BurgworkkermitX_, hmm, that be some optics problems12:06
LaserJockoptics?12:14
Burgworkoptics is how something appears. Marketing term12:14
LaserJockoh12:14
LaserJockI was thinking optics as in laser optics :-)12:14
Burgworksomething like landscape-client may actually be a godo thing and be gpl'ed, but lack of information means that there is a lot of FUD flying around12:14
Burgworkpersonally, I don't see why they don't just announce what it is, now that they have effectively announced it via dapper-changes12:15
FujitsuOh for goodness sake...12:15
FujitsuSomebody in #ubuntu is complaining that there is no easy facility to downgrade.12:16
Burgworkno, dpkg doesn't support it12:16
LaserJockFujitsu: that's a long standing problem with dpkg, i think12:16
LaserJocknot that anyone would really want to downgrade. Dapper is so awesome ;-)12:17
FujitsuHe's doesn't want to accept that he can't downgrade...12:17
FujitsuHow silly.12:17
Burgworkit is a legit use case, just a hard one to implement12:17

infinitydesrt: My Thinkpad does.02:50
desrthow does gnome handle it?02:50
=== desrt just wrote a C program to control brightness on macbook but doesn't know the "proper" way to tell gnome about it
infinityLook at gnome-power-manager's source.02:51

desrthow does g-p-m grab the keyboard keys?02:53
infinityIt doesn't... That's lower-level... hotkey-setup, probably.02:54
desrtneat.02:55
infinityI just happen to know that g-p-m twiddles brightness for other reasons, hence the suggestion to look there for how to do it via hal.02:56

FujitsuHi, licio.03:04
bluefoxicyIt occurs to me this is the only place I'm likely to get a hint on where to look for profiling stuff on Ubuntu.  Any ideas?  or is this more "rebuild the whole system, patch the kernel, run this analysis software, gather these output files, look at these in this way, run this parser"03:04
mdkeinfinity: ah. I googled you yesterday and found your girlfriend's site. it's scary03:04
liciohi Fujitsu 03:04
infinitymdke: It doesn't scare me so much. :P03:04
bluefoxicy(in particular I want to see how much time is spent in shared objects versus the main executable; this could be VERY SIGNIFICANT in making an argument on building Edgy with position independent executables or working on that for Edgy+1)03:04

infinityajmitch: python2.4 in sid should be happening in the next week or two.04:02
ajmitchwe agreed to drop zope2.8 from sid last night, iirc04:02
infinityajmitch: Of course, doko may decide that he wants to try python2.5 in edgy. :)04:02
infinity(Probably not, though)04:02
ajmitcheven if doko wants 2.5, the python-support stuff should avoid having lots of python2.5-* packages04:02
infinityHopefully.04:03
ajmitchzope2.8 is the last big user of python2.3 specific packages in dapper, we can drop it for edgy04:03
ajmitchI had to add a couple of python2.3 packages to universe, taking source from main04:03
ajmitcha nasty mess :)04:03
FujitsuWhy?04:04
ajmitchzope2.8 requires python2.3-xml, for example04:04

FujitsuAnd Colin modified all of them shortly afterwards.04:11
FujitsuHow many Canonical-based Ubuntu devs are there?04:11

infinityFujitsu: 99% of d-i/ubiquity bugs that looks like dupes aren't.04:12

ajmitchbluefoxicy: pax?04:33
zulbluefoxicy: let me guess you used gentoo at one point?04:33
bluefoxicyajmitch:  mm, actually just doing PIE04:33
bluefoxicyajmitch:  compiling a program as position independent executable imposes a 0.99% performance overhead.  Compiling with -fomit-frame-pointer gives a 5% performance increase; however, this is ineffective with PIE on x86.04:34
bluefoxicyajmitch:  assuming we rely on the 5% performance gain from -fomit, that's total 6% slow-down from PIE; but it only affects the main executable04:34
TheMusoc04:34
TheMusosorry...04:34
bluefoxicyThe result of using a position independent executable is that the main executable .text segment and heap become segments in a dynamic elf binary, identical to a shared object.  This allows the base of the main executable AND the heap to take full advantage of existing mmap() randomization in vanilla linux since 2.6.12, as well as higher-entropy PaX randomization if a grsecurity kernel is used (which there is discussion of on04:36
bluefoxicy the wiki)04:36

=== LeeJunFan [n=junfan@adsl-69-210-207-5.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
bluefoxicyI'm trying to quantify 'free' by determining how much code actually executes in the main executable; so far, Xorg's main executable accounts for 8% of my CPU usage here for the whole system.  Using oprofile it seems that total (grepping out any image with .so in it) every main executable including Xorg uses about 10% of the CPU04:37
FujitsuHmm.04:38
bluefoxicythe next most intensive thing was The Battle for Wesnoth (0.54%), oprofiled (0.477%), gtk-gnutella (0.2581%), and metacity (0.0757%)04:38
bluefoxicyhowever04:38
bluefoxicyI have nfc how to really use oprofile04:39
FujitsuIf a bug was caused by a dodgy BIOS, and was fixed by an update, is it invalid?04:39
bluefoxicyI just started it up and then ran oreport to see wtf is going on :P04:39
bluefoxicyzul:  Yes, I used gentoo with full PaX, PIE, and propolice.  Fedora Core 5 includes full FORTIFY_STACK, ProPolice (gcc 4.1 merged), light address space randomization via mainline and exec shield (with heap randomization not in mainline-- this breaks things occasionally), and a few daemons like Apache built as PIE04:40

bluefoxicyzul:  I believe this may be a good direction for Ubuntu to take, with Edgy or Edgy+1; PIE is a hard argument because Theo de Raadt, Ingo Molnar, and Arjan van de Ven will all tell you that it's extremely expensive and makes the system unbearably slow without providing any use cases or numbers to back this up04:41

bluefoxicyhere's a question06:34
bluefoxicy1.8% execution performance overhead06:34
bluefoxicyFor every 60 minutes of continuous maxed 100% CPU usage without a break, 1 additional minute of execution time is needed to complete the task.06:34
bluefoxicyHonestly, do we care?06:34
sfllawbluefoxicy: It depends.  It's a bit of a loaded question you're asking.06:38
sfllawForeground or background task?  Interactive or batch?  Latency or bandwidth constrained?  I/O or CPU driven?06:39
bluefoxicysfllaw:  system wide, compiler modification that allows a security guarantee to be made on the probability that any given instance of an attack can actually result in exploitation of a known security hole.06:40
bluefoxicysfllaw:  CPU driven.06:40
sfllawYou mean you're adding in code to compiled applications?06:40
bluefoxicyno06:40
sfllawOr is this static analysis?06:40
desrtok.  next task06:40
desrtlearn how to install an initscript06:40
bluefoxicysfllaw:  open a shell and do:  /lib/libc.so.606:41
bluefoxicysfllaw:  (just trust me on this one, it'll work)06:41
sfllawI know it does.06:41
bluefoxicyok06:41
bluefoxicyYou know why that works right?06:41
bluefoxicylibc.so.6 has a _main(), and is thus an executable program, but is position independent and all because it's a library06:41
sfllawYes.06:42
bluefoxicywell on IA-32, doing this to a program causes a 0.99% decrease in execution speed of the code in the main executable of the program; also, using -fomit-frame-pointer normally gives a 5% increase in execution speed, but this is completely ineffective with position independent code.06:42
bluefoxicy6% total decrease in execution speed of the code06:43
Burgundaviacrimsun: you around?06:43
bluefoxicyHowever, system-wide, according to oprofile only 10% of the code executed on my system in a half hour was in any main executable; 8% of that was in Xorg (spends a lot of time in the main executable huh?) and the rest were all around 1/2 percent except battle for wesnoth06:43
bluefoxicyOverall, that's a 0.6% decrease in execution speed (10% of the time you're in code that's 6% slower?)06:44
bluefoxicysfllaw:  However, I am guessing that the time spent in the main executable ranges from 1% to 30% and saying this is 0.06% to 1.8% performance hit06:44
bluefoxicy(percent of time spent in affected code times slowdown on execution of said code)06:45
bluefoxicysfllaw:  Randomization of the stack and mmap() base is nice, but a really crafty attacker can inject his stack frames in the heap (at a known base address) and return to a 'call system()' instruction with SFP putting the pointer somewhere appropriate in the heap06:46
bluefoxicythis would give a pretty damn workable method of completely nullifying the protection afforded by mmap()/stack randomization with 100% efficiency06:46
sfllawAre you proposing that we take out -fPIC for IA-32?06:46
bluefoxicyuh hell no.06:46
bluefoxicyOpposite way06:47
bluefoxicy(and also you can't take -fPIC out for IA-32, libraries break massively)06:47
bluefoxicyBy making the main executable a PIE, it suffers the noted performance slow-down; however, it also makes the described attack impossible, as the main .text segment is randomized via mmap() and the heap is an anonymous mapping randomized via mmap() (I *THINK* you need extra kernel code to actually randomize the heap though... I'm not sure it gets stuffed into the GOT)06:48
bluefoxicythus you can make a security guarantee that security attacks based on buffer overflows, double free()s, etc are likely to succeed 1 in every 2^27 times (134 million fail states, 1 success state)06:49
bluefoxicyin theory06:49
bluefoxicyI'm proposing that the main executables be built -fPIE (-fPIC for main executable) on all architectures, I just want to get a heads up on what the reaction to the predicted performance impact will be like :)06:50
bluefoxicysfllaw:  too much shit to think about at 1am?  :)06:52
sfllawHmm.06:52
sfllawI think it will be slightly controversial.06:52
sfllawBut not very.06:52
bluefoxicylikely.06:52
bluefoxicyI have had trouble with this in the past, tried to convince Arjan and Theo on it and they're.. well06:53
bluefoxicyArjan just evaded the issue06:53
bgertzfieldTheo is Theo.06:53
bgertzfieldWhat can you do?06:53
bluefoxicyTheo insisted that PIE is 'very expensive' and that the system would become excessively slow06:53
bluefoxicyand when I began to explain to him how encoding algorithms, compression libraries, plug-ins for anything, rendering engines, painting, etc are all in libraries and not affected (they're PIC anyway but it doesn't matter either way)06:53
bluefoxicyhis retort was that he didn't know who I am, and that he is the project lead for OpenBSD and "we invented this stuff" so he knows more about it than me :P06:54
bluefoxicyNeedless to say I'm expecting a lot of resistence06:54
sfllawDraw up a spec.06:55
bluefoxicyI KNOW RedHat has papers out (penned by Arjan) that say PIE has excessive, non-managable overhead; I don't know about OpenBSD.  As for me, i've run the stuff before (Gentoo)06:55
sfllawEdgy is cutting-edge.06:55
Burgundaviabluefoxicy: please focus on the good and not on Theo06:55

hileyeah, the reason I wanted 2.6.16 originally was CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS - now it seems it's not even needed, since we have CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=48 in default kernel12:30

\shmakko: so you need to give us a hint where and when it happened (locale selection, partitioning etc.) something like this, and better a procedure how to reproduce it02:26

=== Hobbsee cant really sleep with her laptop on - although i did once.

=== Hobbsee does not have her gender listed there.
=== Hobbsee does not have her picture there, for the same reason.
StevenKHeh03:54
highvoltageyeah, i'm hoping it links to a blog or web page or something03:54
ograHobbsee, edubuntu ltsp servers are a bit different, you use them in a classroom and hibernating might be faster than shutting them down03:55
StevenKIt's nice to hope.03:55
=== Hobbsee does not blog, and it does not link to a website that i used to run.

ograwell, at least i'd expect them to respect the CoC :)03:59
ogra(in an ubuntu channel)04:00
Hobbseewell...yeah...true...04:00
ograwe have some females in #edubuntu and i'd kick guys that behave overly chauvinistic ( highvoltage as well i'm sure) :)04:01
Hobbseetrue04:01
KaiL_Hobbsee, ask, is this girl is really a girl and after that, if she looks good? ;)04:02
Hobbseemost of the guys are decent - but there some who are just disturbing - which is why i tend to be pretty quiet about my gender.  and age, come to think of it04:02
highvoltageyes, i'll punch them, hit them, throw them off a cliff, electricute them... survivors will be kicked04:02
Hobbseehehe04:02
HobbseeKaiL_: hehe!04:02
HiddenWolfhighvoltage: I doubt that is CoC-approved behavior04:03
HiddenWolfhighvoltage: ;)04:03
highvoltageHiddenWolf: i'll do it out of ubuntu ;)04:03
StevenKI don't remember the CoC mentioning that throwing off a cliff is not allowed.04:04

StevenKhighvoltage has this simplified, and has his lounge room facing onto a cliff.04:04
StevenK"Come inside, and tell me your views on ..." *wait* *throw*04:05
highvoltageStevenK: and, when they fall off the cliff, they fall into a pool, conveniently next to industrial toasters (plugged in of course)04:05
Hobbseeah, thanks guys for giving me a laugh.  i needed that.04:05
=== StevenK buggers off to bed.
highvoltagegoodnight StevenK 04:10

Hobbseeso does that mean that throwing people off a cliff is CoC approved behaviour?04:11

ajmitchbring it up at a CC meeting04:12
highvoltageHobbsee: i think if you're not wearing your ubuntu shirt, it's outside of their jurisdiction (sp?)04:12
ograits not literally forbidden in the text04:12
highvoltagewe can file it under 'correctional behaviour'04:12

ograsure, its true, isnt it ? 04:14
Hobbsee:D04:14
=== Hobbsee goes racing around saying that ogra said that she could throw people off cliffs!

ograi didnt say that :)04:15
Hobbseewell...04:15
Hobbseeclose enough :P04:15
Hobbseeyou inferred it...04:16

ograwell, might depend on the country :)04:16
spaceyin the netherlands we don't have cliffs04:17

_lemsx1_how do i get libgcc_s.so.1 to be included in /etc/ld.so.cache ? adding /lib to /etc/ld.so.conf used to do the trick before (sudo ldconfig afterwards)10:43
_lemsx1_i'm trying to solve:10:43
_lemsx1_$> libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work10:44
_lemsx1_(!) [10972:    0.000]  --> Caught signal 6 (unknown origin) <--10:44
crimsunhmm? it's required and installed by default in libgcc110:45
crimsunlibgcc1: /lib/libgcc_s.so.110:45
infinity_lemsx1_: What problem are you seeing exactly?  libgcc_s.so.1 (when installed) is definitely in my /etc/ld.so.cache10:46
_lemsx1_infinity: the problem is that i have a program (splashy) that select()s a file handle waiting for it to change (same as usplash does)10:47
_lemsx1_infinity: if 2 min pass and no changes are done, i get that error i pasted above10:47
_lemsx1_crimsun: yes, i see the lib is in /lib in all my systems10:47

infinitylibgcc_s.so.110:48
infinity/lib/libgcc_s.so.110:48
infinityI did that before I answered you, honest.10:48
_lemsx1_infinity: ahhh, so how do i get my ld.so.cache to include this?10:48
infinityAnd it doesn't need to be in ld.so.conf... /lib is in the default search path.10:48
infinity(The only thing in my ld.so.conf is /usr/X11R6/lib)10:49
_lemsx1_i changed /etc/ld.so.conf (created it since it doesn't exists!) and added /lib\n/usr/lib\n/usr/local/lib\n and ran ldconfig10:49
crimsun(those should all be in the default ld path)10:50
_lemsx1_infinity: so ldconfig should create ld.so.cache even if ld.so.conf is not there... but why none of my dapper systems have it? i have a new dapper install in vmware as well as 2 old installations10:50
_lemsx1_i just did the same grep command on the vmware installation i installed yesterday and ld.so.cache doesn't have libgcc10:51
_lemsx1_ah, sorry. that does have it10:51
_lemsx1_i mispelled it: libcc instead of libgcc10:51
infinityNow, if I had to guess, I'd say your real problem isn't the contents of ld.so.cache.10:52
_lemsx1_infinity: ummm... i agree10:52
_lemsx1_infinity: i hate these problems... they never end10:52
infinityYour real problem is that if splashy relies on libgcc_s.so.1, but doesn't link directlty to it (as most apps that use it don't), then it's not getting copied to the initramfs.10:52
infinityIf it's not in the initramfs, splashy can't find it on boot.10:52
infinityThis is my guess, anyway.10:52
_lemsx1_infinity: no, this is running from the system after boot (not initramfs)10:53
infinityOh, if this isn't during boot, then... Hrm..10:53
_lemsx1_infinity: it only needs libgcc for pthread_cancel to work (usually at exit)10:53
_lemsx1_i googled it before and i get a post saying that libgcc_so wasn't in my ld path. i added it and it worked10:53
_lemsx1_there is no libgcc-dev package or anything... pthread is part of libc6 anyway10:54
infinity"libgcc-dev" is "gcc". :)10:55
_lemsx1_ummm but what does 'libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work' could mean then?10:56
