[02:41] Oh. That's special. Did /var/lib/initramfs-tools get cleaned on your machine at some point? [02:41] kernel-packages (and hence the linux kernels) have been "correctly" creating initramfs (and populating that directory) for ages... [02:42] desrt: there's scsi merges in the ieee1394 git?

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. [02:44] k. i'm just reviewing a patch right now. i'll be a minute anyway :) [02:44] infinity: perhaps it's related to the fact that packages other than the kernel are invoking it now [02:44] mdz: I assume purging the kernel and reinstalling it magically makes it come back. === mpt [n=mpt@203-167-187-77.dsl.clear.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:44] not sure; haven't tried that [02:44] I will try a reconfigure first [02:44] 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) [02:45] desrt: try git-diff-tree -p 2.6.15-8.10 2.6.15-9.11 > foo.diff [02:45] that will diff the entire tree, but you should be able to pull the ieee1394 stuff out of that [02:45] infinity: hmm? why should it care who is invoking it? I thought the file was there to support local modifications to initramfs [02:45] 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] infinity: (which I don't find to be a valid use case, by the way) [02:45] anyone hand-hacking their initramfs can also point grub to a different pathname [02:46] mdz: Well, the file is there to make sure the one we're updating is our own, but yes, same thing. [02:46] BenC; running [02:46] I think it would be perfectly reasonable to disable this complexity entirely and just do it [02:46] 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] my what a big diff you have [02:47] infinity: I would be amazed if anyone cried [02:47] it's not documented as far as I know [02:47] 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] Our users aren't that low-level, most of the time. [02:48] infinity: aha, found the problem [02:48] an old kernel-img.conf with ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs [02:48] from before we switched over the official kernels [02:49] so it gets generated correctly the first time and never thereafter [02:49] Ahh. [02:49] That would be a problem only you, jbailey, and ogra would have. [02:49] I can't think of too many people who played with that setting manually before we switched kernel-package. [02:50] still, I don't think it's necessary to treat initramfses as conffiles [02:50] In that case, I'm inclined to say the feature is working as expected. Custom ramdisk= stuff shouldn't be overwritten willy-nilly. [02:51] (Though, I suppose custom stuff really should use a different filename, if people don't want it touched) === infinity waffles. [02:51] anyone who tested the early thin client stuff would also have this problem within the client chroot [02:51] Alright, I'll disable the check for now, and let update-initramfs overwrite mkinitramfs stuff. [02:52] 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] In the world of "user-friendly" versus "what I think is technically correct", the former probably wins here. [02:53] 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!) [02:54] mkinitrd never behaved this way [02:54] We never regenerated initrds with mkinitrd either. [02:54] Only by hand. [02:54] eh? they were regenerated during kernel upgrades [02:54] I think it's the automation here that scares people. [02:55] Oh, I suppose they were, at that. [02:55] Kay. Fixing. [02:55] Unfortunately, we use that state dir to get the version list too, but I can hack around that. [02:55] Or only allow arbitrary overwrites for the running kernel. [02:58] Or, I can compromise. Instead of refusing to act, I'll just print a warning and plow through. === infinity edits.

If they absolutely can't be avoided, then... [04:53] 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 [04:54] What is pktsetup? [04:54] making pktsetup suid and not world executable, and owned by the cdrom group would be easiest [04:54] And why does non-root need to run it? [04:54] infinity, a program in the udftools package that controls the kernel pktcdvd driver to associate virtual read/write devices with cdrom devices [04:54] psusi: Or we can sort out the hal root callout stuff [04:54] non root needs to run it because hal runs as non root [04:55] mjg59, well, it's sorted.... hal doesn't run as root ;) [04:55] psusi: No, but hal needs to execute stuff as root [04:55] That's a requirement before dapper [04:55] hrm.... another possibility is to add rules for the hal account to be able to sudo specific commands [04:56] Ngh. [04:56] While that work work, it's also less than ideal [04:56] how come? [04:56] sudoers is a conffile [04:56] so? [04:56] We can't rewrite it [04:56] why not? [04:56] Because it's a conffile [04:56] Policy forbids it [04:57] ok... patch sudo so it uses rules from a non conf file we can write to ;) [04:57] That doesn't make it any less sick. [04:57] why is it so sick? [04:58] you need a suid root program to gate the privs hal needs... that's what sudo does [04:58] 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] why is that any better? [04:59] Because it's the way upstream want to do it [04:59] it certainly is more complicated... so what advantages does it have? [04:59] well if upstream smokes crack, do you? ;) [04:59] I don't find it any less offensive than any other solution, and it avoids the wheel being reinvented [05:00] Uh, more offensive [05:00] writing a new daemon from scratch using dbus and who knows what is complex... complex = high probability of bugs... bugs = possible root exploit === jinty [n=jinty@205.134.224.215] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:00] It's not complex [05:00] isn't dbus somewhat complex? [05:00] There's already dbus-using stuff running as root [05:00] That's somewhat unavoidable [05:01] 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 === freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.190.65.9] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:01] So what we actually end up with is a 20 line app plus some generic dbus code [05:01] and sudo is prety darn simple [05:02] it also can probably be implemented before upstream gets around to writing this new daemon ;) [05:02] i.e. in time for dapper [05:04] No, the idea is that either me or pitti write it for upstream [05:04] That way it gets done :) [05:04] If all else fails, yeah, we go with some other hacky solution [05:04] hehe.... [05:05] 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 [05:07] That's what the daemon would be (though not suid) [05:07] Is it just the "pass messages over big, scary, dbus" part you have a problem with? [05:08] 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] 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 [05:09] (which is actually a good approach) [05:09] and all else being equal, less complexity is good [05:09] yes, but less suid is good also [05:09] psusi: but its not all equal [05:09] Overall complexity goes down as more people use the same approach and dbus gets more and more audited. [05:09] psusi: perhaps get it to be all equal, then you can argue the dbus component [05:09] it's still more complex than just executing the thing you need directly [05:10] Whereas hacking sudo to do weird things would be Ubuntu-specific, with no real external auditing. [05:10] true... but a simple suid wrapper program would be easily audited as it would only require like 10 lines of code [05:10] with no complex deps [05:11] 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] so what's the point? [05:11] 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! === mr-russ [n=mr-russ@CPE-203-45-4-40.vic.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:12] daniels, well, you won't have to if upstream sees the light and just uses your simpler method [05:12] psusi: so go talk to upstream === OculusAquilae [n=oculus@p548D3D93.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:13] psusi: odds are stunningly low [05:13] they are really hell bent on dbus eh?

Would that be possible? [06:34] 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! [06:35] 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.

[12:09] carlos: is .pot upload broken on rosetta atm? xchat-gnome upstream asked because it doesn't work fomr him for a week (OOPS page) [12:10] nikol: please use #ubuntu for user questions etc [12:10] seb128, yes, it's broken but also fixed I hope the fix will be applied today to production [12:11] carlos: thanks === raphink [n=raphink@raphink.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === nikol [n=giwrgos_@athedsl-23522.otenet.gr] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [12:14] seb128, btw, the suggestions are not showing fuzzy messages anymore [12:14] well, when the patch is applied on production. [12:14] I hope it will happen today. [12:15] cool [12:15] <\sh> yahoo...the patch works...qt is fixed :) [12:18] \sh: does it need to be applied to qt4-x11, too? [12:18] seb128, dholbach: ping?

[12:19] <\sh> or wait... [12:19] seb128, dholbach: would it be possible to patch gaim so that it doesn't start more than once? It's really annoying if you start it twice by mistake that it restarts all the connections === Simira [n=rpGirl@118.84-48-121.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:19] \sh: ok, because I've merged 4.1.0-1ubuntu1 (it just finished building) [12:19] <\sh> crimsun: if you want to have a look: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/immodule-qt/2005-June/000732.html [12:19] ok [12:19] <\sh> crimsun: there is a test app as well...you can try to test the qt4 stuff with this test application if the KeyRelease event works with applied immodule patch === ulaas [n=ulaas@81.215.140.225] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:20] <\sh> crimsun: if not, you have to apply the patch from this guy [12:20] fabbione: seems a reasonable request, could you open a bug about that? :) [12:20] seb128: sure [12:20] thanks [12:21] new usplash is nothing but black. is that ok? should i file ? [12:21] ulaas: ls -l /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so [12:22] /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so -> /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so [12:22] update-alternatives --display usplash-artwork.so === joe_alf [n=joe_alf@pcd649119.netvigator.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:24] usplash-artwork.so - status is auto.

[12:27] infinity, want me to reboot one more time just to be sure? [12:27] hmm, can block devices have labels, not just file systems? [12:28] ulaas: Can you run "update-initramfs -u", tell me if there's no output (if not, good), then reboot again? [12:29] infinity, i did. no output. now rebooting. will get back to you soon === blueyed [n=daniel@pdpc/supporter/active/blueyed] has joined #ubuntu-devel === pappan [n=garbage@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ulaas [n=ulaas@81.215.140.225] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:36] infinity, now worked. do you want me to report further issues with usplash to you? [12:37] ulaas: Filing bugs works for me, but I end up having to care about them. :) [12:38] infinity, ok then first i will try to mention to you. if not available i can file a bug. [12:39] elmo: please sync pstoedit, soap-lite, octave2.1, anjuta, balsa, openbox, wmfire, and rxvt-unicode from Sid, overriding Ubuntu changes.

I'm not quite sure, what else is to be done apart from asking for the sync (which seems ok to me) and removing the old gimpprint source from the archive. === ogra_ibook [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-devel === dexem [n=dani@169.Red-217-127-113.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:58] elmo: it seems the superkaramba source package (which is marked as to be merged) should be nuked since superkaramba is now provided by the kdeutils package === herzi [n=herzi@c206084.adsl.hansenet.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel === pappan [n=garbage@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Gman- [n=gman@nwkea-socks-1.sun.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-devel === csj [n=csj@218-163-174-146.dynamic.hinet.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === blue-frog [n=james@81.56.254.229] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:39] hi guys. want to fill in things I find that goes wrong with dapper but am not sure about where and how i should proceed. For example if i find out that video i810 is slower than in breezy, it's not what we can call a bug or is it? [01:40] how do you define "slower" ? [01:40] 'less fast' [01:40] haha [01:40] boom-tish [01:40] 400K against 1000k with glxgears [01:40] blue-frog: you said the magic word [01:41] blue-frog, how did you get the frame output from glxgears ? [01:41] glxgears -printfps [01:41] in breezy and in dapper [01:42] blue-frog: glxgears is not a benchmark. It's a sample application. [01:43] blue-frog, i am sure you have checked you had dri enable right? [01:43] oh, has daniels changed it back again ? [01:43] former you needed also -iacknowledgethatthisprogramisnobenchmarkofanykind or something like this ... [01:43] ok let's forget video then.. about sonypi failing on a vaio, is that conisedered a bug? [01:43] i wonder why he took it out again [01:44] blue-frog: quite possibly, feel free to file a bug in bugzilla [01:44] it's just am not sure what a bug is, i don't want to start filling plenty of bugs if they are not considered as bugs. don't want to waste your time and mine === BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:48] blue-frog: a bug is a small animal, like an insect. If you like collecting them, you can get a net and get some around, then file them in a book. [01:48] interesting [01:48] ;) [01:49] blue-frog: a bug is a when a program doesn't behave as it should. An example here is sonypi not working on your vaio [01:50] k ty [01:50] or my keyboard not wanting to print ^ accents the right way :@ [01:50] this is a bug, too === jbailey [n=jbailey@modemcable139.249-203-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:51] right now am in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+bugs-all, right place to fill in bugs, correct? [01:51] yes blue-frog if you're using dapper [01:51] not using testing... [01:52] ? [01:54] seb128: This x-chat gnome is strange to get used to. =) [01:56] jbailey, fully agreed [01:56] weird things on my system today === BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:59] jbailey: any particular issue with it? [02:00] jbailey: I used it for some months and I've no issue, but I'm an easy client ... I just need a list of chans and a good notification system (which xchat-gnome has, it opens notify bubble with who talked to you want what he said) === viviersf [n=cain@wbs-196-2-105-30.wbs.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:01] seb128: The ones that have come up so far: The triangle to expand the topic shouldn't be there if there's nothing to expand. I spend a good 30 seconds playing with it trying to figure out what it was doing when I clicked it in another channel. =) [02:01] seb128: Once I've clicked on the userlist to see the users, it would be nice to have the old equivalent of double clicking on them or something as an equivalent of /wii FOO [02:01] jbailey: right, the topic stuff is not optimal :) [02:01] A right click action would be fine. [02:02] seb128: I seem to have a channel or server in my serverlist that I can't get rid of. === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:03] jbailey: serverlist, like the properties dialog? [02:03] seb128: The window immediately to the left of this chat window. [02:03] jbailey: are you the maintainer of "locales"? I've seen this: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16216 and I would like to know if it could be corrected for breezy... === tvo [n=tobi@5354EA9B.cable.casema.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:03] jbailey: Right-click on the and "close" [02:03] jbailey: At least, that's how I got rid of mine just now. [02:04] hum [02:04] dexem: Locales changes are rarely changed in released versions. People may have setup their machines to compensate for that and it could break things to change it now. [02:04] dexem: It should already be fixed in Dapper, I think, but I haven't been able to check it. [02:04] hmm [02:04] infinity: Ah that works, but the 'x' when I clicked on it didn't work, thanks. [02:04] there's no use of debconf in locales anymore? o_O [02:05] jbailey: aham, ok. Thanks :) [02:05] seb128: In this channel with the larger topic, I tend to associate the 'x' with the topic rather than the window, so I might be inclined to click on it to shrink the topic. [02:05] seb128: You can see that these are all minor UI nits. [02:05] seb128: But it does leave me with the feeling of 'weird' [02:05] yeah [02:05] jbailey: do you have some autoconnect ? [02:06] seb128: I don't. I keep separate accounts for work and home and choose the one I want at startup. [02:06] jbailey: those are small things, nice than you point them now so they can get fixed for dapper :) [02:06] I have to be able to get away from y'all sometimes. ;) [02:06] jbailey: it's not fixed in dapper, I've just attached to that bug a patch for breezy glibc and another for dapper langpack-locales [02:06] jbailey: oh, is there some profile? or you just set a nickname and pick some chans at every startup? [02:06] jbailey: right, I've the too with no autoconnect [02:07] koke: Ah, okay. Thanks. === nnonix [n=nnonix@t42.bkjohnson.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:07] I'll ping MArtin when he's around next. i'm not actually sure how to update the locales now. =) === ulaas [n=ulaas@81.215.140.225] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:07] seb128: Really?... When I start and pick a network, it connects to it... I only have while the network in question can't be connected to. [02:07] jbailey: any ideas on which's the best option for fixing that in dapper [02:08] 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] seb128: Which happened cause I picked a network that wouldn't let me on. :) [02:08] we are working on a derivative, but versioning glibc... not a good idea [02:08] koke: Is the dapper one in that bug report, or is there a different one? [02:08] jbailey: oh, oki [02:08] jbailey: the dapper one is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=5632 [02:08] seb128: It means I still get all my automatic nickserv'ing and all that with a minimum of hassle. [02:08] but I haven't tested yet [02:09] infinity: when there is no autoconnect it puts a by default here, and I've connected a server it has opened a new entry ... [02:09] 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] seb128: Oh, weird. [02:09] seb128: Having the reduced window for clicking on links is also lovely. [02:09] koke: Ah, which derivative? [02:10] jbailey: you mean the URL plugin? === ulaas [n=ulaas@81.215.140.225] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:10] seb128: The old x-chat did that until recently, and then they started replacing the NULL window with the first server openned. [02:10] seb128: They changed tht in the last month, I think. [02:11] seb128: I have no checkboxes in any of my plugins. [02:11] seb128: Since there's no description of what they do, I didn't want to enable any of them. [02:11] jbailey: what is "the reduced window for clicking on links" ? [02:11] jbailey: the dapper one is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=5632 [02:11] jbailey: we are working on Tirwal Linux (a small spanish local distribution). We are using ubuntu and guadalinex as our starting point [02:12] seb128: When I put my mouse over that URL, it underlines, like in old x-chat. [02:12] auto-away set you away when gnome-screensaver starts [02:12] ah, ok [02:12] seb128: When Iright-click, I only have "Open in browser", and "Copy URL". [02:12] notification is a notify area stuff [02:12] seb128: Which is very nice, thanks. It even correctly defaults to ephy for me, so it's good. [02:12] osd uses libnotify to open bubbles when somebody talks to you on a chan or in query [02:13] dexem: Nice! Did you just fork glibc for the locales stuff? [02:13] seb128: Ahahah, really? === jbailey tries. [02:13] I wonder if my screensaver still hangs my machine. [02:13] jbailey: Well... we haven't decided anything yet. We have discovered the problem (and its solution) today === jbailey tries. [02:14] dexem: locales is no longer from the glibc source in dapper. [02:14] jbailey: the distro is based on breezy === spacey_ki [n=spacey@a82-93-13-195.adsl.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel === sistpoty [n=sistpoty@ubuntu/member/sistpoty] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:16] koke: Right. More to let you know that you can sidestep that pain in the future. =) [02:17] koke: Having to touch glibc just to fix minor locale issues is a bit excessive. [02:17] jbailey: yep, but having calendar starting on Sunday is not good for us [02:17] 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. [02:18] anyone has an idea what a problem linked to the ^ key system-wide might be linked to? [02:18] seb128: Funky popout bubble. [02:18] jbailey: according to the gtk cvs logs it's likely to have been made visible around september [02:18] 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] jbailey: yeah :) [02:19] so, the clock applet (amongst other software) shows a wrong calendar === hunger [n=hunger@p54A62542.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:20] What is the nick of Scott James Remnand? He is on IRC, isen't he? === dexem is now known as dexem_away [02:21] koke: I'd have to punt the question to mdz (bug#16216 for breezy for your nick hightlight, Matt). As I said, I'm not thrilled about it, but doing the patch and upload is easy enough. [02:21] anyone knows where I shall report a ^/ key issue? === ulaas [n=ulaas@81.215.140.225] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:24] hunger: No, Keybuk doesn't IRC. [02:24] infinity: he's not? I thought he was, that's a shame. [02:25] Oh, Keybuk is scott? great:-) === carlos [n=carlos@168.Red-83-53-62.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === hunger is confused by developers hiding behind their real name in changelogs:-) === JaneW [n=JaneW@dsl-146-177-48.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:28] infinity: IIRC he usually shows up in here , no? [02:28] sivang: YHBT, YHL, HAND === bmonty [n=bmontgom@ubuntu/member/bmonty] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:29] Kamion: ? [02:29] http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/Y/YHBT.html [02:29] doh! :-) === doko [n=doko@dslb-084-059-106-244.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === theine [n=theine@fw2.nbi.dk] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:33] seb128: Other observations. It doesn't seem to be possible to set my other-highlights, which I guess might not be a common enough feature for others (I usually highlight on my package names as well), and when a highlight is triggered, it no longer flashes the button in the panel. I suspect that behaviour should come back, since it's consistant with when firefox or evo have popped up a menu or something that needs your i [02:33] mmediate attention. === phlax [n=phlax@81.168.71.57] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:34] hi there - ive upgraded to dapper, and my second xinerama screen (os radeon driver) has ceased to work. I was wondering if anyone knows of changes in X that might have caused this, or should i file a bug? [02:34] phlax: file a bug [02:34] there have been LOADS of changes in X [02:35] There have been STORES of changes, too... === jbailey hides. [02:35] =) [02:35] right - i was just wondering if there was an obvious conf change. [02:35] jbailey: for the notification there is the "notify" plugin which use the notification area === stratus [n=stratus@cronopio.rits.org.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:36] seb128: Yeah.. On a 20" cinema display, a little icon popping up is no where near my field of vision. === zeedo [n=zeedo@reboot-robot.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:36] jbailey: use the osd plugin to get bubbles? :) [02:36] jbailey: BTW how do you customize you highlight list with xchat? [02:36] jbailey, I manage with a 24" widescreen. The trick is to unglue your nose from the monitor. :) [02:36] that's a preference option? [02:36] HiddenWolf: That just means enlarging my fonts even further.. Or finding my glasses. I haven't seen them in over a year. =) [02:37] =) [02:37] seb128: There's a comma separated list of words to use for highlights in one of the preferences boxes. [02:37] jbailey: you need anew pair then! [02:37] seb128: I'm more arguing that if other apps are using flashing panel button for urgent notification, perhaps this one should too. [02:37] seb128: Which is also what old x-chat did. [02:38] 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] jbailey: I'm not sure that everything using the urgent flag is nice [02:39] jbailey: gaim/xchat which do that are not GNOME apps ... :) [02:39] seb128: Right. I often wish that other things wouldn't. =) [02:39] the GNOME way would rather be to use the notification area [02:39] seb128: But interactive conversations do tend to require urgent response. =) [02:39] Ah okay. [02:39] So more that things are migrating to the notification area. [02:39] "'notification area", it's in the name :p [02:40] seb128: True. Although it generally seems to be a holding place for things rather than a notification area. [02:40] seb128: (thinking rhythmbox, evo, gaim here...) [02:40] right, apps tend to abuse of it instead of using applets [02:41] i thought everyone was told not to use applets awhile back. [02:42] 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 [02:43] jbailey: I doubt of that, people were told to not abuse the notification area for applets job though :) [02:43] seb128: =) [02:43] the issue with applet is they are not dynamic atm [02:43] users have to add them === JaneW [n=JaneW@dsl-146-177-48.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:44] jbailey: I've just opened a few bugs upstream according to what you pointed :) [02:44] seb128: Thanks. [02:44] np [02:45] It'll be interesting to watch this package evolve. [02:46] seb128: where's your gnome-panel Applications Menu/gam_server disappearing bug? I have a patch [02:47] sladen: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323064 [02:47] there is a patch upstream too [02:47] but according to the comment they want to drop inotify code from gam_server since gnome-vfs does inotify directly now [02:48] I've to patch/rebuild gnome-menus to use gnome-vfs API instead of gam one [02:48] that doesnt make sense to me [02:48] sladen: wow, what was the problem, how did you find it? [02:48] sivang: the issue is well known for ages, maybe he read the bug? :p [02:49] sivang: gam_server send a wrong signal on broken symlink [02:49] tseng: what? === spacey_ki [n=spacey@a82-93-13-195.adsl.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:49] seb128: that just gives fam apps crappy dnotify polling [02:50] seb128: /me goes to read that interesting bug, reckon much has changed there since I last glanced at it. [02:50] no one is going to automatically start using gnomevfs [02:50] seb128: http://www.paul.sladen.org/ubuntu/bugs/gnome-panel_2.13.4-0ubuntu3.applications-menu-disappearing.deb.diff [02:50] seb128: I deserved the :p :) [02:50] sladen: or better, read your patch :) [02:50] if seb128's patch is in, it wasn't working as of an hour ago [02:51] tseng: if you want to step to maintain gam_server/inotify you are probably welcome [02:51] sladen: nice [02:51] sladen: the patch is not in, it breaks the testsuite somewhere, I was waiting on them to sort that === zul [n=chuck@ubuntu/member/zul] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:51] tseng: nothing out of gnome-menus from the GNOME desktop uses gam API .. [02:51] heylo [02:51] tseng: and gnome-menus has a patch [02:51] hm ok [02:52] gnome-vfs was using gam_server before [02:52] that's why everything use it [02:52] apps usually just use gnome-vfs functions for that [02:53] my apps are using inotify directly atm [02:53] i have lots of jittering movement while moving windows [02:53] so cool [02:54] vuntz_: any opinion on http://www.paul.sladen.org/ubuntu/bugs/gnome-panel_2.13.4-0ubuntu3.applications-menu-disappearing.deb.diff ? That's for the app menu issue. 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 === theine [n=theine@fw2.nbi.dk] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [02:55] 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] seb128, i had that issue on my laptop. which was dapper as well [02:56] 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] sladen: I've pointed it to vuntz who is upstream for gnome-panel, let's wait on his comment [02:56] seb128, ah ok. [02:57] seb128: nod [02:57] ulaas: it'll be fixed rsn [02:57] my ^/ key stopped working properly. Any idea what think can be linked to guys? [02:57] seb128, not a problem for me anymore i dont have that problem for a long time.. [02:59] hmm hello ! major encoding bug here, anyone interested? [02:59] :s [02:59] raphink: looks like valid UTF-8 to me [02:59] raphink: that's the ^/[umlaut or trema] key? [02:59] Treenaks: my problem is not with printing ^ or [02:59] I can't use them with voyels anymore [03:00] I can't type ^e or e [03:00] or any kind of stuff like this [03:00] and whenever I try to in a tty and use backspace afterwards, it deletes my prompt ;) [03:00] raphink: locale charmap gives UTF-8 ? [03:00] yes === bluefrog-10 [n=admin@81.56.254.229] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:00] hmm [03:00] I've used UTF-8 as my default for months [03:00] without a pb [03:00] I began to have system-wide problems with that yesterday evening [03:01] maybe an xorg issue? [03:01] it seems each time I use ^+anykey, it deletes a char [03:01] seb128: nope it does it in tyys [03:01] ttys [03:01] ah [03:01] for example [03:02] I type [03:02] the following series of keys in a tty [03:02] ^ a ^ a backspace backspace [03:02] and it deletes the $ in the end of the prompt [03:03] seb128: patch looks weird :-) [03:03] anjuta crashes on startup on dapper [03:03] each ^+anykey+backspace will delete one more char in the prompt [03:03] beginning with the space following the $ [03:04] sladen: what's the first function where you move the code? [03:04] what do you think seb128 ? [03:04] seb128: I'm surprised they kept the lag indicator in the lower left, with no other information in the status bar. [03:04] raphink: I've no idea on the issue [03:04] Seems like a waste of space. [03:04] ah great LP is down for maint. [03:04] seb128: where do you think I should report it? [03:05] raphink: bugzilla? dunno on what package though === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:05] that's my question actually , which package ;) [03:05] jbailey: hum, that's right! [03:05] raphink: try to figure what you updated between the moment it worked and the moment you started getting the issue [03:06] hmm [03:06] vuntz_: handle_gmenu_tree_changed() -> submenu_to_display() === raphink goes to look at dapper-changes [03:07] sladen: I don't get it, sorry [03:07] sladen: handle_gmenu_tree_changed() should not be called when the menu opens [03:07] seb128: Oh hey, there's a big highlighting box in the middle of the preferences page which I had somehow completely skipped over. [03:07] seb128: *sigh* One day I'll have to ask mpt why that happens. =) [03:07] sladen: if it happens, then there's another bug somewhere [03:08] jbailey: ah, right :) [03:08] hrm [03:08] vuntz_: "There's half a bottle of milk in the fridge. I need to get some more tomorrow, but I'll throw away the current one now, even though the shops don't open for another 14hours" [03:09] sladen: in fact, the way we're doing stuff right now is broken, to be honest [03:09] vuntz_: whether or not is should be, it is getting called. GDB and debug build got me that far :) [03:09] we should not remove the items, but update them [03:09] sladen: the question, is why is it being called? :-) [03:10] in xchat-gnome 0.8 my logged in user shows up with my IP (n=admin@81...) while I can use another name in Xchat IRC (n=james@81...). Will this be change in future Xchat-gnome? [03:10] I understand the patch fixes the symptom, though === mxpxpod [n=BryanFor@wuw-ojr3gmca.dybb.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:13] vuntz_: the bug is due to gam_server/inotify as said, which sends wrong signal, it's going to be fixed [03:13] seb128, wouldnt the right patch be to not have the broken symlink in menu-xdg ? === Xof [n=mas01cr@gibbons.doc.gold.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:14] s/patch/fix [03:14] ogra_ibook: no, the right fix would be for gam_server to no shock on broken symlink [03:14] vuntz_: how long does a build of libgnome with symbols take? [03:14] 1 min [03:14] oh, okay [03:15] seb128, i guess both should be done ... [03:15] ogra_ibook: ok, I'll open a bug and assign it to you for the menu-xdg/menu issue, one beeing universe not the other, good luck to fix it [03:15] gam_server shouldn't send crap. gnome-panel shouldn't barf on getting crap. [03:15] anyone knows which pkg provides /usr/include/GL/gl.h in dapper atm? (or should provide) [03:15] either would be fine, both is correct [03:18] seb128, if it can wait until after feature freeze, i'm all open for it ... feels odd to have packages installing dangling symlinks ... [03:18] ogra_ibook: seems you don't have any real bugs to bother with that :) === BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:19] i expect it to becomme a bit more silent post feature freeze :) [03:19] sladen: so [03:20] sladen: gnome-panel doesn't do anything [03:20] sladen: gnome-menus is getting the crap [03:20] not gnome-panel [03:20] then gnome-menus tells the panel: "stop! something changed!" [03:23] okay. I just couldn't see a separate applet called gnome-menus (which is what I was expecting) [03:23] mvo: ping? [03:24] 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 [03:25] sladen: I hope not: handle_gmenu_tree_changed() deletes the contents of the menu, not the .desktop files [03:25] so there shouldn't be any loop there [03:25] if there is, then something is really broken [03:27] Keybuk: pong === trulux [n=lorenzo@unaffiliated/trulux] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:30] sladen: interestingly related, I haven't been able to reproduce the menus bug on my office dapper, any idea why? === thierry_ [n=thierry@modemcable038.65-131-66.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:31] infinity, ping #2 on ubuntu-docs [03:33] sivang: did you read the bug ?

[06:04] still thanks for checking :) [06:04] no trouble.

[06:06] mdz: yes [06:06] mdz: it works-ish, but frequently gets it wrong. [06:07] Mithrandir: leaving the user to configure it using the GNOME layout selector, which is not so bad [06:08] mdz, Keybuk approved ltsp sound, do you want to merge it or should i merge and upload ? [06:08] mdz: true, but we don't get it set in the console (at all) yet. [06:08] 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] ogra_ibook: go ahead, thanks [06:08] LaserJock: the patches for all of the packages we've modified are available there [06:08] thanks :) [06:08] mdz: Kamion seems to think it's sensible, can you to battle it out? :-) [06:08] we've even worked with Debian to get that linked from the Debian Package Tracking System === OculusAquilae [n=bastian@p548D1F92.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:08] Mithrandir: what, selecting the layout from the boot loader? [06:08] if we could somehow narrow it to only the ones which are usually ambiguous, that would be ideal [06:09] ogra_ibook: do hwdb submissions include the locale? [06:09] mdz: yes, Kamion wants to be able to select keyboard there. I think it would be better to have it in the bootloader, but it works to not have it there too. [06:09] mdz: yeah, that'd be really sweet. [06:09] LaserJock: so, e.g. http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sysvinit.html has a "Packages from ubuntu for version FOO" link on the left [06:09] mdz, nope [06:09] Keybuk: oh, that's right.

[06:12] mdz: I have begun looking at it.

I am going to further investigate what's wrong with keymapper tomorrow, I think. [06:17] 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] or perhaps only show the reduced set of keymaps until you select "Other Options", or something like that [06:18] 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] though, having those use the keyboard selector in gnome is fine, I think [06:18] yes, I don't think it's essential [06:21] RAH, working gparted embedding in espresso [06:22] wohoo [06:22] Does it make coffee too? :) [06:22] only the strong italian one :) [06:22] looks pretty dreadful as yet, but at least it's there: http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/espresso-gparted.png [06:23] (and ignore the typos at the left, all that text will probably be replaced) [06:23] Kamion, can you get rid of the numbers in the location bar?

[06:28] hunger: oh, I think it means "busy", i.e. currently in use [06:28] so the swap partition is in use and thus the extended partition is too [06:28] express renamed to espresso? [06:28] Kamion: Yes, that is possible... an extended encrypted partition wouldn't make much sense:-) [06:28] lock icons mean you don't have write access [06:29] psusi, odd to put them there. [06:29] ohh, in gparted? hrm... === psusi thought he was on the #ubuntu tab for a second ;) [06:29] segfault: yes, 'ubuntu-express' was a project codename, but it became too confusing because lots of people outside Ubuntu were implementing stuff we weren't going to use in that form and calling it 'ubuntu-express' [06:30] nice, at least in portuguese means the same thing. [06:30] that could be... but I thought if ANY partitions on the disk were in use, you got an EBUSY trying to refresh the partition table [06:30] and now is a native word.

[06:59] that's the new md5sum [06:59] your mail says that's postinst [06:59] no the 2nd script; not the first [07:00] oh, right [07:00] this works, no? [07:00] possibly right [07:00] except it doesn't allow for aborting [07:00] right [07:00] and it doesn't preserve removal [07:00] but is an improvement anyway [07:01] it is?

[09:21] there is more than just "recent patch" [09:22] recent is the only one I've taken a close look at in dapper [09:22] the issue imho are all the other crack modules that upstream is not taking because not ready yet [09:22] exactly [09:22] an analisys of one module can't talk for all the others [09:22] you need to look at all of them [09:22] one by one [09:23] 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 [09:24] do you realize that iptables are in sync between 2.4 and 2.6? [09:25] 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 [09:27] trappist: the basic and most important features are all there in both trees [09:28] the fancy modules might not be [09:30] 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. [09:31] do you have an example of such ipt_ that's in the kernel and not fully supported by our iptables userland? [09:31] psusi: which one is that? [09:31] just recent, the one in the bug (16831) [09:31] trappist: you saw one bug, that has been fixed in an -updates. that's all you know [09:31] and the problem was a path to the kernel headers [09:32] BenC: the pktcdvd and udf fixes [09:32] that has been fixed [09:32] Mithrandir: today's kubuntu live CD gives me "user not known to underlying authentication module" is that known?

[09:32] psusi: I replied I believe [09:32] Riddell: kdebase is FTBFS :) [09:32] psusi: my main question was, does it break current userspace at all [09:33] trappist: ./kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_recent.ko [09:33] trappist: this is from .12 [09:33] fabbione: yeah, I know [09:33] trappist: and iptables Userland has been fixed for that [09:33] where is daniels when you need him [09:33] trappist: did you upgrade your system? [09:33] yes [09:33] Riddell: what's the date of it? [09:33] 2006-01-10 [09:35] Riddell: I thought I fixed that bug before then, bug me if it's not ok tomorrow [09:35] 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] Mithrandir: ok, will do [09:35] Riddell: also, make sure that kubuntu-meta is installable.
