psusioh, yea... I made a hal fdi policy file to get it to auto mount03:56

jbaileydaniels: Around?04:26
danielsjbailey: represent04:26
jbailey=)04:26
jbaileydaniels: re: 21779, it's likely not cdbs rebuilding configure, but that you have some patch that's left configure.ac with a more recent timestamp than configure.04:26
jbaileyautomake will then attempt to rebuild the whole mess.04:27
danielsjbailey: my 'why the christ would you do that' sentiment remains :)04:27
jbaileyMy usual solution to this when I'm patching configure.{ac,in} is to ALSO add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE so that unless --enable-maintainer-mode is added to the ./configure line, it will never regenerate the tools.04:27
jbaileydaniels: Because the expectation is that if you've modified configure.{ac,in} more recently than configure, that you probably want it updated.04:28
jbaileyNot cdbs, but usual autotools magic.04:28
danielshm, I thought dbus already had AM_MAINTAINER_MODE in04:28
danielsi'll check it out anyway, though; thanks04:28
jbaileydaniels: Np.  I'm around for 5-10m, if you want I can look at it now {for,with} you.04:28
danielsjbailey: ah, it's okay, thanks.  i think pitti and mvo are nominally the dus maintainers anyway ;)04:29
danielsi'm the first on the debian maintainer list -- i.e., least active04:29
jbailey=)04:30
jdonglamont: can you help me look at why some backports still don't have binaries then? comix is one example, 2.1-1~breezy104:30
jbaileyIn other news, I haven't had a hang in a while on my X (r300, ppc64).  However, it now cmpletely fubar's the video after a while.04:30
jbaileyMakes it look like an analog TV when you try watching the VCR on channel 4 instead of channel 3.04:30

danielsusing xvideo, I assume04:31
jbaileyThe funny part is that I can tell when it's getting close to that time because the nautilus corruption stops.04:31
danielsif you could get a photo, that would be neat04:31
danielsheh!04:31
jbaileyxvideo?04:31
jbaileyNo, just regular IRC session or whatever.04:31
jbaileyBut I can take a picture with my digital camera next time.04:31
danielsoh, so it screws up your whole thing04:31
jsgotangcogood morning04:31
danielssorry, I thought you meant when watching actual videos04:31
jbaileyEven when I flip to a text console.04:32
jbaileyNonono04:32
jbaileyThe whole screen.04:32
jbaileyBut at least I can close x-chat and my email gracefully. =)04:32
danielsi get some interesting corruption every now and then on my r480 whereby you get random black lines roughly once every 380 scanlines, then they start multiplying, offset by a couple of lines each time04:32
jbaileyNothing like that, so far.04:32
danielsthat's only with videos, though04:32
danielsso I just blame the video engine04:32
jbaileyBut the nautilus corruption that I usually see is that it likes to shift things one pixel or two up randomly.04:32
danielshrm04:33
jbaileyLike the text under an icon will shift up 1 or 2 pixels everytime I move my mouse over it.04:33
jbaileyHowever, about 30-60 minutes before X pukes on me, all that corruption goes away.04:33
jbaileyAnd Nautilus looks fine.04:33
jbaileyCreepy eh? =)04:33
danielsdo you have any effects on icons? like, underlining text or anything04:33
danielsi only have the folder sort of lighting up when I move over it04:33
jbaileyNo, it just lights up on hover.04:34
danielsintriguing04:34
jbaileyA ghost of the text under the icon slowly crawls up with each highlight, though.04:35
jbaileyI think I can get a screenshot if you want.04:35
danielsthat would be pretty rad04:35
danielsthis is on the powerpc, yeah?04:35
jbaileyYup04:35
danielsi think texture uploads there are just utterly screwed04:36
jbaileyhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~jbailey/Capture.png04:36
infinityjdong: That didn't get auto-given-back due to a bug in sbuild that I've since fixed.04:36
infinityjdong: I'll do a mass-give-back in breezy-backports for you.04:37
jbaileydaniels: Interesting things here are that everytime I exit or leave the icon, a new text is created.  So one for insert, one for removal.04:37
jbaileyAlso that you can see from the gnome panel at the bottom that the whole thing is already offset some.04:37
lamontjdong:   Section             : unknown04:38
jbaileyAnd if you look at that Capture-2.png icon near the bottom, you can see that the corruption gets quite extreme after a while.04:38
jbaileyAnd then suddenly it will all behave correctly.  No offsets, no corruption or anything.04:38
lamontjdong: --> comix needs to be added to the breezy-backports overrides file before it will successfully build (since it's not in main...)04:38
jbaileyAnd a crash will happen soon after.04:38
lamontunknown gets lumped into main, knowing that it's probably wrong.04:38
=== jbailey does a quick double check of the icons on that page to make sure there's nothing too horrible on there.
infinityjbailey: Can it really be much worse than your usual screenshots?04:42

stratusdaniels, wasn't XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps block some optimizations? Isn't sidepanel option a better attempt?04:56

Keybukgood crimbo and new year?07:34
Keybukjdub: if you're referring to the missing one in the udev scripts, I don't know why it doesn't print the ok ... there's the right call for it.  I suspect usplash bug07:34
Keybukit doesn't print a fail either07:35
infinityKeybuk: usplash has a bit of a race, where if your init script is blindingly fast, you won't get your output.07:36
infinityKeybuk: Whether or not that's your issue, I dunno.07:36
Keybukit's the opposite, that bit takes a few seconds07:36
Keybuk~15s07:36
infinityIn that case, it's not a usplash issue...07:36
infinityYou're not backgrounding or something, and expecting to print the OK after other scripts have run? :)07:36
jdubKeybuk: doesn't it fork and return very quickly though?07:36
Keybuknope07:37
infinity(If so, you should just "OK" on fork)07:37
Keybukthe point of that call is it's the program that waits for the backgrounded stuff to complete07:37
infinity(Are we all talking about the same script, by the way?)07:38
=== ealden [n=ealden@203.76.228.217] has joined #ubuntu-devel
KeybukI assume so07:39
Keybukthe udev startup script usually doesn't print an "ok" for the "Detecting and activating hardware" bit07:39
Keybuknever has07:39
infinityI'd have to reboot to see which one I don't get an OK on, but it'd bean a longstanding bug.07:39
KeybukI've not bothered about it because it's cosmetic at best07:39
Keybukfunny thing is it does print it if you don't use usplash07:40
Keybukso somewhere the log_end_msg bit doesn't reach usplash07:40
Keybukbut appears fine on the console07:41
infinityHrm, that script is buggy in other ways.07:41
jdubnetworking does the same thing07:41
Keybukit is?07:41
Keybukjdub: networking doesn't anyway atm, gonna do that stuff at the sprint in Jan07:41
infinity /etc/init.d/udev start shouldn't "fail" if udev is already started (say, on my running system)07:41
jdubKeybuk: yay07:41
Keybukinfinity: damn well should07:41
Keybukyou shouldn't try to start udev on a running system :p07:41
infinityNot according to both policy and the LSB.07:41
KeybukI disagree with both07:41
Keybukit does that by design07:42
Keybukit's an rcS script, not a daemon07:42
infinityThen print "* udev already running... [ ok ] " and exit 0.07:43
Keybukno ;)07:43
Keybukthat bit of policy only applies to rc207:43
Keybukit's fine exiting 1, in fact, it's better; it tells people they shouldn't have done that07:43
Keybuk"udev already running" could persuade people to do "udev stop" which will utterly fuck their system07:45
infinityBut they can do anyway.07:45
infinityAnd they may do, right after the "failed" start.07:46
Keybuksure, but there's absolutely no reason for the fully message07:46
Keybukand those "use log_* for fluffy messages" are bugs too, imo07:46
Keybuk"echo" is sufficient if you want it printed on the console07:46
infinityIf you consider it fluff, then exit with no text if it's running already. :)07:47
infinityI was just suggesting changing the text if it's running, not adding more.07:47

MithrandirKeybuk: what do you think a sensible way to set up the network on the live cd would be, now that we don't do it in the initramfs any more?09:18
Keybukwe don't?09:18
mvohey dholbach 09:18
MithrandirKeybuk: no, the initramfs just does the minimal stuff needed to boot the system now.  simplifiedlivecd.09:19
Keybukcan we rewind a bit, I've missed the context of this :)09:19
Keybukgo gently with me09:19
Mithrandircurrently, the network interfaces on the live cd are completely unconfigured.  Including lo not being upped.09:20

KeybukMithrandir: you're not running S40networking?09:21
infinityI'm sure he is.  Of course, it doesn't work currently.09:21
MithrandirKeybuk: yes, but that doesn't do anything if you don't put anything in /etc/network/interfaces, does it?09:21
=== infinity still has to ifup eth0 over here.
KeybukMithrandir: true :p09:22
infinityI've intentionally not fixed my interfaces(5) file to track when that bug gets fixed. :)09:22
Keybukinfinity: yeah, that's deliberate; I'm going to work on that at the sprint09:22
infinityMithrandir: You could write an interfaces file if you're booting live... No reason why casper can't have an init script.09:22
infinityBut that breaks for people who want a static setup.09:23
Keybukin theeeeory, "ifup lo" will be handled by a separate early init script without relying on /etc/network/interfaces09:23
infinityThe real answer is "Gee, wasn't NetworkManager supposed to fix all of this?", but I still don't know if anyone has the round tuits to solve the "NM hates our way of doing things, and we hate it" issues.09:24
infinity(where "all of this" doesn't include "lo", obviously)09:24
Keybukinfinity: NetworkManager hates my Atheros09:24
KeybukI had some keen guy looking into it, but haven't heard back from him09:24
KeybukI suspect he hit the "oh gods, this is HARD" problem09:24
MezKeybuk, NM decided to cease to exist for me :D09:25
infinityKeybuk: Well, I still have other fundamental issues with it.  Like, it needs a way to configure the "on boot" network settings, for instance (if you can become root).09:26
StevenKfabbione: Yes, vblade 10 is out upstream.09:26
Mithrandirit also needs to stop writing invalid resolv.conf files.09:26
infinitySo you don't log in, configure the network, log out, have Mom log in, and Mom can't get to the internet, cause her NM isn't configured the same as yours (or at all)09:27
Keybukinfinity: agree09:27

lamontjbailey: smaller pixels. :-)02:22
jbaileylamont: Well, white on black text *must* consume less power, right?02:24
lamontred on black would only use 33% as many pixels, I'd think.....02:24
pittijbailey: depends on whether an enabled or disabled crystal consumes more, but I think an enabled one uses more02:24
mjg59Black on white ought to take less power on a TFT02:25
lamontwinona suggests removing files to make the laptop lighter, too. :-)02:25
pittijbailey: so, surprisingly, black on white should be more efficient02:25

mjg59pitti: Any idea how to deal with the MMC card problem? pmount (and, presumably, hal) seem to want the removable flag to be set in order to automount stuff, but the kernel people disagree03:22
pittimjg59: hm, a device must either be hotpluggable, or removable for that03:23
pittibut MMC cards being removable sounds right to me? because they actually are03:23
pittiand the reader itself isn't hotpluggable03:23
mjg59pitti: The reader is a PCI device03:23
pittiyes, internal readers are quite common03:23
pittibut e. g. cdroms are 'removable', so we can pmount them03:24
pittiwhy don't the kernel folks treat MMC cards as removable?03:24

mjg59Keybuk: Ah. What was the issue, then?03:44
Keybukthe major sticking point is that it doesn't support or work with one of the most common wifi cards03:44
elmomjg59: oh, wow, shiny03:44
mjg59Keybuk: That being?03:44
KeybukAtheros03:44
mjg59Uhm. It's bloody well meant to.03:44
Keybuknope03:44
elmomjg59: i810switch "works" in as much as it turns the monitor on, but all that's displayed is an ever-brithening blue blob03:44
Keybuklong flamewars about it03:45
Keybukbasically it comes down to an interpretation of the standard03:45
Keybukthere's a "scan for new networks" ioctl that nm issues every 30s03:45
Keybukthe ipws take this to just mean "update your table of nearby networks and tell me when done"03:45
Keybukthe atheros takes it to mean "Bored of this network, deconfigure the card and find me a better one"03:45
mjg59Keybuk: I'm aware that that /has/ been the case, but I didn't believe it was currently the case03:46
mjg59Given that Novell are using it, and a lot of Novell people have Atheros hardware...03:46

Keybukthere may be a new fixed version, Christian is going to upload that to universe and I'll play with it and see what happens03:47

Keybukand if you (like me at home) have a stronger network that's not yours, your laptop jumps to that one instead03:47
mjg59Right. Give me a second and I'll test it here.03:47
elmojanimo: sec03:47
whiprushI don't see that here. nm and atheros.03:48
Keybukrun wavemon, every 30s or so the signal will drop out totally03:48
mjg59elmo: Ok, that sounds like it's powering up the crtc but not changing the display pipes03:48
mjg59elmo: Try i855crt with that patch?03:48
elmomjg59: yeah, already compiling it03:49
Mithrandirwould adding "auto %s\niface %s inet dhcp" for each network interface found be considered rude?  (In the live CD, that is)03:56
mjg59Mithrandir: Given that it'll block, yes03:56
elmomjg59: meh, doesn't work (same problem with rawpipe as with i810switch, and SNAFU screen with a specific res), oh well - thanks anyway03:56
Keybukmjg59: not for too much longer03:57
Mithrandirmjg59: I can blame Scott for that and he'll have an incentive to fix it. :-)03:57
mjg59elmo: Only other real option is to set up mirroring at all times in xorg.conf03:57
elmomjg59: if I do that, does it work without the monitor?03:58
mjg59elmo: Yes03:58
mjg59Power consumption will be slightly higher, though03:58

Keybuktenco: I think we had to add those05:14
tencoKeybuk: thanks so far :-)05:15
Keybukso there's a bunch of "network-like" things we have to bring up during boot05:15
mdzhow do we get away with not running depmod for l-r-m?05:15
mdzor is it broken and nobody's noticed yet?05:16
Keybukmdz: we depmod when we install the package, and expect the dependencies to not change <g>05:16
mdzKeybuk: the modules for l-r-m don't exist until boot time05:16
Keybukthey exist at install time too05:16
mdzhmmm05:16
Keybukthe postinst runs lrm-manager, which calls depmod05:17
mdzI guess it's ok unless someone unmounts the tmpfs and installs a new kernel05:17
Keybukwhy would that matter?05:17
Keybukdifferent tmpfs per kernel version05:17
mdzbecause that would remove the entries from modules.dep05:17
mdzand upgrading the kernel would run depmod05:17
Keybukand there are a whole gangbang of problems about removing or upgrading your running kernel anyway05:18
BenCKamion: sweet, thanks05:18
mdzKeybuk: so about these network-like things05:18
Keybukif someone installs kernel A-1, and the appropriate lrm for it, then unmounts the tmpfs, and then upgrades to A-2 ...05:18
Keybukthen yes, it wouldn't work05:18
Keybukbut I think that comes under a severe case of "don't put your gun at your feet"05:19
Keybukright, networking05:19
Keybukso we have to bring up:05:19
Keybuk1) lo05:19
Keybuk2) devices for which we find the hardware, load modules, etc.05:19
Keybuk3) static magic devices like ppp, tunnels, etc.05:20

Keybukmdz: no, fortunately we don't; they look the same to us05:20
mdzcool05:20
Keybuk2) can be summed up as "everything the kernel has hardware for"05:21

Keybukexcept for the stuff in 05:21
Keybuk3) which is the stuff there's no hardware for05:21
mdzfor 1), we currently have an init script which configures it based on /etc/network/interfaces.  any reason to change that?05:21
Kamionyou sure about listing ppp under 3)?05:22
KeybukI'd rather like to fix the "eth0:2 isn't brought up when eth0 is plugged" bugs too05:22
Keybukmdz: we do?  when did that show up?05:22
KamionI suppose it's there sometimes, e.g. for serial modems05:22
mdzKeybuk: we do 'auto lo' and 'ifup -a' still, no?05:22
KeybukKamion: dunno, I've seen people with ppp listed in eni05:22
Keybukmdz: currently, yes ... but that's far too late05:22
Keybukwe need to "ifup lo" before we do just about everything, including starting uedv05:23

mdzifconfig lo inet 127.0.0.1 # TYVM HAND05:25
Keybuk- call "ifup --auto-only $DEVNAME" in udev when network hardware is detected05:25
Keybukand then deal with 3) somehow05:25
mdzif the user wants to add additional IP addresses to lo or something, it's fine for that to take effect later on05:26

Keybukwe could always drop it from there, don't write it in netcfg, and just bring it up as you suggest05:29
Keybukno sane person changes its details, after all05:29
mdzMithrandir: the udeb boils down to md5sum -c05:30
fabbioneKeybuk: remember that lo can be something different than 127.0.0.1/8 and that the network is routable...05:30

BenCKeybuk: oh, I found out something: eject -t will get a USB device back in most cases, after an eject05:40
Keybukthat's kinda cute05:41

Keybukin a totally sick, "get your own ioctls and stop abusing them" kind of way05:41
mdzKeybuk: so for 1), "add an ifconfig/ip call to initramfs" seems like the right way to go05:41
BenCkeybuk: fact is that some USB devices do the right thing, and "eject" the memory card (or whatever) virtually05:41
Keybukmdz: right; we still need a way of bringing up interfaces for hardware though05:42
BenCit's a hardware thing more than a driver issue05:42
mdzKeybuk: right, on to 2)05:42
Keybukmdz: allow-hotplug seems ... wrong; it brings us back yet again to having two options which mean the same thing in different ways05:42
Keybukmdz: just having "auto eth0" seems best, that way if udev doesn't bring it up, S40networking will05:42
KeybukBenC: my video camera switches back to ordinary camera mode, instead of dumb USB mode; I'm reasonably glad it doesn't eject its own hard disk <g>05:43
mdzlemme read the bug about allow-hotplug05:43
mdzhmm05:44
mdzso it sounds like allow-hotplug is meant to mean "run ifup when the hardware is detected"05:44
mdzwhile "auto" continues to mean "run ifup from S40networking"05:45
Keybukright05:45
Keybukwhich is crackful05:45

mdzI agree that the distinction doesn't seem particularly useful05:45
mdzeither it should be brought up at boot, or not05:45
Keybukif the hardware hasn't be detected, trying to bring it up in S40networking isn't going to work05:45

seb128I think it should be 660 because with the current 640 gfloppy complains that you don't have any right on the device when you are a member of the floppy group06:09
Keybukseb128: if it's 640, it means that the kernel is now advertising floppy block devices as "removable"06:09
Keybukand that sounds like a bug in gfloppy, no?06:09
Keybukwhat does write permission on the device give you?06:09
seb128do you need to write to format it?06:09
Keybukwe need pitti for this, he explicitly asked for removable devices to NOT have write permissions06:10

Keybukvarious bits of Debian still don't like Ubuntu for particular reasons06:51
HiddenWolfponingru, both debian and ubuntu have trolls in their ranks, and those like bashing eachother.06:52
jordiI haven't said the Debian kernel team doesn't like Ubuntu's06:52
Keybukit's rather deeper than that06:52
jordiI just owndered what the situation is06:52
Keybuka few Debian maintainers have fairly large problems with, for a lack of a better description, "being patched"06:53
=== ogra looks for the ubuntu trolls
Keybukthere's not much inter-developer trolling06:53
Keybukthat kind of thing (as with KDE/GNOME) tends to just take place in the user ranks06:53
poningruI think its due to the coc06:53
ograthats what i meant06:54
HiddenWolfKeybuk, and having their system of work disrupted by ubuntu developers, by not having a designated maintainer to talk to in ubuntu, and loads of other reasons. :)06:54
poningruwell even within dev for gnome and kde they have other subject trolls06:54
poningrulike the recent israel bout06:54
Keybukjordi: I suspect the situation is really just that we don't have a kernel team, we have a BenC; who sends patches directly upstream06:54
jordiKeybuk: ah I see06:54
Riddellponingru: where was that?06:55

janimoelmo, xubuntu-docs/NEW/GPL ping :)06:56
HiddenWolfKeybuk, it takes a certain attitude to work openly. If you like to take pride in and out of _your_ work, the debian system tends to give you more credit and possibly "power" and "protection"  than ubuntu and upstream06:56
Riddelljanimo: did your key get added to the ring?06:56

janimoheh, trying too ;)06:57
HiddenWolfKeybuk, I know that many people here are. :)06:57
HiddenWolfKeybuk, and that wasn't ment personally, but as a possible explanation06:57
janimoelmo, I did not say I would contact them, just said that the docs in xubuntu are based on their work06:57
HiddenWolfKeybuk, s/you/one06:57
janimobut here's Riddell so we can talk it out no06:57
janimonow06:57
KeybukHiddenWolf: I actually find that hypocritical; because Debian is supposed to be all about open-ness and sharing, not about power or protection06:57
janimoRiddell, elmo raised the issue that the xubuntu-docs license is GPL06:58
Keybukwhen you get a maintainer complaining that somebody has patched their package, I start to wonder why they so freely patch their upstream without taking the same consideration06:58
janimoI based it on ubuntu/kubuntu docs so followed their license06:58
HiddenWolfKeybuk, but the maintainer has the final word about a package. thus the maintainer has "power"06:58
ograjanimo, that should be cc-sa 2.5 06:58

Keybuk(old jwz-related joke)06:59
janimoogra, I am talking about ubuntu-docs :)06:59
janimoI know artwork is CC06:59
KeybukHiddenWolf: it's not final though, because the package is freely licenced, anyone (Ubuntu, DCC, users, etc.) can change it again07:00

dilingerjordi: the debian and ubuntu kernel team have slightly different goals, as well07:01
ograjanimo, i based on ubuntu-artwork ... since my only doc in dapper is the firefox homepage07:01
janimoogra, xubuntu-docs only contains the text of the ff start page07:01
dilingerjordi: which make enough of a difference that sharing the codebase probably won't happen anytime soon07:01

jordith09:56
jordithat's our roadmap09:56
janimoBurgwork, exactly, but before proposing this to xfce I need to see if it;s feasible :)09:57
stratusmvo, i'll translate it to pt_BR and see if there's something more that i can bring into the code (probably not, i'll be short in time) in two or three hours. It's up to you when a new version could be released then. =)09:57
janimojordi, thanks. As Burgwork noted I am thinking what it would take to try convincing xfce to try using it09:57
jordijanimo: xfce, as a project with multiple products under the same umbrella, would currently find some problems with the permission handling of product groups09:57
shayaseb: nothing seems to have "mail_tool_get_local_movemail_path"09:58

stratusmvo, great i'll do.09:58
jordiit basically depends on your needs. Do you need that only some designated people by xfce admins are able to work on those translations, or would you allow anyone to contribute to, say, the French translation?09:58

(mdz/#ubuntu-devel) especially given that it's a regression from breezy10:58
Mithrandiryou think the new livecd is a regression from breezy?10:59
mdzno, the usplash support has regressed though11:00
=== janimo [n=jani@Home03207.cluj.astral.ro] has left #ubuntu-devel []
Mithrandirbut that'll be fixed with the initramfs-usplash patches and we'll all in all end up with a lot smoother live than before11:00
mdzyes, that's the plan, but I'm saying that there's a little more to it than waiting for usplash-initramfs to land11:01
Mithrandirsure11:01
mdzusplash support was a part of the summary for the simplified-livecd spec; the text of the spec delegates that concern to usplash-initramfs, but that spec doesn't cover the livecd-specific aspect that I see11:02
MithrandirI'll make sure that we have usplash working, even if it falls between the crack between the specs.11:02
mdzI appreciate it11:02
MithrandirI'm more worried about how it looks as a whole than whether it's my responsibility or not to fix it from fine-reading the spec. :-)11:03
mdzfunctionally it's looking good11:05
mdzhave you talked with lamont or infinity about getting livefs images in squashfs format in addition to the existing ones?11:05
mdzit should be pretty easy for them to arrange11:06
Mithrandiryes, or rather, infinity said "we'll talk about it on friday"11:06
mdzgood11:06
Mithrandirit's not a hard thing at all.  I want to play with squashfs-lzma as well, since that saves us even more.11:07

AmaranthMithrandir: holy shit11:09
lamontand has both the cloop and fsimage for each11:09
mdzlamont: we can scrap the uncompressed version when the build is done11:09
mdzlamont: oh, you need it for the next one11:09
lamontmdz: not if you want rsync-love11:09
lamontyeah11:09
Amaranthhey, you could fit more languages and/or mono on there with the extra room ;)11:09
lamontwell, we could uncompress it at the start, but sigh.11:10
mdzonly the N-1th build though11:10
Mithrandirmdz: yeah, and squashfs (both lzma and regular) are rsyncable.11:10
mdzbut unless the machine is out of disk space...;-)11:10
mdzMithrandir: is decompression performance significantly different?11:10
lamontmdz: that 20 is 2 each * 4 at ~2.3GB/build11:10
mdzlamont: 2 each?11:11
lamontyeah, the other 1 or 2 failed...11:11
lamontthe prune script just nukes things > 3 days old11:11
Amaranthi remember lzma being slightly slower than gzip and a lot faster than bz211:11
Amaranthdunno what cloop is/uses though11:11
lamontunless it's the latest or current (last successful), in which case, it's timeless11:11
=== ealden [n=ealden@ipdial-189-69.tri-isys.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzcloop uses gzip mostly11:11
lamontAmaranth: gzip11:11
Amaranthok then11:12
lamontour images are almost entirely gzip -9, according to the log11:12
Amaranththis is probably one of those things where the small size makes it faster to get off disc so it ends up being a tie or win11:12
lamonthrm... istr maybe we just forced that, instead of letting it try -1 through -9 before deciding that -9 was best.11:12
mdzit supports gzip and 7zip11:13
lamontmdz: it wouldn't be to much of a tweak to have the prune script nuke everything _except_ latest&current11:13
Amaranth7zip's "native" format is lzma11:13
mdzhmm, we could try cloop+7zip11:14
=== ptlo [n=senko@83-131-76-100.adsl.net.t-com.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzI doubt it'll be as good as squashfs-lzma though11:14
Mithrandirmdz: devmapper+cloop: ~367s till disk activity is settled, unionfs+cloop: ~326s, unionfs+squashfs: ~231s11:14
mdzMithrandir: !11:14
Mithrandirmdz: basically, since you're pulling stuff off the CD, it's the cd which is the bottleneck11:14
danielsKamion: ping11:14
Amaranthit's faster than cloop _and_ 100M smaller?11:14
danielsKamion: have you seen the xkb-on-console-keymap work?11:14
Mithrandiryeah, and squashfs gives us the ability to sort the filesystem however we want11:15
AmaranthMithrandir: yeah, that's what i was guessing11:15
mdzAmaranth: not entirely surprising, given that cloop knows nothing about the filesystem11:15
AmaranthMithrandir: you can use the same argument for using lzma for packages too :)11:15
mdzevery metadata block has to be decompressed too11:15
Mithrandirso we can do some cool readahead-based magic and probably just grab the first 100M or so off the CD in one long read.11:15
Amaranthit'd be nice to have a livecd that didn't take 3 minutes to start11:16
Mithrandirthat'd be fairly sweet.11:16
Amaranthor longer11:16
Amaranthi stopped counting at 3 :P11:16
MithrandirAmaranth: http://people.ubuntu.com/~tfheen/live-bootcharts/unionfs-squashfs-dapper-20051216-1.png is from my machine (which is fast and has plenty of ram, but still.)11:16
mdzMithrandir: when we do data collection to create the readahead list, we can use that same data to sort the filesystem11:16
Mithrandirmdz: exactly what I was thinking.11:17
mdzis squashfs going upstream?11:17
lucasdo members of ubuntu-dev have the right to upload multiverse packages ? or does it have to be an ubuntu-core-dev ?11:18
Mithrandirmdz: hmm, we could do something like bootchart=upload.  readahead=upload, so we could collect usage stats and see what apps people actually started in the first couple of minutes after boot and put those early (and readahead them too, if possible)..11:18
mdzlucas: ubuntu-dev can upload to multiverse11:18
lucasok, thx11:18
Mithrandirmdz: I don't know; it seems to be nice and stable, so it could, at least.11:18
mdzmore likely than cloop, certainly11:18
AmaranthMithrandir: that dang "init" thing seems to be running the whole time, you should try to kill it ;)11:19
MithrandirAmaranth: ;-P11:19
mdzMithrandir: someone suggested using inotify to track file access during boot; that sounded like the right idea11:19
Mithrandirmdz: I have suggested it multiple times, I just haven't had time to actually write the code. :-)11:20
mdzI didn't realize inotify could detect read access11:20
dholbachhave a nice evening11:20
Mithrandirit can do everything, including summoning dragons and making pigs fly.11:20
Mithrandirbut, I'm off to bed now.  See you around.11:20

mdzgood night11:21
psusiwait a second11:21
psusilzma for the squashfs saved 100M?  using the same block size?11:21
psusi7zip can save a LOT of space but it seems to do so mostly through use of extreamly large dictionaries... which only apply to data blocks that are larger11:22
psusicramfs/squashfs/cloop all use small block sizes to allow random access11:23
Mithrandirpsusi: it works, at least, so yes.11:24
Mithrandirpsusi: that is, I haven't actually booted squashfs-lzma, but it should work.11:24
Mithrandirit works for the openwrt people.11:24
Mithrandirbut, night, for real.11:24

dokomdz: would it make sense to name packages/package sets in UpstreamVersionFreeze, for which we want make an exception or propose an exception?11:57
