| desrt | BenC; i was about to ask if you could send me the patch you had before | 01:15 |
| desrt | BenC; so i can give it a test | 01:15 |
| BenC | desrt: don't have a patch, but there's a git tree www.kernel.org/git/ | 01:16 |
| BenC | look for ieee1394 | 01:16 |
| desrt | awesome | 01:16 |
| desrt | do i just do like 'git checkout'? :) | 01:16 |
| desrt | k. i'll let you know how it goes | 01:17 |
| BenC | ok | 01:17 |
| BenC | if you have an ubuntu git tree, you can just do a pull from the ieee1394 tree to get the changes | 01:18 |
| desrt | i know 3 things about git: | 01:18 |
| desrt | 1) it's a revision control system | 01:18 |

| mdz | jdub: it's looking good | 02:39 |
| mdz | jdub: once I fixed the keyboard shortcuts, that is | 02:39 |
| mdz | infinity: I'm getting spurious "Cannot update" messages from update-initramfs; have you seen this? | 02:40 |
| mdz | there's no file in /var/lib/initramfs-tools for my 2.6.15-11-k7 | 02:40 |
| infinity | No, it's completely silent for me. A bug report would be nice. A trace of what it's trying to do would be nicer. | 02:40 |
| infinity | Oh. That's special. Did /var/lib/initramfs-tools get cleaned on your machine at some point? | 02:41 |
| infinity | kernel-packages (and hence the linux kernels) have been "correctly" creating initramfs (and populating that directory) for ages... | 02:41 |
| BenC | desrt: there's scsi merges in the ieee1394 git? | 02:42 |
| desrt | BenC; yup | 02:42 |
| BenC | that's not the code I got then | 02:42 |
| infinity | mdz: I've not (yet) had anyone else report this to me, so I'd suspect it was a local issue that led to you not having the right file there... | 02:42 |
| desrt | BenC; there are serial-ata changes even. very odd. | 02:42 |
| BenC | they must be tracking the scsi git | 02:43 |
| mdz | infinity: I've done nothing with it but normal upgrades through linux-meta, and this has happened twice since 2.6.15 | 02:43 |
| desrt | BenC; is there a way i can checkout the source as it was at -8 release and then the source at -9 and diff them? | 02:43 |
| BenC | try the for-linus branch | 02:43 |
| BenC | desrt: hold a sec | 02:43 |
| infinity | mdz: Great. Then either you really are alone, or no one else is bothering to report bugs about this and I've just been lucky enough to not have it happen here. | 02:43 |
| desrt | k. i'm just reviewing a patch right now. i'll be a minute anyway :) | 02:44 |
| mdz | infinity: perhaps it's related to the fact that packages other than the kernel are invoking it now | 02:44 |
| infinity | mdz: I assume purging the kernel and reinstalling it magically makes it come back. | 02:44 |
| === mpt [n=mpt@203-167-187-77.dsl.clear.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | not sure; haven't tried that | 02:44 |
| mdz | I will try a reconfigure first | 02:44 |
| infinity | mdz: Packages other than the kernel invoking it is the whole reason why that file is there (and why initramfs-tools needs to "own" the image) | 02:44 |
| BenC | desrt: try git-diff-tree -p 2.6.15-8.10 2.6.15-9.11 > foo.diff | 02:45 |
| BenC | that will diff the entire tree, but you should be able to pull the ieee1394 stuff out of that | 02:45 |
| mdz | infinity: hmm? why should it care who is invoking it? I thought the file was there to support local modifications to initramfs | 02:45 |
| infinity | BenC: Have you seen or heard of this yet? (kernels getting installed with an initramfs that doesn't appear to be "owned" by initramfs-tools correctly)? | 02:45 |
| mdz | infinity: (which I don't find to be a valid use case, by the way) | 02:45 |
| mdz | anyone hand-hacking their initramfs can also point grub to a different pathname | 02:45 |
| infinity | mdz: Well, the file is there to make sure the one we're updating is our own, but yes, same thing. | 02:46 |
| desrt | BenC; running | 02:46 |
| mdz | I think it would be perfectly reasonable to disable this complexity entirely and just do it | 02:46 |
| infinity | mdz: We could remove that sanity check entirely and your problem would go away, but I'm not sure how many people would cry about such a change. | 02:46 |
| desrt | my what a big diff you have | 02:46 |
| mdz | infinity: I would be amazed if anyone cried | 02:47 |
| mdz | it's not documented as far as I know | 02:47 |
| infinity | mdz: I imagine most of the crying would be in Debian, not Ubuntu. So I'd be happy to make the change in our tree. | 02:47 |
| infinity | Our users aren't that low-level, most of the time. | 02:47 |
| mdz | infinity: aha, found the problem | 02:48 |
| mdz | an old kernel-img.conf with ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs | 02:48 |
| mdz | from before we switched over the official kernels | 02:48 |
| mdz | so it gets generated correctly the first time and never thereafter | 02:49 |
| infinity | Ahh. | 02:49 |
| infinity | That would be a problem only you, jbailey, and ogra would have. | 02:49 |
| infinity | I can't think of too many people who played with that setting manually before we switched kernel-package. | 02:49 |
| mdz | still, I don't think it's necessary to treat initramfses as conffiles | 02:50 |
| infinity | In that case, I'm inclined to say the feature is working as expected. Custom ramdisk= stuff shouldn't be overwritten willy-nilly. | 02:50 |
| infinity | (Though, I suppose custom stuff really should use a different filename, if people don't want it touched) | 02:51 |
| === infinity waffles. | ||
| mdz | anyone who tested the early thin client stuff would also have this problem within the client chroot | 02:51 |
| infinity | Alright, I'll disable the check for now, and let update-initramfs overwrite mkinitramfs stuff. | 02:51 |
| mdz | thanks; I'm not worried about the kernel-img.conf thing really, but I think that overall it's more reasonable to have update-initramfs always generate a new image | 02:52 |
| infinity | In the world of "user-friendly" versus "what I think is technically correct", the former probably wins here. | 02:52 |
| infinity | I'll put a blinking comment in there, though, so Max doesn't blindly sync the change to Debian. I can imagine most Debianers would be on my side on this one (users be damned, the feature is right!) | 02:53 |
| mdz | mkinitrd never behaved this way | 02:54 |
| infinity | We never regenerated initrds with mkinitrd either. | 02:54 |
| infinity | Only by hand. | 02:54 |
| mdz | eh? they were regenerated during kernel upgrades | 02:54 |
| infinity | I think it's the automation here that scares people. | 02:54 |
| infinity | Oh, I suppose they were, at that. | 02:55 |
| infinity | Kay. Fixing. | 02:55 |
| infinity | Unfortunately, we use that state dir to get the version list too, but I can hack around that. | 02:55 |
| infinity | Or only allow arbitrary overwrites for the running kernel. | 02:55 |
| infinity | Or, I can compromise. Instead of refusing to act, I'll just print a warning and plow through. | 02:58 |

| daniels | just as a heads up, nvidia and fglrx will possibly be broken indefinitely from later today onwards; put xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.1-0ubuntu1 on hold if this doesn't sound like a winning idea. hth k thx bye. | 04:38 |
| psusi | lol | 04:39 |
| LaserJock | daniels: what does indefinitely mean? Like for a few weeks or forever or you really don't know? | 04:39 |
| daniels | LaserJock: until they rebuild against a newer xorg-server, which may be never | 04:39 |
| LaserJock | hmmm, bummer | 04:40 |
| psusi | hernel hacking question... this pktcdvd driver requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to set up and tear down devices... this apparently is because it takes the device nr as a parameter so no other security checks are performed | 04:41 |
| psusi | would it be a good idea to modify that to instead take an fd in the ioctl, and accept it from non root users if they have write access? | 04:41 |
| infinity | daniels: Joy! | 04:41 |
| daniels | hooray for unavoidable ABI breakage | 04:42 |
| infinity | "unavoidable"? | 04:42 |
| infinity | Would it not be best (for dapper, at any rate) to keep our X packages vaguely in line with what the upstream 6.9/7.0 release called release versions, since that's what 3rd party folk will most likely build against? | 04:43 |

| daniels | infinity: hopefully we can convince nvidia/ati to build against the xorg-server 1.1.0 that I'm sure will be released sometime before dapper | 04:45 |

| infinity | psusi: In general, yes. If they absolutely can't be avoided, then... | 04:52 |
| psusi | well, I've got two choices here... make pktsetup suid so hald can call it... or patch the kernel so it doesn't require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for the ioctl | 04:53 |
| infinity | What is pktsetup? | 04:54 |
| psusi | making pktsetup suid and not world executable, and owned by the cdrom group would be easiest | 04:54 |
| infinity | And why does non-root need to run it? | 04:54 |
| psusi | infinity, a program in the udftools package that controls the kernel pktcdvd driver to associate virtual read/write devices with cdrom devices | 04:54 |
| mjg59 | psusi: Or we can sort out the hal root callout stuff | 04:54 |
| psusi | non root needs to run it because hal runs as non root | 04:54 |
| psusi | mjg59, well, it's sorted.... hal doesn't run as root ;) | 04:55 |
| mjg59 | psusi: No, but hal needs to execute stuff as root | 04:55 |
| mjg59 | That's a requirement before dapper | 04:55 |
| psusi | hrm.... another possibility is to add rules for the hal account to be able to sudo specific commands | 04:55 |

| psusi | how come? | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | sudoers is a conffile | 04:56 |
| psusi | so? | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | We can't rewrite it | 04:56 |
| psusi | why not? | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | Because it's a conffile | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | Policy forbids it | 04:56 |
| psusi | ok... patch sudo so it uses rules from a non conf file we can write to ;) | 04:57 |
| infinity | That doesn't make it any less sick. | 04:57 |
| psusi | why is it so sick? | 04:57 |
| psusi | you need a suid root program to gate the privs hal needs... that's what sudo does | 04:58 |
| mjg59 | Or we could do what upstream want to do, which is to add a separate daemon running as root that listens for requests from hal over dbus | 04:58 |
| psusi | why is that any better? | 04:58 |
| mjg59 | Because it's the way upstream want to do it | 04:59 |
| psusi | it certainly is more complicated... so what advantages does it have? | 04:59 |
| psusi | well if upstream smokes crack, do you? ;) | 04:59 |
| mjg59 | I don't find it any less offensive than any other solution, and it avoids the wheel being reinvented | 04:59 |
| mjg59 | Uh, more offensive | 05:00 |
| psusi | writing a new daemon from scratch using dbus and who knows what is complex... complex = high probability of bugs... bugs = possible root exploit | 05:00 |
| === jinty [n=jinty@205.134.224.215] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | It's not complex | 05:00 |
| psusi | isn't dbus somewhat complex? | 05:00 |
| mjg59 | There's already dbus-using stuff running as root | 05:00 |
| mjg59 | That's somewhat unavoidable | 05:00 |
| psusi | well, if you can't avoid it you can't avoid it... but if you can, it's a good idea to keep it simple | 05:01 |
| === freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.190.65.9] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | So what we actually end up with is a 20 line app plus some generic dbus code | 05:01 |
| psusi | and sudo is prety darn simple | 05:01 |
| psusi | it also can probably be implemented before upstream gets around to writing this new daemon ;) | 05:02 |
| psusi | i.e. in time for dapper | 05:02 |
| mjg59 | No, the idea is that either me or pitti write it for upstream | 05:04 |
| mjg59 | That way it gets done :) | 05:04 |
| mjg59 | If all else fails, yeah, we go with some other hacky solution | 05:04 |
| psusi | hehe.... | 05:04 |
| psusi | if you really don't want to use sudo, you could just write another gatekeeper program that would be suid and execute only to hal | 05:05 |
| infinity | That's what the daemon would be (though not suid) | 05:07 |
| infinity | Is it just the "pass messages over big, scary, dbus" part you have a problem with? | 05:07 |
| infinity | Cause that's unavoidable at this stage. Every second system management tool written for GNOME (hi, NetworkManager!) is using that daemon<->dbus<->frontend approach. | 05:08 |
| psusi | infinity, it's more complex to send messages via dbus ( can't that be inter machine? ) to have things run as root, rather than executing a suid wrapper directly | 05:08 |
| daniels | (which is actually a good approach) | 05:09 |
| psusi | and all else being equal, less complexity is good | 05:09 |
| daniels | yes, but less suid is good also | 05:09 |
| lifeless | psusi: but its not all equal | 05:09 |
| infinity | Overall complexity goes down as more people use the same approach and dbus gets more and more audited. | 05:09 |
| lifeless | psusi: perhaps get it to be all equal, then you can argue the dbus component | 05:09 |
| psusi | it's still more complex than just executing the thing you need directly | 05:09 |
| infinity | Whereas hacking sudo to do weird things would be Ubuntu-specific, with no real external auditing. | 05:10 |
| psusi | true... but a simple suid wrapper program would be easily audited as it would only require like 10 lines of code | 05:10 |
| psusi | with no complex deps | 05:10 |
| daniels | yes, but then when upstream goes and does the dbus thing anyway, you'll have to throw that way and deal with the dbus stuff regardless | 05:11 |
| daniels | so what's the point? | 05:11 |
| psusi | lol... I did a nohup nice 7z over an hour ago to recompress this full system backup for the fun of it... .tar.gz was 796M, .tar.7z is 546M.... wow! | 05:11 |

| infinity | dbus getting you this sort of stuff for free, even if it is "complex" is a good thing. | 05:14 |
| psusi | true.... | 05:14 |
| psusi | well.... I guess I'll leave it to pitti and mjg59... and in the mean time I'll just make pktsetup suid as a work around | 05:15 |

| freestone | Mithrandir: Hi - I was on as 'den' last friday when you got me the iso for the firewire fix. I got your emails. Thanks for making a new iso. I'm wondering if you can make a small iso - like you or someone (infinity?) was saying was for just a base system.l Maybe 10-50MB. Would that be possible? | 06:32 |
| freestone | Mithrandir: I probably have to log off for a short while - I'll try to come back in about 10 min, If I don't, it would be great if you would email me your answer. Thanks! | 06:34 |
| Mithrandir | freestone: yes, I can do that. Note that it won't work as a live system, just as a test to see if the full CD will work. | 06:35 |
| psusi | hrm... that's interesting... looks like the hal has a race condition with its callouts... it isn't initialized enough yet to accept incoming connections from things like hal-set-property when it spawns the callout... have the callout sleep for a few seconds, and life is good | 06:35 |
| Mithrandir | freestone: I'll have it ready in a few hours, it's still very early morning for me here and I don't have the setup to make CDs at home. | 06:35 |
| freestone | Great | 06:35 |
| Mithrandir | freestone: I'll drop you a mail when it's ready. | 06:36 |
| Mithrandir | (unless you're around on IRC then) | 06:36 |

| Mithrandir | freestone: Ben Collins does most of the kernel work. He's a paid employee. | 06:42 |
| freestone | Mithrandir: One reason I ask is cause there seems like there might be some bug with the "external disk drive" code, which causes a disk to get disconnected even during a file copy. & I'm wondering if someone on here would be the oerson responsible for that type of code. | 06:42 |

| csj | Mithrandir, no, I remaster the filesystem.cloop now | 11:08 |
| csj | Mithrandir, should shadowconfig on or off by default? | 11:09 |
| Mithrandir | csj: please do, since this should work (and worked with casper from bzr about five minutes ago for me) | 11:09 |
| Mithrandir | csj: that's done through user-setup | 11:09 |

| Mithrandir | csj: that, or just install dapper in the live image you have and then pull out /boot/initrd* | 11:12 |
| csj | Mithrandir, should I copy out vmlinuz,too ? | 11:13 |
| Mithrandir | csj: that should be the same version as is on the live cd already, but it won't do any harm. | 11:15 |

| ogra_ibook | how do you define "slower" ? | 01:40 |

| Mithrandir | blue-frog: quite possibly, feel free to file a bug in bugzilla | 01:44 |

| seb128 | jbailey: oh, is there some profile? or you just set a nickname and pick some chans at every startup? | 02:06 |
| seb128 | jbailey: right, I've the <none> too with no autoconnect | 02:06 |

| infinity | seb128: Really?... When I start and pick a network, it connects to it... I only have <none> while the network in question can't be connected to. | 02:07 |
| koke | jbailey: any ideas on which's the best option for fixing that in dapper | 02:07 |
| jbailey | seb128: I have server profiles that I defined. So 00Home Servers and 00Ubuntu Servers are in the list, and I just double click on the one I want. | 02:08 |
| infinity | seb128: Which happened cause I picked a network that wouldn't let me on. :) | 02:08 |
| koke | we are working on a derivative, but versioning glibc... not a good idea | 02:08 |
| jbailey | koke: Is the dapper one in that bug report, or is there a different one? | 02:08 |
| seb128 | jbailey: oh, oki | 02:08 |
| koke | jbailey: the dapper one is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=5632 | 02:08 |
| jbailey | seb128: It means I still get all my automatic nickserv'ing and all that with a minimum of hassle. | 02:08 |
| koke | but I haven't tested yet | 02:08 |
| seb128 | infinity: when there is no autoconnect it puts a <none> by default here, and I've connected a server it has opened a new entry ... | 02:09 |
| jbailey | seb128: There's alot that I like. The server list being on the left out of my field of vision is nice, and the "random conversation" icon doesn't pull my eye at all. | 02:09 |
| infinity | seb128: Oh, weird. | 02:09 |
| jbailey | seb128: Having the reduced window for clicking on links is also lovely. | 02:09 |
| jbailey | koke: Ah, which derivative? | 02:09 |
| seb128 | jbailey: you mean the URL plugin? | 02:10 |
| === ulaas [n=ulaas@81.215.140.225] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jbailey | seb128: The old x-chat did that until recently, and then they started replacing the NULL window with the first server openned. | 02:10 |
| jbailey | seb128: They changed tht in the last month, I think. | 02:10 |
| jbailey | seb128: I have no checkboxes in any of my plugins. | 02:11 |
| jbailey | seb128: Since there's no description of what they do, I didn't want to enable any of them. | 02:11 |
| seb128 | jbailey: what is "the reduced window for clicking on links" ? | 02:11 |
| jbailey | <koke> jbailey: the dapper one is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=5632 | 02:11 |
| dexem | jbailey: we are working on Tirwal Linux (a small spanish local distribution). We are using ubuntu and guadalinex as our starting point | 02:11 |
| jbailey | seb128: When I put my mouse over that URL, it underlines, like in old x-chat. | 02:12 |
| seb128 | auto-away set you away when gnome-screensaver starts | 02:12 |
| seb128 | ah, ok | 02:12 |
| jbailey | seb128: When Iright-click, I only have "Open in browser", and "Copy URL". | 02:12 |
| seb128 | notification is a notify area stuff | 02:12 |
| jbailey | seb128: Which is very nice, thanks. It even correctly defaults to ephy for me, so it's good. | 02:12 |
| seb128 | osd uses libnotify to open bubbles when somebody talks to you on a chan or in query | 02:12 |
| jbailey | dexem: Nice! Did you just fork glibc for the locales stuff? | 02:13 |
| jbailey | seb128: Ahahah, really? | 02:13 |
| === jbailey tries. | ||
| jbailey | I wonder if my screensaver still hangs my machine. | 02:13 |
| dexem | jbailey: Well... we haven't decided anything yet. We have discovered the problem (and its solution) today | 02:13 |

| jbailey | koke: Right. More to let you know that you can sidestep that pain in the future. =) | 02:16 |
| jbailey | koke: Having to touch glibc just to fix minor locale issues is a bit excessive. | 02:17 |
| koke | jbailey: yep, but having calendar starting on Sunday is not good for us | 02:17 |
| jbailey | koke: It would be easy enough to update in Breezy, but that's my concern - that people may have worked around the problem. I'd hate to have calendaring or scheduling start to go wrong for people just because we fixed a bug that's been there for many years. | 02:17 |
| raphink | anyone has an idea what a problem linked to the ^ key system-wide might be linked to? | 02:18 |
| jbailey | seb128: Funky popout bubble. | 02:18 |
| koke | jbailey: according to the gtk cvs logs it's likely to have been made visible around september | 02:18 |
| raphink | not only it does not work properly, but when I type ^+e for example, several times, I get nothing ; but then if I try to use the backspace key, it deletes the prompt! | 02:18 |
| seb128 | jbailey: yeah :) | 02:18 |

| seb128 | that's a preference option? | 02:36 |
| jbailey | HiddenWolf: That just means enlarging my fonts even further.. Or finding my glasses. I haven't seen them in over a year. =) | 02:36 |
| HiddenWolf | =) | 02:37 |
| jbailey | seb128: There's a comma separated list of words to use for highlights in one of the preferences boxes. | 02:37 |
| sivang | jbailey: you need anew pair then! | 02:37 |
| jbailey | seb128: I'm more arguing that if other apps are using flashing panel button for urgent notification, perhaps this one should too. | 02:37 |
| jbailey | seb128: Which is also what old x-chat did. | 02:37 |
| jbailey | I think it's arguable that someone talking to you is as urgent as the fact that I need to type in a username/password for a web page/ | 02:38 |
| seb128 | jbailey: I'm not sure that everything using the urgent flag is nice | 02:38 |
| seb128 | jbailey: gaim/xchat which do that are not GNOME apps ... :) | 02:39 |
| jbailey | seb128: Right. I often wish that other things wouldn't. =) | 02:39 |
| seb128 | the GNOME way would rather be to use the notification area | 02:39 |
| jbailey | seb128: But interactive conversations do tend to require urgent response. =) | 02:39 |
| jbailey | Ah okay. | 02:39 |
| jbailey | So more that things are migrating to the notification area. | 02:39 |
| seb128 | "'notification area", it's in the name :p | 02:39 |
| jbailey | seb128: True. Although it generally seems to be a holding place for things rather than a notification area. | 02:40 |
| jbailey | seb128: (thinking rhythmbox, evo, gaim here...) | 02:40 |
| seb128 | right, apps tend to abuse of it instead of using applets | 02:40 |
| jbailey | i thought everyone was told not to use applets awhile back. | 02:41 |
| HiddenWolf | perhaps it will change if the applets system gets overhauled, like was planned an age ago and now possibly revived by the bonobo-free port of panel+applets | 02:42 |
| seb128 | jbailey: I doubt of that, people were told to not abuse the notification area for applets job though :) | 02:43 |
| jbailey | seb128: =) | 02:43 |

| seb128 | sladen: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323064 | 02:47 |
| seb128 | there is a patch upstream too | 02:47 |
| seb128 | but according to the comment they want to drop inotify code from gam_server since gnome-vfs does inotify directly now | 02:47 |
| seb128 | I've to patch/rebuild gnome-menus to use gnome-vfs API instead of gam one | 02:48 |

| tseng | hm ok | 02:51 |
| seb128 | gnome-vfs was using gam_server before | 02:52 |
| seb128 | that's why everything use it | 02:52 |

The bug is due to gam_server but maybe that change for the panel is correct anyway, if you want to have a look on it | 02:54 |
| === theine [n=theine@fw2.nbi.dk] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| sladen | seb128: I think there maybe two bugs; one that gamin is sending the notify; and the other is that gnome-panel/menu.c is hosing the menu and then scheduling an update (rather than getting the function doing the update to take care of the destorying). I approached that patch from the second PoV | 02:55 |
| ulaas | seb128, i had that issue on my laptop. which was dapper as well | 02:55 |
| seb128 | ulaas: the issue is well known and due to /var/lib/menu-xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu not beeing here (which breaks /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu) | 02:56 |
| seb128 | sladen: I've pointed it to vuntz who is upstream for gnome-panel, let's wait on his comment | 02:56 |

| sladen | okay. I just couldn't see a separate applet called gnome-menus (which is what I was expecting) | 03:23 |
| Keybuk | mvo: ping? | 03:23 |
| sladen | could it be that handle_gmenu_tree_changed() is getting called because it _itself_ changes the contents of the menu (by deleteing it) and therefore schedules a signal, which calls itself, ... et al | 03:24 |
| vuntz_ | sladen: I hope not: handle_gmenu_tree_changed() deletes the contents of the menu, not the .desktop files | 03:25 |

| ogra_ibook | mdz, Keybuk approved ltsp sound, do you want to merge it or should i merge and upload ? | 06:08 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: true, but we don't get it set in the console (at all) yet. | 06:08 |
| mdz | we can't do too much better non-interactively; I think selecting locale and keymap both from the boot loader would probably result in too many menu items | 06:08 |

| Kamion | even if we didn't, though, the keymap menu would be smaller than the locale menu is now | 06:17 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: excellent. I am going to further investigate what's wrong with keymapper tomorrow, I think. | 06:17 |
| Kamion | so I don't think it's a big deal; I'm happy to hide keymap behind "Other Options" if we don't want to display it by default | 06:17 |
| Kamion | or perhaps only show the reduced set of keymaps until you select "Other Options", or something like that | 06:17 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: that'd be really nice, since we will have people who want their computer to speak mongolian to then, while they do in fact have an italian keyboard. | 06:18 |

| Keybuk | hunger: did you unchmod it? | 06:44 |
| Keybuk | pryzbyj: because you were doing it in postinst, and the md5sum of the old configuration file is gone by then | 06:44 |

| psusi | Burgwork: that's for windows isn't it? not usable for installing ubuntu | 08:06 |
| psusi | can't use the existing ext windows drivers because they don't preserve posix semantics | 08:06 |
| Burgwork | psusi, it allows you to create and copy the filesystem for completely within windows | 08:06 |
| psusi | you'd have to manipulate the block device directly | 08:06 |
| Burgwork | psusi, but I agree with you that it is an icky mess to implement | 08:07 |
| psusi | Burgwork: it doesn't preserve posix semantics... | 08:07 |

| === siretart [i=siretart@ubuntu/member/siretart] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | mdz: most of the patches that are in patch-o-matic are crack. | 09:18 |
| fabbione | they are not upstream because not ready to be in the kernel | 09:18 |
| fabbione | but having the support for userland is almost costless | 09:18 |
| fabbione | i think the iptables maintainer has been adding all that stuff just because it's partially already there | 09:19 |
| trappist | the recent patch, for one, has moved upstream, but the patch-o-matic addition in userspace isn't in agreement with the new kernel code, so it doesn't work | 09:20 |
| === pvanhoof [n=pvanhoof@d54C0FBBD.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | trappist: that's not what i said. | 09:21 |
| fabbione | there is more than just "recent patch" | 09:21 |
| trappist | recent is the only one I've taken a close look at in dapper | 09:22 |
| fabbione | the issue imho are all the other crack modules that upstream is not taking because not ready yet | 09:22 |
| fabbione | exactly | 09:22 |
| fabbione | an analisys of one module can't talk for all the others | 09:22 |
| fabbione | you need to look at all of them | 09:22 |
| fabbione | one by one | 09:22 |
| trappist | dropping the whole patch-o-matic thing would be fine, but we're still building the userspace iptables against an old enough kernel tree that a lot of stuff that now exists in the kernel won't work because userspace doesn't know about it, or is compiled against an obsolete version of it | 09:23 |
| fabbione | do you realize that iptables are in sync between 2.4 and 2.6? | 09:24 |
| trappist | I realize that the same iptables source will build against both trees, if that's what you mean, with a very different list of features | 09:25 |
| fabbione | trappist: the basic and most important features are all there in both trees | 09:27 |
| fabbione | the fancy modules might not be | 09:28 |
| trappist | you can build a functional firewall with the iptables in dapper. but quite a lot of fancy features have made their way into the linus tree that we don't have because we don't build it against a modern kernel. I might never have noticed, but there's a bug filed against one of those features, and I took an interest. | 09:30 |
| fabbione | do you have an example of such ipt_ that's in the kernel and not fully supported by our iptables userland? | 09:31 |
| BenC | psusi: which one is that? | 09:31 |
| trappist | just recent, the one in the bug (16831) | 09:31 |
| fabbione | trappist: you saw one bug, that has been fixed in an -updates. that's all you know | 09:31 |
| fabbione | and the problem was a path to the kernel headers | 09:31 |
| psusi | BenC: the pktcdvd and udf fixes | 09:32 |
| fabbione | that has been fixed | 09:32 |
| Riddell | Mithrandir: today's kubuntu live CD gives me "user not known to underlying authentication module" is that known? | 09:32 |
| trappist | fabbione: it hasn't been fixed. the file that was missing is now there, but a rule with -m recent still throws an error. | 09:32 |
| BenC | psusi: I replied I believe | 09:32 |
| fabbione | Riddell: kdebase is FTBFS :) | 09:32 |
| BenC | psusi: my main question was, does it break current userspace at all | 09:32 |
| fabbione | trappist: ./kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_recent.ko | 09:33 |
| fabbione | trappist: this is from .12 | 09:33 |
| Riddell | fabbione: yeah, I know | 09:33 |
| fabbione | trappist: and iptables Userland has been fixed for that | 09:33 |
| Riddell | where is daniels when you need him | 09:33 |
| fabbione | trappist: did you upgrade your system? | 09:33 |
| trappist | yes | 09:33 |
| Mithrandir | Riddell: what's the date of it? | 09:33 |
| Riddell | 2006-01-10 | 09:33 |
| Mithrandir | Riddell: I thought I fixed that bug before then, bug me if it's not ok tomorrow | 09:35 |
| psusi | BenC: nope... it just fixes a bug where udf wasn't saving the owning uid/gid of a file to the disc, fixes a bug where pktcdvd overflowed values > 128 for the packet length from the track info on disc, and allowed a larger maximum packet length | 09:35 |
| Riddell | Mithrandir: ok, will do | 09:35 |
| Mithrandir | Riddell: also, make sure that kubuntu-meta is installable. If that breaks, you might get random old initrds which may or may not work in interesting ways. | 09:35 |
| fabbione | trappist: works fine here | 09:36 |
| fabbione | root@trider-g7:~ # iptables -A FORWARD -m recent --name badguy --rcheck --seconds 60 -j DROP | 09:36 |
| fabbione | root@trider-g7:~ # | 09:36 |
| Riddell | Mithrandir: looks to be fine | 09:36 |
| fabbione | Riddell: afaik imake has been replaced. i think you only need to change your B-D | 09:37 |
| fabbione | anyway.. time to head offline | 09:37 |
| fabbione | good night everybody | 09:37 |
| Mithrandir | Riddell: good, make sure to keep it that way. :-) I know ubuntu-meta was broken this morning, so we had an extra run for me to debug some stuff. | 09:37 |
| Mithrandir | Riddell: that was python-netcdf, so I imagine kubuntu was broken too | 09:37 |

| BenC | Nafallo: yeah, from breezy | 11:16 |
| Nafallo | BenC: nothing on dapper since the UP/SMP-kernels became one? | 11:16 |
| BenC | Nafallo: nothing specific to amd64-k8, no | 11:18 |
| BenC | Nafallo: is it reproducible? | 11:18 |
| Nafallo | oki. I've had them since I installed the test-kernel and later the real deal. I don't know what else to blame. | 11:19 |
| Nafallo | well, it's still happening daily if, but I have no idea how to make it happen :-P. | 11:19 |
| Nafallo | s/\ if// | 11:20 |
| BenC | Nafallo: have you been able to get a backtrace of any kind? | 11:20 |

| Nafallo | nope. right of a sudden things just freezes and I have to kill the laptop with holding down power. | 11:21 |
| BenC | tried sysrq? | 11:21 |
| Nafallo | nope | 11:21 |
| BenC | can't really do much unless I have some sort of back trace | 11:22 |
| Nafallo | I should probably read about that. first time the kernel freezes for me on this laptop :-). | 11:22 |
| Nafallo | so never needed to even use that :-P | 11:22 |
| BenC | There's a page on the wiki about using it | 11:22 |
| Nafallo | oh! kewl :-) | 11:23 |

| Tm_T | does gnash (http://www.fsf.org/news/gnash.html) be included to ubuntu? | 11:33 |
| HiddenWolf | Tm_T, it's just out man, give everyone a few days to check it out and make up his mind. | 11:34 |
| Tm_T | HiddenWolf: yes, my point was to raise interest ;) | 11:34 |
| HiddenWolf | Tm_T, it was sent as a global notice to everyone on freenode. | 11:35 |
| HiddenWolf | Tm_T, I'm *quite* sure people know. | 11:35 |
| HiddenWolf | And the first request is on the mailing list too. :) | 11:35 |
| Tm_T | ...oh, true, I'm bit slow today | 11:35 |
| Tm_T | HiddenWolf: =) | 11:35 |
| ajmitch | putting new software requests in the right places helps too | 11:35 |
| HiddenWolf | =) | 11:35 |
| HiddenWolf | That too. | 11:35 |
| Tm_T | ajmitch: true, I'm not requesting | 11:35 |
| ajmitch | we get too many requests dropped in the motu channel & then left | 11:35 |
| Tm_T | ajmitch: =) | 11:36 |
| Tm_T | ajmitch: yes, asking but not helping with it, hurts sometimes | 11:36 |
