| jbailey | Mithrandir, ogra: Are you guys setting policy on what to do if a package in Universe is unrelated to the package in Debian? We may have some Jav aones that fall into that category, since our Java policy is slightly different. | 12:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Mithrandir | jbailey: yes, basically. And also whether we want that at all to happen | 12:17 |
| ogra | jbailey: i think in case of java its slightly different (based on the policy difference), but similar.... | 12:18 |
| jbailey | It's not hard to imagine a case where an MOTU isn't involved with Debian at all and uploads a package to universe and someone independantly packages it for Debian later, though. | 12:20 |
| Mithrandir | true enough | 12:20 |
| YokoZar | jbailey: this is actually highly likely, since it is really hard to get into Debian compared with Ubuntu | 12:21 |
| ogra | YokoZar: but DDs could pick your ubuntu package for a base of their packages.... | 12:22 |
| ogra | s/for/as | 12:22 |
| jbailey | ogra: But there's no requirement on that side that they do so. They might not even be aware that the package is in Ubuntu. | 12:23 |
| YokoZar | Not just on a user level but a developer level as well. There's a very long process for getting a package into Debian, and it's impossible to do if there's an obstinate maintainer blocking your work for some unexplained reason. | 12:23 |
| ogra | jbailey: yup | 12:23 |
| jbailey | Yeah. More than one name pops into mind of someone who's packages I would love to redo sanely. =) | 12:23 |
| === lamont notices that not only is it not snowing nor raining out side, it's clear up > 10 deg C. back in about 20 minutes | ||
| YokoZar | Going through the Debian Intent to package, social contract, security signing, peer review, community application and such (provided there's no maintainer controlling your package already) is much harder than making a simple working package and forwarding it to Ogra :) | 12:24 |
| YokoZar | lamont: it was raining in Mojave yesterday. | 12:25 |
| lamont | which means it'll possibly rain here tomorrow. ok | 12:25 |
| ogra | YokoZar: true :) | 12:25 |
| jbailey | YokoZar: The current process does put alot more onus on the sponsors, but I'm already really strict for people whsoe packages I sponsor. Not a big deal. =) | 12:27 |
| YokoZar | It does illustrate that the system heavily depends on the Debian maintainers still. And when they're not updating packages, or there are significant usability problems with the ones they have (Wine), people like me are put in a bit of a bind. | 12:28 |
| daniels | lamont: you want to claim 6841? :) | 12:29 |
| ogra | YokoZar: no, your ptroblem isnt that you provide newer or up to date packages, but you step away from a given scheme where users, devs and apps may rely on.... | 12:30 |
| === jinty [~jinty@115.Red-80-24-9.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| YokoZar | ogra: True. But it is backwards compatible | 12:33 |
| ogra | YokoZar: does it provide libwine-jack, -alsa, -capi, -print, -nas, -arts etc. ? | 12:34 |
| YokoZar | Yeah. Wine automagically detects all that stuff now, and seperating it out just created confusion. This was the consensus among the wine devs too - we were having way too many problems with Debian users with incomplete packages asking for support | 12:35 |
| YokoZar | It only saved like 20k of space by not having some of those drivers included (sometimes it wasn't even a savings of space, due to the changelog files) | 12:36 |
| === mpt_newjersey [~mpt@dynamic-oit-pu-dormnet-bb-b-14.Princeton.EDU] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | YokoZar: so what about a package we eagerly want in ubuntu that was written for debian and that heavily depends on libwine-capi ? | 12:36 |
| ogra | (a hypothetic one) | 12:37 |
| YokoZar | There are no packages like that though. libwine-capi is included in wine now anyway. There are also no current packages which depend on libwine, and due to all the changes we're going through with Wine (like removing the configuration file) there's a need to upgrade wine anyway | 12:38 |
| YokoZar | All the libwine-capi file is is Ove seperating out the 20k or so Capi driver into a seperate package, so that Wine will fail mysteriously when a program calls for it and a user doesn't have it. | 12:38 |

| smurfix | Yep | 10:03 |
| ogra | you see me impressed :) | 10:03 |
| dholbach | cool | 10:03 |
| pitti | smurfix: is there any way to display the selected keyboard layout after your guesstimator has finished? | 10:04 |
| pitti | smurfix: so far I verified the choice only by typing some keys in a dialog box | 10:04 |
| smurfix | Yeah, go back and go to keyboard selection again | 10:05 |
| smurfix | The currently-chosen keyboard is on top | 10:05 |
| pitti | ah, ok | 10:05 |
| pitti | I actually tried that :-) | 10:05 |
| pitti | but I wasn't sure whether this was adapted, since German was my default choice anyway | 10:05 |
| pitti | smurfix: cool, thanks | 10:05 |

| pitti | Hi sivang | 10:10 |
| pitti | Kamion: mdz asked me to remove raidtools2 from heartbeat, to allow raidtools2 demotion to universe | 10:10 |
| pitti | Kamion: however, raidtools2 is in the installer seed as well. Will you handle this? | 10:10 |

| sivang | pitti: yes :) | 10:38 |
| Kamion | mako: back now | 10:40 |
| Kamion | pitti: let me do some grepping | 10:40 |
| aj | Kamion: mako's asleep :) | 10:40 |
| pitti | Kamion: I looked at http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/germinate-hoary-output/all | 10:40 |
| Kamion | aj: I figure even with a 12-hour time lag we can probably manage to have a conversation eventually | 10:41 |
| pitti | Kamion: I uploaded a new heartbeat, so the only thing that holds raidtools2 is the installer seed | 10:41 |
| aj | Kamion: pretty robust protocol you've got there | 10:41 |
| Kamion | pitti: yeah, just trying to work out if and where it's actually used | 10:42 |
| pitti | ah, ok | 10:42 |
| Kamion | is raidtools2 older/newer than mdadm? | 10:43 |
| Mithrandir | older | 10:44 |
| Kamion | ok | 10:45 |
| pitti | Kamion: I think mdadm is the way to the future | 10:45 |
| pitti | Kamion: personally I like it much better than the raidtools | 10:45 |
| Kamion | no references to it in d-i, I'll kill it | 10:45 |
| pitti | yay | 10:45 |
| pitti | Kamion: do you already use mdadm to configure raid parititons? | 10:46 |
| pitti | partitions, even | 10:46 |
| Kamion | pitti: yes | 10:48 |
| Kamion | mdcfg does so | 10:48 |

| pitti | hehe | 11:32 |
| pitti | thom: I just remembered the other CAN issue which you missed because I didn't reassign the bug to you | 11:32 |
| thom | i was so tempted to reassign it back with some snide comment about how the security team were more suitable for doing the work | 11:33 |
| pitti | thom: this does not imply that you should fix it for Warty right now :-) | 11:34 |
| mjg59 | thom: Sounds reasonable | 11:37 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: have you seen http://www.navsys.org/ngpsd/ ? | 11:37 |
| Mithrandir | lamont: I guess it doesn't make much sense to set up a buildd on the sparc box I have? | 11:39 |
| Treenaks | Mithrandir: yeah, and it looks dead | 11:40 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: drop the admin a mail and ask what's up? | 11:40 |

| thom | mjg59: also, we need to find a way of getting the X user which doesn't suck | 12:04 |
| pitti | ogra: instead of wrapping the uuencoded pngs into a debian patch, why don't you just ship them in debian/ and install them from there? | 12:04 |
| ogra | diff doesnt like binary files | 12:05 |
| pitti | ogra: no, I mean keep them uuencoded | 12:05 |
| thom | ogra: still uuencoded | 12:05 |
| pitti | ogra: but just add the files to debian/ | 12:05 |
| ogra | ah, ok | 12:05 |
| pitti | ogra: and just uudecode -o build-tree/foo < debian/foo.png.uuencoded | 12:05 |

| pitti | ogra: also, you should Suggest: hwdb-client | 12:12 |
| ogra | yup | 12:12 |
| pitti | ogra: btw, will hwdb-client be fully functional with Hoary? | 12:12 |
| ogra | i hope so :) | 12:12 |
| pitti | ogra: I just tried it, does it already send data to us? | 12:12 |
| pitti | ogra: I mean, we should not add this patch to hal if the client is not ready | 12:12 |
| ogra | but at least it will collct and send until horay... | 12:12 |
| ogra | which was the main goal.... | 12:13 |
| pitti | ogra: fadein and fadeout are certainly the most critical functions :-) | 12:15 |

| pitti | Morning carlos | 12:15 |
| ogra | hehe.... hwdb-gui was the first thing i wrote.... i was still playing at this time .... | 12:15 |
| mjg59 | thom: Something like that. It's a bit of a pain. | 12:15 |
| carlos | morning | 12:15 |
| ogra | pitti: but -gui shall become a generic xml viewer with some easy scripting functions in hoary+1, so it can be used by other projects to provide a constant look and feel | 12:16 |
| pitti | ogra: oh, cool | 12:17 |
| pitti | ogra: but sending will definitively work for hoary, so we can apply the hal patch (and commit to the functionality) | 12:17 |
| thom | mjg59: indeed | 12:17 |
| ogra | yup....http://www.grawert.net/hwdb_schema.png (hwdb-send will just be a 10 liner doing a http-post) | 12:18 |
| pitti | ogra: nice pic :-) | 12:19 |
| ogra | pitti: -qa is the big part thats still missing....but it should work without it anyway... | 12:19 |
| ogra | pitti: so i can guarantee the collection at least, which is the most important thing to do | 12:19 |
| pitti | ogra: will hwdb go into main? | 12:21 |
| pitti | ogra: if so, you should recommend it instead of suggest | 12:21 |
| pitti | ogra: or even better, it should be in ship seed | 12:22 |
| ogra | okay...i think its planned to get it into main | 12:22 |

| Mithrandir | I'm also part of our computer club CERT, so I should probably be a good example. :) | 12:58 |
| lamont | mind you, it was a surprise to the owner after two handsoffs.. | 12:58 |

| lamont | stanford CERT owned the box | 12:58 |
| Mithrandir | *chuckle*. I'm sure they were happy about that, then. | 12:58 |
| === Mithrandir kicks libtool | ||
| lamont | their rep left, and the recipient left the department within 6 months. about 6 month's after _that_, I had login problems (kerberos update missed that box)... Was news to the new rep that she even _owned_ the box, let alone that I had a root account on it | 01:00 |
| Mithrandir | yay for good security :) | 01:00 |
| lamont | the machine was a mail forwarder outside their firewall | 01:00 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: what's a good way to go about debugging the multiarched libtool? | 01:01 |
| Keybuk | libtool --debug ... | 01:02 |
| Keybuk | (which is really cunningly implemented, _oh_yes_) | 01:02 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: the best way I've found is to beg/plead/trick someone who knows libtool into doing it for you. :-) Chocolate sometimes works. | 01:03 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: the test suite fails, and I want to look at exact what fails about it. | 01:04 |
| Keybuk | which tests fail? | 01:07 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: demo-make.test (multiple times), depdemo-make.test (multiple times), pdemo-make.test, mdemo2-make.test | 01:17 |
| Keybuk | then you've quite majorly broken it :) | 01:19 |
| Mithrandir | I haven't touched it, I've just recompiled it in a multiarch environment | 01:20 |
| Keybuk | probably needs to support it | 01:21 |
| Mithrandir | it already has support for a search path -- why can't just that be used? | 01:21 |
| Keybuk | it does | 01:21 |
| Mithrandir | where do I even start debugging this? | 01:22 |
| Keybuk | run the tests in verbose mode, read the logs, see what fails | 01:22 |
| Keybuk | create your own test bits of code, run libtool over them, see what it does and make sure it's right | 01:22 |
| Keybuk | run libtool in debug mode to trace where things go wrong | 01:22 |
| Keybuk | fix it | 01:22 |
| Keybuk | (basically the usual way) | 01:22 |

| zul | seb128: we might have a solution turns inotify when only asked at boot | 03:17 |
| zul | if we upload a package without inotify then we would have to bump the abi again | 03:18 |
| seb128 | just asking because that's annoying users for sure | 03:18 |

| tseng | yeah I refrained from advising someone to move to hoary for new mono stuff on account of inotify | 03:19 |
| tseng | silly rml | 03:19 |
| zul | heh..i didnt say it | 03:19 |
| seb128 | we should not keep a crashing kernel for days | 03:20 |
| zul | i realize that lamont will be working on it tonight | 03:20 |
| seb128 | k | 03:21 |
| seb128 | but nobody tried to boot this one before uploading it ? | 03:21 |
| seb128 | the crash seems to happen for everybody | 03:21 |
| === bradb [~bradb@modemcable206.155-81-70.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| zul | i think lamont tested it, it was working with my patches but i didnt have inotify enabled | 03:23 |
| seb128 | k | 03:23 |
| pitti | zul: why not just upload a new kernel with "noinotify" as default? | 03:23 |
| pitti | zul: then you could keep the ABI | 03:23 |
| seb128 | so lamont doesn't use GNOME/gamin I guess :p | 03:23 |
| zul | pitti: thats what we are going to do in the next upload | 03:24 |
| pitti | ah, cool | 03:24 |
| === seb128 kicks lamont-away | ||

| zul | elmo: we are trying to fix it | 04:54 |
| === daniels sobs. | ||
| daniels | Kamion: no it doesn't | 04:54 |
| elmo | zul: I'm not having a go dude; but given how badly it breaks stuff, I'm wondering why the problematic patch wasn't just reverted - for now- yesterday? | 04:54 |
| Kamion | elmo: the patch was an ABI change, which makes it fun | 04:55 |
| Kamion | daniels: ? | 04:55 |
| zul | elmo: because im in the middle of testing it right now and it would have to bump abi again | 04:55 |
| elmo | oh, the ABI change was due to inotify? ok, sorry, wasn't aware of that | 04:55 |
| Alessio | hi, can i announce www.ubuntuitalia.org? :) | 04:56 |
| daniels | Kamion: any idea what the matter is? it might just be that I need to do the new unichrome.sf.net pull ... | 04:57 |
| zul | elmo: besides im building a new kernel right now which turns it off by default keep your fingers crossed | 04:58 |
| kagou | kamion i test .... | 04:59 |
| Kamion | daniels: hard to tell; when configuring xserver-xorg, it hangs with some kind of stripey pattern all over the screen, and switching to tty2 the video mode is screwed (i.e. huge characters) | 05:00 |
| kagou | what's this "noinotify" ? | 05:01 |
| daniels | Kamion: frig. yeah, I'd say I need to update to r30. could you please file a major-severity bug on xserver-xorg to update the unichrome.sf.net patch to r30? | 05:01 |
| Kamion | turns off inotify :) | 05:01 |
| Kamion | daniels: ok | 05:01 |
| Kamion | daniels: unfortunately it's hard for me to say when this was introduced; I haven't booted that machine for a while | 05:02 |
| daniels | Kamion: sure | 05:04 |
| mantiena | daniels, on some systems I get only 640x480 when starting ubuntu hoary liveCD, but xresprobe detect monitor parameters correctly | 05:04 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: ping | 05:04 |
| daniels | mantiena: ok | 05:04 |
| daniels | it's probably fixed in xorg 6.8.2-0.1 | 05:04 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: pong | 05:04 |
| daniels | which i hope to upload on tuesday | 05:04 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: are the hardened kernels going to make hoary universe? | 05:05 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: or do you not have the manpower to support them for all archs? | 05:05 |
| mantiena | daniels, maybe, I think problem is, that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there are no Monitor parameters (HorizSync and Vrefresh), only basic info: | 05:06 |
| mantiena | Section "Monitor" | 05:06 |
| mantiena | Identifier "Generic Monitor" | 05:06 |
| mantiena | Option "DPMS" | 05:06 |
| mantiena | EndSection | 05:06 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: we can upload them to universe when the outstanding issues are fixed | 05:06 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: however, I really don't have the time to care for them very well | 05:06 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: if you want to help there, I'd appreciate :-) | 05:07 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: such as? I noticed there's no restricted (nvidia) modules (I got nvidia glx working by building my own amd64 kernel and module) | 05:07 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: yes, for example. also, the vesa framebuffer is broken on i386 and there are no firmware images | 05:07 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: i tried repetedly to build kernel debs but they came out broken or something. No initrd, version numbers were i.e. 2.6.10_custom10.00 instead of 2.6.10-4-hardened-amd64-generic, etc | 05:08 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: the firmware images must somehow be built (the standard kernel debs ship them), but I did not deal with that | 05:08 |
| bluefoxicy | mmm | 05:08 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: please use my already existing package as basis | 05:08 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: that get's the basic things right | 05:08 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: all good points :) | 05:08 |
| trulux | I'm trying to help tritium with a python-dependent package issue regarding the python-matplotlib from http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/installing.html | 05:09 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: I tried assimilating your grsecurity related configuration into the configuration for amd64 generic 2.6.10 ubuntu kernels | 05:09 |
| kagou | thnx Kamion for "noinotify" parameters | 05:09 |
| bluefoxicy | I just can't build kernel packages :o | 05:09 |
| bluefoxicy | I keep screwing up | 05:09 |
| trulux | the problem is that it seems not happy with python 2.4 | 05:09 |
| mantiena | daniels, and when xorg starts it doesn't detect monitor properly, while xresprobe detect monitor properly. | 05:09 |
| trulux | it says << 2.4 | 05:10 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: just use the existing linux-hardened package and use debuild :-) | 05:10 |
| bluefoxicy | debuild? | 05:10 |
| === pitti pats his shiny new http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ubuntu-cve.html | ||
| trulux | and no depends. refer to that, at leats tritium points this out | 05:10 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: a nice wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage :-) | 05:10 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: you supply 32 bit kernels though, I tried apt-get source -B and stuff but it was like "hi what no source archives for your architecture" | 05:10 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: so far I only build powerpc and i386 kernels | 05:11 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: because I don't have any other hardware for testing | 05:11 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: but adding new platforms is trivial | 05:11 |
| daniels | mantiena: please file a bug, severity normal, with /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and the output of lspci, xresprobe dummy, and ddcprobe | 05:11 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: I have amd64 but i'm using nvidia too; I can always test, though I do like to avoid rebooting whenever i can :) | 05:12 |
| Nafallo | pitti: nice! *bookmarks* | 05:12 |
| === bluefoxicy ponder | ||
| bluefoxicy | I wonder if I could run xen on amd64 | 05:13 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: cool, then let's add the amd64 images | 05:13 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: then you can test the grsec/pax stuff first | 05:14 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: do you have restricted/nvidia kernel modules too that you could add for me? | 05:14 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: later we can add restricted modules, but that has to happen for all arches | 05:14 |
| mantiena | daniels, ok, but I think I should test this with new xorg if it's could be fixed in xorg 6.8.2-0.1. Todays liveCD (http://archive.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/20050224/ ) has xorg 6.8.2-0.1 ? | 05:14 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: no, I think that requires a separate source package | 05:14 |
| bluefoxicy | k | 05:15 |
| === bluefoxicy alters his xorg.conf then and uses nv instead of nvidia; I don't use 3d anyway | ||
| Kamion | mantiena: no, because 6.8.2-0.1 is not in the archive yet | 05:15 |
| mantiena | Kamion, where I can get thsi version or when this will be in archive ? | 05:16 |
| Kamion | 16:04 < daniels> it's probably fixed in xorg 6.8.2-0.1 | 05:16 |
| Kamion | 16:04 < daniels> which i hope to upload on tuesday | 05:16 |
| pitti | fuck the UVF :-) | 05:17 |
| mantiena | Kamion, sorry, I don't notice second line ;) | 05:17 |
| bluefoxicy | it's thursday | 05:17 |
| bluefoxicy | is tuesday in relation to the negative or positive relative temporal offset? | 05:18 |
| bluefoxicy | weekly time is cyclical. | 05:18 |

| mantiena | bluefoxicy, ;) | 05:18 |
| daniels | pitti: already got an exemption | 05:20 |
| bluefoxicy | oh god | 05:21 |
| mantiena | daniels, you what is your localtime ? | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | does anyone else here read the kernel changelogs? | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | I was reading the -bk incriments and saw some memset changes | 05:21 |
| daniels | mantiena: 0321 | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | and now in the changelog | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | <joe.korty@ccur.com> | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | [PATCH] memset argument order misuses | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | A simple 'grep memset.*\<0);' shows argument order errors in several | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | uses of memset. | 05:21 |
| bluefoxicy | Yes, we're all programmers. No, none of us know how to use memset() | 05:22 |
| Kamion | hands up the programmer here who's never made a mistake ... | 05:22 |
| bluefoxicy | anyway. I shouldn't bother this channel with useless programming trivia | 05:22 |
| === zul raises his hand..hah! | ||
| bluefoxicy | Kamion: hands up the programmer here who still repetedly uses strcpy(src, dest) and then doesn't catch it until years later :) | 05:23 |
| mantiena | daniels, it's time to go to bed ? | 05:23 |
| daniels | mantiena: not yet | 05:23 |
| mantiena | daniels, ok, then I wanna talk with you about including nvidia and fireglx drivers into xorg.conf ;) | 05:25 |
| === jhaltom [~jhaltom@207.55.180.100] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| daniels | mantiena: hold up | 05:28 |
| mantiena | daniels, I told you one time about this - I think that automatic xserver-xorg configuration could write Driver "nvidia" or Driver "frglx" in some cases, for example if these binary drivers are already installed on system | 05:29 |
| tseng | mantiena: why would they already be installed unless you are doing a reconfigure | 05:29 |
| daniels | mantiena: yes, and I think this would be a support nightmare | 05:29 |
| mantiena | daniels, because of proprietary binary-only drivers ? | 05:30 |
| zul | brb | 05:32 |
| mantiena | daniels, then we can make using these drivers only if some environment variable, for example "USECLOSEDSOURCEDRIVERS" is set | 05:32 |
| === jamin [~jamin@cust-24.241.99.54.cbnstl.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| daniels | mantiena: ... what would the point be, then? | 05:34 |
| mantiena | daniels, point is in liveCD - if you want to make working 3D software (games, education applications like celestia, etc.) then you need to use nvidia and fireglx drivers, because majority of systems with 3D video hardware uses nvidia or radeon | 05:37 |
| Kamion | how would you set an environment variable before xorg configuration in the live CD, then? :P | 05:37 |
| mantiena | Kamion, simply, in isolinux.cfg | 05:38 |
| Kamion | well, I guess if you're customising the live CD then you could customise casper too | 05:38 |
| === morgs [~morgan@wblv-146-219-81.telkomadsl.co.za] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| tseng | Kamion: right. most of his arguments are based on a user already jumping through one or more hoops to get the driver in the first place | 05:38 |
| tseng | then saying its too much work to edit one line in xorg.conf | 05:38 |
| daniels | that would require installing nvidia-glx or fglrx on the fly, which is a pain in the arse | 05:39 |
| mantiena | Kamion, yea, but I don't wan't to change all the packages, so it would be better if my patch to xserver-xorg debconf scripts will be included into upstream | 05:40 |
| mantiena | daniels, don't worry about installing nvidia-glx or fglrx on the fly ;) | 05:40 |
| daniels | you're creating a with-binary-drivers derivative distribution? | 05:40 |
| daniels | mantiena: errr ... how not? | 05:40 |
| Kamion | if he's creating a derivative then he could make those packages be installed by default | 05:41 |
| mantiena | daniels, It's simply not your responsibility | 05:41 |
| mantiena | Kamion, yea | 05:41 |
| daniels | you do realise that you'd need an nvidia livecd, an fglrx livecd, and a stock-dri livecd? | 05:42 |
| Kamion | mantiena: you do know that installing nvidia-glx breaks non-nvidia systems? | 05:42 |
| daniels | because both nvidia-glx and xorg-driver-fglrx divert libGL.so.1.2 | 05:42 |
| daniels | Kamion: ditto fglrx/ati | 05:42 |
| Kamion | indeed | 05:42 |
| sivang | Kamion: do you know if the warty livecd supports Macintosh (G4/G5) machines? | 05:43 |
| Kamion | sivang: no, it doesn't | 05:43 |
| Kamion | there was no powerpc live CD for warty | 05:43 |
| sivang | Kamion: ok, thanks. | 05:43 |
| Kamion | sivang: the hoary powerpc live CD should work fine | 05:44 |

| pitti | sivang: probably also a menu option in g-c-manager | 06:13 |
| sivang | pitti: sure, that was my original plan, but I thought that maybe in gnome-cups-add where you choose use a detected printer maybe? (not sure if it refers to IPP) | 06:14 |
| pitti | sivang: printers discovered with browsing don't need to be added any more | 06:15 |

| === sivang will try reboot now on the desktop. | ||
| sivang | (with noinotify) | 07:50 |
| mooch | some icons are missing... namely the "clean desktop" at the left bottom and the trash can on the right onw | 07:52 |
| mooch | even one | 07:52 |
| sivang | Kamion: thank you, I just revivied my desktop :) | 07:54 |
| sivang | I wonder how long has this been on the topic...:) | 07:55 |
| Kamion | kinda surprised that caused errors like that though | 07:55 |
| Kamion | not long | 07:55 |
| sivang | Kamion: I wish I just tried that before killing my reiserfs on the laptop..:-/ | 07:55 |
| sivang | Kamion: do you know if it's ok to fsck.reiserfs against an lvm volume which contains one reiserfs partition? | 07:56 |
| Kamion | um, no idea, sounds risky | 07:56 |
| sivang | Kamion: sorry, it contains two partitions, home and / | 07:56 |
| Kamion | surely you'd want to run fsck against the actual logical volume | 07:57 |
| sivang | Kamion: ok, that probably explaines to problems I have now.. | 07:57 |
| sivang | Kamion: yes, but I couldn't do it while it's mounted. | 07:57 |
| Kamion | er, if you mean "against an lvm logical volume", then that's fine, if you mean the physical volume then that's not fine | 07:57 |
| Kamion | but an LV cannot contain two partitions so I assume you mean a PV | 07:58 |
| sivang | Kamion: err, yes | 07:58 |

| shaya | here's a question. If the idea is to make boot times as short as possible. Why is LVM and EVMS and device mapper in the default install | 08:11 |
| shaya | can't one argue that plain joe users dont use it | 08:12 |
| === BlackHussar [~chatzilla@corp.stamps.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | those scripts exit early if they're not being used, and making boot times as short as possible is not the *only* criterion | 08:13 |
| Kamion | not having to install random packages to use useful filesystem-level facilities was also a design issue | 08:14 |
| shaya | another thought, why is gdm after bringing network up. | 08:14 |
| shaya | takes a good amount of time for network to come up here at Columbia | 08:14 |
| shaya | laptop just sitting around while we wait | 08:14 |
| Kamion | things like NFS home probably; make your network come up faster :-) | 08:15 |
| Kamion | networking does have to come up very early, it's a major sequence point | 08:15 |

| sabdfl | sorry, dropped the connection | 09:06 |
| sabdfl | did anyone respond to my comment on #1440? | 09:06 |
| zul | i was about to | 09:07 |
| sabdfl | i think i'm seeing something related on a machine with hoary installed | 09:07 |
| zul | #undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI /* define to enable ATAPI support */ | 09:07 |
| sabdfl | i don't see the cdrom drive at all, the SATA drives are working fine | 09:07 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: just noted in #1440 that I asked jbailey to have a look at that bug | 09:07 |
| Kamion | (a couple of days ago) - since he was working on #1763 which is apparently related | 09:08 |
| sabdfl | Kamion, jbailey: this is one that has reared its head on every high-end machine i've tried to install on | 09:08 |
| zul | Kamion: and then he asked me to have a look at it and ihavent had a chance to yet | 09:08 |
| sabdfl | we really need to stomp on it | 09:08 |
| sabdfl | ok | 09:08 |
| Kamion | zul: ah, right, feel free to catch up on the reassign :) | 09:09 |
| sabdfl | at boot time I saw some ide0 and ide1 messages, along the lines of the resource being busy | 09:09 |
| === fwiffo [~jep@cpe.atm2-0-1101155.0x503f8eca.bynxx8.customer.tele.dk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| zul | Kamion: if you change #undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI to a #define that might do it | 09:09 |
| zul | in libata.h | 09:09 |
| Kamion | that in the kernel? | 09:09 |
| zul | yep | 09:09 |
| Kamion | that sounds like something with wide-ranging repercussions | 09:09 |

| Mitario | hi guys | 09:11 |
| Mithrandir | sabdfl: inotify problems, it seems | 09:11 |
| zul | sabdfl, yeah it should be fixed in the next upload | 09:11 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: everyone needs to boot with noinotify; zul's looking at making that the default until we know what's up | 09:11 |
| === dholbach [~daniel@td90919e0.pool.terralink.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tseng | i tested zul's patch here already | 09:12 |

| sivang | sabdfl: inotify problem , same here | 09:12 |
| sabdfl | ok | 09:12 |
| sivang | also on dell laptop , one fs down presumably due to inotify problem | 09:13 |
| zul | Kamion: in the 2.6.11 bitkeeper for sata finished ATAPI support and turns it on | 09:14 |
| Kamion | zul: would that be a big deal to pull in? | 09:14 |
| Kamion | the thing is that affects nearly every system on the planet, whereas at the moment it's only some systems that are affected | 09:15 |
| Kamion | so it's an interesting risk assessment | 09:15 |
| winkle | tseng: nice to see muine 0.8.2, it crashes on play here though... :-/ | 09:15 |
| tseng | winkle: are you using esdsink? | 09:15 |
| zul | Kamion i was going to try this weekend...make a test kernel and get someone to test it with sata and atapi cd-rom | 09:15 |
| tseng | winkle: update to the latest polypaudio and let me know if you still have the bug please. | 09:16 |
| winkle | tseng: will do, thanks | 09:16 |
| Kamion | zul: would it be possible to get the scsi subsystem not to claim that bus? (which seems to be part of the issue) | 09:16 |
| zul | it could be possible | 09:18 |
| Kamion | I still have no idea why my SATA system has never suffered from this issue | 09:18 |
| zul | il check lkml | 09:18 |
| zul | yeah its the first time seeing this for me | 09:18 |
| Kamion | it has an ATAPI CD-RW, I believe | 09:20 |
| zul | it could be dependent on what kind of sata they are using as well though | 09:21 |
| Kamion | yeah, sata_via here | 09:21 |
| zul | sabdfl, what kind of sata do you have? | 09:22 |

| === AndyR [~andrew@rogers666.plus.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | robertj^: what do you mean by grub submenu for older kernels ? | 09:59 |
| robertj^ | ogra: currently every old-revision kernel piles up on the grub menu | 09:59 |
| AndyR | evenin' all | 09:59 |
| robertj^ | so instead it would say "Older kernels..." | 09:59 |
| ogra | robertj^: ah, you mean the description.... | 09:59 |
| robertj^ | ogra: I don't think so (could be wrong) | 10:00 |
| robertj^ | You would have Ubuntu, Windows, Older Ubuntu kernel on your menu | 10:00 |
| robertj^ | and if you select the Older Ubuntu kernel you would get a list of all the old stuff | 10:00 |
| ogra | robertj^: in my menu.lst i currently have Default and Previous | 10:01 |
| mdz | daniels: ping, re: xserver-xorg keyboard configuration | 10:01 |
| ogra | and the respective recovery modes | 10:01 |
| robertj^ | yeah | 10:01 |
| doko | jdub, mdz: any reason why libcairo1/libcairo1-dev are in main? there are no packages depending on it, which are in main as well. rationale: gcj-4.0 requires version 0.3.0, which I would like to get synced from unstable. | 10:01 |
| mdz | smurfix: ping, re: keyboard selector | 10:01 |
| ogra | robertj^: so why keep all the old stuff additionally ? | 10:02 |
| mdz | doko: check germinate output, it will explain why it is in main | 10:02 |
| robertj^ | Dunno, it just stays so I assume it was ment to | 10:02 |
| ogra | robertj^: i would just uninstall the old kernels | 10:02 |
| smurfix | mdz: The console stuff is uploaded, the main problem I see right now is that it has a few new strings which need to get localized | 10:02 |
| robertj^ | are stable kernels marked as conflicting? | 10:03 |
| elmo | doko: build-depend of dia | 10:03 |
| elmo | but given it's not listed as a depends, I guess it's unused | 10:04 |
| smurfix | mdz: wrt X keyboards, I'm still fiddling with code that finds the "best" X keymap to use. Should be ready weekendish. | 10:04 |
| doko | elmo: ok, I'll check | 10:05 |
| smurfix | mdz: Haven't seen any bug reports about the installer part yet, other than "it doesn't yet solve the X problem". | 10:05 |
| robertj^ | ogra: there's currently no facility to automatically uninstall the kernel is there? A metapackage shouldn't satisfy itself by taking the highest version dep | 10:06 |
| robertj^ | so I guess it's not just a matter of setting up a linux-kernel and last-linux-kernel | 10:07 |
| ogra | robertj^: i think the metapackage always depends on the last stable one.... | 10:07 |
| robertj^ | anyway, thats a teensy issue really I guess | 10:10 |
| robertj^ | Now that I think about it, it's probably not needed. The rationale is that NTLDR only shows multiple booting options if multiple installs are available | 10:17 |
| robertj^ | My wife knows that, but she's probably a-typical, although that does seem to be the most logical assumption... | 10:18 |
| mdz | smurfix: yeah, console stuff is looking good. dvorak is a single keystroke :-) | 10:26 |
| mdz | smurfix: glad to hear that X is coming along. any unexpected issues? | 10:27 |
| smurfix | mdz: as I said, I'm still fiddling with the analyzing code. I expect there not to be major problems. | 10:27 |
| smurfix | mdz: The main problem is that the X keymaps list many symbols in more locations than the console map has them. | 10:29 |
| mdz | Kamion,lamont: what shall we do about this inotify mess? is a fix inbound, or do we need to back out to the old inotify patch? | 10:29 |
| tseng | mdz: zul created a patch (ive tested) to default inotify to off | 10:30 |
| smurfix | mdz: for instance, a German X keymap has </> on the pc-105 key, but also on shift+alt+y/x where nobody would expect them | 10:31 |
| mdz | smurfix: american english seems to take very many keystrokes to determine | 10:31 |
| mdz | tseng: should we just go back to dnotify? gamin supports both, rigth? | 10:31 |
| mdz | smurfix: hmm, I see | 10:31 |
| tseng | mdz: gamin seems to happily fall back on dnotify when inotify is missing | 10:32 |
| smurfix | mdz: The problem is that lots of keyboards do have querty, and mostly-identical layouts, so the easy stuff (like Dvorak ;-) is gone first | 10:32 |
| smurfix | mdz: German layout needs between 4 and 8 keypresses, depending on which path you take. | 10:32 |
| tseng | mdz: http://zulinux.homelinux.net/ubuntu/kernel/enable-inotify.patch < worksforme.. he is looking to push an upload sometime tonight with this, and hopefully "fix" inotify later | 10:33 |
| mdz | tseng: he == zul? | 10:34 |
| tseng | via lamont | 10:34 |
| tseng | yes. | 10:35 |
| mdz | ok | 10:35 |
| smurfix | mdz: Shortening the paths isn't easy because I need to allow for lookalike characters. Writing a global optimizer that attempts to shorten the median path is probably a post-Hoary exercise. | 10:35 |
| === jam [~jam@198.236.63.126] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | smurfix: agreed | 10:37 |
| mdz | smurfix: the paths for Hoary will determine whether we can use the selector as the default method in the installer, though | 10:38 |
| Kamion | mdz: in any case I think having the guessed option right there up front, the way it is at the moment, is good | 10:38 |
| Kamion | it makes the most likely case easiest | 10:39 |
| mdz | indeed | 10:39 |
| mdz | dvorak is the same number of keystrokes either way (down-down-enter vs. down-enter-q) | 10:39 |
| === Kamion goes away again | ||
| elmo | fwiw, detecting the (I think) British keyboard at the DC takes 6 or 7 keyws | 10:44 |
| smurfix | mdz: *Your* dvorak takes only one key, but there are others. :-/ Integrating X keyboards into that selector is very difficult though and requires a lot of testing because the X keymaps have too many symbols in locations where no user would know how to find them. | 10:47 |
| === mvo goes to bed now | ||
| doko | elmo: please sync dia from unstable, the libcairo build-dep was disabled in unstable, the python fix isn't necessary anymore. then libcairo1-dev can be synced from unstable and be kept in main because libgcj6-awt starts to depend on it. | 10:48 |
| smurfix | The console keymaps are comparatively sane and have (mostly) exactly those keys assigned which are actually printed on the keyboard. | 10:48 |
| === geppy [~geppy@c-24-0-83-218.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| elmo | doko: ok to override ubuntu modifications to dia? | 10:49 |
| tseng | elmo: while youre at it, could you please sync f-spot from unstable? | 10:55 |
| geppy | If you try to mount the logical partition holding the virtual partitions, it kills the system. | 10:55 |
| geppy | Sorry if my terminology is a bit off. Basically, 'mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/point' completely kills the system. | 10:55 |
| mdz | geppy: what do you mean, completely kills the system? do you get a kernel panic? | 10:56 |
| elmo | tseng: same question | 10:56 |
| tseng | elmo: overwriting local is fine | 10:57 |
| geppy | mdz: Not a kernel panic, but it literally kills the system. Nothing responds. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and CTRL-ALT-DEL do nothing; it just stops completely. | 10:57 |
