Kamionlamont: what's up with it?12:41
lamontloads of missing udebs, --> can't load installer components from CD12:41
Kamionyes, I just got a bug about that ...12:41
lamontaffects other CD's too?12:41
lamonteasy to fix?12:42
Kamiondoesn't affect current powerpc12:42
lamontdo you want a list?12:43
Kamioneasy to fix when I know what's wrong ... :)12:43
KamionI'd rather have a copy of /var/log/syslog12:43
lamontyeah - easier said that done, yes?12:43
Kamionyou have nc in busybox12:43
lamonthrm... how hard to mount a USB pen drive at that point?12:43
lamontah, nc is cool.12:43
Kamion#4940, BTW12:43
=== lamont goes to bludgeon
Kamionta12:44
lamontyeah, there's nc, but no network cards yet. :-(12:46
lamonttime to take advantage of /dev/ttyS012:47
lamontKamion: http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/ia64.syslog12:51
lamont( sh < /dev/ttyS0 > /dev/ttyS0 2>&1 is a powerful command... :-)12:52
KamionDec 23 16:37:50 main-menu[2068] : (process:5514): Segmentation fault12:52
Kamionwhoa?12:52
lamonthrm.12:52
lamontcommand line? and I'll go run it with strace or something.12:53
lamontstrace _is_ on the cd, yes?12:53
Kamionyeah, but probably won't work until libc6-udeb is installed12:54
Kamionudpkg -i that, then fish out strace. you don't get a command line, you'll have to find the main-menu process and strace -p it12:54
=== lamont ponders how complex it would be to give Kamion a login with serial console :-)
lamontanyway, back on momentarily12:55
=== lamont__ [~lamont@mix.mmjgroup.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Kamionlamont: hm ... you want to strace -f actually, sorry01:06
Kamionit's a child of main-menu that's segfaulting01:06
lamont__yeah01:12
lamont__figured that out.01:12
lamont__and I need to do things in the background at least a little, since there's no job control.01:12
Kamiondefinitely anna segfaulting, but why ...01:13
Kamionall that code is identical to Debian01:14
lamont__stracing shell scripts is _BORING_.01:15
Kamionyeah :)01:16
lamont__fwiw, there's a really nice tombstone that comes up for hundreds of milliseconds before getting cleared.01:19
lamont__otoh, serial console might make that not so bad...01:19
=== lamont__ boots agagin
lamont__at least, I hope it does....01:19
lamont__yep.01:20
lamont__serial here we come01:20
Kamionbeginning to think strace won't help much though, might be more a gdb job01:20
Kamionwhich would mean rebuilding anna with debug symbols ...01:20
lamont__I should have the tombstone shortly, at least01:21
lamont__just have to remember to boot serial console,  rather than vga.. :-(01:21
lamont__Kamion: btw, 12-22 daily ppc installed just fine, thank you.01:22
lamont__well, except for X not liking the display at all.01:22
lamont__WTH is daniels when I need to beat him, huh?01:22
Kamiontombstone?01:23
lamont__from the segv01:25
lamont__traceback01:25
Kamionthere must be some weird udeb involved here or something; the code runs fine on amd64, and on alpha/ia64 in Debian, so I don't think there are inherent 64-bit issues01:27
lamont__p.u.c/~lamont/boot.out01:29
lamont__firecall - should be back in about 30-40 min, I guess.01:29
Kamionhow do I decode that?01:30
Kamionassuming that the call trace is outermost-last, the last thing is a syscall entry ...01:30
danielslamont__: he's on holidays01:32
Kamionthere are some unlink() calls in install_modules(), mind you01:32
Kamionlamont__: strace might actually be useful; it would allow me to see whether there's any debconf interaction following the last log entry01:35

Kamionlamont__: calling udpkg presumably?02:11
lamont__yeah - but really slow because of the strace at 9600 baud :-(02:12
lamont__[pid  5753]  execve("/usr/bin/udpkg", ["udpkg", "--print-architecture"] , [/* 17 vars */] ) = 002:13
lamont__working through that one02:13
Kamionwouldn't it be better to strace -o /tmp/whatever and then nc that somewhere?02:13
lamont__no network02:14
lamont__we have to finish loading the installer modules before we load the network modules... :-(02:14
lamont__unless you want to tell me how to get a network that early?02:15
lamont__then we just have the small issue that I'm using that network cable...02:15
Kamionah, well it's possible with creative use of udpkg but it might perturb the problem02:16
lamont__yeah02:16
lamont__it doesn't help that I straced a bunch of stuff I didn't need to.. :-(02:17

lamont__there now02:26
lamont__pid 5514 is the child with issues, per syslog02:27
lamont__and that's not in the strace output at all.02:28
Kamionthere's no segv in that trace02:28
lamont__which could just mean that it ran fast enough to not get grabbed before it failed.02:28
KamionI think 5514 is just a shell that calls anna02:28
lamont__child processes run free until the parent gets the pid back.02:28
Kamionso, where's the crash?02:28
lamont__not in the trace02:29
lamont__it happened at 18:03:41, if there are any times in the strace...02:29
lamont__do you want one with -s large?02:31
lamont__although I doubt it'll tell you anything02:32
Kamionwhat did you strace?02:32
Kamionhm, main-menu from the looks of it02:33
lamont__would you like me to set up serial console access for you? (with a spare serial port)..02:33
lamont__strace -f -p <pid-of-main-menu>02:33

Kamionmdz: what's happened to all the debian/changelog entries between 0.5.32 and 0.6.27?03:40
mdzKamion: they were lost during the merge which brought the 0.6 branch up to date03:41
mdzthe history is still there in arch03:41
KamionI hope they'll be restored03:41
mdzmost of it isn't particularly relevant in the mainline changelog03:41
mdzand it's not entirely clear to me where in the changelog they should go03:42
mdzperhaps a separate file would be OK03:42
=== Kamion just always puts stuff in versioned order, people seem to cope
mdzyou mentioned that you had some ideas for branch representation in changelogs03:42
KamionI brought them up in one of the BOFs at Mataro03:43
Kamionbasically:03:43
Kamion{{{ branch to do something03:43
mdzyes, but we didn't get to seeing an example03:43
Kamion  apt (0.6.0) unstable; urgency=low03:43

Kamion}}}03:43
mdzthe way 0.6 worked, I was merging everything I did in 0.5.x into it for many versions03:44
mdzso they really were parallel03:44
Kamionsome notation around there to be clear about where you branched from, too03:44
Kamionah03:44
Kamionit's just very confusing to the casual skimmer of debian/changelog at the moment03:44
Kamionanyway :)03:44
mdzyes, the current changelog ended up slightly weird too03:44
mdzapt (0.6.26) unstable; urgency=low03:45

Kamionugh, mvo left a bunch of arch junk around in the source package03:45
mdzack03:45
mdzI thought I told him about debian/rules arch-build03:45
mdzI'll send mail03:45
Kamionoh wow, didn't realise apt-key was a shell script03:46
mdzperhaps I'll rewrite it in python-minimal :-)03:46
KamionI almost had a heart-attack earlier today when I thought we'd ended up putting the Essential flag on python2.4-minimal03:47
Kamionthen I remembered that python-minimal existed too, and relaxed03:47
mdzbut python-minimal isn't essential either, yet03:48
Kamionindeed03:49
ajKamion: having gpg on the install media was always too big an ask, otherwise sure, should be trivial03:53
calcKamion: so rewriting it all in python and going to get rid of perl-base from essential?03:54
Kamioncalc: don't expect that any time soon03:54
Kamionaj: I suspect we'll end up doing it, whether Debian do or not03:55
Kamionfor the cdrom gpg can go anywhere really, but for netboot it really has to be in the initrd ...03:55
Kamionsince you're getting all udebs after that from the network and you need to auth them03:55
Kamionand, of course, the netboot initrd needs to be signed with the archive key or something03:56
=== Kamion expects elmo will just love doing that on every byhand upload
Kamioncalc: basically Mark wants to be able to use python more or less anywhere feasible, and doesn't want that to be stopped by trivial little details like the shape of essential ;)03:57
calccool :)03:58
Kamioncalc: that's a bit different from rewriting a big load of code that works03:58
lamont__Kamion: any thought that the kernel could be playing with your head here?03:58
lamont__that is, should I drop said kernel on the sarge install that's there, and see what it does?03:58
Kamionlamont__: well, a segfault is a segfault; it was pretty clear in the original log03:58
Kamionthat probably won't work, kernel needs to match module udebs03:59
lamont__yeah - and clearly grabbing some text and using it as a pointer...03:59
Kamionkernel version needs to match module udeb versions, that is03:59
Kamionotherwise anna won't retrieve them03:59
lamont__Kamion: nah - I meant dropping linux-image-2.6.9 on the sarge box03:59
lamont__it already has sarge installed, you see...03:59
Kamionguess so, you could try it04:00

mvoogra: happy xmas01:01
ogra:)01:01
Kamionaj: this version of debootstrap does signature-checking only if you pass a --keyring=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg (etc.) argument; if you don't give it a keyring it doesn't do validation. Is that OK with you?01:01
sivangmvo,ogra : marry xmas01:02
KamionI figured that was the least invasive approach considering the wide variety of places where debootstrap is used01:02

Kamion Conflicts: python2.4 (<= 2.4-2)01:07
Kamion Replaces: python2.4 (<= 2.4-2)01:07
Kamiondoesn't that versioned conflicts make the upgrade stupendously painful?01:07
=== Kamion files a bug
Kamionmvo: what happens if a Release file is signed by multiple key ids? (katie's ziyi script supports this, although I don't know if it's used.) At the moment, it looks like a failed signature verification on any one of those signatures will make apt fall over, even if one of the signatures is valid.01:26
mvoKamion: I need to look at the code, don't know now. it's probably usefull to have more than one signature on the Release file01:31

Treenakslamont: hmm... libperl wrapped in python03:42
lamontTreenaks: just trying to find a variable definition in the perl mess for my python code to use... :)04:00

amulamont: ping, katie is too fast for me :) i'm upping a package with 5k the size of the orig.tar.gz is 5mb :)10:14
amuRejected: kdesdk_3.3.2-1ubuntu1.dsc refers to kdesdk_3.3.2.orig.tar.gz, but I10:14
amu+can't find it in the queue or in the pool.10:14
lamontthat's why you upload the orig.tar.gz, then the diff.gz, then the .dsc, then the .changes10:21
lamontor use dput10:21
lamonttruthfully, as long as the .changes is last, katie should wait for it.10:22
Kamionamu: you forgot to use -sa10:22
lamontKamion: well, that would be the other reason10:22
lamont:-)10:22
Kamionthere's no kdesdk_3.3.2.orig.tar.gz in the pool, and it only gets automatically included in the .changes if the revision part of the version is -0 or -110:23
Kamionyou should also probably use -0ubuntu1 rather than -1ubuntu1, I suspect10:23
Kamionso that 3.3.2-1 is considered newer10:23
lamontKamion: unless he's merging into 3.3.2-1, of course.10:24
Kamionwell, there's no 3.3.2-1 in Debian, but I guess it depends10:25
amuhehe yep now upping with dput and -sa ;) 10:27
amuoh my god line is too slow now10:28
sivanglamont: I am arguing with my dad, please tell me how much time it takes to travel in a car from Miami to Holywood ?10:41
lamontmiami to hollywood... hrm... call it ~3000 miles give or take.10:41
sivanglamont: also, he has just discovered keyhole :) He thinks they are close like the train station to Mataro :)10:42
lamontyour average sane person would therefore take about 3 days of solid driving (averaging 50 miles per hour, or 1200 miles per day)  If you're willing to just make it 'stop for gas', you could drop that to around 2 days10:42
lamontassuming that you have drivers to switch off.10:42
lamontif you have family with you, plan on at least a week, or no sex after that.10:44

wasabi_I assume there has been discussion about whether or not to officially support Mono in Hoary? Trying to find some conversations. ;)10:47
=== ogra [~ogra@p508EA57A.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzwasabi_: yes, there has10:53
wasabi_yes, no, maybe so?10:53
mdzthe consensus, as I recall, was that "mono" was not a first-class thing which should be supported, but that if there were mono applications we should support, they would pull in the mono stuff10:53
mdzjdub has details10:53
wasabi_Hmm. Sucky. =(10:53
sivangmdz: I thknk that's the best approach10:54
sivangmdz: this is the state currently right? I do have tomboy running...:)10:54
mdzwasabi_: pardon?10:54
wasabi_hmm?10:54
jancwasabi_ : just write a first-class thing which they need...  ;-)10:54
wasabi_I think that sucks.10:54
wasabi_I don't think you're going to get any cool apps written until people stop having to go through hell to install it. ;)10:55
wasabi_Especially given the less technical aspect of programming useful C# apps.10:55
mdzI'm fairly certain there are already useful applications written, and packaged in universe even10:55
mdzand it's quite likely that we'll decide to support some of them for Hoary10:56
wasabi_well that's cool then.10:56
mdzso your attitude is doubly unnecessary10:56
sivangwasabi_: what is so good in c# that python don't have?10:56
wasabi_im not getting into that.10:56
mdzsivang: they're quite different10:56
sivangwasabi_: I would suffice for a link to enlighten me :)10:57
wasabi_mdz, sorry then... b ut that's a bit how I feel. I sort of see "java support", or ".net support" as something you could support, for hte good of ISVs10:57
wasabi_But then, im not on your side of the fence, and have no idea. ;)10:57
wasabi_sivang, what does perl offer over python?10:57
=== sivang prefer java beans only in coffe :)
sivangwasabi_:  huh?10:58
wasabi_it's just as valid of a question as yours was, really.10:59
calchow are the java clones doing?11:07
wasabi_not too good imo11:10
wasabi_no way they can keep up11:11
calcyea :\11:11
wasabi_not enough interest being generated.11:11
calcmono seems to be doing much better since clr/etc is standardized11:11
wasabi_yeah.11:11
wasabi_i might say that it seems like the community is more focused.11:11
wasabi_I mean, java is very well understood.11:11
wasabi_I guess it probably has to do a lot with all the people who really need java on linux, just use sun's vm.11:12
wasabi_ms.net ain't gonna run on linux. ;011:12
calcyea11:13
wasabi_I guess im fine with that. I don't mind.11:13
wasabi_I wish sun had better redist rights.11:13
calceven if it was redistributable couldn't use it for anything in a dist11:13
wasabi_very few people actually write linux apps in java.11:14
calcsince it would still be stuck in non-free as opposed to not even being in there11:14
wasabi_they write java apps.11:14
wasabi_yeah. Well.. we have enough free stuff to write real dist programs with.11:14
wasabi_GCJ is fine, Classpath is Good Enough.11:14
wasabi_Java-gnome rounds out the GUI.11:14
calcok11:14
wasabi_BUt, the stuff I use it for, it's not adequite for.11:15
wasabi_ejb, tomcat, etc.11:15
wasabi_i did the mono remoting example yesterday, and almost died. =(11:15
wasabi_equivilent of at least 100 lines of java.11:15
wasabi_in like, 2.11:15
ogra<wasabi_> sivang, what does perl offer over python?11:17
ograwasabi_: its more mature11:17
wasabi_ogra, doesn't noticible effect any apps.11:17
ograwasabi_: you find it in smaller environments where py doesnt fit11:17
wasabi_noticibly11:17
ograwasabi_: and i think it currently has the wider list  of modules.....11:18
calcperl offers obsfucation too :)11:18
ograbut that will change eventually11:18
wasabi_ogra, then why are ubuntu apps prefered in python? (read that sompleace)11:18
ograwasabi_: python is great... i dont say perl is better...but has some advantages....11:19
ograas py has :)11:19
wasabi_well, you just renforce my C# thing.11:19
wasabi_it's good for some things python isn't, but they can all pretty much get the same jobs done11:19
ograyep.... you can do it also in C or assembler ....11:20
wasabi_im a fan of presenting people with the widest array of tools. Differnet tools for different people.11:20
wasabi_And if all those people develop for your platform, you're better than if only a subset did.11:20
ograor code it in 1 and 0 if aou are _really_ smart11:20
ograoh, another one for perl.... loads of debian is perl based as perl was the traditional script lang for years there11:21
ograeven this will change slowly in ubuntu i guess11:22
