| infinity | mdz: And it works smashingly. No more usplash restarts (the text resetting is really ugly and "we couldn't quite do it right, so here you are" IMO) | 12:20 |
| infinity | nomed: udev should, ideally. | 12:20 |
| infinity | nomed: Why? | 12:20 |
| mdz | infinity: that's how I did the patch the first time, and we decided to do it the current way instead because it was less intrusive | 12:21 |
| infinity | mdz: Ahh, I don't think I ever saw yours, then. | 12:21 |
| mdz | and that was 4 weeks ago | 12:21 |
| infinity | mdz: This works much better. | 12:21 |
| nomed | infinity: i'm trying to figure out how to use the root=LABEL=xxx | 12:21 |
| mdz | (actually, I did it with a pid file for usplash, to avoid users being able to keep their processes alive during shutdown by naming them 'usplash') | 12:22 |
| nomed | but debugin the initramfs it seems i do not get the by-label entries .. | 12:22 |
| infinity | nomed: You just do. But it helps if your partitions have sensible labels on them. | 12:22 |
| infinity | mdz: I did it this way to protect the whole usplash namespace intentionally. (so as to not catch a stray usplash_write in progress or something). | 12:22 |
| infinity | mdz: IMO, a user naming a process usplash so it doesn't get killed is shooting himself in the foot and I don't much care. :) | 12:23 |
| infinity | mdz: Also, not having killall start reading random pid files seemed a lot less intrusive to me. It's already walking proc, so we get this info for free. | 12:25 |
| infinity | mdz: It also knows the full path to the executable, if you think "/sbin/usplash" would be safer. | 12:26 |
| mdz | infinity: he's not only shooting himself in the foot, he could be malicious and interfere with our attempts to quiesce the system before turning it off | 12:27 |
| mdz | infinity: there was nothing random in my patch; it accepted a parameter to exclude a pid from being killed | 12:27 |
| infinity | mdz: Okay, fair enough for randomly-names images. /sbin/usplash wouldn't suffer that issue, though. | 12:28 |
| === Harti [n=Harti@unaffiliated/harti] has left #ubuntu-devel ["-carpe] | ||

| nomed | or better .. in which cases is needed root=4:2 for ex .. ? | 12:37 |

| infinity | That's why we try to do it for you. | 12:38 |
| nomed | i see :) | 12:38 |
| nomed | so in real it is "a special case" while using udev within an initramfs .. | 12:39 |

| mdke | I would like to send an email to lots of ubuntu contributors who are listed in a file, but I am concerned about getting blacklisted or something, I don't know how these things work | 02:08 |
| Amaranth | send a seperate email for each one | 02:08 |
| Amaranth | sending to lots of people all in one go will probably flag it as spam | 02:08 |
| Robot101 | if you operate the sending server, or the administrator is happy for you to do it, you can send one mail to multiple recipients with no problems | 02:09 |

| mdke | it's still churning them out here | 03:36 |
| mdke | i can't wait for the rejections | 03:36 |
| infinity | mdke: Why public domain? Just to avoid attribution hassles that a free copyright would bring? | 03:36 |
| mdke | yeah, that's basically it. Attribution, and relicensing | 03:37 |
| crimsun | I'm all about public domain. | 03:37 |
| infinity | Well, relicensing is simple if you pick an uber-free licese, like the MIT/X11/BSD license. | 03:38 |
| infinity | But some people dislike having their attribution stripped, that's all. | 03:38 |
| infinity | For a wiki, I don't really give a shit. :) | 03:38 |
| infinity | None of the content there is brilliant enough for me to want my name on it anyway. | 03:38 |
| mdke | infinity: we looked at those, they all seemed to contain a "if you modify, you must use the same licence" thing | 03:38 |
| mdke | but anyway, it's a wiki | 03:38 |
| mdke | as you say | 03:39 |
| === Amaranth_ [n=amaranth@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| infinity | mdke: No, with BSD/MIT/X11, if you modify, you must retain the license text. That's not the same as not being able to relicense. | 03:40 |
| mdke | hmm | 03:41 |
| infinity | mdke: BSD/MIT/X11 stuff can be relicense as GPL (a common case in the free software world), proprietary (Windows has lots of BSD code in it), or anything else you want, so long as the copyright text is preserved somewhere. | 03:41 |
| infinity | mdke: Hence what I meant about "using a free copyright license keeps attribution intact", since that's really all the BSD license does. | 03:41 |
| mdke | ok, so sort of dual-licensed on modification? | 03:41 |
| infinity | BSD reads more like "public domain with attribution"... Which is nonsense, since public domain protects no rights, so BSD uses copyright law to protect exactly one right -- attribution -- and nothing else. | 03:42 |
| infinity | You could sum the license up in one sentence, but it would be less elegant: "Do whatever you like with this code, but if you do, you must keep my name in it, kthxbye" | 03:43 |
| infinity | mdke: Like I said, for a wiki, I don't care one way or the other anyway. Just typing for the sake of typing, I think. | 03:43 |
| mdke | well, I'm learning | 03:43 |
| mdke | I didn't look closely at those licenses | 03:43 |
| infinity | mdke: Well, and because I don't think anyone involved with Free Software should ever be confused about licensing. | 03:43 |
| infinity | (since we hinge a LOT on understanding and manipulating copyright law... More so than priprietary software vendors do) | 03:44 |
| mdke | sure | 03:44 |
| mdke | that was part of the reason for trying to clarify the wiki situation | 03:44 |
| === infinity nods. | ||
| infinity | Just be glad that most Ubuntu users probably aren't license pedants, so the relicensing should go okay. | 03:45 |
| mdke | :) | 03:45 |
| infinity | Had you sent that to a bunch of Debian users/developers, I'd fear for the flamewar that would ensue based on the conclusion of the email. | 03:45 |
| === mdke realises he should have set reply-to community-council | ||
| === bddebian starts flaming :-) | ||
| infinity | (The bit that says "If we don't hear back from many people, we'll assume it's all good and relicense the whole thing") | 03:46 |
| infinity | Since you so CANNOT do that legally. | 03:46 |
| mdke | infinity: well, that's quite debateable, I think | 03:46 |
| infinity | If you don't have consent of the original content writer, you can either stop distributing their content or keep the license as they intended (whatever that was). | 03:46 |
| infinity | You can't relicense their stuff. Ever. | 03:46 |
| mdke | you could quite easily argue that posting to a wiki implies an intention to give the content away | 03:47 |
| mdke | i think, anyway | 03:47 |
| mjg59 | mdke: You could argue that, but you'd lose the lawsuit | 03:47 |
| infinity | Only if we have a TOS that says that. | 03:47 |
| mdke | mjg59: thanks :/ | 03:47 |
| infinity | Posting copyrighted material on the internet doesn't magically make it free. | 03:47 |
| Burgundavia | infinity, really? half the internet seems to think that | 03:47 |
| mdke | no, but posting it to a collaborative resource where everyone modifies the pages all the time could imply a waiver of copyright | 03:48 |
| infinity | Burgundavia: I know they do. Doesn't make them right. | 03:48 |
| mjg59 | mdke: Copyright is one of those things that it's very hard to give up implicitly | 03:48 |
| mdke | infinity: what they think *is* exactly the point | 03:48 |
| Burgundavia | infinity, I have dealt with fun at wikipedia | 03:48 |
| infinity | "The website HTML, text, images audio, video, software or other content that is made available on this website are the property of someone - the author in the case of content produced elsewhere and reproduced here with permission, or Canonical or its content suppliers. Before you use this content in some way please take care to ensure that you have the relevant rights and permissions from the copyright holder." | 03:48 |
| infinity | mdke: That's OUR legal disclaimer, linked on the bottom of every wiki page. | 03:48 |
| mdke | yeah, I know. | 03:49 |
| infinity | mdke: So, there's no reason to imply that users should think they don't own the content they post. | 03:49 |
| infinity | Cause we clearly tell them that they DO. | 03:49 |
| mdke | in respect of the website | 03:49 |
| infinity | You're going to split hairs and tell me that www.u.c and wiki.u.c aren't related, despite sharing the same legal notice? | 03:50 |

| infinity | mdke: Oh well. I wish you luck when you butt heads with someone with less of an "oh well, I don't really care about wiki content anyway" attitude than me. | 03:51 |
| mdke | infinity: that copyright notice doesn't really exclude what I'm saying, because I'm relying on an implied license | 03:51 |
| infinity | mdke: There's no such thing as an implied license. | 03:51 |
| mjg59 | mdke: Can you point at any cases where the concept of an implied copyright license has been upheld? | 03:51 |
| infinity | mdke: We have an implied license to distribute the content if it's posted, we do not OWN it, so we can't strip the owner's copyright. | 03:52 |
| mdke | mjg59: I'll have a look, I haven't done any research | 03:52 |
| mdke | but licenses are contracts, and you can easily have contractual obligations which arise from conduct | 03:52 |
| infinity | You're talking about implied copyright tranferral, not implied licensing. | 03:52 |
| mdke | especially estoppels | 03:52 |
| infinity | You would never argue that if I posted a cool image I drew on a bulletin board that it would imply that the board owner owned the image, would you? | 03:53 |
| mdke | no, i wouldn't | 03:53 |

| infinity | You can't relicense it in the public domain if you don't own it. | 03:54 |
| mdke | well, I don't intend to | 03:54 |
| mdke | I'm arguing that when you post a document to a collaborative resource that you know is going to be changed by others, you are granting a licence to the world to use the material as they wish | 03:54 |
| infinity | You have an implied license to distribute on your website, where it was posted. That's the only implies license I see without a TOS stating otherwise. | 03:54 |
| mdke | but, it's only arguable, I think | 03:54 |
| mdke | I'm not saying I'm right for sure | 03:55 |
| infinity | You'd definitely lose that one in court. :/ | 03:55 |
| mdke | that's hard to say, since neither of us have specified which legal system we're talking about or looked anything up | 03:55 |
| infinity | Canada and the US are the two I often play in. Australia, recently, since it's become more relevant to me since moving here. | 03:55 |
| infinity | You'd be screwed in all 3 of those. | 03:56 |
| infinity | I suppose you'd be fine in Taiwan, where they only vaguely know what "copyright" is to start with. | 03:56 |
| dieman | hah | 03:56 |
| infinity | (Which is great IN Taiwan, a pain when trying to do business internationally) | 03:56 |
| mjg59 | mdke: But that obviously can't hold, since people posting to Wikipedia are only consenting that their material be released under the GFDL | 03:56 |
| mjg59 | (which is a lot more restrictive than public domain) | 03:56 |
| mdke | mjg59: wikipedia specifies the GFDL | 03:56 |
| bddebian | Oh, I got it too | 03:57 |
| mdke | but let's not argue about it | 03:57 |
| infinity | mdke: Right, ans we specify nothing but "you own the copyright to the stuff you post" | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | mdke: So if people posting to one wiki are only doing so in the expectation of giving up some rights, why are you arguing that people posting to another wiki are implicitly giving up all rights? | 03:57 |
| mdke | mjg59: because in the case of wikipedia their expectations are defined by the specific statement of what licence material is released under | 03:58 |
| mjg59 | I don't think you can argue that an expectation of "Do whatever you want with this" holds | 03:58 |
| mdke | anyway | 03:58 |
| mjg59 | Since that doesn't apply to the most popular wiki in the world | 03:58 |
| mdke | who cares? we're doing it the safe way anyway | 03:58 |
| infinity | mdke: "If you don't say anything, we'll assume consent" isn't safe. | 03:58 |

| mdke | but in the absolutely worst case scenario, people can only bring a legal suit if they've suffered a loss | 04:00 |

| mdke | and they are hardly likely to lose out on profit made by wiki material | 04:00 |
| mjg59 | mdke: No | 04:00 |
| mjg59 | mdke: Most legal systems have statutory damages for copyright infringement | 04:00 |
| infinity | They can bring criminal charges. | 04:00 |
| mjg59 | infinity: That's rather more dependent | 04:01 |
| infinity | Copyright is not just a civil offense in most countries. | 04:01 |
| infinity | (But we'd just take the content down after a C&D, it would never hit a court) | 04:01 |
| mjg59 | In the UK, at least, small scale infringement for non-profit is generally civil rather than criminal | 04:01 |

An attempt at a reasonable compromise might be to give people a month to withdraw the material, if they care, and if they don't reply, assume that they've given up the material. Where that's wrong, it can be dealt with on a case by case basis by the CC., no doubt | 04:25 |

| lamont | crimsun: if it's RC, then the fix goes into hoary-{updates,security} as appropriate, if not, then "please test in dapper" | 04:48 |
| crimsun | afaics, our policy has been to ask them to reproduce the issue(s) in dapper first | 04:48 |

| mdke | hi nomed | 03:48 |
| Mithrandir | nomed: if you want to store the cow fs in a file, you have to use vfat for the fs where you store the cow file. If you use a device directly as a cow device, it can be any fs which is supported by the initramfs and which supports traditional unix semantics. | 03:48 |
| nomed | hey mdke :) | 03:48 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: k thanks .. | 03:50 |
| Mithrandir | nomed: I believe the code works the way I've told you now, if not please do tell me and I can fix it. | 03:51 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: yes .. the code works in this way .. | 03:51 |
| nomed | the problem are not clear infos on the wiki ... | 03:51 |
| Mithrandir | nomed: the reason for not allowing the cow file to be on ext2/ext3 is you can't mount those without causing data corruption if they're in use by a suspended system. | 03:52 |
| nomed | see: LiveCDPersistence (Using a Loopback File) ... | 03:52 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: yep :) | 03:52 |

| nomed | Mithrandir: other question ... | 03:59 |
| nomed | some months ago i played with unionfs as rootfs ... | 04:00 |
| nomed | and there were serious problem during the "umount" ... | 04:00 |
| nomed | and not just in case of "suspend" ... | 04:01 |
| nomed | i'd like to try to play with casper allowing to boot an iso from an hd partition instead of a cdrom .. | 04:02 |
| nomed | do you already know any other particular issue doing this ? | 04:03 |
| === xhaker [n=xhaker@a213-22-29-58.cpe.netcabo.pt] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Mithrandir | just make a casper/ directory and put a filesystem.squashfs there, on a vfat partition and it'll just work. | 04:04 |
| nomed | yes ... | 04:04 |
| nomed | so you do not suggest to use ext3 *never* ? | 04:04 |
| Mithrandir | for casper? Sure, using ext3 on a cow device directly is fine. | 04:05 |
| nomed | emm .. | 04:05 |
| _ion | #define cow \ | 04:05 |
| nomed | i mean i put the iso file on an hd ... | 04:06 |
| nomed | and i boot it from there ... | 04:06 |
| nomed | i'll abviously need to mount -o loop the iso .. | 04:06 |
| Mithrandir | _ion: copy-on-write. | 04:06 |
| _ion | mithrandir: Ah, thanks. | 04:06 |
| nomed | and then search the squashfs ... | 04:07 |
| nomed | but i'd like to know if it's a bad idea doing that on an ext3 fs .. | 04:07 |
| Mithrandir | nomed: no, casper doesn't support putting the ISO on a hard drive. It supports putting the squashfs on a hard drive. | 04:07 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: i see ... | 04:07 |
| nomed | but i'd like to add that ... | 04:08 |
| nomed | i don't mean i'd like to see it on casper :) | 04:08 |
| nomed | just that i would test it .. | 04:08 |
| Mithrandir | sure, that should be fairly easy to add | 04:08 |
| nomed | yes .. the question is if i shouldn't consider doing that on an ext3 fs | 04:09 |
| Mithrandir | it should be fine as long as you don't suspend to disk at the same time | 04:09 |
| nomed | ok | 04:09 |

| nomed | two questions more then it' over :) | 04:11 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: if i add as rw layer an hd partition, is it possible that there can be "data corruption"? | 04:12 |
| nomed | again ext3 fs .. | 04:13 |
| nomed | i 'm not sure how the "umount" all mounted partitions works in this case .. | 04:13 |
| === pygi_ [n=pygi@83.131.251.160] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| nomed | at the end of casper ? | 04:16 |
| omeg | dsas: sound hotkeys won't work when the laptop is booting up. It's too busy to respond to the request. | 04:17 |
| dsas | they work once the login process has started. | 04:18 |
| omeg | Didn't work for me. I also experience that the sound keys simply don't work when the computer is too busy in other operating systems. | 04:19 |
| dsas | Or at least when I hit enter for my password I hold my volume down button till the on screen display appears showing silence. | 04:19 |
| dsas | omeg: I was only proposing it as a work around anyway, so it doesn't really matter :) | 04:19 |
| omeg | I guess maybe I could try again. I still think it's an okay request for the wishlist, though. I wish my laptop had one of those old-fashioned wheels with which to turn down the volume rather than those fancy buttons. | 04:20 |
| omeg | Oh well, I'm going to try and sell it anyway. | 04:20 |
| sladen | omeg: what type of laptop? | 04:21 |
| dsas | omeg: I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with the request, I just gave that as an idea to use until it gets changed (if it does) | 04:21 |
| omeg | A Dell Inspiron 9100. | 04:21 |
| omeg | Three words: thick, loud, heavy. | 04:21 |
| omeg | On the other hand, it has a 3.0 GHz pentium 4, 256 MB video RAM, and a 1920x1200 WUXGA screen. Especially the latter is probably a good selling point. | 04:22 |
| sladen | omeg: I'm hoping for edgy to move volume control/etc down into a small non-GUI daemon | 04:23 |
| sladen | omeg: ...if other people go along with it | 04:24 |
