sabdflwhoot! how much is now pre-reboot?12:05
sabdflKamion, mdz: ^?12:06
mdzsabdfl: everything12:06
mdzwell, all the questions12:07
sabdflfantastic12:07
sabdfli think that's a big win and worth the effort12:07
sabdflthanks guys12:07
mdzsabdfl: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hoary-changes/2005-January/002077.html12:07
sabdflthat will have a big impact on perceived install time, i think12:08
mdzwe still have the possibility of one question being asked by xserver-xorg if it can't probe the monitor12:09
sabdflthat's fair enough12:09
mdzthough it should be possible to move that, too, if we want to12:09
sabdfldoes live-cd ask the same questions, if it has to?12:09
mdzyes, if it has to12:09
mdzso the infrastructure is already there for the installer to do it pre-reboot as well12:10
mdzthough it would require some X packaging work to get it set up that way12:10
mdzand unpacking the X server before reboot12:10
sabdfli'm happy to keep the x questions post-reboot if needed12:11
sabdflbecause i think the live cd / install interaction is now such that we will get lots more feedback on the x guess-o-magic12:11
sabdfland quickly get those routines near perfect12:11
mdzwe've been getting lots of good feedback of that type12:11
sabdflsuper12:12
mdzover 2000 live CD downloads from bittorrent alone12:12
mdzpowerpc especially got a lot of attention12:13

pittistub: care to stay a little longer now? :-)12:59
sjoerdogra: dmi data should be very interesting.. nice12:59
stub:-P12:59
pittistub: FYI, I currently work on PostgreSQL 8.0 packages12:59
pittistub: do you guys want 8.0 in the near future?12:59
stubpitti: Will these be in base, Multiverse or Universe for Hoary?12:59
pittistub: I'm not sure whether they will be in hoary at all01:00
pittistub: I hope to upload them to experimental soon01:00
pittistub: but it's still a lot of work01:00
pittistub: since I do a completely new architecture01:00
pittistub: If you guys need/want it, I can probably accelerate the pace a bit and put it into universe at least01:01
stubpitti: 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 5.1001:01
elmostub: the options are supported or universe, not base or multiverse01:01
stubSo no need to go fast on our account. Mark and me will probably want to play though when it is available :-)01:01
pittistub: okay. By the Bendy release it should be well and up :-)01:02
pittistub: for playing with it, experimental packages should be enough, right?01:02
stubpitti: As long as someone tells me what repository to add, I'm fine.01:03

stubpitti: Provided it coexists with 7.4.x - that might be an issue?01:04
pittistub: for Sarge+1 I thought about providing an upgrade path to the multi-version architecture01:04
pittistub: i. e. a mostly empty postgresql package which depends on postgresql7.401:05
pittistub: however, without the dummy package, both versions should coexist quite happily01:05
stubpitti: So you have them listening on different ports?01:05
pittistub: since I now manage arbitrarily many clusters/versions in parallel, I do that anyway :-)01:06
stubpitti: cool :-)01:06
pittistub: if you want to play with it and comment on it, feel free to check out the arch head01:07

mdzjdub: what was the outcome of your gnome-bt look-see yesterday?02:30
jbahi 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
mdzjba: that's right02:31
jbacool, I don't suppose there is a whole wiki section devoted to laptop items ? or even a laptop blog?02:31
mdzjba: mjg59 heads the laptop team02:31
mdzthere are a number of laptop-related pages in the wiki02:31
mjg59jba: Not currently, but it's a good idea02:31
mdzbut I don't think there's a central overview02:32
jbayeah but they seem disparate, and some seem contradictory02:32
mdzyeah, there ought to be02:32
mdzjba: this is symptomatic of wikis ;-)02:32
jbayeah i know, I got excited when i saw there was a laptop team02:32
mdzif you have the gumption, feel free to straighten out any wrongness in the wiki, and organize things better02:33
jbathought it mean that you guys where already mega organised, but obviously, in that respect, you guys are getting there.02:33
jbabesides it's probably better to devote resources to hacking right now02:33
mdzwe coordinate here, on the ubuntu-devel mailing list, in the wiki, and in bugzilla02:33
jbamdz,  the main thing confsing me now is the thing about custom dsdt files being in 2.6.9 kernel, but apparently not in 1.6.1002:33
jbai mean 2.6.1002:34
jbaand I can't seem to find a reason for this02:34
mjg59jba: 2.6.10 has support for dsdt files in the initrd02:34
mdzUbuntu 2.6.10 does, but not upstream, right?02:34
mjg59Correct02:34
jbait does? some people in the mailing list claim it doesn't02:34
jbamjg59, cool thanks dude02:34
mdzmaybe they are not using Ubuntu kernels02:34
mjg59jba: On ubuntu-users?02:35
jbamjg59, i think so, to be honest i googled it yesterday and can't recall02:35
jbabut if it's there, then good02:35
jbathat 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
mjg59jba: Correct02:36
mjg59We'll have support in initrd-tools to do this automatically before release02:36
jbacool, really wasn't looking forward to compiling a kernel though02:36
jbamjg59, when is "before the release" ?02:36
jbaroughly02:36
mjg59jba: When either mdz or I write it :)02:36
mjg59It won't take long, but I'm a bit busy with real-life stuff at the moment02:37
jbahehe, I didn't mean it like that dude, just trying to get a feel for when02:37
mdzmjg59: actually, jbailey is the ideal person to do that now02:37
mjg59mdz: Oh, good point02:37
mjg59I'll hassle him about it02:37
jbamjg59, i can imagine dude.02:37
mdzmjg59: isn't there a bug open already?02:37
mdzah, I already gave it to him02:37
jbaas i understand it, the automatic initrd image adding only happens at ubuntu kernel installation time?02:37
mdzmdz: good thinking02:37
jbajdub, by the way dude, did you get that link i was talking about yesterday (the nautilus share extension)?02:38
mjg59jba: Yes, or whenever someone runs mkinitrd02:38
jbacool02:38
robertjis hoary still accepting new packages?02:38
jbadid you guys want me to write up my experiences with adding a custom dsdt with 2.6.10 kernels ?02:39
jbaor has someone already done that?02:39
mdzrobertj: in universe, yes02:40
mjg59jba: If you could write a wiki page on custom DSDTs, that would be great02:40
jbabtw props on includding pptp client 1.5.0 in this ubuntu version02:40
jbamjg59, i'll give it a shot, but I'm not registered on the wiki yet02:41
robertjmdz: will wesnoth get updated auotomatically from sid?02:41
mdzrobertj: no, only if requested02:41
jbaoh 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
robertjis there a form anywhere ;)02:41
mjg59jba: Only takes a minute :)02:42
mdzdaniels: rock, your new xorg fixes the gl crash on my laptop. good work02:42
jbamjg59, to write it up yes, to do it and get it working, well that takes a while for me02:42
jbai'm using a dell lattitude x30002:42
mdzrobertj: no, that particular process is lacking in documentation02:42
robertjmdz: mail the devel list?02:42
mjg59jba: jdub has identical hardware02:42
mdzrobertj: basically, we need to know the source package name, the version you want, and why02:43
jbamjg59, no shit ?02:43
mdzrobertj: to ubuntu-devel, yes02:43
mjg59And working suspend/resume now that he's fixed his dsdt02:43
robertjoky02:43
mdzrobertj: for main, the 'why' should generally be to fix bugs, but we're a bit more flexible with universe02:43
jbamjg59, i don't care about suspend/resume, I'm more interest in knowing when to plug power in02:43
mjg59Haha02:44
mjg59Yeah, that works too02:44
jbajdub, do you mind if we exchange war wounds with the x300 and ubuntu ?02:44
jbamjg59, serious though, that's all I really want from dsdt02:44
jbamy machine has turned off on me in the middle of a crucial mono hack 3 times already cause i forget the power02:44
jbanow i just don't cycle the battery, use power all the time02:44
jbai might try jdub's blog for more info, but I don't remember seeing anything about it in planet.gnome.org02:46
robertjmdz: coming at ya02:48
robertjerr if evolution is happy ;)02:48
jbadoes jdub work for canonical or just volunteer?02:48
Mithrandirjba: he's a canonical employee.02:49
Mithrandirjba: he's the release manager. :)02:49
jbawow cool02:49
jbahe is in the .au too isn't he?02:50
tsengyeah, he sleeps all day while i am awake02:50
tsengpretty wild, eh?02:50
jbathat must mean he has working wifi and alsa sound on his machine too02:50
Mithrandirjba: not sure, he has a dell. ;)02:50
Mithrandirunlike the rest of us, who have nice and groovy x40s.02:51
=== tseng has a dell, it works
tsengjba: do you have the irq conflict issue?02:51
jbaMithrandir, that was my point, we have the same machine02:51
jbatseng, used to work, before i updated on sunday02:51
jbaused to work, but always boot with volume at 002:51
jbanow doesm't work at all02:51
tsengagain, irq conflict?02:51
jbatseng, let me check that02:52
tsengread dmesg02:52
robertjis the nvdriver s3 problem a known issue?02:52
tsengpossible around where ipw2x00 is loaded02:52
sladenmjg59: 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's02:52
jbafaq need to find a power cable02:52
mjg59sladen: Did that get included?02:53
jbatseng, one second booting haory now02:53
mjg59It probably doesn't add the correct magic to demarcate the initrd, though02:53
sladenmjg59: so might be able to do   initrd={real initrd},  initrd={DSDT HEADER},  initrd={replacement dsdt}02:53
jbatseng, which dell do you ahve?02:53
tsengjba: 600m02:53
jbaaah02:53
mjg59Ah, I see what you mean02:53
mjg59That would be kind of neat02:53
jbatseng, what's something to grep dmesg with quickly?02:54
tsengjba: ipw .. if you have an intel wifi card02:55
tsengthe driver complains if it cant get the irq02:55
sladenpoor update-grub would probably choke02:55
mjg59update-grub can be dealt with02:56

jbatseng, this would be facilitate a little more by knowing what I'm looking for03:00
=== tseng has little problem skimming dmesg, but i guess its an aquired taste
jbahehe] 03:01
tsengill give you the bug # your issue is similar to03:01
robertjsladen: something giving you more trouble than expected?03:01
sladenrobertj: hopefully more than the 15minutes-before-the-31st-January-deadline I allowed for the Tax return this evening03:01
jbathat would be most helpful thanks03:01
sladenrobertj: 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
tsengjba: have a look at https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=125403:03
robertjsladen: they buy a new monitor?03:03
robertj(very rarely)03:03
tsengjba: it sounds related based on the very limited info youve given so far. (sound + wifi no worky)03:03
sladenrobertj: X falls back to a text-console to allow you to fix things if it fails;  ...but now you've just made their bootloader unuseable03:03
sladenanyone know 'Dave Cinege' ?03:04
jbatseng, thanks for your help dude, I'll take anything I can get, since I didn't even come in here for that :)03:04
robertjsladen: so the rub is you force the fb from the start things can be unusable03:04
sladenrobertj: I ignore the problem presently, since it is a big headache03:06
sladenrobertj: hence hacking up a semi-equivalent text-based version of the graphics so that it can at least display /something/03:07

tsenggl jba03:19
jbajdub, if you ever get a chance, I'd love to have a chat with you about how you have your x300 set up03:20
robertjsladen: so is usplash86 going to differ from usplash for the otherarchs?03:21
sladenrobertj: 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 capable03:25
sladenmdz: the first of many this week I suspect :)03:25
sladenrobertj: 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
robertjsladen: do mac's not have that problem if you don't use video=ofonly?03:28
sladenrobertj: usplash just wants a framebuffer;  doesn't really care how it got there03:30
Riddellis the wiki broken?  I can't log in03:31
robertjwas just curious ;)03:31
robertjis the usplash artwork finalized?03:34
sladenrobertj: 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 that03:37
tritiumsladen, so I take it you didn't care for my grub splash image that I emailed you?03:39
sladentritium: grub splash is a different thing.03:39
tritiumsladen, I realize that03:39
tritiumyou has asked me to submit the image to you, though03:40
wasabiheh: available updates: test03:40
sladentritium: 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 collection03:40
tritiumI joined too late to see that.03:41
wasabiHow's apple do it?03:41
tritiumokay, glad to hear it.  I just wasn't sure, since I hadn't heard back from you.03:41
sladentritium: it's here in fact: http://www.paul.sladen.org/ubuntu/usplash/ideas/tritium/ubuntu-splash-5-colour.xpm03:42
tritium:)03:42
tritiumthanks, sladen03:42
sladenwasabi: 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 screen03:43
wasabiahh.03:43
wasabiwhat about MS?03:43
wasabithey just do low res don't they though03:43
robertjwasabi: they changed at some point03:43
robertjlike sp1 maybe03:44
robertjnow on some machines its centered in the middle of the display03:44
tritiumsladen, zenwhen's idea is similar to my second idea (rotating ubuntu logo)03:44
sladenI think it may even be the 640x400x16 mode until they can probe anything more03:44
wasabiheh.03:45
robertjI really like the idea of the rotating ubuntu log03:45
tritiumcool!03:45
wasabiyeah that sounds slick.03:45
robertjsladen: I've noticed recently that some fix the resolution properly from the start (usually 1024x768)03:46
tritiumI'm glad you agree :)03:46
robertjMy machine doesn't do it but the ones I have installed from at the Office that are standard Dimensions + Ultrascan Flat panels do03:46
tritiumsometimes there's something to be said for simplicity03:46
wasabiI've been thinking about this update-manager thing.03:46
robertjtritium: like the Apple?03:47
wasabiI love the way it looks... but I wonder if showing stuff like "debconf" as an updateable is worth showing users.03:47
tritiumrobertj, I meant the rotating ubuntu logo is simple, yet appealing03:48
robertjyeah03:48
wasabiWonder 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
sladenrobertj: interesting.  Some 'what' fix the resolution?03:48
wasabiand then "PostgreSQL Database Server" for postgres, and all it's component packages, etc etc.03:48

robertjsladen: bios, blackscreen, then the moving blue bar03:50

sladenhmm03:51
robertjbut it still does the flicker when you laod into the GUI03:51
mdzwasabi: there is certainly more that could be done to simplify the interface03:52
robertjsladen: is it possible to get the monitor's serial number without too much fuss?03:53
wasabiI'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
mdzwasabi: but given that the only real option was previously synaptic, it's come a long way already :-)03:53
robertjmaybe it just stores the default res in the bootloader03:53
wasabiyeah, it's amazing.03:53
wasabiI'll give you that. I think it's a great app.03:53
wasabiI use it instead of synaptic now heh03:53
mdzwe had discussed one way to group things03:53
mdzalong the same lines as gnome-app-install03:53
wasabidesktop files?03:53
mdzapplications would be represented as first-class things, and other packages as "system software" etc.03:54

robertjsladen: ok, simple theory to explain the correct proportions on the new monitors04:00
robertjthe new monitors are all digital flat panels so it probably just automatically sized down the stuff to keep it from looking horrible04:01
mdztritium: what sort of tests are involved? anything meaningful?04:01
robertjand windows is probably none the wizer04:01
robertjsladen: more reaosnable sounding?04:02
tritiummdz, they're pretty simple, actually.  Discretionary access controls and auditing, basically.04:02
robertjsladen: and the initial bootsplash is 320x40004:02
tritiummdz, the test plan was written in 1999, and is going to be revised soon.  I assume it'll get more rigorous.04:03

jbai think mine has a broadcom in it04:07

ajmitchduncanm: pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org05:05
miguelkjoh well ;-)05:06
miguelkjIts not like anyone seriously splits share and lib anyways05:06
miguelkjNowadays nobody has any of those nfs setups05:06
jdublamont: yeah, agree05:06
jdublamont: perhaps we should just sync that, and see if 1.1.4 happens05:06
lamontjdub: anyway, I await y'all's decision on it...05:06
miguelkjAlso, at least for Mono assemblies, you should use $prefix/lib/mono, not $prefix/lib/dotnet05:07
tseng1.0.5 isnt in sid yet.. still on alioth05:07
miguelkjTo begin with, we are not dotnet ;-)05:07
lamontif 1.0.5 syncs and someone tells me, I'll bootstrap it on whichever architectures it likes05:07
jdubajmitch: ah, no wonder you keep mentioning pnet. no one else thinks it's relevant. :)05:07
miguelkjAnd to continue, that is also where we place precompiled object (ahead-of-time-compiled code)05:07
jdubmiguelkj: unfortunately the conventions wiki page is b0rked atm05:07
miguelkjMaybe I should speak with the upstream maintainer of Mono05:07
lamonttseng: mono won't be in sarge until 1.0.5...05:07
jdubwould be good to get some comments on it05:07
miguelkj(the mono package)05:07
miguelkjSure05:08
lamontsince it has critical bugs against it...05:08
tsengjdub: its in /usr/share/doc/mono-utils05:08
lamonts/critical/serious/05:08
miguelkjI wonder who came up with the idea of renaming the directory05:08
tsengjdub: er, no05:08
miguelkjwe worked so hard to eliminate the notion of `dotnet', just to get it slapped right back 05:08
jdubmiguelkj: are you running ubuntu on one of your machines yet? :)05:08
ajmitchjdub: I actually heard of one person using it the other day ;)05:08
miguelkjYes, in my other t4005:08
miguelkjwe really worked hard on that ecma/non-ecma split05:08
miguelkjOur Gtk# is not touching any non-ecma for that reason (which everyone wants to)05:09
tsengjdub: miguelkj http://smarterits.com/~brandon/README.Debian.gz05:09
miguelkjSo puting `dotnet' on the string is just flame material05:09
tseng^ crack05:09
jdubmiguelkj: ^ pull that file :)05:09
jdubtseng: thanks05:09
tsengnps05:09
miguelkjuh oh05:10
tsengif you beat them senseless over it, jdub and I would be two happy dudes05:10
tsengpatching every mono app to install there is crack05:10
miguelkjoh my05:11
miguelkjthis is horrible05:11
miguelkj /usr/bin/cli  chooses between mint and mono05:11
miguelkjThere is no need for an extra wrapper05:11
miguelkjNot to mention that the command line args are incompatible05:11
ajmitchit should be a symlink05:11
ajmitchwell, it should have been in the past05:11
miguelkjilx, mono and mint all use different arguments05:11
ajmitchlovely05:11
miguelkjPatching every mono app sounds like a painful process05:12
miguelkjIt seems that the document was written by someone who barely knew Mono sadly05:12
tsengthis was written pre-beta05:12
miguelkjDebian people are famous for being hard to convince05:13
tsengbut its still in play for some reason05:13
miguelkjIs it that still the case?05:13
miguelkjSee, some of the cases discussed there we have taken care of upstream05:13
ajmitchthere are only 3 or so in the mono packaging group05:14
ajmitchit shouldn't be too hard to convince them05:14
miguelkjWill talk to them05:14
miguelkjWhat are their email addresses?05:14
tsenghttp://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-mono-devel is the list05:15

sivangzenrox: do you know the episode which contains the interview with sabdfl?08:02
infinitydaniels : You're building a PCIe amd64?.. Which motherboard did you get?08:02
HrdwrBoBnforce :(08:03
zenroxsivang, 2 ep 17 for the conical guy and 2 ep 18 for some other guy  invoulved with ubuntu08:03
infinityHrdwrBoB : 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
HrdwrBoByeah08:06
HrdwrBoBnow PCIe is easy/cheap (ish)08:06
infinityI dunno.08:08
infinityPCIe video cards still seem to carry a premium price over their AGP counterparts.08:08
HrdwrBoBa 6600GT is the best bang/buck atm and is in PCIe everywhere08:08
HrdwrBoBnot really08:08
infinityI bought a 6800GT.08:08
HrdwrBoBthe native PCIe stuff is cheaper in some cases08:08
infinityThe PCIe ones seem scarce.08:08
infinityDespite the fact that the entire 6xxx line is native PCIe, with a PCIe->AGP bridge on the AGP cards.08:09
infinityEither 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
infinityAnd when I do, it'll probably be upgrade time again anyway.08:09
HrdwrBoBcurrently (at the price list I'm looking at) a 6600GT PCIe is $20AU cheaper than an AGP08:11
HrdwrBoBbut eh08:11

fabbioneFIX10:45
fabbionei can't type10:45
elmonot being funny, but have you tried a newer grub?10:46
KamionI was surprised when you said it was fixed upstream, since there's been no reply to my post on linux-kernel10:46
Kamionelmo: it's not grub's fault, I've investigated a fair bit10:46
Kamionelmo: 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 lines10:47
Mithrandirelmo: it's support for the NX bit which makes nested static functions fall over, or something.10:47
Kamionright10:47
Kamionnested functions need an executable stack trampoline in order to access local variables of the outer function10:48
Kamiongrub uses those, so unless large bits of it have been totally rewritten not to, a newer version won't help10:48
elmoyou mean it's not respecting PT_GNU_STACK on ia32 binaries?  how are RH, SuSE etc. not seeing this?10:49
Kamionexactly, and I have no idea, but Debian people are seeing it too10:49
Kamionand I can reproduce it with stock kernels10:49
Mithrandirdoes RH, SuSE ship 2.6.10?10:49

pittiKamion: right, I compiled a debugging and logging enabled version01:49
pittiKamion: however, I ran that one on smurfix' machine01:49
pittiKamion: I just can't reproduce the bug on my machine01:49
pittiKamion: I tried to up-, down-, sidegrade a dozen of times01:49
pittiKamion: however, I don't think that this is a hal bug01:50
pittiI think the hal upgrade (daemon restart) merely triggers some hotplug situation which causes udev to go mad01:50
sivangpitti: I am usually reastarting all of my session after a hal upgrade...doesn't work otherwise.01:55
pittisivang: why, usually a hal upgrade should work immediately01:56
pittisivang: g-v-m should automatically restart01:56
sivangpitti: never worked for me, the best I could get is killing all nautilus isntances and let them restart.01:56
pittisivang: and with this bug, restarting the session is not enough anyway01:56

fabbionemjg59: hey02:03
mjg59Can you stick up a 2.6.10 dmesg and contents of /var/log/dmesg somewhere?02:03
mjg59It's an ACPI interpreter regression in 2.6.10, which I /thought/ we had fixed but it seems we don't02:04
fabbionemjg59: there was a huge acpi commit in bk recently... anything that you should push me?02:04

jbaileymjg59: Note that dmesg is only full of "Method execution failed" bits.  The boot stuff has fallen out of the ring buffer by now.  I can reboot and capture it, though.02:07
mjg59jbailey: That's /var/log/dmesg02:08
mjg59(pretty much)02:08
jbaileymjg59: In vaguely related news, I've been looking at this patch http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=acpi4linux&m=108973961928358&w=2 for a while, and trying to figure out why it didn't get noticed.  It seems like the obvious right thing to do with early userspace booting.02:08
mjg59Intel will never accept it02:09
seb128Keybuk: 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
Treenaksmjg59: they should accept it, or beat BIOS writers into writing proper DSDTs02:10
mjg59Treenaks: They say they prefer the latter, but don't seem to be doing anything02:10

thommjg59: /var/lock/acpid is the lock file, FYI02:13

makosabdfl: ok.. almost all of that go in there although the organization is little bit different08:29

sabdflKamion: you can't search for "this is patented technology.."?08:29

T-BoneKamion: i'll get back to you pretty soon btw ;)08:29

makoso it's excised permently, it's still on the main wiki page08:32
Kamions/s$//08:32
makosabdfl: it's still documented in the main wiki page but the Official Document we can keep up to date08:32
makosabdfl: 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 in08:33
T-BoneKamion: would there be some way to link mptscsih's load with mptbase's one in hotplug? ie: "load mptscsih when loading mptbase" ?08:34
makosabdfl: 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 change08:35
sabdflmako: let me have a once-over, then yes, please merge in new ideas from that draft08:35
sabdflmako: i think we want to introduce the letters of support once we have grown a bit08:35
makoelmo requested we "beef up the importantance of testimonals"08:35
sabdflwe need to keep the process lightweight but grow on the basis of known-quantity-quality08:36
makoat the moment, it just says that they're extremely helpful08:36
=== mako nods
sabdflonce we have a stable core group, we formalise the process a lot more08:36
sabdfli guess mdz wants the doc to reflect *current* policy08:36
=== mako nods
sabdflbut it would be useful to have a doc which outlines intended stable-state policy08:36
makook.. well in your draft, there is a requirement for a signed/faxed letter from ubuntites.. in mine, it says anyone can do it08:37
sabdflelmo: i understand the importance of testimonials, right now we should be fast-tracking folks who we *personally know* are good08:37
sabdflor who have demonstrated real skill08:37
mdzI 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 involved08:37
sabdflonce the group is bigger we'll need that more rigorous process08:37
elmosabdfl: no objection to that - I was saying testimonials are going to be an important part of scaling the process up08:37

elmoor was trying to say08:37

tsengsabdfl: sorry to be a pain, do you have an idea how this is going to work?08:39
tsengi go to the notary, present proof of ID, and they will fax you something possibly?08:39

YokoZardholbach: Still with me?09:00
sabdflmako: it says maintainers must be confirmed by both CC and TB09:01
sabdflthis means that a person would have to go:09:01
sabdfl - CC for member09:01
sabdfl  - TB for maintainer09:01
sabdfl  - CC for maintainer09:01
sabdflwhich seems silly to me09:01
makosabdfl: i argued against that09:01
dholbachYokoZar: yes - lets move to a query09:01
makosabdfl: but elmo felt strongly about it09:01
sabdfli thought the member (cc) and maintainer (tb) approach was simpler09:01
sabdflok09:02
makosabdfl: that was in the original draft at the beginning of the meeting09:02
sabdflcc - tb - elmo :-)09:02
makosabdfl: if you're unconvinced, you might want to look over taht part of the log09:02
sabdfli understand elmo's reservations09:02
makothe basic argument was that (a) elmo doesn't want to a vote for membership to translate into a vote maintainership09:03
sabdflmy view is that the tb should not approve a maintainer they are not certain about09:03
makoand (b) there aren't enough people on the tb that have day-to-day working in the distribution09:03
sabdflbut... they can look to the references / testimonials09:03
sabdfland ask their own questions09:03
sabdfland look at packages09:03
makoi'm not really the person you need to convince here09:03
sabdflright09:03
makoi'd be happy to relax that09:04
makoat the moment, we can clarify that it's for uploaders to main09:04
makothe argument in favor is, yes it's silly and annoying but we are talking about the ability to upload any package into ubuntu09:05
makoand if there's any place to be silly and annoying its here09:05
sabdfltrue09:06
sabdflit works ok if we have the tb and cc both at a meeting09:07
sabdfland it can all be done right there09:07
makoi suspect in most cases, taht will happen09:07
sabdfli guess it would work ok if we had a launchpad process that made this less irc-awkward too09:07
makoat least with our current schedule09:08
makothe chance of kamion, elmo and myself being on during a mid-day tb meeting on tuesday is extremely high09:08
makoand matt, who is really the only tb member who is in an awkward timezone, has been super about making the cc meetings09:09
sabdflnonetheless, it seems awkward to me09:15
=== mxpxpod [~bryan@12-217-213-174.client.mchsi.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sabdflif we need to grow the tb, we should do so, so they can handle the decision w.r.t. maintainers09:15
sabdflthey are of course welcome to ask people their opinions09:16
sabdflso i imagine they would ask elmo et al whether they are confident in the candidate09:16
sabdflcc - tb - cc seems too bureaucratic to me09:16
sabdfli'll raise this again at the next cc meeting09:17
sabdflmako: done, go ahead09:17
sabdflwould you not like to restructure that document?09:17
sabdflperhaps pull out the process docs as separate pages?09:18
makosabdfl: sounds fine09:18
makosabdfl: that's how it used to be09:18
makosabdfl: mdz suggested it be on in one page09:18
sabdflanyhow, in substance i'm happy, with the expressed reservation about the return-to-cc process09:18
makosabdfl: we can bring it up again09:18
sabdflif 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 great09:19
makosabdfl: and appointing a bonus TB people or two may be a solution that makes elmo happy09:19
sabdflthen please point cprov and salgado at the updated doc09:19

ogramako: you didnt reply mine....09:42
YokoZarOk 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
makowell, i replied to tseng on irc today instead of email..09:42
makoogra: but maybe not as usually as i thought ;)09:42

KamionT-Bone: sorry, my clue is starting to run out when you get to modules auto-loading each other; you need a real kernel/hotplug expert10:20
T-BoneKamion: 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 task10:21
maswanmdz: 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
Kamionsabdfl: -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 hand10:21
Kamionthere aren't many discussions that got that far, but the reply-to flamewar did10:21
KamionT-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
KamionI'd almost advocate special-casing it in hotplug itself over that, but that probably sucks worse for other reasons :)10:23
KamionT-Bone: if there isn't a bug open, could you file one and cc mdz? I'd like his input10:23
T-BoneKamion: well, you _have_ to stick it in /etc/modules if you don't load it from initrd anyway10:23
Kamiononly if /usr's on the MPT disk and / isn't, or something10:25
Kamion(assuming a hotplug-friendly mptscsih)10:25
T-BoneKamion: no you don't get it10:25
T-Boneyeah but it seems mostly out of question right now10:25
T-Bonethe idea is that on MPT boxes, there is no (usually) other disks than those hooked to the Fusion bus10:26
Kamionok, well I want mdz's input before adding special cases really, but provisionally I don't mind hacking it in hw-detect10:26
T-BoneKamion: you'd have to ask jbailey i suppose, but it seems that Debian preloads MPT on the initrd, afaict10:28
Kamionthat's probably initrd-tools10:29
Kamionwhich has sod-all to do with what the installer detects10:29
