Kamionwhich is pretty dire for those people whose jobs require them to stay up late in order to get to them09:29
Kamionout of courtesy, please try not to derail them too much09:29
nickm_kamion, i understand, thanks09:30
sivangKamion: can I request review for possibly main/motu maintainership? I've collected some work I've done and proposed myself as a member for main09:30
Kamionthat said, you're welcome to contribute pertinent comments; they aren't moderated09:30
Kamionsivang: I'm not a TB member and don't have power over that09:30
sivangKamion: oh09:30
sivangok09:30
\shsivang: where r u on the LP team lists as proposed member?09:31

ogramotu is the malone group etc09:34

\shdholbach: unreal motus?09:35
dholbach\sh: exactly :)09:35
sivangogra: I'm already a member, please, since about ages ago09:36
dholbach\sh: if you look at the list of MOTUs and try to remember, when they appeared the last time, you'll get what i mean :)09:36
ograsivang, in launchpad ? 09:36
sivangogra: no, not in launchapd09:36
\shreal motus are living in castle greyscull...unreal motus are driving around with big jim?09:36
ograsivang, you see...09:36
\shdholbach: oh that u mean09:36
ograsivang, its technically impossible to become uploader in launchpad without ubuntite status09:37
Kamionsivang: propose yourself for membership of the ubuntumembers team and I'll fix that for you09:37
sivangKamion: ok, thanks09:37
ograsivang, i guess you'll have to wait until UBZ to have a valid key to upload it to launchpad09:37
=== ogra will happily sign sivang immediately :)
ograKamion, launchpad allows that without signed CoC and without uploaded key ? i thought that not possible09:39
\shdholbach: actually you will see me again for ubuntu 6.04 ;)09:40
dholbach:)09:40
dholbachi hope so09:40
sivangKamion: done09:40
sivangogra: thanks :-D09:40

sivang\sh: what do you guys mean unreal motus ?09:41
ivokssivang: fake motus :)09:42

sivangKamion: Should I upload my public key as well? (given it's not signed by anyone yet)09:43

ograheh09:46
ograthat shouldnt work without a valid key... lets point it out at UBZ...09:47
sivangKamion: yay thanks!09:47
\shogra: u mean unsigned key09:48
sivangfinding bugs whereever I go...;-)09:48
ogra\sh, unsigned == not valid, yes09:48

ograivoks, propose yourself there09:49

ivoksstory of my life :)09:50
ograsorry :)09:50
ivoksit's ok :)09:50
sivangmeh09:51
sivangLaunchpad could not import GPG key, the reason was:HTTP Error 500: OK at http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0xD2513586&op=get.Check if you published it correctly in the global key ring (using gpg --send-keys KEY) and that you add entered the fingerprint correctly (as produced by gpg --fingerprint YOU). Try later or cancel your request.09:51
Kamionogra: no, "valid" for a key means that it's properly formed and can produce correct signatures etc.09:51
Kamionequating valid with signed will confuse cryptographers :-)09:52
Kamionsivang: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-keys D251358609:52
ograKamion, hmm, i would see signing as a form of validation :)09:52
ograKamion, but i also would see binary data still as data *g*, so i dont count here :)09:53
Florobogra: it is an aproval of vaildation, not meaning it can't be vaild in the first place09:53
Kamion(what would non-binary data be? ternary?)09:53
ograstill data...09:54
ograopposed to programs or scripts09:54

lathiatsivang: how is it less secure?10:10
pittiif the only issue is "we need to convince sabdfl that we need to postpone it" then there's not much to discuss about here10:11
mdzsivang: no one has said any such thing10:11
ogradholbach, because you don play with the settings10:11
mdzthe issue at hand is that switching to gnome-screensaver has been a destabilizing change10:11
pittisivang: not less secure, but it lacks important features and has serious bugs10:11
sivangmdz: k, sorry I got the wrong impression then from previous IRC talks I glanced at..10:11
Keybukpitti: which serious bugs?  #s ?10:11
pittisivang: see jdub's email on u-devel10:11
Keybukwhen I did my research earlier, nobody could actually quote #s, just potentials10:11
mdzthe rationale for the change was to benefit from the enhanced unlock dialog10:11
lathiatI personally think it should be punted back as it doesn't seem to quite be ready and is missing various features people want, among other things, none of the apps with xscreensaver integrationw ill work, e.g. movie players, i thought gnomescreensaver-command might be a dropin-replacement but it doesn't appear to be ?10:11
mdzbut it has created more problems than anticipated10:12
ivoksyes10:12
seb128mdz: we talked about it just before the feature freeze. I said I was a bit busy to make the default config changes, hacks package split, etc and nobody stepped ... for me it was delayed to after 5.10. Imho that's a bit short to make something really cool with it now and we should stay with xscreensaver for 5.1010:12
pittiKeybuk: several people were bitten by lockouts, screensaver starts right when you are typing, that sort of things10:12
ivokspitti: true10:12
ivokshappens to me all the time10:12
mdzit broke compatibility with an API (xscreensaver-command) used by many other packages10:13
ograpitti, that was a bug in the default schemas file, its fixed10:13
pittiogra: nice10:13
mdzalso required changes in ltsp, casper, etc.10:13
ogramdz, and probably with kde10:13
seb128mdz: I've no special issue with gnome-screensaver, it works fine and Suse use it for their new version and did a secutiry audit. Upstream is responsive too. But we have no real user feedback, it lacks some features and could use some UI polish10:13
mdzand it seems likely that there are more we haven't discoveerd10:13
Keybukit does seem to lack xss's support for getting out of the way when other programs (totem, gnome-typing-monitor, etc.) need the screen10:13
pittistill, what about misssing features? power management and programmability (switch off by video players)?10:13
mdzogra: kubuntu isn't using gnome-screensaver10:13
ogramdz, i'm not clear with the lde issues yet10:13
ograg-s-s conflicts xss10:13
mdzpitti: I haven't heard about that; can you  elaborate?10:14
lathiatnot having a xscreensaver-command replacement is a pretty major thing imho10:14
pittimdz: what Keybuk said10:14
ograkde seems to use a wrapper around xss10:14
\shogra: true10:14
seb128pitti: me neither10:14
seb128pitti: why people don't bug about such issues?10:14
mdzI'm all for getting the bugs filed10:14
lathiatKeybuk: yeh thats because of xscreensaver-command10:14
pittiseb128: Jeff wrote about it on ubuntu-devel10:14
mdzbut the matter at hand is the question of whether to back out to xscreensaver10:14
mdzdoes anyone else have information to present that hasn't been put forward already?10:15
ograits the lack of configurability that bothers people, i pointed that out to sabdfl10:15
pittiin terms of our freeze status it would be wise to stay with the proven thing we have10:15
seb128pitti: you guys just come with mails describing issue than nobody pushed to ubuntu or upstream for months, just curious to have some real bugs to point10:15
jbaileylock-by-default was a bit surprising.10:15
sivangpitti: how was it pushed into breezy after FF and PF ?10:15
ivoksogra: hm, gss blacks out on me, even if newest version...10:15
ograsivang, sbdfl10:15
smurfseb128: screensavers kicking in when you don't want them to has been around for a rather long time, I for one am much too complacent about longstanding annoyance-level bugs like that10:15
mdzsivang: it was granted an exception10:15
pittiseb128: sorry, I have it running for only 2 hours now10:15
sivangmdz,ogra : k10:16
seb128pitti: k, so that's just "somebody said he had issue" with not concrete fact ... we should get real bugs to fix issues :)10:16
ograivoks, 1580510:16
seb128pitti: I use it for 2 months and it works fine for me10:17
mdzdoes anyone have something to say in defense of keeping gnome-screensaver for 5.10?10:17
smurfapart from the nicer dialog => not really10:17
ograsabdfl wants it ? 10:17
seb128pitti: (not than I'm arguing we should use it)10:17
Keybukgnome-screensaver is the right choice, I've been playing with it and it's very cute, and probably exactly what we're looking for in terms of a screensaver10:17
smurfogra: That is a defense in what way? ;-)10:17
Keybukit's certainly going to be better than xss from what I can tell, support dbus notifications and whatnot10:17
ograsmurf, since i'm the guy who gets the bugs assinged... ALL OF THEM10:18
JaneWmdz: jdub supports gnome-screensaver, but not for 5.1010:18
seb128same for me10:18
ograsmurf, (all ways i mean)10:18
sivangKeybuk: however, power management support is important for good laptop usability10:18
seb128I'm all for it, and it'll probably go with GNOME 2.4 upstream10:18
seb1282.1410:18
Keybuksivang: fwict it's going to get that10:18
seb128but not for 5.1010:18
ograi'm neutral, i just want to know what i'll be working on... i cant work on both10:19
mdzok, sounds like we're prepared for a vote10:19
ograand gss will require still a lot of work on the lockscreen for mpt's changes...10:20
mdzKeybuk: ?10:20
Keybukunfortunately it doesn't use the same API as the existing tool, and isn't yet fully developed; so I'd love to see it for dapper, but think it was really too late for it to be considered for breezy10:20
doko+110:20
pitti+110:20
mdzonly TB members have a vote here10:20
Keybukso if I had to pick between them today, I'd say xss today, and gss in three weeks when dapper opens10:20
pittisorry10:20
mdzKeybuk: you have to pick between them today ;-)10:21
ogramdz, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenSaver in case you didnt know it yet10:21
Keybukxss then :)10:21
mdzI'm for reverting to xscreensaver10:21
mdzmotion carried10:22
JaneW*yay*10:22
ograwho is talking to sabdfl about it ? 10:22
=== bddebian hides
mdzogra: that's my job10:22
ograok 10:22
sivangogra: would you be interested in discussing what love gss needs after meeting, or at UBZ?10:22
mdznext item is from Keybuk10:23
ograsivang, UBZ sounds good10:23
mdzupgrades from Debian releases10:23
Keybukyes10:23
mptit's on the UBZ BoF list10:23
ograyup10:23
Keybukthe question is simple, do we want an upgrade from warty or sarge to breezy to work10:23
mdzUBZ is a bit too late to consider upgrades to Breezy ;-)10:23
Keybukthey don't right now :p10:23
ogramdz, lol10:23
sivangmdz: hehe, right 10:23
ivoksKeybuk: ? i did couple of them10:24
Keybukif we're happy to say "sorry, upgrade to hoary first" then we should just make sure it's said and agreed10:24
=== mpt [n=mpt@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
mdzKeybuk: I'm not interested in skipping from warty->breezy without going via hoary10:24
mdzthat isn't much to ask10:24
Keybukhow about sarge->breezy?10:24
mdzsarge is certainly a worthwhile target10:24
pittithat would be more interesting10:24
pittidid anybody try this?10:24
mdzbut it depends on what the issues are10:24
ivoksyeah, i did10:24
ivokssarge with X -> breezy10:25
mdzare there any packages in sarge newer than in breezy?10:25
mdzI 10:25
KeybukI've tried it a couple of times; the principal problem is that our modular xorg packages only replace/conflict the monolithic xorg packages and not xfree86 (as found in sarge)10:25
ivoksno, iirc10:25
KeybukI don't think there are any newer in sarge10:25
mdzI think we ought to support upgrades from sarge to breezy, but not necessarily at all costs10:25
ivoksupgrade was smooth10:25
mdzif there are major complicating factors, we have higher-priority work10:25
ivoksthere was only one issue...10:25
pittiKeybuk: so it's merely missing conflicts/replaces?10:25
\shwe would have some problems with some kde packages...amarok is one of them but this only applies to kubuntu(-desktop) when installed10:26
\shI have to find out how many packages are different from sarge regarding kde stuff10:26
Keybukmy gut feeling would be that it's a "nice to have" if it's cheap timewise to do10:27
mdzKeybuk: did you file bugs?10:27
mdzlet's get the bugs in Bugzilla, and prioritize them along with the rest10:28
Keybuknope, wanted to see whether they were worthwhile first10:28
Keybukwill file tomorrow10:28
=== Seveas [n=seveas@seveas.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzok10:29
mdzanything more on upgrades?10:29
mdzlet's not make an official statement until we know what we're dealing with10:29
\shso no warty -> breezy without hoary... and sarge -> breezy nth10:29
sivangmdz: are we going to use only malone at some point? (the multiple open bugs both on b.u.c and malone can cause some confusion)10:29
mdzsivang: yes10:30
ograsivang, MOTU tries to sort themout from time to time10:30
mdzany other business for the TB meeting?10:30
Keybuknope from me10:30
bddebianWanna talk about fontforge? ;-P10:30
=== bddebian ducks
sivanglol10:30
pittimaybe default packages in server install? (openssh-server)10:30
pittithere were some questions about it recently10:31
Keybuklet's wait until jeff's customer turns up to defend that10:31
mdzpitti: it's too late to create a new seed for breezy10:31
Kamionserver installs don't have to depend on seeds, FYI10:31
mdzcurrently server = minimal+standard, and we can't put servers there10:31
Kamionit's just a preseed variable set by cdimage10:31
pittiKeybuk: btw, I thought about it again, I think not installing any server package is fine10:31
Kamionbase-config     base-config/package-selection   string ~tubuntu-standard10:32
ivoks:/10:32
mdzKamion: hmm10:32
Kamion(I'm not defending or criticising the proposal, just a point of information)10:32
mdzI always run openssh-server on servers10:32
mdzbut then, I also always run it on desktops10:33
jbaileyI don't run it on firewalls or internet facing-machines.10:33
ivoksidea of headless installation falls apart if after install you don't have ssh access10:33
mdz(my own, not others')10:33
jbaileyThat's what serial consoles are for.10:33
Kamionmy personal opinion is that it's best dealt with by documenting clearly that 'server' is just a base install on top of which you can install a server system of your choice, but doesn't actually install any servers automatically10:33
\shmdz: on servers sshd is a must...on desktops a nice to have when u need it10:33
sivangI always get annoyed seeing it was not already installed when installing a new server10:33
mdzivoks: the issues are the same during install and after10:33
Kamionivoks: if you're doing an actual headless installation, d-i will install openssh-server.10:33
sivangit comes as default for RHEL3 and SLES910:33
mdzivoks: you need a console for installaton10:33
Kamionbut most people aren't10:33
\shmdz: and it depends how we see our server install10:33
ivoksmdz: kickstart?10:33
Kamionand that's not what our server install is10:34
Kamionivoks: kickstart is orthogonal10:34
ivoksKamion: well, ok :)10:34
mdzmy gut feeling is that it's generally the right thing for servers10:34
ivoksagree10:34
sivangI second mdz10:35
=== pitti too
jbailey*shrug*10:35
ogra++10:35
jbaileyI can always remove it on my boxes.10:35
mdzbut I'm reluctant to make such a change without broader input from the community10:35
sivangthen we should thread it up on u-d10:35
mdzsivang: I smell a deliverable10:35
Kamionif we do make such a change, it's even more important to document it stunningly clearly10:35
pittiafter breezy then?10:35
Kamiongiven our trumpeted security policy elsewhere10:35
Kamionand, as I mentioned elsewhere, openssh doesn't exactly have a perfect security record10:36
Florobhmm... IMHO there shouldn't be objections to openssh-server, most distributions install it always anyway.10:36
jbaileyFlorob: It's one more port to get hacked.  But few objections beyond that.10:36
mdzdo we have a facility for doing simple web polls?10:36
Kamion(no other ssh server is really any better as far as I know - openssh is just the best audited because it's the most popular, and so people find the most bugs in it)10:36
jbaileyFlorob: But not 'none'10:36
ivokswe could be special, no put telnetd-ssl :)10:37
Kamionbut backporting openssh security fixes can notoriously be a pig sometimes, and I think we want to think about that rather carefully with regard to dapper's five-year support10:37
ivokss/no/and10:37
mdzok, let's defer this until we have more information10:37
Kamionalthough obviously we have to support openssh for five years anyway10:37
mdzany other business?10:37
Kamionso maybe that's not relevant10:37
mdzit's lunchtime over here10:37
ogramdz, get some food then :)10:38
