thommdz: well, that was a great game12:00
pittibluefoxicy: all other things work for me12:00
mdzthom: for you, perhaps12:00
bluefoxicypitti:  it kills various xscreensavers too (you get a black screen), also I had it kill qemu12:00
pittihmm, obviously I don't use these things :-)12:01
thommdz: you're not a poor misguided arsenal fan? 12:01
pittibluefoxicy: you mean your mail about testing the kernel?12:01
mdzthom: no, I couldn't care either way, but I was surrounded by arsenal fans :-)12:01
bluefoxicypitti:  does pitti  yeah12:01
thomheh!12:01
mdzpouting and crying12:01
bluefoxicypitti: yeah12:01
thomas it happens, so was i. very funny12:01
bluefoxicypitti:  does /usr/lib/xscreensaver/bouncingcow work for you?12:01
pittibluefoxicy: yes, pretty well12:02
bluefoxicyhmm.  ok.12:02
=== bluefoxicy has mesa gl, not accelerated.
=== pitti uses standard nv driver (not accelerated as well)
thommdz: they have arsenal fans in LA?12:03
pittibluefoxicy: thanks for the testing, btw12:03
bluefoxicypitti:  Also, have you tried libsafe?  I just added /lib/libsafe.so.2 to /etc/ld.so.preload and rebooted, cat says it's got libsafe linked it.12:03
mdzthom: yes, we have real live English people too12:03
pittibluefoxicy: however, we can't put patched binutils in hoary right now12:03
pittibluefoxicy: never heard about libsafe12:03
bluefoxicypitti:  libsafe prevents overflows from happening if they leave the current stack frame; this will stop large overflows, and should make many overflow periods too small to insert shellcode or stack frame pointers for ret2libc attacks12:04
thommdz: i hadn't realised getting rid of arsenal fans was a growth industry. good to know, anyway12:04
bluefoxicypitti:  problem is that it (i think) still lets enough overflow happen to tank the SFP and return pointer, meaning exploits that SSP will stop can still happen if they load their shellcode on the heap (i.e. in a PNG image exploiting the PNG overflows, etc)12:05
bluefoxicypitti:  libsafe is in universe12:05
bluefoxicyjust apt-get it and add /lib/libsafe.so.2 to /etc/ld.so.preload, then try `cat /proc/self/maps | grep libsafe` to see if it's there12:06
=== bluefoxicy is using it now in combination with ProPolice; ProPolice protects data inside the current stackframe, libsafe protects data outside the current stackframe. :)

ograpitti: any news about the hal/udev bug ?12:15
pittino, sorry12:15
ograi tried out stopping only hal manually before the install/upgrade of the package... didnt help, the funny thing is, if i do it right after boot on a console (without being logged in to gdm, but gdm running) it doesnt occur12:18
ograpitti ^^12:18
pittiogra: right, I already tried that too (on smurfix' machine)12:19

=== infinity hints.
stackpopperinfinity, So the ppc64 hoary release is just an online myth?04:30
infinityWell, hoary will run on ppc64 machines, but with a 32-bit userland.04:30
infinitySo, it's a half-myth?04:30
stackpoppernoted.04:31
infinity(where is this myth perpetuated?)04:31
stackpopperI can't remember04:31
stackpopperprobably irc04:31
stackpopperDo any of you live in Scotland?04:31
infinityMany live close enough...04:31
infinityWell, closer than I.04:31
stackpopperHow long would it take to port?04:31
stackpopperAt a guess\04:31
infinityDepends on if I have any weird compilation issues, iff gcc's ppc64 backend is up to snuff, and how fast my buildd is.04:32
mdzIRC never lies04:32
infinityAssuming best case for all three, a matter of weeks.04:32
infinityAssuming worst case, a couple months?04:32
stackpopperThat isn't too bad04:33
mdzyeah, it's mostly a matter of ppc64 hardware being comparatively rare04:33
mdzif you have a ppc64 system and would like to help with the port...*hint*04:33
infinityI keep trying to get my hands ona G5, but my bank account keeps saying "no".04:33
stackpopperWell, if the timing was right04:33
mdzG5s want 32-bit userland anyway04:33
stackpopperI can probably *help* somewhat04:34
infinityI was under the impression you could run them pure64 just fine.04:34
mdzyou can, but you get better performance from 64/3204:34
infinityOr, did you mean that "G5 users should want 32 bit userlands"?04:34
infinityWhich is likely true.04:34
stackpopperWhy?04:35
infinityYeah.  The 64 bit userland has no real gain on G5s, but a G5 would be fine for the porting effort.04:35
infinity64-bit userland == bloated memory and register consumption.04:35
infinityIf you don't need it, you don't want it.04:35
stackpoppernoted.04:35
infinitySame reason people rarely complain that UltraSparcs use a 32-bit userland.04:35
infinity(Though they sometimes do)04:35
stackpopper:P04:35
mdzinfinity: "want" rather than "need"04:36
mdzpower5, though, is supposedly a different story04:36
stackpopperinteresting04:36
infinityLess register-starved, probably.04:36
mdzthough those are even harder to come by04:36
stackpopperI assume those babies will end up in the next wave of mac's04:36
infinityBut, any porting effort done on a G5 in pure64 should be happy running on a power5, so I'd be happy porting on the "wrong" hardware.04:37
infinityThough, testing on a power5 would be nice.04:37
infinitystackpopper : No.. The Motorola CPUs and IBM CPUs are reasonably forked.04:37
infinitystackpopper : The POWER series has a different target audience.04:37
toresbe04:37
infinityApple can talk all they want about Macs being "supercomputers", but compared to their cousins at IBM, they're pathetic.04:38
stackpopperIsn't the CPU in the G5's just an IBM POWER4?04:38
infinityNo.04:38
mdzrelated04:39
mdzbut not at all identical04:39
infinitySure, they're all related, back to the first PPC.04:39
mdzwell, some closer than others :-)04:40

danielsfabbione: the 550, as infinity says, is 450-based, but the 650 stuff is a totally different chip altogether08:28
fabbioneoh ok08:28
jdubKamion, mdz: do we have cpu detection -> choose appropriate kernel package stuff in the hoary installer?08:31
fabbionejdub: exactly as we did in warty :-)08:31
jduboh08:32
fabbionejdub: sparc should be installable today08:32
fabbionewanna give it a shot?08:32
fabbionedaniels: ?08:32
jdub'cos a gnomer tried sarge and got an smp kernel on his p4 (correctly so), but didn't on warty/hoary08:32
jdubfabbione: ahr, will do - mini.iso?08:32
fabbionejdub: mini.iso or netboot.. same stuff08:33
fabbioneif you can try both it's even better08:33
fabbioneat least now you can get silo to install08:33
danielsfabbione: yeah.  reason my bandwidth sucks so much right now (ask mjg59) is that I'm rsyncing down ubuntu-sparc now.08:33
HrdwrBoBjdub: The Matrox HAL ("Hardware Abstraction Layer") is a special library 08:33
HrdwrBoBto enable features not supported by the standard XFree86 driver. 08:33
HrdwrBoBIt's required for DualHead, TV output, and DVI support08:33
danielsjdub: btw, we don't do smp stuff just because we can't fit it all into the cd08:34
danielsaiui08:34
jdubHrdwrBoB: i thought we did dualhead without hal?08:34
danielsrequired for dual-head and dvi?  that's crap08:34
jdubdaniels: oh08:34
HrdwrBoBjdub: apparently it adds more featuers and the original G400s need the hal module08:34
jdubfabbione: no rsync for sparc.ubuntu.com?08:35
danielsjdub: works for me08:35
danielsjdub: rsync://sparc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-sparc/08:36
HrdwrBoBmatrox do the same retarded license thing that ati do, they say you can't do all these things with the driver, and then give you code which is GPL'd08:36
danielsmmm, ati's licence stuff is interesting08:36
danielsbasically, you can write code like this:08:36
daniels/* Enable CRTC2 output. */08:36
danielsOUTB(RADEON_CRTC2_GEN_CNTL, RADEON_CRTC_EN);08:37
danielsbut not like this:08:37
daniels/* Writing 0x11 into MMIO:0x443F enables the second CRTC. */08:37
danielsOUTB(RADEON_CRTC2_GEN_CNTL, RADEON_CRTC_EN);08:37
danielsgo figure08:37
HrdwrBoB weird08:37
fabbionejdub: yes.. there is rsync.. as daniels said08:37
fabbionedaniels: ok08:38
danielsthe only thing stopping tv out support is someone with time (not me), motivation (uncertain), specs (me), and hardware (me)08:38
fabbionejdub, daniels: in anycase.. boot with a DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium08:38
danielsfabbione: heh, ok08:38
fabbioneyou need to be able to tell choose-mirror to use one unofficial ones08:38
jdubfabbione: the ramdisk stuff is fine now?08:38
fabbioneotherwise d-i will loop forever over there08:39
fabbionejdub: it should be.. at least from the tests Kamion and I did08:39
fabbionejdub: but i could only check the netinst08:39

jdubfabbione: what was the boot param again?08:48
fabbioneAHHH right08:48
fabbioned-i hasn't been rebuilt08:49
jduboh08:49
jdubis this going to work at all then?08:49
fabbionejdub: i think we will need to wait for Kamion to upload a new d-i08:49
fabbionesilo will, but i am afraid that the rest is the same08:49
fabbioneotherwise.. wait..08:49
fabbionei can do a local build08:49

infinityMy GF6800GT makes me happy, currently.09:03
danielsinfinity: http://amnesiac.heapspace.net/~daniel/cards.html, plus a fair few more esoteric ones that have just arrived09:03
infinityBut if I build a second machine...09:03
infinityI was grabbing the Matrox drivers specifically pursuant to the conversation up there.09:03
infinityIs that IBM an ATI-based FireGL?09:04
danielsATI OEMed it; it's not actually an ATI chip.09:06
=== infinity notes in the "need" list that he used to have a miniITX board with via videa.
danielsWe don't have *any* docs on that one, and IBM won't give us any.09:06
infinityHence why I submitted the via-on-XF86 patch to Debian.09:06
infinityNot an ATI chip?.. How old is it?09:07
danielsPretty old.09:07
infinityI though all FireGL products in the last 2 or 3 years were Radeon-based.09:07
infinityOh.  If it's ancient, it might be whatever was on the old Diamond FireGL cards.09:07
infinityWhich was very not ATI.09:08
danielsProbably.  It was done by FGL Graphics, who were an S3 subsiduary (and the origin of fglrx), so Diamond doing it totally isn't out of the question.09:08
danielsThe board says  2000.09:08
infinityYeah, that'd be a Diamond FireGL, then.09:09
infinityIBM logo notwithstanding. :)09:09
infinityI used a few of those when I was doing sysadmin work at a place that was heavy in CAD/CAM.09:09
danielsAs I said, it's an ATI OEM.09:09
danielsWell, I have one here, and it's currently a $50 VESA card.09:09
infinityThat's probably al it'd ever be at this point anyway.09:10
infinityVideo cards have come so far in 5 years, who'd want support for olf ones (beyond "something on the screen")09:10
danielsOne of the DRI guys, in particular, wants DRI supporting every 3D-capable card ever.09:11
danielsSo one of the conditions of him sending me the imstt (iXmicro) was that I'd have to write the DRI driver if he ever happened upon the data sheet.09:11

YokoZarYeah.  I've been trying to get him to update the package for months now, or turn over maintainership.  He hasn't done anything, and it got to the point where we've been mirroring our own apt repository at winehq.  It got quite annoying telling every Debian user to install from source11:11
ajmitchogra: learning isn't too much of a problem, I'm nearly finished in the NM queue for debian, and maintain ~10 packages in sid :)11:11
ograYokoZar: we want to aviod drifting to far apart from dbian, so its always desirable to have fixes committed upstream.... wine is a quite essential package for many people. (in debian too)11:11

fabbionecan you kindly add all the info in the bug?12:55

pvhI tried to install Hoary with the installer onto my laptop the other day, and installing the base system failed because I had no floppy.06:34

Kamionpvh: that's not during base installation, though; you reported a problem with the base system failing to install07:14
Kamionno such error can appear in the curses interface during base system installation07:14
pvhKamion: Debian-installer marked the step "Install base system" as having failed.07:14
pvhAnd would not proceed beyond that point.07:14

fabbioneKamion: that's in dmesg07:14
pvhKamion: So I can assure you that whatever the problem may have been, that was where and when it occurred.07:14

mdzKamion: I think we're talking about different things07:50

Kamionand, of course, there's the amd64 grub breakage, but that was in array cd 3 too10:26
mdzKamion: are you going to be around for a bit?  I'd like to talk about netcfg sometime soon10:26
Kamionthully: however, my fiancee wants me at her house now, so it will definitely not be today; I didn't promise today anyway10:26
Kamionmdz: no, sorry10:26
mdzok, tomorrow then10:26
Kamionsee above :-)10:26
thullyOK - got to go - bye10:29

enricojdub: morning.  Elmo's setting up our (we == docteam) canonical svn repository and needs a mail to send commits to.  A ubuntu-doc-commits list would be great: is it possible to have it?10:59

jdubsure11:00
enricoouch!11:00
jdubthat's for using svn!11:01
enricoplans are to migrate to baz, but a prerequisite was to have a sandbox to play with11:01
enricono sandbox found yet, and it's controversial if baz is ready for usage by less literate people yet11:01
enricobut long term plans are to migrate to baz when it's ready (for some non-pioneer definition of ready :)11:02

danielsmdz: think I've slammed everything through, but need to catch a couple of hours.  to get connectivity back, I'd need to reboot my workstation (acx111 is flaky), and it's in the middle of a build, so no.  debconf, live CD, FTBFS, everything but i810 CRTs (and I might be picking up an i845 later today) should all be fixed with this stuff.11:35

danielsmdz: not worth bothering.  by the time it hits the archives, I'll be up and looking over this build success, and sending it out for testing on davis and concordia before I upload.11:37
danielsmdz: (assuming, say, 15min for the upload to katie, 10min for the buildds to get kicked, 2-3h [maybe more?]  for halley to build it, 10min for katie to notice upload, 15min to get included in a pulse; by that time, I've already uploaded ubuntu13, pretty much)11:40
