| jdub | "Well, my goodness! It seems as if we're in for an upset. Despite previous polls, it appears that the Ubuntu Nude Man has sneaked ahead of Voting Machines in the final count. It seems that, in the evilness stakes this month, moral values beat the invasion of a self-electing junta of semi-sentient tabulating machines.

| mjg59 | I'm close to wanting more extensive testing of PM stuff | 12:17 |
| mjg59 | Looks like we should be able to manage support for a decent range of Thinkpads, Dells, Toshibas and Sonys | 12:17 |
| jdub | is there a "file stored *in* the initrd" solution for loading DSDT foo? | 12:18 |
| mjg59 | No | 12:19 |
| mjg59 | It's too late by the time the filesystem code is running | 12:19 |
| jdub | boh, seriously? yeesh | 12:19 |
| mjg59 | You need a sane ACPI table before you do any PCI setup | 12:19 |
| jdub | bong | 12:19 |
| jdub | so tacking it onto the end of the initrd is the only "sane" solution | 12:20 |
| jdub | what about another file pointed to by grub? | 12:20 |
| jdub | kernel=blah, initrd=blah, dsdt=blah ;) | 12:20 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, extending grub so it loaded the dsdt and passed the address to the kernel would work | 12:21 |
| mjg59 | But you'd need to extend the linux boot protocol | 12:21 |
| mjg59 | That's the way FreeBSD does it, BTW | 12:21 |
| jdub | ahar | 12:22 |
| jdub | that'd be handy | 12:23 |
| jdub | i'm going to cry rebuilding my kernel all the time | 12:23 |
| mjg59 | The dsdt-in-initrd thing is easy enough | 12:23 |
| mjg59 | Just add a hook to mkinitrd | 12:23 |
| mjg59 | The infrastructure is there already. When you install a deb, it builds a new initrd on the fly. | 12:24 |
| jdub | yeah | 12:24 |
| jdub | but didn't you just say you couldn't do that? :) | 12:24 |
| mjg59 | Uh | 12:24 |
| mjg59 | On the end of the initrd, rather | 12:24 |
| jdub | oh right, yeah | 12:25 |
| jdub | but we didn't accept that patch | 12:25 |

| Kamion | hi lamont | 12:28 |
| lamont_r | evening Kamion | 12:28 |
| jdub | morning | 12:28 |
| mjg59 | jdub: It's the least invasive way of doing it. Upstream won't take it because the acpi guys want people to fix their BIOSes instead. | 12:28 |
| mjg59 | But, unsurprisingly, that's unlikely to happen much... | 12:28 |
| lamont_r | mjg59: first step in getting them to fix their bios is to obtain > 10% market share | 12:29 |
| Kamion | we're working on that one .. | 12:29 |
| mjg59 | lamont_r: Yeah | 12:29 |
| lupus_ | has gnome decent dualview and tv-out support (I mean you can turn them on and put a window on them) | 12:29 |
| jdub | lupus_: X does :) | 12:29 |
| mjg59 | lupus_: Uh, ish | 12:29 |
| mjg59 | It's X that's responsible for that, and Gnome can then display stuff on it | 12:29 |
| mjg59 | But it's not easy to switch it on or off on the fly at the moment | 12:30 |
| jdub | mjg59: do you think it's a relatively sane solution? | 12:30 |
| mjg59 | Oh, argh | 12:30 |
| mjg59 | Does Hoary have the fontconfig version that fucks up if you switch on sub-pixel anti-aliasing? | 12:30 |
| mjg59 | jdub: Of the solutions, I think it's the sanest | 12:31 |
| mjg59 | It doesn't break anything unrelated | 12:31 |
| jdub | there have been quite a few comments about font bongery | 12:32 |

| Kamion | ah, I appear to be missing a build-dep on libxkbfile-dev | 12:44 |
| lupus_ | why is network-manager not yet in hoary? | 12:45 |
| lupus_ | ic that it is in a seperate repository | 12:45 |
| mjg59 | lupus_: Because it doesn't work | 12:46 |
| lupus_ | hehe I wonder how long it will take for me to break my system :) | 12:47 |
| mjg59 | netapplet works better at the moment, but is less cool in the long run | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | Right. I need to add a couple more patches to the kernel, make it depend on initrd-tools, update acpi-support and then we're set | 12:49 |
| lupus_ | btw when I switched to gamin | 12:55 |
| lupus_ | fam package is still installed and running famd | 12:55 |
| lupus_ | shouldn't the gamin package say it can't be installed together with fam | 12:55 |
| lupus_ | or does running both give no problems | 12:56 |
| tseng | they dont exactly conflict | 12:57 |
| tseng | what should happen is something needs to depend on gamin to pull it in on dist-upgrade | 12:57 |
| tseng | because gnome gets all wacky when you switch from libfam to libgamin and gamin isnt around | 12:57 |
| tseng | nautilus + g-panel try to connect | 12:58 |
| tseng | fam will just be dropped from the meta packages and go away on new installs i presume | 12:58 |
| lupus_ | k | 12:59 |
| jdub | mmm, ubuntu-desktop will depend on gamin | 12:59 |
| tseng | sounds like a plan | 12:59 |
| jdub | though fam will still be there | 12:59 |
| tseng | mm? | 12:59 |
| jdub | unless i make the libgamin libs conflict with fam | 12:59 |
| jdub | or something like that | 01:00 |
| lupus_ | uhu | 01:00 |
| jdub | which is roughly scary | 01:00 |
| jdub | Kamion: ping | 01:00 |
| tseng | libgamin conflicts with libfam | 01:00 |
| === Keybuk takes jdub's crack away | ||
| Keybuk | "Conflicts" is not to be used for "I think this package smells" :) | 01:00 |
| jdub | Keybuk: thought so :) | 01:00 |
| tseng | the packages do, at least. i assume its for good reason | 01:00 |
| lupus_ | libfam is uninstalled | 01:00 |
| lupus_ | but fam isn't | 01:00 |
| jdub | lupus_: yes | 01:00 |
| lupus_ | when you install gamin | 01:00 |
| jdub | tseng: yes, those ones do because they conflict at the file level with each other | 01:01 |
| jdub | Keybuk: *however* | 01:01 |
| Keybuk | assuming people used aptitude or synaptic, fam will be automatically removed when ubuntu-desktop no longer depends on it | 01:01 |
| lupus_ | but when people upgrade to hoary from debian or warty how do you make it uninstall fam then? | 01:01 |
| jdub | Keybuk: if libgamin replaces libfam, and fam doesn't work with libgamin, then surely a conflicts would be relatively sane? :) | 01:01 |
| jdub | lupus_: thus far, we don't | 01:01 |
| Keybuk | lupus_: it'll happen automatically because it was installed as a dependency of ubuntu-desktop, and nothing depends on it anymore | 01:02 |
| tseng | libgamin + fam doesnt seem to work here | 01:02 |
| jdub | if you're using aptitude | 01:02 |
| Keybuk | jdub: synaptic does it too, fwir | 01:02 |
| tseng | nautilus hangs waiting to connect, then fails and proceeds to act flakey | 01:02 |
| tseng | i imagine thats readily reproducable | 01:02 |
| jdub | Keybuk: so it's not a file conflict, it's a compatibility conflict | 01:03 |
| Keybuk | jdub: no, Conflicts actually require the complete and utter removal (including postrm) of the package before the conflicting is installed | 01:03 |
| Keybuk | when combined with meta-packages, it creates a small dependency hell | 01:03 |
| jdub | so can we make libgamin 'not like' fam in some way? | 01:04 |
| Keybuk | that'd probably result in some intelligent behaviour such as the removal of ubuntu-desktop and anything else depending on fam before the new packages could even be unpacked | 01:04 |
| mdz | Keybuk: the aptitude magic won't happen, because it was installed as a task | 01:05 |
| mdz | not as a dependency | 01:05 |
| Keybuk | mdz: I thought we installed the meta-package now, and not the task? | 01:05 |
| mdz | Keybuk: nope | 01:05 |
| Keybuk | oh, boo, hiss, etc. | 01:05 |
| mdz | the metapackage happened way too late in the release cycle for that | 01:05 |
| Kamion | jdub: yes? | 01:06 |
| jdub | Kamion: n/m | 01:06 |
| Kamion | ok | 01:07 |
| Kamion | bleh, that libxklavier change wasn't as simple as I thought | 01:07 |
| jdub | Kamion: just attempting to tackle the libgamin vs. fam issue :) | 01:07 |
| Kamion | turns out (a) X.Org build-dep changes and (b) source-level changes for libxklavier are required | 01:07 |
| amu | FYI, the xorg packages works fine on a sid ( ppc ) | 01:07 |
| Keybuk | jdub: this is what "upgrade notes" are for :) | 01:07 |
| === Kamion hopes seb128 won't hurt him | ||
| Kamion | Keybuk: we so need Breaks | 01:08 |
| jdub | it won't actually cause any problems | 01:08 |
| Keybuk | we do ineed | 01:08 |
| jdub | but fam and portmap are there needlessly | 01:08 |
| Keybuk | doogie's reading -dpkg ... maybe he'll contribute some code :p | 01:08 |
| Kamion | you wish | 01:08 |
| Keybuk | :o) | 01:08 |
| Kamion | just a shame that implementing Breaks would lightly touch nearly all of dpkg | 01:09 |
| jdub | Breaks? | 01:11 |
| Keybuk | jdub: a gentler version of conflicts | 01:11 |
| jdub | ah, which is what i'd want | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | The basic idea is that, roughly, Breaks is to Conflicts as Depends is to | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | Pre-Depends. Conflicts requires that the conflicted-against package | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | isn't even unpacked when the conflictor is unpacked, while Breaks allows | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | the two packages to coexist on the system but (with --auto-deconfigure) | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | deconfigures one of them. Breaks would be appropriate in cases where | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | Conflicts: foo (<< some-version) is currently used to indicate that foo | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | needs to be upgraded to some-version or newer in order to work with the | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | conflictor. | 01:12 |

| mjg59 | I've managed to fuck my machine royally while looking at this, so I'm going to reboot now in order to test it :) | 02:38 |
| mjg59 | It adds scripts, but doesn't add events for all of them | 02:38 |
| mdz | lupus_: there was a proposed goal for Hoary to integrate SMART; see /topic | 02:38 |

| lupus_ | can someone verify | 03:10 |
| lupus_ | with latest xorg | 03:10 |
| lupus_ | ctrl+alt+backspace will stop X | 03:10 |

| Kamion | that's up to your display manager | 03:11 |
| lupus_ | can someone test this | 03:11 |
| Kamion | if you kill X forcibly too many times, it may get bored and give up restarting it | 03:11 |
| Kamion | I've been using ctrl-alt-backspace lots just now with Xorg, it works as normal with gdm | 03:11 |
| lupus_ | I only did once after reboor | 03:11 |
| lupus_ | hmm | 03:11 |

| mjg59 | Ah | 04:24 |
| mjg59 | Ok | 04:24 |
| mjg59 | You need to do this: | 04:24 |
| mjg59 | Add | 04:24 |
| mjg59 | option VBERestore true | 04:24 |
| mjg59 | (but with normal quotes) | 04:24 |
| mjg59 | to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or whatever) | 04:24 |
| mjg59 | In the device section | 04:24 |

| jdub | i have a suspend function button | 04:37 |
| jdub | yeah | 04:37 |
| jdub | i'll see if that works | 04:37 |
| jdub | those keys are affected by the dsdt foo | 04:37 |

| mjg59 | pasc: Post-Sarge, I'll be looking at getting all this infrastructure into Debain | 04:52 |
| mjg59 | The problem is that it requires coordinating the kernel, initrdtools and the acpi userland tools | 04:52 |

| mjg59 | It's possible it needs to do the same for sound drivers, but that's going to be far, far messier | 04:53 |
| jdub | oh, usb stuff seems to be unrelated | 04:54 |
| pasc | my main problems on my toshiba was the usb stuff | 04:54 |
| mjg59 | Probably easier to fix all the sound drivers... | 04:54 |

| mjg59 | pasc: 2.6.9 is much better for usb | 04:54 |
| pasc | cool | 04:54 |
| jdub | no problems with sound | 04:54 |
| pasc | sounds like I need to upgrade then | 04:54 |

| mjg59 | jdub: Heh. Except there almost certainly would be if you were playing any when you suspended. | 04:54 |
| jdub | ooh, that sounds like fun | 04:54 |
| pasc | mjg59: you can start working on my next problem with suspend too | 04:55 |

| mjg59 | jdub: Yeah. Don't Do That (at the moment, anyway) | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | We need to get in touch with the ALSA people | 04:56 |
| jdub | mpg123 is now in D state :) | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | jdub: Other thing that you can do is hack the /etc/acpi/events/lidswitch script to suspend on lid closure | 04:56 |
| jdub | very tempting | 04:57 |
| jdub | did you hear my surprise at unexpected functionality once i got acpi going? | 04:57 |
| mjg59 | In the long run, we'll have support for checking whether there's an external monitor plugged in | 04:57 |
| mjg59 | And if so, not lock the screen when you close it | 04:57 |

| tseng | oh suspend, not lidclose lock | 04:58 |
| jdub | i wonder if xorg will have support for i855 external vga crap | 04:59 |
| mjg59 | jdub: Under what circumstances? | 04:59 |
| mjg59 | jdub: xorg has support for non-mirrored output | 04:59 |
| mjg59 | So you can have separate content on both | 04:59 |
| jdub | mjg59: when hitting the suspend button, the top line on the console flickers (rows of pixels on and off), and stays that way after wakeup | 05:00 |
| jdub | ahar | 05:00 |
| jdub | mjg59: so does this kernel have wacky swsusp stuff in it? | 05:00 |
| tseng | i wonder if doing the non-mirrored output i could get a higher res on the CRT | 05:01 |
| mjg59 | jdub: Just the console, or in X as well? | 05:01 |
| mjg59 | jdub: It has swsusp stuff in it, yes | 05:01 |

| fabbione | morning guys | 06:27 |
| lamont_r | evening fabbione | 06:27 |
| lamont_r | I have a question for you fabbione | 06:27 |
| lamont_r | sometime after X is blanked (lidbutton.sh), it won't come back... how do I whack it enough to wake it up? | 06:28 |
| fabbione | lamont_r: is that on a laoptop? | 06:29 |
| lamont_r | yes | 06:29 |
| fabbione | i am not sure what lidbutton.sh does... | 06:29 |
| fabbione | is that x.org or xfree86? | 06:29 |
| lamont_r | xf86 - stock warty | 06:29 |
| lamont_r | it does this: | 06:30 |
| lamont_r | su $user -c "(xscreensaver-command -throttle && xscreensaver-command -lock)" | 06:30 |
| lamont_r | xset dpms force off | 06:30 |
| lamont_r | and if I wake it up soon enough, then all is happy. if not, then it's not so happy. | 06:31 |
| fabbione | does the laptop die completely? or only X= | 06:31 |
| fabbione | ? | 06:31 |
| lamont_r | only X. | 06:31 |
| lamont_r | black screen. | 06:31 |
| lamont_r | other vt's are happy | 06:31 |
| fabbione | hmmmm | 06:31 |
| fabbione | it would be nice to | 06:31 |
| fabbione | strace it | 06:31 |
| fabbione | and see what is going on... | 06:31 |
| lamont_r | I tried 'xset dpms force on' and a few other things... eventually X died. | 06:32 |
| fabbione | or gdb the -dbg version | 06:32 |
| lamont_r | and restarted --> all well. | 06:32 |
| lamont_r | likewise, ctl-alt-backspace is a known "fix" :-( | 06:32 |
| fabbione | hell no | 06:32 |
| fabbione | but there is a lot of code that i don't know in X | 06:32 |
| fabbione | it's simply too big | 06:32 |
| lamont_r | yeah, way big. | 06:32 |
| lamont_r | I figure I'll worry more after I switch over to xorg. | 06:33 |
| fabbione | ehe | 06:38 |
| fabbione | hmm | 06:53 |
| fabbione | i really really don't like this phase one on sparc | 06:54 |
| fabbione | lamont_r: i keep getting tons of failure on the gcc test suite | 06:54 |
| fabbione | but i don't understand why | 06:54 |
| fabbione | the chroot is a fresh sid | 06:54 |
| fabbione | (phase one) | 06:54 |
| fabbione | so there is really no difference on what is building | 06:54 |
| fabbione | and gcc has been imported from sid | 06:55 |
| lamont_r | fabbione: yeah - saw interesting failures on other architectures as well. | 06:57 |
| lamont_r | are you trying to build warty or hoary? | 06:57 |
| fabbione | hoary | 06:57 |
| fabbione | so it's basically recompiling gcc from sid in a sid chroot right now | 06:57 |
| lamont_r | which should work. | 06:57 |
| fabbione | exactly | 06:57 |
| lamont_r | or bug doko, would be my activity.. :-) | 06:57 |
| fabbione | i think i know what it is | 06:59 |
| fabbione | i am afraid it is still trying to build 64bit binaries | 06:59 |
| fabbione | and i need to change the call to dpkg-buildpackage | 06:59 |

| fabbione | it has to be into main! | 07:28 |
| lamont_r | fabbione: that's an elmo overrides thing, I expect. | 07:41 |
| lamont_r | trivial fix, just requires a whack. | 07:41 |
| fabbione | i know | 07:41 |
| fabbione | but all xfree86 -> xorg upgrades are broken without that piece | 07:41 |
| fabbione | it is required to migrate some config files | 07:41 |

| ik5pvx_ | only gotcha I had, I had to manually install xserver-xorg. Is that intended for this testing phase ? | 08:44 |

| fabbione | if you customize your desktop you are on your own | 08:45 |
| ik5pvx_ | oh, that's it.. I think I removed ubuntu-desktp because it asked to install stuff I don't want. It's all right then. If I can find some time, I'll later try to upgrade the other install I have (the clean install for test purposes). BBL | 08:48 |

| daniels | which version of libXaw is emacs or whatever linked against? | 10:29 |

| rburton | daniels: why does Xproto explicitly define _XOPEN_SOURCE=500? | 10:35 |
| rburton | it's breaking my compiles! | 10:35 |
| rburton | (as with that the BSD and GNU extensions get turned off) | 10:35 |
| rburton | do i really have to add #define _GNU_SOURCE to everything? | 10:35 |
| daniels | no they don't :) you just need -D_BSD_SOURCE and -D_GNU_SOURCE also | 10:35 |
| daniels | um, yeah | 10:35 |
| daniels | hold on a sec | 10:35 |
| rburton | _GNU_SOURCE turns on _BSD_SOURCE | 10:36 |
| daniels | * xproto.pc.in: | 10:36 |
| daniels | Force define of _XOPEN_SOURCE; FD_SET et al depend on fds_bits | 10:36 |
| daniels | presence, which is an X/Open special and thus only guaranteed with | 10:36 |
| daniels | _XOPEN_SOURCE. I'd love to do this in Xpoll.h, but <sys/select.h> has | 10:36 |
| daniels | a habit of being included earlier than Xpoll.h. | 10:36 |
| rburton | waaa | 10:36 |
| daniels | basically, we're shit out of luck if people manage to include <sys/select.h> before Xpoll.h, which happened a hell of a lot, as it were | 10:36 |
| daniels | (if you find a better solution, pleeeeeeeeeeeeease send me a patch because I hate it also) | 10:37 |

| Kamion | let me stick that control-center package I did somewhere so you can tell me how much crack I'm on | 12:09 |
| elmo | doko: experimental only on demand | 12:09 |
| seb128 | Kamion: the libxklavier problems, settings-daemon hanging are fixed in the GNOME head branch | 12:09 |
| daniels | Kamion: no | 12:09 |
| Kamion | where was the hang fix? | 12:09 |
| Kamion | I looked | 12:09 |
| seb128 | Kamion: they just not have made a release for 2.9 ... | 12:09 |
| daniels | Kamion: we'll deal with the very few FTBFSes caused by missing B-Ds on the new packages | 12:10 |
| daniels | Kamion: like a year on, half of Debian still B-Ds on xlibs-dev, and that's crap | 12:10 |
| doko | elmo: please sync python2.4 (beta2) from experimental | 12:10 |
| Kamion | seb128: the problem I had was that libgswitchit was using XklConfig*() without having called XklConfigInit() | 12:11 |
| Kamion | seb128: which results in a very obscure hang (or segfaults, depending) in the middle of libxkbfile | 12:11 |
| daniels | Kamion: sounds a lot like trying to use python-apt, except without all the clarity of instructions | 12:12 |
| Kamion | yep | 12:12 |
| Kamion | seb128: so I stuck XklConfigInit in gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-keyboard-xkb.c right after XklInit | 12:12 |

| daniels | if you want to just assign me the bug for anything that ftbfs and b-ds on xlibs-static-dev (or xlibs-static-pic), i'd be happy to cop that | 12:19 |

| seb128 | my jhbuild used to hang a few days ago | 12:27 |
| seb128 | and it doesn't anymore | 12:27 |
| Kamion | hmm | 12:27 |
| tuo2 | can someone explain to me the difference between sounders and ubuntu-devel mailing lists? | 12:27 |
| seb128 | and I've spoken about this problem with gnomevfs devel a few days ago who pinged me later to said it was fixed or at least workarounded | 12:27 |
| Kamion | fair enough | 12:27 |
| mvo_ | we have quite a few package with section "contrib/section" (e.g. jde and lots of others). do you think that this may confuse users? I got a bug about it (#3369) and I'm unsure what to do about it | 12:27 |
| Kamion | tuo2: sounder == off-topic chat; ubuntu-devel == development | 12:27 |
| Kamion | tuo2: sounder was our beta testers list before we went public | 12:28 |

| fabbione | doko: gcc is failing again | 12:47 |
| Kamion | seb128: ah ... | 12:48 |
| fabbione | doko: do you want me to send you the log file now, or should i wait it will finish ? | 12:48 |
| Kamion | seb128: (I needed to change libxklavier's build-deps too: s/xlibs-static-dev/libxkbfile-dev/) | 12:48 |
| seb128 | Kamion: I'm building your package now, if it works fine I'll upload that for the moment, time to sort that with upstream | 12:48 |
| mjg59 | daniels: New kernel, my evil as fuck video reinit magic | 12:48 |
| seb128 | Kamion: your solution seems to be right | 12:48 |
| Kamion | cool :) | 12:49 |

| daniels | Kamion: wait -- do not upload c-c yet | 12:49 |
| Kamion | daniels: -> seb128 | 12:49 |
| daniels | seb128: libxkbfile1's shlibs are sort of a little bit broken | 12:49 |
| daniels | xorg -1ubuntu2 coming in a bit | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | thom: You should take a look at that acpi-support package | 12:49 |
| seb128 | daniels: how short ? | 12:50 |
| elmo | pitti: done | 12:50 |
| mjg59 | daniels: Is it easy to add xorg.conf options by default on a driver-dependent basis? | 12:50 |
| elmo | doko: for 'main' ? | 12:50 |
| daniels | seb128: dunno, probably about 3h by the time I eat lunch and upload it and the buildds get it | 12:50 |
| daniels | mjg59: yes | 12:50 |
| mjg59 | daniels: It seems that we want Option vberestore on for i810 | 12:50 |
| elmo | daniels: btw, that libstdc++5-dev was minor, I hope you have lots of other reasons to upload too :) | 12:50 |
| seb128 | elmo: could you remove trashapplet from hoary ? | 12:50 |
| pitti | elmo: thx | 12:50 |
| mjg59 | Edd isn't able to resume without it | 12:50 |
| seb128 | daniels: ok | 12:50 |
| fabbione | seb128: that the aussie placed the wrong simlinks around | 12:50 |
| elmo | seb128: ? what replaces it ? | 12:50 |
| doko | currently on the phone ... | 12:51 |
| seb128 | elmo: it's a part of gnome-applets now | 12:51 |
| daniels | mjg59: craaaack | 12:51 |
| seb128 | elmo: and it already has the conflicts/provides/replaces for like 1 week | 12:51 |
| daniels | elmo: yes -- fix shlibs and symlinks across the board, add missing libxevie* files, fix libxext-dev vs libx{damage,fixes,composite,evie,dmx}-dev conflicts | 12:51 |
| mjg59 | daniels: All it does is use VBE to save and restore video state, rather than just relying on what the driver thinks is useful | 12:52 |
| elmo | seb128: ok, cool | 12:52 |
| mjg59 | daniels: The manpage claims it's broken in some places, but I haven't been able to find one yet | 12:52 |
| daniels | mjg59: oh cool | 12:52 |
| daniels | mjg59: that sounds sensible, because at last count there were 37 unique i8xx video BIOSes | 12:53 |
| Kamion | seb128: should trashapplet be removed from the desktop seed, then? | 12:53 |
| daniels | for which we have the docs for exactly none | 12:53 |
| seb128 | Kamion: yes | 12:53 |
| elmo | seb128: done | 12:53 |
| seb128 | thanks | 12:53 |
| Kamion | seb128: done | 12:53 |
| daniels | mjg59: so using vbe whereever possible (the entire i8xx mode-setting code is vbe) is eminently sensible | 12:53 |
| seb128 | Kamion: thanks :) | 12:53 |
| elmo | gar. python's strptime() can't parse 'date -R' | 12:54 |
| mjg59 | daniels: This is disabled by default because it causes lockups on some platforms. | 12:54 |
| mjg59 | It doesn't say /what/ platforms, irritatingly | 12:54 |

| mjg59 | But yeah, in principle | 01:08 |
| rburton | oh hang on | 01:10 |
| rburton | it's clocked up still | 01:10 |

| lupus_ | jdub, are there plans to include lm-sensors in hoary? | 01:27 |
| lupus_ | I see smartd is already planned | 01:27 |
| daniels | lm-sensors is very difficult to get right | 01:28 |
| daniels | loading the right module on my machine involves a lot of guesswork, and a solid lockup if you get it wrong | 01:28 |
| lupus_ | Why are drivers for other devices easily found but not for i2c? | 01:30 |
| mjg59 | lupus_: Because there's no standard way of device identification | 01:32 |
| mjg59 | lupus_: Probing the i2c bus can destroy hardware | 01:32 |
| elmo | because they're the backstreet homeless of devices | 01:32 |
| lupus_ | destroy hardware :s | 01:34 |
| lupus_ | joy | 01:34 |
| jdub | lupus_: i think it's already listed on the wiki | 01:34 |
| thom | mjg59: looks good; i've added stopping mysql and dbus to prepare and restarting them in resume and that gets everything working here | 01:35 |
| daniels | thom: why stopping those two? | 01:36 |
| thom | daniels: cos mysql and NetworkManager especially don't allow you to suspend if they're running | 01:37 |
| mjg59 | thom: Rocking | 01:37 |
| jdub | thom: (if we had dependency-based init scripts...) | 01:37 |
| === jdub runs :-) | ||
| mjg59 | thom: Those scripts ought to be fairly generic | 01:37 |
| mjg59 | (No idea if you've taken a look at them or not) | 01:38 |
| thom | mjg59: indeed, been reading through them | 01:38 |
| thom | nice work! | 01:38 |
| mjg59 | So, that leaves us with the lid switch | 01:38 |
| === thom notches yet another one on the mjg59 beer list | ||
| mjg59 | Which has two cases - on power and off power | 01:38 |
| mjg59 | On power, we probably want to just blank the screen (unless the external video is in use, which we /ought/ to be able to tell once the video acpi support goes in) | 01:39 |
| === cenerentola [~cenerento@84.222.38.197] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| daniels | thom: at this rate, he'd better not bring his X40 the next time he sees you, or he'll be edwarded | 01:39 |
| elmo | thom: WTF kind of crack is that - why would mysql care? | 01:39 |
| daniels | thom: NM is cracktastic | 01:39 |
| mjg59 | elmo: It's something to do with signal handling | 01:39 |
| mjg59 | The problem is how we blank the screen | 01:39 |
| mjg59 | The easy solution would be to chvt away from X, do a dpms off and then on open do a dpms on and chvt back to X | 01:40 |
| mjg59 | But: | 01:40 |
| mjg59 | Not all hardware gives us the second lid event | 01:40 |
| thom | oh, lovely | 01:40 |
| thom | so we could end up never turning the screen back on? | 01:40 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 01:40 |
| mjg59 | So, instead we can leave it up to X (since if we use X's dpms code, X will power it back up when someone hits a key) | 01:41 |
| mjg59 | But X doesn't always have working DPMS, especially if you're using the vesa driver | 01:41 |
| daniels | s/ always//; s/, especially.*// | 01:42 |
| mjg59 | daniels: WTF does the vesa driver not have DPMS support? | 01:42 |
| mjg59 | The bright side is that /most/ hardware will blank the screen itself on lid close | 01:42 |
| mjg59 | So the combination of X dpms and just letting the hardware get on with it should be fine | 01:42 |
| daniels | mjg59: i don't know, but I'd rather not find out | 01:42 |
| jdub | argh, bong, no gossip again | 01:42 |
| thom | mjg59: so in the on power case, we probably just want to lock the screen and throttle xscreensaver, and then let the hardware get on with it? | 01:43 |
| jdub | thom: can we send xscreensaver a 'show lock dialogue' or send some mouse/key events to the X server when the lid is opened again? | 01:44 |
| lupus_ | gnome-screenshot is gone in hoary | 01:44 |
| lupus_ | can someone verify this | 01:44 |
| jdub | lupus_: it's in gnome-utils, which hasn't been released yet | 01:44 |
| mjg59 | thom: And do an xset dpms off | 01:44 |
| Kamion | lupus_: see ubuntu-users | 01:44 |
| lupus_ | ah k | 01:44 |
| mjg59 | thom: With luck, that'll get the backlight switched off | 01:45 |
| thom | ok | 01:45 |
| thom | and now the entertaining case, on battery | 01:46 |
| mjg59 | thom: Also need to decide how to hook up the suspend to disk case, but that's a separate issue | 01:47 |
| mjg59 | thom: Ok. The right thing to do is to suspend to RAM if the lid is closed and on battery. | 01:47 |
| mjg59 | Except that some people would prefer this to happen after a few minutes rather than immediately. | 01:47 |
| thom | mjg59: presumably suspend-to-disk would wind up in Computer/Log Out as a menu option | 01:48 |
| mjg59 | thom: Yeah | 01:48 |

| mjg59 | Which probably wants to be dbus based | 01:48 |
| mjg59 | Then we can give them a nice little GUI | 01:48 |
| thom | this is hard until we have dbus based powermanagement | 01:48 |
| jdub | (yay yay yay) | 01:48 |
| thom | aye | 01:48 |
| jdub | elmo: ping | 01:48 |
| thom | that way we get consistent love over ppc/x86/amd64 too | 01:49 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 01:49 |
| elmo | jdub: ? | 01:49 |
| mjg59 | amd64 uses acpi too, so that's easier | 01:49 |
| thom | anyway, until then, i guess we can have a config file so that people who _want_ a timeout can just set one | 01:49 |
| thom | but we default to just suspending instantly? | 01:49 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | So the real question now is how we do stuff by default... | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | We probably ought to add support for S1 as well, since that'll work everywhere | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | Well, except on hardware that doesn't support it, of course | 01:50 |
| mjg59 | But S1 needs dpms calls either side of it, because it won't usually blank the screen otherwise | 01:51 |
| mjg59 | The craptop works fine in S1 | 01:51 |
| thom | (we also need to work out a policy for APM, too. although that _should_ be easier) | 01:52 |
| === cenerentola_ [~cenerento@84.222.38.137] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| thom | hm, just thinking it would be far less of a support hassle to go down the same road, but make it really easy for people to switch to S3 | 01:55 |
| mjg59 | daniels: The X40 doesn't do S1, so this certainly isn't always the case | 01:55 |
| mjg59 | thom: S1 gives... little power saving | 01:55 |

| mjg59 | daniels: Doesn't matter - acpi has to be static | 02:02 |
| daniels | thom: if acpi is lodaed, apm goes 'oh shit i think that's acpi peace for real though' and buggers off | 02:02 |

| mjg59 | That's why we do the extra console-changing dance at the end | 02:05 |
| thom | yeah, i was wondering about that | 02:05 |
| mjg59 | Oh, the dpms program uses vm86, so it won't run on amd64 | 02:07 |
| thom | oh joy | 02:07 |
| mjg59 | video_post has an x86 emulator, so it'll be fine | 02:07 |
| mjg59 | Now that I understand what video_post actually does, it ought to be possible to put the dpms functionality in there | 02:08 |
| cenerentola | thom: you may be right but there's no one able to help in #ubuntu | 02:11 |
| Kamion | that's not a reason to bring support stuff here; if nobody can help on IRC, try the mailing list, or report a bug if that's appropriate | 02:12 |
| thom | mjg59: i'm going to attempt to bend the wiki to my will and write this stuff up | 02:12 |

| thom | fun. | 03:16 |
| daniels | hooray | 03:16 |
| mjg59 | thom: Not sure what the best fix is - IIRC, acpid serialises calls, so naive locking won't work | 03:16 |
| mjg59 | Hurrah. So, I can get the craptop to suspend and switch off its screen. | 03:18 |
| mjg59 | Of course, it has no way of switching the fan off from software. | 03:19 |
| Kosai | mjg59: Ooh. I'm impressed that you've got somewhere with it. | 03:19 |
| mjg59 | Kosai: This is by doing S1 rather than S3 | 03:20 |
| mjg59 | S3 is still fucked | 03:20 |
| Kosai | Ah. | 03:20 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: can you make the merge-o-matic look at openssh/experimental rather than unstable? | 03:20 |
| jdub | mjg59: the fan is necessary for the on-board flame detection feature. | 03:20 |
| zul | i was wondering how you go about fixing those merge-o-matic bugs on the bugzilla | 03:21 |
| mjg59 | Heh. So, it stops the CPU, it switches off the screen and it stops the hard drive | 03:21 |
| mjg59 | But there's no way we can pretend that it's suspending if the fan is still going | 03:21 |
| Kamion | zul: download merge candidate prepared by Scott, compare diffs side by side, make any necessary changes, upload | 03:21 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: I guess ... it'd need a config file somewhere, but it's do-able | 03:21 |
| zul | ok | 03:22 |
| Kamion | zul: occasionally give up on the automerge and do something else entirely | 03:22 |
| zul | hehe | 03:22 |
| Keybuk | basically apply the changes in .dropped by hand, then make sure that _ubuntu.{patch,debdiff} and _merged.{patch,debdiff} are identical, or you can explain anything missing | 03:23 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: can you kindly disable that automatic bug thing sync with debian stuff for xfree86? | 03:25 |
| zul | i dont have upload access so if anything breaks should i attach it to the bug report? | 03:25 |
| Keybuk | fabbione: no, elmo has to do that | 03:26 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: ok | 03:26 |
| Keybuk | I assume it'll stop automatically when we don't have xfree86 in the archive | 03:26 |
| fabbione | elmo: can you please do the above? | 03:26 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: no.. i am going to do another XFree86 upload | 03:26 |
| fabbione | but with time and quiteness | 03:26 |
| Keybuk | oh? are we having both in our archive? | 03:26 |
| fabbione | only to have xserver-xfree86 | 03:27 |
| daniels | we do not have an xfree86 source package for hoary | 03:27 |
| fabbione | daniels: yes we do | 03:27 |
| fabbione | the source is still there | 03:27 |
| fabbione | we uploaded xorg_6.8.1.orig.tar.gz | 03:27 |
| fabbione | that has nothing to do with xfree86_4.3.0 | 03:28 |
| Keybuk | then don't we *want* to continue updating our xfree86 package against Debian? | 03:28 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: no | 03:28 |
| Keybuk | why not? | 03:28 |
| fabbione | it is only for a temporary amount of time | 03:28 |
| daniels | can someone run madison on the archive to verify whether or not we have xfree86 in the archive for hoary? | 03:28 |
| sivang | using hoary : anybody noticed how slow nautilus is? it's taking me about ages to navigate through the directory tree.. | 03:28 |
| Keybuk | fabbione: how temporary? | 03:28 |
| jdub | sivang: have you upgraded adn not installed gamin? | 03:29 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: xserver-xorg is way new for us | 03:29 |
| daniels | sivang: install gamin | 03:29 |
| fabbione | and not that many people have tested it yet | 03:29 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: if something is really broken on xorg server | 03:29 |
| fabbione | the user is still able to install xfree86 (server) easily | 03:30 |
| fabbione | until we don't fix the problem and kill the old server | 03:30 |
| sivang | jdub : strange, it's been downloaded - but wasn't installed using dist-upgrade.. | 03:30 |
| jdub | sivang: do you have ubuntu-desktop installed? | 03:30 |
| fabbione | xorg hasn't been around enough to be able to kill xfree86 from one day to another | 03:30 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: we are talking about a few weeks.. not years | 03:31 |
| sivang | jdub : was also not installed, although downloded. installing now | 03:32 |
| sivang | jdub : got some gtk assertions failing, when installing. from eggdesktopentries.c | 03:33 |
| sivang | but in the end, it's now back to speed :) | 03:33 |
| sivang | thanks jdub | 03:33 |
| seb128 | sivang: these assertions are coming from update-desktop-databasa probably | 03:35 |
| seb128 | sivang: is there an hoary system ? do you have mplayer uptodate from multiverse ? | 03:36 |
| sivang | fabbione : do we get to set up funkey vertrefresh rates using the new xorg? or just use the same crafted modes lines from xfree..? | 03:37 |
| fabbione | sivang: xorg = xfree86+morebugs+morecracks | 03:37 |
| fabbione | i leave up to you the answer to your question :-) | 03:37 |
| sivang | fabbione : great! Starting to feel like sid again...:) | 03:38 |
| daniels | hopefully there's sufficient laptop timing detection code (maybe the stuff from ATI does it) that we can kill horizsync/vertrefresh in the config file altogether | 03:38 |
| daniels | ... but not in the very near future | 03:39 |
| Kamion | zul: hm, merges may be best left to the Ubuntu maintainer it's assigned to, but yeah, pretty much | 03:43 |

| thom | KeyserSoze: we're not going to package stuff that we don't care about, sadly. too much to do anyway | 04:51 |
| pitti | mvo_: no, why I should? | 04:52 |

| pitti | mvo_: if ubuntu changelogs are actually available now? | 04:52 |
| KeyserSoze | thom: thx... just trying to prove a point | 04:52 |
| thom | KeyserSoze: um, what point? | 04:52 |
| KeyserSoze | nothing its ok | 04:52 |
| mvo_ | pitti: yes, for now on people.u.o/~mvo/changelogs | 04:52 |
| pitti | mvo_: nice :-) | 04:52 |
| mvo_ | indeed :) | 04:52 |
| pitti | mvo_: this should revert many patches | 04:53 |
| mvo_ | pitti: yes, I'm building right now :) | 04:53 |
| fabbione | thom: more than we don't care about. is that there are no debs in debian to sync from | 04:53 |
| pitti | mvo_: have fun, I have to go now. CU tomorrow! | 04:53 |
| thom | fabbione: yes, which is why i said "we're not going to package stuff" :-) | 04:54 |
| infinity | No debs of what, exactly? | 04:54 |
| KeyserSoze | no worries I'll roll my own .debs | 04:54 |
| fabbione | infinity: latest enlightment? | 04:54 |
| jdub | fabbione: for hoary, or warty? | 04:54 |
| seb128 | Kamion: ok | 04:54 |
| fabbione | jdub: hoary | 04:54 |
| seb128 | thom: ah ah :p | 04:54 |
| fabbione | jdub: last time i checked *WARTY* was released | 04:54 |
| jdub | fabbione: unless there's ubuntu changes, we ought to be able to sync whenever | 04:55 |
| === thom grins at seb | ||
| jdub | fabbione: check with elmo/lamont if they've already got a sync routine going, though | 04:55 |
| thom | jdub: it's not in unstable yet, that's the point | 04:55 |
| jdub | fabbione: that's why i saked :) | 04:55 |
| fabbione | jdub: ok... | 04:55 |
| jdub | thom: oh | 04:55 |
| jdub | ok, now i don't grok | 04:55 |
| Keybuk | the sync routine is in full speed swing | 04:55 |
| Keybuk | elmo syncs stuff that's changed in unstable and we haven't changed | 04:55 |
| seb128 | I've to go, bbr | 04:55 |
| Keybuk | and punts the list of things that changed in both to mom, which does the merge and files bugs | 04:56 |
| seb128 | Kamion: I've to go now, if you want to do a control-center upload just drop the 23_.. patch and updated the build-dep on libxklavier to 1.11 | 04:56 |
| seb128 | Kamion: I'll do the upload when I come back if you don't do it | 04:56 |
| Kamion | seb128: ok, will do it now then, thanks | 04:56 |
| seb128 | np | 04:57 |
| daniels | can we please blacklist xfree86 from the syncage? :) | 04:57 |
| jdub | thom: so what was the question about...? | 04:57 |
| daniels | Kamion: xorg 6.8.1-1ubuntu2 is in, should be safe to upload | 04:57 |
| daniels | Kamion: just check that anything using libxkbfile.so.1 gets a dep on libxkbfile1 before you upload though | 04:57 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: on, wrt to the experimental thing ... the trouble is that elmo only checks unstable; so as soon as we leap ahead in versions you won't get any further sync suggestions until unstable catches up with experimental | 04:58 |
| thom | jdub: KeyserSoze wanted enlightenment updated to the latest, which isn't in unstable | 04:58 |
| jdub | oh | 04:58 |
| elmo | eventually, I plan to keep better track of where we sync stuff from, then I can keep track of experimental stuff too | 04:59 |
| KeyserSoze | I'm building my own debs | 04:59 |
| KeyserSoze | its cool | 04:59 |
| fabbione | elmo: mind to check if that version of enlightment is in experimental? | 04:59 |
| elmo | fabbione: there's no enlightenment in experimental | 05:00 |
| fabbione | KeyserSoze: this is something that we might need in general later | 05:00 |
| fabbione | KeyserSoze: not just for enligh | 05:00 |
| fabbione | elmo: thanks | 05:00 |

| daniels | elmo: hey, I know martial arts also | 05:07 |
| daniels | elmo: unfortunately I am hopelessly out of shape and my knees won't let me sustain any form of usage whatsoever | 05:07 |

| lamont_r | jdub: yo | 05:09 |
| jdub | hey lamont_r | 05:09 |
| lamont_r | infinity: roving | 05:09 |
| jdub | lamont_r: what's the status of the DC livecd builds? | 05:09 |
| jdub | or should i be asking amu for the details? | 05:09 |
| Kamion | bleh, my new debootstrap is BROKEN | 05:09 |
| lamont_r | jdub: I need to check with amu on that | 05:09 |
| === Kamion discovers an exciting new "feature" of diversions | ||
| lamont_r | jdub: the status is that the last drop I'm currently aware of required that root run it in the real root, or it failed to build a working CD. | 05:10 |
| Kamion | or of debootstrap, I'm not sure which | 05:10 |
| daniels | elmo: that's a great idea! | 05:11 |
| Kamion | if you have a package that adds a diversion and installs a file in the same place, and you put that package in debootstrap's "required" section, then debootstrap will first extract it ignoring diversions, then unpack/configure it normally, which will give you both the file *and* the diverted copy | 05:11 |
| === spazzy [~chamikal@AMontsouris-152-1-4-145.w82-123.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| spazzy | Hi | 05:11 |
| Keybuk | that's just a debootstrap feature | 05:12 |
| Keybuk | it unpacks stuff by just untarring it | 05:12 |
| Kamion | if the copy that gets dropped in in place of the diverted file happens to be a wrapper script that calls the diverted file if it exists, you get an infinite loop | 05:12 |
| spazzy | How can we make request about adding software ? | 05:12 |
| Keybuk | rather than using dpkg, which knows about diversions | 05:12 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: yes, I know about that, but the comment I just made turns it from an expected feature into something really exciting :) | 05:12 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: it's kinda hard to use dpkg when it's not unpacked yet, no? | 05:12 |
| spazzy | because Ubuntu will be great if there was directly a CD, DVD burning application | 05:13 |
| Keybuk | spazzy: nautilus-cd-burner exists | 05:13 |

| daniels | Its kind of like shopping .... you use the shopping list to help you get the food, but when your done putting all the food in your car after paying for it ... you don't need the list anymore. Or do you? Well ... I guess if you want to keep to the default shopping list! LOL' | 05:17 |

| Keybuk | mvo_: it starts off from half way through the development | 07:58 |
| Keybuk | they never imported the CVS history into it, fwict | 07:58 |
| mvo_ | Keybuk: I can talk to the apt-rpm maintainer about it if it's importend | 07:59 |
| amu | Mithrandir: suse is the only one, who think before they do something. It's also a with cloop, but the boot and startprozess much more better than the knoppix isos | 07:59 |
| mdz | Keybuk: gah | 07:59 |
| mdz | Keybuk: so they killed the cvs repository and started svn from scratch, not using cvs2svn or whatever? | 07:59 |
| elmo | aiee. it's so so wrong that modern emacs can do inline images | 08:00 |
| mdz | mvo_: if you could try to get a tarball of the CVS repository, that would be incredibly helpful | 08:00 |
| Keybuk | mdz: *looks* like it | 08:00 |
| mvo_ | mdz: sure, I will ask gustavo. is it to import the stuff into an arch branch? | 08:01 |
| mdz | mvo_: it is to get the change history in order to merge some stuff and bring the forks closer | 08:01 |
| mdz | we need to be able to go all the way back to where they forked from Debian | 08:02 |
| ChrisH | btw, is arch a lot different than svn? | 08:02 |
| mdz | yes | 08:02 |
| mvo_ | mdz: I ask him | 08:02 |
| Keybuk | notably http://cvs.conectiva.com.br/ thinks it's a mailman server now :p | 08:03 |

| Keybuk | oh, arch goes wandering across your filesystem looking for pristine trees :p | 08:05 |
| mdz | this was a tla tag command | 08:05 |
| mdz | did it fail? | 08:05 |
| Keybuk | yup | 08:05 |
| mdz | one never knows with arch | 08:05 |

| Keybuk | 2002.07.23.18.00.00 ... looks like the branch point :p | 08:29 |
| Keybuk | isn't CVS's "give me the base of the branch" feature GREAT | 08:29 |
| Keybuk | because -r1.1 is bad, precious | 08:30 |
| mdz | isn't the "give me the base of the branch" "feature" equivalent to "decode the RCS version number"? :-) | 08:31 |
| Keybuk | not if you want to checkout trunk as it was imported | 08:31 |
| Keybuk | -r1.1 will give you every single file at it's first revision | 08:31 |
| Keybuk | including those added later | 08:31 |
| mdz | ah | 08:31 |
| Keybuk | so you have to grep through the ,v files and find a time which was after the initial import, but before the first change ... then check that out with -D | 08:32 |
| mdz | so which arch changeset does 2002.07.23.18.00.00 correspond to? | 08:32 |
| Keybuk | dunno yet | 08:32 |
| Keybuk | that's the "difficult" bit <g> | 08:32 |
| mdz | if the answer is "none", do we cry? | 08:32 |

| Keybuk | still waiting for rookery to checkout 1,303 revisions | 08:32 |
| mdz | I don't suppose tla has a handy "checkout relative to <this> and use hardlinks where nothing changed" feature | 08:34 |
| mdz | oh, it does have "hardlink to revision library" though | 08:35 |
| Keybuk | I've often wondered whether that takes into account permission changes | 08:37 |
| Keybuk | ie. will it break the hardlink if the permissions change? | 08:37 |
| === Keybuk suspects not | ||

| mdz | Keybuk: you shouldn't need to checkout _all_ 13xx revisions; we know that conectiva branched sometime before 0.5.5 | 08:58 |

| mdz | mvo__: I don't understand why | 09:06 |
| mvo__ | mdz: in what files? | 09:07 |
| mdz | that changeset should only have 0.5.27->0.5.27.1, no? | 09:07 |
| mdz | mvo__: debian/rules | 09:07 |
| mvo__ | could it be the "dh_installcron" I added? | 09:07 |
| mdz | mvo__: why would that be part of patch-3? | 09:07 |
| mdz | patch-3 seems to contain a ton of changes which were not part of 0.5.27->0.5.27-1 | 09:07 |
| mdz | er, .1 | 09:07 |
| mvo__ | ah, ok. | 09:07 |
| mvo__ | it was 0.5.26->0.5.27.1 | 09:08 |
| mvo__ | tla was at 0.5.26 IIRC | 09:08 |
| mdz | hmm, that's odd | 09:09 |
| mdz | lifeless won't be up yet | 09:09 |

| mvo__ | Keybuk: it basicly write a "stamp" file that is checked then | 10:04 |
| Keybuk | you need to be root to run apt-get update ... so how do you elevate ? | 10:04 |
| mvo__ | Keybuk: the cron-job will be part of apt and run as root | 10:05 |
| mvo__ | for the "update now", we will run it with gksudo | 10:05 |
| Keybuk | right ... can we not have an ordinary cron job please? | 10:05 |
| Keybuk | unless it checks on_ac_power | 10:06 |

| mvo__ | Keybuk: that's the current plan | 10:11 |
| mvo__ | I was just asking for opionions for the alternatives :) | 10:11 |
| Keybuk | that way it'll be deferred correctly if laptop users have anacron installed | 10:11 |

| Keybuk | no | 10:12 |
| jdub | do we run anacron on acpi ac plugin events? | 10:12 |
| Keybuk | jdub: anacron isn't in main, cf. ubuntu-devel | 10:12 |
| jdub | yeah | 10:12 |
| Keybuk | mdz has a wishy-washy dislike for it *ducks&runs* :p | 10:12 |

| elmo | so.. I really don't want to give up gkrellm.. is there anyway to integrate this thing somehow? | 10:37 |
| mdz | there are various applets which should fulfill the same basic control freak needs | 10:40 |
| mjg59 | thom: Uh, only running anacron when on battery? | 10:40 |
| elmo | mdz: nah I've tried them on my laptop - they suck | 10:41 |
| elmo | but then the laptop doesn't have the res to justify gkrellm over them | 10:41 |
| thom | um, um. i know what i mean :-) | 10:42 |
| thom | mjg59: ^ | 10:44 |
| daniels | mjg59: by the way, have you ever noticed how insanely, stupidly, slow mode switches are on i810? | 10:46 |
| mjg59 | daniels: Video mode switches? Nope. | 10:46 |
| daniels | mjg59: when I start another Xorg instance (with -novtswitch, mind), changing over to the other VT takes a good seven seconds | 10:47 |
| daniels | mjg59: and about five seconds for subsequent switches | 10:47 |
| daniels | mjg59: that's same res/depth | 10:47 |
| mjg59 | How long from X to console? | 10:47 |
| lamont_r | elmo: gkrellm looks cool.. thanks for mentioning it. | 10:47 |
| daniels | mdz: AH! that was it | 10:47 |
| daniels | mdz: would you be happy with a default dhclient policy of 'don't set a hostname'? | 10:47 |
| daniels | mdz: (or, 'leave the hostname alone') | 10:48 |
| mdz | Keybuk: so is that all that lifeless will need to set up the import? | 10:48 |
| mjg59 | It's damn cold here tonight | 10:48 |
| daniels | mdz: i'm currently unsure whether ?dms will survive a hostname change (the authentication stuff on that side of the world is crack, planning to go test by fire when I get kicked out here in 10min), so that would allow us to start gdm before dhclient fo'sho | 10:48 |
| lamont_r | daniels: ew! | 10:48 |
| daniels | lamont_r: *shrug*, getting hostnames via DHCP in anything other than the initial setup is crack anyway imo | 10:49 |
| lamont_r | daniels: what you need isa 'change my hostname' event for X, eh? | 10:49 |

| daniels | lamont_r: ha ha | 10:49 |
| lamont_r | daniels: true - and really should be trying to give dhcp a hostname | 10:49 |
| daniels | lamont_r: oh man | 10:49 |
| daniels | lamont_r: as in, killall Xorg && Xorg? | 10:49 |
| mdz | daniels: hmm, I didn't even remember that it would do that | 10:49 |
| mdz | daniels: yes, I think it's sane to default to leaving it alone | 10:49 |
| Keybuk | mdz: for apt-progeny, yes ... if he starts it there and imports following all the hundreds of copies they did, it'll go in | 10:50 |
| daniels | mdz: ill, thanks | 10:50 |
| lamont_r | daniels: no, no. without killing - just "fix everything" :) | 10:50 |
| daniels | mdz: i'll give it a going over tonight | 10:50 |
| Keybuk | mdz: apt-rpm will come up shortly, once sed has finished stripping all the $Id...$ from everything :p | 10:50 |
| Keybuk | rookery is my bitch <g> | 10:50 |
| lamont_r | Keybuk: so that's why it's been dog slow lately. | 10:50 |
| daniels | lamont_r: sure, but when I emerge, you can buy me a beer, because I'll be of legal drinking age in the US | 10:50 |
| lamont_r | heh | 10:50 |
| daniels | mdz: -novtswitch is done, btw | 10:50 |
| lamont_r | that's what, 6 years from now? :-) | 10:51 |
| daniels | mdz: oh wait, I already told you | 10:51 |
| daniels | lamont_r: ease up ;) half that | 10:51 |
| lamont_r | lol | 10:51 |
| Kosai | Hm. Any plans for a PPC live CD? | 10:54 |
| thom | we'd love one. thanks ;-) | 10:54 |
| daniels | thom: triple play! | 10:56 |

| mdz | thom: when are you coming through LA, again? do you want to send me a copy of your itinerary? | 11:27 |
| thom | mdz: sure, will ping it you now | 11:28 |
| thom | i think you're out of la for most of the time i'm there, but lets see :-) | 11:29 |
| lifeless | mdz: pong | 11:34 |
| lifeless | ah, apt syncing, let me look into that right now. | 11:34 |
| thom | mdz: biff | 11:34 |
| elmo | thom/mdz: mozilla-firefox-locale-es has been removed in debian - ok to remove it from hoary/main ? | 11:38 |
| thom | elmo: seems reasonable to me | 11:39 |
| mdz | elmo: yeah, update the seed as well | 11:39 |
| elmo | mdz: gar, fascist | 11:40 |
| mdz | elmo: pinko | 11:40 |
| elmo | oh, well, I guess I can repropose all the the stuff I'm still using from universe | 11:42 |

| thom | shoutin' out to the L3 massive! | 11:50 |
| elmo | thom: I'm pretty sure those guys in the cage next to us are entirely convinced I'm insane - esp. when I really did start shouting at and physically abusing that broken green cat5 the other week | 11:51 |
| thom | elmo: yeah, we do get some massively funny looks when they have sun engineers in the house | 11:52 |
