[12:03] what is the name of the new user friendly application install tool in hoary? [12:04] gnome-app-install [12:04] is it an ubuntu made project? [12:05] I beleive so [12:07] "ImportError: No module named glade" looks like it's missing a dependency there, time to dig up my bugzilla account [12:07] mdz: haha, yeah. [12:08] mdz: i think that means bignose on the cover. [12:12] "gobject.GError: Icon 'gnome-settings-default-applications' not present in theme" can anyone tell me what package that icon is in? [12:13] jdub: I found a nice picture of the inside of Cockfosters station [12:14] mjg59: NOOOOOO! [12:14] Riddell: gnome-icon-theme and gnome-accessibility-themes [12:15] jdub: http://www.charlesholden.com/html/charlesholden_gallery_pages/Cockfosters_1.htm [12:15] Dig the funky concrete roof === jdub refuses to look. [12:16] Hahaha [12:17] jdub: 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? [12:18] LCA is at the most inconvenient time ever [12:19] March 23; contract expires. April 18-23 LCA, April 30th my wedding [12:19] mjg59: wedding party is on the 17th, linux.conf.au is 18th-23rd, UbuntuDownUnder will be 25th to 30th. [12:19] Rock [12:19] HrdwrBoB: haha :) [12:19] HrdwrBoB: our honeymoon is lca ;) [12:19] (not!) [12:19] jdub: Party in Sydney? [12:20] haha :) [12:20] yass (outsiude of canberra) [12:20] what is LCA? [12:21] linux.conf.au [12:21] Heh. I guess I'll probably be flying in and out of Sydney [12:21] linux conference in canberra Monday April 18 to Saturday April 23, 2005. [12:23] UDU is sydney, right? [12:25] yeah [12:25] Yeah [12:25] most likely [12:26] It's neat that Ubuntu pretty much just works on the Mac Mini [12:26] mjg59: oh? [12:26] jdub: According to -usres [12:26] Someone should write a Wiki page on it and then SELL SELL SELL [12:27] Hmm. I can get one for 300 quid with educational discount. [12:28] that's fantastic news! [12:28] "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] weird [12:28] are the hoary livecds rsyncable now? [12:29] jdub: 48 hours seems very short [12:29] I'd get a mini if it had a useful 3d card [12:29] mjg59: how do you go about getting the discount? [12:29] thom: yes, they are [12:29] mdz: I sign a solemn pledge that I'm a student at a university on the Apple discount program [12:29] mdz: find a friend/family member who is working for/going to an educational institution and get them to buy it [12:30] But I can do that online and then order online as well [12:30] thom: yeah, they are [12:30] mjg59: oh, ok. you don't have to promise that you're a swell guy, or anything like that? [12:30] mdz: dude [12:30] mdz: so how much policy for the rest of the image is defined in the d-i stage? [12:31] mdz: much more than the kernel? [12:31] jdub: meaning what? [12:31] mdz: i'm wondering about using the POWER OF CASPER for booting other system images, such as red hat. [12:31] jdub: I wrote it with such use cases in mind [12:31] obviously the kernel would be an issue, but beyond that, everything else pretty much restarts, right? [12:32] all the stuff that I've added falls back gracefully if things aren't the way it expects [12:32] the bits that come directly from d-i probably need tweaks in that area [12:32] e.g., locale configuration and network configuration [12:32] mdz: Haha. Nope. [12:32] jdub: the only issue with the kernel is that the modules in the image need to be loadable by the kernel on the CD [12:33] and we could make that a non-issue if we really wanted to [12:33] just costs some space on the CD [12:33] jdub: you should be able to build a live CD with isolinux menu options for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, etc. with a small amount of work [12:33] heh -> two kernel monte with a livecd ;) [12:33] s/CD/DVD/ [12:34] mdz: ok, grabbing all the live cds now; will hopefully be in a position to test i386,ia64,amd64 by morning [12:34] thom: excellent [12:34] it's nice having a desk again ;-) [12:35] now i just have to work out why grub can't see my sata disks, and i'm laughing [12:36] 305.50 including delivery [12:36] I wonder what kind of PM setup it has. Presumbly something very iBookish. [12:36] mjg59: yeah, all macs should expose PMU to some degree [12:38] I need some Mac hardware for PM testing [12:38] thom: what chipset? I have also SATA , wonder if they'd work - ICH5 I think I have.. [12:39] sivang: can't remember; it's onboard the motherboard i have. i suspect the disks have just come disconnected in the process of moving === mjg59 wonders why the two routes he has to the education store give different prices [12:39] how very IBM [12:39] thom: it's a desktop right? [12:39] sivang: yeah [12:40] thom: well, just opend up the cover and check the cables then [12:41] sivang: oddly, i just checked windows and disk manager can see the drives [12:42] Does anyone have the faintest idea what http://groups-beta.google.com/group/uk.comp.os.linux/msg/ab1c6387c8463151?dmode=source is going on about? [12:43] full threaded smp support? [12:43] userspace support for smp, heh [12:43] mjg59: I think its possible that he has a really poor understanding of NPTL/TLS [12:44] just another gentoo crazed person [12:44] oh man [12:44] "Ubuntu is worth the install just for the little drum beat that greets you at the login. [12:45] " [12:45] ^ murray cumming [12:45] i smiled at that too, jdub [12:45] i was thinking about his point on su being unintuative [12:45] "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] ^ good point [12:45] haha, yeah [12:45] that perhaps it could give some more useful info and point to an FAQ [12:46] on failure. [12:46] Hmm. That's a claim I hadn't heard before - Miguel wanted to take up a job with MS, but ran into INS-related problems. [12:47] Perhaps unsurprisingly, I can't find any independent corroboration. [12:47] i'd heard that before [12:47] Oh, no, there's an Andrew Orlowski article on The Register which says that [12:48] hah, orlowski. [12:48] 10:46 < mjg59> Hmm. That's a claim I hadn't heard before - Miguel wanted to [12:48] take up a job with MS, but ran into INS-related problems. [12:48] 10:47 < mjg59> Perhaps unsurprisingly, I can't find any independent [12:48] corroboration. [12:48] boh [12:48] You suck [12:48] oh, putty is *SO* ANNOYING [12:48] now I've heard the claim twice [12:49] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/02/05/explain_yourself_miguel_demands_rms/ [12:49] I RMS [12:49] so /bin/su could do the same thing that sulogin does; checks whether the root password is not set [12:49] What should it do in response? [12:49] and then tells you to use sudo? [12:50] but only if it's not being run from sudo, as in sudo su - [12:50] well, then it's already root [12:51] surely this is something upstream would take? [12:51] su is pointless if run as a user with no root password set [12:52] it should return some error - could that error be external to the binary? [12:52] or perhaps configured at build time would make sense [12:52] jdub: su - www-data -c foo still has to work, fe [12:53] then you're not su-ing to root ;) [12:53] no, but you just said: "su is pointless if run as a user with no root password set" [12:53] well, it could check whether the target account, whatever it may be, has a password set [12:53] :P [12:54] yeah [12:54] jdub: Telling someone that there's no root password set is information leakage [12:54] we are talking about the su-to-root use case here ;) [12:54] On the desktop, I don't think it matters. But I don't seem upstream taking it. [12:54] mmm, and it couldn't just fail, hey? [12:54] same problem [12:54] it's not something you'd want on a server, for sure [12:55] hmm. [12:55] If it's an administrative decision not to have a root password, random users shouldn't be able to find that out [12:56] jdub: su: you don't even have a chance!

[02:01] Does anyone else find the Desktop Label for the System menu confusing? [02:02] robertj: hmmm, should be "System" ? ;-) [02:02] I mean, most of that stuff isn't on my Desktop [02:02] and what does your desktop have to do with rebooting? [02:03] hehe [02:03] Should be syste, but I don't want to start the gnome menus fights again... [02:03] ;-) [02:04] Desktop maybe should be "places"? [02:04] Is that a Gnome thing or an Ubuntu thing [02:05] I know upstream talks were going on but.. [02:05] sivang: There's already one called "places" [02:05] Computer or System is a much better name [02:05] jdz_: eh right, oops ;-) [02:05] robertj: current layout is both ubuntu and upstream. [02:06] it just doesn't seem intuitive [02:06] why was System nixed? [02:06] robertj: if you think about it, to alot of people Computer = Desktop [02:06] no? [02:06] tseng: or laptop, as is my case [02:06] robertj: there's a discussion bug on gnome's bugzilla about this [02:06] tseng: yeah, but to a lot of people Desktop = Desktop [02:06] and what does Computer mean anymore than Desktop does in the context of the stuff in the menu [02:07] About Gnome? [02:07] I propose we call it "Stuff" [02:07] That's better than Desktop [02:07] i propose that the name is mildly important [02:07] at least Stuff makes you think "here is some various stuff" [02:07] vs. "Here is what is on my desktop" [02:07] robertj: about gnome = version info about my "desktop" [02:07] jdz_: you might as well call applications 'stuff', and desktop 'more stuff' [02:08] screenshot is a sshot of my "desktop" [02:08] ajmitch: very well :) [02:08] ajmitch: that sounds like my naming scheme [02:08] it's generally how I'd organise things anyway :) [02:17] should dragging a file to a launcher pointing to a folder move the file? [02:17] move/copy yes [02:19] "the Gnome Desktop" is different [02:19] but by that logic Gnome would be a better name === sm [~simon@lsanca1-ar5-4-60-059-218.lsanca1.dsl-verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:32] looks like I need more packages from sid again..

[03:18] (trying to use standby, must use nv driver) [03:19] hrm [03:19] so /dev/hdc isn't created before hdparm is run at rcS.d/S07 [03:19] jdub hmm? [03:19] udev should be running at S04, right? [03:19] it does indeed [03:20] but probably takes its sweet time [03:21] hrm [03:21] who can i assign an hdparm issue to... === jdub chooses thom. [03:21] sivang: er, you just need HorizSync and VertRefresh lines for nv [03:22] does udev run in the background while creating the device nodes? === srbaker [~srbaker@blk-222-184-192.eastlink.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:22] or does everything still block on it? [03:26] init.d/udev runs udevstart [03:26] so nothing really blocks on it [03:26] (it was hotplug that was the big blocker) [03:26] yeah, udevstart being a symlink [03:26] I've been having some problems with it in the last couple of days when an selinux policy has been loaded by init [03:26] trying to get it sorted :) [03:28] so I doubt that it'll make feature freeze [03:33] jdub: is there a way to determine if a ps/2 keyboard is connected? [03:35] no idea [03:35] jdub: because back to the fsck issue, not only is it annoying to laptop/home users, its also really annoying to people running servers on macs [03:36] which fsck issue? [03:36] running before usb comes online [03:36] because if it stops and you don't have a live cd you can't tell it to continue [03:37] oh right [03:37] (kinda related to my gripe about the scheduled fscking by default) [03:38] could that be avoided by building in usb stuff? [03:42] ? === opi [~emil@195.69.82.35] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:59] robertj: the usual way to manage that situation is that the BIOS will emulate a PS/2 keyboard if only a USB keyboard is available [03:59] unfortunately, some of them don't [04:00] you can always load the USB drivers in the initrd [04:00] mdz: (or it's configurable, and defaults to not doing so) [04:00] yeah, "USB legacy blahblah" or whatever [04:02] mdz: didn't knnow that [04:02] or, instead of initrd, you can put it into kernel :-) [04:02] although it doesn't make much sense for a mac to emulate a legacy keyboard [04:02] ;) [04:05] basic usb key driver in the initrd isn't a terrible idea [04:05] what sort of problems might it cause? [04:06] opi: "sudo vi /etc/mkinitrd/modules" is much more maintainable than building your own kernels [04:07] jdub: all of hotplug in the initrd isn't a terrible idea [04:07] mdz: I guess, I just used to build kernel without help of Debian tools [04:07] at least, storage, input, network [04:07] mdz: that would make my toaster angry [04:07] mdz: waiting for initramfs :) [04:08] jdub: don't hold your breath [04:08] robertj: how so? [04:08] heh [04:08] ram limits ;) [04:08] ahh, 4:08 Am [04:08] I should start packing to work ;) [04:08] mdz: 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 initrd [04:09] the hotplug infrastructure is only a few hundred K uncompressed; shouldn't make the initrd much bigger at all [04:09] opi: hehe, same here [04:09] ogra: I'll be first in the office (yet again;-) [04:10] opi: i'm working hadrly on getting fired ;) i'll not be there before 12 :) [04:10] ogra: and they say the labor maket is tigth. ;p [04:10] mdz: but what modules do you load in?

[04:54] Actually, donations to your paypal account are reasonable, especially since you send out free CDs [04:54] we just like helldesks [04:55] free CDs are here thanks to Canonical [04:55] Thanks Canonical! [04:55] ;p [04:55] indeed [04:57] I hope the Horay CD will be even better designed [04:57] or, maybe not, because of that everyone take my Ubuntu CDs away ;) [04:57] is free shipping going to continue [04:57] I going to pass the Hoary PPC Live CD around Purdue's ECE department.

[04:59] you can get'em free and donate, no? :) [04:59] Same here. Actually, what'd be totaly awsome, would be DVDs. Throw all the supported packages on there.

[06:43] it should be [06:44] if you don't try you will never know [06:44] with netboot.iso, tftpbooting? [06:44] sparc.u.c [06:44] ok [06:44] ta [06:44] yeah that should work [06:45] no iso yet? [06:45] dists/hoary/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/boot.img [06:45] jdub: ^^ [06:45] fabbione: what do you test on? [06:45] elite [06:45] jdub: netra t1 [06:46] mdz: no, and no ubuntu-meta either... [06:46] mdz: that's why i asked you to add sparc to germinate/seeds & co. :-) [06:46] fabbione: I don't remember that [06:47] germinate is Kamion's baby, and it should be trivial to include sparc [06:47] mdz: it was on friday i think, but i also said that there was no rush [06:47] which packages need to be seeded? [06:47] silo? [06:47] mdz: he was mumbling something about using sparc.u.c since germinate has no concept of multiple archives [06:47] ah, right [06:47] same problem with ubuntu-meta [06:48] silo, silo-installer, sparc-utils should do... [06:48] i can help test sparc this week, we have an assortment of them at work. [06:49] whiprush: that would be cool, but keep in mind i did test only 2 installation [06:49] and it is not a supported arch yet === whiprush nods [06:49] so if it fails you are kinda on your own ;) [06:49] heh, it's ok, they're doing nothing but sitting around anyway. [06:49] and patches to fix problems are more welcome than bugs :-))) [06:51] fabbione: burned. [06:51] uh? [06:51] that's tftp boot dude [06:52] or did you burn the mini.iso? [06:52] hahaha [06:52] no, i mean, machine is burned. [06:52] toasted. [06:52] */sparc64/NETBOOT/boot/* [06:52] ah [06:54] serious namespace issues with mr. cdrom === fabbione isn't completely sure what jdub is mumbling about.. it must be some aussies dialect [06:55] mumble mumble coopers mumble mumble kangaroos [06:55] mumble telstra mumble assgobblers mumble [06:56] mdz: would you bless a message to announce for the sparc port? [06:56] or should we wait for ubuntu-meta to be in place? [06:57] fabbione: ubuntu-meta doesn't seem like a prerequisite, no === opi [~emil@ar2.tpnets.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:58] isn't that required to install ubuntu-desktop? [06:59] ubuntu-base & co... [06:59] only if you try to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or whatever [07:00] d-i uses the Task: header instead [07:00] ok [07:00] mdz: i am going to send a mail to you for itaglish proof reading :) [07:01] you should have an Itaglish project in Rosetta [07:01] and then I could translate [07:01] eehhe [07:01] mdz: what's that, it_EN? [07:02] it_FABIO [07:02] ahah [07:05] with my Engrish, I deserve to have my own Rosetta place [07:05] pl_OPI or something ;) [07:06] fabbione: kernel panic, couldn't find libc :) [07:06] fabbione: on mini.iso [07:06] 'attempt to access beyond end of device' [07:07] jdub: that's a mini.iso boot parameter that might be wrong [07:07] you can try to increase the ram size for the initrd [07:08] from silo? [07:08] it's a kernel parameter [07:08] wait a sec... [07:09] append vga=normal initrd=debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=12358 root=/dev/rd/0 rw -- [07:09] this is what is added to i386 pxeboot [07:10] so you need to twick the ramdisk_size [07:10] tops, that worked [07:11] now at language screen [07:14] http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/24/0515248&tid=90&tid=163&tid=106 [07:14] daniels: hey. install your sparc kid! [07:14] fabbione: ok, after the language/location/keymap questions, it loops clearing the screen [07:15] fabbione: debian-installer/framebuffer in the ps output [07:15] fabbione: give me an archive to mirror off :) [07:15] daniels: sparc.u.c :-) [07:15] fabbione: which is stopping and starting [07:15] jdub: hmm that's clearly a d-i bug [07:16] fabbione: rsyncable? [07:16] jdub: you can switch to vty2 and change the script on the fly to avoid restarting [07:16] daniels: yeps [07:16] actually, it's debian-installer itself that keeps restarting [07:16] i probably didn't see this problem because i am on console only mode [07:18] we will have to ask Kamion about it. [07:18] i am not sure how much he changed in the fb section recently [07:31] jdub: can you try to use the older installer? [07:31] there are 2 versions hanging on sparc.u.v [07:31] hem .c [07:33] 20041227ubuntu5? [07:33] yup [07:33] on its way [07:34] i have older ones in the morgue but it will be easier to ask Kamion when he is back [07:36] fabbione: kernel options checked out [07:36] ajmitch: good [07:41] mdz: you got mail :-) [07:41] mdz: if you can proof read it and change what you think should be changes, it would be great [07:41] fabbione: I always od [07:41] do [07:41] mdz: you don't always get mails from me :-) [07:42] I got mail from Lisa Clayton about online IT courses [07:44] wow.. that'd be cool [07:44] i never get mails from Lisa :-) [07:45] mdz: who's Lisa? ;-) [07:45] she mails me all the time [07:45] bah people must stop filing bugs with url to the forums [07:45] mdz: lucky you [07:45] sometimes about viagra, sometimes about IT education, sometimes about discounted copies of MS Windows [07:45] i would take the latter :P [07:45] mdz: hehehe i get mine from caroline bedford... [07:45] intersting.. [07:45] ;-) [07:46] I even get urge requests to allow some .za millonare to put all his money in my account until he can take it back..when he comes back there..It amazing how much variation of this email are out there. [07:47] i gave my bank details to a .za millionaire [07:47] my balance even went up a bit after that [07:47] daniels: heheh [07:48] daniels: sure, if it was him, I'd give him my bank account before he could say "Eureeka" ;-) [07:52] mdz: the message hasn't come to me, but we actually have a driver for that specific wireless kill switch in hoary -- fsam7400 [07:53] message? [07:53] mdz: the mailing list message about wireless kill switches [07:56] daniels: does hotplug load your bluetooth modules? [07:58] i think so, yeah === mpt [~mpt@210-246-37-221.paradise.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:05] daniels: you have bluetooth devices? === bob2 renames his laptop "unlovedbyubuntu" [08:05] mdz: my phone has bluetooth love [08:05] Mark made a request for better bluetooth integration in Hoary [08:05] what are we missing? [08:05] i don't know as to things other than phones; all i use is gnome-bluetooth and gnome-phone-manager [08:06] basically for sending the photos i take with my camera phone to my computer [08:06] i never did get syncing to work; that would be absolutely killer in general [08:07] bob2: Ubuntu loves all [08:08] even those who didn't buy IBM laptops [08:08] mdz: i've got some build fixes to do [08:08] mdz: then some input testing [08:08] daniels: there are laptops which aren't made by IBM? === mdz makes a cross with his fingers [08:09] jdub: how far along is the polypaudio transition, and what can I do to assist? [08:09] gnome-bluetooth doesn't seem to be installable atm [08:09] mdz: apparently there's an 'x300' or some shit. sounds like a cheap ripoff of the x40. [08:10] crimsun: we should do it straight away [08:10] i think [08:10] I hear some fruit company is making laptops now too [08:10] jdub: fix gnome-bluetooth [08:10] bob2: see above [08:11] jdub: oh [08:11] jdub: well then :) [08:11] bob2: I hear those laptops break a lot [08:12] chrisa: only when used to beat jealous non-believers [08:12] bob2: The one in my backpack was never used for such beatings [08:22] ajmitch: so is there any other CONFIG option i need to change or TMPFS_XATTR is the last one? [08:44] mdz: 5749, any idea? [08:45] could it be related to the new alsa changes? [08:53] fabbione: I doubt it [08:58] fabbione: 5749 needs to attach lsmod output for 2.6.10-1 and 2.6.10-2 [08:58] fabbione: reads like an irq issue or the secondary codec [08:59] crimsun: can you just ask for it? [08:59] i am in the middle of a build orgy :-) [09:00] fabbione: I'll do that. [09:01] Hello. Is there a collective e-mail for the sysadmin team? [09:02] I mean, sysadmins for the Canonical server farm [09:03] 'james.troup@canonical.com' [09:04] Ok.

[10:06] seb128: ping [10:07] jdub: pong [10:07] yo! [10:07] morning [10:07] does your nautilus-sendto work with gaim? [10:07] hey hey :) [10:07] afaik yep [10:07] seb128: how's that keyboard bug going? :) [10:07] hmm [10:07] i only get evo in the little menu [10:07] daniels: right? [10:07] at least here it works if I active the plugin in gaim [10:07] oh! [10:08] aha :) [10:08] apparently you have not :p [10:08] Keybuk: see my unimpressed face [10:08] evince 0.1.1 uploaded :) [10:08] seems a bit bong that you have to turn on a gaim plugin :| [10:09] agreed [10:09] Keybuk: the common code has some power management symbols, which are used for back-and-forth references with os-specific code [10:09] FIE ON GAIM [10:09] jdub: perhaps there is a way to turn the default for the plugin ? [10:09] (i almost typed gamin) [10:09] seb128: probably in gaim pref defaults -> ick [10:09] Keybuk: once I solved the fact that those got cleaned up automatically (having a libcommon_a_WHOLESOURCES for --whole-archive would be nice), I ran into the awful static interdependency thing [10:09] ooh [10:10] Keybuk: so I made a shared archive, but libtool won't make shared archives for noinst [10:10] seb128,pitti,others : morning [10:10] sendto is great [10:10] :) [10:10] Hi sivang! [10:10] jdub: a pox on gaim, eh [10:10] a pox on gamin too, while we're at it [10:10] pitti: How are you ? [10:10] why not be thorough [10:10] daniels: yeah, Libtool does; noinst_LTLIBRARIES gives you a "convenience library" [10:10] sivang: fine, thanks! I made good progress with postgresql 8 yesterday :-) [10:11] pitti: ah cool, you may want maybe to add something about it to wiki/ServerTeam ? [10:11] Keybuk: in the end I disabled power management in order to think about it later, so the OS-specific code didn't call back into common in that regard, but ugh [10:12] Keybuk: just seems a bit wack that how your library's built depends on the install process [10:12] elmo: ping [10:12] sivang: hmm, what shall I add there? [10:14] seb128: haha, you can't get files, can you? [10:14] FIE ON GOSSIP [10:15] seb128: hrmph. [10:15] seb128: evince... hrmph. [10:15] jdub: you sent a file ? [10:15] seb128: yeah ;) [10:15] jdub: I thought than file transferts were only working for msn accounts [10:15] gaim seems to think it can send [10:16] can you send from gaim ? [10:16] or only with nautilus-sendto ? [10:16] both [10:16] hum [10:18] pitti: maybe something on support it has under ubunut, actually it may be only some info mainly for "marketing" the fact ubuntu is very suitable at being for example, or a suggestion how a pakcage can be made to make ubuntu with single apt-get a prefect out-of-the-box sql server? ;-) [10:19] sivang: hmm, currently I do postgresql in my spare time, and usually maintain it through Debian [10:20] pitti: ah right.. [10:20] sivang: I did not yet talk with sabdfl/mdz about a particular Ubuntu PostgreSQL support [10:28] pitti: 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.

[10:43] uh? no [10:43] i remember i wrote that [10:43] actually ${#RESOLUTIONS} [10:44] ugly but effective [10:44] at least if $RESOUTIONS is an array [10:44] no it's not.. [10:44] it's a list in a string i get from xresprobe [10:44] yeah, it can't be an array. posix sh sucks. [10:45] and ${#RES} would be the string length. === Mithrandir stops blubbering and goes to get a switch fixed.

[12:13] Kamion: language-pack-[update] only depends on a recent libc6 [12:13] Kamion: so, yes, only base [12:13] Kamion: the bigger problem is language-support [12:13] would it make sense to install language-pack-* in the first stage? [12:13] or should it be a second-stage thing? [12:13] Kamion: these packages depend on packages in supported, not only in shipped [12:13] that's not a problem [12:13] Kamion: I would favor second [12:13] well, not a soluble one [12:14] not all the language packs will fit on the CD so they can't all be shipped anyway [12:14] Kamion: would it be possible to try to --dry-run the installation of language-support before actually doing it? [12:14] no we'll just try to install them and ignore failures [12:14] Kamion: then the installer would not install the support package if no network is present [12:14] not necessary [12:14] Kamion: okay, same effect [12:15] Kamion: so the support package is installed if dependencies can be fulfilled on CD (or from network), and not installed otherwise? [12:15] yes [12:15] cool [12:15] Kamion: server installations should not install support [12:15] Kamion: however, they should probably install language-pack [12:15] if its dependencies can't be fulfilled then germinate will not allow it to be on the CD anyway [12:15] ok [12:16] Kamion: btw, what do you think about moving locale generation from package "locales" to language-pack-XX? [12:16] see my mail to the list [12:16] Kamion: then we don't need the first debconf question any more [12:16] I don't think it's appropriate to *move* it [12:16] do in addition? [12:16] yeah [12:16] pitti: which first debconf question? [12:17] Kamion: the locales question of which locales to support [12:17] (not shown usually, though) [12:17] some people were saying some very scary and wrong things in scrollback about having the keyboard selector thing imply a locale [12:17] pitti: that's a useful question to have for experts, it shouldn't be removed [12:17] okay [12:17] so l-pack would just add its locales (if not already present) to /etc/locale.gen and call locale-gen [12:17] (keyboard selection can't imply a locale; they're totally orthogonal things ...) [12:18] yeah [12:18] and depend on locales, if it doesn't already [12:18] it doesn't already [12:18] ok, will need to [12:18] sure [12:19] cool, so array 4 could already have a full language pack support installer? [12:19] I'm working on the base-config changes, they're kind of tied in with better kickstart support [12:19] yeah [12:19] neat, then I will see to add the locale generation stuff soon [12:19] need to decide which language packs to put on the CD though [12:19] ^ probably a tb item? [12:19] probably [12:20] I remember sabdfl saying something about 10 to 15 supported languages [12:20] right now all the langpacks don't use much more space than before [12:20] disk space on CD may trump sabdfl ;) [12:20] since the same files now get stripped from the application debs [12:20] sabdfl < laws of physics < baby jesus [12:20] but in the long run, and with Rosetta, translations will grow :-) [12:21] lol [12:22] hm, have you seen the languagelist file in localechooser? [12:23] it has a list of fallback locales for each language [12:23] no, I did not see it [12:23] I'm wondering if we should install all the language packs matching locales listed as fallbacks === pitti downloads [12:24] that 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 fallbacks [12:24] or Galician would get Spanish [12:24] hmm, sounds as if it would make sense [12:25] I now have the list on my screen [12:25] however, why should German folks use en_GB? [12:25] seb128: is there already a open bug that nautilus-cd-burner does not allow blanking a RW? [12:25] *shrug* that doesn't matter, it'll map to language-pack-en [12:25] it's just a fallback, it has to be a full locale but it's not very important which it is [12:25] Kamion: right, but en is the fallback to most/all languages [12:26] yes, that's good :) [12:26] mvo_: correct [12:26] seb128: a word from upstream when it will get fixed :) ? [12:26] mvo_: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164352 [12:26] Kamion: well, e. g. es as a fallback to Galician makes sense [12:26] mvo_: no, no reply at all [12:26] this means we can ask for some English locale while debugging [12:26] mvo_: but if you umount it or try again it works [12:26] Kamion: but installing en everywhere seems a bit too much... [12:26] Kamion: 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] hmm] [12:27] ok, let's just have the native one for now then [12:27] Kamion: in any case I would only install the main support package with no fallbacks [12:27] it'll actually be Norwegian and C, not Norwegian and English ;) [12:27] pitti: sure [12:27] (this is a gripe of mine currently as well, though) [12:28] Kamion: since with no langpack you get C (so, usually English) anyway, is there really a need for l-p-en? [12:28] pitti: English != C [12:28] pitti: it makes a difference for en_GB sometimes [12:28] right, but approx. :-) [12:28] please don't kill l-p-en [12:28] should be good enough for debugging output [12:28] seb128: it looks like n-c-b should just ummount (or ask for it) ? [12:28] Kamion: no, I won't kill l-p-en [12:29] 11:27 < Kamion> ok, let's just have the native one for now then [12:29] Kamion: for British/American folks, it really makes sense [12:29] mvo_: it's supposed to do, and that was working with the previous version ...

[02:02] fabbione: not sure. where do they hide their changelogs?

[02:04] this is an annoucement of a binary packaging of bluez for the zaurus [02:04] yes i can see it [02:04] but, it mentions support for the BT2000C CF card [02:04] Ambicom BT2000C Support. Thanks to tetron for spotting this had been included in the latest drivers [02:04] so, i'm trying to find out what version of bluez includes that support [02:04] and then request that that version is in hoary [02:04] 22.01.2005 [02:04] Bluetooth kernel patch 2.6.10-mh2 available -< [02:04] the one before is older than the post... [02:04] thom: i know, it's on my TODO [02:05] so there is not that much difference [02:05] i am checking the patch [02:06] dude, if you can get this going, i owe you several beers in canberra === thom boggles at metacity [02:06] thom: new version broken ? [02:06] SteveA: i am checking how intrusive is the patch [02:06] SteveA: remember we are going to commit to support it for 18 months :-) [02:07] the whole issue stinks, actually. [02:07] seb128: seems pretty unhappy [02:07] ambicom had their BT2000 card, with ericson chipset [02:07] well supported by the kernel [02:08] then, they released another BT2000 card, essentially the same model number [02:08] sold interchangably by amazon, retail stores etc. [02:08] but with different chipet, not supported. and stopped selling the old card [02:08] thom: like ? [02:08] so, many people looked into the ambicom BT2000, saw that bluez supported it, and received a *different* kind of BT2000 [02:08] seb128: when i change workspace, i see every window i have open for a second [02:09] fabbione: done [02:09] thom: we call that a crash :p === hornbeck [~hornbeck@adsl-69-155-172-150.dsl.okcyok.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:09] SteveA: it'll be interesting when they can't pull off such stunts, since they will then be misleading the customer. [02:09] thom: could you attach it in gdb and give a bt on #5823 ? [02:09] elmo: rocking! [02:10] seb128: sure [02:11] SteveA: i don't see anything in that patch that is related to that interface [02:11] seb128: it's segfaulting every time i change workspace, yeah [02:11] i guess i will have to give a bk check.. [02:12] fabbione: iirc, the card was already providing some kind of serial interface via bluez. it needed hooking up in some way or other. at least, that was one option to get it working. [02:12] fabbione: Good thing you don't work for a company producing an RCS, isn't it? [02:13] SteveA: hmm ok.. what if i cook up a kernel for you and test it for me? [02:13] mjg59: Good thing i am not part of THAT team :P [02:13] SteveA: what kernel do you need? k7 ? 686? ppc?

[03:07] i just got my "all bugs but firefox" query sorted, so i don't care ;-) [03:07] Kamion: if grub doesn't work.. it's a firefox problem.. [03:07] it makes no sense to me, grub hasn't changed [03:08] Kamion: when you try to run grub, does anything show up in dmesg? [03:08] like I/O error related to the hardware... [03:08] Jan 24 14:00:24 localhost kernel: grub[21053] : segfault at 00000000555bcb30 rip [03:08] 00000000555bcb30 rsp 00000000555bc9fc error 15 [03:09] nothing else that I can see [03:09] Kamion: is it writing the boot record on a plain disk or is it like a raid of somekind? [03:10] Kamion: that's just a normal segfault, which the amd64 kernel logs per default [03:10] ordinary partition, no funkiness at all [03:10] like I say it's worked before [03:10] a lot [03:10] weird. [03:10] i know lilo crashes if i try to write a mbr and one of the disks in the raid is not spinning... [03:10] I can test on a couple of boxes more. [03:10] it's one of my primary test systems, I've been using it since before warty with complete success [03:10] M-t [03:11] Kamion: what about trying to use an old kernel and see immediatly that i am at fault for some obscure reasons? :P [03:11] Kamion: what kind of hw do you have in the box? [03:11] fabbione: I would if I could actually boot anything else [03:11] Kamion: a warty install? [03:12] well I don't have a functional grub :P [03:12] Kamion: but you can still boot from CD [03:12] can't you? [03:12] I'll fish out a warty/amd64 CD in a minute [03:12] or pxe [03:12] Mithrandir: via [03:12] i need to go and renew the vaccination from Brazil [03:12] later guys [03:12] Kamion: same as I have -- EpoX 8HDA3+ is the mobo.

[03:56] jdub: that "fixes" it for me [03:56] Mithrandir: yes [03:57] jdub: ("separate group for each window") [03:57] Kamion: weird; try with a non-di and k8? [03:58] Mithrandir: I'm going to iterate; will take a while [03:58] Mithrandir: what package version is yours? [03:59] linux-image-2.6.10-2-amd64-k8 2.6.10-10 [03:59] Treenaks: you're fucking shitting me [03:59] Mithrandir: hmm [03:59] that is the most ludicrously ridiculous thing. ever. [04:00] daniels: well, it does something to remembering per-window state.. [04:00] Treenaks: not here. [04:00] that is absolute crack [04:00] Treenaks: but I'm using openbox. [04:00] daniels: must be some other part of my settings then === enrico_ [~enrico@enrico.developer.debian] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:01] daniels: but if I turn that flag on (per-window groups), all "lock" states are remembered per-window.. [04:01] not just the group [04:01] Treenaks: I can reproduce it regardless of per-window groups. [04:01] EZ GTK BOOG [04:01] Mithrandir: then it's somthing else [04:01] Mithrandir: turning per-window groups off fixes it for me also [04:01] that's insane [04:02] Mithrandir: maybe gnome-keyboard-applet or whatever fails to set it when not in gnome? [04:02] daniels: I'm using gnome, but I'm not using metacity. [04:02] hm [04:02] and it certainly manages to set such stuff as keyboard repeat rate.

[04:04] Kamion: s/locale/locales/ [04:06] yeah [04:07] pitti: base-config should install language packs now [04:07] cool [04:07] Kamion: yay! [04:12] Mithrandir: you're a chunderbird user, right? [04:13] yes [04:13] can you reproduce #4249?

[04:20] Kamion: but it's not in -k8? [04:20] Mithrandir: haven't tried yet [04:20] about to [04:20] ook [04:20] seb128: wassup [04:21] daniels: kind of bug flooded a lot, do you have time to figure what wrong with the xkb stuff ? [04:22] seb128: did you upload a new gnome-keyboard-manager or whatever lately? [04:22] daniels: gnome-applets and control-center handle the xkb stuff and both have had a lot of changes recently [04:22] I've got a list of directories and I'm looking for a way to match up the device icon with the directory, what's the best way to go about doing that with python? [04:22] Treenaks, possible metacity bug workaround (keyboard > layouts > uncheck "Seperate group for each window") didn't stop occurances here... (told I should say something) [04:22] seb128: bbbbbbbllllllllleeeeeeeeggggggghhhhhhhh [04:23] seb128: sort of, but especially wednesday's a holiday, won't get to it until thursday/friday myself [04:24] daniels: svu upstream is quite responsive and know that code, if you have a good description of the problem that's probably enough [04:24] daniels: ie: a way to reproduce and an idea of what's wrong ... so I can ping him with it [04:24] seb128: svu is responsive because he's paid by the russian mafia. that's not the kind of responsive we want to get involved with. :) [04:24] jdub: ahahah :) [04:25] (bah daniels probably doesn't fear the mafia :p) [04:25] that's because he's a rentboy === jinty [~jinty@78.Red-213-96-3.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:26] seb128: yeah, I'll have a chat to svu if you like [04:26] jdub: i am not thom [04:28] is there a channel that would be a good choice for hal/python questiosn?

[04:39] mjg59: unfortunately the only Mobility documentation I have around is M6; all my other spec sheets are for desktop chipsets [04:39] no0tic: nothing I can real do about it, I've pinged upstreams with a full bt (thanks thom), downgrade if needed of wait for a fix (that's a devel branch that happens...) [04:40] seb128: anything in particular? [04:40] daniels: Worst case, I just rip all the suspend code out of radeonfb [04:40] daniels: IIRC he described all the xkb changes in his blog [04:40] seb128: can you give me some hints on how to downgrade? === LBM [~lbm@messecenteraars.dk] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:41] no0tic: get a old deb (perhaps in /var/cache/apt/archives/) and dpkg -i [04:41] seb128: I've only the new deb in there [04:41] seb128: :( [04:41] ok, so find somebody with the previous deb [04:42] seb128: I'm feeling lucky ;) [04:42] no0tic: I'm sorry but I don't have any obvious fix atm, don't use hoary if you don't want to face some issues ... [04:43] seb128: I like these issues :) [04:44] no0tic, if the previous version was 2.9.3-0, I can get you the old .debs [04:44] it was, I just checked the changelogs [04:44] tritium: thanks! [04:45] hold on, I'll put them on a website for you [04:45] they're out of the pool already, I guess? [04:45] tritium: you're fantastic!

[04:51] (working fine with rest of 2.9.5) [04:51] no0tic, did you find it? === trey3 notes #ubuntu-devel isn't tech support :/ [04:53] tritium: no [04:55] amu: no worries, if all the konversation CVEs were handled, then it's okay. I just wanted to know whether they were handled at all :-) [04:55] ps, just to confirm (cuz I did it) ... metacity is issue... libmetacity 2.9.5 is still installed, but issue is gone... === trey3 wonders if that should be on bugzilla :-? [05:03] solved === srbaker [~srbaker@blk-222-184-192.eastlink.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:04] trey3: I didn't check, merely noting a useful resource [05:05] is it possible to completely disable OSS in warty? [05:08] not to be rude or interupt or anything... but there are plenty of complaints in the Hoary forum about the Numlock key turning on and off (application based), is this going to be fixed for the hoary release? [05:08] or taken away would probably be a proper term [05:08] OddAbe19: yes, but this is probably more appropriate for #ubuntu [05:09] in the meantime, desktop->preferences->keyboard preferences->layouts->separate group for each window being unchecked seems to fix it [05:09] i understand, i was just interested in hearing it from developers though, to besure [05:09] thanks daniels [05:09] developers lurk in #ubuntu too :) [05:10] thanks again [05:10] there are many bugs in hoary which will be fixed for release. :-) [05:10] i know that... it just seemed to be more of a feature [05:10] a very, very, very misguided feature [05:10] that got a few people confused [05:10] lol === thom waits for firefox to crash [05:11] and there it goes [05:12] thom, that soo better be amd64 or something...

[05:17] haha *goes back to #ubuntu quietly* [05:19] pitti: buildds are stripping translations [05:19] Problem: `gksudo ls & gksudo ls & gksudo` makes my system hang... At least X. I kill it in tty1, problem solved. Weird command of course, but... double/triple clicking the update-notifier applet causes a similar situation. Maybe gksudo should prevent this interfering with itself? [05:19] now I just need to get the aggregator written.. [05:19] thom: mind if i upload a gecko-cil package that depends on firefox instead of mozilla? [05:23] jdub: gfi [05:24] get f*cked idiot? thanks a lot!

[06:00] elmo: you saw that partimage should be PaS on amd64 (and removed from the archive)? === lamont_r can't remember if he emailed that or not... [06:00] 1 [06:00] lamont: err, no? [06:01] elmo: yeah - it's PaS on all 64-bit arch in debian - I added amd64 last week or so [06:01] it's belief that sizeof(long)==4 is rather ubiquitous. [06:02] so when you run partimage on amd64, it dies with a complaint that sizeof(DWORD) !=4, built with incompatible gcc or some such [06:03] then again, given the archive/release model, it doesn't _really_ need to be removed from the archive... it can live on broken. :-) [06:04] muwahaha. it wouldn't be a work day if someone wasn't bitching about my choice of music [06:05] morning [06:05] yo mdz === srbaker jives in his chair to Merle Haggard.

[06:09] hm, it looks to me as if grub is segfaulting when it tries to call disk_read_savesect_func(), which is part of install_func() [06:10] the only reason I can think of for that to happen on a kernel upgrade is that the kernel is scribbling over user memory [06:10] thom: ? [06:12] grub does this weird thing with functions defined inside other functions that I don't understand [06:14] with the unichrome and i810 drivers coming entirely from HEAD of their respective development, we're still managing to keep our patchset against 6.8.2 under 100,000 lines [06:15] (of about 90,000 lines, about 50,000 is patches from X.Org HEAD, unichrome.sf.net HEAD, and linuxwacom.sf.net) [06:17] seb128: sup?

[06:32] mdz: i saw your mail, and asked the MOTU folk for some suggested text, not seen a response yet [06:32] mdz: shall I file the rest of the uninstallablle bugs? I stopped after doing two [06:33] elmo: how many are there? [06:33] thom: hmm. options I see are: create a new Bugzilla product (ugly, but easy), use a mailing list, or start using Malone [06:33] mdz: at least 10, related to the lang pack stuff [06:34] haggai, ogra, etc.: would it be useful to have a mailing list specifically for MOTU stuff? [06:34] elmo: yeah, sure [06:34] do we want to start putting language packs onto the CD? [06:34] at this point, it would probably be nice to start mailing diffs of britney output to ubuntu-devel [06:35] since stuff needs to be installable [06:35] mdz: yeah, might be a good iodea [06:35] you'll pick up temporary buildd stuff, if you do that, tho [06:35] less if you only do it once a day or so, I guess [06:35] ideally we would get notified if something stays uninstallable for a day or something, but that sounds like work [06:37] mdz: can we keep motu on -devel until there's enough to push it off? [06:38] I suppose [06:38] there is a significant amount of stuff at this point where we need an "answer" from the MOTU team on something, though [06:38] and a dedicated mailing list is better for that kind of thing [06:38] yes I agree [06:38] mdz: as in, "can we get blah updated", or...? [06:40] jdub: as in, "how do you want to manage bug tracking for universe?" [06:41] what resources do you need, etc. [06:41] have to run, back later [06:41] now there's a question we're supposed to have an answer for :) [06:42] jdub: how are the kubuntu lists? brewing nicely?

[07:04] some of these mozilla lang packs depend on like 1.2 or 1.6 of mozilla === mpt [~mpt@210-246-37-107.paradise.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ogra [~ogra@p508EB78E.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === elmo considers filing a secondary bug on "-uk" locale packages: package name is entirely broken, kthxbye [07:11] seb128: you going to fix openh323? [07:12] elmo: I didn't know that it was broken, under a pile of GNOME releases atm, but I'll check that [07:13] seb128: the pwlib sync broke it [07:13] I can just file a bug, in case someone who isn't playing one-man-gnome-army wants to fix it? [07:14] seb128: "one-man gnome army".. you need new business cards ;) [07:14] elmo: -uk vs -gb? [07:14] daniels: yeah [07:15] -ca vs godknowswhat too [07:15] seb128: i attached a patch to the gnome-panel buglet for #5822 === Kamion gives up on the amd64 kernel vs. grub problem; it's not worth the four hours I've spent on it [07:16] maybe it'll magically disappear with the next kernel revision the same way it magically appeared with this one [07:16] daniels: do I need to whine at you about lrm? [07:16] daniels: don't bother I'll fix it [07:17] elmo: I thought 2.6.9 was being multiversed [07:17] zul: I've get the mail thanks, I've pinged an upstream about it, will be fixed in the CVS today [07:17] elmo: you're going to say something involving the words nvidia_minor, ati_minor, etc, aren't you? [07:17] seb128: fix which? [07:17] seb128: sounds good [07:17] daniels: good guess [07:17] elmo: head -> desk [07:17] oh, that l-r-m [07:17] daniels: s/daniels/elmo/ [07:18] seb128: k [07:18] seb128: i'd need to get a haircut [07:18] well, grow my hair [07:18] and lose about 90% of my wardrobe [07:18] :) [07:19] Kamion: is there any reason to not just drop it? [07:20] elmo: don't care; if we drop it we should probably drop linux-source-2.6.9 too [07:20] mdz: ? [07:22] elmo: there you go [07:22] daniels: seriously, I think that needs fixed permanently [07:22] elmo: for bonus points, hack katie to remember the last *_minor and write a new girl to cause a fist to leap out of my monitor and beat the crap out of me when I forget [07:22] at least to break at source-build time [07:22] elmo: yes. ideas? [07:22] I've no idea - I don't want to look at the source package to see why it's doing that :) [07:23] but like you said, couldn't you record the last *_minor in a file and just abort if it hasn't been manually updated? [07:23] well, fglrx and nvidia have their own versions [07:23] and in the case of nvidia-glx, at least, we have namespace collision [07:23] but knowing the major versions is *exceedingly* useful, not to mention more or less necessary for sane dependencies [07:23] mmm, I suppose that's true [07:24] or at least having to touch YES-I-HAVE-BUMPED-THE-REVISIONS to source-build, and always cleaning that file [07:26] can't it work out the ubuntuN from the source version? [07:26] Kamion: no [07:26] i.e. generate N based on the -M at the end [07:26] why not? [07:27] because we revved nvidia to 1.0.6629 at l-r-m 2.6.8.1 [07:27] every time we increment -M, we also bump ubuntuN by the same amount [07:27] so? [07:27] I'm not saying that the first part should be autogenerated [07:27] oh, hm [07:27] but then you fall down with new upstream versions, no? === pitti [~martin@box79162.elkhouse.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:27] new upstreams would require something to be manually tweaked === ironwolf [~ironwolf@c-24-6-169-124.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:27] e.g. if we get a new version of nvidia-glx, the first release of that upstream version is 1.0.6743-0ubuntu237 [07:28] mmm, ok. interesting idea. [07:28] bonus points if you can come up with a patch while I'm asleep :) [07:28] either no problem, or you have REVISION-236 as ubuntuN [07:28] IIRC gcc-defaults has something like that [07:29] # gcc-defaults 1.19 is the first version with 3.3.5 support.

[11:57] dilinger: Yeah, using too much power while asleep [11:58] There's some registers that need setting to make it actually shut itself down [11:58] elmo: definitely not going to support it, if fabbione is OK with dropping it entirely, then let's do it [11:58] ok, will ask [11:58] yep. is there a spec sheet available for the card? [11:59] dilinger: Nope. [11:59] ah. fun. [11:59] Not publically, at least [11:59] There's actually code in radeonfb to do this, but (a) that only works on PPC at the moment, and (b) we don't want to require people to use radeonfb [11:59] So I need to write a small driver...
