Matt|hi guys. I've had some problems with the nimbus roman font. When converting it to pdf in openoffice it comes out really badly. example is here: http://mdke.mine.nu/images/pdf_problems.png Does anyone have any advice?10:59
amuMatt|: if you print the file, it looks also bad?11:27
Matt|amu, not sure11:27
Matt|amu, i don't have a printer11:27
Matt|:(11:27
amuif you change your desktop fonts to nimbus, the look in a same way compared to the doc?  11:29
amus/the/they11:29
Matt|not really: the problem with the doc is the inconsistency11:31
Matt|there is something weird about the nimbus font in ubuntu11:31
Matt|there is also no bold of that font11:31
amuMatt|: what hapen if you change the font to an bitstream?11:36
Matt|amu, lemme try it11:37
Matt|amu, it seems reasonable11:39
amuthe font's at your desktop are the bitstream, and they look fine?   11:44
Matt|i've tried putting the document in bitstream and converting it to pdf11:45
amuyou have a crt or lcd display?  11:49
amui'm not sure if oof use now his own fontconfig, probably run a dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and enable subpixeling from the computer-desktopsettings-fonts11:53
=== kagou [~kagou@80.125.196.60] has joined #ubuntu-devel

amuMatt|: Depending on your display and on which fonts you use, they can look better or worse when using the autohinter module. Enable it if you happen to prefer the look it gives to your fonts.12:03
Matt|amu, same deal after enabling subpixeling12:03
Matt|amu, i have an idea12:05
Matt|amu, ok solved. The problem was that that part of the document was actually flagged as bold, although it didn't appear when i looked at the document as the nimbus roman font has no bold. Thanks for your help12:07

truluxmy gcc pkgs have only 3 patches: protector (updated and re-compressed) from IBM (SSP/ProPolice), a patch to make gcc able to read specs fles from an environment variable04:32
dokothe work by Etoh?04:32
truluxyeah04:32
truluxthe third is the libssp one04:32
truluxhow it works?04:32
truluxsimple, it makes gcc able to use standard -fstack-protector option, but reads and uses ssp symbols from a shared library 04:33
truluxlibssp04:33
truluxso, we use -fstack-protector -lssp04:33
truluxand we will have the SSP, adn also we can modify SSP and its functions without having to recompile the whole bucnh of glibc or gcc (if ssp is there)04:33

dokomy concern is, that the patch is only available for 3.4, and we loose the option to switch to gcc-4.0 as the default compiler, if we introduce a patch like this. Etoh did update the patch for 3.4, I'll ping him about 4.0 and put you on the CC.04:34

dokotrulux: gcc-3.404:56
truluxdoko, ok04:56
martinkhaggai, I'm sure an Ubuntu patchset will be handy, but this xinerama stuff is supposed to be autodetected, isn't it?04:56
haggaimartink: hmm, not sure how _rene_ did it04:56
=== gro [~gro@u212-239-167-178.adsl.pi.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel
dokohaggai: no, it's a changed patch in ooo-build/04:57
haggaidoko: easy, at the top of the apply file we have a list of distros and corresponding patches.  We pass the name of the patchset in from debian/rules, and we already know (using lsb_release) what we have there04:57
haggaidoko: look in ooo-build/patches/OOO_1_1_3/apply and be in awe of the magic ;)04:58
enricoHello.  I have a tiny nuisance to report with the live cd04:58
enricoa friend run the ubuntu live CD, then booted back on his sytem and he couldn't mount /home anymore04:58
enricoI told him to fsck his home; fsck did its job and now he has his home again04:59
dokohaggai: known, but who assures, that you add a patch to the ubuntu set as well as the debian set?04:59
enricoAppearently, he turned of the live CD system with EXit on gnome, and his machine turned off04:59
amuenrico: he mounted his home, and turned off the computer? 05:00
enricoNo: he used the "exit" command in gnome, and let the system shutdown and turn off05:00
enricoHe mounted the partition with "automount in nautilus"05:00
sladenenrico: so, the situation is;  ext2 on /home, which is not mounted automatically and is not listed as fsckable in fstab?05:00
amuenrico: problem is with the init, it should unmount the filesystem, and than eject the CD, but it doent do that 05:01
Riddellamu: what isn't he releasing the source to?05:01
enrico. /home is not mounted automatically by ubuntu livecd05:01
amuRiddell: unfortunately not, ralf has this year a lot of fun, now ralf is lost in space, and he continue :(  05:02
enricoappearently, his system mounts it as ext2, but nautilus mounted as ext3.  fsck said it found a journal on it.05:03
enricoHowever, I seem to be going into sci/fi.  Unfortuntately, the report can't get any better than this vague05:04
enricoThat is, he's 100Km from here and I have no access to his machine to investigate, and so on.  So, this can happily be dropped until it's reported by someone else05:04
amuenrico: the only solution atm is, umount the filesys manually before rebooting05:07
haggaidoko: as I said, have a look at the magic :)  You have several sections, and you add an UbuntuOnly section for just ubuntu's patches, and you share the rest, just like Debian does with RH, SuSE, etc05:10
Mithrandirfabbione: ack, ok.05:13
enricoamu: right.  However, being it the ubuntu live CD, if it has a problem like that it should definitely be looked into (since it's a test system, it shouldn't allow to do mistakes, even by mistake).  Telling nautilus to mount read-only by default, for example, could be a good idea05:14
martinkhaggai, found the answer in the ubuntu diff.gz. In ooo-build/patches/OOO_1_1/xinerama-pic-on-all-archs.diff the s/-lXinerama/-lXinerama_pic/ change was removed05:16
haggaimartink: hmm, that should be fine05:18
haggaimartink: it's definately not auto-detected, looking at that patch :)05:19
haggaimartink: there is a Build-Depends: libxinerame-dev in control, so it should have been ok if that part of the patch has been removed05:20
amuenrico: worth to discuss, a liveCD is something critical, and should be upgraded time by time. At least, if pitti release a USN05:20
martinkhaggai, yes, definitely not autodetected. And debian-only.05:24

_rene_since the first build is the gnomevfs one08:32
_rene_and instsetoo takes its stuff from the solver08:32
Mithrandiruhm, no, it doesn't, it builds in another solver directory08:32
_rene_it builds in another tools/ directory08:32
_rene_the library is then cp'ed into the solver in its normal name08:33
_rene_and the gvfs one renamed .gvfs before08:33
haggai_rene_: ouch :( I thought you did it the other way around08:33
Mithrandirright08:33
Mithrandirbut when it then makes in solver again, it gets overwritten08:33
haggai_rene_: that's asking for trouble08:33
_rene_haggai: the problem is how to make it in ooo-build. either we don't apply the patch and then apply all those stuff manually or we do it this way08:34
_rene_hmm. we could copy it over and build the gvfs stuff in tools/gvfs and apply the GnomeVFS section manually there...08:34
_rene_erm, that patch08:34
haggai_rene_: with your soln, you have to do some patch application manually, so you mayaswell not apply the patch, and then apply the patch later and do a special build08:35
_rene_the problem is that we need to apply the whole section08:35
haggai_rene_: so make a new patch target08:35
_rene_where are patches not touching tools/08:35
_rene_haggai: hmm?08:35
Mithrandir_rene_: can't the patch be split, then?08:36
haggai_rene_: apply.pl --patchset=debianWithGnome or something08:36
_rene_Mithrandir: it already are some patches. we just unapply the one changing libtl08:36
_rene_hmm. will look08:36
haggai_rene_: even better, make those patches dependent on a preprocessor var08:37
_rene_uh? how?08:37
haggai#ifdefing stuff08:37
_rene_-DUSE_GNOMEVFS?08:37
haggaiyup08:38
trulux#ifdef08:38
haggaiand an envvar for the makefiles08:38
_rene_that would mean to a) need conditionalzing the whole stuff and then running configure thrice08:38
_rene_Hmm08:38
trulux_rene_, try a GCC wrapper08:38
haggai_rene_: I wasn't thinking about adding stuff to configure08:38
haggai_rene_: just to the makefiles and code08:38
truluxthat reads special flags from a file, created with another tool who reads simple human-readable configuration labels08:39
_rene_ah, and then export in the environment?08:39
truluxlike gentoo eclasses and so on08:39
trulux:)08:39
_rene_but that will break full-gnomevfs builds08:39
=== _rene_ ignores that sentence
haggai_rene_: that way, you have a new target which goes  source $ENVFILE; USE_GNOMEVFS=TRUE; OUTPUT=unxlngi4.gnome ; cd tools; build.pl08:39
haggai_rene_: and you get your output in a seperate directory08:39
_rene_yeah, I see08:40
haggai_rene_: and nothing gets overwritten so you can use make's magic filestamping to keep everything working08:40
_rene_but that will break "normal" builds08:40
=== sjoerd [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
haggai_rene_: no.  that's why I said to conditionalise it08:40
_rene_ooo-build builds that is08:40
_rene_and when you don08:40
_rene_''t define USE_GNOMEVFS?08:40
haggai_rene_: oh, ok reverse the variable meaning08:40
haggai_rene_: add to the makefile.mk: USE_GNOMEVFS*=TRUE08:41
_rene_ok, I'll look08:41
haggai_rene_: that way you can unset it from the environment08:41
_rene_trulux: rule of thumb: a setence containing gentoo is good for me ignoring this sentence ;)08:41
haggaitrulux: and is overengineering for the problem in this case08:42
truluxhaggai, yep, just dreaming ;-)08:43
trulux_rene_, that  hurts me a bit, i'm a concerned gentoo user08:43
truluxand debian also08:43
truluxin fact -> Ubuntu08:43
trulux;-)08:43
wasabiHum. Would everybody poopoo me if I suggested making -dbg packages of most Big Gnome packages? Evolution, Nautilus, etc.08:55
wasabiThings that tend to crash a lot with no explanation. :)08:56
haggaiwasabi: we tried to make -dbg packages for OOo and discovered there is a bug somewhere - you may hit it perhaps09:02
wasabihmm?09:02
_rene_we tried to use --dbg-package= form dh_strip09:03
_rene_binutils somehow didn't like the libs09:03
wasabiHmm.09:03
_rene_but only *sometimes*09:03
haggai_rene_: oh, ok09:04

quittei want to make xorg packages for debian. as xorg is in hoary i figured it was bestto get te source of the ubuntu packages to start with. can you tellme were i can find it?09:36
mdzah09:39
chrisaquitte: I think several people have already done that individually, there were a bunch of debs last time I looked09:47
mdzquitte: the source for everything is in the archive09:50
mdzquitte: but talk to fabbione; I imagine he is planning to make official X.org packages for Debian09:50
kylemshaya did a set of them.09:52
=== sjoerd__ [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
danielsmdz: i imagine that would be a fair way off, by the time everyone from every architecture has sorted it out09:55
mdzdaniels: for unstable, sure, but not for experimental09:55
kylemthat reminds me to take a look at xorg on hppa.09:55
danielsmdz: IIRC, Branden didn't put 4.3.x into experimental until it was working on basically every architecture except hurd-i386 and sh.09:55
danielskylem: if you want to throw me over a MANIFEST.hppa.in, and, for bonus points, *.install.hppa, I'll throw it in our packages09:56
kylemok... err, does ubuntu intend to port to hppa or something?09:56
danielsnot really09:56
mdzlamont is likely to do it at some point09:56
danielsbut since they're currently basically the sole source for debian/ubuntu packaging, i figure having the hppa bling there would be neat ;)09:57
kylemfine, fine, heh.09:57

Kamionpython-parted's in the desktop seed?!10:23
Kamionsheesh10:23
Kamionguess I'd better fix it then, but I don't think it needs to be there10:23
danielsKamion: yo, dude10:24
danielsKamion: ide modules are in the bios, yeah?10:24
danielsKamion: sideshow has an x40 here, and he can't install because it hasn't picked up his ide controller10:24
danielsKamion: drivers/ide is suspiciously empty10:24
danielsKamion: (this is a pxe install, mind)10:24
danielsKamion: er10:25
danielsKamion: imagine I never said 'ide modules are in the bios'10:25
danielsKamion: are the ide drivers in the kernel (i.e. non-modular) in the installer?10:25
=== sjoerd__ [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Kamiondaniels: they're modular10:27
Kamiondaniels: drivers/ide/ will be empty from the start of a netboot install; ide-modules is pulled in later over the network10:27
danielsKamion: right, ta10:28
danielsKamion: this doesn't seem to have happened10:28
Kamiondaniels: what stage of the install has it got to?10:28
elmoKamion: it was part of the python-world phase10:28
danielsKamion: partitioning10:28
Kamiondaniels: oh, also, what version of the installer is he using? if it's hoary and <= day or two ago, it won't work10:29
danielsKamion: warty, yo10:29
Kamionhmm10:29
Kamiondo me a favour, switch to tty2 and 'debconf-get mirror/suite'10:30
Kamiondaniels: I'll confess that I haven't netbooted warty since like forever, but fabbione tested it pre-release I believe10:32
=== chrisa should set some of these ubuntu displays up in the Univ cs buildings and such
Kamionmkay, new python-parted uploaded, ubuntu-desktop/hoary should become installable again in a bit10:34
danielsKamion: yeah, 'show I installed mine10:38
danielsKamion: (sideshow is re-netbooting now, so we'll see if it's still arse when he boots from mine; if it is, diagnostics will be on the way)10:39
Kamiondaniels: ta. I'm around for maybe another hour and a half10:39
danielsKamion: rad10:42
truluxdoko, i want to create an ubuntu-hardened livecd, what's the man in charge of livecds?10:42
Kamionit has just struck me how totally trivial it is to churn out bootable USB images that work the way I want10:42
danielsKamion: it's working now10:43
Kamionhmm10:43
Kamiondaniels: if it happens again I need /var/log/syslog10:44
Kamiongah, this sucks, can't build Ubuntu d-i images on Debian any more10:45
Kamionbloody parted10:45
danielsKamion: will do, cheers10:45
danielsKamion: oh, bugger.  abi change?10:45
Kamionuh-huh10:45
danielssheez.10:46
Kamionah well, I have a million chroots lying around10:46
mdzKamion: we ought to get the installed system booting from USB correctly, too10:49
danielsmdz: yeah10:49
Kamionmdz: very painful on powerpc unfortunately10:51
Kamionmdz: (but yes)10:51
mdzKamion: oh? why particularly on powerpc?10:52
Kamionmdz: IIRC joeyh has had debian-installer successfully booting from one USB stick and installing to another, so it shouldn't be too hard10:52
mdzinstalling to it is fairly straightforward, but getting it to boot afterward needs some work10:52
Kamionmdz: because ofpath (yaboot) doesn't have a clue how to find the Open Firmware path to the USB stick, and even when I looked at it by hand it required a certain amount of guesswork10:53
mdzeither adding the necessary modules to the mkinitrd list, or moving hotplug into the initrd10:53
Kamion(and therefore I don't see an easy way to modify ofpath to fix that problem)10:53
mdzhotplug-in-initrd really should happen anyway10:53
Kamionhotplug-in-initrd sucks; found that out in d-i10:53
mdzoh?10:53
Kamionhaving udevd start up before you've got around to running pivot_root is not good10:53
Kamionif udevd weren't there it might just about be sane, although the race conditions still concern me10:54
KamionI think hotplug would need to be disabled around the pivot_root10:54
Kamionand you'd have to wait for any running scripts to go away10:54
mdzI think hotplug-in-initrd is the way forward, though it has some issues to work out10:54
Kamionmy solution in d-i was to install hotplug as /sbin/hotplug.real and only enable it once the system is in a roughly sane state10:55
KamionI think you'd want to do something like that for hotplug-in-initrd; basically just use it as coldplugging, don't attempt true hotplug10:55
truluxlamont, ping10:56
mdzright10:56
mdztrulux: he's left for the airport10:56
truluxmdz, ok10:57
mdzit's just a nice way of centralizing the logic and getting rid of all that guesswork in mkinitrd to figure out what to load for the root filesystem10:57
mdzand as a bonus being able to pull the disk from one machine and put it into another, and have it still boot10:58
truluxmdz, how easy is to rebuild the whole ubuntu pkgs tree? wanna-build?10:58
mdztrulux: not very esay10:58
mdzeasy10:58
mdzassuming you're talking about bootstrapping a new architecture10:58
mdzrather than just recompiling things for an existing one10:59
mdzrecompiling for an existing one is fairly simple10:59
daniels(and if you are recompiling, why?)10:59
truluxmdz, why you say not "for an existing one" ?10:59
Kamionmdz: pull the disk> assuming that grub does the right thing ...10:59
danielstrulux: if you are recompiling for i386, amd64, or powerpc, it's very easy10:59
danielstrulux: if you are recompiling everything on an architecture where ubuntu doesn't already run, it's hard11:00
amu*gaehn* 11:00
truluxdaniels, i mean i38611:01
truluxrecompiling for i38611:01
danielstrulux: why are you recompiling for i386?11:01
