HrdwrBoBgnome-app-install12:04
Riddellis it an ubuntu made project?12:04
HrdwrBoBI beleive so12:05
Riddell"ImportError: No module named glade" looks like it's missing a dependency there, time to dig up my bugzilla account12:07
jdubmdz: haha, yeah.12:07
jdubmdz: i think that means bignose on the cover.12:08
Riddell"gobject.GError: Icon 'gnome-settings-default-applications' not present in theme" can anyone tell me what package that icon is in?12:12
mjg59jdub: I found a nice picture of the inside of Cockfosters station12:13
jdubmjg59: NOOOOOO!12:14
jdubRiddell: gnome-icon-theme and gnome-accessibility-themes12:14
mjg59jdub: http://www.charlesholden.com/html/charlesholden_gallery_pages/Cockfosters_1.htm12:15
mjg59Dig the funky concrete roof12:15
=== jdub refuses to look.
mjg59Hahaha12:16
mjg59jdub: If I want to do LCA and the Canonical conference and congratulate you on being a married man, what dates do I need to be in Australia?12:17
HrdwrBoBLCA is at the most inconvenient time ever12:18
HrdwrBoBMarch 23; contract expires. April 18-23 LCA, April 30th my wedding12:19
jdubmjg59: wedding party is on the 17th, linux.conf.au is 18th-23rd, UbuntuDownUnder will be 25th to 30th.12:19
mjg59Rock12:19
jdubHrdwrBoB: haha :)12:19
jdubHrdwrBoB: our honeymoon is lca ;)12:19
jdub(not!)12:19
mjg59jdub: Party in Sydney?12:19
HrdwrBoBhaha :)12:20
jdubyass (outsiude of canberra)12:20
kentwhat is LCA?12:20
HrdwrBoBlinux.conf.au12:21
mjg59Heh. I guess I'll probably be flying in and out of Sydney12:21
HrdwrBoBlinux conference in canberra Monday April 18 to Saturday April 23, 2005.12:21
thomUDU is sydney, right?12:23
jdubyeah12:25
mjg59Yeah12:25
jdubmost likely12:25
mjg59It's neat that Ubuntu pretty much just works on the Mac Mini12:26
jdubmjg59: oh?12:26
mjg59jdub: According to -usres12:26
mjg59Someone should write a Wiki page on it and then SELL SELL SELL12:26
mjg59Hmm. I can get one for 300 quid with educational discount.12:27
jdubthat's fantastic news!12:28
jdub"48 hours after receiving my Mini I have decided it is not the machine for me. If you would like to purchase my Mini, it is on eBay."12:28
jdubweird12:28
thomare the hoary livecds rsyncable now?12:28
thomjdub: 48 hours seems very short12:29
HrdwrBoBI'd get a mini if it had a useful 3d card12:29
mdzmjg59: how do you go about getting the discount?12:29
mdzthom: yes, they are12:29
mjg59mdz: I sign a solemn pledge that I'm a student at a university on the Apple discount program12:29
HrdwrBoBmdz: find a friend/family member who is working for/going to an educational institution and get them to buy it12:29
mjg59But I can do that online and then order online as well12:30
jdubthom: yeah, they are12:30
mdzmjg59: oh, ok.  you don't have to promise that you're a swell guy, or anything like that?12:30
jdubmdz: dude12:30
jdubmdz: so how much policy for the rest of the image is defined in the d-i stage?12:30
jdubmdz: much more than the kernel?12:31
mdzjdub: meaning what?12:31
jdubmdz: i'm wondering about using the POWER OF CASPER for booting other system images, such as red hat.12:31
mdzjdub: I wrote it with such use cases in mind12:31
jdubobviously the kernel would be an issue, but beyond that, everything else pretty much restarts, right?12:31
mdzall the stuff that I've added falls back gracefully if things aren't the way it expects12:32
mdzthe bits that come directly from d-i probably need tweaks in that area12:32
mdze.g., locale configuration and network configuration12:32
mjg59mdz: Haha. Nope.12:32
mdzjdub: the only issue with the kernel is that the modules in the image need to be loadable by the kernel on the CD12:32
mdzand we could make that a non-issue if we really wanted to12:33
mdzjust costs some space on the CD12:33
mdzjdub: you should be able to build a live CD with isolinux menu options for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, etc. with a small amount of work12:33
jdubheh -> two kernel monte with a livecd ;)12:33
mdzs/CD/DVD/12:33
thommdz: ok, grabbing all the live cds now; will hopefully be in a position to test i386,ia64,amd64 by morning12:34
mdzthom: excellent12:34
thomit's nice having a desk again ;-)12:34
thomnow i just have to work out why grub can't see my sata disks, and i'm laughing12:35
mjg59305.50 including delivery12:36
mjg59I wonder what kind of PM setup it has. Presumbly something very iBookish.12:36
thommjg59: yeah, all macs should expose PMU to some degree12:36
mjg59I need some Mac hardware for PM testing12:38
sivangthom: what chipset? I have also SATA , wonder if they'd work - ICH5 I think I have..12:38
thomsivang: can't remember; it's onboard the motherboard i have. i suspect the disks have just come disconnected in the process of moving12:39
=== mjg59 wonders why the two routes he has to the education store give different prices
mdzhow very IBM12:39
sivangthom: it's a desktop right?12:39
thomsivang: yeah12:39
sivangthom: well, just opend up the cover and check the cables then12:40
thomsivang: oddly, i just checked windows and disk manager can see the drives12:41
mjg59Does anyone have the faintest idea what http://groups-beta.google.com/group/uk.comp.os.linux/msg/ab1c6387c8463151?dmode=source is going on about?12:42
tsengfull threaded smp support?12:43
tsenguserspace support for smp, heh12:43
tsengmjg59: I think its possible that he has a really poor understanding of NPTL/TLS12:43
HrdwrBoBjust another gentoo crazed person12:44
jduboh man12:44
jdub"Ubuntu is worth the install just for the little drum beat that greets you at the login.12:44
jdub"12:45
jdub^ murray cumming12:45
tsengi smiled at that too, jdub 12:45
tsengi was thinking about his point on su being unintuative12:45
jdub"I mean, if I do su then it shouldn't just ask me for a password when there's no possible correct answer."12:45
jdub^ good point12:45
jdubhaha, yeah12:45
tsengthat perhaps it could give some more useful info and point to an FAQ12:45
tsengon failure.12:46
mjg59Hmm. That's a claim I hadn't heard before - Miguel wanted to take up a job with MS, but ran into INS-related problems.12:46
mjg59Perhaps unsurprisingly, I can't find any independent corroboration.12:47
thomi'd heard that before12:47
mjg59Oh, no, there's an Andrew Orlowski article on The Register which says that12:47
jdubhah, orlowski.12:48
jdub10:46 < mjg59> Hmm. That's a claim I hadn't heard before - Miguel wanted to12:48
jdub               take up a job with MS, but ran into INS-related problems.12:48
jdub10:47 < mjg59> Perhaps unsurprisingly, I can't find any independent12:48
jdub               corroboration.12:48
jdubboh12:48
mjg59You suck12:48
jduboh, putty is *SO* ANNOYING12:48
HrdwrBoBnow I've heard the claim twice12:48
mjg59http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/02/05/explain_yourself_miguel_demands_rms/12:49
mjg59I  RMS12:49
jdubso /bin/su could do the same thing that sulogin does; checks whether the root password is not set12:49
mjg59What should it do in response?12:49
thomand then tells you to use sudo?12:49
thombut only if it's not being run from sudo, as in sudo su -12:50
jdubwell, then it's already root12:50
jdubsurely this is something upstream would take?12:51
jdubsu is pointless if run as a user with no root password set12:51
jdubit should return some error - could that error be external to the binary?12:52
jdubor perhaps configured at build time would make sense12:52
thomjdub: su - www-data -c foo still has to work, fe12:52
jdubthen you're not su-ing to root ;)12:53
thomno, but you just said: "su is pointless if run as a user with no root password set"12:53
jdubwell, it could check whether the target account, whatever it may be, has a password set12:53
thom:P12:53
thomyeah12:54
mjg59jdub: Telling someone that there's no root password set is information leakage12:54
jdubwe are talking about the su-to-root use case here ;)12:54
mjg59On the desktop, I don't think it matters. But I don't seem upstream taking it.12:54
jdubmmm, and it couldn't just fail, hey?12:54
jdubsame problem12:54
thomit's not something you'd want on a server, for sure12:54
jdubhmm.12:55
mjg59If it's an administrative decision not to have a root password, random users shouldn't be able to find that out12:55
mdzjdub: su: you don't even have a chance! (exit 1)12:56

robertjDoes anyone else find the Desktop Label for the System menu confusing?02:01
sivangrobertj: hmmm, should be "System" ? ;-)02:02
robertjI mean, most of that stuff isn't on my Desktop02:02
robertjand what does your desktop have to do with rebooting?02:02
sivanghehe02:03
sivangShould be syste, but I don't want to start the gnome menus fights again...02:03
sivang;-)02:03
sivangDesktop maybe should be "places"?02:04
robertjIs that a Gnome thing or an Ubuntu thing02:04
robertjI know upstream talks were going on but..02:05
jdz_sivang: There's already one called "places"02:05
robertjComputer or System is a much better name02:05
sivangjdz_: eh right, oops ;-)02:05
jdubrobertj: current layout is both ubuntu and upstream.02:05
robertjit just doesn't seem intuitive02:06
robertjwhy  was System nixed?02:06
tsengrobertj: if you think about it, to alot of people Computer = Desktop02:06
tsengno?02:06
jdz_tseng: or laptop, as is my case02:06
jdubrobertj: there's a discussion bug on gnome's bugzilla about this02:06
robertjtseng: yeah, but to a lot of people Desktop = Desktop02:06
tsengand what does Computer mean anymore than Desktop does in the context of the stuff in the menu02:06
tsengAbout Gnome?02:07
jdz_I propose we call it "Stuff"02:07
robertjThat's better than Desktop02:07
tsengi propose that the name is mildly important02:07
robertjat least Stuff makes you think "here is some various stuff"02:07
robertjvs. "Here is what is on my desktop"02:07
tsengrobertj: about gnome = version info about my "desktop"02:07
ajmitchjdz_: you might as well call applications 'stuff', and desktop 'more stuff'02:07
tsengscreenshot is a sshot of my "desktop"02:08
jdz_ajmitch: very well :)02:08
HrdwrBoBajmitch: that sounds like my naming scheme02:08
ajmitchit's generally how I'd organise things anyway :)02:08
robertjshould dragging a file to a launcher pointing to a folder move the file?02:17
HrdwrBoBmove/copy yes02:17
robertj"the Gnome Desktop" is different02:19
robertjbut by that logic Gnome would be a better name02:19

ajmitchso I doubt that it'll make feature freeze03:28
robertjjdub: is there a way to determine if a ps/2 keyboard is connected?03:33
jdubno idea03:35
robertjjdub: because back to the fsck issue, not only is it annoying to laptop/home users, its also really annoying to people running servers on macs03:35
jdubwhich fsck issue?03:36
robertjrunning before usb comes online03:36
robertjbecause if it stops and you don't have a live cd you can't tell it to continue03:36
jduboh right03:37
robertj(kinda related to my gripe about the scheduled fscking by default)03:37
robertjcould that be avoided by building in usb stuff?03:38
robertj?03:42
=== opi [~emil@195.69.82.35] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzrobertj: the usual way to manage that situation is that the BIOS will emulate a PS/2 keyboard if only a USB keyboard is available03:59
mdzunfortunately, some of them don't03:59
mdzyou can always load the USB drivers in the initrd04:00
danielsmdz: (or it's configurable, and defaults to not doing so)04:00
mdzyeah, "USB legacy blahblah" or whatever04:00
robertj_mdz: didn't knnow that04:02
opior, instead of initrd, you can put it into kernel :-)04:02
robertj_although it doesn't make much sense for a mac to emulate a legacy keyboard04:02
robertj_;)04:02
jdubbasic usb key driver in the initrd isn't a terrible idea04:05
robertj_what sort of problems might it cause?04:05
mdzopi: "sudo vi /etc/mkinitrd/modules" is much more maintainable than building your own kernels04:06
mdzjdub: all of hotplug in the initrd isn't a terrible idea04:07
opimdz: I guess, I just used to build kernel without help of Debian tools04:07
mdzat least, storage, input, network04:07
robertj_mdz: that would make my toaster angry04:07

HrdwrBoBmdz: that would be good, I didn't move a hard drive to a different controller the other day purely because I didn't want to stuff around with initrd04:08
mdzthe hotplug infrastructure is only a few hundred K uncompressed; shouldn't make the initrd much bigger at all04:09

sivangpitti: ok, cool, I was just thinking we should start maybe working towards wiping the "desktop distro" thing, I think one thing that could be done as a starters is making meta packages that pull some sever + a gui controller app for it, so admin would get a working environemtn (if not optimised yet) by one apt-get install. one of the ideas I had wrt that.10:28

Kamionpitti: is language-pack-* guaranteed to depend only on stuff in base, or is it allowed to depend on things in desktop?12:12
Kamionpitti: and what should server installations do?12:12
pittiKamion: language-pack-[update]  only depends on a recent libc612:13
pittiKamion: so, yes, only base12:13
pittiKamion: the bigger problem is language-support12:13
Kamionwould it make sense to install language-pack-* in the first stage?12:13
Kamionor should it be a second-stage thing?12:13
pittiKamion: these packages depend on packages in supported, not only in shipped12:13
Kamionthat's not a problem12:13
pittiKamion: I would favor second12:13
Kamionwell, not a soluble one12:13
Kamionnot all the language packs will fit on the CD so they can't all be shipped anyway12:14
pittiKamion: would it be possible to try to --dry-run the installation of language-support before actually doing it?12:14
Kamionno we'll just try to install them and ignore failures12:14
pittiKamion: then the installer would not install the support package if no network is present12:14
Kamionnot necessary12:14
pittiKamion: okay, same effect12:14
pittiKamion: so the support package is installed if dependencies can be fulfilled on CD (or from network), and not installed otherwise?12:15
Kamionyes12:15
pitticool12:15
pittiKamion: server installations should not install support12:15
pittiKamion: however, they should probably install language-pack12:15
Kamionif its dependencies can't be fulfilled then germinate will not allow it to be on the CD anyway12:15
Kamionok12:15
pittiKamion: btw, what do you think about moving locale generation from package "locales" to language-pack-XX?12:16
Kamionsee my mail to the list12:16
pittiKamion: then we don't need the first debconf question any more12:16
KamionI don't think it's appropriate to *move* it12:16
pittido in addition?12:16
Kamionyeah12:16
Kamionpitti: which first debconf question?12:16
pittiKamion: the locales question of which locales to support12:17
pitti(not shown usually, though)12:17
Kamionsome people were saying some very scary and wrong things in scrollback about having the keyboard selector thing imply a locale12:17
Kamionpitti: that's a useful question to have for experts, it shouldn't be removed12:17
pittiokay12:17
pittiso l-pack would just add its locales (if not already present) to /etc/locale.gen and call locale-gen12:17
Kamion(keyboard selection can't imply a locale; they're totally orthogonal things ...)12:17
Kamionyeah12:18
Kamionand depend on locales, if it doesn't already12:18
pittiit doesn't already12:18
Kamionok, will need to12:18
pittisure12:18
pitticool, so array 4 could already have a full language pack support installer?12:19
KamionI'm working on the base-config changes, they're kind of tied in with better kickstart support12:19
Kamionyeah12:19
pittineat, then I will see to add the locale generation stuff soon12:19
Kamionneed to decide which language packs to put on the CD though12:19
pitti^ probably a tb item?12:19
Kamionprobably12:19
pittiI remember sabdfl saying something about 10 to 15 supported languages12:20
pittiright now all the langpacks don't use much more space than before12:20
Kamiondisk space on CD may trump sabdfl ;)12:20
pittisince the same files now get stripped from the application debs12:20
Kamionsabdfl < laws of physics < baby jesus12:20
pittibut in the long run, and with Rosetta, translations will grow :-)12:20
pittilol12:21
Kamionhm, have you seen the languagelist file in localechooser?12:22
Kamionit has a list of fallback locales for each language12:23
pittino, I did not see it12:23
KamionI'm wondering if we should install all the language packs matching locales listed as fallbacks12:23
=== pitti downloads
Kamionthat would mean most languages would get language-pack-en which is probably a useful thing, and e.g. Norwegian would get Danish and Swedish too as fallbacks12:24
Kamionor Galician would get Spanish12:24
pittihmm, sounds as if it would make sense12:24
pittiI now have the list on my screen12:25
pittihowever, why should German folks use en_GB?12:25
mvo_seb128: is there already a open bug that nautilus-cd-burner does not allow blanking a RW?12:25
Kamion*shrug* that doesn't matter, it'll map to language-pack-en12:25
Kamionit's just a fallback, it has to be a full locale but it's not very important which it is12:25
pittiKamion: right, but en is the fallback to most/all languages12:25
Kamionyes, that's good :)12:26
seb128mvo_: correct12:26
mvo_seb128: a word from upstream when it will get fixed :) ?12:26
seb128mvo_: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16435212:26
pittiKamion: well, e. g. es as a fallback to Galician makes sense12:26
seb128mvo_: no, no reply at all12:26
Kamionthis means we can ask for some English locale while debugging12:26
seb128mvo_: but if you umount it or try again it works12:26
pittiKamion: but installing en everywhere seems a bit too much...12:26
MithrandirKamion: I'm a bit reluctant with having other nearby languages as fallbacks, actually.  Having a UI with Norwegian and English is a lot less cluttered and confusing than Norwegian Bokml, Norwegian Nynorsk, Swedish, Danish and English.12:26
Kamionhmm] 12:26
Kamionok, let's just have the native one for now then12:27
pittiKamion: in any case I would only install the main support package with no fallbacks12:27
Kamionit'll actually be Norwegian and C, not Norwegian and English ;)12:27
Kamionpitti: sure12:27
Mithrandir(this is a gripe of mine currently as well, though)12:27
pittiKamion: since with no langpack you get C (so, usually English) anyway, is there really a need for l-p-en?12:28
Kamionpitti: English != C12:28
Kamionpitti: it makes a difference for en_GB sometimes12:28
pittiright, but approx. :-)12:28
Kamionplease don't kill l-p-en12:28
pittishould be good enough for debugging output12:28
mvo_seb128: it looks like n-c-b should just ummount (or ask for it) ?12:28
pittiKamion: no, I won't kill l-p-en12:28
Kamion11:27 < Kamion> ok, let's just have the native one for now then12:29
pittiKamion: for British/American folks, it really makes sense12:29
seb128mvo_: it's supposed to do, and that was working with the previous version ...12:29

tritiumthis apparent metacity bug makes me again think we need something like apt-listbugs working with ubuntu's bugzilla03:17
Kamionapt-listbugs is pretty bogus in Debian though; lack of version tracking makes it difficult for users to see what bugs are in their version, and the upshot is that we end up with a lot of confused users thinking that stuff is fatally buggy when it really isn't03:19
Kamionfabbione: chrooting from a warty/amd64 CD works fine03:19
KamionI therefore conclude that it's a kernel bug :P03:19
