[08:24] or "taping" [08:24] eheh [08:24] that's not too bad. [08:25] nah it just takes a lot of time mostly due to the drying time [08:25] between each different thing [08:25] but it does get boring. Of course, if you know the right tricks, you can fill nails in 1 coat, sand, and be done with that. Much better than 2-3 coats... [08:25] yeah. lots of drying time. [08:26] yeah i know.. but i don't know the tricks.. [08:26] so it's like all doubled [08:26] first time we painted our house, my wife was very fabbergasted that my idea of prepping a room to paint was throwing a drop cloth on the floor. no taping off windows or anything. really perplexed her. [08:26] + the house is quite old and the walls are really uneven [08:26] I've just found it's less work if I just don't put paint on the windows.

[11:27] Matt|: if you print the file, it looks also bad? [11:27] amu, not sure [11:27] amu, i don't have a printer [11:27] :( [11:29] if you change your desktop fonts to nimbus, the look in a same way compared to the doc? [11:29] s/the/they [11:31] not really: the problem with the doc is the inconsistency [11:31] there is something weird about the nimbus font in ubuntu [11:31] there is also no bold of that font [11:36] Matt|: what hapen if you change the font to an bitstream? [11:37] amu, lemme try it [11:39] amu, it seems reasonable [11:44] the font's at your desktop are the bitstream, and they look fine? [11:45] i've tried putting the document in bitstream and converting it to pdf [11:49] you have a crt or lcd display?

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.

[04:32] my 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 variable [04:32] the work by Etoh? [04:32] yeah [04:32] the third is the libssp one [04:32] how it works? [04:33] simple, it makes gcc able to use standard -fstack-protector option, but reads and uses ssp symbols from a shared library [04:33] libssp [04:33] so, we use -fstack-protector -lssp [04:33] and 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) [04:34] so, we have this: === smurfix [~smurf@run.smurf.noris.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:34] lorenzo@dunruin:~/LIBSSP/libssp-0.2$ gcc -fstack-protector -lssp vuln-stack.c && ./a.out 1234567890123456 [04:34] a.out: stack smashing attack in function main() [04:34] ---- [04:34] main=0x80000914 __guard_setup=0x4001daf0 __guard=0x22324fa2 [04:34] ppid=10622 pid=12190 uid=1000 euid=1000 gid=1000 egid=1000 [04:34] ---- [04:34] Abortado [04:34] lorenzo@dunruin:~/LIBSSP/libssp-0.2$ [04:34] my 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.

[04:56] trulux: gcc-3.4 [04:56] doko, ok [04:56] haggai, I'm sure an Ubuntu patchset will be handy, but this xinerama stuff is supposed to be autodetected, isn't it?

We pass the name of the patchset in from debian/rules, and we already know (using lsb_release) what we have there [04:58] doko: look in ooo-build/patches/OOO_1_1_3/apply and be in awe of the magic ;) [04:58] Hello. I have a tiny nuisance to report with the live cd [04:58] a friend run the ubuntu live CD, then booted back on his sytem and he couldn't mount /home anymore [04:59] I told him to fsck his home; fsck did its job and now he has his home again [04:59] haggai: known, but who assures, that you add a patch to the ubuntu set as well as the debian set? [04:59] Appearently, he turned of the live CD system with EXit on gnome, and his machine turned off [05:00] enrico: he mounted his home, and turned off the computer? [05:00] No: he used the "exit" command in gnome, and let the system shutdown and turn off [05:00] He mounted the partition with "automount in nautilus" [05:00] enrico: so, the situation is; ext2 on /home, which is not mounted automatically and is not listed as fsckable in fstab? [05:01] enrico: problem is with the init, it should unmount the filesystem, and than eject the CD, but it doent do that [05:01] amu: what isn't he releasing the source to? [05:01] . /home is not mounted automatically by ubuntu livecd [05:02] Riddell: unfortunately not, ralf has this year a lot of fun, now ralf is lost in space, and he continue :( [05:03] appearently, his system mounts it as ext2, but nautilus mounted as ext3. fsck said it found a journal on it. [05:04] However, I seem to be going into sci/fi. Unfortuntately, the report can't get any better than this vague [05:04] That 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 else [05:07] enrico: the only solution atm is, umount the filesys manually before rebooting [05:10] doko: 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, etc [05:13] fabbione: ack, ok. [05:14] amu: 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 idea [05:16] haggai, 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 removed [05:18] martink: hmm, that should be fine [05:19] martink: it's definately not auto-detected, looking at that patch :) [05:20] martink: there is a Build-Depends: libxinerame-dev in control, so it should have been ok if that part of the patch has been removed [05:20] enrico: worth to discuss, a liveCD is something critical, and should be upgraded time by time. At least, if pitti release a USN [05:24] haggai, yes, definitely not autodetected. And debian-only. [05:25] OK, I'm in the hotel [05:25] now whwrnow where do I find ubuntu people? :) [05:25] Treenaks: you're in BCN? fun! :) [05:28] Treenaks : how was the trip from barcelona to mataro? === elmo [~james@82.211.81.249] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:33] sivang: the train smelled like piss, but the rest is nice :) [05:36] anyway, what I was asking.. how do I find Ubuntu people here?

[08:34] <_rene_> erm, that patch [08:35] _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 build [08:35] <_rene_> the problem is that we need to apply the whole section [08:35] _rene_: so make a new patch target [08:35] <_rene_> where are patches not touching tools/ [08:35] <_rene_> haggai: hmm?

[08:38] yup [08:38] #ifdef [08:38] and an envvar for the makefiles [08:38] <_rene_> that would mean to a) need conditionalzing the whole stuff and then running configure thrice [08:38] <_rene_> Hmm [08:38] _rene_, try a GCC wrapper [08:38] _rene_: I wasn't thinking about adding stuff to configure [08:38] _rene_: just to the makefiles and code [08:39] that reads special flags from a file, created with another tool who reads simple human-readable configuration labels [08:39] <_rene_> ah, and then export in the environment? [08:39] like gentoo eclasses and so on [08:39] :) [08:39] <_rene_> but that will break full-gnomevfs builds === _rene_ ignores that sentence [08:39] _rene_: that way, you have a new target which goes source $ENVFILE; USE_GNOMEVFS=TRUE; OUTPUT=unxlngi4.gnome ; cd tools; build.pl [08:39] _rene_: and you get your output in a seperate directory [08:40] <_rene_> yeah, I see [08:40] _rene_: and nothing gets overwritten so you can use make's magic filestamping to keep everything working [08:40] <_rene_> but that will break "normal" builds === sjoerd [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:40] _rene_: no. that's why I said to conditionalise it [08:40] <_rene_> ooo-build builds that is [08:40] <_rene_> and when you don [08:40] <_rene_> ''t define USE_GNOMEVFS? [08:40] _rene_: oh, ok reverse the variable meaning [08:41] _rene_: add to the makefile.mk: USE_GNOMEVFS*=TRUE [08:41] <_rene_> ok, I'll look [08:41] _rene_: that way you can unset it from the environment [08:41] <_rene_> trulux: rule of thumb: a setence containing gentoo is good for me ignoring this sentence ;) [08:42] trulux: and is overengineering for the problem in this case [08:43] haggai, yep, just dreaming ;-) [08:43] _rene_, that hurts me a bit, i'm a concerned gentoo user [08:43] and debian also [08:43] in fact -> Ubuntu [08:43] ;-) [08:55] Hum. Would everybody poopoo me if I suggested making -dbg packages of most Big Gnome packages? Evolution, Nautilus, etc. [08:56] Things that tend to crash a lot with no explanation. :) [09:02] wasabi: we tried to make -dbg packages for OOo and discovered there is a bug somewhere - you may hit it perhaps [09:02] hmm? [09:03] <_rene_> we tried to use --dbg-package= form dh_strip [09:03] <_rene_> binutils somehow didn't like the libs [09:03] Hmm. [09:03] <_rene_> but only *sometimes* [09:04] _rene_: oh, ok === chrisa [~chris@nullcode.org] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:07] _rene_: so you'r making the changes which should fix my problem? :) === _rene__ [~rene@dsl-213-023-029-233.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mirak [~mirak@AAubervilliers-152-1-25-166.w83-114.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:20] _rene_: that's very interesting; I would expect the resulting stripped binary to be exactly the same, regardless of whether the debug info was saved to a file === _rene__ is now known as _rene_ [09:21] <_rene_> mdz: no, that was not the problem. it was binutils choking during dh_strip [09:22] <_rene_> mdz: i.e. strip failing === quitte [~quitte@pD9E61566.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === moyogo [~moyogo@HSE-Toronto-ppp189288.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:36] i 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? [09:39] ah [09:47] quitte: I think several people have already done that individually, there were a bunch of debs last time I looked [09:50] quitte: the source for everything is in the archive [09:50] quitte: but talk to fabbione; I imagine he is planning to make official X.org packages for Debian [09:52] shaya did a set of them. === sjoerd__ [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:55] mdz: i imagine that would be a fair way off, by the time everyone from every architecture has sorted it out [09:55] daniels: for unstable, sure, but not for experimental [09:55] that reminds me to take a look at xorg on hppa. [09:55] mdz: IIRC, Branden didn't put 4.3.x into experimental until it was working on basically every architecture except hurd-i386 and sh. [09:56] kylem: if you want to throw me over a MANIFEST.hppa.in, and, for bonus points, *.install.hppa, I'll throw it in our packages [09:56] ok... err, does ubuntu intend to port to hppa or something? [09:56] not really [09:56] lamont is likely to do it at some point [09:57] but since they're currently basically the sole source for debian/ubuntu packaging, i figure having the hppa bling there would be neat ;) [09:57] fine, fine, heh. === kylem adds to his .todo :P [09:57] good man. [09:57] your leg is safe, at least for the time being. ;) === kylem thanks $deity for the atlantic ocean. :> === sjoerd__ [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:04] rookery (aka people.u.c)'s going down [10:11] back [10:14] hrm, jeff said on planet that people who ordered a lot of Ubuntu cds received display packs [10:14] I seem to have missed out on those [10:16] seb128: I think pygtk just broke due to new gtk or something. [10:19] yep [10:20] chrisa: >50 [10:21] daniels: I have 200 next to me [10:21] well, about 180 left [10:21] hm === sjoerd__ [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:21] hmm [10:21] ah, I just searched the box. Some of the cases I haven't opened do have them [10:21] I can reproducibly break nautilus [10:21] Carry on :) [10:23] python-parted's in the desktop seed?! [10:23] sheesh [10:23] guess I'd better fix it then, but I don't think it needs to be there [10:24] Kamion: yo, dude [10:24] Kamion: ide modules are in the bios, yeah? [10:24] Kamion: sideshow has an x40 here, and he can't install because it hasn't picked up his ide controller [10:24] Kamion: drivers/ide is suspiciously empty [10:24] Kamion: (this is a pxe install, mind) [10:25] Kamion: er [10:25] Kamion: imagine I never said 'ide modules are in the bios' [10:25] Kamion: are the ide drivers in the kernel (i.e. non-modular) in the installer? === sjoerd__ [sjoerd@fire.ipv6.luon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:27] daniels: they're modular [10:27] daniels: drivers/ide/ will be empty from the start of a netboot install; ide-modules is pulled in later over the network [10:28] Kamion: right, ta [10:28] Kamion: this doesn't seem to have happened [10:28] daniels: what stage of the install has it got to? [10:28] Kamion: it was part of the python-world phase [10:28] Kamion: partitioning [10:29] daniels: oh, also, what version of the installer is he using? if it's hoary and <= day or two ago, it won't work [10:29] Kamion: warty, yo [10:29] hmm [10:30] do me a favour, switch to tty2 and 'debconf-get mirror/suite' [10:32] daniels: I'll confess that I haven't netbooted warty since like forever, but fabbione tested it pre-release I believe === chrisa should set some of these ubuntu displays up in the Univ cs buildings and such [10:34] mkay, new python-parted uploaded, ubuntu-desktop/hoary should become installable again in a bit [10:38] Kamion: yeah, 'show I installed mine [10:39] Kamion: (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] daniels: ta. I'm around for maybe another hour and a half [10:42] Kamion: rad [10:42] doko, i want to create an ubuntu-hardened livecd, what's the man in charge of livecds? [10:42] it has just struck me how totally trivial it is to churn out bootable USB images that work the way I want [10:43] Kamion: it's working now [10:43] hmm [10:44] daniels: if it happens again I need /var/log/syslog [10:45] gah, this sucks, can't build Ubuntu d-i images on Debian any more [10:45] bloody parted [10:45] Kamion: will do, cheers [10:45] Kamion: oh, bugger. abi change? [10:45] uh-huh [10:46] sheez. [10:46] ah well, I have a million chroots lying around [10:49] Kamion: we ought to get the installed system booting from USB correctly, too [10:49] mdz: yeah [10:51] mdz: very painful on powerpc unfortunately [10:51] mdz: (but yes) [10:52] Kamion: oh? why particularly on powerpc? [10:52] mdz: IIRC joeyh has had debian-installer successfully booting from one USB stick and installing to another, so it shouldn't be too hard [10:52] installing to it is fairly straightforward, but getting it to boot afterward needs some work [10:53] mdz: 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 guesswork [10:53] either adding the necessary modules to the mkinitrd list, or moving hotplug into the initrd [10:53] (and therefore I don't see an easy way to modify ofpath to fix that problem) [10:53] hotplug-in-initrd really should happen anyway [10:53] hotplug-in-initrd sucks; found that out in d-i [10:53] oh? [10:53] having udevd start up before you've got around to running pivot_root is not good [10:54] if udevd weren't there it might just about be sane, although the race conditions still concern me [10:54] I think hotplug would need to be disabled around the pivot_root [10:54] and you'd have to wait for any running scripts to go away [10:54] I think hotplug-in-initrd is the way forward, though it has some issues to work out [10:55] my solution in d-i was to install hotplug as /sbin/hotplug.real and only enable it once the system is in a roughly sane state [10:55] I think you'd want to do something like that for hotplug-in-initrd; basically just use it as coldplugging, don't attempt true hotplug [10:56] lamont, ping [10:56] right [10:56] trulux: he's left for the airport [10:57] mdz, ok [10:57] it'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 filesystem [10:58] and as a bonus being able to pull the disk from one machine and put it into another, and have it still boot [10:58] mdz, how easy is to rebuild the whole ubuntu pkgs tree? wanna-build? [10:58] trulux: not very esay [10:58] easy [10:58] assuming you're talking about bootstrapping a new architecture [10:59] rather than just recompiling things for an existing one [10:59] recompiling for an existing one is fairly simple [10:59] (and if you are recompiling, why?) [10:59] mdz, why you say not "for an existing one" ? [10:59] mdz: pull the disk> assuming that grub does the right thing ... [10:59] trulux: if you are recompiling for i386, amd64, or powerpc, it's very easy [11:00] trulux: if you are recompiling everything on an architecture where ubuntu doesn't already run, it's hard [11:00] *gaehn* [11:01] daniels, i mean i386 [11:01]
