[04:16] spstarr: the bottom line is - if you need it, it runs. if you don't, it doesn't. [04:16] probably because of initramfs and the kernel [04:17] are you trying to use some kind of smart package management thats removing everything it depended on or something?

[04:46] so i have a 99% ubuntu breezy with some debian unstable floating around which will eventually get replaced as dependencies need [04:46] and you'll have config files that may or may not match the package versions you have installed [04:46] 780 packages have #ubuntu# marked [04:46] ajmitch, it replaced most of them since i removed all system daemons except udev [04:47] which appears broke for me (hangs forever so im using debian unstable version) [04:47] 0.68 [04:48] ajmitch: i wouldn't expect much breakage since breezy has much of debian unstable [04:48] let's just say it's been a pleasent migration :) [04:48] spstarr: i would, it has alot of it but theres alot of differences, and intermixing package versions like that can have all sorts of unexpected results, a prime example being your broken udev as no one else has that problem [04:49] well i am using mainline kernels off the shelf [04:49] so its not totally without pain, be warned :) [04:49] well, 3 weeks so far, it's been just great [04:50] as a former linuxfromscratch nut, i can picture almost all of the dependencies in my head [04:50] you're using mainline kernels? [04:51] oh yes [04:51] I wouldn't be surprised if things mysteriously didn't work [04:51] im glad ubuntu hasn't complained (other than udev) [04:51] yeah [04:53] i just have to switch back to Xorg-HEAD, 6.8.2 is killing my video card, the laptop fan is always on since redrawing text has to page the whole window up each time [04:53] (in a konsole) === BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ozamosi [n=nnnnnnnn@h139n9c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:55] hopefully the xkb stuff is unborked (pressing keys randomly resized the video for some reason) [04:57] works for me (modular tree, at least) [04:57] building it all again now [04:57] (in usr/local/X11R6) [04:58] im wondering if i need to do some --prefix magic to tell it to look in usr/local for xkb config stuff instead of 6.8.2's version [04:58] you probably want the xkeyboard-config stuff [04:59] wa-hey!

[06:04] cus his was a desktop issue now? until now i thought it seemed ot be only reported on dell laptops, but i have no idea of the underlying proble [06:04] m [06:05] Not a Dell here, my daily freezes have been on an IBM laptop. [06:05] ah ok [06:05] so its general then [06:05] But if it really is an SATA issue, then it could happen anywhere. [06:05] btw i thought we had the patch for SMART w/ SATA ? [06:06] Lathiat: no.. we have "go to sleep SATA" [06:06] ah ok i knew about that one, just thought we had the smart one too [06:08] wonder if mjg59 had any luck with the dualpoint issue === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:37] mdz :ping.

[06:54] we can rebuild main at least, to make sure nothing breaks, FWIW [06:55] tho you just messed the latest b-at run of DOOM [06:55] elmo: i dunno all the tetex internals.. i am more worried about runtime breakage [06:55] tetex-extra is for freeekay stuff [06:55] did i break what? [06:56] when? [06:56] how? [06:57] elmo: how can i push to you a stripped version for b-at ? [06:57] well [06:57] we'll definitely be doing more main runs , like weekly, so can it wait for the next one? [06:58] if not I suppose I could pause this one, and restart it later today [06:58] elmo: i am ok to wait.. given that i need to prepare the pkg first [06:58] elmo: how can i push the pkg to you without uploading to the archive? [06:58] you don't [06:59] we have to strip this dude [06:59] if stuff breaks, we'll fix the stuff [06:59] so upload to the archive, and I'll sync from there [06:59] (that's how b-at works, it syncs from b) [06:59] anyway, I need to crash. g'night [07:00] elmo : Oh, wait!

[07:30] we might have to drop tetex* from main [07:31] fabbione : I've tested enough here to satisfy myself, and my bandwidth sucks, so I'll just do the source upload. :) [07:31] infinity: works for me [07:33] mdz: can we get a picture of what would happen if we move tetex* out of main?

[10:50] fabbione: Which files are guaranteed to stay stable during a releasecycle? [10:50] till you will be so tired of them that you must reboot with the proper kernel :) [10:50] hunger: a bunch [10:51] on fresh install i could just use sources.list [10:51] so as soon as you add one extra repo, i will refuse to boot :P [10:52] fabbione: Require a TPM and use the trusted grub;-) [10:52] fabbione: Imagine all the PR: "Ubuntu looks down software even before MS managed to do it!" ;-) [10:52] that won't work either.. grub loads dynamically a set of files [10:52] hm, my laptop has a TPM chip...

[10:55] hunger: uh? [10:56] aehm... stop them using incompatible kernel debs of course:-) [10:56] hunger: no, i don't want people to run breezy kernel in warty (for example) [10:56] becuase it breaks [10:56] fabbione: +1 so far, am trying to arrange some stress testing today [10:56] fabbione: fix the incompatibilities, then. [10:56] continuous LP "make check" runs should do it ;-) [10:56] and people are not always aware of all the subtle breakage that can happen with kernel/userland mistmatch [10:56] fabbione: Yeap: Ypou want to stop people from using kernel debs that are known to break their release. [10:56] Mithrandir: you can't [10:57] sabdfl: cool! thanks for testing [10:57] hunger: exactly. [10:57] hunger: it's not meant to be in bad way [10:57] it's meant to protect user to do stupid things [10:57] fabbione: Which was what I was trying to say to Mithrandir (and obviously failed to convey). [10:57] sabdfl: ehehhe.. [10:58] i need to checkout LP once for fun [10:58] fabbione: express it in the package dependency system [10:58] LP? [10:59] hunger: no, I think you/he is trying to solve the problem in the wrong way. [10:59] Mithrandir: it can be easily overriden [10:59] fabbione: yes, and so? [10:59] Mithrandir: that won't solve the problem [10:59] fabbione: dude, people can fuck their system if they try hard to . You can't stop them. [10:59] Mithrandir: that's true.. [11:00] make it obvious that it's what they're doing, but if they proceed, well, then they do it at their own risk. [11:00] fabbione: I think Mithrandir has a point: You can't stop people from being stupid. You just should try to protect them by default. [11:00] <[Chameleon] > fabbione: can you simple parse the /etc/lsb-release file and check version in a pre-install script? [11:01] fabbione: If someone forces a kernel to get installed then he must expect problems... and he will probably mess with your hashes or whatever you come up with, too.

[11:04] Mithrandir: because a lot of users have been playing backports, broken their systems and come back with the most desperate bugs that nobody was able to understand [11:04] till we figured their were running whatever unknown backport repository [11:04] = a lot of time spent for really hard to support configs [11:04] fabbione: I think it would be better if you could collect data about the release for the bugreport so that you know you can close it because the users were stupid. === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:05] refuse to fix weird bugs unless you see a sources.list ad dpkg -l output [11:05] hunger: eh.. if it only was that simple... [11:05] they still reopen bugs and complain and blablabla [11:06] fabbione: Sure... but what makes you think making it harder for them to install a broken kernel will stop stupid people from being a pain? [11:06] hunger: it's a balance [11:06] i make it harder for him to break his system [11:07] I guess the backporters are just going to rip out that protection anyhow [11:07] i warn him a few extra times [11:07] at that point i feel much less guilty to wave him kthxbye [11:07] fabbione: You come up with something clever... next day there will be a wiki page about how to get around the fabbione-bossyness and the day after you get your bugreports. [11:08] fabbione: There will be some namecalling about you taking the freedom to ruin your system, too. [11:09] hunger: that's the same kind of namecalling when we smash systems by mistake [11:09] so they have no point in the latter [11:09] <[Chameleon] > back, was taking care of laundry [11:09] yes.. there might be a wiki page...

[01:39] <\sh> Mithrandir / maswan: can u please install on ravel breezy chroot: debmake glade-2 bison [01:40] Diziet: any concrete date? [01:40] <\sh> seb128: I can try :) [01:40] \sh: I planned to not upgrade because 0.1.5 works quite fine and new version has a bunch of changes/rewrittable but that's worth knowing if it fixes it [01:41] pitti: They're freezing today. [01:41] Diziet: ok, so it has a chance to go into Breezy? [01:41] They're asking me `do I mind if they don't include this fix' (the textarea segfault) which obviously I don't mind but I think they're probably making a mistake. [01:41] Well, yes, but I'm not sure how late we'd want to take one. [01:41] Diziet: the 1.0.6->1.0.7 upgrade should be much less painful than warty's beta version juggling [01:42] Diziet: you are maintaining firefox package atm? [01:42] Diziet: if they release by next week, that should be fine [01:43] I haven't found out their schedule yet, but I would have hoped they would. [01:43] <\sh> seb128: working on it... [01:43] \sh: thanks [01:43] \sh: according to the code the debug is when inotify send a delete signal for the folder... I'm wondering why that happens [01:44] \sh: have you an idea on what trigger the bug? dist-upgrade? package install or removal? [01:44] elmo: please sync groff 1.18.1.1-10 from incoming; mdz OKed it last night [01:44] <\sh> seb128: nothing...I just restarted the session...and did nothing at all...running gnome-terminal, firefox and evolution [01:45] <\sh> seb128: did gam_inotify.c: In function 'mask_to_gam_event': [01:45] <\sh> gam_inotify.c:259: error: 'IN_MOVE_SELF' undeclared (first use in this function) [01:45] <\sh> gam_inotify.c:259: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once [01:45] 2005-09-13 11:36:18 GMT Colin Watson patch-153 [01:45] <\sh> say anything to you? [01:45] Summary: [01:45] ogra: ^-- [01:45] Edubuntu: re-enable IP address preseeding (requires cdebconf 0.84ubuntu6); switch to 192.168.0.2 to work around netcfg bug [01:45] yay [01:45] Kamion, thanls a lot :) [01:45] thanks even [01:45] no problem [01:46] Kamion, i have some reports that the server bootoption doesnt work for the CD ... did you disable it ? [01:47] pitti, Kamion: thanks. We'll see what they say. [01:47] ogra: you told me to rename it to edubuntu [01:47] i'm not particulary after having a server option on the Cd if it generates work, but i'll have to fix the introduction text... [01:47] \sh: nop [01:47] ogra: if you want me to re-add a server option, I'll do that [01:48] ogra: (server meaning "base system only") [01:48] Kamion, if its easy done, yes, if it takes time, no, then i'll just submit a fixed intro text [01:48] yup... [01:48] it's straightforward, I'll do it now [01:48] ok, thanks [01:48] <\sh> IN_MOVE_SELF the same as IN_DELETE_SELF [01:48] <\sh> hmmm [01:48] Diziet: could you push this change with the next upload: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8680 ? xfce guys would be happy to have a desktop running without gnome libs used === infinito [n=infinito@75.Red-80-59-227.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:49] seb: Looking at it now. [01:50] Kamion: do you have a idea how we could fail more gracefully in #13713? some sort of timeout maybe? [01:50] Diziet: the changed the dh_install to exclude imgicon, modified the .install ... and there is probably a Replaces to put too. That should get ride of the firefox depends on GNOME [01:50] Diziet: thanks [01:50] <\sh> seb128: i have to patch this [01:51] <\sh> seb128: it pulls in linux/inotify.h but #define IN_MOVE_SELF 0x00000800 /* Self was moved */ [01:51] <\sh> is not defined in there [01:52] seb: That doesn't look too hard. Sure, I'll put it in my upload this afternoon. [01:52] Diziet: thank you [01:52] I'll let you know if I come across a snag that means I have to bail on it. [01:53] k [01:53] ogra: done [01:53] mvo: perhaps you could just fail rather than prompting if stdin is not a tty, and I could redirect aptitude's stdin from /dev/null in base-config? [01:55] Kamion, thanks [01:56] <\sh> ok..restarting session [01:56] <\sh> brb === TWD [n=chatzill@LAubervilliers-151-12-90-52.w193-252.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Xof [n=mas01cr@158.223.59.22] has joined #ubuntu-devel === camilotelles [n=Camilo@20132139198.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:59] Kamion: I could change that in aptitude (it has it's own MediaChange code). would that mean that cd-only server installs always fail? because there is no network fallback for the needed packages? [02:00] mvo: no, CD-only server installs still copy a few .debs to the hard disk so that it all works [02:00] mvo: it only breaks if (a) there's a bug or (b) if you deliberately skip the code that makes it work, as some people seem to feel the need to do :-) [02:01] <\sh> seb128: strange...sending SIGUSR2 to the new gamin doesn't give me any debug output file anymore [02:03] Kamion: ok, that sounds reasonable, thanks. I'll add a comment to the bug and implmenent the needed change in aptitude [02:04] mvo: Great, thanks. There's nothing else in apt/aptitude that will fall over if I redirect stdin from /dev/null, is there? [02:04] actually I guess I could just try that out now [02:04] Kamion: I don't think there will, but it's certainly better if you try it :) [02:05] \sh: there is no upstream bug about that :/ [02:05] \sh: how quick do you have the issue? does it happen with the "pan" entry too? [02:06] <\sh> seb128: it takes sometime...for the last debug session it was 30 mins [02:06] \sh: I maybe known why I've not the issue, I still use 2.6.12-3-k7 [02:06] s/known/know/ [02:06] lemme try with an update linux package [02:06] if that's it, that due to inotify code [02:07] <\sh> seb128: ok...I don't get a debug output at all...so I'm just waiting for something to happen ;) [02:07] that's fine too === trulux [n=lorenzo@unaffiliated/trulux] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Kronoss [n=kronoss@FW-7-250.go.retevision.es] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:07] \sh: we just need to know if that happens with it too [02:07] hi [02:08] <\sh> seb128: yeah === ivoks [n=ivoks@lns01-0169.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-devel === aeddan [n=aeddan@203.39.89.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mpt [n=mpt@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:16] what filesystem i use mounting initrd ? === tiefox [n=tiefox@200.175.93.116.tbprof.gvt.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel === brad_s|away is now known as brad_s === pitti [n=pitti@195.227.105.180] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:19] <\sh> seb128: inotify: resource /usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications went away.

[02:33] spacey: about the i18n patches? [02:33] no [02:33] fabbione: sata problems? [02:33] spacey: then no, please help me :) [02:33] about working on ubuntu for my school/study [02:33] spacey: right, rings a bell now [02:34] i got reply from my school, and its probably OK. But need to state my activities clearly, and need someone for guidance/supervising. and the difficulty should be high enough [02:34] you know who i should contact about this? [02:34] spacey: I think JaneW might be a good person to talk to [02:35] JaneW: around? === mvo curses heartlily at apts MediaChange code [02:36] oh and i have to learn something new. [02:36] spacey: but I think that shouldn't be a prolbem. at least the "learn something new and it must be difficult" bits ;) [02:37] spacey: the good thing is that you can more-or-less choose what to work on (or at least in what area). do you already thought about what interessts you most? [02:38] yes [02:40] mvo: with a month to the release will anyone be prepared to act as a mentor? [02:40] mvo: even the Google SoC was tough at times and that's already wrapped [02:40] JaneW: *nod*, we probably can't do that before the release. spacey, when does your work has to start? [02:41] it would start in november till end of januari [02:42] so around the time of UBZ, I guess [02:42] spacey, JaneW: that should match pretty well with our development cycle [02:42] have to look up the exact dates, but it ends end of jan. and it its like 9 weeks [02:43] starts in november i'm sure [02:44] mvo, spacey : that;s good news :) [02:44] spacey: you should probably try for a bounty...? [02:45] spacey: assuming you have some skills already... === pvanhoof [n=pvanhoof@d5152D086.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:45] JaneW, i'll look at that as well, but besides that i would like to master packaging stuff, generel development. school demands that i need to learn something new in any way [02:46] JaneW, my coding skills are quiet limited unfortunately [02:46] <\sh> seb128: until now, no disappearing ... but I can see some issues, that inotify wants to delete the dirs..but readds them again [02:47] spacey: may I ask what school/subject you do? [02:48] fabbione: Running your kernel now. Let's see how stable it is:-) [02:48] Informatica (dutch name), IT stuff, i can code somewhat but not my strong point, but i know the basics [02:49] hunger: thanks for testing [02:49] \sh: k, so inotify has some issue and gamin handle that it seems? [02:50] <\sh> seb128: looks like...0.1.6 that is now [02:50] mvo, as a side job i deploy linux stuff, and in general i'm at least advanced user/admin, but want to pick up the development stuff, would be great if i can do that for school/ubuntu [02:50] <\sh> seb128: and for 0.1.6 u have to patch something in server/gam_inotify.c [02:50] \sh: but you get panel crashes?

[03:05] ok [03:06] but i guess it will be spread out a little more [03:06] mvo: redirecting from /dev/null seems to be working OK, although I've yet to try an install that asks a debconf question [03:06] if it works, I'll upload that [03:06] spacey: I guess you'd need to focus on some specific task, right? === aeddan_ [n=aeddan@203.39.89.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel === seb128 [n=seb128@ANancy-151-1-49-236.w83-196.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel === brad_s [n=brad@wbs-146-164-178.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:08] ajmitch, well i don't think thats neccesary but at least some main tasks i guess [03:08] Kamion: thanks! apt is not dealing with with possibility of a cdrom method failing ATM, but I'm on it === carstenh [n=carstenh@mkfw.fh-trier.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel === bradb_ [n=bradb@modemcable033.209-70-69.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mxpxpod [n=BryanFor@unaffiliated/mxpxpod] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:16] Meh.

On 5.04 this was as simple as installing server, followed by x-window-system-core, xterm. Then using Universe, installing xdm and xfce4 then rebooting. The system would come back up w/ xdm & xfce. On 5.10, I followed the exact same process. The system tries to go to the xdm gui but fails and drops me to Alt-F8 w/ a message of "Starting X display manager. [03:30] I have done a dpkg -l on both installs and compared. [03:30] Nothing sticks out as "missing" from the 5.10 installation. [03:30] My logic tells me then that there is something wrong with the 5.10 xdm or some other package. [03:31] Does X work if you manually start it? [03:31] w/out xdm installed, I can get X to work. [03:31] i.e. I can manually start xfce [03:31] As soon as xdm is installed, xfce fails to start as well. === bob2 [n=rob@crumbs.ertius.org] has joined #ubuntu-devel === azeem [n=mbanck@proxy-out.lrz-muenchen.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:32] linuxsbartley, is the xinit package up to date ? there was a bug with Xsession not being executalble recently [03:32] afaik xdm aprses that...

[03:44] can someon give a hint how the Hoary live cd is created? I guess: Two PVs, the main file system located on one of them, the system installed there. Then the VG is stopped, then the snapshot is created using the space of the second PV. Then the VG is stopped, the first PV is compressed with cloop, the second (beeing a sparse file) is compressed and stored separately. [03:44] correct? [03:45] HiddenWolf: yes? [03:45] pitti, I still have cd's being auto-mounted at boot. That isn't preferred behavior, right? [03:46] HiddenWolf: that's actually supposed to be like this [03:46] HiddenWolf: however, you can configure it in system -> prefs -> removable devices [03:47] pitti: hum, that's supposed to be like this? [03:47] pitti, it was my understanding what when you pop a cd in, it gets automounted, popped in your face, but when it is already in the drive at boot, it just gets mounted, and no nautilus popup. [03:48] seb128, HiddenWolf: yes, g-v-m attempts to mount all removable devices at startup [03:48] pitti: it should not open a nautilus window on them at login [03:48] HiddenWolf: ah, you mena the nautilus popup? yep, that's a bug [03:48] right [03:48] that's still on my list [03:48] k [03:48] got drawn away by security updates [03:48] if that's a bug for you all is fine :) [03:48] Oh, I thought you fixed it already, sorry. :) [03:48] I just parsed what you said as "NOTABUG" which supprised me === magnon [n=magnon@photogeeks/magnon] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:51] seb128: is g-v-m hard to debug?

[04:01] Kamion: you don't mind me confirming d-i bugs? [04:02] ogra, any further ideas? Or, do you know who would be able to help? [04:02] Kamion: with the patch for apt for #13713 the Mithrandir: no [04:03] Mithrandir: go ahead [04:03] Kamion: oki, thanks. [04:03] Kamion, does the standard install cd include enough software to compile a kernel succesfully? Or must more be downloaded? [04:03] mvo: the Kamion: right :) [fixing this fallback should fix debian #44135 as well and that a bug from 1999] [04:05] netstar: the install CD includes basic development tools (though they aren't all installed by default); those should be enough to compile a standard kernel although not enough to compile the Ubuntu kernel package [04:05] I mean, not enough to build the full package; you should be able to build the actual kernel bit fine [04:06] mvo: cool [04:06] okay, I'll probably be back later on to annoy you with more questions. [04:06] HiddenWolf: do you mind if I close #15059 ? [04:06] thanks [04:06] Kamion: hmm, bugs such as 2539 should be closed now that we use the non-antique kbd-chooser? [04:06] mvo, Not really [04:06] HiddenWolf: if you find more out about it, we can reopen always it :) [04:07] fabbione: how do you test partman-auto-lvm changes ? [04:08] Mithrandir: er, if it works ... I have no idea whether it does or not.

(s/enteprise/enterprise) [04:09] Kamion: hmm, perhaps I'm utterly mistaken then. [04:09] Kamion: I'll see if I can reproduce [04:10] Mithrandir: it's powerpc-specific [04:10] jkossen: thanks, fixed [04:10] mvo, exactly [04:11] Kamion: nice :) [04:11] Kamion: I know, which means I have to see if I can get my peg to install ubuntu === OculusAquilae [n=oculus@p548D3A27.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:16] Mithrandir: er ... not sure if that'll help; looking at kbd-chooser/usb-kbd.c, it's probably Mac-specific [04:16] Kamion: I've seen it on the peg before [04:16] oh, ok [04:16] but that could have changed, [04:16] well, I'll have a look next time I do a test install on my powerbook === magnon [n=magnon@photogeeks/magnon] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ajmitch [n=ajmitch@2001:388:c004:1:0:0:0:12] has joined #ubuntu-devel === koke [n=koke@169.Red-217-127-113.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === magnon [n=magnon@photogeeks/magnon] has joined #ubuntu-devel === kobold [n=kobold@debian/developer/kobold] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === magnon [n=magnon@photogeeks/magnon] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === eruin [n=eruin@unaffiliated/eruin] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jsgotangco [n=jsg@info1-226.info.com.ph] has joined #ubuntu-devel === brad_s [n=brad@wbs-146-164-178.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:37] fabbione: ?

[04:40] elmo: as i understand it... as it is we can just remove tetex from the archive and see what breaks... [04:40] fabbione: this b-at is a full (i.e. +universe) run, so I'd like to get it started; there'll be a main only b-at run again soon tho [04:40] fabbione: ?! === tvo [n=tobi@5354EA9B.cable.casema.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:40] elmo: just start.. don't wait for me [04:40] elmo: i found over 35 files inside tetex that are bad [04:40] christ [04:40] they all report stuff like: [04:41] licence foobar from tetex/latex.whever [04:41] and 2 lines after: [04:41] "You are NOT ALLOWED to modify this file" [04:41] or [04:41] what's b-at ? [04:41] "You are NOT ALLOWED to make money on top of this file" [04:41] elmo: most of the stuff is in tetex-extra, but some of it is in tetex-basa [04:42] base even [04:42] so run for now, becuase if we need to kick tetex a bit out, we will need to work all together on it :) [04:42] bddebian: ? [04:42] i won't be enough [04:42] sivang: breezy-autotest - test rebuilds of the archive [04:42] anyway. i must get my ws fixed first [04:42] just ping if you need something [04:43] elmo: You are my hero. :-) Did you get my huge e-mail last night? === tseng [n=tseng@brandonhale.us] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:47] bddebian: yeah, I'm still catching up on mail tho [04:47] elmo: NP === wasabi [n=wasabi@207.55.180.100] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:52] Mithrandir: ?

I'm a little lost (not surprising). Isn't debtags supposed to provide libdebtags1-dev and libdebtags1-pic? [04:56] elmo: could you sync ardour from debian unstable please? thanks! [04:56] bddebian: libdebtags1 should do that [04:57] Riddell: Sorry, that is what I meant. but the source doesn't show that and we dont have libdebtags1-pic? [04:57] why do you need a -pic? [04:57] packagesearch 2.0 from Debian [04:57] they're got a very limited use case [04:57] there's no -pic, but libdebtags1-dev is there [04:57] it's a static library [04:58] I guess I could just do packagesearch 1.3 as MoM asks but it seems stupid when 2.0 is there. [04:59] elmo: could you sync ttf-dejavu (or is there some reason it hasn't been synced?) [04:59] Riddell: we stopped auto-syncing stuff months ago? [05:01] elmo: it must be newer than I thought then. could you do it manually? [05:02] bddebian: packagesearch only build-dep on libdebtags1-dev [05:02] and qt4 excitingly [05:03] Riddell: 2.0? [05:04] yes [05:04] 2.0.1 [05:04] Ahh, it when to 2.0.1 two days ago.. :-) [05:05] Err went even === koke [n=koke@169.Red-217-127-113.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:05] fast paced this stuff [05:06] No shix === bddebian will try 2.0.1 and bug elmo some more.. :-) [05:14] morning [05:15] Hello mdz === ivoks [n=ivoks@lns01-1113.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:15] Hi mdz [05:16] elmo: can you please sync tdiary? it fixes a security issue and also removes files with problematic licenses [05:16] mbreit: Are you working on ardour for unmetdeps or the Malone bug? [05:16] Or both? :-) [05:17] Heh, packagesearch 2.0.1 FTBFSs.. === trulux [n=lorenzo@unaffiliated/trulux] has joined #ubuntu-devel === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.7.130.247] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:28] bddebian: what's up with it? === lllmanulll [n=lllmanul@dan75-4-82-239-58-38.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.7.130.247] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:31] doko: for breezy, it requires gcc-3.3 (too late to change) [05:31] hey! Apt's print-uris rocks! [05:31] Wergh. The entry for `terminal' has disappeared from my testbed's applications menu ! === hunger just used that to create a batch file for windows to download stuff;-) [05:32] bddebian: both [05:32] mbreit: Great :-) [05:33] Riddell: packagesearchimpl.cpp:937: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct Tagcoll::HandleMaker' [05:34] Does anyone have any idea what might cause that ? I can live without it but if I think it should be investigated. === sabdfl [n=mark@host217-37-231-22.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:35] Welcome sabdfl [05:36] hey guys [05:36] Hey, what if I'm a girl? ;-) [05:37] Hi sabdfl [05:38] sabdfl: did you try that new kernel? [05:38] hi sabdfl [05:38] Lathiat: so far so good, yes [05:38] working for you? [05:39] hey seb128. feeling successfully older and wiser? [05:39] yeh good so far, see in a couple days i guess [05:39] sabdfl: kind of :) [05:39] fabbione: Your new kernel seems stable so far. [05:39] I just peeked in #u-meeting, will we have a meeting today? [05:39] Diziet: it's under the Accessories category? [05:40] fabbine: I'm keeping the HD busy, no problem yet. === ozamosi [n=nnnnnnnn@h139n9c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:40] hunger: it's not my kernel. i only builded a snapshot of BenC work [05:41] fabbione: Feel free to s/your/whoever/. Fact is: It is way more stable for me than the "normal" breezy kernel. === MagnusR [n=magru@85.194.14.142] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:42] fabbione: Whoever made it: He did good work. Thanks BenC. === ivoks [n=ivoks@lns01-1113.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:42] Oh, it used to be in System Tools. It's not an Accessory. [05:42] Diziet: sabdfl requested to get it moved to Accesories (same for the file-browser icon) [05:43] I see. [05:43] I still think it's wrong, but there you go. [05:44] terminal [05:44] ? [05:44] heh [05:44] Yes, terminal. [05:45] imho, it shouldn't be in system tools in first place... since it isn't system tool [05:45] it's more accessorie [05:45] just like how windows treats dos as an accessory? [05:45] :) [05:46] terminal and ms-dos prompt are one, and DOS is something other [05:46] Isn't it ? It seems like one to me. While it's traditional of pointyclicky UIs to make the CLI hard to find, it's less usual of them to trivialise it. [05:47] i don't care where it is... it's allways on my win+x :) [05:48] I think of `accessory' as something like a calculator. A small and pretty simple thing that even a naive user might easily use often. [05:48] someone who knows UI better should decide aoubt that, and i'm sure sabdfl didn't go to access without consultation [05:49] Anyone here got an amd64 install ? Does the current firefox work at all ? [05:49] Diziet: you mean the ubuntu12 version? [05:50] Yes. [05:50] Diziet: works fine here [05:50] Diziet: works fine here [05:50] so... amd64 builder is on strike? :) [05:50] mbreit: :-) [05:50] Diziet: seems to work ok here [05:51] OK. Hmm, thanks. [05:51] Diziet, ivoks, more controversial is the removal of Root Terminal. you guys have any opinion on that? === pitti never used the root terminal entry so far [05:52] never used that one.. [05:52] gksudo in the menus and sudo in the shell works so well [05:52] sudo works most of the time [05:52] and we should discourage permanent root terminals anyway [05:52] so, sabdfl++ [05:53] yeah... sabdfl++ :) [05:53] ++ [05:53] sabdfl: Um, what was the reason for it ? [05:53] I assumed that it was something to do with not confusing the easily-confused. [05:53] But if it's for `security reasons' then I think it's pretty bogus, really. === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.25.192.196] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:54] Diziet: no, not for security reasons; just to educate people to not type commands as root when not necessary [05:55] Diziet: if you have a root shell, then people could get used to "let's just take this terminal for everything" [05:55] I see. That sounds like `educating' people into `security'-consciousness. [05:55] Diziet: something along that line, yes [05:55] Diziet: do you disagree with that? [05:55] I'm afraid so, yes. [05:55] Diziet: hm, so you think we should keep the root terminal? [05:56] what is the use case for that? [05:57] (a) Saves typing if you know what you're doing (rather than terminal followed by sudo bash). (b) Sysadmin unfamiliar with our system setup choices may not know that we prefer sudo and may (for example) try su etc. `root terminal' in the menu advertises to them what they need nice and easily. [05:58] Diziet: well, our installer points out that there is no root, and sysadmins shuold generally know about the implications anyway [05:58] we should care more for inexperienced users IMHO [05:58] pitti ++ === Valandil [n=chrys@dsl-084-056-090-087.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:58] if they do custom install, they can create root password, iirc [05:58] and (a) is solved by sudo -s more easily [05:58] Diziet: but in the end, I don't mind either way [05:59] If there is a use case for it, perhaps add a menu item to do the proper incantation (sudo -i $SHELL, or whatever it is) to one of the menus in the terminal itself, rather than encouraging people to open a terminal and then think "oh crap, this isn't the one I wanted" [05:59] the root account can be easily activated by experienced users === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.25.192.196] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:59] maybe under system -> administration? [05:59] there is a root terminal in the menu... [05:59] right? [05:59] spacey: deprecated [06:00] spacey, thats what we're talking about [06:00] oh ok:p i also use `sudo -s` [06:00] mpt: One of the menus in the terminal itself ? Who's going to look there ? [06:00] Someone pointed out on ubuntu-doc that people often get the incantation wrong, they don't know about the -s [06:00] My (b) use case involved a sysadmin who doesn't know how we set things up. Note that such a person might not have been the person who installed it. [06:01] You've come and tried to fix other people's computers before now, right ? It would be nice if the system made that relatively convenient. [06:01] right [06:01] but we shouldn't encourage it [06:01] Shouldn't encourage what ? Having a root terminal open ? [06:01] yes [06:02] maybe pop-up with warning? [06:02] I disagree. There's nothing wrong with having a root terminal open. [06:02] programs with elevated privileges under X are a PITA in the first place [06:02] ivoks, eek [06:02] Diziet: Would patching su to print an explanation work better? [06:02] so we should minimize them === spayne [n=spayne@i-195-137-120-148.freedom2surf.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:02] Diziet, if he doesn't know how to set up stuff.. should he be root? ;p [06:02] ogra: :) [06:02] mpt: That's a kludge, for us failing to provide the UI cue in the right place. [06:02] Not that it wouldn't help. [06:03] Diziet: as soon as you have a program running as root under X, all other user processes have, too - bad for trojans and such [06:03] spacey: Eh ? You've never fixed someone else's computer running some strange distro you've not seen before ? === jsgotangco [n=jsg@info1-226.info.com.ph] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:03] Diziet: in the end, I think we should fix su anyway, we planned to do this for a long time [06:03] Diziet: so, if su sees that root is disabled, it should point to sudo [06:04] (but that is orthogonal to the topic) [06:04] pitti: If we're trying to defend against other programs in the session stuffing stuff into that window I think we're being overparanoid. There are much worse things to worry about - the fact that the user is using a browser in the same account as sysadmin at all. [06:04] don't forget, there is still problem with gksu, not reading sudoers like it should :/ [06:04] gksudo, not gksu [06:04] Diziet, sorry, all people i know are running ubuntu (or winxp). but sudo is not such a unknown command.. [06:04] spacey: Yes, but it would be nice just to make things smooth and easy. That's what we're trying to do, right ? [06:05] Diziet: I see your point, it's a tradeoff [06:05] What's the downside ? [06:05] between cautious education and easy maintenance [06:05] Someone makes a virus that takes over the user's firefox and uses the running root terminal to help do something nasty ? [06:05] erm, educating cautiousness, I mean [06:05] ivoks: gksu can't read sudoers, at least not with the current design [06:06] I think this `educating' people not to have a root terminal open is nonsense. [06:06] mvo: but mvo can determine whether root has a password [06:06] mvo: ok, that's good to know... [06:06] Diziet, well this one person in thousand might as well read a few lines of documentation and know sudo. pretty convienant to use, but i understand your point ofcourse [06:07] Diziet: If you are afraid of that: Run firefox as a different user. [06:07] mvo: since sudo someapp works ok, and gksudo someapp doesn't (if someapp is NOPASSWD in sudoers) [06:07] pitti: gksu can? how? [06:07] hunger: Well, of course. But that's too inconvenient for the average user (we have decided). [06:07] mvo: su can [06:07] Diziet: about the Accessories category upstream take it too for lusers tools, some GNOME guys condider it's for stuff who have a real life equivalent (dictionnary, calculator, notepad, ...) [06:07] mvo: not gksu, of course; but we are talking about people who enter "su" into terminals and fail [06:07] ivoks: yes, the problem is that gksudo just calls sudo, it has no other rights than the user [06:07] Diziet: Using a root terminal is too, so do not worry too much about that. [06:08] ivoks: sudo is not very friendly when it comes to being embedded [06:08] mvo: i see, thanks for clarification [06:08] pitti: yes, that's something we can fix [06:08] seb: I think that most users - particularly people who aren't familiar with the system - will consider a CLI as a system tool because it's a thing that `system people' use to do `system things'. [06:08] ivoks: I haven't looked into the NOPASSWD issue, I was under the impression that recent version of gksudo have fixed that, but apparently they don't [06:08] ie things they don't understand. [06:09] For the same reason experts look for expert tools like CLI in scary sounding places like `system tools'. [06:09] `Accessories' should be full of harmless but useful trivia. === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.7.130.247] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:09] mvo: if gksudo asks pass before it sends it to sudo, then problem is obvius, and i think that's the case... [06:09] Diziet: I quite agree with that [06:10] Did we have some UI expert tell us otherwise, in fact ? [06:10] Diziet: I think keeping the root terminal in the system tools menu (and having the normal Terminal in accessories, like now) is a good compromise [06:10] Splitting them up is a bad idea. [06:10] Diziet: you just suggested doing so [06:11] Diziet: keep system admin tools in one scary menu, and generally useful things in another [06:11] pitti, mvo, Mithrandir: you guys have an amd64 right? Sombody wants to take over http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14903 ? That's firefox crashing with the totem video plugin (seems to be reproducible when doing "previous page" from a video) [06:11] mvo: yes... easy to demonstrate :) [06:11] mvo: for app that's NOPASSWD, you can enter worng password in gksudo [06:11] mvo: it would still open that app [06:11] My argument above was about both root and non-root terminals. === floo [n=flo@p54A19D11.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:11] CLI = Command Line Interpreter. [06:11] Diziet: right, but a normal terminal is much more useful than a root terminal [06:12] Diziet: for example, users will need it to type things we ask them to (for debugging) [06:12] and many will eventually want to explore some CLI bits [06:12] Yes. And we're `system people' who ask them to do `system things' like debugging, for which they will need `system tools'. [06:12] I just want to scare them off a root terminal === seb128 uses right click with nautilus and panel launchers :) [06:13] ivoks: hm, I just tested it for the current gksudo in breezy and it seems to work as excepted (not asking for a passwd) [06:13] hi guys :) i used usplash but usplash is not on my fullscreen (1024x768) its work @ fb16? can usplash work in 1024? sorry for my english :) [06:13] mpt: what does our UI expert say to the terminal/root terminal story? :-) [06:13] scary [06:13] floo: usplash will do only 640x480 [06:13] damn [06:13] mvo: did you use any other app with gksudo before? [06:13] floo: I was told it can't. [06:13] floo: usplash is designed for one fixed resolution [06:13] =/ === netstar [n=net@dial81-131-196-138.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:14] bootsplash didn't work because its not under udev :/ [06:14] mvo: try that on fresh login [06:14] ivoks: I don't think so, I did sudo -k before and tried it on a new vt as well [06:14] +work [06:14] Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the ppc-64 kernel config file used for the kernel in the lastest preview breezy release? [06:15] Diziet: it's to simplify things. there is now one obvious way to get to a terminal. and the docs can focus on one way to escalate privileges: sudo [06:15] ivoks: tried that too, now difference [06:15] for clever people, it's not hard to setup their own panel icon that does exactly what they want [06:15] mdz: no meeting today? [06:15] mvo: no or now? :) [06:16] sabdfl: But there are numerous system tools in the `System' menu which also escalate privileges. [06:16] and "Accessories" is a good place, because a Terminal is not something to be scared of, or embarrassed about, it's just a tool [06:16] ivoks: no :) works as excepted, no password prompt and runs as root [06:16] like a calculator [06:16] pitti: this week is CC, no? [06:16] mvo: ok, promise me to try that after restart, ok? :) [06:16] <\sh> mdz: it was [06:16] mdz: i believe so === madduck [n=madduck@sake.ifi.unizh.ch] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:16] was? [06:16] <\sh> 12UTC [06:16] mdz: it was today [06:16] <\sh> today [06:16] sabdfl: GNOME guys tend to describe Accesories as stuff which have a real life equivalent: dictionnary, calculator, notepad, ... [06:16] mvo: thing is that some PIDs are still in the air after you logout [06:16] gyahhh [06:16] all over :) [06:16] oh well [06:17] mvo: and there is /tmp with your data [06:17] usplash is on my laptop TFT very small :( its ugly... :( [06:17] mvo: that happend to me to, after fresh login, it worked, but after restart - no [06:17] sabdfl: I think that for most users a terminal is something they should have a healthy respect for. And the whole point of the pointyclicky UI is to avoid them having to use it - based on the very premise that it's hard to use. [06:17] <\sh> but my 2 1/2 hours sleep was good :) [06:17] Now, it's true that there are things people need a terminal for but part of the point of the GUI is to minimise those. [06:17] hi \sh :) [06:17] <\sh> seb128: did u see this problem now with 2.6.12-8? [06:17] \sh: I don't get this away messages [06:18] If you disagree with this then you don't need Gnome. [06:18] inotify: resource /var/lib/dpkg/status went away. Adding it to missing list [06:18] inotify: resource /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu went away. Adding it to missing list [06:18] is all what I get basically [06:18] and that's due to apt-get updates [06:18] <\sh> seb128: strange... [06:18] ie: file moved/renamed [06:18] yeah [06:18] ivoks: I don't think so, the tickets are per-tty IIRC. but I'll check after my next reboot too [06:18] you are on x86? [06:18] <\sh> seb128: yepp [06:18] `System tools' is the nearest we have to an `expert' menu. [06:19] mvo: thanks [06:19] <\sh> floo: hi [06:19] pitti: I agree with sabdfl on this [06:19] Also, `root terminal' ought to exist and has to be next to `terminal' and ought to be in `system tools', so `terminal' has to be there too. [06:19] `Terminal' and `root terminal' should not be separated. [06:19] mvo: (aren't per-tty since now it doesn't me for password from any tty) [06:19] Diziet: i disagree, i'm afraid [06:20] a GUI is wonderful, but so is a console [06:20] mvo: 'ask' should somewhere in that line :) [06:20] mvo: and 'be' in other :))) [06:20] rather than seeing it as a battle between them, we should understand that both will continue to evolve [06:20] i know a couple of Mac users who are now happy terminal users under mac OS X [06:20] Diziet: if you don't separate them it causes no end of confusion [06:21] we're going to stick with the current arrangement for Breezy, and review for +1 [06:21] ivoks: care to join #gksu? I don't want to "spam" this channel too much [06:21] sabdfl: I see. Well, it's your decision but I still disagree. === koke [n=koke@169.Red-217-127-113.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:21] <\sh> seb128: I'm running the plain i386 kernel [06:22] Diziet: ok, please join in the followup discussion post-breezy [06:22] mpt: what do you think about launchpad entries on the right click menu of the panel? [06:23] seb128: which panel? [06:23] sabdfl: the GNOME one [06:23] the bar you have on the top and bottom of the screen [06:23] right click on a free space [06:23] ah [06:24] cool [06:24] seb128:sabdfl: I've already been asked this question :-) I agreed, because there's really no better place to put them [06:24] sabdfl: Willdo. [06:24] seb128: true [06:24] seb128: I asked him :) [06:24] mpt: ;-) [06:24] mpt: k, I don't like to make menu longer [06:24] seb128: we need icons for those menu entries [06:24] sivang: right but you never communicate on what you do [06:25] sabdfl: do we have any artist for that? I'm not good at making icons :) [06:25] seb128: no I did :...-( I even talked with you about it on the sam eday [06:25] mpt: could you put seb128 onto the icons we use for translations and for tickets? i think we need ticket icons [06:25] sivang: you said you'll ask [06:25] let's use the ones we currently have in LP [06:25] seb128: and then I replied back that mpt was content with that change.. [06:25] mpt: do you remember? [06:25] Kamion: btw, i put apache on mirror.cs.umn.edu now [06:26] Kamion: did some googling about thttpd/apache/etc [06:26] Kamion: looks like apache is a win due to persistent connections. [06:26] seb128: There is the problem that people might not understand the panel as being a distinct program by itself, though [06:26] didn't know thttpd can't do those :) [06:26] mpt: not a lot we can do about that [06:27] mpt: they will find this out when they click the context lp item, no? [06:28] sabdfl: is there going to be an open ticket function in each app as well? [06:28] sabdfl: I think gnome vastly overuses icons in menu items, but sure, I'll send them to seb128 [06:28] sivang: not inside the app. the menu takes you to a "support overview", and from there you can open a ticket === koke [n=koke@169.Red-217-127-113.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:29] sabdfl: I see, that will be under the "Get help" option right?

I'm getting a DllNotFound exception [06:36] seb128: ok, sorry for the troulbe, anyways. I will discuss this on u-d ml next time, it's probably better then IRC anyways.. === poningru [n=poningru@n128-227-5-82.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:38] sivang: don't worry, there is no trouble. But having everybody part of the discussion is better than having you pinging mpt and then pinging me, then I've to ping mpt or you to know what point you discussed, etc === pitti has to run out for a bit, cu later [06:40] seb128: Sorry for getting in the way [06:41] bye [06:42] mpt: no, that's fine, thanks for give your advice on such questions === Hirion [n=Hirion@p5487F6E7.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === squinn [n=squinn@69.203.205.68.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === infinito [n=infinito@75.Red-80-59-227.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Reveng-ER [n=chat@p549CED92.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:55] christel@freenode/staff/christel is a corrupt staff member. people on the staff social channel beg for modes and she is setting them just to read "christel we love you". do you all support such networks with corrupt staff members who set modes for personal pleasure? === camilotelles [n=Camilo@200.128.80.250] has joined #ubuntu-devel === SteveA [n=steve@office.pov.lt] has joined #ubuntu-devel === SteveA [n=steve@office.pov.lt] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] [07:00] <\sh> Reveng-ER: wrong channel..has nothing to do with ubuntu [07:05] elmo: readahead provides readahead-list? === jcape [n=jcape@63.246.68.27] has joined #ubuntu-devel === linuxsbartley [n=sbartley@67.108.61.130.ptr.us.xo.net] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] === floo brb reboot [07:17] <\sh> elmo: please sync gtk-gnutella 0.95.4-1 from debian unstable (universe that is) thx :) [07:19] mpt, sivang: we have a complain about gnome-panel upstream because right click menu on the clock applet is too long with lpi items [07:20] mjg59: ping [07:20] Hello [07:20] seb128: oh, why do upstream want it? [07:20] want what? [07:20] Hello mjg59 [07:20] mjg59: hi :-). can usplash handle interactive things like password-prompting? [07:20] seb128: sorry, you mean, GNOME upstream? they also use the patches? [07:21] Nafallo: Not currently [07:21] But it would be easy enough to implement [07:21] If you need input, best thing to do is to explicitly kill usplash [07:21] no, gnome-panel upstream uses Ubuntu and right clicked on the clock [07:21] (usplash_write "QUIT") [07:22] mjg59: I got a user running cryptsetup see, and I just uploaded a version that kills usplash if /sbin/usplash_write is executable :-). [07:22] seb128: ah, I saw , vuntz right? [07:22] correct [07:22] any way to start usplash after the script is done? [07:22] Nafallo: It might be nice to check if it's running first and then restart it if so, but not too important [07:23] mjg59: naah. I'll just kill it for him then. the goal should be to enter the password inside usplash anyway :-) [07:24] mjg59: but not for breezy, I guess? === pkern [n=pkern@debian/developer/pkern] has joined #ubuntu-devel === vuntz [n=vuntz@fennas.vuntz.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:30] hi [07:30] dieman: mm, that's a matter of some debate - I don't think it's that cut-and-dried === Lioda [n=Lionel@235.cbproxy.astra-net.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:31] mpt: seems that vuntz also thinks that patching the applets is ugly, what do you say? (for instance, clock applet) [07:31] sivang: I think that dropping the patches for applets would be better, indeed [07:31] sivang: but the users won't find any link to translate some applets, though [07:31] dieman: it's true that a web server with keep-alive support will be able to give better performance on repeated requests, all other things being equal, by avoiding the extra connection setup and tear-down costs [07:31] vuntz: yes, that was guided me on my way to patch them...:-) [07:32] s/guided/guiding/ [07:32] brb [07:32] dieman: but you have to offset that against thttpd being a select()-model web server which means that it will be able to cope with large numbers of concurrent connections considerably better than Apache === shaya [n=spotter@dyn-wireless-244-185.dyn.columbia.edu] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:33] Nafallo: Yeah [07:34] dieman: there do exist keep-alive patches for thttpd; it's been a long time, but maybe I should get back into web server hacking and have a go at those [07:35] Diziet: I'm told that the root terminal menu entry ran the terminal emulator as root as well as the shell; if we restore it, we should remember to fix that [07:35] k: That's silly of it, indeed. Note that it's still there, just disabled by default. You can turn it on again with pointyclicky, I think. === magnon_ [n=magnon@cD908888B.sdsl.catch.no] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:37] right, I haven't looked at the current state much yet ... === magnon_ [n=magnon@cD908888B.sdsl.catch.no] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:39] sivang: maybe you could add lpi in the "add to panel" dialog? === mvo is away for a bit [07:40] vuntz: don't think it's a preoblem, but let us ask mpt first - he's the usabilty expert === phlaegel [n=phlaegel@atdot.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel === magnon_ is now known as magnon [07:42] mpt: actually not sure if it's suitable even there...where do you think it can be added? this is a list of aplets to add..

[07:49] Kamion: heh, the machine is holding up fine with apapche [07:49] apache [07:49] i think i would only care if i had gigE on that box [07:49] sivang: Add it where? Buttons for such unimportant functions would be crack [07:49] mpt: In order to easily transalte the applets, and also not clutter the context menus we can drop individual applets supprt, leave it for the menu, and mention this somehwere in the docs possibly [07:50] and the dialog doesn't have menus [07:51] what about using the items in the panel context menu for the applets and the panel? [07:51] I'm not sure users will think that applets are not the same app as the panel === lamont [n=lamont@15.238.5.62] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:52] mpt: yay for search-function! :-) [07:54] dieman: I used to be able to effectively disable Apache servers from an untrusted client with a trivial shell script and trivial bandwidth, even after they said they'd fixed that :-( [07:54] (and not an exploit or anything, just connecting to them lots) [07:55] but it's been a few years === otavio [n=otavio@unaffiliated/otavio] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:01] mpt, vuntz : maybe we can start a thread about it , I need to run, but will be back in about 2 hours (train to catch) [08:01] mpt: or just let me know what you think is best, and I will make sure it's reflected in the pacakges [08:02] you guys can use bugzilla for that too [08:02] sivang: I'd rather just have a single item for the whole panel [08:02] vuntz is right, expecting people to distinguish between different parts of the panel is unreasonable [08:02] Some people have trouble even distinguishing between hardware and software... [08:04] mpt: no problem. so be it :) [08:04] mpt: so only the panel get's lpi love, and applet's context menu is free fo them , yes? [08:04] correct [08:05] mpt: cool hen, seb128: I will make a new pakcage and ping you for review/upload? [08:05] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaunchpadIntegration?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=system-help-menu.jpg was my original suggestion [08:06] sivang: that works, thanks === ian_brasil [n=vern@pintada.proamazon.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:07] seb128: cool =) next time I don't move a mussle without writing to #u-d ;-) [08:10] seb128: are defaults for printer drivers handled by gnome-cups-manager?

[08:34] sabdfl: if they're accumulating or something, that can indicate a bug, but seeing them from time to time is nothing to be concerned about [08:34] ok. there's just one, i'll give it a little time to get noticed === boglot [i=chaas@gw.workaround.org] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:38] mdz: YHM [08:38] Diziet: I check regularly throughout the day, thanks [08:39] Noted. === Dopie [n=francois@c8-rba-75.absamail.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Dopie [n=francois@c8-rba-75.absamail.co.za] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === ivoks [n=ivoks@lns01-2229.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:41] mdz: afaik we arent building that anymore [08:41] mdz: eh, its a transition package.

[08:47] Mithrandir, did you have a timeout during the ./update run ? [08:47] Mithrandir: usually that means it failed to download the Packages files from ports [08:47] Mithrandir: mdz: doing another refresh in a few days should add them back without significantly impacting the first-class arch... [08:47] no idea why it happens; it's intermittent [08:47] Mithrandir, it happens quite often with ports [08:47] ah, ok. [08:47] doh. yeah. what mdz said [08:47] Mithrandir: dumping the source tree and running it again often fixes it [08:48] shouldn't it fail, rather? [08:48] yes [08:48] Mithrandir: which seeds were affected? [08:48] if it's minimal, that's debootstrap's bug [08:48] yes, it's minimal [08:48] if not, possibly my bug [08:48] yeah [08:48] debootstrap doesn't fail properly [08:49] it didn't need to download the Packages file for --print-debs before, so this wasn't a problem [08:49] but it ought to be fixed now [08:49] looks better now, so I'll upload this.

[09:31] maybe that's because synaptic rocks :) === mvo hugs seb128 [09:32] mvo: I would say use it to collect translations and do an upload some days before 5.10 [09:32] seb128: ok [09:32] mvo: but it should be listed by rosetta [09:32] seb128: all "my" apps (u-m,g-a-i,synaptic) work, I'll ignore the bug and pretend it's other peoples problem :P [09:33] ah ah [09:33] seb128: yes, some apps are not listed, I need to ping carlos about it === _trulux is now known as trulux === netstar [n=net@dial81-131-111-14.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:34] mvo: [09:34] $ grep Notif synaptic.desktop [09:34] $ [09:34] $ grep Notif gdmsetup.desktop [09:34] StartupNotify=true [09:34] [09:34] maybe that's why?
