ivokspitti: i see you have plans for cups web interface09:45

ivokspitti: how?09:46
pittiivoks: I'll add a sgid shadow helper program 'check_user_password' (or so) to passwd or whereever09:47

pittiivoks: and 1.2.2 will go into dapper, too, unless it shows regressions09:48
ivokspitti: sorry, i'm on vacation, so i didn't do any work these days :/09:48
pittiivoks: heh, no need to excuse :)09:49
ivokspitti: well, i'll work on gtk interface09:49
Amaranthverify a login against the system account info and check to see if the user is either root or has sudo access09:49
ivokspitti: but i doubt there will be anything for edgy09:49
Amaranthwould your stuff work for that?09:49
pittiivoks: there will be *definitively* nothing to check if an user is a sudoer09:50

Kamionpitti: or PAM, but I guess you don't want to go to that much effort10:35
Kamionoh10:35
pittiKamion: but we need to check the password of an arbitrary user10:35
pittiKamion: and do that in a sane way, e. g. with a mandatory sleep(1) or so10:35
Kamionperhaps it could be executable only by CUPS10:36

dholbachslomo: it wants the new gnonlin and new gstreamer - i didn't look at pygst yet10:41

shenkishawarma: what aspect of it? did you read the wiki page I wrote?01:31
shenkiheh, what will that take?01:31
shawarmashenki: Yes.01:31
shawarmashenki: voodoo.01:31
shenkiintresting01:31
Keybukshawarma: in what kind of direction, ooi?01:31
shawarmashenki: Well, mostly it has to do with the way it handles DNS.01:32
Keybukmy thoughts have been to make network-manager conflict with ifupdown entirely, so once you install it, it forces you to rely on it01:32
shenkishawarma: well, let me know if you want any help or testing. also, Fujitsu mentioned to me he's going to package pam_keyring01:32
shawarmashenki: Right now, it doesn't, but I'd like it to.01:32
Keybukwhich takes away a lot of the interaction bugs01:32
FujitsuKeybuk, that's probably a good idea.01:33
shenkiKeybuk: you'd really need to wait until 0.7 to do that, because what you're suggesting would make the system unable to be online without logging into your desktop01:33
shawarmaKeybuk: IIRC your main concern was how to deal with network manager changing resolv.conf, but applications not knowing about it.. The NM guys "fix" this by depending on bind, which sucks.01:33
shawarmaKeybuk: What if we made it depend on one of the DNS proxies already in main. One of the tiny ones, of course.01:34
=== Mithrandir thinks NM shouldn't touch resolv.conf directly.
shawarmashenki: the pam_keyring thing is totally separated.01:34
shawarmaMithrandir: well.. It'd make sense for the networkamanger daemon to set it to point at 127.0.0.1 at boot and then never touch it again.01:35
shenkishawarma: seperated from networkmanager? yeah, i realise that. but it's essential for making network manager user friendly, unless 0.7 makes it into edgy (haha)01:35
Mithrandirshawarma: why do you think so?01:35
shawarmashenki: i suppose. I've never found that particular part very annoying. :-)01:35
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@ubuntu/member/freeflying] has joined #ubuntu-devel
shenkishawarma: do you have to type your password into that bloody login box every time you turn on your laptop?01:36
Keybukshawarma: then n-m would end up in universe01:36
shawarmaMithrandir: Well, that way there can be a dns proxy (whose settings can be altered at any point in time by nm), and we won't need to notify any apps of any change.01:36
Keybukwhy do you need to notify apps of the change to resolv.conf?01:36
Mithrandirshawarma: we don't need to notify apps anyway.01:37
Keybukwe patch libc so that apps reload resolv.conf if it changes mtime01:37
shawarmaKeybuk: Because some apps don't use libc for doing dns lookups and not all of them are clever enough to notice when something changes in resolv.conf01:37
Keybukshawarma: *shrug*01:37
Mithrandirshawarma: then they should be patched.  *shrug*.01:37
shawarmaKeybuk: firefox springs to mind..01:37
KeybukMithrandir++01:37
Mithrandirshawarma: firefox handles resolv.conf changing just fine.01:38
Keybukwe're not putting any kind of DNS daemon in ubuntu-desktop01:38
shawarmaMithrandir: ok.01:38
Keybukit'd conflict with people running their own DNS server of choice01:38
shawarmaMithrandir: But it's one of those apps that doesn't use libc for it.01:38
shawarmaKeybuk: Sure. But those people are probably not the people using networkmanager.01:38

=== dsas [n=dean@host86-129-18-243.range86-129.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Keybukshawarma: but that'd prevent anyone from using n-m01:39
KeybukKamion: eww, I assumed at least that debconf was bashism free01:39
Kamionuses echo01:39
shawarmaKeybuk: Huh? What would?01:39
Mithrandirshawarma: can you come up with an app that breaks?01:39
shawarmaMithrandir: I can make on in a few minutes. :-D01:39
Keybukshawarma: depending on a DNS daemon prevents people from installing their own DNS daemon without uninstalling n-m01:40
Keybukshawarma: thus if n-m was in ubuntu-desktop, people with an ubuntu desktop can't run a DNS daemon01:40
Keybukwe don't want that01:40
shawarmaMithrandir: but fine, let's leave the dns proxy out then. Why would it not be alright for nm to edit resolv.conf?01:40
Keybukso if n-m depends on a DNS daemon, n-m cannot be installed by default01:40
KamionKeybuk: ("echo 'foo\nbar'" behaves differently in bash and dash)01:40
Keybukshawarma: dhclient edits resolv.conf already01:40
shawarmaKeybuk: Yes, you've mentioned. :-) However, other things might have valuable information that belongs in there. In particular the vpn plugins.01:41
Keybukshawarma: those things can edit resolv.conf01:41
Mithrandirshawarma: there's no more reason for it to edit resolv.conf than there is for it to edit /etc/passwd.01:41
Keybuktbh, my ideal n-m situation would be:01:41
Keybuk- conflicts with ifupdown01:41
shawarmaKeybuk: If THEY can why can't nm?01:41
Keybukshawarma: why does nm need to?01:42
shawarmabecause you often use different DNS settings when you're on VPN.01:42
Keybukshawarma: right, I just said the vpn plugins could cause resolv.conf to change ...01:42
FujitsuWe need a resolve.conf.d :P01:42
ograeek01:42
shawarmaIf each vpn plugins implements it's own, that's (currently) three extra places things can go wrong as opposed to one if we let nm do it.01:42
KeybukFujitsu: tbh, we need resolv.conf to be a symlink to /var/run/resolv.conf or something01:43
Keybukto stop people thinking that they can edit it and have their chnages saved01:43
StevenKKeybuk: If n-m conflicts with ifupdown, what do you do about people who use n-m to run the ifupdown hooks?01:43
Keybukshawarma: I don't care where the function itself goes01:43
FujitsuKeybuk, yeah, that's a bit of a danger.01:43

Keybukshawarma: indeed01:44
shawarmaKeybuk: but.. ?01:44
Keybukbut nothing01:44
Mithrandirshawarma: apart from the fact that the backends will have to be able to edit resolv.conf _anyway_ if they're to function without NM?01:44
shawarmaMithrandir: The backends? the VPN plugins?01:45
Mithrandirshawarma: the VPN plugins probably talk to openvpn or similar, right?01:45
shawarmaMithrandir: Well... Yes.01:45
=== MatthewV [n=MatthewV@CPE-60-231-243-6.wa.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Mithrandirshawarma: and openvpn (or whatever) will have to be able to edit resolv.conf whether you use NM or not, right?01:46
Keybukand openvpn/pppd/etc. usually write resolv.conf themselves anyway01:46
shawarmaKeybuk: But nothing? Then why have we set it to NOT allow it to edit it?01:46
Keybukshawarma: because then it does something very stupid01:46
Keybukdhclient writes resolv.conf from the DHCP response01:46
Keybukn-m parses dhclient's log, and overwrites resolv.conf again01:46
Keybukwhich is just wrong01:46
Keybukn-m doesn't need to do anything!01:46
=== MatthewV [n=MatthewV@CPE-60-231-243-6.wa.bigpond.net.au] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"]
Keybuklikewise for things like openvpn and ppp, they write resolv.conf themselves *anyway*01:47
Keybukn-m shouldn't get involved01:47
MithrandirKeybuk: NM also changes my domain search path, which is wrong.01:47
shawarmaKeybuk: Right, in the case of dhclient. 01:47
Keybukshawarma: it's true in the case of almost everything n-m uses01:47
KeybukMithrandir: right, it rewrites it wrong01:47
shawarmaKeybuk: vpnc for instance only alters resolv.conf if resolvconf is installed (the package).01:47
Keybukshawarma: that sounds like a bug in vpnc01:48
Keybukit should write resolv.conf anyway01:48
MithrandirKeybuk: yes and no.  There's no way for me to tell it to keep away from changing that part of the file.  It's trivial to get dhclient to behave correctly.01:48

MithrandirKeybuk: domain search path is a completely legal thing for the user to change, IMNSHO.01:50
pittiRiddell: I will start our mini-frontend for crash reports soon and pondered about a simple inotify -> libnotify app (just to display that there's a new report, asking to file a bug)01:50
pittiRiddell: so we'll need a -gtk and a -kde version01:50
MithrandirI like "ssh aine" and "http://aine" to go to the right box no matter what network I'm on.01:50
shawarmaMithrandir: What if network-manager had a configuration option to let you prepend certain things to your domain search path?01:50
Mithrandirshawarma: I don't want to prepend.  I want to keep my search path in a particular way.01:51
shawarmadon't get me wrong here guys. I'm not a nm fan boy. :-) I just think nm does exactly what most of our potential users want it to and I want to give it to them. If that steps on someone else's toes, I'll try to fix it as best I can. I just need to know.01:51

Kamionschasi: no documentation as far as I know, but for Ubuntu you should use lsb_release; the reason we keep /etc/debian_version is that it means that code that looks at the version of the distribution to try to figure out how to behave will generally do roughly the right thing if it doesn't specifically know about Ubuntu03:53

Vhatawhy has Ubuntu (or did it come from Debian?) filled up /etc/skel/.bashrc with so much cruft?  Surely the skeleton files should be kept to a bare minimum so that sysadmins can override them from /etc/{profile,bash.bashrc}, and then ricer users can override *those* settings in their own files if they want?09:34
VhataPS1, for example, shouldn't be set in there09:36
crimsunthat's irrelevant in Edgy, since bash is no longer the system shell.09:36
VhataI'm more questioning the policy, I suppose09:36
mjg59Because applications should have sensible defaults09:37
Vhataand those defaults should be set system wide in /etc/whateverrc, not per-user in ~/.whateverrc09:38
mjg59I guess you could argue they should be in /etc/profile or whatever instead, but then upgrades would change behaviour for users and scripts may break09:38
mjg59Bash should just use gconf for settings. Then the world would be better.09:39
Vhatathat's true.  But surely pushing the behaviour to the edge (i.e. per-user) isn't a good way to solve that?09:39
Vhataheh09:39
mjg59Making it per-user means that the experience for any one user is consistent, which is arguably the lesser of two evils09:39
mjg59Traditional unix config doesn't really deal with this sort of situation terribly well09:40
Vhata*nod*09:40
Keybukcrimsun: umm, bash is still the default user shell09:40
crimsunKeybuk: right, but I don't think that's much of an issue for users, no?09:41

bigcx2hey all10:43
bigcx2i have a question about kernel-patch packages in general10:43
bigcx2is the running kernel patched by default, on a reboot, or does it have to be manually done?10:44
Petarisajmitch: ping10:44
tsengthe running kernel is certainly not patched10:45
Petarisajmitch: Have a minute to discuss AD integration?10:45
bigcx2alright10:45
bigcx2what about the other two tseng10:45
tsengwhat other two?10:45
tsengpatches are not magic, they apply to a directory full of source code10:46
bigcx2does it get patched on a reboot? or does it have to be done manually after package installation10:46
tsengyou build the patched code and finally run it10:46
tsengin the case of the kernel that means booting it10:46
tsengthis is one of those times when the addage applies10:46
tseng"if you don't know what you are doing, you are better off not doing it"10:47
bigcx2right, but my question is in terms of packaging10:47
bigcx2so10:47
tsengthe package installs patches to /usr/src or something like this10:47
bigcx2for example i install kernel-patch-uml10:47
bigcx2correct10:47
tsengit doesnt do anything with them.10:47
tsengthats up to you10:47
bigcx2ok, whats the proper way to go about patching it once its installed10:48
bigcx2theres no docs in /usr/share/doc10:48
tsengas I said before, if you dont know how to use patch or build a kernel, you are probably going to end up in a bad place10:48
tsengif you really want to continue you can read up on man patch10:49
bigcx2tseng: i'm doing this on a virtual machine to learn....10:49
tsengalso look at kernel-package10:49
bigcx2look, that has nothing to do with patching in the context of which i'm talking about10:52
bigcx2all i want to know is how to enable a patch already packaged under ubuntu10:52
