| pitti | Morning, guys! | 07:46 |
| mdz | pitti: morning | 07:48 |
| AndyFitz | afternoon | 07:48 |
| pitti | Hi mdz! | 07:48 |
| pitti | mdz: AFAICS you did not yet send out the announcements? | 07:49 |
| mdz | geppy: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/maintainers | 07:49 |
| mdz | pitti: that is correct | 07:49 |
| mdz | pitti: I can run amber if you have tested the packages | 07:49 |
| pitti | mdz: so far I'm prepared for glibc and tetex-bin | 07:50 |
| mdz | pitti: which USN number is each? | 07:54 |
| pitti | mdz: glibc: 4-1, tetex-bin: 9-1 | 07:54 |
| fabbione | mdz: no we can't.. on quite a bunch of hardware it works fine | 07:58 |
| geppy | mdz: Thank you. | 07:58 |
| fabbione | mdz: if we disable it by default, someone will complain of the opposite | 07:58 |
| fabbione | mdz: as usual.. no win2win situation here | 07:58 |
| mdz | fabbione: what will they complain about? | 07:58 |
| fabbione | mdz: welcome to X :-) | 07:58 |
| fabbione | that the cursor is not accelerated in hardware | 07:59 |
| mdz | pitti: both installed, templates are on their way | 07:59 |
| mdz | will they even notice? | 07:59 |
| pitti | mdz: got them | 08:00 |
| fabbione | mdz: people will complain just because there is the option in the config. i don't know at visual level | 08:01 |
| fabbione | + each driver has it's own option | 08:01 |
| fabbione | one has SwCursor another HwCursor | 08:01 |
| fabbione | so you get the picture... | 08:01 |
| mdz | what is the cause of the bug, where there are two cursors on the screen? | 08:02 |
| fabbione | AND THE FONTS BUILD FLAGS in X.org are borked! | 08:02 |
| fabbione | mdz: apparently there is the default black X cursor printed on the screen, but the real mouse works | 08:02 |
| mdz | fabbione: right, it is as if there are two cursors | 08:03 |
| mdz | one hardware and one software? two hardware? | 08:03 |
| mdz | or is it even something else? | 08:03 |
| mdz | perhaps there is a bug that can be fixed | 08:03 |
| pitti | mdz: odd, the libc6 thingy contains two package versions | 08:03 |
| mdz | pitti: yes | 08:03 |
| mdz | pitti: it had to be fixed so that it would build | 08:03 |
| pitti | mdz: right, but can't we just drop the ubuntu2.1? | 08:04 |
| mdz | pitti: yes, you can drop it from the advisory | 08:04 |
| mdz | amber needs to process it, though | 08:04 |
| mdz | it probably should be omitted from the template | 08:04 |
| mdz | pitti: send mail to elmo about it | 08:04 |
| elmo | or just tell me now | 08:05 |
| fabbione | mdz: i think one is the hardware and one is the software | 08:07 |
| fabbione | mdz: yes.. it might be a bug.. and i don't know 1) how to reproduce it 2) if it can be fixed | 08:07 |
| mdz | elmo: wtf are you doing awake? | 08:07 |
| === mdz yawns | ||

| pitti | mdz: out | 08:08 |

| elmo | mdz: ... | 08:09 |
| fabbione | this is going to be so cooooool | 08:13 |
| fabbione | mdz: do you feel lucky today? | 08:13 |
| mdz | fabbione: why, do you want to upload X? :-) | 08:18 |
| elmo | pitti: oh, I thought you guys were talking about nothing-to-merge syncs.. and you weren't.. do mail me about/explain whatever you were talking about ;-) | 08:19 |
| pitti | elmo: the only problem was that the glibc amber output contained two versions (2.1 and 2.2); I deleted all 2.1 package lines | 08:19 |
| mdz | elmo: glibc had two versions in accepted/ | 08:20 |
| mdz | elmo: I passed them both through amber at the same time, as I understand I'm supposed to | 08:20 |
| elmo | yeah, definitely | 08:20 |
| mdz | elmo: and amber included md5sums for both versions in the template | 08:20 |
| mdz | which I think it has always done, but it occurred to me that it doesn't make much sense | 08:20 |
| elmo | well, easy workaround is to run amber twice, that works too | 08:21 |
| elmo | as long as you do it in the right order ;-) | 08:21 |
| elmo | but yeah, I'll TODO hiding anything-but-latest version from template | 08:21 |
| mdz | thanks | 08:21 |
| mdz | and lamont will TODO having everything in warty actually buildable :-) | 08:21 |

| fabbione | mdz: no... i need someone to help me debugging a 22K lines Makefile | 08:22 |
| pitti | mdz: did you already approve the two messages? I did not get them yet | 08:23 |
| mdz | fabbione: I am feeling so tired suddenly | 08:23 |
| elmo | hehe | 08:23 |
| fabbione | mdz: but still lucky, eh? | 08:23 |
| fabbione | elmo just woke up... so he should be fresh :P | 08:24 |
| mdz | pitti: done | 08:24 |
| pitti | mdz: thx. I also added them to the website (works now) | 08:24 |
| mdz | great | 08:24 |
| pitti | mdz: BTW, any idea how to delete this test item? | 08:24 |
| mdz | pitti: test item? | 08:24 |
| pitti | mdz: the USN page contains a "testing manager permissions" item | 08:25 |
| pitti | mdz: maybe lulu created it to check something | 08:25 |
| mdz | pitti: oh, who did that? :-) | 08:25 |
| pitti | mdz: its state is "obsolete", but it still appears | 08:25 |
| mdz | pitti: I changed it to in-progress | 08:26 |
| mdz | so it should not appear | 08:26 |
| mdz | but I do not know if it is possible to delete anything | 08:26 |
| pitti | mdz: ah, right, as soon as I log out, it does not appear any more | 08:26 |
| mdz | elmo: I don't suppose you have a handy list of all the little gotchas for ambering, to give to pitti? | 08:26 |
| pitti | mdz: but neither do my newly added items. Gosh - I changed them to "published"... | 08:27 |
| pitti | mdz: oh, now they do. Please forget that | 08:27 |
| mdz | our website is SO SLOW | 08:27 |
| elmo | the lack of caching probably isn't helping | 08:27 |
| elmo | but yes, it is painful | 08:28 |

| === jdub wipes tears from his face, reading mako's STUPID protein joke | ||
| fabbione | pitti: are you sending out the USN, BEFORE or AFTER the packages are available on the main mirror? | 08:47 |
| pitti | fabbione: after | 08:47 |
| jdub | hoary is back to the glory days of warty | 08:47 |
| pitti | fabbione: mdz ambers them (which should mean to push them to the mirror), then I send out the announcement | 08:47 |
| fabbione | pitti: imho you should wait a coule of hours to give time to the mirrors to sync | 08:47 |
| jdub | every time you update, even if it's only 15 minutes apart or less, there'll be new packages ;) | 08:47 |
| pitti | fabbione: hmm, mdz wanted me to send out the announcements immediately. mdz, what do you think? | 08:48 |
| fabbione | pitti: mdz is asleep | 08:48 |
| pitti | fabbione: oh | 08:48 |
| fabbione | i am afraid that in this way mirror maintainer will be bombed of requests to sync more often | 08:48 |
| pitti | fabbione: hmm, mirroring is a good point; OTOH, further delay of updates is not the best thing either | 08:49 |
| fabbione | pitti: i completed my mirror 10 minutes before the USN | 08:49 |
| pitti | fabbione: maybe there could be some sort of a mirror pulse whenever a new security upload is available? It's not that much to sync | 08:49 |
| fabbione | and the packages were not there | 08:50 |
| pitti | fabbione: maybe this should be discussed on the ML? | 08:50 |
| fabbione | on Debian they usually wait that it is available | 08:50 |
| elmo | no they don't fabbione | 08:50 |
| elmo | they tell people not to mirror security.debian.org | 08:50 |
| pitti | nevertheless folks do it | 08:50 |
| fabbione | elmo: i still see the DSA and i have the packages on the local mirror | 08:51 |
| elmo | yes, but the point is they don't delay DSAs for the sake of mirrors | 08:51 |
| fabbione | and i mirror debian much less often than ubuntu | 08:51 |
| elmo | because there are no official ones | 08:51 |
| elmo | and I don't think we should delay our USNs either | 08:51 |
| fabbione | elmo: it's not like delaying them 24Hours | 08:51 |
| pitti | me neither, I rather think the mirroring strategy should be fixed then | 08:51 |
| fabbione | pitti: i agree | 08:52 |
| elmo | what mirroring strategy? | 08:52 |
| pitti | fabbione: would this be technically possible to send out a mirror pulse? | 08:52 |
| fabbione | elmo: the point is that we don't have a fully separate archive for security | 08:52 |
| fabbione | pitti: yes. that can be done | 08:52 |
| fabbione | pitti: but it's up to elmo to implement it | 08:52 |
| elmo | not to fabbione's personal mirror it won't | 08:52 |
| fabbione | i use ssh triggers for that | 08:52 |
| fabbione | elmo: nahh... i am not that selfish you know :-) | 08:53 |
| fabbione | i can handle stuff for myself.. i am more concerned about normal users that do not understand all the details behind stuff and that usually tends to panic when they read "security" | 08:54 |
| fabbione | elmo: allow me that at least :P | 08:54 |
| elmo | normal users are going to be pointed at security.ubuntu.com | 08:55 |
| fabbione | not in big company environments | 08:55 |
| fabbione | anyway | 08:55 |
| elmo | we wouldn't be triggering big company environments, so what's your point? | 08:55 |
| elmo | dude, we can not "fix" this | 08:55 |
| fabbione | it's pitti and mdz call for that | 08:55 |
| fabbione | elmo: companies like Ericsson (just to make an example) have their own internal mirrors | 08:56 |
| fabbione | and you might end up triggering them | 08:56 |
| elmo | err, no I wouldn't? | 08:56 |
| pitti | fabbione: it certainly makes sense to have a local mirror; maybe we can introduce a kind of "sync subscription" process? | 08:56 |
| pitti | elmo: why do you think it's bad to send out sync triggers? | 08:57 |
| elmo | pitti: I didn't say it was | 08:57 |
| fabbione | elmo: if company $FOO comes here and say: we pay XXXXX USD/month to be triggered.... | 08:57 |
| fabbione | elmo: aren't we going to trigger it? | 08:57 |
| elmo | pitti: but you have a hiearchahal structure | 08:57 |
| elmo | not a flat one where you trigger every mirror and his dog | 08:57 |
| pitti | elmo: so we do trigger some main mirrors? | 08:57 |
| elmo | pitti: no not right now, but what's your point? even if we do, we should NOT delay USNs for that | 08:58 |
| elmo | and triggers are triggers - you have no idea when the mirror is up2date | 08:58 |
| pitti | elmo: no, we shouldn't delay USNs, that was not my question | 08:59 |
| elmo | or often, even if the trigger's worked, they're not some magic solution | 08:59 |
| pitti | elmo: I just thought about shortening the mirroring delay | 08:59 |
| fabbione | ok... and another bug in X.org is fixed | 09:07 |

| fabbione | daniels: http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~fabbione/006_update_fonts_Imakefiles.diff | 09:51 |
| fabbione | please apply upstream if it is not there alredy in 6.8.1+CVS | 09:52 |
| fabbione | it fixes fonts build | 09:52 |
| daniels | fabbione: what the hell? disppeared? | 09:54 |
| daniels | probably because no-one cares | 09:54 |
| daniels | fabbione: ok, I'll check it out | 09:54 |

| fabbione | argh | 10:00 |
| fabbione | daniels: wait.. there is a missing bit in the patch | 10:00 |
| fabbione | daniels: it should be ok now | 10:04 |
| thom | pitti: you need to fix the desktop seed - libhal-storage is in universe | 10:15 |
| pitti | thom: argh, thanks for that hint | 10:15 |
| pitti | thom: can I do that myself? | 10:15 |
| thom | i don't know | 10:16 |
| thom | sorry | 10:16 |
| pitti | thom: I'll mail matt | 10:16 |
| jdub | hrm | 10:16 |
| jdub | so | 10:16 |
| jdub | does germinate pull from the new wiki or the old wiki? :) | 10:17 |
| jdub | pitti: approved | 10:17 |
| thom | jdub: i was wondering that | 10:17 |
| jdub | pitti: but i imagine it will make most sense on the old wiki atm | 10:17 |
| pitti | jdub: okay, then I'll add it there | 10:17 |
| thom | old wiki is read only | 10:17 |
| jdub | oh | 10:17 |
| jdub | already | 10:17 |
| pitti | then new wiki... :-) | 10:17 |
| pitti | jdub: if it does not work with the new wiki, I can still bother mdz; it's not that urgent, nothing uses this library yet (I think) | 10:18 |
| pitti | jdub: no, sorry, hal itself uses it | 10:18 |
| thom | well, hal depends on it | 10:18 |
| thom | so trying to use just hoary will break | 10:18 |

| jamesh | hi seb128 | 10:33 |
| pitti | jdub: that is, I shouldn't | 10:33 |
| seb128 | hey jamesh | 10:34 |
| jdub | pitti: oh, true, germinate is totally unrelated to hoary so far | 10:34 |
| daniels | bob2: X Athena Widgets | 10:34 |
| jdub | pitti: perhaps just put it on SupportedSeed proposals for hoary if it needs to go there (isn't it a depends?) | 10:34 |
| bob2 | daniels: ah | 10:34 |
| pitti | jdub: it is a depends, that's why I'm wondering why it got to universe | 10:35 |
| pitti | jdub: seems like germinate did not run recently | 10:35 |
| pitti | jdub: I shouldn't need to modify the seeds | 10:35 |
| jamesh | seb128: w.r.t. the new drive mount applet and Hoary, would it be easier if I backported it to 2.8, or just leave it for a 2.9 release. | 10:36 |
| jamesh | ? | 10:36 |
| seb128 | just leave it, I'll package the 2.9 branch | 10:36 |

| amu | robtaylor: pong | 10:50 |
| daniels | bob2: mmm | 10:50 |
| robtaylor | amu: hey :) have you seen the bug i logged about hotplug not working on the live cd? | 10:50 |
| robtaylor | amu: well, hal not working, but i'm pretty sure hal doesnt work cause hotplug isnt being run from the pivot_rooted root.. | 10:51 |
| amu | robtaylor: strange, looks like matt thinks the same, i tried with a ext fs, looks working, but it wasnt automountet. | 10:55 |
| robtaylor | amu: yeah i cant quite figure whats wroing - i've but debug code in /sbin/hotplug on a running livecd system, and it never gets called | 10:56 |
| amu | hmm, i've still no idea, what's different if you compare a chroot or a "normal" sys | 10:56 |
| robtaylor | amu: well doenst morphic pivot_root twice? | 10:57 |
| robtaylor | or is it chroot? | 10:57 |
| amu | pivot_root | 10:57 |
| robtaylor | right, so that uses a new namespace | 10:57 |
| robtaylor | its possible the kernel is trying to run hotplug in one of the other namespaces.. | 10:57 |
| robtaylor | but the only problem with this hypothesis is that i find it hard to belive noones ever noticed hotplug not working... | 10:58 |
| amu | robtaylor: i think, thats should be problem for hotplug, doent matter at which time you insert you hardware, hotplugs job is loading the module, if you chroot to somewhat else, it should work also. Sounds funny if you chroot into a chroot and you have no disk left. | 11:01 |
| amu | or a missing ethernet interface, cause of the chroot | 11:02 |
| robtaylor | amu: yep, it'd definitly a bug if its not working they way we expect it to work.. it could be some 2.6 kernel bug and maybe only occus after two pivot_root, or some such obscureness | 11:02 |
| amu | probably hotplug is the (main) problem. | 11:02 |
| robtaylor | amu: or are you saying you'd expect hotplug to run from the main system, not the pivot_rooted system? | 11:03 |
| robtaylor | amu: chroot is very different to pivot_root | 11:03 |
| amu | mdz: we should discuss a redesign :) i've some ideas | 11:03 |
| amu | robtaylor: just a minute ... | 11:04 |
| robtaylor | amu: np :) | 11:05 |
| amu | robtaylor: your localtime 10:08 is correct ? | 11:09 |
| amu | ....i've to wait for mdz | 11:09 |
| robtaylor | amu: yep :) | 11:10 |
| robtaylor | amu: ok. what's his TZ? | 11:11 |
| robtaylor | amu: so i dont get what you're saying.. are you saying that this is how hotplug works by design? | 11:12 |
| amu | probably : TIME reply from mdz: Thu Oct 28 02:10:11 | 11:12 |
| sivang | hey sparkes | 11:12 |
| robtaylor | amu: ah , we'll be waiting a long time.. | 11:13 |
| robtaylor | amu: i'm not convinced, as i see it a pivot_root call *should* change current->fs->root | 11:14 |
| amu | robtaylor: i tried with RC2, a ext3 on it, device is detected but not automounted. if i mount it by hand it works | 11:14 |
| enrico | Hello, good morning. I posted the question about Wiki contents licensing in the warthogs list some days ago, but I haven't got any answer. However, it'd be important for the doc team to know about that | 11:15 |
| robtaylor | amu: if you run syslog, do you get any hotplug messages? | 11:16 |
| robtaylor | amu: bear in mind that morphix adds a fstab entry for sda1 by default | 11:17 |
| robtaylor | and that if the device is plugged in at boot, it gets detected by the coldplugging | 11:17 |
| amu | robtaylor: yap, without any error | 11:18 |

| === sparkes [~sparkes@host81-154-216-173.range81-154.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| amu | robtaylor: impossible, if you run a scsi-sys, extern scsiCDrom, sata disks | 11:19 |
| robtaylor | amu: well it should work. the coldplugging is just script running in whereever you did your /etc/rc.0/Sxxhotplug | 11:19 |
| robtaylor | amu: eh? | 11:19 |
| amu | ... sda1 by default | 11:20 |
| robtaylor | amu: boto up the livecd with no scsi devices added, and /etc/fstab will have an entry for sda1. yes its broken. | 11:25 |
| robtaylor | amu: try it of you dont beleive me =) | 11:25 |
| amu | robtaylor: first thing i've to do, i must reach mdz. If he say ok, you spend much time as you need on this bug, thats fine for me. | 11:25 |
| robtaylor | amu: if he says ok to what? | 11:26 |
| robtaylor | amu: right now the livecd is very broken... i dont see how you can release a warty livecd with no working hal.. | 11:27 |
| amu | robtaylor: right, cause of this, i need mdz, the liveCd isnt designed for hal. | 11:29 |
| robtaylor | ah | 11:30 |

| Mithrandir | pitti: use int_64 or whatever it's called? | 12:41 |
| robtaylor | jdub: libgnomesu? | 12:41 |
| pitti | Keybuk: any better method to check for integer multiplication overflow? | 12:41 |
| Keybuk | pitti: asm | 12:41 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: oh, if that exists and is portable? | 12:41 |
| jdub | robtaylor: see the post, it's kinda what the library name implies ;) | 12:41 |
| jamesh | pitti: there is some code in Python's int class to do that portably | 12:41 |
| Keybuk | pitti: there's also imaxdiv in C99 | 12:42 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: uint64_t | 12:43 |
| Mithrandir | afaik, it's portable. | 12:43 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: thanks, this is great | 12:43 |
| pitti | Keybuk: thanks as well, now I have some ideas | 12:43 |
| jamesh | pitti: the Python code uses floating point multiplication and compares the result with an integer multiplication. | 12:43 |
| robtaylor | jdub: ah, nothing too exciting then.. | 12:44 |
| pitti | jamesh: hmm, that's a bit ugly but could be a last resort | 12:44 |
| === robtaylor and carlos need to write authd some day.. | ||
| robtaylor | though if gnome apps standardise on using libgnomesu, that'll make integration nice an easy :) | 12:45 |
| pitti | Keybuk: sivang is right, http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Long-Long.html says it's 64 bit minimum | 12:45 |
| === __daniel [~daniel@td9091b13.pool.terralink.de] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| pitti | Keybuk: but I think uint64_t is nicer | 12:45 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: I could see if it exists on irix, if we have the SGI compiler there.. if it exists there, it exists everywhere ;P | 12:46 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: well, above link is just for gcc... | 12:46 |
| jamesh | pitti: how portable does it really need to be? | 12:46 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: which would be okay for a security fix, however, I'm interested in a generic solution | 12:46 |
| pitti | jamesh: it's just a security fix for Ubuntu | 12:46 |
| jamesh | I mean, long long is available on pretty much all modern systems. | 12:46 |
| jamesh | ah. | 12:46 |
| pitti | jamesh: so gcc is enough | 12:46 |
| === tseng [~tseng@thegrebs.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| sivang | tseng : gemme the apt source for tomboy :) | 12:47 |
| Keybuk | pitti: sizes are *officially* implementation defined, but I suspect all unixes define long long as at least 64-bits :) | 12:48 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I think I will rely on uint64_t. The advantage is, if it does not exist on a platform, you get a compiler error | 12:48 |
| Keybuk | indeed | 12:49 |
| pitti | Keybuk: instead of making it silently work | 12:49 |
| sivang | pitti : or loose bits off at a functino call :) | 12:49 |
| pitti | sivang: this is indeed the critical part | 12:49 |
| jamesh | Keybuk: I thought they had some set minimums for certain sizes though. | 12:49 |
| Keybuk | pitti: long long is defined as being "at least as wide as long" | 12:49 |
| pitti | I currently need to fix libgd2, and it uses malloc(width*height) style | 12:49 |
| jamesh | certain types, even. | 12:49 |
| Keybuk | jamesh: god no, that'd limit C to 8-bit architectures | 12:49 |
| pitti | both width and height are 32 bit | 12:49 |
| Mithrandir | seems to exist on IRIX 6.5 just fine. | 12:50 |
| pitti | so I want to multiply into a 64 bit int, then compare against UINT_MAX or so | 12:50 |

| sivang | Mithrandir : you have access to an IRIX ? cool | 12:50 |
| Keybuk | 32-bit machines "long int" and "int" are the same width, 16-bit "long int" is twice as wide as "int" for example (generally speaking) | 12:50 |
| Mithrandir | sivang: for some value of cool, sure. ;) | 12:50 |

| sivang | Mithrandir : desktopish like? | 12:52 |
| jamesh | on ILP32 systems, int and long int are the same :) | 12:52 |
| jamesh | good thing there aren't many LP32 ones. | 12:52 |
| Mithrandir | a 250MHz R4400, the box itself is a bit biggish desktop case. | 12:52 |
| pitti | jamesh: why, int and long int are the same also on i386 | 12:52 |
| jamesh | pitti: i386 is ILP32 (== ints, longs and pointers are 32-bit) | 12:53 |
| Keybuk | pitti: in fact, obviously now I think about it, LP64 and ILP64 architectures have "long int" as 64-bit | 12:53 |
| pitti | jamesh: ah | 12:53 |
| pitti | Keybuk: right, but my numbers are explicitly declared as 32-bit ones | 12:53 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: what arches are ILP64? | 12:53 |
| jamesh | Keybuk: and Windows 64 is neither LP64 or ILP64 .. | 12:53 |
| Keybuk | LLP64? | 12:54 |

| === tuo2 [~foo@adsl-36-114.swiftdsl.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| sabdfl | hmm... does it make sense to but 5.04 in for hoary now? | 01:25 |
| sabdfl | what if gnome slips? | 01:25 |
| seb128 | ? I don't understand the question ? It uses it in the same way as the other GNOME apps do ... | 01:25 |
| sabdfl | seb128: how is that? | 01:25 |
| seb128 | there is a gnome_authentication_manager_init () to call and the GNOME libs do all the work | 01:27 |
| jamesh | sabdfl: before adding the gnome_authentication_manager_init(), I'd need to check all the sync. gnome-vfs calls | 01:32 |
| jamesh | since you can get a deadlock if you do a synchronous vfs call while holding the GDK lock and gnome-vfs wants to pop up an auth dialog. | 01:33 |
| seb128 | jamesh: ? I've already uploaded a trashapplet using it, is there a problem ? | 01:34 |
| jamesh | seb128: possibly. | 01:34 |
| seb128 | hum, ok | 01:34 |
| jamesh | seb128: basically, an app using gnome-authentication_manager_init() needs to be a threaded GTK program | 01:35 |
| seb128 | let me know if you get a problem, seems to work fine here | 01:35 |
| jamesh | (normally, no GTK calls are made in gnome-vfs's worker threads so you don't need to turn on GTK threading( | 01:35 |
| jamesh | but the auth dialogs change that. | 01:35 |
| seb128 | ok. How do you check there is no problem so ? | 01:36 |
| jamesh | well, all idles and timeouts that make GTK calls need to call gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() | 01:37 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: if we have to remove the Under Development thing anyway, we've got time to change it | 01:37 |
| jamesh | and all sync gnome-vfs calls need to be surrounded by gdk_threads_leave() and gdk_threads_enter(). | 01:38 |
| Keybuk | sabdfl: then we slip and change to 5.05 :) | 01:39 |
| sabdfl | Kamion: ok, i was just thinking we should maybe put no version number in there while it's under development | 01:39 |
| fabbione | thom: lol | 01:39 |
| seb128 | jamesh: ok | 01:40 |
| jamesh | seb128: I'll look at it tomorrow. I also noticed that the trash applet wasn't resizing quite right too, which should be pretty easy to fix. | 01:46 |
| seb128 | yes, there is a bug open about this | 01:50 |

| sjoerd | pitti: oh i'm just wondering how it all works out.. i wouldn't really want all users who can mount, to also be able to have direct write perms | 02:35 |
| === Mithrandir [~tfheen@vawad.err.no] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | sjoerd: well, they can do pretty much anything with USB devices anyway | 02:36 |
| jono | where are the fdi files in ubuntu located? | 02:37 |
| sjoerd | pitti: the user can, not the programs running as user | 02:38 |
| pitti | sjoerd: we wanted to keep it compatible to 'disk', but if Debian wants to have the permissons as 640, Ubuntu can adopt this, too | 02:39 |
| pitti | sjoerd: personally, I don't have a very strong preference, but I like to be able to partition my devices without becoming root | 02:40 |
| rburton | jono: i imagine /usr/share/hal/fdi | 02:40 |
| pitti | sjoerd: also, hal will not be able to change device labels without write permission as plugdev | 02:40 |
| pitti | sjoerd: according to the reply to my question on the hal list, hal will support that | 02:40 |
| sjoerd | i know | 02:41 |
| sjoerd | i'm not really happy with it though | 02:41 |
| pitti | sjoerd: I would have preferred a database maintained by g-v-m | 02:42 |
| sjoerd | pitti: explain | 02:42 |
| pitti | sjoerd: but it would only apply to one host and not to other OS | 02:42 |
| pitti | sjoerd: instead of writing the device label to the device, g-v-m could maintain a persistent mapping UUID -> label | 02:43 |
| pitti | sjoerd: s/writing/using/ | 02:43 |
| sjoerd | one could do that mapping in hal, user specific fdi's would be nice for that | 02:43 |
| sjoerd | for the labelling, why not have an external program that signals hal to reread the label | 02:43 |
| pitti | sjoerd: in fact storing the labels in hal (persistently in /var/lib/hal or so) was my idea | 02:44 |
| rburton | (speaking of which, any idea how to change the label on vfat without booting windows) | 02:44 |
| pitti | sjoerd: and the reason why I asked on the ML whether hal supports persistent keys | 02:44 |
| jono | are these fdi files probed each time you plug a device in? | 02:44 |
| sjoerd | pitti: sorry forgot the exact reasoning :) | 02:44 |
| sjoerd | jono: yes | 02:44 |
| pitti | sjoerd: both approaches have pros and cons | 02:45 |
| jono | sjoerd, does it load each file one by one and check the pci/usb id? | 02:45 |
| pitti | sjoerd: device labels are very limited, but aren't restricted to one host | 02:45 |
| sjoerd | pitti: long time ago there was a discussion about the exact goal of hal.. and one of the outcomes was that hal wasn't ment as system configurator | 02:46 |
| pitti | sjoerd: I always understood it as hardware database | 02:46 |
| pitti | sjoerd: so I think persistent keys fit into the idea | 02:46 |
| sjoerd | pitti: so why they want to put labelling inside... | 02:47 |
| jono | how can I probe the vendor id and device of a usb device? | 02:47 |
| sjoerd | jono: at which level ? hal can tell you those | 02:48 |
| pitti | sjoerd: don't ask me... | 02:48 |
| pitti | sjoerd: I would prefer hal to stay read-only | 02:48 |
| pitti | sjoerd: this would fit with the host-based database of device labels | 02:48 |
| jono | ahhh it says them in the device manager - I am writing an fdi file for my mouse | 02:48 |
| sjoerd | pitti: i'm not asking you, i'm explainig why i find it weird :) | 02:48 |
| pitti | sjoerd: sorry | 02:48 |
| sjoerd | pitti: i'm probably not completely clear, my fault | 02:48 |
| sjoerd | pitti: we don't have to follow hal in the labelling part though.. | 02:50 |
| sjoerd | hal upstream thatis | 02:51 |
| pitti | sjoerd: right | 02:51 |
| pitti | sjoerd: but if we use the physical device labels, the user still needs to have write access to the device | 02:51 |

| fabbione | x.org takes 60% more time to build | 03:03 |
| fabbione | time and space actually | 03:03 |
| robtaylor | fabbione: oh no! i thought it was supposed to be getting better!! | 03:03 |
| pitti | robtaylor: ever saw a new upstream version that was leaner and faster than it's predecessor? :-/ | 03:04 |
| robtaylor | fabbione: any ideas why? is x.org still using imake or have they transitioned to autotools now? | 03:04 |
| fabbione | robtaylor: not when tons of people have cvs commit to it | 03:04 |
| robtaylor | pitti: heheh good point ;) | 03:04 |
| fabbione | robtaylor: the problem is not Imake or autocrap | 03:04 |
| pitti | robtaylor: about the only thing that would possibly help was to rewrite it from scratch | 03:04 |
| fabbione | robtaylor: the problem is the amount of (useless) code that has been committed | 03:04 |
| pitti | robtaylor: but not for Hoary then... :-) | 03:04 |
| fabbione | and i am pretty sure there is something badly wrong with the build system | 03:04 |
| robtaylor | pitti: i thought that was the plan.. ;) | 03:05 |
| pitti | sjoerd: oh, providing a wrapper around pmount is really a good idea | 03:05 |
| fabbione | because i noticed that timestamps are not in order as they should | 03:05 |
| fabbione | and the build dir is full of .bak files | 03:05 |
| robtaylor | fabbione: quit epossible, thats why i asked if they'd transitioned yet | 03:05 |
| pitti | sjoerd: it should be in a package pmount-hal or so | 03:05 |
| fabbione | robtaylor: but i don't have this problem with Xfree86 | 03:05 |
| fabbione | so it must be something they introduces recently | 03:05 |
| robtaylor | probably :( | 03:05 |
| robtaylor | check the changelog for anything suspicious.. | 03:05 |
| fabbione | robtaylor: one thing at a time :-) | 03:06 |
| robtaylor | heh | 03:06 |
| fabbione | point is that they didn't check what they checked out of xfree86 | 03:06 |
| fabbione | and their cvs is kinda borked | 03:06 |
| fabbione | so it's not even easy to do so | 03:06 |
| robtaylor | uurgh | 03:06 |
| fabbione | for example... | 03:07 |
| fabbione | the Imakefiles.inc in xc/fonts/bdf/75dpi | 03:07 |
| fabbione | that one is 4 and half years old | 03:07 |
| fabbione | and buggy | 03:07 |
| fabbione | but the one in xfree86 (still the real free version) | 03:07 |
| fabbione | is 1 year old | 03:07 |
| fabbione | and it works fine | 03:07 |
| fabbione | so i suspect that their fork hasn't been done properly | 03:08 |
| fabbione | at all | 03:08 |

| Keybuk | fabbione: sure, those are for everyone else to spend time on :) I've done 150 :p | 03:15 |
| Keybuk | just ignore it | 03:15 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: sure.. i was helping :-) | 03:16 |
| Keybuk | robtaylor: one nice thing about this is we end up with a fresh set of patches to ping people with | 03:17 |
| Keybuk | (after we've filtered out branding and so-on) | 03:17 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: might want to deal with things like the removal of vi.po throughout d-i | 03:19 |
| Keybuk | heh, yeah I noticed that one <g> | 03:19 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: (it was removed in Debian because it wasn't well-enough maintained, but your hoary patch adds it back in) | 03:19 |
| Keybuk | I deliberately ignored debian-deletion of translations | 03:19 |
| Keybuk | just incase you screamed at me | 03:19 |
| Kamion | also, uh, debian/templates seems to be added back in for anna? | 03:19 |
| Kamion | I bet it's called anna.templates now | 03:20 |
| Keybuk | there's a reason those are all in "review" :o) they need a human to check them because the automatic stuff went "uhh..." at them | 03:20 |
| Kamion | which will probably require .po changes | 03:20 |
| Kamion | ok, fair enough | 03:20 |
| === Kamion will snag all the d-i ones later, then | ||
| Keybuk | it'd be good if people could note what they had to fix as well, because then we can fix that kind of stuff automatically next time | 03:20 |
| robtaylor | Keybuk: good going :) | 03:21 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: ready/kbd-chooser/ has the same problem with ga.po and vi.po though | 03:21 |
| Kamion | might want to add an "uhh..." when Debian deletes a translation | 03:22 |
| Keybuk | ah, ok, I'll fix that one manually | 03:22 |
| fabbione | cache hit 129731 | 03:22 |
| fabbione | (btw ccachetop rocks) | 03:23 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: ok, does kbd-chooser look right now? | 03:24 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: I think that UML-addition hunk is a duplicate | 03:26 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: that code got merged in Debian | 03:26 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: note the diff -p header | 03:26 |
| Keybuk | yeah was just noticing that | 03:27 |
| Kamion | the only change should be the high->critical bit, I think | 03:27 |
| === Keybuk wonders why he didn't spot that before (I did diff -p for that reason) :p | ||
| Kamion | nice work, though :) | 03:32 |
| robtaylor | amu: well, i've been grokking kernel sources all day, and as far as i can tell the rootfs of the kernel helper thread that start the process that execve's to /asbin/hotplug should have had its root changed by pivot_root... | 03:33 |
| Kamion | robtaylor: I'm missing context; but you don't have /sbin/hotplug in the initrd do you? | 03:34 |
| robtaylor | amu: so either a) the hypothesis is wrong or b) its a subtle kernel bug | 03:34 |
| robtaylor | Kamion: context is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2758 | 03:35 |
| robtaylor | bascially on the livecd, /sbin/hotplug doesnt seem to ever get called | 03:35 |
| robtaylor | (except when coldplugging) | 03:36 |
| Kamion | might be worth making sure /sbin/hotplug only exists in the final pivot_rooted filesystem | 03:36 |
| robtaylor | Kamion: might be, but even then, if the kernel helper thread has the wrong fs->root, then its'll fail to execve it.. | 03:37 |
| Kamion | true | 03:39 |
| Kamion | was thinking more of the problem I had last night where udevd was running in the wrong root | 03:39 |
| Kamion | thereby making it hard to umount it | 03:39 |
| robtaylor | Kamion: it does appear that minimod has /sbin/hotplug | 03:39 |
| === Kamion -> lunch | ||
| robtaylor | Kamion: intersting.. how did you reach that state? | 03:39 |
| robtaylor | Kamion: wow. late lunch! | 03:40 |
| thom | hrm, lunch sounds like a stunning plan | 03:40 |

| === pitti_ [~martin@195.227.105.180] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti_ | pitti_: can I read this? | 03:49 |
| Kamion | robtaylor: I only started at about 11 | 04:02 |
| Kamion | robtaylor: I had all the hotplug and udev infrastructure in the initrd; you pretty much have to, because of the way d-i's early putting-itself-together process works | 04:03 |
| Kamion | robtaylor: so a hotplug event fired just after init started, and triggered udevsend, which started udevd before /sbin/init got around to doing pivot_root | 04:03 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: btw, is there any consideration for binaries in d-i? | 04:07 |
| === Keybuk is knocking up the map parser at the moment | ||
| Keybuk | I suspect there won't be an issue, because it's written to be tiny and not depend on anything in /usr anyway | 04:08 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: what do you mean? | 04:08 |
| Kamion | oh, you mean something written in C? go ahead, shouldn't be a problem | 04:08 |
| Keybuk | yeah, something small and fast | 04:09 |
| fabbione | robtaylor: got it! the install targets relinks all the binaries around! | 04:11 |
| fabbione | creating all .bak files | 04:11 |
| fabbione | that's so SAD | 04:11 |
| Kamion | somebody make hotplug's init script less insanely verbose, too | 04:14 |
| Kamion | it's really ugly as d-i starts now | 04:14 |
| Kamion | hmm. it's safe to run /etc/hotplug/*.rc start multiple times, isn't it? | 04:15 |
| sladen | daniels: to you have a handied separated copy of the -noswitchvt patch ? | 04:15 |
| robtaylor | Kamion: should be | 04:16 |
| Kamion | good, I'll need that | 04:17 |
| robtaylor | Kamion: hmm, but for you, after the pivot_root, its running the /sbin/hotplug in the pivoted root? | 04:18 |
| Micksa | is it just me or is the teams' development process maginificently streamlined? | 04:19 |
| robtaylor | fabbione: thats pretty grim | 04:20 |
| Kamion | robtaylor: yep, definitely | 04:25 |
| Micksa | anyway, how can I find out about the team's development methods? is there much info on the wiki or whatever? | 04:25 |

| pitti | sjoerd: I'm currently at fixing pmount | 05:03 |
| pitti | sjoerd: if pmount shall get a "-t" option for specifying the fs type | 05:03 |
| pitti | sjoerd: what shall pmount then do with the mount options? | 05:03 |
| pitti | sjoerd: currently it uses appropriate mount options for each file system type (i. e. whether it supports rw, uid=, etc.) | 05:04 |
| sjoerd | pitti: with the other mount options you mean ? | 05:04 |
| pitti | sjoerd: yes, like -o uid=1000 or so | 05:04 |
| pitti | sjoerd: some file systems don't support them and will fail to mount | 05:04 |
| Micksa | ah, I see. the doc team are establishing a structure in the new wiki. | 05:04 |
| pitti | sjoerd: so either I keep a mapping of valid file systems and only allow keys of this mapping as -t | 05:04 |
| pitti | sjoerd: s/so either/A solution would be that/ | 05:05 |
| pitti | sjoerd: any better idea? | 05:05 |
| sjoerd | pitti: i guess that's the best | 05:05 |
| === pitti wishes ANSI C had a ready-to-use mapping type | ||
| sjoerd | pitti: letting the calling process indicate the options is insecure, so the only way is internal | 05:06 |
| pitti | sjoerd: ? | 05:06 |
| pitti | sjoerd: please try to reexplain that, my brain is already very boiled today :-( | 05:07 |
| sjoerd | pitti: your solutions is doing it internal, map the given filesystem to sane options right.. | 05:07 |
| pitti | sjoerd: yes, that was my intention | 05:07 |
| pitti | sjoerd: if no -t is specified, I try every entry in succession | 05:07 |
| sjoerd | pitti: doing it !internal -> external, would be to have for example the calling process specify the options | 05:07 |
| pitti | sjoerd: if -t is specified, I look it up (and fail if it is not found) | 05:07 |
| sjoerd | but that's insecure | 05:08 |
| pitti | sjoerd: I still don't understand | 05:08 |
| pitti | sjoerd: you mean that I put the mapping into a conffile? | 05:08 |
| === pitti is too lazy to parse it | ||
| Micksa | hrmyes. | 05:09 |
| Micksa | oops | 05:09 |
| pitti | sjoerd: what do you mean with "external mapping"? | 05:09 |
| sjoerd | pitti: external == something else then pmount :) | 05:10 |
| pitti | sjoerd: but then pmount had to check the options for validity | 05:10 |
| sjoerd | yep, so that sucks | 05:10 |
| pitti | sjoerd: there really isn't much you can change | 05:10 |
| pitti | sjoerd: apart from sync/async | 05:11 |
| sjoerd | hence your option is the best :) | 05:11 |
| pitti | sjoerd: also, it does not require to parse something :-? | 05:11 |
| hornbeck | what happened to the new wiki? | 05:12 |
| hornbeck | nevermind I guess my settings got changed | 05:12 |
| sjoerd | pitti: btw do you want to package a hal-pmount wrapper seperate from pmount? | 05:14 |
| pitti | sjoerd: I don't want the core pmount package depend on hal | 05:14 |
| pitti | sjoerd: because it is also useful without hal at all | 05:14 |
| sjoerd | s/hal/libhal{,-storage}0 | 05:15 |
| pitti | sjoerd: so the source package could produce another .deb (arch-all) which depends on pmount and hal | 05:15 |
| pitti | :w | 05:17 |
| sjoerd | my first choice would be to implement it in C.. there are no language bindings for the hal libs | 05:17 |
| pitti | argh, wrong window | 05:17 |
| sjoerd | hehe | 05:17 |
| pitti | sjoerd: not? there is hal-get-property, not? | 05:17 |
| pitti | sjoerd: you mean there is no shell binding for hal-storage? | 05:17 |
| === sid77 -> quit, bye | ||
| sjoerd | ok, you could call that a binding.. | 05:18 |
| === sjoerd always find shell to get cumbersome very quickly | ||
| pitti | sjoerd: I actually thought of a simple shell wrapper | 05:18 |
| pitti | sjoerd: well, python would be okay, too :-) | 05:18 |
| sjoerd | then you have the language bindings problem.. you can talk to hal directly like h-d-m, but still | 05:19 |
| pitti | sjoerd: hmm, we should start with a shell wrapper | 05:19 |
| sjoerd | maybe it's simple enough to be plain shell, haven't thought about it enough | 05:19 |
| pitti | sjoerd: if it gets too clumsy, we can change the language at any time | 05:19 |
| sjoerd | pitti: agreed | 05:20 |
| pitti | sjoerd: so it shouldn't actually do more than specify (or not) --async and the device label, right? | 05:20 |
| pitti | sjoerd: sounds like a four-line script by now | 05:20 |
| sjoerd | hmmm.. the default policy defines more options, probably not usefull for us | 05:22 |
| pitti | sjoerd: which options? | 05:22 |
| sjoerd | nosuid, noexec, noauto, ro | 05:22 |
| sjoerd | first three are obvious | 05:22 |
| pitti | sjoerd: hmm, pmount policy fixes this | 05:23 |
| sjoerd | yeah, so their useless for us | 05:23 |
| pitti | sjoerd: not only for us - allowing suid mounts is kind of insane... | 05:23 |
| mdz | morning | 05:24 |
| sjoerd | pitti: fstab-sync isn't very sane :p | 05:24 |
| sjoerd | pitti: to be serious, it's indeed just sync and suggested label for now.. so a shell script should do the trick | 05:24 |
| pitti | sjoerd: don't tell me that fstab-sync currently respects the nosuid value from hal! | 05:24 |
| sjoerd | pitti: i won't say a word about that then :) | 05:25 |
| pitti | :-) | 05:25 |
| pitti | whoever... nevermind | 05:25 |
| mdz | pitti: no, no approval is needed for syncs at this stage, just verify against the changelog | 05:26 |

| robtaylor | daniels: i know, i was just teasing you ;) | 05:27 |
| mdz | pitti: in most cases I can assign one | 05:27 |
| pitti | mdz: I already mailed cve@mitre.org to get one for #2808 | 05:27 |
| pitti | mdz: but I did not get an answer so far | 05:27 |
| mdz | however, if a vulnerability is publicly known, it must be assigned by MITRE in order to avoid duplicate assignments | 05:27 |
| daniels | robtaylor: heh | 05:27 |
| mdz | pitti: I usually mail "Steven M. Christey" <coley@mitre.org> | 05:28 |
| pitti | mdz: hmm, it's on bugtraq, I guess that counts as public | 05:28 |
| robtaylor | mdz: that livecd bug's just looking worse by the day :/ | 05:28 |
| pitti | mdz: hmm, I followed the FAQ and mailed cve@ | 05:28 |
| mdz | robtaylor: which one? | 05:28 |
| mdz | pitti: they probably go to the same place | 05:28 |

| mdz | it was impossible to fix in time | 05:29 |
| robtaylor | mdz: yeah, whats the plan going forward? | 05:29 |
| mdz | pitti: wait, the bug is not serious | 05:29 |

| pitti | mdz: I just meant I can talk to the modem of my friend directly over ppp | 05:32 |

| mdz | pitti: if you truly want to release without a CAN, you may | 05:33 |
| mdz | pitti: it creates more work for _you_ though, to track it | 05:33 |
| pitti | mdz: since it's not that critical, I can wait for another day or two | 05:33 |

| pitti | mdz: nevertheless, I compare it to INT_MAX, not to UINT_MAX | 05:53 |
| jdub | pitti: i gather the only reason he's not doing sudo so far is because he hasn't figured out how to do it nicely, within his framework | 05:53 |

| pitti | mdz: okay, then I change the patch | 05:56 |
| sivang | mdz : do you have a minute for me? | 05:56 |
| mdz | sivang: I cannot give you my undivided attention, but please don't wait, just describe your idea | 05:57 |
| robtaylor | lamont: back yet? | 05:58 |
| lamont | robtaylor: sorry, yes. | 05:58 |
| mdz | pitti: there is no patch available upstream for libgd? | 05:58 |
| robtaylor | lamont: i've been trying to figure where the pivot_roots/chroots happen, do you knwo enough morphix to point me in the right direction? | 05:59 |
| lamont | not really. | 05:59 |
| sivang | mdz : I've tried to play several media file on the dell, using the debian kernel (on the bugtrail), when I'm constantly at the machine - It seems like its responsivness goes bit higher. | 06:00 |
| lamont | I'd expect to find them in the people.ubuntulinux.org/~lamont/LiveCD/morphix tree though | 06:00 |
| robtaylor | lamont: thanks :) | 06:00 |
| sivang | mdz : My assumption is, that this which menifests lightly on the debian kernel, probably takes much nastier form on the ubuntu ones | 06:00 |
| sivang | mdz : which results in the system barely usabe. | 06:00 |
| seb128 | jdub: here ? | 06:01 |
| jdub | yeah | 06:01 |
| jdub | sivang: the machine is running awfully slow? | 06:01 |
| mdz | sivang: what is the bug #? | 06:01 |
| sivang | mdz : If only I could disable altogether ubunut's support for fan control, thermal and cpu freq | 06:01 |
| sivang | mdz : I think it might be solved. | 06:01 |
| seb128 | jdub: I'm packaging gnome-vfs2 2.8.3 for hoary, good time to add the build-dep on libhowl-dev, right ? | 06:01 |
| sivang | jdub,mdz : sec | 06:02 |
| mdz | sivang: why? | 06:02 |
| jdub | seb128: yes, rock and roll :-) | 06:02 |
| seb128 | ok, cool :) | 06:02 |
| sivang | jdub,mdz : #2315 | 06:02 |
| sivang | mdz : the fact that the system goes into a much more usable and responsivness when using it constantly, cliking windows, playing media files , accessing the hd etc | 06:02 |
| sivang | mdz : suggest to me that when I leave it to idle, | 06:03 |
| sivang | mdz : it enters power/cycle saving mode that it has trouble getting out of | 06:03 |
| mdz | sivang: I agree, it sounds like it is overheating | 06:03 |
| mdz | sivang: is the CPU fan coming on at all? | 06:04 |
| sivang | mdz : now I could nicely invesitage it using the media files playing thing, I first tried to play it off after just firing up the mahicne - no go | 06:04 |
| sivang | mdz : I tinkered with it a bit, | 06:04 |
| sivang | mdz : casued to do disk access and some massive gnome works, and it suddenly worked | 06:04 |
| lamont | robtaylor: yeah - I pruned the knoppix tree down to just wjat' | 06:05 |
| lamont | s used, but the morphix one is still full. | 06:05 |
| sivang | mdz : the cpu comes relatively long after the system starts. | 06:05 |
| sivang | mdz : the fan | 06:05 |
| sivang | mdz : could you supply me with a kernel that doesn't do powersaving/cycle down/ fan control at all? I want to machine to be working at it's full speed all time to test | 06:06 |
| mdz | sivang: is there anything in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone ? | 06:06 |
| sivang | mdz : btw, even when it starts the fan never goes to it's fullest rpm like on XP | 06:07 |
| mdz | sivang: try booting with acpi=off | 06:07 |
| jdub | sivang: have you booted that machine with acpi=force or acpi=off? | 06:07 |
| elmo | GAR | 06:07 |
| sivang | jdub : never tried acpi=force | 06:07 |
| mdz | sivang: don't, use acpi=off | 06:07 |
| sivang | jdub : all the others, I did | 06:07 |
| elmo | jdub: you know you uploaded the "Hoary Hedgehog" lsb-release to warty, right? | 06:07 |
| thom | elmo: did you just wake up? | 06:07 |
| jdub | pipka's toshiba runs horribly slowly on the ubuntu kernel | 06:07 |
| mdz | sivang: check /proc/acpi/thermal_zone please | 06:07 |
| jdub | elmo: one, yes, it was a mistkae - did it hit the archive? | 06:07 |
| elmo | yes | 06:08 |
| jdub | if she runs it with acpi=force, then it's fine | 06:08 |
| jdub | elmo: cock | 06:08 |
| jdub | elmo: i thought uploads were restricted anyway? | 06:08 |
| elmo | they go to warty-updates | 06:08 |
| elmo | but it's still in warty-updates now | 06:08 |
| jdub | they don't require manual auth? | 06:08 |
| mjg59 | sivang: acpi=off disables the kernel's control of all power saving except CPU frequency scaling | 06:08 |
| mdz | jdub: acpi=force can help sometimes if ACPI is being disabled by default; in sivang's case it is enabled properly | 06:08 |
| elmo | jdub: no, I was told manual auth wouldn't be necessary :P | 06:09 |
| mjg59 | Stopping the powernowd service will disable the latter | 06:09 |
| mdz | elmo: can we make it so that things uploaded to 'warty' are rejected, and warty-updates must be uploaded explicitly to warty-updates? | 06:09 |
| sivang | mdz : I have THM under /proc/acpi/thermal_zone | 06:09 |
| elmo | yeah, probably, I'll look at doing that | 06:09 |
| elmo | thom: pretty much, I woke up (again) a couple of hours ago | 06:10 |
| thom | elmo: ouch | 06:12 |
| pitti | mdz: sorry, phone. There's no new upstream version and I did not find a public CVS for libgd | 06:12 |
| sivang | mjg59 : I want to disable cpu freq scaling also | 06:13 |
| sivang | mdz : polling_freq = disabled | 06:14 |
| sivang | mdz : state = ok | 06:14 |
| sivang | mdz : temp = 52C | 06:14 |
| sivang | mdz : critical(S5) = 94C | 06:14 |
| mjg59 | sivang: Stop powernowd | 06:14 |
| sivang | mjg59 : it's doing cpu freq scaling? | 06:14 |
| sivang | mjg59 : what about cpu scaling accoridng to battery charge? | 06:15 |
| mjg59 | There isn't any | 06:15 |
| sivang | mjg59 : ok, I hope this is not the case of buggy hardware.. | 06:16 |
| sivang | mdz,jdub : I will try acpi=force | 06:16 |
| mjg59 | sivang: No, acpi=force will do nothing | 06:16 |
| mjg59 | All that does is force acpi to be enabled. It already is enabled for you. | 06:16 |
| mdz | pitti: I will see what I can find | 06:17 |
| mdz | sivang: I already explained the same thing that mjg59 said | 06:17 |

| sivang | Kamion : you work with Joey Hess right? :) | 06:36 |
| Kamion | in some projects, yes | 06:37 |
| sivang | mdz,jdub : acpi=off halts the boot process on detecting IDE drives. | 06:38 |
| elmo | mdz: done ('warty' uploads being rejected) | 06:40 |
| sivang | Kamion : he also working on D-I right? | 06:42 |
| sivang | mdz : acpi=force yeilds the same prformance resluts, I recall something with epic=somethign you told me | 06:42 |
| sivang | mjg59 : I apt-get removed powernod, however on startup I still get a message that thermal and fact control modules are loaded. | 06:43 |
| mjg59 | sivang: Yes. Pass acpi=off | 06:43 |
| sivang | mjg59 : acpi=off just hangs the machine when it detects IDE drives, thuse render it unbootable. | 06:44 |
| mjg59 | sivang: For the last time, acpi=force will do precisely nothing on your computer. Ever. | 06:44 |
| mjg59 | sivang: Right. That's an entirely separate problem | 06:44 |
| sivang | mjg59 : ok. | 06:44 |
| sivang | mjg59 : maybe disable acpi on bios? | 06:44 |
| mjg59 | If the BIOS lets you disable acpi, then yes | 06:44 |
| mjg59 | It's unlikely that it will | 06:45 |
| mjg59 | If you're using acpi, you must load the thermal and fan modules | 06:45 |
| mjg59 | Otherwise your computer will potentially be damaged | 06:45 |
| sivang | mjg59 : what happens if I dont? Can't I not use if my system hangs the kernel due to it? | 06:45 |
| mjg59 | If your machine hangs when you try to boot without acpi, you must use acpi | 06:46 |
| mjg59 | If you use acpi, you must load the thermal and fan modules or your computer will be physically damaged | 06:46 |
| sivang | mjg59 : ok then. | 06:46 |

| mdz | Kamion: what would be a good unique string to search for to detect debbugs bug closures by searching bugzilla comments? | 08:05 |
| lamont | gnome-session also fails miserably in tracking applications that open multiple windows, it appears... Each window gets a new invocation of the program upon logging out (save changes) and back in. | 08:05 |
| lamont | Keybuk: because .xsession also doesn't block | 08:05 |

| mdz | Kamion: want_headers = ('message-id', 'date', 'from', 'to', 'cc', 'subject') | 08:07 |
| Kamion | mdz: if you can get the Received: headers again, you could take the very first one and search for /\(at [^)] *-(?:done|close)\)/ in it | 08:08 |
| pitti | mdz: well, if you have physical access to a computer, all security bets are off anyway, not? | 08:08 |

| Kamion | like http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-chroot ? | 08:23 |
| Kamion | or like http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/warty/main/installer-i386/release/doc/manual/en/apcs03.html (note, you can use the Ubuntu system built thereby without considering it an "installation" if you want)? | 08:23 |

| jdub | mdz: happy for me to make the gamin/polypaudio seed changes for hoary now? | 08:28 |
| mdz | jdub: yes | 08:29 |
| mdz | jdub: should we upload a new ubuntu-desktop to propagate them? | 08:29 |
| jdub | not jsut yet ;) | 08:29 |
| mdz | hmm, that shouldn't be a question. the seeds and ubuntu-desktop should match | 08:29 |
| mdz | if they're not ready to be pushed out to hoary users, they shouldn't go in the seed yet | 08:29 |

| Kamion | elmo: do you need to run germinate for warty any more? | 08:31 |
| Keybuk | lamont: yup, start taking them, fixing them and uploading | 08:31 |
| Kamion | maybe I should tag the last warty revision or something | 08:31 |
| mdz | lamont: yes, but I saw nothing in the bug report which stated whether it affected that version or not, which is why I gave it to you | 08:31 |
| lamont | Keybuk: are there bugs filed, or how are we synchronizing things? | 08:31 |
| Keybuk | lamont: ask mdz | 08:31 |
| mdz | Keybuk: how many source packages?L | 08:31 |
| Keybuk | 250-odd | 08:31 |
| elmo | Kamion: not particularly - I'm only running it on hoary atm | 08:32 |
| lamont | mdz: yeah. -2ubuntu1 is installed in hoary on all 3. Probably need to see if it's on keybuk's sync list. | 08:32 |
| Keybuk | most of them are fairly trivial and just have one or two drops that should be obvious to fix | 08:32 |
| lamont | mdz: I'll take care of either requesting the sync back to debian, or what not. | 08:32 |
| mdz | Keybuk: http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/merge/review/ ? | 08:32 |
| Keybuk | yeah | 08:33 |
| Keybuk | there's a README one level up saying what the files mean | 08:33 |

| Kamion | elmo: ok ... well, colin.watson@canonical.com--2004/germinate--tags--4.10 is the warty version if you need it | 08:33 |
| === lamont will definitely want postfix... Need to merge a bunch of the warty fixes _into_ debian still :-( | ||
| Kamion | Keybuk: wouldn't ddetect have been better merged starting from 1.03? | 08:36 |
| Kamion | rather than 1.00? | 08:36 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: we probably never had 1.03 in our archive | 08:39 |
| Kamion | ah, I see | 08:40 |
| Keybuk | it doesn't actually seem to make much difference ;o) | 08:40 |
| Kamion | snapshot.debian.net maybe | 08:40 |
| Kamion | well, it means .po files have to be merged | 08:40 |
| Keybuk | evolution it did both sides from 1.4 to 2.0 | 08:40 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: it merges po files from latest debian, so that generally works | 08:40 |
| Kamion | it produced lots of unnecessary .po patches | 08:40 |
| Kamion | look at them :) | 08:40 |
| Keybuk | shouldn't make a difference ? | 08:40 |
| Kamion | no, but it's more merge work for later | 08:40 |
| Keybuk | was the warty side 1.00 or 1.03 ? | 08:40 |
| Kamion | 1.03ubuntu14 I think | 08:41 |
| Kamion | I'm merging it now anyway, just a suggestion for the next merge run :) | 08:41 |
| Keybuk | ok, then it would've applied the debian changes to that, ignoring any that already were there | 08:41 |
| Keybuk | ah, but yeah | 08:41 |
| Keybuk | if there were .po changes from 1.00 to 1.03, then it would do merging of those | 08:42 |
| Keybuk | but that's because it can't understand "already there" like it does with ordinary changes | 08:42 |

| mdz | justdave: emailed you a list of components which need to be present in order for me to mass-file these merge bugs | 09:00 |
| bluefoxicy | bah my post to the ML got ignored | 09:01 |
| justdave | ok. | 09:02 |
| elmo | mdz: err, will your script error out if I give it a non-existent component? | 09:02 |
| mdz | elmo: yes | 09:03 |
| mdz | er | 09:03 |
| mdz | elmo: which script? | 09:03 |
| justdave | mdz: I have a script that takes a text file with one component per line and checks the entire thing against the component list and creates any component from the list that's missing. | 09:03 |
| mdz | justdave: ok, that's what I sent you | 09:03 |
| elmo | mdz: the bugzilla.py thing from debzilla | 09:03 |
| mdz | elmo: yes | 09:03 |
| elmo | duh, that sucks | 09:03 |
| justdave | If we can come up with a standard place to get that text file from we could cron the script | 09:03 |
| mdz | elmo: doing anything else requires uber privilege | 09:03 |
| lamont | germinate output comes to mind... | 09:04 |
| mdz | elmo: well, I suppose it could fall back to UNKNOWN, but that's pretty crap too | 09:04 |
| mdz | the right thing is to just have the components exist | 09:04 |
| justdave | yeah, I've used germinate for that in the past. | 09:04 |
| mdz | justdave: the way to generate that text file is to grab Sources.gz from the archive and, do: zcat Sources.gz | grep-dctrl -nsPackage '' | 09:04 |
| mdz | elmo: you should be happy it detects that bugzilla blew up in that case; that was SO non-trivial | 09:05 |
| mdz | justdave: grep-dctrl is in the package of the same name | 09:05 |
| elmo | mdz: yeah, I wasn't saying your script was crap, just that it was a PITA, but if you guys are going to cron the component generation, that's fine | 09:06 |
| mdz | cron is probably fairly reasonable | 09:06 |
| mdz | it should do binaries as well | 09:06 |
| mdz | but that's somewhat more of a pain due to having to iterate over known architectures | 09:06 |
| elmo | and fricking bugzilla needs to stop overloading the word 'component'. debian was here first damn it :-P | 09:07 |

| jdub | mdz: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-October/msg01484.html | 11:31 |
| jdub | heh | 11:31 |
| jdub | I downloaded the code and took a look. I think its actually worse than | 11:31 |
| jdub | esd as an implementation. As a protocol well that may be a different | 11:31 |
| jdub | matter. | 11:31 |
| mdz | "No rate adaption"??// | 11:33 |
| mdz | wtf is the point of this thing, then? | 11:33 |
| jdub | conversation continues on d-d-l | 11:34 |
| elmo | mdz: done | 11:34 |
| mdz | thanks | 11:34 |
| doko | what is the procedure for packages to be merged, if they should be synced from unstable again? | 11:36 |
| doko | just email the usual suspects? ;) | 11:37 |
| elmo | doko: ask me | 11:37 |
| elmo | no, just me, no approval needed - and you can do it via IRC, if I'm around | 11:37 |
| doko | ok | 11:37 |
| elmo | hmm, why does a warty chroot come without shadow by default.. | 11:38 |
| jdub | mdz: i don't get the rate adaption thing; polypaudio uses libsamplerate | 11:41 |
| elmo | doko: okay, hoary chroot exists on yellow now | 11:48 |
| jdub | dudes | 11:49 |
| jdub | floppies | 11:49 |
| jdub | is the only sane way of doing on-demand mounting of floppies... automount? | 11:49 |
| === Mithrandir [~tfheen@vawad.err.no] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| doko | elmo: thanks! | 11:52 |
| mdz | seb128: g-v-m quit unexpectedly during an upgrade just now; is that normal? | 11:54 |
| mdz | jdub: there is no sane way of doing on-demand mounting of floppies | 11:54 |
| mdz | floppies are so 1980 | 11:54 |
| seb128 | mdz: hal has been updated ? | 11:55 |
| jdub | mdz: would you be 100% opposed to automount running for floppies only? | 11:57 |
| seb128 | elmo: screem and libxklavier synchros please | 11:58 |
| mdz | seb128: hal seems to be ahead of Debiain | 11:58 |
| mdz | Debian | 11:58 |
| sjoerd | mdz: check experimental :) | 11:59 |
| seb128 | mdz: yeah, but did hal get upgraded when g-v-m crashed ? | 12:00 |
| doko | hmm, can we have latex2html and graphviz in restricted? the former to build the python docs, the latter to build the libstdc++ docs | 12:00 |
