| ogra | Keybuk, i have a weird problem with my ltsp here ... apparently the NIC always starts in half duplex mode ... do you know how evil it would be to run mii-tool -F 100base-Tx-FD in my initscript of the client ? would NICs that dont have 100base-Tx-FD support break on that or just gracefully fall back to something sane | 12:43 |
| Burgwork | right. I am going to writing something about upstart as part of the Knot2 release thingy | 12:43 |
| ogra | i.e. how forcefully is the force switch ? :) | 12:44 |
| Keybuk | ogra: they'd break | 12:45 |
| ogra | gah | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | in particular, you'd break any NIC plugged into a hub | 12:45 |
| ogra | right | 12:45 |
| ogra | oh | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | as you'd force it into 100base-Tx-FD overriding whatever it had auto-sensed | 12:45 |
| ogra | RIGHT | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | (hubs are almost never FD :p) | 12:45 |
| ogra | i'm plugged into a hub | 12:45 |
| ogra | <- heavy headdesking | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | are you sure that it really should be at FD ? | 12:45 |
| Keybuk | if you're plugged into a hub, it would not surprise me that HD is the best you can get | 12:46 |
| Keybuk | if you set it to FD, do you get lots of errors? | 12:46 |
| ogra | well, if i force it to FD i can import my 10Gig of music from the usb disk on the thin client to rhythmbox and my session doesnt die ... | 12:47 |
| ogra | in HD that doesnt work | 12:47 |
| Keybuk | why doesn't it work? | 12:48 |
| ogra | the network gets saturated and the ssh session dies (locks up) | 12:48 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 12:49 |
| ogra | usually after 10-20 mins | 12:49 |
| ogra | i switched to FD more than 1h ago and the music still plays fine ... desktop is responsive etc | 12:50 |
| Keybuk | what's the error count in ifconfig? | 12:50 |
| ogra | RX: 1597 | 12:50 |
| ogra | the rest 0 | 12:50 |
| ogra | hmm | 12:51 |
| ogra | rising | 12:51 |
| ogra | 1601 now | 12:51 |
| Keybuk | then something isn't doing FD properly ;) | 12:52 |
| Keybuk | errors should always be 0 on a wired interface | 12:52 |
| mjr | well, close to it anyway | 12:52 |

| sladen | JanC: simple question. what command would you run to edit /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 02:39 |
| JanC | 'sudo -e /etc/apt/sources.list' ? | 02:40 |
| Burgwork | why do we even ship vim and emacs? | 02:41 |
| Burgwork | aside from the screaming if we didn't? | 02:41 |
| HrdwrBoB | because people use them all the time? | 02:41 |
| HrdwrBoB | emacs you could potentially lose | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | since it's massive | 02:42 |
| Burgwork | "people" use irc all the time and we dropped that | 02:42 |
| sladen | JanC: okay, most people (including me) would do sudo emacs ... and we have to cope with that (even if export EDITOR=... and sudo -e would be better) | 02:42 |
| JanC | vim is massive too ;) | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | and people who use it are all insane | 02:42 |
| Burgwork | in fact, I would say that more people used xchat than vim or emacs | 02:42 |
| Burgwork | infinity, what is your gut feeling? should I suggest we not ship them? | 02:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | I know less than a handful of people who use emacs | 02:43 |
| sladen | Burgwork: vim: so that people can edit files. Emacs is not installed by default, but it is a programmers editor and normally the first thing I install | 02:43 |
| JanC | sladen: but my second message was about the 'always_set_home' flag in sudoers | 02:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | I know MANY people that use vim | 02:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | people that use emacs are *ALL* "hardcore" | 02:43 |
| Burgwork | sladen, umm, nano? | 02:43 |

| Burgwork | then at least lets ship the smallest bloody vim we can | 02:44 |

| JanC | I use 'nano' to add universe so I can install 'joe' :) | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | 'vi' | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | most people wouldn't care that vim had to be installed | 02:45 |
| sladen | Burgwork: that's a proposal/spec worth making. If I'm not getting my 'emacs' by default I want to ensure that the 'vi' nutters are penalised aswell | 02:45 |
| Burgwork | aside from infinity's "it belongs there" arguement. Why do we need it? I am not trolling. I am asking a serious question from a non0technical users standpoint | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | 'vim' not 'vi' | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | vi is a core unix util which has a reasonable expectation of being their | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | vim is not | 02:46 |
| sladen | HrdwrBoB: this is a valid point, can you write a spec? | 02:46 |
| Burgwork | are things going to break if it is not included? it is easily apt-getable? | 02:46 |
| Burgwork | I can see if somebody writes vim/vi into a script and thus it would silently fail, but I just don't see someone doing that | 02:46 |
| lifeless | they'd use ed to do that | 02:47 |
| infinity | Burgwork: Nothing breaks, except the brains of thousand of old UNIX hacks. A small vi is not a size hit, and people who don't know what vi is will never rnu it, so there's no harm in having it there to satisfy old farts like me. | 02:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | sladen: I can do that, can you point me in the right direction | 02:47 |
| Burgwork | infinity, ok. Installed size is 1.5mb | 02:48 |
| infinity | Burgwork: For vim? Bigger than that, you're missing vim-runtime and other scariness. | 02:49 |

| bddebian | Howdy folks | 02:51 |
| infinity | HrdwrBoB: A useable 'vi'? | 02:51 |
| tseng | HrdwrBoB: it offers vi in significantly less space? | 02:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | tseng: um | 02:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | what I mean is if you install vim-tiny instead of nvi | 02:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | would people actually care | 02:52 |
| tseng | that isnt what you said | 02:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | or are all 'vim people' going to isntall vim anyway | 02:52 |
| tseng | I am | 02:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | in which case, vim-tiny is not useful | 02:52 |
| tseng | but if i have no vi at all, I will be pissed | 02:52 |
| infinity | HrdwrBoB: vim-tiny sucks a bit less than nvi. Fewer irritating misfeatures (like resetting the editor mode when you hit the beginning of a line) and such. | 02:52 |
| tseng | this applies to 1000s of people | 02:52 |

| Burgundavia | cool | 03:26 |
| Burgundavia | ping me when you are done with it | 03:26 |

| jdong | bddebian: merry christmas, bug 58164 | 03:29 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 58164 in dapper-backports "firestarter backport" [High,Confirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/58164 | 03:29 |
| bddebian | jdong: Thx! | 03:29 |
| bddebian | Wow, all those syncs brought down the merge list a little :-) | 03:29 |
| === jdong marvels at how fast his core duo cranked out a firestarter deb :) | ||
| === jdong grumbles at how slow XFS is at installing it since 2.6.17's write barriers | ||
| lifeless | write barriers? | 03:33 |
| jdong | lifeless: yeah, flushing that annoying write cache to make sure nothing gets lost in abrupt shutdown | 03:33 |
| jdong | without it, even journaling FS'es can corrupt during bad shutdowns | 03:34 |
| jdong | XFS's aggressiveness makes it exceptionally vulnerable to this | 03:34 |
| lifeless | ah | 03:34 |
| jdong | so, safety at the cost of performance :-/ | 03:34 |
| lifeless | when does it flush now ? | 03:34 |
| lifeless | not every write ? | 03:34 |
| HrdwrBoB | it works ok for me :) | 03:34 |
| jdong | right now the hd is responsible for flushing its own cache | 03:35 |
| HrdwrBoB | (though I have XFS setup with an external journal and my disks have a large write cache) | 03:35 |
| jdong | HrdwrBoB: extern journal turns off barriers on XFS | 03:35 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah | 03:35 |
| jdong | in 2.6.17, XFS team turned on write barriers by default | 03:35 |
| jdong | so the filesystem keeps track of what's currently in the hd's cache | 03:36 |
| lifeless | ah, I see | 03:36 |
| jdong | from what I've heard, ext3 has been doing this for some time now | 03:36 |
| jdong | the goal was to address the xfs_repair-after-shutdown issues people have been complaining about | 03:36 |
| lifeless | yeah, writing over whats in cache in the hd would be failure prone | 03:36 |
| HrdwrBoB | writing over? | 03:37 |
| jdong | until now, the XFS team has been just blaming it on cheap PC hardware :P | 03:37 |
| jdong | lifeless: it's not writing over as much as it is losing... | 03:37 |
| HrdwrBoB | not really, the cache is gone after no power | 03:37 |
| === cr3_ [n=marc@Sherbrooke-HSE-ppp3611353.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| HrdwrBoB | jdong: which realistically is fair, since XFS was designed to run on real hardware | 03:37 |
| HrdwrBoB | with persistant write buffers | 03:37 |
| jdong | HrdwrBoB: right, but I own cheap hardware but still want to run XFS :) | 03:37 |
| jdub | HrdwrBoB: it was also designed to run with a real operating system... ;-) | 03:38 |
| jdong | torrenting really blows on ext3/reiserfs | 03:38 |
| HrdwrBoB | they also suck a lot for large filesystems | 03:38 |
| HrdwrBoB | however, xfs delete times are awful. | 03:38 |
| jdong | I agree | 03:38 |
| HrdwrBoB | so you can't win | 03:39 |
| jdong | a large journaling area + logbufs=8 helps a bit | 03:39 |
| jdong | but that's just a band-aid | 03:39 |
| HrdwrBoB | I'm talking about a few hundred thousand files | 03:39 |
| jdong | I know, I feel the pain of cleaning out pbuilders every few hours | 03:39 |
| jdong | for what I gain from XFS, it's a trade-off I am willing to make | 03:39 |
| jdong | ext3 just simply does not work out for me | 03:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | I use rsync+hardlinks to do backups | 03:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | so I end up with LOTS of files | 03:40 |
| jdong | and after trying to repair two different reiserfs corruptions, I've learned that fsck.reiserfs might as well be symlinked to mkfs.reiserfs :) | 03:40 |
| jdong | lifeless: btw, bzr is just rocking recently.... handling my kernels superbly | 03:41 |
| lifeless | thats fantastic nes | 03:41 |
| lifeless | *news* | 03:41 |
| HrdwrBoB | jdong: though I screwed XFS by trying to use it on an amd64 kernel | 03:41 |
| HrdwrBoB | when it was made/used by a 32bit kernel | 03:41 |
| jdong | HrdwrBoB: ouch... yeah, that's a tough lesson to learn | 03:41 |
| jdong | HrdwrBoB: did you dodge the 2.6.17.6/7 directory corruption thing? | 03:42 |
| jdong | that sucked for XFS's reputation :-/ | 03:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah I managed to get around that, fortunately | 03:42 |
| jdong | :) | 03:43 |
| jdong | the other good thing about xfs, it provides me with xfs_fsr to entertain me when I'm bored | 03:44 |
| jdong | I can fit in with Windows users and say that I defrag my filesystem :P | 03:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | heh | 03:45 |

| jdub | HrdwrBoB: xfs doesn't work with 64 bit kernels, or is it a filesystem portabiity issue? | 03:47 |
| === Gman is now known as GmanAFK | ||
| jdong | jdub: a xfs volume made in a 32-bit arch can't be used on a 64-bit arch | 03:48 |
| jdong | if you mount it, you'll corrupt it | 03:49 |
| jdub | that is so much bong | 03:49 |
| jdong | no kidding :-/ | 03:49 |
| jdub | is that a linux port issue, or an xfs-in-general issue? i can't imagine why xfs would have portability problems... crazy! | 03:49 |
| HrdwrBoB | jdub: portability | 03:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah | 03:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | linux port issue afaik | 03:50 |
| maswan | jdong: that's interesting, considering that I'm fairly sure I run that | 03:50 |
| maswan | (or did I run a 64-bit kernel all the time on that host perhaps?) | 03:50 |
| jdong | maswan: I've mounted one of my 32-bit xfs partitions under amd64 before, and it didn't seem to mess up | 03:50 |
| jdong | but so many people have reported problems and the XFS team has said not to do it... so.... yeah | 03:51 |
| jdub | "doctor, it hurts if i hold my hand above my head!" | 03:51 |
| jdub | "well, don't do that" | 03:51 |
| jdub | *bzzt* | 03:51 |
| jdong | jdub: i saw my doctor about something like that a week back | 03:52 |
| jdong | he sent me home with a bottle of vicodin | 03:52 |
| jdub | heh | 03:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | the problem is, it's not obvious | 03:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | and the documentation on it is sparse | 03:53 |
| maswan | no mention of it in the faq either | 03:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | I didn't realise that was the problem until I found an xfs mailing list post saying "my data is toast!" | 03:53 |
| jdong | there's mention in XFS's wikipedia article | 03:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | # | 03:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | # On the Linux XFS implementations, compatibility issues between 64-bit and 32-bit environments exist. | 03:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | that's a far cry from "you will frag all your data if you change to 64 bit" | 03:55 |
| jdong | I know, very vague and not the red bold warning it deserves | 03:55 |
| === nictuku [n=yves@ubuntu/member/nictuku] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jdub | that's why wikipedia is a wiki tho :) | 03:55 |
| maswan | ah, reading some ml stuff, there are mentions of things like patches to fix log replay when changing bitness and so | 03:56 |
| HrdwrBoB | maswan: yeah very recently iirc | 03:56 |
| maswan | so it might only be a "frag all data if you have change to 64 bit while having a dirty log"? | 03:57 |

| bddebian | heh | 04:01 |
| jdong | nvm, pseudo-answered my own question | 04:01 |
| jdong | when you open a port, it opens both tcp/udp | 04:01 |
| jdong | I was wondering why it didn't ask me which | 04:01 |

| Burgundavia | mdke: remove vim from the default install: queue flamewar | 09:29 |
| mdke | sounds like a plan to me, although that one wasn't my suggestion | 09:29 |
| Burgundavia | somebody else just suggested on the cd thread | 09:30 |
| mdke | yeah, I read it | 09:30 |
| mdke | is a good idea, I think. People who like vim can install it, nano/gedit/kate are provided by default. | 09:30 |
| HrdwrBoB | exactly | 09:30 |
| mdke | but doesn't sabdfl use vim? | 09:30 |
| HrdwrBoB | sabdfl can't use apt-get? | 09:31 |
| HrdwrBoB | I use gvim, that's not installed by default either | 09:31 |
| Burgundavia | regardless of specific people: do the majority of ubuntu users (or even a very large minority) use vim | 09:33 |
| jdub | sysadmins the world over will hurt you | 09:33 |
| Burgundavia | I doubt the answer to that is yes | 09:33 |
| mdke | maybe a significant majority | 09:33 |
| mdke | whoops, *minority | 09:33 |
| mdke | jdub: they can install it too | 09:33 |
| Burgundavia | jdub: then vim can survive on a -server seed | 09:33 |
| Burgundavia | personally, I am not afraid of sysadmins | 09:34 |

| jdub | the package sizes are not that huge anyway | 09:35 |

| Burgundavia | jdub: installed is what counts on the cd | 09:36 |
| HrdwrBoB | (I say that as a sysadmin) | 09:36 |
| jsgotangco | Burgundavia: we sysads can just make the whole internet stop and make you desktop users cry | 09:36 |

| jdub | at least that solves the problem without punching too many people in the face | 09:38 |
| jdub | HrdwrBoB: vim is at least vim, not vi | 09:38 |
| infinity | nvi has some annoying misfeatures that driveme batty. | 09:39 |
| infinity | Otherwise, I couldn't care less which one we choose. | 09:39 |

| bluefoxicy | It is 4am | 10:01 |
| bluefoxicy | I leave you with this thought, because I do not have time or really care | 10:01 |
| bluefoxicy | Someone in #svn brought up that if you compress an input with gzip, then bzip2, you get significant gains | 10:02 |
| bluefoxicy | this is also said to work with bzip2 and then gzip | 10:02 |
| === pvanhoof [n=pvanhoof@mailhost.newtec.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | I'm not sure why; my best hypothesis is that compression leaves characteristics of the input stream in the output stream (after all, input is simply redundancy-eliminated and character encoded; patterns not affected by the algorithm will carry), and so rolling a different compression methodology past it allows the second pass to freely operate on those properties. | 10:03 |
| bluefoxicy | This is only conjecture; but for similar concept, look into electronic codebook encoding with block ciphers. Here is an encrypted picture of Tux: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tux_ecb.jpg | 10:04 |
| thom | bluefoxicy: is this going to become relevant any time soon? | 10:04 |
| bluefoxicy | And with that I leave you for the night. (lzma debs vs gzip/bz2 vs gzip/bz2/lzma?) | 10:04 |
| bluefoxicy | thom: no clue; but at least the thought is circulating. | 10:05 |
| thom | there's a reason that whilst we _can_ do bzip2 debs very, very few are. the relatively small gain is not worth the overhead | 10:06 |
| bluefoxicy | thom: personally I don't care. I have a memory allocator to write in an attempt to solve a flaw in heap based management and reduce memory usage massively. | 10:06 |
| bluefoxicy | thom: no, I mean input -> gzip -> bzip2 | 10:06 |
| bluefoxicy | someone brought up that, strangely, the fact that it's gzipped already doesn't stop bzip2 from also causing a 20% reduction if it would have caused a 20% reduction on the input stream, or some such nonsense | 10:07 |
| bluefoxicy | thom: I have no answer for A) if it really works that way; B) if so, why it works that way; or C) If it's significant enough that anyone cares. Regardless, such things are interesting; if everyone kept their ideas to themselves where would we be? | 10:08 |
| thom | on topic? | 10:08 |
| bluefoxicy | normally I'd prove it and give a stronger argument but I'm tired, it's 4am, and I have class tomorrow, | 10:08 |

| janimo | ok, thanks I wasn't sure if the relatively recent ship-live changed what I knew in dapper | 01:16 |
| Kamion | packages in ship-live end up on the desktop CD as .debs, rather than being installed in the live filesystem | 01:17 |
| Kamion | so you get /casper/filesystem.squashfs containing boot+minimal+standard+desktop+live, and /dists/ and /pool/ containing ship-live | 01:17 |
| Seveas | Kamion, 'added vim-tiny to...' -- vim conflicts with vim-tiny, so installing vim whill remove ubuntu-minimal, right? | 01:18 |
| Kamion | Seveas: vim Conflicts: vim-tiny (<< 1:6.4-001+3) | 01:19 |
| Kamion | Seveas: current vim-tiny is 1:7.0-035+1ubuntu2 | 01:19 |
| Seveas | ah | 01:19 |

| janimo | Kamion: I wonder if debs on the liveCD copuld be used to install xubuntu-at- packages we talked about yesterday? | 01:23 |
| janimo | what is that ship-live repo used for now? | 01:23 |
| Kamion | janimo: it's possible, but would require a certain amount of head-scratching in ubiquity. :-) | 01:24 |
| Kamion | janimo: basically to make stuff like build-essential available | 01:24 |
| janimo | Kamion: to make sure they don't get installed on the disk you mean? | 01:24 |
| Kamion | and various network access packages | 01:24 |
| Kamion | janimo: no, just to do the installation at all | 01:24 |
| Kamion | it's all just glue, nothing massively complicated, but would need to be done ... | 01:25 |
| janimo | I'll have to take a look I guess if there is no other solution which lets gnome AT tools be installed on the CD but only optional on the final install | 01:26 |
| Kamion | the other solution is live-cd-stacked-filesystems, as I said yesterday | 01:26 |
| Kamion | having the accessibility packages be a layer stacked just above the desktop | 01:27 |
| Kamion | so ubiquity could choose to copy just the desktop bit or desktop+accessibility | 01:27 |
| Kamion | yet another alternative is just teaching ubiquity to manually remove the AT packages | 01:27 |
| janimo | right. Is that done already? Is it to be used by ubiquity for something else? | 01:27 |
| janimo | right I was thinking of the manual removal as it happens with languages | 01:27 |
| Kamion | it's to be used by ubiquity in place of its current remove-lots-of-packages hacks; I think it's mostly done | 01:27 |
| janimo | ok | 01:28 |
| elmo | Kamion: ehm, dude | 01:28 |
| elmo | Kamion: cdimage is up to 479GB | 01:28 |
| elmo | pls to be reigning it in | 01:28 |
| janimo | Gloubiboulga: committed modified seeds with only En on amd64 and ppc | 01:28 |
| Kamion | elmo: ok, I'll have a look. you mean the bit that's mirrored? | 01:28 |
| janimo | but I'd like to wait a bit until I upload x-system-tools before a respin ok? | 01:29 |
| elmo | Kamion: yes | 01:29 |
| Kamion | I'll just nuke the point-release dapper builds | 01:29 |
| Gloubiboulga | janimo, ok | 01:30 |
| janimo | Gloubiboulga: did you ./update from xubutu-meta for the upload? | 01:30 |
| infinity | Kamion: Not sure we can do that, since it gives us some undefined behaviour. | 01:31 |
| Kamion | infinity: ? | 01:31 |
| janimo | I wonder why my subsequent upload of today deleted the two xfce plugins for HPPA, and they were ok when you uploaded | 01:31 |
| infinity | Kamion: live-cd-stacked-filsystem assumes a linear 1+2+3 growth in filesystem stacking. | 01:31 |
| Kamion | infinity: I'm not sure what that means | 01:31 |
| infinity | Kamion: So, if we're doing base+desktop+live+live-dvd, where does live-at fit? | 01:31 |
| Kamion | infinity: base+desktop+live-at+live+live-dvd | 01:32 |
| infinity | Kamion: (We're overlaying a new dpkg status file each time, so we can't really do anything nonlinear) | 01:32 |
| Kamion | right, seems pretty linear to me though | 01:32 |
| Gloubiboulga | janimo, I didn't | 01:32 |
| infinity | Kamion: Okay, so live-at will always be there, check. Then that's fine. | 01:32 |
| janimo | Gloubiboulga: you wrote the changelog by hand? | 01:32 |
| infinity | Kamion: I wasn't really following the above well enough to catch that, I guess. | 01:32 |
| Kamion | elmo: down to 376GB - is there anywhere else I can put stuff like the archival copy of dapper.0? | 01:33 |
| Gloubiboulga | janimo, yes, I need to use the tools wa have next times ;) | 01:33 |
| janimo | Gloubiboulga: ok :). So after you commit to the seeds, just run ./update from the most recent xubuntu-meta, and it will generate the new version with automated changelog | 01:34 |
| elmo | Kamion: public or for backup/storage? | 01:34 |
| Kamion | elmo: dapper.0 probably still ought to be public | 01:34 |
| Kamion | elmo: you could backup old-releases/{warty,.pool/warty*} non-publicly now, though | 01:35 |
| Kamion | that's only 2.3GB though | 01:35 |
| Kamion | you know, I'm just going to stop keeping two DVD builds | 01:37 |
| elmo | Kamion: we could put them on hutte I guess - got any suggestions for a hostname? | 01:37 |
| Kamion | elmo: old-releases.ubuntu.com? | 01:37 |
| elmo | ok | 01:38 |
| elmo | I'll setup an RT ticket - where should we copy the stuff from? | 01:38 |
| Kamion | for warty or dapper? | 01:38 |
| Kamion | elmo: /srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/www/full/{,ports/,kubuntu/,edubuntu/,xubuntu/}dapper/release/ | 01:41 |
| elmo | blink | 01:41 |
| elmo | that's old releases? | 01:41 |
| Kamion | that's dapper.0 | 01:41 |
| Kamion | except make that /srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/www/full/{,ports/,kubuntu/,edubuntu/,xubuntu/}releases/dapper/release/ | 01:41 |
| elmo | hmm, ok | 01:42 |
| Kamion | the archival copies of warty and hoary are in /srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/www/full/old-releases/ | 01:42 |

| === Kagou [n=Kagou@84.6.194.148] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| infinity | Allowing backports to break component expectations may be acceptable, if we're also making it clear that we don't support backport in any way, shape, or form. | 03:42 |
| infinity | Since, then, sections don't matter for backports. | 03:42 |
| infinity | (Except for the non-free/free distinction) | 03:42 |
| imbrandon | infinity: yea i think thats clear since its not enabled by default either | 03:42 |
| imbrandon | its a choice to use it | 03:43 |
| jdong | right | 03:43 |
| infinity | I'll have to bring it up with the rest of the archive team. It's not a policy decisoin I'll make in a vacuum. | 03:43 |
| infinity | But since we don't provide any commercial support for backports, I suspect the main/universe distinction is pointless anyway. | 03:43 |

| infinity | Kamion: Hence why I figure it might make more sense to just view backports itself as universe/multiverse free-for-all, and drop the main/resitrcted distinction entirely, since backports aren't supported, hence de-facto not "main". | 03:45 |
| jdong | if we backported libifp-dev to dapper, would it magically turn buildable? | 03:45 |
| === jdong smacks himself for such a reckless idea | ||
| imbrandon | jdong: no | 03:45 |
| infinity | jdong: Only if we popped it in main. But don't do that. | 03:46 |

| jdong | k | 03:46 |
| imbrandon | right | 03:46 |
| infinity | jdong: Not much point in backporting anything if we backport all the libraries too. Then you just have.. Edgy. | 03:46 |
| imbrandon | exactly ;) | 03:46 |
| jdong | well, I'm gonna grab breakfast, you guys enjoy hashing this out :) | 03:47 |

| infinity | Kamion: Anyhow, I don't know if soyuz does per-pocket overrides, but I doubt it's worth the effort. I can just mangle the ogre setup on the -backports chroots to always build against main+universe (for free sources) and main+universe+multiverse+restricted (for non-free sources), and just hand-wave the problem away. | 03:48 |

| Mithrandir | janimo: if you think it's good to have it in xubuntu knot-2, feel free to upload it. | 04:02 |

| tseng | the bindings arent that widely used | 04:18 |

| cbx33 | got a scenario to run past you. working on something in edubuntu that requires me to run a an app as a nother user, who is not root, this is a graphical app that needs to run in my current session, I can be root if necessary...gksudo doesn't work | 04:40 |
| cbx33 | as the user doesn't have access to my xsession | 04:40 |
| cbx33 | and I want to keep it that way | 04:40 |
| thom | Keybuk: that's pretty scary | 04:40 |
| cbx33 | I tried sux.....which worked great....just not in an LTSP environment | 04:40 |
| cbx33 | anyone got any better suggestions? | 04:41 |
| cbx33 | the only one we came up with was sshkeys | 04:41 |
| cbx33 | so i plant my public key in the users authoirsed keys | 04:41 |
| cbx33 | and that way I can run | 04:41 |
| cbx33 | ssh -X to the user@localhost | 04:41 |
| cbx33 | can anyone see a better solution? | 04:41 |
| Mithrandir | Riddell: ok. I guess you need new livefs-es and such and want to wait a little bit for the live one, though. | 04:42 |

| cbx33 | infinity, again true | 04:46 |
| cbx33 | is vuntz around? | 04:46 |
| Mithrandir | cbx33: yeah, that'd be useful. | 04:47 |
| infinity | cbx33: You'd need to sandbox the app completely (say, in a VNC session, or other such insanity) to prevent that. | 04:47 |
| cbx33 | infinity, which is too much for this particular implementation | 04:47 |
| cbx33 | it's pessulus you see | 04:47 |
| Mithrandir | cbx33: I guess one could implement a one-shot-cookie access control, but it wouldn't really help you much. | 04:47 |
| Mithrandir | infinity: Xnest (or at least Xephyr) would work by itself. | 04:48 |
| Mithrandir | (I'm less sure about Xnest than Xephyr, tbh) | 04:48 |
| infinity | Mithrandir: I think xnest is safe, yeah. Not positive. | 04:48 |

| cbx33 | vuntz, how much work is that :p | 04:58 |
| vuntz | cbx33: shouldn't be too hard | 04:58 |

| ogra | wow, i managed to get edubuntu to 700MB on the spot ... | 05:34 |
| === mvo cheers to ogra | ||
| ogra | but installing dapper on a P133 with 64M is really no fun ... | 05:36 |
| dholbach | edgy will be better ;) | 05:36 |
| infinity | It will be? | 05:36 |
| infinity | Are we shipping edgy with extra RAM in the CD sleeve? | 05:37 |
| ogra | i managed to manually bootstrap it from the recue mode (instaler just dies if it needs to validate packages ) but now i cant install the kernel | 05:37 |
| dholbach | I'm trying to lift the morale :) | 05:37 |
| infinity | It's never been my experience that new versions of operating systems consumer fewew resources. :) | 05:37 |
| infinity | s/fewew/fewer/ | 05:38 |
| Kamion | dapper can install in less RAM than breezy, actually | 05:38 |
| === bddebian [n=bdefrees@mail.ottens.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | but that's mostly just because I tweaked the lowmem limits. :) | 05:38 |
| infinity | (Well, not entirely true. I found Linux 2.4->2.6 to actually increase in speed on older hardware, with similar configurations... But when you toss an upgraded desktop environment around that, you lost the benefit) | 05:38 |
| mvo | ogra: it would certainly help you would not run the install in a gnome-terminal ;) | 05:38 |
| Kamion | and of course that's only for the alternate CD | 05:39 |
| infinity | Yeah. | 05:39 |
| === kagou [n=kagou@88-136-0-29.adslgp.cegetel.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | mvo, ah, right, you mean i shouldnt use the desktop CD ? | 05:39 |
| Kamion | ! don't use the desktop CD to install in 64M | 05:39 |
| bddebian | Howdy folks | 05:39 |
| mvo | ogra: exactly :P | 05:39 |
| ogra | Kamion, haha | 05:39 |
| janimo | ogra: this reminds me: what happened with the xfce edubuntu spec? No space on CD? | 05:39 |
| infinity | Kamion: Is smarenka still working on lowmem stuff in d-i during the etch cycle, or did he give up the fight after sarge released? | 05:39 |
| Kamion | the alternate CD should be able to handle down to 32M | 05:39 |
| ogra | Kamion, as if that woud even boot :) | 05:40 |
| ogra | *would | 05:40 |
| Kamion | infinity: don't know - I think he's done the odd bit, not sure | 05:40 |
| Keybuk | janimo: yeah, edubuntu *really* needs a third desktop environment on its CDs :p | 05:40 |
| ogra | janimo, i'm happy i just got them down to exactly 700M | 05:40 |
| ogra | Keybuk, well, there is a huge user demand for xfce in low end ltsp setups | 05:40 |
| infinity | ogra: Exactly, to the last byte? | 05:41 |
| janimo | Keybuk: it doesn't but deployment may really need on DE that allows them to server twice as many thin clients from the same server | 05:41 |
| infinity | ogra: Cause that'll surely explode on you after this publisher run, then. No one can be that lucky. :) | 05:41 |
| ogra | i didnt look at the last byte yet ... cdimage shows 700 | 05:41 |
| Keybuk | ogra: it strikes me that at some point, the effort of converting the existing KDE apps to be GTK+ apps may be worthwhile | 05:41 |
| ogra | Keybuk, thats in the works ;) | 05:41 |
| ogra | there is a team of edubuntu users rewriting kalzium ... which is the only reason to have kdeedu | 05:42 |
| janimo | ogra: you don't have kgeography or other kdeedu apps? | 05:42 |
| Kamion | you still have lots of other kde applications in the seeds | 05:42 |
| === kagou [n=kagou@88-136-0-29.adslgp.cegetel.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | janimo, we have abut 5-10 kdeedu apps ... | 05:43 |
| ogra | but all of them would have gnome pendants or are easy to rewrite | 05:43 |
| ogra | apart from kalzium | 05:43 |
| Kamion | $ wget -q -O - http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/germinate-output/edubuntu-edgy/desktop | grep -c 'kdeedu.*desktop seed' | 05:44 |
| Kamion | 14 | 05:44 |
| Chipzz | ogra: why rewrite them? | 05:44 |
| ogra | ok, let it be 14 ... still ... | 05:44 |
| ogra | Chipzz, do you have a better opportunity ? | 05:45 |
| Kamion | Chipzz: having to have the KDE libraries on the CD takes up a lot of space | 05:45 |
| Chipzz | ogra: given what I think of kde I have nothing against it | 05:45 |
| Chipzz | just seems like a lot of work? | 05:45 |
| ogra | Chipzz, gaiing 50-100M on the iso is worth it | 05:46 |
| ogra | *ganing | 05:46 |
| ogra | grmbl | 05:46 |

| === Arbiter [n=arbiter@unaffiliated/arbiter] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Chipzz | what are they going to be rewritten in? pygtk? | 05:47 |
| ogra | my problem is that ubuntu fils up its own CDs to the limit ... i have to put stuff on top but dont want to cripple the desktop to much ... | 05:47 |
| Chipzz | Kamion: btw, my ssh issue from earlier disappeared when my uplink got less congested | 05:47 |
| ogra | the kalzium thingie is pygtk/cairo | 05:48 |
| janimo | dholbach: you know if bug-buddy is still active or apport replaces it completely? | 05:48 |
| Chipzz | ogra: finally having a decent gnome-office and not having to put up with openoffice would be a big improvement too I guess | 05:48 |
| ogra | Chipzz, oo.o would be the last thing i'd drop in a school environment | 05:49 |
| Chipzz | abiword and gnumeric are fine replacements IMHO | 05:49 |
| ogra | then i'd rather ask iwj for his desktop setup configs and go with fvwm | 05:49 |
| Chipzz | but that's a matter of taste I guess | 05:49 |
| ogra | its not about replacements or shiny apps ... | 05:50 |
| Chipzz | but I'm getting off-topic and keeping you from doing your job ;) | 05:50 |
| ogra | in schools we need to cope with free windows ... | 05:50 |

| doko | bddebian: pong | 07:35 |
| Kamion | what are the changes? | 07:35 |
| BenC | Kamion: huge | 07:35 |

| BenC | the 686/k7 -> generic name changes | 07:35 |
| Kamion | eek | 07:35 |
| Kamion | that needs installer changes | 07:35 |
| bddebian | doko: Do you have any suggestions for azureus? It looks like you made some fairly significant changes. | 07:35 |

| BenC | Kamion: not really | 07:37 |
| infinity | Kamion: The livefs change is simple enough. | 07:37 |
| BenC | I have lrm, linux-meta and kernel source with this name change ready to upload | 07:37 |
| Kamion | all the consequent changes are simple enough, there are just quite a few of them and I'm not convinced I can remember them all | 07:37 |
| Kamion | and we'll have to basically rebuild everything from the ground up | 07:38 |
| BenC | well, lrm is almost ready, I have to remerge from infinity's uploads :) | 07:38 |
| bddebian | doko: Its not in main now | 07:38 |
| infinity | Kamion: We're still rebuilding the world for the dbus crap anyway. My only concern here is the delay required to build the kernels. | 07:38 |
| BenC | when is knot-2 supposed to be released again? | 07:38 |
| doko | bddebian: sorry, universe; but contrib would be multiverse | 07:38 |
| Simira | infinity: sure | 07:38 |
| Keybuk | BenC: tomorrow | 07:38 |
| Kamion | yeah, but the world there wasn't supposed to include say debian-installer | 07:39 |
| bddebian | doko: Aye. Hmm | 07:39 |
| BenC | ick, it would delay it to probably Friday night at best | 07:39 |
| infinity | BenC: Best to skip the kernel uploads, then? | 07:39 |
| Kamion | doko: we have discretion on that if the Debian package is contrib for reasons that don't apply to us | 07:39 |
| Kamion | e.g. dependencies that we've moved to main/universe | 07:40 |
| infinity | BenC: If you upload right after knot-2, that gives you a couple of weeks to iron out wrinkles and pray for a really solid kernel on knot-3. :) | 07:40 |
| Simira | infinity: he says go | 07:40 |
| BenC | probably best | 07:40 |
| infinity | Simira: Heh, and we seem to have just said "no". :) | 07:40 |
| Simira | just don't break anything | 07:40 |
| Simira | ;) | 07:40 |

| Kamion | BenC: dump it on chinstrap? | 07:42 |
| Kamion | then it can be uploaded right afterwards | 07:43 |
| BenC | Simira: the kernel's job is to find hardware bugs, which may, on occasion require us to implement non-standard code into the cpu/hardware in order to flush out these bugs | 07:43 |
| doko | Kamion: but it doesn't build using main/universe tools. and doesn't run using main/universe tools as provided in unstable | 07:43 |
| Kamion | doko: ok, then it's not so much that the Debian package is contrib, but that when built on Ubuntu that package has to be multiverse :-) | 07:43 |
| infinity | BenC: Yeah, just upload it to chinstrap (signed, even), and any one of us can plonk it on drescher when the release is out. | 07:43 |
| Kamion | doko: I thought you were saying that any package synced from Debian contrib had to stay in multiverse. | 07:44 |

| mjg59 | Seveas: Hi | 07:51 |
| doko | bddebian: I'll send you some URL's tonight | 07:52 |
| Seveas | mjg59, will usplash on ppc do $something_better_than_640x400x16 for edgy | 07:52 |
| bddebian | doko: OK, thx | 07:54 |
| doko | away for the next hour | 07:54 |
| Seveas | I've ripped out run-length encoding and made pngtobogl do 256 color images, which works fine on 386 but ppc still uses bogl | 07:54 |
| mjg59 | Seveas: If someone writes the code, sure | 07:56 |
| Seveas | mjg59, I would if I could but have no ppc to test | 07:56 |
| mjg59 | Seveas: It ought to be trivial to make bogl write a 256 colour value to the framebuffer | 07:56 |
| === lloydinho [n=andreas@p549A6184.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Seveas | mjg59, but it'd still be 640x400, right? | 07:57 |
| mjg59 | Seveas: That's just a matter of adding a modesetting call | 07:57 |
| mjg59 | ppc has proper framebuffers | 07:57 |
| Seveas | right... | 07:57 |
| === Seveas goes ppc hunting | ||
| Seveas | anyway, I'll upload my branch to launchpad later today so you can merge at least this part | 07:58 |
| Seveas | (or the parts of it you like) | 07:58 |
| Kamion | you probably want to just use the mode the framebuffer starts up in | 07:59 |
| Kamion | I think that's generally reasonable | 07:59 |
| Kamion | at present the powerpc code in usplash deliberately centres the image on the screen | 07:59 |
| Kamion | (at least it did when I last wrote any of it) | 07:59 |
| Kamion | all you need to do is just use a bigger image instead | 08:00 |
| Seveas | sounds reasonable, but I don't want to touch the code with a 10-foot pole if I can't test it | 08:00 |
| Kamion | usplash is doing bogl_init() failed for me at present, so ... | 08:00 |
| Kamion | I assumed somebody broke it but haven't got round to figuring out why | 08:00 |
| Kamion | today IIRC it complained about /dev/fb0 not being there; could just be a module loading issue | 08:00 |
| Seveas | Kamion, you can test it while running (at least on x86) by running sudo usplash -c -- /dev/fb0 should be there post-boot | 08:01 |
| Kamion | true, but not while I'm in the middle of taking gparted apart. :) | 08:07 |

| Burgwork | nanday, basically, it boils down to I don't feel comfortable making any statements about those topics because I don't work for canonical. So you need to grab Mark/Jane/somebody else in Canonical's london office. | 08:25 |

| tseng | nanday: I think canonical might provide hosting, but it isnt run by Canonical | 08:28 |
| tseng | nanday: some forum leadership happens to be ubuntu members, not all | 08:28 |
| LaserJock | the forums have their own admins and moderators | 08:29 |
| tseng | nanday: its somewhat disconnected | 08:29 |
| tseng | nanday: (And definately has 0 connection to mjg59 leaving Debian) | 08:29 |
| LaserJock | but I think they still try to abide by the CoC | 08:29 |
| jdong_ | LaserJock: the CoC is strictly enforced at the forums | 08:29 |
| Kamion | I think it depends whether you mean forums as in ubuntuforums.org or in the more general sense of places for Ubuntu discussion | 08:29 |
| Kamion | (including IRC and mailing lists) | 08:29 |
| LaserJock | ah, true | 08:30 |
| LaserJock | I would say though that the CoC is still the common denominator with pretty much all communication in Ubuntu | 08:30 |
| Kamion | most people answering seem to have assumed the former, but that's basically jargon | 08:30 |

| Burgwork | nanday, generally I have found the forums to be very civil | 08:31 |
| jdong_ | we try very hard to keep the forums civil | 08:31 |
| tseng | Burgwork: something to do with more civility in the forums having something to do with a departure from Debian | 08:31 |
| nanday | so, it's more or less a reaction to Debian? | 08:32 |
| Burgwork | tseng, ah, ubuntu is a more civil place in general? hmm, no idea | 08:32 |
| tseng | nanday: a personal decision by one person based on events in debian, clearly spelled out | 08:32 |
| dholbach | nanday: what do you mean? | 08:32 |
| tseng | nanday: the references to ubuntu was tangential | 08:32 |
| nanday | tseng, yes. | 08:33 |
| nanday | but he's not the only one to make a similar comparison. | 08:33 |
| tseng | nanday: it seems like jdong_ can point you to some ubuntuforums.org people if you did indeed mean 'those forums' and want to continue making such a connection | 08:36 |
| jdong_ | I'm an admin at the forums, and I'd be glad to clarify any questions regarding the forums | 08:36 |

| Kamion | *ahem* zeroconf | 08:42 |
| nanday | tseng, good point. | 08:43 |
| tseng | community council is an escalation point for non-tech issues | 08:43 |
| Kamion | it takes a while to get to the techboard sometimes ;) | 08:43 |
| tseng | crucial points. | 08:43 |
| Kamion | but, shrug, you don't want to go to a committee straight away, it gets too bureaucratic | 08:43 |
| tseng | of course not, most things can be worked out civily | 08:43 |
| tseng | just not $shiny_apple_protocol | 08:44 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: to be fair, the zeroconf disucssion, while lively and big was for the biggest part on-topic, civil and somewhat useful. At least I think it didn't evolve into a flamewar. | 08:44 |
| tseng | Mithrandir: alot of repeition ad naseum, but it was certainly civil | 08:44 |

| bluefoxicy | Is anyone interested in compressed memory? | 10:08 |
| bluefoxicy | i.e. memory pressure compresses stuff, then extra memory pressure sends it to swap, possibly avoiding some I/O (the CPU-bound problem is shorter than the I/O-bound problem) | 10:08 |
| === mvo_ [n=egon@p54A6585C.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jdong_ | bluefoxicy: how on earth do you compress RAM | 10:10 |
| bluefoxicy | Nitan's 2.6 patch is almost ready but he thinks it's too much work to get it into mainline; I've recommended he get it working and do some performance measurements and then try to convince a major distribution to use it as backing to convince mainline to take it | 10:10 |
| mjg59 | bluefoxicy: It's being looked at for OLPC | 10:10 |
| jdong_ | that would be a cool concept | 10:11 |
| bluefoxicy | jdong_: when memory pressure is heavy normally pages are sent to swap. This involves a few bits of disk access, seeking back and forth, writing data; then later some seeking and reading again to get it back. | 10:11 |
| jdong_ | right | 10:11 |
| bluefoxicy | the compressed memory project takes the pages going to swap and compresses them | 10:11 |
| mjg59 | bluefoxicy: Of course, while it avoids writes to swap, it also reduces the size of available RAM | 10:11 |
| bluefoxicy | when memory pressure gets tighter, it pushes those pages out to swap | 10:12 |
| jdong_ | oh, I see | 10:12 |
| mjg59 | So you end up compressing more stuff than you would otherwise have pushed out to disk | 10:12 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: of course, there is an effective limit and also memory access patterns affect it. | 10:12 |
| mjg59 | I can imagine it being a win under some workloads and a loss under others | 10:12 |
| mjg59 | But I would certainly be interested in the effect it would have on swapless systems | 10:12 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: you compress least recently used memory; in many cases this memory goes to disk and stays there for a long time. If you have a gig of ram, you may push 400 megs to swap, have 300 megs of disk cache. | 10:13 |
| mjg59 | Where it would be preferable to push some running code out to compressed storage in order to keep more cache | 10:13 |
| mjg59 | bluefoxicy: LRU memory or LRU working set? | 10:13 |
| mjg59 | bluefoxicy: IE, does it discard caches before compressing anything? | 10:13 |
| bluefoxicy | You may find that over the course of days, you have 700 megs of working set in RAM and 400 megs on swap, and the 400 megs for the most part stays there. | 10:13 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: I'm not sure. There is a lot of research behind it, Nitan is at least the third person in line | 10:14 |
| bluefoxicy | Rodrigo was the second (it was his master's dissertation); and he got the idea from Wilson and Kaplan, who also did it for their Ph.D. dissertaitions IIRC | 10:14 |
| mjg59 | I can certainly see "discarding" some running apps in favour of cache as being advantageous for the live cd, for instance | 10:14 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: yes, it'd be great for the livecd | 10:14 |

| zyga | mvo_: do you agree? | 10:16 |
| mjg59 | Playing with it early in the edgy+1 cycle (perhaps at one of the developer conferences) would be good | 10:16 |
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: it's going to be late for edgy definitely; but I don't want to see the work die again. | 10:16 |
| mjg59 | We can easily produce two CD images, one with this and one without | 10:16 |
| bluefoxicy | Rodrigo did it in 2.4.19 and it never went in, even though it worked rather well. | 10:16 |
| mjg59 | And then see how they perform on different machines | 10:16 |
| bluefoxicy | two CDs are not needed. | 10:16 |
| bluefoxicy | Nitan took a different route from Castro; he's made a kernel module. | 10:16 |
| mvo_ | zyga: we could try to raise more interesst in it, my latest bash upload should make it a matter of "apt-get install command-not-found" to activate it | 10:17 |

| bluefoxicy | mjg59: eyeballing some of the stats, looking at http://linuxcompressed.sourceforge.net/linux24-cc/statistics/0.24pre6_kernel/ and http://linuxcompressed.sourceforge.net/linux24-cc/statistics/0.24pre6_mummer/ | 10:23 |
| === mvo__ kicks his wlan card and grumbles that his other one (zd1211) is not working with 2.6.17 | ||
| bluefoxicy | mjg59: I know kernel compilation takes very little memory (as in a few tens, not 500 megs); it looks like as memory gets tighter the benefits are more and more substantial, while when memory is ample the cost/benefit ratio is almost 1:1 (you don't gain, but you don't lose either) | 10:24 |
| thom | zyga: i can't honestly say i ever got auto-apt to play ball | 10:25 |
| === zyga knows how mvo_ feels now | ||
| thom | i didn't try very hard, mind :-) | 10:25 |
| zyga | thom: try cnf from time to time, it's handy IMO | 10:25 |
| thom | zyga: i'd have to use bash then ;-) | 10:25 |
| bluefoxicy | as they do more parallel builds (-j2 and -j4) memory requirements go up and the cost/benefit stays higher for higher amounts of memory. The second one (MUMmer scientific application) needs a LOT of memory and has a high benefit even with hundreds of megs of memory. | 10:25 |
| thom | might see if i can find the spare time to hook up zsh | 10:26 |
| zyga | thom: true, what do you use? | 10:26 |
| zyga | that was my other question | 10:26 |
| zyga | can zsh be hooked up easily? | 10:26 |

| lifeless | I'm going to skip my little tale of trauma from last night, and just ask - can we please get dm-bbr support put back into the dapper kernels ? | 11:34 |
| lifeless | I dont know when it went away, but its lack is rather unfortunate - for me at least | 11:34 |
| jdong|coreduo | lifeless: +1 | 11:35 |
| === jdong|coreduo has asked for it before but didn't make dapper | ||
| lifeless | in other news, building a custom tweaked kernel was hugely painless [except for my laptop being too puny] , so thanks heaps for everything done there | 11:35 |
| sharms | mako: ping | 11:35 |
| lifeless | jdong|coreduo: well it was in before dapper | 11:35 |
| Burgwork | sharms, *laugh*. Good luck. Probably easier to mail him | 11:36 |
| BenC | lifeless: dm-bbr? | 11:36 |
| jdong|coreduo | lifeless: right; it disappeared at dapper.... | 11:36 |
| lifeless | jdong|coreduo: so it had to come out at some point. I know it was in because I setup my evms config *with* dm-bbr during the beta period | 11:36 |
| jdong|coreduo | BenC: device-mapper's bad block relocator | 11:36 |
| lifeless | BenC: do an apt-get source evms | 11:36 |
| BenC | was that an external patch? | 11:36 |
| jdong|coreduo | BenC: it's a part of evms | 11:36 |
| lifeless | BenC: look in kernel/2.6/ | 11:36 |
| jdong|coreduo | at least upstream evms :-/ | 11:36 |
| === RichEd [n=richard@dsl-146-137-155.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| lifeless | jdong|coreduo: its in the dapper evms package | 11:36 |
| lifeless | BenC: yes, its an external patch. | 11:37 |
| jdong|coreduo | BenC: it's pretty important since nowadays filesystem devs aren't thinking bad blocks are their problem anymore | 11:37 |
| lifeless | in fact, as a module, evms could supply the thing | 11:37 |
| jdong|coreduo | lifeless: I don't think the kernel module system ubuntu uses works that way | 11:37 |
| jdong|coreduo | but then again, BenC is the expert on that | 11:37 |
| BenC | lifeless: it would have to have one for each kernel flavour | 11:38 |
| === RichEd [n=richard@dsl-146-137-155.telkomadsl.co.za] has left #ubuntu-devel ["~>] | ||
| lifeless | BenC: well, what ever is easiest for you. For me - I have a disk partition config here that needs it, which I built using dapper's betas. | 11:39 |
| jdong|coreduo | BenC: I got some bad hard drives I'd like to use again :) | 11:39 |
| lifeless | so, if we can get it into dapper updates, it will save me a world of pain | 11:39 |
| lifeless | and it sounds like jdong|coreduo wishes for it too | 11:39 |
| jdong|coreduo | :) | 11:39 |
| BenC | patch applied cleanly | 11:39 |
| BenC | I guess I can add it in with dapper since it doesn't touch any other code | 11:40 |
| jdong|coreduo | wow, today's a REALLY good day | 11:40 |
| jdong|coreduo | and it's not just the vicodin that makes me say that | 11:40 |
| lifeless | BenC: I built a kernel image with it myself last night, as a module, and it let me boot without error [well, it wasn't in the initramfs, but that I know how to fix] | 11:40 |
| lifeless | BenC: thank you !very! much | 11:40 |

| Chipzz | nm | 11:42 |
| lifeless | BenC: while you are there, can you see if the other evms patch is applied ? | 11:42 |
| LaserJock | 2.5beta is in edgy | 11:42 |

| jdong|coreduo | sivang: README.Debian time? :) | 11:43 |
| sivang | jdong|coreduo: probably, but I wanted to know before installing the package from univers , fearing it will just replace stuff :-) | 11:44 |
| jdong|coreduo | installing it appears quite harmless | 11:44 |
| sivang | jdong|coreduo: what do you mean it "slots" ? (please excuse my non en nativeness) | 11:44 |
| zyga | does anyone know how to make a nice hackergothi? | 11:45 |
| jdong|coreduo | it installs things alongside what's in your system already | 11:45 |
| jdong|coreduo | as opposed to replacing | 11:45 |
| jdong|coreduo | sivang: i.e. python2.4 "slots" python2.3; gaim 2.0beta in Edgy "replaces" gaim 1.5.x in Dapper | 11:46 |
