Kamionmdz: do you have a preliminary list of preview blockers? I'm way, way behind on the bug list12:09
=== olemke_ is now known as olemke
mdzKamion: get usplash enabled by default, fix the virtual console switching problems on the live cd, and fix the language-support-* problem12:13
mdzKamion: I'm behind on installer bugs, too, but the basics were working fine as of Colony 312:16

mdzKamion: any clear blockers on your end?12:22
KamionI've just uploaded archive-copier 0.3.0, which should fix the language-support-* in conjunction with germinate and cdimage changes I made earlier today; but the .0 reflects a lack of testing in the context of the installer12:23

mdzmjg59: around?12:40
mjg59mdz: Hi12:40
mdzmjg59: so I dug a bit into this VT switching problem12:40
mdzand it's clearly impossible that this is happening12:40
Kamionwell, the right way to install usplash by default on first boot, if you don't want it as part of minimal, is probably to create a usplash-udeb that installs it in a base-installer hook12:40
Kamionand make that priority standard12:41
mdzX only does VT_WAITACTIVE _immediately_ (next statement) after VT_ACTIVATE12:41
KamionI don't know if that's packaging overkill though12:41
mdzthe race should be incredibly small12:41
mjg59mdz: Nngh12:41
mjg59mdz: But it doesn't seem to happen off hard drive12:41
mdzmjg59: right12:41
mdzand it doesn't happen if we QUIT usplash12:41
mjg59Yeah12:41
mdzof course, on the hard drive, X starts first12:42
mdzwhile on the live CD, usplash seems to timeout first12:42
mjg59Mm.12:42
=== mvo goes to bed now
mjg59Can you hack usplash, extend the timeout and see how it behaves?12:42
mdzI wonder if I could get it to happen on the hadr rdive12:42
mdzhard drive12:42
mdzmaybe decrease the usplash timeout to <= X startup time12:42
mdzor that12:42
mdzeasier to mess around on the hard drive than on the live cd12:43
mjg59Do you want me to add support for changing the timeout?12:43
mjg59It'd probably make it easier to test12:43
mdza command line parameter would be quite handy12:43
mjg59I can give you either a command line parameter or a usplash_write command12:43
mdzyou haven't seen this happen yet, have you?12:43
mjg59Nope12:43
mdzif you could download a live CD and try it, I'd be interested to know a) that it's not just me, and b) if seeing it gives you any ideas12:44
mjg59Hm. No blank CDs, I'm afraid.12:44
mjg59(Need to rectify that at some point)12:44
mdztricky12:44
Nafallomjg59: that's what CD-RWs are for indeed :-)12:44
CarlFKhows the pxe boot live CD coming?12:45
CarlFKi vaugly remember a few months ago someone having some interest in it, and sayind "shouldn't be to hard"12:46
mdzCarlFK: it's still perfectly workable in concept but nobody has written the code12:46
mdzand it's certainly not a priority for me12:46
CarlFKheh - like many thiungs. 12:46
CarlFKunderstood12:46

mdzwould be handy to have xserver-xorg-dbg on the live CD so I could trace this out12:47
CarlFKdoesn't apt-get work?12:47
mdzit's too late by that point12:48
CarlFKah.12:48
mdzI need it when usplash is still running12:48
mdzthough maybe I could simulate it by starting usplash again later12:48
mdzin fact I should try that in the non-livecd environment right now12:48
Kamionyou could write a post.d script to apt-get install it, I'd've thought12:48
mdzKamion: that's true too12:49

mdzI can't get this to happen outside of the live CD at all12:55
mjg59Hrm.12:56
mdzmjg59: QUIT should have the same effect as the timeout, right?12:56
mjg59mdz: I think so. Let me check.12:56
tsengmjg59: hibernate is still broken across the board, correct?12:56
mdzlooks like it12:56
mjg59tseng: Depends. Hang on.12:57

mdzi386 or amd64 is fine01:02
elmowell, I can in 50 minutes...01:03
Kamionelmo: re your powerpc lvm bug, installation on lvm isn't supported yet on powerpc so I'll probably just disable that option01:04
Kamionelmo: have you tried it on i386/amd64 recently?01:04
elmoKamion: not yet01:04
elmowe're planning on starting breezy server testing tomorrow and/or whenever next colony is01:05
slomohm, is someone with an ibook g4 here who runs an (fairly) up to date breezy with initramfs and the like?01:06
=== tritium [n=michael@pcp0011975002pcs.sandia01.nm.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
crimsuntritium has an ibook or an imac, I don't remember which01:08
tritiumhmm?  I have a new 20" iMac...01:08
tritiumWhat's up?01:08
mdzKamion: it was suggested that perhaps the lvm option should be less obvious; I'm inclined to agree if that's easy to do01:09
crimsuntritium: slomo was asking for someone with an ibook g401:09
tritiumOh, okay.  hoary and breezy kernel panic on the new iMac, so I can't put ubuntu on it yet anyway01:10
Kamionmdz: I do think it gets in the way too much as it is given that we decided not to make it the default, but I'm unsure as to where else to put it01:10
slomotritium: for breezy what panic do you get? something about unable to mount root fs?01:10
tritiumslomo, sounds right.  It has been a while since I tried it.  I'll try again if you like.01:11
slomotritium: would be perfect :) i talked to the kernel guys already but they couldn't reproduce my problem and had no idea what was wrong01:12
tritiumOkay, I'll download a daily image and give it a try.  It'll be a few hours before I'm back, and can give you an update, slomo 01:13
slomotritium: ok, fine :) i also tried the daily a few hours ago and it didn't work for me... colony 3 don't work too... only colony 2 ;)01:13
tritiumslomo, okay, will do.01:14
slomotritium: thanks :)01:14
tritiumslomo, No problem :)  Both install and live?01:15
slomotritium: i only tried install... but as rescue mode and installer are working i see no reason why the live cd shouldn't work ;)01:16
tritiumokay, grabbing install CD now01:17
slomoand i install again from colony 2 ;) i need the ibook tomorrow :/01:18
=== mcella [n=Miranda@host119-175.pool80104.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel
tritiumslomo, you might also ask nalioth what he's tried with all his powerpc machines.  He's a good resource01:20
mdzKamion: I think I'd prefer that usplash just deal with being installed after the kernel01:20
=== tseng [n=brandon@smarterits.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzKamion: my only reservation is that regenerating the initramfs can be risky01:21
Kamionmdz: I didn't realise that there was a problem there; I was simply referring to the task of getting it installed on first boot01:22
slomotritium: thanks :) i'll do tomorrow01:25
=== StrikeForce [n=marc@dsl-202-72-163-232.wa.westnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzKamion: it's certainly the simplest solution: have usplash re-mkinitramfs in its postinst01:25
StrikeForcehey all01:25
mdzmjg59: what do you think?01:25
StrikeForceI uploaded a package that was in main to revu can someone revu it please?01:26
mjg59mdz: Hrm. Which kernel would it change?01:26
mdzmjg59: the one the default symlink points to01:27
mjg59Ah, ok01:27
mdzwe do default symlinks on powerpc too, right?01:27
mjg59Yeah, I'm good with that01:27
slomomdz: yes01:27
Kamionmdz: yes; just note that on some arches they're in / and on others they're in /boot01:27
Kamionfor historical reasons01:28
mjg59mdz: There's a bzr repository at people.debian.org/~mjg59/usplash01:28
mjg59I'm too tired to write code that might break someone's boot right now :)01:28
mdzmjg59: ok, this is interesting01:31
mdzmjg59: it's only ~4 seconds after gdm startup that I see the console switch01:31
mdznot 1501:31
mdzand it's going back to vt2, which is where it was when usplash was started01:32
mjg59mdz: Hrm. Then I suspect something nasty in the usplash vt switch signal logic01:32
mdzmjg59: I have an strace from the X server if that interests you01:33
mdzI'm not even entirely surely that usplash is exiting; it's difficult to check at that stage01:33
mdzI don't know why else I would go to vt2 though01:33
mdzOH01:34
mdzwhat does usplash od if it gets an invalid progress value?01:34
mdzwell, bother, it just ignores it as it should01:34
mjg59Uhm. Unsure.01:34
mjg59Yeah01:34
mjg59mdz: The thing I'd recommend looking at is the bogl code that handles VT switches01:35
mdzmjg59: but I don't know what would be triggering a vt switch01:35
mdzdoes usplash catch any signals?01:35
mjg59Yes01:35
mjg59It registers USR2 for VT switches01:36
mdzhmm, I don't know what would be sending it USR201:36
mjg59The kernel01:36
mdzoh?01:36
mjg59Yeah01:36
mjg59Check the code in bogl.c01:36
mjg59There's an ioctl to request a signal on VT switches01:36
=== macgyver2 [n=eric@unaffiliated/macgyver2] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzoh, VT_SETMODE01:37
sladenmjg59: you don't need to use the ioctl;  you can echo an escape string to the console01:37
sladenmjg59: == saves being root01:37
mdzthat explains it01:37
=== kent [n=kent@h55d210.delphi.afb.lu.se] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzmjg59: I thought you were just hanging around and timing out, and at that time checking if there had been a vt switch01:37
mjg59Ah, nope01:38
mdzso it's entirely reasonable that this could be racy01:38
mdzsince X's VT_ACTIVATE should trigger the signal01:38
mjg59mdz: Yeah - sorry, I thought you realised that that was what it was doing01:39
mjg59The idea is that someone can press ctrl+alt+f1 and get back to the normal console01:39
mdzmjg59: shouldn't that Just Work?01:40
mdzoh, I suppose not, if it'd continue drawing01:40
mjg59Yeah01:40
mdzwhat does VT_RELDISP do?01:40
mdzah, tells the kernel it's OK to switch01:41
=== wasabi [n=wasabi@c-67-173-207-169.hsd1.tx.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
=== Kamion -> bed
mdzmjg59: so the SIGUSR2 triggers bogl's handler, which cleans itself up and tells the kernel it's OK to switch, and also interrupts the select loop and causes usplash to exit?01:44
sladenmdz: it's an ack/disallow from userspace to the kernel before a switch is actually made01:44
mjg59mdz: I think it just exits itself, doesn't it?01:44
mjg59I'll admit to not having checked over that code path very well01:44
mdzmjg59: vt_switch() seems to just enable/disable bogl stuff01:45
mdzmjg59: presumably select(2) returns -EINTR or so, and you break out of the loop on any error from select01:45
mjg59Yeah01:45
mjg59I'd guess01:45
mdzaha01:45
mdzyep01:45
mdz-> ERESTARTNOHAND01:45
mdzmjg59: this is so a usplash bug :-P01:46
mjg59Haha01:46
mdzit shouldn't try to switch consoles if the reason that we're exiting is because the user switched consoles01:46
mjg59I've never claimed that my software is bugfree01:46
mjg59Nngh. Right.01:46
mdzmjg59: a quick test confirms that if I start usplash and hit ctrl+alt+f3, I still end up back at vt201:47
mdzI'll see what I can do with it01:48
sladenmjg59: if you don't request the VT_POSSESION (in bogl) then switching will just happen on its own01:48
mjg59sladen: bogl needs to know to stop drawing to the framebuffer01:49

elmowow, live cd is painfully slow on this laptop02:21
elmois breezy's slower or is it the cdrom and/or lack of memory (256) in this machine?02:21
TerminXI could see GNOME on 256 megs being pretty slow..02:22
mdzelmo: it's lack of DMA on the CD02:22
elmothis is nowhere near gnome02:22

jbaileyThat's all I do.04:56
windubi thought you were looping around /dev/hd* /dev/sda* stuff as well in there04:56

jbaileyMaybe it wasn't doing this magic for us.05:00

jbaileyYour SATA stuff shows up as /dev/sd* and your PATA stuff as /dev/hd* right?05:05
windubyeah05:05
jbaileyThe assembly is done in userspace by a shellscript.05:05
winduband the kernel *doesn't* do autodetection anymore?05:05

thesaltydogsiretart, no bugs. Just a big program enhancement. New features.10:17
thesaltydogsiretart, I have added a full file-search capability, auto-monitoring of volumes and directory changes, etc..10:18
siretartthesaltydog: sorry. UVF is about stabilizing, and not letting new crack with potential bugs in. we need the time to fix existing bugs10:18
Mithrandirmvo: hmm, daily install didn't work; hung on untrusted packages question (about language-pack-no).  Just killing aptitude and letting it be restarted fixed the problem.10:18

infinitysiretart : So, did you get assigned as the gateway for UVF exceptions in universe, then?10:21
BurgundaviaMithrandir, is that not a gksu issue?10:21
thesaltydogsiretart, but after release, the version update will be automatic or should I ask for?10:21
siretartinfinity: actually, ogra is, but he has delegates, and yes, he appointed me as one of the delegates10:21
MithrandirBurgundavia: possibly.10:22
infinitysiretart : Neat.  How do you feel about me updating php4 to the (now well-tested, given its age) 4.4.0 version in Debian?10:22
BurgundaviaMithrandir, because in breezy gksudo is very slow10:22
Lathiat_its ok, only mum said no, you can  still go ask dad before mum tells dad she said no10:22

=== carlos [n=carlos@243.Red-83-47-24.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
siretartthesaltydog: not fully automatic, because we have diffs to the debian version. we have to merge new debian upstreams manually, but we will10:23
MithrandirBurgundavia: well, it should still show a progress thingy, since it takes a few seconds on a freshly installed XP2400+ system here.10:23
thesaltydogsiretart, ok, thanks. Have a good day.10:23
mvoMithrandir: the untrusted prompt in aptitude usually means that something went wrong before, e.g. a failed aptitude update10:23
BurgundaviaMithrandir, yes it does10:24
BurgundaviaMithrandir, there is a bug open for a the stupidly long wait time, just a sec10:24
siretartinfinity: well, you are maintainer of php4, and know really more about the consequences of this upgrade. I should ask therefore you ;)10:24
MithrandirBurgundavia: not when launched from the update-notifier tray applet, it doesn't.10:24
Mithrandirmvo: hmm, I can do a new test install and see.10:24
zygawhere is the language-selector template in rosetta?10:24
infinitysiretart : Yes, but I don't want to just shove it in without approval from someone else.  If it was for main, I'd be asking mdz. :)10:25
BurgundaviaMithrandir, https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1218310:25

fabbionehey mvo10:26
mvohey fabbione 10:26
siretartinfinity: I don't know and don't use php4 that much, and would need to do some research about changes from 4.3 to 4.4. if you think we should have it in breezy because it fixes bugs and does not harm existing application, I'd trust you that you do the right thing.10:26
fabbionemvo: as i wrote to you.. gdb hangs..10:26
fabbionethere is no backtrace10:26
mvofabbione: yes, I got that message. what arch is that hang happening on?10:27
fabbionemvo: still sparc...10:27
infinitysiretart : Alright.  I'll exercise my own judgement then.  First, I need to figure out why we still have a few bits from php4 hanging around in main instead of universe, though. :/10:27
siretartinfinity: but rather talk to ogra about this, since as far as I know, he uses php4 for edubuntu10:27
=== infinity goes to speak with germinate.

KeybukDiziet: so your idea is to never remove conffiles from status & list even after the package has removed them -- and just record them as obsolete.12:19
DizietYes.12:22
DizietThey'd disappear from status and list if some other package took them over.  Otherwise they'd stay on the disk and in dpkg's records.12:23
Keybukthis means that if the conffile turns up again, either in the package or another one, we have the md5sum it used to be12:23
Keybukright?12:25
DizietRight.12:26
DizietThe only downside is that if (for example) the obsolete file is part of an package which ends up in state config-files, the user might purge it.12:26
DizietIf the file really is obsolete then it gets deleted, which is right.12:26
DizietBut the file might not be obsolete; it might be script-handled by the new package.12:26
DizietBut who goes around purging old obsolete packages, anyway ?12:27
Mithrandir*hand*12:27
Mithrandir:-P12:27
Keybuk_o/12:27
jsgotangcobye12:27
Keybukthat kind of thing happens a lot, usually when someone takes a perfectly sane "postgresql" package and turns it into "postgresql-7.4"12:28
Keybuk(or bind -> bind8 + bind9 )12:29
DizietIndeed so.12:29
Keybukpeople purge the old one, and they'd lose the config files for the new one12:29
KeybukI guess it'd be safer to just not remove obsolete files on purge12:29
Mithrandirwhich makes them angry.12:29
danielsthe semantics I would expect would be that dpkg keeps a conffile record around while the package still exists12:29

danielss/package/file/12:29
danielsso, if /etc/X11/rgb.txt is owned and xorg-common gets removed (non-purge), the record stays12:29
Keybukwhich is the current behaviour, it's still sucky, but it least it breaks in known ways12:29
danielsif xrgb gets installed and starts providing /etc/X11/rgb.txt, I would expect that the conffile record get removed from xorg-common and move to xrgb12:30
danielsif xrgb gets purged, I would expect that the conffile record disappears12:30
Keybukdaniels: right.12:30
MithrandirKeybuk: how hard would it be to add dynamic registration and unregistration of files?12:30
Dizietkeybuk: The file only gets wrongly removed on purge if the file went from conffile to script-maintained in the same upgrade as it changed packages.12:30
Keybukwhy the same upgrade?12:30
pittiKeybuk: the postgresql 7.5 upgrade package will clean up, btw12:30
DizietErr, no, I'm wrong: also if it went to script-maintained before it changed packages.12:30
Keybukwouldn't it happen at any point before?12:30
pittiKeybuk: s/upgrade/transition/12:30
Keybukxorg-common ships /etc/X11/rgb.txt as a conffile12:31
Keybukthen in an update, turns it into script-managed12:31
Keybukand then xrgb ships it as a script-managed file12:31
Keybukxorg-common gets purged (maybe we're using something else) ... it'd take /etc/X11/rgb.txt with it12:31
Keybukpitti: you know I just love to pick on you <g>12:31
Dizietkeybuk: Exactly the problem case, yes.12:31
danielshow about you don't purge it if the md5sum is different12:31
danielsor, at least, prompt on purge if the md5sum is different12:32
pittiKeybuk: sure :-) I'm glad to be useful as bad example :-)12:32
DizietThat doesn't help.  The maintainer scripts might have carefully avoided touching the file.12:32
Keybukdaniels: still doesn't help ... it might just be not different12:32
danielsKeybuk: *shrug*, 'you get what you deserve'12:32
DizietOne option would be just not to delete the file on purge - just forget about it.12:32
Keybukthat option certainly doesn't change anything12:32
danielsDiziet: so then what does purge have over remove?12:32
Keybukwe don't delete obsolete conffiles now12:33
pittidaniels: prompting would be so evil - when I say "purge", I usually mean it...12:33
Keybukdaniels: this is only about obsolete conffiles -- things that were conffiles once, but aren't anymore12:33
DizietIn the future there should be a way for a package to say `this used to be a conffile and now it's known to be obsolete'.12:33
danielspitti: beats prompts on upgrades12:33
danielsKeybuk: so how do you know they've changed hands?12:33
Keybukwe don't12:33
pittidaniels: right, but it's still evil...12:33
danielsKeybuk: i.e. if, as you say, xrgb ships rgb.txt from postinst, rather than as a conffile12:33
danielsKeybuk: so you have no way to separate the cases of orphaned, and 'obsolete'12:33
infinityscript-generated files aren't currently owned by anyone, so nothng really changes there if you just mark it obsolete.12:33
Mithrandirdaniels: it'd work fine if you could register and unregister conffiles in a postinst.12:34

Kamionsabdfl: a number of changes are required; firstly fairly trivial though slightly time-consuming stuff with hardcoded component names in various places; secondly I really don't want regular CD builds to have access to universe because not having universe packages on disk is a really useful guarantee that they can't be used for Ubuntu CD builds01:31

MithrandirKamion: and wbritish is not downloaded; it's the copied version which is installed.03:40

KamionMithrandir: ok, this is truly weird then03:41

DizietJoy.  My new dpkg creates a status file that makes old dpkg coredump.04:31
tim1I would have to install 50+ drivers for hardware i don't have to use fglrx04:31
danielslook, seriously, I'm only going to say this once04:32
danielsthe point of creating xserver-xorg-core and splitting it wasn't so you could uninstall stuff04:32
danielsif you're worried about like 15MB, you can find it much easier in other places04:32
sabdflthe point is to accelerate the development04:32
chmjshackan: ping 04:32
tepsipakkiwell, why does xserver-xorg say that it is a dummy package, that you can remove if not needed ?-)04:32
sabdflbecause each of these packages can have a separate team, or additoinal contributors04:33
rtcmdaniels: btw, any idea why the sis driver has almost 3 MB while I have one from the original authos with about 600 kb?04:33
sabdflsmaller uploads, smaller teams, modular will be a big win from a community development point of view04:33
sabdflit will be easier to find contributors for a driver, or a library, than the whole hog04:33
tepsipakkiI know the benefits, just wondered those silly dependencies04:34
tim1ok, got it, I didn't ask this because i was worried about some dis space, I actually thought it would be a bug04:34
bddebianseb128: No thoughts on what I should do?04:34

Kamionyeah, I think it's deleting all .debs over 30 days old06:22

edwarddesif your looking to run xen on your laptop, see the announcement on ubuntu-devel maining list about my summer of code work09:22
jdubedwarddes: i did, and it's making me itch!09:22
elmoslomo: eh, pls mail me, I'm busy now and this doesn't look simple or obvious09:22
jdubunfortunately, i have a policy of only running ubuntu-shipped kernels09:23
slomoelmo: ok, will do09:23
edwarddesyou may run into issues using the basic kernel configs i provided with laptop hardware09:23
jdubwell, more an oath than a policy09:23
edwarddesoh, well, if it makes you happier, im working on a more ubuntuish kernel config to ship with it09:23
jdubit's not really possible to build xen modules separately, is it?09:25
mdzlamont: ?09:25
elmojdub: no09:25
elmoor more to the point, you need to patch the kernel regardless09:25
Mithrandirjdub: it's not a module.09:25
edwarddesno, it modifies a bunch of the i386 arch stuff09:25
Mithrandiredwarddes: which kernel version have you based it on?09:25
jdubwill there be a day when all kernels are xenabled?09:26
jdubor are there good reasons to pick and choose09:26
jdub?09:26
edwarddespeople are working on merging the xen patches into the mainline kernel tree09:26
Mithrandirjdub: which is why I think the work done by benno is really nice.  It requires a minimal patch to the kernel and gives you the same performance as Xen.09:26
edwarddesbut you cant have a kernel that will run on native hardware and one that will run on the xen hypervisor09:26
jdubMithrandir: hmm. i should check up on what he's doing09:27
jdubMithrandir: will be intersting for breezy+109:27
edwarddesbut once the xen support is in all the kernel releases, it would be simple to modify the ubuntu kernel config and just rebuild with xen09:27
Mithrandirjdub: http://l4ka.org/projects/virtualization/afterburn/09:28
wasabiSo has anybody actually used Xen to boot windows or are teh mods to extensive to do?09:29
wasabiwithout source etc 09:29
edwarddeswith the new VT-x or pacifica extensions that will be availible soon from intel and amd it will work09:29
Mithrandirwasabi: the mods aren't redistributable.09:29
wasabiAhh.09:29
wasabiSo I can find them, somewhere. ;)09:30
