| Kamion | mjg59: from C? | 12:20 |
| mjg59 | Kamion: Yeah | 12:21 |
| mjg59 | Kamion: I want to put x and y values for usplash resolution in initramfs | 12:21 |
| Kamion | mjg59: avoid foo=bar, people will think it's shell syntax (see pam_env) | 12:21 |
| mjg59 | Indeed | 12:21 |
| Kamion | mjg59: I'd go for 'xresolution FOO\nyresolution BAR\n' personally | 12:21 |
| mjg59 | Ok | 12:21 |
| Kamion | and # at start of lines to introduce comments | 12:22 |
| mjg59 | This isn't going to be doable in four lines, is it? | 12:22 |
| Kamion | probably not | 12:22 |
| Kamion | should be doable in a couple of dozen though | 12:22 |
| mjg59 | The alternative would be to use read to grab the values and then pass them to usplash on the command line | 12:22 |
| Kamion | if you're doing that in shell, you could | 12:23 |
| Kamion | just use a sourced file | 12:23 |
| Kamion | (ignore spurious newline there) | 12:23 |
| mjg59 | Oh, true | 12:23 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, I'll do that | 12:23 |
| mjg59 | So | 12:24 |
| mjg59 | I want to populate the config file with information from the X autoconfiguration stuff | 12:24 |
| mjg59 | Which ought to be in debconf | 12:24 |
| Kamion | please don't read debconf for that - reading xorg.conf is preferable | 12:24 |
| Kamion | I know it's a bit harder, but | 12:24 |
| mjg59 | Seriously? | 12:24 |
| mjg59 | Ouch | 12:24 |
| Kamion | the information in debconf isn't canonical - people are entitled to modify xorg.conf by hand | 12:25 |
| mjg59 | Actually, I don't believe that it's possible to do that | 12:26 |
| mjg59 | The default resolution in xorg.conf might be outside the limits of the hardware | 12:26 |
| mjg59 | That is, after user modification | 12:26 |
| Kamion | won't X break too then? | 12:26 |
| mjg59 | But it should be in limits at the point where X is autoconfigured | 12:26 |
| mjg59 | No | 12:26 |
| mjg59 | X will drop modes it doesn't think it can display and fall back | 12:27 |
| Kamion | what will X do? | 12:27 |
| Kamion | can usplash do the same? | 12:27 |
| mjg59 | No | 12:27 |
| Kamion | X's autoconfiguration does get it annoyingly wrong sometimes | 12:27 |
| Kamion | also, usplash needs to not fuck up if the debconf database disappears | 12:27 |
| mjg59 | Ngh. | 12:27 |
| Kamion | or if the debconf db is on /var which isn't mounted yet, for example | 12:27 |
| mjg59 | Yes. | 12:27 |
| mjg59 | I was planning on using the debconf data to write the default config file | 12:28 |
| Kamion | I suppose you could fetch it from debconf iff you did it in usplash.postinst | 12:28 |
| Kamion | yeah | 12:28 |
| mjg59 | Which would then be user modifiable | 12:28 |
| Kamion | that would be less bad, provided you had a fallback in case X isn't tere | 12:28 |
| Kamion | there | 12:28 |
| Kamion | or in case those debconf questions have disappeared | 12:28 |
| Kamion | usplash can be installed without X, so ... | 12:28 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 12:29 |
| mjg59 | In that case, just fall back to 640x480 | 12:29 |

| Kamion | oh, no | 12:37 |
| Kamion | sorry, more like 4GB | 12:38 |
| Kamion | unpacked ISO size plus packed ISO size | 12:38 |
| Kamion | I can't easily give mirror figures for just one release | 12:38 |
| icecrash | 150gb is the size that the mirrors print out as ubuntu repos size | 12:39 |

| BenC | it boots even if I connect a serial console | 04:09 |
| desrt | BenC; do you know of any other bugs in the kernel where it can't properly calculate the number of bogomips? i'm sort of stuck on where to go next on this bug i'm hunting | 04:11 |
| BenC | do you really need bogomips to me accurate, considering it's not really accurate by nature? | 04:11 |
| BenC | s/to me/to be/ | 04:11 |
| desrt | yes | 04:11 |
| desrt | bogomips is used to calibrate delay loops | 04:11 |
| desrt | which are used by usleep() msleep() etc | 04:12 |
| BenC | bogomips changes whether you run 2.2, 2.4 or 2.6 kernels and even sometimes changes in between | 04:12 |
| desrt | and at bootup the kernel does a test to make sure the timer IRQ is working | 04:12 |
| desrt | it msleep()s for a bit and makes sure the right number of timer IRQs were delivered | 04:12 |
| desrt | if your bogomips count is wrong then the kernel panics because it assumes your timer hardware is borked | 04:12 |
| BenC | what does that have to do with bogomips though? | 04:12 |
| desrt | it does something like this: | 04:12 |
| === caleb- [n=caleb@220.229.33.205] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] | ||
| BenC | haven't heard anything regarding that | 04:13 |
| desrt | c = jiffies; | 04:13 |
| desrt | msleep(a while); | 04:13 |
| desrt | c = c - jiffies; | 04:13 |

| desrt | and if the wrong number comes in it assumes the timer IRQ is miswired | 04:25 |
| mjg59 | Right | 04:25 |
| desrt | of course, if the delay loop is miscalibrated this will also cause the wrong number | 04:25 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 04:25 |
| mjg59 | I think this is an lkml job | 04:26 |
| BenC | desrt: by manual I mean the part in calibrate_delay(), the last if | 04:26 |
| mjg59 | desrt: I wonder why other people don't seem to be getting bitten by this... | 04:27 |
| BenC | desrt: if you hardcode the calibrate_delay_loop() bit to be skipped, and let it fall through, does it work? | 04:27 |
| mjg59 | desrt: It's always possible that your hardware is fucked in some bizarre subtle way | 04:27 |
| desrt | mjg59; some #gnome-hackers guy is | 04:27 |
| BenC | that's what I was thinking | 04:27 |
| desrt | mjg59; a fellow macbook owner | 04:27 |
| mjg59 | Oh, fun | 04:27 |
| BenC | macbook | 04:27 |
| mjg59 | Ok | 04:27 |
| desrt | mjg59; in fact, he gets bitten by it more frequently than i do | 04:27 |
| BenC | that's what I was thinking | 04:27 |
| mjg59 | Maybe a run of bad ones :p | 04:27 |
| BenC | desrt: is this dapper or edgy? | 04:27 |
| desrt | both | 04:28 |
| mjg59 | desrt: Have you tried booting with different timer= values? | 04:28 |
| desrt | no... | 04:28 |
| desrt | like, instead of HPET? | 04:28 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 04:28 |
| mjg59 | Try tsc or pmtimer | 04:28 |
| desrt | i never understood why tsc wasn't used more often.... | 04:28 |
| BenC | desrt: test one of these: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bcollins/kernels/mvo-dazuko/ | 04:28 |
| mjg59 | There's something weird about HPET and Linux in the DSDT | 04:28 |

| BenC | mjg59: it was cherry picked from upstream | 04:33 |

| desrt | gotcha. | 04:37 |
| desrt | fwiw, fbcon prevents sleep from working properly here | 04:37 |

| mjg59 | Just any framebuffer at all? | 04:37 |

| mjg59 | Oh | 04:38 |
| mjg59 | We don't use that by default, right? | 04:38 |
| desrt | oh. btw | 04:38 |
| desrt | vbestate and acpid are still inverted in rc2.d | 04:38 |
| desrt | plz fix | 04:38 |
| mjg59 | Oh, bleah, yes. | 04:38 |
| mjg59 | It's only a problem because laptop-detect doesn't work for you | 04:38 |
| desrt | BenC; no love | 04:39 |
| desrt | BenC; booted fine a couple of times and then on the 3rd try failed | 04:39 |
| BenC | desrt: was the bogo's the same each time? | 04:39 |
| BenC | desrt: how far off is the value it's giving you? | 04:39 |
| desrt | BenC; uhm... | 04:39 |
| desrt | 4519.06 is the sum | 04:39 |
| BenC | what are you passing? | 04:40 |
| desrt | and CPU1 is always detected correctly at 3994.7 | 04:40 |
| desrt | so it just detected 524 bogomips | 04:40 |
| mjg59 | desrt: Can you give the other timer options a go? | 04:40 |
| desrt | mjg59; sure will | 04:40 |
| mjg59 | Rock | 04:40 |
| BenC | yeah, sounds like it's just not using the right timer source or something | 04:40 |
| desrt | i have decided that edgy will run perfectly on the macbook | 04:41 |
| BenC | desrt: so when it boots ok, is the bogo's right, or it just happens not to affect it? | 04:42 |
| desrt | BenFrom a successful boot: | 04:42 |
| desrt | [17179570.588000] Total of 2 processors activated (6485.23 BogoMIPS). | 04:42 |
| desrt | this should be more like 7[something] | 04:43 |
| desrt | so no... they're not perfect | 04:43 |
| desrt | just close enough that it's not enough to cause the timer-irq code to break | 04:43 |
| BenC | desrt: it's odd that the bogo's are different from boot-to-boot on the same kernel | 04:43 |
| desrt | BenC; it's because of the "calibrate_delay_direct() failed to get a good estimate for loops_per_jiffy. Probably due to long platform interrupts." | 04:43 |
| desrt | the kernel knows that it got a bad bogomips count | 04:44 |
| BenC | ah, so it falls through to the crappy estimate code | 04:44 |
| desrt | i guess? | 04:44 |
| === desrt isn't very familiar with the exact technique used | ||
| BenC | you're the one with the printk's :) | 04:44 |
| desrt | i didn't printk that part :) | 04:45 |
| BenC | for shame :) | 04:45 |
| desrt | lemme try mjg59's ideas | 04:45 |
| desrt | you know that bit about "seeing if WP bit is honoured in supervisor mode" | 04:46 |
| desrt | the HPET stuff comes just after that | 04:46 |
| desrt | and sometimes (seems unrelated to if bogomips is accurate or not, actually) it pauses for a _very_ long time there | 04:47 |
| desrt | like 5-10 seconds | 04:47 |
| desrt | eep. using tsc is no help. | 04:48 |

| bluefoxicy | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuietenGrub disturbs me; the idea behind it seems to be, "The user may be curious about a message that appears for all of 1 second and means nothing just as the computer turns on; so we should hide this" | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | the machine displays a lot of words and numbers when it's first turned on; worrying that the user may get confused by the few Grub and the Linux kernel spit out seems silly. | 04:57 |
| BenC | bluefoxicy: it's about a polished look | 04:57 |
| bluefoxicy | The only way the user is going to get confused is if they suddenly decide that they care what's going on, even though it's blatantly obvious that it's of no concern to them. | 04:57 |
| BenC | for the same reason we default the kernel to "quiet" | 04:58 |
| desrt | the grub quiet stuff is _really_ dumb | 04:58 |

| desrt | it replaces "Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel." with "Booting the operating system now." | 04:58 |
| zul | uh...it does more than that | 04:58 |
| desrt | and it hardcodes that "Booting" message into grub | 04:58 |
| desrt | (can't be turned off) | 04:59 |
| bluefoxicy | the user is either going to go "OK words are appearing on the screen it's loading" or go get a can of soda | 04:59 |
| desrt | if you want to get rid of messages then get rid of them... by all means | 04:59 |
| bluefoxicy | I don't see an actual problem, aside from the user getting nervous that the screen is blank for 5 seconds and thinking "huh the system just sits doing nothing for 5 seconds, I wonder why they never fixed that" (since during that time the hard drive is accessed all of twice) | 05:00 |

| bluefoxicy | desrt: this is true; but it's not evil of the creator of said software to do that | 06:21 |

| desrt | sid; i know. i don't care. | 06:22 |
| sid | It's a act that makes it illegal to circumvent copyright protections schemes. ie DRM | 06:22 |
| Burgundavia | sid: thanks for your inquiry as to the gnu/linux vs linux debate. If you want to talk about the DMCA, please take it elsewhere | 06:23 |
| bluefoxicy | on closer examination, I simply don't have the "albany" font and OOo is substituting arial | 06:24 |
| === desrt never understood the problem with wildly off-topic discussions in an otherwise completely dead channel | ||

| bluefoxicy | desrt: in non-dev channels, yes, it's completely retarded :) | 06:25 |
| bluefoxicy | at any rate why don't I have Albany and how do I rectify; and more importantly, should fonts that OOo expects to have around be installed by default? | 06:26 |

| bluefoxicy | pitti: do you have a place for automated problem reports to go? | 06:58 |
| desrt | found the problem | 06:58 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: right now, it's a manual user decision/task to create a bug and attach the report | 06:58 |
| desrt | if you feed whiptail a string starting with a negative number then that number gets cast to unsigned | 06:58 |
| desrt | and becomes very very very large | 06:58 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: If you want to let the user set it to automatically send reports, you should probably com up with a separate back-end instead of creating a Launchpad bug | 06:59 |
| === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | pitti: I would suspect that such a thing would create a MASSIVE influx of bug reports (and duplicates-- every time something breaks), and it would be bad to dilute the bug tracker that way. | 06:59 |
| pitti | bluefoxicy: right, we need a separate db for automatic reports | 07:00 |

| Hobbsee | pitti: hmmm...okay | 07:01 |
| bluefoxicy | pitti: Yes; I'd think a new Launchpad module would be best, which would indeed be a lot of work and not ready by Edgy. I have some ides for that, which I've been working on for a while; I'm currently writing up a slide show presentation on that. | 07:01 |

| bluefoxicy | desrt: if you just fixed a security hole make sure it gets back to upstream. | 07:21 |
| desrt | bluefoxicy; this isn't a security problem | 07:22 |
| desrt | just a plain old crashes | 07:22 |
| desrt | *crasher | 07:22 |
| Hobbsee | desrt: no. according to my apt-cache, it isnt in ubuntu at all yet | 07:22 |
| desrt | Hobbsee; newt is the source package name | 07:23 |
| desrt | binary packages include libnewt0.52 and whiptail | 07:23 |
| Hobbsee | desrt: ahh. i thought apt-cache search found source packages too, for some reason. | 07:23 |
| bluefoxicy | desrt: What triggered the overflow; how far did it overflow; and where did the data come from? | 07:23 |
| desrt | ya. so did i. i just found out that that's not true :) | 07:23 |
| Hobbsee | i think my brain is being dulled by vaguelly listening to the current prac in here. | 07:23 |
| desrt | bluefoxicy; you pass an int to a function. it then puts that many (constant) characters into a fixed-size buffer | 07:24 |
| desrt | bluefoxicy; that int can be very very large in some cases | 07:24 |
| bluefoxicy | desrt: hole was in libnewt; could any programs using libnewt possibly pass a string they got from a file or such? i.e. in theory could someone trick a user into loading a file that would write some data from it into that buffer and go off the edge | 07:25 |
| desrt | the problem only happens when you ask a gauge to draw a negative percentage | 07:26 |
| desrt | if someone is calling that function they ought to verify that the value they pass it is sane | 07:26 |
| desrt | even still, i fixed the crash in two places to be extra safe | 07:26 |
| bluefoxicy | mm. | 07:26 |
| bluefoxicy | whatever. :p | 07:27 |
| bluefoxicy | I don't feel like arguing theory and gorey non-existent details. It's fixed, it's fixed. | 07:28 |

| ogra | Keybuk, th ethin client mounts proc | 09:03 |
| Keybuk | yes, but package postinsts are entirely permitted to need /proc, because they expect a POSIX system | 09:04 |
| ogra | but if i upgrade the client chroot there is no proc .... | 09:04 |
| Keybuk | then that's a bug, you need to mount /proc while you upgrade the client chroot | 09:04 |
| ogra | hmm ... then i need a wrapper :/ | 09:04 |
| Keybuk | /proc/$PID (and thus /dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd) is used in a few places | 09:04 |

Default installation is /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/immodules/, but debian packages used to change to /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/. So every GTK immodule package will need a new *.diff.gz for the 2.4.0 -> 2.10.0 transition. | 09:28 |

| === pitti releases | ||
| pitti | Kamion: what do you think about cups 1.2.2? something for the CD, or rather not? (it's in the dapper queue, mdz approved the upload) | 09:34 |
| Kamion | printing has been a major bugbear with dapper.0; if this stands a chance of fixing several high-profile issues then I'm all for it | 09:35 |
| pitti | yes, it does | 09:36 |
| Kamion | need to make sure it's tested before release though | 09:36 |
| caleb- | seb128: They will work well in edgy, but will fail when backporting to dapper. | 09:36 |

| pitti | Kamion: (well, of course I tested it in dapper, too, but only me) | 09:36 |
| seb128 | caleb-: those are edgy uploads, so everything is fine | 09:41 |
| === cypher1 [n=cypher@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| pitti | Kamion: dapper live seed updated | 09:43 |
| pitti | Kamion: with a potentially new OOo it'll be a moving target anyway | 09:44 |
| ogra | you change the daper seeds ???? | 09:44 |
| ogra | *dapper | 09:44 |
| pitti | ogra: removed langpacks to fix overflow | 09:44 |
| caleb- | seb128: OK, I wll discuss with backport-team. Thank you. :-) | 09:44 |
| ogra | you know that could make edubuntu explode ? | 09:44 |

| ogra | the install CD only has en | 09:45 |
| ogra | if that grew we're screwed | 09:45 |
| pitti | ogra: ubuntu installs are okay | 09:45 |
| pitti | ogra: they didn't seem to have grown significantly | 09:45 |
| ogra | i'm talking abour edubuntu with 699MB | 09:45 |
| ogra | *about | 09:45 |
| Kamion | ogra: stop panicking, Edubuntu dapper still has different seeds from Ubuntu dapper | 09:46 |
| === cypher1 [n=cypher@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | pitti changing Ubuntu dapper seeds (which is FINE, stop PANICKING :-)) doesn't affect Edubuntu | 09:46 |
| ogra | Kamion, but the same package contents ... | 09:46 |
| Kamion | yes, Edubuntu dapper may have to be changed somehow | 09:46 |
| ogra | if the packages grew it will explode | 09:46 |
| Kamion | it had very few language packs though | 09:46 |
| ogra | exactly | 09:46 |
| Kamion | and it's mostly language packs that have grown | 09:46 |
| Kamion | ogra: welcome to life | 09:47 |
| pitti | Kamion: you have both gnome and KDE -en, right? | 09:47 |
| Hobbsee | Kamion: if you're dealing with removing packages from the archive/cds/whatever, feel free to remove kdelibs-bin and amarok-arts from the repositories. | 09:47 |

| Hobbsee | Kamion: right. one bug for two packages, or one bug for each package? | 09:47 |
| ogra | pitti, might aready be to much ... i'll ave to check | 09:48 |
| Kamion | pitti: edubuntu? yes | 09:48 |
| Kamion | pitti: only en on alternate, but loads on desktop | 09:48 |
| pitti | Kamion: sorry, that question should have gone to ogra | 09:48 |
| Kamion | edubuntu desktop will be dead easy to shrink | 09:48 |
| ogra | yes ... | 09:49 |
| ogra | but install will get tricky | 09:49 |
| ogra | i wouldnt want to drop any app in a pointrelease | 09:49 |
| Kamion | it seems to me that language-pack-kde-en could be removed without much badness | 09:49 |
| ogra | contents shouldnt differ etc ... | 09:49 |
| Kamion | it's not affecting the desktop, only a few apps; we're probably carrying a lot of KDE desktop translations in there that aren't used in Edubuntu | 09:50 |
| ogra | i'm not sure kdeedu will like that | 09:50 |
| pitti | ^ this would buy you 3 MB | 09:50 |
| Kamion | it's -en for goodness' sake! | 09:50 |
| Kamion | surely it will just fall back to C and all will be well ... | 09:50 |
| ogra | we can try ... | 09:50 |
| Riddell | it will yes | 09:50 |
| === cypher1 [n=cypher@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| === pitti wonders why the -en packs are so big in the first place | ||
| Kamion | and even if a few translations are a bit wonky, that seems ok if it's just kdeedu | 09:51 |
| Kamion | pitti: freaks translating to en_EVERYTHING I guess :-/ | 09:51 |
| pitti | C -> en_US translation should be 95% identical, and those few en_GB strings shouln't be so big... | 09:51 |
| Kamion | losing en_GB from kdeedu on edubuntu is not a big deal | 09:51 |
| jdub | pitti: en_ZA is pretty big, with all that "off" -> "orf" and so on. | 09:52 |
| Kamion | mvo: how does language-selector decide which sets of language packs to install? | 09:52 |
| pitti | jdub: right, and 'Welcome' -> 'Yo dude!' | 09:52 |

| === Nafallo [n=nafallo@ubuntu/member/nafallo] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | mvo: so if language-pack-kde-en isn't installed on Edubuntu any more, then it won't know to install any language-pack-kde-*? | 09:55 |
| nags | G0SUB, as part of Google SoC - Prashanth Mohan has done these two work...Evolution calendar automation - http://people.freedesktop.org/~prashmohan/evolution-calendar-low.avi and http://people.freedesktop.org/~prashmohan/jhbuild-screencast-low.avi - Jhbuild / Tinderbox - LDTP integration | 09:55 |
| pitti | mvo: it should detect that it's missing and offer to complete language support, right? | 09:56 |
| Kamion | pitti: wouldn't want to offer to install language-pack-kde-* on Ubuntu | 09:56 |
| Kamion | or -gnome-* on Kubuntu | 09:56 |
| pitti | well, if you have the 'other' apps installed, it will AFAIK | 09:56 |
| mvo | Kamion: it will detect missing langpacks by checking if key-dependencies are installed and offer to install them | 09:56 |
| Riddell | presumably it test for kdelibs/some gnome lib being installed, mvo? | 09:57 |
| Kamion | mvo: aha, I should go look at the source then | 09:57 |
| mvo | Riddell: yes | 09:57 |
| ogra | then its fine | 09:57 |
| mvo | Kamion: it stopped working for you? | 09:57 |
| Kamion | mvo: no, just checking that the change discussed above won't make language-selector go wonky | 09:57 |
| ogra | mvo, no, but i'll likely hve to drop the kde-en packs from edubuntu | 09:57 |
| mvo | ogra: that should be fine, on the next start of language-selector it should come up with a dialog offering to install them | 09:58 |
| ogra | (in the dapper pointrelease) | 09:58 |
| mvo | we did that with firefox locales too | 09:58 |
| ogra | fine :) | 09:58 |
| mvo | but obviously it should be tested :) | 09:58 |
| mvo | but I'm pretty confident | 09:58 |
| Kamion | mvo: apart from the minor detail that kdelibs4c2 does not exist in dapper | 09:58 |
| Kamion | which appears to be your key package for language-pack-kde-* | 09:58 |
| mvo | *gar* | 09:58 |
| Hobbsee | Kamion: use kdelibs4c2a instead | 09:58 |
| === mvo prepares a updtaed upload | ||
| Kamion | can we use a binary package whose name won't change as often? | 09:59 |
| Kamion | kdelibs-bin? | 09:59 |
| ogra | cant we put a wildcard in ? | 09:59 |
| ogra | kdelibs* | 09:59 |
| Kamion | oh, no, not kdelibs-bin | 09:59 |
| Hobbsee | Kamion: kdelibs-bin is going to die. | 09:59 |
| Kamion | ogra: smallest change possible for -updates, can be fixed better for edgy | 10:00 |
| Hobbsee | Kamion: dont depend anything on it, or i'll have to change it again. | 10:00 |
| ogra | yep | 10:00 |
| pitti | kdelibs-data ? | 10:00 |
| Kamion | kdelibs-data looks good | 10:00 |
| Hobbsee | oh, wait, not sure on dapper. | 10:00 |
| pitti | ^ dependency of kdelibs4c* | 10:00 |
| mvo | pitti: sounds good | 10:00 |
| Kamion | Hobbsee: yeah, was just reading the package list a bit too quickly | 10:00 |
| pitti | Hobbsee: in dapper, too | 10:00 |
| Hobbsee | pitti: my statement was more i wasnt sure if we were killing off kdelibs-bin in dapper too - we certainly did in edgy. | 10:01 |
| Kamion | Hobbsee: we're not killing off any packages in dapper | 10:01 |
| Kamion | short of being sued | 10:01 |
| Hobbsee | Kamion: heh | 10:01 |
| pitti | Hobbsee: ah, right; indeed in dapper kdelibs4c2a depens on -bin | 10:01 |
| pitti | but let's use -data for edgy/dapper consistency | 10:01 |
| Hobbsee | pitti: yeah. it's dying. lovely circular dependancy. i just havent filed a bug report getting it out of the archive yet :P | 10:02 |
| mvo | Kamion: I will do a upload with that fix to dapper-updates now | 10:03 |
| Hobbsee | pitti: the circular dependancy is still in dapper. guess we'd better keep it in then | 10:04 |
| Kamion | mvo: while you're at it, in edgy s/libgnome2-0/libgnome2-common/g would be good too, for similar reasons | 10:04 |
| Kamion | don't need to change that in dapper though | 10:05 |

| pitti | RicardoPerez: Rosetta does the msgmerge between .po data and pot files | 11:16 |
| RicardoPerez | pitti: mmmm, better said, the langpack generation isn't use the latest Rosetta's templates | 11:16 |
| RicardoPerez | pitti: for example, the gnome-panel-2.0 template is empty in Rosetta, but has full of translated strings in the .mo file installed in my system | 11:17 |
| pitti | RicardoPerez: but you are sure you looked at dapper's templates, not at edgy's? | 11:17 |

| doko | Kamion: OOo ping | 11:45 |
| Kamion | doko: hi | 11:45 |
| Kamion | doko: have you got much in the way of test reports from your dapper-proposed binaries? | 11:46 |
| doko | Kamion: no feedback yet | 11:46 |
| Kamion | that's awkward | 11:46 |
| Kamion | how about I build alternate install CDs with -proposed for a bit? | 11:46 |
| Kamion | can't fudge desktop CDs so easily, but that would get us some testing at least | 11:46 |
| doko | Kamion: that would be very nice | 11:47 |
| doko | is there a way to determine the delta in size for the new CD's? before building them? | 11:47 |
| Kamion | there is, but it's probably less effort just to build the alternate install CD and find out | 11:49 |
| Kamion | which I'm doing now | 11:49 |
| Kamion | I mean you can sum all the Size fields by hand and do arithmetic | 11:50 |
| doko | hmm, ok, I'll wait :) | 11:50 |
| Kamion | in fact, not necessarily too evil to do in shell ... | 11:51 |
| pitti | doko: I have such a script for the language packs, should be trivial to adapt for other packages | 11:51 |
| doko | ohh, nice, please email | 11:51 |
| pitti | doko: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/bzr/langpack-o-matic/langpacksize | 11:52 |
| Kamion | well, the difference in the total size of all the packages in dapper-proposed versus their corresponding packages in dapper-updates/dapper is < 2MB | 11:55 |
| Kamion | we'll see in a moment what that maps to in terms of CD size | 11:56 |
| doko | which is acceptable? | 11:56 |
| Kamion | we'll see ... | 11:56 |
| Kamion | depends where the bulk of the size increase is, really | 11:56 |
| Kamion | 2MB would be a bit much | 11:56 |
| Kamion | (for edubuntu) | 11:56 |
| doko | pitti: well, I'd need to compare the latest of dapper{,-security,-updates} with -proposed | 11:56 |
| pitti | doko: you can specify a Packages.gz file | 11:57 |
| pitti | doko: still, the script is very langpack specific | 11:57 |
| doko | pitti: yes, but OOo is in -security, ia32-* are in -security and -updates, so I have to know where to look. | 11:58 |
| doko | not everything is as easy as language packs ;-) | 11:58 |
| Kamion | oh, meh, I was running the wrong image build | 11:58 |

| heno | doko: there were some reports of serious accessibility problems with the OOo in edgy: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-accessibility/2006-July/000667.html but that could be a more general Gnome problem. We are trying to work that out | 12:32 |
| ogra | the last two releases this worked with just apt-get | 12:32 |
| doko | heno: I didn't look at accessability problems yet. is this i386? | 12:34 |
| heno | doko: yes | 12:35 |
| heno | and bleeding edge edgy | 12:35 |
| heno | OOo in dapper seems less bad (though I personally get crashes when AT-SPI is on) | 12:36 |
| doko | heno: dapper, or dapper + dapper-proposed? | 12:36 |
| Kamion | doko: preliminary figures suggest that amd64 shrinks by 1.7MB, i386 grows by 250KB, and powerpc grows by 1.9MB on adding dapper-proposed | 12:37 |
| heno | doko: haven't tested -proposed | 12:37 |

| === Burgwork [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| heno | doko: was the 2.0.2 that was in Edgy until recently the same as that in dapper or did it have lots of patches from 2.0.3? | 12:41 |
| doko | heno: we had no 2.0.2 uploads in edgy | 12:42 |
| heno | doko: I could have sworn the 'About OOo' screen said 2.0.2 a few days ago, but I could be wrong :) | 12:43 |
| ogra | mjg59, ok, then cant do anything ... | 12:43 |
| Kamion | heno: dapper package carried over | 12:43 |
| mjg59 | ogra: Mm? | 12:43 |
| heno | Kamion: right, that's what I figured | 12:44 |
| ogra | mjg59, if its needed by the postinst i cant do anything against it ... i just wondered why ... i'd expect the fd to be used at runtime but not at installation time | 12:44 |
| mjg59 | ogra: The postinst uses subshells | 12:44 |
| ogra | ah, k | 12:45 |
| mjg59 | Ok | 12:46 |
| heno | So that points to some AT-SPI problems in Gnome 2.15 because that dapper OOo packages works fine on dapper, while both the old and new fail on edgy | 12:47 |
| Kamion | pitti: ok, turns out the alternate install CDs are rather oversized too. I'm turning off debian-cd's own oversizing protection in order that we can easily se by how much | 12:48 |
| Kamion | see | 12:48 |
| doko | heno: did you check 2.0.3 from dapper-proposed as well? | 12:48 |
| pitti | Kamion: the report doesn't help for that? (CD 2 will only be filled with n bytes) | 12:48 |
| Kamion | pitti: it does, but it's tedious | 12:49 |
| heno | doko: no, do I just add -proposed to the sources list? are there any instruction on-line? | 12:49 |
| Kamion | much easier to see the results from a single number in one place | 12:49 |
| pitti | right | 12:49 |
| heno | sorry, I've been away ... | 12:49 |

| === fsmw [n=Fernando@200.113.154.144] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Hobbsee | mjg59: ah. right. X seems to start much more slowly, and it's at a slower resolution (680x400 or whatever the standard one is) instead of 800x600/1024x768/whatever mine usually is | 03:13 |
| mjg59 | That's nothing to do with usplash | 03:14 |
| mjg59 | So not sure what's going on there | 03:14 |
| Hobbsee | mjg59: sorry - the usplash is at the lesser resolution | 03:14 |
| mjg59 | I don't really understand | 03:14 |
| Hobbsee | my bad. i was unclear. | 03:14 |
| mjg59 | usplash has never usually been at anything other than 640x400 in dapper | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | Do you have a /etc/usplash.conf ? | 03:15 |
| Hobbsee | # Usplash configuration file | 03:15 |
| Hobbsee | xres=1024 | 03:15 |
| Hobbsee | yres=768 | 03:15 |
| Hobbsee | mjg59: yes. ^ | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | Ok | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | And you've rebooted since that was written? | 03:16 |
| Hobbsee | i've rebooted since i got the last update for usplash, so yes. | 03:16 |
| mjg59 | Assuming your initramfs was regenerated, it's impossible for usplash to run at any resolution other than 1024x768 in that case | 03:16 |
| mjg59 | The picture will still be 640x400, but it'll be centred in the screen | 03:17 |
| Hobbsee | mjg59: that's true. | 03:17 |
| mjg59 | ? | 03:18 |
| gnomefreak | yep here too | 03:18 |

| mjg59 | So it works? | 03:19 |
| Hobbsee | well, yes. but it's gotten a lot smaller! | 03:19 |

| mdz | Kamion: I don't think it's necessary | 03:45 |
| doko | Kamion: there seems to be much more (i.e. if we move the default icon themes for -gome and -kde) out of -common into some -common-kde and -common-gnome packages, but I would like to delay that, seems to have some impact | 03:45 |
| Kamion | doko: sounds like something to do for edgy | 03:46 |

| Riddell | el: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/kubuntu-system-settings-usability/+people | 03:55 |

| QuestionMarkCoun | Kamion: ok... but somehow, I have to find out, what is important and what is not ;) | 03:56 |
| Kamion | doko: not sure, I can ask the Soyuz team | 03:57 |
| Riddell | el: thanks, I'll let you know when I have some pacakges of simon's changes | 03:57 |
| Kamion | QuestionMarkCoun: comparing against our logs can be good for that | 03:57 |
| el | Riddell, great, thanks | 03:57 |
| doko | Kamion: that way, we could easily fall back to the packages from -security / -updates | 03:57 |
| Kamion | doko: actually, I know the answer - if we want to copy prebuilt binaries over, we need manual SQL munging at present | 03:57 |
| Kamion | ? | 03:57 |
| Kamion | ok, step back, what do you mean by "mapped"? | 03:58 |
| doko | Kamion: add the packages to -updates without uploading again? (or building the CD's from -proposed, if OOo is the only thing uploaded there) | 03:59 |
| mjg59 | sabdfl: Hi | 03:59 |
| Kamion | doko: adding the packages to -updates is irreversible - once we do that, we can't/won't "easily fall back to the [old] packages" | 03:59 |
| Kamion | doko: we can build from -proposed though | 03:59 |
| Kamion | doko: the plan is to create a dapper.0 suite which is a copy of dapper, and then sync all sources/binaries from dapper-{security,updates,proposed?} into it | 04:00 |
| Kamion | doko: I'd like to do that right at the end, though, as it needs malcc to sit down with ten pints of coke and a DB pickaxe | 04:00 |
| Kamion | infinity then wants to rebuild CDs and livefses from the new dapper just as a sanity-check | 04:01 |
| doko | -proposed currently just has the OOo related uploads. do what you think is less work for you. if users install 2.0.3, they can't go back that easily anyway. for me, it's not a big deal to upload to -proposed now and to -updates this weekend | 04:04 |
| Kamion | an upload this weekend cannot get into the point release, because as of Monday I'm on holiday for two weeks | 04:05 |
| Kamion | so I'd say just upload to -proposed now | 04:05 |
| Kamion | as you say, there's just OOo in there so it's easy enough to build from it | 04:06 |
| doko | ok | 04:07 |

| Kamion | QuestionMarkCoun: I suppose it could be that "Argument list too long" is a red herring and it | 05:13 |

| Kamion | s/on systems/behind firewalls/ | 05:30 |
| Kamion | if your firewall actually says "no" rather than "la la la I can't hear you", then apt will give up in a reasonable time rather than waiting ages to timeout | 05:30 |
| Kamion | I'm also not really sure that just checking the http_proxy environment variable (while useful) is something that most people affected by this would discover | 05:30 |

| Kaleo | actually what I would like is something like | 05:34 |
| Kaleo | do you want to use your internet connection or not | 05:34 |
| Kamion | hang on, doesn't apt honour http_proxy? | 05:34 |
| Kamion | yes, it does | 05:35 |
| Kamion | so I don't understand why your suggested change is necessary | 05:35 |
| Kaleo | give me a minute to remind me the circumstances | 05:35 |
| Kamion | if http_proxy is set in the environment, apt will prefer it over Acquire::http::Proxy anyway | 05:35 |
| Kaleo | because in my experience setting up the http_proxy variable did not solve the bug | 05:36 |
| Kaleo | I have now to remember why | 05:36 |
| === cymcy [n=cymcy@d213-103-82-25.cust.tele2.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | ok, sorry but I want to know why before installing workarounds | 05:36 |
| Kaleo | no problem | 05:37 |
| Kaleo | oh I think I remember | 05:37 |
| Kaleo | because of gksu | 05:37 |
| Kaleo | if I remember correctly ubiquity is launched by gksu | 05:37 |
| Kamion | gksu is outside apt-setup (the code you patched); if apt doesn't see http_proxy due to gksu, then apt-setup won't see it either | 05:38 |
| Kaleo | "This is thanks to the correction of bug #13661 where gksu has been given the ability to set $http_proxy according to System/Preferences/Proxies." | 05:38 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 13661 in synaptic "get proxy via gconf" [Medium,Fix released] http://launchpad.net/bugs/13661 | 05:38 |
| Kaleo | that's why it works | 05:38 |
| Kamion | but gksu -> ubiquity -> (apt-setup, apt_) | 05:39 |
| Kamion | anything in gksu will affect apt-setup and apt equally | 05:39 |
| Kamion | making apt-setup look at http_proxy should be pointless because apt already does it | 05:39 |

| Kaleo | from what I understand of my patch apt-setup was not honouring $http_proxy | 05:49 |
| Kamion | apt-setup doesn't need to | 05:51 |
| Kamion | it doesn't download anything itself - it calls out to things that do honour http_proxy | 05:51 |
| Kaleo | well | 05:51 |
| Kamion | i.e. apt-get and wget | 05:51 |
| Kaleo | I guess than apt-get or wget was not honouring it | 05:52 |
| Kaleo | -than+that | 05:52 |
| Kamion | honestly, I don't believe that | 05:52 |
| Kaleo | that seems weird | 05:52 |
| Kaleo | must be something else then | 05:53 |
| Kaleo | how is going your installation ? | 05:55 |
| Kamion | I've confirmed that http_proxy is definitely being passed through to apt | 05:55 |
| Kaleo | ok | 05:55 |
| Kamion | it's being pretty slow, but that's because archive.ubuntu.com is being pretty slow | 05:55 |
| Kaleo | yes | 05:55 |
| Kamion | the environment is definitely correct though | 05:55 |
| Kaleo | how did you set up the proxy ? | 05:55 |
| Kamion | system -> preferences -> network proxy | 05:55 |
| Kaleo | directly the $http_proxy ? | 05:55 |
| Kaleo | ok | 05:55 |
| Kaleo | are you sure that its going through it ? | 05:56 |
| Kaleo | does your firewall prevent the direct connection ? | 05:56 |
| Kamion | I'm stracing squid, I can see stuff going through it | 05:57 |
| Kamion | read(14, "GET http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com"..., 4095) = 211 | 05:57 |
| Kamion | is pretty conclusive | 05:57 |

| Ubugtu | Malone bug 55047 in python-mysqldb "python-mysqldb doesn't actually install any python" [Medium,Confirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/55047 | 06:03 |
| Kaleo | Kamion: pretty strange but the facts are as you say conclusive | 06:04 |
| Kamion | Kaleo: my feeling is that a good approach would be to make apt-setup chatter more to debconf about what it's doing | 06:06 |
| Kamion | Kaleo: it probably wouldn't be too difficult to pass through the apt progress bar, now that we have stuff like debconf-apt-progress | 06:06 |
| Kamion | I suspect many experiences of "hangs" with a configured proxy are in fact just slowness and lack of progress reporting | 06:07 |
| Kaleo | hmmm | 06:07 |

| Kaleo | I agree | 06:13 |
| Kaleo | I would like to try | 06:13 |
| Kamion | care would need to be taken to ensure that it's not on the critical path for installation | 06:13 |

| === ogra_ [n=ogra@p548AF115.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | it is important not to make the installation longer by adding extra pages full of questions that the user has to read | 06:14 |
| Kaleo | yes | 06:14 |
| Kamion | at this point, most extra questions should be in places where the user isn't obliged to acknowledge them, and can just bypass them to use the defaults | 06:15 |
| Kaleo | like an extra option in a page with a sensitive default option ? | 06:15 |
| Kamion | I was thinking of a button on some appropriate page that popped up some extra stuff when pressed | 06:16 |
| Kamion | but whatever | 06:16 |

| === Gman [n=gman@nwkea-socks-1.sun.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | I spent at least 20 hours of face-to-face time with other people to thrash out the ubiquity UI | 06:20 |
| gnomefreak | ah | 06:20 |
| Kaleo | Kamion: do you think that the question is important enough to be visible in one ubiquity's screen ? | 06:24 |
| Kamion | Kaleo: I think it should be easy to see how to get to it, but I'm not convinced the question itself should be visible | 06:25 |
| seb128 | heno: no idea, what do you mean by "grab focus when you press Alt"? like window going to first plan? | 06:26 |
| Kamion | seems like a reasonable case for just having the title/heading be visible | 06:26 |
| heno | seb128: when you press and hold the Alt key the mouse clicks are diverted to metacity it seems | 06:30 |
| heno | seb128: so you cannot click on anything else until it is released | 06:30 |
| heno | that makes Alt+key combinations difficult on the virtual keyboard | 06:31 |
| mdke | it's used for dragging windows | 06:31 |
| Kaleo | Kamion: I cannot see any screen in ubiquity relevant to the network | 06:31 |
| heno | mdke: ah, thanks. Is there a gconf key to turn it off? | 06:31 |
| Kamion | Kaleo: indeed, there isn't one | 06:31 |
| Kamion | Kaleo: the timezone screen is closest, I suppose, since it deals with where you are | 06:32 |
| Kaleo | Kamion: yes | 06:32 |
| Kamion | although it's a little crowded at present | 06:32 |
| Kaleo | I agree | 06:32 |
| Kaleo | indeed | 06:32 |
| Kaleo | it brings me another question | 06:32 |
| mdke | heno: I can't see one. seb128 will know | 06:33 |
| Kamion | Riddell: I'd appreciate testing of ubiquity 1.0.15 on Kubuntu when it builds; suggested test is to create some partitions in qtparted, go forward to the mountpoints screen, go back, delete those partitions and create some other ones, go forward to the mountpoint screen, see if it behaves sensibly | 06:33 |
| Kaleo | we have three possibilities : 1) internet connection set up properly, 2) no network interfaces configured, 3) interface configured but no access to internet | 06:33 |
| Kaleo | in case 1) everything is fine | 06:33 |
| Riddell | Kamion: sure | 06:34 |
| Kamion | Riddell: prior to 1.0.15/1.1.7 it would fail to offer some of the partitions (especially if you create more partitions the second time round than you did the first time round), probably get the sizes wrong, and if you selected a partition that you didn't create in the first time round then it would crash | 06:34 |
| Kamion | I solved this by just deciding not to bother trying to preserve mountpoint selections if you go back | 06:35 |
| Kamion | Kaleo: the other obvious option is to put stuff on the final summary screen | 06:36 |
| Kaleo | in case 2) the installation goes ok I think but you have to configure manually the mirrors if you planned to use an internet connection | 06:36 |
| Kamion | Kaleo: so it says "Network: use existing Internet connection" and there's a button beside it letting you change it, or something | 06:36 |
| Kaleo | Kamion: absolutely the best place at the moment, I agree | 06:36 |
| Kaleo | Kamion: yep | 06:36 |
| Kamion | that would go for bootloader configuration as well | 06:36 |
| Kaleo | Kamion: really interesting the bootloader option but maybe a bit too technical ? | 06:37 |
| Kamion | I have a horde of osnews people baying for my blood that ubiquity doesn't let you configure where grub is installed | 06:37 |
| Kamion | again, it absolutely shouldn't be asked by default, but if the final summary said "GRUB: installed in Master Boot Record of /dev/sda" or whatever and there was a button to change it, that wouldn't be too scary | 06:38 |
| Kaleo | oh I see, the same summary but with small buttons for options | 06:38 |
| === Huahua [n=hua_@123.49.236.125] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | right. now at the moment there are some technical problems with asking much in the way of questions on the final summary page (because the partitioner is still running in the background and monopolising debconf), but I'm sure there are ways around that | 06:39 |
| Kamion | anyway, I have to go for the evening - see you | 06:39 |

| pitti | pygi: yes, we have it for ages | 09:24 |
| pygi | pitti, asking because of this: http://libburn.pykix.org/ticket/18 | 09:26 |
| pygi | if it's just a stream that needs to be opened with O_EXCL, then it's 30 seconds patch :) | 09:26 |
| pitti | pygi: oh, you meant I shall give you the patch? | 09:27 |
| pygi | pitti, right, just to see if I am thinking about the correct thingy :) | 09:28 |
| pitti | pygi: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/patches/cdrecord.O_EXCL.patch | 09:29 |
| pygi | thanks pitti :) | 09:29 |
| pitti | pygi: I'm not sure whether the timeout is the right thing to do in the library | 09:29 |
| pitti | pygi: maybe the library should just fail with a particular 'busy' error and the timeout should be in the app | 09:30 |
| pitti | pygi: if you take this timeout stuff away, it's indeed just adding O_EXCL to the open() call | 09:30 |
| pygi | right, busy error it might be then or something more verbose :) | 09:31 |
| pygi | so this patch replaced open() with sg_open_excl() | 09:33 |
| pygi | ah, right | 09:34 |
| pygi | thanks once again pitti :) | 09:34 |
| === heno [n=henrik@henrik.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | pygi: yes, because sg_open_excl() implements the timeout | 09:34 |
| pitti | pygi: but as I said, that's a bit evil in a library, since the app would be blocked during that time | 09:35 |
| pygi | pitti, yes, but in my case it could implement error message | 09:35 |
| pitti | pygi: you should just pass the EBUSY to the app IMHO | 09:35 |
| pitti | pygi: how is libburn coming along, btw? | 09:35 |
| pygi | pitti, quite good I would say | 09:35 |
| pitti | it's something that has been necessary for a looong time :) | 09:35 |
| pitti | cool | 09:35 |
| pygi | I an working on complete libisofs rewrite right now | 09:35 |
| pygi | we aim for -tao like writing for 0.3, and for dvd and multi-session I am not yet sure | 09:36 |
| pygi | 0.2.1 should be out in a month | 09:36 |
| pitti | pygi: so, something non-crackful GPL with a sane consistent interface? | 09:36 |
| pitti | pygi: will it handle DVDs, too? | 09:36 |
| pygi | pitti, it should, but not just yet :) | 09:36 |
| pitti | sure, I mean if it's plannec | 09:36 |
| pitti | s/c$/d/ | 09:36 |
| pygi | ofcourse :) | 09:36 |
| pitti | the API should be designed accordingly, I mean | 09:37 |
| pitti | yay | 09:37 |
| pygi | I think I'll have most issues with multi-session stuff | 09:37 |
| pygi | I'll need to do some serious thinking about that | 09:38 |
| pitti | pygi: I found the 'write down all use cases and check whether the API has a straightforward way of implementing them' a good approach | 09:38 |
| pygi | pitti, indeed :) | 09:40 |
| pygi | I just had talk with "someone" offering me to implement conversion of most proptietarity image formats to iso into libisofs :) | 09:41 |
| pygi | which I'll most probably decline :) | 09:41 |
| pitti | 'proprietary image formats' -- like the ones from Nero etc.? | 09:42 |
| === pitti has never seen a non-iso image | ||
| pitti | well, I haven't seen a non-Linux box in a long time | 09:42 |
| pygi | pitti, hehe :) | 09:42 |
| pygi | right, alcholol 120%, nero, bla, bla :) | 09:42 |
| pygi | alcohol* | 09:42 |
| HiddenWolf | where is the catch? | 09:43 |
| === pitti had expected them to be iso with some metadata wrapped around | ||
| pitti | pygi: what's the problem with that conversion? the knowledge about the format is NDAed? | 09:43 |
| HiddenWolf | pitti: of course not, that'd be sane, wouldn't it? | 09:43 |
| pygi | pitti, indeed, he obtained knowledge by doing reverse engeenering :) | 09:44 |
| pygi | or whatever the spelling is :p | 09:44 |
| pitti | HiddenWolf: erm, you mean NDA'ing file formats would be sane? | 09:44 |
| === j_ack [n=rudi@p508D95AE.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | pygi: but reverse engineering is fine - where's the problem then? | 09:44 |
| pygi | pitti, how can it be fine? :P | 09:45 |
| HiddenWolf | pitti: I mean that wrapping some metadata around iso would've been sane, which is why they didn't do that for $bunchofotherformats | 09:45 |
| pitti | pygi: fine legally, not from the point of efficiency, of course :) | 09:45 |
| pitti | HiddenWolf: ah, heh | 09:45 |
| pygi | pitti, hm, right, but...ah anyway, care to discuss this later? I am kinda in a hurry :) | 09:46 |
| pitti | oh, I didn't mean to stall you | 09:46 |
| pygi | no, no, ofcourse you didn't, don't worry :) | 09:46 |
