[02:33] <maswan> jdong: yeah, if you got to have just one default though, everywhere outside of USA is A4
[02:34] <jdong> maswan: I agree with that, but IMO a special-case with USA should be implemented in debian-installer's location dialog :)

[04:49] <jbailey> There's still enough little bugs being fixed that it's worth pushing it as late as you can get away with and still have enough.

[04:49] <jbailey> I hadn't. =)

[09:10] <Keybuk> Mailman day is the first day of each month
[09:10] <Keybuk> when all around the world, millions of people feel a little warm fuzzy feeling when their inbox gets spammed by all the password reminders for all the lists they're on
[09:10] <robitaille> never heard of that one

[09:28] <jdub> sounds like it's very much related to the lions running through the streets
[09:28] <mdke> damn lions
[09:28] <jdub> let's just hope the messiah doesn't turn up again and zap us all into dust

[09:34] <robitaille> Daniel of Victoria has a nice feel to it

[09:40] <jdub> vuntz: yes, there's a glow behind it - i will probably muck with it a bit to make the glow both more pronounced, but much closer to the object
[09:40] <crimsun> due to the image border? e.g., the "block"
[09:41] <robitaille> oh yes, just looking at http://www.canonical.com/   ;  never noticed its logo  was different from the ubuntu logo
[09:43] <mdke> are there going to be firefox translations for breezy?
[09:44] <jdub> robitaille: dude, our first podcast bits on the fridge in a few minutes :)

[09:46] <ajmitch> jdub: rock, what's it about?
[09:46] <jdub> well, unfortunately it's an interview with me
[09:46] <robitaille> jdub,  cool.  by the way, I should an small article about MOTU somewhere in the queue since yesterday; but I can't see it :(
[09:46] <ajmitch> it'll be lively at least :)
[09:46] <jdub> robitaille: yes, been meaning to email about that
[09:46] <ajmitch> robitaille: what dirty MOTU secrets are you exposing?
[09:46] <jdub> robitaille: i think we should try to summarise and link to the full notes
[09:47] <robitaille> ajmitch,  the meeting notes.
[09:47] <ajmitch> ah right
[09:47] <ajmitch> in slightly more readable for the average person format?
[09:47] <robitaille> jdub,   yeah;  I ran out of time, so decided that just the notes would work this time around
[09:47] <jdub> ajmitch: mmm, so, "here are the big points - yay team - click here for the full summary"
[09:48] <robitaille> they were old news anyway.  The meeting was on the 22th...
[09:48] <ajmitch> yeah
[09:48] <ajmitch> we usually get the meeting notes out to the lists within a few days
[09:50] <ajmitch> imo the meeting notes generally aren't terribly exciting
[09:52] <mdke> what is the relationship between the fridge and http://www.ubuntu.com/news ?

[09:55] <ajmitch> jdub: where do you want us to report website broken links? :)
[09:55] <jdub> haven't quite figured that out, either the fridge will double report the Totally Officious news on w.u.c, or we'll republish a category from the fridge on w.u.c
[09:56] <jdub> now, ubuntu/press is *definitely* replaced with the fridge
[09:56] <jdub> so robitaille - don't bother ;)
[09:56] <robitaille> soon?

[10:12] <jmg> guys whats the best way for me to diff a source package after ive fixed a bug
[10:12] <bob2> ?
[10:13] <bob2> you mean "how do I produce a patch for a bug fix I did?"?
[10:13] <jmg> i have modified the source tree from apt-get source and my built package fixes the bug im filing, what next?
[10:13] <jmg> is there a right way to do the patch? using dpkg-source or something?
[10:13] <bob2> easiest way is to unpack the original somewhere else and use diff to get a patch between them
[10:13] <bob2> another option is to use interdiff on the old and new .diff.gzs
[10:13] <Keybuk> jmg: if you have the old source dsc and your new source dsc file, use the "debdiff" tool in the devscripts package

[10:23] <ajmitch> jmg: and what was the problem with kvpnc?
[10:23] <jmg> ajmitch: option "refuse eap" does not refuse eap
[10:23] <jmg> as in, the source was missing the stanza to write refuse-eap to the config file
[10:23] <jmg> so i added it
[10:23] <ajmitch> ok
[10:24] <jmg> should i send my patch directly to upstream
[10:24] <ajmitch> you can, but we're not likely to get in a new upstream version at this stage
[10:24] <jmg> ok
[10:24] <jmg> cool
[10:25] <jmg> ajmitch: it seems wintendo 2k3 recently started supporting eap
[10:25] <jmg> ajmitch: but it doesnt actually work
[10:25] <jdub> ok dudes
[10:25] <jdub> what are some rad podcast clients in hoary?
[10:25] <jmg> ajmitch: so you have to explicitly say refuse-eap and use mppe
[10:26] <jmg> in hoary?
[10:26] <jdub> yeah
[10:26] <jdub> want to point people to stuff they can use now

[10:31] <robitaille> jdub,  in Hoary?  podcast tool?  I don't think there are any.   ipodder is only in Breezy.  the Wiki has instruction to install it in Hoary
[10:31] <jdub> wow, really?
[10:31] <robitaille> is monopod still in revu?
[10:31] <ajmitch> jdub: podcasts just weren't cool back in hoary's day :)
[10:31] <ajmitch> robitaille: possibly, unless someone has uploaded it
[10:31] <jdub> it's not in the repo
[10:31] <jdub> ajmitch: yeah, stupid old hoary
[10:31] <jdub> everything six months old SUCKS!
[10:32] <robitaille> but that's only for breezy as well possibly.  Some people also use bashpodder, but that's not rad, and I don't think it is packaged
[10:32] <ajmitch> jdub: yeah, I was thinking how old my (small) stack of hoary cds is now :)
[10:32] <jdub> ok, i guess i will just point to ipodder and the wiki page for putting it on hoary
[10:32] <robitaille> ajmitch,  hey, I only got my hoary CD a few weeks ago.  I still haven't finished distributing them :)
[10:33] <Keybuk> hmm, anyone got much experience with either libcurl or libneon?  which is the easier HTTP library?
[10:33] <ajmitch> breezy has spoilt me
[10:33] <bob2> baz uses libneon
[10:33] <bob2> that may be reason enough to use curl
[10:33] <jdub> you have a nasty, whorish mouth
[10:34] <jdub> </anchorman>
[10:34] <Keybuk> I basically need to make an HTTP request to get a cookie, than make a couple of other HTTP requests with that cookie and get the data

[10:34] <jdub> (not necessarily in that order)
[10:34] <mdke> is usplash coming back in breezy?
[10:34] <bob2> it's already in breezy
[10:34] <Treenaks> mdke: "coming back"? was it away?
[10:34] <bob2> and is the default
[10:34] <bob2> etc
[10:35] <jdub> mdke: there's just a funny bug with it atm
[10:35] <Keybuk> jdub: and then I need to parse the resulting data, and maintain a socket to a server which uses a hideous binary protocol that involves lots of bit-banging
[10:35] <mdke> Treenaks, it is not working since yesterday

[10:36] <Keybuk> sadly this is delicate bone china that needs glueing together
[10:36] <jdub> python will turn up in our initramfs soon enough
[10:37] <Keybuk> it so won't
[10:37] <infinity> Keybuk : cURL's API is really simple to get into.  neon's not all that difficult either, though, so I'd pick whichever one's already installed on your system. :)
[10:37] <jdub> yeah it will

[12:25] <Kamion> jdub: it's got a few problems: UI is OK but not superb, it shouldn't create a user in the first stage if you're doing an OEM install, it doesn't install language packs for you, and something else seems to be wrong with localisation of questions in oem-config itself
[12:25] <Kamion> jdub: but it's not too far off, I think
[12:27] <Kamion> Yagisan: in what way is the bug you reported different from #16742? it seems like a duplicate to me
[12:28] <Kamion> Yagisan: the second stage of the installer is just a mostly-normal boot
[12:28] <jdub> Kamion: cool, thanks :)
[12:29] <jdub> Kamion: wondering at what level i should pitch it as a BREEZY NEW HOTNESS feature - worth mentioning, not worth saying it's the cure for cancer. :-)
=== herzi [n=herzi@c151070.adsl.hansenet.de]  has joined #ubuntu-devel
[12:29] <Kamion> jdub: you might like to try 'install preseed/file=/cdrom/preseed/oem.seed' with a vaguely recent install CD and see what you think yourself
[12:30] <Kamion> I'll make that be a proper boot option before RC
[12:31] <Yagisan> Kamion: I wasn't aware that the second stage wasn't any different. Did I at least get the right package ?
[12:32] <janimo> Kamion, do ubuntu/kubuntu/edubuntu have different questions in the install process?
[12:32] <Kamion> Yagisan: debian-installer is a fine catch-all package if you don't know installer internals
[12:32] <janimo> if different packages are installed their debconf is run?
[12:32] <Yagisan> Kamion: OK. I just noticed it does the same thing with ext2
[12:33] <Kamion> Yagisan: ! stick that in the bug, I'll take a look
[12:33] <Kamion> that sounds incredible
[12:33] <janimo> I'd like to know how feasible is to ask the user to chose their preferred windowmanager in the xubuntu install
[12:33] <azeem> janimo: doesn't XFCE have a default windowmanager?
[12:34] <janimo> azeem, yes
[12:34] <Kamion> janimo: different default answers, but basically the same set of questions
[12:34] <janimo> but people said that if we have space left on the CD we may include icewm and fluxbox as a choice
[12:34] <janimo> just a possibility if it turns out that it's easy to do
[12:34] <Kamion> janimo: certainly debconf questions for different packages are asked, although generally without actually interacting with the user
[12:34] <jdub> janimo: let users switch to them later - make it 'just work' by default :-)
[12:34] <azeem> they could install it optionally
[12:34] <janimo> jdub, ok
[12:34] <janimo> it was the ubuntulite people's proposal
[12:35] <jdub> janimo: the kind of users who care will know how to do it (or know how to find out)
[12:35] <Kamion> janimo: thing is, you have to have some package that asks that question
[12:35] <Kamion> janimo: the installer won't do it for you - not its place
[12:35] <jdub> janimo: ah, so the ubuntulite people could easily use a kickstart or preseed file to sort that stuff out
[12:35] <Kamion> and that gets kinda complex when multiple packages are involved
[12:35] <janimo> Kamion,sure so if I have a dummy xubuntu-wm pacakge with debconf data in the default install it will ask the question?
[12:36] <Kamion> janimo: yeah, although I tend to agree with jdub here
=== Yagisan [n=jamie@220-245-252-194-nsw-pppoe.tpgi.com.au]  has left #ubuntu-devel [] 
[12:36] <janimo> sure, I'll take your word for it I know nothing bout the install process
[12:36] <Kamion> janimo: the normal approach would be to have the window manager packages notice if multiple ones are installed, rather than having a separate multiplexing package
[12:36] <jdub> holy crap!
[12:36] <Kamion> kind of like how display managers work
[12:36] <jdub> the fridge is a podcast too!
[12:36] <jdub> :-)
[12:36] <Kamion> that gets rather complex to sort out at short notice, though
=== ajmitch runs to the fridge
[12:37] <janimo> Kamion, ok we'll just stick with xfce default for now
[12:39] <janimo> what is with Tasks: in the package descriptions?
[12:39] <jdub> the codenames poll is running at 74% to 26% with > 400 votes
[12:39] <janimo> I see edubuntu has different versions for some of them than ubuntu
[12:40] <janimo> for some package apt-cache shows two package versions (ubu & edubu)

[12:41] <zyga> crevette: hello
[12:41] <janimo> so the list archives are visible but are laggin 3 days behind
[12:41] <jdub> janimo: heh :)
[12:41] <ajmitch> jdub: that'd be me :)
[12:41] <Kamion> janimo: that Task: stuff is essentially an implementation detail of the installer
[12:41] <jdub> janimo: ah, no, that's a separate problem
[12:41] <Kamion> anything that's to be installed as part of the Edubuntu desktop, e.g., gets Task: edubuntu-desktop
[12:42] <Kamion> jdub: hmm, what should the OEM install do about users in the first stage? it really ought not to create a non-privileged user; but that means setting a root password, else you're locked out?
[12:42] <Kamion> at the moment, passwd.config requires you to do at least one of (set a root password) and (create a non-priv user)
[12:43] <jdub> is this for the initial setup phase, or the first boot phase?
[12:43] <Kamion> initial setup
[12:44] <Kamion> oem-config will ask you for a username/password/etc. if and only if there isn't a non-privileged user already
[12:44] <jdub> maybe create an 'oem' user that is removed on cleanup?
[12:44] <jdub> perhaps preseed oem:oem
[12:45] <Kamion> ... and hope that the OEMs don't decide to install openssh-server? ;-)
[12:46] <jdub> i don't get what that would break
[12:46] <Kamion> the system is networked on firstboot; if we have a default password and the OEM decides to install openssh-server, you can start trying to opportunistically ssh to places with oem:oem
[12:47] <Kamion> hmm, another option could be to ask the OEM to set a root password, and disable root again in oem-config
[12:47] <Kamion> OEMs should be able to cope
[12:47] <jdub> but you want them to log in as an unprivileged user
[12:47] <Kamion> I don't want the OEM to log in at all
[12:47] <jdub> and be able to happily kill off that user
[12:47] <jdub> ah,ok
[12:47] <Kamion> oem-config runs as root with a special display manager
[12:47] <Kamion> it has to run as root anyway
[12:48] <jdub> so how do i munge files?
=== jdub thinks the opportunistic hacking thing is a really limited thing which could be documented as a warning :)
[12:48] <Kamion> oh, I think they might as well log in as root for that
[12:48] <Kamion> it's not like it should last long
[12:48] <jdub> so no user, but they get root
[12:48] <Kamion> and they'll always be munging system files, never user config
[12:48] <jdub> yeah
[12:49] <jdub> i guess oems can handle lack of purty desktop
[12:49] <jdub> we can say "suffer in your jocks" in the documentation
[12:49] <Kamion> probably depends on the OEM
[12:49] <Kamion> so the flow at the moment is roughly:
[12:50] <Kamion> first stage mostly as normal (modulo different username/password stage)
[12:50] <Kamion> second stage mostly as normal, but at the end of base-config, it offers to let you run a system test
[12:50] <Kamion> which is hwdb-client with the serial numbers filed off
[12:50] <jdub> heh
[12:51] <Kamion> when that exits, you get the gdm login screen, and can mess around
[12:51] <jdub> as root?
[12:51] <Kamion> (I guess that would be inconvenient without a root user - doesn't gdm forbid logging in as root by default these days?)
[12:52] <jdub> yeah :-)
[12:52] <jdub> perhaps not running gdm would be the right thing to do there
[12:52] <Kamion> then when you next reboot, you get oem-config popping up; when you finish with that, you get gdm
[12:52] <jdub> "now you can log in and muck around, or shut down ready for duplication"
[12:52] <Kamion> alternatively, we could create an oem user as you say, but make the OEM supply a password
[12:52] <Kamion> that would satisfy my concerns
[12:53] <jdub> seems a little bit more ubuntuish
[12:53] <Kamion> and avoid awkwardnesses with running as root
[12:53] <jdub> ooh, we could set a background image with "HEY! DON'T SAVE STUFF HERE! THIS USER WILL BE REMOVED!"
[12:53] <jdub> or maybe a translated zenity popup :-)

[12:59] <jdub> congratulations on finally choosing a distribution
[12:59] <jdub> though i'll reserve full judgement until next week
[12:59] <jdub> :-)
[01:00] <spayne> next week?
[01:00] <Kamion> so ok, we preseed username = oem, fullname = "OEM Configuration", suffer a slightly obscure password prompt, and say something at the end of oem-config-test to tell them that they can log in as the oem user with the password they provided
[01:00] <jdub> when you change your mind again
[01:00] <spayne> jdub: what happens next week
[01:00] <Kamion> I guess that'll work, with sufficient docs
[01:00] <Kamion> cheers jdub
[01:00] <jdub> Kamion: obscure because it's "enter password for ... say what?"
[01:00] <Kamion> yeah
[01:01] <Kamion> but a pain to fix at this stage
[01:01] <Kamion> although we could let them enter the username of their choice, too ...
[01:01] <jdub> Kamion: i can write up some stuff about doing system-level defaults configuration with gconf-editor for this, btw
=== Valandil [n=chrys@dslb-084-056-112-170.pools.arcor-ip.net]  has joined #ubuntu-devel
[01:01] <jdub> and just delete all users?
[01:01] <Kamion> just makes it a little less trivial to delete later, but not insuperably so
[01:01] <jdub> seems bong
[01:01] <Kamion> remember the first one, delete that
[01:01] <Kamion> or check the name from the installer debconf db
[01:02] <jdub> surely we'd have to delete all users-- hrm
[01:02] <jdub> hmmm
[01:02] <ajmitch> jdub: good podcast :)
=== jdub thinks about the server case, where you could set up a number of role-based users
[01:02] <Kamion> I think if we looked up the name that the installer created, that would do
[01:02] <Kamion> people who run oem-config on non-OEM installs would kinda lose though
[01:03] <jdub> what do we do about uid 1001+ ? :)
[01:03] <Kamion> we delete the OEM user *before* running adduser
[01:03] <Kamion> the oem user wouldn't be used in the end-user-firstboot stage anyway
[01:04] <Kamion> could easily set a special preseeded flag to say that it's an OEM install and it's OK to delete the first user
[01:05] <jdub> right, but what if the intention of the dude installing the system is to prime it with, like, four role-based admin users?
[01:06] <Kamion> could tell them that the user they created is only temporary, and to add additional users if they want users to persist
[01:07] <Kamion> as long as it's only the installer-created user that's temporary, it doesn't seem too bad
[01:07] <Kamion> dunno, it's a bit awkward
[01:07] <jdub> perhaps, for this version, we should just document that it's only intended for the single user case, and we can worry about the other cases later :)
=== infinity is still puzzled about why you need to create/delete an OEM user at all...
[01:08] <jdub> infinity: so you can log in and set stuff up
[01:08] <infinity> What's wrong with the pre-first-boot bypassing login?
[01:09] <infinity> If you want them to have GUI config tools on that pre-first-boot, just do a hard startx, bypassing both login and gdm.
[01:09] <infinity> Then when they're done, put the proper first-boot sequence in place.
[01:10] <jdub> running as root? bah
[01:10] <infinity> They need to gain root to do any system configs ANYWAY.
[01:10] <jdub> Kamion: maybe you could create the oem user with uid 20000
[01:10] <infinity> I don't really see the difference here.
[01:10] <Kamion> jdub: btw, oem-config doubles as a proof-of-concept of the debconf+python+glade idea we discussed way back in Oxford
[01:10] <jdub> infinity: running everything as root sucks
[01:10] <jdub> Kamion: oh, seriously? rad!
[01:11] <infinity> jdub : <shrug>... I'm just seeing this as an extension of the (run-as-root) installer.
[01:11] <Kamion> yeah, I filter the debconf protocol and pop up python/glade dialogs whose answers are then fed back into the debconf db before returning control
[01:11] <jdub> how much does that help a future ubuntuexpress?
[01:11] <infinity> It's not like they're logging in to USE the system, just configure an image.
[01:11] <jdub> infinity: being d-i, which i trust more in a user's hands running as root than, say, nautilus
[01:11] <Kamion> jdub: I tried to make it fairly generic, although it's rather hard to write code in that model; we'll see
[01:12] <Kamion> I tend to agree with jdub here
[01:12] <infinity> jdub : What are you afraid nautilus will do, and what, precisely, are we trying to prevent these oems from doing?
[01:12] <Kamion> although using nautilus to do stuff as root when you aren't root is hideously painful, no?
[01:12] <jdub> infinity: "hrm, look at all this crap, /me drags /dev to the trash"
[01:12] <Kamion> either we tell them to do everything at a shell, or we run nautilus as root ...
[01:12] <infinity> No one would, they'd just fire up a console, sudo themselves, and fiddle that way.
[01:12] <jdub> Kamion: yes
=== jdub personally thinks there are *NO* use cases for nautlius-as-root
[01:13] <infinity> And if we're telling them to do everything with a shell, then they don't need X at all, and still don't need an OEM user.
[01:13] <jdub> and every time a possibility is mentioned, it's better solved in other ways
=== sebest|dodo is now known as sebest
[01:13] <Kamion> yeah, we could just shove them into a login shell
[01:13] <infinity> jdub : If an OEM drops /dev in the trash, I hardly think that's our problem.
[01:13] <infinity> jdub : They can do the same on the command line, too.
[01:13] <jdub> infinity: but we're not. i would like to write gconf-editor docs for setting defaults and stuff.
=== HWolf [n=HiddenWo@136.93.dynamic.phpg.net]  has joined #ubuntu-devel
[01:14] <jdub> infinity: nevertheless, running the entire desktop as root is crack, and we don't have to anyway
[01:14] <infinity> jdub : You can just run X with gconf-editor as the foreground application. :)
[01:14] <Kamion> jdub: re above, I don't think the uid of the oem user really makes a significant difference
[01:15] <jdub> Kamion: so, i reckon making an oem user with a weird uid would work - if the dude setting it up adds users, they get to exist at 1000+ -> in fact, we could even skip user creation in first boot if uid 1000 exists
[01:15] <infinity> (But seriously, I'm just trying to understand what you intend to prevent.  People can delete things all manner of ways, if an OEM breaks their image due to stupidity, that's not our problem)
[01:15] <Kamion> we already skip it in that circumstance, but I still don't see how that makes the slightest difference
[01:15] <infinity> The OEM is meant to be another handholding buffer between us and the user, not someone's whose hand WE have to hold.
[01:15] <jdub> infinity: i intend to prevent any desktops running as root.
[01:15] <infinity> (In general)
[01:16] <Kamion> although, hmm, I guess it means OEMs can add a user at 1000 and then have the firstboot prompt skipped
[01:16] <infinity> Kamion : The only nice thing about using a weird uid is that they get 1000 for adduser.
[01:16] <Kamion> ok, I can see how that would work
[01:16] <jdub> Kamion: hrm; if the oem user is created as uid 1000, and i create another one, it's 1001 -> so you can never skip first boot user configuration because there's never a uid 1000 user
[01:16] <jdub> yes
[01:16] <Kamion> jdub: yeah, gotcha, belatedly :)
[01:16] <jdub> :-)
[01:17] <jdub> that'd be rad
[01:17] <jdub> i think that solves the server case
[01:17] <Kamion> ok, if I can make passwd.config do that somehow, I will
[01:17] <jdub> very neatly!
[01:17] <infinity> ... server?
[01:17] <jdub> sweet :-)
[01:17] <jdub> infinity: we were talking about a case above where you want to prime the machine with a bunch of users
[01:17] <hno73> Kamion, Riddell, mdz: did you guys get my email about space constraints on the live CD?
[01:17] <jdub> it's the kind of thing that would help when building departmental server images and stuff like that
[01:18] <hno73> Is 650MB a hard limit?
[01:18] <infinity> jdub : Yeah, but I'd also assume that an oem-config server setup would start with ubuntu's "server" install, so no GUI, no frills, and we can just drop you into a root shell.  The oem user there would be useless (as you'd just "sudo su -" out of the oem user's shell to configure it anyway)
[01:19] <hno73> If so, I have a new suggestion. But OOo2, FF and perhaps Gaim on the Ubuntu CD
[01:19] <Kamion> hno73: we've been discussing that a lot. I think moving past 650MB for the Ubuntu live CD will get me a lot more bug reports; I already get a *LOT* due to bad media
[01:19] <Kamion> hno73: but it's not hard, just the subject of debate
[01:19] <hno73> and all sorts of other cool winfoss on the Kubuntu one
[01:20] <Kamion> hno73: frankly, I'd much rather use extra space on the Ubuntu live CD for language packs
[01:20] <infinity> Where does one find either a burner or a CD blank limited to 650MB anymore?
[01:20] <jdub> infinity: well, that's a different issue to the multiple user problem we were figuiring out :)
[01:20] <Kamion> hno73: our live CD is English-only right now, due to space constraints. This sucks.
[01:20] <hno73> Kamion: I agree
[01:20] <jdub> Kamion: i'm excited. :-)
[01:20] <Kamion> infinity: pretty sure I've seen them for sale in the UK
[01:20] <hno73> How much space could you sensibly use?
[01:20] <Kamion> not that unrecently
[01:20] <infinity> Kamion : The UK is weird.
[01:20] <jdub> Kamion: which means i'm going to pimp it more. which is dangerous. ;-)
[01:20] <Kamion> hno73: arbitrary; probably ask pitti for numbers
[01:21] <Kamion> he's got some table somewhere of what they add up to
[01:21] <Kamion> *ideally*, I'd like to have the top dozen or so languages there
[01:21] <Kamion> but I suspect this is an unrealisable ideal
[01:21] <Kamion> jdub: as long as you try it first so that you know what you're pimping :-)
[01:21] <hno73> Kamion: So If we dump OOo2 and a few minor things, we can have the whole winfoss part down to 40-50mb
[01:22] <infinity> Could we produce two sets of ISOs, at 650 and 700?
[01:22] <jdub> Kamion: haha
[01:22] <Kamion> infinity: no thanks
[01:22] <infinity> (The pressed ones can be 700 with no real issues)
[01:22] <Nafallo> http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/langpacks/support-bysize.txt
[01:22] <Kamion> I have enough to test
[01:22] <infinity> Yeah, true that.
[01:23] <hno73> If we add OOo2 to the pressed version only, that shouldn't involve any testing
[01:24] <hno73> All ISOs would have the same language packs (quite a few)
[01:24] <Kamion> hno73: sorry, but I really have to refuse to have different pressed and burned images
[01:24] <infinity> We'd need to test the larger ISO to make sure OOo2 isn't borked.
[01:24] <hno73> The download version would be sans OOo2 and pressed with it
[01:24] <Kamion> it's just not an option for me
[01:24] <Kamion> we have 27 images for release at the moment
[01:25] <Kamion> no, 24, no Edubuntu live CD
[01:25] <hno73> Kamion: OK, I'm sure you have good reasons for that
[01:25] <hno73> right, ok
[01:25] <infinity> Time constraints, I'm with Kamion, though I think it sucks.
[01:25] <Kamion> and ultimately, *somebody* has to manually sanity-check every one before release
[01:25] <Kamion> even if it's only once ...
[01:25] <Nafallo> maybe we should skip winfoss on the *ubuntu-cds and point people to theopencd...
[01:26] <Kamion> if nobody else does it, that somebody ends up being me
[01:26] <hno73> Do the same language packs generally gt used for Ubuntu and Kubuntu?
[01:26] <Kamion> hno73: so, I'm kind of ambivalent about 650MB/no-OOo2 vs. 700MB/OOo2
[01:26] <Kamion> hno73: different selection
[01:27] <Kamion> hno73: I'm probably going to give into using 700MB CDs, but I think it's a shame to do that without improving our language support at the same time
[01:27] <hno73> Kamion: well, I can prepare both versions so we can decide close up to the wire if need be
[01:28] <Kamion> hno73: so, 130MB for the tarball with OOo2 uses up 30MB of the extra, which leaves 20MB; if we can get a sensible number of extra langs into that, I think that's worth it
[01:28] <Kamion> I'm not sure what the numbers for Kubuntu are at the moment; IIRC they're already oversized for 650MB
[01:28] <Kamion> so the tradeoffs may be different there
[01:28] <hno73> Kamion: cool, let me try to slim it down even a bit more
[01:29] <Kamion> from pitti's table, it looks like an extra 20MB should easily give us the top-dozen languages
[01:30] <HiddenWolf> Kamion, what will caving in give you? A year from now, we'll have added some more goodies, and this discussion will go about using dvd-images
[01:31] <Kamion> HiddenWolf: that's certainly the problem
[01:31] <Kamion> maybe then we go beat up sabdfl to remove the python modules from desktop ;-)
[01:31] <HiddenWolf> Kamion, if only we'd want to use mono/beagle and that auric applet that lives in gnome-cvs, that'd be your 20mb gone.
[01:32] <Kamion> but I'll fight my future battles when it's the future
[01:32] <Kamion> we might as well fill up the images we've got now
[01:32] <HiddenWolf> :)
[01:32] <Kamion> and look at the FirstAgainstTheWall spec at UBZ
[01:33] <Kamion> if we keep the install CD to 650MB, then it's not a showstopper if the live CD grows to 700MB
[01:33] <Kamion> and the install CD isn't under so much pressure
[01:34] <Kamion> anyway, it's Saturday, off to do weekend things
[01:34] <jdub> later Kamion

[04:13] <Chipzz> if I hit alt-f8, it shows the bootup messages
[04:13] <Chipzz> (hit alt-f8 when it still works)
[04:13] <mvo> Chipzz: what do you see on vt1-6? nothing at all? (alt-f1-6)
[04:14] <Chipzz> mvo: no reaction, nothing works
[04:14] <Chipzz> except cad
[04:15] <infinity> mvo : Who do I blame for usplash running on vc8?.. I can't find it in the changelog.
[04:15] <Chipzz> it actually *is* dumping me back to tty1, which is where I shut down gdm from
[04:15] <mvo> not login prompt anywhere? strange
[04:15] <mvo> infinity: uplash -c runs it in vt8. it's like this forever
[04:15] <infinity> Chipzz : Oh, that's more curious.
[04:15] <Chipzz> mvo: it shows half what was on the screen before - which is the login prompt
[04:15] <infinity> mvo : Oh.  Maybe I'm unobservant, then.
[04:15] <Chipzz> but it is not active
[04:16] <mvo> infinity: but it was broken by jbailey when he moved udevstart after usplash and /dev/tty8 wasn't created
[04:16] <Chipzz> ie no blinking cursor or anything
[04:16] <infinity> mvo : I assume us getting dumped back to vc8 is because gdm stores the last vc we were on when it runs?...
[04:16] <mvo> infinity: probably, yes
[04:16] <infinity> But Chipzz thing is more fun...
[04:16] <mvo> infinity: if you run without gdm, the usplash stop script takes care of chvt
[04:17] <Chipzz> btw, if I shutdown gdm from within x, and then start it again from the console, stopping it fmor the console works as expected
[04:17] <infinity> Chipzz : Typing gets you nothing?... "reset", "clear", etc?
[04:17] <Chipzz> s/fmor/from/
[04:17] <Chipzz> infinity: nothing at all
=== infinity wishes he could reproduce this.
[04:17] <mvo> Chipzz: if you run without usplash everything works fine I assume?
[04:17] <Chipzz> well, nothing that shows up on the screen anyway
[04:17] <Chipzz> mvo: yes, then everything works fine
[04:18] <infinity> Chipzz : Anything that doesn't show up on the screen?... ie, try "sudo reboot". :)
[04:18] <infinity> I want to know if the VC is dead, or just... invisible.
[04:18] <Chipzz> infinity: would access to the laptop help any?
[04:19] <infinity> Chipzz : Only if it was in my hands...
[04:19] <Chipzz> I can give you an account if you wish
[04:19] <infinity> Stuff like this is hard to "see" without seeing.
[04:20] <Chipzz> well I do have a desktop here that I can get online frmo at the same time
[04:20] <infinity> Hrm.
[04:20] <infinity> Well, an account may help.
[04:21] <infinity> Maybe I can hack at stuff remotely and have you test things.

[04:23] <Chipzz> infinity: hmmm I was messaging you in private, but you seem to have messages form unregistered users disabled
[04:23] <mvo> Chipzz: I wonder if that might be caused by the recent addition of the vesafb driver?
[04:24] <infinity> Doesn't freenode have that disabled, period?
[04:24] <infinity> mvo : I'm using vesafb with usplash.
[04:24] <azeem> you can opt-in
[04:24] <jdub> you can turn it back on again
[04:24] <Chipzz> I think the messages stuff was enabled by default
[04:24] <infinity> Ahh, how do I opt in?
[04:24] <Chipzz> mvo: not sure
[04:26] <mvo> Chipzz: you could disable it (for testing) in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/usplash ... (and then re-generate your initrd)
[04:26] <Chipzz> mvo: let me try that
[04:26] <mvo> infinity: maybe your vesa-bios behaves differently (i.e. better)
[04:27] <infinity> I dunno... Once the fb is actually loaded, it should either work or not work.
[04:27] <infinity> There's not a lot of grey area there.

[04:30] <Chipzz> ok, so entering a command when the console is in that state doesn't work either
[04:31] <Chipzz> (sudo reboot does not work)
[04:31] <mvo> Chipzz: I assume it does not work for your without vga= something?
[04:31] <infinity> Alright, so it's not invisible or black-on-black or anything, the VC is actually just plain not there.
[04:32] <Chipzz> it shows the first 13 lines of vc1
=== blueyed [n=daniel@iD4CC12A8.versanet.de]  has joined #ubuntu-devel
[04:32] <Chipzz> no cursor
[04:32] <mvo> Chipzz: in this case, forgot the vesa change
[04:32] <Chipzz> but I can ssh into it
[04:32] <mvo> if you have no keyboard ..
[04:32] <Chipzz> mvo: I made the vesa change, but have not actually rebooted with the new ramfs
[04:33] <Chipzz> mvo: I do, because ctrl-alt-delete reboots the laptop
[04:33] <Chipzz> or do I?
[04:33] <infinity> Chipzz : If you ssh in and "rmmod vesafb ; insmod vesafb", does that do anything interesting?
[04:33] <Chipzz> hmmm wait
[04:34] <infinity> s/insmod/modprobe/
[04:34] <Chipzz> If I press alt-f1
[04:34] <Chipzz> and then type sudo reboot
[04:34] <Chipzz> it does reboot
[04:34] <infinity> Ahh.
[04:34] <infinity> Right, you're being parked on vc8 when gdm exits, we established that.
[04:34] <infinity> And vc8 isn't active, so no keyboard input.
[04:34] <infinity> So, then you hit vc1, and you can type, but get no output?
[04:34] <infinity> FUN.
[04:34] <Chipzz> the screen shows (the upper half) tty1 when coming from X though, but I suspect it actually is on tty8
[04:35] <infinity> How do you know it's the upper half of tty1?
[04:35] <Chipzz> parked on vc8, but with the output of vc1
[04:35] <infinity> vc8 should have all the init script output junk on it.
[04:35] <Chipzz> because I was editing the file mentioned before on tty1, and it shows the remains of vim
[04:35] <infinity> Ahh. :)
[04:36] <infinity> Kay.  Even more curious.
[04:36] <infinity> Chipzz : Did you regen your initramfs yet?.. If not, don't.
[04:37] <Chipzz> I did
[04:37] <Chipzz> hmm curious
[04:37] <janimo> I have a dpatch situation
[04:37] <Chipzz> it doesn't show the last line completely
[04:37] <janimo> there's a debian/patches/00_patch
[04:37] <janimo> and I want to fix the same problem (conflicting patches differently)
[04:37] <infinity> Chipzz : Oh, wait.  Are you using vga16fb, or vesafb?
[04:38] <janimo> do I make a 01 which applies over 00
[04:38] <infinity> Chipzz : (do you have "vga=nnn" on the command line?)
[04:38] <janimo> or patch the debian patch itself?
[04:38] <Chipzz> it shows "Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by"
[04:38] <janimo> I assume 1 is cleaner but may need additional rules file hacking
[04:38] <infinity> janimo : Tailor the Debian patch, if you want to change it.
[04:38] <Chipzz> but the curly thing under the y is chopped off, so it looks like a u
[04:38] <infinity> janimo : If you want to change different things, add your own patch.

[04:40] <Chipzz> panel? you mean lcd?
[04:40] <Chipzz> lcd is 1280x800
[04:40] <mjg59> janimo: It's theoretically possible, but very unlikely
[04:41] <janimo> mjg59, ok
[04:41] <Chipzz> hmmm both vga16fb and vesafb are loaded

[04:55] <mjg59> mvo: Uh, adding vesafb support to usplash changed nothing. The only thing that happens now is that vesafb gets loaded before usplash instead of after it

[05:45] <jdub> your secret is safe with us
[05:46] <jsgotangco> jdub: hmm you need to send the article to an editor to post to fridge?
[05:47] <jdub> jsgotangco: atm yeah

[05:47] <jsgotangco> ahhh
[05:48] <Chipzz> other question... anyone with an alps touchpad working on ubuntu? I had the scrolling functionality working a while ago, but then it broke...
[05:48] <jsgotangco> Chipzz: mine's borked as well in a Tecra
[05:48] <Chipzz> (the reason I'm asking here is I have had it working with this config a while back, so something must have changed...)
[05:49] <Chipzz> hmmmm :/
[05:49] <hno73> jdub: I've emailed you output from that live CD; lo and /etc/hosts
[05:49] <hno73> seems lo is enabled
[05:51] <glick> hey is it possible in ubuntu to have a icon on your desktop that when you click on it it opens up a console ssh shell on a remoe machine without the need to put in your password and such?
[05:51] <Treenaks> glick: sure
[05:52] <glick> Treenaks, how?
[05:52] <mjr> yes, by using ssh-agent for authentication (should be started automatically, you need to ssh-add) and creating the appropriate shortcut
[05:52] <Treenaks> glick: just create a regular one, which asks for a password
[05:52] <Treenaks> glick: then look up how ssh-agent works :) it's started automatically, all you need is ssh-add and a key

[05:53] <Chipzz> ssh is outdated :P use rsh with kerberos enabled :P
[05:53] <Chipzz> ;)
[05:53] <Treenaks> Chipzz: does that encrypt everything?
[05:53] <Chipzz> no
[05:53] <Chipzz> but you do not have to enter a password ;)
[05:54] <jdub> the auth is secure, but what goes over the wire isn't
[05:54] <Chipzz> (and that remark was not intended seriously btw ;))
=== crispin [n=crispin@cpc1-cmbg8-4-0-cust246.cmbg.cable.ntl.com]  has left #ubuntu-devel [] 
[05:54] <Treenaks> Chipzz: defeats the purpose then, what if you ssh from that remote host#
[05:54] <Chipzz> Treenaks: no problem if your ssh is kerberos-enabled
[05:55] <Chipzz> well actually there is more than one side to enabling kerberos for ssh, but that's another story
=== Chipzz mumbles something about theoware :P
[05:57] <Chipzz> but if all you need is just secure authentication, kerberos is fine. makes sense for large file transfers over ftp for example
[05:59] <Treenaks> depends on the file and the network :)
[05:59] <Yagisan> so very true
[05:59] <Chipzz> say a movie for example
[05:59] <Chipzz> I couldn't care less if anyone noticed I was pulling over a 700MB movie :P
[06:00] <Chipzz> well maybe under some circumstances I would, but then :P
[06:01] <Chipzz> anyway scp/sftp make less sense there (cpu overhead for encryption), and ftp (without telnet) makes less sense too (password sniffable)
[06:01] <Yagisan> I'd rather ssh anyway (with my thin pipes I want compression enabled)
[06:01] <Yagisan> if you use blowfish - it's not much cpu overhead
=== cassidy [n=cassidy@217.207-136-217.adsl.skynet.be]  has joined #ubuntu-devel
[06:02] <Yagisan> my vpn endpoints are sub 300Mhz - they use blowfish and sit idle most of the time with full traffic load
[06:03] <Yagisan> but that is over 1500/256 adsl
[06:03] <Chipzz> it will still slow down the transfer
[06:04] <Treenaks> Chipzz: that's why my CPUs have VIA Padlock (i.e. on-die AES :))
[06:04] <Chipzz> I doubt you can use (not even close to) 100% capacity of a 100MB network
[06:04] <jsgotangco> night all
[06:04] <Yagisan> depends on the pipe - with my pipes we benchmarked it. the bottleneck is the pipe
[06:04] <Treenaks> Chipzz: padlock scales up to several gigabits afaik
[06:04] <Chipzz> well not 100% anyway, collisions and stuff
[06:04] <Yagisan> night jsgotangco
[06:05] <Chipzz> but then ssh has to be compiled iwth support for it
[06:05] <Treenaks> Chipzz: only openssl

[06:20] <eruin> hey, usplash worked fine on a fresh install of colony 5, but is now nowhere to be seen. should I submit a bug about this or is it intentional?
[06:21] <infinity> eruin : Do you see any error messages when you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`"?
[06:22] <eruin> apart from a message about no splash image found, no
[06:23] <infinity> No cpio error, or such?
[06:23] <eruin> nope. I think it stopped working on a kernel upgrade
[06:24] <eruin> oh, wait
[06:24] <eruin> Yeah, I see a cpio error. can't find /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so
[06:24] <infinity> Right.  I'll uplod a fix for that right now, it seems to have been more widespread than we thought.
[06:25] <eruin> sorry, I'm oblivious when it comes to non-english error messages ;-)
[06:25] <infinity> You can wait for that, or fix it with "sudo update-alternatives --auto usplash-artwork.so && sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`"

[09:34] <sebest> how does ubuntu support software wlan switch?
[09:34] <ivoks> sebest: on what model? :/
[09:34] <ivoks> there are hardware switches and software switches
[09:34] <sebest> fujitsu siemens amilo M 7400
[09:34] <sebest> i use the module fsam7400
[09:35] <sebest> i must echo 1 > /proc/driver/wireless/radio
[09:35] <ivoks> and that works?
[09:35] <sebest> i wrote a simple script to handle this
[09:35] <sebest> ivoks: yes
[09:35] <ivoks> sebest: you have switch button on keyboard?
[09:36] <sebest> yes
[09:36] <sebest> but i can't bind it to my script with gnome
[09:36] <ivoks> hm...
[09:37] <Seveas> sebest, can you bind the key to another command?
[09:37] <sebest> Seveas: i don't know how to do this from gnome
[09:37] <Seveas> deep inside gconf-editor you can set manual keybindings to whatever you want
[09:37] <sebest> Seveas really??
[09:37] <Seveas> sebest, system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts
[09:38] <sebest> ivoks: how does ubuntu handle the other models using software switch?
[09:38] <Seveas> if the key works there for a random action, you can (ab)use gconf-editor to make it launch your script 
[09:38] <ivoks> that gnome keys bind is broken anyway
[09:38] <ivoks> sebest: join #ubuntu-laptop
[09:39] <sebest> Seveas: thx i'll try this
[09:40] <ivoks> sebest: that key. shourtcats doesn't work for my windows key :)
[09:40] <ivoks> grgrgrg.... s/sebest/Seveas :)
[09:40] <Seveas> lol
[09:40] <Seveas> then your win key may be mapped to meta oslt
[09:41] <ivoks> meta4+x works
[09:41] <ivoks> but meta4+f doesn't
[09:41] <Seveas> ah, that
[09:41] <Seveas> happens to me if I use alt/ctrl too

[09:47] <ivoks> hi jdub 
[09:49] <jmg> is there a sane reason why Xv is not enabled by default?
[09:49] <mjg59> jmg: Given that Xv is enabled by default here, I doubt it
[09:49] <ivoks> here too
[09:49] <mjg59> jmg: But if you give more details, it may be possible to work out why
[09:50] <jmg> mjg59: so xserver-xorg set option VideoOverlay on in your xorg.conf?
[09:50] <jmg> because its not on on my last 2 breezy installs.. radeon 9200 and i915
[09:51] <mjg59> jmg: No, because it's not a valid configuration option in the i810 driver
[09:51] <mjg59> Or, indeed, in the radeon driver
[09:51] <jmg> mjg59: huh?
=== enrico [n=enrico@debian/developer/enrico]  has joined #ubuntu-devel
[09:51] <mjg59> VideoOverlay is a fglrx-specific option

[09:52] <jmg> mjg59: electricsheep reported "No xv aperture found" until i set that option
[09:52] <mjg59> jmg: Yes. I have that in my logs.
[09:53] <mjg59> jmg: The string "VideoOverlay" does not appear in the i810 driver

[10:14] <\sh> jmg: well...dh_make is templating nothing else...providing you with a default template :(

[10:30] <jmg> ajmitch: assuming my last upload was up to scratch or is there an Even Better Way(tm)
[10:30] <thesaltydog> jmg it provides you with a full template of stuff. Sometimes it is easier to copy your debian dir from a similar package you have just packaged.
[10:32] <jmg> thesaltydog: i agree
[10:32] <ajmitch> jmg: alright
[10:32] <jmg> thesaltydog: or use cdbs... thanks to harrytuttle for pointing that out

[10:35] <ajmitch> so far you've just got a patch for 2742 in?
[10:35] <jmg> ajmitch: figure i may as well make release as best as i can by making sure it also do everything i need for work
[10:35] <ajmitch> are #331 & 332 fixed?
[10:35] <jmg> do/does
[10:35] <jmg> i dont use kdevelop anymore :) but i will check and see if they can be closed
[10:35] <ajmitch> ok
[10:35] <jdub> jmg: got my servers running breezy since before preview ;-) very helpful
[10:36] <ajmitch> jmg: latest kvpnc patch is looking better, dpatch might be nice though

[10:39] <jmg> jdub: xen on debian is a clusterfrell right now because 2.6.11 is locked out and xen-2.0.7 depends on kernel 2.6.11
[10:39] <jdub> fun :|
[10:39] <jmg> tell me about it
[10:39] <jmg> so my asterisk box wound up running on naked hardware
[10:40] <jdub> haha
[10:40] <jdub> in xen land
[10:40] <jdub> that is terrible!
[10:40] <jmg> which is dissapointing
[10:41] <jmg> jdub: just means i will have to convert once we can unfrell the situation... looks to be release of xen 2.0.8 and checkin of kernel-source-2.6.12
[10:42] <jmg> will fix the issue
[10:43] <jmg> in the mean time im flying on very unofficial kernel-source-2.6.11 i cooked up myself
[10:43] <jmg> but i havent made a kernel-patch so nothing can reverse so stuff like module-assistant wont work (which i need for misdn to do my * box the debian way)
[10:44] <jmg> actually i lie... i made a kernel-patch... but nothing applies to it :)
[10:44] <jmg> is mirror.clarkson.edu open for anyone?
=== jmg decides a coral: protocol for konqueror would be very useful right now
[10:48] <jmg> hmm may not be so easy
[10:50] <jmg> how to configure so coral:http://www.google.com/linux becomes http://www.google.com.nyud.net:8090/linux
[10:53] <Kamion> gouchi: yes, I made cdebconf show stars in password prompts ages ago
[10:53] <harrytuttle> does coral works with something different than http?
[10:54] <gouchi> Kamion : cool 
[10:54] <gouchi> Kamion : on Breezy so ?
[10:54] <Kamion> yes, cdebconf 0.78, end of May
[10:55] <gouchi> ok ;-)
[10:56] <jmg> harrytuttle: no it is http... the rule is just append .nyud.net:8090 to your request
[10:56] <jmg> harrytuttle: but i dont know if konq web shortcuts can do that
[10:57] <harrytuttle> coral://www.google.com/linux looks better
