mojo_why icons of OOO still using XPM04:35
mojo_I think we should use PNG from now on04:35
tsenggreat idea, submit a patch04:36
mojo_arhg...04:36
mojo_tseng: for patch, I have no idea out of changing the icons of shortcut manually04:37
mojo_tseng: but I do have all new icons from latest NLD9 to be used04:37
mojo_tseng: I also clean up and arrange all names04:37
tsengif you were following the mailing list04:37
mojo_tseng: I can send it to u04:37
tsengyou would know that the plan is to sync up w/ newer openoffice work from debian, redhat, and novell during the hoary cycle04:38
tsengso keep an eye open for that04:38
mojo_ok04:38
mojo_so who will take care the artwork for Hoary?04:38
tsengi see you offer some good ideas here, but im not sure you are following up by reading the mailing lists, watching bugzilla, etc04:39
mojo_tseng: honestly to say04:39
tsengthe proper way to propose things are to a) read bugs/mls to make sure its not already known/being worked on04:39
mojo_I still don't quite get how to coop with devel here04:39
mojo_can u explain to me?04:39
tsengand then submit your idea in the form of a bug or a mailing list post04:40

lemsx1amu, less traffic here :-) this is the patch: http://lwn.net/Articles/110898/05:38
lemsx1amu, of course, that is already applied in 2.6.905:39
amulemsx1: well, you dont know if the patch, or the problem is fixed in the uptodate kernel, right, thats why i asked you, did you tested the bug against the ubuntu kernel, and probably very interessting who you did it05:44
=== Keybuk [~scott@syndicate.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
amulemsx1: please post your expolit here05:51
lemsx1amu, sorry. i'm not an ubuntu users, just debian (using vanilla kernels)05:56
lemsx1amu, this is a discussion going on now in debian-security mailing list05:56
lemsx1amu, so the threat is real. i have not try to exploit this code (and will not try anyway). I simply upgraded to 2.6.9 05:57
lemsx1amu, are you subscribed to the debian-security ml ? if not, you can simply read the archives of today and yesterday from http://www.debian.org05:58

seb128cool06:20
sivangseb128 : would you have time to test a .deb over your hoary?06:20
seb128where is the problem ?06:20
seb128I prefer to get a patch than a deb if possible :)06:20
sivangseb128 : ah ok, just wanted to test a package on another system then mine06:21
sivangseb128 : so if it works I'll send the patch to bugzilla06:21
amulemsx1: *lol* nope it isnt clear, i'll ask you again for exploit-code, what you do is, without knowlegg to spread disconcertion into the channel. If you use your own kernel, thats your problem, i'm sure your vanilla kernel has the bug, otherwise the bug where'nt published there. If you liked to be serious-taken, then examine it simply whether kernel are open to attack. If not, that is restrained childlike.06:21
seb128ok06:21
sivangseb128 : http://sivan.workaround.org/ubuntu/06:21
lemsx1amu, k amu. i get your point. however, since this kernel bug is so recent i automatically assumed that it wasn't patch in ubuntu's kernel. my appologies for injecting "FUD" into the channel06:22
amulemsx1: hury up, i want take over one of elmos's maschine ;)06:23
lemsx1amu, i'll be sure to keep my paranoia to myself06:23
lemsx1amu, the exploit code should be simple to derive if you get the patch i posted earlier06:23
lemsx1amu, and who's elmo anyway ;-)06:23
ironwolf_elmo is the postfix God.06:38
amulemsx1: I trust our kernelmaintainer. I can't believe he didnt take care about it, if there is something strange.06:38
amuhehe some people say elmo is the monarch of the monarchs ;) 06:39
sivangseb128 : I said it's 'partial' because of the 'title page' problem which still occurs.06:40
ironwolf_I wouldn't go that far.  daniels maybe... not elmo. ;)06:40
seb128sivang: do you have a patch ?06:40
sivangseb128 : yes, just rechecked on my system - updating bugsy as we speak :)06:40
amuironwolf_: i thought lamont is the postfix god ?!? 06:42
ironwolf_amu I thought lamont was ubuntu postfix got, but Elmo was more general postfix god.  I could be wrong.06:43

shayaso does ubuntu's gnome 2.9.1 have any specialized unbutu patches like the 2.8 did?10:01
Keybukit has the same patches10:04

shayadaniels: doex expocity depend on composite, or does it work fine even w/ it disabled?10:04
danielsdepends on composite10:06
danielswell, I haven't look at it, but kind of hard to redirect off-screen drawing otherwise :P10:06
shayaI don't really care about off screen drawing, I just want fancy task switching :(10:08
shayaI would think one just needs xdamage for that10:08
shayaor does xdamage need xcomposite?10:08
danielsnah, it's composite that depends on damage10:08
danielsyou could kinda fake it out without composite10:08
danielsbut it would suck10:08
shayawhy?10:09
danielswell, the implementation would be nasty10:10
shayaskippy already does it w/o either10:10
pittimdz: here?10:14
Keybukdoesn't that just grab the root window and chop it into kibbles?10:14
danielsKeybuk: hence 'nasty'10:14
Keybukyeah, the windows wouldn't change :)10:15

mdzKeybuk: broken down if they are in the diff, otherwise one monolithic patch?10:50
mdzpitti: yes10:50
mdzbut not for long10:50
Keybukyeah, just so we can keep track of what we've patched10:50
mdzthat would be useful10:51
mdzthere are patches that haven't gone upstream yet, and that will help remind us10:51
mdzI need to submit the kernel-package stem patch10:51
shayamdz: any idea when software suspend will be in ubuntu?10:52
pittimdz: just a quick question: Do you agree that it is okay to have people (like Gerardo) fix security holes in Warty's universe?10:52
pittimdz: (after review by me, of course)10:52
mdzshaya: there seem to be some unresolved questions about which implementation, which version, etc. that need answers first10:52
mdzpitti: yes, absolutely10:52
mdzpitti: I saw the traffic on security-review, it's great that he's getting involved10:52
pittimdz: although it's universe, it gets uploaded to warty-security as normal?10:52
shayamdz: is it a feature hoary is going to have, just a q of when, or even that is up in the air?10:53
pittimdz: he said that he likes to fix universe packages too, for training :-)10:53
mdzpitti: yes, should work.  You already did an update for a universe package, right? (apache 1.3)10:53
pittimdz: yes, but it had some components in main10:54
mdzshaya: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HoaryGoals10:54

mdza bunch of autogenerated stuff ends up in the diff11:20
Keybukheh11:20
Keybukof course it's interesting, thom's been near it <g>11:20
mdzI resolved the conflicts, and the resulting package builds and looks good, but fails to install due to weirdness in the update-m-f-chrome script11:21
mdzI can't see any reason why our changes would affect this, but they're difficult to review due to all the noise11:21
mdzthe .deb ships with a symlink in it, update-m-f-chrome runs the registration process, tries to delete the symlink and replace it with an identical one11:22
mdzapparently this is intentional11:22
Keybukdo we have any changes to firefox that carried over to 1.0 ?11:22
mdzoh yes, a bunch11:23
mdz 53 files changed, 10734 insertions(+), 107 deletions(-)11:23

=== Keybuk bites thom
thomgambling happens later11:24
mdzthom: any clue about this?11:24
mdzUpdating mozilla-firefox chrome registry...mv: cannot stat `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults.ini': No such file or directory11:24
mdzsomething is deleting the symlink before that bit gets to it11:25
mdzeven if I touch defaults.ini, the same thing happens11:25
mdzoh11:26
mdzit's the script itself11:26
mdzhow can this possibly work?11:26
mdzmizar:[/space/tmp/mdz/tmp/firefox]  grep defaults.ini =update-mozilla-firefox-chrome11:26
mdzrm -f  ${LIBDIR}/defaults.ini11:26
mdzmv ${LIBDIR}/defaults.ini ${VARDIR}/11:26
mdzln -fs ${VARDIR}/defaults.ini ${LIBDIR}/11:26
mdzso that link is shipped in the .deb, deleted, then it attemps to move it and recreate it exactly the same again11:27
mdzeven if we assume that defaults.ini is supposed to be created between the rm and the mv11:27
mdzthat's still CRACK11:27
mdzwe don't patch that script at all11:29
mdzit's as if they decided to do the symlinks in the .deb rather than managing them with the script, and forgot to remove the code from the script11:32
mdzanyone have a Debian unstable system handy with firefox installed?11:44
carlosmdz: my sister's computer is still a debian unstable box, I can install firefox easily11:45
carlosmdz: what do you need?11:45
mdzcarlos: I need ls -l /{usr,var}/lib/mozilla-firefox/*.ini11:45
mdzafter installing 1.0-211:45
carlosok, updating && installing11:46
mdzthanks11:46
mdzrm -fr ${HOME}11:46
mdz^^ always nice to see in a maintainer script11:46
carloswho did that?11:46
mdzwhoever wrote update-mozilla-firefox-chrome11:46
mdzit sets HOME to a temporary directory earlier in the script11:47
carlosmdz: hmmm, so I should be carefully installing it?11:47
carlosoohh, ok11:47
mdzone day, though, someone will remove that and forget about the rm :-)11:47
mdzthat will be a bad day11:47
carlosyep :-(11:47
thomouch11:49
mdzthom: is it just me, or does this package go to some lengths to hack around things in wrapper scripts which might be better fixed by patching the programs which actually do the work?11:51
mdzthis update-m-f-chrome script is a prime example11:51

mdzcarlos: thanks11:52
mdzso basically, it ships those symlinks in the .deb, deletes them, runs a program which creates regular files there, renames the regular files to the target of the symlink, and then recreates exactly the same symlink11:53
mdza problem which seems better solved by pointing the program at the new location instead11:53
thomwere it anything else, i'd agree11:54
thomthe big trouble with mozilla stuff is that there's so much interrelated stuff in so many different plkaces (in different languages) that it's hard to be sure you've done it right11:55
mdzanyway, in Ubuntu, firefox-bin -register doesn't create the files at all, so everything breaks11:56
thomhuh?11:56
mdzin the 1.0-2ubuntu2 I just built11:57
thomyow11:57
mdzwhich is nothing but carrying stuff forward, and didn't even get near that code as far as I knew11:57
mdzthe usual "mozilla components randomly segfaulting" explanation, oddly enough, doesn't apply this time11:57
mdzit exits successfully without doing half of what it should have11:58
mdzeither something's wrong with the ubuntu diff, or something's wrong with my build environment in a very subtle way11:59
