sabdfl | whoot! how much is now pre-reboot? | 12:05 |
---|---|---|
sabdfl | Kamion, mdz: ^? | 12:06 |
mdz | sabdfl: everything | 12:06 |
mdz | well, all the questions | 12:07 |
sabdfl | fantastic | 12:07 |
sabdfl | i think that's a big win and worth the effort | 12:07 |
sabdfl | thanks guys | 12:07 |
mdz | sabdfl: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hoary-changes/2005-January/002077.html | 12:07 |
sabdfl | that will have a big impact on perceived install time, i think | 12:08 |
mdz | we still have the possibility of one question being asked by xserver-xorg if it can't probe the monitor | 12:09 |
sabdfl | that's fair enough | 12:09 |
mdz | though it should be possible to move that, too, if we want to | 12:09 |
sabdfl | does live-cd ask the same questions, if it has to? | 12:09 |
mdz | yes, if it has to | 12:09 |
mdz | so the infrastructure is already there for the installer to do it pre-reboot as well | 12:10 |
mdz | though it would require some X packaging work to get it set up that way | 12:10 |
mdz | and unpacking the X server before reboot | 12:10 |
sabdfl | i'm happy to keep the x questions post-reboot if needed | 12:11 |
sabdfl | because i think the live cd / install interaction is now such that we will get lots more feedback on the x guess-o-magic | 12:11 |
sabdfl | and quickly get those routines near perfect | 12:11 |
mdz | we've been getting lots of good feedback of that type | 12:11 |
sabdfl | super | 12:12 |
mdz | over 2000 live CD downloads from bittorrent alone | 12:12 |
mdz | powerpc especially got a lot of attention | 12:13 |

pitti | stub: FYI, I currently work on PostgreSQL 8.0 packages | 12:59 |
pitti | stub: do you guys want 8.0 in the near future? | 12:59 |
stub | pitti: Will these be in base, Multiverse or Universe for Hoary? | 12:59 |
pitti | stub: I'm not sure whether they will be in hoary at all | 01:00 |
pitti | stub: I hope to upload them to experimental soon | 01:00 |
pitti | stub: but it's still a lot of work | 01:00 |
pitti | stub: since I do a completely new architecture | 01:00 |
pitti | stub: If you guys need/want it, I can probably accelerate the pace a bit and put it into universe at least | 01:01 |
stub | pitti: I think we will want to move to them as soon as we feel safe with it (wait to see if the early adopters get burnt), but also need it in the current stable distro. I wasn't expecting on moving to the 8.x series until 5.10 | 01:01 |
elmo | stub: the options are supported or universe, not base or multiverse | 01:01 |
stub | So no need to go fast on our account. Mark and me will probably want to play though when it is available :-) | 01:01 |
pitti | stub: okay. By the Bendy release it should be well and up :-) | 01:02 |
pitti | stub: for playing with it, experimental packages should be enough, right? | 01:02 |

pitti | stub: for Sarge+1 I thought about providing an upgrade path to the multi-version architecture | 01:04 |
pitti | stub: i. e. a mostly empty postgresql package which depends on postgresql7.4 | 01:05 |
pitti | stub: however, without the dummy package, both versions should coexist quite happily | 01:05 |
stub | pitti: So you have them listening on different ports? | 01:05 |
pitti | stub: since I now manage arbitrarily many clusters/versions in parallel, I do that anyway :-) | 01:06 |
stub | pitti: cool :-) | 01:06 |
pitti | stub: if you want to play with it and comment on it, feel free to check out the arch head | 01:07 |

mdz | jdub: what was the outcome of your gnome-bt look-see yesterday? | 02:30 |
jba | hi guys, I'm trying to find more information about ubuntu laptop support and this url (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/teams/laptop/view) said that the laptop guys hang in here? | 02:30 |
mdz | jba: that's right | 02:31 |
jba | cool, I don't suppose there is a whole wiki section devoted to laptop items ? or even a laptop blog? | 02:31 |
mdz | jba: mjg59 heads the laptop team | 02:31 |
mdz | there are a number of laptop-related pages in the wiki | 02:31 |
mjg59 | jba: Not currently, but it's a good idea | 02:31 |
mdz | but I don't think there's a central overview | 02:32 |
jba | yeah but they seem disparate, and some seem contradictory | 02:32 |
mdz | yeah, there ought to be | 02:32 |
mdz | jba: this is symptomatic of wikis ;-) | 02:32 |
jba | yeah i know, I got excited when i saw there was a laptop team | 02:32 |
mdz | if you have the gumption, feel free to straighten out any wrongness in the wiki, and organize things better | 02:33 |
jba | thought it mean that you guys where already mega organised, but obviously, in that respect, you guys are getting there. | 02:33 |
jba | besides it's probably better to devote resources to hacking right now | 02:33 |
mdz | we coordinate here, on the ubuntu-devel mailing list, in the wiki, and in bugzilla | 02:33 |
jba | mdz, the main thing confsing me now is the thing about custom dsdt files being in 2.6.9 kernel, but apparently not in 1.6.10 | 02:33 |
jba | i mean 2.6.10 | 02:34 |
jba | and I can't seem to find a reason for this | 02:34 |
mjg59 | jba: 2.6.10 has support for dsdt files in the initrd | 02:34 |
mdz | Ubuntu 2.6.10 does, but not upstream, right? | 02:34 |
mjg59 | Correct | 02:34 |
jba | it does? some people in the mailing list claim it doesn't | 02:34 |
jba | mjg59, cool thanks dude | 02:34 |
mdz | maybe they are not using Ubuntu kernels | 02:34 |
mjg59 | jba: On ubuntu-users? | 02:35 |
jba | mjg59, i think so, to be honest i googled it yesterday and can't recall | 02:35 |
jba | but if it's there, then good | 02:35 |
jba | that means all i need to do is dissassemble my dsdt table fix the memory setting, recompile and add it to initrd, correct ? | 02:35 |
=== mpt_ [~mpt@p188.h-yulrz01.stsn.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
mjg59 | jba: Correct | 02:36 |
mjg59 | We'll have support in initrd-tools to do this automatically before release | 02:36 |
jba | cool, really wasn't looking forward to compiling a kernel though | 02:36 |
jba | mjg59, when is "before the release" ? | 02:36 |
jba | roughly | 02:36 |
mjg59 | jba: When either mdz or I write it :) | 02:36 |
mjg59 | It won't take long, but I'm a bit busy with real-life stuff at the moment | 02:37 |
jba | hehe, I didn't mean it like that dude, just trying to get a feel for when | 02:37 |
mdz | mjg59: actually, jbailey is the ideal person to do that now | 02:37 |
mjg59 | mdz: Oh, good point | 02:37 |
mjg59 | I'll hassle him about it | 02:37 |
jba | mjg59, i can imagine dude. | 02:37 |
mdz | mjg59: isn't there a bug open already? | 02:37 |
mdz | ah, I already gave it to him | 02:37 |
jba | as i understand it, the automatic initrd image adding only happens at ubuntu kernel installation time? | 02:37 |
mdz | mdz: good thinking | 02:37 |
jba | jdub, by the way dude, did you get that link i was talking about yesterday (the nautilus share extension)? | 02:38 |
mjg59 | jba: Yes, or whenever someone runs mkinitrd | 02:38 |
jba | cool | 02:38 |
robertj | is hoary still accepting new packages? | 02:38 |
jba | did you guys want me to write up my experiences with adding a custom dsdt with 2.6.10 kernels ? | 02:39 |
jba | or has someone already done that? | 02:39 |
mdz | robertj: in universe, yes | 02:40 |
mjg59 | jba: If you could write a wiki page on custom DSDTs, that would be great | 02:40 |
jba | btw props on includding pptp client 1.5.0 in this ubuntu version | 02:40 |
jba | mjg59, i'll give it a shot, but I'm not registered on the wiki yet | 02:41 |
robertj | mdz: will wesnoth get updated auotomatically from sid? | 02:41 |
mdz | robertj: no, only if requested | 02:41 |
jba | oh and, My baby is due to be born any day, so I may not get the chance to finish it too soon (which is why i asked when the automatic stuff would be released) | 02:41 |
robertj | is there a form anywhere ;) | 02:41 |
mjg59 | jba: Only takes a minute :) | 02:42 |
mdz | daniels: rock, your new xorg fixes the gl crash on my laptop. good work | 02:42 |
jba | mjg59, to write it up yes, to do it and get it working, well that takes a while for me | 02:42 |
jba | i'm using a dell lattitude x300 | 02:42 |
mdz | robertj: no, that particular process is lacking in documentation | 02:42 |
robertj | mdz: mail the devel list? | 02:42 |
mjg59 | jba: jdub has identical hardware | 02:42 |
mdz | robertj: basically, we need to know the source package name, the version you want, and why | 02:43 |
jba | mjg59, no shit ? | 02:43 |
mdz | robertj: to ubuntu-devel, yes | 02:43 |
mjg59 | And working suspend/resume now that he's fixed his dsdt | 02:43 |
robertj | oky | 02:43 |
mdz | robertj: for main, the 'why' should generally be to fix bugs, but we're a bit more flexible with universe | 02:43 |
jba | mjg59, i don't care about suspend/resume, I'm more interest in knowing when to plug power in | 02:43 |
mjg59 | Haha | 02:44 |
mjg59 | Yeah, that works too | 02:44 |
jba | jdub, do you mind if we exchange war wounds with the x300 and ubuntu ? | 02:44 |
jba | mjg59, serious though, that's all I really want from dsdt | 02:44 |
jba | my machine has turned off on me in the middle of a crucial mono hack 3 times already cause i forget the power | 02:44 |
jba | now i just don't cycle the battery, use power all the time | 02:44 |
jba | i might try jdub's blog for more info, but I don't remember seeing anything about it in planet.gnome.org | 02:46 |
robertj | mdz: coming at ya | 02:48 |
robertj | err if evolution is happy ;) | 02:48 |
jba | does jdub work for canonical or just volunteer? | 02:48 |
Mithrandir | jba: he's a canonical employee. | 02:49 |
Mithrandir | jba: he's the release manager. :) | 02:49 |
jba | wow cool | 02:49 |
jba | he is in the .au too isn't he? | 02:50 |
tseng | yeah, he sleeps all day while i am awake | 02:50 |
tseng | pretty wild, eh? | 02:50 |
jba | that must mean he has working wifi and alsa sound on his machine too | 02:50 |
Mithrandir | jba: not sure, he has a dell. ;) | 02:50 |
Mithrandir | unlike the rest of us, who have nice and groovy x40s. | 02:51 |
=== tseng has a dell, it works | ||
tseng | jba: do you have the irq conflict issue? | 02:51 |
jba | Mithrandir, that was my point, we have the same machine | 02:51 |
jba | tseng, used to work, before i updated on sunday | 02:51 |
jba | used to work, but always boot with volume at 0 | 02:51 |
jba | now doesm't work at all | 02:51 |
tseng | again, irq conflict? | 02:51 |
jba | tseng, let me check that | 02:52 |
tseng | read dmesg | 02:52 |
robertj | is the nvdriver s3 problem a known issue? | 02:52 |
tseng | possible around where ipw2x00 is loaded | 02:52 |
sladen | mjg59: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2001-06/msg00141.html It looks like grub might already have the necessary support to pass it multiple initrd's | 02:52 |
jba | faq need to find a power cable | 02:52 |
mjg59 | sladen: Did that get included? | 02:53 |
jba | tseng, one second booting haory now | 02:53 |
mjg59 | It probably doesn't add the correct magic to demarcate the initrd, though | 02:53 |
sladen | mjg59: so might be able to do initrd={real initrd}, initrd={DSDT HEADER}, initrd={replacement dsdt} | 02:53 |
jba | tseng, which dell do you ahve? | 02:53 |
tseng | jba: 600m | 02:53 |
jba | aah | 02:53 |
mjg59 | Ah, I see what you mean | 02:53 |
mjg59 | That would be kind of neat | 02:53 |
jba | tseng, what's something to grep dmesg with quickly? | 02:54 |
tseng | jba: ipw .. if you have an intel wifi card | 02:55 |
tseng | the driver complains if it cant get the irq | 02:55 |
sladen | poor update-grub would probably choke | 02:55 |
mjg59 | update-grub can be dealt with | 02:56 |
jba | no ipw in dmesg | 02:56 |

tseng | ill give you the bug # your issue is similar to | 03:01 |
robertj | sladen: something giving you more trouble than expected? | 03:01 |
sladen | robertj: hopefully more than the 15minutes-before-the-31st-January-deadline I allowed for the Tax return this evening | 03:01 |
jba | that would be most helpful thanks | 03:01 |
sladen | robertj: yes, the bit I'm worried about involves x86 computers. They are unique in that they come up in something called a 'text console', rather than a framebuffer. To change to a framebuffer mode, you need to figure that out and set it in the bootloader. Now what happens if you set a mode the attached monitor can't handle? | 03:02 |
tseng | jba: have a look at https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254 | 03:03 |
robertj | sladen: they buy a new monitor? | 03:03 |
robertj | (very rarely) | 03:03 |
tseng | jba: it sounds related based on the very limited info youve given so far. (sound + wifi no worky) | 03:03 |
sladen | robertj: X falls back to a text-console to allow you to fix things if it fails; ...but now you've just made their bootloader unuseable | 03:03 |
sladen | anyone know 'Dave Cinege' ? | 03:04 |
jba | tseng, thanks for your help dude, I'll take anything I can get, since I didn't even come in here for that :) | 03:04 |
robertj | sladen: so the rub is you force the fb from the start things can be unusable | 03:04 |
sladen | robertj: I ignore the problem presently, since it is a big headache | 03:06 |
sladen | robertj: hence hacking up a semi-equivalent text-based version of the graphics so that it can at least display /something/ | 03:07 |
robertj | sladen: text-based? | 03:07 |
jba | lspci says my lappy is using a braodcom wireless | 03:07 |

sladen | robertj: no, the actual code is identical. The unique problem on x86/amd64 is going to be setting grub to pass vga=XXX on the kernel commandline based on what VESA modes where reported as being the closest match to what xresprobe/ddcprobe has found the monitor capable | 03:25 |
sladen | mdz: the first of many this week I suspect :) | 03:25 |
sladen | robertj: I've done nothing in that respect since it's currently easier to say ''append vga=791 if you'd like pretty 1024x768 goo'' | 03:26 |
robertj | sladen: do mac's not have that problem if you don't use video=ofonly? | 03:28 |
sladen | robertj: usplash just wants a framebuffer; doesn't really care how it got there | 03:30 |
Riddell | is the wiki broken? I can't log in | 03:31 |
robertj | was just curious ;) | 03:31 |
robertj | is the usplash artwork finalized? | 03:34 |
sladen | robertj: nope. I'm build-depending on ubuntu-artwork and pulling in the GNOME background/splash/throbber and whoever is doing the artwork can deal with that | 03:37 |
tritium | sladen, so I take it you didn't care for my grub splash image that I emailed you? | 03:39 |
sladen | tritium: grub splash is a different thing. | 03:39 |
tritium | sladen, I realize that | 03:39 |
tritium | you has asked me to submit the image to you, though | 03:40 |
wasabi | heh: available updates: test | 03:40 |
sladen | tritium: if you read back a bit, you'll see why I'm scared of /automatically/ doing anything graphical at the grub level---eg. you toast their monitor, they can't even select the 'recovery' option and skip it. However, that doesn't mean I've ignored it or haven't added it to the collection | 03:40 |
tritium | I joined too late to see that. | 03:41 |
wasabi | How's apple do it? | 03:41 |
tritium | okay, glad to hear it. I just wasn't sure, since I hadn't heard back from you. | 03:41 |
sladen | tritium: it's here in fact: http://www.paul.sladen.org/ubuntu/usplash/ideas/tritium/ubuntu-splash-5-colour.xpm | 03:42 |
tritium | :) | 03:42 |
tritium | thanks, sladen | 03:42 |
sladen | wasabi: Apple is not a problem. OF makes use of all the things like sensing pins and brings it up in the correct mode that fully fills the screen | 03:43 |
wasabi | ahh. | 03:43 |
wasabi | what about MS? | 03:43 |
wasabi | they just do low res don't they though | 03:43 |
robertj | wasabi: they changed at some point | 03:43 |
robertj | like sp1 maybe | 03:44 |
robertj | now on some machines its centered in the middle of the display | 03:44 |
tritium | sladen, zenwhen's idea is similar to my second idea (rotating ubuntu logo) | 03:44 |
sladen | I think it may even be the 640x400x16 mode until they can probe anything more | 03:44 |
wasabi | heh. | 03:45 |
robertj | I really like the idea of the rotating ubuntu log | 03:45 |
tritium | cool! | 03:45 |
wasabi | yeah that sounds slick. | 03:45 |
robertj | sladen: I've noticed recently that some fix the resolution properly from the start (usually 1024x768) | 03:46 |
tritium | I'm glad you agree :) | 03:46 |
robertj | My machine doesn't do it but the ones I have installed from at the Office that are standard Dimensions + Ultrascan Flat panels do | 03:46 |
tritium | sometimes there's something to be said for simplicity | 03:46 |
wasabi | I've been thinking about this update-manager thing. | 03:46 |
robertj | tritium: like the Apple? | 03:47 |
wasabi | I love the way it looks... but I wonder if showing stuff like "debconf" as an updateable is worth showing users. | 03:47 |
tritium | robertj, I meant the rotating ubuntu logo is simple, yet appealing | 03:48 |
robertj | yeah | 03:48 |
wasabi | Wonder if there could be some logical grouping to roll up many packages into one big group... like "System Components"... for everything that's built in. | 03:48 |
sladen | robertj: interesting. Some 'what' fix the resolution? | 03:48 |
wasabi | and then "PostgreSQL Database Server" for postgres, and all it's component packages, etc etc. | 03:48 |
robertj | sladen: certain machines | 03:49 |
robertj | running XP | 03:49 |
robertj | maybe it trusts the bios to doko DDC probing? | 03:49 |
robertj | %s/ko// | 03:50 |
sladen | robertj: tell me more. At what point is it flicking to the native panel resolution (not just the panel stretching) | 03:50 |
robertj | sladen: bios, blackscreen, then the moving blue bar | 03:50 |
robertj | and at the bar its good | 03:51 |
sladen | hmm | 03:51 |
robertj | but it still does the flicker when you laod into the GUI | 03:51 |
mdz | wasabi: there is certainly more that could be done to simplify the interface | 03:52 |
robertj | sladen: is it possible to get the monitor's serial number without too much fuss? | 03:53 |
wasabi | I'm sitting here trying to think through how one would accomplish something like that. There isn't much of a grouping at all in apt of relating packages. | 03:53 |
mdz | wasabi: but given that the only real option was previously synaptic, it's come a long way already :-) | 03:53 |
robertj | maybe it just stores the default res in the bootloader | 03:53 |
wasabi | yeah, it's amazing. | 03:53 |
wasabi | I'll give you that. I think it's a great app. | 03:53 |
wasabi | I use it instead of synaptic now heh | 03:53 |
mdz | we had discussed one way to group things | 03:53 |
mdz | along the same lines as gnome-app-install | 03:53 |
wasabi | desktop files? | 03:53 |
mdz | applications would be represented as first-class things, and other packages as "system software" etc. | 03:54 |
robertj | gnome-update-manager is another option to synaptic in the same way a can-opener is another option to using an axe | 03:54 |
wasabi | hahaha | 03:54 |
robertj | users could really care less | 03:54 |
robertj | securing your computer .... with a countdown timer would make them happy | 03:54 |
=== Sparhawk_ [~sparhawk@c-24-14-121-93.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
tritium | Speaking of security, I'm performing the "Sandia Secure Unix/Linux Operating System Certification Tests" to get ubuntu officially approved for use within Sandia National Labs | 03:59 |
robertj | sladen: ok, simple theory to explain the correct proportions on the new monitors | 04:00 |
robertj | the new monitors are all digital flat panels so it probably just automatically sized down the stuff to keep it from looking horrible | 04:01 |
mdz | tritium: what sort of tests are involved? anything meaningful? | 04:01 |
robertj | and windows is probably none the wizer | 04:01 |
robertj | sladen: more reaosnable sounding? | 04:02 |
tritium | mdz, they're pretty simple, actually. Discretionary access controls and auditing, basically. | 04:02 |
robertj | sladen: and the initial bootsplash is 320x400 | 04:02 |
tritium | mdz, the test plan was written in 1999, and is going to be revised soon. I assume it'll get more rigorous. | 04:03 |
jdub | jba: there? | 04:03 |
tritium | So I'm working with another person to get the testing done soon. | 04:03 |
jba | jdub, yep | 04:04 |
jba | back from lunch | 04:04 |
sladen | tritium: wow. groovy. Excellent in fact! | 04:04 |
mdz | jdub: what was the outcome of your gnome-bt look-see yesterday? | 04:04 |
jba | actually had lunch at my desk | 04:04 |
jdub | jba: everything in the X300 works, but you need to load a custom DSDT, and i haven't tried the modem | 04:04 |
tritium | sladen, I think so too :) | 04:04 |
jdub | mdz: didn't get a chance, doing it today | 04:05 |
jba | jdub, you're wireless works "off the bat" | 04:05 |
jba | and I figured about the dsdt | 04:05 |
=== jdub sucks down the package | ||
jdub | jba: ipw2200 in mine, works fine | 04:05 |
jba | faq | 04:05 |
jba | we don't actually have identical hardware then | 04:05 |
jba | cool jdub, thanks for he assistance dude, much appreciated | 04:06 |
jdub | despite being a dell, and the DSDT issue, i can happily recommend the X300. lovely little box. | 04:06 |
jba | yeah, cept the Fn F8 has issues | 04:06 |
jdub | the only other option was an ipw2100, wasn't it? | 04:06 |
jba | doesn't even work properly in windows | 04:06 |
jba | jdub, i don't know, I didn't buy this machine, was bought by network adming | 04:06 |
tritium | You'd laugh at the simplicity of some of the tests. (e.g., 6.1: Verify that UIDs are associated with all processes on the machine) | 04:06 |
jba | i think mine has a broadcom in it | 04:07 |
sladen | robertj: 320x400 sounds familier. When does it stop being 'initial bootsplash' and start becoming the 1024... one | 04:07 |
robertj | sladen: i was thinking it was scaling it down but now that I think about it it's probably just the monitor | 04:07 |
jdub | jba: lspci? | 04:07 |
robertj | :( | 04:07 |
jba | jdub, did yo install the ubuntu i855crt or i80?switch from universe ? | 04:07 |
jba | jdub 1 sec booting again | 04:07 |
jdub | jba: if they did get the broadcom, tell them they're nutters :) | 04:07 |
robertj | sladen: thus no secret magic :( | 04:07 |
jdub | jba: i use i855crt | 04:08 |
tritium | jdub, but Waugh...uh...what is it good for? | 04:08 |
jba | it doesn't put that crap band accross the top on return from crt? | 04:08 |
jdub | hrm, no | 04:08 |
jba | jdub, it was never their intention to get a linux machine. my lappy is a windows machine that I dual booted | 04:08 |
jdub | haven't tried for a while, but the worst problem with it atm is lack of mouse cursor | 04:08 |
jba | for mono hacking | 04:08 |
jba | Fn F2 turns on wifi and blue tooth correct ? | 04:09 |
tseng | yep | 04:09 |
jdub | jba: roughly | 04:09 |
jba | roughly? | 04:10 |
jba | do i need to press it twice or something ? | 04:10 |
jdub | well, it seems to work and not work depending on the state of acpi and whether it's raining in cleveland | 04:10 |
jba | hey also, how come ubuntu install cd dosn't have a rescue mode | 04:10 |
jba | jdub, someone posted a way to fix that too, but it needs a kernel recompile | 04:10 |
=== jba hates kernel recompiles | ||

jba | broadcom bcm4036 wireless | 04:11 |
mjg59 | You lose | 04:11 |
jba | hehe | 04:12 |
=== jdub has committed to no kernel compiles on any ubuntu system he runs :) | ||
mjg59 | More seriously - we have someone working on Broadcom support, but it may not happen for Hoary | 04:12 |
jba | double faqers | 04:12 |
jba | don't need wireless yet anyhow | 04:12 |
jba | just want acpi | 04:12 |
jba | and bluetooth would be nice | 04:12 |
mjg59 | You can get wireless with ndiswrapper | 04:12 |
mjg59 | bluetooth should just work, really | 04:13 |
jba | mjg59, will test when i get my bluetooth phone | 04:13 |
jdub | bluetooth just works | 04:13 |
jba | i might go ndiswraper then | 04:13 |
jba | i really don't want to do a kernel recompile | 04:13 |
jba | and no one uses an sd card reader | 04:14 |
mjg59 | If you need to do a kernel recompile, that means we've messed up | 04:14 |
mjg59 | There's no support for SD readers yet, unless they're USB-connected | 04:14 |
sladen | or PCMCIA connected | 04:15 |
jba | i'm a happy camper | 04:15 |
marcin_ | jdub: hi! Is website contest finished (I'm not sure in which time zone you are)? | 04:15 |
mdz | I don't think compiling the kernel helps for bc4036 | 04:15 |
mdz | note that you don't need to recompile to get ndiswrapper; it's already there | 04:15 |
jba | will have working wireless, bluetooth and battery indicator by the end of this week (fingers crossed) | 04:15 |
sladen | mdz: thanks | 04:16 |
jba | jdub, where you guys standing on shipping mono? | 04:16 |
jdub | jba: possibly for the next release | 04:16 |
jdub | it's all in universe at the moment, and lots of apps are nicely up to date | 04:16 |
jba | 1.1.4 is about to be pushed out in the coming days | 04:17 |
jba | that will be the version to push out | 04:17 |
jdub | we haven't upgraded beyond 1.0 yet | 04:17 |
jdub | it's tempting, but there have been lots of build problems, etc. | 04:18 |
jdub | if you, or another mono dude, could update the packages and be sure that they work, that'd really help | 04:18 |
jdub | the worst part is the bootstrapping problem | 04:18 |
jdub | lamont and thom can probably help out with that | 04:18 |
jdub | tseng: i can't get to your site | 04:19 |
tseng | jdub: hm? | 04:19 |
=== tseng looks | ||
ajmitch | jdub: build problems were mostly fixed with 1.0.5 | 04:19 |
ajmitch | which has just gone into sid | 04:19 |
jba | jdub, i've never packaged linux (let alone deb) software before, but I'd love to help | 04:19 |
tseng | jdub: the admin just ping timeout on irc, not a good sign | 04:19 |
tseng | jdub: i can upload elsewhere | 04:19 |
jba | I'm just cautious of taking on more than i can swallow in the coming months (baby and all) | 04:20 |
=== tgecho [~tgecho@195-94.suscom-maine.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
lamont | jba: 1.1.4 will need to actually be able to build 1.1.4 before it gets into the archive. | 04:21 |
=== tgecho [~tgecho@195-94.suscom-maine.net] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
lamont | unlike 1.0.4, which can't build itself (must be built using 1.0.2) | 04:21 |
ajmitch | lamont: 1.0.5 can build 1.0.5 - it was a problem with havnig .net 2.0 stuff enabled | 04:21 |
lamont | if 1.0.5 can actually build itself, then we have a good chance of having things happy | 04:21 |
lamont | jdub: I'll let you ask yourself to approve the sync.. :-) | 04:22 |
jba | lamont, didn't know that was the problem, I'm pretty sure 1.1.4 can build itself, 1 sec and I'll check | 04:22 |
tseng | jdub: copied to http://smarterits.com/~brandon/tomboy/ | 04:23 |
jba | from #mono | 04:24 |
jba | <jba> hey guys can 1.1.4 build itself? | 04:24 |
jba | <miguel> This is just a preview I repeat | 04:24 |
jba | <miguel> jba, yes | 04:24 |
jba | its still a preview guys, but it's meant to be the most stable release so far | 04:24 |
ajmitch | jba: do you think it is good to put in a devel branch of mono over a stable branch? | 04:24 |
jdub | yeah, a number of mono hackers have been urging us to upgrade to 1.1.x because it's better that 1.0 | 04:24 |
jba | not yet no | 04:24 |
jba | i'm just asking about it is all | 04:25 |
ajmitch | especially as the upstream version freeze is in place now | 04:25 |
jba | aah well, next time | 04:25 |
ajmitch | it's up to the release people here anyway :) | 04:25 |
jdub | ajmitch: though we're more relaxed with universe | 04:25 |
ajmitch | jdub: yeah, which is a good thing | 04:25 |
jba | to be honest, this kind of thing is precisely what upstream version freeze is for | 04:26 |
sladen | mdz: just answering that email. splash= can stay on the command line, and usplash will happily draw a similar-ish text equivalent. What should probably be ommitted is that 'video=' or 'vga=' lines | 04:26 |
jba | stop upstream packages sneaking in cause they're almost there at release time | 04:26 |
tseng | jba: er, not really | 04:27 |
tseng | before freeze things are auto synced from sid, thats what needed to be frozen | 04:27 |
tseng | as far as manual merges, they can be followed closely | 04:27 |
tseng | and reverted at worst case. | 04:27 |
=== tseng points at warty firefox | ||
jba | well in that case, a quote from miguel | 04:28 |
jba | <miguel> I strongly suggest 1.1.4 instead of 1.0.x series at this point | 04:28 |
jba | <miguel> Unless you must remain stable | 04:28 |
tseng | jba: note that mono is in universe as well | 04:28 |
mako | jdub: that's cool! | 04:28 |
jba | tseng, yeah jdub enlightened me to that fact too | 04:29 |
jdub | mako: going to do this every morning or so | 04:29 |
mako | jdub: rock | 04:29 |
jdub | mako: it's now in <ul> so you can copy to traffic :) | 04:29 |
jba | jdub, you never got back to me about the smb share extension? am i beating a dead horse without knowing it? | 04:29 |
jdub | jba: oh, which one was it? | 04:29 |
jba | i'llget linky again | 04:30 |
tseng | jdub: tomboy mirror working now? | 04:30 |
jdub | tseng: so, you don't need the debian/dirs file | 04:30 |
jdub | especially with usr/sbin in it ;) | 04:30 |
jba | jdub, http://gentoo.ovibes.net/nautilus-share/ | 04:31 |
jba | and http://gentoo.ovibes.net/nautilus-share/ubuntu | 04:31 |

jba | jdub, that's what i was asking you, is there a gnome thing coming? | 04:32 |
jdub | tseng: i'd recommend versioning your package '0.3.1-1ubuntu1' | 04:33 |
tseng | i havent made a patch yet to force the install into /usr/share/dotnet | 04:33 |
jdub | duncanm: i'd like to, we just need someone keen enough to test that 1.1.4 can build, and all the important apps work with it | 04:33 |
jdub | tseng: yeah, so i roughly think that's crackish | 04:34 |
tseng | jdub: id agree, but its the policy laid forward | 04:34 |
tseng | so it should be done at some point. | 04:34 |
jdub | tseng: if you're intending to get it into debian, go for it :) | 04:34 |
tseng | id like to get a sane pacage into hoary for now | 04:34 |
tseng | and conquer debian another day | 04:35 |
jdub | yeah | 04:35 |
jdub | otherwise it's looking very sane | 04:35 |
ajmitch | tseng: what have you been packaging? | 04:35 |
jdub | you don't really need DOCS given your rules file | 04:35 |

jdub | ajmitch: no one's said anything | 04:36 |
ajmitch | alright | 04:36 |
ajmitch | I'll take a look then | 04:36 |
tseng | jdub: one question | 04:37 |
tseng | jdub: lintian complains about duplicate deps, thats from the ${net:Depends} ${sh:Depends} | 04:37 |
tseng | not sure where i pulled that from, but im unsure if net:Depends by itself will get all deps properly | 04:38 |
tseng | like libgtkspell | 04:38 |
tseng | anyway to spot check that? | 04:38 |
ajmitch | ${net:Depends} is from dh_netdeps, iirc | 04:39 |
tseng | yes, it is | 04:39 |
tseng | but i dont think all the linked code is managed | 04:39 |
ajmitch | it says it'll look at the assemblies for info | 04:39 |
ajmitch | right | 04:39 |
jdub | hrm, i don't seem to have dupe depends | 04:39 |
tseng | oh i just have net:Depends atm | 04:40 |
jdub | oh | 04:40 |
tseng | im thinking that might not catch libgtkspell, however | 04:40 |
tseng | try adding sh:Depends | 04:41 |
tseng | i put up 1ubuntu1 with your suggestions also. | 04:41 |
jdub | with only net:Depends, i have: | 04:42 |
jdub | Depends: mono-jit (>= 1.0.4) | mono-mint (>= 1.0.4), libdbus-cil (>= 0.23-2), libgconf-cil (>= 1.0), libglib-cil (>= 1.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.6.0), libgnome-cil (>= 1.0), libgtk-cil (>= 1.0), libgtkspell0 (>= 2.0.2), libpanel-applet2-0 (>= 2.9.90), mono-assemblies-base (>= 1.0) | 04:42 |

tseng | jdub: rock, thanks | 04:48 |
tseng | jba: yes i run muine-cvs | 04:48 |
jba | tseng, 1 sec i'll ask tberman why the number wasn't bumped | 04:49 |
tseng | jba: would love to get a package in when 0.8.1 hits | 04:49 |
tseng | which number? | 04:49 |
ajmitch | hmm, why does mono-mint appear to be at 0.96? | 04:49 |
tseng | ajmitch: thats the minimum version per standards | 04:49 |
duncanm | oh, i'd like to advocate not to ship mint, btw | 04:49 |
duncanm | we have JITs available on a lot more architectures now | 04:49 |
tseng | mint is needs on amd64 in 1.x | 04:49 |

jba | tseng, most of mono gtk tool sin svn now dep on gtk-sharp 2 anhyhow | 04:50 |
jdub | duncanm: amd64? | 04:50 |
duncanm | tseng: yeah, but it's no longer the case for 1.1 | 04:50 |
ajmitch | tseng: yes, but it appears to depend on other 0.96 packages | 04:50 |
jdub | duncanm: sparc? | 04:50 |
duncanm | we have a JIT for amd64 in 1.1, and also a more stable sparc JIT | 04:50 |
jba | including gtkmozembed, monodevelop, gtksourceveiew-sharp and co | 04:50 |
duncanm | jdub: we have a sparc JIT | 04:50 |
jdub | cool | 04:50 |
duncanm | we run regression test suites on it too | 04:50 |
duncanm | as we move towards 1.1.x | 04:50 |
jdub | would you recommend the option of mint or jit for sparc? | 04:50 |
duncanm | and towards the 2.0 framework | 04:51 |
tseng | jba: hm, so the consensus is to package it? | 04:51 |
duncanm | i think the JIT will work | 04:51 |
duncanm | mint will become less and less maintained | 04:51 |
duncanm | because all the work on doing .NET generics is happening on the JIT | 04:51 |
tseng | jdub: thanks for all your help dude. | 04:51 |
jdub | so it's kinda jit-or-die really? | 04:51 |
duncanm | and it is unlikely that the interpreter will get generics support | 04:52 |
jdub | tseng: no probs, now we just have to get you MOTU love :) | 04:52 |
ajmitch | tseng: the debian pkg-mono group don't appear to have 1.1.x stuff packaged at all | 04:52 |
duncanm | well, .NET was always envisioned to be JIT'ed | 04:52 |
tseng | ajmitch: nope | 04:52 |
tseng | ajmitch: the muine maintainer has them in his webspace | 04:52 |
ajmitch | ah | 04:52 |
ajmitch | lovely | 04:52 |
jdub | tseng: aha, handy :) | 04:52 |
tseng | ill dig them out | 04:52 |
duncanm | it can be interpreted, but that was never a stated goal in its design | 04:52 |
=== ajmitch gets back to trying to get a gsf-sharp tarball | ||
jba | ajmitch, what is gsf-sharp ? | 04:53 |
tseng | http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk/people/cmdjb/2004/muine/devel/ | 04:53 |
tseng | muine cvs and gtk-sharp2 | 04:53 |
duncanm | hrm | 04:54 |
ajmitch | jba: package used by beagle for reading office files, iirc | 04:54 |
jba | aah that;s right yeah | 04:54 |
ajmitch | not that you can tell from the README | 04:54 |
jba | by the way guys, duncanm is the guy that does most of the packaging for mono releases, he can be of great assistance here | 04:55 |
duncanm | who decides on how Mono is done for ubuntu? | 04:55 |
=== miguelkj [~miguel@h000f669ef289.ne.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
miguelkj | Hey folks | 04:55 |
duncanm | from the Mono standpoint, it'd be nice if the package names are all the same | 04:55 |
ajmitch | duncanm: as I understand it, no one person yet :) | 04:55 |
miguelkj | I wanted to clear up some confussion | 04:55 |
duncanm | hey miguel | 04:55 |
ajmitch | hello miguel | 04:55 |
miguelkj | Mono 1.1.x is a superset of Mono 1.0.x | 04:56 |
miguelkj | Hey Dude | 04:56 |
mako | miguelkj: hola | 04:56 |
miguelkj | Gtk# 2.0 is not a superset of Gtk# 1.0 | 04:56 |
miguelkj | Is a refactoring and cleanup effort, which *might* break (although we have tried not to) | 04:56 |
jdub | morning miguelito | 04:56 |
miguelkj | Gtk# 1.9.xxx is still a development version, and its api is likely to keep changing | 04:56 |
tseng | heya miguel | 04:56 |
wasabi | So, mono 1.1 + gtk# 1.0 should be compatible? | 04:56 |
duncanm | miguelkj: i'm also talking of not shipping 'mint' | 04:57 |
miguelkj | For now we are recommending that people use Gtk# 1.0, and if they want to use Gtk# 2.0, that its properly flagged as `unstable' | 04:57 |
duncanm | wasabi: they are compatible | 04:57 |
miguelkj | mono 1.1 + gtk# 1.0 is just perfect | 04:57 |
ajmitch | duncanm: currently the packaging for mono is grabbed straight from debian | 04:57 |
wasabi | yes yes, i don't mean with each other | 04:57 |
jdub | duncanm: we're following debian mono guidelines for the moment | 04:57 |
miguelkj | You can parallel install gtk#1.0 and 1.9, but 1.9 is still under development | 04:57 |
duncanm | hrm | 04:57 |
duncanm | from the Mono standpoint, it'll be nice if the package names are all the same, it cuts down on the FAQ | 04:57 |
tseng | im interested in shipping 1.9, as muine depends on it | 04:57 |
duncanm | but i dunno if that's possible | 04:58 |
miguelkj | That is fine, but flag the `-devel' packages as `unstable' | 04:58 |
miguelkj | Ie, dont encourage people to use it until we are done | 04:58 |
tseng | thats how it is here: | 04:58 |
miguelkj | (so we can avoid things like missmatches) | 04:58 |
tseng | http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk/people/cmdjb/2004/muine/devel/ | 04:58 |
tseng | the source, anyway, is -unstable | 04:58 |
=== bradb [~bradb@modemcable037.43-70-69.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
tseng | the bins follow standard naming. | 04:58 |
miguelkj | Anyways, if someone has troubling questions, I will be happy to answer them | 04:59 |
miguelkj | Maybe I should write a FAQ on this subject | 04:59 |
jba | sounds like a good idea | 04:59 |
jdub | miguelkj: maybe a "SHIP THIS!" status thingy on the release page :) | 05:00 |
miguelkj | Heh | 05:01 |
miguelkj | Gtk# 1.0, Mono 1.0 usually | 05:01 |
miguelkj | But with 1.1.4 we have crossed the point where the -devel is way better than the -stable | 05:01 |
duncanm | tseng: do you guys have a /usr/share/dotnet dir in the Debian packaging? | 05:03 |
=== BenM [~benm@node-423a1f71.cle.onnet.us.uu.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
ajmitch | duncanm: yep :) | 05:03 |
tseng | yes. | 05:03 |
jdub | (sooo muuuuch craaaack) | 05:03 |
tseng | i didnt patch tomboy to follow that yet, i will before pushing to debian | 05:03 |
tseng | lest i be mauled | 05:03 |
ajmitch | jdub: it cou be worse | 05:03 |
duncanm | and that's a rename of /usr/lib/mono ? | 05:03 |
ajmitch | s/cou/could/ | 05:03 |
miguelkj | what lives in share/dotnet? | 05:03 |
ajmitch | the GAC | 05:04 |
miguelkj | Oh, that is not right | 05:04 |
ajmitch | on my sid box I don't have /usr/lib/mono | 05:04 |
miguelkj | it should be lib/dotnet | 05:04 |
miguelkj | because there are certain per-architecture .dlls | 05:04 |
ajmitch | the argument was made that since they are meant to be arch-independent, they should be in share | 05:04 |
lamont | jdub: wrt mono, if we decide that we don't want 1.1 because of UVF, we should really take 1.0.5 instead | 05:04 |
ajmitch | that's what I assumed | 05:04 |
miguelkj | Someone did not know better | 05:04 |
duncanm | lamont: what's UVF? | 05:04 |
tseng | duncanm: upstream version freeze | 05:05 |
lamont | upstream version freeze | 05:05 |
miguelkj | I can tell you right now that its broken ;-) | 05:05 |
=== ajmitch is still the pnet packager for some reason, which uses /usr/lib/cscc | ||
lamont | 1.0.4 violates holy principles | 05:05 |
=== marioch [~marioch@red-corp-200.38.1.210.telnor.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
tseng | miguelkj: ironically, they argue in ignorance of your point that lib is for arch specific libs | 05:05 |
duncanm | who's the debian packager for Mono? | 05:05 |
ajmitch | the numbers don't add to a multiple of 3? | 05:05 |
tseng | miguelkj: if there are arch-specific dlls, their case falls apart. | 05:05 |
miguelkj | yes, and some of our dlls are arch specific | 05:05 |
ajmitch | duncanm: pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org | 05:05 |
miguelkj | oh well ;-) | 05:06 |
miguelkj | Its not like anyone seriously splits share and lib anyways | 05:06 |
miguelkj | Nowadays nobody has any of those nfs setups | 05:06 |
jdub | lamont: yeah, agree | 05:06 |
jdub | lamont: perhaps we should just sync that, and see if 1.1.4 happens | 05:06 |
lamont | jdub: anyway, I await y'all's decision on it... | 05:06 |
miguelkj | Also, at least for Mono assemblies, you should use $prefix/lib/mono, not $prefix/lib/dotnet | 05:07 |
tseng | 1.0.5 isnt in sid yet.. still on alioth | 05:07 |
miguelkj | To begin with, we are not dotnet ;-) | 05:07 |
lamont | if 1.0.5 syncs and someone tells me, I'll bootstrap it on whichever architectures it likes | 05:07 |
jdub | ajmitch: ah, no wonder you keep mentioning pnet. no one else thinks it's relevant. :) | 05:07 |
miguelkj | And to continue, that is also where we place precompiled object (ahead-of-time-compiled code) | 05:07 |
jdub | miguelkj: unfortunately the conventions wiki page is b0rked atm | 05:07 |
miguelkj | Maybe I should speak with the upstream maintainer of Mono | 05:07 |
lamont | tseng: mono won't be in sarge until 1.0.5... | 05:07 |
jdub | would be good to get some comments on it | 05:07 |
miguelkj | (the mono package) | 05:07 |
miguelkj | Sure | 05:08 |
lamont | since it has critical bugs against it... | 05:08 |
tseng | jdub: its in /usr/share/doc/mono-utils | 05:08 |
lamont | s/critical/serious/ | 05:08 |
miguelkj | I wonder who came up with the idea of renaming the directory | 05:08 |
tseng | jdub: er, no | 05:08 |
miguelkj | we worked so hard to eliminate the notion of `dotnet', just to get it slapped right back | 05:08 |
jdub | miguelkj: are you running ubuntu on one of your machines yet? :) | 05:08 |
ajmitch | jdub: I actually heard of one person using it the other day ;) | 05:08 |
miguelkj | Yes, in my other t40 | 05:08 |
miguelkj | we really worked hard on that ecma/non-ecma split | 05:08 |
miguelkj | Our Gtk# is not touching any non-ecma for that reason (which everyone wants to) | 05:09 |
tseng | jdub: miguelkj http://smarterits.com/~brandon/README.Debian.gz | 05:09 |
miguelkj | So puting `dotnet' on the string is just flame material | 05:09 |
tseng | ^ crack | 05:09 |
jdub | miguelkj: ^ pull that file :) | 05:09 |
jdub | tseng: thanks | 05:09 |
tseng | nps | 05:09 |
miguelkj | uh oh | 05:10 |
tseng | if you beat them senseless over it, jdub and I would be two happy dudes | 05:10 |
tseng | patching every mono app to install there is crack | 05:10 |
miguelkj | oh my | 05:11 |
miguelkj | this is horrible | 05:11 |
miguelkj | /usr/bin/cli chooses between mint and mono | 05:11 |
miguelkj | There is no need for an extra wrapper | 05:11 |
miguelkj | Not to mention that the command line args are incompatible | 05:11 |
ajmitch | it should be a symlink | 05:11 |
ajmitch | well, it should have been in the past | 05:11 |
miguelkj | ilx, mono and mint all use different arguments | 05:11 |
ajmitch | lovely | 05:11 |
miguelkj | Patching every mono app sounds like a painful process | 05:12 |
miguelkj | It seems that the document was written by someone who barely knew Mono sadly | 05:12 |
tseng | this was written pre-beta | 05:12 |
miguelkj | Debian people are famous for being hard to convince | 05:13 |
tseng | but its still in play for some reason | 05:13 |
miguelkj | Is it that still the case? | 05:13 |
miguelkj | See, some of the cases discussed there we have taken care of upstream | 05:13 |
ajmitch | there are only 3 or so in the mono packaging group | 05:14 |
ajmitch | it shouldn't be too hard to convince them | 05:14 |
miguelkj | Will talk to them | 05:14 |
miguelkj | What are their email addresses? | 05:14 |
tseng | http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-mono-devel is the list | 05:15 |
miguelkj | Thanks Tseng | 05:15 |
miguelkj | Will go watch the daily show now | 05:16 |

tseng | hi blue | 05:23 |
tseng | cross site scripting? | 05:23 |
bluefoxicy | I say it's a bug because . . . it looks like a bug . . . and leads to infoleak or privesc | 05:23 |
bluefoxicy | yeah | 05:23 |
tseng | it depends | 05:23 |
bluefoxicy | but infoleak can lead to privesc o.o | 05:23 |

sivang | morning all | 07:45 |
sivang | hmm, am I too early? ;-) | 07:52 |
zenrox | hep | 07:53 |
zenrox | yep | 07:53 |
sivang | zenrox: heh, hi , 'sup? | 07:54 |
zenrox | not much | 07:54 |
zenrox | just listing to lugradio | 07:55 |
sivang | eh, what's on now? | 07:55 |
zenrox | go get it and listen to it and find out | 07:56 |
sivang | zenrox: do you know the episode which contains the interview with sabdfl? | 08:02 |
infinity | daniels : You're building a PCIe amd64?.. Which motherboard did you get? | 08:02 |
HrdwrBoB | nforce :( | 08:03 |
zenrox | sivang, 2 ep 17 for the conical guy and 2 ep 18 for some other guy invoulved with ubuntu | 08:03 |
infinity | HrdwrBoB : Ick. I was looking at the Abit AX8 when I was shopping, but PCIe video cards were so hard to come by (and priced higher, to boot), that I settled on the AGP version of the same. | 08:04 |
HrdwrBoB | yeah | 08:06 |
HrdwrBoB | now PCIe is easy/cheap (ish) | 08:06 |
infinity | I dunno. | 08:08 |
infinity | PCIe video cards still seem to carry a premium price over their AGP counterparts. | 08:08 |
HrdwrBoB | a 6600GT is the best bang/buck atm and is in PCIe everywhere | 08:08 |
HrdwrBoB | not really | 08:08 |
infinity | I bought a 6800GT. | 08:08 |
HrdwrBoB | the native PCIe stuff is cheaper in some cases | 08:08 |
infinity | The PCIe ones seem scarce. | 08:08 |
infinity | Despite the fact that the entire 6xxx line is native PCIe, with a PCIe->AGP bridge on the AGP cards. | 08:09 |
infinity | Either way, I'm not really concerned. It'll be a long time before I find something that needs that much bandwidth to the card. | 08:09 |
infinity | And when I do, it'll probably be upgrade time again anyway. | 08:09 |
HrdwrBoB | currently (at the price list I'm looking at) a 6600GT PCIe is $20AU cheaper than an AGP | 08:11 |
HrdwrBoB | but eh | 08:11 |
HrdwrBoB | not really a big deal | 08:11 |
sivang | zenrox: this is a live radio? I mean, do they broadcast all the time? | 08:13 |

Mithrandir | agreed. | 10:45 |
=== fabbione would love a fic | ||
fabbione | FIX | 10:45 |
fabbione | i can't type | 10:45 |
elmo | not being funny, but have you tried a newer grub? | 10:46 |
Kamion | I was surprised when you said it was fixed upstream, since there's been no reply to my post on linux-kernel | 10:46 |
Kamion | elmo: it's not grub's fault, I've investigated a fair bit | 10:46 |
Kamion | elmo: you can chroot into the exact same userspace from an old kernel and get no segfault; the reason for the segfault is that the amd64 kernel isn't honouring the exec-stack bit on ia32 binaries, or something along those lines | 10:47 |
Mithrandir | elmo: it's support for the NX bit which makes nested static functions fall over, or something. | 10:47 |
Kamion | right | 10:47 |
Kamion | nested functions need an executable stack trampoline in order to access local variables of the outer function | 10:48 |
Kamion | grub uses those, so unless large bits of it have been totally rewritten not to, a newer version won't help | 10:48 |
elmo | you mean it's not respecting PT_GNU_STACK on ia32 binaries? how are RH, SuSE etc. not seeing this? | 10:49 |
Kamion | exactly, and I have no idea, but Debian people are seeing it too | 10:49 |
Kamion | and I can reproduce it with stock kernels | 10:49 |
Mithrandir | does RH, SuSE ship 2.6.10? | 10:49 |
elmo | do they ship ia32 grub? | 10:50 |
Mithrandir | elmo: this is a recent change -- 2.6.9-bk2 or something. | 10:50 |
Mithrandir | if they want it to fly on amd64, pretty sure. | 10:50 |
elmo | Mithrandir: FC4 at least must (not ship, but use) | 10:50 |

elmo | Kamion: was it you that pointed me to that cleanup patch related to the PT_GNU_STACK handling? | 10:51 |

Kamion | sivang: say I've got a Hebrew .po file mentioning "" (should be "Debian" from context I think); how would I replace that with "Ubuntu"? | 11:15 |
elmo | Kamion: no, if you just revert the whole patch, we'd have working grub and could patch noexec (not noexec32) to be forcibly on | 11:16 |

daniels | or anyone? | 12:10 |

daniels | fi | 12:17 |
Kamion | daniels: of which file? | 12:18 |
daniels | 81-83 should look like that; unfortunately a cat/younger sibling attacked that just before ubuntu12, and vim appears to have turned that into 'sudo di' (instead of fi) | 12:18 |
daniels | Kamion: ah, sorry, dexconf | 12:18 |
Kamion | daniels: looks fine here | 12:18 |
elmo | decko: please disable that public away or whatever it is | 12:19 |

elmo | hmm, what's the sanest/cleanest way to get multiple apaches running on different ports and with different configs with our packages? | 12:23 |
=== Keybuk [~scott@syndicate.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
fabbione | elmo: why multiple apaches? | 12:26 |
fabbione | (just curious.. there is no really a sane way to do it) | 12:26 |
elmo | fabbione: I want to run a subversion webdav apache, and a 'everything-else' apache server | 12:26 |
elmo | 'cos I don't want to chown www-data the subverson repo | 12:26 |
elmo | and am quite happy to tell svn folks to use a different port/ip | 12:27 |
daniels | you allow commits over webdav? | 12:27 |
thom | different config, different init script, and the -f flag | 12:27 |
elmo | mmph, ok | 12:27 |
thom | daniels: why on earth wouldn't you? | 12:27 |
elmo | daniels: err, yes? | 12:27 |
daniels | *boggle* | 12:28 |
thom | fabbione: how is that not sane? | 12:28 |
thom | :-) | 12:28 |
daniels | not even fd.o allows that :P | 12:28 |
thom | dude, no login accounts. heaven | 12:28 |
daniels | true dat | 12:28 |
Kamion | uh ... you shouldn't have to chown www-data the repository with subversion 1.1 and fsfs | 12:28 |
=== eruin [~eruin@eruin.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
daniels | i just dislike the idea of web server compromise -> your source is fucked | 12:28 |
elmo | Kamion: which so isn't in warty :P | 12:28 |
daniels | Kamion: you still will if you need to write to it, no? | 12:28 |
Kamion | oh, well, if you're using webdav you do have to | 12:28 |
Kamion | svnserve is so much saner though | 12:28 |
fabbione | thom: you still need to "replicate" the init script and adapt it to use the -f | 12:29 |
elmo | Kamion: requires logins.. | 12:29 |
HrdwrBoB | elmo: wouldn't you be better off using a different MPM | 12:29 |
fabbione | thom: perhaps we can write a better init to look in /etc/apache/sessions.d or something... | 12:29 |
HrdwrBoB | and running another user with taht | 12:29 |
fabbione | thom: it's not that uncommon to run more than one apache | 12:29 |
HrdwrBoB | for the SVN webdav stuff | 12:29 |
thom | HrdwrBoB: eh? | 12:29 |
fabbione | elmo: make sense | 12:29 |
elmo | plus, this has a requirement to replicate an existing setup which is already using webdav, so it's moot | 12:30 |
Kamion | elmo: could be restricted to svnserve? | 12:30 |
Kamion | bleh, ok | 12:30 |
decko | elmo, Sorry, it's not a public away or whatever... | 12:31 |
elmo | god damn it. first cup of tea -> 30 mins. second cup of tea -> 1 hour. this is a distrubing pattern of how long I keep forgetting about my tea | 12:31 |
daniels | elmo: i think you need a longer attention span | 12:31 |
HrdwrBoB | thom: sorry, still a pipe dream, apache2 has a 'perchild' mpm which in theory allows different users to run different virtualhosts, but it has never been released in any usable form | 12:32 |
thom | HrdwrBoB: it's probably useable for svn, but i wouldn't trust it | 12:32 |
sivang | pitti: sure cool | 12:34 |
HrdwrBoB | I'm just a little bitter, it makes apache look like a toy compared to IIS (which does what perchild would do) | 12:34 |
elmo | I love when people say things like that | 12:37 |
elmo | it may be a toy, but it's a you n (for ridiculously high versions of n) % of the internet's websites run on | 12:37 |
Treenaks | HrdwrBoB: I want threadpool + perchild! | 12:38 |
Treenaks | HrdwrBoB: with working php! | 12:38 |
HrdwrBoB | elmo: I know, this was in a mixed environment in a hosting company. when you have several hundred websites on a machine securing them from each other gets to be pretty important | 12:39 |
Mithrandir | thom: the metux mpm ought to work, don't you think? | 12:39 |
HrdwrBoB | Treenaks: yes, heaven! | 12:39 |
thom | Mithrandir: from what i've seen that lot look insanely incompetent | 12:40 |
thom | Treenaks: threadpool is less performant than worker these days | 12:41 |
thom | and that's basically what perchild is, yes | 12:41 |
Mithrandir | thom: oh? | 12:42 |
HrdwrBoB | http://www.metux.de/mpm/en/?patpage=download <- that says it all for metux | 12:42 |
Treenaks | thom: oh I'm running worker now.. but that's PHPless | 12:42 |
HrdwrBoB | Treenaks: I have used suexec and binfmt with php registered with some success (though obviously it doesn't work for everything) | 12:42 |
elmo | fabbione/thom: an $OPTIONS in the init script would be useful | 12:44 |
elmo | and, umm, what do I do about the invocations of apache2ctl? | 12:45 |
daniels | apache2ctl takes -f as well, IIRC. | 12:45 |

daniels | gleaned from apache2ctl -h | 12:52 |
elmo | apache2ctl command [...] | 12:52 |
elmo | and no mention that a) options are accepted, or b) passed onto apache | 12:52 |
daniels | wow, that manpage is spondonically shit | 12:53 |
rburton | daniels: as bad as the X manpages? | 12:54 |
daniels | hah | 12:54 |
rburton | surely not! | 12:54 |
rburton | i started a list of X manpage crackrot before i gave up with them totally | 12:54 |
rburton | i should file lots of bugs | 12:54 |
daniels | yeah, don't bother | 12:54 |
daniels | well, file lots of bugs if you want | 12:55 |
daniels | but don't bother documenting crackrot | 12:55 |
daniels | 'clusterfuck' is a good summation | 12:55 |
rburton | some of the problems are silly things like typos and missing newlines | 12:55 |
rburton | which just make the man page a nightmare to read | 12:55 |
daniels | the newlines stuff is pretty much imake being absolutely screwed, and we can't do anything about it | 12:55 |
daniels | branden wrote a patch for it, which not only didn't fix the problem, but totally broke utf-8 locales | 12:56 |
daniels | i don't think it's fixable without work enough to be roughly equivalent to the time needed to throw imake away | 12:56 |

daniels | I didn't write it, either. | 01:13 |
infinity | elmo : The last bit is the only thing that needs to go. | 01:13 |
infinity | elmo : Initially, it compares pidof against the pid file, and then tries to kill if they match (which seems sane)... The last bit where it gives up and says "fuck it, just kill em all" is decidedly less safe looknig. | 01:14 |

elmo | infinity: it'd be nice, IMO, no particular urgency | 01:16 |
elmo | I'm never sure about that, daemons exiting with non-zero status are right up there in the "top 5 ways to sideways screw a buildd", but OTOH, it's clearly the right thing todo, esp. if you have a sane-by-default config and it won't error out simply because no apache ever actually started | 01:17 |
infinity | If there's no apache running, but it's properly configured, it won't error out. | 01:18 |
infinity | If there's none running and it's broken, that's where problems come in. | 01:18 |
infinity | I'm undecided on the proper outcome. | 01:18 |
infinity | I could exit 0, but echo a warning... A half compromise. | 01:18 |

fabbione | humpf.. new inotify patch breaks the abi | 01:22 |
elmo | infinity: does to me | 01:23 |

Kamion | can you put the strace/syslog somewhere public? | 01:46 |
pitti | Kamion: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/syslog.gz | 01:47 |
infinity | elmo : apache2ctl doesn't do much more than "apache2 -k $1" anyway, so there's not much harm in just calling the binary directly, if you want -f | 01:48 |
tseng | grr hey can someone help fix my brainfart from last night? | 01:48 |
tseng | i made tomboy build-dep on libpanel and not -dev | 01:49 |
Kamion | pitti: I assume that's with extra debug in udev; I'm not seeing stuff like that here | 01:49 |
pitti | Kamion: right, I compiled a debugging and logging enabled version | 01:49 |
pitti | Kamion: however, I ran that one on smurfix' machine | 01:49 |
pitti | Kamion: I just can't reproduce the bug on my machine | 01:49 |
pitti | Kamion: I tried to up-, down-, sidegrade a dozen of times | 01:49 |
pitti | Kamion: however, I don't think that this is a hal bug | 01:50 |
pitti | I think the hal upgrade (daemon restart) merely triggers some hotplug situation which causes udev to go mad | 01:50 |
sivang | pitti: I am usually reastarting all of my session after a hal upgrade...doesn't work otherwise. | 01:55 |
pitti | sivang: why, usually a hal upgrade should work immediately | 01:56 |
pitti | sivang: g-v-m should automatically restart | 01:56 |
sivang | pitti: never worked for me, the best I could get is killing all nautilus isntances and let them restart. | 01:56 |
pitti | sivang: and with this bug, restarting the session is not enough anyway | 01:56 |
sivang | hmm, I'll upgrade, see the fun myself :) | 01:56 |

mjg59 | Intel will never accept it | 02:09 |
seb128 | Keybuk: yep, correct, that's broken here too. But at least they are in the threads :p (some days ago it was not even regrouping threads correctly) | 02:10 |

infinity | Replacing it completely sounds better. | 06:02 |
elmo | yeah, I'm just whining about the small things as I continue my two-apache server adventure | 06:03 |

infinity | elmo : Feel free to put every whine/bitch in an email to me. | 06:03 |
thom | infinity: it'll use debconf for the front end | 06:03 |
thom | infinity: i'm more interested in doing dependency tracking and so on for hte moment | 06:03 |
infinity | elmo : I may as well polish stuff up as best as can be done for Sarge/Hoary, before we scrap it all and start over. :) | 06:03 |
infinity | thom : Dependency tracking is much needed, yes. We have a few open bugs relating to it. | 06:04 |
thom | yeah | 06:04 |
thom | it mostly works, too | 06:04 |

thom | infinity: for the minute, command line arguments, because it's easier to test ;-) | 06:06 |
infinity | thom : Ahh. How do you envision the final product? | 06:06 |
infinity | thom : info files in /usr/lib/apache2/modules would work. As would comments in .load... | 06:06 |
infinity | I'm undecided as to which is less intuitive for people doing by-hand module installs. | 06:07 |
thom | i'm leaning towards the latter, tbh | 06:07 |
infinity | Works for me. | 06:07 |
thom | it seems more likely that people will think of those (to me anyway) | 06:07 |
infinity | <nod> | 06:07 |
infinity | People are more likely to read other .load files as examples than go digging in /usr/lib | 06:08 |
thom | also, we can document in readme.etc and readme.debian, and hope that people bother reading either | 06:08 |
thom | yeah, that's what i though | 06:08 |

=== tseng points at his tomboy mis-dep =/ | ||
Kamion | you can build source packages pretty much wherever you like; it only matters for testing | 07:59 |

sabdfl | are there any notaries public close by? | 08:24 |
mako | sabdfl: should be at any bank | 08:24 |
mako | and usually your own bank will do it for free | 08:24 |
sabdfl | or CPA | 08:24 |

Kamion | hmph, FAT filesystem autodetection is a nightmare. yay for no sensible magic numbers whatsoever | 08:28 |
mako | sabdfl: ok.. almost all of that go in there although the organization is little bit different | 08:29 |
T-Bone | sabdfl: roughly put, I'm doing my internship in .fr eventually, and I'm hacking ia64 Ubuntu on my spare time. So far we're getting very close to have a fully fonctionnal installer for hoary | 08:29 |
mako | sabdfl: ergh.. almost all of it got in there | 08:29 |
sabdfl | Kamion: you can't search for "this is patented technology.."? | 08:29 |
mako | sabdfl: the major difference is that i dropped committer | 08:29 |
Kamion | haha | 08:29 |
sabdfl | mako: any substantial differences? i would like just one canonical version :-) | 08:29 |
T-Bone | Kamion: i'll get back to you pretty soon btw ;) | 08:29 |
sabdfl | mako: dropped it? | 08:29 |
mako | sabdfl: well, i took it out of the proposed current published version because we don't have the infrastructure to support it yet | 08:30 |
mdz | sabdfl: more like "didn't document it fully because it doesn't actually exist, and the implementation will probably influence the process" | 08:30 |
sabdfl | T-Bone: ok cool, glad to hear you are on it | 08:30 |
sabdfl | ok | 08:30 |
sabdfl | WHUI | 08:30 |
mako | sabdfl: we have maintainers (which are uploaders in your draft) and that's it | 08:31 |
T-Bone | sabdfl: well, the bootloader installation is the last remaining issue, so that's not much indeed ;) | 08:31 |
sabdfl | ok | 08:31 |
mako | sabdfl: i figured adding committers when we could support them would make more sense.. ther's no sense is approving people to be a committer when that's not somethignw e can support | 08:31 |
sabdfl | and until we have a revision control system, committers are meaningless | 08:31 |
sabdfl | ok | 08:31 |
mako | exactly | 08:31 |
sabdfl | 356 people in #ubuntu | 08:31 |
Kamion | as far as I can tell the best you can do is check for 0x55 0xAA at the end of the DOS boot sector, and then go through and audit every bleeding fields | 08:32 |
mako | so it's excised permently, it's still on the main wiki page | 08:32 |
Kamion | s/s$// | 08:32 |
mako | sabdfl: it's still documented in the main wiki page but the Official Document we can keep up to date | 08:32 |
mako | sabdfl: there are a few minor things that are in your draft things like planet, etc.. i can go through and compare if you'd like and try to move things in | 08:33 |
T-Bone | Kamion: would there be some way to link mptscsih's load with mptbase's one in hotplug? ie: "load mptscsih when loading mptbase" ? | 08:34 |
mako | sabdfl: the current draft doesn't quantify a minimum letter of recommendations/letters of endorsement for members but i suspect that the CC would be happy with that change | 08:35 |
sabdfl | mako: let me have a once-over, then yes, please merge in new ideas from that draft | 08:35 |
sabdfl | mako: i think we want to introduce the letters of support once we have grown a bit | 08:35 |
mako | elmo requested we "beef up the importantance of testimonals" | 08:35 |
sabdfl | we need to keep the process lightweight but grow on the basis of known-quantity-quality | 08:36 |
mako | at the moment, it just says that they're extremely helpful | 08:36 |
=== mako nods | ||
sabdfl | once we have a stable core group, we formalise the process a lot more | 08:36 |
sabdfl | i guess mdz wants the doc to reflect *current* policy | 08:36 |
=== mako nods | ||
sabdfl | but it would be useful to have a doc which outlines intended stable-state policy | 08:36 |
mako | ok.. well in your draft, there is a requirement for a signed/faxed letter from ubuntites.. in mine, it says anyone can do it | 08:37 |
sabdfl | elmo: i understand the importance of testimonials, right now we should be fast-tracking folks who we *personally know* are good | 08:37 |
sabdfl | or who have demonstrated real skill | 08:37 |
mdz | I just want to have a step-by-step doc that people can look at and see what they truly need to do, today, to get involved | 08:37 |
sabdfl | once the group is bigger we'll need that more rigorous process | 08:37 |
elmo | sabdfl: no objection to that - I was saying testimonials are going to be an important part of scaling the process up | 08:37 |
mdz | which I think mako's doc does | 08:37 |
elmo | or was trying to say | 08:37 |
sabdfl | elmo: agreed | 08:38 |
tseng | sabdfl: sorry to be a pain, do you have an idea how this is going to work? | 08:39 |
tseng | i go to the notary, present proof of ID, and they will fax you something possibly? | 08:39 |
sabdfl | tseng: take a copy of the code of conduct, and sign it in front of them | 08:40 |
sabdfl | i think they will notarise that signature as coming from you | 08:40 |
=== T-Bone is trying to catchup with backlog to figure out what it's all about, wishes there was a "split window" option to xchat ;) | ||
sabdfl | in addition, include on that paperwork your GPG key id | 08:40 |
sabdfl | have them notarise that specifically | 08:40 |
sabdfl | i'm not sure of the language, draft something up together with your friendly notary | 08:41 |
sabdfl | it needs to contain: | 08:41 |
sabdfl | - the CoC | 08:41 |
sabdfl | - your full name | 08:41 |
sabdfl | - your GPG id | 08:41 |

dholbach | YokoZar: and you don't have any Makefile ? | 08:55 |
YokoZar | dholbach: gives the same error by the way | 08:55 |
tseng | just to be totally clear, sign it just below this, have it notarized, and mail to you | 08:55 |
YokoZar | Nope, the package is just a bunch of scripts | 08:55 |
sabdfl | tseng: yes, as long as the doc includes the things I described, this should be absolutely fine | 08:58 |
YokoZar | I guess I could just try moving everything into install-indep, since it really isn't an arch package. | 08:58 |
tseng | sabdfl: wonderful, ill have it done and will catch up with you about mailing later. thanks for your help | 08:59 |
T-Bone | Kamion: ping? | 09:00 |
YokoZar | dholbach: Still with me? | 09:00 |
sabdfl | mako: it says maintainers must be confirmed by both CC and TB | 09:01 |
sabdfl | this means that a person would have to go: | 09:01 |
sabdfl | - CC for member | 09:01 |
sabdfl | - TB for maintainer | 09:01 |
sabdfl | - CC for maintainer | 09:01 |
sabdfl | which seems silly to me | 09:01 |
mako | sabdfl: i argued against that | 09:01 |
dholbach | YokoZar: yes - lets move to a query | 09:01 |
mako | sabdfl: but elmo felt strongly about it | 09:01 |
sabdfl | i thought the member (cc) and maintainer (tb) approach was simpler | 09:01 |
sabdfl | ok | 09:02 |
mako | sabdfl: that was in the original draft at the beginning of the meeting | 09:02 |
sabdfl | cc - tb - elmo :-) | 09:02 |
mako | sabdfl: if you're unconvinced, you might want to look over taht part of the log | 09:02 |
sabdfl | i understand elmo's reservations | 09:02 |
mako | the basic argument was that (a) elmo doesn't want to a vote for membership to translate into a vote maintainership | 09:03 |
sabdfl | my view is that the tb should not approve a maintainer they are not certain about | 09:03 |
mako | and (b) there aren't enough people on the tb that have day-to-day working in the distribution | 09:03 |
sabdfl | but... they can look to the references / testimonials | 09:03 |
sabdfl | and ask their own questions | 09:03 |
sabdfl | and look at packages | 09:03 |
mako | i'm not really the person you need to convince here | 09:03 |
sabdfl | right | 09:03 |
mako | i'd be happy to relax that | 09:04 |
mako | at the moment, we can clarify that it's for uploaders to main | 09:04 |
mako | the argument in favor is, yes it's silly and annoying but we are talking about the ability to upload any package into ubuntu | 09:05 |
mako | and if there's any place to be silly and annoying its here | 09:05 |
sabdfl | true | 09:06 |
sabdfl | it works ok if we have the tb and cc both at a meeting | 09:07 |
sabdfl | and it can all be done right there | 09:07 |
mako | i suspect in most cases, taht will happen | 09:07 |
sabdfl | i guess it would work ok if we had a launchpad process that made this less irc-awkward too | 09:07 |
mako | at least with our current schedule | 09:08 |
mako | the chance of kamion, elmo and myself being on during a mid-day tb meeting on tuesday is extremely high | 09:08 |
mako | and matt, who is really the only tb member who is in an awkward timezone, has been super about making the cc meetings | 09:09 |
sabdfl | nonetheless, it seems awkward to me | 09:15 |
=== mxpxpod [~bryan@12-217-213-174.client.mchsi.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
sabdfl | if we need to grow the tb, we should do so, so they can handle the decision w.r.t. maintainers | 09:15 |
sabdfl | they are of course welcome to ask people their opinions | 09:16 |
sabdfl | so i imagine they would ask elmo et al whether they are confident in the candidate | 09:16 |
sabdfl | cc - tb - cc seems too bureaucratic to me | 09:16 |
sabdfl | i'll raise this again at the next cc meeting | 09:17 |
sabdfl | mako: done, go ahead | 09:17 |
sabdfl | would you not like to restructure that document? | 09:17 |
sabdfl | perhaps pull out the process docs as separate pages? | 09:18 |
mako | sabdfl: sounds fine | 09:18 |
mako | sabdfl: that's how it used to be | 09:18 |
mako | sabdfl: mdz suggested it be on in one page | 09:18 |
sabdfl | anyhow, in substance i'm happy, with the expressed reservation about the return-to-cc process | 09:18 |
mako | sabdfl: we can bring it up again | 09:18 |
sabdfl | if you could add some of the nice stuff about planet etc in, as FUTURE sections, so people know where we are headed, that would be great | 09:19 |
mako | sabdfl: and appointing a bonus TB people or two may be a solution that makes elmo happy | 09:19 |
sabdfl | then please point cprov and salgado at the updated doc | 09:19 |
mako | sabdfl: one up on the wiki hierarchy is where that should go i suspect | 09:19 |
mako | let me look over the diff | 09:19 |
mako | sabdfl: looks great | 09:21 |

mako | i also need to send a message to the -users list irt to the reply-to | 09:25 |
mako | sabdfl: did you want to add anything about that? | 09:25 |
mako | sabdfl: you seemed to be inching toward suggesting that we should bounty reply-to for thunderbird | 09:25 |
sabdfl | mako: yes | 09:26 |
mako | which is the client we ship that is missing this | 09:26 |
mako | i think in any case, this is a good idea | 09:26 |
sabdfl | other than that, i think it's worth stating why we have the current approach | 09:26 |
mako | but matt argued that it (a) doesn't solve the current problem and (b) was skeptical it would really solve the problem with user | 09:26 |
mako | so the decision was to flip the switch for reply-to.. since the negative impact would be pretty minimal (looking at the number of people who use a real reply-to on users now) | 09:27 |

sabdfl | did that get serious consideration? | 09:33 |
mako | sabdfl: that is what won | 09:33 |
mako | sabdfl: the trial starts today :) | 09:33 |
sabdfl | cool | 09:34 |
mako | i guess i didn't make the conclusion very explicit | 09:34 |
sabdfl | thanks for handling that | 09:34 |
mako | i'm gonna fix that summary | 09:34 |
mako | i also spelled jointly with a g | 09:34 |
sabdfl | Kamion: just reading the cc meeting summary, are you concerned that the tone or quality of -users or any other forum is deteriorating? | 09:35 |
mako | sabdfl: that thread got *nasty* | 09:37 |
mako | we want to avoid saying, "compare the admins to slavemasters and get what you want" | 09:38 |
crimsun | mako: have you received my signed CoC yet? (I sent it Tue, 25 Jan 2005 10:13:04 -0800) | 09:41 |
mako | crimsun: usually i reply when i recieve/check them.. let me look | 09:41 |
ogra | mako: you didnt reply mine.... | 09:42 |
YokoZar | Ok when my package runs debian/rules binary and it gets to any of the debhelper commands it bugs out with "I have no package to build" - is this me missing some obvious declaration somewhere? | 09:42 |
mako | well, i replied to tseng on irc today instead of email.. | 09:42 |
mako | ogra: but maybe not as usually as i thought ;) | 09:42 |
ogra | mako: heh, doesnt really matter.... i'm not a friend of buerocracy ;) | 09:43 |
mako | does that make me a buerocrat? | 09:44 |
ogra | lol | 09:44 |
mako | an ubuntocrat | 09:44 |
ogra | rather ... yes | 09:44 |
mako | crimsun: looks good and you're 4 hops away from me :) | 09:48 |
crimsun | mako: excellent, thanks muchly | 09:48 |
dholbach | mako: i think we just have one hop in between :-) | 09:48 |
mako | dholbach: mvo, yes | 09:51 |
YokoZar | What generates debian/files ? | 09:53 |

YokoZar | debian/files should not exist? | 09:57 |
dholbach | YokoZar: "...it is used while building packages to record which files are being generated..." | 09:59 |
dholbach | YokoZar: so if your package doesn't build, it's still lying there | 09:59 |

dholbach | YokoZar: ogra is quite right to point you towards dh_make - it serves as a perfect start for a nice, clean package | 10:00 |

Kamion | T-Bone: sorry, my clue is starting to run out when you get to modules auto-loading each other; you need a real kernel/hotplug expert | 10:20 |
T-Bone | Kamion: ok. Cause i've been talking to James Bottomley and Matthew Wilcox, they both agree that making mptscsih hotplug-friendly is everything but a trivial task | 10:21 |
maswan | mdz: thanks for being nice, even when I'm slightly frustrated after having butted my head against silly mistakes I made while recompiling a slightly patched kernel. :) | 10:21 |
Kamion | sabdfl: -users hasn't got as bad as debian-user, but I certainly can't deal with reading every thread on it any more; I strongly believe that we need the flexibility to be able to ban people who are being abusive or end discussions that have got out of hand | 10:21 |
Kamion | there aren't many discussions that got that far, but the reply-to flamewar did | 10:21 |
Kamion | T-Bone: ok, if it's a matter of special-casing it in hw-detect then we can do that in principle, but it *sucks* *really* *badly*; the only way to make the installed system guaranteeably behave the same way is to stick it in /etc/modules, and then you have drive ordering problems etc. | 10:22 |
Kamion | I'd almost advocate special-casing it in hotplug itself over that, but that probably sucks worse for other reasons :) | 10:23 |
Kamion | T-Bone: if there isn't a bug open, could you file one and cc mdz? I'd like his input | 10:23 |
T-Bone | Kamion: well, you _have_ to stick it in /etc/modules if you don't load it from initrd anyway | 10:23 |
Kamion | only if /usr's on the MPT disk and / isn't, or something | 10:25 |
Kamion | (assuming a hotplug-friendly mptscsih) | 10:25 |
T-Bone | Kamion: no you don't get it | 10:25 |
T-Bone | yeah but it seems mostly out of question right now | 10:25 |
T-Bone | the idea is that on MPT boxes, there is no (usually) other disks than those hooked to the Fusion bus | 10:26 |
Kamion | ok, well I want mdz's input before adding special cases really, but provisionally I don't mind hacking it in hw-detect | 10:26 |
T-Bone | Kamion: you'd have to ask jbailey i suppose, but it seems that Debian preloads MPT on the initrd, afaict | 10:28 |
Kamion | that's probably initrd-tools | 10:29 |
Kamion | which has sod-all to do with what the installer detects | 10:29 |
T-Bone | yup | 10:30 |
