[01:24] Burgundavia: hrm, maybe we should come up with some better standards for how to document the laptops and so on [01:24] Burgundavia: i'm sure mjg59 would have some ideas on what would be most helpful to him [01:25] jdub, there are two parts that I see. the hoary stuff is mostly for community members and thus needs to be organized well [01:25] dabaR: you'll have to ask chanserv about who owns it [01:25] hoary stuff? [01:25] the breezy stuff is for developers, so that bugs should mostly be in bugzilla [01:25] ivoks owns #ubuntu-hr [01:25] jdub, mdke and I had a disagrement about how to report [01:26] jdub, is it enough to have a report for any stable release and a rolling report for the latest development? [01:26] i don't think the current release is all that relevant [01:26] the goal is to make sure we know the hardware, and know what the devel branch supports [01:26] the current stable is useful for people looking to purchase a laptop [01:26] jdub: thanks. [01:27] ok, i don't think that has much to do with the laptop testing team [01:27] Riddell: ya, he does, well, cool. [01:27] we can document that stuff on a hardware support page somewhere [01:27] no, but we might as well get the marketing win on it [01:27] Riddell: hey, have you seen fcrozat's XSETTINGS patches for KDE? [01:27] Burgundavia: right, but that's a different issue [01:28] they did ask for a report on how the the current stable installs [01:28] jdub: I don't think so [01:28] Burgundavia: sure, that's important to understanding where we're at from a benchmark release [01:29] Riddell: might be handy for nicer results when running apps in either environment [01:29] Riddell: fcrozat is an mdk developer, the patches might be in their cooker RPMs, but you can find him on gimpnet fairly regularly [01:32] jdub: looks like a fun idea that, I'll make a note to investigate [01:33] mjg59, ping === marcin [n=user@www.e-dev.tele2.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:33] jdub: what was the KDE stall at linuxworld like? [01:33] Riddell: they had a nice banner [01:34] i bet it was blue [01:34] Riddell: and at one point, they were getting people to shout out how much they loved kde for a xandros CD [01:34] for a *xandros* CD [01:34] insane ;-) [01:34] hahah [01:34] I wonder how many people threw it back [01:36] Burgundavia: Hi [01:36] mjg59, jdub and I were talking about standardizing the reports on the wiki === marcin` [n=user@www.e-dev.tele2.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:36] they really should have asked for kubuntu CDs in time, those things are worth shouting for [01:36] mjg59, what is most useful for you? [01:36] Burgundavia: I'm planning on writing a form for data submission, but.. [01:36] Basically I want to know whether stuff on the laptop checklist works by default or not [01:37] If it doesn't, I want to know how it doesn't work and if it can be made to work [01:37] mjg59, is there any reason why we don't just do this on the wiki? [01:37] If it works, I want to know nothing more [01:37] Burgundavia: Is it trivial to create ways to input data on the wiki that will result in a standardised format? [01:37] yes [01:38] I will create a standard table that they could copy and then fill out [01:38] Burgundavia: Ah. In that case, then do it via the wiki :) [01:38] (I should point out that I've just got back from Kamion's wedding, and so am nowhere near sober. This seems to be a recurring theme) === marcin [n=user@www.e-dev.tele2.pl] has left #ubuntu-devel ["ERC] [01:38] mjg59, the advantage of the wiki is that anyone can see the data. A form they submit to you might get lost [01:39] mjg59, both Matthew East and myself have gotten emails about how to make certain things on our laptops to work [01:39] Ok, cool [01:40] how was the wedding? [01:40] jdub: Excellent [01:40] (hic) [01:40] :-) [01:40] I will build up a skeleton table and then ask for your comments [01:41] Burgundavia: Excellent, tanks! [01:42] mjg59, should be ready by monday [01:42] mjg59, quick question, do you care bout every point release in the development or only a rolling report? [01:42] mjg59, I mean, do I need to keep all the colony reports around? [01:44] Only a rolling report unless it's necessary to check whether something's reverted [01:44] ok [01:45] mjg59, I am off, pm me if you have any further comments/issues/ideas [01:45] Burgundavia: Will do.

[02:41] Riddell: (is there any reason not to move them all together?) [02:42] mdz: Is there anything I should be worrying about right at the moment? [02:43] mjg59: balance, slurred speech, etc. [02:43] mjg59: hunger, poverty, poor medical care... [02:43] mdz: I want krita on the CD because image manipulation is a missing feature from kubuntu, I'd be happy to have the rest in support, not sure what else it brings in [02:44] mdz: howdie [02:44] Riddell: could you review the dependencies and see? if there aren't any new deps, we should just put them all in supported [02:44] jammcq: good evening [02:44] jammcq: congratulations on the LTSP award [02:44] Riddell: keep in mind that gimp is one of the first things we'd remove if space becomes more of an issue on the CD [02:44] mdz: i've got a new machine, and i'm loading breezy now, to test out ltsp integration [02:44] Ah, good, nothing of any great concern [02:44] you hate gimp that much?

[02:48] jdub: google...award... money? [02:49] jdub is teh best open source love magnet [02:49] mjg59: do you have the lsb-base changes ready for when jbailey fixes the fifo thing? [02:49] mdz: It's about 5 lines, but yeah [02:49] I wonder if ubuntu has a changelog [02:50] bur[n] er: it's not too hard to fix [02:50] Diablo-D3: every package has a change log under /usr/share/doc// [02:50] it's more like 10 [02:50] I meant for 'big' features that arent related to any one package [02:50] http://lwn.net/Articles/142671/ [02:50] paolo: nup, i got an award at oscon for being noisy :-) [02:50] like that [02:50] we call those "release notes" [02:51] mdz: 5, 10. It's less than an order of magnitude. [02:51] mjg59: I was musing over init scripts called by maintainer scripts post-boot [02:51] jdub: i did the apt-get install xkbutils thing and step 2 of --force-confmiss on the xkeyboard thing... but no dice... i still get a blue ncurses based screen saying X encountered an error and I can do nothing but hard reboot back to 'recovery mode' [02:51] Don't trouble me with your powers of 2. [02:51] paolo: http://osdir.com/Article6677.phtml [02:51] mdz: Once usplash isn't running, usplash_write will exit silently [02:51] bur[n] er: check the log, then - i bet you just need to run a dpkg-reconfigure to get the right font paths [02:51] I /do/ need to code usplash_read (for encrypted filesystems) [02:51] mjg59: right, meaning that init scripts which currently print a message become silent [02:52] mdz: Mm? My plan was to do both [02:52] oh, I see [02:52] that's a fine idea [02:52] Then people can switch back to tty1 and see all the messages [02:52] mjg59: will usplash be able to print characters on non-white? (is that box just a guide in current artwork?) [02:52] jdub: It can do, yeah [02:52] cool [02:52] jdub: i hate to be a bother, but reconfigure what package?? [02:52] I can't emphassise this enough === jdub thinks black background will probably look the slickest [02:53] mjg59: the box is actually a functional place where text can scroll [02:53] *the artwork is shit because I cannot draw* [02:53] bur[n] er: xserver-xorg [02:53] mdz: Yes, but it's trivial to change this [02:53] er [02:53] s/mjg59/jdub/ [02:53] The box is drawn by the code [02:53] thanks jdub, i'll give it a shot [02:53] It can draw a black box instead [02:53] jdub: you can play with usplash_write to see how it looks [02:53] mdz: do we *want* scrolling text on usplash sexiness? [02:54] jdub: There is scrolling text [02:54] jdub: if it's going to stay up all the way through to gdm, it should probably give some idea of what's going on, yes [02:54] Well, scolling in the same way as the console [02:54] jdub: cool - congrats :-) [02:54] paolo: :) [02:54] I'm a SoC, in fact :-P [02:54] SoC-er even. [02:54] mdz: i think i'd prefer something closer to the rhgb service title status [02:55] jdub: how is that different from what we have? [02:55] jdub: It's more SuSE bootsplash than rhgb [02:55] well, keep in mind that i haven't seen what it looks like post-initramfs [02:55] it looks the same only with status messages / progress bar [02:55] We show the same text as would appear on the console, but in a more attractive manner [02:56] Switching it to something more abstract is rather more effort [02:56] mjg59: one line at a time, or with scrolling lines? [02:56] jdub: Scrolling - otherwise stuff can vanish before you read it === jdub thinks that's pretty reasonable tradeoff for looking elite [02:57] speaking of which, am I the only one for whom the GNOME splash text has missing characters in it? [02:57] if they want scrolling status, they can switch back to tty1 [02:57] jdub: The current state is that a few lines of text are scrolled in the box [02:58] should i be seeing usplash post-initramfs? [02:58] Not yet [02:58] why not just "Starting Services..." [02:58] Needs a touch more initramfs love [02:59] rhgb just shows the service name currently starting [02:59] even thats too much imho [02:59] because we spec'd this out 4 months ago and decided otherwise [02:59] jdub: What does it do in the case of failure? Display anything informational? [02:59] and you can click a disclosure triangle to get the scrolly bits (you don't even have to switch tty) [02:59] yeah that > dropdown is neat [02:59] I think for now we go with a more attractive version of what we already have, and then redesign it in Breezy+1 [02:59] mjg59: you can pop open the hidden terminal with the disclosure widget if you care === sladen hmmms about the state of usplash. [03:00] jdub: Urgh. Yeah, that's a bit more awkward to do since we don't run X [03:00] jdub: we're not going to do user interaction, at least not in this iteration [03:00] j^: it gives you an impression of progress [03:00] mdz: not suggesting it (we have tty switching anyway) [03:01] In principle bogl can do mouse input, but it's not going to be pretty [03:01] jdub: possibly X is still broken with widescreen monitors?? [03:01] it's cool that rhgb does it, but i don't think lack of error status is reason to make it have the scrolly bit on the sexy screen [03:01] jdub thats what a progressbar could be for: Starting Services... [|||||........] [03:01] j^: don't have any meaningful way to understand startup period [03:01] j^ progress bars are a complete arse [03:01] i reconfigured xserver-xorg, but I still get the curses based bluescreen with "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that you it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?" [03:02] j^: and how long is the progress bar? [03:02] bur[n] er: have you looked at the output? [03:02] They ought to increase at a linear speed, but we can't do that easily [03:02] mjg59: have you looked at SMF? [03:02] jdub: TBH, our screen is not very sey [03:02] jdub: i can't... the screen is locked here... I can't even do ctrl+alt+f2 [03:02] jdub: Not yet. If it's possible in the future, I'll be happy [03:02] mjg59: we can make it sexy :) [03:02] i can't ctrl+alt+bkspace either [03:02] s/sey/sexy/ [03:02] bur[n] er: try ctrl-d [03:02] jdub: There's a limit to 640x480x16 colour sexiness [03:03] whiprush: :) [03:03] mjg59: the windows one looks sweet, i don't think we'll have too much trouble [03:03] jdub: You think? I think we can do better than that, but I still don't think it'd look sexy [03:04] sladen does that matter? did you ever see a progress bar that had anything todo with the time it takes === jp [n=Juan@200-126-81-18.bk6-dsl.surnet.cl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:04] we must! WE MUST! [03:04] with a bountie and some rub-in oil, anything can be made to look sexy... [03:04] FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION [03:04] j^: Progress bars that have no relation to the time it takes are teh suck [03:04] mjg59 use a spinning wheel [03:05] Nngh. [03:07] rhgb has service name and a spinner [03:10] rhgb has better graphical primitives [03:10] rhgb has VTE and a full gtk widget set [03:11] Yes === sladen should do something about usplash, but doesn't want to get the blame if it still looks teh scuk0r [03:12] sure, but i'm not suggesting we need to go that far to improve usplash sass value [03:13] in terms of status, i'm trying to say that scrolly text smells, and a simple service name (or even just a single line of normal output) will be nicer [03:13] an image like http://www.neystadt.org/john/album/London2003/DSCN1246-London-Eye-Wheel.JPG with turning wheel would be cool [03:14] heh [03:14] in sixteen colours, when full screen updates are quite slow? :-) [03:14] lsb init works for standard Ubuntu packages; you have to resort to screen-scraping unless you just use /etc/init.d/$name [03:14] jdub: You're not going to see most of those service names, and you're not going to get any useful diagnostic output [03:15] is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive the only source of package mirror info?? [03:15] mjg59: you can switch to tty1 for diagnostic output if you need it [03:15] mjg59: look at the windows startup screen - no diagnostic output [03:15] jdub: But that also sucks [03:15] mjg59: same with the mac one [03:15] j^: you're about 16777200 colours short of being able to do that [03:15] "Please press these obscure keys if you want to know what's going on" [03:15] mjg59: for a desktop, that's not ridiculous. [03:16] jdub: It's not ridiculous once we have the infrastructure to log those failures [03:16] (it's harder to get that output on mac and windows) [03:16] With our current infrastructure, if something fails on startup the user will never notice (assuming using your suggestion) [03:16] And that sucks [03:17] it's not like they could do a whole bunch about it even if they could see it [03:17] and it scrolls by quickly already anyway [03:17] No, but they'd know something was broken [03:17] and they don't see all the output because gdm starts early [03:17] they can't fix even if they do see it. [03:17] The alternative is that stuff just doesn't work and they have no idea whyt [03:17] snap. It'll just scare them into turning the computer off during fsck [03:17] gdm starts after everything that's important for the desktop [03:18] mjg59: can we automagically switch to tty1 when an init script has an error? [03:18] that at least is a major visual warning [03:18] jdub: Not in a terribly easy way [03:18] jdub: Especially given that it's expected for a couple of scripts to fail (ntpdate, for instance) [03:18] I guess we could fix those === jdub is not convinced that seeing non-blocking startup errors is wildly useful on a desktop system anyway [03:19] what about fixing all those network scripts [03:19] mjg59: yeah, that would uglify it unnecessarily [03:19] jdub: i see my X output and find that it can't find the "fixed" font and I should have x-window-system installed, but there is no package x-window-system... any ideas? I promise, it's my last question for the eve ;) [03:19] jdub: If hal fails to start, we ought to tell the user === bur[n] er feels like he's close [03:20] bur[n] er: Install xfonts-base [03:20] j^: all those network scripts should be made to hook a callback for when the network status changes; then ntp can at least do something sensible [03:20] bur[n] er: if you do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and have xfonts-base installed, it should work [03:20] mjg59: already newest version [03:20] jdub: this smf stuff jive license-wise? [03:20] whiprush: CDDL, not a problem [03:20] sladen yup, and use NetworkManager/dbus for the network status [03:20] (and the minor nits with CDDL sun is willing to fix) [03:21] interesting [03:21] CDDL isn't an obvious problem [03:21] j^: we may get NM for breezy, but it's unlikely that we'll get that level of integration just yet :) [03:21] It's obviously meant to be a free software license. If there are any problems, they'll fix them [03:21] It's not worth the PR loss otherwise [03:21] aww... dpkg-reconfigure xfonts-base did the trick :) [03:21] thank you all so much! [03:21] bur[n] er: I had that issue on my R31. I didn't get to the root of where it wasn't finding the 'fixed' font. but just installing xbase-fonts isn't enough [03:22] jdub i fixed NM today, including modem support http://bootlab.org/~j/bazaar/network-manager--ubuntu--5.11/ [03:22] rawk :) [03:22] bur[n] er: ta, I'll try that [03:22] sladen: gl :) [03:23] mjg59: having spoken to the people who made the decision; up until 6 months before release they were expecting to use GPLv3 [03:23] hmm, some people are claiming less than 10 second boot times.

[06:52] jammcq: is your existing dhcp server something other than ISC dhcpd? [06:52] yes, ISC dhcpd 3.0 [06:52] bye ! [06:53] jammcq: you tried "next-server ;" ? [06:54] yeah, pxe doesn't honor that, so it wouldn't get the kernel from the right place [06:54] that works fine with my thinkpad [06:54] might depend on the bios [06:55] and/or network chipset [06:55] i'm using an HP T5305 thin client [06:57] sbalneav had some problems last night too, but they were different. he's getting a libc6 issue from the initramfs [06:58] his thin client has a via-533 cpu, and I wonder if there's something about the way glibc was built that the via doesn't like [07:02] jammcq: hmm, can I get more detail about the initramfs issue? === Mez [n=Mez@cpc2-lich4-3-0-cust115.brhm.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:03] oh, I see [07:03] initramfs-tools seems to be choosing to include the glibc used on the server [07:03] mdz: not till tonight, when sbalneav gets back online. he's out doing family things [07:03] hmm, server glibc is really NOT what we want for the client [07:03] I don't think it should be fatal though [07:04] the important stuff in initramfs uses busybox or klibc [07:04] mjg59: around? [07:04] klibc should be plenty to start a thin client [07:05] mjg59: success with p4-clockmod with Celeron M, powernowd does throttle the cpu nicely [07:05] well, when scott gets back later, he'll have to explain what it's doing [07:05] I only have one netbootable system which isn't an i686, and it's my router so I can't use it as a test platform [07:06] should be trivial to fix though [07:06] if he could file a bug in bugzilla against initramfs-tools, that would be great [07:06] k [07:09] siretart: Really? Gosh [07:09] siretart: I wouldn't recommend it - the latancy is quite poor with p4-clockmod [07:09] mjg59: yes, I'm just writing a comment on the bugzilla entry [07:09] We ended up blacklisting it because of that. I didn't know it worked on Celerons, though [07:09] mjg59: hey, it's still better than nothing [07:09] siretart: Arguably not :( [07:10] huh? what problems will arise? [07:11] dhcpd seems to be doing odd things. for instance, I have 'range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.63', and it handed out an address of 192.168.0.244 to the client [07:11] are you sure it's talking to the right dhcp server? [07:11] The processor doesn't speed up fast enough when an application needs CPU time [07:11] if it saves power can be usefull to lock it down [07:11] jammcq: ah, I know [07:12] jammcq: you're using ltsp-server-standalone, which overrides the config file with /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf [07:12] it should probably install /etc/dhcp3/README.ltsp or something [07:12] huh ? [07:12] ah [07:12] ooh, that's scary [07:13] that would explain my problem with 192.168.254.149 too [07:14] mjg59: hm. true, indeed. openoffice2 starting quite sloppy. what would be the right solution then? improving speedstep_centrino? [07:15] imho powernowd itself is slow [07:15] the ondemand schedular in the kernel gives much better performance [07:15] possibly less power saving but it wasnt terrible [07:17] but.... I am VERY impressed with how quickly breezy boots and gets to a login screen on the server === Elleo_ [n=Elleo@shellsong.plus.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:20] jammcq: compared to Hoary? I wouldn't expect a dramatic difference === tvo [n=tobi@5354EA9B.cable.casema.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:21] we made a lot of improvements in that area for Hoary though [07:22] that being said, breezy does seem to boot a lot faster than hoary by sheer accident [07:22] default install is about 10-15s faster === thierry [n=thierry@modemcable116.61-131-66.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:22] siretart: Having a non-crippled CPU [07:22] slightly OT- anyone know if /etc/lsb-release exists in a standard debian install? [07:23] mjg59: hey, thats a canonical laptop ;) [07:23] luis_: perhaps you should ask on #debian [07:23] luis_: I don't think any lsb packages are installed by default in Debian at present [07:24] thanks, mdz === nasdaq7 [n=gfhgfa@tkp-ip-nas-1-p72.telkom-ipnet.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel === nasdaq7 [n=gfhgfa@tkp-ip-nas-1-p72.telkom-ipnet.co.za] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [07:27] siretart: Heh [07:27] siretart: But seriously, there's no good way of supporting power scaling on Celeron machines [07:28] mjg59: OK. I was just scared/confused by the error message from powernowd on bootup [07:28] and I couldn't imagine that intel/ibm would sell such crippled cpu's [07:28] mdz: ok, i've got a root shell on the thin client. where is that ldm log file? [07:29] jammcq: /var/log/ldm.log [07:30] siretart: yeh its called celeron for a reason :) [07:30] yeah, found it [07:30] i knew someone that used to say [07:30] sell-air-on === lakin [n=lakin@dsl-hill-66-18-228-60-cgy.nucleus.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Natja [n=Natja@253-41.240.81.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:30] siretart: Yeah, the message could possibly do with tidying [07:30] (i say sell-err-on) [07:31] mjg59: so whatever usplash is doing screws my console after resume (random cruft all over it [07:31] http://pastebot.geeksinthehood.net:8888/123 [07:31] yet vesafb works fine after suspend, hrm :P === carl [n=carl@217-162-88-236.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:31] mdz: check that url for the ldm.log file [07:31] this is backwards to everyone else apparently :) [07:32] jammcq: sounds like the X server didn't start; check /var/log/Xorg.*.log [07:32] Lathiat: To what extent? [07:32] X doesn't come back at all? [07:32] no X works fine [07:33] my *console* just doesnt work, it has cruft all over it and it doesnt do anything [07:33] well it does things, random bits change all over the screen :) [07:33] interestingly it runs from top to bottom [07:33] Are you running the latest X? [07:33] yeah, xorg.conf doesn't look complete [07:33] where as the console is only 640x480 in the middle of the screen [07:33] yep [07:33] Hm. Ok. [07:33] Interesting. [07:34] this is with a nvidia card [07:34] i am running the binary drivers, might be upsetting things [07:34] (likely) [07:34] Ah [07:34] i might try with nv [07:34] Can you try without? [07:34] ok bbs [07:34] jammcq: is it obviously corrupt? [07:34] http://pastebot.geeksinthehood.net:8888/124 [07:34] it's just incomplete [07:34] I worked around that bug in ltsp 0.46 [07:35] which I apparently forgot to upload [07:35] heh [07:35] uploaded now [07:35] meanwhile, people.ubuntu.com/~mdz/ltsp/ [07:35] you just need the new ltsp-client in the chroot === jp [n=Juan@200-126-81-184.bk6-dsl.surnet.cl] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mistik1 [I=rasta@ool-44c02704.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:37] so, in chroot, can I just 'dpkg -i ltsp-client_0.46_i386.deb' ?

I've seen a malone bugreport about trouble with the nvram module not loaded by hotplug/by default, and problems with permissions on /dev/nvram [07:42] jammcq: btw, I've been thinking about moving to the LISP pastebot which support anotations to the paste and such and such, what do you think of that? [07:42] mistik1: sounds cool [07:42] although we should carry on that conversation over at #ltsp [07:42] this way you could correct a paste that someone made instead of having to tell them what to do [07:42] ok, my appologies [07:43] mjg59: ah ok works with nv [07:43] mjg59: unfortunately i stil lhave that 2 line thing which makes my console useless [07:45] and someone needs to teach google about AC power and to stop indexing when on battery [07:45] err, beagle [07:46] Lathiat: Hrmph. Weird. [07:46] siretart: There's no secure way of adding it to main [07:46] Which sucks [07:47] I'll look at a cleaner implementation [07:47] cleaner impl of? [07:47] mjg59: so vesafb breaks suspend on most hardware? [07:47] mjg59: what about the nvram module? Is the typical ubuntu user expected to do a 'echo nvram | sudo tee -a /etc/modules' himself? what are the problems with that? [07:47] Lathiat: cleaner impl of tpb [07:48] siretart: ah [07:48] Lathiat: Yes [07:48] mjg59: do you have any idea how i can find a list of vesa modes for my specific hardware? [07:48] Uh. There shouldn't be specific vesa modes [07:48] well apparently you can get some for liek widescreen [07:49] that vary [07:49] The numbering is part of the standard [07:49] Oh, eww [07:49] (just what ive heard, i could be wrong) [07:49] That's not strictly vesa, then [07:49] so maybe not [07:49] where can i get a list of vesa modes? === otavio [n=otavio@unaffiliated/otavio] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:49] siretart: nvram probably ought to be autoloaded, but that won't help the tpb case [07:49] (higher than those in the kernel docs) [07:49] Lathiat: I think the VESA spec is open [07:50] mjg59: hrm is it ? [07:50] mjg59: shall I file a but about nvram? against which package then? hotplug? === Lathiat looks [07:50] Lathiat: http://www.vesa.org/Public/VBE/vbe3.pdf [07:50] I know that this wont solve the tpb problem for itself. thats just a first step [07:51] siretart: Hmm. hotplug probably isn't the right choice - there's no way of it knowing [07:51] It probably ought to be in /etc/modules by default on x86 and amd64 [07:52] hm. I'll write a mail to ubuntu-devel, then === odeez [n=zeedo@www.reboot-robot.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Valandil [n=chrys@dsl-084-056-084-156.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Keybuk [n=scott@descent.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:05] mjg59: eeps why is usplash seeded in main already? [08:05] Lathiat: Because it's targetted at Breezy [08:06] heh ok [08:06] damn stupid hardware [08:07] Lathiat: It should be fine on any hardware that the installer was fine on [08:07] mjg59: installer isnt fine either :) [08:07] Well, indeed [08:07] im sure it worked at one point, way back, i should try the warty installer [08:08] So you disable vga16 during the install, and then usplash doesn't run either [08:08] So it doesn't break anyone [08:08] well usplash still boots if you take splash out [08:08] be good if you could fix that [08:08] Does it? Grah. [08:08] It's not meant to. [08:08] yeh someone else mentioned it earlier but i'll try it again if you want [08:09] The script looks ok [08:09] Hrm [08:09] theres also other random errors [08:10] like i get a chroot: command not foudn adn stuff at the end of the boot [08:10] know about that? [08:10] Yeah, there's some tidying up stuff needed in the initramfs stuff [08:10] I'm not sure why the chmod throws an error [08:10] no path i assume [08:10] chmod g+rw /dev/fb0 [08:10] heh @ ssh ... I appear to have just got a screenful of "Killed by signal 1." [08:10] Ought to be ok. Weird. [08:11] i assume theres no path and you want /bin/chmod ? [08:12] Doesn't it give "chmod: no such file or directory" rather than "sh: chmod - command not found"? [08:12] er [08:12] let me look [08:13] /scripts/init-premount/usplash: 44: chmod: not found [08:13] Ah. Hm. [08:13] Yeah, maybe it needs a path, then [08:17] mjg59: also my cpu speed has a habbit of getting stuck on 600mhz requiring you to stop, start, stop, start powernowd to get moving agian (i think its a kernel bug tho as doing stuff in /sys fails to) -- hard of that one? (pentium-m) [08:17] Hrm. Nope. [08:17] We'll probably switch away from powernowd, though [08:18] and i've even seen it, with powernowd stop, drop and get stuck on 600 [08:18] i think that was only once tho [08:18] mjg59: and use what? [08:18] Lathiat: i think that is more just powernowd sucking [08:18] but i see the same [08:18] Lathiat: ondemand [08:18] tseng: well i thought that, except that if i restart it [08:18] its still stuck [08:18] The kernel can do it on its own [08:18] i have to restart it a second time [08:18] mjg59: cool, that works better [08:19] and echoing something into /sys gives some weird error [08:19] but restarting powernowd twice seems to get it going again [08:19] mdz: ldm seems to be stuck in a loop. I see X for a second, then the screen blanks, and about 5 seconds of pause, and then it does it again. Looking at the ldm python script, seems like either Xorg or the greeter is failing [08:20] tseng: and yeh, thats mighty annoying [08:20] that sounds like an x server or configuration problem [08:20] gdm tries to restart X every 5 seconds [08:21] the Xserver seems ok, cuz I see the gray screen with X cursor, but then the screen goes away [08:21] it's not GDM [08:21] this is on a thin client, using ldm === bur[n] er [n=norml@c-67-173-243-73.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === kobold [n=kobold@catv-50625317.catv.broadband.hu] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:31] mjg59: heeres something interesting [08:31] mjg59: if i turn video expansion on, it works fine [08:31] Lathiat: Haha [08:31] same goes for the warty install [08:31] broken with it off, works with it on [08:31] Ok - that'll be vbetool posting it oddly [08:31] Oh, I see what you mean [08:32] Hm. Not a lot we can do there, I guess [08:32] (and by works i mean, vga16fb doesnt do the weird thing) [08:32] Except find someone who knows more about vga hardware [08:32] heh yeh [08:32] the isolinux boot screen seems to look right [08:32] altho it wasnt scrolling down [08:33] Windows seems to manage === Yagisan [n=jamie@60-240-55-201.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:34] jammcq: anything in the log?

[08:46] yep [08:46] I changed the 'while True' to 'if True' in ldm, to make it run only once [08:47] yeah, i need to do something about that error reporting [08:47] let me upgrade my chroot to current breezy and see if something obvious has broken [08:47] k === Seveaz [n=seveas@seveas.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:47] are you just doing 'apt-get upgrade' ?

[08:51] sure [08:51] jammcq: meanwhile, installing python-cairo should get it past that [08:52] I need to do something about the error reporting in ldm; it ought to do something useful with the console [08:52] mjg59: hrm, you should hastle daniels to get glxinfo in breezy [08:53] Lathiat: Haha [08:53] "jammcq" pasted "gtk greeter traceback" (6 lines) at http://pastebot.geeksinthehood.net:8888/130 [08:53] Lathiat: I'm running out of daniels favours :) [08:53] there ya go [08:53] glxgears would also be a usefull quick test [08:53] mjg59: heh [08:54] jammcq: python-gtk bug, thanks === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.25.192.240] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:55] mdz: all part of the shake out I guess :) [08:55] this would have broken quite recently [08:55] wednesday [08:56] things should start being less broken in feature freeze === mjg59 finally gets round to trying to track down ACPI breakage on the Thiknpad 240X [08:57] 240X? sounds old [08:57] It is [08:57] But it's lovely [08:58] Only problem is some weird yenta bug. It's probably biting other people too.

This is for my laptop. I will add/change to make it copy&paste operation [11:12] Burgundavia: Ok, excellent === niran [n=niran@cpe-67-10-213-51.houston.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:14] how much more info will you want? [11:14] as much useful/relevant info as we can provide? [11:14] mjg59, if I forgot something, it is an accident, not intentional [11:14] Burgundavia: Looks good so far [11:14] mjg59, matthew east (mdke) is concerned about forcing peole to use one form === mdke nods [11:14] It's going to become difficult to consolidate otherwise [11:15] as a personal thing i don't like those tables [11:15] The aim of this is to provide information to users [11:15] perhaps the whole thing should be consolidated from the start [11:15] Unless that information is presented in a consistent way, it's not very helpful [11:15] I think I can fix the table widths [11:16] or make it all one big table [11:16] LaptopTestingHardware is already there, that could be used [11:16] mdke: I'm not that keen on it - the information isn't really fine-grained enough [11:16] and testers could be encouraged to flesh things out in their own reports === mpt [n=mpt@200-168-128-106.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:17] And there's a lot of missing information [11:17] mjg59, well small changes could be made to that table, but to be honest, if you want a consolidated record, it's going to be very difficult to have a lot of detail [11:17] there is a limit to how wide a table can be ;) [11:17] I like the LaptopTestingSpec as a guide [11:18] mdke: it's a good start, but I think more info can be better [11:18] but it depends on whether the info will be used for developers, or primarily users [11:18] here is what I have done, for comparison https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ThinkpadT43. mjg59 obviously if the decision is taken to change the Spec, that's no problem for me [11:18] mdke: By consolitdated I don't mean all visible at once - I mean a comparitive overview and a consistent way of finding out the details [11:18] ah [11:18] is there a list of breezy bugs i can take a look at? [11:18] if it is for developers, it needs to be a fast read [11:18] :P [11:19] Burgundavia, bugzilla is for developers, what you guys are talking about is for users [11:19] (not seeking support [11:19] :P [11:19] Users don't want to see "This works if you do this". They want to see "this works", and it's our job to make sure that it does [11:19] agreed [11:19] I dont know the context, but I agree with mjg [11:20] linux has too much "works if you do this" [11:20] mjg59, of course testers need to file a bug whenever something doesn't "just work" [11:20] it needs more "plain simple works" [11:20] mdke: Absolutely [11:20] right, I thought the main context of the reports we filed was for developers [11:20] btw tpb doesn't get installed out of the box [11:20] ajmitch_: Ah, sorry. It's both [11:20] >_< [11:20] tpb can't be made to work out of the box [11:20] Not without rewriting it [11:20] It's a screaming security nightmare [11:21] hopefully the one I get to test will arrive in the next week or two :) [11:21] mjg59, users don't want to hear that :p [11:21] mdke: Yeah. Instead we tell them "this doesn't work" until it does === mdke nods [11:21] mjg59: if I get a thinkpad, I'll look at working on it :) [11:21] what is tpb? [11:21] anyhow those tables are hard to read === opi [n=emil@bronikowski.art.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:21] IMHO [11:21] Diablo-D3: Thinkpad buttons daemon [11:21] hi guys [11:21] ahh [11:22] yeah, I can imagine [11:22] laptop goodies are Evil (tm) [11:22] mdke, ajmitch_ mjg59 ok, tried one big table [11:23] ajmitch_: Heh. I know what you're getting - I can tell you if you want [11:23] I wish there was a generic framework to make everything Just Work (tm) [11:23] Diablo-D3: In the long run, hal may help there [11:23] mjg59: that'd be good [11:23] Burgundavia, big improvement [11:23] ajmitch_: no spoilers! [11:23] tseng: well claire tells us before they're sent, apparantly :) [11:23] ajmitch_: Ought to be a Dell 510m [11:23] mjg59: thats what people I know are hoping for [11:23] Burgundavia, i still personally prefer s and
  • s tho [11:23] mjg59: but theres lots of other stuff that doesnt just work [11:23] ajmitch_: oh. i need to find a fax machine, claire couldnt verify my clearsign for some reason [11:24] tseng: don't tell me :) [11:25] mjg59: like, non-usbmsd cameras (and such) dont Just Work (tm) [11:25] tseng: right, I scanned & gpg-signed [11:25] tseng: I don't even know how to operate one ;) [11:25] mjg59: thanks [11:25] opi: /me barely [11:25] ajmitch_: and it worked? [11:25] Diablo-D3: Stuff that plugs into the serial port is immense pain [11:25] mjg59: I meant the usb ones that arent msd [11:25] tseng, opi that is why the local office supply place is great. You say fax and here is the number [11:25] tseng: well, there's allways time to learn new tricks ;> [11:25] Hrm. USB cameras ought to work. [11:25] Burgundavia: that's my plan ;) [11:25] usb cameras that are MSD do work [11:25] libgphoto is supposed to deal automatically [11:25] mjg59, did you see #13390 btw? looks like most of the thinkpad people have had it [11:25] mdke: Yeah, I had that when I got mine a few years ago [11:25] mjg59: gphoto integration works now? [11:25] mdke: I think I may know a couple of ways around it [11:25] Diablo-D3: It's supposed to, but I have no hardware to test it with [11:25] mjg59: ubuntu may be the first distro ever to have it working =/ [11:25] mjg59, that would be cool, its a fair blocker [11:25] btw: If I've submitted a bug to Malone [11:25] the current redhat and mandrake and whatever else is popular releases completely fail here [11:26] mjg59, if you want to edit my page, go ahead [11:26] mjg59, thank god I made rescue disks. I'm already on my second restore to factory settings [11:26] is is someone from MOTU noticed if the package has no MOTU-owner? [11:26] opi: for bugs? [11:26] motu doesnt own every package [11:26] ajmitch_: yes [11:26] mjg59, once we are happy with the design, I will copy over to generic page and announce it [11:26] tseng: I know, that's why I'm asking [11:26] opi: no, they have to be assigned to MOTU for us to notice, or we watch #ubuntu-bugs [11:26] oh, i see what you mean [11:26] tseng: what if a package is just imported [11:26] (and yes, comparing to redhat and mandrake and whatever is important, if they get something right and Ubuntu doesnt, thats a bad thing) [11:26] Burgundavia likes to assign those ones to the spam bin [11:26] Burgundavia: Excellent [11:26] send to all motu [11:26] of course, ubuntu gets so many things right <3 === ajmitch_ will bbl, work meeting [11:27] There should be a laptop-testing list next week [11:27] mjg59, you think the tables work for readability? I still don't like em [11:27] ajmitch_: OK then, I'll try to fix it myself and I'll put it up to review [11:27] mjg59: how do I join the laptop-testing team? [11:27] Diablo-D3: I'll post stuff once the list exists [11:27] Diablo-D3, visit the wiki page [11:27] mjg59: I have a popular laptop, a presario 7xx series laptop [11:27] mdke: I think they work for developer-level readability [11:27] amd duron, via chip, twisterk video chip [11:27] mjg59, if the testers are filing bugs, IMHO the wiki page is mainly for users [11:28] quite a lot of these were manufactured, and they're quite unsupported at times =/ [11:28] like, I /still/ cant get the backlight to turn off, and I've been trying for a year now to do that [11:28] my Tecra8000 works almost flawless :) [11:28] mdke: The information from those pages will be grabbe and reformatted for end-users [11:28] you only need to kick ISA-sound a bit [11:29] and it supposibly has a thermal chip, but its only supported by Compaq's own drivers [11:29] and its not connected through the via686a chip, and the lm-sensors project has basically refused to support it [11:29] mjg59, ok whatever you guys decide is fine, as long as a final spec is produced and we don't have to keep reformatting our reports [11:29] Diablo-D3: pita [11:29] mdke: What does fdisk claim the partition type of your recovery partition is? [11:29] opi: very. [11:29] mdke: Ok, no problem [11:30] I normally wouldnt care, but this laptop series has severe overheating issues [11:30] and I mean /severe/ [11:30] mjg59, how do we want to handle multiple people with the same laptop? should they just edit the same page? [11:30] mjg59, if you post on the bug report how I can find out, I'll do it next time I reinstall Ubuntu (i've just restored to factory settings) [11:30] the only way Ive found to fix it is to just have it run at the lowest dynamic cpu speed [11:30] mdke: Ok, thanks [11:30] (cpufreq for the win) [11:30] man, we need a #ubuntu-laptops [11:30] or something [11:31] #laptops'r'us [11:31] --> bed [11:32] laptops are such pains in the ass [11:32] why cant someone just make a totally standards compliant laptop [11:32] one that works out of the box with a number of popular distros [11:32] like, you know what I hate? having to manually install and setup the synaptic driver for the touchpad [11:32] Diablo-D3: too expensive to play with all the parts [11:33] opi: yeah, but why the hell did compaq /make their own thermal chip/ [11:33] no idea [11:33] instead of using some popular chip that plugs into the via686a chipset [11:33] mjg59, what do you think about making it one big table for both releases? [11:33] you know, /like everyone else did/ [11:33] I'd strangle Compaq, but someone beat me to it. [11:34] I'm lucky with Toshiba, with apcitool (I've packaged that: badly;-) I can even turn fan on/off and hibernate it ;) [11:34] heh [11:34] the fan is automatic on mine [11:34] it ramps up the hotter the laptop gets [11:34] I think that people who did a electronic for this laptop, are/was brianless [11:34] thats another thing, btw [11:36] imagine: fan starts at (let say) 40c [11:36] lm-sensors is not automatically setup on any distro [11:36] the mfgrs need to be held accountable for bad thermal designs [11:36] fan kicks in, temp is going down to 39c [11:36] fan stops [11:36] it takes ~15 secunds to get to the 40c level again [11:36] grover: no shit, I've heard stories where presario 700 series laptops literally melted [11:36] fan starts [11:36] opi, Diablo-D3 this discussion is probably best taken elsewhere [11:36] Burgundavia: right [11:36] Burgundavia: I said that earlier [11:36] Burgundavia: we need an #ubuntu-laptop [11:36] Diablo-D3: I'm there ;) [11:36] Diablo-D3 and opi: same here [11:37] mdke: Ok, I've updated the bug [11:38] yay [11:38] #ubuntu-laptop is open for buisness [11:39] mjg59, please take at look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaTecraA5 again [11:40] Burgundavia: Ok, that works nicely for me [11:40] mjg59, mdke suggested it [11:43] mjg59, for the function keys/special keys, do you want a keycode as well? [11:44] Burgundavia: If they generate one. Note that Breezy has much more support by default. [11:45] mjg59, ok [11:50] oh, snap === mpt was just editing the laptop pages [11:51] mpt, go ahead [11:52] Is there a doc somewhere on how to install under a chroot? [11:53] (is that even a useful testable configuration?) === mpt doesn't even know what a chroot is [11:53] Burgundavia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTesting updated [11:54] thanks [11:54] Now making the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingHardware table narrower [11:56] mjg59, what do we want to do with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingHardware [11:56] mjg59, it is really that useful? [11:56] Burgundavia: Leave it for now, I'll worry about it later [11:56] mjg59, ok [11:56] ah, good point [11:57] Why are there many more rows in LaptopTestingHardware than there are subpages of LaptopTestingTeam? [11:57] mpt, shrink the table down [11:57] mpt, Hardware is old [11:57] the subpages are new and what we are going to be using in the future [11:58] oh [11:58] So should LaptopTestingHardware be nuked? [11:58] (I didn't like that name anyway...) [11:58] no [11:58] just mention at the top that it is deprecated [11:59] That Lakin guy just added himself to LaptopTestingHardware [11:59] Lakin Wecker [11:59] yes [12:00] not a problem === mistik1 [I=rasta@ool-44c02704.dyn.optonline.net] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === mpt hits the big red Cancel button
