| === Kamion looks at some of kickstart's auth options, and wonders if the right answer might be to automatically enable universe and drag in packages from there | ||
| Kamion | like nis or whatever | 01:03 |
| jdub | Kamion: hopefully next release we go with libuser :) | 01:04 |
| jdub | i don't think pulling universe packages is good | 01:04 |
| Kamion | jdub: these are people with preexisting setups | 01:05 |
| jdub | perhaps just break nicely if those can't be satisfied? | 01:05 |
| jdub | yeah, but they're porting them to ubuntu | 01:05 |
| Kamion | saying "but look, we have this better option!" is precisely no good at all | 01:05 |
| jdub | there is no better option | 01:05 |
| Kamion | they're porting one piece to Ubuntu, if we won't work with the rest of their machines they may well just say "oh well, screw 'em" and ditch us | 01:05 |
| jdub | we don't support some of those things | 01:05 |
| jdub | (nis is in main though) | 01:05 |
| Kamion | hm, true | 01:06 |
| jdub | the right fix is to support those things | 01:06 |
| === sivang says good night. | ||
| jdub | night sivan | 01:06 |
| Kamion | hm, ok | 01:06 |
| Kamion | kind of screws them over for explicitly selected packages still, but that's not so much of a problem | 01:06 |
| Kamion | I think I'd like to have a way to automatically enable universe in kickstart | 01:07 |
| Kamion | although I am not quite sure what the syntax should look like | 01:07 |
| zenwhen | hey Kamion is K3B currently broken? | 01:07 |
| Kamion | how should I know? :) | 01:07 |
| sivang | night jdub, I'll have the patch ready first thing morning. (too tired for it now) | 01:07 |
| zenwhen | Oh I thought you were the resident KDE guy | 01:07 |
| zenwhen | lol | 01:07 |
| Kamion | zenwhen: not even slightly or remotely | 01:07 |
| === lupus_ [~lupus@dD5772FB1.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| zenwhen | lol | 01:07 |
| Kamion | I used KDE once in 1999 | 01:08 |
| Riddell | zenwhen: hello | 01:08 |
| Kamion | or thereabouts | 01:08 |
| zenwhen | It crashes when I drop in some mp3s | 01:08 |
| zenwhen | figured I would see if anyone had noticed. | 01:08 |
| Riddell | zenwhen: possibly restricted format issues | 01:08 |
| Riddell | although it shouldn't crash | 01:09 |
| zenwhen | Well it worked fine before I upgraded to hoary | 01:09 |
| jdub | Kamion: yeah, explicitly enabling it would be very useful | 01:09 |
| Kamion | jdub: kind of annoying that the format is owned by Anaconda; I'm not sure how to extend it correctly | 01:10 |
| jdub | <x-element> ;-) ;-) | 01:10 |
| Kamion | I guess I'll just add a 'components' directive or something so you can say 'components main restricted universe multiverse' | 01:11 |
| Kamion | or something like that | 01:11 |
| Kamion | kickstart != xml ;) | 01:11 |
| jdub | components files are tho | 01:11 |
| jdub | hrm, are you handling those? | 01:11 |
| Kamion | no | 01:12 |
| Kamion | well, not particularly | 01:12 |
| Kamion | I will have to provide some kind of crappy shim for system-config-kickstart | 01:12 |
| jdub | how painful was porting the system-config-kickstart app itself (not so much the rh->debian kickstart assumptions)? | 01:13 |
| Kamion | jdub: in answer to your previous question, yes, it's easy to break nicely on unsupported stuff, already doing that | 01:13 |
| Kamion | jdub: mostly just irritating, it's not a very well-written application and has an awful lot of RH/Fedora assumptions besides | 01:13 |
| jdub | i wonder how sane it would be to use a bunch of the rh system config thingies | 01:13 |
| Kamion | I had a look - it didn't really help | 01:13 |

| Kamion | the only one I'm currently wondering about is the stuff in system-config-securelevel, for firewall configuration | 01:14 |
| Kamion | but I think really that sort of stuff ought to go in base-config and do more Ubuntuish things | 01:14 |
| Kamion | for the moment I've implemented only 'firewall --disabled' :) | 01:15 |
| jdub | heh | 01:15 |
| bob2 | erk, icky i810 audio ickiness | 01:16 |
| daniels | heh :) | 01:16 |
| Kamion | jdub: oh, by RH assumptions, I mean more stuff like the rhpl libraries | 01:16 |
| daniels | bob2: you don't have to hack the ALSA driver to get it working on your chipset :\ | 01:16 |
| jdub | Kamion: ah, yeah | 01:17 |
| jdub | Kamion: mostly localised to those? | 01:17 |
| jdub | nice doesn't have a huge effect on IO load, does it? | 01:17 |
| bob2 | daniels: it's got weird distortion after like 20 sleep/resume cycles | 01:17 |
| Kamion | rhpl stuff was primarily gettext plus a couple of hardware detection pieces | 01:17 |
| Kamion | I did the gettext stuff differently (and cheesily), and stubbed out the hardware detection for now | 01:17 |
| daniels | bobbong | 01:17 |
| bob2 | otoh, I'm happy sleep Just Works all the time now | 01:18 |
| bob2 | except I'm not game to try suspend-to-disk again so I can swap batteries | 01:18 |
| Kamion | jdub: any idea what /usr/bin/htmlview might do, and what it should be replaced by? | 01:23 |
| Kamion | /usr/bin/x-www-browser maybe? | 01:24 |
| jdub | isn't htmlview like html2text? | 01:25 |
| Kamion | jdub: doesn't look like it from the code, it's connected to Help -> Contents | 01:27 |
| mdz | jbailey: what is the word on the initrd features you were working on? | 01:30 |
| mdz | jbailey: will they make it in time for the freeze? | 01:30 |
| jbailey | mdz: The DSDT stuff was uploaded earlier today (as well as fixes for most of the bugs I have assigned) | 01:31 |
| jbailey | mdz: The NFSRoot initramfs is iffy. I either need to update linux-kernel-headers (ugly) or find a better solution (we've talked about linux-libc-headers in #debian-glibc) for klibc. | 01:32 |
| jbailey | mdz: I'm planning on hacking on the NFSRoot stuff a bit tonight to see if I can quickly compile something sane or if I should just punt it. It's doing NFSBoot stuff fine for me, though. integrated hotplug/busybox/tie into the kernel build isn't for Hoary. | 01:32 |
| === Kamion uses x-www-browser for now | ||
| jdub | Kamion: hrm, i don't have htmlview | 01:33 |
| jdub | oh | 01:33 |
| jdub | oh | 01:33 |
| jdub | sorry | 01:33 |
| Kamion | I think it's an RHism | 01:33 |
| jdub | yes, that's a red hat wrapper for the browser | 01:34 |
| jdub | i'd suggest using gnome-open | 01:34 |
| Kamion | what does that provide over x-www-browser? a GNOME dependency? :) | 01:34 |
| Kamion | ew, /usr/bin/gnome-open is provided by a library package | 01:35 |
| Kamion | so wrong | 01:35 |
| Kamion | next time libgnome's soname changes that will cause upgrade hell | 01:36 |
| lamont | jdub: thoughts on the postfix->shipseed mail?> | 01:36 |
| mdz | jbailey: how would linux-libc-headers differ from linux-kernel-headers (apart from eliminating a lot of confusion...) | 01:37 |
| jdub | lamont: i read it and cried | 01:37 |
| jdub | Kamion: iz gtk boog :) | 01:38 |
| lamont | jdub: it's a good thing - it lets postfix be functional at install. | 01:38 |
| Kamion | jdub: what would the correct way of depending on gnome-open be? kickstart does not currently depend on anything GNOME, and I don't want to add an explicit dependency on libgnome2-0 because that's asking for trouble | 01:38 |
| lamont | but I wanted to let you have a good cry before I did ti... | 01:38 |
| jdub | Kamion: isn't this for s-c-k? | 01:38 |
| Kamion | jdub: sorry, yeah, s-c-k. it only depends on gtk and glade at the moment. | 01:39 |
| jdub | lamont: the thing that worried me the most was removing everything that may need an mta, like mutt | 01:39 |
| Kamion | removing mutt kind of concerned me | 01:39 |
| lamont | understandable | 01:39 |
| lamont | but it's still on the CD... | 01:39 |
| jdub | Kamion: perhaps we should chat to seb about gnome-open | 01:39 |
| jbailey | mdz: linux-kernel-headers is the package that gotom, doko, and I put together to try and solve thge problem, but haven't really had time to keep up to date. Most distro's have their own magic mess of the kernel headers tuned to userspace. linux-libc-headers (http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/) is someone else's effort to do the same thing. He seems to be doing things well, has been keep | 01:40 |
| jbailey | ing it up to date, and has been doing it for a year so far. | 01:40 |
| Kamion | jdub: ok, I'll file a bug if I remember, I'll use x-www-browser for now | 01:40 |
| jdub | ok | 01:40 |
| jdub | Kamion: perhaps you could suck it out of gconf via gconftool-2? :) | 01:40 |
| jbailey | mdz: My thought for now was to package l-l-h to go into /usr/include/l-l-h. Tell klibc to use it for now. That would give me exposure to the package and make it easier to propose replacing l-k-h | 01:42 |
| jdub | etc/X11/sysconfig/synaptic.desktop <- wtf? | 01:42 |
| jbailey | mdz: (Either here or in upstream Debian. I still don't know my relationship to glibc in Ubuntu. *g*) | 01:42 |
| Kamion | jdub: I'll refrain for killing you because you're useful ;) | 01:42 |
| Kamion | er, refrain *from*. my English good, I learn him from a book. | 01:42 |

| lamont | or do we need to discuss it more? | 01:54 |
| lamont | I think that the recommendation is consistant with the decision in the tech board. | 01:54 |
| elmo | Kamion: fyi, we now have a kick ass us.archive.u.c, if you want a real world use case for the installer changes ;) | 01:54 |

| Kamion | jdub: done, thanks | 01:57 |
| jdub | lamont: feels a bit early, given lack of feedback | 01:57 |
| lamont | jdub: is ok post-feature freeze, then? | 01:57 |
| lamont | assuming feedback goes that way, of course. | 01:58 |
| jdub | lamont: i think so, it is a change we've planned for | 01:58 |
| jdub | and not really a feature | 01:58 |
| jdub | it's a defeature if anything ;) | 01:58 |
| lamont | well, one could argue that point either direction, but OK. | 01:58 |
| lamont | well, having postfix uncrippled would be a nice bugfix/feature | 01:58 |

| mdz | Kamion: yes | 02:02 |
| lamont | Kamion: the liveCD's from this morning have the -15 kernel in them, yes? | 02:03 |
| mdz | lamont: it's after 1700 and I haven't made it to ubuntu-devel (~3rd in mailbox order:) | 02:03 |
| Kamion | argh, complicated parsing bug in kickseed | 02:03 |
| lamont | Kamion: that's what you get for parsing complicated things, no? :-) | 02:03 |
| Kamion | lamont: -15> yes | 02:04 |
| elmo | mdz: slacker | 02:04 |
| Kamion | well, kickstart files use shell-style quoting, so I was running them through eval as a cheap way to dequote them | 02:04 |

| Kamion | but now I discover that they have unquoted metacharacters (specifically pre-crypted md5 root passwords start with $1$ ...) | 02:05 |
| lamont | mdz/jdub: but it's ok to go change 'exim4 | mail-transport-agent' to 'postfix | mail-transport-agent' everywhere in main/restricted, yes? | 02:05 |

| mdz | Kamion: what do you think about the sudo group patch? | 02:06 |
| Kamion | mdz: I still have trouble with the name, I think adm/admin is asking for confusion | 02:06 |
| jdub | mdz: (rock!) | 02:07 |
| mdz | Kamion: I agree, but I haven't a better idea | 02:07 |
| mdz | jdub: how about you? | 02:07 |
| mdz | jdub: (name for the group) | 02:07 |
| dilinger | not bad. 57 seconds between the grub prompt and gdm prompt | 02:07 |
| Kamion | how about 'rootsudo'? | 02:07 |
| elmo | mdz: svn co http://mg.pov.lt/gtimelog/svn/ gtimelog | 02:07 |
| mdz | sudo is taken for something else | 02:07 |
| dilinger | (including hostap firmware uploading and dhclient pauses | 02:07 |
| mdz | elmo: is it usable? | 02:08 |
| Kamion | although rootsudo is a bit insanely implementation-specific | 02:08 |
| mdz | I've tried some other programs like that and found them less than ideal | 02:08 |
| tseng | sudoers might be valid | 02:08 |
| elmo | mdz: dunno, haven't tried, but the lunchpadders seem keen | 02:08 |
| jdub | mdz: admin seems confusing to me too | 02:08 |
| jdub | mdz: we really want to avoid 'wheel'? | 02:08 |
| elmo | mdz: it's written by Marius, who was at Mataaro | 02:08 |
| Kamion | jdub: wheel is gid 0 on BSD, ultra-confusing | 02:08 |
| elmo | so if it's usable enough, he's probably persuadable to fix it the rest of the way | 02:08 |
| jdub | Kamion: mmm, true | 02:08 |
| jdub | WDOD? (what does osx do?) | 02:08 |
| Kamion | OS X uses the wheel group, I think | 02:09 |
| === jdub really has to reinstall his ibook | ||
| elmo | I guess 'r00t' isn't an option? | 02:10 |
| Kamion | oh, wheel -> admin in OS X >= 10.3 apparently | 02:10 |
| mdz | jdub: yes, wheel has too much baggage | 02:10 |
| jdub | Kamion: hmm | 02:10 |
| Kamion | (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Conceptual/Security_Overview/Concepts/chapter_3_section_9.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000976-CH203-TPXREF121) | 02:10 |
| mdz | jbailey: so your hotplug upload, does it address the ide-generic-loaded-last issue, or not yet? | 02:11 |
| Kamion | I also think <= 8 characters would be a good idea | 02:11 |
| mdz | agreed | 02:11 |
| elmo | why do we need a group again? | 02:12 |
| mdz | elmo: adding users to a group is simpler than modifying /etc/sudoers | 02:12 |
| mdz | lets users add new users with admin privileges using the GUI | 02:13 |
| mdz | prevents us from having to edit /etc/sudoers on the fly during install | 02:13 |
| Kamion | I dunno, I guess admin is OK, it's really adm that's misnamed | 02:13 |
| mdz | though i don't think the current patch implements that last bit yet | 02:13 |
| mdz | admin is the least evil of those we've discussed | 02:13 |
| jdub | i endorse admin | 02:13 |
| mdz | confusion >> accidental vulnerabilities | 02:13 |
| jbailey | mdz: No, but because PCI is loaded first, I think that should take care of it. | 02:14 |
| infinity | You can't use "wheel"... "wheel" is gid 0 on many systems (same as "root" on Debian/Ubuntu) | 02:14 |
| infinity | That's just confusing as all get out. | 02:14 |
| jbailey | mdz: (I'm just running off for food, I'll reply as soon as I'm back) | 02:14 |
| mdz | jbailey: for coldplugging anyway, which is all we really care about I think | 02:14 |
| Kamion | infinity: yeah, I mentioned the BSD case above and I think everyone agreed | 02:14 |
| Kamion | OK, I'll implement it with admin then | 02:15 |
| jdub | mdz: so, would it be dangerous to assume that people who should have sudo access (admin group) also be able to read logs and so on (adm group)? | 02:15 |
| Kamion | argh, the patch is evil though | 02:15 |
| jbailey | mdz: For this round. I'm going to provide a setup and work with dilinger to try and solve the ide hotplug thing properly. No real idea on timing for it, though. | 02:15 |
| Kamion | it randomly allocates gid 80 for itself | 02:15 |
| jdub | or am i missing some of the love that adm gets? | 02:15 |
| mdz | jdub: I don't think we can safely change ownership of log files to admin, if that's what you mean | 02:15 |
| Kamion | jdub: one change at a time ... | 02:16 |
| mdz | jdub: what Kamion said, and also "feature freeze" :-) | 02:16 |
| jdub | mdz: no, don't go too far forward, only asking exactly what i asked :) | 02:16 |
| Kamion | hm, so, I think I'm going to implement the admin group as a normal system group, not one in the 0-100 range | 02:16 |
| Kamion | 0-99 | 02:16 |
| Kamion | although I could be persuaded otherwise | 02:16 |
| mdz | I don't think it needs to be in base-passwd | 02:17 |
| Kamion | however I was kind of hoping to avoid branching base-passwd for Ubuntu | 02:17 |
| infinity | Kamion : There's no real reason to have a static group at all, is there? | 02:17 |
| mdz | addgroup --system seems fine to me | 02:17 |
| Kamion | since I'd have to allocate the gid in both places anyway | 02:17 |
| Kamion | infinity: can't think of one | 02:17 |
| infinity | I thin kthe only problem you may run into is that a couple thousand users out there may already have groups named "admin". | 02:18 |
| Kamion | that is indeed uncomfortable; we won't be making this change on upgrades though | 02:18 |
| infinity | In which case, you want to name yours "Homage-to-Debian-Exim" | 02:18 |
| Kamion | (it's just too complicated and error-prone to try to do it on upgrades) | 02:19 |
| daniels | infheh | 02:19 |
| infinity | Kamion : Oh, is this a base-config change, not owned by sudo? | 02:19 |
| Kamion | ... which means that users-admin probably needs to check for %admin in sudoers and print "you lose, kthxbye" otherwise | 02:19 |
| Kamion | infinity: no, it's owned by sudo, but the sudoers file won't be changed on upgrade | 02:19 |
| Kamion | we can release-note it anyway | 02:20 |
| infinity | What if I install sudo after having created an admin group? | 02:20 |
| Kamion | sudo's in Ubuntu base so that would only happen on Debian->Ubuntu sidegrades | 02:20 |
| infinity | Check. Let the Debian users work it out. They're supposed to be smart. | 02:21 |
| Kamion | I could print a scary warning though | 02:21 |
| daniels | (in which case, you've already lost on group memberships anyway) | 02:21 |
| mdz | Kamion: do you have an opinion on lamont's MTA proposal? | 02:21 |
| infinity | Kamion : Well, if you're already testing upgrade vs. fresh install to determine whether or not to add the bits to sudoers, you may as well just test for the existance of the group too, and treat that as an upgrade. | 02:22 |
| infinity | Kamion : No warnings required then, just a small loss in fucntionality. | 02:22 |
| Kamion | mdz: it still feels wrong to me to ship without a mail-transport-agent and I'd much rather have Keybuk's dummy one, but if it can be made to work I think it's probably better than the current broken-postfix situation | 02:24 |
| Kamion | infinity: the corner cases worry me, because both sudo and passwd need to ensure that the group exists | 02:25 |
| mdz | lamont: I say let's do it; if we decide that it was a huge mistake, it's a simple matter to migrate to Keybuk's mini-MTA | 02:26 |
| Kamion | infinity: I think I might just print a warning; if you're installing sudo from scratch, chances are it's part of a relatively small upgrade anyway | 02:26 |
| daniels | Kamion: alternately, you could touch /var/lib/sudo/.have-i-created-the-group-yet | 02:26 |
| mdz | that could very well happen | 02:27 |
| mdz | but at least we'll have tried it | 02:27 |
| infinity | daniels : How does that help? | 02:27 |
| infinity | Kamion : What does base-passwd do on upgrades if a change it wants to make clashes with a group/user already on the system? | 02:28 |
| Kamion | infinity: base-passwd always asks, but its situation is different | 02:32 |
| Kamion | I'm just going to go with the scary warning, I think | 02:32 |
| infinity | Well, given the sensitive nature of a "default admin group", that would be the only reason I'd treat it carefully. | 02:33 |
| jdub | Kamion: sounds good | 02:33 |
| jdub | Kamion: really happy this is going in :-) | 02:33 |
| infinity | Make the scary warning blink. :) | 02:33 |
| Kamion | WARNING: An admin group already exists! This group is used to grant root | 02:34 |
| Kamion | privileges. Please audit the membership of your admin group and make sure | 02:34 |
| Kamion | this is appropriate. | 02:34 |
| Kamion | added "using sudo" after "root privileges" | 02:35 |
| jdub | that was my only suggestion | 02:35 |
| infinity | That should do. | 02:35 |
| jdub | which i didn't even have time to fully type :) | 02:35 |
| Kamion | actually | 02:36 |
| Kamion | sudo's postinst already has code to ask you whether you want to abort the installation if gid 27 is not sudo | 02:36 |
| Kamion | so it clearly cannot be a problem to do the same thing for admin :) | 02:37 |
| infinity | I'd say not. | 02:37 |
| infinity | Since admin is far more important than sudo. | 02:37 |
| infinity | Wait, gid 27 is sudo? | 02:38 |
| Kamion | yes | 02:38 |
| infinity | Is that an Ubuntu-only thing? :) | 02:38 |
| Kamion | hell no | 02:38 |
| Kamion | <cjwatson@cairhien ~/src/debian/base-passwd/trunk/base-passwd>$ grep sudo group.master | 02:38 |
| Kamion | sudo:*:27: | 02:38 |

| Kamion | esac | 02:48 |
| jdub | ah, sensible - thanks! | 02:48 |
| lamont | jdub: if it's at the start or end, you can use ${var#string} or ${var%string} | 02:48 |
| lamont | and then compare to $var | 02:48 |
| jdub | no, variable will be \n delimited | 02:49 |
| lamont | ew | 02:51 |
| jdub | i could do space delimited | 02:51 |
| jdub | other option is grep, but i'd like to avoid that | 02:51 |
| jdub | this is a rarely true branch in a tight loop | 02:51 |
| mdz | it's shell; how tight could it be? ;-) | 02:52 |
| Kamion | actually, I have an even better idea: let's do the %admin user business in passwd.config, where the initial user is created, and not in sudo.postinst at all | 02:52 |
| Kamion | that way there is no risk that it might affect upgrades | 02:53 |

| Rotund | ohhh. that's smart, but I just found it too | 05:01 |
| Rotund | thanks | 05:01 |
| Rotund | how would Ubuntu deal with such things | 05:03 |
| Rotund | I know the general idea is "it just works" | 05:04 |
| Rotund | obviously, with dual-head would mean one would need to at least need to determine the monitor configuration (which is 1, 2, etc) | 05:06 |
| jdub | Rotund: that'd be a very welcome hack | 05:06 |
| Rotund | and the no NVIDIA driver in the default makes it even harder | 05:06 |
| Rotund | jdub: great. I know I missed it on my wife's computer w/ 3 monitors | 05:06 |
| Rotund | I need to talk out how it should work | 05:06 |
| Rotund | would a Windows style "display properties" be easier? | 05:07 |
| jdub | i thought about this a while back | 05:07 |
| Rotund | great. what was your thoughts? | 05:07 |
| jdub | setting up a configuration by default would be most useful | 05:07 |
| jdub | the only way you can really do that sanely is: | 05:07 |
| jdub | - only enable heads that have monitors attached (ie. you can get ddc info) | 05:07 |
| Rotund | great idea | 05:08 |
| Rotund | BTW: which discover does hoary use? | 05:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | AGP->first pci card->second pci card left to right default config | 05:08 |
| jdub | - only enable multiple heads if you can determine a 'primary' output in a reasonable way (ie. on dual head cards, that's easy, on an agp+pci machine, you'd be making a reasonable assumption, on other machines it would be tougher) | 05:08 |
| jdub | Rotund: xresprobe and ddcprobe, you'd have to run these on each available video card output | 05:09 |
| zul | there kernel team stuff added to the wiki | 05:09 |
| jdub | - if you can't enable it by default given the above points, add the configuration to xorg.conf but comment it out | 05:09 |
| Rotund | okay. currently it looks like xserver-xorg.config uses discover | 05:09 |
| jdub | - having a display properties page that was gnomey and sexy and handled this kind of stuff would be ideal, but also very hard | 05:10 |
| Rotund | okay | 05:10 |
| Rotund | Another question (as people have asked me). How do you have ubuntu auto detect the vid card again? | 05:11 |
| jdub | should all be in the .config | 05:11 |
| === daniels springs up from having passed out on the couch and had weird dreams. | ||
| jdub | hotplug loads the right drivers, though | 05:12 |
| daniels | jdub: actually, you don't get to do multi-card DDC outside the X server | 05:12 |
| daniels | only the primary one, since we call via VIE | 05:12 |
| daniels | er, VBE | 05:12 |
| jdub | daniels: so you'd have to run X to do the ddc? that doesn't sound terrible | 05:12 |
| daniels | jdub: it's not terrible, but parsing the log output is pretty horrific | 05:13 |
| jdub | so, assuming you can parse the log output sanely, is running X for ddc something you'd want to avoid in the common case (1 output)? | 05:14 |
| Rotund | so, the installer would have to boot x? | 05:18 |
| HrdwrBoB | I would think so, but you couldn't tell without starting X | 05:18 |
| daniels | jdub: it can be done, but 'sanely' is pushing it | 05:18 |
| jdub | Rotund: the install process already does | 05:18 |
| Rotund | really? | 05:19 |
| Rotund | did it in warty? | 05:19 |
| daniels | well, not for DDC | 05:19 |
| daniels | but if you're on a laptop, second-stage installer fires X up | 05:19 |
| infinity | daniels : I assume the latest nv driver knows how to make my card go? | 05:20 |
| infinity | daniels : warty on my new machine was less spectacular than I'd hoped. :) | 05:20 |
| infinity | (Well, until I installed the binary driver..) | 05:21 |
| Rotund | the nv driver isn't too good | 05:21 |
| daniels | infinity: Yeah, nv in Hoary should be fine. | 05:21 |
| infinity | Rotund : It's good enough to make a livecd work. | 05:22 |
| Rotund | I'm assuming the nvidia driver will never be on the default install CD? | 05:22 |
| infinity | Having a system try really, really hard to boot to X, then dump to a console and flip you the bird is no fun. | 05:22 |
| Rotund | =) | 05:22 |
| Rotund | I didn't have that issue w/ mine, but I had an old card at the time | 05:22 |
| infinity | Yeah, mine was a shiny new 6800GT. | 05:23 |
| infinity | It's been a long time since I had a card newer than the X driver I was trying to run. | 05:23 |
| infinity | I'd almost forgotted that happens. | 05:23 |
| Rotund | oh yeah. no chance on the ancient XFree drivers =) | 05:23 |

| HrdwrBoB | video overlay can be .. weird, or not work at all | 05:40 |
| infinity | daniels : Why bother enumerating unsupported cards?... if it's unsupported and lspci thinks it looks like a VGA adapter, just throw a signal at it. How bad can that go? :) | 05:40 |
| Rotund | yup. and the sleep stuff too | 05:40 |
| infinity | daniels : Windows has been managing that for ages with very little side effect. | 05:40 |
| infinity | daniels : The odds of it being both unsupported AND not a PCI VGA device are so slim, you'd cover pretty much all cases of unsupported cards being able to display /something/. | 05:41 |
| Rotund | what is the program that dumps the hard to parse info about the current screen? | 05:43 |

| Rotund | which would be more "gnomey" an Advanced tab or an Advanced button for configuring the finer details of the video card? | 06:01 |
| Rotund | (adding options, changing driver, etc) | 06:01 |
| Rotund | or none of that at all? | 06:01 |
| daniels | wow, this amd64 si frighteningly fast. | 06:06 |
| daniels | Rotund: neither, really | 06:06 |
| Rotund | okay. so someone should have to manually edit their config file to change from nv to nvidia? | 06:07 |
| Rotund | (Okay this is probably somewhat outside what GNOME should be doing in the first place... more of a distro thing) | 06:07 |
| daniels | Rotund: that said, a graphical utility would be absolutely welcome | 06:10 |
| Rotund | =) | 06:10 |
| Rotund | okay | 06:10 |
| daniels | the plan for hoary was to have the package just set up, out of the box, something that *worked* | 06:10 |
| daniels | if you wanted to get fancy, we could have an all-singing, all-dancing graphical utility | 06:10 |
| Rotund | how do I get xresprobe to do something? | 06:10 |
| daniels | the former has been largely satisfied ... | 06:10 |
| daniels | er, run it? :) | 06:10 |
| daniels | sudo xresprobe $drivername | 06:10 |
| Rotund | what is the $drivername? | 06:11 |
| Rotund | =) sudo =) | 06:11 |
| jdub | the name of the driver for your card | 06:12 |
| Rotund | what happens if I have 2 nvidia cards installed? | 06:12 |
| jdub | no idea | 06:12 |
| Rotund | or in my wife's case, 3 ati cards =) | 06:12 |
| daniels | Rotund: many things, none of which are the right thing | 06:12 |
| Rotund | SWEET | 06:12 |
| daniels | well, it's the right thing for the installer, but not the right thing to set the cards up | 06:12 |
| daniels | it's kind of misleading, because all it does is asks the VESA BIOS 'hey, what up' | 06:12 |
| Rotund | NICE | 06:13 |
| daniels | this means it will only ever ask one card (i.e. $drivername is meaningless unless you're on a laptop), and that card is determined by the BIOS | 06:13 |
| Rotund | okay. So, what should I use instead? | 06:13 |
| daniels | errrrrr | 06:13 |
| HrdwrBoB | Rotund: or in my case | 06:13 |
| HrdwrBoB | the name of one card | 06:13 |
| HrdwrBoB | and the attached monitor of the other | 06:13 |
| HrdwrBoB | in any case, it doesn't produce meaningful results | 06:13 |
| daniels | you probably want to look at xprobe.sh and lcdsize.sh, and look into starting X with -probeonly, and grepping the log | 06:13 |
| daniels | unfortunately, the grep logic in this case will be totally batshit insane | 06:14 |
| Rotund | Also, mine is stupid as it has the right monitor and the wrong specs anyways =) | 06:14 |
| daniels | if you're using warty, then yes, the sync ranges calculated are not necessarily what your monitor can do | 06:14 |
| Rotund | no, it only goes to 1024x768. of couse, my monitor is currently at 1600x1200 | 06:14 |
| daniels | cool | 06:15 |
| Rotund | ummm. something like that | 06:15 |
| daniels | if that's hoary doing it, i'd love to know about it | 06:16 |
| Rotund | no, I'd have to reboot to the live CD | 06:17 |
| Rotund | too lazy =) | 06:17 |
| Rotund | Does it use a lookup table or just ask? | 06:17 |
| daniels | it probes the monitor for its list of supported resolutions | 06:20 |
| daniels | in the case of a laptop, it starts up X and looks for a rather complicated list of magic strings | 06:20 |
| daniels | if it really has no idea, it asks | 06:20 |
| Rotund | okay. | 06:21 |
| Rotund | it's a desktop | 06:21 |
| Rotund | CRT screen | 06:21 |
| Rotund | DELL P780. It hasn't detected it right yet | 06:22 |
| Rotund | why does this work? sudo xresprobe nvidia23 | 06:23 |
| daniels | because the driver argument is unused unless you're on a laptop | 06:26 |
| Rotund | It's hard to try to get a display properties that doesn't have the ugliness of the advanced screen from Windows | 06:26 |
| daniels | in the future, it may be used | 06:26 |
| Rotund | 23? | 06:27 |
| daniels | it depends how seriously we go down the grep-x-log-for-ddc-results insanity path | 06:27 |
| daniels | er, yes. dude, it's unused. nothing looks at it, unless you're on a laptop. | 06:27 |

| tritium | jdub, sure | 06:34 |
| Rotund | daniels: xresprobe only looks for the following above 1024x768. 1280x1024x75 | 06:34 |

| daniels | Rotund: ok, so what's the actual probleM? | 06:37 |
| Rotund | xresprobe doesn't detect much above 1024x768 | 06:38 |
| Rotund | does it detect anything better on your monitor? | 06:39 |
| daniels | what? | 06:41 |
| daniels | dude, it detects exactly what your monitor reports | 06:41 |
| tritium | jdub, out of the available 13 packages, calc, draw, impress, math, and writer have .desktop files | 06:41 |
| Rotund | what does sudo xresprobe return on your monitor? | 06:41 |
| daniels | for me, this is 1600x1200 and everything below it, in nice little increments | 06:41 |
| daniels | right now? absolutely nothing, since I'm on amd64 | 06:41 |
| daniels | but on the i386, it returned a *lot* of resolutions, many of which were above 1024x768 | 06:41 |
| daniels | i can assure you that there is no bug in xresprobe | 06:42 |
| daniels | it feeds through exactly what your monitor reports back | 06:42 |
| Rotund | daniels: interesting. because looking at the code, I can't see how that's possible | 06:42 |
| daniels | if you dislike the resolution reported, take it up with your monitor manufacturer | 06:42 |
| daniels | you can't see how it's possible? | 06:42 |
| Rotund | daniels: look at ddcprobe.c | 06:42 |

| Rotund | I'd assume something higher level would be better | 07:31 |
| daniels | Rotund: probably python, but dude, it's a bitch to pars | 07:31 |
| Rotund | I'm sure | 07:31 |
| Rotund | =) | 07:31 |
| daniels | the problem is that you can detect when you're getting xf86PrintEDID() output, but you need driver-specific smarts to work out which head that DDC info is for, e.g. | 07:32 |
| Rotund | BTW: NVIDIA prints WAY different output | 07:32 |
| daniels | way to go nvidia | 07:33 |
| Rotund | =) | 07:33 |
| daniels | most of the DDC stuff should be in one standard form (i.e. that from xf86PrintEDID()) | 07:33 |
| Rotund | I'm a tester during the day. all I do is parse | 07:33 |
| daniels | but, that being said, I can't say that I've seen an nvidia (i.e. driver nvidia, not driver nv) log file recently | 07:33 |

| daniels | Rotund: no, you do not want the validated modes | 07:36 |
| daniels | you want the DDC output | 07:36 |
| Rotund | what's a validated mode? | 07:36 |
| Rotund | there are a bunch of resolutions in there that are not described in my config file | 07:36 |
| daniels | this is well offtopic for #ubuntu-devel at the moment. but basically all you need to know is that you're after what the monitor says is can do, which is in the DDC packet. to find this, grep for 'EDID Version' and look around there'. the mode stuff is useless as it's every mode X knows about, constrained by your configuration. so if it's not set up right, it's useless to you. and if you're probing, it isn't set up right by definition. | 07:39 |
| zenwhen | daniels, is gnome-volume-applet currently iconless for you? | 07:40 |
| Rotund | Really? That's odd as it actually mentions a lot of things not defined in my configuration (resolutions and refresh rates) | 07:40 |

| jdub | mvo_: do synaptic and apt-get share their pinning/on-hold status? | 09:43 |
| haggai | mdz: ping | 09:45 |
| bob2 | amusingly, aptitude doesn't use the same pinning system as dpkg/apt | 09:46 |
| Treenaks | bob2: sounds logical! | 09:46 |
| mvo_ | bob2: it should honor /etc/apt/preferences? | 09:46 |
| bob2 | bah | 09:46 |

| fabbione | looks ok.... | 10:04 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: it should be harmless, but I could test-build it on sparc | 10:05 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: nah.. let the buildd munge it | 10:05 |
| fabbione | i am checking one thing only.. | 10:05 |
| fabbione | gcc -dumpmachine | 10:06 |
| fabbione | sparc-linux | 10:06 |
| fabbione | is that what you expect? | 10:06 |
| Mithrandir | yeah; it should be sparc64-linux or something if you have a sparc64 userland. | 10:06 |
| Mithrandir | but sparc64 uses a different loader, so that should be fine, I imagine. | 10:06 |
| fabbione | sparc64 gcc -dumpmachine | 10:06 |
| fabbione | sparc-linux | 10:06 |
| Mithrandir | does gcc -m64 -dumpmachine say the same? | 10:06 |
| Mithrandir | well, shouldn't be a problem anyhow | 10:07 |
| fabbione | yes | 10:07 |
| fabbione | but i have no dirs like /usr/lib/sparc-linux/ | 10:07 |
| Mithrandir | that's ok, you'll have them later. | 10:07 |
| fabbione | ok | 10:07 |

| rubenv | it goes very very scary bright :-) | 10:57 |
| daniels | rubenv: ooo. what sort of video chipset? | 10:58 |
| rubenv | nvidia, with nv driver now | 10:58 |
| daniels | 'cool'. | 10:58 |
| daniels | unfortunately, that's the most productive answer I can give | 10:59 |
| daniels | that driver is a black box :\ no-one other than nvidia can do anything with it | 10:59 |
| rubenv | no, not the binary nvidia | 10:59 |
| rubenv | the open source nv | 10:59 |
| rubenv | the binary one does it right | 10:59 |
| daniels | yes, even the 'open source' nv, is not open source at all | 11:00 |
| rubenv | but the open source one allows suspend to disk | 11:00 |
| Treenaks | daniels: scary | 11:00 |
| rubenv | perhaps i should go back to binary evil (with no suspend) | 11:00 |
| daniels | for instance, fixing a bug on radeon the other day, I changed added save->fp2_gen_cntl = save->fp2_gen_cntl | RADEON_FP2_ON & ~(RADEON_FP2_BLANK_EN); | 11:00 |
| daniels | the nv equivalent would ne pNv[0x1234] = 0x5678; | 11:01 |
| daniels | where no-one but nvidia has any idea what those numbers mean | 11:01 |
| rubenv | aha, right :-) | 11:01 |
| rubenv | unknown specs | 11:01 |
| daniels | yeah. the only people to ever change the nv driver have been nv, really. | 11:01 |
| rubenv | damn you nvidia :-( | 11:01 |

| Treenaks | daniels: yeah, but there aren't many other laptops which are almost fully supported AND have 1680x1050 resolution | 11:02 |
| === rubenv only has the second | ||
| daniels | Treenaks: for 2d it'll be fine | 11:04 |

| daniels | (and I have the specs and full 2D DDK, so when stuff goes wrong, I can fix it, or at least have a go) | 11:04 |
| Treenaks | daniels: the reason for not opening up is all patent license stuff, right? | 11:05 |
| daniels | Treenaks: ish. part of it's cross-licenced technology, part of it's just not wanting to let nvidia or whatever get at their chips (raising the barrier to entry to reverse-engineering everything they have) | 11:07 |
| daniels | part of it may also be the soundblaster thing -- just not wanting people to make cheap knockoffs of their chips that work with their drivers | 11:07 |

| daniels | elmo: could you possibly be less specific? | 02:40 |
| elmo | libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23 | 02:40 |
| elmo | and yes, Icould be a lot less specific | 02:40 |
| daniels | well, your 3D driver is claiming not to support visual 0x23 | 02:40 |
| daniels | what hardware? | 02:41 |
| elmo | MGA G550 | 02:41 |

| elmo | thanks, dude | 02:41 |

| fabbione | so that people can trash it while i am away | 03:09 |

| fabbione | the userland is the same as debian | 03:11 |

| fabbione | which is the next arch are we going to drop? | 03:13 |
| jbailey | mjg59: Does ia64? =) | 03:13 |
| elmo | jbailey: ia64 is designed to be 64-bit, sparc is known to be more efficent with 32-bit code by default | 03:13 |
| elmo | mjg59: useful how? it's enough to compile the kernel and few bi-arch libs Debian has | 03:13 |
| trulux | tritium: It's going fine | 03:14 |

| seb128 | yeah, you need to backends | 03:17 |
| jbailey | elmo: As I understood it, it wasn't so much that sparc32 was more efficient as that sparc64 didn't add any wins beyond twice the data bandwidth. So the efficiency loss is only from hauling twice as much data around when you don't really need to. | 03:17 |

| zenwhen | yeah | 05:22 |
| zenwhen | I suppose | 05:22 |
| zenwhen | I just hate searching through it and always wind up putting it in thre wrong place or duplicating one | 05:22 |
| sivang | zenwhen: better put it that way then getting it lost in the trail of irc backlogs..:-)) | 05:23 |
| kent | haha, for me aswell. And even though i try not to, my first reaction is always to go out on irc and complain ;) | 05:23 |

| seb128 | sivang: read the changelog ? | 05:28 |
| sivang | seb128: sure. | 05:29 |
| seb128 | so what's the question ? | 05:29 |
| dholbach | bbl | 05:29 |
| zenwhen | hey seb128 https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6322 is solved, btw | 05:29 |
| seb128 | hi | 05:29 |
| seb128 | k, thanks | 05:29 |
| haggai | mjt: I'm afraid that's an apt-proxy bug, that does happen sometimes | 05:29 |
| zenwhen | you just have to upgrade gnome panel | 05:29 |
| seb128 | zenwhen: I know that | 05:30 |
| mjt | haggai: i think it's apt bug, really ;) -- after manually updating /var/lib/apt/lists/* stuff and running apt-get install apt apt-utils (from 0.6.30 to 0.6.32) it works now ;) | 05:30 |
| zenwhen | seb128, do you know what changed the Window lists's ability to know which apps are on which monitor in a twinview situation? | 05:31 |
| zenwhen | It sorted them in Warty, and now it lumps both monitors. | 05:31 |
| zenwhen | oh | 05:32 |
| zenwhen | its a bug | 05:32 |
| zenwhen | lol | 05:32 |
| zenwhen | I suck and will shut up | 05:32 |
| haggai | mjt: that might be to do with apt-proxy's handling of the Modified-Since http headers | 05:32 |
| mjt | haggai: nope, the files on archive and in proxy cache are the same, I verified | 05:33 |
| mjt | haggai: and nope, apt-get update grabs them | 05:33 |
| === Alessio [~Alessio@host249-5.pool8251.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjt | either way, apt-0.6.32 fixed the issue | 05:35 |
| mvo_ | mjt: I would be suprissed if it is a apt bug that is sovled with upgrading from 0.6.30->32. the changes are nearly all about apt-cdrom :) | 05:35 |
| mjt | well, not really, but indeed changes are quite small | 05:36 |

| zenwhen | I was really pleased with how well upgrading from a warty array install disk worked. | 05:55 |
| zenwhen | I mean hoary. | 05:55 |
| zenwhen | It went better than most Windows upgrades. ;) | 05:55 |
| Hwolf | zenwhen. Every time I doubt my choice of running hoary, I think about the pc I just installed for a neighbour, which caught a virus before she got about running windows update. | 05:57 |
| zenwhen | lol | 05:59 |
| zenwhen | I am thinking of install hoary on the laptop that is arriving in the next couple hours | 05:59 |
| zenwhen | installing* | 05:59 |
| zenwhen | Because I want hoary to work well on it and the only way to affect that is to file bug reports. | 05:59 |
| zenwhen | :) | 05:59 |
| Hwolf | zenwhen, she bought an old laptop. 366mhz, 64mb memory, Think I can get it to run ubuntu? | 05:59 |
| zenwhen | Hwolf, with XFCE, it should be fine. | 06:00 |
| zenwhen | With fluxbox, it might be quite snappy. | 06:00 |
| zenwhen | Woith gnome, its going to be sluggish. | 06:00 |
| mdz | lamont: here | 06:01 |
| Hwolf | ZenWhen. I call gnome sluggish on my pc. And it's a decent rig. | 06:01 |
| mdz | Kamion: is localization-config sane for ubuntu? | 06:01 |
| zenwhen | Oh, I am running a 3Ghz P4 and a Gig of PC3200 ram. | 06:02 |
| daniels | mdz: anything you can think of before I upload xorg 6.8.1-1ubuntu16? | 06:02 |
| zenwhen | Gnome is snappy for me. | 06:02 |
| Kamion | mdz: I was having a look, but got distracted; there's a fair bit of stuff in there | 06:02 |
| daniels | mdz: works fine for me on amd64 with DDC (although I have to select the resolution), i386 with laptop, and live CD through qemu | 06:02 |
| mdz | haggai: pong | 06:02 |
| mdz | daniels: changelog? | 06:03 |
| Kamion | mdz: I think we should look at it in the long term, but for Hoary I think the least-breakage approach would probably be to clone its keyboard mapping logic into xserver-xorg's config script | 06:03 |
| Kamion | and acknowledge Konstantinos in the changelog | 06:03 |
| Hwolf | zenwhen. I've got an amd 1800+ and 512mb ram, which should be more than plenty for any typewriter inet/mail rig. Yet gnome is sluggish. | 06:03 |
| mdz | Kamion: it strikes me as the sort of thing that we might be able to implement better by modifying the affected packages directly | 06:03 |
| Kamion | mdz: yeah, I agree | 06:03 |
| mdz | Kamion: I thought we already did that for Warty? | 06:04 |
| Kamion | mdz: did which? | 06:04 |
| mdz | (the xserver logic) | 06:04 |
| Kamion | mdz: no, I looked at what we did for Warty this morning, and it's the source of a lot of bugs | 06:04 |
| haggai | mdz: you asked me to ping you yesterday re bounties but I missed you when I got back | 06:04 |
| zenwhen | Hwolf, sluggish compared to what? | 06:04 |
| Kamion | mdz: we automatically pick a keyboard mapping based on the selected *language* | 06:04 |
| daniels | mdz: /msg | 06:04 |
| daniels | mdz: no, we guess based on $LANG | 06:04 |
| mdz | Kamion: the stuff we have now is going to be obsoleted by smurfix's layout selector | 06:05 |
| Hwolf | zenwhen, compared to windows xp if kept virus-free. sluggish compared to my expectations. | 06:05 |
| Kamion | mdz: how so? smurfix's layout selector will presumably set debian-installer/keymap and the mapping will need to be just the same | 06:05 |
| Kamion | I was under the impression that the layout selector was a replacement for kbd-chooser | 06:05 |
| mdz | Kamion: it will find both the appropriate console keymap and the appropriate XKB keymap | 06:05 |
| Kamion | mdz: hrm. ok. | 06:06 |
| daniels | mdz: is that going to be good to go for hoary? | 06:06 |
| Kamion | it's a hoary goal, and seems to be already well underway | 06:07 |
| Kamion | I haven't had time to try it out yet though :-( | 06:08 |

| tseng | im not even sure what it does, tbh | 06:14 |
| bluefoxicy | tseng: Oh, you don't? I thought they moved capabilities out of the core and into a module "because it's bad to have policy in the kernel" or something | 06:15 |

| tseng | bluefoxicy: if we want to do something with netdev-random | 06:25 |
| mdz | trulux: it looks like it will print an error about mounting selinuxfs | 06:25 |
| tseng | it really needs to be cleaned up and proposed upstream | 06:26 |
| mdz | it needs to completely disable itself if selinux is not in use | 06:26 |
| bluefoxicy | tseng: I'm thinking more entropy == faster GPG key generation | 06:26 |
| tseng | bluefoxicy: erm | 06:26 |
| mdz | trulux: on the dpkg patch I defer entirely to Keybuk | 06:26 |
| tseng | bluefoxicy: gpg key isnt very slow here | 06:26 |
| tseng | bluefoxicy: but our main case for netdev-rand was SSP, which now uses urandom | 06:26 |
| tseng | and alot less bits | 06:27 |
| mdz | trulux: do you have links to the cron and pam patches? | 06:27 |

| tseng | if someone wanted to maintain it, and keep up with all the new drivers | 06:28 |
| tseng | then yes, it could be somewhat useful | 06:28 |
| bluefoxicy | heh | 06:29 |
| bluefoxicy | I'm just curious because people always say not to use /dev/random unnecessarily, like it's some precious finite resource that you need to use when you need great entropy | 06:29 |
| tseng | theyd be right | 06:30 |
| === bluefoxicy tried to find a plug-in to make xmms use /dev/random :D | ||
| bluefoxicy | tseng: so anything that pumps it up with more high-quality entropy would be good then? Or am I leading a bad conclusion? | 06:30 |
| Keybuk | mdz: I've yet to see a dpkg patch that I would even consider | 06:31 |
| dholbach | re | 06:31 |
| tseng | bluefoxicy: netdev-random touches every net driver | 06:31 |
| bluefoxicy | tseng: I noticed, I had to manually patch 3 | 06:31 |
| tseng | pretty darn intrusive | 06:31 |
| bluefoxicy | tseng: is there any other way to tell if it's coming from net | 06:32 |
| trulux | mdz: I've hacked out the behavior of libselinux and added a bootstrapping-capable package manager context setting helper that may help to avoid the dirty postinst hacks for dpkg | 06:33 |
| tseng | bluefoxicy: just by watching the pool and not doing anything else adding entropy afaik | 06:34 |
| trulux | mdz: I've sent it to Stephen (NSA) but dunno if it will get mainline | 06:34 |
| trulux | bluefoxicy: getting entropy from network devices is pretty a weak thing | 06:34 |
| tseng | its very effective, actually | 06:34 |
| trulux | bluefoxicy: don't bother with it, believe in me | 06:34 |
| tseng | just not that practical | 06:34 |
| tseng | in terms of maintainability | 06:35 |
| bluefoxicy | trulux: well, they're affected by the load on routers along the path, noise, cable run length, load on other servers, everything half the internet is doing | 06:35 |
| bluefoxicy | I'd consider that fairly difficult to reliably poison | 06:35 |
| trulux | bluefoxicy: the Linux TCP/IP stack is somewhat a predictable design and this has been demonstrated many times, but, I can admit that it may require many more skills and a deep study on how it works | 06:36 |
| bluefoxicy | tseng: reading from the soundcard's analog in is also neat, since you can never perfectly buff out the noise on the mic port. Audio-entropyd I think does that | 06:36 |
| trulux | it's like gathering entropy from the sound card | 06:36 |
| bluefoxicy | trulux: interrupt timing, hardware not software | 06:37 |
| trulux | would you trust in something that can get attached to a poisoned jack which sends a non-changing, repeated stream on a certan frequency which makes such amount of "true random" bits reallly true randomized? | 06:37 |
| bluefoxicy | heh | 06:37 |
| trulux | bluefoxicy: it's affected by software AFAIK :) | 06:37 |
| bluefoxicy | trulux: interrupts are hardware. They go through two interrupt chips that poke a port on your CPU | 06:38 |
| trulux | have in mind a thing, and don't forget it: if you guess just one bit of the entrop, then the rest is completely in compromise | 06:38 |
| trulux | the atacker should just greab a frozen seed of the compromised entropy and try to use it against the application at issue | 06:39 |
| trulux | the standard random.c gives a good quality PRNG | 06:39 |
| trulux | if you don't like it | 06:39 |
| Kamion | that kind of depends on the quality of the input hash used for the entropy pool, of course | 06:39 |
| trulux | let me know and I will port Fortuna CSRNG to latest sources | 06:39 |
| Kamion | one ought not to be able to use knowledge of the input to work out what's in the entropy pool unless one knows *all* the input | 06:40 |
| Kamion | (I don't know if Linux' entropy hash is actually good enough for that, though) | 06:40 |
| lamont | so if package A gets absorbed into package B, should package B provide: A? | 06:42 |
| trulux | yep | 06:42 |
| trulux | Kamion: Linux uses SHA1 | 06:42 |
| trulux | Fortuna is based on Schneier's CSRNG design, relies in SHA256 | 06:43 |
| trulux | (real) implementation from CyptoAPI | 06:43 |
| Kamion | it's not the SHA part that's important AFAIK, it's the CRC done when mixing input into the entropy pool | 06:45 |
| === abelli [~abelli@84.222.39.146] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | the comment in the kernel source says "This is not cryptographically strong, but it is adequate assuming the randomness is not chosen maliciously, and it is fast enough that the overhead of doing it on every interrupt is very reasonable." | 06:45 |

| pitti | ogra: but it looks much better now :-) | 06:47 |
| ogra | great.... just getting the mail...... | 06:48 |

| === wasabi upgrades Hoary and gnome-volume-manager crashes | ||
| wasabi | (probably cuz hal restarts) | 06:49 |
| ogra | wasabi: rather because it doesnt ;) | 06:50 |
| wasabi | Ahh. Well, something. ;) | 06:50 |
| pitti | ogra: why it shouldn't restart? | 06:50 |
| wasabi | THis has got me thinking about some way to mark packages which require you to be either "logged out" on installation, or similar. | 06:51 |
| wasabi | So that theydownload, but don't install until you log out. | 06:51 |
| pitti | wasabi: actually gvm should reconnect to a new hal | 06:51 |
| wasabi | Yeah, in this case yes. ;) | 06:51 |
| pitti | wasabi: in warty this "just works" | 06:51 |
| pitti | wasabi: but it obviously got broken in Hoary | 06:51 |
| ogra | pitti: if hal doesnt restart gvm will be left without backend....dont take me to serious ;) | 06:52 |
| wasabi | Well, I'd hate to have a user upgrade... like, gaim or something, because of a security bug, but never inform them that they need to close/reopen gaim for it to take effect. | 06:52 |
| wasabi | Since we never have to actually reboot Linux, nobody will. ;) | 06:52 |
| pitti | ogra: right, but usually it does restart and thus gvm is probably failing to reconnect | 06:52 |
| pitti | wasabi: hmm, usually I add a note to the USN if something needs to be restarted manually | 06:53 |
| pitti | wasabi: I probably forgot it in gaim, sorry | 06:53 |
| ogra | pitti: btw, HAL_INFO and HAL_ERROR are not available in my testbed code ;) thus i commented these out.... | 06:53 |
| wasabi | Naw, I'm just using it as an example. | 06:53 |
| pitti | ogra: why not? | 06:53 |
| wasabi | Does USN's pop up when you upgrade? | 06:53 |
| pitti | ogra: ./hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no | 06:53 |
| pitti | wasabi: no | 06:53 |
| wasabi | My mom doens't read them then | 06:53 |
| pitti | wasabi: they get filed to ubuntu-security-announce@list.u.c | 06:54 |
| pitti | :-) | 06:54 |
| wasabi | Actually. | 06:54 |
| pitti | wasabi: right, somehow this should be integrated | 06:54 |
| wasabi | She wouldn't read them even if they popped up. | 06:54 |
| wasabi | They woul dneed a "restart gaim now" button. | 06:54 |
| pitti | ;-) | 06:54 |
| wasabi | Like Windows has. =) | 06:54 |
| wasabi | "Restart Windows Now" | 06:54 |
| wasabi | hahah | 06:54 |
| pitti | wasabi: no, they would need a button "just click this unless you know what you are doing" :-) | 06:54 |
| wasabi | yeah | 06:54 |
| ogra | pitti: because i dont use hal for the basic development..... richard huges has a nice testbed that prints out the set_string and device valueshal would recieve andi save a lot of time only compiling 150 lines instead of the whole daemon | 06:55 |
| === mvo_ not that we have upgrade hooks now | ||
| Kamion | trulux: ah, interesting | 06:55 |
| pitti | ogra: why you want to compile the whole daemon? | 06:55 |
| pitti | ogra: caling make will just recompile the changed stuff | 06:55 |
| ogra | pitti: i will remove the comments in the real patch | 06:55 |
| pitti | ogra: ok | 06:55 |
| pitti | ogra: anyway, calling make in the build tree and executing hal there works fine | 06:55 |
| ogra | jup.... but i dont see hats going on .... as i do if the set_string or callout device just print to stdout | 06:56 |
| ogra | hats/whats | 06:56 |
| trulux | pitti: what's the current status of hardened kernels? | 06:57 |
| pitti | trulux: the current version works reasonably well; however, it does not ship any firmware images and vesa framebuffer breaks | 06:57 |
| ogra | pitti: just makes initial development easier.... later i only have to add the headers and HAL_ERR HAL_INFO | 06:57 |
| pitti | ogra: sure, that's fine :-) | 06:58 |
| ogra | pitti: stdin is not fds[0] ?? | 07:00 |
| pitti | ogra: no, when doing "int fds[2] " you must not access fds[2] | 07:00 |
| ogra | pitti: (Ahem. Womit fangen wir an zu zhlen? :-)) | 07:00 |
| pitti | ogra: yes, SCNR :-) I thought it would be obvious | 07:01 |
| ogra | h, ok... now i see it | 07:01 |

| bluefoxicy | :P | 07:10 |

| Kamion | such as locales | 07:10 |
| trulux | noy a good idea | 07:10 |
| trulux | :) | 07:10 |

| bluefoxicy | zenwhen: daed has a dual-opteron his boss bought him | 07:15 |
| pitti | ogra: hm, what do you mean? executing lsb_release does return to me... | 07:15 |
| bluefoxicy | he uses it for researching 3D graphics or something (i.e. he's writing his own 3D engine and it takes too long to compile on x86) | 07:15 |
| ogra | pitti: it should drop me at the prompt after all the strings are printed | 07:15 |
| pitti | ogra: right, works for me | 07:16 |
| bluefoxicy | anyway | 07:16 |
| ogra | pitti: as i said, i compile a single binary from the .c file which i run on the commandline.... normally the code returns after execution... but lsb_release_new hangs | 07:16 |
| pitti | ogra: strace it, where it hangs? | 07:17 |

| bluefoxicy | trulux: I like libsafe in conjunction with SSP, though the overhead may not be appropriate. I haven't had a chance to evaluate the overhead personally, but it's apparently "negligible". Etoh managed to make 8% out of it on a test SSP did 4% on though, so it's likely something like applying SSP ~3 times :) | 07:33 |

| sivang | carlos: hmm, hoary mega import? ;-) | 07:57 |
| carlos | sivang: working on it, yes | 07:58 |
| carlos | :-) | 07:58 |
| sivang | carlos: yay! | 07:59 |
| === pitti is back | ||
| pitti | carlos: the reason is that there are no pot files in the upstream source | 08:04 |
| pitti | carlos: there are only po files | 08:05 |
| pitti | carlos: I'm afraid you have to get along with that | 08:05 |
| carlos | pitti: and how do you get a .pot file when translating it into a new language? | 08:05 |
| pitti | sivang: I followup to the bug now | 08:05 |
| pitti | carlos: hmm, ask upstream? | 08:05 |
| pitti | carlos: I can look in the cvs, though | 08:05 |
| carlos | pitti: don't worry, will ignore postgres until I have time to look into it | 08:07 |
| carlos | pitti: I asked you because you work on its .deb package, in case you know how it works | 08:07 |
| sivang | pitti: thanks | 08:07 |
| carlos | don't lose your time with it, it's not a critical application to get translated | 08:07 |
| carlos | so it can wait | 08:07 |
| pitti | carlos: hmm, no pot in CVS either | 08:08 |
| carlos | that's normal, GNOME packages don't have it neither | 08:08 |
| carlos | pitti: but they create it on build time | 08:08 |

| sivang | pitti: ok, thanks | 08:17 |
| pitti | sivang: it just might look a little confusing | 08:17 |
| sivang | pitti: btw, I don't think I swapped the dsc's | 08:18 |
| pitti | sivang: since it has knobs for adjusting the value, which are just greyed out | 08:18 |
| pitti | sivang: are you sure that the value can't be changed in another way? | 08:18 |
| pitti | sivang: it would be nice to disable the uid changing code in addition, just to be sure | 08:18 |
| pitti | sivang: add comments signs around the code | 08:19 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: what other changes did you make to glibc than the multiarch patch? | 08:19 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: none | 08:20 |
| sivang | pitti: pretty much, I can unshow the widget all together if that's reasonable, I took that approach to differ as less as we can from upstream, but I can attempt remove the code form the frontend and the backend as well, but I don't think the uid can be changed that way unless someone fire up the backend by hand using it's new directive system. | 08:20 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: just added your dpatch, added it to 00list, added changelog | 08:20 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: however, I did not try to build it on i386 | 08:20 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: I used a powerpc chroot since I still have this with glibc from my previous upload | 08:20 |
| pitti | sivang: don't remove the code, just comment it out | 08:21 |
| pitti | sivang: well, and having a greyed out box which displays the uid is okay for me | 08:21 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: can you reproduce the FTBFS on i386? | 08:22 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: haven't tried yet. | 08:22 |

| amu | Kamion: thanks, and total size -50MB for d-i ? | 08:38 |
| Mithrandir | lamont: I agree to the parallell build thing; want to try a manual build with NJOBS set to 1? | 08:38 |
| pitti | sivang: again, your patch is wrong; it _removes_ the changelog entry and the patch; you have to do it the other way round | 08:39 |
| ogra | pitti: what kind of sync do you mean ? the child is called, drops its output to the parent and if nothing is in handle anymore the fgets while loop must end ... i dont see a sync problem there | 08:39 |
| sivang | pitti: ok, I'll switch it | 08:39 |
| Kamion | amu: that's at the end of the 'installer' output; 16MB for i386, but it's more like 34MB for powerpc so allow a bit more | 08:40 |
| sivang | pitti: yeah, noticed it now :-/ | 08:40 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: you're suggesting that I do that, or saying you will? | 08:40 |
| pitti | ogra: I had a similar problem when I did this for my "debcrash" project | 08:40 |
| pitti | ogra: I solved this with a timeout | 08:41 |
| ogra | hmm...weird | 08:41 |
| pitti | ogra: however, did it work with your old version with open/read? | 08:41 |
| Kamion | I should probably put germinate output up for all architectures | 08:41 |
| amu | Kamion: mdz: do we add theopencd packages to the CD's ? | 08:41 |
| ogra | pitti: sure | 08:41 |
| Mithrandir | lamont: suggesting you do it; I don't think I've got an account on any i386 buildd boxes. | 08:41 |
| Kamion | amu: we intend to for Ubuntu; I don't know what's happening for Kubuntu yet | 08:41 |
| Kamion | amu: we don't yet, though | 08:41 |
| ogra | pitti: but this code was quite ugly compared to the one i'm looking at | 08:41 |
| amu | Kamion: it rocks, i think it's a must to have it | 08:42 |
| pitti | ogra: yeah, that's why I wanted to use a line-reading function | 08:42 |
| pitti | ogra: I strongly suppose that your client does not recognize the EOF of the stream | 08:42 |
| pitti | ogra: does the child process terminate? | 08:42 |
| ogra | pitti: hmm, strace says yes: --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) | 08:44 |
| pitti | ogra: oh, that's interesting | 08:44 |
| Kamion | amu: seems to be a 107MB tarball at the moment (http://maitri.ubuntu.com/theopencd/ubuntu/winfoss/latest/), but Henrik said he could reduce that | 08:44 |
| ogra | pitti: and i saw a zombie this afternoon, remember ? | 08:45 |
| pitti | ogra: that was the parent process which did not wait for its child | 08:45 |
| pitti | ogra: you must call wait() somewhere in the parent | 08:45 |
| ogra | pitti: yeah, strace ends with: read(3, | 08:45 |
| ogra | and hangs there forever | 08:46 |
| ogra | pitti: ok | 08:46 |
| pitti | ogra: however, this is a bit tricky. You can't call it before fgets(), you must call wait() after the loop | 08:46 |
| sivang | pitti: ok, I fixed it http://muse.19inch.net/~sivan/g-s-t/sivan_uid_fix.diff | 08:47 |
| pitti | ogra: please try to use select() before attempting to fgets() | 08:47 |
| ogra | pitti: what about waitpid ? and getting the childs pid ? | 08:47 |
| pitti | ogra: not necessary, you only have one child | 08:48 |
| elmo | Kamion/mdz: that URL isn't permanent btw; you guys know that right? | 08:48 |
| elmo | kamion/mdz: also which machines in the DC will you need to download it from.. just little? | 08:48 |
| Kamion | elmo: he didn't say that, although I kind of assumed that it might change | 08:48 |
| Kamion | elmo: just little | 08:48 |
| Kamion | (as far as I know) | 08:48 |
| pitti | ogra: the "I evade the problem" solution is just to use a temporary file | 08:50 |
| pitti | ogra: or just read /etc/lsb-release | 08:50 |
| ogra | bah | 08:50 |
| pitti | ogra: the other solution is to use select with a reasonably long timeout before the first fgets() | 08:51 |
| pitti | ogra: and then select with a short timeout | 08:51 |
| elmo | Kamion: okay, done little, you'll need to let me know if you need it for any others | 08:51 |
| pitti | ogra: and stop reading from the pipe (and do wait()) if select times out | 08:51 |
| ogra | pitti: i like to solve problems, not to work around them ... if possible ;) | 08:51 |
| pitti | ogra: that worked for me, dunno if there is a better method | 08:51 |
| pitti | ogra: google may help, LDP has a nice book where IPC is explained | 08:52 |
| ogra | pitti: i'll try it... | 08:52 |
| ogra | pitti: i'm fine with man and info .... | 08:53 |
| pitti | ogra: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/tlk/ipc/ipc.html | 08:53 |
| pitti | ogra: bah, that's the wrong one, sorry | 08:53 |
| Kamion | elmo: OK, it's not something I'm likely to manage to get done until about next week anyway I suspect | 08:54 |
| ogra | pitti: but nice to have a list ofthe signals handy, thanks ;) | 08:54 |
| pitti | ogra: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lpg/node7.html#SECTION00700000000000000000 | 08:54 |
| pitti | ogra: wrt signals: signal(7) | 08:54 |
| mdz | elmo: what URL? | 08:57 |
| pitti | ogra: rather than fiddling with select(), can you please try to check feof before? | 08:57 |
| mdz | amu: we do not yet, but we will | 08:57 |
| ogra | pitti: yup | 08:57 |
| pitti | ogra: while (!feof(fd)) { fgets(...); ... } | 08:57 |
| pitti | ogra: btw, if anything helps, just use popen | 08:58 |
| ogra | lol | 08:58 |
| pitti | ogra: usually it should be avoided, but since you don't supply any variable parameters to it, it would work | 08:58 |
| ogra | pitti: so i needed 2 weeks of work to get back there ? no, never | 08:59 |
| pitti | ogra: but please try the feof() first :-) | 08:59 |
| elmo | mdz: the one for the opencd tar ball | 08:59 |
| ogra | pitti: i will do everything, but you wont see me using popen | 08:59 |
| pitti | ogra: nice :.-) | 09:00 |
| pitti | whoops, EBROKENSMILEY | 09:00 |
| ogra | heh | 09:00 |
| mdz | elmo: the one that henrik sent? | 09:00 |
| mdz | elmo: just little, yes | 09:01 |
| pitti | sivang: can I wait with uploading g-s-t until you fixed the sudo issue, too? | 09:01 |
| Treenaks | pitti: Invasion of the three-eyed smileys! | 09:01 |
| pitti | sivang: then we can do it in one shot | 09:01 |
| elmo | mdz: yeah, the reference to maitri has to go | 09:01 |
| pitti | mdz: thanks for fixing the hpoj script | 09:01 |
| pitti | mdz: nice to see it working :-) | 09:02 |
| mdz | pitti: with that patch, and a non-interactive postinst, it can go into supported | 09:02 |
| mdz | pitti: but I don't see much to be gained by putting it in desktop, since it doesn't work until you run the configuration tool :-/ | 09:03 |
| pitti | mdz: right | 09:03 |
| mdz | pitti: the autodetection that it does is quite smart, it might be possible to use it non-interactively | 09:03 |
| sivang | pitti: sure | 09:03 |

| mdz | Kamion: jdub and I disagree a bit on this particular point :-) | 09:50 |
| mdz | lamont: yes, note that the live seed will depend on language-support-en | 09:50 |

| lamont | mdz: ok - want me to remove that in this round? | 09:51 |

| luis_ | amu: ooh, awesome, thanks | 10:05 |
| jdub | ^ the # colour there is the background | 10:05 |
| mdz | jdub: remember that language packs have all of main in them, and we also would need to install language-support-XX | 10:06 |
| jdub | mdz: that's going to require a full rebuild... | 10:06 |
| Kamion | d'oh. apparently the answer is "just totally ignores it" | 10:07 |
| jdub | mdz: i'd hazard a guess that BigTen of main would be smaller than mo files in all livecd packages | 10:07 |
| mdz | Kamion: is there much point in germinating the live seed, since the live image builder doesn't use germinate? | 10:07 |
| Kamion | mdz: curiosity :-) | 10:07 |
| Kamion | mdz: also it's useful to give you size calculations | 10:07 |
| jdub | it's a good check to make sure live is a subset of supported | 10:08 |
| Kamion | that too | 10:08 |
| Kamion | I thought I did most of the work required to support this earlier this afternoon, but apparently I need to do some more to support disjoint seeds | 10:08 |
| Kamion | or, well, two seeds neither of which inherit from the other but which may expand to contain the same packages | 10:09 |
| Kamion | but I want to do this anyway because it makes germinate more general, which is a good thing | 10:09 |
| jdub | yes, the launchpad guys can look over your shoulder when they do it ;) | 10:10 |
| mdz | hmm, forgot to add ubuntu-live to the live seed, adding now | 10:10 |
| mdz | jdub: that's an easy hypothesis to test | 10:11 |
| Kamion | jdub: ... might have been a result of reviewing something the launchpad guys were doing, yes ... | 10:11 |

| jdub | d'oh | 10:14 |
| mdz | jdub: the language packs have, e.g. gcc translations in them | 10:14 |
| mdz | speaking of which...build-essential in the live seed? | 10:15 |
| jdub | yeah! | 10:15 |
| Kamion | make germinate CRY | 10:15 |
| jdub | one problem with having bigten installed by default | 10:15 |
| jdub | (install, not live) | 10:15 |
| jdub | is that locales regeneration is *insane* | 10:15 |

| mdz | Kamion: does that make germinate cry any more than language-pack-en? | 10:18 |
| mdz | er, s/pack/support/ | 10:18 |
| mdz | both l-s-en and build-essential are in ship already | 10:18 |
| Kamion | mdz: no (and don't worry about it, anyway, the bug needs to be fixed and good test cases won't do any harm) | 10:19 |
| luis_ | hrm | 10:19 |
| luis_ | jdub: any opinions on the advisability of modifying system-wide defaults v. putting things (like a .gconf dir) into /etc/skel/ for the livecd? | 10:20 |
| mdz | Kamion: does germinate-output/hoary obsolete germinate-hoary-output? | 10:20 |
| jdub | luis_: system wide defaults is cleaner and easier to understand later | 10:20 |
| luis_ | that was my initial thought | 10:21 |
| luis_ | but it seems like maintenance-wise, it'll be a bigger hassle | 10:21 |
| mdz | luis_: also consider that things in /etc/skel cost you memory and boot time when they are copied into the user's homedir, while system-wide defaults don't | 10:21 |
| Kamion | mdz: yes, germinate-hoary-output is a compatibility symlink to germinate-output/hoary | 10:22 |
| Kamion | I got fed up of the germinate-%s-output naming scheme | 10:22 |
| luis_ | mdz: ah, good point | 10:22 |
| mdz | Kamion: so it would be safe to update ubuntu-meta, debzilla, and whatever other places use that | 10:22 |
| luis_ | mdz: though at this point I've got like 20M of data files in /etc/skel/ so defaults probably don't matter too much | 10:22 |
| mdz | Kamion: (if you know others, tell me, I'm making a list) | 10:22 |
| mdz | luis_: eek! | 10:23 |
| jdub | luis_: (you should so symlink those) | 10:23 |
| luis_ | jdub: ooh | 10:23 |
| Kamion | mdz: er, I didn't know anything automatic used germinate-output! | 10:23 |
| Kamion | mdz: nothing should, since that output is only for i386 | 10:23 |
| luis_ | jdub: you are wise beyond your years | 10:23 |
| Kamion | mdz: ubuntu-meta only seems to use the seeds | 10:23 |
| jdub | luis_: s/years/ears/g | 10:23 |
| luis_ | (though really I haven't noticed that much startup penalty) | 10:23 |
| mdz | luis_: it is also perfectly valid to create /home/ubuntu on the cloop image | 10:23 |
| luis_ | jdub: also, mdz is wiser than you are | 10:24 |
| mdz | that whole /etc/skel thing is pretty crack, actuaally, and I had been meaning to remove it from the howto | 10:24 |
| amu | luis_: heh | 10:24 |
| mdz | Kamion: ah, right; debzilla does use it though | 10:24 |
| mdz | Kamion: and so its ideas about non-i386 are probably skewed | 10:24 |
| luis_ | amu- so, I've been really, really busy and totally focused on just getting this done for LWE | 10:24 |
| luis_ | amu: after I've burned it I'll write you an email describing everything I've done and we'll see how we can go about getting it merged into gnoppix, or whether or not that makes sense even | 10:25 |
| Kamion | mdz: eek, OK, should I give you multi-architecture output? | 10:25 |
| mdz | luis_: Kamion is the person to talk to about setting the default language | 10:25 |
| Kamion | mdz: if so, leave the link alone for now and I'll make it keep pointing to i386 | 10:25 |
| mdz | Kamion: maybe; doesn't seem particularly urgent, though | 10:25 |
| Kamion | booting with preseed/locale=<locale> should set the language | 10:26 |
| Kamion | assuming I haven't broken localechooser recently :) | 10:26 |
| mdz | is there a way to read preseed stuff from a file on the CD as well? | 10:26 |
| mdz | "create /path/to/foo" is preferable to "edit isolinux/isolinux.cfg, add this parameter" | 10:26 |
| mdz | for cut-and-pasteability | 10:27 |
| seb128 | elmo: have you synced evince this afternoon ? | 10:27 |
| Kamion | yes, put the file on the CD and boot with preseed/file=/cdrom/foo/bar/baz | 10:27 |
| jdub | luis_: in future, our configuration changes will be defaults files | 10:27 |
| jdub | luis_: so that'll make life easier | 10:27 |
| mdz | Kamion: bleah ;-) | 10:27 |
| amu | luis_: cool, if we can merge, it will make the things easier ;) | 10:27 |
| Kamion | the file should look like 'd-i preseed/locale string en_GB.UTF-8' or similar | 10:28 |
| amu | luis_: guess you didnt build debs? | 10:28 |
| Kamion | mdz: consider that you can put preseed/file in isolinux.cfg once and never change it again | 10:28 |
| Kamion | as in, *we* can put preseed/file in isolinux.cfg | 10:28 |
| mdz | Kamion: does it DTRT if the file is missing? | 10:28 |
| === sri [[GxEPHwSvT@onyx.spiritone.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| sri | hi all | 10:28 |
| Kamion | mdz: think so; if not we can always make the file be present but blank | 10:29 |
| luis_ | amu: no, I've never built a deb in my life and this week didn't seem a good time to start :) | 10:29 |
| sri | following up on my problem I've been having with my X cursor that I started having last week. | 10:29 |
| mdz | Kamion: does kickstart by any chance have a parameter which specifies the default system runlevel? | 10:29 |
| mdz | I implemented that in casper recently, and it deserves to be more generic if something else can use it | 10:29 |
| sri | so currently, I kind have gotten xcursor somewhat working with ximian artwork | 10:29 |
| amu | luis_: feel free and build rpm's alien convert them into deb *ducks* | 10:29 |
| sri | however, some stuff like the icon for drag doesn't show up | 10:29 |
| luis_ | haha | 10:30 |
| Kamion | mdz: s/kickstart/preseed/ | 10:30 |
| luis_ | never built an rpm either :) | 10:30 |
| sri | and if I set it up such that I use default it's really awful (box wtih black and transparent lines) | 10:30 |

| Kamion | mdz: oh, you actually do mean kickstart, sorry :) | 10:30 |
| sri | so I'm kinda mystified now. :/ | 10:30 |
| Kamion | mdz: no, it doesn't | 10:30 |
| mdz | Kamion: I actually meant kickstart in context, as in: would you have to implement this anyway in order to support compatibility with kickstart | 10:30 |
| sri | any ideas? I got the latest update from today | 10:30 |
| Kamion | mdz: yeah, that just occurred to me, sorry | 10:30 |
| mdz | ok, just another lonely casper hack then :-) | 10:31 |
| amu | luis_: ;-) | 10:31 |
| sri | one other question, how do I get xorg to just use the built in default? | 10:31 |
| mdz | doko: python2.4-minimal should not be essential | 10:32 |
| mdz | only python-minimal | 10:32 |
| mdz | doko: please fix | 10:32 |
| mdz | hmm, probably away/asleep, will file bug | 10:34 |
| Kamion | should be fixed immediately, I don't think dpkg forgets the essential flag once it's seen it once? | 10:34 |
| Kamion | could be wrong, but | 10:34 |
| sivang | pitti: If I am to comment the code of the uid change, I would take out the ability to set it up even when creating a new user, there is a way in the code to check if A user is new or old, so I will use that instead, ok? | 10:35 |

| mjt | ok, so it seems quite alot of ppl are having probs with MD5Sum mismatches when apt-get update'ing hoary | 10:54 |
| mdz | mjt: that usually means that they got Release from one mirror and Packages from another | 10:56 |
| mjt | "usually" does not apply in this case ;) | 10:56 |
| mdz | mjt: ? | 10:57 |
| mjt | take a look into #ubuntu | 10:57 |
| mjt | i *know* i specified all that stuff correctly | 10:57 |
| mjt | on my machine anyway | 10:57 |
| mdz | I didn't say that you specified it incorrectly | 10:57 |
| Kamion | mjt: think round-robin DNS | 10:58 |
| seb128 | mdz: that happens here too, and I've only archive in my sources.list | 10:58 |
| mjt | host archive.ubuntu.com | 10:58 |
| mjt | archive.ubuntu.com has address 82.211.81.138 | 10:58 |

| Kamion | yeah, fails on amd64 now too | 11:03 |

| jdub | tried straw? | 11:45 |
| shaya | no | 11:45 |
| shaya | doesn't seem to be in ubuntu | 11:46 |
| Mithrandir | straw scrolls the item window to the top when the feed is refreshed. | 11:46 |
| thom | i like the "not sucking" part of planet, which is somewhat lacking from every other linux rss reader | 11:46 |
| mdz | Kamion: mind if I make the apt-setup template change I just suggested on the list, or would you rather do it? | 11:46 |
| shaya | thom: thunderbird is the best one I've used | 11:46 |
| Mithrandir | thom: doesn't have any feed priority thingy | 11:46 |
| jdub | shaya: make a hep account and use rss by imap in evolution :) | 11:46 |
| thom | shaya: i think you're making my point for me :-) | 11:46 |
| Mithrandir | which means news sites which get 60-ish stories a day would dominate. | 11:46 |
| Mithrandir | shaya: chunderbird is kinda crackful. | 11:47 |
| shaya | hep account? | 11:47 |
| jdub | google for hep | 11:47 |
| shaya | hmm | 11:48 |
| shaya | hep is interesting | 11:48 |
| shaya | packaged for ubuntu? | 11:48 |
| jdub | no | 11:48 |
| jdub | you can just create a hep accountv | 11:48 |
| jdub | on the demo site | 11:48 |
| jdub | but it shouldn't be hard to use on ubuntu | 11:48 |
| jdub | if you want to run it locally | 11:48 |
| shaya | demo site? | 11:49 |
| Mithrandir | rss2email too; I'm considering setting it up and just dropping it in some maildir | 11:49 |
| shaya | anyways | 11:49 |
| shaya | time for a 90 minute showing of new stargate sg1 episode | 11:49 |
| enrico | Hello. I did cat /etc/debian-version on Hoary and it says "3.1". Is that intended? And is there a way to detect what is the ubuntu version? | 11:53 |
| dholbach | enrico: cat /etc/lsb-release | 11:54 |
| enrico | dholbach: thanks! | 11:54 |
| dholbach | enrico: grep DISTRIB_RELEASE /etc/lsb-release | sed 's/DISTRIB_RELEASE=//g' :-) | 11:55 |
| enrico | oh. Debian doesn't have /etc/lsb-release... | 11:55 |
| === dholbach already did that just today :-) | ||
| === jordi is being interviewed about Ubuntu. Dunno why me, but anyway, I think I can answer these without saying too much nonsense. | ||
| jdub | jordi: when they ask "who is your daddy?" the correct answer is "mako" | 11:59 |
| jordi | jdub: :) | 11:59 |
