Chipzzlabuser: I guess file a bug in launchpad ?02:59
Chipzzyou can mark your attachment as being a patch I think03:00
labuserit's been on launchpad for 2 months but the package is still broken03:00
labusersomeone else filed it here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mldonkey/+bug/4263203:01
UbugtuMalone bug 42632 in mldonkey "startup script is broken" [Medium,Confirmed]  03:01
labuserit's not a minor thing either... attempting installation of the package breaks apt alltogether03:02
labuserhttp://rafb.net/paste/results/sonrqK93.html03:03
labuserI pasted the fix there... maybe someone can commit it03:03
FujitsuWhich package? mldonkey-gui03:03
labusermldonkey-server03:04
FujitsuAh.03:04
FujitsuOK.03:04
FujitsuWorks fine for me...03:04
FujitsuHow does it break it?03:04
FujitsuIt doesn't actually install the mldonkey binary... But it doesn't break.03:06
labuserInstallation of any other package fails. I forgot the exact message03:06
labuserI did an apt-get source and applied the fix, then did dpkg -i with that, and everything was ok03:07
JanCsounds like a failed install script?03:07
labuseryes that's right03:07
FujitsuWorks fine for me, still.03:07
labuserFujitsu, the installation ?03:07
Fujitsulabuser, yes... I installed both mldonkey-server and mldonkey-gui, and it still works.03:08
labuserdapper right03:08
FujitsuHmm.03:09
FujitsuYeah.03:09
FujitsuBOOM03:09
labuserI don't know then03:09

bluefoxicywow that's nice, I just typed <tseng> tab and xchat-gnome printed:   tseng tseng tseng05:48
bluefoxicyanyway.  tseng:  If you're still up do you know what glibc detects of corrupted heap elements?05:49
bluefoxicyI'm thinking it's entirely possible to detect double free(), free() of a corrupt heap element, and free() when the next and previous elements in the chain of heap allocations are corrupt; but I'm not sure if glibc detects all of these AND differentiates between double free() and other weird corruption (which is doable simply by marking an entry in a special way when it's free()'d)05:51

bluefoxicyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedSecurityVulnerabilityDetection  This would be awesome, if https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedProblemReports ever happens.07:01
Hobbseefabbione: ahhhh...07:01
bluefoxicyActually the double free()/heap corruption/stack smash detection and reporting can be done without the kernel-level facilities07:01
fabbionewell who did activate the libata shit didn't prepare the transition properly07:01
fabbionejsgotangco: not that expensive..07:02
bluefoxicyalso it may be possible to load default signal handlers and modify signal() to unload them when new handlers are installed and load ours when signal handlers are cleared.07:02
bluefoxicyours would have to be able to tell signal() to load no handler *reliably* (ours would be in glibc though so no problem) and then send the signal to self to die though.  Hrm.  Or something creepy like that.07:04

MithrandirHobbsee: become a core dev and you can fix it yourself. :-)09:26
pittibluefoxicy: when I played with my preloaded-library approach (which is essentially the same thing) I had some problems with it as well, like gdb not being able to cleanly attach and so on; but that might be unrelated to the crashed process' state09:27

RiddellMithrandir: kubuntu-desktop is broken because of koffice which is waiting on ruby1.8 compiling on powerpc11:19
Riddelldoko: any idea what the gcc bug is that's cauing ruby1.8 to fail on powerpc?11:20
bluefoxicymdz:  I'd wanted to bring your attention to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityEdgyIdeas/Install-CD earlier due to the /home directory thing.11:22
infinityRiddell: Are you sure it's a GCC bud and not a ruby bug?11:22
bluefoxicyI think.  I know there was something I wanted to bring your attention to specifically.11:22
bluefoxicyanyway I'm sleeping, it's 5am11:23
Riddellinfinity: look at the build log, seems to be a gcc segfault11:23

infinity/build/buildd/ruby1.8-1.8.4/build-tree/ruby-1.8.4/lib/mkmf.rb:804: [BUG]  Segmentation fault11:23
infinity^^^ That's ruby segfaulting.11:23
Riddellhmm, right11:24

bluefoxicymdz:  short version:  some people I know actually have 500-750 gig hard drives and fill them with questionable content (for example, downloads of anime series they don't own...); that's like 100 DVDs or so.  It'd be nice to be able to nuke everything but /home at install if you're honestly going to make /root a big 500 gig partition just because the disk is 500 gigs wide.11:28

KamionKeybuk: given that it's in a section entitled "Special Behaviour of $@", I think it's semi-justifiable07:23
ogramjg59, well, then the ption in the font settings gui might be mis-named ... i can just tell waht i see here 07:23
KamionKeybuk: but you could always mail him and suggest he add a note07:23
KeybukKamion: I disagree ... a bad example, even when demonstrating a particular behaviour, is a bad example07:23
Keybukpeople tend to copy and paste examples without reading the surrounding text07:23
Kamionthen I repeat my second comment :)07:23
Keybukcf. the famous "wrong example of wait()" in Stevens which has been copied into many UNIX programs and defended07:23
KeybukI have just mailed him, actually07:23
Kamionta07:23
Keybuk(Stevens gives an example of a SIGCHLD handler that calls wait() as a general example of the kinds of things you do in such handlers ... this handler has been used as the template for many a developer's handler07:24
Keybukthe problem is that it calls wait() only once ... when you in fact need to do it in a loop to consume all child processes, as you may have received more than one signal or had signals dropped as you were beginning processing of one)07:25
Keybukhe fortunately corrected the example in later books (UNP carries a correct one)07:25
=== mdz_ [n=mdz@150.Red-80-39-239.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
KamionKeybuk: urgh, speaking of dodgy wait code, look at /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/progress.py and search for waitChild07:30
Kamionlet's wait for children by SPINNING07:30
Keybuk*blink*07:30
KeybukI can see why they've done that ... but ... eww07:31
Kamionwhat's wrong with read() and a signal handler07:31
KeybukI'd select() on an empty list ;)  but yeah, same thing07:31
mdz_fabbione: that isn't what I mean; for example, is ubuntu-desktop on sparc installable?  are the livefses building?07:33
KamionKeybuk: actually select() is indeed better because the reason it spins is that (in my case) read() is immediately returning EAGAIN07:34
