Preserving dpkg behaviour is consistnat, at least. [01:17] Keybuk: Like, I already create ~/Programming/packaging/package [01:17] and work in there. [01:17] jbailey: yeah, but I was kinda hoping that "package" would _be_ the hct project directoy [01:18] I wind up doing the some for ~/Programming/{cvs,bzr,svn}tree [01:18] /package [01:18] So it would itself create subdirectories underneath for everything?

[01:45] the trouble with that is you need to make a pmount-0.9.4 directory for dpkg which conflicts with the one in the project [01:47] (maybe renaming that is the problem, as it's not clear what it is anyway) === bigcx2 [n=bigcx2@jpi-stillwatr-233-242.dmisinetworks.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === stub [n=stub@203-214-4-72.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:51] Keybuk: I mean wherever the build command is run [01:52] if a command line tool must output something by default to someplace other than stdout, it should end up in cwd [01:52] least surprising [01:52] but what do you do where that conflicts with stuff in the working directory? [01:52] if you have a .dsc or .changes in there already, they should be overwritten [01:53] is the name-ver directory I'm having problems with :-/ [01:53] Breezy really feels complete and works great guys. Thanks. [01:58] mdz: though you know, I think you're right -- it should just output the diff.gz/orig.tar.gz/dsc/changes in the working directory [01:59] that's the right way to do it [02:00] then if the user wants to unpack the source, they can worry about not overwriting things === chiddy [n=chiddy@68-233-126-229.stcgpa.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@cpe-69-205-47-165.nycap.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === thoreauputic [n=prospero@wolax8-150.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel === zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c2-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === marcin_ant [n=user@www.e-dev.tele2.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:37] evening === doko_ [n=doko@dslb-084-059-067-196.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === wickedpuppy [n=wickedpu@cm25.epsilon165.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Amaranth [i=travis@unaffiliated/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-devel === feeha1 [n=sfeehan@pool-64-222-103-115.burl.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === magnon [n=co@photogeeks/magnon] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:58] congrats on release, everyone!

[08:52] the website claims ppc versions with download links [08:52] But pitti runs a ppc desktop, maybe he can tell you wtf is up. :) [08:53] pitti: I've got some problems :( try running this with latest breezy: /usr/bin/gksudo --message "Please enter your password to run:\n /usr/bin/update-manager" /usr/bin/update-manager [08:53] mxpxpod: is it gksudo or update-manager that has the problem [08:53] mxpxpod: on ppc? [08:53] Keybuk: gksudo [08:53] pitti: yeah [08:53] Keybuk: because it runs fine if you do gksudo /usr/bin/update-manager [08:53] Keybuk : Curious. We should get that into dapper. [08:54] ==21948== Address 0x1C1E4B84 is 0 bytes after a block of size 4 alloc'd [08:54] Keybuk: valgrind "works" on ppc, but with no suppression files, it's kinda useless because it'll just pop up errors all the time [08:54] ==21948== by 0x804A506: (within /usr/bin/gksu) [08:54] mxpxpod: works [08:54] ==21948== Invalid write of size 4 [08:54] pitti: dammit!

[09:00] mxpxpod: do you get other crashes which could point to corrupted RAM? [09:00] pitti: yessir... updated today [09:00] pitti: one in monodevelop that looks similar [09:00] pitti: but that's it [09:00] mxpxpod: I installed from scratch, could be worthwile to check if a hoary->breezy update exhibits this [09:00] hmm [09:01] I was considering (earlier) doing a fresh install tomorrow [09:01] it's just frustrating... I reinstalled all the packages that gksudo depends on [09:02] thinking that somehow they might have been corrupt... but to no avail [09:02] mxpxpod: you migh build a debugging version and gdb it [09:02] pitti: of gksudo? === faux [n=christia@dynamic-46-222.chl.chalmers.se] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:02] pitti: did it... no dice [09:02] mxpxpod: depends on whether gksudo or u-m crashes [09:03] mxpxpod: does the crash happen if you execute other programs with gksudo? [09:03] wait a minute... [09:04] hey hey... this very well might be an update-manager issue... === mxpxpod slaps himself [09:05] ok, this is really strange [09:05] if I do: /usr/bin/gksudo --message "Please enter your password to run:\n /usr/bin/update-manager" update-manager, it doesn't crash [09:06] but with the absolute path, it crashes [09:10] that's really weird [09:10] do you have more than one update-manager in your path? [09:10] I tried with an absolute path [09:10] I used exactly your command [09:10] mxpxpod: "which update-manager" [09:11] which update-manager [09:11] whoops [09:11] /usr/bin/update-manager [09:11] ok, fine === thesaltydog [n=yoshi@host194-61.pool8023.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:12] Kamion: is there an rsync server for the edubuntu release cd?

[09:19] infinity: no [09:19] More than 10TB of breezy from over here since release. [09:20] whats that, 16,000 copies of a cd?

[11:22] siretart: no, sorry [11:22] the build time was too long [11:22] ah. okay [11:23] :((( [11:23] Kamion: do the dvd images contain all of main? [11:23] siretart: all of supported, which is a (large) subset of main [11:23] Kamion, maybe it would be wise to build DVD jigdo files at least for final Breezy release ? [11:23] oh [11:23] mantas: maybe I'd already thought of that ;-) [11:23] :) [11:24] it's not trivial to build them after the fact, but I'll see what I can do [11:24] lots of people have release candidate DVD's, so it's waste of download time and bandwith to download whole DVD again [11:24] they can either use rsync, or just upgrade rather than reinstall [11:24] mantas: rsync would do fine in that case [11:25] Kamion, I'm not talking about upgrading installed system, I'm talking about upgrading of DVD images ;) [11:26] fabbione, really ? [11:26] mantas: yes.. rsync the new DVD on top of the old image [11:27] rsync will not download whole 2,5 GB if I have release candidate dvd ? [11:27] no [11:28] fabbione brought up a good point [11:28] jigdo for our DVDs would be of somewhat limited usefulness [11:28] because there are very large pieces of the DVD images that aren't in the archive, namely the live CD image and the WinFOSS stuff [11:28] so the .template file would be *huge* === tvo [n=tobi@5354EA9B.cable.casema.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:29] ha [11:29] thats unfortunate :) [11:30] as in, the template file would be roughly CD-sized [11:30] hm. what about a dvd jigdo image, with 'just' all of ubuntu/main and nothing else (no winfoss, no livecd)? === siretart makes a note on the list.. [11:30] siretart: it wouldn't work [11:30] oh, you mean a separate build [11:30] yepp [11:30] Kamion, You can publish WINFOSS stuff at download server, then .template will be no big. Btw, maybe it would be wise to add info about rsync to README files at ftp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/dvd/ ? [11:30] not for breezy, and unlikely in general; we have *far too many* builds [11:30] Kamion: ah, you can't tell jigdo to scan the live CDs? [11:31] mantas: I'm not doing that kind of jigdo messing around for breezy. [11:31] I refuse. I've had enough of breezy :) [11:31] are there really that many people downloading dvds? [11:31] pitti: the live CD is not comprised of .debs [11:31] Kamion: it would be nice to jigdo against the old DVD, the current CD, and the current live CD [11:31] ;) [11:31] pitti: not AFAIK [11:31] Kamion: for official, I understand and accept, but I don't see technical reasons for not doing this in private, are they? [11:31] is it?! :P [11:31] Robot101: jigdo does not need .debs, AFAIK; I'm talking about the big .cloop image [11:31] mantas: we don't publicise rsync very heavily because the server gets easily overloaded [11:31] siretart: I am overloaded [11:32] Kamion: it's just a nice-to-have, but if it is nontrivial, let's just forget about it [11:32] especially before release - and cdimage is too [11:32] pitti: is that file in the archive though? [11:32] pitti: it's non-trivial [11:32] Kamion(int), Kamion(char*) *and* Kamion(float) [11:32] Kamion: I don't want to overload you. sorry [11:32] Kinnison++ === Kinnison tickles Kamion [11:32] siretart: and we don't have "private" CD images :) [11:33] maybe one day Launchpad will do CD building and you'll all be able to build whatever weird stuff you want :) [11:33] but for now, it all comes out of my time [11:33] so we do one of each type of image and that's all [11:33] Kamion, OK, I understand, thanks for info about rsync [11:34] which is good for testing anyway - it avoids dividing efforts [11:34] Kamion: I was thinking of doing it myself for my private fun. not overloading you ;) === silbs [n=jane@217.205.109.249] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:34] mantas: people often seem to guess rsync cdimage.ubuntu.com:: anyway [11:34] siretart: you're welcome to :) [11:34] :) [11:35] it would be fairly trivial to turn off the switches in cdimage that control that === MasterC [n=chans@dslb-084-060-204-056.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:36] ; [11:38] <\sh> mvo: pingeling [11:39] \sh: pongelong [11:39] <\sh> mvo: please do a speed check [11:39] \sh: with pleasure [11:40] i have colour in my bash and i can't see a performance difference at all.

[12:36] pitti, will attach [12:36] jmibanez: I can sort of reproduce it here with trying to mount the CD-ROM storage device [12:36] jmibanez: but with CD-ROMs it works since the media that is inserted generates a hal event and eventually gets its own volume === robtaylor [n=rob@nat5.sesnet.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel === msturm [n=msturm@t-20-214.athome.tue.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:47] pitti, do you want me to attach a diff of the stanza in lshal for the floppy?

[12:50] pitti, yes === moyogo [n=moyogo@78pc104.ucu-vb.uu.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:51] pitti, i noticed however that linux.sysfs_path and sysfs_path_device point to two different places [12:51] jmibanez: hmm; please attach the stuff, I'll look at it [12:51] pitti, will do [12:52] jmibanez: thanks for your help! === msturm [n=msturm@t-20-214.athome.tue.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:53] there, cdimage should support dapper now [12:54] pitti, no prob [12:54] pitti, btw, what else can i do to help trace this? (i'm also a programmer fwiw) === enrico_ [n=enrico@debian/developer/enrico] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:55] jmibanez: if you want to, you can look at the pmount-hal.c code and look what it uses to decide whether it's mountable (the code is trivial) === enrico_ is now known as enrico === Gman_ is now known as GmanZZZ [12:56] jmibanez: ah - " volume = libhal_volume_from_udi( hal_ctx, udi );" [12:56] jmibanez: it seems that this really only catches volumes [12:56] pitti, you'll have to excuse me... how'd i get the code? [12:56] jmibanez: never mind, I know what's necessary [12:56] pitti, ok :) [12:56] jmibanez: apt-get source pmount [12:56] pitti, oh yeah === jmibanez slaps forehead [12:56] jmibanez: or look into the bzr branch [12:57] jmibanez: bzr branch http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/bzr/pmount/ [12:57] pitti, no bzr on this machine (am helping out setup a netcafe) [12:57] jmibanez: it seems that if the UDI is not a volume, p-hal should check if it is a storage device [12:59] jmibanez: storage.no_partitions_hint = true (bool) [12:59] jmibanez: that's the thing to check [12:59] jmibanez: if the UDI is a storage device with this property, it should be accepted as well === HiddenWolf [n=HiddenWo@136.144.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:03] pitti, hmm... from looking at it, that moves the problem to libhal-storage? [01:03] pitti, pmount-hal doesn't seem like it's the problem [01:03] jmibanez: no, it's just pmount-hal not checking for this case [01:04] jmibanez: well, the real problem is that floppies are not hotpluggable [01:04] pitti, ah, true [01:04] jmibanez: if they were, hal would pick it up and create a volume node for it [01:04] jmibanez: but with floppies, you can more or less just try to mount and check if it worked [01:04] jmibanez: I added a followup [01:06] pitti, thanks. (this is why F/OSS is so great :)) ) [01:06] jmibanez: that's why I love it, too :-) [01:06] jmibanez: I'll release pmount 0.9.6 to debian soon, and as soon as dapper opens, I'll sync it there === lazyb0y [n=henning@u2-214.dsl.vianetworks.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:07] anyway, am off [01:08] pitti, when will breezy update with pmount 0.9.6, if ever? (just curious) [01:08] jmibanez: never [01:08] jmibanez: breezy is closed [01:08] jmibanez: and it's not a critical bug === Yagisan [n=jamie@60-240-16-210-nsw-pppoe.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:08] Hey Yagisan [01:08] pitti: waiting on dapper ? :) [01:09] G'day pitti [01:09] seb128: lots of new crack is waiting :-) [01:09] he he [01:09] seb128: but for now I have some time to catch up with security [01:09] pitti, ah... would it be ok if i try backporting it to breezy? my friend who i'm helping with needs floppy access via GNOME [01:09] seb128: if you happen to be bored, just ask, I have some work :-) [01:09] jmibanez: yes, breezy-backports should be fine [01:09] jmibanez: right, I forgot about that [01:09] pitti: no thanks, I've some bug triage to do :) [01:10] great :) [01:10] jmibanez: unlike breezy->hoary, dapper->breezy backports for pmount stuff should be fine [01:10] seb128: me too, actually :-/ [01:10] anyhoo... off to meet my SO. thanks for the help pitti [01:10] pitti - only out one day and already I see a security update released for breezy [01:11] Yagisan: there will be more today [01:12] pitti - nothing that requires a reboot I hope [01:12] Yagisan: no === ssam [n=ssam@88-104-128-1.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === thoreauputic_ [n=prospero@wolax8-234.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel === psichron [n=psichron@nomad.eendrag.sun.ac.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel === kikidonk [n=kikidonk@ip-83-134-5-167.dsl.scarlet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:30] pitti : Argh.

[01:33] infinity: the breezy packages are alreadfy there [01:33] pitti : Check, but I think hoary is the only one that shipped the crazy multiple-curl-in-one-source thing. [01:33] wary may have as well. [01:33] warty, too. [01:33] I think breezy is fine. [01:33] ok, I check, thanks [01:33] maybe some day I'll take a cartload of CD-Rs down to the DC and burn archival copies of all the old releases rather than keeping them around in little:/home/cjwatson/ [01:34] what part in the installer writes /etc/network/interfaces? [01:35] siretart: netcfg [01:35] okay [01:35] I try to debug why my preseeded installation lacks the 'auto eth0' stanza [01:36] we don't add auto eth0 if the interface is hotpluggable [01:36] huh? this is a test installation in vmware [01:37] instead we add mapping hotplug, script grep, and a map line for the interface [01:37] so that the interface is brought up when it appears [01:37] then a 'auto hotplug' stanza should be somewhere, right? [01:40] no [01:40] mapping hotplug, not auto [01:41] Znarl: would you mind doing a couple of loop-mounts on little for me? [01:41] Kamion: i'll try to mirror cdimage/releases, it is likely to take a long time though. [01:42] Kamion : As long as you don't mind creating an RT request? [01:42] ok, but it's only temporary [01:42] like, for ten minutes while I copy the stuff out :) [01:42] maswan: ok, no rush for that [01:42] Kamion : Oh, ok. Message me what you'd like done. [01:43] Kamion: Indeed, I'm getting a whopping 35k/s now. ;) [01:47] GOOD MORNING FREEDOM LOVERS! [01:48] hey jdub [01:48] how are you today? :) [01:48] pretty hammered [01:48] jetlag catching up with me [01:49] not dodging timezones quickly enough :-) [01:49] maswan, it was 20kbs earlier [01:49] Znarl: how about we take us.releases until sbrath manages to find a non-crasching router or similar? ;) === maswan wants faster sync rates ;) [01:49] jdub: luckily the Amsterdam<->London timezone difference is manageable ;) [01:49] maswan : Sounds good. [01:49] <\sh> well..this is boring...no traffic on -changes anymore...someone has to do something ;) [01:50] yes, let's create dapper :) [01:51] Oh, just let us have a long weekend, will you? :) [01:51] infinity: well, for this once then [01:51] \sh, nothing stops you from hacking up the next wonder of the known world. :) [01:52] jdub, morning? :p [01:53] <\sh> HiddenWolf: I was thinking about Wubuntu...Ubuntu with Windowmaker, or gnusbuntu...ubuntu running emacs os...help would be fine ,-) [01:53] seb128: how does ubuntu handle the addition of newly created users to the "desirable" system groups like audio, plugdev, etc? [01:53] shouldn't be even better to have all CC.archive.ubuntu.com not go to the DC? ;-) [01:53] \sh, you'll get more fame starting blingbuntu, and pimp up E17. :) [01:54] \sh: wubuntu -> ubuntu with the win32 kernel? [01:54] HiddenWolf: no, that'd be eubuntu [01:54] seb128: do you patch system-tools-backends? [01:54] jordi: with g-s-t? it's patched for that, why? [01:54] seb128: we're discussing this for lliurex. [01:56] Treenaks, it's marketing, people who use E17 want bling, so they get bling. :) [01:56] HiddenWolf: UBlingtu?

[02:02] HiddenWolf: dude... usplash? :-) [02:02] Nafallo, don't get me started. === Nafallo got _disturbing_ usplash images in his head now :-P [02:03] whats wrong ? [02:03] I had a dream about usplash [02:03] mjg59, go on vacation. :) [02:04] mjg59: oh? did you fix bugs, woke up and forgot what you did in your dream? :-) [02:04] It had gained animation support [02:04] lol [02:04] mjg59, disturbing. [02:05] Yes [02:05] mjg59, why not hack it up to display random sequences of your avi collection? :P [02:06] I rather have interactivity in it ;-) === eruin [n=eruin@unaffiliated/eruin] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:07] for typing in passwords and such things :-) === Kamion tries out libarchive, which apparently can extract ISO9660 without needing to mess around with loopback mounts [02:12] Kamion: you can just open images with nautilus (archive-manager) [02:12] Kamion: oh, on a remote server? (little?) [02:13] pitti: ooh, we should write that pmount spec [02:13] jdub: right === jdub wants to make gnome-vfs pointless for smb and stuff like that for dapper [02:14] pointless? [02:14] pitti: yes, remote [02:14] Wow. Flight prices to Australasia around LCA are stupid. === olemke [n=olemke@iup.physik.uni-bremen.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:14] Kamion: I only see libarchive-{tar,zip}-perl, is there something similar for isos? [02:15] jdub: like, pmounting smb shares? [02:15] pitti: http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/ [02:15] we could as well do that with just readding the suid root bit to smbmount [02:16] Kamion: cool, thanks === stub [n=stub@203-214-4-72.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:18] Treenaks: yeah, and filesystem images (ext3, iso, etc) [02:18] pitti : Which we probably should do. [02:18] jdub: cool [02:18] pitti : I keep forgetting to have that argument until it's 3 days before release. [02:19] jdub: I was thinking about something like this yesterday.. more "cooperation" with other OSs, instead of just mostly ignoring them as we do now [02:20] jdub: isn't that excessively dangerous? [02:20] jdub: unless you had pmount scan for set-id bits in the filesystem first [02:21] Kamion: i have stupid ideas. pitti makes them sane and secure. [02:21] i like this system ;) [02:21] some things it's *good* that you can't do ;-) [02:21] loop-mounting ISOs is probably safe - I don't think there's a set-id equivalent there [02:21] Kamion: pmount mounts everything with nosuid,nodev [02:22] ah [02:22] ok, fair enough [02:22] Kamion: I was pretty paranoid about that :-) [02:22] in this case I got screwed on little anyway, 'cos elmo's custom kernel doesn't have iso9660 [02:22] so far I don't see a compelling reason why pmount shouldn't mount images; I just didn't implement it yet === jdub loves the p in pmount [02:22] Kamion: ha ha ha ha [02:23] jdub: like you love the p in pool ? [02:23] jdub: initially it meant "policy" [02:23] i love the p in lunch [02:23] pitti: that's the p i love - what does it mean now? [02:23] pittimount? :) [02:23] jdub: I never defined it actually [02:23] paranoidmount :-) [02:24] jdub: oh, I did - pmount(1) says "policy mount" [02:24] pimp-my-mount [02:24] pittimount [02:24] Kamion: i sent my release management thoughts to the list [02:25] pitti: btw, I think I had an error about charset being deprecated when mounting a vfat. :-) [02:25] jdub: interestingly enough, there is also a "libpmount" that was introduced into Debian about the same time that I started with pmount - but it has nothing to do with pmount :-) [02:25] pitti: heh, funny === mwright1 [n=matt@203-214-15-102.dyn.iinet.net.au] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [02:25] Nafallo: known, but I always ignore it - so what, I *want* UTF-8... [02:25] Kamion: You coming down to London today?

[02:29] pitti: oki. just noticed it on my logs, I'll see if I can find what caused the warning :-) === Kinnison waits for his write to the wiki to complete [02:29] it so slow [02:30] It's produced an ickle Google Map [02:30] yeah, google-local is a bit cruddy [02:30] jdub: what -uk lists? [02:30] jdub: I was asked by sabdfl not to parade it on debian-uk [02:30] jdub: and I'm not part of the loco or anything [02:31] oh [02:31] sabdfl: why was that? [02:32] jdub: we need to make more of an effort with the ubuntu community [02:33] past release parties have had very few ubuntu-specific people there [02:33] and have turned into mark-buys-debian-uk-beer-and-dinner [02:33] (very nice dinner) [02:34] pitti: fwiw, I can't reproduce what I just reported ;-) [02:34] sabdfl : Hrm, we need a mark-buys-debian-melbourne-beer-and-dinner release party.

[02:36] sabdfl, just come to the next edubuntu release party... then you can change to mark-buys-candy-for-edubuntu-kids [02:37] ogra: good thinking! brainwash them while they're young... ;) [02:37] lol [02:38] dredg, its rather "show them the bright side and let them decide themselves" ;) [02:38] syslog.0:Oct 12 21:10:52 localhost kernel: [14323.780752] NTFS-fs warning (device dm-2): parse_options(): Option iocharset is deprecated.

I think I saw it when I used my cryptostick ;-) [02:41] sabdfl, yeah, but you'd want one waiting on the other side with a blanket and tea, not an ubuntu-shirt and beer. :) [02:42] ah, i see what's wrong. i was using http://local/ which is not the same as http://local.google.com/ [02:43] tea, blanket, beer, floor === hyperactivecrond [n=chris@adsl-65-43-215-38.dsl.bcvloh.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:44] sabdfl, I prefer boats even then.

[02:45] hyperactivecrond, shame on you. ;) [02:46] i'm runnin in breezy prerelease, can i apt-get dist-upgrade? === ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089E78D.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:46] and go to straight breezy? [02:46] hyperactivecrond, yes, but the mirror is choked. :) [02:46] well, I still can't see a good reason everything CC.archive.ubuntu.com would go to archive.ubuntu.com? [02:46] everything doesn't [02:46] won't work [02:46] Nafallo, most of those xx.archive.u.c are redirects still. :( [02:47] but oh well... i'll try later [02:47] it's just there are only a few specific exceptions to the wildcard DNS [02:47] Kamion: right... everything except se, cz, fr and de ;-) [02:47] sure [02:47] *cough* and ie [02:47] Is us.archive back again, or is it still broken? [02:47] the installer relies on CC.archive.ubuntu.com existing though [02:47] (ie: still aimed at archive, cause the us mirror is unhappy) [02:47] infinity: still aimed at archive [02:47] Kamion: so make all of europe use se. per default? [02:47] Kamion: you get the idea... [02:48] Nafallo: by all means contact mirror maintainers in various countries and ask them to be local .archive.u.c? [02:48] Nafallo: talk to admin about that ... [02:48] All of europe, except uk, surely. :) === Kamion doesn't control DNS [02:48] but yeah, gb == archive please ;) [02:48] Or rather, start writing to ISP's [02:49] dredg: is that the problem we're discussing? :-) [02:49] dredg: or is that _everything_ falls back on archive... ;-) [02:49] Kamion: elmo? [02:50] I maintain the mirrors. [02:50] Nafallo: you can be a mirror without being cc.a.u.c [02:50] dredg: yes, and the installer defaults to a.u.c instead of the most local server :-) [02:50] Nafallo: no it doesn't, it defaults to CC.a.u.c [02:50] not in my experience [02:50] Znarl: follow the discussion? :-) [02:51] Nafallo: remember that anything that's CC.a.u.c gets masses of traffic without people even realising it [02:51] well I meant CC.a.u.c defaults to a.u.c [02:51] that's what I know. and that's why not every single unassigned CC should go to a.u.c [02:52] every single unassigned CC *must* go to a.u.c [02:52] why? [02:52] erm, what? [02:52] there should be fewer unassigned CCs, but there *must* be a sensible default [02:52] and ultimately, the buck stops with a.u.c [02:52] why can't everything unassigned in europa go to se.a.u.c? [02:52] that would be an assignment [02:52] it would no longer be unassigned [02:53] it's also rude to force people onto a mirror [02:53] unassigned + europe IP = se.u.c ? [02:53] mdke: do the ubuntu-docs guys have a launchpad team? [02:53] If the mirror is known-good, it's hardly "forcing" anything. [02:53] so why can't ever again change A records? [02:53] s/why/we/ [02:53] depends on the mirror admin, doesn't it? [02:53] Nafallo: of course we can [02:54] the whole reason we use CC.a.u.c is for future flexibility [02:54] dredg : Trust me on this one, maswan (the admin for se.archive) WANTS traffic. :) [02:55] we still needs a sensible default now... we can't just swamp the most up-to-date mirror for every developer? :-) [02:55] infinity: heanet WANT traffic too, but forcing someone to a mirror you're not responsible for is not a sane thing to do [02:55] and besides, ip -> location is unreliable at best [02:55] or atleast us motus that want to prepare stuff for dapper... [02:55] Nafallo : Yes, I'm following. [02:55] Nafallo: you're entirely free to pick the mirror of your choice. MOTUs surely to goodness have the wit to do that :) [02:55] dredg: we could ask mirroradmins? some of them are on this channel ;-) [02:56] Nafallo: which is what i already suggested === eruin [n=eruin@unaffiliated/eruin] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:56] CC.archive.ubuntu.com is for users far more than it's for developers [02:56] Kamion: well, developing with sync-delays sucks :-P [02:56] dredg: so that's why DNS changes are made with the consent of mirror admins [02:56] cf. Nafallo: by all means contact mirror maintainers in various countries and ask them to be local .archive.u.c?

[02:57] you've made your point, I think :) [02:57] Kamion: well, yeah. it's never good to wake up one morning and find you're suddenly serving half of europe because someone else decided it was a good idea [02:57] Kamion: sure. I just want to see this point make a change :-) [02:58] Nafallo: so contact some mirrors and ask them would they object to being cc.archive.ubuntu.com [02:58] A lot of mirrors contact us and request CC.archive pointed at them.

[03:00] dredg: ofcourse, but my point now is unassigned stuff shouldn't swamp the datacenter till we get those local mirrors :-/.

[03:01] this is getting boring real fast. [03:01] as said, I hope I made my point... [03:02] Znarl: do you have an estimate on how much of the DC traffic is isos vs packages? [03:02] maswan : No. [03:02] seb128, pitti: what is lp #2134 ? looks like crap ... [03:02] hmm.. "Need to get 812MB of archives.", upgrades aren't without bandwidth use either, I guess. :) [03:04] doko: it's the standard problem with people not having universe/security in sources.list [03:04] right [03:04] Which isn't a bug in the least. [03:05] doko: so when packages have an = ${Source-Version} dependency crossing the main/universe boundary and the source package gets a security update, the version in universe they're seeing is out of date [03:05] infinity: it *was* a bug in base-config, but I fixed it [03:05] Kamion: ohh, but they did have the packages installed before [03:05] Kamion : Ahh. [03:05] doko: right [03:05] however people who installed with warty and upgraded may still have the problem [03:05] Still, tell the user to fix his sources.list, and you're on your merry way. [03:05] there's not a lot we can do in general [03:05] doko: yes, from hoary, but not hoary-security [03:06] https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3599, fixed in base-config 2.58ubuntu5 [03:06] although since universe is disabled by default, people might still not remember to uncomment the security lines for universe when they uncomment the other lines for universe [03:06] again, not a lot we can do about that [03:08] Kamion: make a small bit about it in the upgrade notes? [03:08] Kamion: or perhaps that was already done in the hoary upgrade notes? [03:08] does people read those? :-) [03:09] "see the release notes for breezy" is better than "see bug #3599" when explaining [03:09] I think we did, although I don't remember [03:09] indeed [03:10] maybe we could some something like "you've downloaded the packagelist for universe, maybe you want to turn on universe security to?"

[04:12] one of my friends setup a backup system that was fairly simple i think [04:13] Diziet : That was worked on as a Summer of Code project, and I hope to coax my stdent into polishing up his submission for dapper. === mantiena [n=AKL@ctv-84-55-0-52.init.lt] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:13] Backup solutions under Linux tend to suck at the best of times. [04:13] yeah, hes using backuppc [04:13] (backuppc.sf.net) [04:14] Diziet : Try 'sbackup' and file a zillion bugs on it in the Debian BTS for things you find less than satisfactory. [04:14] Diziet : He's rather responsive. [04:14] backuppc> `BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up Linux and WinXX PCs and laptops to a server's disk' so not what individual users probably need then. [04:14] yeah, sounds like overkill [04:14] still [04:15] jbailey: That's just crackful \sh :-) [04:15] Mmm. crack [04:15] "No client-side software is needed." [04:15] thats nice [04:15] No, not overkill, inapplicable. What's a user to do if they have one home PC and no server to back up to ? [04:15] it can backup the local machine, too.

Tape drive, central backup server, tapes, scripts to glue it all together, etc. [04:19] Aww, how cute. I've just seen the icon Nautilus gives to corefiles. Shiny bombs. [04:19] They are, of course, corefiles from Nautilus. [04:19] mjg59 : Dude, it lists a glxgears score. [04:20] mjg59 : Also, that's basically identical to the hardware I'm using that refuses to suspend-to-disk. :/ [04:20] Well, other than that [04:20] mjg59 : I need to reinstall and see if it's something really wonky going on here.

[04:23] sbackup> Hmm. If I'm not mistaken this program doesn't seem to be capable of doing what I would think of as a backup.

[04:25] The user might have removeable USB drives or even removeable IDE drives or some such. [04:25] Diziet : Currently, it allows you to slap it on anything gnome-vfs can get to (which includes removable media), and sftp/ssh/ftp. [04:26] Also, it's clearly not finished. [04:26] But yes, clearly not finished. Hence why I said "file a bunch of bugs" [04:26] `The backup is running in the background; its pid is 12345. [X] Close' [04:26] It's working. It's just not polished. === Sepheebear [n=SepheeBe@cpe-68-175-57-11.nyc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:26] The default filenames aren't 8.3 so it won't work with a FAT removeable. [04:27] And it should be like update-manager and prompt you to back up rather than hoping you'll do it. === infinity points Diziet at http://bugs.debian.org/src:sbackup [04:28] Your pedantry is exactly what's needed to get Aigars to polish this up to something shiny. [04:29] infinity: Thank you for your vote of confidence. I'm looking at the bug reports now. [04:30] So should I file my bugs in the Debian BTS despite the fact that all of my tests etc. are on Ubuntu ? [04:30] Just to check, so I don't tread on anyone's toes. === carstenh [n=carstenh@mkfw.fh-trier.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:33] Diziet : Well, if they get filed in Ubuntu, we'll just have to forward them upstream anyway, so just send them there to start with. :) [04:34] Diziet: It really depends on the maintainer. [04:34] Diziet : Besides, the upstream maintainer is an Ubuntu user, so he won't mind in the least. [04:34] jbailey: Yes, I know, that's why I'm asking in this specific case. [04:34] infinity: Right, thanks. [04:34] (He wrote this as a participant in Google's Summer of Code under Ubuntu's guidance) [04:35] I just wanted to double-check because there seems to be plenty of room for misunderstanding. [04:35] And errors in these kinds of areas tend to cause offence. [04:35] For future reference, anything I maintain in Ubuntu/Debian, I prefer the bug reports in the Debian BTS, unless it's Ubuntu-specific. [04:35] he could be added as a default-qa-contact in bugzilla [04:35] Diziet : Here's his spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SimpleBackupSolution [04:35] infinity: Ta.

[04:38] Python seems an appropriate hammer for this nail anyway, though he needs to profile his code something fierce. [04:39] infinity: You need to write something that impots your Bugzilla bugs into the BTS ;) [04:41] Yeah... I'll call it.. An MUA. [04:41] It'll revolutionise the software world. [04:43] Every time I hit "reply" on a bugzilla email and start typing, I scream 5 seconds later when I remember I can't do that. [04:43] Which leads me to wondering if bradb has finished writing a debbugs-like mail interface for Malone. [04:43] I believe we had that on our feature list for main adoption. :) [04:44] (originally... I'm sure it got scrapped as a "nice-to-have, 2.0 feature" later) === Kamion rediscovers comm(1), and wonders if he'll ever remember how its command-line options work without looking them up every time. === infinity uses comm(1) all the time.

[05:54] sivang: I second that [05:55] zyga: I just thinkg mvo's language-selector couldn't be more suitable to catch a ride on, and I get these demand from my LoCo community memebrs all the time :) [05:57] sivang: probably, yes. the suggestion came a bit too late for breezy but it's worth considering for dapper. patches are welcome of course :) [05:58] sivang, mvo: maybe a less textual interface (after all - you are running this to get the right language in the first place) would be better too [05:58] like flags or world map with several zoom levels (like the timezone applet) [05:58] but flags are kind of messy when it comes to places like taiwan or tibet :/ [05:59] flags and world maps are dangerous [05:59] developers have been imprisoned for that [05:59] Kamion: yes :/ [05:59] (seriously) [05:59] zyga: at UBU I suggested a map, but it was considered polictically problemeatic [05:59] mvo: how about a map without the boundaries? [05:59] maps without borders (only city locations) aren't too bad [05:59] you have to stay well clear of borders though [06:00] Kamion: maybe like this [06:00] you click on a place [06:00] and the GUI pops up 5 nearest capital cities [06:00] asking which one you associate with [06:00] that could work [06:00] is Taipei a capital city? [06:00] I'm not sure how important this is, since the user (or an OEM) already had to install the system to this point, and presumably in a language that the user understands a little bit. [06:01] infinity: how about auto starting this on first login [06:01] Kamion: well you can always put both capitals and non-capitals on the map [06:01] that would be easy and usefull [06:01] for languages, surely it's easier to just list the language name in its own language [06:01] Kamion : Exactly, as the installer already does. [06:01] No reason why the language selector can't too. [06:01] languages don't have a good correspondence to countries in many cases anyway [06:01] true, the installer does this already [06:03] did anyone think about something speciall to happen on first login anyway? [06:04] mvo : We can yank the English -> Native language mappings from d-i and use that with a nice UTF-8 font in Language Selector, surely? [06:04] (or maybe a few fonts, if we don't have one with all the right glyphs) [06:04] mvo: Just let a user choose a language, let politicians deal with maps :) But after he choose a lanugage, the selector installes the required lang pack or whatever, asks if he wants nationalized menus, and autoconfigures (maybe this can be done in prebuilt gnome kbd selectors packages per each language) [06:04] There must be one font with enough glyphs to support printing all the language NAMES, though, even if they're not generally useful fonts. :) [06:05] mvo: gnome kbd selector with some sane shift group behaviro [06:05] does anybody get the OSDL survey? I don't really get their intention.. [06:05] zyga : First login popups are dicussed every 2 days, when someone else decides there's something we MUST show new users, which is exactly why we don't have one. If we did, it would have 400 things in it, and be useless and annoying. [06:06] infinity: maybe an installer option for OEM stuff that allows to autorun a tutorial or guide [06:06] then 1) it's not mandatory 2) it's usefull [06:07] Allowing OEMs to force irritation on THEIR users is always an option, I suppose, but the Ubuntu default install will probabl never do it. [06:07] infinity: they should probably be limited to (1) register against the distro's supportive infrastructure (which takes care of identification) , (2) nationalization. [06:07] infinity: default install probably doesn't need it [06:07] infinity: if someone is installing ubuntu [s] he probably already knows enough [06:08] infinity: I except so, yes [06:08] s/except/expect/ === thesaltydog [n=fabio@host190-176.pool8257.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:09] it's just that I've seen already a couple of "nationalized" derivaties that all they do is exactly that, I am thinking to streamline this and standartize through a one-click to have Ubuntu localized to your favorite language. [06:10] I do like the idea of having it automagically configure keyboard stuff for you. Though we need a sane way to turn that behaviour off again, if it's not what you want. [06:10] sivang: the only problem I can see is how language-selector (runing as root) can do stuff in the users session. OTOH, I would like to do a proper split anyway so that only the backends runs as root ... [06:10] But this is pretty much what Windows does, and I do find it useful on my girlfriend's English+Japanese+French desktop. === MagnusR [n=magru@85.194.14.142] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:11] I also need to play with Japanese input in the next week, and make sure we have something sane working for dapper. It still seems a bit of a mess in breezy. [06:11] what if some language requires additional packages? [06:11] I'll never get my girlfriend to switch without getting that sort of thing more friendly. [06:11] like CJK, they likely will need input methods instead of just keyboard mappings [06:12] minghua : Then the l-s backend installs the packages, while the l-s frontend configures your session. That's the point of mvo splitting it. [06:12] mvo: ah , so it would be able to modify only root's gnome kbd settings and not those of the user ? [06:12] Yes, they'll want scim and such. === guilhermee [n=guilherm@20150065155.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:13] mvo : Looks like the split would be a Good Thing to do as soon as you find a round tuit. :) [06:13] infinity: if we can achieve that, it would be really nice [06:13] Agreed. [06:13] sivang: yes, that's the problem currently [06:13] minghua : Which CJK language(s) do you use? [06:13] infinity: Chinese (zh_CN) [06:13] minghua : I can use/test Japanese, but have no one to attempt any others. [06:13] minghua : Perfect. === minghua is the scim maintainer in debian :-) [06:14] infinity: I'm currently pondering how to do it cleanly [06:14] minghua : I'll try to remember your IRC nick when I start fiddling with input method automation. [06:14] minghua : Ahh, that'll make it easier to remember who you are. ;) [06:14] ls -alF [06:14] aehm... sorry for that... === martinhj [n=martinhj@238.80-202-208.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:14] mvo: I see, what's the backend written in / using ? python-apt ? [06:15] infinity: sure, I would be really happy to get involved in such a project [06:15] I can do the package selection/classification and testing part, but I don't know much about coding === trulux [n=lorenzo@unaffiliated/trulux] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:15] minghua : I've only played with CJK input methods once, about a month ago, and decided they were a terrible mess, and no one but a complete nerd/geek would ever be able to configure them. So, we definitely need to do something. :) [06:16] infinity: yeah, I'm afraid so. Using CJK in ubuntu is currently quite painful [06:16] jdub, if you're still around before going to GLlug, I'd love it if I could blog about the new italian website on planet, please add me! [06:16] minghua : Well, it's also something I'm reasonably passionate about fixing, so here's hoping I find some time in dapper. === zyga grabs some food, later === carlos [n=carlos@188.Red-81-41-208.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:17] infinity: Great. Now I'm working on getting scim stuff sorted out in Debian, once that is finished I'll take a more serious look in dapper development [06:18] infinity: maybe writing a summary about input methods and send to mailing list or something [06:18] minghua : Any input (pun possibly intended) you can provide on the topic will be helpful. [06:19] infinity: LOL [06:19] minghua : As I said, I can only really test Japanese, and I know that input methods of choice seem to vary wildly according to the target language, etc. [06:19] mvo: anyway, if you run a BOF I'm interested in providing all the help that I can give. (if I start a spec suggestion, I'll email you) [06:20] Oh by the way, as we are talking about fonts for displaying language names, d-i is having the same problem with their gtk frontend, and they use like 10 vector fonts: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/10/msg00381.html [06:20] sivang: thanks [06:21] mdke: i'll get elmo to update it [06:21] update from the baz branch [06:21] jdub, he says he can't do it [06:21] jdub, only you can! [06:21] infinity: yes, the root of the problem, is that there are many input methods even in a single language [06:21] i change the source [06:21] he updates the installation === spayne [n=spayne@i-195-137-120-148.freedom2surf.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:21] we're fixing this === cassidy [n=cassidy@f1-pc174.ulb.ac.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:21] jdub, ah awesome merci [06:22] infinity: so for each input methods there is likely going to be a separate program [06:22] minghua : Right, but unlike Debian, Ubuntu isn't as much about choice as it is about picking sane defaults, so we need to try to figure out what's the "best" for each language (where "best" means "doesn't segfault all the time", "easy interface", whatever) [06:23] infinity: no, that's not really possible, as one user may only know one input method of his/her language [06:23] Hrm. Well, we'll have to discuss and play a bit, I suspect. [06:23] infinity: there are programs that covers quite a few input methods, like scim and uim [06:24] Right. [06:24] Which is what we need. To pull everything under one roof, and try to give it a consistent interface. [06:24] infinity: but still some users find the input method in it inferior, and prefer their own program [06:24] infinity: yeah, I think that's the way to go [06:24] Again, I'm reminded of the Windows input methods, which may be drastically different (there are 3 or 4 for Japanese) but are all configured form the same place, activated from the same toolbar, etc. [06:25] users who prefer other things are too advanced to be my target audience. They can go find and install other stuff from universe if they prefer it. [06:25] We need "sane defaults" for the average user. [06:25] infinity: and that's the reason I think I need to write a summary, so that other developers who don't use CJK can understand the situation [06:31] infinity, minghua - where would one find the info to setup CJK on breezy ?

[10:49] mantiena: some, yes === mpt [n=mpt@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [10:51] mdz, as I understand most ubuntu-express work is done by javier.carranza@interactors.coop, right ? [10:54] what are plans for ubuntu-express ? I'm main developer of custom ubuntu-based distribution for Lithuania and other Baltic states - this distribution is installable live-cd and we currently use graphical Morphixinstaller and text mode https://launchpad.net/products/live-installer [10:55] mantiena: interactors have produced an implementation of ubuntu-express, yes. I have not actually experimented with it yet === terrex [n=terrex@84-122-90-162.onocable.ono.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:57] mdz, I wanna replace Morphixinstaller with ubuntu-express, but it seems in current situation ubuntu-express 0.92 (from http://interactors.coop/~trunks/installer/ ) has too many usability and other problems [10:59] I can improve ubuntu-express 0.92 (I have some experience with python), but in current situation it's not comfortable to work together on sources, because last ubuntu-express sources are somewhere at interactors.coop svn [11:00] it's been my experience over and over that noone knows what hostname is for [11:01] and quite a few semi-knowledable users think its something you have to ask a network administrator for [11:01] mantiena: if ubuntu-express is to be incorporated into Ubuntu proper, it will be imported into bazaar and we'll work out any usability issues [11:01] mdz, what you think about adding ubuntu-express to https://launchpad.net/products and importing latest sources from interactors svn to Bazaar ? I'm already registered on launchpad.net and submited my GPG Key [11:01] mantiena: but I need some time to review it and determine the best approach [11:03] I can add ubuntu-express to https://launchpad.net/products if you don't have free time === dereks__ [n=dereks@66.9.7.66] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [11:05] mantiena: time is never free ;-) [11:08] mdz, so, you agree, that I will register ubuntu-express on https://launchpad.net/products/ ? [11:15] mdz: we'll happy do the trunk conversion for you === andred [n=andred4@c-84b1e255.012-245-6c756c10.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:16] Can Ubuntu really safely include libmad0 in main? Then why not include gstreamer0.8-mad too:-) [11:18] yea ;) [11:19] Because I noticed that libmad0 is in main, but not gstreamer0.8-mad. === stub [n=stub@203-214-4-72.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:25] andred, I think ubuntu developers simply don't want to let users to use proprietary audio/video formats === TMM [n=hp@c51471f2c.cable.wanadoo.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:29] andred: libmad is a build-depend of various things in main [11:29] mantiena: that's not the case [11:29] Riddell, then why ? [11:30] mantiena: legal restrictions [11:30] mantiena: don't be ridiculous [11:30] mdz, ? [11:31] mantiena: ubuntu developers are working very hard to provide value for users [11:31] mantiena: it's insulting to say that we are deliberately making something difficult [11:32] mdz, I just tell what other users say [11:32] mdz, for me it's no problem [11:32] Riddell, But still, if mp3 decoding can't be shipped in main, then I don't see why libmad0 can be shipped, even if it's a build-requirements for some stuff. === mdke [n=matt@unaffiliated/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:34] andred: it's not shipped, it's only in the archives [11:34] Riddell, Aha, I see. That makes sense. [11:35] Riddell, But then why isn't gstreamer0.8-mad in the main archive, but not shipped by default then? [11:38] andred: nothing in main needs it. some things in main do need libmad to build so it has to be in main [11:38] mdz: IRC or e-mail preferred for breezy-updates? (4 of them) === tseng watches Riddell let the secret out [11:39] tseng: what secret? ;) [11:40] libmad0 in main [11:40] Riddell, Ok. I figured Rhythmbox needed it.
