mdzogra/seb128: is #8339 a GTK issue or an hwdb-client issue?01:16
jcolei need help with .udebs01:16
jcolefor the live cd i'm trying to remaster wit ha different kernel01:17
jcoleis there a way to convert a .deb to a .udeb?01:17
mdzdoko: are you sure about #145430?  it doesn't look like a gcc-3.4 bug01:17
mdzjcole: no, they are quite different things01:18
mdzjcole: to produce the udebs, build the linux-source-2.6.10 source package01:18
jcolemdz: i saw kernel-wedgefor kernels, but what about making udebs of other apps?01:18
jcolemdz: i'm guessing i have to apt-get debian-installer and build stuff from source01:20

mdzjcole: no, you don't need debian-installer01:21
mdzjcole: what is it that you want to accomplish?01:21
mdzif it is to use a different kernel on the live CD, you only need to build linux-source-2.6.10, and that will give you udebs01:21

jcolemdz: i'm trying to something unnatural01:23
mdzdoko: also #6820?01:23
jcolemdz: installing an fc3 kernel on the ubuntu live cd (so a certain proprietary app will work)... works on a regular install of ubuntu just fine, believe it or not01:24
mdzjcole: that will be complicated for the live CD01:25
mdzdoko: also #9399101:25
mdzdoko: also #253096. how did you generate this list?01:26

mdzjcole: of course01:28
=== disturbed1 [~disturbed@ip68-0-142-12.tc.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jcolemdz: does the live cd actually use the kernel in /boot in to cloop? or does it get it from a udeb? ... does it boot the /boot/ cloop kernel and load the modules from the udebs? (during the probe for hardware)01:35
mdzjcole: it doesn't use the kernel in the cloop, only the modules01:35
lamontjcole: it does, however, use the modules01:36
=== lamont re-reads what mdz wrote, sighs at self
jcoleah01:36
mdzit boots using the kernel in /install, unpacks the modules from the udebs and uses those for hardware detection, then loads any remaining modules from the cloop while it's booting01:36
mdzthe modules in the cloop must generally match those in the udebs01:37
mdzfor sanity's sake01:37
mdzjcole: swapping in the CD kernel is easy, swapping in the cloop modules is also easy.  the complicated bit is making udebs out of the modules; we don't have a tool to make udebs from an arbitrary kernel01:38
mdzthey're built from our kernel source01:38
mdzour kernel source and kernel-wedge (together) contain the lists of which modules go in which udebs01:39
mdzif you build a .deb out of your kernel, you could possibly use kernel-wedge to slice it up into udebs01:40

jcoleafter this, it will prove that i am brave, crazy, and/or stupid01:51
mdzjcole: if you can fit all of the modules you need in the initrd, yes, that could work01:56
mdzthere is a size limit, which varies per architecture01:56
jcolemdz: when linux boots and searches for modules to load.... how is that different than d-i searching for modules to load?01:57
jcolemdz: seems a bit redundant, doesn't it?02:00
mdzjcole: d-i loads the modules from external locations and unpacks them into the filesystem, where LInux can find them02:01
jcolewhen d-i boots, modules are loaded from the install/initrd.gz and the udebs?02:04
jcoleafter all that, when booting into the cloop, modules are then loaded from /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386?02:06
=== jcole head explodes
mdzjcole: the initrd contains a minimum set of modules needed to detect the CD02:08
mdzjcole: the remaining modules are loaded from the udebs once things are up and running02:09
mdzjcole: the udebs contain the minimum set of modules needed to detect the network, disks, etc.02:09
mdzjcole: the cloop has a complete set of modules (sound drivers, etc.)02:09

NigelenkiI suppose I'm not going to find disaster recovery utils on the live/install CD03:12
Nigelenkishould i submit a <bug> requesting that the LiveCD have tools added to it by default to detect and recover partitions incase i.e. WinXP system managment console decides to erase my partition table when i ask it to add an extended logical drive in 37.4 gigs of unpartitioned space in my extended partition?03:12
Nigelenki*cough*03:13
Nigelenkior would this be an "enhancement"?03:13
GoneBoBthere is a tool to do that03:13
GoneBoBit's an enhancement03:13
Nigelenkioh sweet, which one03:13
GoneBoByou can file a bug with priority enhancement03:13
GoneBoBI can't remember offhand, but it saved me a few times :)03:14
Nigelenkiheh03:14
GoneBoBhttp://www.cgsecurity.org/index.html?testdisk.html that looks like it will do it but it's not what I used03:17
Nigelenkii'll try gparted and stuff03:17
mdzNigelenki: it already contains parted03:18
mdzwhich is one of the best tools for that kind of work03:18
Nigelenkimdz:  I know it has parted, but I *cough* don't like the parted cli (rather, I like it but I don't yet know how to use it)03:18
GoneBoBmdz: last time I checked parted wont recover a shagged table03:19
Nigelenkidamn.03:19
NigelenkiI know a mandrake install cd will do it03:19
Nigelenki"Rescue partition table"03:19
mdzGoneBoB: see the 'rescue' command in parted03:19
Nigelenkimdz:  :)03:19
GoneBoBexcellent :)03:19
mdzgpart is also good in such situations; that one is not on the live CD03:19
GoneBoByes, gpart was what I was talking about03:20
Nigelenkimdz:  30 points to you.  Gparted however would be ideal, as well. . . even sysadmins are spoiled these days (look at MS, doing away with CLI in favor of GUI utils o_o).03:20
GoneBoBNigelenki: knowing how to use the CLI means you generally understand how it works03:21
GoneBoBwhich is much better03:21
NigelenkiGoneBoB:  I tend to like understanding how things work03:21
Nigelenkiit's easier for me to work with something when i know what I'm doing.03:21
Nigelenkilike when I code, I code thinking about what's going on with stuff in memory, how things are being moved, locking, what things are affected by what changes, and how the changes are done in terms of steps taken by the CPU (not 1:1 instructions but closer than high level code; helps to optimize C code)03:22
Nigelenkibecause I love easy to use, intuitive interface; but I really REALLY want to know what it is I'm doing03:22
Nigelenkianyway, too much white noise I guess, though this place was inactive when I got here :)03:23
=== Nigelenki goes to the bugzilla; also, gpart is interesting

infinitypitti : Was it ever?08:17
pittiinfinity: no, 2.4 was08:17
infinitypitti : I was using the term "stable" lightly.08:17
pittiinfinity: I think it's a shame that they don't have a stable branch any more ... :-(08:18
infinityWell, they do.  2.4 still is.  Heck, so is 2.2.08:18
infinityBut 2.6's patch acceptance policy does seem a bit 'out there'.08:18
Burgundaviainfinity, stable and useful was what I think they were looking for08:18
pittithis reminds me of stable woody vs. unstable sid...08:18
thoma _bit_?08:18
=== infinity still uses 2.4 on a large number of systems.

carlospitti: it's taking a while, getting the dependencies to compile it...12:07
mvirkkilTreenaks: Because stuff like the names of the menus to be used is hardcoded.12:08
Treenaksmvirkkil: names of the menus?12:09
seb128the menu should be the same as the panel one, so the same names12:09
mvirkkilTreenaks: Hmm.. I mean the filenamess that contain the xdm menus that are used.12:10
mvirkkilTreenaks: The tree is stored in a menu file. The name of that file is hard-coded.12:11
Treenaksah like that12:11
Treenakswhy not just a command-line option to specify a different file then?12:11
seb128xdm ?12:11
mvirkkilseb128: xdg12:12

seb128Treenaks: "ubuntu-edu", is that a panel submenu ?12:14
Treenaksseb128: no, but I think that is what mvirkkil is trying12:14
MrNonchalantTreenaks: sorry to intrude but here's a thought, maintainability?12:15
seb128that's not the way g-a-i works afaik12:15
mvirkkilTreenaks: General dislike of having stuff hardcoded in the source I guess. 12:15
mvirkkilTreenaks: Plus if someone would like to use it as a base for installing restricted formats, that person wouldn't need to touch the source.12:16
seb128zillion of config files is not better12:16
mvirkkilTreenaks: to add his own menus that is-12:16
mvirkkilseb128: Hmm... It woudl be one config file for g-a-i and the rest would be resource files ;-)12:17
seb128I don't get the interest of this config file12:17
mvirkkilseb128: What did you mean by "not the way g-a-i works"?12:17
seb128you give .desktop file to g-a-i12:17
seb128and it builds a menu like the app one12:17
seb128which is its job12:17
mvirkkilseb128: No, you give it a .menu fiele, currently just applications.menu12:18
mvirkkilseb128: Though there could be several menu files.12:18
seb128that's technical detail12:19
seb128it displays the same menu as the panel one12:19
seb128what do you want to change to that and why ?12:19
mvirkkilseb128: But you are saying it's best to have the names of those files (that can be any number) should remain hardcoded?12:19

seb128and even if we do a services.menu for that, not need of a config file, you just need to have menu selector from the UI applications/webserver/...12:32
mvohaving services in g-a-i was part of the original design, but it was dropped for hoary. I think we need to discuss this in UDU 12:32

remi`mvo, did you have time to check out the bug for update-notifier?12:33
mvomvirkkil: sorry, no opinion yet. that part of the code was mostly ross area of work12:33
madduckcould someone please tell me about how many packages are in {base,desktop,supported} together, please?12:34
mvoremi`: looked over it very briefly only. will try to do it today12:34
remi`mvo, ok thx12:34
mvirkkilseb128: So you suggest using one enormous menu, instead of using smaller ones?12:34
seb128mvirkkil: ??12:34
seb128mvirkkil: how a config file would change the menu look ?12:34
mvirkkilseb128:  "applications/webserver/"12:35
seb128I suggest to have a command line option or a menu file with the different options12:35
seb128so you pick menu, app12:35
seb128menu, webserver12:35
seb128and you have the corresponding simple meny12:35
seb128menu even12:35
seb128ups12:35
seb128s/menu file/menu menu/12:36
seb128user don't expect to go to /etc to change a config file12:36
mvirkkilseb128: Even though I disagree, I'm not saying that a user would be going to any config file.12:37
seb128just make the app listing the .menus installed and do a corresponding UI options to pick the one you want12:37
mvirkkilseb128: Now that is a suggestion I like. I scan the directory where the .menu files are suppoed to be and just generate the tabs from them.12:38

Burgundaviamvirkkil, not to be rude, but I am wondering what the point of the tab is?12:40
mvirkkilBurgundavia: Well, the point is that there will be several tabs once several menus are used12:41
seb128mvirkkil: nice, can you put a bugzilla bug with that ?12:41
mvirkkilseb128: So now each .menu file would automatically be used to generate a new tab. I like the idea. A developer would just need to drop in a .menu file 12:41
mvirkkilseb128: there already is one.12:41
Burgundaviamvirkkil, ahh12:41
seb128mvirkkil: oh, k12:41
Burgundaviamvirkkil, are we talking places/system?12:42

Goshawkmjg59, for Breezy relase it will be ready.. and does not Breezy will have usplash? (it's a sarcastic question..)03:33
mwh_Hi, I tried to reinstall debianutils and coreutils at the same time but it failed because coreutils replaces debianutils, is that a bug or a feature? Im wondering, if its a bug I would write a bugreport about it .. but if it is not, then please explain why its a feature03:33
mjg59Goshawk: Breezy will have bootsplash if we have code that works with vga16fb03:33
mjg59If we don't, it won't03:33

danielsi need to crash now, but i'm putting my current sources up05:35

danielspitti: because libdbus-1-1's init script will try to start hal, and bomb out because the old hal is still installed05:35

rossthom: ping?09:24
zygapitti: and one more thing... I most probably will need help to get glibc compatibility right09:24
zygapitti: all those weak_alias magic09:25
jbaileyzyga: What are you doing? =)09:26
zygajbailey: rewriting libintl09:27
zygajbailey: I want to add configuration stuff and flexibility on catalog placement09:27
pitti... and make the code readable in the first place? :-)09:28
zygajbailey: the first thing will be to smoothly support language-packs09:28
zygapitti: that too :-)09:28
zygaand proper documentation built from source09:28
jbaileyzyga: Are you hoping to replace the intl/ code in upstream glibc, or just have something we link against instead?09:28
zygajbailey: not sure yet, I heard that upstream is pretty hard to convince as far as such things go09:29
zygajbailey: first I want full compatibility when doing LD_PRELOAD in existing apps 09:30
jbaileyzyga: Right.  They're usually not fond of rip-and-replace, but also you want to take care with copyright purity.09:30
zygajbailey: then I was thinking about getting someone to review it and decide 09:30
jbaileyzyga: If you can't assign the copyright over the to FSF, there's no way it can be considered.09:30
zygajbailey: how do I do that?09:30
jbaileyzyga: First thing is to make sure that you don't refer to code other than FSF copywritten code, or code to which you have the rights.09:31
zygajbailey: that's pretty easy, what's next?09:31
pittijbailey: you mean, refer to code he has _no_ rights for?09:31
jbaileyzyga: You need to email assign@gnu.org and ask for an assignment form.  They will ask you all of the relevant questions, like what you've already modified, and what you plan to do.09:32
zygajbailey: this sounds like lots of paperwork ;-)09:32
zygajbailey: once it's usable I'll think about it :)09:32
jbaileypitti: English language needs ()'s: Don'y refer to code other than ( FSF copywritten code, or code to which you have the rights)09:32
pittiah09:33
zygajbailey: I'd be happy if I can provide libintl-foo GPLd and compatible with ubuntu09:33
jbaileyzyga: After that you need your employer, school or whoever else might have a claim over your code to send in a disclaimer saying that they won't try to make a claim.09:33
jbaileyIt's worth postponing the paperwork until later, but you need to make sure that it's possible for you to do it after.09:33
zygajbailey: no employer or school is involved in this -- I's all in my free time09:33
jbaileyzyga: Depending on where you live, it being in your free time may not be good enough.09:34
zygajbailey: really?09:34
zygajbailey: explain please09:34
jbaileyzyga: In the US in particular, many employers can claim that if you're a coder during the day that they own all the code you write even on your own time.09:34
zygajbailey: geez... that's insane 09:35
zygajbailey: I live in Poland09:35
jbaileyzyga: Here in Canada, it has to do with what field you might be working in.  (Like when I worked at the Mutual Fund place, I would have needed a disclaimer for gnucash or oleo, but not for hotplug)09:35
zygajbailey: I have no legal knowledge about this so I might need to ask a few friends09:35
jbaileyhotplug is a bad example, since it's not GNU.  bUt inetutils or mailutils.09:35
jbaileyzyga: If your employer is generally friendly, it's often worth it to just ask them to sign the document and be done with it.09:36
zygajbailey: my work is totally unrelated to this, that's for sure 09:36
zygajbailey: but thanks for the insight, I'll have to look more into it09:36
jbaileyzyga: Then you may be able to simply say that you have no need for a disclaimer.  I don't pretend to know how European law works. =)09:37
jbaileyI have enough trouble keeping up with my own country's.09:37
zygajbailey: europe == lot's of different countries and lots of different laws09:38

dokomany people are in vacation next week (me as well), so I'd like to start the ABI transition not before the UDU week. that doesn't hinder us to upgrade the packages in this time (i.e. glibc, binutils and GCC, without changing the defaults)11:14
jbaileydoko: The C++ one?11:14
mdzdoko: I think the decision to be made is whether we delay uploads to breezy until GCC is in11:15
dokojbailey: yes, we shouldn't consider architecture specific changes (if there are, fabbione and lamont should tell us for sparc and hppa)11:15
=== tritium [~mrimbert@ee213-dhcp-9.ecn.purdue.edu] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"]
jbaileydoko: ISTR for Sparc anyway that we decided at Debconf4 that the abi changes there didn't amount to enough to care about.11:16
dokomdz: I don't see a reason why we should. IMO it's good to check packages with a new glibc first, without transitioning the C++ ABI11:16
seb128you don't want to delay the uploads for 3 weeks ?11:16
mdzseb128: no, we don't11:17
seb128there is like 40 GNOME tarball already to package, and that's tricky for the bug management11:17
seb128*pfiou*11:17
mdzdoko: we would like to be sure that things still work when rebuilt with the new gcc11:17
dokoseb128: why?11:17
mdzdoko: what is the best way to do that?  track which packages are rebuilt since the upload, and to manual uploads to rebuild the others?11:18
seb128doko: because accumulation new package and bug fixes for weeks is not nice11:18
seb128doko: the sooner we can get the running with breezy the better imho11:18
fabbioneseb128 ++11:18
dokomdz: we can test that with a test rebuild. just recompile everything in another chroot, with the gcc-defaults package pointing to 4.011:18
seb128doko: ie: you are flooding me with gcc4 ftbfs for GNOME stuff fixed upstream11:18
fabbionedoko: but do we really need to change the toolchain for breezy?11:18
mdzdoko: that does not tell us whether the packages _work_, only whethere they build11:18
fabbionecan't we get to test it in deep for breezy+1?11:19
mdzs/whethere/whether/11:19
dokoseb128: yes, these reports are bug reports from the Debian BTS. feel free to close them, if they are fixed.11:19
seb128fabbione: is there a reason to not do it now ?11:19
mdzwe can either do it now, or in 6 months.  I would prefer to do it now.11:19
seb128fabbione: FC4 already uses gcc4 now ...11:19
seb128me too11:20
dholbachthe MOTUs will suffer, but stand behind a toolchain change :-)11:20
dokofabbione: good question. if you can assure me, that sid is unfrozen after the breezy freeze, then maybe not.11:20
fabbioneseb128: because i don't think we can wait 3 weeks to start breezy..11:21
lamontdoing it now helps us lead the charge11:21
mdzgcc-4.0 for breezy is worthwhile11:21
ajmitch_dholbach: we'll at least get to get plenty of malone testing in 11:21
mdzwe do not need to wait 3 weeks11:21
lamontmuch like hppa wound up doing with gcc-3.011:21
seb128fabbione: me neither, but I would just push gcc4 NOW11:21
seb128and start uploading11:21
fabbioneseb128: ok..11:21
dholbachajmitch_: ha, exactly :-)11:21
seb128let's face the transition :)11:21
dokolet's assume that sid unfreezes before the breezy freeze, then we'll have much less time for the transition11:21
fabbioneseb128: it's not like i really care :) i can't compile the kenrel with gcc4 anyway11:21
mdzfabbione: oh?11:22
ogradoko, is that likely to happen ?11:22
seb128fedora guys are fixing the whole GNOME for FC4 now11:22
seb128so I don't really care neither :)11:22
fabbionemdz: according to doko is still no go and zul can't get to compile all of it yet11:22
dokolamont: there are people already doing rebuilds for amd64 and ppc64, so that should give us more confidence11:22
seb128FC4 is shipping with gcc4 in 2 months, that should be possible to face it for breezy too11:23
fabbionedoko: just let me know when you are going to switch default compiler11:23
fabbioneseb128: FC4 doesn't have 16000 pkgs in universe.. our MOTU's might not make it at all11:24
jbaileyfabbione: ARe you at least okay on gcc-3.4?  Can -3.3 be safely dropped?11:24
dokofabbione: I think it's your decision, which compiler to use for kernel builds11:24
jbailey(after the C++ transition)11:24
fabbionejbailey: nope.. i am going to stay with 3.3 if 4.0 doesn't work11:24
ografabbione, hey...a bit more confidence please :)11:24
mdzdoko: can we use gcc-4.0 and g++-3.3, to delay the ABI transition while still testing gcc-4.0?11:24
fabbionedoko: last time we talked you asked me not to build the kernel with 4.011:24
fabbionedoko: what did change since than?11:24
jbaileymdz: Current glibc still requires gcc-3.{34}11:25
fabbioneogra: i would be really happy if you can make it easily.. but it is really a lot of work11:25
jbaileyThe biarch ppc testing we've been doing has been with gcc-3.411:25
mdzjbailey: current glibc, or the one you'll be uploading soon?11:25
dokomdz: I think yes, but I'll have to check. but this strategy won't work for java (dependingon C++)11:25
jbaileyThe one I'll be uploading soon.  Sorry.  Upstream's view of "current" =)11:25
ografabbione, but were also growing and we have a dholbach ;) lets see....11:26
fabbioneogra: ehehhe11:26
dholbachogra: hahaha :-)11:26
mdzso the kernel, glibc and a few hundred other packages in main can't be built with gcc-4.0 ;-)11:26
ogra:)11:26
fabbionemdz: kinda :)11:26
fabbionemdz: that's why i don't see the need of leading the transition11:26
fabbionewhat gain do we really have?11:26
pittimdz: fortunately many main packages already have patches11:26
mdzthe kernel and glibc we can use gcc-3.411:26
mdzthe other packages we can fix11:27
fabbionemdz: 3.3 for the kernel11:27
dokofabbione: nothing changed. if I did say something wrong. for woody we did have some discussion if we should provide a kgcc binary, which the kernel uses for compilations. I'm not going to propose something for the kernel, which is not proposed upstream11:27
