| mdz | ogra: the ltsp guys have no problem with using esd -public? | 12:18 |
| ogra | nope | 12:18 |
| ogra | they do it as well | 12:18 |
| mdz | if I were a student in a class which used that, I would play sounds through other students' thin clients to get them in trouble ;-) | 12:18 |
| ogra | i also was at linuxtage essen this weekend and talkeda lot to the skole people, they do it too | 12:18 |
| mdz | the alternative would be to send the esd auth cookie in an environment variable | 12:18 |
| mdz | which would require an esdlib patch | 12:18 |
| ogra | there is no other way to make esd listen on the net :/ | 12:19 |
| ogra | yes | 12:19 |
| mdz | esd can use its usual authentication over the network | 12:19 |
| tseng | mdz: you would be the kid that MiM his ssh X tunnel and made bad pictures come up in a browser on his screen | 12:19 |
| ogra | most teachers tell me they will disable it anyway, because it will be distracting | 12:19 |

| mdz | tseng: except that the real me foiled that attack by stashing the server's ssh host key ahead of time | 12:20 |
| ogra | heh | 12:20 |
| mdz | ogra: it will be disabled by default | 12:20 |
| ogra | oh, i wanted enable it by default ... and make disabling optional | 12:21 |
| === doko_ [n=doko@dslb-084-059-078-133.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | we should disable it by default; if I'm not mistaken, that's what ltsp does as well | 12:22 |
| ogra | btw, seems the X_MOUSEDEV patches dont work at all for serial mice... i had several people that tried it ... will get a serial mouse myself as soon as i can find one ... | 12:22 |
| mdz | ogra: it looks like those debconf-communicate calls take a long time; we should collapse them into a single invocation | 12:23 |
| mdz | I think the MOUSEDEV stuff came from pere or vagrantc | 12:23 |
| ogra | as well as the colordepth patches from pere cant work with our xorg | 12:23 |
| ogra | i talked to daniels about it | 12:23 |
| ogra | as long as seen is set in debconf, it won be touched at all ... but he wanted to make a ENV var available | 12:24 |
| ogra | it would break the autodetection if we'd change the dbeconf behavior if i undrstood him right | 12:24 |
| ogra | but 16bit by default is essential | 12:25 |
| ogra | else we'll eat all mem ... | 12:25 |
| Keybuk | ogra: still haven't tracked down what causes that no-DMA issue; it affects you too? | 12:26 |
| ogra | i'm astonished the mouse stuff doesnt work ... a shame i cat test myself | 12:26 |
| ogra | Keybuk, yes, but the driver is loaded fine | 12:26 |
| mdz | ogra: thin client memory usage approved | 12:26 |
| ogra | ut since my lappie already has a 4200rpm drive its really a pain :) | 12:26 |

| Keybuk | ogra: are you around tomorrow AM (UTC) for some hot debugging action? | 12:27 |
| ogra | sure :) | 12:27 |
| mdz | ogra: in ThinClientAudioSupport, you removed my comment about esddsp but didn't address it | 12:28 |
| mdz | Keybuk: I can trace first-hand what happens; I just don't understand why it didn't happen before | 12:29 |
| mdz | Keybuk: have you checked with BenC if something changed in kernel-land | 12:29 |
| Keybuk | he didn't seem to think anything did, kay had no idea either | 12:30 |
| mdz | Keybuk: is it expected that ide-disk isn't loaded when piix loads? | 12:30 |
| Keybuk | do you concur that we're loading the right modules, but the module isn't claiming the disk and ide-generic is instead? | 12:30 |
| ogra | mdz, because the ssh_remote_commad hac worked so well... i'll look at esddsp again | 12:30 |
| Keybuk | tbh, I'm not sure ... I think mine does the same thing, and only loads ide-disk once ide-generic is loaded _except_ that for some reason, the right driver claims the disk | 12:30 |
| mdz | ogra: you are basically reimplementing esddsp on the command line | 12:31 |
| ogra | but i have to set ESPEAKER= anyway | 12:32 |
| ogra | so we wont get around this hack | 12:32 |
| mdz | ogra: esddsp is a lot better than setting LD_PRELOAD on the command line | 12:32 |
| ogra | yes, thats true, but i have still to add ENV vars ... so we'll have to make changes in two places instead of one ... | 12:33 |
| mdz | ogra: give it a try, update the spec for that, and it is ready for approval | 12:33 |
| mdz | ogra: no, it's still in one place | 12:33 |

| ogra | oki | 12:34 |
| mdz | ogra: it'll look like this: | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | ogra: ide-generic being loaded is hard-coded into the script <g> if it's not loaded, you've been playing silly buggers :D | 12:35 |
| mdz | ogra: ['env', ..., 'esddsp', '-m', session_manager, ...] | 12:35 |
| ogra | ah, k | 12:35 |
| ogra | that doesnt require ESPEAKER ?? | 12:35 |
| mdz | ESPEAKER is still required | 12:35 |
| ogra | that what i thought | 12:35 |
| mdz | well | 12:35 |
| mdz | or you could use esddsp --server | 12:36 |
| mdz | that is probably clearer | 12:36 |
| ogra | yup | 12:36 |
| mdz | ogra: also, why mess with amixer? | 12:36 |
| mdz | the alsa init script does a better job | 12:36 |
| ogra | its full volume here if i dont do anything ... | 12:36 |
| ogra | thats *very* loud | 12:37 |
| mdz | it should have exactly the same volume as if you booted the live CD or installed ubuntu | 12:37 |
| ogra | and thats what ltsp.org does as well btw | 12:37 |
| mdz | which is 80% | 12:37 |
| mdz | on most cards | 12:37 |
| ogra | hmm, then i'll have to inspect this | 12:37 |

| Keybuk | mjg59: bitched about the missing ide-scsi and ide-optical stuff | 01:16 |
| desrt | segfault; hopefully. | 01:17 |
| segfault | whats replacing it? | 01:17 |
| desrt | udev | 01:17 |
| desrt | and the kernel netlink socket | 01:17 |
| Keybuk | which is probably a good census of people who use them, because neither the Debian, Ubuntu or SuSE ide helpers load those modules <g> | 01:17 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Well, tough | 01:17 |
| Keybuk | segfault: udev has entirely replaced it | 01:17 |

| Keybuk | all of the hotplug scripts have been replaced by the command | 01:17 |

| ispiked | desrt: ping | 06:11 |
| desrt | hello. | 06:11 |
| desrt | you're the guy who filed the battstat bug. | 06:12 |
| ispiked | desrt: I am. :) | 06:12 |
| desrt | i just wrote a patch against HAL to fix it | 06:12 |
| desrt | wanna test? | 06:12 |
| ispiked | desrt: tried to PM you, but freenode is blocking those from non-reg. users. | 06:12 |
| desrt | ispiked; freenode is evil. | 06:12 |
| ispiked | derekS: hrm... possibly. I was just going to ask why it doesn't read form "charging state: ". | 06:12 |
| ispiked | like as a last resort or something. | 06:12 |
| ispiked | damn. | 06:13 |
| ispiked | sorry derekS. | 06:13 |
| desrt | because it incorrectly assumes that the values it is provided with will be sane/correct :) | 06:13 |
| desrt | (which is incorrect in your case and many others) | 06:13 |
| desrt | the correct place for all of these work-arounds is in hal, though | 06:13 |
| === ispiked thinks it should check the charging status first, then use the rate to determine the %. | ||
| ispiked | I thought I was using HAL, according to the troubleshooting part. | 06:14 |
| desrt | it's not so easy... the inside of battstat is a bit archaic | 06:14 |
| desrt | it was made to support apm/acpi backends directly | 06:14 |
| desrt | as such it doesn't have an idea of batteries 'charging' or 'discharging' | 06:14 |

| ispiked | alright. | 06:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | desrt: eww | 06:15 |

| fabbione | morning all | 06:15 |
| desrt | fabbione; word. | 06:15 |
| ispiked | desrt: fwiw, I haven't tried the cvs version of batstat to see if the bug exists there. | 06:15 |
| desrt | ispiked; very little has changed | 06:15 |
| desrt | ispiked; school has been kicking my ass lately... very little time for freesoftware | 06:15 |
| desrt | ispiked; (which is why it took me so long to respond to your bug) | 06:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | desrt: thats easy to fix! | 06:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | quit school! | 06:16 |

| desrt | mjg59; you know that gdm is maintained by queen elizabeth the second, right? | 06:16 |
| ispiked | mjg59: this related to me and desrt conversation? | 06:17 |
| desrt | ispiked; not really | 06:17 |
| mjg59 | desrt: So I noticed | 06:17 |
| mjg59 | So I've just put it in the Ubuntu bugzilla for now, and Seb can deliver it next time he's in London | 06:17 |

| Diablo-D3 | wtf? | 06:17 |
| desrt | :) | 06:17 |
| desrt | ispiked; the patch is against HAL | 06:18 |

| desrt | http://desrt.mcmaster.ca/random/hal-rate.patch | 06:18 |
| desrt | ispiked; apt-get source hal | 06:19 |
| desrt | ispiked; then toss the patch into the patches dir | 06:19 |
| desrt | ispiked; and dpkg-buildpackage | 06:19 |

| infinity | mvo : I just installed gdebi and tested it on the first two .debs I could find, and the version handling is a bit... Annoying. | 10:47 |
| infinity | mvo : No option to force a downgrade or force reinstalling. I assume that's intentional, but maybe if you hid the force options in the menu or something..? | 10:48 |
| mvo | infinity: I can add it, I left it out to minimize the "shoot-in-your-food" risk | 10:49 |
| infinity | Nice typo... | 10:50 |
| === mvo glares at his fingers | ||
| === infinity shoots in mvo's food. | ||
| infinity | And yeah, maybe it's best for a pretty GUI tool to not allow too much foot-shooting. | 10:51 |
| infinity | OTOH, people downloading random debs and installing them with a GUI are already a bit scary, so we should likely allow them to swap older versions easily, etc. | 10:51 |
| mvo | re-install seems to be useful, downgrading ... maybe sometimes (I heard about people using multiple versions of cedega because sometimes a older one works better for a certain game etc) | 10:51 |
| infinity | (Say you're downloading someone's pre-packagaged device driver or something, you find out the new one doesn't work well, you want to downgrade to the old package you have...) | 10:52 |
| infinity | But I was definitely expecting it to allow me to reinstall. I had to download something I don't have installed just to test the app. :) | 10:52 |
| mvo | infinity: heh :) did you download something that needed dependency resolution too? to give it a bit of a real test ? | 10:53 |
| infinity | Granted, Debian policy (and people packaging .debs in general) doesn't really make much noise about downgrading, and it's an "at your own risk" deal, but MOST packages downgrade smoothly anyway. | 10:53 |
| infinity | mvo : I will. Hey, I've only had it installed for 6 minutes. :) | 10:53 |
| mvo | downgrading is something that I never liked because of it's potential to break in spectacular ways | 10:54 |
| mvo | all the scary things that postins scripts do to "upgrade" stuff | 10:54 |
| infinity | <nod> | 10:56 |
| infinity | Hence why I said "most". :) | 10:56 |
| mvo | yeah :) | 10:56 |
| infinity | But I'm not sure "learn to use dpkg" is the right answer to "I want to downgrade my package" either. | 10:56 |
| mvo | yes, agreed. I need to ponder a bit how to present it in the gui | 10:57 |
| infinity | So, having force options in the menus (users seem to instinctively know that stuff in menus is "scarier" and more "advanced" than stuff on shiny buttons) might go okay... | 10:57 |
| infinity | With blinking warnings when you attempt it. | 10:57 |

| === ogra prepares his third kino upload ... | ||
| mantiena | infinity, hehe, I didn't noticed ;) | 11:47 |
| Keybuk | ogra: sometimes it's because they think upstream are going to change the versioning scheme | 11:47 |
| Keybuk | Debian maintainers go through all sorts of evil hacks to avoid epochs | 11:47 |
| ogra | tsk ... | 11:47 |
| Keybuk | ie. the Debian udev packages were versioned 0.<upstream> | 11:47 |
| Keybuk | which is effectively a 0: epoch anyway | 11:47 |
| ogra | i can understand the aim to avoid epochs, but thats just silly | 11:47 |
| zyga | epochs? | 11:47 |
| Kamion | zyga: <number>: at the start of a version number; is the most significant part of the version number | 11:48 |
| Kamion | so 1:0 > 0:99999.9.9 | 11:48 |
| siretart | zyga: short: run away on sight ;) | 11:48 |
| mantiena | infinity, it seems OOo 2.0.1RC was uploaded few hours ago ;) | 11:49 |
| Kamion | no, not necessarily | 11:49 |
| Kamion | its correct use is when upstream changes their versioning scheme, and you need to recover | 11:49 |
| sivang | Kamion: also used to sort version conflicts, or is that wrong? | 11:49 |
| Kamion | some people use it for rollback, but that's best avoided, especially when libraries are concerned (because you confuse the hell out of shlibdeps) | 11:49 |

| mantiena | Who is resposible for changelogs pool ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool ) ? it misses almost all changelogs from dapper :( | 11:50 |
| sivang | Kamion: sorry, I think I got the question wrong and confused between another term. | 11:50 |
| Kamion | mantiena: packages.ubuntu.com is an unofficial service; there is a contact address listed on its front page | 11:51 |

| pitti | jbailey: pretty fine - I mess up cdbs gnome.mk even further :) | 01:15 |
| jbailey | Excellent! | 01:16 |
| jbailey | It probably needs some tough love. =) | 01:16 |
| pitti | I'm so much not proud of this shell hack, but it avoids touching ~100 packages, so what... | 01:16 |
| jbailey | Shell hack? =) | 01:17 |
| pitti | jbailey: look at the existing gnome.mk to see what I mean | 01:17 |
| pitti | jbailey: the blob to update the pot file at build | 01:17 |
| jbailey | Ahahha. | 01:18 |
| jbailey | Fun. =) | 01:18 |
| pvanhoof | Does somebody know wheter I can find a precompiled Transmeta Crusoe TM5800 kernel? I'm trying to get Ubuntu breezy working on a Xybernaut Atigo | 01:18 |
| jbailey | Does this mean that Rosetta isn't expected to export anytime soon? | 01:18 |
| pvanhoof | of course the standard 386 kernel works .. | 01:18 |
| pitti | jbailey: what does that have to do with Rosetta? | 01:18 |
| jbailey | pitti: Isn't this the scrape for Rosetta? | 01:18 |
| pvanhoof | just wondering whether there's kernel binaries (I'd dislike having to hassle with crosscompilers bla) | 01:18 |
| pitti | jbailey: (I currently add updating .desktop files in gnome.mk) | 01:19 |
| pitti | jbailey: right, it is; it'll stay as it is :) | 01:19 |
| jbailey | pvanhoof: I think it's unlikely. If such a target really has obvious wins, then it might be worth talking to Ben about. | 01:19 |
| jbailey | pvanhoof: But he'll probably want profile data showing how it's an improvement. | 01:19 |
| pvanhoof | jbailey, to get it officially supported by ubuntu you mean? | 01:20 |
| pitti | jbailey, seb128: btw, IMHO gnome.mk really belongs into gnome-pkg-tools... | 01:20 |
| jbailey | pvanhoof: Right. I try to discourage people fro doing anything to the kernels if I can. | 01:20 |
| pvanhoof | official support isn't extremely important for my case, I'd be glad with a kernel image that would work | 01:20 |
| pvanhoof | I understand | 01:20 |
| jbailey | pvanhoof: As soon as you replace the kernel, it's not longer a supportable version of Ubuntu. If you have a serious need, it's best to try and get Ubuntu bent to your needs. Sometimes we can accomidate, sometimes not. | 01:21 |
| pvanhoof | but atm I've installed breezy on the device. X11 works, the USB doesn't and the touchscreen doesn't. And it's extremely slow at startup. So my idea was to try with a transmeta kernel | 01:21 |
| jbailey | pvanhoof: For boot speed slowness, best to try dapper. | 01:21 |
| pvanhoof | is it stable atm? By that I mean, will it boot? | 01:21 |
| jbailey | The other items just sound like real bugs that ought to be filed. | 01:22 |
| pvanhoof | some guys told me to hold because of kernel upgrades | 01:22 |
| jbailey | It depends how much pain you're willing to risk. It booted for me 20 minutes ago, fully upgraded. | 01:22 |
| pvanhoof | yes, indeed. I'm going to file those issues as bugs | 01:22 |
| jbailey | However, there are quirks. | 01:22 |
| jbailey | Like, networking doesn't fire up on its own. You have to ifup it right now. | 01:22 |
| pvanhoof | what about the quirks :)? I have a dapper of last week on this laptop, no quirks | 01:22 |
| pvanhoof | ah that's an imporant issue .. you see | 01:23 |
| jbailey | xscreensaver seems to hang my machine | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | I don't have a keyboard nor touchscreen | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | so if the network doesn't start, I can | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | t use the device | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | :) | 01:23 |
| jbailey | and if I type too fast for too long, X hangs. | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | okay | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | going to wait with dapper then | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | :P | 01:23 |
| jbailey | Everything else is perfect so far ;) | 01:23 |
| pvanhoof | I think slowness is because it's booting from a compact flash | 01:24 |
| jbailey | I haven't tried the keyboard problems yet since the xinput update that came recently. It was usually about 20 or 25 minutes of nethack or writing long emails that would kill it. | 01:24 |
| Keybuk | BenC: about? | 01:25 |
| pvanhoof | I'm guessing the ubuntu boot isn't optimized for booting from a flash disk | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | is there something I need to do to upstream kernel sources to make them work with an initramfs? | 01:25 |
| pvanhoof | where it would be better to load as much as possible into ram, rather than reading things random | 01:25 |
| Robot101 | pvanhoof: reading a flash randomly is surely going to be better than reading disk randomly? seek times are constant on flash. | 01:26 |
| Robot101 | pvanhoof: I think it's more that flash is very slow. :) | 01:26 |
| Diablo-D3 | hey man | 01:26 |
| Diablo-D3 | its not that slow | 01:26 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: No. | 01:26 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: Are you having troubles? | 01:26 |

| Keybuk | jbailey: yes, it appears I need to add "initrd /..." to the grub menu.lst :p | 01:27 |
| pvanhoof | Robot101, an fsck was much faster than booting ubuntu .. | 01:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | but still a fuckload faster than a cdrom | 01:27 |
| Robot101 | pvanhoof: fscks seek a lot but don't read much | 01:27 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: It's an excellent start. Or you can embed it in the data segment of the kernel. =) | 01:28 |
| pvanhoof | I see | 01:28 |
| jbailey | Booting at what stage? | 01:28 |
| Robot101 | pvanhoof: booting seeks a lot and reads a lot, it's the latter that will suck on flash. :) | 01:28 |
| jbailey | if it's from grub, you're getting non-DMA access to a slow flash device. | 01:28 |
| jbailey | It should suck quite badly. | 01:28 |
| pvanhoof | well, the "Loading kernel" part isn't fast but also not extremely slow | 01:29 |
| pvanhoof | it's rather after gdm started, loading the desktop. And loading the modules | 01:29 |
| pvanhoof | but | 01:29 |
| === mhz [n=mhz_chil@moinmoin/fan/mhz] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pvanhoof | I think the modules is slow because the uhci device fails (the slower usb controller) | 01:30 |
| Keybuk | jbailey: we found the cause of the IDE strangeness anyway | 01:30 |
| pvanhoof | the kernel module is retrying etc etc | 01:30 |
| Keybuk | now when I modprobe alim15x3 (or piix, or via83cxx, etc.) they all find the disks themselves | 01:30 |
| Keybuk | you don't need to load ide-generic | 01:30 |
| mhz | jdub: ping | 01:31 |
| pvanhoof | and about the touchscreen, when I cat /dev/ttyS0 and tap the screen .. I see characters | 01:31 |
| pvanhoof | but using that device in X11 doesn't really work | 01:32 |
| pvanhoof | so trying to get that working .. is there a way to detect the protocol? | 01:32 |
| pvanhoof | it's using a lot '/' characters when moving (my finger accross the screen) | 01:33 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: Ah. Is kmodprobe picking them up now? | 01:33 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: When I was doing my tests before I couldn't seem to get kmod to fire. | 01:33 |
| jbailey | Andres always said that it was supposed to work, though. | 01:33 |
| === jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | jbailey: dunno about kmodprobe | 01:34 |
| Keybuk | but loading the right ide driver (with udevplug) causes the disks to be detected | 01:35 |
| Keybuk | and fires off uevents for each primary block device and udev picks the right ide-cd/disk/etc. module to load | 01:35 |
| Keybuk | so modprobe alim15x3 does the right thing for me (with udev running) ... I don't need to modprobe ide-generic to kick it in the balls | 01:35 |
| Keybuk | and, in fact, loading ide-generic does absolutely nothing -- it's unused and can be rmmod'd again | 01:36 |
| jbailey | That sounds right. | 01:36 |
| Keybuk | yup | 01:36 |
| Keybuk | do you know what I did to make it work right? :p | 01:36 |
| jbailey | Nice, glad that's all sorted out. | 01:36 |
| jsgotangco | hello | 01:37 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: Mmm.. Replace udev with upstram? | 01:37 |
| Keybuk | nope | 01:37 |
| jbailey | jsgotangco: g'day | 01:37 |
| Keybuk | replaced the kernel with upstream :p | 01:37 |
| Keybuk | it's a bug in our patch set | 01:37 |
| === jbailey blinks | ||
| jbailey | Eh? | 01:37 |
| Keybuk | upstream, vanilla, 2.6.15-rc5 works exactly as intended | 01:37 |
| jbailey | Oh, hmm. | 01:37 |
| Keybuk | loading a particular ide driver scans and takes ownership of the disks | 01:38 |
| jbailey | I don't envy you your next 2 days. =) | 01:38 |
| Keybuk | its our kernels that are broken | 01:38 |
| jbailey | The patch has quite likely been there since at least warty, and possibly slightly before. | 01:39 |
| jbailey | Since I think I spoke to Andres about this at UDU | 01:39 |
| Keybuk | yup | 01:39 |
| Keybuk | it's Herbert Xu | 01:39 |
| fabbione | modular-ide? | 01:39 |
| Keybuk | fabbione: yeah | 01:40 |
| fabbione | it has been in Debian for ages | 01:40 |
| Keybuk | it's bust | 01:40 |
| fabbione | but upstream has been looking at it | 01:40 |
| jbailey | I keep forgetting we had him touch our kernel at one point, didn't we? | 01:40 |
| fabbione | and merged a bunch of the bits | 01:40 |
| Kamion | jbailey: he was contracted to maintain it for some time | 01:40 |
| Kamion | even after fabbione took over, he was still doing security maintenance | 01:40 |
| Keybuk | what was it actually supposed to do? | 01:40 |
| Keybuk | the ide drivers are modules without it | 01:40 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: no they are not | 01:40 |
| fabbione | some stuff might build as module | 01:41 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Ah neat. At some point while there's still institutional memory for it, a big chart should be made of who touched what and caused what to happen when. | 01:41 |
| fabbione | but they don't work | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | right | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | well, nothing works with this patch :p | 01:41 |
| fabbione | the patch did attempt to fix that | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | so I guess that's an improvement of a sort <g> | 01:41 |
| Kamion | jbailey: hmm, I wonder how to get that started | 01:41 |
| Kamion | it would already be enormous | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | yup, the warty kernel exhibits the same bug | 01:42 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: the major issue is that you can't even solve it the other way | 01:42 |
| fabbione | if you don't make modules | 01:42 |
| Keybuk | "the other way" ? | 01:42 |
| fabbione | if you revert the patch | 01:42 |
| fabbione | you endup to build-in a bunch of ide drivers | 01:42 |
| fabbione | that as a consenque you will have no control over their init sequence | 01:42 |
| fabbione | so you lose | 01:43 |
| fabbione | in one way or another | 01:43 |
| Keybuk | but this patch does exactly that | 01:43 |
| === adsb-work [n=adsb-wor@avco76.avcosystems.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | it disables the init sequence of every driver | 01:43 |
| Diziet | `Newsflash: Xen 3.0.0 has been released!' So is it stable ? | 01:43 |
| fabbione | Diziet: no | 01:43 |
| Kamion | argh, kernel-image-*-di still provides ext2-modules | 01:43 |
| jsgotangco | we wish | 01:43 |
| fabbione | it's a cvs snapshot randomly tagged as xen 3.0 | 01:44 |
| Keybuk | so you also have no control over their init sequence, because they don't have one | 01:44 |
| fabbione | Kamion: i can fix that... | 01:44 |
| fabbione | Kamion: what arches? | 01:44 |
| Diziet | fabbione: ! | 01:44 |
| Keybuk | instead ide-generic does the init'ing and then you're at hash-table luck as to which driver wins the device | 01:44 |
| jbailey | Kamion: No idea. About the time I came on, we started actually leaving audit trails of what all we were doing with the specs and such. It would have to have someone with a history bent who's interested in the project to convince others to be interested, I guess. | 01:44 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: -> blacklist my friend :) | 01:45 |
| pitti | $(patsubst %,binary-install/%,$(DEB_PACKAGES)) :: binary-install/%: | 01:45 |
| pitti | -- jbailey, I love cdbs... | 01:45 |
| Keybuk | fabbione: we can't blacklist ide-generic | 01:45 |
| Keybuk | which is the principal module that seems to win :D | 01:45 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: do in such a way to always try it as last resource? | 01:45 |
| Keybuk | I still can't see what this patch is actually trying to achieve though | 01:46 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: i don't know all udev internals, but i assume it does some kind of grep to decide what module to load | 01:46 |
| Keybuk | why not just let each driver do its own probing? | 01:46 |
| Keybuk | you're misunderstanding the problem | 01:46 |
| Keybuk | the problem is | 01:46 |
| Keybuk | 1) udev loads IDE-driver-of-choice | 01:46 |
| Keybuk | 2) driver loads, but has had its init sequence removed by this patch, so does nothing | 01:46 |
| Keybuk | 3) ide-generic is loaded by hand ("modprobe ide-generic" in the init script) | 01:47 |
| Keybuk | 4) ide-generic's init script probes for devices, and assigns them to the first driver that seems to want them | 01:47 |
| Keybuk | s/init script/init sequence/ | 01:47 |
| Kamion | fabbione: it shouldn't be provided by any arches any more, since ext2 is modular on all arches | 01:47 |
| Keybuk | 5) ide-generic wins devices over the driver-of-choice | 01:47 |
| Kamion | fabbione: filing a bug now | 01:47 |
| fabbione | Kamion: fixing in git :).. don't bother with a bug | 01:47 |
| Kamion | too late, #20535; I needed a bug anyway to document the seed workaround I need to make | 01:48 |
| fabbione | Kamion: ok | 01:48 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: So ide-generic was still wining anyway? | 01:48 |
| Keybuk | jbailey: right | 01:48 |
| jbailey | That doesn't make sense, since we were actually getting DMA out of drives. | 01:48 |
| Keybuk | jbailey: it won sometimes | 01:48 |
| jbailey | Mmm. Joy. =) | 01:48 |
| Keybuk | pretty much hash-table-luck | 01:48 |
| Keybuk | ie. if your ide driver hashed earlier than ide-generic, you won DMA | 01:48 |
| Keybuk | if your ide driver hashed later, you lost DMA | 01:49 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: ok.. can't we just fix this hash-table to do what we want? | 01:49 |
| Keybuk | fabbione: no | 01:49 |
| Keybuk | we should drop this patch | 01:49 |
| fabbione | why? | 01:49 |
| Keybuk | because it's wrong | 01:49 |
| Keybuk | each driver should probe for its own devices | 01:50 |
| Keybuk | I don't see why that's a problem | 01:50 |
| Kamion | fabbione: while you're there, could you arrange for all arches to generate an ext2-modules udeb? at present hppa and sparc don't | 01:50 |
| Keybuk | if I "modprobe piix", I damned well want /dev/hda1 to appear with that driver | 01:50 |
| fabbione | Kamion: sure | 01:50 |
| Keybuk | this patch seems to do two things | 01:51 |
| Keybuk | one adds _exit() functions to each driver | 01:51 |
| Keybuk | that seems sane | 01:51 |
| Keybuk | the other moves all driver init to ide-generic, which just seems wacky | 01:51 |
| Keybuk | unless there's a rationale for that, we should stop it | 01:51 |
| Kamion | fabbione: thanks | 01:52 |
| fabbione | Kamion: no problem | 01:52 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: i am pretty sure herbet has a clear idea on why it has been done that way | 01:54 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: you really want to ask him before reverting | 01:54 |
| Keybuk | well, doing that breaks everybody | 01:54 |
| Keybuk | and the upstream IDE subsystem maintainer thinks it's a very stupid thing to do, also | 01:54 |
| Keybuk | which to me is somewhat a clue that we don't want to do it :) | 01:54 |
| Keybuk | the patch makes _some_ sense for when we just used to load every ide module and hope for the best | 01:55 |
| Keybuk | but even then could be considered a kludge | 01:55 |

| Keybuk | fabbione: bits of the patch do look right | 02:00 |
| Keybuk | but the patch does two things | 02:00 |
| Keybuk | and one of them is clearly wrong | 02:00 |
| Keybuk | why would you want to load an ide driver and *NOT* have it claim devices? | 02:00 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: revert the patch and try | 02:00 |
| fabbione | see how many systems breaks and than we can evaluate :) | 02:01 |
| jbailey | Wow. I setup biarch x86_64/i386 kernel headers in may, and noone noticed that I had the x86_64 headers on there twice and no i386 headers. =) | 02:01 |

| === Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | Keybuk: some of them are visible as both raid and ide | 02:01 |
| Keybuk | so? | 02:02 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: if you allow the ide to claim the device you won't see the raid anymore | 02:02 |
| Keybuk | right | 02:02 |
| Keybuk | but that would be broken today if that were the case | 02:02 |
| Keybuk | because we'd have loaded the ide module and ide-generic, and it would have claimed the device | 02:02 |
| fabbione | Kamion: i fixed ext2-modules for sparc64, but hppa has always been there | 02:03 |
| Kamion | this all sounds kinda reminiscent of the piix/ata_piix thing we delayed the hoary preview over? | 02:03 |
| Kamion | fabbione: well it's not in the archive | 02:03 |
| Keybuk | because we were working around this "loading the right ide module doesn't actually claim the devices" problem in breezy | 02:03 |
| Keybuk | and, as you say, we can always just blacklist things | 02:04 |
| fabbione | Kamion: i am checking | 02:04 |
| fabbione | Kamion: the ext2 thing for hppa was added a while ago in .15. The problem is that there is no .15 for hppa in the archive | 02:07 |
| fabbione | Kamion: that's something i can't really fix | 02:07 |

| Keybuk | BenC: when is your next planned kernel upload? | 04:07 |
| BenC | in about 30 minutes | 04:07 |
| Keybuk | ok | 04:07 |
| Keybuk | hold it for one second | 04:07 |
| Keybuk | I have a patch which reeeeally needs to go in | 04:07 |
| BenC | ok, just say when | 04:08 |
| Keybuk | I just want to reboot to make sure my machine's still happy with it applied | 04:08 |
| BenC | ah, ok | 04:08 |
| BenC | what's it for? | 04:08 |
| Keybuk | fixes IDE | 04:08 |
| BenC | fixes it how? | 04:08 |
| === BenC didn't know it was broken :) | ||
| jbailey | BenC: You sound suspicious. =) | 04:08 |
| Keybuk | http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/fixed-ide.patch | 04:09 |
| Keybuk | reverts some of the "modular ide" patch | 04:09 |
| BenC | "fixes IDE" is a slightly broad patch description :) | 04:09 |
| Keybuk | let me just check I didn't fluff it, and I'll explain in detail | 04:09 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: You're touching exported symbols, hope it was an abi bump anyway. =) | 04:09 |
| Keybuk | jbailey: I expect BenC is about to bump the ABI anyway | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | ok | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | so let me explain it | 04:10 |
| BenC | yeah, it's -7.9 so all good | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/bcollins/ubuntu-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=149744c1475cdaf2c6babfd92f163cca8f10c540;hp=5a373d68631531fff09047364be4565d67335f08 | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | ^ that is our "modular-ide" patch | 04:11 |
| BenC | yeah, from breezy | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | it's advertised as making more of the IDE drivers work when modules and not built-in | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | but it actually does two things | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | one is fix those drivers (adding the exit functions, etc.) | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | and the other is to prevent ANY driver from claiming devices when loaded | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | and instead move device claiming to ide-generic | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | the effect of this is: | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | modprobe piix | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | doesn't claim any devices | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | instead you have to wait for that to settle, then modprobe ide-generic | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | and ide-generic dishes out the devices to interested drivers | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | the bug is | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | that ide-generic is also interested, and frequently wins the fight | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | now, | 04:12 |
| BenC | I remember that same type of thing in breezy | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | the rationale for this, afaict, was that we _used_ to load all the ide drivers and let them fight it out | 04:12 |
| BenC | right | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | ie. we actually loaded every single one, loaded ide-generic last, then removed any driver that wasn't hanging on to a device | 04:13 |
| Keybuk | so it makes kinda sense, in a very kludgy way | 04:13 |
| Keybuk | but we don't do that now | 04:13 |
| Keybuk | now we're clever, we load exactly the right single ide module we wanted | 04:13 |
| Keybuk | and we can resolve issues like "piix and ata_piix might claim the same device" in userspace, where we're supposed to | 04:13 |
| Keybuk | (by loading the right module in userspace through modprobe blacklists, et al) | 04:13 |
| BenC | what about the cases where none of the specific drivers claimed it, and ide-generic needs to be loaded? | 04:14 |
| Keybuk | those we can also handle in userspace | 04:14 |
| BenC | can or do? | 04:14 |
| Keybuk | do | 04:14 |
| Keybuk | so back to the patch | 04:15 |
| BenC | I just want to know what to look out for so if anything pops up, I know whether you or I need to fix it :) | 04:15 |
| Keybuk | this unpicks the part of the modular-ide patch that changed the way drivers grabbed drivers | 04:15 |
| Keybuk | so puts us back to upstream in that regard | 04:15 |
| Keybuk | so loading the driver for a particular ide device will claim that device | 04:15 |
| BenC | back to upstream is good, I didn't much like the way this patch worked | 04:16 |
| Keybuk | right | 04:16 |
| === pitti [n=pitti@ubuntu/member/pitti] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | so things that could pop up, in theory, if you have something that could either be RAID/SATA or IDE | 04:16 |
| Keybuk | and the wrong driver gets loaded first | 04:16 |
| Keybuk | the way to fix that is to tell me, and we'll arrange for the right thing to happen in the initramfs | 04:16 |
| BenC | what sort of troubleshooting do I ask of users having problems with this? | 04:17 |
| Keybuk | dmesg output will once again reveal which driver wins the device | 04:18 |
| BenC | "load ide-generic", "blacklist module foo"? | 04:18 |
| Keybuk | exactly | 04:18 |
| Keybuk | does adding "blacklist the-wrong-module" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist work? | 04:18 |
| Keybuk | (and update-initramfs) | 04:18 |
| BenC | one thing we are eventually going to end up dealing with (so I've found out today) is when pata drivers start getting included, devices will go from hda -> sda, for instance, but that will probably be post-dapper | 04:19 |
| === chmj [n=chmj@dsl-146-143-211.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | my favourite debugging trick is to boot with break=premount and get them to step through the process of loading the modules for their rootfs, and seeing which one throws the spring across the room | 04:19 |
| Keybuk | yeah | 04:19 |
| Keybuk | that will be a nice day | 04:19 |
| BenC | ok | 04:19 |
| Keybuk | then we can rename sd? to just disk or something <g> | 04:19 |
| Keybuk | http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/fixed-ide.patch | 04:20 |
| BenC | we may want to make sure we have the UUID mounting stuff ready in dapper | 04:20 |
| BenC | which will make it easier for post-dapper to make the switch | 04:20 |
| Keybuk | ^ right, that's the patch. it applies cleanly to our linux-source-2.6.15-6.8 (it might need a wiggle for your git tree) | 04:20 |
| Keybuk | and doesn't break compilation | 04:20 |
| Keybuk | and doesn't break booting for my laptop | 04:20 |
| Keybuk | <g> | 04:20 |
| Keybuk | if it fixes booting on our boss's laptop, so much the better | 04:21 |
| BenC | ok, I'll put it in, and trust it (so I don't have to wait 3 hours for my test builds to finish :) | 04:21 |
| Kamion | ~ # chroot /target | 04:21 |
| Kamion | chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: Exec format error | 04:21 |
| Kamion | I do love broken live filesystems | 04:21 |
| BenC | applied, with no fuzz :) | 04:22 |
| Keybuk | damn, I give good patch | 04:22 |
| Amaranth | pata? why the rename? | 04:22 |
| Amaranth | pata == ide, no? | 04:22 |
| BenC | pata is done in the scsi layer | 04:23 |
| infinity | parallel ata is a superset of ide, if you want to be anal. But who really cares anymore? | 04:23 |
| BenC | so uses scsi device names | 04:23 |
| Amaranth | seb128: LaserJock wants a Science menu to be added to applications.menu | 04:23 |
| === janimo [n=jani@Home03207.cluj.astral.ro] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| seb128 | Amaranth: file a bug on gnome-menus upstream | 04:23 |
| Amaranth | seb128: gnome has a bug filed and someone created an icon for the menu, just needs to get used | 04:23 |
| HiddenWolf | just hide the menu if it's empty. ;) | 04:24 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: I've the list of gnome-menus bug at screen atm and there is no one about this | 04:24 |
| Amaranth | HiddenWolf: That's default. | 04:24 |
| Amaranth | http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140900 | 04:24 |
| Keybuk | Amaranth: you know how SATA devices appear as SCSI drives? | 04:24 |
| seb128 | -Amaccording to the number that's before gnome-menus | 04:24 |
| Keybuk | well, PATA is the same for IDE drives | 04:25 |
| Amaranth | it got filed against gnome-icon-theme, i guess because the idea was that once an icon was created it was good to go | 04:25 |
| Amaranth | Keybuk: Yeah, which doesn't make much sense to me. | 04:25 |
| Keybuk | so you'll have /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/hda1 | 04:25 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: still, don't expect it to move if you don't file a bug on gnome-menus upstream | 04:25 |
| Keybuk | Amaranth: the SCSI subsystem is rather better than the IDE subsystem, and it's easier to implement generic bus-of-drive-like-devices in SCSI | 04:25 |
| seb128 | gnome-icon-theme is not likely to be tracked by markmc | 04:25 |
| Keybuk | whatever the underlying protocol | 04:25 |
| infinity | Kamion : You never specified you wanted live filesystems to WORK... Just get built. | 04:25 |
| Keybuk | if you want to look at it another way, that's semantically less scary | 04:25 |
| Amaranth | seb128: It was filed against gnome-menus at one time. Should I file a new bug saying the icon has been created, we just need to include it? | 04:26 |
| Keybuk | "there will be a single subsystem for drives of all kinds; SCSI, IDE/PATA, SATA and USB storage will all appear under it" | 04:26 |
| Amaranth | seb128: I think the icon needs to get into gnome-icon-theme first though. | 04:26 |
| Keybuk | it just happens that the single subsystem is the existing SCSI subsystem, not a new one <g> | 04:26 |
| Amaranth | Keybuk: ah, i guess that makes sense | 04:26 |
| Amaranth | Keybuk: but the sd naming no longer does | 04:26 |
| infinity | Amaranth : We're not the only OS with this oddity. SCSI programming is easier in Windows too, which is why many 3rd-party IDE controller drivers present themselves in the Windows device manager as SCSI controllers. | 04:27 |
| Keybuk | right, device names are userspace though -- we can always drop the "s" | 04:27 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: that's what bug Depends are for | 04:27 |
| Keybuk | or just pretend it means "standard disk" or something <g> | 04:27 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: create a gnome-menus bug and make it depends on the icon one | 04:27 |
| StevenK | Keybuk: "Special Device" :-P | 04:27 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: and I'm not sure that a science category is useful, want to put to it? | 04:28 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: What are you quoting from? | 04:28 |
| seb128 | what do you want to put to it? | 04:28 |
| infinity | StevenK : "storage device", and I think you've nailed it. | 04:28 |
| Amaranth | seb128: LaserJock appearently has a large number of programs that fit in it. | 04:28 |
| StevenK | Heh, I was joking. | 04:28 |
| Keybuk | jbailey: quoting? | 04:28 |
| Keybuk | infinity: perfect. | 04:28 |
| Amaranth | seb128: I told him to use Categories=Applications;Science;Education; but that doesn't seem to be a good fit. | 04:28 |
| jbailey | <Keybuk> "there will be a single subsystem for drives of all kinds; SCSI, IDE/PATA, SATA and USB storage will all appear under it" | 04:28 |
| Keybuk | jbailey: ah, English style (at least that I learned) is to use 'blah blah' for real quotes and "foo bar" for quotables | 04:29 |
| Keybuk | ie. that was a single sentence that could be less scary | 04:29 |
| Amaranth | Keybuk: most people just mix them randomly | 04:29 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: some example of the "large number of programs that fit in it"? | 04:29 |
| Keybuk | I wasn't quoting anyone in particular | 04:29 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Any ideas on how we could sensibly transition people from /dev/hda to /dev/sda ? | 04:29 |
| Amaranth | seb128: You'd have to talk to him. | 04:29 |
| Amaranth | LaserJock: ping? | 04:29 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: Ah alright. I didn't do english schooling, so I'll remember this. =) | 04:30 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: I'm not convinced, we are trying to make the menu easier, not to have a zillions of categories with 1 icon | 04:30 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Answers of the form "For certain devices, create hda device nodes that are actually SCSI devices" may be acceptable | 04:30 |
| LaserJock | Amaranth: pong. sorry was a little busy ;-) | 04:30 |
| Amaranth | seb128: Something about schools and science apps that don't fit into edutainment | 04:30 |
| infinity | mjg59 : I'm not sure. How's it been done in the past (when SATA controllers moved to libata)? | 04:30 |
| Amaranth | (which gnome doesn't seem to have an icon for) | 04:30 |
| mjg59 | I think people had to do manual configuration | 04:30 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: we could just symlink sda* to hda* ... | 04:30 |
| infinity | mjg59 : Somewhere in the 2.4 series, I had a mess of hard drives migrate to the SCSI side. I assume some commercial vendors actually had to deal with that, while I did it manually. | 04:31 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321703 | 04:31 |
| Keybuk | yeah, either works | 04:31 |
| mjg59 | Basically, there's some chance of migrating to using libata-based PATA drivers for most hardware | 04:32 |
| Amaranth | seb128: As usual you're way ahead of me. :) | 04:32 |
| mjg59 | Which has certain compelling advantages, and the large disadvantage that they're almost untested | 04:32 |
| LaserJock | seb128: I can understand wanting to keep the menu clean. It is just frustrating that science applications end up in Other or Education when they aren't really either | 04:32 |

| wasabi_ | Or something similar. | 05:31 |
| Kamion | infinity: md5sum matches | 05:31 |
| Keybuk | udev is replacing ifrename | 05:31 |
| Kamion | wasabi_: some of that's already changing in netcfg upstream | 05:31 |
| Keybuk | as that can actually rewrite the event as it goes and pass the right thing to ifup | 05:31 |
| Kamion | only affects new installs of couse | 05:32 |
| wasabi_ | Ahh nifty. | 05:32 |
| wasabi_ | Man what I really want though is n-m to become just a frontend to this. =9 | 05:32 |

| infinity | Kamion : I didn't want to know that. Yell at me about it tomorrow, and we'll dig deeper. It'a 4am and bedtime. | 06:00 |
| desrt | Seveas; is there any reason you changed my 'install -t dest src' to 'install src dest'? | 06:00 |
| Kamion | infinity: ok | 06:00 |
| desrt | Seveas; i'm incorporating a bunch of your changes upstream and am wondering about that one | 06:00 |
| Kamion | what's install -t? it's not in --help | 06:00 |
| desrt | Kamion; destination directory | 06:00 |
| desrt | 'target' | 06:00 |
| Seveas | -t doesn't work on ubuntu and is not in the manpage | 06:00 |
| desrt | -t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY | 06:00 |
| desrt | copy all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY | 06:00 |
| Seveas | which version of install is that? | 06:01 |
| desrt | works on my ubuntu :) | 06:01 |
| desrt | install (GNU coreutils) 5.93 | 06:01 |
| desrt | (dapper) | 06:01 |
| Seveas | -S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix | 06:01 |
| Seveas | -v, --verbose | 06:01 |
| Seveas | print the name of each directory as it is created | 06:01 |
| Kamion | must be a very new option; it's not in my Debian installation's version | 06:01 |

| mdz_ | Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location. | 06:35 |
| mdz_ | seb128: gnome-terminal still works (loads it in firefox) | 06:35 |
| mdz_ | oh, not on this machine | 06:35 |
| Kamion | it always seems that it should be under "GNOME Policies" or "Standards" before I think to try "Programming Guides" | 06:35 |
| mdz_ | on my desktop, xchat uses w3m and g-t uses firefox correctly | 06:35 |
| seb128 | mdz_: run the preferred app capplet, and set firefox instead of mozilla-firefox | 06:35 |
| mdz_ | on my laptop, g-t gives an error and xchat uses w3m | 06:35 |
| mdz_ | seb128: is this because I changed it sometime, or will it affect the default config? | 06:36 |
| seb128 | mdz_: I'll have a look for xchat, I use xchat-gnome atm I'm not sure it uses the standard gnome_vfs call (like gnome-open). The default system key has been updated so it'll affect only people who did some user change | 06:36 |

| ogra | mdz_, and it shouldnt point to a non existing binary :) | 06:38 |
| seb128 | mdz_: it has some nice plugin (can use libnotify, autoset away when gnome-screensaver starts, etc) | 06:39 |
| seb128 | mdz_: I guess there is no issue to switch now so we can get feedback on it | 06:39 |

| mdz_ | seb128: the bug where ^W closes the tab rather than deleting backward one word | 06:48 |
| ogra | we switched in breezy without one, thats why i ask | 06:48 |
| mdz_ | ogra: that was a sab override ;-) | 06:48 |

| Keybuk | GNOME doesn't use Emacs shortcuts | 06:49 |
| mdz_ | seb128: in xchat, if you use gtk-theme-name Emacs it disables that | 06:49 |

| Amaranth | seb128: http://www.realistanew.com/random/xchat-windows.png | 06:50 |
| mpt | This is why GNOME should have used Alt, not Ctrl, when copying Mac shortcuts ... | 06:50 |
| Keybuk | it copied Windows shortcuts, didn't it? | 06:50 |
| mpt | then Ctrl+W for delete word and Alt+W for close window could have coexisted peacefully, like the humans and the fishes | 06:50 |
| jbailey | mdz_: gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" | 06:50 |
| seb128 | Amaranth: weird, it's not the same with linux | 06:50 |

| elmo | pitti: well I'm kind of reluctant to just remove it | 06:57 |
| elmo | because that doesn't help the people who do only have -updates | 06:57 |

| Keybuk | it's breaking things | 07:06 |
| pitti | Keybuk: but if you need it, I can, sure | 07:06 |
| mdz_ | pitti: hoary-security is a newer version | 07:06 |
| mdz_ | pitti: I think we can safely say that if someone doesn't have -security in sources.list, they can't expect security updates | 07:06 |
| pitti | mdz_: for real branches (i. e. -updates not merged), I also fixed the -updates version, so in a way they can | 07:07 |
| mdz_ | pitti: we should not give them that expectation | 07:07 |
| pitti | i.e. whenever -updates has a higher version than -security, I fix both branches | 07:07 |
| pitti | otherwise using -updates wouldn't make much sense | 07:07 |
| mdz_ | they are separate to allow users to opt out of updates, not opt out of security | 07:07 |

| janimo | pitti, what should I need to be working on of wrt langpacks in xubuntu? | 07:08 |
| janimo | I saw it mentioned in the spec | 07:09 |
| pitti | mdz_: you say that users who use -updates should not get security updates? | 07:09 |
| mdz_ | pitti: the two supported configurations are: security+updates, and security-only | 07:09 |
| pitti | janimo: you mean in LangpacksDesktopfiles? | 07:09 |
| janimo | yes | 07:10 |
| pitti | mdz_: right, but if the -updates version is newer than -security, then -updates needs to be fixed as well | 07:10 |
| mdz_ | pitti: or -security needs a higher version | 07:10 |
| pitti | mdz_: right, when the -updates changes are merged into -security; this branch unification helps me, but isn't always appropriate IMHO | 07:10 |
| pitti | it was for evolution, that's why I did it | 07:11 |
| pitti | janimo: whichever library xubuntu uses to parse desktop files need to be taught to use gettext() for the translation instead of just taking the translated string in the desktop file | 07:13 |
| janimo | pitti, ok | 07:13 |
| janimo | so .desktop file no longer contain texts for all locales? | 07:14 |
| pitti | janimo: the new changes in dapper for ubuntu won't break anything in xubuntu, don't worry; it's just an added feature | 07:14 |
| pitti | janimo: they will, for backwards compatibility and e. g. for xubuntu or users of other WMs | 07:14 |
| pitti | janimo: we will just additionally use langpack translations to update/add translations | 07:14 |
| wasabi_ | Uh so what's the "status file" refered to by /usr/sbin/install-docs? | 07:14 |

| janimo | yes but the gnome ome | 07:25 |
| janimo | one | 07:25 |
| Kamion | janimo: and I'm not getting into that now because I have *this* problem to solve | 07:25 |
| pitti | mjg59: could you please LSBify the init script? | 07:25 |
| mdz_ | Kamion: did you do your baz->bzr stuff using tailor, or bzr --baz-import? | 07:25 |
| Kamion | janimo: I have absolutely no idea and don't want to think about it now | 07:25 |
| Kamion | mdz_: bzr.integration on chinstrap | 07:25 |
| Robot101 | Kamion: http://live.gnome.org/ProjectRidley_2fEggAssistant | 07:26 |
| mjg59 | pitti: Sure | 07:26 |
| ogra | Kamion, you have a win, a hbox and put the content in the upper part of the hbox.. add a buttonbox at the bottom part | 07:26 |
| Robot101 | Kamion: EggAssistant is the mooted replacement for GnomeDruid | 07:26 |
| Amaranth | libgnomeprintui is "not a part of the Platform"? | 07:26 |
| Burgwork | Kamion, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115348 | 07:26 |

| Kamion | ogra: seems kind of inconvenient for changeable content; ideally I'd have a top-level widget for the content so that I could put the pages in separate glade files | 07:27 |
| Kamion | Burgwork: deprecated> that page lists three gnome_druid_* functions none of which I care about :) | 07:27 |
| ogra | you can put whatever you want into the top part of the hbox ... | 07:27 |
| Kamion | ogra: not a Window, surely? | 07:27 |
| ogra | but EggAssistant might be right, didnt work with it yet | 07:27 |
| Kamion | anyway, gotta go for dinner | 07:28 |
| mpt | Kamion, I'd rather not have (effectively) two cancel buttons at every step (I'm squeamish even about having two in the first step) | 07:28 |
| Burgwork | Kamion, the bug is what you care about, that lists the patches for eggassistant | 07:28 |
| ogra | nope, indeed, not a window | 07:28 |
| === tvo [n=tobi@5354EA9B.cable.casema.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | mjg59: it looks like this package should be shipped for ppc as well, right? hd spindown will likely work there | 07:28 |
| Kamion | Burgwork: ok, I don't want to use anything not in the distro yet though, I have enough to do | 07:28 |
| mjg59 | pitti: Should do, yup | 07:28 |
| Burgwork | Kamion, my thought is that eggassisant is sort of a dapper+1 thing | 07:29 |
| Robot101 | Kamion: it's conventional to just copy egg widgets in to your app :-S | 07:29 |
| Kamion | Burgwork: run away, then ... | 07:29 |
| Kamion | Robot101: run away harder | 07:29 |
| pitti | mjg59: so instead of making it an acpi-support dependency, what do you think of seeding it to desktop? | 07:29 |
| Robot101 | Kamion: everyone has one in their app somewhere :) | 07:29 |
| ogra | Kamion, eggs might fit well with a dapper :) | 07:29 |
| Kamion | ogra: I need a top-level widget that can be the root of a glade file | 07:29 |
| Kamion | Robot101: not this app | 07:29 |
| pitti | mjg59: (assuming that you just added the dependency to pull the package in; not sure if it is actually required by acpi-support now) | 07:29 |
| Kamion | well, not copied C code anyway | 07:30 |
| ogra | well, the druid widget isstill there ... it just looks a bit ugly imho ... | 07:30 |
| Kamion | sounds like it doesn't meet mpt's requirements, so fair enough | 07:30 |
| ogra | Kamion, but why do you want a single glade file for every page i wonder ? | 07:32 |
| Kamion | ogra: life is always easier when things are modular | 07:32 |
| ogra | you can just reparent non-top-level widgets | 07:32 |
| ogra | and keep all in one glade file | 07:32 |
| Kamion | ogra: in this case I can put the separate glade files in different packages, conceivably | 07:32 |
| Kamion | I do not want one enormous glade file that's a pain to edit and impossible to look back through its history | 07:33 |
| ogra | true, but then you will need something like druid ... | 07:33 |

| ogra | in german it says sleepmode (Disk) and sleepmode (Memory) here in the current logout dialog | 08:31 |

| ogra | which is not perfect, but quite good already imho | 08:32 |

| ajmitch | seb128: because cdbs is great when you know what you're doing | 11:08 |
| seb128 | jbailey: what's going on with cdbs2, we still lack multibuild ... | 11:08 |
| jbailey | jdub: I vote for the whatever dance. | 11:08 |
| seb128 | ? | 11:08 |
| ajmitch | seb128: plenty of people still just use dh_make templates without understanding debhelper at all | 11:08 |
| jbailey | seb128: Aren't you supposed to be asleep? =) | 11:09 |
| \sh | ok...just for the rational | 11:09 |
| seb128 | ajmitch: I don't think you need to know the internals of everything to start | 11:09 |
| ajmitch | seb128: certainly not | 11:09 |
| seb128 | jbailey: it's only 11pm :) | 11:09 |
| jbailey | One thing I do appreciate is that at least ajmitch's talk is a *true* bare bones talk. | 11:09 |
| TerminX | seb128: do you have any ideas about that gnome-settings-daemon issue? | 11:09 |
| jbailey | As opposed to "cdbs it too high level. Let's use debhelper instead" =) | 11:09 |
| ajmitch | jbailey: I'll try & use dpkg-dev at least :) | 11:09 |
| \sh | debhelper and cdbs are cool helper applications...but if you don't know what happens behind the scene, it will cause more troubles. | 11:09 |
| seb128 | ajmitch: packaging without any dh_* is likely to just scare people away | 11:10 |
| jbailey | ajmitch: I think you have to. Last I heard, they're not real ar archives. They only pretend to be. | 11:10 |

| seb128 | no, but I think that's pretty useless | 11:11 |
| \sh | seb128: it's building a wall of knowledge | 11:12 |
| seb128 | you don't need to be a Makefile wizard to use dh_* | 11:12 |
| seb128 | that's crap | 11:12 |

| \sh | or info pages? | 11:12 |
| seb128 | no | 11:12 |

| seb128 | and? | 11:12 |
| \sh | we will change it | 11:12 |
| greenpenguin13 | there | 11:12 |
| seb128 | that's not showing them 400lines of Makefile that will fix the issue | 11:12 |
| seb128 | sure | 11:12 |
| ajmitch | seb128: I'll try & keep it gentle & explain as much as possible | 11:13 |
| seb128 | ajmitch: still, reading a "good old way hand made Makefile of 400 lines" is nothing useful to package using dh_* | 11:13 |
| ogra | seb128, most packages arent cdbs packaged, soif you have to fix stuff, cdbs is the worst to start | 11:13 |
| seb128 | I'm pretty sure nobody will learn for an 1 hour course | 11:13 |
| seb128 | you should rather teach them to use the dh_* | 11:14 |
| ogra | yes | 11:14 |
| mdke | hi all, has anyone got time/strength of will for some dapper new kernel/udev debbugging? or shall I just go to bugzilla? | 11:14 |
| \sh | seb128: it's a start...and we will build on this knowledge..it's not "use it for daily use" but it's "now you know the truth, and now you can hide the truth as daily business" | 11:14 |
| seb128 | that's like saying people need to now asm to do python | 11:14 |
| ogra | but ajmitch wants to starts the basics of dh_make | 11:14 |
| ogra | seb128, thats wrong | 11:14 |
| ogra | seb128, most motu work is done on existing packages | 11:15 |
| greenpenguin13 | all on there | 11:15 |

| === seb128 had to redo his first package without dh_* for NM task | ||
| seb128 | and I didn't find that fun | 11:20 |
| seb128 | neither useful for what I'm doing now | 11:20 |
| ogra | because you switch everything to cdbs :P | 11:20 |
| ajmitch | it's not so much the doing, as the explaining | 11:20 |
| seb128 | they will not keep anything of what you explain | 11:20 |
| Kamion | it's still just cp, install, and a couple of pretty well-documented dpkg-* commands. kind of different from assembly versus python | 11:20 |
| ajmitch | we don't expect everyone to run out & package without it | 11:20 |
| \sh | seb128: as I said : "How to package gnome/kde software with cdbs"..I'll ask riddell to second you :) | 11:21 |
| seb128 | we would better explain what the dh_* are and how to use them | 11:21 |
| \sh | seb128: when do you have a free timeslot? January that is | 11:22 |
| ajmitch | seb128: which is what I'll try & do | 11:22 |

| ogra | seb128, do a class about cdbs :) | 11:22 |
| Kamion | I can see why that requirement is there in NM; having been an AM I found it impossible to distinguish actual talent from dh_make, so I had to have *some* way to test people | 11:22 |
| Kamion | well, not a requirement, it's one option that AMs use | 11:22 |

| daniels | seb128: try Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" and run xcompmgr -a if you want a shiny fast desktop | 11:33 |
| seb128 | daniels: I would like to have the same speed as before without using new options to start | 11:33 |
| \sh | Kamion: wow..u improved the specs..I should invest more time, when I'm not working anymore :) | 11:33 |
| seb128 | daniels: it takes like 2s to switch workspace atm, and I do switch workspaces a lot | 11:33 |
| Kamion | \sh: there's a lot more there than there was at the start of UBZ, yes ;) | 11:34 |

| TerminX | (changed it to pc101 in gnome-keyboard-properties because I have a 101 key keyboard but as I expected it didn't do anything) | 11:35 |

| mvo | seb128: do you have working dri on your ati with dapper? | 11:37 |
| daniels | i think it needs a new drm | 11:38 |
| seb128 | TerminX: does "setxkbmap -model pc101 -layout us -option '' -print | xkbcomp - :0.0" works as expected? | 11:38 |
| daniels | seb128: yeah, I'm just curious if it's a geberal thing or an XAA thing specifically | 11:38 |
| seb128 | mvo: how do I know that? | 11:38 |
| seb128 | daniels: BTW while you are around :p | 11:39 |
| seb128 | $ Xnest :1 | 11:39 |

| ogra | seb128, do a benchmark with glxgears *giggle* | 11:39 |
| TerminX | seb128: apparently nothing on my system depends on package xkbutils because it isn't installed | 11:39 |
| mvo | seb128: glxinfo will tell you | 11:39 |
| seb128 | TerminX: ah ah | 11:39 |
| TerminX | shall I install it? | 11:39 |
| seb128 | yep | 11:39 |
| seb128 | mvo: direct rendering: Yes | 11:39 |
| TerminX | wait, what the hell | 11:39 |
| mvo | aoooohhh, I have working dri as well. something happend on the last upgrade. | 11:40 |

| seb128 | TerminX: ? | 11:40 |
| TerminX | that setxkbmap line you gave me gives me errors | 11:40 |

| jdong | ugh what a day it's been already..... | 11:41 |
| jdong | is elmo around? | 11:41 |
| seb128 | TerminX: xorg issue, bouncing to daniels ;) | 11:41 |
| seb128 | TerminX: g-s-d is doing this setxkbmap call | 11:41 |
| ogra | xserver-common bg | 11:41 |
| ogra | bug | 11:41 |
| TerminX | okay | 11:41 |
| seb128 | this syntax error is weird | 11:42 |
| daniels | ARGH! | 11:42 |
| daniels | TerminX: you get that too? | 11:42 |
| TerminX | yeah | 11:42 |
| daniels | it's complaining about compat/misc | 11:42 |
| daniels | i haven't been able to track it down | 11:42 |
| daniels | seb128: heh, cool | 11:43 |
| jdong | I've been getting very frustrated recently at the lack of response from elmo as to backports build requests | 11:43 |
| TerminX | in your defense, however, this install has been around forever and might have little bits of other X installs in it still | 11:43 |
| daniels | seb128: i'll sort out the xnest thing in a sec | 11:43 |
| seb128 | daniels: thanks ;) | 11:43 |
| daniels | mvo: working dri> kernel | 11:43 |
| mdke | jdong, yes he is around. You can leave him a message or email though | 11:43 |
| jdong | mdke: you think I haven't been trying e-mail for the past 3 weeks? | 11:43 |
| mdke | jdong, i don't think | 11:43 |
| daniels | also, xbase-clients depends on xkbutils | 11:43 |
| mvo | meh, starting ppracer gave me a blank screen and dosn't want to give anything back | 11:43 |
| TerminX | daniels: yeah, that was a mistake on my part | 11:44 |
| TerminX | (about it not being installed I mean) | 11:44 |
| mvo | (that is, it doesn't want to become a non-blank screen) | 11:44 |
| daniels | TerminX: does rm -rf /etc/X11/xkb/{symbols,compat} && sudo dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/xkeyboard-config_0.6-8_all.deb, help? | 11:44 |
| daniels | mvo: heh, cool | 11:44 |
| TerminX | I'll check, sec | 11:44 |
| jdong | this current Backports system isn't working out... I can't live with an unpredictable build timeframe.... that spikes into 3+ weeks at times | 11:44 |
| jdong | I get the feeling like the Backports Project is being ignored around here and shoved to the bottom | 11:45 |
| === mvo tried restarting gdm already, a reboot is required | ||
| jdong | which is fine and I understand there are other priorities | 11:45 |
| jdong | but the current build/mirror/archive architecture is not working too well with me since the beginning of Breezy | 11:45 |
| TerminX | daniels: I still get the error | 11:45 |
| === mvo reboots | ||
| mdke | jdong, if you don't find the right person here in irc, perhaps it would be worth emailing the devel mailing list to discuss it | 11:47 |
| daniels | TerminX: argh | 11:48 |
| jdong | mdke: thanks; I'll first try leaving him a message, then perhaps I'll go off to the mailing list | 11:48 |
| mdke | cool | 11:48 |
| jdong | mdke: I'm usually very patient :)... Just with all the forums crap also going on today, I'm getting kinda cranky :) | 11:48 |
| \sh | daniels: can you have a look at http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=5186 and http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=5187..there is some issue with xauth I think | 11:48 |
| TerminX | daniels: also, is it normal that I have to manually set mod5 to scroll lock using xmodmap? | 11:49 |
| mdke | jdong, i'm sure you can find a solution that works for everyone | 11:49 |
| === mvo is impressed by the shinny new usplash logo | ||
| elmo | jdong: you're being a little disingenuous - AFAIK there hasn't been a 3+ week delay ever. backports wasn't created for quite some time due to the various LP vs DAK issues. then it was created, and someone decided that meant backports was open. it wasn't. | 11:51 |
| jdong | elmo: can you push through the 5 or so outstanding requests, and also a rebuild of vlc? | 11:51 |
| elmo | jdong: and your requests aren't making things easier either. the requests to me should be final "backport this", not 10+ msg threads about whether or not it should be backported, and maybe foo should too | 11:51 |
| jdong | elmo: sorry about the occasional trail of messages that tend to go with disagreements about backporting X or Y.... | 11:52 |
| jdong | elmo: is there a bug tracking system or some other way you'd prefer? | 11:52 |
| elmo | jdong: bbias, I need to deal with something else | 11:52 |
| daniels | TerminX: that's a symptom of missing xkb | 11:53 |
| TerminX | ah | 11:53 |

| TerminX | that happened about a year ago I think, I set up a script to fix it whenever I logged in and kind of forgot about it :) | 11:54 |
| daniels | \sh: sounds like it's simply not working, though no idea why | 11:55 |
| TerminX | I think that was way back when it was still a sid install before warty, actually... | 11:55 |
