| mako | comments before i send this to thombot? | 12:01 |
|---|---|---|
| mdz | mako: why are the install CDs bold, but not the live CD? | 12:02 |
| mako | because you made them that way? | 12:02 |
| mako | i think it's a plone stylsheet thing | 12:02 |
| mako | because the tope ones are <dt> and the bottom one i just a link | 12:02 |
| mako | i can bold the bottom one too | 12:02 |
| crimsun | it might also be useful to succinctly note if the live cd differs from the installation cd | 12:03 |
| mako | mdz: ok.. fixed | 12:05 |
| mako | i think that looks quite nice actually :) | 12:05 |
| mdz | mako: looks TOTALLY FRICKIN AWESOME | 12:05 |
| pitti | mako: why is there only a link to the amd64 cd? | 12:06 |
| mdz | mako: fwiw, I think you might be able to hand it to Kamion, if he comes around before thom | 12:06 |
| mako | pitti: because that's not hte archive.. that's just a file i touched to make sure the directory index showed up and looked ok | 12:06 |
| elmo | mdz: do you happen to have flac somewhere that has a Sources.gz ? | 12:06 |
| pitti | mako: ah, ok | 12:06 |
| elmo | if not, don't worry | 12:07 |
| ogra | mako: nice page :) | 12:07 |
| mako | ogra: most credit goes to mdz | 12:07 |
| ogra | pitti: click it, its quite a small iso ;) | 12:08 |
| mdz | elmo: I don't, but I could do it trivially | 12:09 |
| mdz | mako,ogra: my design skills suck; all the credit goes to the plone CSS | 12:09 |

| elmo | I've also disabled syncing for now - I'll fix it to still update MOM tomorrow | 12:11 |

| pitti | night everybody | 12:13 |
| mdz | elmo: perfect, thanks | 12:13 |
| mdz | pitti: night | 12:13 |
| ogra | pitti: night | 12:13 |
| mdz | ogra: was your network interface detected on the live CD? | 12:19 |
| ogra | yup, both :-D | 12:20 |
| ogra | prism2 11mbit and a e100 onboard | 12:20 |
| amu | mdz: ethernet yes, ipw2200 no | 12:20 |
| mdz | ok, so this is a problem with the non-monolithic build | 12:21 |
| mdz | it looks like busybox depmod is broken | 12:21 |
| mjt | in what way it is broken? | 12:24 |
| mjt | it does not look at /lib/modules/../modules.alias, and it does not handle *?[] wildcards in aliases | 12:25 |
| mjt | and it does not check if a module is already loaded... and it does not transform - into _ as module-init-tools depmod does. | 12:25 |
| mjt | Anything else? ;) | 12:25 |
| mjt | er | 12:25 |
| mjt | s/depmod/modprobe/. stupid /me ;) | 12:26 |
| mjt | (i don't expect depmod in busybox to work at all) | 12:26 |
| mdz | mjt: depmod | 12:27 |
| mjt | yeah -- that's why i said i'm stupid ;) | 12:27 |
| mdz | it doesn't seem to update the map files | 12:28 |
| mjt | it does not know about them | 12:28 |
| mdz | at least not completely | 12:28 |
| mjt | just avoid using it, use real depmod from m.i.t. | 12:28 |
| mjt | ;) | 12:28 |
| elmo | oh, that's cool, I don't need to do anything for the MOM stuff - it's already separate | 12:29 |
| mdz | is it already part of the udeb? | 12:29 |
| mjt | depmod? Should it? | 12:30 |
| mjt | i mean, there's no real need to use depmod "from" d-i, is it? | 12:30 |
| mdz | how does it work presently? | 12:31 |
| mdz | is depmod run ahead of time and placed in one of the udebs? | 12:31 |
| mdz | (its output) | 12:31 |
| mjt | no idea ;) | 12:31 |
| mdz | in d-i, the modules are split up into many udebs | 12:31 |
| mdz | I'm not sure where the modules.dep and friends come from | 12:32 |
| mdz | gah, just discovered that the version of alsa-base on the image is missing the unmuting code | 12:32 |
| mdz | particularly annoying for the live CD | 12:32 |
| mdz | lamont: how are things on your front? | 12:33 |
| chrisa | dato: heard from julian yet? | 12:33 |
| === chrisa feels silly | ||
| mjt | mdz: i really dunno how it works now. but i think it's pretty simple to either get real depmod (there should be udeb for mit, as busybox module stuff is quite.. problematic on 2.6 kernel anyway), OR by providing partial modules.*map files in kernel udebs | 12:35 |
| mdz | yes, there is a udeb | 12:35 |
| mdz | I don't think it makes sense to try to provide partial ones and merge them | 12:35 |
| mdz | I'm just wondering how this ever worked | 12:35 |
| mjt | using discover to determine which modules to load? | 12:36 |
| mjt | (instead of those .*map files) | 12:36 |
| mdz | I mean now | 12:37 |
| mdz | in hoary | 12:37 |
| mdz | this has worked for me | 12:37 |
| mdz | but on this test image, my ethernet driver isn't even listed in pcimap | 12:37 |
| mjt | btw, now modules.*map files may be declared obsolete it seems, because of modules.alias which holds everything in *map files | 12:37 |
| mjt | (and more) | 12:38 |
| mdz | it does not hold everything in pcimap | 12:38 |
| mdz | at least not in 2.6.10 | 12:38 |
| mjt | too bad i never ever installed debian or ubuntu (but use debian for several years now) | 12:38 |
| jdub | elmo: ping | 12:38 |

| azeem | karim: that's a question for #ubuntu | 12:39 |
| mdz | mjt: what's ambiguous about "everything"? | 12:39 |
| mdz | there is information in pcimap which is not in modules.alias | 12:39 |
| karim | azeem: that will not be answered there | 12:39 |

| lifeless | cause I'm gonna nag you about davis. | 12:43 |
| jdub | changelog date for that package is like, 22nd or something ;) | 12:43 |

| Kamion | if this were happening on the install CD, installs would not be working correctly | 02:08 |
| mdz | I only see /sbin/depmod which points to busybox | 02:08 |
| Kamion | it just overwrites the busybox one | 02:08 |
| mdz | ok, then it's not in the initrd | 02:08 |
| mdz | ohhh | 02:08 |
| mdz | I unpacked a new busybox-cvs over it | 02:08 |
| mdz | because I needed the new version | 02:08 |

| mdz | instead of linux-386 | 02:30 |
| lamont | linux-image-2.6.9-1-386 should depend restricted-modules? or I need to install both? | 02:31 |
| lamont | running with both | 02:32 |
| mdz | you need to install both | 02:33 |
| mdz | the linux-386 metapackage is there to tie image and restricted-modules together | 02:33 |

| mdz | yes | 02:52 |
| lamont | why does it start in the DC when I debootstrap it, but not on my home machine, even in a chroot? | 02:53 |
| lamont | it's not running outside the chroot in the DC either, if that means anything | 02:55 |
| mdz | I wouldn't expect it to start in either case | 02:56 |
| lamont | I _suppose_ I could see if it was running before I start, and then kill it if it wasn't... But that's just plain _UGLY_ | 02:56 |

| mdz | Keybuk: doesn't running udevstart cause udevd to be started? | 02:59 |
| Keybuk | mdz: no, udevstart runs udev directly | 02:59 |
| lamont | udevd winds up owning chroot/chroot/dev, and things get sicker from there | 03:00 |
| Keybuk | udevd gets started on the first event that doesn't happen through udevstart | 03:00 |
| Keybuk | (at least that's how it was a couple of weeks ago) | 03:00 |
| lamont | I can't imagine any events for udevd in the DC machine... | 03:00 |
| lamont | Keybuk: I need to wind up with udev installed, but not actually _doing_ anything until the _NEXT_ reboot... is painful? | 03:01 |
| lamont | mdz: I think the 'see if it's running and kill it afterwards if it wasn't' trick is starting to sound more sane... | 03:02 |
| mdz | Keybuk: nothing should be triggering events within the chroot, surely | 03:03 |
| mdz | lamont: anything a good fuser -mk wouldn't cure? | 03:04 |

| lamont | that is, livecd.cloop is the start of that filesystem, do we care what it's size/numinodes is? | 04:01 |
| lamont | are, even | 04:01 |
| mdz | it should be as small as possible while still containing everything we want | 04:02 |
| mdz | the absolute upper bound is about 620M or so | 04:03 |
| mdz | but that would leave no room for the opencd stuff at all | 04:03 |
| mdz | doesn't matter how many inodes it has | 04:03 |
| mdz | er | 04:03 |
| lamont | it's currently a 1500000*1024 byte file, with default numinodes. | 04:03 |

| lamont | ok | 04:07 |
| mdz | lamont: I would like an updated image, but can't you build it at the DC? | 04:07 |
| daniels | mdz: if you export XORGFORCEPROBE (or whatever it is) and run dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg, you should get a decent approximation of what you want | 04:08 |

| daniels | mdz: i'm sitting on a beta of fglrx now with xorg, amd64, and proper pcie support | 04:09 |
| daniels | as well as a hojillion bugfixes | 04:09 |
| crimsun | mdz: out of curiosity, the flac 1.1.1-2 packages in incoming requires all packages to be rebuilt against the new libflac-dev, correct? | 04:10 |
| mdz | daniels: l-r-m is a breakage that needs to be fixed | 04:10 |
| mdz | crimsun: requires in what way? | 04:11 |
| crimsun | mdz: I have a libFLAC++.so.4 and a libFLAC.so.6 (and their corresponding dev symlinks). Thus the packages that rely on the existence of libFLAC.so.4 need to be recompiled? | 04:12 |
| crimsun | (e.g., the soname bump for the C++ wrapper makes sense; I'm just trying to ensure I'm not missing any strange symlinks) | 04:13 |
| mdz | oh, I see what you mean | 04:14 |
| mdz | normally, this wouldn't be a problem, except for the mistake | 04:14 |
| mdz | so there is no valid libflac4 package anymore | 04:14 |
| mdz | so yes, everything needs to be recompiled | 04:15 |
| crimsun | gotcha, thanks muchly. | 04:15 |
| daniels | mdz: yes. i have 2.6.10-1 now pretty much ready to go and will upload that very soon, but after that there's a new fglrx (i.e. 2.6.10.1-1) | 04:17 |
| daniels | mdz: so we'll have lrm 2.6.10 today, but i can't release new fglrx until next week or such | 04:18 |
| mdz | daniels: what bugs does the new fglrx fix? | 04:22 |
| daniels | mdz: a) lack of amd64 support, b) lack of xorg support (i.e. complete no-go for hoary), c) many rendering issues (i.e. random polygons, crashes, and random misshapen textures) in a fair few games, e) adds support for pci express cards | 04:24 |
| stub | I need to get postgresql-contrib moved to main for hoary. We are using it internally in launchpad for full text indexing. | 04:25 |
| daniels | mdz: unfortunately, being binary, i don't have total visibility into the driver, but from what I've seen of the feedback on the list so far, it seems to be quite solid and far more reliable than the old | 04:26 |
| lamont | mdz: of course, the image would be bigger if I didn't 'apt-get clean' before building it... :-) | 04:28 |
| mdz | daniels: lack of l-r-m 2.6.10 is blocking lamont's work on building live cd stuff, so be sure to get it in today | 04:39 |

| mdz | resolv.conf gets fixed up for us too | 04:45 |
| lamont | base-installer does a dpkg-reconfigure of postfix, iirc. | 04:45 |

| lamont | that was the question I had earlier - they do inherit what we gave them, then? | 04:50 |

| sivang | jdub: you poor thing..go get some timtams and tea! :) | 07:28 |
| jdub | oof | 07:28 |
| === sivang is _crazy_ about timtams | ||
| sivang | jdub: is it ever winter in sydney ? | 07:31 |
| jdub | yeah | 07:32 |
| jdub | our seasons are very different | 07:33 |
| sivang | jdub: I see, does it switch nicely comparing to our seasons? | 07:33 |
| sivang | I mean, when it's winter for me, summer for you and the other way around? | 07:33 |
| jdub | yes | 07:34 |
| sivang | jdub: cool :-) | 07:42 |
| daniels | mmm, food | 07:54 |
| daniels | jdub: xsun is very quick. we can get the X server starting blindingly quickly on proper hardware (e.g. Radeons, nVidias -- most everything except i8xx). | 07:55 |
| sladen | daniels: I'm wondering if to a certain point that can be disguised. How much of the setup delay is detection before any of the registers are actually changed? | 07:58 |
| daniels | sladen: not much -- that part is pretty quick, except we're now slamming /proc with about 15,000 opens | 07:59 |
| daniels | that's a bit of a cpu load, so i'm looking to optimise that | 07:59 |
| sladen | errrrrm ? | 07:59 |
| sladen | why's it hitting /proc, is X not content with holding /dev/mem open? | 08:00 |
| daniels | sladen: probing /proc/pci | 08:01 |
| daniels | but instead of using readdir(), it attempts to open every possible combination of bus/device/subdevice | 08:01 |
| sladen | duuuuude... | 08:02 |
| daniels | yes, I know | 08:02 |
| daniels | it's in 6.8 branch | 08:03 |
| daniels | it fixes a problem with pci domains, to be fair | 08:03 |
| daniels | but yeah, I have plans to fix it | 08:03 |
| daniels | but not right now | 08:03 |

| Treenaks | no.. | 10:15 |
| cartman | funny A+sup-2 | 10:15 |
| Treenaks | anyway, UTF-8 looks like that if you treat it as Latin1 | 10:16 |

| fabbione | is there any point in the module being unloaded the first time? | 11:01 |
| ogra | fabbione: not to my knowing..... | 11:01 |
| fabbione | ok | 11:01 |
| fabbione | i will need to add more debugging stuff | 11:01 |
| ogra | fabbione: it should stay loaded... | 11:01 |
| fabbione | because at the first load | 11:02 |
| fabbione | the module automatically unloads | 11:02 |
| elmo | daniels: done | 11:02 |
| ogra | fabbione: probably its the load order | 11:02 |
| fabbione | it shouldn't | 11:02 |
| elmo | daniels: and I did do it, last time you didn't ask for linux-header-* is all, so I only installed the top level package | 11:02 |
| daniels | elmo: thanks dude | 11:02 |

| fabbione | ogra: see.. it loads but later it unloads again | 11:03 |
| ogra | fabbione: yup... | 11:03 |
| fabbione | the error mostlikely is that the module does not de-register itself from mISDN core | 11:03 |
| fabbione | and at the second load you can see the oops when it walks the device/module lists | 11:03 |
| daniels | ARGH | 11:03 |
| fabbione | meaning that the last entry hasn't been freed properly | 11:03 |

| cartman | : undefined reference to `XF86VidModeQueryVersion' | 11:58 |
| cartman | rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a solves it but I think somehow nvidia-glx package is responsible for this mess | 11:58 |
| Kamion | cartman: do you have libxxf86vm-dev installed? | 12:00 |
| cartman | let me check | 12:00 |
| cartman | nope | 12:00 |
| cartman | some package is missing "depends" I guess? | 12:00 |
| Kamion | no idea | 12:00 |
| daniels | cartman: you need to link with -lXxf86vm | 12:01 |
| daniels | nvidia-glx has a weap dep on libXxf86vm, it seems | 12:01 |
| daniels | which totally sucks. | 12:01 |
| Kamion | if kde/mplayer use XF86VidModeQueryVersion themselves, then they need to build-depend on libxxf86vm-dev | 12:01 |
| cartman | problem on my side then | 12:01 |
| daniels | Kamion: it's from libGL.a tho | 12:01 |
| daniels | Kamion: which would be bizzare. because Xxf86vm was static for the longest time, and still is by default. | 12:02 |

| pitti | elmo: second, we only make source uploads to Ubuntu, so this should not be a problem anyway, right? | 12:36 |
| trulux | pitti: better to call it gcc-hardened | 12:36 |
| elmo | pitti: every binary gets linked to a SSP lib? | 12:36 |
| pitti | trulux: -hardened is fine for me too | 12:36 |
| pitti | elmo: yes | 12:36 |
| mdz | morning | 12:36 |
| trulux | pitti: ok then | 12:36 |
| trulux | hey mdz | 12:36 |
| pitti | Hi mdz! | 12:36 |
| elmo | err, please don't call it hardened | 12:37 |
| pitti | trulux: TIA! I look forward to see the packages | 12:37 |
| elmo | the propaganda campaign doesn't need to extend to package names | 12:37 |
| trulux | mdz: i have your doc: http://wiki.debian-hardened.org/Development_layout_organization | 12:37 |
| elmo | please call it what it actually is | 12:37 |
| pitti | -ssp says what it is probabl | 12:37 |
| pitti | y | 12:37 |
| trulux | pitti: ok, today i'm a bit sleepy, i just slept 3 hours, i was testing the TPE all the night | 12:37 |
| pitti | mdz: we now have upstream freeze, right? | 12:37 |
| mdz | pitti: yes | 12:37 |
| trulux | elmo, what propaganda? | 12:38 |
| pitti | mdz: today a new hal bugfix version 0.4.4 was released which fixes some segfaults and a regression in 0.4.3 | 12:38 |
| mdz | trulux: I don't know what that document is about | 12:38 |
| pitti | mdz: the changelog is relatively small | 12:38 |
| pitti | mdz: I can backport the patches or shall I just package the new upstream version (after auditign the diff)? | 12:38 |
| mdz | pitti: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UpstreamVersionFreeze | 12:38 |
| mdz | Exceptions requiring confirmation: | 12:38 |
| mdz | Minor fixes, if the upstream change is a micro-increment (or equivalent) | 12:38 |
| Kamion | trulux: "hardened" is essentially an advertising term, not a description of what it actually is :) | 12:38 |
| trulux | mdz: is about the development layout i commented, the infrasctructure that needs to be done | 12:39 |
| trulux | Kamion: hardened means a hardened toolchain, even hardened gentoo uses it and so on | 12:39 |
| trulux | ;) | 12:39 |
| pitti | mdz: exactly, point 2 seems to fit | 12:39 |
| pitti | mdz: so I hereby ask for permission | 12:40 |
| mdz | pitti: go for it | 12:40 |
| pitti | okay, thanks | 12:40 |
| trulux | pitti: so, what's your final decision? -ssp or -hardened? | 12:41 |
| pitti | trulux: does it contain anything else apart from ssp by now? | 12:42 |
| trulux | ssp would distract users of know about PIE and so on | 12:42 |
| trulux | PIE | 12:42 |
| trulux | comes by default in 3.4 but not in 3.3 | 12:42 |
| pitti | I thought PIE was just a consequence (or arequirement) of ssp | 12:42 |
| trulux | it's not | 12:42 |
| trulux | PIE is for PaX ASLR | 12:42 |
| trulux | not for ssp | 12:42 |
| pitti | pie itself is not a security feature IIRC | 12:42 |
| pitti | oh right | 12:42 |
| pitti | but still, it is a means to support a feature, not a sec feature itself | 12:43 |
| trulux | PIE is used as a security feature | 12:43 |
| trulux | developed as it | 12:43 |
| pitti | trulux: since this is meant to be an experimental package only, -ssp is fine for me | 12:43 |
| trulux | let me try to bring here psm | 12:43 |
| mdz | trulux: what I asked for was a document describing what resources you needed in order to do a proof-of-concept derivative of Ubuntu using SSP, and what you are showing me is a document which describes the CVS repository layout for debian-hardened | 12:45 |
| mdz | I don't understand | 12:45 |
| mjg59 | daniels: Oh, rock | 12:45 |
| mjg59 | Can you get that into Hoary? | 12:45 |
| trulux | mdz: ok, let me write a section about it | 12:46 |
| pitti | trulux: just write a plain ASCII file, which only contains the necessary resources | 12:46 |
| trulux | mdz: i just have a server specs doc for a sponsorship that is going to start (with Tek, they sponsor Gentoo) | 12:46 |
| trulux | pitti: ok | 12:46 |
| pitti | trulux: i. e. separate archive, buildd support, modified toolchain in the buildd (-ssp), etc. | 12:47 |
| mdz | pitti is on the right track | 12:47 |
| pitti | trulux: also, team structure | 12:47 |
| pitti | trulux: who is responsible for what, future plans (eventual merge into Hoary+1 if successful, etc.) | 12:48 |

| psm | hello all, what are the questions about pie? | 12:52 |
| pitti | psm: PIE itself is no security feature right? | 12:52 |
| pitti | psm: as far as I understood it supports PaX memory randomization and stuff | 12:53 |
| psm | PIE is like a shared lib, loadable to any address | 12:53 |
| pitti | right | 12:53 |
| mdz | Kamion: did you receive my email with casper? | 12:53 |
| psm | if the addresses are randomized, you'll get it loaded each time at diff addresses | 12:54 |

| fabbione | daniels: in any case.. -5 stuff | 01:33 |
| thom | mdz: the case you suggest for fsck would require each individual fsck to learn how to check for being on ac, i think | 01:33 |
| Kamion | elmo: if I could have rescue-{check,mode}, casper-{check,udeb}, and the 2.6.10 udebs in main, I can do new d-i with all of this stuff ... | 01:34 |
| thom | or the fsck wrapper, certainly | 01:34 |

| mdz | thom: on_ac_power is guaranteed not to do anything stupid on a server, right? | 01:34 |
| seb128 | kent: yes | 01:35 |
| Kamion | mdz: netcfg's the only useful thing in base-installer.d AFAIK; maybe we could invent a casper.d which casper-udeb runs? | 01:35 |
| mdz | Kamion: the notion of having gobs of other udebs knowing about casper isn't very appealing | 01:35 |
| Kamion | I like that notion, actually | 01:35 |
| Kamion | it's a lot better than casper knowing about the internals of gobs of other udebs, which is what we have now | 01:36 |
| mdz | Kamion: I was thinking that prebaseconfig.d could be broken up | 01:36 |

| Kamion | mdz: I wondered about using /dev/ram0; doesn't the installer already use that for its own ramdisk? | 01:39 |
| fabbione | i have not even idea of what it is after reading a few tons of documentation stuff | 01:40 |
| fabbione | it reorders all the VM in more layer | 01:40 |

| fabbione | no way i will understand that in 20 years from now ;) | 01:40 |
| Kamion | that's what I meant, the initrd | 01:40 |
| mdz | fabbione: ok, let's not backport major new features that we don't understand, ok? ;-) | 01:40 |
| Kamion | "newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for the initrd" <- Documentation/devices.txt | 01:40 |
| mdz | fascinating | 01:41 |
| mdz | gah, nightly backup is running | 01:41 |
| mdz | Kamion: I think d-i actually copies itself into a tmpfs | 01:42 |
| Kamion | mdz: the /dev/vc stuff is a bit nightmarish, hopefully that'll go away when we eventually switch the installer to non-devfs paths | 01:42 |
| Kamion | mdz: oh, so it does, good point | 01:42 |
| Kamion | yes, and it umounts the initrd afterwards, so you're ok | 01:42 |
| mdz | Kamion: we still need to find a clever way to let us unmount the d-i tmpfs | 01:42 |

| Kamion | urgh, badly written documentation | 02:08 |
| Kamion | "When posix is not true (default), the shlex instance will operate in compatibility mode." | 02:08 |
| mvo_ | mdz: what's our policy with merges that only require a sync from debian (because debian took the changes from us)? #3518 is such a case. do we sync them? or ignore the because of upstream-version-freeze | 02:08 |
| Kamion | is that "not (true (default))" or "(not true) (default)"? | 02:08 |
| elmo | kamion the latter | 02:09 |
| mdz | mvo_: if the debian version doesn't contain other things that we don't want, a sync is fine | 02:09 |
| elmo | Kamion: I guess | 02:09 |
| Kamion | turns out it's the latter, but then they should say "false (default)" | 02:09 |
| daniels | Kamion: i'd say the latter | 02:09 |
| daniels | yeah | 02:09 |
| mvo_ | mdz: it's a new upstream version that was not synced automatically | 02:10 |
| mdz | Kamion: where do you think I should move the CD to? | 02:12 |
| daniels | mdz: l-r-m 2.6.10-1 uploading now | 02:12 |
| mdz | Kamion: I was thinking /media/cdrom0, but there's no particular guarantee that it's cdrom0, or even a cdrom | 02:12 |
| daniels | well, l-r-m-2.6.10 2.6.10-1 | 02:12 |
| mdz | daniels: thanks | 02:12 |
| mvo_ | elmo: can you please sync "scim"? all our changes are now in the debian package (merge bug #3518) | 02:12 |
| mdz | lamont: ^^^ | 02:12 |
| elmo | [NOT Updating - Modified] scim_0.9.7-1ubuntu1 (vs 1.0.1-4) | 02:13 |

| daniels | mdz: i live to give | 02:14 |
| elmo | mvo: yeah, but look at the version numbers? | 02:14 |
| mdz | mvo_: that's a universe package anyway | 02:15 |
| mvo_ | mdz: so we ignore it and leave it at 0.9.7-1ubuntu1? | 02:15 |

| mvo_ | yes. I'll just leave it alone then | 02:17 |

| elmo | fuck. even burning with cdrecord didn't work. what kind of freaks don't provide md5sums of iso's anyways | 02:22 |

| daniels | elmo: what are you trying to burn? | 02:23 |
| Kamion | mdz: that would be on the live CD only, wouldn't it? | 02:23 |
| elmo | daniels: latest Update Xpress CD | 02:23 |
| elmo | IBM's "all in one" firmware/driver etc. update CD | 02:23 |
| mdz | Kamion: the live CD should default to it; the live+install DVD should have an option :-) | 02:23 |
| Kamion | the latter doesn't exist yet though ;) | 02:24 |
| Kamion | I'll add it commented out for the moment | 02:24 |
| mdz | kent: it's a bug, it's reported already | 02:24 |
| Kamion | and eventually make it DVD-only | 02:24 |
| Kamion | fabbione: (or should I file a bug?) | 02:26 |
| mdz | Kamion: I need something to use for testing, is all | 02:26 |
| mdz | easiest would be if I only had to drop /casper/ onto an install CD | 02:27 |

| Kamion | there are plenty of machines that have CD drives but can't boot from them | 02:37 |
| Kamion | booting from floppy is a common workaround | 02:37 |

| cartman | libGL.so.1.2 | 02:39 |
| mdz | it should be able to find filesystem images and COW overlays on hard disks, USB devices, etc. | 02:39 |

| stockholm | ah | 02:46 |
| daniels | mdz: if you do it through the dock, I don't think it comes up as USB | 02:46 |
| mdz | daniels: oh, is the dock standard equipment? | 02:46 |
| stockholm | mdz: do you know if there is interest in having python bindings for kerberos? there is a project started on alioth, but it needs some work and love to be usefull | 02:46 |
| mdz | I assume X40s can boot from USB anyway (my T42 can) | 02:46 |
| daniels | mdz: nope, it's $$ | 02:47 |
| mdz | I even booted it from a CF card in a USB card reader | 02:47 |
| daniels | mdz: yeah, it can boot from USB in any case | 02:47 |
| Kamion | mdz: awkward to achieve, unfortunately. I was thinking about having a legend at the top-left corner of the screen to say that you're in rescue mode or in live CD mode or whatever ... | 02:47 |
| mdz | stockholm: yeah, I imagine there is, kerberos being a windows interoperability thing now | 02:47 |

| Kamion | daniels: oh, if et is set there won't be any tab characters in the file | 02:50 |

| daniels | Kamion: ahr, that was it -- thanks | 02:50 |
| daniels | Kamion: no, this was me putting in new tabs :) | 02:50 |
| daniels | Kamion: what's the difference between ts and sts? | 02:51 |

| daniels | elmo: please NEW l-r-m-2.6.10 as a matter of priority -- lamont and mdz's livecd is blocking on it | 02:52 |

| ogra_ | mvo: and leaving mISDN for the next release.... | 03:10 |
| Kamion | mdz: ok, fair enough then | 03:10 |
| mdz | I think we can at least shed linux-source-2.6.8.1 | 03:10 |
| mdz | probably kernel-source-2.2.25 | 03:11 |
| mvo_ | ogra_: I think doko asked for permission from avm to distribute the avm drivers | 03:11 |

| mdz | pitti: I don't know to what extent Debian is still patching 2.4.27 | 03:12 |

| mdz | pitti: 2.6? | 03:14 |
| mvo_ | ogra_: I haven't tested i4l and 2.6.10 yet | 03:14 |

| mdz | right | 03:14 |
| pitti | mdz: but I guess Ubuntu doesn't | 03:14 |
| ogra_ | mvo: ok, i will do some basic testing on the weekend then :) if i encounter probs i'll shout | 03:15 |

| pitti | mdz: right now | 03:20 |
| pitti | mdz: I looked at the last two changelog entries | 03:20 |
| Kamion | pitti: judging from my cron mail, gluck was brought down, I'm guessing for a kernel upgrade or something | 03:20 |
| mdz | Kamion: I'd like to add a progress bar to casper; what's a good example to work from? | 03:21 |
| mdz | pitti: I meant with regard to packages.d.o ;-) | 03:21 |
| pitti | mdz: ah; no, right now; worked fine yesterday | 03:21 |

| Kamion | mdz: it's very easy, try yaboot-installer or something if it's just stepping through a known list of tasks | 03:21 |
| pitti | mdz: luckily we have mvo's changelogs at people.u.c :-) | 03:22 |
| mdz | Kamion: the only bit I'm uncertain about is where it runs the prebaseconfig hooks | 03:22 |
| mdz | Kamion: I suppose it should count them at the start and incorporate that count into the progress bar? | 03:22 |
| Kamion | mdz: yes, you could look at how the prebaseconfig progress bar itself works | 03:22 |
| Kamion | it would be best not to use run-parts then, so that you can step the progress bar properly | 03:23 |
| mdz | since it runs locale-gen and stuff, that is actually the longest bit I think | 03:23 |
| Kamion | or at least not to use the one from /target | 03:23 |
| mdz | that, and waiting for udev to create device nodes | 03:23 |
| mdz | we really should find out why that sucks so much | 03:23 |

| mdz | lamont: also, it would be really handy to be notified of failures in your daily desktop builds; can you arrange for those to go someplace useful? | 03:35 |
| Xof | ah, lamont | 03:35 |
| Xof | I've been told it's you I should speak to about sbcl build failures? | 03:35 |
| lamont | Xof: patches welcome | 03:36 |
| mdz | whoa, #5271 seems to trigger some bug in debzilla | 03:36 |
| mdz | Kamion: is it possible that some comments in debbugs have no message-ids? | 03:36 |
| Kamion | wouldn't surprise me | 03:37 |
| Xof | lamont: that attitude doesn't impress me very much | 03:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: which comments? | 03:38 |
| mdz | Kamion: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5271 | 03:38 |
| mdz | Kamion: guess which :-) | 03:38 |
| Kamion | Xof: remember that sbcl is an unsupported package; to some extent we depend on community contributions for those | 03:38 |
| Xof | of course | 03:39 |
| Xof | and I spend my day making patches to it | 03:39 |
| lamont | Xof: I'm hip deep in a bunch of must-do stuff. sbcl is ftbfs, I believe, yes? | 03:39 |
| Xof | and I kind of wanted to know about the environment of the buildds | 03:39 |
| Xof | but now I don't really care any more | 03:39 |
| === N1C0 [~Nico@u81-11-162-252.adsl.scarlet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| lamont | Xof: if you have patches for it, I'd love to get them. | 03:39 |
| mdz | Kamion: hmm, doesn't look like a message-id problem now that I look in debbugs | 03:39 |
| lamont | Xof: it's sbuild in a chroot with hoary | 03:39 |
| mdz | Kamion: it looks like maybe the log parser is inadvertently splitting a message into two? | 03:39 |
| lamont | Xof: is sbcl one of those that will need to be bootstrapped from other than the binaries that are currently in hoary? | 03:40 |
| Xof | it shouldn't do | 03:40 |
| lamont | good. those make my brain hurt./ | 03:40 |
| lamont | what more did you need to know about the buildd environment? | 03:40 |
| Xof | at least, I don't know what binaries you have in hoary; it does depend on itself, I'm afraid, so for the new amd64 support you may need one bootstrap | 03:40 |
| Xof | but it doesn't depend on the exact same version of itself | 03:40 |
| Xof | lamont: the fact that it seems to be failing non-deterministically (or deterministically failing but not always in the same place) makes me suspicious | 03:41 |
| lamont | should be good. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/sbcl has the sbcl binaries for {hoary,warty} | 03:41 |
| Xof | is there anything like stack-guard or randomized mmap() or a movable malloc heap in your environments? | 03:41 |
| Kamion | mdz: looks like it's splitting at the . on a line by itself, but why would it do that? | 03:42 |
| Xof | any non-unlimited ulimits? | 03:42 |
| fabbione | mdz: sorry.. i had to run away.. what do you want me to confirm? | 03:42 |
| Xof | (also, knowing the difference between your buildds and debian's would be useful, because the builds seem to succeed more often over there) | 03:43 |
| mdz | Kamion: isn't that the delimiter you use? | 03:43 |
| mdz | fabbione: that we can remove linux-source-2.6.8.1 | 03:43 |
| mdz | and corresponding l-r-m | 03:43 |
| fabbione | mdz: from hoary.. yes | 03:43 |
| Kamion | mdz: not in debbugs, but it *is* the delimiter used for communication between debbugs-log.pl and debbugs.py | 03:43 |
| mdz | elmo: removal of linux-source-2.6.8.1 and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.8.1 is agreed | 03:44 |
| mdz | Kamion: right | 03:44 |
| Kamion | mdz: all that code seems to dot-escape and -unescape correctly though ... | 03:44 |
| mdz | yeah, I thought so too | 03:45 |
| lamont | Xof: no ulimits that I know of | 03:46 |
| Xof | lamont: having the output of /proc/`pidof emacs`/maps (when there's an emacs started) on the machines would be useful | 03:46 |
| Kamion | mdz: the bug's in debbugs-log.pl; I'll have a look after I get back from lunch | 03:46 |
| Xof | lamont: there's no terribly urgent rush from my point of view, so if you have more urgent things, go do them :-) | 03:46 |
| lamont | Xof: the ubuntu buildd's use ccache and a small gcc-shim (which should be having no effect on sbcl), but are otherwise currently no different from debian in any practical way | 03:46 |
| mdz | Kamion: meanwhile, I should probably find a workaround, since it's adding a new comment every 15 minutes... | 03:46 |
| fabbione | lamont: i did ping willy.. he doesn't know what is the I/O problem either | 03:47 |
| mdz | oh, it's been downgraded, I can just remove it | 03:47 |
| Xof | (fwiw, I committed amd64 support to the sbcl development tree yesterday, and it's working fine on my ubuntu desktop... so it's just the rest of the world which needs this investigation ;-) | 03:47 |
| fabbione | lamont: in anycase.. the kernel compiles now.. we need to allign the configurations | 03:47 |
| lamont | fabbione: ggg was mumbling about it last night. | 03:47 |
| fabbione | lamont: ok. i need to check the pa6 patch now and see if it still applies with the fixes i am backporting from bk | 03:48 |
| fabbione | lamont: after that i will handle you the packages to prepare the configs | 03:48 |
| fabbione | lamont: because i dunno some of the stuff it asks for | 03:48 |
| lamont | ok | 03:48 |
| fabbione | lamont: that are pretty specific to hppa hardware | 03:48 |
| lamont | right | 03:48 |
| Xof | lamont: I'll tell you up front that the nondeterminism in the failure point tends to lead me to suspect hardware problems (at least on x86 and powerpc); sbcl compilation is a very good way of finding those. On the other hand, your buildds are presumably surviving the rest of the load, so... | 03:49 |
| Kamion | mdz: aha, this is an amusing bug :) | 03:49 |
| Kamion | - $text =~ s/^\./../m; # escape dots | 03:49 |
| Kamion | + $text =~ s/^\./../gm; # escape dots | 03:49 |
| Kamion | mdz: try that | 03:49 |
| Kamion | it only escaped the first dot :) | 03:50 |
| Kamion | (I've tested it, seems to do the right thing here) | 03:50 |
| lamont | buildd's are nice fat IBM boxes that have been doing quite well for some time. The one of 10 or so that had memory issues has been repaired lo these 6 months or so. | 03:50 |
| lamont | Xof: and memtest was quite happy at that point. | 03:50 |
| Kamion | lamont: do we run exec-shield kernels on the buildds? | 03:51 |
| elmo | mdz: removed | 03:51 |
| elmo | Kamion: no | 03:51 |
| Kamion | ok | 03:51 |
| elmo | we don't run exec-shield anywhere anymore | 03:51 |
| mdz | Kamion: I put that in place; we'll see what happens with #5271 | 03:52 |
| === Xof drums his fingers | ||
| Xof | to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to suggest | 03:52 |
| lamont | Kamion: so, livecd-rootfs... | 03:52 |
| lamont | wanna discuss it here, or take it off-channel, since it's almost entirely administrivia | 03:52 |
| lamont | ? | 03:52 |
| Xof | the same source builds fine on debian and elsewhere. It's _possible_ that you'd see this kind of thing if the previous binaries (which you're using to build from) are bad, of course | 03:52 |
| Kamion | lamont: off-channel's probably better | 03:53 |
| Kamion | unless mdz's interested | 03:53 |
| Kamion | or amu | 03:53 |
| elmo | lamont: have you tried building without the wrapper? | 03:54 |
| lamont | elmo: not yet. | 03:54 |
| mdz | lamont: here is fine, unless there's a reason to keep it a secret | 03:54 |
| mdz | I would like to have a record to refer to | 03:54 |
| lamont | mdz: OK. | 03:55 |
| lamont | mdz: or ubuntu-meeting? | 03:55 |
| fabbione | daniels: ROCKING xserver-xorg_6.8.1-1ubuntu9_sparc.deb! | 03:56 |
| mdz | lamont: wherever | 03:56 |
| lamont | fabbione: about time, slacker. :-) | 03:56 |
| fabbione | lamont: i had to build twice man :-) | 03:56 |
| Kamion | lamont: where's easiest for you to get the blobs to, then? | 03:56 |
| fabbione | before to test and to do the real build | 03:56 |
| fabbione | ;) | 03:56 |
| lamont | heh | 03:56 |
| lamont | and on sparc. ok. | 03:56 |
| fabbione | no.. on ONE sparc... | 03:57 |
| fabbione | you have N * 4 | 03:57 |
| fabbione | or * 3 | 03:57 |
| fabbione | still... | 03:57 |
| fabbione | ;) | 03:57 |
| Kamion | mdz: d-i with 2.6.10, rescue-check, casper-check uploaded | 03:57 |
| lamont | Kamion: so the livecd script (a) can run in a chroot, so it will, and (b) generates ~525MB of cloopimage on i386 - prolly about the same on the others, | 03:57 |
| fabbione | Kamion: rocking hard! | 03:57 |
| lamont | since elmo doesn't want it going near the archive, and it'd be by-hand anyway, we get to figure out some other way to get the bits where they need to go. | 03:58 |
| === Kamion tends to agree with elmo there | ||
| mdz | Kamion: way cool | 03:58 |
| lamont | Kamion: me too. | 03:58 |
| Kamion | can I just wget it from the relevant buildd or something? | 03:59 |
| mdz | lamont: powerpc will end up bigger, but of course we don't need to worry about opencd stuff on powerpc I suppose | 03:59 |
| lamont | Kamion: certainly | 03:59 |
| mdz | lamont: unless we start shipping macos ports :-) | 03:59 |
| Kamion | lamont: assuming, of course, that it's always going to be the same one ... | 03:59 |
| Kamion | mdz: fink! :) | 03:59 |
| lamont | Kamion: so I'll get you a list of the buildd's in question, and then it's just wget http://.../~buildd/... | 04:00 |
| lamont | Kamion: always the same one | 04:00 |
| lamont | barring events | 04:00 |
| sivang | anybody seen pitti ? | 04:00 |
| Kamion | then, as I read casper-udeb, I stick that in casper/filesystem.cloop on the image | 04:00 |
| pitti | sivang: I think I have seen him recently :-) | 04:00 |
| lamont | brb | 04:00 |
| Kamion | now, the rest of the image should have dists/ and pool/ with d-i udebs, but no debs; correct? | 04:01 |
| Treenaks | pitti: prove it! ;) | 04:01 |
| thom | pitti: lots of mirrors in your house? | 04:01 |
| mdz | Kamion: what's the least ugly shell idiom for "run all this bit in a subshell, and if it fails, do this bit instead" ? | 04:01 |

| fabbione | thoM ^ | 04:03 |
| Kamion | ideally that would be a seed or something | 04:03 |
| mdz | Kamion: yeah, casper needed functionalizing anyway | 04:03 |
| mdz | Kamion: happy for you to create a seed out of it | 04:04 |
| fabbione | check it from bk9 changelog | 04:04 |
| Kamion | casper.seed? | 04:04 |
| Kamion | casper-first-stage.seed? | 04:04 |
| Kamion | then I'd get to figure out where the hell it lives in germinate :) | 04:04 |
| thom | fabbione: i don't think i care that much that it's worth backporting | 04:04 |
| Kamion | fabbione: you forgot to say "the first one's free" | 04:05 |
| Kamion | mdz: how about we call the first-stage seed 'casper' and the live-filesystem seed 'live'? | 04:06 |
| fabbione | thom: oh yes.. you do.. if you check the performance improvements :-) | 04:07 |
| fabbione | Kamion: uh? | 04:07 |

| mdz | Kamion: hmm, tough one | 04:09 |
| thom | fabbione: cool, thanks :-) | 04:09 |
| Kamion | elmo: do you care about the names of individual seeds, or do you just look at 'all'? | 04:09 |
| mdz | Kamion: whatever works for you | 04:09 |
| Kamion | mdz: kinda makes sense to me since you could boot into the live filesystem in ways other than casper | 04:09 |
| elmo | I care for generating Task: desktop entries, but other than that, no | 04:09 |
| fabbione | Kamion: ahahha | 04:10 |
| Kamion | elmo: ok, so a new seed that germinate treats as part of 'all' will automatically feed into main? | 04:10 |
| lamont | Kamion: things I know need to get tweaked on the livecd: netconf (duh), /etc/postfix/main.cf, /etc/mailname (both done with the reconfig of postfix in base-installer, iirc), and /etc/papersize based on locale. I can make the file not be there, if you can run the postinst... | 04:10 |
| fabbione | Kamion: that's why he will pay for the readhaed-congestion-control :-) | 04:10 |
| Kamion | base-config not base-installer | 04:11 |
| Kamion | lamont: guess that gets to be part of the weird hacks casper does :) | 04:11 |
| elmo | Kamion: err, mm, lemme check, but I think so | 04:11 |

| mdz | is /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat where I should look? | 04:44 |
| Kamion | mdz: if you do that, udpkg calls debconf-loadtemplate, but it will call the version in the development system rather than the one in the initrd | 04:44 |
| Kamion | yeah | 04:44 |
| Kamion | but after booting | 04:44 |
| Kamion | the initrd should have the text in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.templates | 04:45 |
| Keybuk | seb128: hmm... Libtool doesn't strip a /usr/lib rpath on AMD64 ... I can believe that; does "gcc -print-search-dirs" include /usr/lib on AMD64? | 04:45 |

| mdz | fabbione: yay | 04:45 |
| fabbione | or is it too scary? | 04:45 |
| mdz | sounds great to me | 04:46 |
| ogra_ | no, do it ! | 04:46 |
| fabbione | ok | 04:46 |

| ogra_ | seb128: next week, its ordered ;) | 04:46 |
| Kamion | mdz: oh | 04:47 |
| Keybuk | can you: grep "^ sys_lib_dl" *.m4 -- (4 spaces) in the epiphany source directory? | 04:47 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: what's specific about fedora ? | 04:47 |
| Kamion | mdz: udpkg should call debconf-loadtemplate when unpacking it then, so /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat | 04:47 |
| seb128 | $ grep "^ sys_lib_dl" *.m4 | 04:47 |
| seb128 | sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec=$sys_lib_search_path_spec | 04:47 |

| mdz | oh | 04:52 |
| mdz | Kamion: I think I need to call STEP before INFO, rather than after | 04:52 |
| Kamion | so soonish would be nice if you could, yeah | 04:53 |
| Kamion | mdz: should work either way round | 04:53 |
| mdz | it looks correct to me, then | 04:53 |

| lamont_r | sabdfl: you can use a transport map to force it, force it. relayhost generally does a good enough job though. | 06:46 |
| lamont_r | as for the TLS stuff, it's done opportunistically | 06:46 |
| sabdfl | so if it sees it, it uses it? | 06:46 |
| === lamont_r really needs to pester sabdfl/whoever about cert generation for postfix-tls, so that we can do tls by default. | ||

| fabbione | not too bad | 06:53 |
| fabbione | i am not even at 40 | 06:54 |
| fabbione | 40% of bk9 changelog | 06:54 |
| fabbione | and we have already like 80 patches | 06:54 |
| fabbione | and there is bk10 out already.. | 06:54 |
| mdz | why? | 06:54 |
| fabbione | mdz: all small bug fixes | 06:54 |
| fabbione | plenty of them | 06:55 |
| Kamion | hm, translating kickstart 'partition' will be interesting | 06:55 |
| Kamion | I think I'm going to have to write out a partman-auto recipe on the fly, or something | 06:55 |
| lamont_r | mdz: people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/mdz/livecd.cloop , iirc | 06:56 |
| lamont_r | yep. that's it. | 06:57 |
| lamont_r | Kamion: setting up http for you after lunch | 06:58 |

| === JanC [~JanC@dD57620C2.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| sivang | mdz: [curiosity] what is casper? | 07:02 |
| mdz | sivang: the new infrastructure for the live CD | 07:02 |
| sivang | mdz: k, thanks, is it downloadable from anywhere yet? | 07:03 |
| tseng | sivang: it was accepted into hoary | 07:03 |
| mdz | sivang: it is a package in the Ubuntu archive | 07:03 |
| sivang | mdz: coooool :) | 07:03 |
| === sivang has localized live cds in mind when time comes. | ||
| mdz | it will be trivial with casper | 07:05 |
| sivang | mdz: that's what I thought, Kamion and you are the people to thank to? :) | 07:05 |
| mdz | and the live DVD should support all locales | 07:05 |
| sivang | mdz: eh! now that's rad | 07:06 |
| Kamion | mostly mdz, I just checked a few things and gave advice | 07:06 |
| sivang | mdz: seems that localized ones are bit redundent, given the live dvd will be also distributed free by canonical? | 07:06 |
| mdz | it depends on what will fit | 07:07 |
| Kamion | plenty of machines don't have DVD readers | 07:07 |
| mdz | which reminds me | 07:07 |
| mdz | Kamion: how are we going to work the magic to install language packs? | 07:07 |
| sivang | Kamion: most of the machines around my region and many people I know have been shipped with dvd reader since about 2 years ago :) | 07:07 |
| Kamion | mdz: for the install CD? | 07:07 |
| mdz | Kamion: yes | 07:08 |
| Kamion | mdz: hack up base-config/lib/menu/pkgsel, I figure | 07:08 |
| mdz | and maybe for the live CD also if we get tricky | 07:08 |
| ogra | sivang: i my company we have 900 PCs ... guess how many DVD readers | 07:08 |
| sivang | ogra: 900? :) | 07:08 |
| ogra | 3 | 07:08 |
| mdz | Kamion: e.g., ship with top N languages in the filesystem image, but if you select something else, download the language pack on the fly and install it | 07:08 |
| ogra | and the machines are about 2 years old | 07:09 |
| Kamion | mdz: (hell, just unconditionally aptitude install ...) | 07:09 |
| Kamion | mdz: by pkgsel I've got the language, so it's a SMOP | 07:09 |
| mdz | Kamion: casper doesn't talk to base-config yet, but it ought to | 07:10 |
| Kamion | mdz: note that kickstart has a langsupport command that lets you install multiple languages; it would be interesting to figure out how to integrate that | 07:10 |
| mdz | the last time I tried something like this, it didn't DTRT for noninteractive mode | 07:10 |
| Kamion | in fact kickstart has one command for the installation language and a totally separate command for the installed language(s) | 07:11 |
| sivang | Kamion: that would make preseeding a d-i question redundent? if kickstart would take care of it setting the default local/input lang per loccalized install cd. | 07:11 |
| Kamion | sivang: uh, don't understand | 07:11 |
| Kamion | sivang: the way we support kickstart is going to be by translating it into preseed files | 07:12 |
| thom | seed updates are now done | 07:12 |
| sivang | Kamion: oh ok. | 07:12 |
| daniels | Kamion: btw, your -devel suggestion for l-r-m is totally sick | 07:12 |

| daniels | bob2: how?!? | 07:15 |
| ogra | daniels: i already tried to give V/Hsync values.... | 07:16 |
| daniels | ogra: if you did Option "HorizSync" "12-34", don't | 07:17 |
| daniels | you need HorizSync 12-34 | 07:17 |

| seb128 | oups, yes | 11:11 |
| elmo | ok, both syncs done | 11:12 |
| seb128 | thanks | 11:12 |
| Keybuk | seb128: I guess you know that the panel's Places menu notify-me-it-changed-fu is pooched, ya? | 11:17 |
| Kamion | sheesh, the CDs were still booting with devfs=mount,dall | 11:17 |
| === Kamion nukes that | ||
| seb128 | Keybuk: iz inotify bug | 11:17 |
| seb128 | or gamin | 11:17 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: #5176 | 11:18 |
| Keybuk | *chuckle* Jeff's "perfect solution" in "not actually finished yet" shocker | 11:18 |
| Keybuk | is there an easy/quick way to turn off inotify, that you know of? | 11:20 |

| mvo_ | I'm going to bed now | 11:24 |
| mdz | Kamion: I wondered that as well | 11:24 |
| smurfix | Kamion: Looks like a "we have a problem we don't quite understand, and this fixes the symptom" hack. | 11:24 |
| sivang | mvo_: night | 11:24 |
| mvo_ | night sivang, night all | 11:24 |
| Kamion | mdz: I've removed it, fairly certain it's bogus | 11:25 |
| Kamion | smurfix: I think it's actually "this was needed somewhere in the dawn of time and nobody remembered to remove it when things changed" | 11:25 |
| smurfix | Kamion: Yeah -- the boundaries between these two tend to be somewhat fluid, so we may well both be right. | 11:26 |
| Kamion | :-) | 11:28 |

| Kamion | mdz,lamont: OK, I think I've got most of the bits together to build CDs now; all I need is the exact URL. | 11:32 |
| mako | whiprush: cool.. i've got #16 done. do you have time to read through it? fix errors/etc? | 11:32 |
| whiprush | sure, just getting home, gimme 10 to settle in. | 11:33 |
| mdz | Kamion: http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/mdz/livecd.cloop is the one that he gave me | 11:33 |
| Kamion | lamont: (as in, the tail of the URL, I know everything up to .../~buildd/) | 11:33 |
| mdz | that has 2.6.10 modules on it and seems to work with my test CD | 11:33 |
| Kamion | mdz: yeah, that's not the per-arch buildd thing I had earlier though | 11:34 |
| mako | whiprush: i'm gonna run off for an hour or so.. so i'll just let you have it :) | 11:34 |
| Kamion | though I s'pose I can kick off a test build with that | 11:34 |
| mako | whiprush: email me tonight and i'll just merge back in and post when i'm done :) | 11:34 |
| mako | whiprush: also, add something in the intro about how you're helping out now :) | 11:34 |
| whiprush | k | 11:35 |
| Kamion | also I've only done the bootloader bits for amd64 and i386 so far | 11:35 |
| mdz | Kamion: I hacked up a test CD with kernel module udebs from the archive + initrd/vmlinuz from your d-i upload + lamont's filesystem image, and it worked | 11:35 |
| mako | whiprush: cool.. the new traffic is in my baz archive on the mirror | 11:36 |

| mdz | what's diff-tasks? | 11:37 |
| mako | i have a debian+ubuntu party i need get ready for for (it's at my house!) | 11:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: the thing that runs each cdimage cron.daily to mail me about differences in base/desktop/ship/supported since the last cron.daily | 11:38 |
| Kamion | hm, jigdo not such a good idea on the live image :) | 11:39 |
| mdz | no...it would be sweet to make rsync work, though | 11:39 |
| mdz | I wonder how much work it would be to graft the gzip --rsyncable bits onto create_compressed_fs | 11:39 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: oups, better to highlight me to be sure I read a reply :p Rebuilding gamin with --disable-inotify should do it I guess | 11:41 |
| mdz | Kamion: while you're there, it would be nice to have a much larger ramdisk | 11:51 |
| Kamion | where's that set? | 11:52 |
| crimsun | do we know about http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0021-uselib.txt ? (I only did a rudimentary /lastlog -regexp "isec.pl", sorry if it's a repeat) | 11:52 |
| mdz | Kamion: ramdisk_size on the kernel command line usually | 11:53 |
| Kamion | mdz: doesn't that only govern the initrd? | 11:53 |
| mdz | when the live CD runs out of ramdisk, everything falls apart | 11:53 |
| mdz | Kamion: I'm pretty sure it sets the size of all /dev/ramN | 11:54 |
| mdz | the current one seems to be not much more than enough to get the system going | 11:54 |
| mdz | we'll bring that requirement down through tuning, but for now... | 11:55 |
| Kamion | crimsun: pitti's aware, yeah, should be fixed soon | 11:55 |
| crimsun | Kamion: all right, thanks. | 11:55 |
| Kamion | mdz: does setting it to $HUGE impose memory requirements? | 11:55 |
| mdz | Kamion: it shouldn't | 11:55 |
| Kamion | i.e. if you set it to 64MB will it break a 32MB system? | 11:55 |
| Kamion | ok | 11:55 |
| mdz | should be virtual memory | 11:55 |
| mdz | I certainly don't think it allocates 20M or whatever now | 11:55 |
| sivang | seb128: GNOME is exempt from UFV as I heared :) | 11:56 |
| seb128 | sivang: yep, that would be a non-sense to freeze 2.9.3 ... | 11:57 |
| mdz | The RAM disk dynamically grows as more space is required. It does this by using | 11:58 |
| mdz | RAM from the buffer cache. The driver marks the buffers it is using as dirty | 11:58 |
| mdz | so that the VM subsystem does not try to reclaim them later. | 11:58 |
| sivang | seb128: yes, if we did, we would loose all the wonderful magic of network-admin :) | 11:58 |
| seb128 | sivang: there is something new planned ? | 11:58 |
| sivang | seb128: garnacho has been working hard on applet integration | 11:58 |
| seb128 | cool | 11:58 |
| sivang | seb128: for monitoring the isdn connection and others.. | 11:58 |
| Kamion | bleh, it included all the .debs too | 11:58 |
| Kamion | confused | 11:58 |
| mdz | that'll be a big image | 11:58 |
| Kamion | yeah :) | 11:58 |
