makothe custom officials open the package and see 10 copies of the same cd and just freak out12:25
jdubheh12:25
jdubmdz: so, we don't have a component for linux 2.6.9 yet12:27
jdubmdz: i need inotify kernel headers on the buildds12:27
mdzjdub: "linux" should be used for all kernel stuff, generally12:28
jdubmdz: should i make a new component, linux-source...?12:28
jdubah, okay12:28
mdzjdub: you do not need kernel headers on the buildds12:28
truluxbluefoxicy, ping12:28
truluxlamont, hey12:28
mdzjdub: whatever it is, it shouldn't rely on kernel headers on the build system12:28
jdubhrm12:28
jdubi don't think it *relies* on them12:29
jdubno, has a local header for it12:29
lamontjdub: kernel headers should never be included in user space12:31
lamonttrulux: yo12:31
jdubit's okay, it has a local copy12:31
truluxlamont, do you the hardened debian project?12:33
mdzjdub: perfect12:33
truluxlamont, i have some documentation you could find interesting, it's at http://wiki.debian-hardened.org/Main_Page12:33
lamonttrulux: I think I may have heard something about it12:34
lamontwill look at the docs12:34
truluxlamont, fine12:36
truluxlamont, what job/activy are you taking at Ubuntu?12:36
=== trulux has finished the libssp, but still debian package fails building, needs further checking

truluxlamont, great, if you want i can send you now the tarball with the 0.2 revision, but don't distribute it yet, use it for yur own fun, we will release it after we do some docs and also clean some of the ssp.c routines12:43

=== chrisa [~chris@nullcode.org] has joined #ubuntu-devel
lamontjdub: they've been doing lots of work to make it smart about when it steals.  All I want is an option that says "never steal focus from the current window".01:47
jdubin many cases it doesn't01:48
jdubif you've found a stupid case where it does01:48
jdubthat should be fixed01:48
jdubif that option is there, it will never be fixed01:48
jdubask me to tell you about the window button switcher horrors sometime :)01:48
=== Fubar [FTTP@207-38-252-211.c3-0.wsd-ubr1.qens-wsd.ny.cable.rcn.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Fubarhello01:49
Fubarhow is ubuntu coming along ? :)01:49
lamontjdub: yeah, all I want is the 'be stupid' option01:49
jdublamont: otherwise known as the "never actually fix the problem" option :)01:49
lamontjdub: when I run an xterm from inside another window, who's to say that I _WANT_ it to take focus.  In fact, I have a case or 3 where I specifically _DON'T_ want focus given to the child window.01:51
lamontand there is _NO_WAY_ for metacity to know what I'm currently thinking.01:51
lamontso it's not "never fix the problem", it's "quit trying to read my )*&%*&^P mind"01:51
jdublamont: depends on your activity in the former window01:53
lamontno.01:53
jdubheh01:53
lamontin the use case in question, I just ran a script.01:53
lamontit launches 12 xterms.01:53
lamontI want focus to stay in the current window01:53
lamontbecause I'm not done there01:53
jdubso if you're not done, and there is activity, hooray for doing the right thing01:54
jdubalso, xterm makes life harder01:54
jdubso perhaps things that don't grok the standards can be special cased01:54
mdzKamion: I don't suppose you're still around01:54
jdubthere are lots of options here beyond reading your mind01:54
lamontdid I mention the sleep 1 after each of the 12 xterm launches?01:54
jdubyou need to write down the use case so someone has a chance of analysing it01:54
lamontI _WANT_ focus to be under the mouse. period.01:54
lamontif I _WANT_ it somewhere else, I want to have to move the mouse.01:55
lamontthat use case is specifically and diametrically opposed to metacity's current design01:55
jdubdude, people have said the same thing about "I _WANT_ the window switcher button applet to be X pixels wide!"01:55
lamontwindow switcher button applet?01:55
jdubsuddenly, when it "just works", they stop complaining because they don't even realise there's a problem01:55
jdub10:03 < lamont> that use case is specifically and diametrically opposed to01:56
jdub                metacity's current design01:56
jdub^ "current behaviour"01:56
jdubthat's why we fix things to just work01:56
jdubif you don't provide use cases, that can't happen01:56
jdubif we keep making options so we don't have to actually fix the software, that can't happne01:56
lamontI guess the real issue is that I fail to see that it's a problem. :-)01:57
jdubsure, the answer might end up being, "we don't believe this use case is important" or "we can't deal with that when you're using xterm"01:57
jdubdude01:57
jdubyou have a problem with the current behaviour01:57
jdubthat is what we're talking about01:57
=== eruin [~eruin@eruin.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdubif it weren't a problem, you wouldn't raise it01:57
lamontI meant I have some difficulty understanding why stealing focus is actually _solving_ a problem.01:58
jdubdude01:58
jdubthe whole point of the work being done on metacity is "focus stealing avoidance"01:58
lamontjdub: which is based fundamentally on the decision that stealing focus is a good thing (under the right circumstances)01:59
jdubyes, absolutley01:59
jdubwhen i run an application01:59
jdubi expect to be able to type into it01:59
jdubwithout changing the focus01:59
jdubhowever, when i run an application and am still doing things elsewhere,01:59
lamontso my read of it is "we've decided to break things in the general case because we think this is a neat feature, and now we're going to special case the hell out of things for where we have to agree that it's a bad thing"01:59
jdubi don't really want it stealing the focus01:59
jdubno01:59
lamontah, therein lies the difference.02:00
lamontwhen I run an application, I expect to move the mouse into that window before I type.02:00
lamontThat's why I have FOCUS=MOUSE.02:00
jdubokay, so imagine you have a bug in a piece of software02:00
jdublike ls02:00

jdubit works under strace02:00
jdubbut never works on its own02:00
jdubso you decide that it's easier for people to run it in strace02:00
jdubinstead of fixing the bug02:00
jdubwhen it comes to behavioural bugs02:01
lamontjdub: I decided that it's easier for _ME_ to run it that way.02:01
jdubit is better to fix the problem than provide an option to 'unbreak me'02:01
lamontthe whole thing is about letting the user _DECIDE_ how he wants it to behave/02:01
lamontand I can'02:01
lamontt02:01
jduboh man02:01
jdubright02:01

jdubduring the gnome 2.0 development process02:02
jduball the options for the window list were removed02:02
jduband work began on making it 'just work'02:02
jdubthere was a massive, massive flamewar02:02
jdubbecause people used the options to make it work correctly02:03
lamontI can see that02:03
jdubin various use cases02:03
jdubafter about two months02:03
jdubthe flamewar died down02:03
jdubthis was before there was a general understanding of how to do 'just works' development02:04
jdubso no one actually realised that it had improved to such an extent that it did the right thing02:04
jduband wasn't punching them in the face02:04
jdubso they didn't think to complain02:04
jdubso if the focus issues in metacity are punching you in the face,02:05
jdubyou need to explain your use cases02:05
jdubso they can be taken into account02:05
lamontright.02:05
jdubeven if you think they're totally impossible to handle02:05
lamontmy use case is 15? years of having whatever window is under the mouse be the one that has focus.  period.02:06
lamontyeah - it's not what the new user wants.  But it's what my brain is trained to.02:06
lamontand hands02:06
jdubbecause seriously, those window list option removals made "using gnome impossible" for so many people... until it just worked.02:06
jdublamont: i'm not going to solve your problem, but consider a change in behaviour in sloppy focus mode.02:07
lamontso when an app pops up a window and that suddenly has focus clear across the screen until I either (1) leave and reenter the current window, or (2) left click, then it messes with my head02:07
jdublamont: this is not impossible.02:07
jdubif you think it's impossible, your brain is closed to clever ways to fix it.02:07
lamontjdub: I still move the mouse across the screen to the (now focused) window.02:08
sivangjdub,lamont : what bug# are you discussing?02:08
lamontI expect that with time, I'll untrain 15 years of training, but that's a productivity pain in the meantime02:08
jdubthere's no bug#02:08
jdublamont: i don't think you're listening. :)02:08
lamontsivang: the bug is that I expect focus to remain under the mouse at all times, and metacity is being smart.02:08
jdubno dude02:09
jdubthat's not the bug02:09
lamontjdub: you're saying that metacity could/should be taught to better understand when it should move focus to the new window.  I understand that.02:09
sivangjdub : Oh, you mean where ever you put the moust there should be the focus set?02:09
jdubby explaining it that way, you're ignoring behaviour02:09
lamontsivang: that's how I've operated since X10.02:09
lamontjdub: OK.  metacity should better understand when it should not move focus to the new window.02:10
eruinyou guys ever tried rightclicking the desktop, opening a terminal, then doing the same thing again?02:10
eruinnone of the windows have focus.02:10
lamonteruin: under metacity, the last terminal launched has focus02:10
eruinthe first terminal gets focus, but when you open the second one - none of them get it02:10
lamontnot here02:11
jdubthe terminal is not getting focus here02:11
jdubonly when i move the mouse over it02:11
eruinmine doesn't get focus until I click it02:11
=== lamont hasn't quite upgraded the desktop machine (this one) to hoary. That's inplan for tonight
jdublamont: ... so you're talking about warty's metacity?02:12
lamontjdub: is the second phrasing more consistant with what you want me to say?02:12
lamontyeah02:12
jdubsheeeeesh02:12
jdubdude02:12
lamontjdub: but either way....02:12
jdubno02:12
jdubnot either wya02:12
lamontWhen metacity should better understand when it should not move focus to the new window? never. (my use case)02:12
jdubit is specifically not enabled in warty's metacity02:12
lamonthuh???02:13
lamontit==??02:13
jdubthe focus stealing prevention changes02:13
lamontok.  I'll bitch after I upgrade.02:13
eruinwhat metacity should do (imo anyway) is give focus to user-opened windows by default, _unless_ the user started using another window while the opened window was still being opened02:13
mirakanyone know where I can find the 2.6.8 kernel that was used before beeing updated ?02:14
lamont(apt-get -udy dist-upgrade finally finished... that is to say, the local mirror finally came current.)02:14
mdzmirak: there never was a 2.6.8 in Ubuntu; we started with 2.6.8.102:14
mirakit was updated with dis-upgrade but I have troubles with it02:14
mirakmdz, 2.6.8.1 yes02:14
mirakmdz, 2.6.8.1-302:14
Fubarquestion for ubuntu developers:  Does Ubuntu have any plans to coordinate issues with the hardware manufacturers if they provide their own drivers? 02:14
eruinI'm sure I saw my 2.6.8.1-kernel get upgraded last week or so02:14
mdzFubar: yes02:14
mirakmdz, it was just changed two days ago02:14
mirakI need the old version02:15
miraklilo can't boot the new one, and I have problems with grub02:15
Fubarmdz:  See i had an issue for my video system, and im not sure if its an x or driver bug 02:15
mdzmirak: unless you're on sparc, it hasn't had any significant changes since 2004-11-0202:15
mirakmdz, or I could use warty 2.6.802:15
eruinwell there be an athlon(xp)-specific kernel or is that pointless (ie there wouldn't be any gain from k7)02:15
eruinwill*02:15
mirakmdz, it was updated two days ago02:15
Fubarmdz:  i reported it and daniel thought it was due to the video card drivers... 02:15
mdzmirak: <mdz> mirak: unless you're on sparc, it hasn't had any significant changes since 2004-11-0202:16
Fubarsaid he was making changes to upstream02:16
Fubarbut that there was nothing he could do02:16
mirakmdz, significant dosn't mean no change02:16
Fubarso all these issues i take it go back into the system to see if they can be fixed later on right ?02:16
mirakmdz, I told you it was dist upgraded two days ago02:16
mdzmirak: for i386, it was a recompile02:16
mdzzero code changes02:16
mirakmdz, then something changed02:16
mirakI don't know what02:17
Fubarubuntu very nice on balance for linux distro02:17
mirakmaybe some options where changed02:17
mdzprobably an issue with your initrd; this really isn't the place to discuss it02:17
mirakmdz, if you don't use lilo you probably not noticed it02:17
mirakwhy not02:17
mdz /topic02:18
miraki didn't got another answer than reinstall the system02:18

mdzbluefoxicy: no, I don't05:17
bluefoxicywill updating the info update previous orders that weren't yet shipped?05:17
mdzif it's required, I imagine mako would have shipit reject requests which didn't include a phone number05:18

bluefoxicyI'll try to hand them out though05:29
bluefoxicyif they vanish I'm ordering more next time; if I can get a school or college to hand 'em out I might make a fairly large order05:30

fabbionedaniels: if we ship asm-* for kernel-headers, wouldn't be possible to make it arch: all? or do we still need some arch specific bits in it?12:11
danielsi suppose we could have linux-headers-2.6.9-1-asm as arch:all12:12
danielsKamion: out of curiousity, why's it on the cd?12:12
Kamiondaniels: so people can build third-party modules they need to access the network12:12
danielsKamion: ahr12:13
Kamionit's for convenience; it's been quite popular12:13
fabbionehmmmm12:13

fabbioneelmo: that's what we need to check12:13
danielselmo: talking about lh, not lkh12:13
danielsbut yes, that's what I'm looking at now, is whether asm-* gets stomped on at build-time12:14
danielsistr asm-* being safely arch:all, but linux/ being specific12:14
Kamionlinux/ contains stuff like config.h12:14
danielsright12:14
elmoa tar.gz of asm* is only 3Mb - is that a big deal?12:15
