| Keybuk | they are ppc64s I think | 02:08 |
| infinity | The builds, not the buildds. | 02:09 |
| infinity | svu: There's no value in building binaries for ppc64 by default. | 02:09 |
| svu | Keybuk, only the kernel. all the rest is ppc32, according to file /usr/bin/* | 02:09 |
| infinity | svu: They just end up bigger and slower. | 02:09 |
| Keybuk | svu: that's normal | 02:09 |
| Keybuk | you don't want a 64-bit userland on ppc (or sparc) | 02:09 |
| svu | infinity, why slower? wouldn't it take advantage of faster operations on long operands? | 02:09 |
| mjr | cache-hogs | 02:10 |
| Keybuk | infinity: heh, clearly it is getting late | 02:10 |
| svu | Keybuk, why? why do people create 64-bit CPUs anyway?:) | 02:10 |
| infinity | svu: we provide a 64-bit libc, and for specific applications that will benefit from being compiled for ppc64, that can be done. | 02:11 |
| Keybuk | I think the AMD64 is pretty unique that it actually runs better in 64-bit mode than 32-bit, no? | 02:11 |
| mjr | Keybuk, pretty much | 02:11 |
| infinity | svu: In the general case, you lose performance. | 02:11 |
| Keybuk | that's more the suckage of ia32 though | 02:11 |

| infinity | svu: The same is true for sparc/sparc64, hppa/hppa64... You always want a 64-bit kernel, but you almost never want a 64-bit userland unless you know you do. | 02:12 |
| Chipzz | I'm wondering if we couldn't optimize gcc to use 16-bit registers on i386 | 02:12 |
| Chipzz | or even 8-bit :P | 02:13 |
| === imbrandon64 shoves Chipzz off a 4bit cliff | ||
| svu | infinity, what kind of advantage do I get with 64-bit kernel then? | 02:13 |
| Keybuk | I still have the Osbourne 4 and 8-bit Microprocessor Handbook somewhere | 02:14 |
| infinity | svu: The advantage of being able to run a few 64-bit binaries if you really need them? | 02:14 |
| Chipzz | I was only half-kidding actually | 02:14 |
| infinity | svu: And just the obvious case that on your hardware, people are probably testing the 64-bit kernel codepath more than the 32-bit one. | 02:14 |
| ajmitch | Keybuk: nice, all I have is one on 6502 assembly | 02:14 |
| dieman | and you can actualy use your memory if you have it | 02:14 |
| svu | infinity, :)) I see. I can run 64-bit binaries - but they are just not there in ubuntu:) | 02:14 |
| dieman | whomever came up with PAE on i386 should be shot, too | 02:14 |
| dieman | they should have just decided 'damnit, lets do something 64 bit' | 02:15 |
| infinity | svu: What specific binary did you want t obe 64-bit? Or is it just the principle of the thing? | 02:15 |
| dieman | rather than confusing the hell out of people who dont know how PAE works | 02:15 |
| Chipzz | a wild guess would be 40% or even 50% of all integer vars would fit in 16-bit containers | 02:15 |
| dieman | and thinking they can allocate over 4gb of memory | 02:15 |
| infinity | dieman: PAE is scary. | 02:15 |
| dieman | infinity: yes | 02:15 |
| dieman | infinity: you ever see the benchmarks that heanet.ie did with apache and pae? | 02:16 |
| svu | infinity, well, just the principle. In particular, I wonder would all the build tools (autotools/gcc/ld/....) work faster if they were 64-bit. Also OOo | 02:16 |
| dieman | infinity: 4GB was about the same peformance as 12GB | 02:16 |
| dieman | infinity: but 32GB you'd actually be doing fairly well | 02:16 |
| Chipzz | svu: OOo definately not | 02:16 |
| Keybuk | svu: why would they be faster? | 02:16 |

| === mjg59 [n=mjg59@cavan.codon.org.uk] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] | ||
| Keybuk | autotools is written in shell/perl -- that'd be hauling twice as much around, so be half the speed | 02:16 |
| HrdwrBoB | at that point, you'd be better off with a RAMSAN | 02:16 |
| infinity | svu: No, no, and no. And OOo won't even compile on 64-bit systems. | 02:17 |
| HrdwrBoB | (though I think everyone is better off with RAMSAN) | 02:17 |
| Keybuk | svu: what makes you think 64-bit data operations are faster than 32-bit ones? | 02:17 |
| Chipzz | svu: doesn't matter one bit for small integers | 02:17 |
| HrdwrBoB | infinity: we're lucky it compiles at all | 02:17 |
| svu | infinity, ok, I see. | 02:17 |
| Keybuk | svu: unless you're dealing with >32-bit word sizes | 02:17 |
| dieman | HrdwrBoB: they've got way too much disk though, i think | 02:17 |
| dieman | HrdwrBoB: its not just for a few GB of files, its more like a few TB im guessing. | 02:17 |
| svu | Keybuk, in SOME cases people use "long long", or even memcpy...? | 02:17 |
| Chipzz | svu: less cache hits, especially with OOo | 02:17 |
| dieman | HrdwrBoB: and i think they still use the apache disk cache module to pull popular files automatically to a striped raid | 02:18 |
| Keybuk | svu: you win some, but lose a lot from the larger instruction and data sizes | 02:18 |
| dieman | HrdwrBoB: and then an assload of ram for disk caching | 02:18 |
| Keybuk | 64-bit is basically useful for doing complex integer math | 02:18 |
| Keybuk | eg. SSL or MPEG or something | 02:18 |

| dieman | HrdwrBoB: yah | 02:19 |
| infinity | Keybuk: Some SQL servers seem to win from being 64-bit (if you have massive tables and indexes) | 02:19 |
| svu | Keybuk, ok, I see now... | 02:19 |
| Keybuk | yeah, that I can believe | 02:19 |
| infinity | Keybuk: But for most SQL usecases, 32-bit wins, so you really need to KNOW that you want 64-bit before you take the hit. | 02:19 |
| infinity | svu: ^^^^ | 02:19 |
| svu | Chipzz, yeah, that's what I meant - massive memory operations | 02:19 |
| Keybuk | I always find it amusing that almost the only 64-bit app in Solaris 9 was "sort" | 02:19 |
| Keybuk | it was the only one that benefited | 02:20 |
| infinity | svu: As a general rule, if you think that a dedicated machine of some sort may benefit from having something specific recompiled (say, postgresql, for instance), we provide the tools for you to easily do that and benchmark. | 02:20 |
| infinity | svu: Down the road, we intend to have better multiarch support, so it'll be trivial for us to provide ppc64 versions of certain libraries and applications that you MAY want 64-bit. | 02:21 |
| infinity | svu: But, the general use cases for just about everything will show you that 32-bit wins. If 64-bit wins for you, you're an oddity. | 02:21 |
| infinity | svu: (ie: massive data warehousing, etc) | 02:21 |
| svu | infinity, ok. I am not a gentoo person, I so I am not trying to squeeze every grain of performance - just trying to get a feeling, is there possible major win against the current arch... | 02:21 |
| Chipzz | infinity: but you can't mix 32 and 64-bits libraries anyway, right/ | 02:21 |
| Chipzz | ? | 02:21 |
| Keybuk | Chipzz: depends on the instruction set | 02:21 |
| Chipzz | I'm thinking calling conventions for one | 02:22 |
| infinity | Chipzz: Can't link both in the same memory space, no. (or, not worth trying) | 02:22 |
| svu | infinity, ok. But I did not get the answer regarding the altivec extension? | 02:22 |
| Chipzz | svu: stuff like that is hand-coded assembly in most cases anyway | 02:22 |
| infinity | svu: altivec is orthogonal to the 32/64-bit thing, and where we can use it effectively, we do (mplayer autodetects altivec support and uses it, libssl has an altivec optimised version, IIRC, etc) | 02:23 |
| Kamion | svu: altivec needs to be hand-coded, as Chipzz says | 02:23 |
| svu | Chipzz, I know - so I am asking is there that kind of assembly somewhere in kernel or openssl or smth | 02:23 |
| infinity | Actually not positive about the libssl thing. Does powerpc have hwcap support? | 02:23 |
| Kamion | there are hand-coded versions of a few things, yes | 02:23 |
| Chipzz | Kamion: not per se I think, but your compiler needs good support for it when you don't (which is only the case in recent gcc's) | 02:23 |
| Kamion | ok, very very recent gcc can do automatic vectorisation | 02:24 |
| svu | infinity, i know it is orthogonal, it was a separate question:) do you ship altivec-optimized mplayer or libssl? | 02:24 |
| Kamion | no altivec code in openssl | 02:24 |
| infinity | svu: mplayer, yes. A quick look at my PPC system seems to show that we don't do hwcap on PPC, so we can't pull the "multiple optimised builds" trick that we do on i386. | 02:25 |
| === jobezone [n=Eduardo@a81-84-103-142.cpe.netcabo.pt] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| svu | infinity, heh:( BTW, would xorg opensource drivers benefit of altivec anyhow (2D/3D accel)? | 02:26 |
| infinity | svu: libssl doesn't do run-time capabilities detection, so enabling altivec there would result in a big SIGILL on systems like mine. | 02:26 |
| svu | infinity, I see, so you would need plenty of libssl builds | 02:27 |
| infinity | svu: And glibc support for hwcap selection on powerpc (which appears to not exist, afaict) | 02:27 |
| svu | (actually at some point RH provided different rpms for openssl for 386/586/686 IIRC) | 02:27 |
| Kamion | no reason we can't do hwcap on powerpc | 02:27 |
| infinity | (See /usr/lib/i686/ on an i386 system, for instance) | 02:27 |
| infinity | Kamion: Nope, should be trivial, we just don't appear to do so. | 02:28 |
| Kamion | 'strace id' shows us looking at stuff like /usr/lib/tls/ppc7450 | 02:28 |
| infinity | Kamion: Heck, I'm committing hwcap to m68k reasonably soon. | 02:28 |
| Kamion | which looks like hwcappery to me | 02:28 |
| Kamion | and there are hwcap defines for powerpc in glibc | 02:28 |
| infinity | Kamion: Oh. So PPC does have hwcap, and we just don't use it? Even better. | 02:28 |
| Kamion | #define PPC_FEATURE_HAS_ALTIVEC 0x10000000 /* SIMD/Vector Unit. */ | 02:29 |

| dredg | svu: right, the primary project i'm working on at the moment involves customising ubuntu for our users. if i put ubuntu on the mac i'd end up using it for testing or something :) | 02:49 |
| desrt | Keybuk; and caused the kernel to reboot? | 02:49 |
| dredg | i _need_ an unbroken machine :) | 02:49 |
| dredg | it's a slippery slope ;) | 02:50 |
| Keybuk | desrt: sure, X runs as root and does nasty things to the hardware | 02:50 |
| svu | dredg, well, I am trying to balance between development of gnome and keeping relatively stable machine (which is also controlling my X10 stuff at home) | 02:50 |
| Keybuk | desrt: it's very easy to get X to crash the machine hard enough to reboot it | 02:50 |
| desrt | wrong. | 02:51 |
| desrt | it's a kernel bug | 02:51 |
| === desrt just logged in via ssh with X forwarding and ran it | ||

| Keybuk | ssh servers don't reboot | 02:52 |
| desrt | the machine running the ssh server :p | 02:52 |
| Keybuk | it's a local root exploit | 02:52 |
| Keybuk | not a remote one | 02:52 |
| Keybuk | you ssh'd in with authorisation | 02:52 |
| Keybuk | there's plenty of those | 02:52 |
| desrt | heh. | 02:52 |
| desrt | i didn't say it was 'remote root' | 02:53 |
| desrt | it's probably not even local root | 02:53 |
| desrt | just DoS | 02:53 |
| dredg | svu: ow. good luck with that :) | 02:53 |
| svu | dredg, thanks:) | 02:54 |

| desrt | BenC; when do you think about this bug? | 03:02 |

| BenC | are you not supposed to be able to do that? :) | 03:05 |
| desrt | i can do it from a normal user account just by running wine on an old windows game | 03:06 |
| BenC | ah, wine | 03:06 |
| BenC | wine is running as root? | 03:06 |

| desrt | https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/48769 | 03:07 |
| desrt | finding out more... | 03:08 |
| BenC | does it happen on console as well as over ssh? | 03:08 |
| desrt | it happens when i use X directly and with X forwarding over X | 03:09 |
| desrt | *over ssh | 03:09 |
| desrt | afaik wine won't run without having an X server somewhere | 03:09 |
| BenC | right | 03:09 |
| BenC | can you email me a copy of that game? | 03:09 |
| desrt | sure | 03:09 |
| BenC | or do you have a copy? | 03:09 |
| desrt | it happens with my totally unprivilged jail user too | 03:10 |
| desrt | so it's not likely to be something like accessing the soundcard in an odd way | 03:10 |
| BenC | I have wine running under amd64, so it may do something different | 03:10 |
| desrt | i already tried running it on my friends dapper (amd32) box and it doesn't crash | 03:10 |
| BenC | it does run in 32-bit mode, but the kernel's a bit different about it since it's emulation | 03:10 |

| mdke | pitti: I can understand that, sure. It's a bummer for communities like -it with really large Ubuntu followings though. I don't really know what we can do to alleviate the problem either... there are some unofficial italian ISOs but obviously they aren't available from shipit. | 12:01 |
| pitti | mdke: that's precisely why we avoided introducing hard-to-measure numbers, to avoid discussions like '... but we are more important' | 12:03 |
| pitti | mdke: so we need an objective standard | 12:04 |
| pitti | mdke: maybe we should change it in future releases, from #people to the percentage of translated strings | 12:04 |
| fabbione | Kamion: unping :) | 12:04 |
| pitti | mdke: that would mean to fit fewer langpacks on the CD, but might eventually be better, since bigger coverage usually means bigger community participation | 12:06 |

| tseng | mdz: I am thinking on the topic of making beagle sensible on the edgy livecd | 03:41 |
| tseng | mdz: we can build a static index of /home (example content and such) and then autostart beagled with all the indexers disabled | 03:41 |
| tseng | mdz: as to not thrash the live system | 03:42 |
| Mithrandir | tseng: we can't tell it to just look in /home? | 03:42 |
| tseng | mdz: but how to handle having it behave differently on livecd than in install? | 03:42 |

| Mithrandir | uh, to kbd? Isn't kbd even more crufty than c-t? | 03:59 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: it alternates; one year one is more crufty, one year it's the other | 03:59 |
| Kamion | this year apparently kbd is being maintained | 03:59 |
| Kamion | (by Denis Barbier) | 03:59 |
| Mithrandir | if we get lcxkb in, we'll have another implementation which can collect cruft, then. | 04:00 |
| Mithrandir | (hopefully, it'll kill off both kbd and c-t) | 04:00 |
| Kamion | doesn't lcxkb sit on top of one of them? | 04:00 |
| Kamion | maybe not ... | 04:00 |
| Kamion | I was just starting to write SaneInstallerKeyboard, hence why I noticed this | 04:00 |
| Mithrandir | so far it sits on top of my head as a pile of ideas, mostly. | 04:01 |
| Kamion | I'll link to zinoviev's console-setup | 04:01 |
| Kamion | I realise it needs a perl->c rewrite but that might be easier than a nothing->c rewrite | 04:01 |
| Kamion | given he's probably ironed out at least a few of the bugs | 04:02 |
| Mithrandir | I'm thinking we want to write a library for parsing xkb file written since there's none so far. | 04:02 |
| Mithrandir | and then we can write something on top of that. | 04:03 |
| Mithrandir | that should make xkb upstream happy too. | 04:03 |
| Kamion | I just don't want to throw away entirely what Anton's been doing, since apparently he does have something that actually works | 04:04 |
| === freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.190.64.118] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Mithrandir | sure, looking at it while rewriting it in C would work. | 04:05 |
| Kamion | hmm, you know, I wonder if it's actually a problem that it's in perl; kbd-chooser wants a static list of keymaps rather than "everything expressible in xkb" anyway | 04:06 |
| Kamion | so why not just precompile the list of stuff we care about at kbd-chooser build time? | 04:06 |
| Kamion | the less we have to stuff in the d-i initrd, the better, anyway | 04:07 |
| Mithrandir | true, but sizeof compressed /etc/X11/xkb < sizeof compressed /usr/share/keymaps | 04:08 |
| Mithrandir | and not having an intermediate format is a win | 04:08 |

| mdz | pitti: it's long and the summary doesn't help; what's the issue? | 04:33 |

| kagou | mdz, i can say as pitti that resolving this bug is really wanted/needed. Printing from gnome applications (using libgnomeprint, evolution/gedit/evince..., not OpenOffice, not firefox) do not works, or works really bad. it would be great to fix this bug | 04:37 |
| bddebian | Is this still the cups bug? | 04:37 |
| kagou | bddebian, yep | 04:37 |
| mdz | kagou: I printed from evince recently in dapper and it worked very well | 04:38 |
| mdke | I've printed several times today from evince | 04:38 |
| pitti | then you never tried to alter any printer option | 04:39 |
| mdz | that is possible | 04:39 |
| pitti | I seldomly do, either, that's why I never noticed that | 04:39 |
| kagou | mdz, try to change your settings to grayscale/draft. and reprint with evince | 04:39 |
| pitti | well, I hardly ever print in the first place.. | 04:39 |
| kagou | mdz, some user force the use of their black carttridge, but evince do not matter and use 3 colors to render black (for example) | 04:40 |
| mdz | kagou: why does changing the options trigger this problem? | 04:42 |
| mdz | does it matter which setting(s) is/are changed? | 04:42 |
| pitti | mdz: the problem is that changing the options doesn't work in the first place | 04:42 |
| kagou | indeed | 04:42 |
| pitti | mdz: 2 on 1, 4 on 1, grayscale, paper format, etc - it's all just ignored | 04:42 |
| mdz | pitti: ignored is one thing; breaks printing is another | 04:43 |
| pitti | mdz: I just ask because there's a neverending flood of bugs | 04:43 |

| mdke | ah, that's right, 2 on 1 doesn't work. But it does successfully print | 04:44 |
| mdke | so it's "ignored" rather than "breaks" | 04:44 |
| pitti | yeah, it's just that 27 duplicates indicate that this really seems to bite a lot | 04:45 |
| mdke | heh | 04:46 |
| mdz | pitti: is the problem that the options are ignored, or that printing stops working entirely if you change an option? | 04:46 |
| pitti | mdz: the former | 04:46 |
| mdz | ok | 04:46 |
| mdz | so kagou seems to be exaggerating the problem | 04:46 |
| mdz | kagou: are you the author of the patch? | 04:47 |
| kagou | mdz, no :) | 04:47 |
| pitti | mdz: not being able to change the paper size and orientation is probably the thing that hurts most | 04:48 |

| mdz | kagou: dapper | 05:04 |

| pitti | iwj: please note that it is possible to get split-out patches for 1.5.0.4 in mozilla's bugzilla and backport them one by one | 05:11 |
| kagou | mdz, do you use g-c-m or kdeprint or ... ? | 05:11 |
| pitti | iwj: upstream offered that vendors can even use the tags and other stuff for coordinating backporting | 05:11 |
| pitti | kagou, mdz: ~/.lpoptions is the old location, it was deprecated in favor of ~/.cups/lpoptions at some point; this is entirely unrelated to 34112, though | 05:12 |

| Kamion | well, no, I guess it's just over four months now | 05:12 |
| pitti | bah, Ctrl-W does *not* delete a word in xchat, sorry | 05:12 |
| iwj | Kamion: OMG, hoary too ? I haven't even _looked_ at hoary's firefox. I dread to think. | 05:13 |
| iwj | pitti: Yes, but that's not really the problem. Split out patches is all very well but the real difficulty is the bugs we don't hear about and the ones where the code is all changed around. | 05:14 |
| kagou | pitti, i know that :) but mdz say that he have ~/.lpoptions and no ~/.cups/lpoptions so it's a bug because using g-c-m DELETE ~/.lpoptions and create ~/.cups/lpoptions (tested here) | 05:14 |
| Kamion | Hoary is supported until <counts on fingers> 8 October 2006. | 05:14 |
| Kamion | also, top tip for console web browsing, 'ssh lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/' isn't useful. | 05:14 |
| iwj | pitti: Also, we _know_ that their processes are hopeless so why would we think that their split out patches correspond to anything when the `security and stability' release with published release notes doesn't ? | 05:14 |
| pitti | iwj: it'll just help to sort out the security relevant ones from all the other stuff | 05:14 |
| pitti | iwj: true that | 05:15 |
| iwj | pitti: Yes, but what about the security relevant ones they forgot to list in the changelog ? | 05:15 |
| iwj | I really think our best bet is to follow the herd here. At least that way most of the jungle will have been trampled by other people. | 05:15 |
| pitti | iwj: right, upstream said that vendors might need to fish them out and mark as 'blocking-1.0.9' themselves | 05:15 |
| Kamion | mozilla-firefox | 1.0.2-0ubuntu2 | hoary | sparc | 05:15 |
| Kamion | mozilla-firefox | 1.0.2-0ubuntu5 | hoary | source, amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc | 05:15 |
| iwj | Urgh. | 05:15 |
| Kamion | mozilla-firefox | 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1 | hoary-security | sparc | 05:15 |
| Kamion | for the record | 05:16 |
| Kamion | mozilla-firefox | 1.0.8-0ubuntu5.04 | hoary-security | source, amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc | 05:16 |
| kagou | must go to the crib. see you later | 05:16 |
| jsgotangco | man | 05:16 |
| Kamion | hoary-security seems close to breezy-security, since we dumped 1.0.8 in there | 05:16 |
| pitti | yes, indeed | 05:16 |
| pitti | even warty has 1.0.8 in -security | 05:16 |
| Kamion | but obviously all the locales stuff and extensions would need to be fudged if upgrading to 1.5 | 05:16 |
| pitti | right | 05:16 |
| Kamion | probably differently | 05:17 |
| pitti | and all the gtkmozembed stuff, like epiphany, yelp, etc. | 05:17 |
| iwj | pitti: Really ? The API is so different ? I thought it was quite narrow. | 05:17 |
| pitti | upgrading hoary and breezy to tbird 1.5 might be reasonably easy | 05:17 |
| iwj | I haven't tried it, it's true. | 05:17 |
| pitti | mozilla might hurt in hoary | 05:17 |
| pitti | but ffox is really painful | 05:17 |
| iwj | If it's a question of having to rebuild epiphany et al then it's trickier. | 05:18 |
| pitti | iwj: but my gut feeling is that it's still the least of all evils... | 05:18 |
| iwj | I really don't fancy trying to cherry pick patches out of a swamp. They're likely to be rotten. | 05:18 |
| pitti | iwj: it's not only cherrypicking, the 1.5 codebase changed significantly | 05:18 |
| iwj | Quite. | 05:18 |
| pitti | which also implies that few people will continue to audit 1.0.x | 05:19 |
| pitti | i. e. most of the 1.0 vulnerabilities will never even be known in the future | 05:19 |
| pitti | iwj: just to get an idea, let's try to build the dapper firefox on breezy and see how much breaks | 05:19 |
| iwj | pitti: That's a good idea. | 05:20 |
| iwj | I've got a breezy here somewhere, let me dig it out. | 05:20 |
| pitti | iwj: I have chroots, I can try it here, too | 05:20 |

| janderso | [sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this] why are ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-standard, and ubuntu-minimal separate, rather than higherarchically dependent? | 06:46 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, why the right driver of the printer doesn't work? | 06:47 |

| Keybuk | mdz: btw, can we really _not_ revisit network-manager for edgy | 07:11 |
| Keybuk | it's on your EdgyIdeas page; and I just cannot see it being sufficiently more mature in four months time than it is now | 07:12 |
| mdz | Keybuk: do we have another answer for WPA or switching wireless networks? that's all I really care about | 07:13 |
| Keybuk | mdz: wpa can be set through /e/n/i -- and there's the usual gnome applet for switching wireless networks | 07:13 |
| bluefoxicy | mdz: someone really needs to get WPA into network-admin, but I don't think anyone's around that wants to code it | 07:14 |
| bluefoxicy | Keybuk: I'm pretty sure you can point-and-click through wireless networks through network-admin configuration applet ... were you speaking of a panel applet that does this as well? | 07:14 |
| mdz | Keybuk: since when does the gnome applet switch wireless networks? I thought it just launched the awful network config tool | 07:15 |
| === bluefoxicy really, really doesn't like needing 2 or 3 configuration applets to do the single job of configuring networking... he just feels like something's really wrong when he has to tell users they need to bounce from place to place to do the simplest task possible. | ||

| tritium | Against what should a bug be filed for vga settings via F4 selection not being preserved after live session on desktop install CD? | 10:09 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: there's nothing else i need | 10:09 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: error_log clearly says gs-esp dies | 10:09 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: now i just need time to figure out why :) | 10:10 |
| Kamion | tritium: you mean after installation? | 10:12 |
| mjg59 | tritium: Either gfxboot or ubiquity | 10:12 |
| mjg59 | I'd guess, but kamion will know better | 10:12 |
| Kamion | not gfxboot. ubiquity sounds good | 10:12 |
| tritium | Kamion: yes (my /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't contain any vga= settings) | 10:12 |
| Kamion | but you lot made me deliberately exclude vga= | 10:13 |
| tritium | I had selected 1400x1050, 32 bit, during installagin | 10:13 |
| Kamion | because it breaks suspend/resume | 10:13 |
| mjg59 | Ah, yes | 10:13 |
| Kamion | actually perhaps the right answer is to drop the option to use vga= from the live CD | 10:13 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, check out: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gs-esp/+bug/38060 | 10:13 |
| Kamion | which would be a gfxboot-theme-ubuntu bug | 10:13 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 38060 in gs-esp "es-gsp crashes on various input causing a faliure to print" [Medium,Fix released] | 10:13 |
| tritium | It breaks suspend/resume? | 10:13 |
| Kamion | yes | 10:13 |
| Kamion | vga= -> vesafb -> no working resume | 10:13 |
| Keybuk | same reason we don't use high-res in usplash | 10:14 |
| mdz | is it not possible to unload vesafb later on? | 10:14 |
| Kamion | I was under the impression that vesafb managing to be modular at all was a bit of a miracle, let alone unloading | 10:14 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: :* :* :* :) | 10:14 |
| tritium | Oh, interesting. I'll have to see if that fixes one of my bugs... | 10:14 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, this bug was filed before dapper | 10:14 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: no, during dapper | 10:15 |
| mjg59 | mdz: Nope | 10:15 |
| mdz | eXistenZ: as were thousands of others | 10:15 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: install gs-gpl | 10:15 |
| mjg59 | mdz: Right now, there's no real way of unbinding framebuffer drivers from the console | 10:15 |
| mdz | mjg59: the sab is very keen on a prettier usplash, maybe we could try it on desktops | 10:15 |
| mjg59 | mdz: Still breaks suspend/resume, but arguably we care less | 10:16 |
| mdz | right | 10:16 |
| Kamion | desktops have better displays for prettiness either | 10:16 |
| mjg59 | Kamion: Too? | 10:16 |
| Keybuk | prettier usplash should be easy now, I've moved all of the hardcoded stuff into a struct the .so file exports | 10:16 |
| Kamion | will you let me put vga= preservation back in on desktops? :) | 10:16 |
| Kamion | mjg59: er, yes, too | 10:16 |
| mjg59 | I wonder how small we could get a kdrive-based splash solution | 10:17 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, just install it? | 10:17 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: did you? | 10:17 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, yep | 10:17 |

| ivoks | eXistenZ: and then try to print | 10:18 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: how would kdrive help? | 10:18 |
| Keybuk | avoiding fb? | 10:18 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Yeah | 10:18 |
| mjg59 | Just use vesa | 10:19 |
| Keybuk | what's kdrive's card support like though, I thought it was pretty bad? | 10:19 |
| Keybuk | though I guess if it's vesa, it's enough | 10:19 |
| Kamion | bogl is not exactly that big though, is it? | 10:19 |
| mjg59 | Kamion: bogl is pretty tiny, but ties us to a framebuffer driver | 10:20 |
| Keybuk | bogl isn't big, but it needs framebuffer | 10:20 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, doesn't work =/ Do you want to see the error_log now? | 10:20 |
| ivoks | eXistenZ: yes | 10:20 |
| tritium | Kamion: I'll not file a bug, since it was intentional, then | 10:20 |
| Keybuk | is there no small vesa !fb library? | 10:20 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: libsvga? | 10:21 |
| mjg59 | Not sure if it actually does vesa, though | 10:21 |
| bddebian | Heya tritium | 10:21 |
| tritium | hi bddebian. What's happening? | 10:21 |
| mjg59 | In principle we can do it, though | 10:21 |
| Kamion | tritium: could you file a bug on gfxboot-theme-ubuntu about it? like I say I should probably take out that option on the live CD, since it isn't all that useful there and it causes confusion | 10:21 |
| bddebian | tritium: Not much thanks, you? | 10:21 |
| tritium | Kamion: okay, sure. | 10:22 |
| Kamion | though I don't think we have any possibility of being able to detect laptop vs. desktop in gfxboot | 10:22 |
| Kamion | so it may have to remain at least somewhat confusin | 10:22 |
| Kamion | g | 10:22 |
| Kamion | I'll leave the bug open for a while and reassign to wherever we eventually decide to fix it | 10:22 |
| tritium | ok | 10:22 |
| sladen | Kamion: just fetch the DMI and grep it (which is basically all that 'laptop-detect' does (oh, and laptop-detect looks for a battery too) | 10:22 |
| jdub | Kamion: so, do you know much about the ld.so.conf "removal"? was this something we inherited from debian or upstream? | 10:23 |
| sladen | Keybuk: I think some previous occasion you were asking about detecting amd64 vs. i386 on boot. It's a bit (called "lm" == long mode) in the cpuid flags | 10:23 |
| sladen | Keybuk: so then you can do your dual mode DVD's | 10:23 |
| Keybuk | sladen: the discussion was whether we could make an all-arch dvd | 10:23 |

| sladen | Keybuk: my reckoning was, yes. | 10:24 |
| sladen | Keybuk: look up "TriplePlay" on the wiki | 10:24 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, here is the link: http://existenz.googlepages.com/error_log | 10:25 |
| sladen | Keybuk: if you ditch HFS booting on PPC and only go for HFS+ booting (which starts at +1kB) you might even get sparc+ppc to co-exist | 10:26 |
| sladen | Keybuk: somehow Apple have managed i386 and ppc boot on their OSX disks, so you may even get Mactel i386 on there aswell | 10:27 |

| Kamion | sladen: patches welcome. "just" in gfxboot is never that easy | 10:28 |
| Kamion | jdub: absolutely no clue | 10:28 |
| sladen | Kamion: ? re: detecting laptop/desktop in the boot loader? | 10:28 |
| Kamion | sladen: yes. | 10:28 |
| Kamion | sladen: it's all hand-coded assembly, and my x86 assembly is passable enough to fix minor bugs but I'm no superstar at it | 10:29 |
| Kamion | sladen: and it would need to export an operator to the forth-like language too | 10:29 |
| jdub | Kamion: i've heard a bit of (mostly pointless) whinging about it; does sarge have ld.so.conf OOTB? | 10:29 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, does gpl crash also? | 10:29 |
| === Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||

| === LeeJunFan [n=junfan@adsl-69-210-207-5.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | interesting that selecting vga= in the boot loader is apparently sometimes a workaround for xresprobe leaving you with a blank screen in the middle of the install | 10:32 |
| Kamion | (d-i) | 10:32 |
| mjg59 | So a stripped Xvesa build is 800K | 10:32 |
| mjg59 | But depends on freetype and some other X libs | 10:33 |
| mjg59 | Could probably be made smaller by building against uclibc | 10:33 |
| Keybuk | X is a bit heavy weight? | 10:33 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: I'd imagine that we could probably do an X-based solution in under 2MB | 10:34 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: it still seems rather over-kill | 10:34 |
| Keybuk | 47K -> 2,048K is silly for a bit of shine | 10:35 |
| === sladen suspects that just-fixing-the-vesafb-driver-would-be-simpler | ||
| Keybuk | especially for the initramfs, we're near the line already on the size of that | 10:35 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: A quick play suggests that performance wouldn't be an issue - it comes up in well under a second | 10:35 |
| sladen | kdrive on vesa? | 10:36 |
| mjg59 | As for size, well. I think that's going to end up depending on just how much Mark wants bling | 10:36 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: it's not performace I'm worried about -- it's the fact we can't afford to load a 10MB initramfs! | 10:36 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Because? | 10:36 |
| Keybuk | powerpc, amongst others, has size limits | 10:36 |
| mjg59 | Hm. Why? | 10:36 |
| Keybuk | not to mention how long it takes to get off disk | 10:36 |
| Keybuk | bootloader something-or-other | 10:37 |
| mjg59 | powerpc is actually less of a problem, since we can have sensible fb access anyway | 10:37 |
| Kamion | yaboot; 6MB limit on netbooting | 10:37 |
| Kamion | it's quite ingrained | 10:37 |
| mjg59 | Only on netbooting? | 10:37 |
| Kamion | I *believe* so but wouldn't be prepared to swear to it | 10:37 |
| Kamion | doesn't bigger initramfs => more memory use too? | 10:38 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: libsvga seems to do vesa | 10:38 |
| mjg59 | Kamion: Only at boot time | 10:38 |
| Keybuk | that would be a better idea, no? | 10:38 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Ok, that might be saner | 10:38 |
| eXistenZ | ivoks, are you there? | 10:38 |
| Keybuk | libvga is only 340K ... and would be a lot less with just the important bits used | 10:38 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Though, presumably, requires writing of actual real vesa code? | 10:39 |
| Keybuk | could use the vgagl thing ... acts like a framebuffer, but entirely in userspace | 10:39 |
| Keybuk | that seems rather more sane in general than X :) | 10:41 |
| === Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bddebian | heh | 10:43 |
| Keybuk | if we can get X started that early, I'm sticking gdm in it, not a splash screen <g> | 10:45 |
| Keybuk | or, at least some kind of login screen so when we have a real X we can start their session | 10:45 |
| bddebian | a real X ? | 10:46 |
| Keybuk | one not using vesa :p | 10:46 |
| bddebian | Ah :-) | 10:46 |
| Trewas | I asked earlier on #ubuntu but unsurprisingly no-one answered... ubiquity is mentioned to automagically install grub, but in a system with both SATA and PATA disks where it will go, /dev/sda or /dev/hda? | 10:49 |
| Keybuk | which did you install to? | 10:49 |
| Trewas | I'm only planning to install, but it would go to /dev/hda but the system boots from /dev/sda, where xp is | 10:50 |
| Keybuk | if you install to hda, it will go to hda I believe | 10:50 |
| Trewas | ok, I guess I can convince windows' boot-manager to start grub from another disk if needed | 10:52 |
| Keybuk | I'd do it the other way, start windows boot manager from grub | 10:52 |

| shadeofgrey | anyway thanks very much everybody for making ubuntu what it is.. i know its easy for we peons to forget just how much effort blood sweat and tears go into each milestone release... i was on the dapper bandwagon since flight2, and i must say.,. thi s is by far the best release yet... | 11:02 |
