| Mithrandir | you just need to point torrent clients, which have the full files, to my tracker. | 12:04 |
|---|---|---|
| trukulo | i did | 12:05 |
| trukulo | i did with the script you gave me | 12:05 |
| trukulo | well done :) | 12:06 |
| Mithrandir | are you sure you used the correct set of torrents? I can't see anything coming from you in the logs. | 12:07 |
| trukulo | umm, i think i did | 12:07 |
| trukulo | i run: | 12:08 |
| sivang | Mithrandir: do you know hot to allow bittorrent under iptables? | 12:08 |
| trukulo | for f in *.avi; do btmakemetafile $f http://yours ; done | 12:08 |
| Mithrandir | trukulo: the torrents are fine, but are you sure that your client is using those .torrent files? | 12:08 |
| trukulo | that's the problem | 12:09 |
| trukulo | there aren't on a client | 12:09 |
| trukulo | because it's not my machine | 12:09 |
| sivang | Mithrandir: I need to configure my sarge firewall to allow this, when you have time , I'd appriciate if you pinged me :) | 12:09 |
| trukulo | tell me how to do remotely and i'll do | 12:09 |
| Mithrandir | sivang: http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/25.html | 12:09 |
| sivang | Mithrandir: THANKS | 12:09 |
| sivang | Mithrandir: oops the caps | 12:09 |
| sivang | Mithrandir: un intentional | 12:09 |
| Mithrandir | trukulo: hmm, and you can't access them with NFS or something either? | 12:10 |
| trukulo | no, sorry | 12:10 |
| Mithrandir | trukulo: what did you use to seed the old tracker with, then? | 12:10 |
| trukulo | azureus | 12:10 |
| trukulo | but not me | 12:10 |
| trukulo | one of badopi members | 12:10 |
| Mithrandir | ah, ok. | 12:10 |
| Mithrandir | can you put the files somewhere I can just download them and use them to seed, then? | 12:10 |
| trukulo | umm, it's difficult | 12:10 |
| trukulo | because the only site is where torrents are downloading | 12:11 |
| jdub | oh, are there videos of the badopi talks? | 12:11 |
| trukulo | i haven't seen those files yet :( | 12:11 |
| trukulo | yes jdub | 12:11 |
| Mithrandir | trukulo: ok, but I either need access to the files (so I can seed), or somebody else with access to the files need to seed. :) | 12:12 |
| trukulo | i know, i know | 12:12 |
| trukulo | that's the problem | 12:12 |
| trukulo | i'm trying to find a solution | 12:12 |
| Mithrandir | ok, I wasn't sure if you understood the problem or not, which was why I was spoon-feeding you. (: | 12:13 |
| trukulo | sure, it's always better if you explain it | 12:13 |
| mdz | amu: filed https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5410 | 12:13 |
| trukulo | but we have a phisical problem :) | 12:13 |
| Mithrandir | yeah, I understand that. | 12:13 |
| trukulo | i'll see what can i do | 12:14 |
| trukulo | i hope tomorrow i've downloaded this on my company | 12:15 |
| Mithrandir | are the files online anywhere? | 12:15 |

| trukulo | no, until tomorrow i can't do anything more | 12:19 |
| Mithrandir | ok, we'll take a look then | 12:20 |
| trukulo | wait a sec | 12:20 |
| trukulo | can you give me an ftp account to upload the files? | 12:21 |
| trukulo | or sftp | 12:21 |
| trukulo | i think i can do it now | 12:22 |
| Mithrandir | ok | 12:22 |
| trukulo | i'll upload *.avi and *.torrent | 12:22 |

| mdz | Mithrandir: fix how? | 12:30 |
| Mithrandir | make the modules not complain about being unable to load? | 12:30 |
| mjt | is bugzilla.ubuntu really that slow? That bugreport took about 5 minutes to load here... | 12:32 |
| Kamion | it has to download the enormous component list for the drop-down box | 12:33 |
| Mithrandir | mjt: looks fast from here. | 12:33 |
| Kamion | remember that Mithrandir has godlike bandwidth | 12:33 |
| Mithrandir | bah, only 100Mbit here. | 12:33 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: I think the only way to do that would be to make them succeed in loading | 12:34 |
| mdz | really, they should never be loaded in the first place | 12:34 |
| mjt | strange. and i don't see large dropboxes there | 12:34 |

| opi | hi there | 12:35 |
| Kamion | mjt: look closely at the Package: field; if you try to delete a bit and type stuff into it, you'll see a javascript drop-down appear | 12:36 |

| sivang | Mithrandir: trulux's site is not responding for me...it says I can't connect to the tracker | 12:46 |
| Mithrandir | sivang: I'm getting the videos uploaded now so I can seed them tomorrow. I can give you the .torrents just fine, but they won't be particularly useful for a couple of hours. | 12:47 |

| Kamion | mdz: yes | 01:20 |
| Kamion | http://people.debian.org/~markos/console_x_map.txt | 01:20 |
| mdz | Kamion: I'm doing a kernel build to try to fix this module breakage | 01:21 |
| mdz | Kamion: if it works, I'll want a new set of live CD builds | 01:21 |
| mdz | Kamion: going to be up for a bit? | 01:21 |
| Kamion | mdz: was planning to crash soon, karate training was tough and I'm not really so awake right now | 01:22 |
| Kamion | how long are we talking about? | 01:22 |
| Kamion | I could just cron it now ... | 01:22 |
| mdz | time to finish this build + quick test + upload + autobuilds | 01:22 |
| mdz | it's on sound/pci at the moment | 01:22 |
| mdz | so fairly close to being finished | 01:22 |
| mdz | no idea how long the autobuilds will take | 01:22 |
| mdz | depends on whether they hit the same buildd and get ccache love | 01:23 |
| Kamion | what kind of time of day would be good for live CD autobuilds? | 01:23 |
| mdz | Kamion: hmm, didn't we set things up so that I could trigger CD builds? | 01:23 |
| mdz | Kamion: can that apply to the live CD process as well? | 01:23 |
| Kamion | yes, you should be able to; run "ARCHES='amd64 i386 powerpc' cron.daily-live" with umask 002 in effect | 01:23 |
| mdz | Kamion: best time of day for me would be about 0800 UTC | 01:24 |
| mdz | that would give me the freshest crack for overnight download :-) | 01:24 |
| mdz | but it doesn't much matter, really | 01:24 |
| mdz | Kamion: I'll just kick off a build when I'm ready (if this works), then | 01:25 |
| mdz | no need for cron | 01:25 |
| mdz | well | 01:25 |
| lifeless | so, this warning is crap: | 01:25 |
| Kamion | let's do it anyway | 01:25 |
| lifeless | Preparing to replace linux-image-686 2.6.9-4 (using .../linux-image-686_2.6.10-1_i386.deb) ... | 01:25 |

| lifeless | Unpacking replacement linux-image-686 ... | 01:25 |
| mdz | I think we're ready | 01:25 |
| lifeless | ... | 01:25 |
| lifeless | (Reading database ... 164343 files and directories currently installed.) | 01:25 |
| lifeless | I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt, answer | 01:25 |
| lifeless | no. If you know exactly what you are doing, and are prepared to | 01:25 |
| lifeless | Removing linux-image-2.6.9-1-686 ... | 01:25 |
| lifeless | hose your system, then answer Yes. | 01:25 |
| lifeless | Remove the running kernel image (not recommended) [No] ? | 01:25 |
| Kamion | what's removing linux-image-2.6.9-1-686? | 01:26 |
| mdz | lifeless: aptitude? | 01:26 |
| Kamion | is that aptitude's autoremove? | 01:26 |
| Kamion | if so, the warning is correct | 01:26 |
| lifeless | mdz: aptitude autoremoving the kernel. | 01:26 |
| Kamion | and aptitude needs a special case or something to stop it trying to remove the running kernel | 01:26 |
| lifeless | Kamion: yes, its *correct*, like tla is *corect* when it asserts. | 01:26 |
| mdz | yeah, that's a known problem with aptitude+kernel metapackages | 01:26 |
| lifeless | whichi is why I thought you'd like to know :) | 01:27 |
| mdz | not entirely sure what the correct solution is yet | 01:27 |
| lifeless | ok, already known, cool. | 01:27 |
| mdz | file a bug and assign to mvo | 01:27 |
| mdz | component: UNKNOWN | 01:27 |
| lifeless | done | 01:28 |
| Kamion | mdz: cronned for 0801 UTC (I have a built-in aversion to cronning things to run exactly on the hour); you can run it by hand too if you like, though let me know if anything ends up group-unwritable | 01:29 |
| mdz | Kamion: great, thanks | 01:29 |
| mdz | lamont: please arrange your live-fs builds to be complete by the time Kamion's daily build runs ^^^ | 01:30 |
| Kamion | lifeless: ok, didn't know whether you meant crap => wrong or crap => unhelpful | 01:30 |
| Kamion | also somebody tell me when ia64 works so I can remove the hacky special case :-) | 01:30 |
| mdz | Kamion: what's broken? filesystem.cloop builds? | 01:31 |
| mdz | eek | 01:31 |
| mdz | seb128: gaim upgrade just failed | 01:31 |
| seb128 | Mithrandir did the gaim update | 01:32 |
| mdz | oh | 01:32 |
| Kamion | mdz: nothing interesting in http://weddell.ubuntu.com/~buildd/livecd/, so yeah | 01:32 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: bug coming your way | 01:32 |
| Kamion | mdz: hm, you can't really do CD builds at the moment actually | 01:32 |
| mdz | oh? | 01:33 |
| Kamion | mdz: the gnupg secret keyring for dists/hoary/Release.gpg on the CD had to be group-unwritable | 01:33 |
| mdz | gah | 01:33 |
| mdz | anna doesn't even check that, does it? | 01:33 |
| Kamion | this would all be so much easier if we had userv | 01:33 |
| mdz | can i get a little || true action? | 01:33 |
| Kamion | not yet, but I want to make it check that | 01:33 |
| Kamion | I'm kind of averse to having different results based on who kicks off the build | 01:33 |

| lamont_r | mdz/kamion: live-fs builds runs at 0615 london, takes ~25-30 min | 01:58 |
| === jdub uses figlet "NO!" | ||
| lamont_r | that should hit 0801 easily | 01:58 |
| mdz | lamont_r: sounds good | 01:58 |
| mdz | I'll set my cron job to download at 0900 or so | 01:58 |
| lamont_r | mdz: and he has it set up to fetch the most recent successful build... | 01:58 |
| mdz | and I will have FRESH HOT COMMITS EVERY MORNING | 01:58 |
| lamont_r | meaning you'll be making them, or testing them, I wonder... | 01:59 |
| daniels | Kamion: your Bill impersonation is for shit; you forgot some long melodrama involving someone who just discovered he was gay | 01:59 |
| mdz | brute-force kernel fix is a success | 02:00 |
| mdz | uploading | 02:00 |
| lamont_r | mdz: you want 2 builds a day, then? :-) | 02:00 |
| mdz | lamont_r: how long to build linux-source-2.6.10 on all live CD architectures? | 02:00 |
| mdz | lamont_r: I'll want to kick off a live CD build when they're done | 02:01 |
| === lamont_r checks | ||
| daniels | Kamion: (amusingly, the outdoor scenes of Neighbours are filmed about a 15min drive north of me) | 02:01 |
| Kamion | that's when good neighbours become an infuriatingly catchy theme tune | 02:02 |
| lamont_r | ppc is 4:30, i386 3:30, and amd64 2:00 | 02:02 |
| daniels | Kamion: becooooooooooome ... good ... frieeeeends | 02:03 |
| === daniels heads back to bed. | ||
| elmo | 4:30, that's SO WRONG | 02:03 |
| lamont_r | mdz: you uploaded another kernel??? dammit | 02:04 |
| mdz | lamont_r: er, yes? 2.6.10-4 was broken | 02:04 |
| lamont_r | elmo: yeah, adare did 2:53, sigma 2:23, and royal managed it in 3:45 | 02:04 |
| lamont_r | mdz: sigh. | 02:05 |

| === lamont_r wonders if elmo wants to whack cron.daily once. | ||
| === lamont_r wants to mirror at least the sources before he heads back home, you see.. | ||
| elmo | the diff between -4 and -5 can't be that big? | 02:07 |
| elmo | at least in source form | 02:07 |
| mdz | the entire .diff.gz is only ~3.5M | 02:07 |
| mdz | but the binaries are rather large | 02:08 |
| elmo | yeah, but they won't build for like 4 hours | 02:08 |
| elmo | so whacking cron.daily isn't going to help anyone | 02:08 |
| mdz | ...unless they get lucky and hit the right buildd to get a ccache win? | 02:08 |
| mdz | wanna-build-ng ought to prefer the same buildd as the previous build | 02:09 |
| elmo | ccache isn't that much of a win for kernels 'cos of the CPU changes | 02:09 |
| mdz | don't they have a couple gigs of ccache? should be plenty | 02:09 |
| elmo | yes but it doesn't seem to cope with the difference gracefully | 02:10 |
| lamont_r | elmo: it'll let me mirror source now though ,instead of in 30 minutes | 02:10 |
| mdz | a full i386 build tree is ~500M | 02:10 |
| elmo | lamont: it's 3.5Mb? | 02:10 |
| lamont_r | elmo: point | 02:10 |
| lamont_r | nm | 02:10 |
| mdz | it will just cache each -march separately | 02:10 |
| elmo | mdz: doesn't IME | 02:10 |
| mdz | it does for me | 02:10 |
| lamont_r | IME? | 02:10 |
| elmo | every time I compile kernels for Debian as soon as I switch architectures, it goes back to "normal" speed | 02:10 |
| elmo | (err, CPU architectures) | 02:11 |
| mdz | it does a hash of all the flags which affect compilation | 02:11 |
| lamont_r | we have 3GB of cache, or was it 8? | 02:11 |
| mdz | lamont_r: what's the hit rate like? | 02:11 |
| elmo | lamont: who knows, but it should be 10x the latter of those :P | 02:11 |
| elmo | half a fricking terabyte and you won't even use 5% for ccache :P | 02:11 |
| mdz | elmo: that should be plenty for freeze time | 02:12 |
| lamont_r | wGB | 02:12 |
| lamont_r | 2GB | 02:12 |
| mdz | gah, that's nothing | 02:12 |
| mdz | that's not even a linux-source build on i386 | 02:12 |
| opi | yawn | 02:12 |
| === lamont_r bumps it to 10GB everywhere | ||
| opi | time to catch some Zzz | 02:12 |
| elmo | dude. half a terabyte. | 02:12 |
| elmo | seriously, what's the problem with giving it 50 or even a hundred? | 02:12 |
| mdz | elmo: he needs some space for pr0n | 02:13 |
| elmo | oh, yeah, fair point | 02:13 |
| lamont_r | 30GB except for ia64, which gets 4G | 02:15 |
| lamont_r | * 3 chroots - that barely leaves room for oo.o to build. | 02:15 |
| lamont_r | speaking of oo.o... | 02:15 |
| elmo | hmm, I hope ccache has sensible expiriation policies ;0 | 02:16 |
| lamont_r | elmo: LRU, iirc | 02:16 |
| seb128 | ok, time to sleep, 'night | 02:16 |
| lamont_r | mdz: ubuntu-meta... how do I tell it to not bother with oo.o on ia64? | 02:17 |
| lamont_r | they're arch: all, and depend on things that aren't there on ia64... | 02:17 |
| jdub | mdz: so we taslked about using a sudo group a while back | 02:18 |
| jdub | mdz: is it far too late to do that for hoary? | 02:18 |
| elmo | what's unix_chkpwd? | 02:22 |
| lamont_r | elmo: tell me that's not a kernel module... | 02:22 |
| elmo | no, it's some suid binary, with an unhelpful manpage | 02:23 |
| elmo | ah, nm, found 155583 | 02:24 |
| lamont_r | 170MB of kernel images. and that's just i386/ia64 | 02:29 |
| elmo | I suppose "just break NIS and let them suffer" is an option for us? | 02:29 |
| elmo | err, I DONT suppose | 02:29 |
| Kamion | jdub: it's relatively straightforward to do it on installs; what about upgrades? | 02:30 |
| mdz | lamont_r: you don't...they use the seeds | 02:30 |
| mdz | lamont_r: it's smart enough not to depend on things that don't exist on a particular arch, but it doesn't track dependencies | 02:30 |
| mdz | elmo: didn't I propose in that bug that the NIS package override its permissions or something? | 02:30 |
| jdub | Kamion: yeah, that's my owrry too - but we could just add the group line to sudoers and leave the existing configuration | 02:30 |
| mdz | elmo: anyway, that's how I think it should work | 02:31 |
| jdub | Kamion: perhaps add the first user to that group, too (would be safer to do that too) | 02:31 |
| mdz | lamont_r: if you want to make it that smart, feel free | 02:31 |
| elmo | mdz: yeah, like, two years ago | 02:31 |
| Kamion | jdub: on upgrades, you have to check that the first user still has unrestricted sudo privileges | 02:32 |
| Kamion | it's not trivial | 02:32 |
| mdz | lamont_r: why don't you share the cache between chroots? | 02:32 |
| lamont_r | mdz: how? | 02:32 |
| mdz | Kamion: yeah, this would only be for new installs | 02:32 |
| jdub | Kamion: add all the users that have ALL/ALL to the group? | 02:32 |
| elmo | su - user -c 'sudo -l' ? \o/ | 02:32 |
| mdz | lamont_r: mount --bind | 02:32 |
| lamont_r | ?? | 02:32 |
| lamont_r | nfs? | 02:32 |
| Kamion | jdub: means you have to parse sudoers in the maintainer scripts, which is a bit sucky | 02:32 |
| jdub | mdz: wouldn't want to do it on upgrades at all? | 02:32 |
| elmo | lamont: no, bind mount /home/buildd/.ccache | 02:33 |
| lamont_r | oh. chroots on the same machine | 02:33 |
| lamont_r | sigh | 02:33 |
| lamont_r | EBRAIN | 02:33 |
| Kamion | and arguably crackful - would be better to use sudo code to do that parsing | 02:33 |
| mdz | or put it in some directory that you already share; surely you share something already | 02:33 |
| lamont_r | nothing shared currently | 02:33 |
| mdz | jdub: no, I don't think so. as Kamion says, it's tricky to get right | 02:33 |
| Kamion | elmo: su> freak | 02:33 |
| mdz | and since the semantics don't change anyway, what's the point | 02:33 |
| lamont_r | mdz: why should they have anything shared? | 02:33 |
| mdz | lamont_r: I suppose not in the buildd chroots | 02:34 |
| lamont_r | elmo: any policy objections to me creating ~buildd/ccache and bindmounting that into all the chroots as ~buildd/.ccache? | 02:34 |
| mdz | lamont_r: other than /dev at least | 02:34 |
| lamont_r | well, proc and devpts are mounted everywhere... | 02:34 |
| elmo | lamont: no | 02:34 |
| mdz | you use a static /dev? | 02:34 |
| lamont_r | mdz: uh, I guess... | 02:35 |
| mdz | how 1995 | 02:35 |
| lamont_r | mdz: debootstrap hoary chroot-hoary http:.... | 02:35 |
| lamont_r | simple, spartan, workable | 02:35 |
| elmo | mdz: considering the udev package just recently trashed several of our chroots... | 02:35 |
| lamont_r | and yes, very 1995 | 02:35 |
| elmo | lamont: tho, I'm not sure I see the point | 02:35 |
| mdz | elmo: it what? | 02:35 |
| === Kamion finds it considerably easier to use static /dev in chroots too | ||
| Kamion | saves me trying to figure out how to start udev at the right time, and how to get hotplug events to all the udev instances in all the chroots | 02:36 |
| lamont_r | elmo: bind mounting one 150GB ccache across all the chroots? | 02:36 |
| Kamion | (or bind-mounting) | 02:36 |
| elmo | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=287146 | 02:36 |
| elmo | mdz: ^-- variant on that | 02:36 |
| lamont_r | won't help much until hoary release, and then hoary-security and hoary-updates and bendy will all benefit some | 02:36 |
| mdz | elmo: your fault for using 2.4? | 02:37 |
| elmo | I wasn't, you lamer | 02:37 |
| lamont_r | of course, with any luck, we'll have buildd-ng by then, and definitely want a shared ccache.. | 02:37 |
| mdz | hippie | 02:37 |
| jdub | mdz: did you disable *all* patches, or just the stolen from head ones? | 02:37 |
| mdz | I bet you didn't compile in support for tmpfs, or sockets or something | 02:37 |
| elmo | mdz: no, it was a genunine package bug | 02:37 |
| elmo | it ALWAYS tried to start udev and do the bind mount of a tmpdir crap | 02:38 |
| mdz | jdub: I disabled all the new patches from -4 except the security-related ones | 02:38 |
| elmo | which doesn't work too well in a chroot where daemons don't start | 02:38 |
| mdz | jdub: (some of the security-related ones were stolen from head ones) | 02:38 |
| elmo | and more to the point it bind mounted an empty dir over the real /dev | 02:38 |
| jdub | ah, ok | 02:38 |
| lamont_r | elmo: the livecd fs build diverts sbin/udevd to avoid that issue... :-( | 02:38 |
| mdz | jdub: fabbione can sort out the rest tomorrow | 02:38 |
| mdz | or more likely, just upload a 2.6.10-2 version 2.6.10-6 | 02:39 |
| mdz | we need a better naming scheme for the kernel ABI version | 02:39 |
| mdz | 2.6.10+2 or something | 02:39 |
| mdz | something which doesn't look like a Debian version number | 02:39 |
| elmo | yes please | 02:40 |
| elmo | typing those in byhand breaks my brain | 02:41 |
| mdz | I'll add it to the hoary+1 list, no desire to mess with it at this stage | 02:42 |
| jdub | mdz: still unhppy with bendy? :) | 02:42 |
| mdz | jdub: I fucking hate bendy | 02:43 |
| jdub | CKK-CHHK COMING THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR | 02:43 |
| elmo | mdz: let's just go on strike | 02:43 |
| mdz | warthogs are warty in a punnish sort of way, and some hedgehogs could certainly be hoary, but a bendy badger is a stretch in the wrong direction | 02:43 |
| jdub | haha | 02:44 |
| jdub | bend and stretch | 02:44 |
| jdub | reach for the badger | 02:44 |
| Nafallo | huh? the *hogs are already used? :-P | 02:45 |
| mdz | if anyone from the press asks me about the names, I will respond unhesitatingly "I hate those goddamn names" | 02:45 |
| elmo | hey, what happened to bugzilla? did someone tighten up the perms? | 02:45 |
| stub | We can truncate it to bent badger (too much crack) | 02:46 |
| lamont_r | so how do I get the mixer to give me > 100% volume? | 02:50 |
| elmo | yeah, and while you're at, how do I get time to go backwards? | 02:50 |
| elmo | [i.e. huh? | 02:50 |

| fabbione | mdz: ? | 06:00 |
| mdz | fabbione: #5410 | 06:00 |
| fabbione | checking... | 06:00 |
| fabbione | it hasn't been assigned to me... | 06:01 |
| mdz | I closed it | 06:01 |
| mdz | it was assigned to you, but you were asleep | 06:01 |
| fabbione | hmmm | 06:02 |
| fabbione | no | 06:02 |
| fabbione | i don't think that is the correct solution | 06:02 |
| mdz | you really think so? :-P | 06:02 |
| mdz | however, it was the simplest way to un-break it | 06:02 |
| fabbione | yes because all these modules are shipped with the kernel | 06:02 |
| fabbione | so even if the abi changes they should be able to load | 06:03 |
| mdz | no | 06:03 |
| fabbione | the abi is only for external kernels | 06:03 |
| mdz | there is a good reason why we change the package name when the ABI changes | 06:03 |
| fabbione | external-modules | 06:03 |
| mdz | users upgrade to the new kernel, and then they can't load any modules | 06:03 |
| mdz | until they reboot | 06:03 |
| mdz | and in this case, no modules would load at all on the live CD | 06:03 |
| fabbione | mdz: that's why there is a warning that when you upgrade the kernel you need to reboot the machine | 06:03 |
| mdz | fabbione: it is not OK to change the module ABI without changing the package name | 06:04 |
| fabbione | mdz: if i knew that there was an ABI change i would have change the package name | 06:04 |
| lamont | mdz: looking at 4148, I'm inclined to upload 1.4.3-20ubuntu2 == debian/1.4.3-20. thoughts? | 06:05 |
| mdz | lamont: agreed | 06:05 |
| lamont | since there isn't a -21 to sync,and all that. | 06:05 |

| mdz | fabbione: I can generate one if you need it | 06:06 |
| fabbione | mdz: that would be nice.. thanks | 06:06 |

| fabbione | because some of them were applied before this release too | 06:07 |
| mdz | I knew what I was doing | 06:07 |
| fabbione | i need to wake up my gf | 06:07 |
| fabbione | brb | 06:07 |
| fabbione | i know you know :-) | 06:07 |
| mdz | I started from -3 and added the security patches from -4 | 06:08 |
| === lamont makes a note to file ftbfs bugs on all of the main failures tomorrow | ||
| mdz | diff mailed | 06:08 |
| fabbione | thanks | 06:10 |
| === HostingGeek jumps | ||
| === fabbione sighs | ||
| fabbione | mdz: you lost a couple of security patches on the way :( | 06:12 |
| mdz | fabbione: if so, they were not marked [SECURITY] | 06:13 |
| mdz | I applied those | 06:13 |
| fabbione | sorry but they are | 06:13 |
| mdz | which? | 06:13 |
| fabbione | * [SECURITY] http://seclists.org/lists/fulldisclosure/2005/Jan/0270.html: | 06:13 |
| fabbione | - Add patch 031-sg_scsi_ioctl_int_overflows.dpatch. | 06:13 |
| mdz | hmm | 06:14 |
| mdz | I remember pasting that one | 06:14 |
| fabbione | no worries | 06:14 |
| fabbione | it's nothing easy to exploit | 06:14 |
| fabbione | the second one was in that pool of patches, but it was not marked sa SECURITY.. that's right | 06:16 |
| === thully_ [~thully@pm481-24.dialip.mich.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | it is a proactive patch in that direction | 06:16 |
| thully_ | so, what's the status of suspend userland being merged into hoary? | 06:16 |
| thully_ | suspend - as in suspend-to-RAM, suspend-to-disk, etc etc | 06:17 |
| === ultrafunk [~pd@insanity.ridge.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | mdz: how long ago did you upload -5? | 06:17 |
| fabbione | ppc is not even around yet.... | 06:17 |
| fabbione | ehhe | 06:17 |
| mdz | fabbione: a few hours | 06:17 |
| fabbione | ok | 06:17 |
| fabbione | plan is to upload -6 to readd the security patch | 06:17 |
| mdz | 1703 local time | 06:18 |
| fabbione | and jump the abi with all the stuff from -7 | 06:18 |
| mdz | sounds good | 06:18 |
| === KeyserSoze [unbound@pound.ifndef.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | hey Keyser | 06:18 |
| fabbione | KeyserSoze: back to ubuntu after gentoo? | 06:19 |
| mdz | I just saw that film for the first time yesterday | 06:19 |
| fabbione | which film? | 06:20 |
| fabbione | the Usual Suspects? | 06:20 |
| mdz | yes | 06:20 |
| fabbione | eheh | 06:20 |
| jdub | mdz: whoa! | 06:21 |
| fabbione | mdz: you should see Secretary | 06:21 |
| fabbione | that's a weird movie | 06:21 |
| mdz | I saw it | 06:21 |
| fabbione | did you? | 06:22 |
| fabbione | ehe | 06:22 |
| mdz | it came around on mythtv | 06:22 |
| Keybuk | I've never properly seen it | 06:23 |
| fabbione | i think to really appreciate some details you need to know a bit about BDSM and watch it a couple of times | 06:23 |
| Keybuk | Usual Suspects, that is | 06:24 |
| Keybuk | fabbione: you know a bit about BSDM? :p | 06:24 |
| fabbione | ahhh | 06:24 |
| fabbione | i tought Secretary | 06:24 |
| === fabbione inflicts pain to Keybuk | ||
| fabbione | :P | 06:24 |
| thully_ | Hi - I've got a suggestion for Hoary's live CD | 06:24 |
| === lamont admits to having NFC what he should really do with #3442 | ||
| Keybuk | stars Daniel Jackson 1 and Donnie Darko's sister | 06:25 |
| Keybuk | *interesting* | 06:25 |
| lamont | fabbione: is linux-meta happy with ia64? | 06:25 |
| fabbione | lamont: afaik it should.. | 06:25 |
| fabbione | lamont: we did the same day we did sparc... | 06:25 |
| lamont | fabbione: right. closing the bug | 06:26 |
| thully_ | Could the kernel headers be added to it? I feel that these would be useful if there was a dire situation when a network card/modem without native drivers needs to be used from the live CD - the drivers could be built w/linux-headers | 06:26 |
| fabbione | lamont. | 06:26 |
| fabbione | lamont: sure that the bug is 3442? | 06:26 |
| lamont | 3442 is fontconfig | 06:27 |
| lamont | 4142 was linux-meta | 06:27 |
| lamont | and closed | 06:27 |
| lamont | 3442 is still hanging in the wind | 06:27 |
| === lamont defers to mdz on what packages should go on livecd.. | ||
| fabbione | lamont: checking.. just a sec. i recall doing that change in fontconfig | 06:28 |
| lamont | although I'm tempted to sneak netehack onto it.:-) | 06:28 |
| lamont | fabbione: if you know what to do, feel free to hijack it... | 06:28 |
| mdz | thully_: they wouldn't be useful without a C compiler | 06:28 |
| thully_ | then add the C compiler also - that may be useful also if something used for diagnostic purposes needed to be compiled | 06:28 |
| mdz | thully_: space is limited | 06:29 |
| fabbione | lamont: i will give you the solution.. use laptop-detect | 06:29 |
| fabbione | lamont: as we do in Xorg | 06:29 |
| fabbione | lamont: that portion of the code has been introduce in Debian for a better x <-> fontconfig interaction | 06:29 |
| mdz | thully_: linux-headers + build-essential is over 100M | 06:29 |
| fabbione | lamont: so that one of the 2 questions can go away if the other has been answered already | 06:29 |
| thully_ | I see - I thought they were less than that | 06:29 |
| fabbione | lamont: we don't ask any of them because we have a common source of info in laptop-detect | 06:30 |
| mdz | the kernel headers have become enormous | 06:30 |
| fabbione | lamont: so basically you can just keep what we have | 06:30 |
| thully_ | I knew that there was no space crunch on the install CD - didn't know about the live CD though | 06:30 |
| lamont | thully_: there's always space crunch | 06:30 |
| thully_ | BTW - can you install debs when booted off the liveCD? | 06:30 |
| lamont | once you start shipping something, it's hard to stop | 06:30 |
| fabbione | lamont: and don't listen to all these people that rants about one method or another.. | 06:30 |
| lamont | thully_: certainly | 06:30 |
| fabbione | lamont: tell them to buy better hardware and reassign the problem to gtk | 06:31 |
| lamont | fabbione: you want to go ahead and do that merge, then? | 06:31 |
| === fabbione needs help to maintain the kernel | ||
| fabbione | lamont: i need to fix the kernel | 06:31 |
| thully_ | lamont: warty's install CD could have had about 150MB more on it | 06:31 |
| === lamont might be talked into helping fabbione... | ||
| thully_ | that doesn't seem like space crunch | 06:31 |
| thully_ | but I see that the live CD is a different story | 06:32 |
| fabbione | lamont: i am afraid that as porter you will be involved :) | 06:32 |
| lamont | thully_: that's because we agressively approached things as though there were a space crunch | 06:32 |
| lamont | fabbione: np | 06:32 |
| fabbione | mdz: the kernel -> bzip thingy is a pain to test | 06:32 |
| lamont | thully_: once it's gone, it's pretty much gone. | 06:32 |
| fabbione | mdz: i will do as soon as i can trash a build for it | 06:32 |
| fabbione | mdz: it needs some changes in kernel-package | 06:32 |
| mdz | fabbione: really? it should just be dh_builddeb -- -Zbzip2 | 06:33 |
| thully_ | when will the acpi userland support packages be merged into hoary, anyway? | 06:33 |
| mdz | ah, ok | 06:33 |
| mdz | thully_: which ones? | 06:33 |
| mdz | I saw mjg59 upload at least some | 06:33 |
| thully_ | yes - his - the ones that allow suspend-to-RAM as well as suspend-to-disk | 06:33 |
| fabbione | mdz: no.. it uses manually dpkg --build in several points | 06:34 |
| fabbione | mdz: | 06:34 |
| fabbione | so i need to do some manual love... | 06:34 |
| fabbione | but i was thinking that i can flaggify it ;) | 06:34 |
| fabbione | somehow... | 06:34 |
| fabbione | so we can switch anytime | 06:34 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: you awake yet? | 06:34 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: any chance you could look at the current libsdl1.2 on amd64 and tell me what's borked? | 06:35 |
| === fabbione sends a not to lamont that fabbione is the only one waking up at 6 am | ||
| fabbione | s/not/note | 06:35 |
| lamont | fabbione: feh. I'm online somewhere between 5:30 and 6:15 each school day morning | 06:35 |
| lamont | didn't realize you were in that camp too. | 06:35 |
| fabbione | lamont: well that i am not the only one :-) | 06:35 |
| lamont | heh | 06:36 |
| fabbione | lamont: i need to wake up my gf every morning | 06:36 |
| fabbione | she can't wake up by herself | 06:36 |
| fabbione | OH GREAT! | 06:36 |
| fabbione | only 430 message on LKML in the last 12 HOURS! | 06:36 |
| lamont | LOL | 06:36 |
| fabbione | and approx 25000 lines of diff between bk9 and bk13 | 06:37 |
| === fabbione cries desperatly | ||
| fabbione | oh diff.. in the changelog! | 06:37 |
| fabbione | not in the code | 06:37 |
| lamont | linux-source-2.6.10_2.6.10-5_20050111-0135-i386-successful | 06:37 |
| fabbione | ehe there will be -6 and 7 up today | 06:38 |
| smurfix | fabbione: seems like a fulltime job just to keep track of LKML these days | 06:38 |
| fabbione | smurfix: it is | 06:38 |
| lamont | mdz: ppc continues | 06:38 |
| fabbione | i have been doing nothing else since i agreed with mdz that i was going to do 2.6.8.1 -> 2.6.9 :P | 06:38 |
| === fabbione hides from mdz | ||
| lamont | sigh... ia64 build time for linux-source-2.6.10 is pretty solidly 7:30 | 06:39 |
| mdz | fabbione: if I recall correctly (and I do), what you said was that you would "look after the kernel" | 06:39 |
| mdz | not 2.6.8.1, not 2.6.9, not 2.6.10..."the kernel" :-) | 06:40 |
| fabbione | mdz: right.. you trapped me in somekind of obscure way of english talking... | 06:40 |
| fabbione | :P | 06:40 |
| lamont | fabbione: why -6 _and_ -7? | 06:40 |
| fabbione | lamont: did you unfuck ia64? | 06:40 |
| fabbione | lamont: -6 to readd the security patch that slept out | 06:40 |
| lamont | ia64 is building stuff again. doko and I got it happy | 06:40 |
| fabbione | -7 to bump the ABI | 06:40 |
| fabbione | and readd all the stuff that were in -4 | 06:41 |
| lamont | happy happy joy joy | 06:41 |
| fabbione | that means renaming all the packages | 06:41 |
| mdz | we need to wait for -5 or -6 to build before uploading -7 | 06:41 |
| fabbione | and waiting for elmo to bless NEW binaries again | 06:41 |
| lamont | it's just that my poor mirror is struggling to keep up and failing... :-) | 06:41 |
| fabbione | mdz: yup... | 06:41 |
| === thully_ [~thully@pm481-24.dialip.mich.net] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] | ||
| fabbione | well.. i can upload -6 pretty soon | 06:42 |
| lamont | mdz: rather, need to wait until the daily cd build finishes before uploading | 06:42 |
| fabbione | so that it will be done for today | 06:42 |
| mdz | that would be nice, too | 06:42 |
| fabbione | and -7 tomorrow | 06:42 |
| lamont | fabbione: -6 will not be done for today's cd build run | 06:42 |
| fabbione | lamont: no big deal | 06:42 |
| fabbione | it's only a security patch on scsi that is missing | 06:42 |
| lamont | as long as it doesn't land in a way that breaks the cd builds... | 06:42 |
| fabbione | it's not like you can gain root farting on the console... | 06:42 |
| mdz | I'm not sure that we need another upload of 2.6.10-1 | 06:43 |
| mdz | once -5 builds, we can roll a live CD and then go to 2.6.10-2 | 06:43 |
| fabbione | mdz: well somebody might have -1 and not upgrade to -2 | 06:43 |
| fabbione | that's why i would be more happy to have -1 completely fixed | 06:43 |
| fabbione | ohhh i knew it | 06:43 |
| mdz | fabbione: they could also be back on 2.6.9 :-) | 06:43 |
| fabbione | mdz: now you convinced me | 06:44 |
| mdz | another vulnerability? | 06:44 |
| fabbione | DIE USERS DIE UNDER THE POWER OF SCSI IOCTL INT OVERFLOW! | 06:44 |
| fabbione | no | 06:44 |
| fabbione | let's go for -2 directly | 06:44 |
| mdz | ok | 06:44 |
| fabbione | lamont: can you give me the green light for the cd to build? | 06:44 |
| mdz | fabbione: we were discussing earlier that we should use a different scheme for the ABI version | 06:45 |
| fabbione | or should i wait for -5 to be on all arches? | 06:45 |
| fabbione | mdz: such as? | 06:45 |
| mdz | fabbione: because it is confusing to have 2.6.10-1, 2.6.10-2, etc. (they look like package version numbers) | 06:45 |
| fabbione | i agree... | 06:45 |
| mdz | dunno, anything really...2.6.10-a, 2.6.10-b | 06:45 |
| mdz | 2.6.10+1 | 06:45 |
| fabbione | what's the solution? | 06:45 |
| mdz | 2.6.10-blue, 2.6.10-yellow | 06:45 |
| fabbione | 2.6.10.abi1 | 06:46 |
| fabbione | 2.6.10.abi2 | 06:46 |
| fabbione | 2.6.10.abi3 | 06:46 |
| fabbione | etc... | 06:46 |
| fabbione | that would be even more clear.... | 06:46 |
| lamont | fabbione: livecd fs build is at 0615 (as is the d-i daily build). cdrom construction runs at 0801 london time. Not sure how long it runs, but I expect that it's done by 0900 london time. | 06:46 |
| mdz | hmm | 06:46 |
| lamont | Kamion would be the one to ask for a 'go-for-kernel-upload' signal once the cd's are built | 06:46 |
| fabbione | that means a few hours from now... | 06:46 |
| mdz | lamont: aren't we already too late? | 06:47 |
| fabbione | lamont: ok.. | 06:47 |
| mdz | or doomed to miss it, at least? | 06:47 |
| lamont | mdz: new upload will not make todays run | 06:47 |
| lamont | but might just manage to break at least amd64 | 06:47 |
| fabbione | i can wait | 06:47 |
| lamont | (amd64 is only 2 hours to build the kernel) | 06:47 |
| fabbione | i need to test 2/3 things before uploading anyway | 06:48 |
| mdz | fabbione: please ask Kamion to run a new build when he wakes up (once -5 is built) | 06:48 |
| mdz | (live CD build) | 06:48 |
| === fabbione will do | ||
| lamont | we should turn on snapshotting so that kamion can have the same image as the rootfs builds.. :-) | 06:48 |
| fabbione | mdz: do we have any reliable way to know when the ABI in the kernel changes? | 06:49 |
| fabbione | other than for me trying to understand some really obscure patches? | 06:49 |
| mdz | nope | 06:50 |
| mdz | they can change it at any time in bk | 06:50 |
| mdz | herbert or dilinger should be able to tell you what to look for | 06:50 |
| fabbione | mdz: you also forgot to copy 00list-4.hppa to 00list-5.hppa | 06:50 |
| fabbione | ok. i can ask them | 06:50 |
| lamont | woot. ppc may actually make this cron.dailky | 06:50 |
| === fabbione hugs mdz for his love on the kernel | ||
| === fabbione and feels less lonely in his crusade against aBI changes | ||
| mdz | fabbione: honestly I do not like the 00list method very much | 06:52 |
| lamont | it seemed like the abi changed every upload before... | 06:52 |
| mdz | it seems error-prone | 06:52 |
| lamont | that's certainly the most conservative approach, but not very nice.. | 06:52 |
| mdz | lamont: before when? | 06:52 |
| lamont | from what I saw of the 2.4 and 2.6 herbert kernels in debian. | 06:53 |
| mdz | fabbione: I think I would rather have it apply every patch in debian/patches, so that it is obvious what is active and what is not | 06:53 |
| lamont | but that's just my deluded memory speaking... | 06:53 |
| mdz | nah, he only changed it when necessary | 06:53 |
| === lamont believes that | ||
| lamont | quite likely that I only noticed it when it had needed to change | 06:54 |
| fabbione | mdz: i did never spend much time on the packaging... | 06:54 |
| fabbione | mdz: i just used the same packages that Herbert did... | 06:54 |
| mdz | fabbione: yes, I know | 06:54 |
| mdz | I had the same concern with it originally, I just did not have much motivation to change it | 06:54 |
| fabbione | but if you want to give me a couple of days and i can make that package a bit more shiny | 06:54 |
| fabbione | ;) | 06:54 |
| mdz | since you are working on it, it is your decision | 06:54 |
| fabbione | mdz: it is very time consuming... | 06:55 |
| fabbione | to change it i mean | 06:55 |
| mdz | I am concerned about having hppa present if it makes it easier to make this kind of mistake | 06:55 |
| mdz | I assume it could not break the build on other arches, though | 06:55 |
| lamont | fabbione: btw, I would be happy to be on the kernel team with you. | 06:56 |
| fabbione | lamont: that would rock! | 06:56 |
| mdz | what time is the CC meeting? | 06:56 |
| fabbione | mdz: 16:00 UTC | 06:56 |
| mdz | gah | 06:56 |
| fabbione | and i will be there on time | 06:56 |
| mdz | good night, then | 06:57 |
| fabbione | night :-) | 06:57 |
| lamont | me too, I fear. | 06:57 |
| fabbione | mdz: we don't want big fat patches for one arch to be applied to all of them | 06:57 |
| fabbione | night lamont ;) | 06:57 |
| mdz | fabbione: yes, this is why it is a problem to support architectures which are not in mainline | 06:57 |
| fabbione | mdz: last question: linux-headers-2.6.10-abi2- | 06:57 |
| fabbione | ? | 06:57 |
| mdz | fabbione: let's not change it yet, and wait until post-hoary | 06:58 |
| fabbione | mdz: oh ok.. fine for me | 06:58 |
| mdz | no hurry, just something to think about | 06:58 |
| mdz | good night | 06:58 |
| fabbione | night | 06:58 |

| wasabi | Howdy. So, who do I speak with about getting a package into Hoary? It's a pretty big package: Eclipse 3.0. | 07:29 |
| wasabi | It's heading to Debian, but it'll probably be hung up in experimental until the end of time (when Sarge is released). | 07:30 |
| aj | why would you say that? | 07:31 |
| wasabi | Say what? That sarge will never be released? Because I have my doubts. ;) | 07:31 |
| aj | no, that it'll have to stay in experimental forever? | 07:32 |
| aj | KDE and Gnome didn't, after all | 07:32 |
| wasabi | True. | 07:32 |
| aj | what's the package name? | 07:32 |
| wasabi | eclipse. It's not there yet. I'm doing the final build of it. I'll probably get somebody to upload it tomorrow. | 07:32 |
| wasabi | Just wanted to know who to talk to about Hoary. | 07:33 |
| wasabi | I use Ubuntu, so it's more important to me that it's there vs Debian... but I will probably end up maintaining it in Debian anyways. | 07:33 |
| fabbione | wasabi: proposal for packages go to ubuntu-devel mailing list | 07:34 |
| aj | getting it fixed in experimental over a few weeks, then putting it in unstable, whether or not sarge is released; and having it appear in multiverse automagically would've been the first preference i would've thought; experimental->unstable seems likeit ought to be fairly easy at first glance | 07:35 |
| ajmitch_ | does the current debian maintainer not have enough time for it? | 07:35 |
| wasabi | The current debian maintainer has orphaned it, and it's about a year and a half behind. | 07:35 |
| aj | tbh, i can't see much need for it to even spend more than a week in experimental | 07:37 |
| aj | nothing seems to depend on eclipse, anyway? | 07:37 |
| wasabi | eclipse provides libswt-java | 07:37 |
| wasabi | I am guessing a few things depend on it, all in contrib non-free | 07:37 |
| aj | nothing packaged | 07:37 |
| aj | ...that i can see anyway, don't think i missed anything though | 07:40 |
| wasabi | heh. my apt-cache rdepends: mmap ran out of room | 07:41 |
| aj | oh, actually eclipse isn't even in sarge, so uploading a new version has no effect on the release | 07:46 |
| aj | does the new package (libswt2.1-motif-jni or it's replacement in particular) depend on libmotif still? or is that gone completely? | 07:47 |
| wasabi | I'm killing it. | 07:48 |
| wasabi | It doesn't serve a useful purpose. | 07:48 |
| aj | i'd say just upload it straight to unstable, personally; then it should go straight to multiverse whenver that next gets updated too (disc: i have no idea how multiverse actually gets updated) | 07:49 |

| jblack | daniel: ping | 08:20 |
| fabbione | i think he is not around | 08:20 |
| fabbione | go ahead jblack | 08:20 |
| fabbione | what video card is in that lappy? | 08:20 |
| jblack | radeon mobility 7500 | 08:21 |
| fabbione | ok.. | 08:21 |
| fabbione | can you put the config somewhere? | 08:21 |
| jblack | sure. | 08:21 |
| fabbione | i need to grab cigarettes.... brb | 08:21 |
| d3vic3 | mdz: ping | 08:22 |
| jblack | http://mercury.linuxguru.net/~jblack/XF86Config-4 | 08:23 |
| fabbione | re | 08:23 |
| fabbione | d3vic3: he is asleep | 08:23 |
| jblack | go smoke. :) | 08:23 |
| d3vic3 | mdz sleeps by day ? | 08:23 |
| fabbione | i am... | 08:23 |
| fabbione | sometimes i allow myself for one or two cigarettes in the office | 08:24 |
| fabbione | d3vic3: he lives in the US. it's night there | 08:24 |
| jblack | its essentially a copy of the XF86Config-4 from my other laptop, for which this works | 08:24 |
| d3vic3 | hmmm, I thought he was in UK | 08:24 |
| crimsun | d3vic3: it's 2:24 AM in his timezone. | 08:24 |
| jblack | the idea is to get this other laptop doing dual-head, and then that xdcmp or whatever thing, to give me 4 monitors | 08:24 |
| d3vic3 | that expalains it | 08:24 |
| fabbione | jblack: ahhhh ok.. XDMX sucks btw.. | 08:25 |
| fabbione | jblack: what is the error on in the logs? | 08:25 |
| jblack | oh, it does? | 08:25 |
| fabbione | jblack: yeah.. it's way slow... | 08:25 |
| fabbione | and it tends to break the graphic on gnome... | 08:25 |
| fabbione | like missing icons | 08:25 |
| fabbione | horiz bars during refresh | 08:25 |
| fabbione | and i am on 100Mb FD | 08:26 |
| fabbione | so there is no real network limitation | 08:26 |
| fabbione | it can be because one machine is xorg and the other xfree | 08:26 |
| fabbione | but i didn't bother to test too much | 08:26 |
| fabbione | jblack: anyway let's make this thing work | 08:26 |
| fabbione | put /var/log/Xfree86.0.log somewhere i can look at it | 08:26 |
| jblack | oh boy. maybe I shoudln't bother, since I'm using wireless | 08:27 |
| fabbione | well.. let's get the dual head working anyway | 08:27 |
| fabbione | perhps with xorg <-> xorg it works... | 08:27 |
| fabbione | the mouse movement on a clean X run was ok | 08:27 |
| fabbione | gnome was slow.. but that's not really measurable in my environment | 08:28 |
| fabbione | it was way too mixed | 08:28 |
| jblack | http://mercury.linuxguru.net/~jblack/Xorg.0.log | 08:28 |
| fabbione | hmmmm | 08:29 |
| fabbione | jblack: than you modified the wrong config.... | 08:29 |
| fabbione | Xorg uses xorg.conf | 08:29 |
| fabbione | not XF86Config-4 | 08:29 |
| jblack | is it as simple as copying the one onto the other? | 08:30 |
| === ultrafunk [~pd@eth779.vic.adsl.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | yes | 08:30 |
| jblack | oh, wait, the info is already there. | 08:30 |
| jblack | diff XF86Config-4 and xorg.conf shows no diffs | 08:31 |
| fabbione | jblack: if you look at the beginning of the log you can see that the ATI-2 hasn't been checked at all | 08:32 |
| fabbione | the Section "ServerLayout" is missing the second head part | 08:32 |
| fabbione | Section "ServerLayout" | 08:33 |
| fabbione | Identifier "Default Layout" | 08:33 |
| fabbione | Screen "ATI-1" | 08:33 |
| fabbione | ah no | 08:33 |
| fabbione | sorry | 08:33 |
| fabbione | there are a few things wrong | 08:33 |
| fabbione | let's start from the top | 08:33 |
| fabbione | Section "Screen" | 08:33 |
| fabbione | Identifier"Default Screen" | 08:33 |
| fabbione | Device"ATI-1" | 08:34 |
| fabbione | change "Default Screen" to "Default Screen 1" | 08:34 |
| fabbione | and for ATI-2 do a similar thing | 08:34 |
| fabbione | to "Default Screen 2" | 08:34 |
| jblack | WHoops. /me forgot the serverlayout screen | 08:35 |
| fabbione | then.. down to the ServerLayout | 08:35 |
| jblack | and now it works great | 08:35 |
| fabbione | ehehe | 08:35 |
| jblack | you're like a genious or something | 08:35 |
| fabbione | nahh.... | 08:36 |
| fabbione | that was easy... | 08:36 |
| jblack | so the question is, fix kde, or try xdmx | 08:36 |
| fabbione | for xdmx you need to do a lot of magic... | 08:36 |
| fabbione | but i can help you there | 08:36 |
| jblack | from the way you describe it, its not even worth it | 08:37 |
| fabbione | well you can still try and decide yourseld | 08:37 |
| fabbione | yourself | 08:37 |
| jblack | ok | 08:37 |
| fabbione | let me dig the configs | 08:37 |
| jblack | then lets do this | 08:37 |
| fabbione | install xdmx on one of the machine.. the one is going to be the "input" box | 08:38 |
| jblack | input box as in the extra display machine? | 08:38 |
| fabbione | you have 2 machines... | 08:39 |
| fabbione | one is where you use the keyboard and mouse | 08:39 |
| fabbione | the other one is a slave | 08:39 |
| jblack | ok. which one is the input box? the master or the slave? | 08:39 |
| fabbione | the master | 08:39 |
| fabbione | on the master install xdmx | 08:40 |
| fabbione | there is no need of xdmx on both of them | 08:40 |
| jblack | Ok. its installed | 08:40 |
| fabbione | ok | 08:40 |
| fabbione | now... | 08:40 |
| fabbione | go on the slave.. quit gdm or X | 08:40 |
| fabbione | and stay on console... | 08:40 |
| === fabbione digs the commands | ||
| jblack | ok | 08:40 |
| fabbione | from the console as root run: | 08:42 |
| fabbione | damn.. i can't find it... | 08:43 |
| fabbione | hold on :-) | 08:43 |
| Treenaks | damn..: command not found | 08:45 |
| fabbione | jblack: just a sec.. i need to find the proper command to start X | 08:45 |
| fabbione | otherwise you will get crazy | 08:45 |
| fabbione | there: | 08:47 |
| fabbione | X -ac :1 | 08:47 |
| fabbione | the -ac flag is to disable access control via DISPLAY= | 08:47 |
| fabbione | otherwise you can play with xauth | 08:47 |
| fabbione | but i leave that as an exercise to the user ;) | 08:48 |
| jblack | Ok. that started the slave up with the standard X checkerboard. | 08:48 |
| fabbione | and put that process in bg ones it starts properly | 08:48 |
| fabbione | correct | 08:48 |
| fabbione | now.. remember that command because you will need it on the master too | 08:48 |
| jblack | ok. its backgrounded. | 08:49 |
| fabbione | good... | 08:49 |
| fabbione | let's write down the Xdmx config now | 08:50 |
| fabbione | in which basically you create the virtual desktop on top of the 2 real ones | 08:50 |
| fabbione | virtual test 4800x1200 { | 08:50 |
| fabbione | display trider-g7.int.fabbione.net:1.0 1600x1200; | 08:50 |
| fabbione | display gordian.int.fabbione.net:1.0 3200x1200 @1600x0; | 08:50 |
| fabbione | } | 08:50 |
| fabbione | the file contains something like that | 08:50 |
| jblack | into what file does that go? | 08:50 |
| fabbione | it doesn't matter | 08:50 |
| fabbione | you will have to specify the config file to xdmx anyway | 08:50 |
| fabbione | so how does it work: | 08:51 |
| fabbione | virtual test 4800x1200 | 08:51 |
| fabbione | is the global resolution you want | 08:51 |
| fabbione | that's up to your local resolutions | 08:51 |
| fabbione | (remember it needs to be a square) | 08:51 |
| jblack | One of them isn't. | 08:51 |
| fabbione | they need to have either the same width or the same height | 08:52 |
| fabbione | at least for simplicity | 08:52 |
| fabbione | it is possible to make more complex screen configs | 08:52 |
| fabbione | but i didn't dig too much into it | 08:53 |
| fabbione | and i am not sure the protocol is really really smart yet | 08:53 |
| fabbione | display trider-g7.int.fabbione.net:1.0 1600x1200; | 08:54 |
| fabbione | display gordian.int.fabbione.net:1.0 3200x1200 @1600x0; | 08:54 |
| fabbione | these 2 lines define the slaves | 08:54 |
| fabbione | note: | 08:54 |
| fabbione | you cannot use an IP address there | 08:54 |
| jblack | Lets hope it is, because on my primary, its 1920x1200 + 1200x1024 | 08:54 |
| fabbione | for a test reduce the primary to 1920x1024 or something like that | 08:55 |
| fabbione | so that it will become 3120x1024 | 08:55 |
| fabbione | just for testing is fine... | 08:55 |
| fabbione | display trider-g7.int.fabbione.net:1.0 1600x1200; | 08:55 |
| fabbione | this is my master head... in my case | 08:55 |
| jblack | This isn't going to work. | 08:56 |
| fabbione | why not? | 08:56 |
| jblack | different screen sizes, no hostnames | 08:56 |
| fabbione | you can use /etc/hosts for that | 08:57 |
| fabbione | and you can set the screen to share at least one dimension | 08:57 |

| jblack | not on this display. I don't have a monitor that matches the lcd | 08:59 |
| fabbione | ah o | 08:59 |
| fabbione | k | 08:59 |
| fabbione | well | 09:00 |

| fabbione | so you know how to do it | 09:00 |
| jblack | I'm trying something else. | 09:00 |
| fabbione | ok | 09:00 |
| jblack | on the slave machine, in my .xinitrc I put "ssh -X otherlaptop startkde" | 09:00 |
| fabbione | that won't help much | 09:01 |
| jblack | Well, its not the same screen, so I can't move windows across or anything... | 09:01 |
| jblack | but I have my home dir | 09:01 |
| fabbione | jblack: if the point is only /home just use nfs to share it between them | 09:02 |
| fabbione | that's what i do here | 09:02 |
| doko | fabbione: any preference to but the avm isdn modules in separate binary packages, or bloat the existing packages? (size increase from 1.5mb to 4.5mb) | 09:03 |
| fabbione | doko: i have no preferences.. that's up to mdz.. the policy is pretty clear.. no extra kernel modules (that needs support) outside kernel and l-r-m | 09:04 |
| jblack | I really appreciate the help | 09:05 |
| fabbione | jblack: anytime | 09:05 |
| doko | fabbione: mdz wanted to decide us on that. I think the argument is no extra kernel modules built from other sources. I just do not want to bloat each binary driver package with 3mb stuff nobody really needs outside of .de (maybe .no, hi Mithrandir). | 09:08 |
| fabbione | doko: what about one -firmware package out of l-r-m ? | 09:08 |
| fabbione | firmwares are not compiled so there is no need for them to be versioned | 09:09 |
| Treenaks | fabbione: some kernels only work with some firmware versions | 09:09 |
| doko | linux-restricted-firmware for all kind of firmware? I think kamion won't be happy with that for the firmware he needs for the udeb's. | 09:10 |
| fabbione | Treenaks: some drivers require specific firmware versions, but in this case.. since they come from the same source a versioned dep would do | 09:10 |
| fabbione | doko: until you create the proper udebs i don't see the problem.. perhaps let's wait for Kamion to wake up? | 09:11 |
| fabbione | doko: actually... | 09:11 |
| fabbione | no | 09:11 |
| fabbione | this doesn't work | 09:11 |
| fabbione | Treenaks is partially right | 09:11 |
| fabbione | what if i have 3 kernels installed? | 09:11 |
| fabbione | that would create weird conflicts installing l-r-f | 09:12 |
| fabbione | i need a network cable... brb | 09:13 |
| doko | hmm, ok I'll have to ask if the avm firmware is dependent on the driver | 09:14 |

| HostingGeek | i hate it when some loser take the job of being a package maniger and does nothing for 130+ days | 09:56 |
| d3vic3 | the bug is in amd64 | 09:56 |

| d3vic3 | and how do I upload the fix ? | 09:57 |

| HostingGeek | its offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:49 |

| HostingGeek | Treenaks: no make it explode | 10:56 |
| HostingGeek | bob2: 0_0 | 10:56 |
| Keybuk | bob2: except that's actually quite a useful thing to do | 10:57 |
| fabbione | given that the patch to delay mount of root of 10 secs will not go kernel upstream | 10:57 |
| mjt | delay mount?? | 10:58 |
| fabbione | yes | 10:58 |
| fabbione | for some cases that will be required | 10:58 |
| Keybuk | scsi cards to settle? | 10:58 |
| HostingGeek | why the hell will you want to do that | 10:58 |
| fabbione | basically the kernel will sleep 10 secs | 10:58 |
| mjt | there's a patch for 2.4 (taken from Owl) | 10:59 |
| HostingGeek | because there is no sprate root partion by default | 10:59 |
| mjt | but it does not sleeps, but retries mounting root | 10:59 |
| mjt | to allow eg usb cd-rom to initialize | 10:59 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: because of some booting methods that are not "syncable" like from usb | 10:59 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: during boot the usb stick is seen as a floppy | 10:59 |
| HostingGeek | haha my friend says his win xp takes 10min to boot | 10:59 |
| fabbione | while it changes is status after it gets probed correctly | 10:59 |
| mjt | while(mount() != 0) { sleep(); } it is, sort of | 11:00 |
| Keybuk | that's a hell of a penalty for normal people though | 11:00 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: well that's why they are still discussing it | 11:00 |
| Keybuk | given how many times the average kernel developer reboots, I can't quite see that one making it in :p | 11:00 |
| Treenaks | how about a "sleep 10&& exit".ko | 11:00 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: you will be surprised how often they do NOT reboor | 11:00 |
| fabbione | reboot | 11:00 |
| Keybuk | isn't the initrd the right place to do that though? | 11:01 |
| bob2 | 'it compiles, ship it' | 11:01 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: not necessarely.. not all kernels boot with initrd | 11:01 |
| fabbione | it's a feature.. it is not mandatory | 11:02 |
| Keybuk | too much stuff is a feature these days :) | 11:02 |

| HostingGeek | Keybuk: lol | 11:03 |
| Mithrandir | uhm, did the ftp server which handles uploads just die? | 11:04 |
| mjt | so, is it intentional pam.d/login does not include pam_limits? | 11:04 |
| Keybuk | mjt: should it? | 11:05 |
| mjt | at least it isn't consistent with all other ways to login | 11:05 |
| Keybuk | hmm? | 11:05 |
| Keybuk | only gdm has it | 11:05 |
| mjt | ssh, xdm, ... -- all "calls" to pam_limits | 11:05 |
| Keybuk | it could/should be in common-session if it's common | 11:06 |
| mjt | well.. yes and no | 11:06 |
| mjt | more for "yes" than for 'no' ;) | 11:06 |
| mjt | cron also does not list it -- the only real reason cron was "pamified" | 11:07 |
| Keybuk | it's probably that people bugged the wrong people, and made the Debian ssh/gdm maintainers add it -- rather than bugging the pam maintainer | 11:07 |
| mjt | and now there's another question: pam_limits, if no limit is given, set it to unlimited. | 11:08 |
| mjt | i think this isn't right | 11:08 |
| mjt | at least `unlimited' should not be the default for everyhing | 11:08 |
| mjt | (so, loging on my system (without pam_limit) behaves "better" than ssh with pam_limit0 | 11:09 |
| mjt | s/0/)/ | 11:09 |
| mjt | s/loging/login/ bah | 11:09 |
| Keybuk | no idea, it's not something I know much about | 11:10 |
| Keybuk | pam scares me | 11:10 |
| mjt | i was trying to debug why the hell i have eg max_locked_memory=unlimited while limits.conf does not mention the limit, and kernel sets it to 32k.. pam_limits was the problem | 11:11 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: pam is good for you | 11:11 |

| pitti | carlos: I can now generate base language pack debs fully automatically | 12:29 |
| carlos | cool | 12:29 |
| pitti | carlos: now I'm working on the -update debs | 12:29 |
| pitti | carlos: what's the status of rosetta? | 12:29 |
| carlos | pitti: seems to be working again | 12:30 |
| pitti | carlos: no, I mean the Hoary import | 12:30 |
| carlos | pitti: today we are going to do an import of about 100 packages | 12:30 |
| pitti | cool | 12:30 |
| pitti | carlos: I still need some time anyway; the update debs are much trickier | 12:31 |
| pitti | elmo: here? | 12:32 |
| elmo | yes | 12:32 |
| carlos | pitti: we have today a Rosetta meeting about our future goals so I think we could give you an schedule for your needs | 12:32 |
| pitti | elmo: I'm currently thinking about how to package the language pack update debs | 12:32 |
| pitti | elmo: would it be possible/wise to accept binary deb uploads for these? | 12:33 |
| elmo | no? | 12:33 |
| pitti | elmo: if only source package uploads are accepted, then I have to generate a souce package for each supported locale | 12:33 |
| pitti | elmo: if we only upload debs, then one source package (which spits out several debs) would be enough and much easier | 12:33 |
| pitti | elmo: ^ because only a few languages will need updating every day, not all | 12:34 |
| elmo | hang on, what was the eventual resolution of the BOF? | 12:35 |
| elmo | because it sounds like we've de-evolved back to square one | 12:35 |
| pitti | elmo: we provide language-pack-$LOCALE packages at the release time (and every now and then) | 12:35 |
| pitti | elmo: and provide language-pack-$LOCALE-update every day | 12:35 |
| elmo | WHAT? | 12:35 |
| pitti | elmo: the latter packages are going to be tiny | 12:35 |
| pitti | elmo: that was the resolution of the BOF | 12:35 |
| pitti | elmo: that's why I want to avoid uploading new debs daily if their language did not change at that day | 12:36 |
| Kamion | huh, I have to implement accept_types and reject_types in cdebconf and make sure the stack driver works before I can move the password questions to the first stage | 12:36 |
| elmo | then split the source package? | 12:36 |
| === Kamion rolls up sleeves | ||
| pitti | elmo: okay, then I don't generate the debs in the source package on the fly, but I generate the source packages itself automatically | 12:37 |
| elmo | because, I'm not going to start randomly rewriting the debian packaging rule book to override such basics as "each binary must have an associated source package" and "when you rebuild the source package you get this (and possibly other) binary/ies" | 12:37 |
| pitti | okay | 12:38 |
| azeem | elmo: so just write a new one | 12:38 |
| Mithrandir | elmo: would you care to update the override file for hoary and add gaim-data to main (it's a dependency of gaim)? | 12:39 |
| Mithrandir | if you're getting reminders about such stuff automatically, please tell me and I'll shut up :) | 12:39 |
| elmo | pitti: hang on, what happens to these -update packages? are they cumulative? | 12:41 |
| pitti | elmo: yes, relative to the latest -base package | 12:41 |
| pitti | elmo: otherwise you would accumulate lots and lots of -update packages | 12:41 |
| pitti | elmo: so you will only ever have the base and one -update package installed | 12:41 |
| pitti | elmo: as soon as the -update packages get too big, we can release a new base at any time | 12:42 |
| pitti | elmo: however, in the BOF it was believed that the updates are very small | 12:42 |

| sabdfl | elmo, kamion: do you think we need to handle byhand uploads? | 12:47 |
| Keybuk | is there anything byhand left? | 12:48 |
| sabdfl | some html files we can see | 12:48 |
| elmo | debian-installer uploads are BYHAND | 12:48 |
| elmo | so, err, yeah, I do | 12:48 |
| thom | lamont: ping? (in massive hope) | 12:49 |
| sabdfl | which bits are byhand? | 12:49 |
| elmo | sabdfl: everything that goes under installer-$ARCH? | 12:49 |
| sabdfl | if we will be building the cd images centrally, surely those can just be tracked directly and published by lucille? | 12:49 |
| sabdfl | kinnison is saying that the only byhand files he sees are html files | 12:50 |
| elmo | kinnison isn't looking very hard then | 12:50 |
| sabdfl | ok | 12:50 |
| elmo | BYHAND isn't used by very much, certainly, the only non-d-i thing these days is probably doc-debian ("the html files"), but the d-i case definitely needsw to be handled.. and if you want to special case it, sure | 12:51 |
| elmo | it's not just cd image stuff, it's netboot stuff and some other stuff | 12:51 |
| elmo | usb stick image media etc. | 12:52 |
| sabdfl | ok, kamion and kinnison will discuss further thursday | 12:52 |
| Kamion | elmo: what do you think of calling it byhand-installer or something, to allow the automation to work on something other than "oh, er, yeah, this looks a bit like a d-i tarball" | 12:53 |
| elmo | yeah, that'd be a good idea | 12:54 |
| sabdfl | do the byhand files go into predictable places? | 12:54 |
| elmo | sabdfl: for d-i, yes | 12:54 |
| Kamion | depends on the byhand | 12:54 |
| elmo | the whole point of byhand tho, is to allow people to do arbitrary things | 12:54 |
| === Kinnison [~dsilvers@haddenham.pepperfish.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | basically each byhand is "ftpmaster, please do something you think might be sensible with this"; but each *instance* of byhand has its own fairly predictable rules | 12:54 |
| sabdfl | i'm just trying to establish the set of typical rules | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | can we have dpkg.tar.gz again? :p *ducks* | 12:55 |
| Kamion | there aren't really any typical rules | 12:55 |
| sabdfl | run away... | 12:55 |
| elmo | Keybuk: I actually think we should :P, esp. if it were automated | 12:55 |
| elmo | it was nicer than trying to explain to people about ar and tar to extract debs | 12:55 |
| Kamion | elmo: what would happen at the moment if I did 'dpkg-distaddfile $(TARNAME) installer -' rather than 'byhand -'? I assume it'd get rejected? | 12:56 |
| === Kinnison is with Kamion on this. We should classify instances of byhand-type operations and work with those | ||
| Kamion | at which point they aren't byhand any more so the byhand- should be removed :) | 12:56 |
| elmo | Kamion: dunno.. feel free to try it, if they get rejected, I'll sort katie out to handle them | 12:56 |
| sabdfl | ok, i think that's a consensus | 12:56 |
| sabdfl | if we find an example of stuff that needs special processing, we'll figure out to handle it then | 12:57 |
| elmo | err, well, if you're going to do that, I wouldn't call it byhand | 12:57 |
| sabdfl | precisely ;-) | 12:57 |
| Kamion | hm, dpkg-distaddfile documents its second argument as the section | 12:57 |
| Kamion | so I presume there are just magic section special-cases | 12:57 |
| elmo | yes | 12:58 |
| Kamion | ok, I'll dive back into cdebconf then :) | 12:59 |
| sabdfl | thanks | 12:59 |
| Mithrandir | possibly make the section special/installer or something? | 12:59 |
| Mithrandir | so it's actually shown that it's special and not just magic. | 12:59 |
| sabdfl | good idea | 12:59 |
| elmo | special's a slightly loaded term tho ;P | 01:00 |
| elmo | non-deb/installer? anyway, whatever, let me know what you use and i'll update katie to cope | 01:00 |
| Keybuk | bling, crack, special ... we need a bigger dictionary | 01:00 |
| Kamion | might as well agree it now | 01:01 |
| sabdfl | thpecial... | 01:01 |
| HostingGeek | anyplans on having something like gdeb in hoary that will auto download all dependces | 01:01 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: pwgen? ;P | 01:01 |
| Kamion | HostingGeek: welcome to apt | 01:01 |
| HostingGeek | lol | 01:01 |
| HostingGeek | Kamion: no there are some apps that people download that are in deb format that are not inside a apt rep. | 01:02 |
| Kamion | HostingGeek: the people providing those should simply create an apt repository; it's not hard | 01:02 |
| Kamion | failing that you can create one yourself with apt-ftparchive | 01:03 |
| HostingGeek | yes | 01:03 |
| HostingGeek | but n00bs that download a program like amsn from the site are going to say why the hell am i getting these errors | 01:04 |
| Keybuk | that kind of thing scares me | 01:04 |
| elmo | well amsn is in universe for a start | 01:05 |
| HostingGeek | its a needed feature | 01:05 |
| Kamion | the code to retrieve dependencies is in apt; that's where it belongs. if you want to write something that creates a small apt repository and feeds it to apt to install a given package, feel free | 01:05 |
| Keybuk | "click here to download something and run it as root" ... "no, don't check it first" | 01:05 |
| Kamion | no, it's really not a needed feature, that's why we have universe/multiverse :) | 01:05 |
| Kamion | and a billion random apt repositories all over the planet | 01:05 |
| HostingGeek | there are sites that do make debs for a program that are not in the rep | 01:05 |
| Kamion | elmo: how about raw/installer? | 01:06 |
| elmo | Kamion: sure | 01:06 |
| HostingGeek | i know when i was a n00b and started learning howto program some IDIOT refered me to gambas and there was a deb on the siteand there was none in the rep till like version 0.9x | 01:06 |
| HostingGeek | my brain is still herting from what that idiot refered me to | 01:08 |
| Kamion | elmo: ok, I'll make the next non-urgent installer upload use that, then | 01:08 |
| elmo | oh, wait | 01:08 |
| elmo | that'll be broken down to component: raw, section: installer | 01:09 |
| Kamion | raw-installer then? | 01:09 |
| elmo | yes, please | 01:09 |
| Kamion | would be nice to document the precise upload format expected for all known raw subtypes | 01:09 |
| elmo | document where? | 01:10 |
| Kamion | no idea :) | 01:10 |
| HostingGeek | Kamion: look it will be a nice feature to have | 01:10 |
| HostingGeek | it will make life easier | 01:10 |
| HostingGeek | maybe the app should use apt-ftparchive to do this | 01:11 |
| Kamion | if you're on #ubuntu-devel you are implicitly signalling a willingness to do development, so well volunteered ;) | 01:11 |
| === Kinnison [~dsilvers@haddenham.pepperfish.net] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| HostingGeek | and as a lot of people are not use to the idea of package maniger and still use to the idea that redhat and winbloze put in there head installers | 01:12 |
| HostingGeek | this will make the deb format into a basic installer as well as be a package maniger format | 01:13 |
| HostingGeek | Kamion: hmm maybe i will | 01:13 |
| Kamion | it's just wrong to encourage people to download and install unsigned stuff as root, though; there's a reason we're doing signed apt repositories for hoary | 01:13 |
| HostingGeek | dah | 01:14 |
| HostingGeek | thats why it should use apt-ftparchive | 01:14 |
| Kamion | errr, no, you've already downloaded an unsigned deb | 01:14 |
| HostingGeek | no no one said that deb is unsigned | 01:15 |
| Kamion | it is | 01:15 |
| Kamion | signatures live at a higher layer, not in each individual package | 01:15 |
| HostingGeek | Kamion: well the deb on amsn site and in the rep are the same deb | 01:15 |
| Kamion | I rather doubt that, we rebuild all packages from source | 01:16 |
| HostingGeek | Kamion: why not in each package | 01:16 |
| Kamion | it cannot possibly be bitwise-identical unless they took the deb from us (which seems unlikely) | 01:16 |
| HostingGeek | i see i misunderstood this apt 0.6 feature | 01:16 |
| === Kamion doesn't really feel like rehashing the 2000-message discussion about package signing | ||
| HostingGeek | so who will the end user install a app from somewhere like... mallarat | 01:17 |
| HostingGeek | *typo* | 01:17 |
| Kamion | third-party repository administrators should just sign their repositories. it's not hard. | 01:18 |
| mvo_ | not hard at all :) | 01:18 |
| HostingGeek | Kamion: btw can we include more apps in universe | 01:18 |
| Kamion | (then you have trust path issues etc., but at least it's *possible*) | 01:18 |
| === pitti discovers http://www.eta.immi.gov.au/ | ||
| HostingGeek | Kamion: well they don't as debian isn't using apt 0.6 yet | 01:18 |
| thom | pitti: yeah, ETA is goodness | 01:19 |
| Kamion | universe> that's sort of what universe is for | 01:19 |
| Kamion | HostingGeek: you can verify repository signatures without apt 0.6; apt 0.6 just makes it more convenient | 01:19 |
| HostingGeek | Kamion: there is about 50 apps or so all of us want that are in unoffical reps like nvu | 01:19 |
| pitti | thom: I still need to get a passport, but good to know that at least the visa is a near non-issue | 01:19 |

| fabbione | Kamion: does udeb support bzip2? | 01:33 |
| fabbione | the format i mean... | 01:33 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: no | 01:33 |
| fabbione | ok | 01:33 |
| Mithrandir | at least, it didn't some time ago, and I'm not sure we want it to. | 01:33 |
| Kamion | hasn't been added AFAIK | 01:34 |
| elmo | yeah, I thought bzip2 support was meant to be limited to things like doc packages where it's an obvious win? | 01:34 |
| fabbione | it's ok... i am testing the kernel build using bzip2, but udebs are created in a separate target | 01:34 |
| Kamion | well ... a lot of the bloat in .udebs does come from stonking templates files | 01:34 |
| fabbione | elmo: i am just doing a test on mdz request | 01:35 |
| Kamion | most of that's outside the initrd though, which is where it really matters; the bulk of the initrd is modules | 01:35 |
| fabbione | all header files should be a gain | 01:35 |
| Kamion | snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "ar -p %s data.tar.gz|tar -xzf -", pkg->file); | 01:35 |
| Kamion | that's hardwired | 01:35 |

| Mithrandir | d3vic3: why are you build-depending on module-assistant? | 01:46 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: clearly, !arch should be #!/usr/bin/dpkg | 01:48 |

| Mithrandir | d3vic3: http://err.no/~tfheen/cloop.diff is the cleaned-up patch I got. | 01:50 |
| Mithrandir | part of that sillyness (patching config.log and makefile) isn't your fault. | 01:51 |
| d3vic3 | theres a lesson to be learned here issin't there | 01:53 |
| sabdfl | HostingGeek: yes | 01:53 |
| Mithrandir | d3vic3: yes, make readable patches, so you don't get questions like "why did you do $foo" and you think you didn't, but the patch shows you did. :) | 01:54 |
| Mithrandir | d3vic3: no worries, I'll just remove that part of the patch before testing. | 01:54 |

| bob2 | probably best to coordinate with whoever ITP'd it for Debian, too | 01:56 |
| Treenaks | HostingGeek: rebuilding a package for a new version is easy | 01:56 |
| HostingGeek | why can't debian fire the nvu package maniger if he can't do it in 183+ days then he shouldn't take the jobs lots of other have been abled to | 01:57 |
| Keybuk | HostingGeek: an ITP isn't a lock | 01:57 |
| bob2 | HostingGeek: erm, maybe you should email him/her and ask if you can help? | 01:58 |
| Keybuk | it's just an announcement that they're working on one | 01:58 |
| HostingGeek | bob2: i have emailed him to ask what taking so long but no answer | 01:58 |
| bob2 | HostingGeek: did you CC the ITP bug? | 01:58 |
| Treenaks | Keybuk: it's an advisory lock :) | 01:58 |
| Keybuk | HostingGeek: then I'd reassign the ITP to yourself and package it | 01:59 |

| HostingGeek | # nvu | 02:03 |
| HostingGeek | deb http://www.linuxbh.org/naarea/ pacotes/ | 02:03 |
| HostingGeek | that rep apparently has nvu | 02:03 |
| HostingGeek | i have not tested it | 02:03 |
| HostingGeek | and i get a 403 from http://www.linuxbh.org/naarea/ | 02:04 |
| Keybuk | it only has binary .debs on it though, at a glance | 02:04 |
| Keybuk | obviously anything in universe is built on our autobuilder network, so it's the source package we'd need | 02:04 |
| HostingGeek | Keybuk: nvu is GPL | 02:04 |
| HostingGeek | we can force the code from him | 02:04 |
| Keybuk | I wouldn't be surprised if he threw it away | 02:05 |
| azeem | HostingGeek: did you ever package a .deb? | 02:05 |
| Keybuk | he has a "written offer" from linspire, so can just point you at their website if he's not changed anything | 02:05 |
| HostingGeek | azeem: yes and ask bob2 about it | 02:05 |
| bob2 | you made a package? of what? | 02:05 |
| HostingGeek | bob2: you remeber my port of gaim 1 to warty and xchat 2.4 | 02:06 |
| Kamion | since you keep changing nicks I'd imagine it's hard for anyone to remember | 02:06 |
| bob2 | you didn't make packages | 02:06 |
| bob2 | you ran 'apt-get source -b xchat' on warty against hoary's source repository | 02:06 |
| HostingGeek | bob2: no i didn't | 02:07 |
| HostingGeek | hoary wasn't open yet | 02:07 |
| bob2 | that's what you told me at the time | 02:07 |
| bob2 | or sid then | 02:07 |
| Keybuk | to clarify, what we need for ubuntu is the .orig.tar.gz (probably just a renamed upstream tarball), a .diff.gz containing the debian/ directory with all the control files in and any patches to make nvu comply with Debian policy and the .dsc file that goes along with both | 02:07 |
| bob2 | HostingGeek: assuming you're GMAIL aka GNU-DEBIAN aka shimun aka shimon | 02:07 |
| HostingGeek | you said it will be 2 week till hoary merges | 02:07 |
| HostingGeek | i was never shimun | 02:08 |
| HostingGeek | and you forgot Ubuntu-linux | 02:08 |
| bob2 | it'd be really great if you could stop changing nicks, too | 02:08 |
| azeem | or have a real name | 02:09 |
| elmo | azeem: yeah, Ben | 02:09 |
| azeem | shuddup | 02:09 |
| HostingGeek | shimon is my real name | 02:10 |
| Keybuk | what's worse is I have to think to remember azeem's real name | 02:10 |

| HostingGeek | *why | 02:13 |
| bob2 | because you tend to ramble and paste odd things while people are having technical discussions | 02:14 |
| tseng | HostingGeek: because the channel is mostly about the developers working while we politely watch or try to help out where we can | 02:14 |

| HostingGeek | and i also have gambas 1 gtk (OMG GTK+) debs | 02:32 |
| Mithrandir | d3vic3: make sure you start from pristine source, then apply the patch. Write an appropriate changelog entry (where you make sure to note the bug# of the bug you have fixed) and build the package using debuild -S. Since you don't have anywhere to put it online, just mail me the .dsc and the .diff.gz | 02:33 |

| Treenaks | thom: yeah I noticed | 02:43 |
| Keybuk | Treenaks: yeah, your point? :p | 02:43 |

| Keybuk | HostingGeek: you're not listening to a single word I say, clearly | 03:17 |
| lamont | thom: the two solutions are (1) complete virtual map (has naked domain on LHS) that maps everything to some other domain(s), one or more of which are delivered to some vda/imap/whatever, and (2) partial virtual map (no naked domain on LHS) with a transport map that delivers said domain (if not rewritten) to some vda/imap/whatever | 03:18 |
| Nafallo | thom: find gives me kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/powernow-k8.ko | 03:18 |
| HostingGeek | Keybuk: but its easier to make the package safe than making our own | 03:18 |
| fabbione | Nafallo: and what is the problem with that? | 03:18 |
| Keybuk | HostingGeek: Read What I Said. | 03:19 |
| Kamion | lamont: yeah | 03:19 |
| HostingGeek | That. Source. Package. Is. Unsafe. | 03:19 |
| Nafallo | fabbione: probably just chasing ghosts while trying to make powernowd load the right stuff. | 03:19 |
| Keybuk | HostingGeek: and why did I say it was unsafe? | 03:19 |
| HostingGeek | yes now just remove the un and it will become safe | 03:19 |
| Nafallo | fabbione: I was expecting to find all cpufreq-stuff in one place :-) | 03:20 |
| HostingGeek | its possible to make something unsafe, safe | 03:20 |
| lamont | Kamion: now, or after -6? | 03:20 |
| fabbione | Nafallo: a call to modprobe doesn't imply a path, so that it is bogus and the kernel is allowed to put stuff around. it doesn't matter at the end where it is | 03:20 |
| Keybuk | HostingGeek: ok, now listen carefully | 03:20 |
| Keybuk | A Debian source package consists of three files. | 03:20 |
| Keybuk | 1) A tarball containing the source code | 03:20 |
| HostingGeek | i know | 03:20 |
| Keybuk | 2) A patch adding Debian-specific magic | 03:20 |
| Kamion | lamont: don't really mind personally, depends whether mdz wants amd64 | 03:20 |
| Keybuk | 3) A file describing it, and (here's the clever bit), the size and a checksum for the other two | 03:21 |
| Kamion | lamont: if amd64's wanted now then we need a new build now; if it's not urgent then we can wait | 03:21 |
| lamont | Kamion: I can run one now, or just before the meeting at 1600Z | 03:21 |
| Nafallo | fabbione: oki. loading it didn't help the damn script either :-P. | 03:21 |
| Kamion | lamont: go for it now, I guess, it's cheap right? :) | 03:21 |
| Keybuk | the size and checksum listed in the description file for the tarball with the source in _does_not_match_ the size and checksum of the tarball alongside it on that site | 03:21 |
| === Nafallo goes back to dig through the damn script * | ||
| Keybuk | from this you can infer a great many things | 03:22 |
| fabbione | lamont, Kamion: -6 will push new packages with an ABI change and mostlikely to break other stuff like linux-meta and l-r-m. THat's probably why mdz wants everything done before my upload | 03:22 |
| Keybuk | I choose to infer that somebody has compromised that FTP site and replaced the tarball with one that exploits some new problem in tar, and will wipe my system if I unpack it | 03:22 |
| thom | lamont: nod, thanks | 03:22 |
| fabbione | and i have no rush to upload -6 | 03:22 |
| === Mithrandir kicks self. | ||

| HostingGeek | email linex about it | 03:23 |
| Keybuk | I have no reason to | 03:23 |
| Kamion | HostingGeek: you're the one pushing for it, you should take responsibility | 03:23 |
| Keybuk | feel free to do so yourself | 03:23 |
| Nafallo | Mithrandir: what's the status of those torrents? seems I got only one down while sleeping. | 03:23 |

| fabbione | mdz: you awake yet? | 03:24 |

| Nafallo | Mithrandir: yikes, I thought you had them coming with ftp? | 03:24 |
| Keybuk | probably better than you | 03:24 |
| Mithrandir | Nafallo: yes, and that sftp I'm getting them over is sloooooow. | 03:24 |

| Keybuk | damn, bubulle woke up and mirrored the missing patch | 03:33 |

| lamont | Mithrandir: can you fix it quick? | 03:33 |
| Mithrandir | yeah, working on it right now. | 03:33 |
| Treenaks | Mithrandir: but basically you only have one file to seed right now? | 03:34 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: correct. | 03:34 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: I have about a third of mshuttleworth_small.avi as well | 03:34 |
| lamont | Kamion: fabbione: I'll try another livecd in a bit, then. | 03:35 |
| lamont | although I wonder what's up with gstreamer as well.. | 03:35 |
| Treenaks | Mithrandir: OK.. can I start using the torrents and wait for you to start seeding? | 03:35 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: sure | 03:35 |
| Treenaks | OK :) | 03:35 |
| HostingGeek | Mithrandir: nice one so i shouldn't do an upgrade just yet as i was about to? | 03:36 |
| lamont | doko: could it be that we need a new something? locale: error while loading shared libraries: libunwind.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 03:36 |

| lamont | ah, gstreamer: totem-gstreamer: Depends: libnautilus-burn0 (>= 2.8.3) but it is not installable | 03:38 |
| HostingGeek | Mithrandir: couldn't you delete a file out of the rep if it only been there for a few min and then renumber the old verion up one | 03:38 |
| lamont | seb128: does a simple rebuild of totem-gstreamer work? | 03:38 |
| Mithrandir | HostingGeek: no, that's not how it's done. | 03:38 |
| seb128 | should | 03:38 |
| seb128 | lamont: but 0.100 is in the archive, which one is failing ? | 03:39 |
| Kamion | HostingGeek: (a) no, he can't, (b) even if he could, he wouldn't, because it leads to more confusion in the long run if people had downloaded the package in that interval | 03:39 |
| lamont | 0.100-0ubuntu1 was built against old nautilus | 03:39 |
| Nafallo | Mithrandir: you are 200x faster than me both up and down, so that wasn't pointed at you ;-). | 03:40 |
| seb128 | hum ok | 03:40 |
| lamont | bumped the build-dep to libnautilus-burn-dev (>= 2.9.4), uploading -ubunut2 | 03:40 |

| seb128 | AC_MSG_ERROR(libnautilus-burn < 2.9.0 is needed)) | 03:40 |
| seb128 | in totem | 03:40 |
| seb128 | it was meant to build with 2.8.6 | 03:41 |
| lamont | seb128: could you fix it so it's installable again? | 03:41 |
| seb128 | not atm | 03:41 |
| lamont | libnautilus-burn0 is no longer in the archive | 03:41 |
| seb128 | need some upstream work to be compatible with the new libnautilus-burn1 | 03:41 |
| Mithrandir | lamont: ok, new gaim uploaded. | 03:42 |
| seb128 | that's on my todo list, but I've still 9 tarballs from 2.9.4 to package ... it'll take some time | 03:42 |
| Mithrandir | now I need to fix cloop-utils for d3vic3 | 03:42 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: and me... | 03:42 |
| seb128 | lamont: don't bother with GNOME ftbfs for today and yesterday, there is bunch of problem, I'll solve them when all the 2.9.4 tarballs are packaged | 03:42 |
| Mithrandir | lamont: yeah, but Charles is the one who produced a patch | 03:42 |
| lamont | seb128: the other option is that I manually drop it from the Depends: in ubuntu-desktop, so that we can have a livecd to test... | 03:43 |
| Kamion | ugh | 03:43 |
| seb128 | lamont: let me 15min to try to fix it first | 03:43 |
| seb128 | just pinging upstream side | 03:44 |
| lamont | seb128: OK. I'll go ahead and disappear for a bit, then check with you and do one or the other. | 03:44 |
| seb128 | ok | 03:44 |
| lamont | ideally, an upload within the next 15 minutes would be great. | 03:44 |
| lamont | (before :00) | 03:44 |
| seb128 | will try, but that's probably a bit short to find a fix, patch, try and upload | 03:45 |

| mdz | Kamion: ah, udeb/livefs mismatch | 04:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: built with -5 kernel udebs and -4 in the livefs | 04:38 |
| fabbione | mdz: building the kernel with bzip2 we save almost nothing | 04:38 |
| Kamion | seb128: really? | 04:38 |
| mdz | fabbione: really? I'm surprised, but thanks for testing | 04:38 |
| seb128 | yeah, some GNOME dude use valgrind on ppc | 04:38 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: I'd have to rebuild the binary I'm valgrinding anyway, so that wouldn't really save much | 04:39 |
| fabbione | mdz: approx 9MB for all the i386 of which an average of 1.6/1.8 on the images and we lose on doc and other stuff | 04:39 |

| Kamion | lamont: yes | 04:53 |
| cartman | Kamion: source tarball should compile everywhere afaik. if not its a bug | 04:53 |

| Kamion | cartman: porting valgrind is not even a little bit trivial | 04:55 |
| cartman | Kamion: ah its not ported? | 04:55 |
| cartman | I thought it was ported hence it should compile | 04:55 |
| Kamion | cartman: it emulates an i386 processor; to make it useful on powerpc, you have to make it emulate a powerpc processor | 04:55 |
| Kamion | cartman: this is not exactly a "just works" thing | 04:56 |
| cartman | Kamion: yes I know but didn't know it wasn't working on powerpc | 04:56 |

| OddAbe19 | thanks for bringing up the subject, i forgot | 06:13 |
| OddAbe19 | lol | 06:13 |
| mjg59 | thom: We need to do acpi-support | 06:13 |
| thom | yes, we do | 06:14 |
| trukulo | we need suspend support :P | 06:14 |
| mjg59 | trukulo: It's there | 06:14 |
| thom | trukulo: hush in the cheap seats | 06:14 |
| mjg59 | It just needs acpi-support to be dealt with | 06:14 |
| mjg59 | thom: We also need to decide what to do about loading hotkey modules | 06:14 |
| trukulo | i'm in warty, don't listen me ;) | 06:14 |
| mjg59 | thom: I think the scripts in my package ought to be a decent starting point, except for a couple of things: | 06:16 |
| mjg59 | 1) We don't want to do video restore stuff on resume from disk | 06:16 |
| thom | ok | 06:16 |
| mjg59 | 2) Most of the dodgy hardware stuff ought to be wrapped in config checks (enabled by default) | 06:16 |
| mjg59 | Oh, and we ought to have a list of modules to remove/reload on suspend/resume (empty by default) | 06:17 |
| mjg59 | And then we just need the scripts to check whether suspend is enabled or not | 06:17 |
| pitti | elmo: can you please sync tiff? | 06:17 |
| thom | right | 06:17 |
| === cartman [foobar@cartman.developer.konversation] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | Then we can hand script names off to seb and get them in the logout dialogue | 06:17 |
| mjg59 | Oh, argh. Except suspend to RAM shouldn't appear there if it's disabled in the config file. Oh well. | 06:18 |
| thom | yeah, that might be a tricky one | 06:18 |
| mjg59 | Never mind. That's seb's problem :) | 06:18 |
| thom | is it possible to have conditional entries in the logout dialog? guess probably not | 06:18 |
| elmo | pitti: done | 06:18 |
| mjg59 | I'm sure it's a simple matter of coding... | 06:19 |
| mjg59 | And then I just need to go through the hotkey modules and work out all the possible events sleep and hibernate buttons may generate... | 06:19 |
| mjg59 | thom: Is it worth looking into having the power button generate a logout dialogue rather than hibernating by default? | 06:20 |
| pitti | thanks | 06:20 |
| thom | i think that's the best option; current behaviour seems to surprise people a bit | 06:21 |
| mjg59 | Last time I tried this, I had to write a small hacky client that connected to the session manager and generated a logout event | 06:22 |
| mjg59 | I can't remember if there's a proper way to do it | 06:22 |
| Mithrandir | dbusify gdm and have something throw ACPI events onto the system dbus? | 06:23 |
| mjg59 | Well, yeah | 06:26 |
| mjg59 | thom: At the moment, most ACPI drivers don't actually get loaded. We should probably change that. | 06:26 |
| mdz | seb128, lamont: do we have an installable desktop yet? | 06:27 |
| mxpxpod | since the gtkmm api is frozen, do you think we could get gtkmm 2.5.5 and glibmm 2.5.4 packages into hoary? | 06:27 |
| thom | i'm not sure how we do that better, unless we try detecting what we have in the same way that we're doing so for powernowd | 06:27 |
| mjg59 | That'd be one way. Alternatively, we just try loading all of them. | 06:28 |
| thom | yeah, we used to do that | 06:30 |
| thom | one of the hotkey modules spits it's dummy | 06:30 |
| lamont | mdz: should in 3 minutes | 06:30 |
| thom | and spews errors all over the shop | 06:30 |
| mjg59 | thom: Eww. Can't we just remove its irritating printks? | 06:30 |
| thom | yeah | 06:31 |
| thom | i wasn't sure if it was anything more harmful | 06:31 |
| lamont | mdz: I think we do need to augment ubuntu-meta with a list of excluded-by-arch packages... | 06:31 |
| mjg59 | thom: I'd say go with it, and then we can work out if there's anything broken afterwards | 06:31 |

| crimsun | ugh, not that again. | 07:35 |
| metalikop | heh | 07:35 |
| OddAbe19 | lol | 07:35 |
| metalikop | uh oh | 07:35 |
| azeem | metalikop: what's the problem with multisync-evolution? | 07:36 |
| metalikop | libmultisync-plugin-evolution: Depends: libedata-book1.2-0 (>=1.1.1) but it is not installable Depends: libedata-cal1.2-0 (>=1.1.1) but it is not installable | 07:37 |
| mjg59 | metalikop: That sounds like it's the old Evolution plugin | 07:38 |
| mjg59 | Hoary ought to have one for Evolution 2 | 07:38 |
| metalikop | unfortunately I can't find one | 07:38 |
| azeem | nah 1.2 are the hoary e-d-s libs | 07:38 |
| azeem | or so I thought | 07:39 |
| seb128 | perhaps the soname have changed | 07:39 |
| azeem | ah, yeah | 07:40 |
| seb128 | and I'm uploading a new version with some new soname changes in a few min ... | 07:40 |
| azeem | it's 1.2-1 now | 07:40 |
| metalikop | very nice ;) | 07:40 |
| metalikop | so why the "not that again" regarding gnome-bluetooth | 07:40 |
| seb128 | ? | 07:40 |
| azeem | metalikop: it was about that guy parting all the time | 07:40 |
| metalikop | oh oh | 07:40 |
| azeem | not about gnome-bluetooth (or so I think) | 07:40 |
| metalikop | acceptable. | 07:41 |
| Kamion | elmo: is there any value in my asking you to sync cdebconf from incoming only to immediately branch it into cdebconf 0.74ubuntu1? I guess having it in the morgue might help with future merges? | 07:43 |

| trukulo | no fabbione | 08:23 |

| Treenaks | wireless link monitor is gone | 08:31 |
| smurfix | Treenaks: isn't it in another package now? | 08:32 |
| Treenaks | smurfix: it's not in the default set of gnome applets antmore | 08:32 |
| mako | Mithrandir: yeah.. i got to that point too.. i was trying to get bigmako too | 08:33 |
| Mithrandir | mako: trukulo's uplink is slow, so it takes me half a day to get each of those. I'm putting them online when they're complete. | 08:34 |
| smurfix | Treenaks: right. From the gnome-applets changelog.Debian: - remove wireless applet (replaced by gnome-netstatus) | 08:34 |
| Treenaks | smurfix: yes, the applet got replaced on my bar | 08:35 |

| trukulo | mark's one is online | 08:45 |
| Treenaks | hm.. | 08:45 |
| Treenaks | oh wait | 08:45 |
| Treenaks | I have the _big ones | 08:45 |
| Treenaks | those will probably take some more time | 08:45 |
| trukulo | you have the ENTIRE big ones? | 08:45 |
| Treenaks | trukulo: no, just the .torrents | 08:46 |
| trukulo | they are broken now | 08:46 |
| trukulo | look this | 08:46 |
| Treenaks | trukulo: if I had the entire _big ones I'd seed them at 100mbit :) | 08:46 |
| trukulo | www.badopi.org/videos | 08:46 |
| trukulo | here are the new (valid) ones | 08:46 |
| trukulo | only two atm | 08:46 |
| Treenaks | trukulo: I got my torrents direct from mithrandir's site | 08:46 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: the mshuttleworth_small | 08:46 |
| trukulo | Treenaks, he only has 2 | 08:47 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: it's the same torrens. | 08:47 |
| Mithrandir | +t | 08:47 |
| trukulo | i'm remotely uploading the .avi | 08:47 |
| Treenaks | this seems to work.. | 08:47 |
| Treenaks | I'll be seeding in ~14 minutes | 08:48 |
| Treenaks | trukulo: wow, what's the codec? | 08:49 |
| trukulo | avc divx | 08:49 |
| trukulo | i think | 08:49 |

| elmo | graphviz got CPLed | 08:49 |

| mako | trukulo: once these are all being seeded quickly, i'll announce them on ubuntu-news | 08:52 |
| trukulo | mako, perfect :) | 08:52 |
| mako | Mithrandir, trukulo: let me know | 08:52 |
| trukulo | ok | 08:52 |
| trukulo | i'll tell you when we have all of them | 08:53 |
| trukulo | but i think that would take 3 o 4 days | 08:53 |
| mako | that's cool | 08:53 |
| trukulo | small ones perhaps tomorrow | 08:53 |
| mako | the small ones look fine | 08:56 |
| mako | i just watched babymako | 08:57 |
| trukulo | :) | 08:58 |
| trukulo | i didn't see big ones | 08:58 |
| trukulo | but small one are: 400x320 | 08:59 |
| trukulo | and big ones: 720x576 | 08:59 |

| mdz | Kamion: we'll need a new one with casper 0.6 for amd64 anyway | 09:23 |

| mdz | ChrisH: the complete log for the meeting should be available from mako shortly, if not already | 09:24 |
| mdz | Kamion: uploaded already | 09:24 |
| ChrisH | sivang: Yes, sorry. It's my wife's anniversary today and I promised to stay offline. | 09:24 |

| ogra | heh | 09:24 |
| elmo | Kamion: yes | 09:24 |
| ChrisH | zul: Uh... I better don't tell that to my wife. ;) | 09:24 |
| elmo | kamion: CPL == same license as postfix | 09:25 |
| mdz | ChrisH: should be clear from the meeting, but at this point, primarily approving new people for upload privileges to universe | 09:25 |
| mdz | Kamion: /var/log/debian-installer is huge | 09:25 |
| ChrisH | mdz: So you are thinking of the coordination of "AMs" (if I may use that Debian term)? | 09:25 |
| Mithrandir | elmo: yay! :) | 09:25 |
| mdz | Kamion: but some bits of it are useful for the live CD | 09:25 |
| mdz | Kamion: can we arrange something so that we get, say, only hardware-summary.gz and syslog.gz ? | 09:26 |
| sivang | ChrisH: since you have experience with debian mentors, this seems fit :) | 09:26 |
| mdz | Kamion: (they probably ought to be compressed in all cases anyway) | 09:26 |
| mdz | elmo: will there be a proper release with the new license in time for hoary? | 09:26 |
| mdz | elmo: graphviz->main would be excellent | 09:26 |
| ChrisH | sivang: Sounded very interesting so far. I wish I could have placed my dumb questions during the -meeting. | 09:27 |
| Kamion | mdz: that's prebaseconfig/prebaseconfig.d/93save-install-log | 09:27 |
| mdz | Kamion: yes, I know | 09:27 |
| mdz | Kamion: should I hack it up to check some environment variable or something? | 09:27 |
| Kamion | for what? | 09:27 |
| magnon | mdz, aren't you doing security stuff on ubuntu? | 09:27 |
| mdz | Kamion: it wastes a huge amount of space on the live CD snapshot | 09:27 |
| Kamion | you could just rm the bits you don't want after it's done ... | 09:27 |
| mdz | Kamion: where things like templates.dat are not very interesting | 09:27 |
| mdz | Kamion: it's too late once they've been written | 09:28 |
| elmo | mdz: it'd be a big version hike, so we'd have to bend the rules, but 2.0 is available from the website | 09:28 |
| Kamion | mdz: hm, ok, file a bug and let me think about it ... | 09:28 |
| mdz | magnon: some, but Martin Pitt (pitti) has primary responsibility for security | 09:28 |
| Mithrandir | elmo, mdz: I could take a look at the new graphviz now if you'd like me to. | 09:28 |
| sivang | ChrisH: you might also want to coordinate with haggai as he is also considered for this lead role of MOTU. | 09:29 |
| sivang | (summing up what I saw during the CC meeting :) | 09:30 |
| ChrisH | sivang: yes, that's right | 09:30 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: sure | 09:30 |
| Kamion | mdz: shall I kick off a live CD build now, then? | 09:32 |
| mdz | Kamion: no point until lamont fixes the cloop image | 09:33 |
| mdz | and he said he was disappearing for 2-3 hours(?) | 09:33 |
| Kamion | oh, and casper 0.6 binaries aren't up yet | 09:33 |
| === mdz calls | ||
| elmo | mdz was being a muppet with the distro line ;) | 09:34 |
| elmo | so casper only just got in source-wise | 09:34 |
| mdz | elmo: distro line? | 09:37 |
| elmo | Distribution: unstable | 09:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: TBH I'm really thinking that duplicating the small bits of prebaseconfig that you actually need would be better than removing the large bits of prebaseconfig that you don't need in the current very fragile way; rebooting into base-config and pivoting into a live CD are totally different use cases and I think they deserve different code | 09:38 |
| mdz | Kamion: I want locale config, I want keyboard config, I want timezone config, I want network config | 09:39 |
| mdz | I do not want to duplicate all that code | 09:39 |
| Kamion | that is why casper.d should exist | 09:40 |
| Kamion | but the stuff in prebaseconfig is just not appropriate | 09:41 |
| Kamion | and I don't like casper running around rming stuff whose name is not guaranteed, and I don't think it makes logical sense to split prebaseconfig | 09:41 |
| mdz | I agree that the current approach of rming is far from ideal | 09:42 |
| mdz | so you think that things like 05localeconfig should be duplicated in casper.d by whichever module creates them? | 09:43 |
| Mithrandir | how about just keeping what you want and removing everything else? | 09:43 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: that has the same problems | 09:43 |
| Kamion | yes, unless the assumptions inherent in any split are very carefully documented | 09:43 |
| Kamion | both ordering and forward/reverse dependencies | 09:44 |
| mdz | I don't even know which udebs create those files | 09:44 |
| Kamion | localechooser, kbd-chooser, (tzsetup-udeb sort of assuming it works in that environment which it may not), netcfg | 09:45 |
| Kamion | tzsetup-udeb doesn't have a prebaseconfig script though | 09:46 |
| mdz | are those generally created at runtime, or shipped in the udeb? | 09:48 |
| Kamion | shipped in the udeb; there used to be a couple of things that created a prebaseconfig script at runtime, but netcfg got fixed to not do that any more | 09:50 |
| Kamion | hw-detect still fiddles with its prebaseconfig at runtime I think | 09:50 |
| Kamion | yeah, it does, for de4x5 blacklisting and pcmcia | 09:50 |
| mdz | ok, so hopefully just a handful of symlinks in the udebs, and modify hw-detect | 09:52 |
| Kamion | a symlink likewise | 09:52 |
| mdz | but to be created at runtime | 09:52 |
| Kamion | the file is shipped in the udeb, it gets appended to at run-time | 09:52 |
| mdz | oh | 09:52 |
| Kamion | sorry, unclear | 09:53 |
| mdz | what was the magic recipe to eject the CD during boot on powerpc again? | 09:53 |
| mdz | I thought it was holding down the left mouse button, but that doesn't work for me | 09:53 |
| Kamion | didn't know there was one, unless I ran across it by accident and forgot about it | 09:54 |
| Kamion | mdz: try cmd-opt-o-f and then 'eject cd' | 09:55 |
| mdz | Sep 28 17:31:45 <Kamion> mdz: one rumour claims holding down the left mouse button during boot also ejects the CD ... | 09:55 |
| mdz | Sep 28 18:19:10 <Kamion> mdz: incidentally that hold-down-left-mouse-button-during-boot-to-eject-CD trick worked for me too | 09:55 |
| Kamion | hm, ok | 09:55 |
| mdz | Kamion: what are cmd and opt on a us layout keyboard? | 09:55 |
| Kamion | obviously I forgot about it :) | 09:55 |
| amu | pressing mouse after warm-start is one | 09:55 |
| Kamion | do you have an apple key? | 09:55 |
| mdz | no | 09:55 |
| Kamion | uh | 09:55 |
| mdz | I have a 104-key keyboard | 09:55 |
| Kamion | command is normally apple, option is alt | 09:55 |
| mdz | maybe windows = apple | 09:55 |
| Mithrandir | yeah | 09:55 |
| Kamion | I don't know what to do if you don't have an apple key | 09:55 |
| Mithrandir | at least windows = apple | 09:56 |
| Mithrandir | uhm, apple = winows. | 09:56 |
| Kamion | mdz: that trick probably only works with an ADB mouse | 09:56 |
| Mithrandir | use a paperclip to eject the cd, then? | 09:56 |
| === Kamion thinks the open firmware trick is easier | ||
| Kamion | I haven't disassembled OF's mac-boot command yet, though | 09:57 |
| Kamion | mdz: why's it urgent to eject it during boot? | 09:57 |
| mdz | Kamion: because I'm tired of waiting for the entire system to boot so that I can type 'eject' and reboot it | 10:02 |
| mdz | I keep it turned off, generally | 10:02 |
| Kamion | heh, ok | 10:02 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: they cleverly block the eject button and hole with a bracket | 10:02 |
| mdz | Kamion: anyway, powerpc is not entirely a success, but worthwhile for you to download I think | 10:03 |
| mdz | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg hangs | 10:03 |
| Kamion | mdz: ok, 25% through | 10:03 |
| mdz | I think it might be pissed at being already running under debconf? | 10:03 |
| Kamion | ETA a couple of hours, so I'm off for the evening | 10:03 |
| mdz | (cdebconf, anyway) | 10:03 |
| Kamion | very possible; don't you disconnect from cdebconf? | 10:03 |
| mdz | can the debconf confmodule talk to cdebconf? | 10:03 |
| mdz | Kamion: this happens while the progress bar is still displayed | 10:03 |
| Kamion | yes, theoretically | 10:03 |
| Kamion | sort of | 10:04 |
| Kamion | they speak the same protocol (modulo extensions) over stdio | 10:04 |
| mdz | you'll probably want to comment out the dpkg-reconfigure for your test | 10:04 |
| Kamion | but the xserver-xorg templates will not be registered with cdebconf | 10:04 |
| Mithrandir | use the trick which is used when calling debootstrap and redirect stdout/stdin? | 10:04 |
| mdz | the hostname prompt turns out to be a convenient spot to switch over and fix stuff | 10:04 |
| mdz | so we shouldn't suppress that quite yet :-) | 10:04 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: not if you *want* the question to be asked :) | 10:04 |
| Kamion | mdz: for xserver-xorg, I'd recommend disconnecting from cdebconf instead | 10:05 |
| Kamion | hm, maybe not | 10:05 |
| mdz | Kamion: will that break the progress bar? | 10:05 |
| Kamion | tough problem | 10:05 |
| Kamion | if debconf actually asks the question, then it will probably break because it doesn't understand TERM=bterm | 10:06 |
| Kamion | you could register the xserver-xorg templates with cdebconf? | 10:06 |
| mdz | why doesn't it? | 10:06 |
| Kamion | because it doesn't need to ... | 10:06 |
| Kamion | also the UI looks slightly different | 10:06 |
| mdz | would -fnoninteractive help, or no? | 10:07 |
| mdz | presumably wouldn't fix the template situation | 10:07 |
| Kamion | noninteractive still talks to the database | 10:07 |
| Kamion | it would probably help providing that you disconnected | 10:07 |
| mdz | db_stop? | 10:07 |
| Kamion | no, db_stop can't fix up fds | 10:08 |
| Kamion | see rescue-mode.postinst | 10:08 |
| Kamion | disconnect_run and the stuff down near the bottom that sets OLD_* | 10:08 |
| Kamion | grotty but it works :) | 10:08 |
| mdz | where do $OLD_STDOUT etc. come from? | 10:09 |
| mdz | oh, set below | 10:09 |
| Kamion | yep | 10:09 |
| Kamion | the env -i is needed to unset various debconf-specific environment variables | 10:09 |
| Kamion | it might also be possible to unset them individually; baseconfig-udeb takes that approach | 10:10 |
| mdz | registering the templates with cdebconf starts to sound appealing | 10:10 |
| Kamion | I'd rather that cdebconf exported some way to do this, but I haven't been able to see how | 10:10 |
| mdz | is it permissible to ask a question in the middle of a progress bar anyway? | 10:10 |
| Kamion | depends; do you want to support people running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in the live filesystem? | 10:10 |
| mdz | yes | 10:10 |
| Kamion | you'd have to mess about with debconf-copydb to make that work then, if you had the questions asked by cdebconf | 10:11 |
| Kamion | yes, questions can be asked (by cdebconf) in the middle of a progress bar | 10:11 |
| Kamion | hw-detect does that | 10:11 |
| Kamion | and prebaseconfig | 10:11 |
| mdz | it's less important that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg have the probed values | 10:11 |
| Kamion | debconf-copydb is *relatively* straightforward, if runic | 10:11 |
| mdz | sounds like it needs for the databases to be defined in the config file | 10:12 |
| Kamion | if you run into any missing features in cdebconf, let me know | 10:12 |
| Kamion | nah, you can do that on the command line like base-config does | 10:12 |
| mdz | ah | 10:12 |
| Kamion | it's fairly important to get cdebconf up to feature-parity with debconf, because long-term it would be good to be able to replace debconf with cdebconf | 10:13 |
| mdz | I suppose I should just disable the dpkg-reconfigure for now | 10:13 |
| Kamion | at least, maybe :) | 10:13 |
| mdz | to get back to a working (console-mode) live CD | 10:13 |
| Kamion | debconf-copydb d-i configdb -c Name:d-i -c Driver:File \ | 10:13 |
| Kamion | -c Filename:$DI_DB \ | 10:13 |
| Kamion | --pattern='^(mirror/http/proxy|mirror/suite|debian-installer/keymap|debian-installer/country|debian-installer/language|debian-installer/only-os)$' | 10:13 |
| mdz | uploaded casper 0.7 with that change | 10:14 |
| mdz | (disabling) | 10:15 |
| mdz | I'll give copydb a try later | 10:15 |
| Kamion | debconf-loadtemplate /target/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.templates; chroot /target dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; debconf-copydb configdb target -c Name:target -c Driver:File -c Filename:/target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat --pattern='^xserver-xorg/.*' | 10:16 |
| Kamion | something like that ought to work | 10:16 |
| Kamion | although you might have to chroot to run debconf-copydb; I can't remember if cdebconf's version can safely write to debconf's files | 10:16 |
| Kamion | probably can | 10:16 |
| Kamion | oh, debconf-loadtemplate xserver-xorg /target/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.templates, but anyway | 10:17 |
| mdz | Kamion: we're already pivoted into /target by the time this runs | 10:18 |
| Kamion | uh, and cdebconf survived that? | 10:18 |
| === thully [~thully@wuser70-league.umnet.umich.edu] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | yeah, works great | 10:18 |
| Kamion | surprising; it won't be able to save | 10:19 |
| mdz | it doesn't get a chance :-) | 10:19 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: why shouldn't it work? | 10:19 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: no /var/lib/cdebconf | 10:19 |
| mdz | we increment the progress bar, and then it gets killed by init | 10:19 |
| Kamion | no /usr/lib/cdebconf/*/*.so, come to that | 10:19 |
| Mithrandir | so? They're already in memory by then. | 10:19 |
| mdz | I guess that makes debconf-copydb, er, awkward | 10:19 |
| === froud [~sean@ndn-165-132-43.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | mdz: yes ... | 10:19 |
| mdz | so we're back to disconnect_run | 10:20 |
| Kamion | can you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg before pivoting? | 10:20 |
| mdz | I suppose it could be done | 10:20 |
| mdz | via chroot | 10:20 |
| Kamion | disconnect_run still leaves you with the "what does the UI look like if xserver-xorg really *has* to ask a question?" problem | 10:20 |
| Kamion | and unfortunately I fear the answer is "dreadful" | 10:20 |
| mdz | is it that hard to provide a terminfo file for bterm? | 10:21 |
| === froud [~sean@ndn-165-132-43.telkomadsl.co.za] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] | ||
| Kamion | probably not, but it's still using totally different UI code and therefore looks rather different | 10:21 |
| mdz | I could write a precasper.d script to do the chroot/dpkg-reconfigure before pivoting | 10:22 |
| Kamion | it's probably better than it used to be because a UTF-8 locale will exist in the live filesystem; that wasn't the case when I last tried baseconfig-udeb (before warty) | 10:22 |
| thully | is there any plans for more array CDs? The schedule calls for about 1 every 2 weeks, yet only 2 have been made the entire development schedule. | 10:38 |
| sladen | thully: pester Kamion | 10:39 |
| Kamion | there are, but it kind of requires the archive to work :-) | 10:42 |
| Kamion | the windows of installability have been quite narrow at times | 10:42 |
| Kamion | for warty, we only started doing sounder CDs around the time of the upstream version freeze, so I'm not too worried | 10:43 |
| === lamont_r [~lamont@mesaradio41.customer.frii.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| thully | yes - just learned that - I tried installing hoary from the daily build and I had to do lots of funky things to get a working install | 10:44 |
| Kamion | I'm not sure that I have a copy of Sounder CD 1 any more, but Sounder CD 2 was 29 June | 10:44 |
| Kamion | today's daily? | 10:44 |
| thully | yes - it bombed out to a command prompt without installing anything but base, and then after I did an "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" something funky w/udev and hal happened and the instalslowed to a crawl until I killed those things | 10:46 |
| Kamion | oh, ubuntu-desktop was broken today (do you mean a command prompt, or aptitude?) | 10:47 |

| Kamion | thully: we had nobody looking after m-t for a while; at the last hoary goals meeting, Mithrandir volunteered to give it some love | 11:01 |
| mdz | I'm doing my test using cloop on i386, which is known to not be horribly broken | 11:02 |
| lamont_r | mdz: let me rebuild it with the hack job instead and see what that does for us. | 11:02 |
| Mithrandir | thully: I think we can ignore it, it shouldn't be any bigger problem with 0.9 rather than 1.0. | 11:02 |
| lamont_r | failing that, maybe compressing on i386 will be better | 11:02 |
| mdz | lamont: I doubt it will differ in the slightest | 11:02 |
| Kamion | AFAICS the only reason that's keeping 1.0 out of Debian is that the maintainer wants to deal with both problems at the same time | 11:02 |
| sivang | mdz,Kamion : all this test talk relates for the live cd and the gui installer? :) | 11:02 |
| Kamion | and I guess 1.0 is a good point at which to do so | 11:02 |
| mdz | sivang: what gui installer? | 11:02 |
| Kamion | sivang: not the GUI installer | 11:02 |
| Kamion | keep up :-) | 11:03 |

| sivang | mdz: dreams dreams, it's amazing how one can be stupid with what he claims when he has not a clue of it :-/ | 11:05 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: yeah; tackling both problems at the same time might be fine, but I think we can do that later. | 11:05 |
| Kamion | mdz: hm, would you like to have a background title on the live CD's cdebconf screens saying "Ubuntu Live CD", or something like that? | 11:05 |
| sivang | mdz: :) | 11:05 |
| mdz | Kamion: sure | 11:05 |
| mdz | Kamion: that reminds me, I should also fix its menu item | 11:05 |
| Kamion | I'd like that for rescue mode, so I think I'll try to come up with a general interface for that in cdebconf | 11:05 |
| pasc | ~.. | 11:06 |
| mdz | Kamion: currently I have Description: Run a "live" preinstalled system from read-only media | 11:06 |
| lamont_r | mdz: was amd64 the only borked cloop? | 11:06 |
| mdz | Kamion: which makes a reasonable description, but not a menu item | 11:06 |
| mdz | Kamion: how do I override it? | 11:06 |
| mdz | lamont_r: not sure | 11:07 |
| Kamion | mdz: create a debian-installer/casper-udeb/title template, type text, with the description you want as the menu item | 11:07 |
| Kamion | (it should really be main-menu/title/casper-udeb or something, but that won't be changing just yet) | 11:08 |
| mdz | Kamion: what would be a good menu item name? | 11:08 |
| Kamion | describe the action, so "Enter live filesystem" maybe? | 11:08 |

| Kamion | at the top is conventional | 11:10 |
| mdz | lamont_r: oh, you found a problem? | 11:10 |
| lamont_r | no - it's just that it's not any diff from the other machines, other than being 64 bit | 11:10 |
| Mithrandir | lamont_r, mdz: what's the problem? cloop-utils still broken on amd64? | 11:11 |
| mdz | Kamion: oh, btw, I get a ton of garbage output overwriting the cdebconf dialog when casper-udeb is unpacked | 11:11 |
| mdz | seems to have to do twith the po file that amu gave m e | 11:11 |
| mdz | me | 11:11 |
| lamont_r | Mithrandir: the fsimg looks good, but cloop is kinda missing /var | 11:12 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: it succeeds, but the result is apparently not optimal | 11:12 |
| Mithrandir | lamont_r: what do you mean, missing /var? | 11:12 |
| lamont_r | see scrollback | 11:12 |
| lamont_r | ls in / does not show /var | 11:13 |
| Mithrandir | that's fairly crackful. | 11:13 |

| Kamion | no | 11:17 |

| mdz | Kamion: what's the intended difference between base-installer.d and prebaseconfig.d? | 11:23 |
| mdz | lamont_r: tried blocksize=1k? | 11:23 |
| mdz | we could also do blocksize=4k and use 4k blocks in the ext2 fs | 11:23 |
| mdz | the latter should be much more efficient | 11:24 |
| mdz | space-wise | 11:24 |
| lamont_r | actually running one with blocksizes from 1 to 32 kb | 11:24 |
| lamont_r | ah, because most of our files are > 2KB? | 11:24 |
| Kamion | mdz: base-installer.d runs before the base system is installed, i.e. before debootstrap | 11:24 |
| Kamion | mdz: the reason netcfg runs there is that some packages installed by debootstrap expect the networking information already to be set up | 11:25 |
| mdz | ah | 11:25 |
| Kamion | so prebaseconfig.d would be too late | 11:25 |
| mdz | so for casper the distinction is irrelevant | 11:25 |
| mdz | (which is good, because I treated them exactly the same) | 11:25 |
| lamont_r | 4k is 655MB, 2k is 741 | 11:26 |
| lamont_r | 8k is 603 | 11:26 |
| mdz | Kamion: hmm | 11:26 |
| Kamion | yes | 11:26 |
| mdz | Kamion: we're going to run into some major sequence number problems if I go this route | 11:26 |
| Kamion | why? | 11:26 |
| mdz | because casper has >5 things which need to be run in order before 05archive-copier | 11:26 |
