| Keybuk | if device manager shows it, it's a bug in tvtime | 12:02 |

| === jdub kicks Keybuk in the pants. | ||
| Keybuk | the most we need (imo) is a GL proxy server; that directs GL received from apps across the network, or to the appropriate video device | 12:22 |
| jdub | and X11 wouldn't be a good protocol to do that with, given its backwards compatibility and other benefits...? | 12:23 |
| === Arrogance [n=aks@ottawa-hs-209-217-83-179.d-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | as I understand X11, you end up with apps using GL to draw on a pixmap which is sent to a card that could receive GL just fine | 12:24 |
| Keybuk | I'm not necessarily against X11 being extended to support GL drawing commands directly | 12:24 |
| Keybuk | I'm definitely against the Xorg/X386 implementation | 12:25 |
| jdub | no, that is bollocks | 12:25 |
| jdub | that's precisely what GLX is for | 12:25 |
| Keybuk | for example, if I unplug an Nvidia graphics card and plug an ATI one in instead, I shouldn't have to stop all my running applications | 12:25 |
| Keybuk | ok | 12:25 |
| Keybuk | then I guess as a dev, I like the direction GLX is taking us :) | 12:25 |
| jdub | you're thinking of software rendering, which is an option everywhere | 12:25 |
| === Keybuk knows not much about it | ||
| jdub | GLX is an extension to send GL commands over the X protocol | 12:26 |
| jdub | that's why you can run glxgears from OS X, over ssh, displaying on your linux box, and it still works well | 12:26 |
| jdub | hooray for architecture, operating system, and network independence | 12:27 |
| Keybuk | the thing I don't like about X is the way that it's a huge thing sitting on top that needs to be configured and stuff | 12:27 |
| jdub | X is not huge *at all* | 12:27 |
| Keybuk | my display should be independant to my hardware | 12:27 |
| jdub | it was invented for machines smaller than your calculator | 12:27 |
| jdub | the fact that it needs to be configured is a relic, rapidly being fixed now we have Xorg | 12:28 |
| Keybuk | Xorg doesn't seem to be moving in the right direction though | 12:28 |
| Keybuk | you can't unload one video driver, and load another, without the display needing to be killed | 12:28 |
| jdub | (keith has done some really interesting work on autoconfiguration and hotplug in kdrive) | 12:28 |
| jdub | well, that's a very niche case that could be attended to | 12:28 |
| Keybuk | likewise X doesn't automatically deal with me plugging a monitor into my laptop, and then unplugging it again | 12:29 |
| jdub | it will be able to do that very soon | 12:29 |
| Keybuk | plug a monitor in, I should get a new screen to put things on, unplug it, that screen should get tidied away | 12:29 |

| Keybuk | jdub: X is still the one thing about Linux that makes me ashamed though | 12:31 |
| HiddenWolf | Keybuk: try the sound stack | 12:32 |
| Keybuk | we're so far behind the way Windows and Mac OS X deal with displays :( | 12:32 |
| Keybuk | HiddenWolf: nothing especially wrong with ALSA and Gstreamer | 12:32 |
| jdub | Keybuk: not really, and in some ways, we're ahead. :-) | 12:32 |
| Keybuk | jdub: Windows has had on-the-fly driver, resolution, depth, etc. changing and direct-to-card rendering for nearly a decade | 12:32 |
| Keybuk | in fact, over a decade | 12:32 |
| jdub | Keybuk: there are some warts, but not enough that it's worth throwing away. indeed, few of these problems actually need extensions and all that kind of stuff. | 12:33 |
| Keybuk | jdub: I don't necessarily disagree; when I talk about "X" I guess I refer to the implementation we have today -- rather than the underlying protocol | 12:33 |
| jdub | Keybuk: X can do resolution, depth and direct rendering. we can't do on-the-fly driver changing yet. | 12:33 |
| Keybuk | jdub: it can only change between existing preconfigured resolutions | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | and as I recall, it _can't_ do depth changing | 12:34 |
| jdub | Keybuk: that's not true at all - look at XRANDR | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | XRandR only supports changing between the configured resolutions | 12:34 |
| jdub | nup :-) | 12:34 |
| jdub | i only have one resolution in my xorg.conf | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | oh ok | 12:34 |
| jdub | but i can change to all the resolutions my monitor supports | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | it can't change between depths though | 12:34 |
| Keybuk | you have to kill every running X app to do that | 12:35 |
| stewart | XRandR only supports changing between the configured resolutions <-- is that different to windows? | 12:35 |
| jdub | stewart: it's untrue to begin with, but no | 12:35 |
| stewart | if I want a custom resolition I still have to hack my drivers inf file on xp | 12:35 |
| jdub | Keybuk: ok - depth is not implemented because it wasn't deemed necessary, which i tend to agree with. | 12:36 |
| jdub | Keybuk: the only computer i have running anything less than 24/32bit is an old laptop of pia's. | 12:37 |
| Keybuk | jdub: what if you plug in an old monitor for some reason | 12:37 |
| jdub | Keybuk: which only does 16 bit at its full screen resolution. | 12:37 |
| stewart | still from an end user "could my ma use it" point of view x configs are still overly messy | 12:37 |
| Keybuk | or plug into one of those annoying projectors | 12:37 |
| jdub | Keybuk: old monitors and projectors do 32 bit. it's not a display issue, it's a memory / video chipset issue. | 12:37 |
| stewart | and my ma is/was a design engineer so theres plenty of refinement | 12:37 |
| Keybuk | Linux users at conferences are funny | 12:37 |
| Keybuk | the first day where everyone has to deal with the projector | 12:38 |
| jdub | stewart: xrandr works nicely now - xorg autoconfiguration is being worked on. | 12:38 |
| stewart | good good | 12:38 |
| jdub | Keybuk: that has more to do with bad video drivers than anything else. | 12:38 |
| === Kaloz [i=kaloz@openwrt.org] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | jdub: yeah, that's certainly part of the problem | 12:38 |
| === Keybuk just wants everything to "just work" | ||
| stewart | I think drivers must be a sticking point for the FLOSS world in general but never more so than video | 12:38 |
| jdub | you're blaming X about things for which it alone is not responsible ;) | 12:39 |
| Keybuk | how is X alone not responsible? | 12:39 |
| Keybuk | where X ~= everything X and X-related | 12:39 |
| jdub | ok | 12:40 |
| jdub | so | 12:40 |
| jdub | you're blaming X for being "big" | 12:40 |
| jdub | which it is not | 12:40 |
| Keybuk | xorg-* is a large set of packages | 12:40 |
| jdub | you're blaming it for features it doesn't have | 12:40 |
| jdub | which it does | 12:40 |
| jdub | you're blaming it for features it doesn't have | 12:40 |
| jdub | that are extremely shallow use cases | 12:41 |
| stewart | well without getting on too much of a downer improvements from a user point of view seem to have been accelerating | 12:41 |
| Keybuk | I don't think they are shallow use cases | 12:41 |
| jdub | and blaming it for problems that we would have with *any* system | 12:41 |
| jdub | such as drivers | 12:41 |
| Keybuk | sure :) | 12:41 |
| jdub | Keybuk: changing depth? in this day and age? | 12:41 |
| jdub | stewart: very rapidly with the Xorg split | 12:41 |
| jdub | stewart: (both from XFree86 and its build split) | 12:41 |
| Keybuk | jdub: I've frequently had to deal with projectors that can only do 16-bit | 12:42 |
| Keybuk | so I think it's still relevant | 12:42 |
| jdub | i'd still call that a shallow use case | 12:42 |
| jdub | those projectors are broken | 12:42 |
| jdub | and rare | 12:42 |
| Keybuk | sorry, but that's just something I don't agree with | 12:42 |
| Keybuk | it's our job to work with the hardware the user has | 12:42 |
| jdub | depth is not a display side issue to a massive degree | 12:42 |
| Keybuk | not tell the user it's their hardware's fault | 12:42 |
| stewart | but exactky jdub you both seem to be saying a more similar thing than you realise | 12:42 |
| jdub | sure, but there's massively deployed hardware and pitifully deplpyed hardware | 12:43 |
| jdub | i'm more interested in the problems posed by massively deployed hardware | 12:43 |
| Keybuk | we should work with both | 12:43 |
| stewart | what kb is saying is that people are frustrated with x becuase in honesty it didnt seem to move for like 5-10 years | 12:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | for example, xv crashes X on my X40 | 12:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | quite often | 12:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | requiring a reboot | 12:43 |
| jdub | stewart: when Keybuk says "X is 70s technology that should be dumped", i am in absolute opposition to that idea :) | 12:43 |
| stewart | and what you're saying is hang on its moving rapidly now that everyones moaning at it | 12:43 |
| jdub | Keybuk: sure, but there are priorities. depth changing in XRANDR is possible, but not a priority. | 12:43 |
| Keybuk | Keybuk doesn't know *much* about X, it's both above and below the areas I tend to deal with | 12:44 |
| Keybuk | you probably know more than I do | 12:44 |
| mjg59 | How on earth do projectors end up refusing to accept more than 16-bit? | 12:44 |
| mjg59 | It's an analogue signal... | 12:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | designed by rent-an-ee in some cheap country? | 12:44 |
| Keybuk | so where I tend to throw a problem at "X", you know more about where that problem truly should be directed | 12:44 |
| jdub | mjg59: maybe a bandwidth issue? sounds completely nuts to me. | 12:44 |
| jdub | Keybuk: mmm - i've had to learn and keep up, given gnome stuff. | 12:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | jdub: it probably translates it back to digital, and the software is just crap | 12:45 |
| mjg59 | Red Hat are dealing with many of the current problems with X | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: my experience was a projector that only did 640x480 at default depth; but was happy to do 800x600 or 1024x768 at 16-bit | 12:45 |
| mjg59 | The biggest one being run-time reconfiguration | 12:45 |
| stewart | well this isnt gettingmy TVTIME fixed ;-) | 12:46 |
| Keybuk | jdub: aye; currently I'm more interested in the underlying problems of getting kernel and userspace to play nice together -- and the higher problem of graphical users being able to see and change what's happening with their system | 12:46 |
| stewart | Im gonna hit the hay night guys and keep up the great work | 12:46 |
| Keybuk | X is somewhere in the middle of that, and not something I keep up to date with | 12:46 |
| === aheck [n=aheck@mnh9-d933b1c0.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | The biggest technology problem with X would be that changing depth on the fly is awkward | 12:47 |
| mjg59 | But other than that... | 12:47 |
| infinity | AFAIUI, depth is becoming a non-issue as we're seeing the ability for windows to set their own depth. | 12:48 |
| infinity | (So, changing the server depth would just mean resetting the depth on all windows, including the root) | 12:49 |
| infinity | Which can probably be done today, but there's no cute tool to do it. | 12:49 |
| joelbryan | X can deal with those things, all it need is a smart script to do this and that. | 12:50 |

| hunger | _ion: Aehm... yes, of course:-) | 01:03 |
| HiddenWolf | jdub: I know, but unless things move forward and some distro's actually ship it as default, not a whole lot will happen. | 01:03 |
| HiddenWolf | Keybuk: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/newsletters/accelerated_x/ | 01:03 |
| hunger | By dapper+1 it should run on both xgl and the other one. | 01:03 |
| jdub | Keybuk: Xgl is an xserver that uses GL to render *everything*. AIGLX is a set of extensions that let you do indirect acceleration (into off-screen memory), which lets your compositing manager do all kinds of cool things faster. | 01:04 |
| jdub | Keybuk: we'll get AIGLX bits as a matter of course; Xgl will probably continue to be an option for people who's hardware can handle it. | 01:05 |
| jdub | s/who's/whose/ | 01:05 |
| Keybuk | what does AIGLX give us that GLX doesn't? | 01:05 |
| jdub | interesting question | 01:06 |
| jdub | basically, it gives us a lot of love for a lower cost | 01:06 |
| jdub | Keybuk: GLX != Xgl | 01:06 |
| jdub | we're always using GLX here | 01:06 |
| jdub | Xgl is designed for a world where graphics cards are just 3d cards that happen to be drawing 2d objects | 01:07 |

| Keybuk | as I understand the world-to-be though, we're going to fast see graphics cards dropping 2d chips? | 01:09 |

| jdub | for instance, video overlays - with AIGLX, you use the existing XVideo overlay foo, but don't get tasty 3d manipulation of overlayed video. with Xgl, all of that video stuff is done through pixel shaders and crap like that on the GPU. | 01:09 |
| Amaranth | iirc the cards in the new macs don't have dedicated 2d | 01:09 |
| jdub | hunger: they're not nasty to each other. Xgl has switched to the same extensions. | 01:09 |
| jdub | Amaranth: no, that's more of a bios issue than what's going on on the chipset | 01:09 |

| Keybuk | Amaranth: 2.6.17 | 01:15 |
| Amaranth | ogra: the SCSI subsystem is much better than the others | 01:15 |

| ogra | may make sense, but i doubt *anybody* provides a good upgrade path from krenel.org ... | 01:15 |
| Keybuk | Amaranth: indeed; which is why SATA is implemented under SCSI, not IDE | 01:16 |
| Amaranth | usb, sata, etc | 01:16 |
| Keybuk | ogra: since when do kernel.org care about upgrade paths? :p | 01:16 |
| Keybuk | they leave that for us | 01:16 |
| infinity | ogra: We had no upgrade path when SATA stuff jumped from IDE to SCSI (via libata) either. | 01:16 |

| ogra | yeah | 01:16 |

| Amaranth | Keybuk: is this "move to SCSI subsystem" roadmap posted anywhere? | 01:53 |
| bddebian | Vodka on pasta? | 01:53 |
| Keybuk | hahahahaha "road map" | 01:53 |
| Keybuk | Amaranth: the current patch set is: | 01:54 |
| Keybuk | http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0603.2/1402.html | 01:54 |
| Amaranth | Keybuk: Is there at least a drunken rant on lkml about why it should be done? | 01:54 |
| Keybuk | Amaranth: it's reasonably obvious why it should be done; because it's the right thing to do | 01:54 |
| mjg59 | Amaranth: Have you /read/ the code in drivers/ide | 01:54 |
| mjg59 | ? | 01:55 |
| mjg59 | If so, that should give you a good idea :) | 01:55 |
| Amaranth | mjg59: I try to stay away from the kernel. | 01:55 |
| mjg59 | The legacy IDE code is horrible, full of locking races and makes hotplug almost impossible | 01:55 |
| Amaranth | mjg59: I almost got into it once, whiskey was needed. :P | 01:55 |
| mjg59 | libata is readable | 01:56 |
| infinity | mjg59: So, are people madly porting ancient IDE drivers to libata, or will there still be some mix-n-match hell for crazies with 486 machines? | 01:56 |
| Keybuk | PATA support in libata is one of those things where just about everyone goes "yup, please!" | 01:56 |
| mjg59 | infinity: Alan Cox is doing it. So, yes. | 01:56 |
| infinity | Sex. | 01:56 |
| infinity | Go Cox. | 01:56 |
| mjg59 | In fact he's written support for some hardware that was never previously supported... | 01:56 |
| infinity | That's very Alan. | 01:56 |
| mjg59 | Amaranth: As a reference, piix.c (from drivers/ide) is 20K. ata_piix is 17K, and does SATA as well as legacy IDE | 01:57 |
| Amaranth | damn | 01:58 |
| mjg59 | And is /much/ more readable | 01:58 |
| Keybuk | not to mention any comments about the IDE subsystem maintainer being almost as hard to work with as the IDE subsystem code ;) | 01:58 |
| mjg59 | Whoever the IDE subsystem maintainer happens to be at that point in time | 01:59 |
| jdub | yay _A_ | 01:59 |
| Keybuk | he rejected our patch to take away the race condition between the "ADD /dev/hda" and "/proc/ide/hda" actually existing | 01:59 |
| Amaranth | mjg59: so crappy code attracts assholes? | 02:00 |
| Keybuk | likewise the patch to put the /proc information into /sys where it belonged | 02:00 |
| mjg59 | Amaranth: Or, rather, sane people stay away | 02:00 |
| mjg59 | Anyway. The world will All be Good once this is sorted | 02:01 |
| Keybuk | well, not All good | 02:01 |
| Keybuk | if only we could mv drivers/scsi drivers/disk or something | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: That's the long-term goal | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | Or, rather, the long term goal is to move it away from scsi again | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | There's no need for it to all go through the scsi layer | 02:02 |
| Keybuk | ah, so drivers/scsi would just be scsi controller drivers using a common disk subsystem? | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 02:02 |
| Keybuk | instead of using the scsi core as the common disk subsystme | 02:03 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 02:03 |
| Keybuk | we decided that we'd hum loudly and pretend "sda1" stands for "storage device 'a' partion '1'" :) | 02:03 |
| mjg59 | Heh | 02:03 |
| mjg59 | The migration is going to be "fun" | 02:03 |

| Keybuk | Amaranth: if you're running dapper, I'd recommend sticking with 2.6.15 anyway | 02:10 |
| Keybuk | they are /sys changes in 16 onwards that could break udev | 02:10 |
| Amaranth | Keybuk: i meant when i switch to dapper+1 | 02:10 |

| Amaranth | i got the "omg we're gonna die" parts | 02:11 |
| Keybuk | infinity: albeit a very quick one | 02:11 |
| Keybuk | we'll have just enough time to break everything, and no time to fix it | 02:12 |
| infinity | That seems ideal. | 02:12 |
| predius_ | i'm sure dapper+1 will be broken for the first couple of months | 02:12 |
| infinity | Mark wanted it to be another warty, I think we can pull that off. :) | 02:12 |

| xhaker | childe: i think if you want it in ubuntu the way is to compile it yourself | 04:03 |
| xhaker | with the debug options turned on | 04:04 |
| childe | xhaker: Hmmm...why don't Ubuntu provide such a package, like in RedHat. Compiling a kernel on my own system costs a lot of time. It will be better to provide a package. | 04:05 |
| xhaker | it would indeed, i don't think it's a lot of time though, depends on the hardware/connection | 04:06 |
| xhaker | childe: do you think a -debug kernel is necessary? really really? if you file a bug in launchpad.net the kernel team might hear you | 04:07 |
| childe | xhaker: I reported that bug to X team because it's that i810 X driver causes kernel panic. | 04:08 |
| childe | xhaker: Should I report it to the kernel team? | 04:08 |
| xhaker | childe: just file a wishlist bug asking for a fully ready -debug kernel | 04:09 |
| childe | xhaker: If the kernel team put their debug kernels online, other people who have time can help them. | 04:09 |

| childe | xhaker: It's OK because this bug is reproducible even on Breezy. | 04:13 |
| childe | xhaker: But it seems these kernels are not debug kernels :-( | 04:13 |
| childe | xhaker: The bug is #34697 on launchpad | 04:13 |
| xhaker | crap.. double clicked it | 04:14 |
| xhaker | lol | 04:14 |
| childe | xhaker: This bug is really anonying. Now I can only use xfs_freeze then Sysrq+O to shutdown the machine :( | 04:16 |

| xhaker | too bad :/ | 04:17 |
| xhaker | have you tried the i386 kernel? | 04:18 |
| childe | And the X team seems too busy and have no time to deal with this non-critical bug...so I want to try to debug it by myself. | 04:18 |

| robitaille | we had a visitor at work today, with a Kubuntu laptop. Being the resident ubuntu fanboy, people pointed that to me very quickly | 06:42 |
| hendry | joelbryan: ekiga shouldn't be in startup | 06:43 |
| joelbryan | hendry: why? | 06:43 |
| hendry | joelbryan: takes up valuable resources | 06:43 |
| joelbryan | ok | 06:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | should my X40 stall while 'loading hardware drivers' until I break it ? | 06:43 |
| hendry | i don't think ekiga works through a firewall, does it? | 06:43 |
| Burgundavia | hendry: you mean default install? | 06:43 |
| Burgundavia | yes, it works through most firewalls | 06:44 |
| hendry | Burgundavia: pardon? | 06:44 |
| joelbryan | hendry: yes, through STUN | 06:44 |
| hendry | why does it have this odd NAT dectection phase? | 06:44 |
| Burgundavia | ekiga should be in the default install because we want to encourage free codecs for speech | 06:44 |
| joelbryan | I have a strict NAT setup | 06:44 |
| joelbryan | and it works | 06:44 |
| joelbryan | yes | 06:45 |
| hendry | in order for ekiga to work. do you have to sign up to ekiga service?? | 06:45 |
| Burgundavia | no | 06:45 |
| joelbryan | yes | 06:45 |
| _ion | hendry: You can use any SIP provider/server. | 06:45 |
| Burgundavia | all you need is to call any other sip account | 06:45 |
| joelbryan | ah, ok, you use your IP | 06:45 |
| joelbryan | h323 | 06:45 |
| Burgundavia | sip is an open protocol, unlike skype | 06:45 |
| Burgundavia | h323 is an older standard for video conferencing | 06:46 |
| Burgundavia | h323 != sip | 06:46 |
| _ion | h323 < sip :-) | 06:46 |
| joelbryan | yup | 06:46 |
| hendry | what do win32 users have to install to talk to you? | 06:46 |
| joelbryan | but you can call an ip using h323 | 06:46 |
| Burgundavia | openwengo | 06:47 |
| Burgundavia | any video conferencing program that speaks sip | 06:47 |
| hendry | why doesn't ubuntu provide SIP addresses? | 06:47 |
| joelbryan | google talk? | 06:47 |
| hendry | can I use my google account with Ekiga? | 06:47 |
| Burgundavia | hendry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software | 06:48 |
| Burgundavia | hendry: that is jabber and that is a different protocol entirely | 06:48 |
| hendry | Burgundavia: so that's a no? | 06:48 |
| Burgundavia | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMac | 06:48 |
| Burgundavia | no | 06:48 |
| Lathiat | ekiga provides its own sip address server | 06:48 |
| Burgundavia | ideally we should one "talking to people" client that does all this | 06:49 |
| Lathiat | you get @ekiga.nets | 06:49 |
| hendry | so with Ekiga I can't talk to GoogleTalk peeps. Oh gawd | 06:49 |
| Lathiat | no, googletalk is a totally separate protocol | 06:49 |
| joelbryan | I think google is upto sip support | 06:50 |
| Burgundavia | nothing but googletalk currently does the video stuff from there | 06:50 |
| G0SUB | hendry: GTalk is XMPP | 06:50 |
| Burgundavia | Google Talk supports XMPP with the beta release. We plan to support SIP in a future release. Additionally, we will evaluate other protocols as appropriate, to continue to deliver on our commitment to open communications | 06:50 |

| Burgundavia | joelbryan: OEM currently is text only. It would be nice if it had a pygtk interface. Want to write one? | 06:57 |
| fabbione | sladen: i did a round of fixes to get rid of stupid bugs in the libs.. i still need to get to drivers | 06:57 |
| fabbione | sladen: not if the BIOS forces the shared mem to N Mb | 06:57 |
| joelbryan | Burgundavia: yeah, I'm currently writing a GTK+ version | 06:57 |

| joelbryan | Burgundavia: I want to know what OEM mode asks to the user? | 06:58 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: name, password, timezone, dob, mothers maiden name, dogs birthday, what you ate for dinner last night :) | 06:59 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: seriously, only the first three are what you need | 06:59 |
| sladen | fabbione: most cards are shared memory now (eg. i810) and the allocated RAM goes up and down based on what X asks for (IIRC, E&OE) | 06:59 |
| joelbryan | Should it asks to register a Ekiga.net SIP name? | 07:00 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: and you migth be able to reuse on of the espresso parts (the one that creates users) | 07:00 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: nope | 07:00 |
| joelbryan | Should it asks to run Ekiga on startup? | 07:00 |
| hendry | does anyone here use Gmail and still doesn't have Talk integrated? | 07:00 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: just checking, do you know what the OEM installer is? | 07:01 |
| fabbione | sladen: do we have a patch for 28326? otherwise i am not sure i can fix it... | 07:01 |
| joelbryan | I've seen it, but not use it, it doesn't have an explanation of what OEM mode is, so I use normal install instead | 07:01 |
| sladen | fabbione: AlanH pointed me to some stuff of his, but it needs pulling out from bigger commit | 07:02 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: OEM installer is when someone is installing the box for somebody else. Such as Dell, who preinstall Windows | 07:02 |
| fabbione | sladen: i have never seen this dynamic mem allocation happening.. i *think* the only way to force the request it to set VideoRAM but we can't do it by default | 07:02 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: the questions that are relevant to the user (their name and where they live) are left until the end. The machine is shipped at the state when you turn it on, you get those questions asked | 07:03 |
| fabbione | sladen: bigger commit for the i810 or all over the X tree? | 07:03 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: currently that is a text mode, but it would be much nicer if it was a pygtk interface | 07:03 |
| fabbione | sladen: i am dealing to ask UVF breakage if there are good reaons | 07:03 |
| fabbione | reasons even | 07:03 |
| joelbryan | Burgundavia: should it be called, "Personalize Installation (OEM Mode)" | 07:04 |
| sladen | fabbione: only instead i810. I think the only other thing in that bundle might be rotation support (which would be nice to have aswell to support the various tablets) | 07:04 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: OEM installation is really only good for those who are doing lots of installs on machine they themselves are not going to be doing | 07:04 |
| sladen | fabbione: ^^only inside i810 | 07:05 |
| infinity | joelbryan: More to the point, it's everything BUT personal. You're installing a system, but not doing inital user setup, etc. | 07:05 |
| infinity | joelbryan: So, when the customer boots it the first time, it gets setup up for them. | 07:05 |
| fabbione | sladen: ok.. i think it is doable.. | 07:05 |
| sladen | joelbryan: OEM is designed for people like Dell or HP. They "install" ubuntu once. Image the disk XXX thousand times and then when each user turns on their machine for the first time it's already installed but still asks the username/password... | 07:05 |
| infinity | joelbryan: If you've ever bought a machine with a Windows OEM install on it, you'd know what I mean (except theirs is graphical and ours isn't quite yet) | 07:06 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/11/ubuntu-oem-mode/ | 07:06 |
| Burgundavia | infinity: can we use the espresso user-setup bit? | 07:06 |
| sladen | fabbione: maybe I'll look at it when awake. the Xv is a bug-fix for something that's been around for a long time; xrandr would be a UVF feature request (it's been in Xorg CVS for about 12weeks now) | 07:07 |
| infinity | Burgundavia: Probably. I don't know how much developer time there is to go around to fix up OEM mode AND finish espresso. | 07:07 |
| fabbione | sladen: did they release a new driver with this stuff? | 07:07 |
| fabbione | sladen: or are we talking only CVS... | 07:07 |
| infinity | Burgundavia: But espresso could well be used as the graphical stage2 for OEM, yeah... | 07:07 |
| Burgundavia | infinity: OEM works, that is all i care about | 07:07 |
| infinity | Burgundavia: (Well, bits of it) | 07:07 |
| joelbryan | Burgundavia: should it be pygtk?, why not C? | 07:07 |
| Burgundavia | joelbryan: because pygtk is easier and faster to write in | 07:08 |
| Burgundavia | not that I write code... | 07:08 |
| joelbryan | Burgundavia: ok, uhmm... don't know much about python, but I can write it entirely in GTK+ | 07:08 |
| joelbryan | Burgundavia: I mean C | 07:09 |
| joelbryan | Burgundavia: or I use Glade and generate it in libglade | 07:09 |
| infinity | It's just faster to prototype in a scripting language, that's all. If you're comfortable and quick with C, no one's suggesting you not use it. | 07:10 |
| === _ion thought that python rules until he learned ruby. :-) | ||
| joelbryan | infinity: ok, hehehe, just trying to comform with ubuntu standards, maybe I'll break something if I use this and that. | 07:12 |
| joelbryan | clearly Ruby isn't installed default, so I should not use it. | 07:13 |
| infinity | joelbryan: If you want to have other people be able to make very rapid changes/bugfixes to it, python's a better choice than C (I say this, despite not really liking python at all, and rather quite liking C) | 07:13 |
| infinity | joelbryan: But if you don't know python at all, and aren't in the mood to learn (or just plain prefer C), then go with C. Most anyone who will want to hack on your stuff will know C anyway. | 07:14 |

| Burgundavia | infinity: but why does upstream do it that way? | 07:25 |
| Burgundavia | it seems very "kitchen sink"ish | 07:25 |
| infinity | Burgundavia: Upstream doesn't dictate how we split it up. | 07:26 |
| infinity | Burgundavia: glibc can't really do its job (well, all of its jobs) without timezone and locale info, so upstream ships that too. | 07:26 |
| Burgundavia | ah | 07:26 |
| infinity | We happen to know (from experience), that on a cut down system, you can live without that stuff. | 07:26 |
| infinity | So we now ship them seperately. | 07:26 |
| jdub | glibc is our rock | 07:26 |
| infinity | But most people probably still want the kitchen sink. | 07:26 |
| Mithrandir | I like kitchen sinks. Hard to make food without one. | 07:27 |
| infinity | 99.9% of installations are "broken" without locales and zoneinfo, IMO. | 07:27 |
| infinity | The other 0.1%... Well.. I happen to be one of those users. :) | 07:27 |
| Burgundavia | ok. I just seemed so odd to have two seemingly non-relating things in one package | 07:27 |
| Burgundavia | package being glibc, not in the debian sense | 07:27 |
| Mez | Mithrandir, why is it hard to make food without the kitchen sink? surely you dont really need that much water | 07:27 |
| Mez | infinity, that's cause you're weird ;) | 07:28 |
| Mithrandir | Mez: I wash the stuff I make food with quite a lot. Like, the semi-large knife I use for meat and vegetables, for instance. | 07:28 |
| Mithrandir | Mez: as well as all the plates and stuff I use in between | 07:28 |
| Mez | Mithrandir, surely you could wash those in the bathroom sink though? or under the tap outside? | 07:29 |
| Mez | Mithrandir, why does it specifically have to be a "kitchen" sink] | 07:29 |
| Mithrandir | Mez: tap outside? In -10C and one floor down? | 07:29 |
| Mithrandir | because I tend to make food in the kitchen and having the tools I need to make food elsewhere is not helpful? | 07:29 |
| Mez | Mithrandir, *shrugs* I've had to deal with worse (-10 inside ) | 07:29 |
| Mez | Mithrandir, it's helpful to have a kitchen sink but not essential | 07:30 |
| Mez | (anyway - I'm just rambling) | 07:30 |

| infinity | mdz: How do you feel about a UVF exception for ttf-freefont? | 08:35 |
| mdz | infinity: nervous | 08:36 |
| Seveas | Burgundavia, I already reverted the latest edit | 08:36 |
| infinity | mdz: It's currently FTBFS (and has been since January, go us!), Christian Perrier has taken it over in Debian and is giving it much love. | 08:36 |
| mdz | new upstream versions of freefont always seem to have unpleasant side effects | 08:36 |
| mdz | changed glyphs, adding new ones which override other fonts in unexpected ways, etc. | 08:36 |
| infinity | mdz: Yes, but at least this time it's being maintained by someone who's close to both the installer and the translators. | 08:36 |
| mdz | takes a while to shake out | 08:36 |
| mdz | what's the nature of the FTBFS? this version built at one point | 08:37 |
| Burgundavia | Seveas: thanks, I saw that | 08:37 |
| infinity | mdz: Alternately, I could just fix the FTBFS... But that would, ironically, bring us a new upstream too, since we never got the new upstream built. | 08:37 |
| infinity | mdz: Ever since it was synced, it hasn't built. No one bothered to check. | 08:37 |
| Seveas | Burgundavia, episode 999 in the story of John Richard Moser - more to follow soon I'm afraid... | 08:38 |
| infinity | mdz: I'm going through every FTBFS in main right now (only a couple left) and found this. <sigh> | 08:38 |

| doko | infinity: have only one cpp used on the CD, all of gnome uses mcpp | 09:00 |

| siretart | I mean there is already nvidia and nvidia-legacy. whats the conceptual difference in madwifi-old vs madwifi-ng? | 10:04 |
| mvo | Kamion: thanks for processing ttf-sil-doulos, ttf-sil-charis. ttf-gentium has the same license, but is in multiverse right now, what needs to be done to get it into universe? is a new upload required for this? | 10:04 |
| infinity | siretart: The biggest differece is that nvidia is only one kernel module, madwifi is a whole set of them (with dependencies). | 10:06 |
| === Lure [n=luka@external-7.hermes.si] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| infinity | siretart: So, the hack gets a bit dirtier, in that one set (ideally the old ones, since we want to switch to -ng eventually) will need internal renaming, not just a filename change. | 10:07 |
| _ion | Btw., why is l-r-m a single, monolithic source package? | 10:08 |
| infinity | siretart: Anyone willing to step up and do said renaming is welcome to do so. Then we need to get some PCI ID lists ASAP for machines that MUST use -ng (they'll skip on trying to load -old at all in the new world order, stuff like new Thinkpads), everyone else gets -old by default, and you can switch if you feel the urge. | 10:08 |
| infinity | siretart: Ish. | 10:08 |
| infinity | _ion: So it's not a royal pain in the ass to update on every kernel ABI bump. It's intentional. | 10:08 |

| Diziet | I haven't looked at the code yet to see what exactly setting that variable does. | 12:39 |
| Kamion | pitti: the extra seed lists extra binaries from main sources that aren't otherwise seeded, and if you use a %source seed (e.g. %postgresql) then all binaries from that source get seeded and any extra dependencies get pulled in | 12:39 |
| mvo | Diziet: I wouldn't be supprised if it would also break loads of international websites | 12:40 |
| Diziet | If there's some reason why we _have_ to use Pango and Cairo then I should just reject the report. | 12:40 |
| pitti | Kamion: alright; thanks for the heads-up | 12:40 |
| jdub | fabbione: yay xorg v4l :) | 12:40 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: does it render CJVKK pages correctly without it? | 12:41 |
| Mithrandir | CJVK, even | 12:41 |
| Kamion | and Thai | 12:41 |
| Mithrandir | that too | 12:41 |
| Diziet | mith: I don't know. I probably couldn't tell if it didn't. If we have someone that could try it then that would be a quick way of dealing with the issue. | 12:41 |
| Kamion | oh, worth checking Hebrew and Arabic too for right-to-left-ness | 12:41 |
| Diziet | It's a shame it's slow. | 12:41 |
| Kinnison | can you have pango enabled and cairo disabled? | 12:42 |
| infinity | Alright, I'll check in all these changes tomorrow when I have all the seeds checked out and can merge between all the branches. | 12:42 |
| infinity | Thanks for the input guys. | 12:42 |
| Diziet | kinnison: I don't know. | 12:42 |
| Kinnison | Diziet: cairo is dog slow | 12:42 |
| Diziet | So I should try to have pango but not cairo ? | 12:42 |
| jsgotangco | sladen: ping? | 12:42 |
| Kinnison | It'll still link cairo because of gdk2.8 but if moz can get by without calling it, it should be faster | 12:43 |
| Diziet | There are some configuration options in this area, and I think yes, it can probably do it. | 12:43 |
| Diziet | I don't know how well-tested a code path it is. | 12:43 |
| infinity | I did notice that Tbird got a tiny bit slower with pango/cairo enabled, but it also seemed to get a bit prettier, so I'm of two minds. | 12:44 |
| Kinnison | cairo rendering is better than gdk | 12:44 |
| Kinnison | but it's slower because everything is a trapezoid | 12:45 |
| === infinity nods. | ||
| ogra | isnt cairo used for svg rendering ? we'll loose that without cairo i think | 12:45 |
| infinity | I'm inclined to just take the performance hit and wait for cairo to improve. | 12:45 |
| Mithrandir | there's nothing inherent in cairo which makes it slow, it's just that it's not optimised, AIUI. | 12:46 |
| Diziet | I suppose I could profile it. But the thought of profiling Mozilla doesn't fill me with optimism and good cheer. | 12:47 |
| Kinnison | do we compile cairo with all of gcc4's funky vectorising turned on? | 12:47 |
| infinity | You mean the fnuky stuff that would render it unable to run on certain CPUs, or other funky stuff? :) | 12:47 |
| Kinnison | I imagine there're some optimisations which would break some cpus | 12:48 |
| Kinnison | we could have libcairo-686 for that | 12:48 |
| lifeless | Kinnison: prod | 12:48 |
| Kinnison | lifeless: looks fucked | 12:48 |
| Diziet | I think extra optimisations for faster more modern CPUs is rather missing the point. | 12:48 |
| lifeless | Kinnison: stdout and sterr races AFAICT | 12:49 |
| infinity | Kinnison: No need for two packages, we can just double up and dump one in /usr/lib/i686/cmov, but someone should see if it's worth the effort. | 12:49 |
| Kinnison | rjek is currently trying on amd64 | 12:50 |
| infinity | Diziet: Well, I won't debate one way or the other for cairo, but it certainly makes sense for libssl (one of the few multi-target optimised libraries on the system) | 12:50 |
| sladen | jsgotangco: yo | 12:50 |
| sladen | jsgotangco: ask the question, rather than pinging :) | 12:50 |
| lifeless | Kinnison: still the question is - is it sufficient | 12:50 |
| jsgotangco | sladen: do you happen to know what might cause a toshiba not to reboot at all since Flight 3? | 12:50 |
| Kinnison | lifeless: fix the race | 12:50 |
| jsgotangco | sladen: modules not unloaded perhaps? | 12:51 |
| Kinnison | lifeless: making stdout and stderr present separately on the page, or else go down the same pipe would probably do | 12:51 |
| lifeless | Kinnison: later. | 12:51 |
| lifeless | Kinnison: I will tweak it a little now the hard part is done | 12:51 |
| Kinnison | lifeless: once it's more readable, you qualify for cashing in the token | 12:51 |
| lifeless | heh | 12:51 |

| fabbione | if i can't figure it out, i will give you console access | 04:25 |
| Keybuk | ok | 04:25 |
| Keybuk | that would be ideal, thankyou | 04:25 |
| Kamion | mjg59: shall I do that and upload then? not that I can test, but it seems easy enough ... | 04:25 |
| fabbione | i have been distracted and lost count of seconds.. | 04:26 |

| mjg59 | Kamion: (As long as you're sure CONFIG_ia32 is defined there) | 04:27 |
| Keybuk | hunger: do they work after today's update | 04:27 |
| hunger | Keybuk: I am using lvm on all my boxes (4 of them, all on dapper). | 04:27 |
| hunger | Keybuk: LVM on MB on one box (dapper as well). | 04:27 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: yes they do work... | 04:27 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: i use them a lot as test cases | 04:28 |
| Keybuk | ok | 04:28 |
| hunger | Keybuk: Do I need to reboot to get updates activated? | 04:28 |
| Keybuk | hunger: yes | 04:28 |
| hunger | Keybuk: I have all boxes updated, but I did not yet reboot. | 04:28 |
| Keybuk | you need to reboot to test the "mounting of root filesystem at boot time" :) | 04:28 |

| Surak | Hello. | 04:33 |
| Kinnison | Kamion: heh | 04:33 |
| Surak | people, the xserver-xorg src package has some packages marked to not be created in some architectures. (for instance, xserver-xorg-via-driver in amd64 and powerpc). | 04:34 |
| fabbione | Surak: yes.. that is correct.. | 04:34 |
| Surak | fabbione: can I request some help from you? | 04:35 |
| fabbione | Surak: help -> #ubuntu | 04:35 |
| Surak | fabbione: I'm intended to provide a backport for it. The help is in generating the package. | 04:36 |
| === hunger [n=tobias@p54A615CD.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | Surak: you can't backport it | 04:36 |
| hunger | Keybuk: Does *NOT* work. | 04:36 |
| Keybuk | hunger: waits three minutes? | 04:36 |
| hunger | Keybuk: With the normal kernel I get no output at all. | 04:36 |
| Keybuk | "no output at all" ? | 04:37 |
| Keybuk | black screen? | 04:37 |
| hunger | Keybuk: With the "safe mode" kernel it writes something about "waiting for root" or similar. | 04:37 |
| Keybuk | ok | 04:37 |
| hunger | Keybuk: blank after grub is done with its text. | 04:37 |
| Surak | fabbione: why? There are patches on via driver on Xorg's cvs. Not intended to backport the whole 7.0 driver, but only those patches required for some hardware to work. | 04:37 |
| Keybuk | and then if you wait three minutes, it carries on? | 04:37 |
| hunger | Keybuk: I have not waited 3min yet. | 04:37 |
| Kinnison | Kamion: I'm just rsyncing the liveCD down for testing | 04:38 |
| hunger | Keybuk: Lets just sit around and wait a bit:-) | 04:38 |
| fabbione | Surak: if you want to backport patches is one thing. doing a backport means pushing the via driver from a release to another | 04:38 |
| hunger | Keybuk: It continued to boot now... | 04:39 |
| hunger | Keybuk: 3min seems to be pretty close to what I am seenig;-) | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | okies | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/udev | 04:39 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: it did wait exactly 3 minutes and then kept going.. even if root was there... | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | ^ build and install that, then reboot again | 04:39 |
| Surak | fabbione: specifically, the build-tree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/via/via_mode.c needs to be patched. But yet I don't know how to change the debian structure so I can enable some package to be created in some architecture. | 04:39 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: gonna setup access for you | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | fabbione: can you try the same source, build and install that | 04:39 |
| fabbione | Surak: i don't understand why you want to enable via on amd64/powerpc | 04:40 |

| Keybuk | moment | 04:41 |
| hunger | Keybuk: oh, wait, I'll just build it here and push it over. | 04:41 |
| Surak | fabbione: the driver works on amd64, but gets stucked at 640x480. This patched file corrects that. I would like to compile the amd64 the ubuntu way. | 04:41 |
| fabbione | Surak: do you have a url for via graphic drivers on amd64 machines? | 04:42 |
| Surak | fabbione: I have a binary one, I don't remember anymore where I got it. | 04:42 |
| fabbione | Surak: i mean.. URL to the hw | 04:43 |
| fabbione | i have never seen via with amd64 | 04:43 |
| hunger | Keybuk: Aehm... how do I extract the files I downloaded from your site? There must be a debian way to do this... | 04:44 |
| fabbione | Keybuk: it's building.. | 04:45 |
| hunger | Ah... dpkg-source does the trick;-) | 04:45 |
| Keybuk | hunger: dpkg-source -x _.dsc | 04:45 |

| fabbione | Surak: oh breezy! | 04:50 |
| fabbione | Surak: nope.. | 04:50 |
| fabbione | Surak: only dapper... | 04:50 |
| fabbione | Surak: i see where you are going now.. | 04:50 |
| fabbione | Surak: you need to edit debian/control, search for the driver and change the line for the architecture | 04:51 |
| Surak | fabbione: that's why I've asked for help on compiling it. We ship ubuntu on those machines. And customers are not happy with 640x480... | 04:51 |
| fabbione | Surak: but breezy won't get an update | 04:51 |
| fabbione | it's something you are doing on your own | 04:51 |
| Surak | fabbione: oh I can't believe is that simple. I've been looking areound the whole x tree - duh | 04:51 |
| fabbione | Surak: that's the Debian part.. you will need to make sure via recongnized as valid driver on amd64 into the Xorg tree as well | 04:52 |
| fabbione | Surak: it's in an Imakefile | 04:52 |

| fabbione | i mean breezy | 04:55 |
| Surak | fabbione: sure. But does it qualify for breezy-backports? | 04:55 |
| fabbione | Surak: nope.. | 04:55 |

| xhaker | mjg59: sorry, i'm trying to explain that the same key spawns two diferent key codes? in gnome, at the keyboard shortcut applet | 06:11 |

| === Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| Seveas | doko, ping | 08:41 |
| bluefoxicy | Debian packages are more than simply archives of files; you need to account for files changing ownership between packages, diversions, actions of maintainer scripts, etc. | 08:41 |
| bluefoxicy | Believe me, there is more to this than finding copies of the files which came from the .deb, and even that isn't straightforward. | 08:41 |
| bluefoxicy | ^^^ specifically that, re taking a package vs a root at which it was installed and locating the files from the package | 08:41 |
| mdke | bluefoxicy, mdz wrote that, you can ask him. or follow that thread on the mailing list | 08:43 |
| Seveas | bluefoxicy, the postinst script can do arbitrary things, including creating, deleting and moving files. | 08:43 |
| bluefoxicy | mdke: I'm aware, but he's never gone into much detail with things. My experience with mdz is his arguments are largely "Look, you can't do that, there's reasons for it, it just doesn't work because things aren't that simple" | 08:44 |
| === pitti [n=pitti@ubuntu/member/pitti] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | Seveas: I'm aware of that, I just don't see it as something extremely common | 08:44 |
| bluefoxicy | I hardly think packages are majorly scripts that take a tarball that was created from a tree of files and shuffle it around for no real reason | 08:45 |
| Seveas | bluefoxicy, then you're terribly wrong I'm afraid | 08:45 |
| mdz | bluefoxicy: I've gone into more detail in the past; this is hardly the first time someone has proposed this | 08:46 |
| === JaneW [n=JaneW@dsl-146-172-155.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | if you didn't follow the previous discussions, please read the list archives | 08:46 |
| bluefoxicy | Seveas: so you mean if I like, unpack an xorg-server tarball, i'll get a blob of files in ./xorg/files/ that are all in one directory; and some script will actually build the directory tree from scratch? | 08:46 |
| bluefoxicy | mdz: "you need to account for files changing ownership between packages" <-- well at least that is straight false, which leads me to question. | 08:47 |
| mdz | bluefoxicy: I'm afraid it isn't | 08:47 |
| Seveas | bluefoxicy, search malone for Replaces: and Conflicts: to find keybugs rant about people abusing them | 08:47 |
| Seveas | it contains a very thorough explanation about it | 08:47 |
| mdz | install package foo, which contains /usr/bin/foo. package foo2 Replaces: foo, installs a different version of /usr/bin/foo | 08:48 |
| mdz | the version of /usr/bin/foo you need to reproduce the .deb is no longer available | 08:48 |
| bluefoxicy | mdz and? | 08:48 |
| mdz | and you lose | 08:48 |
| bluefoxicy | this proposal is not "let's create a reusable .deb file that's stripped down" | 08:48 |

| === KaiL [n=KaiL@p548F7E30.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | it's "add a hacked up backend to dpkg which tries to gather the necessary bits from a filesystem" | 08:49 |
| === KaiL [n=KaiL@p548F7E30.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | I understand what you're proposing and it's not something that I think is worthwhile | 08:49 |
| mdz | but if you want to try it, that's none of my business | 08:49 |
| doko | Seveas: pong | 08:49 |
| bluefoxicy | mdz yes; however, you seem to be missing the fact that the actual deb that needs the bits and the filesystem supplying them are both immutable and interdependent. | 08:49 |
| bluefoxicy | in other words the deb would be specifically stripped to match with a file system as it exists at that specific time, kind of like when you have a spanning zip archive to fit across 3-4 floppies and if you change the content of it you can't just update one of the floppies and hope it's okay. They're all one big unit. | 08:50 |
| Seveas | doko, re: the path issue: it has improved from being /usr/bin:/bin to /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games - still no /usr/sbin:/sbin though | 08:50 |
| mdz | bluefoxicy: all I can say is, good luck | 08:51 |
| bluefoxicy | mdz I could try it, though i'd have to find the unpacking routine in dpkg, probably have to wait until I have more time though because I'm writing a paper and jobhunting and about to go to a cyberdefense competition | 08:51 |
| mdz | don't expect anyone else to do this work | 08:51 |
| === mvo [n=egon@p54A65CBF.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | mdz I understand how debian works; if they don't think it's worthwhile, you can write something the size of the codebase in OpenOffice.org and they'll shrug and ignore it without a second look | 08:52 |
| bluefoxicy | and I understand how ubuntu works; if it doesn't get into debian, it doesn't get into ubuntu. | 08:52 |
| mjg59 | bluefoxicy: That's quite obviously untrue | 08:52 |
| mjg59 | The livecd is a good example of this | 08:53 |
| Kamion | gfxboot is another | 08:53 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: It's quite obviously fuzzy. I've seen the exact debian-ubuntu argument used to kick a few things back such as certain gcc compiler patches. | 08:53 |
| bluefoxicy | "We'll do that when debian does that" | 08:53 |
| doko | Seveas: ok, asking Mithrandir (he did the PATH magic) | 08:53 |
| mjg59 | bluefoxicy: Individual maintainers have different policies. | 08:53 |
| Kamion | bluefoxicy: that's obviously a matter of resources | 08:53 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: fair. | 08:53 |
| mjg59 | With basic infrastructure like gcc, there's an incentive to stay close to Debian. It means there's more people looking at problems that come up. | 08:54 |
| Kamion | bluefoxicy: Ubuntu has finite resources, and it's important to make use of the (often) bigger development/testing community in Debian where possible/sensible | 08:54 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: although I'm quite sure an entire distro isn't going to use a modified version of apt/dpkg that has no chance of making it into mainline debian | 08:54 |
| bluefoxicy | at any rate | 08:54 |
| Kamion | that's true | 08:54 |
| bluefoxicy | this discussion has gone far off into tangent | 08:54 |
| Kamion | although you're certainly welcome to prototype ideas that can then be looked at with a little more experience | 08:54 |
| doko | bluefoxicy: even staying close to upstream. gcc very rarely sees patches which are not integrated upstream | 08:55 |
| bluefoxicy | heh. | 08:55 |
| Seveas | doko, btw: root path includes the /sbin's and missed /usr/games - that seems correct | 08:55 |

| wasabi | Any movement on an Ubuntu port to arm? | 09:49 |
| sivang | pitti: ping | 09:49 |
| sivang | pitti: any idea why hal's property capacity returns different values depends on the CD ? I have one CD which it reports 200MB for | 09:50 |
| sivang | pitti: any idea how to get the real capacity? | 09:50 |
| sivang | sjoerd: ^^ | 09:50 |
| Burgwork | wasabi, most of the pieces are there, due to it being mostly debian and there was an effort. see EmbeddedUbuntu on the wiki | 09:51 |
| wasabi | k | 09:51 |
| sjoerd | sivang: dunno, is it a blank cd or a written one with 200mb's of data ? | 09:51 |
| sivang | sjoerd: one of the is a written one with 200MB of data :) | 09:51 |
| sivang | sjoerd: but capacity should be the theortical available space ,, not how much was consumed :) | 09:52 |
| sjoerd | dunno what the exact definition is | 09:53 |
| fabbione | sivang: for ro media it's sligtly different.. | 09:54 |
| fabbione | sivang: 200MB is correct becuase the session is closed and can't be reopened.. | 09:55 |
| fabbione | i guess xfce4 made it in main... | 09:57 |
| sivang | fabbione: I see, so instead of reporting the capacity it says how much was occupied? | 09:57 |
| fabbione | sivang: the capacity at that point is 200MB | 09:58 |
| fabbione | it's a corner case where the capacity becomes the same as used space | 09:58 |
| sivang | fabbione: okay, thanks, this helps alot :) | 09:58 |
| fabbione | think it as shrinking a partition that you can't grow anylonger | 09:58 |
| sivang | right | 09:58 |
| === sivang suddenly can't reproduce that :-) | ||
| sivang | fabbione: how can I find out how much room is left on an multisession, not finalized CD? | 09:59 |
| fabbione | sivang: no idea.. i don't have such luxury like empty/multisession CD's | 09:59 |

| mroth | the new xserver-xorg appears to have fixed bug 35172 , however no direct rendering / acceleration. Should I file a new bug against xserver-xorg-driver-i810 for that? | 11:14 |

| mroth | mjg59: the Xorg.log appears to be loading i810, so I would think so. Easy way to absolutely confirm? | 11:19 |
| mjg59 | mroth: No, that should be it | 11:19 |
| mroth | also, looks like bug 35739 is a duplicate of my 35172, or vice versa | 11:19 |

| wasabi | I have this strange desire to try to install Ubuntu on my n770. | 11:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | haha | 11:22 |
| wasabi | Wonder what the driver status is like in the kernel and X. | 11:23 |
| HrdwrBoB | in it's own way, the 770 has a touch of ubuntu | 11:23 |
| HrdwrBoB | ;) | 11:23 |
| mjg59 | mroth: Ok. Is i915 (the kernel module) loaded? | 11:23 |
| HrdwrBoB | (daniels is working on it) | 11:23 |
| jdub | 770 shares the same wonderful roots with ubuntu :) | 11:24 |
| mjg59 | sladen: Around? | 11:26 |
| sivang | wasabi: what's n770 ? | 11:26 |
| wasabi | the nokia handheld. | 11:26 |
| zyga | sivang: nokia linux based handheld | 11:26 |
| Riddell | mjg59: he's not | 11:26 |
| zyga | with the open source maemo platform | 11:26 |
| zyga | rather not sucessfull due to limited memory and lack of extensibility | 11:26 |
| wasabi | Yeah. Not too happy with it. I mean, it's pretty neat. | 11:27 |
| jdub | zyga: ... it has been very successful, moreso than expected | 11:27 |
| wasabi | But I can't use it for anything. | 11:27 |
| jdub | certainly it's a 1.0 product, but it's doing nicely | 11:27 |
| wasabi | The software that is ported is simple stuff, Gaim, etc. | 11:27 |
| wasabi | Not even a usable email client. | 11:27 |
| jdub | (the new firmware is going to rock) | 11:27 |
| wasabi | What about it? | 11:27 |
| wasabi | jdub: know something I don't? :) | 11:28 |
| jdub | everything | 11:28 |
| jdub | speedier, cool new apps | 11:28 |
| zyga | jdub: the software is but the hardware had rather bad reviews and I tend to agree looking at the specs | 11:28 |
| wasabi | I'm disappointed that it doesn't jujst work like normal linux. | 11:28 |
| wasabi | This /var/lib/install stuff is stupid. | 11:28 |
| sivang | zyga: ah, kiko has one like this | 11:28 |
| mroth | mjg59: i915 is not loaded. | 11:28 |
| jdub | zyga: it's a tiny bit slow, but work is being done on that | 11:28 |
| wasabi | I'd just assume have a normal distro base, and Maemo to be nothing more than a desktop environment. | 11:29 |
| sivang | he played Dome or something on it when I set next to him | 11:29 |
| zyga | jdub: if it had 256M the it'd be really awsome | 11:29 |
| zyga | no memory == really useless in 12+ months | 11:29 |
| zyga | cpu speed is not that much of an issue but with no swap space you are pretty limited | 11:29 |
| wasabi | At least, I think I'll make Hildon packages for Ubuntu. | 11:29 |
| wasabi | If possible. | 11:29 |
| mroth | mjg59: modprobe i915 and restarting X does not produce DRI, however | 11:30 |
| jdub | that's really not true - look at the playstation, xbox, etc. not much memory, but the apps get better and better because the developers learn how to get the best out of it | 11:30 |
| === Drac[Server] [n=Draccy@c-24-131-173-31.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | mroth: Anything in dmesg when i815 is loaded? | 11:30 |
| jdub | s/it$/the platform/ | 11:30 |
| wasabi | I'm actually kinda excited about teh UMPCs | 11:30 |
| zyga | jdub: true but those are very vertical applications, not gereric 'office' apps like email and web browser | 11:30 |
| mroth | mjg59: only "[drm] initialized drm 1.0.0" | 11:30 |
| zyga | jdub: do you think that 64M is enough? seriously? | 11:31 |
| jdub | absolutely | 11:31 |
| zyga | I work on embedded stuff daily | 11:31 |
| zyga | our boxes have 32 megs and do awsome stuff | 11:31 |
| mroth | mjg59: this is a 945GM chipset with a GMA950 card, perhaps i915 is not the proper driver (or it needs a more recent upstream?) | 11:31 |
| mjg59 | mroth: Ok. So the kernel module doesn't support it | 11:31 |
| zyga | but that's not open source software with genericness, | 11:31 |
| j^ | gates 640k is enugh, jdub 64M is enough... | 11:31 |
| zyga | and besides... we'll never put firefox there | 11:32 |
| mjg59 | i915 is the right driver, though | 11:32 |
| zyga | nor will maemo | 11:32 |
| Amaranth | mjg59: does the xserver-xgl package contain a full xorg source tree? | 11:32 |
| mjg59 | Amaranth: The source package contains a full xserver/xorg tree, yes | 11:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | zyga: firefox needs 100+, esp with it's worthless X pixmap handling | 11:32 |
| Drac[Server] | I know you don't like support questions, but I have an interesting problem and a worthy cause. I'm trying to set up a small example of how my school can use Linux as its pirmary OS, even with networking and such. I will then present my finalized, tweaked and networked ubuntu machines to the tech department. I hope to convince them to switch. Will somebody here be willing to help me? | 11:32 |
| mjg59 | minimo needs much less than that | 11:32 |
| zyga | HrdwrBoB: we don't run X, does maemo? | 11:32 |
| mjg59 | It's easily usable in 64MB | 11:32 |
| jdub | zyga: it's very early on in the product lifecycle - the software was actually developed quite late in the process. the next firmware improves in this respect. | 11:33 |
| jdub | and opera is used in devices with less than 64MB RAM | 11:33 |
| zyga | jdub: then I'll look forward to this | 11:33 |
| zyga | I wanted to buy n770 last week actually but I learned that it lacks a phone support and was mildly dissapointed | 11:33 |
| zyga | maybe 2.0 hardware with phone, better apps and more memory will be interesting | 11:33 |
| mjg59 | zyga: There's a specific desire not to make it a phone. It's way too big to be used as one. | 11:34 |
| zyga | jdub: opera is nice for embedded stuff, yes! :) | 11:34 |
| zyga | mjg59: even so a GPRS web browser is usefull | 11:34 |
| mjg59 | zyga: So you have to carry a phone /anyway/ | 11:34 |
| zyga | a wifi-only device is limited uness you live in a major capital city with free wifi (And I don't) | 11:34 |
| jdub | i thought it would fail based on the lack of mobile hardware | 11:34 |
| mjg59 | So it might as well just do bluetooth to that | 11:34 |
| jdub | but now i understand - phones are phones, browsers are browsers | 11:35 |
| Drac[Server] | Apparently not. I remain ignored. | 11:35 |
| jdub | devices that try to do both *suck rocks* | 11:35 |
| wasabi | Yeah, I agree with that wholeheartidly. | 11:35 |
| jdub | Drac[Server] : #ubuntu for support foo | 11:35 |
| wasabi | I do not want my n770 to be a phone. | 11:35 |
| zyga | mjg59: two devices, two batteries, I prefer one GPRS but that's just my personal opinion | 11:35 |
| zyga | jdub: windows smartphones are quite nice, a friend of mine has one | 11:35 |
| Drac[Server] | jdub, I'm quite aware of that. Do you know how useless that channel is when it comes to remotely complicated problems? | 11:35 |
| wasabi | Drac[Server] : well, read the topic here, then. | 11:36 |
| zyga | (every time I think of changing my current phone I'm turned down by the lack of ssh to that smartphone though ;-) | 11:36 |
| mjg59 | zyga: I like to be able to phone people without either having a silly device attached to my head or holding something the size of a small brick to it | 11:36 |
| jdub | Drac[Server] : yeah, but this channel is equally useless for different reasons 8) you might want to ask about it on the edubuntu mailing list | 11:36 |
| mjg59 | Drac[Server] : Emailing the sounders list may be your best bet | 11:36 |
| jdub | Drac[Server] : they have particular interest in schools, thin clients, etc. | 11:36 |
| mjg59 | Or edubuntu, as Jeff says | 11:36 |
| zyga | mjg59: actually my friend always uses a pocket headset | 11:36 |
| wasabi | Splitting out the part of Maemo that is hte unix desktop environment, to me, is a good idea. | 11:37 |
| mjg59 | zyga: Yeah, but the majority of people don't | 11:37 |
| wasabi | So I can apt-get install it on Ubunut, for instance. | 11:37 |
| zyga | mjg59: that probably depends on the sample :-) | 11:37 |
| zyga | most drivers do | 11:37 |
| jdub | wasabi: their developer livecd is based on ubuntu, and ships with maemo | 11:37 |
| mjg59 | Coming from a GTK development background, Maemo is lovely to develop for | 11:37 |
| wasabi | jdub: But it doesn't run Maemo as part of the live cd. | 11:37 |
| mjg59 | I ported dasher in less than a day | 11:37 |
| wasabi | jdub: It uses scratchbox. | 11:37 |
| jdub | so you can run it in an appropriately sized xnest | 11:37 |
| wasabi | Which is quite different from actually having Maemo/Hildon be a viable Normal Unix UI. | 11:38 |
| zyga | I'd like a device like that with flash disk (CF internal) and more more ram | 11:38 |
| zyga | then I'd trade my PSP for it and have a nice browser :) | 11:38 |
| mroth | mjg59: should I file something against kernel-source re: the i915? or.. | 11:39 |
| mjg59 | mroth: Yeah | 11:40 |
