zulmdz; should the quieten grub be turned on by default when the user runs update-grub?12:37
mdzzul: yes; it should be the default for the standard boot (though not for recovery)12:39

floamI seem to be terrible at manipulating this wiki -- is edgy targeting 2.6.18?03:09
zulno03:09
floamso it's still going to be using 2.16.17 upon release? 03:10
floamerrr03:10
neuralisyes.03:10
floam2.6.1703:10
floamyikes. I wonder why that changed, I thought originally they planned on aiming at .1803:10
floamguess I'll get to maintain my own kernel for another iteration03:12
Hobbseefloam: no, they were never aiming for .1803:12
floamHobbsee: are you sure? I know I heard something about .18 six months ago or so.03:12
floammaybe it was someone who had no idea what's going on.03:13
Hobbseefloam: likely off the forums, yeah.  they still swear that .18 will get in.03:13
floamno, I don't read forums :P03:13
floamI think it was in bugzilla/launchpad somewhere03:13
Hobbseeor off someone who had read the forums03:13
Hobbseethat too - a wishlist.03:13
floamthat could be, web forums are really good at spreading false information03:14
zulvery03:14
floamnormally I couldn't care less about the kernel, but my poor little serial ata dvd burner needs special love that supposedly come with it.03:15
neuralisi never quite got that; the forums exert zero actual direct influence, but seem to be sufficiently large and self-contained that they go on, pretending this just isn't so.03:15

=== asac_ [n=asac@debian/developer/asac] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sharmscan someone explain why 2.6.18 would not be included if the kernel freeze isn't til october? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule03:16
floamneuralis: thank your deity it can't exert force03:16
neuralisfloam: clearly.03:16
floamat least it functions as a good playpen03:16
Hobbseeneuralis: yeah, that's true.  it is kinda useful if you're looking to see how edgy is running at the moment.03:16
Hobbseesharms: because UVF is on the 13th.03:16
Hobbseeafter the 13th, you get 2.6.17-x-* changes only03:17
floam13th of which month?03:17
sharmsJuly03:17
Hobbseefloam: this one03:17
floamwow, that feels early03:17
floamis this release iteration shorter than dapper was?03:17
floam(when is it supposed to come out?)03:18
Hobbseefloam: yes, it's half the time.03:18
=== jono [n=jono@88-107-12-0.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jonojdub, ping03:18
neuralisHobbsee: i find the forums perfectly useful, in that they've kept 133733 people from posting 1226284 messages to -devel.03:18
floamokay, then it makes perfect sense that they wouldn't use 2.6.1803:18
Hobbseeneuralis: hehe, that's true also03:18
floamI thought there was twice as much time as there is03:18
=== Hobbsee just wishes they would file bugs. and not crack howtos.
floamworse than the howtos are their little patented fixer scripts03:19
neuralishaha. the horror, the horror..03:19
Hobbseetrue, when then cause more bugs.03:19
sharmsI just install everything with --force03:19
floamyes, plus they don't use apt at all, from what I've seen03:19
Hobbseeactually, to be fair, i havent had trouble with the system bootup one - about stopping unneeded services03:19
floamthey have scripts that just wget crap, build it, overwrite installed stuff03:20
Hobbsee(why is my laptop staring bluez-utils - i've got nothing even related to bluetooth on here - no bluetooth port, either!)03:20
floamthey distribute a script to remove sysv services there?03:21
Hobbseefloam: not a script, it's manual.03:21
floamcouldn't they just tell you to how to alter the symlinks or install sysvconfig or something03:21
neuralisfloam: or, er, use update-rc.d, if you need to remove things?03:22
Hobbsee"this process is this and does this, and is on default runlevels x, y, z, it is fine/is not fine to turn it off"03:22
Hobbseethat type of idea03:22
floamthere's that too, I'm too lazy to figure out what the tool of the year is03:22
sharmsseems like a standard control panel for services under system->administration would be a good usability idea03:22
Hobbseesharms: write one :P03:23
sharmsI might, but if I do it's probably pygtk03:23
Hobbseeso?03:23
floamso it probably wouldn't get into main03:23
floam(which sucks, I can't believe in 2006 people are still suffering with C/GObject)03:24
sharmsagreed03:24
floamthough GObject doesn't map very well into python's bindings either03:25
slomowhy wouldn't it get into main because of pygtk?03:25
slomognome-app-install, language-selector, $whatever are pygtk too ;)03:25
sharmsI was thinking just the extra dependencies on a default install would be bad03:25
sharmsbut maybe I was dropped on the head as a small child03:25
floamare they? I thought people generally frowned upon it.03:25
floambut maybe not. I was dropped on my head a decent number of times03:26
slomojust take a look at the packages ;)03:27
floamyes, you're correct03:27
Hobbseehi slomo 03:27
=== asac_ is now known as asac
slomohi Hobbsee :)03:27
=== Hobbsee is off to work.
Hobbseebye all!03:28
floamsharms: apparently they aren't extra dependencies, it already comes with pygtk et al03:28
sharmsgotcha03:28
floamwhen I take over the world I'm going to force gnome to stop using C, decide on C++ or Objective C, and then force some of my other slaves to write some decent bindings03:28
floama dictatorship is only bad when the dictator sucks03:29
floamoh hell, maybe I'll force them to all work on GNUStep03:29
sharmsdoes anything stop me from just chopping up fedora/redhat's services manager?  It appears to be GPL03:31
=== licio [n=licio@ubuntu/member/licio] has joined #ubuntu-devel
neuralissharms: you know about services-admin, correct?03:31
floamwhat's wrong with the one that's in dapper?03:31
floamright, services-admin03:32
floamit's clearly overly simplified, but you could fix that03:32
floamsince I can't really figure out what checking and unchecking does to the specific runlevels03:32
sharmsI am not seeing a way to deactively bluez through services-admin03:32
floamit probably has a table of services it "knows about"03:33
floamwith icons and descriptions and whatnot.03:33
sharmsjust seems ironic I can turn off klogd but not bluetooth :)03:33
floamit shouldn't be too difficult to add the bluetooth stuff03:33
floam(surely much easier than writing your own manager)03:33
sharmswhat package is that a part of?03:34
floamgnome system tools03:34
floamgnome-system-tools, that is03:34
sharmsgot it03:35

tsengtrulux: good, you?01:38
tsengI am fighting SSP atm01:38
tsengmaybe you saw, we turned it on everywhere after all01:39
truluxtseng, I'm preparing a showcase for some win32/crossplatform stuff01:39
truluxI didn't read about it01:39
truluxisn't that kind of brave as Ubuntu has tons of multimedia-related stuff?01:39
tsengif we build gcc (libgcc_s specifically) with ssp, it bombs building mono01:39
truluxbrb01:40
slomonot only building mono01:40
truluxyeah01:40
tsengtrulux: we'll see :)01:40
slomobut running something with mono01:40
slomoon ppc01:40
truluxexpect that for most applications that do strange stuff with runtime code generation01:40
tsengslomo: does mono link in libgcc somehow?01:40
slomotseng: sure01:40
tsengok.01:40
truluxfortunately in win2k sp4 I don't have such problems. all the 0days work01:40
tsenghah!01:40
slomotseng: oh... no it doesn't01:41
truluxit's awesome01:41
truluxtseng, no, seriously01:41
truluxtseng, if you ever knew a bit of what MS has done to XP and friends...01:41
slomotseng: hm i thought everything is using libgcc but for some reason mono doesn't even use it... so how can it segfault in libgcc then? =)01:42
tsengslomo: no idea!01:42
tsengnot p/invoked?01:43
slomothat would be insane01:43
tsengit would..01:43
tsengbut its mono01:43
tsengyou know01:44
tsengthe JIT has ppc specific areas01:44
tsengits per-arch01:44
tsengcould be in there (again)01:44
slomoright... looking for libgcc on i386 isn't very useful then ;)01:45
slomoone moment01:45
truluxanyone knows about this sparc stuff?01:45
truluxit's really a showstopper01:45
tsengtrulux: which stuff01:45
slomotseng: no, same on ppc... it doesn't like with libgcc directly01:46
tsengit looks like the GC uses it01:46
tsengfrom a grep01:46
slomoright, i found something new btw ;)01:47
tsengyes?01:47
slomoi didn't tell you yet but the segfault happens on finalizing an object01:47
slomo=> GC is a good direction :)01:47
tsengbingo?01:47
tsengwe could..01:47
truluxtseng, the latest netboot image for sparc64, dapper01:47
tsengtry another GC backend01:47
tsengor disable GC completely01:47
truluxjesus, I must get bac to work out tomorrow01:47
tsengtrulux: ah. no idea.01:48
truluxtseng, I may be an army guy soon ;P01:48
slomotseng: we could try linking with the system libgc instead of the internal one01:48
tsengtrulux: btw, I was near Barcelona last week01:48

tsengits awfully hot01:51

slomotseng: would be nice if the new GC will be default for 1.2... this way we don't need to ship the libgc copy anymore01:51
tsengtrue01:51
tsengbut an all new GC is kind of scary01:51

truluxI'm kidding on solaris02:01

truluxit's enough waste of space to keep one VM here with x86 solaris02:01
tsengtrulux: you've applied?02:01

truluxtseng, have you done so? I was going to let you know about it for applying)02:02

truluxtseng, It's a bitchy ground because it sucks a lot of time for ensuring at leas a 2k check per month02:04
truluxand you literally feel lost sometimes, as there's no established path of work02:04

damo22is ubuntu owned by canonical? canonical hires ppl to work on ubuntu?? 02:08
tsengdamo22: the second one02:08
truluxsivang, selling information on undiscosed security flaws, generally in widely used products in the enterprise business02:08
tsengcanonical also owns all of the hosting/building hardware if you are a conspiracy theorist02:08
truluxheh, indirectly Canonical owns Ubuntu02:09
truluxwithout Canonical , it would be something else, and I bet the people being paid to work on it would do whatever Canonical does02:09
truluxa contract is a contract, everywhere02:09
damo22so ubuntu isnt just the result of people giving up their free time to do what they love?02:10
tsengit is for me, and a bunch of others here02:10
tsengmost of "core-dev" is employeed by canonical, however02:11
damo22:)02:11
damo22okay02:11
tsenganyone can join in02:11
damo22i think its a beautiful way to share knowledge, but im sure there are big commercial opportunities and niches for people to take advantage of02:12
truluxhmm02:14
truluxetch can be considered "stable"?02:15
truluxtseng, I'm going to try out etch netboot images02:15
truluxto see if I can reproduce the damn issue02:15
=== mdke_ [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-devel
damo22canonical must see that... i guess they have vested interest in making ubuntu the best linux distro 02:15
damo22but then, how different from microsoft would that be? :P02:17
tsengits very different02:17
tsengyou cant download the source from microsoft, start submitting patches, and become a key member02:17
tsengand help guide the entire project02:17
damo22true02:17
tsengthats huge.02:17
damo22definitely02:18
dsasdamo22: Also members of the Technical and Community councils which guide Ubuntu aren't all canonical employees02:18
damo22i see, thats good 02:19
truluxtseng, there's some nice people at MS02:21
truluxmaybe the just take more time to understand the points, but they finally are getting to something else good02:22
tsengI am sure they are "nice".02:23
damo22i would say that as a thorough user of ubuntu, i can see that it could bring to life old hardware to be used in schools... but it still has a few bumps to iron out to make it really stable for that purpose02:23
tsengmy comment had nothing to do with it02:23
truluxdamo22, is getting too focused on the shiny details, at least that's my opinion02:24
truluxless QA maybe02:24
tsenglinux has bugs.02:24
truluxat Red Hat they do tons of QA work02:25
damo22QA?02:25
truluxand they get to meet and work with the right people02:25
truluxquality assurance02:25
damo22u think ubuntu is focussing too much on the "eye-candy" for desktop?02:26
truluxyes, so to speak02:26
damo22i agree02:26
tsengwe dont really spend much time at all on "eye-candy"02:26
trulux...02:27
truluxyes you do :)02:27
truluxand doing a big marketing02:27
truluxthat's Canonical's job actually02:27

=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-devel
truluxI expected you to smile at least on that one ;P02:27
damo22its difficult to talk about things in a very general sense without pointing out specific problems, but i think people generally like to see a desktop that is familiar, with all the simple tasks easily accessible... of course the underlying OS is even more important, but general users dont see that 02:29
=== mdke [n=matt@81-179-71-165.dsl.pipex.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
damo22i think the great freedom of choice available to users for different applications makes it difficult to unify this idea and achieve the goal. 02:33

truluxtseng, what do you mean, the functon "prologue" from SSP?02:51
damo22id really like to know how to obtain the ubuntu kernel patches as a patch for the vanilla kernel...02:52
tsengtrulux: yes.02:52
truluxtseng, I think it was a simple cmp to the address of the guard02:52
truluxdunno right now02:52
truluxwhat do you need to do?02:52
tsengmono is doing some interesting stack functions in the GC on ppc02:53
tsengand is failing when SSP is used02:53
truluxI have messed with /GS from Microsoft, which is similar but I forgot about some stuff02:53
truluxwell02:53
tsengmy guess right now is it doesnt know about the ssp offset02:53
truluxcoud you check tha guard isnt being overwritten?02:53
truluxie02:53
tsengcheck how02:53
truluxget __guard at different locations02:53
tsengit is segfaulting, which could also mean SSP is killing it02:53
truluxprintf it's hex value02:53
truluxwell02:54
truluxSSP uses abort signal by default02:54

pygiit should be, but it exists only on one server on internet, and it's protected10:33
pygibddebian, eh :)10:33
pygisivang, I found another bindings for it written with pyrex10:33
bddebianIsn't there some way to get in touch with the authors?10:34
sivangpygi: ^^^ what about what bddebian said ?10:35
pygicracking the server sivang ? ^_^10:35
sivangpygi: well, worst case we can still use my wrapper around cdrecord10:35
sivangpygi: what about getting in touch with the authors? :p10:36
sharms I was testing a hostname bug, and was able to confirm it, and now I cant change my hostname back.  You guys know another way to use sudo? all I get is: sudo: unable to lookup bobvila via gethostbyname()10:36
pygisivang, sec, trying to locate authors10:36
sivangpygi: do you have a link to it's home page/10:37
sivang?10:37
pygisivang, homepage doesnt exist10:37
sivangpygi: so how did you find about the bindings ?10:37
pygisivang, ok, so I located author's email address10:37
sivangpygi: do you know what his bindings offer? maybe it's not suitable for us?10:38
sivangwhat are they wrapping? libnautilus-burn ?10:39
pygilibburn10:39

sivangpygi: have youo mailed the author ?10:51
pygisivang, yes, the one with "real" bindings10:51
sivangpygi: cool :)10:51
bddebianslomo_: Shouldn't it be attal-0.10.1?  Or does it not matter?10:51
sivangpygi: I wonder how proven those bindings are , or libburn itself10:52
sivangpygi: do you have an idea ?10:52
slomo_bddebian: it should... but it doesn't hurt in most cases if it isn't called that way10:52

sivangpygi: who uses libburn ?10:53
sivang(apps, that is)10:53
pygisivang, I am not really aware of such application as libburn is not really able to replace cdrecord right now10:57
pygibut it serves well for basic tasks10:57
sivangpygi: If it can't do multi sessions burns correctly we can't use it10:58
pygisivang, it can10:58
sivangpygi: so it can do regular and multi session burn nicely? that's good then10:59

pygiright, that's true :-/11:00

pygibut then again, for edgy+1 dar will be on second place, but I guess we'll have more time for edgy+111:03
sivangpygi: well, if we get out of the way the burning bindings, the new UI and the bits we need from nautilus to detect free space on multi session cds, I think we could concentrate on that for edgy + 111:04
pygiright, right11:05
pygiand we could use libburn even in pre-boot status I guess11:05

sivangand it also has pythong bindings for that as well probably?11:07

pygiI think we don't have it in repos just yet tho?11:22
mdzzul: around?11:23
slomo_regarding libnotify there is some work to do anyway... we need new notification-daemon, new libnotify, new libnotify bindings. i wanted to talk with mvo about it tomorrow as he cared for it in dapper11:23
zulmdz: yep11:24
mdzzul: was just trying out your new grub, but there's a problem11:24
zuloh?11:24
mdzzul: if update-grub is run without grub-install, it breaks the boot11:24
pygislomo_, hm, right11:24
mdzand update-grub is run automatically in a number of places (e.g., kernel upgrades)11:24
zulhmmm...ok ill have a look at it tonight11:25
pygislomo_, thanks ^_^11:25
stratusslomo_: i've uploaded python bindings for debian, i told sivang. probably will do the latest lib soon, but nothing urgent is there from .40 to .42.11:25
mdzzul: then I ran grub-install to test that, and my system doesn't boot at all11:26
mdzI can get to the grub menu, but can't load a kernel11:26

stratusslomo_: hi. i'm always here, i just don't talk too much.11:27
mdzif I just let grub continue, my system reboots in a loop11:27
sivangslomo_: this is the first time there are libnotify python binding IIRC, Gustavo told me it's sitting in NEW in sid,11:27
mdzzul: are you sure the compiler change took effect?  it seems unrelated to your patch, possibly a compiler regression11:27
stratussivang: no, no. it isn't sitting in NEW anymore, it was processed in just one day. :)11:27
zulits a compiler regression11:28
pygistratus, o, that's a news indeed :)11:28
slomo_sivang: and yes, before you had to use the dbus interface of notification-daemon :)11:28
sivangstratus: ah! then we should attemempt to import it and then apply the changes you told me to make it work11:28

sivangslomo_: yes, one can hardly call those bindings =)11:28
=== pygi nods
stratussivang: sure, i've some other stuff to do now like vte python transition, but i can branch out and prepare some of that changes if you're busy with other stuff11:28
zulmdz: so you did grub-install and then update grub and rebooted?11:29
sivangstratus: now, I can do them, the question is if it's alredy in ubuntu or still waiting at our NEW for the overrides or so11:29
mdzzul: I think we were building grub with gcc-4.0 before11:29
mdzzul: did you try -4.0 before going all the way back to -3.4?11:29
mdzzul: I did update-grub, rebooted, worked around the fact that it couldn't parse menu.lst anymore, ran grub-install, rebooted and that's where I am now11:30
stratussivang: which NEW? ubuntu's? i doubt it will be merged due to the new python infrastructure in Debian.11:30
slomo_sivang: you could file a sync bug for it... but we need to merge libnotify 0.4 first iirc11:30
zulmdz: no i didnt try gcc-4.011:30
mdzzul: I'll give that a try11:31
sivangslomo_: I think I'll do that so I'll be notified when it's in and I can then merge it11:32
mdzhmm, doesn't build with 4.011:33
slomo_sivang: in think we can just sync the python bindings... not sure about libnotify though, that's what i wanted to talk with mvo about :)11:33
mgalvinmdz: just so you know, i have been busy all week, i should have some time tonight to get the UWN out before the day is out11:34
sivangslomo_:  I see. Well, I stratus noted to me that we would probably need to drop some stuff form his current packaging in order to make it work, but maybe if all of the python transition is done then we could sync it proper.11:34
mdzzul: eek, with the gcc-4.0-compiled one I get an empty menu11:38
