haggaiYokoZar: I'm really sorry, I'm just winding down for the evening.  I need to review your work and I can't do that before Monday12:27
YokoZarAww...  Is the key signing thing a possibility though?  12:27
haggaiYokoZar: the holdup is in reviewing those changes for universe, signing an upload circumvents that12:31
YokoZarOh yeah, heh.  Just thinking ahead, though :)  I suppose in the meantime I can write that scrollkeeper OMF file for Wine I've been meaning to.12:31
haggaiYokoZar: keysigning is for proving your identity (ie meeting face to face) and isn't used to grant upload permissions12:33
=== haggai yawns and goes to bed, wishing YokoZar lots of fun with OMF files
jdubYokoZar: is it still one monolithic package?12:34
=== jdub steals haggai's pants
YokoZarAhh, ok.  That means I'll need to take quite a drive down to the next LUG meeting, or grab some ID scans in the mail, heh12:34
YokoZarjdub: It's split into wine and wine-dev (headers/includes)12:35
jdubYokoZar: as well as libwine*, wine-doc, etc?12:35
haggaijdub: now how am I gonna upload the new oo2 without any pants?12:36
jdubfreely :-)12:36
YokoZarjdub: No, much of that splitting in the debian packages was both unneeded (Wine can autodetect most of its sound servers), confusing (the package didn't depend on them) and broken (Wine gets confused if it's missing files it always expects to have)12:37
jdubYokoZar: splitting the libraries is very important12:37
jdubYokoZar: splitting out the sound server stuff means you're not stuck with unnecessary depends (arts!)12:37
jdub(jack!)12:37
jdubprobably best to start with the debian layout and fix the problems12:38
YokoZarI tried that, but there were so many archaic hacks and stuff in the code that it really was causing more problems than it was worth. I understand the importance of splitting libs, but the libwine library can really only be used by Wine and the wineserver12:38
jdubit does need to be split, though12:39
YokoZarThe files that were once included in the libwine-sound* packages are no longer really even seperable from Wine - it's hardly even any space saved12:40
YokoZarjdub: It's impossible to run winelib-compiled files without the wine binaries though.  In effect everything would be in the libwine package.12:41
jdubYokoZar: no, libwine would depend on wine :)12:41
=== jdub upgrades to the latest wine, checks it out
YokoZarWell, ok then.  But having two packages depend on eachother is more or less the same thing as a monolithic package, no?12:42
jdubYokoZar: like libhowl requires mdnsresponder to work, so it depends on it12:42
jdubYokoZar: no12:42
YokoZarHow's it different if they'll always be installed (and upgraded) together?12:42
jdubmeans you can track library changes more sanely12:43
jdubworth reading debian policy on this12:43
YokoZarI have.  The trouble is that different winelib compiled programs (of which we don't yet have any...) all need to run off the same library through the same wine binary and the same wineserver - the normal differentiation you can get with different soname versions for different software just doesn't happen12:44
jdubthere doesn't seem to be any depends12:45
YokoZarIt's almost like a kernel/module type thing rather than a library.12:45
YokoZarWine doesn't really have any hard dependencies other than I guess glibc.  It can run in an X-less server terminal for DOS console apps, heh.12:46
jdubbut there are also no suggests...12:46
jdubor recommends...12:46
YokoZarWhoops, I probably wanted to put winetools into suggests.  Msttcorefonts should be in suggests already12:48
jdubyeah12:48
jdubso the big problem here12:48
jdubis that this is a significant package fork from debian12:48
jdubwhich we'll have to maintain indefinitely12:48
jdubunless we rejoin12:48
jdubwe're hoping to avoid a lot of that12:49
ajmitchogra: ping12:49
ograajmitch: pong12:49
ajmitchogra: see post on planet.debian.net on ubuntu & debian (3rd from top)12:49
jdubyeah12:50
YokoZarjdub: Correct, it is different, but it wasn't done without reason.  I'm willing to maintain it. We had to fork the package for some very good reasons, one of which was the outdatedness and presence of many old hacks in the Debian ones.  We were getting _many_ support requests in the user channel, email lists, and newsgroup all related to the weird brokenness of the Debian ones.  Our first support question became "Are you a Debian user?  12:50
ograajmitch: ouch12:51
ajmitchyeah, we need to do something about tracking changes I think12:52
jdubYokoZar: the old hacks let you upgrade sanely12:52
ograajmitch: hmm, but that change was senseless for debian...12:52
jdubYokoZar: so we fix the problems with the current packages and contribute them back12:52
ajmitchI think he was talking about the other changes aside from the build-depends12:52
YokoZarjdub: I'm talking about old hacks like changes to Wine's sourcecode that were breaking things upstream, heh.12:52
ograajmitch: it was my change12:53
ajmitchmaybe this is something that we have to do when malone is usable for universe12:53
ajmitchogra: that's why I pinged you :)12:53
jdubYokoZar: so we fix the problems12:54
jdubYokoZar: far cheaper to do that than maintain a fork12:54
ajmitcham I allowed to upload new upstream versions of my apps, or should I ask for a sync?12:55
YokoZarNot for me it wasn't.  Maintaining my Wine package has been only a couple hours of work or so every month.  Trying to get the obstinate Debian maintainer to write/commit patches himself, on the other hand, was an exercise in futility.12:56
=== rcliii [~rcliii@c-24-10-179-112.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
YokoZarI wouldn't even be consdering doing the Ubuntu MOTU route unless things were practically impossible in breaking through Debian beaurocracy.12:57
jdubYokoZar: yes, those aren't going to be problems12:57
jdubYokoZar: but maintaining a significant package for is something to be avoided12:58
YokoZarTrue.  Frankly, things would be a lot easier if I were the Debian maintainer (packages would certainly be released within days, rather than months), but as long as Debian gives its maintainers total control over their packages and allows them to block the work of others (say, me), it's jut not going to happen.12:59
jdubit can happen in ubuntu01:00
jdubthat's what we're here for01:00
YokoZarAnd that's why I've fallen in love with Ubuntu, and want to contribute Wine to it :)01:02

jbaileymjg59: auto-filling the resume field?03:15
jbaileymjg59: Err.03:15
mjg59jbailey: On install, at least03:15
mjg59Ideally on upgrade03:15
mjg59But install has to have it03:15
jbaileyI thought that the kernel automatically DTRT when there was only one swap partition.03:15
mjg59Nope03:17
ajmitchafternoon jbailey  :)03:17
mjg59Unless there's a resume= line, it won't resume03:17

jbaileyI was going by what mdz had said.03:17
jbaileyS3 works on my laptop now, so I never bothered with the rest of it.03:17
mjg59jbailey: Suspend will work without a resume parameter, but I don't think resume will03:18

jbaileyAs a certified sexual educator, I recommend it.03:23
mjg59jbailey: Ok, just let me regenerate my initrd and test this03:23
mjg59But if there's no resume entry on the kernel command line and no RESUME in the initrd conf, what's it going to echo into /sys/power/resume ?03:24
mjg59Mm. If $resume isn't set, it won't try to resume (and we'll just end up with a useless swap partition)03:26
jbaileyI'm just trying to find where mdz claimed it did it automatically.03:28
mjg59jdub: Feature request for the screensaver:03:29

=== wasabi [~wasabi@c-24-1-67-127.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jbaileyThat's gotta be a bitch to guarantee.03:31
mjg59Yeah. The installer makes bigger swap partitions on laptops by default now.03:31
jbaileyI'm thinking even making sure they're not using all of the swap.03:32
jdubmjg59: elite03:32
jdubmjg59: "size of memory"?03:32
ajmitchodd, I get unable to mount root device with the latest live cd03:32
mjg59jbailey: In general, there's so much cache that it's not an issue03:32
mjg59But yes, we can't guarantee it. Which is a bitch.03:32
jbaileyIs the right thing on laptops to have a spare swap partition just for suspending?03:33
jdubwould be ideal to use a swap file03:33
jbaileyOh generate one on a loopback device or something?03:33
jbaileys/Oh/Or/03:33
jbaileyjdub++03:34
jdubloopback? ouch :)03:34
mjg59swsusp2 has swapfile support, but it's nasty03:34
jbaileyjdub: Dude, it's been a long time since I had a swap"file" =)03:34
mjg59You need to be able to find the start of the swapfile without mounting the filesystem03:34
jbaileyAnd I imagine it has to be contiguous.03:34
mjg59Easiest is probably a list of block offsets dumped in swap...03:35
jbaileyAlthough grub and such can find the file for you.03:35
jbaileyHow does the resume process actually work?03:35
jdubmjg59: could grub store it?03:35
jbaileyDoes the kernel just detect that there's an image to resume when you poke the magic into /sys/power/resume ?03:36
jdub/sys/power/resume doesn't seem to exist on the laptop i just switched off03:37
jdub;)03:37
=== jbailey tosses jdub a nickel

jdub:-)03:38
danielsjbailey: he spent plenty of those, and got a dell.  can't legislate against bad taste.03:38
jdubstfu!03:39
mjg59jbailey: The kernel reads the start of the partition that you shove in there, and if it's got the right signature resumes from it03:39
mjg59Oh, that's true. grub ought to be able to pass an offset to the kernel.03:39
jbaileyShould it need it?03:39
jbaileyAt that point, you presumably have drivers and such loaded.03:39
jbaileyMount the partition read only and just get the swapfile information then.03:40
mjg59You can't mount the partition read onkly03:40
mjg59Remember, it hasn't been cleanly unmounted. If the kernel mounts it, it'll play back the journal.03:41
jbaileyUgh, yeah.03:41

ajmitchah yes :)07:59
ajmitchI'm moving my laptop to LVM & installing hoary07:59

mdzKamion: cool08:01
herzimantiena-baltix: i use it as a development platform with bleeding edge gnome technology08:01
mantiena-baltixherzi, cool, which technology ?08:03
ajmitchmdz: you've changed the ramdisk on the livecd recently, right? kernel can't mount root fs here08:03
sabdflmjg59: RESUME should be the swap partition?08:04
mjg59sabdfl: Yup08:04
mjt..and it can't work when swap is in a file, not in a raw partition.. ;)08:04
mjg59I've been talking to Jeff about this - it ought to be done automatically on install in the next version08:04
mjt(there where so much talks about "we don't need swap partitions anymore" ;)08:05
mdzajmitch: the ramdisk used on the daily live CD is built from scratch each day08:06
mdzajmitch: Kamion made some changes to the way it is built yesterday08:06
mjg59sabdfl: If you're running Hoary and have RESUME set (and a ramdisk generated after it's been set), Fn+F12 should suspend to disk08:07
sabdflmjg59: i'll test it now. last time i tried it seemed to work at going to sleep, but then booted the normal way08:07
mdzajmitch: what kind of hardware, and how much RAM?08:08
ajmitchmdz: x86 laptop, 128MB RAM08:08
ajmitchand same in qemu08:09
sabdflmjg59: why can't it automatically find the swap partition in /etc/fstab? or from the running kernel?08:09
mjg59sabdfl: On wakeup, it can't read any of your files, otherwise it'll alter the disk state08:10
mdzajmitch: does it work if you specify ramdisk_size=65536?08:10
ajmitchmdz: I'll give it a go if I can recall all the other kernel options08:10
mjg59Then it'll put your old memory contents back, you'll have an inconsistent view of the disk and get filesystem corruption08:10
mdzajmitch: you don't need them all; it appends08:10
ajmitchok08:10
mjg59What /could/ be done would be to write a new grub setup on suspend08:10
mdz"live ramdisk_size=65536"08:10
sabdflah. you're going to make my skull explode.08:11
ajmitchmdz: that works fine in qemu, testing on laptop now08:11
mdzstrange08:12
mdzI tested the current settings on my laptop, and they worked fine08:12
mdzit's packed up at the moment, though, so I can't test on it08:13
ajmitch64MB ramdisk works on the laptop08:13
mdzajmitch: can you try ramdisk_size=524288?08:14

ajmitchhmm, doesn't look like it picked up the nic08:17
mdzanything else?  Colin allowed the set of installer modules on the live CD to be more minimal08:19
ajmitchnot sure08:19
mdzso casper's dependencies need to be more accurate08:19
mdzI've added configured-network08:19
ajmitchthe cd sounds like it's about to self-destruct08:19
ajmitchthe laptop has wireless & a 3com card, both modules are loaded but dhcp is only tried on wireless08:19
ajmitchwireless needs a WEP key before it can do anything on this network08:20
mdzoh, maybe configured-network isn't the problem, then08:20
mdzhave you tested a Hoary live CD on this system before?08:21
ajmitchnope08:21
mdzoh08:21
mdzwell this is an awkward one to try, then :-)08:21
ajmitchit takes too long to rsync usually :)08:21
mdzwe just changed a couple of major things yesterday08:21
ajmitchI've got one from last week I can burn08:21
ajmitchs/last week/jan 3108:22
mdzajmitch: if the last one you tried was from January, the live CD has been adapted to be much more rsyncable since then08:22
mdzthough, if you don't rsync for a few days, it builds up08:22
ajmitchon a 128Kbps line it still can take a little while08:22
mdzI suppose so08:22
ajmitchI appreciate what you've done to make it rsyncable though08:22
mdzplease file a bug about the interface thing08:25

diegoit doesn't do that anymore, now when i boot it says the filesystem is corrupt and i need to run something with --rebuild-tree09:05
mjg59edd: Ok, that's a known issue. Next upload of acpi-support ought to fix that (acpid has support now)09:06
mjg59If you're running latest hoary, then:09:06
eddmjg59: on the vaio, no i've got a version of jdmouse to pick up the key combo and run the sleep.sh script09:07
eddmjg59: yes, the tosh is running hoary09:07
mjg59Oh, argh. Hang on, I don't have the right machine booted. Anyway, if you run strings over acpid then it'll have the name of a lock file - touch the lock file at the start of suspend, and remove it at the end of resume (and get rid of the acpid start/stop stuff)09:07
mjg59edd: sonypi loads ok on your machine?09:07
