| Keybuk | frankly, who'd go to a kernel engineer to write a desktop environment? words like "usability" just aren't in their dictionary | 12:23 |
| Riddell | "Gnome + KDE apps" sounds like the edubuntu approach :) | 12:25 |
| hub | Riddell: or some other people. I just migrated to KMail | 12:27 |
| hub | even if it annoys me sometime | 12:27 |
| hub | it just provide better feature than Evo and T-bird | 12:27 |
| Riddell | what feature won you over? | 12:28 |
| LaserJock | Riddell: well, it's hard to overcome kalzium ;-) | 12:29 |
| hub | apply filter manual that t-bird do not do | 12:29 |
| hub | and keyboard navigation that evo do not to | 12:29 |
| hub | and the bloat as is missing ;-) | 12:29 |
| Riddell | right | 12:29 |
| hub | some bugs or missing things though | 12:30 |
| hub | like the notification icon that bugs with gnome-panel | 12:30 |
| Riddell | I just use mutt, but people say that KMail has good features. Until they find it deleting their inbox | 12:30 |
| hub | Riddell: I use IMAP over several accounts | 12:30 |
| hub | Riddell: that's why I stopped using mutt | 12:31 |
| hub | still love it | 12:31 |
| johanbr | I tried KDE for a while, before switching back to Gnome. KMail played a large part in making me switch back, with the weird contortions you have to go through just to get KMail to read a spool file filtered by procmail. | 12:33 |
| hub | Riddell: the worse is that $COMPANY will want us to move to use Evolution on top of our KDE desktop because of the groupware solution | 12:33 |
| Burgwork | hub, you telling me Xandros uses exchange? | 12:34 |
| Riddell | hub: really? but KMail has pretty decent groupware support, what's the server that's needed? | 12:35 |
| hub | Burgwork: no. Scalix | 12:35 |
| hub | Burgwork: we ship it | 12:35 |
| Burgwork | ah | 12:35 |
| hub | Riddell: Scalix | 12:35 |
| hub | Burgwork: between you and me, I wouldn't have been surprised to see exchange coming at one point | 12:36 |
| Burgwork | ugh, you poor man | 12:36 |
| hub | Burgwork: but at least it is the product we ship with out server solution | 12:36 |
| hub | I'll see. If I lose server side filtering, I'm not gonna be happy | 12:36 |
| bluefoxicy | anyone know if I should have a file '/etc/ld.so.conf.d/$machine-$os' ? | 12:38 |
| hub | Burgwork: at my previous company they wanted to sell and ActiveX based webmail solution | 12:39 |
| slomo_ | bluefoxicy: yes, should be there | 12:39 |
| hub | Burgwork: with all the engineering running Linux | 12:39 |
| bluefoxicy | slomo_: should it have dollar signs in the file name? | 12:39 |
| bluefoxicy | that's a really strange name for a file o.o | 12:39 |

| bddebian | Hello | 03:44 |
| Hobbsee | hi bddebian | 03:45 |
| bddebian | Hi Hobbsee | 03:48 |
| Hobbsee | has anyone done the mesa updates, and lived to tell the tale? | 03:49 |
| crimsun | what do you mean by 'done'? | 03:50 |
| rodarvus | Hobbsee, me :) | 03:51 |
| Hobbsee | crimsun: sorry, done as in upgraded | 03:51 |
| rodarvus | twice today :D | 03:51 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: did you break anything? | 03:51 |
| rodarvus | but I packaged mesa, so I might be biased :P | 03:51 |
| rodarvus | Hobbsee, X (and Mesa) has no bugs | 03:52 |
| rodarvus | it always the kernel, Gnome, KDE or some other package | 03:52 |
| rodarvus | its | 03:52 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: rofl! right. | 03:52 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: sure sure. | 03:52 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: then surely you should fix all those bugs then too :P | 03:52 |
| zul | rodarvus: yay blame us ;) | 03:53 |
| === Hobbsee blames zul. | ||
| rodarvus | I would fix X bugs if there were any | 03:53 |
| bddebian | sweet | 03:53 |
| === Hobbsee has to stay away from the internet connection, before we hit the bandwidth limit for the month. i'm still wondering whether it fixes things though. | ||
| rodarvus | Hobbsee, btw, if you wait for another hour or so, another (better) mesa update is already underway | 03:54 |
| === stub [n=stub@ppp-58.8.3.94.revip2.asianet.co.th] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| rodarvus | so, don't waste your bandwidth with this update | 03:54 |
| rodarvus | (now, I mean) | 03:54 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: but whyever would you need one? you just said it contained no bugs, so therefore should need no fixing? | 03:54 |
| Hobbsee | :P | 03:54 |
| rodarvus | its not bugfixing | 03:54 |
| rodarvus | its a new upstream release (Mesa 6.5) | 03:55 |
| mjg59 | AlinuxOS: I've just uploaded a new ttf-bpg-georgian-fonts to Debian | 03:55 |
| rodarvus | needed for X.Org 7.1 | 03:55 |
| Hobbsee | ooh...fun :) | 03:55 |
| mjg59 | AlinuxOS: I'll get it synced over to Ubuntu once it's in the archive | 03:55 |
| Hobbsee | when's xorg 7.1 coming in? | 03:55 |
| johanbr | rodarvus: Have you seen the bug where emacs, xfontsel, among other programs, claim there are no fonts present? | 03:55 |
| mjg59 | rodarvus: Score | 03:55 |
| rodarvus | Hobsee: a very large part of it is already installed on your machine, if you have edgy | 03:56 |
| mjg59 | rodarvus: Are you going to build with aiglx by default? | 03:56 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: nick completion is good, and okay. | 03:56 |
| mjg59 | (Even if you do, I believe it's disabled unless the user enables it in xorg.conf) | 03:56 |
| rodarvus | mjg59, not right now (it wasn't specced), but I plan to, if time allows | 03:56 |
| rodarvus | not sure if its going to happen for Edgy, though | 03:56 |
| rodarvus | (I'd really like to, if possible) | 03:56 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: just dont eat or sleep, you'll be fine :P | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | rodarvus: Ok. I'll look into what's needed | 03:57 |
| rodarvus | mjg59, thanks - really appreciated! | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | rodarvus: If all else fails, and the build-depends are there, I'll just update the source package in universe | 03:57 |
| rodarvus | build-deps are supposed to be there | 03:57 |
| ajmitch | wonderful | 03:58 |
| ajmitch | more shiny stuff | 03:58 |
| mjg59 | rodarvus: Yeah, mesa was the main sticking point | 03:58 |
| === Hobbsee coats ajmitch in shiny confetti. yep, shiny stuff! | ||
| ajmitch | mjg59: do you plan to update the xgl package, or should we do it (before the horde of users comes down on us)? | 03:58 |
| mjg59 | ajmitch: Is Xgl in the main xorg tree yet? | 03:59 |
| bddebian | Are we still not including GLw libs? | 03:59 |
| ajmitch | probably not | 03:59 |
| ajmitch | I haven't checked lately | 03:59 |
| rodarvus | bddebian, yes, we are not including GLw | 03:59 |
| mjg59 | If not, just greab the source package, do cvs update and make it use the new mesa | 03:59 |
| rodarvus | we have a policy of not supporting motif/lesstif on main | 03:59 |
| bddebian | rodarvus: Great, since I removed them from grass. Thanks :-) | 03:59 |
| mjg59 | Then someone needs to sort compiz | 04:01 |
| ajmitch | that could be thorny | 04:02 |
| rodarvus | I still have about 50 drivers I want sorted out before even thinking of any other package :/ | 04:02 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: where are you? isnt it 3 am or something there? | 04:03 |
| ajmitch | go with upstream, or go with the fork on compiz.net? | 04:03 |
| crimsun | 11:03 P.M. | 04:03 |
| rodarvus | Hobbsee, no, its 11 PM here | 04:03 |
| rodarvus | (UTC-3) | 04:03 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: ah ok, US somewhere. i thoguht you were in europe | 04:03 |
| rodarvus | actually, Brazil somewhere :) | 04:03 |
| Hobbsee | rodarvus: ahhh...nice! :) | 04:04 |
| mjg59 | ajmitch: I don't care, as long as we don't ship with the Novell logos... | 04:04 |
| mjg59 | ("oops") | 04:04 |
| bddebian | heh | 04:04 |
| Hobbsee | hehe | 04:04 |
| Hobbsee | please tell me we didnt do that. | 04:04 |
| ajmitch | nice, cvs update, half the makefiles conflict | 04:05 |
| ajmitch | do I care enough to fix it? | 04:05 |
| Hobbsee | ajmitch: yes, you do. | 04:06 |
| mjg59 | Hobbsee: Nope | 04:06 |
| mjg59 | ajmitch: For xgl? | 04:06 |
| ajmitch | yes | 04:06 |
| mjg59 | Makefiles, or Makefile.am? | 04:06 |
| mjg59 | (or Makefile.in, etc) | 04:06 |
| ajmitch | Makefile.am | 04:06 |
| mjg59 | Oh, that's a bit of an arse | 04:06 |
| ajmitch | all in the GL dir | 04:07 |
| mjg59 | Oh, hrm. I may have done horrible sed shit all over them at some stage | 04:07 |
| mjg59 | Ah, right | 04:07 |
| ajmitch | so it may not matter | 04:07 |
| mjg59 | Just nuke them and pull the upstream ones | 04:07 |
| mjg59 | The changes shouldn't be needed with new mesa | 04:07 |
| ajmitch | going back to cvs after using bzr is an experience | 04:07 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, it's like having a leg cut off | 04:08 |
| mjg59 | You want to roll back one changeset, but... | 04:08 |
| ajmitch | right, seems to be in order now | 04:09 |
| mjg59 | Cool | 04:11 |
| ajmitch | I really shouldn't do this on the laptop, it's got a much slower disk for building | 04:12 |
| mjg59 | Haha | 04:12 |
| Hobbsee | hehe | 04:12 |
| mjg59 | Wow | 04:12 |
| mjg59 | That's a point | 04:12 |
| mjg59 | I don't have a single machine with a 3.5" drive | 04:12 |
| mjg59 | Except the TV | 04:12 |
| === mjg59 really needs to sort out a zeroconf distcc laptop farm | ||
| rodarvus | ajmitch, mjg59: if you plan on build anything Mesa-6.5-dependant right now, please wait another hour or so (an even newer version of mesa was uploaded 1.5 hours ago) | 04:13 |
| mjg59 | Doing dist-upgrades at night is noticably faster | 04:15 |

| zul | got the monkey off your back? | 04:16 |
| LaserJock | mjg59: did Ubuntu on intel macs sort of die out? I was looking around on the web and most of the stuff is a few months old | 04:17 |
| mjg59 | LaserJock: Erm. | 04:18 |
| mjg59 | LaserJock: Dapper should pretty much just work | 04:18 |
| mjg59 | Only problem is that you have to do the partitioning under MacOS | 04:18 |
| LaserJock | mjg59: how do you boot it. I've seen bootcamp + rEFit + lilo | 04:19 |
| mjg59 | Skip the refit stage, just use lilo | 04:20 |
| mjg59 | Holding down alt lets you choose | 04:20 |
| LaserJock | ok, so use bootcamp to set stuff up, boot up an Ubuntu cd and use lilo? | 04:20 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 04:20 |
| bddebian | Do the Smashintels use OpenFirmware? | 04:21 |
| LaserJock | hmm | 04:21 |
| mjg59 | I'll try to sort out parted in time for edgy | 04:21 |
| mjg59 | At the moment it's irritatingly spec-compliant, which isn't what you want here | 04:21 |
| mjg59 | And a small patch for grub, then everything'll be fine | 04:21 |
| zul | mjg59: debian already has the patch for macintel which got synced for edgy | 04:22 |
| mjg59 | In grub? Cool. | 04:22 |

| bluefoxicy | I reduced gettimeofday() calls on an order of 500 times. | 08:47 |
| bluefoxicy | now all I need is something faster than gettimeofday() (I used posix timers to do interval timing, except it's about 25-50% slower than gettimeofday()) | 08:47 |
| bluefoxicy | the code handles skew to a configurable accuracy with automated drift checking on a sliding window; but it's pretty useless without some method that's faster than gettimeofday() to replace it with. | 08:47 |

| lifeless | bluefoxicy: what ya working on? | 08:59 |
| bluefoxicy | lifeless: http://lwn.net/Articles/192214/ "X is a big offender, apparently because the gettimeofday() call is still too slow and maintaining time stamps with interval timers is faster." | 08:59 |
| bluefoxicy | lifeless: I'm trying to maintain timestamps on a gettimeofday() type interface, in the background, automatically | 09:00 |
| bluefoxicy | pretty much I initialize a timer to gettimeofday() and set up a posix timer that's set to 999999999 usecs (1 second - 1 microsecond), and then when asked the time of day check the posix timer. | 09:01 |
| bluefoxicy | if it's disarmed (i.e. time ran down), I use gettimeofday() | 09:01 |
| bluefoxicy | if it's armed, I add the amount of time that's passed on the timer to my stored timeval; incriment a 'drift' on my timer; and copy my timeval into the target | 09:01 |
| bluefoxicy | If my 'drift' reaches a 'dcheck' value, I check for drift and reinitialize from gettimeofday(); if there is drift (i.e. I'm more than (accuracy) off from gettimeofday()), I decrease 'dcheck' so that drift is checked for more often (more gettimeofday() usage) | 09:02 |
| bluefoxicy | if there's no drift and I'm less than 95% of (accuracy) away from gettimeofday(), I increase 'dcheck' to lower the amount of gettimeofday() usage | 09:03 |
| bluefoxicy | lifeless: the result is that I'm using a target accuracy of 500uS, so I'm probably within 1000uS (actually within 550uS), and using gettimeofday() 1/500 of the time. | 09:04 |
| === rpedro_ [n=rpedro@87-196-111-49.net.novis.pt] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | the problem is, of course, that checking the time left on posix timers is SLOWER than gettimeofday() | 09:04 |
| bluefoxicy | so I'm trying to figure out what this magical "interval timers" thing is. | 09:04 |
| === marilize [n=marilize@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| lifeless | bluefoxicy: ah | 09:05 |
| bluefoxicy | I asked davey jones | 09:05 |
| bluefoxicy | since he gave the original "userspace is way too slow" speech. | 09:06 |
| lifeless | setitimer ? | 09:06 |
| lifeless | http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/article.asp?p=23618&seqNum=14&rl=1 | 09:06 |
| bluefoxicy | ah | 09:07 |
| lifeless | (btw, 'linux interval timer' in google :)) | 09:08 |
| bluefoxicy | hah | 09:09 |
| bluefoxicy | the thing with that is it's signal based, so I can't turn it into a black box | 09:09 |
| bluefoxicy | plus there's only 3 interval timers, and I need the realtime one. | 09:09 |
| bluefoxicy | so it's not a case of "stick it there, use the interface, it works;" more "don't use this that and the other thing, and this will work" | 09:10 |
| bluefoxicy | so much for being generic. | 09:10 |
| lifeless | well | 09:10 |
| lifeless | I think the point is that if gettimeofday could be made faster the kernel folk would | 09:10 |
| lifeless | so, its about doing things differently in the user app | 09:11 |
| Amaranth | bluefoxicy: is what you already have better than what X does? | 09:11 |
| bluefoxicy | Amaranth: it's slower by 30% because timer_settime() is slower than gettimeofday() | 09:12 |
| desrt | does anyone have a copy of dave jones' slides from ols? | 09:12 |
| desrt | sounds like they might be a good read | 09:12 |
| Amaranth | bluefoxicy: err, i thought you were using gettimeofday() and a timer | 09:12 |
| bluefoxicy | Amaranth: I want to avoid anything that delivers random signals or spawns threads (I can get the timers to spawn threads to update but then i have to worry about thread safety and such) | 09:13 |
| Amaranth | oh | 09:13 |
| Amaranth | i see | 09:13 |
| Amaranth | so you made something much more complex yet slower than just using gettimeofday() directly :) | 09:13 |
| bluefoxicy | yeah | 09:13 |

| seb128 | desrt: is there an easy way to know if gnome-vfs is using inotify or gam,fam? | 09:58 |
| desrt | seb128; it's using inotify | 10:00 |
| desrt | :) | 10:00 |
| desrt | seb128; or is this more like you have to tell something to someone on bugzilla to figure out what the heck is going on? | 10:01 |
| seb128 | desrt: not, that's like I've gam_server running | 10:01 |
| desrt | in that case check if fam or gamserver is running | 10:01 |
| desrt | o. | 10:01 |
| seb128 | and after sending it a SIGUSR2 the log has things like | 10:01 |
| seb128 | "if that's what you want to ask, what about asking dir" | 10:01 |
| seb128 | ups | 10:01 |
| seb128 | stupid copy being b0rked | 10:01 |

| seb128 | to /tmp/gamin_debug_QX9zWH | 10:02 |
| seb128 | and directories like ~/Templates being listed there | 10:02 |
| desrt | have you messed around with your kernel and disabled inotify or something? | 10:02 |
| seb128 | no | 10:02 |
| seb128 | but maybe the edgy kernel is b0rked | 10:02 |
| seb128 | that's why I'm asking how I can know if it's using inotify or not :) | 10:02 |
| desrt | gnome-vfs will check for inotify and fall back on libfam | 10:02 |
| seb128 | right, that I know | 10:03 |
| dholbach | idiotify! :-) | 10:03 |
| desrt | well. it is clearly using fam :) | 10:03 |
| seb128 | the question is "how do I make it tell what he figured about inotify" | 10:03 |
| seb128 | s/he/it | 10:03 |
| desrt | strace gnomevfs-monitor ~ | 10:03 |

| seb128 | SYS_291(0xb7fd1c70, 0, 0x1, 0xb7fbd7c0, 0xb7f537d0) = 3 | 10:04 |
| desrt | i wonder where all my fds went | 10:04 |
| desrt | holy crap gam_server is running | 10:05 |
| seb128 | :) | 10:05 |
| desrt | wtf! | 10:05 |
| Amaranth | i knew something was wrong :P | 10:05 |
| seb128 | desrt: ok, that's where I wanted to bring you ;) | 10:05 |
| seb128 | so either linux is b0rked | 10:06 |
| seb128 | or gnomevfs is | 10:06 |
| Amaranth | need a small app that using inotify directly | 10:06 |
| dholbach | i think mvo wrote a piece of code that does that. | 10:07 |
| dholbach | but he's not here yet | 10:08 |
| desrt | it's clearly using inotify directly | 10:08 |
| seb128 | dholbach: inotify upstream has some code for that, why is mvo reinventing the wheel :) | 10:08 |
| ogra | there must be an old inotify bug where he attached it | 10:08 |
| desrt | pipe([3, 4] ) = 0 | 10:08 |
| desrt | pipe([5, 6] ) = 0 | 10:08 |
| desrt | pipe([7, 8] ) = 0 | 10:08 |
| dholbach | seb128: he wanted to play with it | 10:08 |
| desrt | in the middle of nowhere | 10:08 |
| seb128 | dholbach: right, that's mvo :p | 10:09 |
| desrt | oh. seb. do you have very new gnomevfs installed? | 10:09 |
| desrt | orbit seems to be making these pipes -- a problem that very new gnome-vfs would not have :) | 10:09 |
| seb128 | desrt: I've edgy, which has 2.15.90 from yesterday | 10:10 |
| seb128 | or from monday :) | 10:10 |
| desrt | there's a very unhappy darwin user on gnome buzilla | 10:10 |
| seb128 | dholbach: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/utils/inotify-utils-0.25.tar.gz | 10:10 |
| desrt | the whole "just move the symbols from libgnomevfs to libbonobo" thing doesn't work on macos :) | 10:10 |
| seb128 | desrt: cf ABI breakage and wanting to bump the soname? | 10:10 |
| ajmitch | right. xgl updated from git, but will it work? | 10:10 |
| desrt | ya. jerk. | 10:10 |
| seb128 | desrt: I don't like his tone | 10:11 |
| seb128 | "Perhaps you need to go and reread the library versioning section of the libtool | 10:11 |
| seb128 | manual (assuming you read it in the first place)" | 10:11 |
| desrt | seb128; i sort of like christian/alex's tones... but for a bad reason :) | 10:11 |
| seb128 | LART | 10:11 |
| seb128 | hehe | 10:11 |
| desrt | the gnome community is increasingly getting the "if it's not linux, i don't care" attitude | 10:11 |
| desrt | which i think is really good | 10:11 |
| Amaranth | inotify-test seems to be working | 10:12 |
| desrt | inotify is definitely working. those syscalls are returning good things. | 10:12 |
| Amaranth | so i'm thinking something is wrong with gnome-vfs | 10:12 |
| seb128 | in fact the gam_server log I've about nautilus seems to be for non-existant directories it has to monitor | 10:12 |
| desrt | fwiw, i'm using straight inotify here with no gamin | 10:12 |
| desrt | i have no idea why gam_server is running | 10:12 |
| seb128 | like I had no ~/Templates | 10:12 |
| seb128 | so inotify seems to complain and it falls back using gam_server for polling it | 10:12 |
| seb128 | or something like that | 10:12 |
| Amaranth | hrm | 10:13 |
| seb128 | $ tail -f gamin_debug_XYpe57 | 10:13 |
| seb128 | Event to /usr/bin/epiphany : 1, 2, /usr/local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache Deleted | 10:13 |
| seb128 | Event to /usr/bin/epiphany : 1, 9, /usr/local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache None | 10:13 |
| seb128 | ... | 10:13 |
| seb128 | it has things like that | 10:13 |
| Amaranth | inotify-test spit out the fact that someone touched ~/.bashrc but not that i created ~/foo | 10:14 |
| === desrt gets an evil idea | ||
| seb128 | Amaranth: the gnome-vfs code for inotify didn't change a lot recently, if you have issues with it might be inotify itself | 10:14 |
| Amaranth | i dunno if the tool is broken or if inotify is but it's only spitting out the first event | 10:14 |

| seb128 | Amaranth: does gnomevfs-monitor works fine for you? it does on my desktop | 10:22 |
| Amaranth | yep | 10:22 |
| desrt | seb128; evolution is in a sad state | 10:23 |
| desrt | seb128; all of the people who would be good maintainers for it are burned out from it | 10:23 |
| Amaranth | gnomevfs-monitor shows creation and removal | 10:23 |
| Amaranth | if gam_server would respond to SIGUSR2 i would be able to tell if it was handling those events | 10:23 |

| desrt | i wonder if maybe gvfs falls back to gamin when inotify runs out of handles | 10:41 |
| desrt | has anyone heard anything new about that new netlink socket based file notification api? | 10:42 |
| desrt | the impression i get is that inotify seriously sucks and that all attempts to improve it are being fiercely faught against by linus | 10:43 |

| Treenaks | desrt: | 10:43 |
| Treenaks | desrt: does linus give reasons for this fighting? | 10:43 |
| desrt | yes. they're even good reasons. | 10:44 |
| desrt | inotify works by you telling the kernel what inodes you want to watch | 10:44 |
| desrt | user processes could theoretically fork many many copies of themselves | 10:44 |
| desrt | and file many many watches on files belonging to other users | 10:44 |
| desrt | causing file IO done by those users to slow to a crawl | 10:45 |
| desrt | so there's a per-user watch descriptor limit | 10:45 |
| desrt | the problem is that it's very easy to hit that limit | 10:45 |
| === lmanul [n=manu@dan75-4-82-239-58-38.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| desrt | if you have beagle running, for example, you're practically guarenteed to hit it | 10:45 |
| desrt | so, as a fallback, because you can't always get an inotify handle, you have to resort to polling | 10:46 |
| desrt | it's insane | 10:46 |
| desrt | also, because inotify is inode based, there is no way to say "notify me when a file called "/home/desrt/foo/bar/baz is created" | 10:46 |
| dholbach | can somebody please get jokosher out of NEW? | 10:46 |
| desrt | you have to watch /home/desrt and "foo was created" events | 10:46 |
| desrt | then watch "foo" for "bar was created events (and hope you didn't miss one in a race), etc | 10:47 |
| desrt | so this is another case where the gnomevfs inotify code polls | 10:47 |
| desrt | dholbach; is muine-shell in edgy? | 10:48 |
| dholbach | desrt: i have no idea | 10:48 |
| seb128 | dholbach: that's like your daily question :p | 10:48 |
| dholbach | seb128: I didn't ask yesterday. | 10:48 |
| Mithrandir | desrt: any idea why linus absolutely wants it to be inode-based? | 10:48 |
| desrt | dholbach; better ask twice today, then :) | 10:48 |
| seb128 | ah, sorry, "almost daily" :) | 10:48 |
| desrt | Mithrandir; uhm.... as far as i know he doesn't? | 10:48 |
| desrt | Mithrandir; inode-based, i think, was john's design decision | 10:48 |
| desrt | Mithrandir; linus only insists on the per-user limits | 10:49 |
| desrt | Mithrandir; oh. i think he also disliked the /dev/inotify business and insisted on syscalls, too :) | 10:49 |

| slomo_ | Riddell: that sounds more like a kpdf bug... why would it need the splash headers if there is absolutely no splash functionality anymore? do you have the url to a build log? | 12:17 |
| Riddell | slomo_: only on my local machine | 12:18 |
| pitti | dholbach: how did you manage to upload two different diff.gz/dsc of jokosher with the same version number? :) | 12:19 |
| slomo_ | Riddell: ok, i'll take a look at it myself then... | 12:20 |
| Riddell | slomo_: of course this might explain why people are complaining that kpdf doesn't work | 12:20 |
| slomo_ | Riddell: hrm, the qt bindings only support splash it seems... so we must enable both probably... | 12:22 |
| dholbach | pitti: they were sitting in NEW and soyuz didn't discard one of them | 12:22 |

| dholbach | *happy* beam | 12:26 |
| highvoltage | nice beam. | 12:31 |
| slomo_ | Riddell: yes, the poppler qt bindings are completely broken when only using cairo... will be fixed with next upload :) | 12:33 |
| seb128 | slomo_: how will it be fixed? | 12:34 |
| slomo_ | seb128: by enabling splash and cairo... the cairo stuff is only used in the glib bindings anyway and not in libpoppler itself | 12:34 |
| slomo_ | seb128: but i have to test it before... that's only theory now ;) | 12:35 |
| iwj | ogra: Oh, the SCP UI runs as root ?! | 12:35 |
| ogra | iwj, yup, it needs to it kills shh sessions of users :) | 12:35 |
| iwj | ogra: Right, well, I suppose if it can run commands as anyone then it's root-equivalent anyway. | 12:35 |
| seb128 | slomo_: you can't build with both | 12:35 |
| iwj | If you didn't need to run commands as users you could have a userv service (or sudo config if you must) for killing ssh sessions or whatever. | 12:36 |
| ogra | iwj, yup ... i think thats the key which i missed to write doen ... also the system dbus will only allow access as uid 0 | 12:36 |
| ogra | so all that auth stuff ist really relevant (a nice add on though) | 12:36 |
| Amaranth | ogra: that's fixable (dbus) | 12:36 |
| slomo_ | seb128: why? at least configure is able to enable both at the same time | 12:36 |
| ogra | *isnt | 12:36 |
| iwj | Right. Write down where that's configured, too. | 12:36 |
| iwj | I mean, where it's configured who gets access to the system dbus. | 12:37 |
| ogra | well, i dbus indeed | 12:37 |
| iwj | Or if it's not a matter of configuration, where it's documented. | 12:37 |
| seb128 | slomo_: how would you have both used together? | 12:37 |
| iwj | ogra: Also, what's all that stuff about S/Key ? | 12:37 |
| ogra | i dont understand why i should reference to every possible protocol or mechanism here since we only use the implemented one in dbus ... | 12:37 |
| iwj | Are you sure you're going to be using that ? | 12:37 |
| ogra | i'm using what the dbus spec proposes as default | 12:38 |
| iwj | dbus will use a SASL library so it can do everything our SASL can. | 12:38 |
| ogra | which is SASL with SKEY | 12:38 |
| iwj | I can't see that in the dbus spec you have a reference to. | 12:39 |
| iwj | And it seems wrong really. S/Key is for one-time passwords. | 12:39 |
| slomo_ | seb128: the glib bindings use cairo, the others use splash. works fine here at least with evince and pdflatex... | 12:39 |
| seb128 | slomo_: and what is doing atm? | 12:39 |
| ogra | but based on the fact that only root can access a dbus service thats run as root (system bus) its not relevant at all i think ... mind if i wipe the auth stuff completely ? | 12:39 |
| iwj | reference to every possible protocol> Obviously you should provide references for the ones you're going to be using, but not others. | 12:39 |
| iwj | ogra: I don't know if it's relevant. How does it work that only root can access the dbus system bus ? | 12:40 |
| slomo_ | seb128: the current version disables splash and the qt bindings then have undefined references to the splash stuff (which are not noticed at build time because of no -Wl,--no-undefined) | 12:40 |
| ogra | but i dont care what dbus uses ... it will use the same auth it uses for all other system services | 12:40 |
| ogra | thats why i rely on a existing framework with proven security | 12:40 |
| iwj | If it does it by having some kind of authentication protocol over the connection to the dbus daemon then you should say that and which protocol it's using etc. (probably by giving a reference to the config file or a manpage or something). | 12:41 |
| ogra | i *can* find out how dbus does that, but is it really necessary to describe it detailed because i want to use it ? | 12:41 |
| iwj | If it does it some other way then surely it must be documented somewhere ? | 12:41 |
| ogra | well, it will use the standard dbus innings | 12:41 |
| iwj | Well, if it's a well-known fact that only root can access the system dbus then fine. | 12:41 |
| ogra | ok | 12:41 |
| iwj | Just state it. | 12:41 |
| seb128 | slomo_: if the other don't use splash, not cairo what do they use? it's not really clear ... | 12:41 |
| ogra | i'll clean up the spec | 12:41 |
| iwj | (But then I'm confused as to how the program-running-as-user can get these please-execute-command messages.) | 12:42 |

| iwj | I know nothing about that. | 12:42 |
| ogra | the session bus listens for messages on the system bus ... | 12:42 |
| iwj | Doesn't the session bus run as the user ? | 12:43 |
| ogra | the tool thats the listener is waiting for specific namespaced messages | 12:43 |
| slomo_ | seb128: the qt bindings only use splash but as libpoppler-splash is not build and not statically linked against it it has missing symbols. the glib bindings can use splash but use cairo if it is enabled (or did i misunderstand your question?) | 12:43 |
| ogra | yup | 12:43 |
| ogra | but the session bus can pick up messages from the system bus | 12:43 |
| iwj | So if it runs as the user how can it connect to the system bus which you just told me only root can connect to ? | 12:43 |
| ogra | i.e. hal, g-p-m or nm do that | 12:43 |
| Mithrandir | iwj: look at /etc/dbus-1/system.d/* for various ACLs for different end points on the system bus. | 12:44 |
| ogra | it cant *send* | 12:44 |
| ogra | but it can listen for messages | 12:44 |
| iwj | Mithrandir: Thanks, that's the information we're looking for I think. | 12:44 |
| iwj | ogra: You should provide references to the access control configuration and documentation. | 12:44 |
| ogra | ok | 12:44 |
| iwj | You don't have to redescribe everything. | 12:44 |
| seb128 | slomo_: I just find weird to have the glib bindings using cairo and poppler itself using splash, but if you say that works fine ... | 12:45 |
| ogra | i think i had a reference to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ i te first one before i started to change everything :) | 12:45 |
| iwj | Your spec can pretty much assume that people know all about the stuff you're using but you have to provide references so that if they don't know they can go and read something to find out. | 12:45 |
| iwj | And a reference to which manpage or dbus doc or whatever specifies the meaning of those files. | 12:45 |
| iwj | And you should say whether you plan to change them at all. | 12:45 |
| iwj | `We will add a new ACL entry so that ...' or some such. | 12:46 |
| ogra | iwj, i was falsesly assuming that people know the existing SCP ... so i didnt add the info about gksudo :) | 12:46 |
| ogra | *falsely | 12:46 |
| slomo_ | seb128: libpoppler itself doesn't use splash or cairo. only the bindings use one of the two | 12:46 |
| ogra | the initial spec pointed to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ ad that services files for auth and namespace are added there, but didnt explain it further | 12:46 |
| seb128 | slomo_: ok, if you don't break poppler-glib feel free to do any change you want :) | 12:47 |
| iwj | ogra: Well, if there had been a reference to the existing SCP specification you might get away with that. But of course the more specific to your project, or the more obscure, the more you might have to state nonobvious things. | 12:47 |
| ogra | yep | 12:47 |
| iwj | ogra: Do those files contain access control as well as binding information, then ? | 12:47 |
| iwj | That wasn't clear to me. | 12:47 |
| ogra | it has a <policy> tag in the xml which enables ACLs | 12:48 |
| ogra | see /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf for example | 12:48 |
| ogra | hal.conf is even better it has some finer grained stuff there | 12:50 |

| Amaranth | -Z | 12:50 |
| ogra | Amaranth, nope | 12:50 |
| ogra | the system bus wont read from that | 12:50 |
| iwj | ogra: Right, I see now. I think if you include your proposed system.d file in the spec (or an example of it) then things will be much clearer. | 12:51 |
| Amaranth | how does it decide what to allow? | 12:51 |
| iwj | It's OK to put important interface definitions and so on in specs. | 12:51 |
| ogra | iwj, ok, so i'll add a note about uid 0 and attach the xml ... | 12:51 |

| ogra | Amaranth, you cant override the system bus in userspace ... | 12:56 |
| Amaranth | *facepalm* | 12:56 |
| Amaranth | dbus considers /usr/bin/nm-applet and ~/.evil/nm-applet to be different things and doesn't allow access to the second one? | 12:57 |

| ajmitch | doko: that's what I meant, really :) | 01:13 |
| rodarvus | yeah, why should two 12 hours build block anything? :) | 01:13 |
| rodarvus | hmm, strange, vernadsky is idle -> https://launchpad.net/+builds/vernadsky | 01:17 |
| rodarvus | shouldn't it pick the next item in the queue automatically? (or openoffice.org build being for dapper has any effect on it?) | 01:17 |
| ogra | rodarvus, ist that crontab driven ? | 01:18 |
| rodarvus | could be, but the openoffice.org build finished 9 minutes ago. | 01:19 |

| Mithrandir | iwj: what's a useful way to debug "firefox doesn't load some pages at all" problems? For instance. www.brygging.no doesn't work from this machine. I've tried nuking ~/.firefox and ~/.mozilla. Also, it seems to affect epiphany. | 01:20 |
| ogra | sure thats not a network thing ? | 01:21 |
| ogra | i.e. did you try links | 01:22 |
| rodarvus | Mithrandir, might be the same bug I was bitten when trying to access gmail | 01:22 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: yes, it works fine with lynx. | 01:22 |
| Mithrandir | rodarvus: which bugs is that? | 01:22 |
| rodarvus | edgy firefox has a stripped browser id line | 01:22 |
| rodarvus | missing Gecko/2006<something> | 01:22 |
| iwj | www.brygging.no> WFM | 01:22 |
| rodarvus | I reported it to iwj a few days ago | 01:22 |
| rodarvus | (didn't open a LP ticket, though) | 01:23 |
| crevette | mee too | 01:23 |
| ogra | yes, i see a lot of beer too | 01:23 |
| Mithrandir | it seems to hang after loading a bit of data, but I haven't tcpdumped it yet. | 01:23 |
| iwj | I don't think the browser string is relevant here. | 01:23 |
| crevette | the bug on gmail exist since end of june | 01:23 |

| iwj | I take it you're not knowingly using any kind of proxy. | 01:23 |
| rodarvus | Mithrandir, this page loads successfully here | 01:24 |
| rodarvus | (with epiphany and firefox) | 01:24 |

| rodarvus | (returning to the buildd subject) should I worry about vernadski being idle or is it expected? | 01:26 |
| iwj | It sounds to me like you have network problems. | 01:26 |
| iwj | I suppose you could try wget -p. | 01:27 |
| Mithrandir | iwj: well, dillo works. | 01:28 |

| rodarvus | Kamion, thanks | 01:46 |
| === ogra assumes he should read up about UUID | ||
| Mithrandir | the migration broke for me, but I'm using evms, so. | 01:46 |
| Kamion | ogra: UUID= is normal, but try 'blkid -t UUID=7c24e63d-e8f7-4738-93f5-a63edd2c641a' | 01:47 |
| Kamion | ogra: it returns stray evms crap for me too | 01:47 |
| Kamion | so I suspect something's wonky in libblkid | 01:47 |
| ogra | well, it returns two lines for me | 01:47 |
| Kamion | bug Keybuk about it when he wakes up | 01:47 |
| ogra | one with and one without evms | 01:47 |
| Kamion | right, likewise | 01:47 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: for extra winnage:: | 01:48 |

| Kamion | so, it's probably harmless and will be sorted out once the blkid bug is fixed | 01:48 |
| ogra | lol | 01:48 |
| Mithrandir | and trying to open that gives an error. | 01:48 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: 2754 works too, of course, 2744 is just paranoid | 03:44 |
| Kamion | iwj: details? | 03:44 |
| Kamion | iwj: the default may be wrong; that's fine as long as it's asked | 03:45 |
| Kamion | if Windows or another OS that requires the hardware clock to be in local time is installed, then it defaults to local time and doesn't ask | 03:45 |
| Mithrandir | oh, nice, you don't have to be root to mlock any more. (Up to RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, at least) | 03:46 |
| Kamion | otherwise it defaults to UTC and asks | 03:46 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: right | 03:46 |
| iwj | Kamion: Ah, it's probably seeing the W98SE that's sitting around on this disk. | 03:46 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: that's why we could un-setuid gnupg since warty | 03:46 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: (some of the sanity checks are not necessary, I just want to be on the safe side) | 03:46 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: it would be more logical to be size_t | 03:47 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: hmm, it seems like you should make sure both input values are null-terminated. As it is, you can end up not reading all the input. | 03:50 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: how so? | 03:50 |
| Mithrandir | it's a kinda a contrived case, but it bit us in usplash, for instance. | 03:50 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: if I read more than or equal to sizeof(buffer), I abort with 'input overflow' | 03:51 |

| bddebian | Kamion: What do I do about the rejects on those fakesysnc because of SHA1 sums? | 03:57 |
| Kamion | bddebian: well, you can't get the Debian .orig.tar.gz in the archive; we only ever have one file with a given name | 03:58 |
| Kamion | bddebian: so you need to compare the Debian and Ubuntu .orig.tar.gzs | 03:58 |
| Kamion | bddebian: it may well be that there are no interesting changes, and the upload will do just fine with the Ubuntu .orig.tar.gz | 03:59 |
| Kamion | bddebian: in which case you should upload a build1 built with the *Ubuntu* .orig.tar.gz and no -sa | 03:59 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: you're aware that you're disallowing blank passwords? | 03:59 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: yes | 03:59 |
| Kamion | bddebian: if the .orig.tar.gz files are materially different, that's harder - probably best to apply the relevant differences to the Ubuntu diff in that case | 03:59 |
| Kamion | but either way, you must upload with the Ubuntu .orig.tar.gz, and no -sa | 04:00 |
| bddebian | Kamion: OK | 04:00 |
| bddebian | thanks | 04:00 |

| Mithrandir | pitti: I can't poke any holes in it, I think. The conversion function's implicit assumption about message styles is a bit unfortunate, but I understand why it's done and agree it's not a problem. | 04:06 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: thanks for the review; I'm a bit stunned about read(), though; if I just sit around retrying to read if read returns 0, I'm stuck forever with above test command | 04:09 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: either bash does not close stdin when the echo command finishes, or read() does not fail with EBADF if stdin is EOFed | 04:10 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: make both be null-terminated, then? | 04:10 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: how does that help me? | 04:10 |
| Mithrandir | once you read the second NULL byte you know you're done and can continue. | 04:10 |
| pitti | hm | 04:10 |
| pitti | feels a bit unclean, but I guess I have to live with that | 04:10 |
| pitti | it'll mean the process sits around forever if it never receives two NULs | 04:11 |

| Zdra | I can reproduce a crash, I click on "informer les developpeurs" to start bug buddy but it doesn't start... | 05:02 |
| dholbach | Zdra: is that on dapper or on edgy? | 05:03 |
| Zdra | edgy | 05:03 |
| dholbach | are the versions of libgnomeui-0 and bug-buddy 2.15.90-0ubuntu1? | 05:03 |
| Zdra | oh... bug-buddy is taking 100% CPU :p | 05:04 |
| seb128 | dholbach: no they are not, he would not get that dialog other way | 05:04 |

| seb128 | Zdra: ah, not good :) | 05:04 |
| dholbach | ah, yes - seb128: i just wanted to know if he has one new version and one old version | 05:04 |

| Kamion | ogra: no, that would mean having to rename default to something else in edgy+1 and introduce a new default | 06:24 |

| ogra | Kamion, yes, thast the point | 06:24 |
| ogra | *thats | 06:24 |
| ogra | i'm guessing we'll have new default artwork in edgy+1 | 06:25 |
| Kamion | ogra: seems undesirable | 06:25 |
| Kamion | I'd prefer not designing something that requires packages to be renamed every release | 06:25 |
| === HiddenWolf [n=HiddenWo@136.210.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | introducing new names is one thing, always having to rename the old thing out of the way first is another | 06:26 |
| ogra | thats why i said default-{wallpapers,session-splashes,etc} | 06:26 |
| ogra | why do yu need to renale ? | 06:26 |
| ogra | *rename | 06:26 |
| ogra | ubuntu-artwork wasnt renamed since warty and always contained the default... | 06:26 |
| Kamion | we've never kept the old artwork around before though, at least not in separate packages | 06:27 |
| ogra | right | 06:27 |
| Kamion | I have no objection to there being a package that depends on whatever the current default artwork is, obviously | 06:27 |
| ogra | so the plan is to kepp the old ones ? | 06:27 |
| ogra | *keep | 06:27 |
| Kamion | that's what dholbach said | 06:27 |
| dholbach | ok, so you suggest, i drop the 'edgy-' bit and preserve changes in a 'dapper-*' package once I do the change? | 06:27 |
| Kamion | I don't like having release names in packages at all, personally | 06:28 |
| dholbach | hm | 06:28 |
| Kamion | what's in edgy-*? | 06:28 |
| dholbach | i wanted to server the goal of still "having the old artwork" - since some people wanted to have that. | 06:28 |
| Kamion | is it just dependencies on the current default, or does it have artwork in it? | 06:28 |
| dholbach | it has artwork | 06:29 |
| Kamion | is there no way to give that collection of artwork a name? | 06:30 |
| Kamion | or is it really just "The Edgy Artwork"? | 06:30 |
| Kamion | if the latter, I guess edgy-* would be ok, I'd reluctantly withdraw my objection | 06:30 |
| dholbach | it is the edgy artwork, there was no 'meta name' given to it - ok, there was the 'Human look', but the community artwork stuff wouldn't qualify as Human, and I'm not sure that the edgy artwork will not be 'Human', even if it looks different | 06:31 |
| Kamion | ok, I see | 06:31 |
| dholbach | I'm happy for suggestions and not insisting on the packaging names, not all. | 06:31 |

| hub | and I have ported it 3 or 4 times | 07:13 |
| Keybuk | hub: why would it be a PITA? | 07:13 |
| Keybuk | you can implement automake using GNU make | 07:13 |

| madduck | tseng: :( | 08:13 |
| tseng | one moment i need to get it in gedit or so | 08:13 |
| tseng | it really cant work in one sentence is all | 08:13 |
| madduck | but i put a colon in there. :) | 08:14 |
| johndomero | I made an auto-installation CD with Breezy, and "base-config base-config/late_command" worked well; but it refuses to run under Dapper. Has "base-config base-config/late_command" been depreciated in favor of something else? | 08:14 |

| Kamion | johndomero: yeah - use preseed/late_command and 'chroot /target ...' to do stuff in the installed system | 08:17 |
| Kamion | johndomero: base-config's dead, so base-config/late_command no longer works | 08:17 |
| Kamion | johndomero: if you give me a little more detail about what you're doing then I'll be happy to try to give you more detailed advice | 08:17 |
| tseng | madduck: http://pastebin.ca/101100 | 08:18 |
| johndomero | Kamion: The Dapper installation documentation from installation-guide-i386 (file:///usr/share/doc/installation-guide-i386/en/apbs04.html) still claims that "base-config base-config/late_command" exists. | 08:18 |
| tseng | madduck: this isnt perfect but it breaks it down into bits digestible by us stupid americans | 08:18 |
| tseng | in the last sentence | 08:18 |
| tseng | fact should be changed to something less firm | 08:19 |
| johndomero | Kamion: Could this documentation be updated to reflect this change? ;-) | 08:19 |
| tseng | but expectation sounds crap there. | 08:19 |
| johndomero | Kamion: I appreciate your help. | 08:19 |
| Kamion | johndomero: huh, I thought I'd caught that one | 08:19 |
| Kamion | sorry about that | 08:19 |
| === tseng volunteers Burgwork to give that a final polish. | ||
| Burgwork | hmm? | 08:19 |
| Kamion | yes, you're quite right - it will probably be cleared up when I merge installation-guide from Debian in edgy, but I'll file a bug to make sure I remember | 08:20 |
| tseng | comma between open and collaborative is really grammatically correct, too. | 08:20 |
| tseng | i have to run for a bit. | 08:20 |
| johndomero | Kamion: What was the reason for depreciating it? Second of all, are there any limitations in using the chroot method with d-i late command? | 08:20 |
| Kamion | johndomero: it was replaced by doing everything in a single stage, which is simpler, easier to maintain, and less buggy | 08:21 |
| Kamion | johndomero: about the only awkwardness is that debconf interaction from inside the chroot (either using debconf directly, or installing packages which might use debconf) is a little tricky | 08:22 |
| Burgwork | madduck, when you want me to look at it again, just ping me | 08:22 |
| Kamion | johndomero: there's an 'in-target' program that you can use in place of 'chroot /target' which knows how to deal with that | 08:22 |
| madduck | tseng: very nice. thank you. | 08:22 |
| johndomero | Kamion: Where can I get the source for Ubuntu's Debian-Installer? I am working on a deployment scheme for a large university, and I am having to reference things a lot. | 08:23 |
| Kamion | note that it also does stuff like diverting away start-stop-daemon, which catches some people by surprise | 08:23 |
| johndomero | Kamion: How does this 'in-target' work? | 08:23 |

| allee | ahhh preseeding! My tonight TODO item ;) Some weeks before dapper I preseeded a dozend hosts successfully. Now with a new set of hosts, install hangs accessing the archives (hosts are in a priv. net. So I preseeded my apt-proxy cache) | 08:23 |
| doko | Kamion: are some mesa binaries in NEW? | 08:23 |
| Kamion | johndomero: the installer is made up of a lot of components, and we don't have a single revision control repository for them all (yet, I'm working on that) | 08:23 |
| Kamion | johndomero: for the time being, you need to find which component you're interested in, and 'apt-get source' that | 08:24 |
| johndomero | Kamion: I appreciate your help. It has been more useful than you probably realize. ;-) So little of this information is documented online. | 08:24 |
| Kamion | doko: not as far as I can see | 08:24 |

| madduck | Burgwork, tseng: it got a little long now (even before tseng reworked it), so I think I'll just stick with something like http://rafb.net/paste/results/eQ3D1t87.txt -- this is all in the introduction anyway, i'll dig deeper in the following chapters... | 08:25 |
| doko | Kamion: nice, didn't knew that | 08:25 |
| Kamion | doko: it is possible that Scott processed it recently - the queue is emptier than when I last checked | 08:25 |
| Kamion | doko: what version? | 08:26 |
| allee | johndomero: you happen to know how to turn off security archive via preseeding? | 08:26 |

| doko | Kamion: mesa-common-dev is needed in version 6.5.0.cvs.20060725-0ubuntu1 | 08:28 |
| Kamion | Burgwork: it's not my responsibility, so I don't know - go ahead I guess | 08:28 |
| Burgwork | can do | 08:28 |
| Kamion | doko: I think it got uploaded *just* after the publisher run before this one | 08:28 |
| Kamion | doko: and is currently being published | 08:28 |
| madduck | Burgwork: academic. this is a revised phd proposal. so probably noone except those unfortunate examiners. :) | 08:28 |
| doko | ahh, ok | 08:28 |
| Kamion | just after the previous run started, I mean | 08:28 |
| Burgwork | madduck, ah, ok. Then they can deal with the technical language | 08:29 |
| allee | Kamion: thx I thought I tried this. Maybe this then not the reason for by problem. I try it again | 08:29 |
| madduck | Burgwork: they'll refuse it if I talk plainly, even. been there, done that. | 08:29 |
| Burgwork | Kamion, that is part of soyuz, no? | 08:29 |
| doko | Kamion: I do have the impression that the processing of binaries is slower (compared to what we had for dapper), i.e. the time from upload to availability in the archive (without considering the build time) | 08:29 |
| Kamion | johndomero: yeah, documentation for people who are kind of half way in between users and developers is a tricky area that we're kind of weak on in the installer | 08:29 |
| Kamion | Burgwork: yes | 08:29 |
| Kamion | doko: it's not any slower compared to dapper, but it's slower compared to breezy | 08:30 |
| Kamion | doko: mesa/i386 managed to hit the worst case this time round, by bad luck | 08:30 |
| Kamion | doko: also, the buildds were stalled for a long time today due to DNS problems inside the DC | 08:30 |
| doko | Kamion: or I'm more impatient ;) | 08:30 |
| Kamion | but there's nothing systemic that I'm aware of to make binary processing generally slower than dapper | 08:30 |
| Kamion | allee: depends where it hangs - you might need to preseed mirror/* too | 08:31 |
| === allee better preseed a PC, server reboot take too long | ||
| johndomero | Kamion: in-target will take all of $* and pass it through to the safe chroot? | 08:31 |
| Kamion | madduck: is it worth mentioning the distinction between "core developers" and "developers" at that point, or is that too much detail? | 08:32 |
| Kamion | madduck: (core developers => unrestricted upload, developers => universe and multiverse components only) | 08:32 |
| madduck | Kamion: probably too much detail. I am really only (ab)using Ubuntu as an extreme here. | 08:32 |

| johndomero | Kamion: Where does one get the sources for the various udebs? Does this come debian-installer-utils? | 08:37 |
| Kamion | johndomero: no, debian-installer-utils builds some udebs but not all of them | 08:38 |
| Kamion | johndomero: unfortunately you sort of have to know the component name; doing 'find /cdrom/pool -name \*.udeb' on an Ubuntu CD and looking at the last directory name in each line of output can help | 08:39 |
| Kamion | (the last directory name is the name of the source package) | 08:39 |

| Kamion | udebs are like debs in most respects - they just don't follow Debian policy | 08:40 |
| Kamion | but they're still built from source packages in more or less the usual way | 08:40 |
| Kamion | it's not quite one-to-one from source packages to udebs, but most installer source packages build a handful of udebs at most, often only one | 08:41 |

| mjg59 | Obtaining information about available hardware from userspace | 09:34 |

| ogra | Keybuk, pingediping about a udev question ... | 09:36 |
| Keybuk | ogra: sure | 09:36 |
| mjg59 | People want their software to work on mor ethan Linux | 09:36 |
| mjg59 | Solaris has a not insignificant number of desktop users | 09:36 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: the most useful things that HAL could do, it doesn't ... it provides no write access to hardware, for exmaple | 09:36 |
| ogra | if you create the hdX devices on boot, you probe the disks for partitions or hw do you do that ? | 09:36 |
| ogra | *how | 09:36 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Increasingly, it does | 09:36 |
| Keybuk | ogra: umm, could you be a bit more verbose? | 09:36 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: it'd also be vaguely useful for HAL to hold information about devices that have been previously connected, but are not currently | 09:37 |
| ogra | Keybuk, the question i'm really after is, would it be possible to have udev tell me that there is a swap partition on a device | 09:37 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: That's trivially layered on top of hal | 09:37 |
| ogra | and which device node that would be ... | 09:37 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: don't get me wrong ... I don't dislike HAL, or think it has no value ... I just think that it could be SO MUCH BETTER | 09:37 |
| Keybuk | ogra: yes | 09:37 |
| Keybuk | ogra: now, pitch your question better :p | 09:37 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: That's hardly the same thing as being a solution in search of a problem | 09:38 |
| Keybuk | do you mean "have udev automatically call swapon for any swap device" ? | 09:38 |
| mjg59 | The problem that it deals with is clearly defined | 09:38 |
| vagrantc | Keybuk: we're looking to enable swap partitions on local drives for ltsp | 09:38 |
| mjg59 | You may disagree with /how/ it attempts to solve that, but that's a separate objection | 09:38 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: yes, perhaps I was a little harsh there | 09:38 |
| ogra | Keybuk, we have code for local swap support in ltsp ... but that relies on probing all disks and all artitions ... which slows down boot significantly | 09:38 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: I apologise | 09:38 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: No problem :) | 09:38 |
| ogra | my idea was to leave that to udev as its faser | 09:38 |
| Keybuk | ogra: right ... so, if you can say "here's a swap device on boot", what do you need to do | 09:39 |
| ogra | so we can autodetect if there is a swap partition and get rid of a config option | 09:39 |
| ogra | swapon indeed ;) | 09:39 |
| vagrantc | and mkswap | 09:39 |
| ogra | yeah probably too | 09:39 |
| Keybuk | SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="swap", RUN+="/sbin/swapon %k" | 09:39 |
| ogra | yay, thanks ! | 09:40 |
| vagrantc | what versions of udev will that work with? | 09:40 |
| Keybuk | vagrantc: Ubuntu dapper and edgy | 09:40 |
| ogra | oh, right, that might be a prob for debian | 09:40 |
| vagrantc | right | 09:40 |

| Keybuk | oh, it's almost certainly possible, just with some pain | 09:43 |
| ogra | since we want to be distro independent with the future code of ltsp | 09:43 |

| Keybuk | *shrug* I don't agree that's possible | 09:44 |
