| mjg59 | sladen: Hrm. Interesting. It's also happening on CRTs, though. | 12:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Riddell | mjg59: acpid gets which event? | 12:04 |
| mjg59 | Riddell: The sleep key event | 12:04 |
| Riddell | mjg59: I have acpid running here, how is kubuntu different? | 12:05 |
| mjg59 | Except in a small number of cases, where the sleep key generates a keycode that's caught by a daemon that calls a command that signals gdm | 12:05 |
| mjg59 | Riddell: Because there's also klaptopthingy that provides functionality to trigger stuff under various circumstances | 12:05 |
| mjg59 | People seem to use it and then wonder why stuff doesn't work | 12:06 |
| mjg59 | It doesn't generate the correct lockfiles, so when the user presses the power button to resume it shuts the machine down | 12:06 |
| mjg59 | sladen: We already have the values in that patch | 12:06 |
| Riddell | mjg59: but sleeps keys and the like work just the same? | 12:06 |
| mjg59 | Riddell: I'd guess so. I know approximately nothing about KDE. | 12:07 |
| sladen | mjg59: There's various issues, the first being LFP scalers, the second is that I suspect alot of the minimal 'VGA' BIOSes/hardware just aren't designed to do anything except standard 640x400, the third that 640x480/2 is >128kB and if it's not mapped, that shows up as wrap-around (which is why it would be preferable to use 640x400x4 or 320x400x8) | 12:08 |
| Riddell | mjg59: ok, thanks for the info, I'll have a go at klaptopdaemon | 12:08 |
| Riddell | mjg59: what's the command for cpu throtteling? | 12:10 |
| mjg59 | Riddell: ? Powernowd handles that automatically | 12:10 |
| Riddell | klaptopdaemon has | 12:10 |
| Riddell | klaptopdaemon has an option for doing it explicitly | 12:11 |

| pitti | mdz: just got an answer about espa-nol vs. aspell-es; the former should be used, the latter is obsolete | 12:16 |
| Riddell | oh aye. I'm too sleepy | 12:16 |
| pitti | mdz: that means we should remove aspell-es from breezy completely | 12:17 |
| pitti | elmo: can you please remove the aspell-es package? it is obsoleted by espa-nol | 12:19 |
| pitti | elmo: i. e. both source packages build the binary aspell-es, but espa-nol is newer | 12:20 |

| lamont | daniels: yeah, testing my change now | 04:26 |

| daniels | lamont: unfortunately, it gets sourced first thing | 04:33 |
| lamont | sigh | 04:33 |
| seth_k | daniels, safe to upgrade back to 0.6-3 ? | 04:33 |
| lamont | does XSERVER_XORG_SPECIAL_DEPENDS need all the -input-* pkgs, or just the -driver* packages? | 04:33 |
| seth_k | daniels, it gave me a downgrade warning | 04:33 |
| lamont | ah, all the -input- packages are there. that would explain it | 04:34 |
| lamont | daniels: build time is ~1 hour or so... will advise | 04:36 |

| jdahlin | daniels? | 04:57 |
| daniels | jdahlin: mmm? | 04:58 |
| jdahlin | daniels: I noticed while upgrading to breezy today that some xorg package is doing something like: find / *_drv* | 04:59 |
| daniels | it shouldn't be, but apparently it does sometimes | 05:00 |
| jdahlin | I couldn't upgrade, it was a box with nfsroot and many many files in some nfs mounts | 05:00 |
| daniels | ouch | 05:01 |
| daniels | okay, I'll check it out, think the fix should be fairly easy | 05:01 |
| mdz | mjg59: yep | 05:01 |
| infinity | Oh, look, it's an mdz. | 05:04 |
| mdz | s/an/THE/ | 05:04 |
| jdahlin | daniels: should I file a bug? | 05:04 |
| mdz | infinity: were you able to find out what was going on with 10080, or are we hoping against hope that the new version fixes it? | 05:06 |
| daniels | jdahlin: it's okay, already sorted locally | 05:06 |
| infinity | mdz : Due to the fact that I once, in a previous life, cared about VGA on a deeper level than I now do, mjg59 has asked me to petition for a kernel freeze exception to drop vga16fb's default res from 640x480 to 640x400 (which, if I remember naything from the bad old assembly/demo days, should resolve a lot of the "wraparound usplash/installer" issues people are having) | 05:06 |
| mdz | infinity: sounds awfully risky | 05:07 |
| === Am|NickTaken [n=travis@AC833825.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | we'd also need to resize the artwork, no? | 05:07 |
| infinity | mdz : Well, the original submitter of that bug was incredibly unhelpful (as you've noted), but other bug submitters have been more forthcoming about their problems, and the pre-up thing should indeed fix it. | 05:07 |
| infinity | mdz : He has a patch ready, and the artwork can be resized post-haste (in fact, lots of the artwork was alreayd done in both sizes, apparently) | 05:07 |
| infinity | mdz : The problem is that 640x480 was an extension to the original VGA specs, and doesn't really work everywhere, and overflows fixed buffers allocated for VGA on lots of really old and really new cards (more of the ones in the middle seem to get it right) | 05:08 |
| mdz | infinity: but it's the only mode we've tested for the past month :-/ | 05:09 |
| infinity | mdz : We'd also lose 5 lines out of the installer (going from 80x30 back to 80x25) unless we used a smaller font, but that's probably not worth caring about. | 05:09 |
| === ironwolf [n=ironwolf@c-67-188-204-176.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | and usplash testing is hard to get because people need to regenerate their initrds manually at the right time | 05:09 |
| infinity | mdz : Yeah, and if I hadn't heard mdz complaining about problems with it this morning, I wouldn't have spoken up at all. I didn't realise the issues were as widespread as they seem to be. | 05:10 |
| mdz | actually we have more than a month of 640x480 testing, since the installer's been using it for ages | 05:10 |
| mdz | I think we ought to wait until dapper | 05:10 |
| infinity | There shouldn't be a computer on earth for which 640x400 would be a regression, but it should help a lot of broken ones. | 05:10 |
| infinity | But yes, it can wait, if you're really nervous about it. | 05:10 |
| mdz | by using 640x480, we're staying in the same mess we've been in since warty | 05:10 |
| === daniels notes that the installer is broken on a few laptops. | ||
| mdz | with 640x400 we risk a new and unknown mess | 05:11 |
| mdz | daniels: yeah, with known, documented workarounds | 05:11 |
| mdz | and on the rest of the world's computers, it works splendidly | 05:11 |
| infinity | Yeah, the documented workaround of using test-only or vesafb should work fine (one or the other) for most people. | 05:11 |
| infinity | s/test/text/ | 05:11 |
| mdz | I like the idea; I just think we're too close to release to make the change now | 05:12 |
| infinity | Yeah, you're likely right. I wish I'd noticed earlier (would have been "nice" if I had broken hardware here, I would have immediately leapt on it..) | 05:12 |
| infinity | Oh well. | 05:12 |
| wasabi | mdz, i've heard you were doing some work to get unionfs support in the standard initramfs but ran into some kernel crashes (source: jbailey) | 05:12 |
| === jsgotangco [n=jsg@202.57.71.235] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| wasabi | Have a resource to fill me in with? | 05:13 |
| infinity | 320x200 and 640x400 are the only two modes I know of that work pretty much on all PC hardware within the last 15 years. | 05:13 |
| mdz | wasabi: not exactly; here's the story | 05:13 |
| mdz | wasabi: we patched in unionfs early in breezy, with the aim of using it for ltsp and the live cd | 05:13 |
| infinity | (Well, and some strange pixel-doubling modes, like 320x100, 160x200, and other oddities) | 05:13 |
| mdz | wasabi: it proved itself to be unusably buggy for ltsp, and so we never even enabled it for the live cd (Mithrandir made the patch but it's unreleased) | 05:14 |
| wasabi | Ahh. | 05:14 |
| mdz | wasabi: since it wasn't being used for anything and was not behaving very supportably, the kernel team preferred to remove it | 05:14 |
| wasabi | I was looking into attaching it to my initramfs so that I can specify unionfs on the kernel command line to have root rw without saving. | 05:14 |
| wasabi | Would make it more convientent for installing on embedded stuff for me. | 05:14 |
| infinity | mdz : Anyhow, the wraparound isn't going to blow up anyone's hardware or anything, just look ugly, so I guess if we document it, and make the change as early as possible for dapper to get testing, that'll have to do. | 05:15 |
| mdz | infinity: i think that's the best plan | 05:15 |
| mdz | wasabi: the code for that is already in the ltsp package | 05:16 |
| mdz | wasabi: you just need to provide the module | 05:16 |
| infinity | mdz : As for 10080, did you get the CC on my followup to 10334? | 05:16 |
| mdz | infinity: I did | 05:16 |
| mdz | have you read the diff? | 05:16 |
| infinity | Yeah, it's sane. | 05:16 |
| mdz | I've never had to set up pppoe, thankfully, so I don't know what to expect from it | 05:16 |
| mdz | can you mail me the debdiff? | 05:17 |
| infinity | It's also been in Sarge for ages with pretty good results, if the BTS is to be believed. | 05:17 |
| wasabi | Also, I was wondering about some sort of loop-back file support for / | 05:17 |
| wasabi | For instance: | 05:17 |
| wasabi | root=/dev/embedded/flash:/rootfs.img | 05:17 |
| wasabi | See where I'm coming from? | 05:17 |
| infinity | mdz : Yeah, I'll do the merge manually, and mail you the 1.6ubuntu2->1.8ubuntu1 debdiff. | 05:17 |
| infinity | mdz : I assume you don't mind pulling in the minor translation fixes from 1.7 and 1.8? | 05:18 |
| mdz | wasabi: with the initramfs script in ltsp, you just switch it on and say "throw a tmpfs on top of my root before starting up userland" | 05:18 |
| Keybuk | *giggles* at gcov | 05:18 |
| mdz | infinity: don't mind that | 05:18 |

| wasabi | Basically, that last example, mounts root as a loopback fs. | 05:21 |
| wasabi | Makes managing a flash-based system easier. You distribute a root file, which is put on the flash device, vs actually having a real partition (lots of scattered writes) | 05:21 |

| fabbione | daniels: without my changes discover1 can't see the SBUS -> PCI bridge | 07:04 |
| daniels | correct for hppa, yes, as no-one's bothered to write an elfloader bit for it | 07:04 |
| lamont | infinity: well, having the xserver-xorg package not installable is what I was trying to fix. | 07:04 |

| fabbione | daniels: they have been tested dude | 07:04 |
| infinity | lamont : So, the answe may just be to not have it depend on any drivers for hppa. That would make it match sid's package, for functionality. | 07:04 |

| Mithrandir | mdz: pongpong? | 08:36 |
| daniels | fabbione: no, that will break universe font packages | 08:36 |
| daniels | fabbione: right now, the failure mode is that you don't get fonts from some packages when you upgrade | 08:36 |
| daniels | fabbione: i'd really, really, rather not complicate that by another transition | 08:36 |
| fabbione | daniels: the problem is that right now it doesn't work for main either | 08:37 |
| fabbione | because xorg.conf is not always regerated (and can't be) with the new paths | 08:37 |
| fabbione | regenerated | 08:37 |
| fabbione | a solution would be to symlink the contents of /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/* in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi | 08:38 |
| fabbione | or something like that | 08:38 |
| fabbione | that would maintain the dirs s they are | 08:38 |
| fabbione | and make both happy | 08:39 |
| daniels | if people make a config file with xorgcfg or whatever, they're on their own anyway | 08:40 |
| daniels | noting that we don't even ship that tool anymore | 08:40 |
| daniels | it works for all configurations we've ever generated from dexconf | 08:40 |

| fabbione | mpool: hoary or breezy? | 09:00 |
| dholbach | hi carstenh | 09:00 |
| carstenh | hi dholbach | 09:00 |
| zyga | I wanted to use fglrx_config recently and it works semi-okay but spits out a config file for XFree86 not for x.org | 09:01 |
| mpool | fabbione: breezy | 09:01 |
| mpool | it wasn't this bad in hoary | 09:01 |
| fabbione | mpool: that's really weird.. | 09:01 |
| daniels | fabbione: dude | 09:01 |
| mpool | my default nameserver just ignores AAAA requests | 09:01 |
| daniels | fabbione: take an XF86Config-4 from warty | 09:01 |
| mpool | so there's a long timeout before breezy's resolver backs off to A requests | 09:01 |
| daniels | fabbione: drop it into breezy | 09:01 |
| hunger | zyga: Jut copy the section for the graphics card into your existing xorg.conf. | 09:01 |
| fabbione | because breezy glibc don't resolv ipv6 as first | 09:01 |
| daniels | fabbione: and it will work | 09:01 |
| daniels | fabbione: it doesn't matter if you modify it or not, things will just work | 09:02 |
| mpool | fabbione: ok, i thought so | 09:02 |
| mpool | fabbione: this happens even if i disable the ipv6 kernel module | 09:02 |
| daniels | fabbione: this is because I already added symlinks in /usr/lib/X11, which we used in warty and hoary | 09:02 |
| mpool | it's pretty yucky | 09:02 |
| mpool | i'm concerned that people who have nameservers that don't handle ipv6 | 09:02 |
| daniels | fabbione: the only tools which generate anything referring to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 are external tools like xorgcfg, which we cannot and do not support | 09:02 |
| mpool | which is probably fairly common | 09:02 |
| mpool | will just think hoary is really slow | 09:03 |
| zyga | hunger: yes I know but this could be easily fixed | 09:03 |
| daniels | fabbione: so, just to be clear -- if you sit on warty or hoary and modify your config file by exactly one character, and nothing in it gets changed -- things will still work | 09:03 |
| fabbione | daniels: whatever.. i reassinged the bug to you.. handle it as you prefer | 09:03 |
| hunger | Is there a way to add custom lines to sections of xorg.conf via dexconf? | 09:04 |
| mpool | fabbione: what do you think? is there anything we can do? | 09:04 |
| === hunger needs DisplaySize set. | ||
| fabbione | mpool: with breezy glibc ipv4 is always resolved before ipv6, but if the apps request ipv6 first, than you might encounter that problem | 09:04 |
| fabbione | mpool: the general thing is ok | 09:04 |
| fabbione | so it depends from what apps is giving you problem | 09:04 |
| mpool | what do you mean by "the general thing is OK"? | 09:05 |
| sivang | morning all | 09:05 |
| fabbione | if the DNS you are using is not RFC compliant, fix the dns :) | 09:05 |
| fabbione | we do the right the thing | 09:05 |
| fabbione | we are RFC and posix compliant | 09:06 |
| fabbione | if an application specifically asks for ipv6.. well it has the rights to do so | 09:06 |
| mpool | ok | 09:06 |
| mpool | maybe more apps are built with ipv6 turned on? | 09:06 |
| mpool | i see that if i just call gethostbyname it does only the ipv4 request | 09:06 |
| mpool | which is good | 09:06 |
| fabbione | there is no need to tell the apps to enable/disable ipv6 | 09:06 |
| mpool | so | 09:07 |
| fabbione | it's enough they use gethostbyname2 instead of gethostbyname | 09:07 |
| mpool | i note your smiley, but many people are not able to fix their dnses very easily | 09:07 |
| fabbione | yes, but neither we are going to be non-{rfc,posix} compliant | 09:07 |
| fabbione | the timeout is a perfectly allowed condition | 09:07 |
| fabbione | normal i would say | 09:08 |
| mpool | i thought the previous behaviour was that if there were no ipv6 routes/addresses, it wouldn't do the lookups | 09:08 |
| mpool | that seems like a reasonable heuristic | 09:08 |
| mpool | isn't it? | 09:08 |
| fabbione | nope.. | 09:08 |
| fabbione | you are still allowed to perform dns queries | 09:08 |
| fabbione | the algo is complex.. but in few words it does all the queries to figure out the matching source -> dst ip | 09:09 |
| fabbione | the fact that ipv6 is not loaded or configured will be checked at a later stage | 09:09 |
| fabbione | and this is ok, because the apps might be doing looks up to enable ipv6.. | 09:09 |
| fabbione | you cannot know that in advance | 09:09 |
| mpool | right | 09:10 |
| mpool | it's a reasonable approach | 09:10 |
| mpool | however | 09:10 |
| mpool | there doesn't seem to be any way for people with broken DNS servers to turn off ipv6 queries | 09:10 |
| fabbione | you can't | 09:11 |
| fabbione | a dns query is nothing more than translating strings into strings | 09:11 |
| fabbione | and the point is that you can do ipv6 queries on an ipv4 network | 09:11 |
| fabbione | and viceversa | 09:11 |
| mpool | sure | 09:12 |
| mpool | i understand why the default is compliant | 09:12 |
| mpool | but i think this will bite a number of users | 09:12 |
| mpool | don't you agree? | 09:12 |
| fabbione | note that breezy is much better than hoary... | 09:12 |
| fabbione | even if i agree on the general annoyance of a timeout, i won't agree with solutions that will disable ipv6 | 09:13 |
| fabbione | not even configurable ;) | 09:14 |
| mpool | ok | 09:14 |
| mpool | so what do you think should happen to people with servers like this? | 09:14 |
| fabbione | ISP's need to become compliant to RFC's :) | 09:14 |
| mpool | mm | 09:14 |
| fabbione | mpool: after the first lookup, the resolver learns | 09:14 |
| fabbione | so it's only at the first contact the problem | 09:15 |

| mpool | and not everyone will be able to figure out what's going on | 09:16 |

| fabbione | because it uses gethostname | 09:17 |
| fabbione | and not gethostbyname2 | 09:17 |
| mpool | firefox has an option to turn off ipv6 dns, because it's broken for a signficant fraction of users | 09:17 |
| mpool | what i would like to see is a similar system-wide setting | 09:17 |
| fabbione | that's how i figured the difference between hoary and breezy resolver | 09:17 |
| mpool | i don't think we can ignore the fact that many users do have DNS servers that don't handle ipv6 | 09:17 |
| mpool | i hear RH and Fedora have a setting like this | 09:17 |
| fabbione | apt uses gethostbyname too | 09:18 |
| fabbione | so it defaults to ipv4 | 09:18 |
| mpool | fabbione: anyhow, resolv.conf(5) implies that AAAA records are only consulted if 'options inet6' is set | 09:18 |
| fabbione | telnet yes.. it does ipv6 first | 09:18 |
| mpool | but it seems to be always on | 09:18 |
| fabbione | it's not | 09:19 |
| fabbione | i am sure | 09:19 |
| mpool | if it worked as the manpage says, or if we had, say, 'options noinet6' | 09:19 |
| mpool | then that would be OK with me | 09:19 |
| fabbione | because all my networks are ipv6 compliant | 09:19 |
| fabbione | and i still keep going on ipv4 with ssh & co. | 09:19 |
| fabbione | that means that ipv6 is not used as first | 09:19 |
| fabbione | firefox and mozilla are the only 2 apps that are hutterly broken in that way | 09:19 |
| fabbione | and it has been known for ages | 09:19 |
| fabbione | because they implement their own variant of the resolver | 09:20 |
| maswan | mpool: what kind of brokeness do you have? | 09:20 |
| maswan | I mean, I have no v6 connectivity at all, and I have no problems. | 09:20 |
| ivoks | me too | 09:20 |
| fabbione | maswan: the issue shows up when the DNS you are using is broken and can't resolv ipv6 at all | 09:20 |
| mpool | maswan: as i said above, apps like apt or ssh pause for ~6s when opening a connection | 09:20 |
| mpool | whcih is pretty broken | 09:20 |
| mpool | maswan: i suspect you have no ipv6 but you do have a DNS server that responds to AAAA | 09:21 |
| fabbione | mpool: can you try to use dns.fabbione.net for a test? | 09:21 |
| maswan | fabbione: which in practice means what? a bind4 from the late 80ies? | 09:21 |
| fabbione | mpool: and see if it works better? | 09:21 |
| mpool | maswan: yeah, or maybe a windows based server or something | 09:21 |
| fabbione | maswan: or probably other implementations | 09:21 |
| mpool | or also many embedded routers | 09:21 |
| mpool | for myself, i can just fix it by using a local server or something | 09:21 |
| maswan | mpool: Oh, right, embedded routers. Or firewalls. | 09:21 |
| maswan | firewalls == teh suck. | 09:22 |
| fabbione | mpool: if that doesn't work.. than there is something hutterly broken on your network... | 09:22 |
| mpool | the problem is all the other people who will install breezy and say "wow it's really slow" | 09:22 |
| mpool | on forums and lists you can find lots of people who previously tried to work around this by disabling the ipv6 module | 09:22 |
| mpool | but for good reasons as fabbione says that's no long enough | 09:22 |
| maswan | fabbione: I have a wireless nat box thingie, and if the firewall in that is turned on, it mangles dns packets. badly. | 09:22 |
| fabbione | the kernel module has nothing to do with bind/resolver | 09:22 |
| fabbione | maswan: yeah.. so do i here | 09:23 |
| fabbione | maswan: but that doesn't mean it's breezy's fault | 09:23 |
| mpool | fabbione: it used to | 09:23 |
| fabbione | mpool: never.. | 09:23 |
| fabbione | the module in the kernel provides the protocol | 09:23 |
| === ironwolf [n=ironwolf@c-67-188-204-176.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mpool | i think previous resolvers tried to see if the ipv6 protocol was available before doign the lookup | 09:23 |
| fabbione | it did never interact with the resolver | 09:23 |
| mpool | which i agree is broken, but at least it gave people a way to control it | 09:23 |
| fabbione | than it's a glibc thing | 09:23 |
| fabbione | resolver = glibc | 09:24 |

| mpool | agree/disagree? | 09:24 |
| mpool | oh, yes | 09:24 |
| mpool | going straight to dns.fabbione.net works fine | 09:25 |

| Treenaks | either reply to all AAAA requests with an error/nxdomain/whatever... or reply normally.. don't drop the request :) | 09:26 |

| HiddenWolf | pitti, I will. brb | 11:08 |
| fabbione | pitti: i think the sparc did finish the build a long time ago :) | 11:09 |
| pitti | fabbione: it did, I know | 11:10 |
| pitti | fabbione: I debugged a bit, and then I crashed to bed | 11:10 |
| fabbione | cool | 11:10 |
| mpool | fabbione: hi | 11:10 |
| fabbione | mpool: yo.. | 11:10 |
| pitti | fabbione: when initdb calls postgres, postgres SIGBUSes, but if I call postgres myself in gdb, it doesn't | 11:10 |
| mpool | fabbione: i fixed my problem by running bind on another machine here | 11:10 |
| mpool | which is fine for me | 11:10 |
| mpool | however i think some users will experience this bug | 11:10 |
| pitti | fabbione: and if I have initdb call postgres through a gdb wrapper, it does not crash either | 11:10 |
| pitti | fabbione: so I guess I'll wait for Florian to update his mips box for debugging | 11:11 |
| mpool | i think it's pretty clear from reports in previous releases that there are broken servers which are not easily fixed | 11:11 |
| fabbione | pitti: you should consider trying only strace | 11:11 |
| mpool | therefore i would like very much if there's a workaround | 11:11 |
| fabbione | mpool: yes, but running bind locally is light | 11:11 |
| fabbione | given that it will only do cache | 11:11 |
| mpool | OK | 11:11 |
| fabbione | + you get a real DNS server implementation | 11:11 |
| mpool | well, if it's easy to install that and have resolvconf point to it,t hat would be ok | 11:12 |
| mpool | might need a faq entry | 11:12 |
| fabbione | imho it's a much better solution than mangling the resolver | 11:12 |
| fabbione | see this setup: | 11:12 |
| fabbione | box connected to crappy ISP | 11:12 |
| fabbione | ipv6 tunnel to whatever free ipv6 isp | 11:12 |
| fabbione | box dns points to crappy isp | 11:12 |
| fabbione | you can't use ipv6 at all because it doesn't resolve | 11:13 |
| fabbione | you install local bind | 11:13 |
| fabbione | you win over your crappy ISP | 11:13 |
| fabbione | and you can use ipv6 | 11:13 |

| Diziet | That's nice. My mirror is obviously out of date. | 01:08 |
| infinity | Also made an executive decision about versioning, as a guy who occasionally does security uploads, and changed the c/r to (<< ${Source-Version}).... Sure, it's not technically true, but it serves the same purpose, makes life a lot less painful, and the only drawback is that it forces the packages to be in version lockstep. | 01:08 |

| Rotund | What is the proper procedure to go about requesting a package gets updated to a newer version before Breezy is released? | 04:32 |
| Rotund | is it a bug report? | 04:32 |
| Mithrandir | Rotund: if it's in main: you're probably too late, if it's in universe, ask on #ubuntu-motu | 04:32 |
| bddebian | Rotund: A main or universe package? | 04:32 |
| Rotund | libtheora. I'm assuming main | 04:32 |
| mvo | Riddell: if you haven't uploaded kdm already, please hold on a bit. I have a second version of the console-screen patch | 04:33 |
| bddebian | Rotund: Yep, it's main so you probably won't see it. | 04:33 |
| Rotund | darn. they've fixed the memory leaks and bitrate management issues | 04:34 |
| Rotund | That's kind of major in my mind | 04:34 |
| Mithrandir | Rotund: is it a clean and nice patch? | 04:34 |
| Rotund | I don't know. | 04:34 |
| Rotund | alpha4 was 14 Dec 2005 and alpha5 was 20 Aug 2005 | 04:35 |
| Rotund | I have to assume there were major changes | 04:35 |
| Rotund | Well. they call it a "incremental update" | 04:36 |
| janimo | Rotund, the changes summarized on their site suggests there aren't so many | 04:36 |
| Rotund | The site suggests that, but 8 months between releases would make me think that's unlikely | 04:37 |
| Kamion | depends on how active the project is. | 04:37 |
| Kamion | anyway, only way to actually check is to look at the changelog or the source diff | 04:37 |
| Riddell | bddebian: I don't see what's wrong with adding that, having an untranslated .desktop file is better than none at all in my opinion | 04:38 |
| Rotund | I'd hope theora (the great hope for a good open source no patent video codec) is fairly active | 04:38 |
| Riddell | bddebian: but don't take my word for it | 04:38 |
| jdthood | I have been looking at bugs filed at bugs.freedesktop.org for the radeon driver. I find that some of the issues reported there are also mentioned in the xserver-xorg changelog, sometimes as fixed. Are patches being sent upstream? | 04:39 |
| bddebian | seb128: Do you have an opinion on that? | 04:39 |
| highvoltage | elmo: i want to arrange a mirror for ubuntu & edubuntu at a local isp. how much space would it take up? and which paths should ideally be mirrored? | 04:43 |

| Rotund | another question about packages. What if there's a newer version of the package in Debian (same maintainer) than in Universe? | 04:56 |
| Rotund | (Ross Burton and Meld) | 04:56 |
| elmo | jdub: ? | 04:57 |
| jdub | Rotund: we stop syncing at UpstreamVersionFreeze - that's quite normal | 04:57 |
| jdub | hey elmo | 04:57 |
| ogra | Rotund, main packages need a real good reason to et upgraded in this state of the release cycle, added features dont fall in this category... | 04:57 |
| ogra | Rotund, but inuverse upgrades are possible as long as it is proven that a upgrade doesnt affect any other packages or introduces new bugs | 04:58 |
| sivang | Rotund: mainly bugfixes | 04:58 |
| ogra | Rotund, so if it doesnt introduce new breakage, meld seems like a good candidate | 04:59 |
| Rotund | Well, I see the libtheora as bugfixes. The meld is a much larger change (going version 1.0) but there's no interlinking | 04:59 |
| ogra | Rotund, for universe stuff #ubuntu-motu is the right place | 04:59 |
| Rotund | ogra: and what should I say? | 05:00 |
| ogra | Rotund, which crasher or dataloss bugs does the theors upgrade fix ? | 05:00 |
| ogra | *theora | 05:00 |
| Rotund | bad encoding/decoding and memory leaks. | 05:00 |
| Kamion | ogra: don't confuse him by talking about universe - libtheora is in main | 05:00 |
| ogra | Kamion, he asked about meld | 05:01 |
| Rotund | Kamion: meld is in universe | 05:01 |
| Kamion | oh, but meld, ok | 05:01 |
| Kamion | fair enough, sorry | 05:01 |
| Rotund | I've found 2 packages =) | 05:01 |
| ogra | Rotund, go to -motu and ask for a update there, the MOTUs will care for it | 05:02 |
| Rotund | libtheora I expected to see a new version when it was released in August and didn't notice it hadn;t gotten upgraded until now | 05:02 |
| ogra | for theora ... that needs proof that it really fixes stuff... | 05:02 |

| ogra | dunno a bug # though... but its quite annoying and thim never managed to fix it | 05:05 |
| ogra | thom even | 05:05 |
| sivang | I guess we should use epiphany , as seb128 says :) | 05:06 |
| Diziet | I haven't looked at it at all. It gives me the impression of being very nontrivial. | 05:06 |
| Rotund | Hmmm. libtheora on Debian hasn't been updated at all (even in unstable) | 05:06 |
| Rotund | That's interesting as there wasn't many changes | 05:06 |
| Diziet | Is it upstream ? It's the kind of thing you would think would be in upstream's bugzilla. | 05:06 |
| ogra | i think its a question of missing metacity/wnck integration | 05:06 |
| Diziet | Has _no-one_ noticed that if you have two printers of the same type, you can't print to the second one in firefox ? (Because the second one ends up with a space in its name.) | 05:07 |
| ogra | i guess the lack of two printers prevents most people of notcing :) | 05:07 |
| Rotund | ogra: so for theora, the change list from Xiph isn't good enough. | 05:08 |
| Diziet | But making lots of different printers (all of which don't actually go anywhere) is the only sane way to test printing. | 05:08 |
| sivang | Diziet: firefox specific? not CUPS thing? | 05:08 |
| === mitsuhiko is now known as username | ||
| Diziet | sivang: It's a bug in the default print command. | 05:08 |
| === username is now known as mitsuhiko | ||
| ogra | Rotund, if its not in debian yet its unlikely anyway that we can easily upgrade... | 05:08 |
| Diziet | Of course ffox doesn't bother putting up a dialogue saying `your print command died', let alone capture the stderr and show it to you. | 05:08 |
| Rotund | I guess I don't really care as I'm thinking of grabbing a CVS version of theora anyways. | 05:08 |
| Diziet | So if you run ffox from the panel, you print and nothing comes out and you wonder why. | 05:09 |
| Rotund | thanks a lot | 05:09 |

| Rotund | sorry. I think they'd say "okay now we bump sid to testing and make a new release name for unstable" | 05:11 |
| ogra | Diziet, i think its only a bt fiddling with wnck/metacity... to find out which win is requesting the popup and let it appear there | 05:11 |
| ogra | s/bt/bit | 05:11 |
| ogra | but might be time consuming... | 05:11 |
| ogra | probably to late for tha | 05:11 |
| ogra | t | 05:11 |
| Kamion | Rotund: no, not true; Debian releases testing as stable and then makes a new codename for testing | 05:12 |
| Rotund | I was thinking sarge as well. not sid. double oopsy | 05:12 |
| Rotund | Kamion: yeah. I forgot that notation. | 05:12 |
| Kamion | sid is (nowadays) a permanent codename for unstable | 05:12 |

| Diziet | Strange that it only happens sometimes. | 05:16 |
| ogra | Diziet, metacity uses timestamps for windows since hoary, it prevents windows from stealing the focus.... i think there we would have to look... | 05:18 |

| ogra | hes far deeper in metacity... | 05:31 |
| Diziet | I'm not wholly convinced, in particular because it seems to count UTF-8 chars rather than bytes (which is probably what the X server is complaining about when it sends the error that makes metacity die), and there's no justification for the number 512. | 05:32 |
| === OculusAquilae [n=bastian@p548D2398.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Diziet | I mean the X server probably counts bytes. | 05:32 |

| Diziet | It seems unlikely that there would be just the one, but of course ICBW. | 05:33 |

| ogra | Diziet, see Mithrandir | 05:36 |
| Diziet | If you don't know, that's fine, I'll investigate myself. | 05:36 |
| ogra | so X shouldnt matter here | 05:36 |
| ogra | its a WM thing | 05:36 |
| seb128 | Diziet: is there any reason to put a limit to the title length? | 05:37 |
| Diziet | The way it fails is that metacity sends some X request that's too large and the X server says `no way' and then metacity's X error handler kills it. | 05:37 |
| Riddell | Diziet: no crash in konqueror | 05:37 |
| Mithrandir | openbox limits the title to ~4k, though | 05:37 |
| Diziet | Clearly a title that's too long to display is pointless and ought to be truncated. | 05:37 |

| mdz | pitti: ? | 07:02 |
| pitti | Morning mdz | 07:02 |
| bddebian | Hello mdz | 07:02 |
| pitti | mdz: the idea was to unify the current plethora of "please reboot" update notifications of hal, dbus, kernel, and glibc to one common and well translated generic reboot notification | 07:03 |
| pitti | mdz: u-n would ship this in /usr/share somewhere, packages could just drop a symlink into user.d/ and u-n's init script coudl properly clean up the symlink | 07:04 |
| === VannillaMobi [n=mobile@p508CB274.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | mdz: so user see one nice message instead of 4 untranslated one | 07:04 |
| mdz | pitti: that would definitely be an improvement | 07:04 |
| pitti | mdz: what do you think? | 07:04 |
| mdz | pitti: but what changes are involved? | 07:04 |
| pitti | mdz: u-n needs to ship that file, and we need to update hal, dbus, kernel, and glibc to set a symlink instead of creating their own notifications | 07:04 |
| mdz | I think it should be abstracted in u-n | 07:05 |
| pitti | mdz: (well, glibc does not yet do it, jbailey is just about to add the notification, that's why we discussed about it in the first place) | 07:05 |
| pitti | mdz: a small u-n script that sets the symlink is even nicer, right | 07:05 |
| pitti | mdz: maybe /usr/share/u-n/flag-reboot, or whatever | 07:06 |
| mdz | so packages would do if ...exists...; then notify-reboot-required; fi | 07:06 |
| mdz | right | 07:06 |
| pitti | sounds good | 07:06 |
| mdz | rather than worrying about symlink issues | 07:06 |
| pitti | mdz: I think that is unintrusive enough to be breezyable, and it would improve user experience a lot | 07:06 |
| mdz | that's fine with me if it goes in this week | 07:06 |
| mdz | next week we start rolling RC candidates | 07:06 |
| pitti | mdz:<mvo> pitti: I'll attack it right after coming back from playing hockey | 07:06 |
| pitti | mdz: changing hal and dbus is a piece of cake, kernel probably too | 07:07 |
| pitti | mdz: technically, this would be subject to NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline, though :-) | 07:08 |
| mdz | pitti: well, if we create these common templates in u-n, we can include them in u-n's po file | 07:10 |
| mdz | pitti: and export to rosetta and langpacks | 07:10 |
| mdz | which would be great | 07:10 |
| pitti | right | 07:11 |
| mdz | Diziet: any resolution on the firefox font situation? | 07:11 |
| pitti | we can't just translate them automatically since the files don't use gettext | 07:11 |

| ogra | ? | 07:38 |
| Diziet | Anyway, back to what I was saying: | 07:38 |
| Diziet | So if you think that the metrics have to be right, then surely you must conclude that we have to leave the situation as it is. Since in hoary the metrics were wrong - we used a font with the wrong metrics - and in breezy the situation is more correct. | 07:39 |

| mdz | Diziet: my understanding from the discussion is that the defalut fonts, as in hoary, are Vera, but some users are getting a different font from fontconfig for some reason | 07:42 |
| mdz | Diziet: that's the bit we need to address | 07:42 |
| Diziet | Yes. | 07:42 |
| ogra | yup | 07:42 |
| Diziet | It's a shame no-one is answering my point about metrics. | 07:42 |
| Amaranth | mdz: fontconfig 2.3 change from what has been said | 07:42 |
| Diziet | We can't just change fontconfig to hand out fonts with the wrong metrics more often, because that will break typesetting applications. | 07:43 |
| Amaranth | mdz: the metrics are now correct and good for printing but look like ass on the screen for a website | 07:43 |
| mdz | Amaranth: I'm talking about the fact that some users are getting an entirely different font, as returned by fc-match | 07:43 |
| ogra | Diziet, we shouldnt step away to far from upstream with the metrics... | 07:43 |
| Amaranth | mdz: you mean the ones getting nimbus? | 07:44 |
| mdz | Diziet: if nothing else we should revert to the Hoary behaviour; the change of fonts in firefox is a regression | 07:44 |
| mdz | Amaranth: yes | 07:44 |

| janimo | elmo, did not get it was wondering why you synced the tow others | 07:45 |
| ogra | Diziet, i would follow the blog entry but with the djvu fonts instead of the standard vera fonts, looks like the conclusion for me if i take all answers | 07:45 |
| mdz | it's been duped as 16607 but I can't find the original bug | 07:45 |
| Diziet | I'd like to try to find a proper fix before we jump back to hoary. But if that bug is better than this bug sure. | 07:45 |

| Amaranth | Diziet: I don't think it's right, I think it is just less wrong than breaking either printing or screen reading in fontconfig | 07:53 |
| Amaranth | ogra: if you specify a windows font that you don't have installed, yeah | 07:53 |
| Amaranth | which most websites do....even mine | 07:53 |
| ogra | Amaranth, we have no windows fontrs in ubuntu | 07:53 |
| Amaranth | i know | 07:53 |
| Diziet | AIUI, the problem is when a site asks for a Windows font. | 07:54 |
| Diziet | fontconfig recognises the font name and realises that only Nimbus fits the metrics. | 07:54 |
| Amaranth | i was just showing my change of heart on irc so it wouldn't sound like i'm saying two things at once :) | 07:54 |
| Diziet | So it uses Nimbus. | 07:54 |
| ogra | so this must get fixed... its an odd experience if half the sites look blurry by default, even if they print fine | 07:54 |
| Diziet | Am I right ? | 07:54 |
| Amaranth | Diziet: yep | 07:54 |
| ogra | Diziet, not really... | 07:54 |
| Diziet | Where am I wrong ? | 07:54 |
| Amaranth | The only real solution I can think of is to make fontconfig understand the difference between screen and print. | 07:55 |
| ogra | Diziet, it recognizes that keithp selected Nimbus as the right font... | 07:55 |
| Diziet | keithp ? | 07:55 |
| === lamont-away wonders why his laptop says 'system halted' at the bottom of the screen, but he still can talk to it remotely in a random xterm | ||

| ogra | Diziet, upstream | 07:55 |
| Amaranth | keithp == keith packard, super X hacker ;) | 07:56 |
| Diziet | upstream> Oh, right. | 07:56 |
| Diziet | Yes, yes, but the _reason_ that font is listed there is because it has the right metrics. | 07:56 |
| === sebest is now known as sebest_away | ||
| ogra | thats the real bug imho... it *should* cmpare metrics instead of pulling them from a font file and it should know if its for print or screen... but it doesnt now... | 07:57 |
| Amaranth | wasn't him getting kicked out of the xfree86 team the final straw that made people fork? (offtopic) | 07:57 |
| Diziet | What ? Why would it know print or screen ? It just gets the requested name, right ? | 07:57 |
| pitti | Lathiat: indeed, I'm on a security rampage today :-) | 07:57 |
| ogra | Diziet, only for priting which is not as important in a browser as screen | 07:57 |
| Amaranth | ogra: Yeah, like I said the real solution is to make fontconfig understand the difference between print and screen. That's not happening before breezy releases though. | 07:58 |
| ogra | Diziet, yes, but it *should* know what for the font is needed... | 07:58 |
| Diziet | ogra: *should*> Right. | 07:58 |
| ogra | as long as we have different fonts for print/screen | 07:58 |

| Diziet | So is it really the case that you should never pick a type1 for the screen ? | 08:02 |
| jdub | no | 08:02 |
| ogra | jdub, scale a ttf to 400pt ;) | 08:02 |
| ogra | and then print it :) | 08:02 |
| jdub | ogra: looks fine, no technical reason why it shouldn't | 08:02 |
| Diziet | jdub: Are you disagreeing with: | 08:03 |
| Diziet | <ogra> type1 -> wondeful for printing, they look far better than ttf... | 08:03 |
| jdub | Diziet: it is less optimal to choose type1 for screen because they don't provide as much hinting as ttfs | 08:03 |
| Diziet | <ogra> ttf -> best for screen ... | 08:03 |
| Diziet | jdub: Ah. | 08:03 |
| Diziet | So you would normally prefer a ttf ? | 08:03 |
| jdub | this is not wildly relevant to choosing a font for firefox | 08:03 |
| jdub | of course | 08:03 |
| jdub | one of the bitstream vera family | 08:03 |
| ogra | Diziet, so wipe my first sentence then ... i remember times where you shouldnt have used ttf for print | 08:03 |
| Diziet | Couldn't we have ffox invoke fc with a special flag, eg --use-font-maps-from=/usr/share/other/directory/with/different/mappings ? | 08:04 |

| ogra | Diziet, yeah, in dapper :) | 08:05 |
| Diziet | Well, is it that hard ? | 08:05 |
| jdub | Diziet: erk, why? | 08:05 |
| Diziet | So that ffox can get different answers to gs. | 08:05 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: ttf has always been ok to print, at least since it was introduced in Mac OS 7 in 1991. | 08:05 |
| Diziet | Or whatever else uses fc. | 08:05 |
| ogra | jdub, Diziet wnats perfect metrics for printing | 08:05 |
| jdub | diziet can't always get what he wants :-) | 08:06 |
| Diziet | If you use a font with significantly different metrics with a page description language you end up with seriously damaged output. | 08:06 |
| Diziet | The question is, can I this time ? | 08:06 |
| ogra | Mithrandir, so bring a ps document with embedded ttf fonts to a print shop... | 08:06 |

| jdub | right, so we should not configure fontconfig to match fonts with wildly different metrics | 08:06 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: print shops usually prefer PDFs, not PS nowadays. :-) | 08:07 |
| jdub | and, really, you should be choosing specific fonts when you require this anyway | 08:07 |
| === j^ [n=j@gw.bootlab.org] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Diziet | Was the previous situation with substituting Vera for the M$ fonts OK ? | 08:07 |
| ogra | Mithrandir, i'm out of print business since nearly 10 years *shrug* | 08:07 |
| ogra | Diziet, yes | 08:07 |
| Diziet | jdub: Yes, but we're about to configure it so that even when the document requests specific fonts we give it different ones, aren't we ? | 08:07 |

| jdub | Diziet: why would we do that? | 08:08 |
| ogra | imho you only need 2 fonts in a browser, serif and sans... | 08:08 |
| Diziet | The problem case is web pages which specify a specific font. | 08:08 |
| ogra | err 3 ... monospace indeed | 08:08 |
| Diziet | You'd prefer to nobble it so that ffox only used the defaults ? | 08:09 |
| jdub | Diziet: why is that a problem case? they get what they ask for | 08:09 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: re the gnome slowdown; I'm unable to reproduce that on any machine I have available. The only one which matches the other machines somewhat dies in the middle of the bonnie run, but I was too tired&bored at the end of the day to debug why. | 08:09 |
| Diziet | Web designers are idiots. | 08:09 |
| Diziet | Many sites request specific M$ fonts because that's what was on the idiot's system. | 08:09 |
| Diziet | And they look crap as a result. | 08:09 |
| jdub | and we have fonts that are like those | 08:09 |
| Diziet | (This is not my experience, only my understanding.)# | 08:10 |
| Diziet | We have (a) fonts that would look good if we substituted them and (b) fonts that have the same metrics but not (a)&(b) together. | 08:10 |
| Diziet | Now in a web browser we want (a) and for printing we want (b). | 08:10 |
| jdub | ij | 08:10 |
| jdub | ok | 08:10 |
| jdub | this is solving a non-problem | 08:10 |
| jdub | let's avoid the damage by ignoring whoever suggested this | 08:11 |
| Diziet | People seem to think it's important that web pages look pretty in our browser. | 08:11 |
| jdub | they do | 08:11 |
| jdub | if they think web pages rely on precise font metrics, they're wrong | 08:11 |
| jdub | so | 08:11 |
| Diziet | Not these ones with the broken font specifications, which are (apparently) fairly common. | 08:11 |
| Diziet | Yes, yes, the web pages _don't_ rely on precise metrics. | 08:11 |
| === Yvonne [n=justme@cn-sdm-cr02-1437.dial.kabelfoon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Diziet | They just specify the M$ font. | 08:11 |
| jdub | and that's fine | 08:12 |
| Diziet | If you use another font they render fine. | 08:12 |
| jdub | the browser says "oh, don't have that font, we'll fall back to serif or sans" | 08:12 |
| jdub | or, more likely, the page specifies a fall back | 08:12 |
| Diziet | But, the font that breezy's fontconfig picks when you ask for the M$ one, looks crap. | 08:12 |
| jdub | either way | 08:12 |
| jdub | it doesn't matter | 08:12 |
| jdub | if fontconfig's matching list includes crap looking fonts, remove the matchings that refer to crap looking fonts | 08:12 |
| jdub | better still, remove the fonts | 08:13 |
| Diziet | Those fonts look OK when printed. | 08:13 |
| Diziet | And when a document to be printed asks for the M$ font, we have to give them that font because otherwise the metrics will be wrong and it can look very bad (text overwriting itself, etc.) | 08:13 |
| Amaranth | Diziet: I'm one of those 'idiots' who ask for MS fonts on his website. | 08:14 |
| Diziet | (By document to be printed I mean something in a page description language as opposed to a reformattable document.) | 08:14 |
| jdub | specifics would be nice | 08:14 |
| Amaranth | Diziet: Because falling back to sans-serif has always come out ok. | 08:14 |
| Diziet | ama: But you specify an alternative, right ? | 08:14 |
| Diziet | Does your site look bad in breezy's ffox ? | 08:14 |
| jdub | if 'verdana' matches to 'bitstream vera serif' then yes, that's silly | 08:14 |
| Amaranth | font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; | 08:14 |
| Diziet | And, URL please :-). A nice example would help. | 08:14 |
| Amaranth | Diziet: I dunno, bad superblock on my breezy HD. | 08:15 |
| jdub | Diziet: dude, specifics | 08:15 |
| Diziet | OK, tell me the URL, I'll look for myself. | 08:15 |
| Amaranth | damn netware messages keep popping up and breaking my concentration | 08:15 |
| Diziet | And *sympathy* | 08:15 |
| Amaranth | Diziet: http://www.realistanew.com | 08:15 |
| Diziet | Netware ?? | 08:15 |
| Amaranth | i'm at school | 08:15 |
| ivoks | Amaranth: ugly fonts :/ | 08:16 |
| Amaranth | ivoks: I blame fontconfig. ;) | 08:17 |
| ivoks | Amaranth: ah... | 08:17 |
| ivoks | that's trebuchet | 08:18 |
| Diziet | OK, so that comes out in Nimbus. | 08:18 |
| Diziet | Which is what we don't like. | 08:18 |
| Diziet | And this is not Amaranth's fault, it's our system's. | 08:18 |
| ivoks | Diziet: true | 08:18 |
| Amaranth | it should be falling back to bitstream vera sans or whatever :) | 08:18 |
| ivoks | Amaranth: anyway, trebuchet is ugly :) | 08:18 |
| Amaranth | it looks great here on windows xp | 08:18 |
| ogra | Diziet, i'm not sure... it might be Amaranth's fault anyway ;) | 08:19 |
| Amaranth | trebuchet is a little off, but i wanted to try something different | 08:19 |
| Diziet | If I go into the firefox preferences and ask for Bitstream Vera for serif, I see Bitstream Vera. | 08:19 |
| Diziet | Which I hadn't expected. | 08:19 |
| Diziet | So obviously I still don't understand what's going on. | 08:19 |
| Diziet | Ticking `always use my fonts' works too :-). | 08:19 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: are there any patterns in the hardware configurations of those experiencing it? | 08:20 |
| Amaranth | Why wouldn't you expect it to give you bitstream vera if you ask for it? | 08:20 |
| Amaranth | it only falls back on matching and coming up with nimbus if the requested font isn't available | 08:20 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: a lot of those people seem to have ICH6 IDE bridges. | 08:20 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: I might have access to such a system, but as I said, it was really unstable today. | 08:21 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: are they the same chipsets which have this "led always on" bug? | 08:21 |
| Diziet | amaranth: I guess I don't know how the firefox font preference works. | 08:21 |
| Amaranth | Diziet: it just asks fontconfig for a font | 08:22 |
| Diziet | I had imagined that ffox would take the list from the website's css and replace sans-serif with the string you specify in the preferences. | 08:22 |
| Amaranth | if the font exists it gets exactly what it asked for | 08:22 |
| Diziet | And would then pass that list to fontconfig. | 08:22 |
| Diziet | So given that I don't have `always use my fonts' I would have expected my setting to come last. | 08:22 |
| Amaranth | hmm | 08:23 |
| Amaranth | perhaps it knows to use your font if it doesn't get exactly what it asked for with the other options | 08:23 |
| Diziet | So given it finds Nimbus with the sans preference set to sans, why wouldn't it find it with the sans preference set to Bitstream Vera ? | 08:23 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: it seems to all be intel-based systems at least, but I can't reproduce on my only stable intel system (my x40) | 08:24 |
| Diziet | IBWNI someone here had some idea what was actually going on. I certainly don't. | 08:24 |
| jdub | because you're then saying sans-serif == bitstream vera sans, not "go match!" | 08:24 |
| Diziet | `no match', you mean. | 08:24 |
| Diziet | But if you say fc-match sans-serif you get a match, don't you ? | 08:24 |
| jdub | no, i mean "so go and make a match!" | 08:24 |

| ogra | Diziet, Bitstream is ignored in your line above | 08:26 |
| Diziet | Because it's an absolute match. | 08:26 |
| Diziet | I mean, Helvetica is. | 08:26 |
| Diziet | So what I don't understand is why I get Bitstream Vera by changing the ffox preferences. | 08:27 |
| Diziet | On Amaranth's site. | 08:27 |
| Amaranth | *boggle* | 08:27 |
| Diziet | If that works everywhere perhaps we should just change the ffox prefs. | 08:27 |
| Amaranth | and the gnome prefs, and the kde prefs, etc | 08:28 |
| jdub | what's your match for 'trebuchet ms' | 08:28 |
| jdub | ? | 08:28 |
| jdub | (mine is trebuchet, having the ms fonts installed already) | 08:28 |
| Diziet | root@samual4:~ # fc-match 'trebuchet ms' | 08:29 |
| Diziet | Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman" | 08:29 |
| Amaranth | so you should have been getting bitstream vera sans anyway | 08:29 |
| ivoks | argh.. | 08:29 |
| ivoks | ok | 08:29 |
| ivoks | i have a fix | 08:29 |
| ivoks | fc-match Helvetica | 08:29 |
| ivoks | Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman" | 08:29 |
| ivoks | just kill those Adobe lines in fonts.conf | 08:29 |
| jdub | if we never want nimbus, just kill it from the mathces | 08:29 |

| jdub | it *always* helps to survey what others are doing | 08:31 |

| pitti | seb128: can I somehow switch to the Gnome keyboard settings? I believe I currently use X', so the keyboard applet etc. don't work | 09:19 |
| \sh | zyga: meta+3 i think | 09:19 |
| pitti | mdz: good news about langpacks - it seems that we'll get new packs tomorrow | 09:19 |
| pitti | mdz: having fresh packages tomorrow for testing, and another set of fresh packages right before the release - is that fine? | 09:20 |
| pitti | HiddenWolf: pong | 09:20 |
| zyga | does anything use ~/.local ? | 09:22 |
| zyga | apart from autopackage? | 09:22 |
| HiddenWolf | pitti, all the ports in my cardreader suddenly show up in the gtk filechooser window. Even when there is nothing in them. | 09:22 |
| mdz | pitti: depends on how they go tomorrow ;-) | 09:22 |
| mdz | pitti: get them in as soon as humanly possible | 09:22 |
| HiddenWolf | pitti, not in places or on the desktop. is that seb128's, or something for you? | 09:22 |
| pitti | mdz: carlos just tested today's tarball, and it just has three obsolete translation domains | 09:23 |
| seb128 | pitti: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/overrideSettings maybe? | 09:23 |
| zyga | or... does anyone here use/ever-used autopackage | 09:23 |
| pitti | mdz: so in theory I could even use it, but tomorrow we should get all | 09:23 |
| Keybuk | zyga: freedesktop-ish stuff uses it too | 09:23 |
| zyga | Keybuk: hmm | 09:23 |
| Keybuk | ~/.local/share/applications is where custom .desktop files go, for example | 09:23 |
| zyga | Keybuk: mine was heavily polluted | 09:24 |
| zyga | with autopackage | 09:24 |
| Keybuk | yes, well, autopackage | 09:24 |
| Keybuk | aka. "please fuck my system with a chainsaw, no, pleeeease" | 09:24 |
| zyga | vim: relocation error: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/librt.so.1: symbol __pthread_clock_settime, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in fil e libpthread.so.0 with link time reference | 09:24 |
| mdz | pitti: we need some time to catch the errors we haven't seen yet | 09:24 |
| mdz | pitti: through user exposure | 09:24 |
| mdz | pitti: which domains are they | 09:24 |
| pitti | mdz: right | 09:24 |
| ogra | mdz, that ltsp patch you sent is for the debian package... while i agree that the exporting should be done in the build-client script, i dont agree with the implementation as well as with the rest ... | 09:25 |
| pitti | mdz: btw, we always review the full diff, so it shouldn't get too bad | 09:25 |
| mdz | pitti: which domains are obsolete? | 09:25 |
| mdz | pitti: you review the full diff including all of the changed translations in every language? | 09:26 |
| pitti | mdz: gdm, control-center and evolution | 09:26 |
| carlos | mdz, gdm, evolution and control-center | 09:26 |
| mdz | pitti: oh, those are important ones ;-) | 09:26 |
| pitti | mdz: well, I can't review every single bit of 22 MB :-) | 09:26 |
| mdz | ogra: I forwarded it to you because you are working on the same problem | 09:26 |
| ogra | mdz, not really... | 09:26 |
| pitti | mdz: but when you look a it, you get a fairly good idea about the differences | 09:26 |
| mdz | pitti: but there are many updated translations from rosetta, right? | 09:27 |
| ogra | mdz, i need to generate the dhcp.conf on the fly... these probs are already solved for ue | 09:27 |
| pitti | mdz: yes, some | 09:27 |
| mdz | pitti: that is what I mean, we need time to QA the translation changes | 09:27 |
| ogra | s/ue/us | 09:27 |
| pitti | mdz: right, exactly my feelign, that's why I want fresh packs ASAP, and not just before release | 09:27 |
| ogra | mdz, but moving the exports to the script is indeed the better way | 09:27 |
| janimo | seb128 if there's a way of reminding you of the lpi/libgnome patch without being annoying let me know :) | 09:32 |
| seb128 | janimo: I just have something like 700 bugs to my bugzilla list so you have to be patient | 09:33 |
| janimo | seb128, ok it is just holding up xubuntu-desktop a bit, but ok if it is done before release I am fine.thanks | 09:34 |
| seb128 | you can't get xubuntu-desktop grabbing libgnome for the moment? | 09:35 |
| janimo | seb128, I could I guess but that may mean the actual testers will be fewer if they have memory footprint issues | 09:36 |
| janimo | I'll do that if it takes a while till you get to the fix though | 09:36 |
| janimo | I just worry not to delay it too much so it becomes too risky for breezy | 09:37 |

| mjg59 | janimo: Yeah, ogra is right. It's gdm that actually calls pmi | 09:58 |
| janimo | ok thanks | 10:00 |
| janimo | I actually manage to call pmi from xfce-session but on resume X is killed and I am dropped into console | 10:00 |

| jbailey | In the end, so is docs, really. | 11:03 |
| mdke | ogra, the doc is maintained b the doc team | 11:03 |
| Nafallo | ogra: yea, but rather have the -docs conflict and put the page in /usr/share/homepage.html or something ;-) | 11:03 |
| jbailey | I'm not clear on the separation aside from who's producing it. | 11:03 |
| mdke | not much point having to syncronise the two packages | 11:03 |
| jdub | ogra: you would've had to change the url in the old scheme too | 11:04 |
| ogra | Nafallo, i can only put the page where ff looks ... | 11:04 |
| ogra | jdub, nope | 11:04 |
| mdke | ogra, then agree with jbailey the right place to put the page | 11:04 |
| jdub | the old url included ubuntu-artork | 11:04 |
| Nafallo | ogra: well, we have to make ff look at things where it's sensible then... | 11:04 |
| ogra | jdub, i linked it in postinst and removed the link in postrm... edubuntu-artwork depends on ubuntu-artwork since it reuses most of the ubuntu stuff from there | 11:05 |

| mdke | ogra, do something similar? | 11:05 |
| ogra | so it was perfectly right there without much fiddling... now i have to have two packages for a derivative branding | 11:05 |
| jbailey | You'd want to fiddle with -docs anyway | 11:06 |
| ogra | mdke, i'll do that anyway since i need -docs for edubuntu... but that way we force everyone to have *two* branding packages for his derivative, thats not nice | 11:06 |
| mdke | do we? | 11:07 |
| ogra | sure | 11:07 |
| mdke | well the package is maintained in our repository | 11:08 |
| jbailey | The whole fact that the file is in a path that contains the word ubuntu breaks the sabdfl's want to make it possible to remove the word 'ubuntu' from the system, I think. | 11:08 |
| mdke | do with it what you like | 11:08 |
| sladen | ogra: could you move human etc into a base-branding and then keep the really specific stuff in a separate package (and then perhaps override that) | 11:08 |
| mdke | jbailey, iirc mark gave his approval to putting the page in ubuntu-docs | 11:08 |
| ogra | sladen, yes, that would probably be best... | 11:08 |
| ogra | but having such chamges now that my packages were in order and i didnt plan time to change them before release is quite hard to manage... | 11:09 |
| ogra | but well... | 11:09 |
| mdke | ogra, perhaps it is best if you guys discuss it all together on the mailing list or something | 11:10 |
| ogra | it would have been nice to know about it before... | 11:10 |
| mdke | it is not too late to sort it out either way | 11:10 |
| mdke | ogra, yeah, you said that | 11:10 |
| ogra | mdke, for me it is... i just lost a week of edubuntu development to the screensaver | 11:11 |
| ogra | and i dont even know here to get the time to finish edubuntu ... now surprise surprise i have to touch packages that i thought were finished | 11:11 |
| ogra | it just breaks my schedule.. | 11:12 |
| mdke | ogra, perhaps just write an email to the list and let the people who decide these things sort it out | 11:12 |
| ogra | mdke, how ? i will make the change to my package... but the communication here is not well it seems, its ot the first time i ran into such a trap.. i'll put a BOF on the BOF list to have it better in dapper... | 11:13 |
| ogra | s/ot/not | 11:13 |
| lamont | I wonder if I should worry that xscreensaver-data (or some such) failed to configure correctly during a dist-upgrade to breezy | 11:14 |
| ogra | mdke, the decision apprently was made already... | 11:14 |
| mdke | ogra, it is very trivial to un-decide and re-decide, afaics | 11:14 |
| mdke | since the file just needs to be built and inserted into one or the other package | 11:15 |

| mdz | mdke: there are translations for About Ubuntu? they aren't in the package. | 11:15 |

| ogra | mdke, i will just accept it now... but i'm not happy that i didnt know about it | 11:16 |
| pitti | seb128: the issues are resolved, so it can be promoted | 11:16 |

| mdz | mjg59: any suggestions on the console font issue? | 11:47 |
| ogra | LaschW, glaub ich nich ;) | 11:47 |
| mjg59 | mdz: We can't change the console font while in graphics mode. We can either fix the kernel so we can (not practical now), do it in text mode (either before usplash or after usplash) or not set the console font at all | 11:47 |
| LaschW | ogra: Hhhm, up to now I know about 3 companies who asked about input on breezy OEM-Install... | 11:48 |
| mdz | mjg59: what we do now is do it after usplash, in gdm, immediately before X starts | 11:48 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 11:48 |
| mjg59 | Which means flicking to a text console briefly | 11:48 |
| mdz | this seems to cause a noticeable vt switch, though, which would be nice to avoid if possible | 11:48 |
| mjg59 | I can't see any way around that | 11:49 |
| mjg59 | Though it's possible we might be able to get it to switch to a blank console | 11:49 |
| ogra | LaschW, i havent wokred in ths area at all... but i'm sure Kamion does a documentaion an the translation team will translate it... but there is no specific german documentation writer afaik | 11:49 |
| mvo | mdz, mjg59: I'll try that again tomorrow, I was experimenting with various ways to avoid the flickering today (without much sucess :/) | 11:51 |
| MK | anyone: is there a way of "upgrading" to Colony5 from the preview release by using apt/synaptic, or do I have to re-install fully? (in relation to: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16244#c6) - if I run apt-get update + apt-get dist-upgrade .. will this do the trick? | 11:52 |

| mjg59 | mvo: Calling the usplash init script is almost certainly the wrong thing to do | 11:52 |
| mjg59 | mvo: Try just chvting to an unused console | 11:53 |
| mjg59 | There'll be flicker, but there won't be any text | 11:53 |
| ogra | LaschW, thats bad :/ | 11:53 |
| mjg59 | mvo: You shouldn't need to wait for usplash to exit. Just do the chvt and it'll release the lock when it's shut down | 11:54 |
| mvo | mjg59: thanks, will do this | 11:54 |
| jbailey | mvo: Ooo. The -15 usplash actually quits properly for me now when I break in the initramfs. Thanks! | 11:56 |
