HowDoc to be both for offline stuff we do, and wiki content guidline. have 2 sections on that. [09:00] sivang: a rename though? [09:00] oh, you want it to have HowTo at the end [09:00] yes [09:00] :) [09:00] hornbeck: a howto is usually short and to the point (kernel howto is too long) [09:00] for the catrgorization to work. === x4m [~max@67-110.241.81.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:00] hornbeck: a document is long and detailed [09:00] hornbeck: i *think* [09:00] plovs: DocDoc than? [09:00] :) [09:01] plovs: kernel howto is long no matter what [09:01] what about ending doc-stuff in Doc or Document? [09:01] hornbeck: there are three kernel-pages already, that needs cleaning up [09:01] DocumentationDoc? [09:01] plovs: I noticed today [09:02] WritingGuidelinesDoc ? [09:02] plovs: the one I made was made real nice [09:02] plovs: that works [09:02] shoudl the kernelhowto be made KernelInstallDoc? [09:04] yes that's better i think [09:04] make it so [09:04] btw, I think the wiki team falls nicely under the "documentation sounder team" accoridng to the outlined tasks it carries [09:04] sivang: what do you think Howto pages and Doc pages? [09:05] plovs : well, actually I think that big docs should be shorty incorporated into PLone CMS, and the wiki should be acting more of a bleeding edge corner and docdevel works [09:06] sivang: we are not at that area yet, but what do you think for right now [09:07] hornbeck : yes it's good, then we should have 2 indexes for Guides / Howtos. Like on http://www.debian.org/doc/ [09:08] sivang: I agree [09:10] sivang: i agree, but in wiki, they can be worked on. [09:11] what about something like: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/AlexanderPoslavsky_2fPlayGround [09:11] and then one for the docs [09:11] feel free to mess up that page [09:12] hornbeck: how good are you at python? [09:12] plovs: decent [09:12] I do alot of it for my jobs [09:13] plovs: why you ask? [09:13] hornbeck: i played around with a moin2docbook.py thingie but i'm just starting with python [09:13] plovs: did you write it? [09:14] hornbeck: i wrote open file, close file check parameters ... so no, not yet [09:14] hornbeck: i am trying to understand classes [09:14] plovs: if that is something you would like to work on together, send me what you have and we can work on it [09:15] brb have to order books for my classes [09:17] sivang: yes, like the debian guys [09:18] plovs : actually the python classes are the nicest and most straightforward I've seen compared to Java, C++ etc [09:19] sivang: that says something about my programming :( [09:19] plovs : no, you might no thave any other introduction to OOP langs, so that might explain it :) [09:20] sivang: it is the first time, and i need more time to read it [09:20] sivang: how difficult is it to make yelp docs? [09:20] sivang : but you'll catch on fast, if you programmed before - take "Dive into python" by Mark Pilgream , very good [09:21] plovs : actually, you just learn the DTD and that's it. You're writing XML [09:21] sivang: i have it installed :) [09:21] ok, I am back [09:21] sivang: if we could write this converter then we could just convert wiki pages (they are really basic) to XML [09:21] plovs : you can do some work on the manual, it teaches you about the dtd as you see al those tags for representing menu choises, items. [09:22] sivang: *the* manual? [09:22] plovs : Yes, I have talked with Enrico about that - We might have the Plone CMS team to do this for us maybe [09:22] :) [09:22] sivang: duh, what manual? [09:23] plovs: we can work on it, if someone else does it, it will at least give you some experiance with python [09:23] plovs : yes, the gnome official needs some adjustments and modification to nicely follow Ubuntu's desktop looks and actions. [09:23] plovs: also Docbook is easy [09:23] just follow what is already there, for most manuals [09:23] sivang: i am trying to concentrate on two things, my wife is explaining diets and recipes to me from the second computer === justdave [~dave@24.247.63.44.gha.mi.chartermi.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:24] plovs: I understand that :) [09:25] hornbeck: how would you go about converting a file from moin to docbook? i have a look for line in file with lot of re.match [09:25] I have wife and two kids, who talk to me while I do all this [09:25] plovs: I would have to start hacking on it honestly, I am not a good enough programmer to explain it off the top of my head [09:26] I am more of a hit or miss guy, learn as I go [09:27] hornbeck: well, i'll write some more and thn send it, it would be nice to get a converter [09:27] plovs: cool [09:27] plovs: if you want to learn docbook work on the gnome-guide with sivang [09:27] its a good starting place [09:28] sivang: can yelp use non-local =internet files? [09:28] yelp just reads DTD as far as I know [09:28] plovs : lemme ask it's developer for a sec :) [09:29] sivang: do you hve some simple task? [09:30] plovs : no it can't, and won't. [09:30] sivang: less is more, i should have guessed, this is not kde [09:30] sivang: are you in #docs? === hornbeck [~hornbeck@adsl-69-153-250-222.dsl.okcyok.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:34] hornbeck : yes [09:34] sivang: i could take HowDoc from common approach, and put it in DocHowto, and the [09:34] n link it back [09:34] plovs : ok [09:39] hornbeck: sivang what page do we use for suggestions to the documentation team? [09:40] hmm [09:40] DocSuggestions [09:40] hows that sound? [09:42] does anyone here have a copy of vmware? [09:42] plovs: sivang: are we renameing HowDoc and the KernelHowto? [09:42] I have 4.5 for linux somewhere mdz [09:42] hornbeck: if it is the eval version, is it possible for me to get a copy? [09:43] I'm trying to track down this bug: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2492 [09:43] mdz: you can download the eval version [09:43] not without registering on their website, getting an evaluation key, etc. [09:44] I just want to look at some of the files [09:44] and see if it is doing what I suspect it may be [09:44] I don't have a eval version [09:44] I can get the eval version for you if you want [09:44] can you look and see if it changes the samba startup links? [09:45] I will have to install, I have it on disk right now [09:45] I got it along time ago, when I still used windows some === Mitario [~michiel@sikkes.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:46] hornbeck : what's the software ? [09:47] vmware [09:50] mdz : I am running samba on this machine, should I try and upgrade and test it? [09:50] mdz: I can send to you with reg code if you would like [09:50] I just started download and got registered [09:50] elmo_, mdz: can I put the security packages somewhere, so that either of you can upload them? I'm going to bed soon [09:54] I have upgraded samba while it was still running, wasn't able to reproduce. [09:55] mdz: I now have the eval copy with reg code. Do you want me to send to you? [09:55] I am not running samba so I would not be able to test [09:57] plovs: you still around? [10:00] sivang? [10:01] hornbeck : yes [10:01] ok, no one was answering so I was wondering if I was still connected [10:01] :) [10:02] well I am off to work [10:02] night [10:03] night hornbeck === mxpxpod [~bryan@mxpxpod.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:06] chrisa: ping === ploum [~ploum@21-24.CampusNet.ucl.ac.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:09] I just want to thanks all developpers and Mark for the wonderful Warty release. Good job guys, it's really great ! [10:12] hornbeck: sorry, yes [10:13] plovs: I wanted to say keep up the good work :) [10:13] hornbeck: goodnight :) ! [10:13] night [10:13] sivang: good night! === maskie [~maskie@196-30-111-58.uudial.uunet.co.za] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] [10:13] plovs : night [10:15] ploum: thanks :-) [10:16] mdz: you want the vmware? [10:16] hornbeck: sure, thanks [10:16] sivang: if you have vmware installed, yes, that would be a good test [10:17] mdz : installing in the background [10:18] hornbeck: dcc won't work; I'm behind a firewall here [10:18] how can I get it to you? [10:18] hornbeck: I just finished drafting a short howto on how to use the community support resources, in the wiki [10:19] HowToGetHelp [10:19] hornbeck: I'd be interested in your feedback [10:19] ok [10:19] mdz : I'll give it a look also :) [10:19] mdz: you get my pm? [10:21] mdz: nice use of eric raymond site [10:22] mdz: adding a link to the doc howto at the bottom would help when saying "or how about a howto article" and have the link to the dochowto [10:23] hornbeck: by all means [10:24] mdz: added [10:24] thanks [10:24] well all, I really have to go now [10:24] goodnight [10:25] I've tried the vmware eval download about 20 times and it's no good [10:25] I'll keep fiddling :-) [10:25] night [10:25] hmmm [10:25] keep working at it :) === hornbeck is now known as hornbeck|away [10:25] any idea why there is no php4-common in Ubuntu like there is in Debian Sid? some universe packages depend on it... any developer I can talk to about the reasons for that or any workaround? [10:25] hornbeck|away: great stuff [10:26] mdz : you tried the tarball? [10:26] sivang: no, I'm trying to download it [10:27] I was hoping to find someone who already had a copy and could poke around and see if it does anything nasty to /etc/rc?.d [10:27] mdz : I suppose it does. It always added stuff to bootup scripts when I Used it on sarge,sid and RH [10:27] sivang: ls -l /etc/rc?.d/K09samba [10:28] if that file exists, that's a good clue [10:28] mdz : after I install it :) I will [10:28] ah === lamont_r [lamont@dialup-4.225.207.204.Dial1.Denver1.Level3.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:30] seb128 around? [10:31] mdz : "read the FAQ" is broken on Plone, I opened a bug on it on bugzilla but till isn't corrected [10:31] mdz : the link you pointed from the wikie [10:31] lamont_r: yes [10:32] how does /usr/lib/locale/fr get populated? [10:32] sivang: fixed the link, thanks [10:32] and btw, the french keyboard is just plain screwed up. [10:32] mdz : no prob. this is also referenced from _within_ the plone somewhere. [10:32] I mean layout-wise, that is [10:33] lamont_r: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive you mean ? [10:33] the errors from strace indicate that it's tryting to open /usr/lib/locale/fr/LC_* [10:34] lamont_r: have you read your mails (#2292) ? [10:34] oups [10:35] 2614 I mean [10:35] not yet [10:35] the problem is /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive being 600 [10:35] (thanks mdz for finding this) [10:36] chmod 644 it and that works fine [10:36] on the liveCD? [10:37] yes === lamont_r adds a 'umask 0' to the build process, and pushes things to the top of the hill === mdz gapes [10:37] lamont_r: that file is created dynamically during boot [10:37] must be [10:37] ah, ok. [10:38] not that umask 0 would be a good idea _anyway_...:-) [10:38] means I'll have to go find that. [10:38] it is, depending of the locale selected in the menu [10:38] just knew that i have 022 , which still wouldn't explain it... [10:38] lamont_r: problem ( warning ) with booting, umount: /.dev not found ; rmdir: invalid option --f; can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases: Read-only file system; alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found ... [10:38] is anything getting 077 as a umask? [10:38] amu: we're ignoring the leases file issue [10:38] but rmdir -f could use some staring at [10:38] that file wouldn't be there after a reboot anyway :-) [10:39] lamont_r: i took screenshots [10:39] right - that's because we switched from pump to dhclient3... [10:39] amu: cool === lamont_r is sitting at the mechanics and using dialup. [10:39] something must be calling localedef or locale-gen somewhere in the boot process [10:39] hence testing is gonna be a bitch [10:39] based on the lang= boot parameter [10:39] mdz: yes. [10:40] grubsplash you should wait min. 60sec. instead of 5 [10:40] right before it starts pcmcia [10:40] amu: hell no [10:40] use case is enduser, not technical people. [10:40] end user doesn't want the 1 min wasted time [10:40] lamont_r: process bar is ok now ;) [10:40] this was discussed wrt the installed box quite a whileback [10:40] amu: jdub fixed that last night [10:41] mdz: do we care that gnome takes forever to come up under some situation involving no link? [10:41] link beat, that is. [10:41] lamont_r: ok, we should note that in a part of the faq bootoptions *ducks* [10:41] lamont_r: depends on how long forever is [10:41] < 5 minutes [10:41] just long enough to go WTF and reboot. [10:42] uploading screenshot [10:42] lamont_r: do you realize that sources.list on the CD contains people.ubuntu.com/~lamont entries? === lamont_r notices that elmo used a large club in locking down warty [10:42] mdz: yes [10:42] but that's ok, because apt-get update exits immediateluy [10:42] :-) [10:43] http method is busted, alex blames part of the kernel hacks [10:44] SIGSEGV [10:44] yeah - in select on a socket [10:44] "I was suspicious of that socket code" [10:44] --Alex [10:46] what socket code? === lamont_r looks === lamont_r forgpt the package name [10:47] mdz: minifo [10:48] or rather, probably minifo-2.6.7 [10:48] isn't that the filesystem overlay thing? [10:48] I do not see what that has to do with TCP sockets, which are what that program is using [10:50] sockets are fd's, which go through the filesystem... [10:50] http://amu.debian.net/tmp/l5.png [10:50] and alex really thought the socket handling was, um, suspect [10:50] mdz: think unix domain sockets [10:50] I agree, it probably is [10:50] but apt doesn't use unix domain sockets [10:51] but the sockets code gets involved anyway [10:52] you're saying that mini_fo mangles generic socket code? === mdz runs away [10:52] no wonder that thing will never go near upstream [10:52] where can I get a copy of that patch? [10:54] mdz: nfc - I didn't even look at it, other than 'http method dies with segv, and strace, pick on alex'. see p.u.c/~lamont/LiveCD/morphix/source === amu detects a bugs bombarding [10:56] I didn't realize you had noticed that major things were broken and weren't filing bugs about them [10:57] 1) didn't see apt not working as major - it's a livecd. 2) the last bug I asked someone to file I got told "please dont" [10:58] the localization bug was mentioned last night - investingating today. [10:59] lamont_r: that was regarding "the live CD has fundamentally different hardware detection" which is a design issue [10:59] true [10:59] but still a WONTFIX bug. [11:00] or at least NOTWARTY [11:00] because we've already declared it to be RC for hoary [11:01] doesn't apt work on morphix? [11:01] not recent disks, apparently [11:01] if it doesn't, I really don't see the point of tolerating all this mini_fo madness [11:01] that seems like the only reason === ph [~ph@pD9E6B75A.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === sivang [~trout@80.179.93.130.forward.012.net.il] has joined #ubuntu-devel === lamont_r adds a chmod to the morphix startup scripts === mvo_ [~egon@suprimo-147.ping.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:21] mdz: looks like minifo might be trivial to fix - want me to see what I can do? [11:31] lamont_r: what's the story? [11:32] well, if it's just a null pointer deref issue (like the oops says), it could just be a matter of a check, dunno until I look [11:35] fear any code that contains the comment: XXX ... this is wrong? [11:35] lol [11:36] lamont_r: dude, I write that kind of code! === T-Bone ducks [11:41] lamont_r: before the oops, there is an assertion failure down in the mini_fo code [11:41] so I don't know what the root cause is [11:41] it shouldn't be passing a NULL up the stack [11:42] mdz: I'll dig into it some [11:42] car done at the mechanics, heading back home in a few [11:42] lamont_r: ok, the localisation stuff is higher-priority though [11:42] I imagine it's more fixable, too [11:43] trivially. [11:43] and I'll fix the rmdir -f issue, since it's in the same package, and equally trivial [11:43] (I fixed the locale issue by adding a chmod 644 after the locale-gen call [11:44] in theory, wifi drivers are in anything newer than the RC bits, but I have no hardware to verify === mxpxpod [~bryan@mxpxpod.user] has left #ubuntu-devel ["later.."] === lamont_r finishes up with the mechanic and heads homeward. [11:54] mdz: anything else before I flee? [11:55] lamont_r: new build with locales fixed later this afternoon?
