[12:08] <jdub> morning boys and girls
[12:08] <jdub> and mdz
[12:08] <mjg59> Oh, possibly not fontconfig
[12:09] <Nafallo> morning jdub :-)
[12:09] <dholbach> hey jdub
[12:09] <AlinuxOS> hm...great xterm shows the same console font :)
[12:09] <mjg59> AlinuxOS: No, that's the X one
[12:09] <mjg59> Probably unifont
[12:10] <mjg59> AlinuxOS: Ok. Once the new language-selector package hits daily CDs, the install should leave the correct font configuration
[12:10] <AlinuxOS> mjg59, ok so I purge unifont and restart X.
[12:10] <mjg59> AlinuxOS: It currently won't work for upgrades, but I'll get that fixed before release
[12:10] <mdz> AlinuxOS: where can I download that text file you use for testing?
[12:10] <AlinuxOS> mdz just a sec.
[12:10] <mjg59> mdz: Ah! dpkg-reconfigure -plow fontconfig-config
[12:11] <mjg59> That should make unifont available to fontconfig apps

[12:12] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 62849 in unifont "Georgian (ka) letters are very crappy!" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  
[12:13] <AlinuxOS> mdz, I've attached that text file.
[12:13] <jdub> dholbach: you guys totally have to figure out how to get to lca
[12:13] <dholbach> jdub: i hope you tell me once you know how we get there :)
[12:13] <mjg59> dput needs an option that checks my distribution line
[12:13] <AlinuxOS> mjg59, so you've fixed my Georgian issue ? :)
[12:14] <mjg59> AlinuxOS: For new installs, once the package is on the images

[12:14] <ajmitch> hey jdub 
[12:14] <mjg59> mdz: The second is 403
[12:14] <AlinuxOS> so there will be new ttf-bpg-georgian-fonts version 0.3 ?
[12:14] <mdz> fixed
[12:14] <mjg59> AlinuxOS: Yes, but that's not what fixed it
[12:15] <AlinuxOS> http://people.ubuntu.com/~mdz/temp/Screenshot-xterm.png THIS ONE IS SUPER!
[12:15] <jdub> morning ajmitch 
[12:15] <AlinuxOS> mdz, it's really great.
[12:16] <zul> hey ajmitch 
[12:16] <ajmitch> hi zul :)
[12:17] <AlinuxOS> mjg59, I suppose you will use the same fonts that in 0.3 for Debian right ? http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-bpg-georgian-fonts
[12:17] <AlinuxOS> because 0.2contains old(some malformed fonts).
[12:17] <mjg59> AlinuxOS: Yes
[12:18] <AlinuxOS> great ;)
[12:18] <AlinuxOS> ;)
[12:19] <AlinuxOS> mdz, http://people.ubuntu.com/~mdz/temp/Screenshot-xterm.png fonts on this screenshot are really very smart. 
[12:23] <AlinuxOS> mdz, some improvements ? Or important decisions for unifont (or maybe for that misterious font)?
[12:35] <sabdfl> i get asked two questions about keyboard layout on upgrade, is that unavoidable?
[12:35] <sabdfl> am using aptitude to upgrade dapper to edgy, this was on kubuntu but iirc i saw the same on ubuntu
[12:36] <sabdfl> just thought back then that it would not happen at beta
[12:39] <Gman> sabdfl, http://thomas.apestaart.org/log/?p=409 ?
[12:39] <jdub> Gman: debconf questions
[12:39] <Gman> ah
[12:39] <jdub> Gman: not X breakage :)
[12:40] <desrt> isn't the entire purpose of the gnome keyboard settings to allow you to have different settings than the X defaults?
[12:41] <sabdfl> hey hey jdub
[12:48] <Nafallo> are there any reason edgy is still frozen? :-)

[12:57] <bluefoxicy> holy crap, I swapoff -a; swapon -a and it immediately put 36 megs back in swap, with 500 megs of disk cache O_o
[12:57] <gnomefreak> did the beta get released?
[12:57] <Nafallo> gnomefreak: yes

[01:01] <Nafallo> mjg59: hi! reading bug #22336
[01:01] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 22336 in acpi-support "laptop overheats when performing CPU intensive tasks." [High,Confirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/22336
[01:01] <Nafallo> mjg59: seems I don't have anything at all in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ :-P
[01:02] <Nafallo> mjg59: is that normal on current edgy, or has something changed somewhere?
[01:05] <AlinuxOS> mjg59, mdz Thank you and goodnight !
[01:21] <mjg59> Nafallo: Do you have any reason to believe you /should/ have something in thermal_zone?
[01:21] <Nafallo> mjg59: the other guys on the bug report has? :-)
[01:22] <Fujitsu> mjg59, Xorg's i810 is replaced by intel now, is it?
[01:22] <tseng> Fujitsu: i dont believe that is the case
[01:22] <Nafallo> mjg59: and since it seems I got that problem (workaround by using cpu_governor powersave) I though I might want to have something in there ;-)
[01:22] <Fujitsu> It says `X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver'
[01:22] <tseng> there is still the i810 is what video-all depends on
[01:23] <tseng> for now
[01:23] <mjg59> Fujitsu: No
[01:23] <mjg59> Nafallo: Not all machines expose anything
[01:23] <mjg59> If you did in previous versions and don't now, then maybe
[01:24] <Nafallo> mjg59: ah, oki. haven't checked before actually :-).
[01:24] <redcard> Okay.  I'll ask here.  I went Dapper->Edgy Beta , and it held back all the X stuff.  All of it.  X is symlinked to /bin/true.  What I need to do is remove all held packages.  How?
[01:25] <redcard> Or rather, the held status on all held packages.  
[01:25] <Nafallo> woha! someone opened up the archive again :-)
[01:26] <Nafallo> ehm, nm. I think it was just delayed mails finding there way home.
[01:40] <jdong> Nafallo: not all laptops expose their thermal_zones
[01:40] <jdong> Nafallo: some are purely bios/hardware-controlled
[01:40] <jdong> (which frankly I like... less can go wrong in the buggy kernel department)
[01:41] <Nafallo> hm, maybe turning off powernowd and use only ondemand works for me then...
[01:41] <jdong> Nafallo: you still running dapper then?
[01:41] <Nafallo> edgy
[01:41] <jdong> Nafallo: then you should be using ondemand already...
[01:41] <Nafallo> seems just removing powernowd might do it :-P
[01:42] <jdong> Nafallo: if you have a reasonably mobile processor, powernowd passes control over to ondemand automagically
[01:43] <Nafallo> yea, but if it's not needed I might as well remove it :-)
[01:43] <jdong> Nafallo: absolutely. it saves an entire 300KB of valuable disk space :)
[01:44] <Nafallo> :-)
[01:44] <Nafallo> call me a minimalist if you like ;-). I don't like to have unused stuff installed :-P
[01:45] <jdong> I guess the slower seek rate makes the difference, as CFQ is a winner on my desktop
[01:45] <jdong> Kamion: ping
[01:46] <bluefoxicy> jdong:  did you see my mention of LiveCD magics earlier?
[01:46] <jdong> bluefoxicy: no, i didn't
[01:47] <bluefoxicy> jdong:  I'm hoping the layerfs guy will release under LGPL (he's expressed interest in this but didn't know if he had to register somewhere or something) for compressed file systems; but I'm thinking, tmpfs -> layerfs -> compressed ram-backed mount point -> unionfs
[01:47] <orphennui> hi
[01:47] <bluefoxicy> jdong:  that would basically make all the changes written into the tmpfs on the LiveCD compressed, saving RAM space; though I'm not entirely sure how much memory that accounts for normally
[01:47] <jdong> bluefoxicy: that sounds cool
[01:47] <orphennui> i'm getting a report that Gimmie no longer works on ubuntu for some reason.  I haven't seen a bug about this.  Does anyone know what's up?
[01:48] <bluefoxicy> It'd be cool yes; if you use 2M of memory, you're suddenly using 0.8-1.2M (zlib compression)
[01:48] <bluefoxicy> but that's not really that great
[01:48] <Nafallo> jdong: how do I set which one of them to use? (disc-scheduler)
[01:48] <jdong> Nafallo: /sys/block/<device>/queue/scheduler
[01:48] <bluefoxicy> now if we're talking about 10 or 20 megs typically THAT'S interesting... any idea what it takes just to boot and get to desktop?  What it takes to run Ubiquity (does it create temporary files)?
[01:49] <jdong> Nafallo: or system-wide default with kernel parameter elevator={as,cfq,deadline}
[01:49] <Nafallo> jdong: cating that gives me four of them, with []  around cfq. I can just echo with one of the others? :-)
[01:49] <jdong> Nafallo: right, echo one of them to set it
[01:49] <Nafallo> ah, oki. thanks.
[01:50] <Nafallo> nice :-)
[01:51] <jdong> Nafallo: anticipatory will reduce disk seeking, which should increase overall throughput, but could decrease multitasking responsiveness
[01:52] <jdong> Nafallo: so it's appropriate for when you need to keep up streams of disk IO (i.e. cd/dvd burning, file server), but not appropriate for watching your divx'es while performing backups :D
[01:52] <Nafallo> jdong: :-)
[01:53] <jdong> Nafallo: booting a livecd with elevator=as makes it much more responsive while ubiquity grinds away
[01:53] <Nafallo> I should probably use cfq then ;-)
[01:53] <jdong> (which was why I was trying to ping mr. ubiquity)

[03:14] <ajmitch> f-spot problem
[03:14] <ajmitch> it's not doing the import asynchronously
[03:15] <Fujitsu> Hahah.
[03:15] <ajmitch> Fujitsu: sorry?
[03:15] <Fujitsu> It's importing everything synchronously?
[03:16] <Fujitsu> 'cause that's quite a nasty mistake.
[03:18] <ajmitch> something I had to track down, I'm sure it used to be better behaved
[03:29] <sbalneav> Evening all
[03:29] <ajmitch> hi sbalneav 
[04:38] <mjg59> Dear apport:
[04:38] <mjg59> Why does running apt-get source xserver-xorg-core result in apt crashing and you consuming all my CPU?
[04:38] <mjg59> Ah, apt-get update has made things work
[04:39] <infinity> I turned off apport for that reason.
[04:39] <infinity> I was pretty miffed when I was debugging a segv in a 50-line C snippet, and it was taking longer for the thing to segv than it was to compile it.
[04:39] <infinity> (much longer)
[04:40] <infinity> I have a feeling this feature was not really aimed at developers. :)
[04:40] <infinity> Of course, now you get to laugh at me for admitting that I had to look more than once to find the segv in 50 lines of C, but in my defense, it was late and my eyes were crossed.
[04:44] <imbrandon> lol infinity ;P 
[04:44] <imbrandon> happens to us all ;)
[04:59] <mjg59> Oh, now, wait a second
[04:59] <mjg59> apport just *killed my gdb*
[04:59] <mjg59> I am, shall we say, unamused
[05:01] <Fujitsu> apport seems to like doing nasty things like that.
[05:12] <nixternal> any ideas on fixing the "creating/updating hplip user" error?

[08:36] <Burgundavia> not bad
[08:42] <imbrandon> moins pitti and Burgundavia
[08:43] <pitti> hey imbrandon
[09:11] <Keybuk> they should so re-label the left control key to be just "Wake Up"
[09:22] <imbrandon> lol Keybuk 
[09:26] <Keybuk> ok
[09:26] <Keybuk> I am -> <- this close to upgrading my desktop edgy
[09:26] <Keybuk> the buggy-as-shit e-d-s in dapper is annoying the hell out of me
[09:26] <Keybuk> admittedly, it may not be better in edgy, but still
[09:26] <Fujitsu> e-d-s?
[09:26] <HrdwrBoB> evolution data server
[09:26] <Fujitsu> Ah.
[09:27] <Fujitsu> And what is this key dev doing running Dapper, when all the not-so-almight ones are running Edgy? :P
[09:27] <Fujitsu> *almighty
[09:27] <HrdwrBoB> because you want a stable platform as a desktop
[09:27] <Fujitsu> Probably, yeah.
[09:27] <HrdwrBoB> then you have development environments
[09:29] <imbrandon> Keybuk: well beta is as good as time as any to switch
[09:30] <imbrandon> i kept dapper on this laptop untill the other day, and an edgy dev machine for building etc
[09:30] <Keybuk> Fujitsu: I always run the stable release on my desktop, so I can always get work done
[09:30] <Keybuk> I can do builds and testing in a chroot
[09:31] <Fujitsu> Keybuk, but it's no fun having a working system :P
[09:31] <Keybuk> and I always run the development release on my laptop, and make sure that any files are backed up, so I can wipe it and reinstall it at any time without remorse
[09:31] <imbrandon> Keybuk: backport e-d-s ( atleaste for yourself ) ?!?
[09:31] <realist> Is there an Ubuntu equivalent to debootstrap?
[09:31] <Fujitsu> realist, debootstrap
[09:31] <infinity> realist: Yes, debootstrap
[09:31] <Keybuk> imbrandon: that'd involve backporting evolution, and gnome, etc.
[09:31] <imbrandon> realist: debootstrap
[09:31] <Keybuk> and backports are for children
[09:31] <imbrandon> true
[09:31] <Keybuk> it always seems to be calendar related
[09:32] <Keybuk> I can't switch to the calendar in evo, and clicking on the clock makes it hang
[09:32] <infinity> Keybuk: Those bits seem much-improved in edgy.
[09:32] <infinity> Keybuk: Much more responsive anyway, I never did have them outright hang on me in dapper.
[09:33] <Fujitsu> You're right, it's less laggy in Edgy.
[09:33] <janimo> infinity, Kamion: hi, can either of you push yesterdays xubuntu isos as betas or should I wait for tollef?
[09:34] <infinity> janimo: I'd prefer not to push the publish-release button, since this was Tollef and Colin's show.  One or both of them should be around soon, though.
[09:34] <janimo> infinity: ok thanks
[09:35] <Keybuk> infinity: the only other vaguely useful thing is that sometimes, after killing it, it disables my web calendars
[09:35] <Keybuk> so I've wondered if it's unable to deal with them not being available sometime
[09:42] <HrdwrBoB> ah. gg nautilus. 75% icons are HUGE, bigger than 100%
[09:45] <Keybuk> yay beta

[09:45] <Keybuk> "upstart doesn't load fuse module" ... "upstart doesn't display splash screen in correct colours" ... "upstart spilled my coffee"

[09:46] <Fujitsu> This is what we get when we rejig the world.
[09:46] <HrdwrBoB> "upstart stole my baby"
[09:46] <Keybuk> it amuses me that people always file bugs on the one thing they know that changed
[09:47] <imbrandon> hahah sooo true
[09:47] <Keybuk> "I upgraded from dapper to edgy beta, and clearly upstart was the ONLY THING THAT CHANGED"
[09:47] <ajmitch> heh
[09:47] <pitti> Keybuk: well, that and the splash screen
[09:47] <Keybuk> "upstart causes my network card to be not listed in network-manager"
[09:47] <Keybuk> W.T.F.?!
[09:47] <Fujitsu> Keybuk, that's your fault. Obviously.
[09:47] <HiddenWolf> Doh
[09:47] <realist> upstart being the init replacement, right?
[09:48] <Fujitsu> realist, yeah.

[09:51] <Fujitsu> Keybuk, I'd think you would.
[09:51] <Keybuk> of course, this is an upstart bug
[09:51] <ajmitch> Keybuk: very technical description there
[09:51] <Fujitsu> Keybuk, naturally.
[09:52] <Keybuk> oh look

[09:52] <imbrandon> haha
[09:53] <imbrandon> Keybuk, you had some coffee^Wtea^Wmt dew yet today ?
[09:54] <Fujitsu> Keybuk, have you considered writing a quick script to go through all the upstart bugs, reassign them to some other random package, and wait for people to assign the bugs that are actually upstart's fault back to upstart?
[09:54] <Fujitsu> I think that'd work quite well :P
[09:54] <infinity> Keybuk: The really curious question is, if he thought it was a bug in init, why did he bother including dmesg? :P
[09:54] <Keybuk> imbrandon: can't stand guiness
[09:54] <imbrandon> whoop
[09:55] <ajmitch> Keybuk: interesting, what is this usplash bug?

[09:55] <rideout> So, somehow I borked all of python on my edgy system and have pulled out my hair for an hour trying to fix it
[09:56] <ajmitch> infinity: great, so I should hit it on reboot if I'm lucky

[09:57] <Keybuk> infinity: so I understand
[09:57] <Fujitsu> infinity, he /is/ an NZer.
[09:57] <Keybuk> ajmitch: if you do, make sure you have bootchart intalled
[09:57] <ajmitch> hence why I don't reboot this box if I can help it

[09:57] <Keybuk> ajmitch: helps prove the bug
[09:57] <Fujitsu> Keybuk, no, upstart. I can assure you.
[09:58] <rideout> Keybuk: seriously or joking?
[09:58] <Keybuk> rideout: joking
[09:58] <imbrandon> heh
[09:58] <rideout> somehow the modules can't be found when any python program uses "import"
[09:59] <rideout> but there there, and update-python-modules seems to be working
[09:59] <HiddenWolf> Fujitsu: no, you can't shock people for filing bad bugs, that'd be bad karma.
[09:59] <Fujitsu> HiddenWolf, electrocuting people vs. gaining karma... Hm...
[10:00] <HiddenWolf> Fujitsu: you don't want bad karma, you want good karma. ;)
[10:02] <rideout> any thoughts?
[10:07] <lastnode> imbrandon, ping
[10:09] <dholbach> good morning
[10:09] <ajmitch> morning dholbach :)
[10:10] <dholbach> hey ajmitch
[10:11] <ajmitch> Keybuk: your upstart branch appears to miss an nih directory that Makefile.am refers to
[10:12] <Fujitsu> What do these changes do?
[10:12] <ajmitch> selinux policy loading
[10:12] <Keybuk> ajmitch: read HACKING
[10:12] <Keybuk> which tells you where to get that directory from ;)
[10:12] <ajmitch> ah, figures I'd miss something obvious again
[10:13] <Keybuk> interesting ... it seems from reading LKML that Linus actually agrees with my interpretation of the GPL wrt GPL'd shared libraries
[10:14] <Fujitsu> Makes sense.
[10:14] <Fujitsu> You're right about most things, so's he. Of course you should come to the same conclusion.
[10:14] <Keybuk> heh, I'm wrong about a great many things too
[10:17] <Keybuk> Fujitsu: many people are adamant that I'm wrong
[10:17] <Fujitsu> Hey sabdfl.
[10:17] <Fujitsu> Keybuk, is that a surprise? :P
[10:27] <pygi> morning
[10:28] <Fujitsu> Hey pygi.
[10:39] <ajmitch> hi pygi 
[10:40] <pygi> morning ajmitch, Fujitsu :)
[10:41] <Keybuk> "When you run adduser and deluser, did you think it modified /etc/passwd? Well, I did, anyway. But I was wrong! It actually creates a whole new copy of the password file, and then renames it over the top of the old one."
[10:41] <Keybuk> *blink*
[10:41] <Keybuk> well, err, duh
[10:41] <Keybuk> is that not the standard way in which all files are modified? :)
[10:41] <Treenaks> Keybuk: not _all_ files :)
[10:42] <Keybuk> if you don't do it like that, then you don't get an atomic write
[10:42] <pitti> adduser *could* do with appending, too, but deluser?
[10:42] <pitti> hi tkamppeter
[10:42] <Keybuk> pitti: power goes in the middle => corrupt passwd file
[10:42] <pitti> Keybuk: (I know)
[10:42] <Keybuk> at least with fsync();fclose();rename() you know the filesystem will at worst only corrupt the temporary file
[10:42] <realist> Keybuk: hence using "vipw" to edit the /etc/passwd file
[10:42] <Treenaks> Keybuk: so, who wrote this?
[10:43] <Keybuk> Treenaks: gnome dude on their planet
[10:44] <ogra> Keybuk, bug 62861, fuse does the following now (it used to just add fuse to /etc/modules, but that changed in debian)
[10:44] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 62861 in fuse "fuse module not loaded" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/62861
[10:44] <ogra>   if invoke-rc.d udev reload 2>/dev/null; then
[10:44] <ogra>   modprobe --first-time fuse 2>/dev/null ||
[10:44] <ogra>         echo -n add > /sys/class/misc/fuse/uevent
[10:44] <ogra>   fi
[10:44] <ogra> do you think that suffices ?
[10:44] <Keybuk> ogra: uh, that won't do anything after a reboot
[10:44] <ogra> ah, k, i'll add the code from ltspfs to it then ...
[10:45] <Keybuk> he does go on to say an interesting observation about autoconf, etc. though
[10:45] <ogra> i just read your last comments ... 
[10:46] <ogra> oh, that wasnt targeted to me i guess :)
[10:52] <seb128> could somebody help me to debug gdb?
[10:53] <seb128> it segfaults on gaim, rhythmbox, ekiga ...
[10:53] <fabbione> seb128: did you try rebuilding gdb without stack-protector?
[10:54] <fabbione> seb128: i have seen it going crazy recently with threaded apps...
[10:54] <fabbione> not sure if that might be related
[10:54] <seb128> fabbione: I tried stack, I tried 6.5 from upstream too
[10:54] <seb128> grumpf
[10:54] <seb128> fabbione: I tried *that*, I tried 6.5 from upstream too
[10:54] <pitti> dapper's 6.4 was much better, wasn't it?
[10:54] <fabbione> hmm
[10:54] <pitti> . o O { maybe we shoud rollback to that stable version instead of our 6.5 beta)
[10:55] <seb128> pitti: it worked
[10:55] <fabbione> seb128: can you try to build a very simple test case?
[10:55] <Keybuk> seb128: I can't even get gdb to work at the moment
[10:55] <Keybuk> I was going to beat doko or pitti up about it
[10:55] <fabbione> like hello.c and see if it segfaults there too?
[10:55] <Keybuk> it just claims "unable to read stack frame" or something
[10:55] <Keybuk> like, gee, helpful
[10:55] <seb128> gdb works fine on most of apps
[10:55] <seb128> not on gaim, rhythmbox, ekiga though
[10:55] <pitti> Keybuk: of the topmost function? yeah, I noticed that, too, a pretty recent regression
[10:55] <seb128> an valgrind doesn't work on multithreaded programs neither
[10:56] <seb128> "valgrind: m_debuginfo/storage.c:311 (vgModuleLocal_addDiCfSI): Assertion 'cfsi->len > 0 && cfsi->len < 2000000' failed."
[10:56] <seb128> that starts being pretty annoying to do debug on edgy
[10:56] <pitti> seb128: 'it worked' -> with 6.5 final or no SSP you don't get the crashes?
[10:56] <seb128> no
[10:56] <seb128> it worked with dapper
[10:56] <pitti> ah, right
[10:57] <seb128> no luck on edgy, with or without ssp, with current edgy or 6.5 upstream
[10:57] <seb128> I'll try build to install the dapper package
[10:57] <pitti> an interesting test would be to build 6.4 on edgy
[10:57] <seb128> I think I tried some time ago, was not working neither
[10:57] <pitti> I'm not entirely convinced that it is a gdb problem
[10:57] <pitti> our gdb didn't change in ages, and when I wrote the pkg-create-dbgsym test suite we alread had it
[10:57] <seb128> I'm pretty convinced it's not
[10:58] <seb128> I tried the dapper deb some time ago
[10:58] <pitti> still I only noticed the test suite failure due to gdb regression recently
[10:58] <seb128> and it was not crashing but not working neither
[10:58] <pitti> so 6.4.90 built on dapper is likely to work
[10:59] <seb128> "thread_db_get_info: cannot get thread info: generic error"
[10:59] <seb128> the dapper version does that
[10:59] <seb128> that's already what it was doing when I tried some time ago
[11:00] <seb128> so that's not coming from gdb itself
[11:00] <seb128> that package works fine on dapper
[11:01] <seb128> http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2006-09/msg00059.html
[11:01] <pitti> nice - apport runtime reduced from 25 s to 0.7 s for a test bash crash
[11:02] <seb128> waouh
[11:02] <seb128> how did you do that?
[11:02] <pitti> seb128: several optimizations and shifting many expensive bits to apport-gtk
[11:02] <pitti> tfheen: I alread had heuristic optimizations for that before
[11:03] <pitti> tfheen: if the binary name is a substring of the package name, or vice versa, finding the package is quite fast
[11:07] <Keybuk> LOL @ http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&q=Germany&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=48.857699,10.205451&spn=0.002404,0.006738&om=1
[11:07] <pitti> Keybuk: the bug invasion?
[11:07] <Keybuk> yeah
[11:10] <pitti> seb128: well, and for firefox I still get a respectable 3:30 mins -> 30 seconds
[11:10] <mvo> mjg59: hi! thanks for your language-selector upload. could you send me a debdiff please so that I can put it into my bzr tree? the upload is still in the unapproved queue
[11:10] <pitti> seb128: (ugh, I should have tested that on my slow laptop much earlier...)
[11:12] <pitti> ok, changing from laptop to desktop, brb
[11:13] <mjg59> mvo: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/language-selector.debdiff
[11:13] <mvo> mjg59: thanks!
[11:17] <ogra> pitti, according to a support request the bug in the autosink was already introduced in a dapper upgrade ...
[11:18] <ogra> (the one with LTSP)
[11:18] <mjg59> mvo: Did you get my bug about fontconfig-voodoo?
[11:18] <mvo> mjg59: I'm behind on bugs currently, let me have a look
[11:19] <seb128> re
[11:19] <seb128> I hate whatever DoS my desktop when an app crash
[11:19] <seb128> either the linux patch or appport
[11:19] <mvo> mjg59: right, got it and it is indeed a problem
[11:19] <tfheen> seb128: just fix the bugs (or turn off apport?)
[11:19] <seb128> I got my amd64 frozon for 10 minuts after gdb crash
[11:21] <seb128> tfheen: I would be happy to fix bugs, having gdb or valgrind working would help for that :p
[11:21] <mvo> seb128: apt-get install gdb ;) 
[11:21] <seb128> mvo: did you read that chan the previous half an hour? :p
[11:22] <seb128> mvo: gdb segfautls on ekiga, rhythmbox, gaim, etc
[11:22] <seb128> mvo: you just stepped to help me to fix it apparently, thank you ;)
[11:22] <mvo> nay, some of the conversation had the words "problem", "error" and "segfault" in it and I blend that out automatically 
[11:23] <pitti> seb128: for that I'm afraid I have to sacrifice the 'sort coredump to the end' fix
[11:23] <tfheen> seb128: works for me on amd64.
[11:23] <seb128> pitti: why?
[11:23] <seb128> tfheen: valgrind?
[11:23] <tfheen> seb128: gdb
[11:23] <tfheen> valgrind blows up
[11:23] <pitti> seb128: otherwise apport-gtk had to write the whole report file again; apart from performance issues, this also bears some other difficulties
[11:24] <seb128> tfheen: do you have a jabber account?
[11:24] <seb128> tfheen: you are to my list, could you go online, I'll send you a file
[11:25] <seb128> tfheen: it makes gaim crash, it crashes gdb too for me and dholbach (and pitti IIRC)
[11:25] <seb128> tfheen: if it works fine for you I'm happy to get the bt for it, other way you can confirm that gdb crashes
[11:25] <dholbach> tfheen: did you manage to capture the crash in gdb?
[11:25] <seb128> dholbach: he just said he has no crash
[11:25] <dholbach> ok, that's why gdb is happy
[11:26] <tfheen> "gdb valgrind ekiga" seems happy here.
[11:26] <tfheen> (or rather --args ekiga)
[11:26] <seb128> tfheen: attach gdb to gaim before accepting ;)
[11:27] <tfheen> seb128: it probably doesn't work from here because of my nice network setup.
[11:27] <seb128> ddc, etc don't work usually for me due to masquerading
[11:27] <seb128> but jabber transferts seem to work
[11:27] <tfheen> I'm on wireless too, so unless it does in-band, it won't work.
[11:28] <seb128> hum, k
[11:28] <tfheen> seb128: ok, try again
[11:29] <tfheen> Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
[11:29] <seb128> k
[11:29] <seb128> and gdb did crash with it?
[11:29] <tfheen> I guess I should really install the gaim-dbg package too?
[11:30] <tfheen> no, gdb is happy as can be
[11:30] <seb128> would be better yep
[11:32] <tfheen> seb128: ok, doit.
[11:33] <seb128> tfheen: done
[11:33] <tfheen> seb128: http://rafb.net/paste/results/XOdBHk29.html
[11:33] <tfheen> is the backtrace
[11:33] <tfheen> gdb is happy still
[11:34] <seb128> k, so it's doesn't happen to everybody
[11:34] <seb128> thank you for the bt, will update the bug about it with that ;)
[11:34] <tfheen> np; tell me if there's anything more you need
[11:34] <seb128> fixing valgrind on amd64 would be nice :p
[11:35] <tfheen> I'm still not really well, so I'm not really working today.
[11:35] <seb128> tfheen: don't worry, it's broken for some time and that's not really something useful to average user, no hurry for it
[11:36] <seb128> tfheen: better to take care of yourself today, you deserve it after the beta rush ;)
[11:39] <pitti> seb128: apport writes the core dump, and apport-gtk adds packaging/os/gdb information; apport-gtk can only append to the report or completely rewrite it, not insert new stuff in between
[11:41] <seb128> pitti: maybe we should make "crash file without coredump" the default?
[11:41] <seb128> pitti: because my browser chockes every time I click on a crash file from a bug
[11:41] <seb128> and we don't do anything with the coredump atm anyway
[11:45] <pitti> seb128: well, we need it to get better stack traces
[11:46] <seb128> pitti: can we get better straces with it atm?
[11:46] <pitti> seb128: I'll update apport-retrace soon to download ddebs automatically on request
[11:46] <seb128> right, but that's client side
[11:46] <pitti> seb128: I'd rather solve that problem by changing the extension or something so that ffox defaults to downloading the file instead of displaying it
[11:47] <seb128> I mean do we need to coredump on the bug page?
[11:47] <seb128> usually I want a quick look at the bt
[11:47] <pitti> seb128: well, it might be useful to debug the problem
[11:47] <seb128> I don't want to download 10M for that
[11:47] <pitti> seb128: hm
[11:47] <seb128> I mean the coredump is useful
[11:47] <pitti> seb128: apport-retrace offers to remove the core dump from the report
[11:48] <seb128> but most of the time I quick lock the bt to mark as dup
[11:48] <pitti> seb128: so as soon as we have automatic processing of these reports, that'll be solved
[11:48] <seb128> s/lock/look
[11:48] <Kamion> elmo: cdimage size should be saner now
[11:48] <seb128> right
[11:48] <pitti> seb128: but I'm afraid I don't have a truly quick solutino
[11:48] <pitti> seb128: let's talk about it in 30 mins or so, I need some food
[11:48] <seb128> sure
[11:49] <Kamion> sabdfl: the questions on upgrade are a console-setup bug, which I thought I'd fixed
[11:50] <Kamion> sabdfl: assuming they were asking you for keyboard layout and variant respectively
[11:51] <Kamion> sabdfl: perhaps you could file a bug on console-setup and attach the output of 'echo GET debian-installer/keymap | sudo debconf-communicate', 'sudo debconf-show console-setup', and the contents of /etc/default/console-setup
[11:51] <Kamion> you might still get a question if this is a system that has been upgraded continuously from a fresh Debian woody install all the way to edgy, though
[11:52] <Kamion> (in which case debian-installer/keymap won't be set)
[11:59] <lfittl> hrmm, something weird happened with compiz-plugins 0.5-0ubuntu4, it is listed on my Packages package as built sucessfully, but nowhere else in launchpad (no buildlogs, ..)
[11:59] <tfheen> Kamion: that might be why I saw it, since one of my systems is really a slackware '96 installation slightly mangled over the years.
[12:08] <pitti> seb128: re
[12:08] <seb128> pitti: wb
[12:09] <pitti> seb128: and the current sort order helps you for that, and ffox does not choke?
[12:10] <seb128> pitti: I can click on the "stop" button after a few sec 
[12:10] <pitti> ok
[12:10] <seb128> pitti: so it doesn't load the whole crash file
[12:10] <pitti> seb128: alright, let me think about that problem
[12:10] <pitti> seb128: I can load, modify, and rewrite the complete report; it takes *much* longer for the user, but so be it
[12:10] <Kamion> tfheen: ha
[12:11] <seb128> pitti: no no, nothing taking much longer
[12:11] <Kamion> lfittl: I only shunted it through unapproved very recently; I'm surprised it built
[12:11] <doko_> Kamion: the queue remains in manual mode for main?
[12:11] <seb128> pitti: I can cope with downloading the coredump if that reduces crash generation and makes better user experience
[12:11] <Kamion> lfittl: although looking more closely there appear to have been two copies of the same version there
[12:11] <pitti> seb128: (appending one kb of packaging info to a ffox crash report is super-fast, rewriting it isn't)
[12:11] <seb128> pitti: k, keep it the fast way then
[12:12] <Kamion> doko_: yes, mdz wants to leave it that way for a while (a day or so) to let the mirrors concentrate on serving the beta
[12:12] <pitti> seb128: I'll think about it; if I don't find a robust way to rewrite it without unpacking/packing the core dump, I'll just append
[12:13] <seb128> ok, thank you
[12:13] <lfittl> Kamion: yep, the version slomo uploaded and mine, but we agreed mine is better (fixes the problem by using shlibs instead of hardcoding it), should I do anything to get this into the archive?
[12:13] <Kamion> lfittl: check what source package actually landed in the archive; if it's slomo's, you should supersede it with another upload
[12:13] <Kamion> lfittl: in general you should try to avoid two uploads with the same version number - it's confusing for everyone
[12:14] <lfittl> Kamion: it wasn't intended, just coincidence ;)
[12:15] <Kamion> o
[12:15] <Kamion> ok
[12:15] <lfittl> Kamion: hmm, the archive has no source package of this version, only the old one
[12:15] <Kamion> doko_: if there's something that's urgent, I can accept it
[12:15] <Kamion> lfittl: it will still be publishing; wait about 30 minutes
[12:16] <lfittl> Kamion: ok, and if I reupload then, I should use a new version number, right?
[12:17] <Kamion> lfittl: absolutely
[12:17] <lfittl> Kamion: good, thanks for your help
[12:17] <Kamion> version numbers are cheap; you don't need to conserve them
[12:17] <Kamion> at this point, an upload with the same version number would be rejected, anyway
[12:18] <Kamion> it's a soyuz bug that one of your uploads wasn't rejected earlier
[12:21] <doko_> Kamion: java-gcj-compat would be nice as a prerequisite of the next OOo; axis and wsdl4j in NEW are required for tomcat5.5, which is then required by eclipse (not sure if Keybuk did look at these two); you could reject the pending python2.4 upload, it will be superseeded by a followup upload anyway
[12:32] <Keybuk> Kamion: what's the policy on uploads currently, btw?
[12:32] <Keybuk> I see everything is still getting tipped into unapproved
[12:33] <Kamion> doko_: java-gcj-compat accepted, python2.4 rejected
[12:33] <Kamion> Keybuk: 11:12 < Kamion> doko_: yes, mdz wants to leave it that way for a while (a day or so) to let the mirrors concentrate on serving the beta
[12:33] <Keybuk> ok
[12:33] <Kamion> we're back to feature freeze though - it's purely an administrative thing at this point
[12:33] <Keybuk> *nods*
[12:40] <seb128> re
[12:40] <seb128> another 15min of DoS after gdb crash, next time I stop apport before :p
[12:41] <pitti> seb128: yeah, yeah, I'm working on it :-P
[12:41] <seb128> I don't get why the load goes over 10 though
[12:41] <pitti> seb128: (I hope 15 min was just a metaphoric overstatement)
[12:41] <seb128> I've nothing against it working
[12:42] <seb128> but the mouse cursor jumping every few sec and the box not usuable is no fun
[12:42] <Kamion> pitti: I'll work on the openssh DoS in edgy if you like
[12:42] <Kamion> unless you're already on it; I hadn't seen anything
[12:42] <pitti> Kamion: oh, I appreciate that
[12:42] <seb128> pitti: no, I went away from the computer for 10min and it was still not responding, and that's an amd64 with 1Go of RAM and a fast disk
[12:42] <pitti> Kamion: no, I didn't start on it yet
[12:43] <Kamion> I'm upgrading Debian to 4.4p1 nowish
[12:43] <Kamion> I think edgy should just be patched though
[12:43] <pitti> Kamion: yeah, we need the patches anyway for stables
[12:44] <pitti> Kamion: do you have the three CVEs?
[12:44] <Kamion> oh, uh, can't do Debian yet because there isn't an updated GSSAPI patch yet
[12:44] <Kamion> meh, will just have to patch it
[12:45] <Kamion> pitti: CVE-2006-4924 is the only one I have
[12:46] <pitti> Kamion: 'unsafe signal hander': CVE-2006-5051, 'authentication abort': CVE-2006-5052
[12:47] <pitti> Kamion: in the 'security fixes' section of the announcement (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=115939141729160&w=2)
[12:47] <pitti> Kamion: I have a patch for CVE-2006-5051 in my mailbox, if you need it
[12:49] <Kamion> pitti: I'll grab them from upstream CVS, but if you can forward what you have to me, that would be good
[12:49] <Kamion> then I can compare them
[12:51] <seb128> pitti: the DoS doesn't seem to be due to apport itself, that's just a "not enough swap available" issue
[12:54] <pitti> Kamion: mailed you info about 5051, /msg'ed you cvs links for CVE-2006-4924
[12:55] <elmo> Kamion: thanks
[12:57] <janimo> seb128: hi, what is the plan re python-gnome2?
[12:58] <Kamion> pitti: thanks
[12:58] <Kamion> janimo: published xubuntu beta
[12:59] <janimo> Kamion: saw it, thanks
[01:01] <fabbione> Kamion: i uploaded cpio to dapper-updates, up to you when you want to unleash it for sfllaw

[01:23] <Riddell> tfheen, Kamion: are uploads to main still blocked?
[01:25] <tfheen> Riddell: yes, waiting for mirrors to ride off the initial load and such.
[01:25] <StevenK> tfheen: What's with the non-Mithrandir nick?
[01:26] <tfheen> StevenK: vawad (my usual machine) is behind a really stupid NAT ATM, so I can IRC off it.  Mith will be back once that's fixed.
[01:32] <HiddenWolf> tfheen: well, torrent is under hardly any load at all at the moment, how bad can the mirrors be doing. :)
[01:33] <tfheen> HiddenWolf: *shrug*; mdz wanted it that way, I'm not going to argue
[01:33] <HiddenWolf> :)
[01:33] <HiddenWolf> wise policy
[01:34] <tfheen> it's not like it really matters that much either.
[01:45] <tkamppeter> hi pitti
[01:50] <heno> tfheen: hello!
[01:51] <tfheen> heno: how's the new place coming together?
[01:52] <heno> tfheen: ok, slowly. Since I started work again this week I haven't done much in the house :)
[01:52] <heno> Most of my stuff will get here in about 2 weeks
[01:52] <tfheen> heno: I knew I shouldn't have fixed your DSL, then. ;-)
[01:52] <heno> heh
[01:58] <slomo__> tfheen, Kamion: hm are my dbus/libnotify/notification-daemon uploads lost somewhere or just not approved yet?
[01:58] <tfheen> slomo__: edgy is still frozen, it'll be thawed in a couple of hours
[01:59] <slomo__> tfheen: oh sorry for uploading them then... i thought with the beta release it was officially unfrozen :(
[02:00] <tfheen> slomo__: well, it's just frozen in LP, we're past beta release so anything uploaded while it's frozen will be accepted in a bit.
[02:00] <elmo> Kamion: did you see the  discussion mdz and I had last night about torrents?
[02:09] <janimo> seb128: hi
[02:09] <seb128> janimo: Hi
[02:10] <janimo> seb128: how do you propose we get on with python-gnome, now we are past beta?
[02:11] <seb128> janimo: I'm busy with other things atm, I'll do that later when archive is unfrozen
[02:12] <janimo> seb128: I did not mean that you upload now of course, just pinged as a remainder
[02:12] <janimo> thanks
[02:12] <seb128> janimo: np ;)
[02:31] <bddebian> Howdy folks
[02:32] <pygi> bddebian: and hi again :P
[02:32] <bddebian> Sheesh :-)
[02:35] <heno> doko: when it try to upgrade with the source list entries you sent I end up with a new openoffice.org-java-common and a few other things, but all of openoffice gets held back. Is that as expected or should I force it through?
[02:36] <heno> *when I try
[02:40] <heno> eh, nevermind. It seems to be installing now
[02:44] <sfllaw> fabbione: Just saw my name.

[02:52] <sandy> help
[02:54] <desrt> sandy; seriously wrong channel.  ask in #ubuntu.
[02:55] <sandy> #ubuntu ?

[02:57] <sandy> thanks
[02:57] <sandy> bye
[03:10] <dholbach> doko_, heno: nice that ooo seems fixed wrt a11y
[03:11] <doko_> dholbach: it is?
[03:11] <dholbach> doko_: at least heno wasn't able to reproduce it
[03:11] <doko_> ahh, I see. heno, cool!
[03:12] <doko_> heno: pulled some FC patches
[03:12] <dholbach> doko_: how did you fix it?
[03:12] <dholbach> ahhh nice
[03:13] <dholbach> heno: now we only need to fix the gnometerminal-tab-weirdness and the evolution crasher (with a11y enabled)
[03:15] <doko_> heno: btw, you are able to enable the hicontrast icons in OOo, but just manually
[03:16] <doko_> heno: and with the new packages only, if you have the openoffice.org-style-hicontrast package installed.
[03:20] <dholbach> doko_: how many icons are in that package?
[03:21] <doko_> $ unzip -v /usr/lib/openoffice/share/config/images_hicontrast.zip | wc -l
[03:21] <doko_> 7509
[03:21] <Riddell> Keybuk: please give back ruby1.9 on ppc
[03:21] <dholbach> wow
[03:21] <dholbach> doko_: then I didn't have them all installed
[03:21] <dholbach> doko_: those are not the usr/share/icons/locolor icons?
[03:22] <Keybuk> Riddell: is the bug fixed?
[03:22] <Riddell> Keybuk: yes
[03:22] <Keybuk> ok
[03:22] <doko_> dholbach: no, there are no locolor icons
[03:24] <Kamion> elmo: I've removed knot-3 from torrent.u.c; anything else I need to remove?
[03:25] <elmo> Kamion: mdz was suggesting we remove hoary, dvd's, source and dailies too *shrug*
[03:28] <Kamion> hoary should go, the rest will come right back with the next daily build and I'm not keen on removing them because if I do I'll be deluged with people asking me why they're missing
[03:29] <Kamion> killed hoary
[03:30] <pitti> seb128: ok, I'm rewriting the full report now; I need to load the core dump anyway for doing the backtraces, so it's not that much overhead
[03:31] <pitti> seb128: IOW, CoreDump will be at the very end, as usual
[03:31] <seb128> pitti: cool
[03:40] <ogra> mjg59, there is a ipw2200 version you have to run with ndiswrapper ? 
[03:41] <Keybuk> ogra: some people seem to use ndiswrapper for drivers that are better supported under Linux than they are under Windows!
[03:41] <ogra> (someone just told me his card isnt supported by the driver we ship ?)
[03:42] <ogra> Keybuk, but i cant imagine that there is a ipw2200 based card that doesnt work at all with our (intels) drive 
[03:42] <ogra> r
[03:42] <Treenaks> ogra: there's another chip, called 'ipn2200'
[03:43] <Treenaks> ogra: that's completely not ipw2200.. the names are just very much alike
[03:43] <ogra> thast not from intel, is it ? 
[03:43] <Treenaks> ogra: not intel, indeed
[03:43] <ogra> i think i have such a card around on a broken lappie here, it was never supported ... not even with ndiswrapper
[03:44] <janimo> Kamion,  bug 48047 , it seems to be ok for 6.06 but now 6.06.1 has the issue
[03:44] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 48047 in xubuntu-meta "wrong jigdo files" [Medium,Confirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/48047
[03:44] <janimo> I don't use jigdo but by the look of the files seems there's something wrong there
[03:46] <sabdfl> does mercurial 0.9.1 *really* depend on python 2.5?
[03:47] <_ion> When Malone says someone is the "creator" of a package that has been automatically synced from Debian without changes (e.g. bddebian with preload), exactly what does that mean?
[03:47] <Kamion> _ion: "creator" is the person who appeared in the Changed-By field in the .changes file
[03:48] <Kamion> it's a terrible name, should be "uploader" (I filed a bug ages ago)
[03:48] <Kamion> or "last changed by"
[03:48] <Kamion> _ion: for syncs, it's the person who requested the sync
[03:48] <_ion> Ok, thanks.
[03:48] <Kamion> so we do sync-source -b kamion foo, which creates foo_VERSION_source.changes with Changed-By: Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>
[03:48] <Kamion> (say)
[03:49] <janimo> sabdfl: unlikely as in debian is deps on python <<2.5
[03:49] <sabdfl> pls can we fix that package then?
[03:49] <Kamion> maybe it picks the highest of pyversions or something
[03:49] <sabdfl> should i file a bug and assign to... was uploaded by motu
[03:50] <Kamion> sabdfl: it was a sync
[03:50] <janimo> Kamion: the depends line has both 2.4 and 2.5
[03:50] <doko_> Kamion, Keybuk: please ack the binary wsdl4j in NEW, and icu4j source
[03:50] <sabdfl> aptitude wants to pull in 2.5
[03:50] <doko_> janimo: package?
[03:50] <Kamion> janimo: it also has python2.5
[03:50] <janimo> doko_ mercurial
[03:50] <Kamion> (but not python2.4)
[03:50] <doko_> janimo: looking
[03:50] <Kamion> janimo: thanks, checking now
[03:50] <janimo> doko_: actually not both... just python2.5
[03:50] <janimo> and also python >=2.4
[03:57] <heno> doko_, dholbach: yep, ooo seems good now. I'll play with the icons next
[03:58] <heno> and keep using ooo with at-spi turned on and see if anything pops up
[04:00] <mhb> hello
[04:00] <Kamion> janimo: fixed, thanks
[04:00] <mhb> I've attached a fix to this bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-firefox-locale-all/+bug/61875 but someone has to commit it, I guess

[04:01] <janimo> Kamion: thanks
[04:02] <mhb> can someone tell me what should I do next, whom should I contact?
[04:06] <lucas> infinity: there was a lot of ruby-related build failures on powerpc which should be fixed now, but they need to be re-queued.
[04:08] <tfheen> lucas: do you have a list of packages?
[04:09] <lucas> tfheen: no. some of them are on https://launchpad.net/people/lucas/+packages, but all packages which aren't arch: all that transitively build-dep on ruby are affected
[04:09] <lucas> (on ppc only)
[04:10] <lucas> I mailed infinity three or four times over the last months about those ruby build problems on ppc, but it was only fixed recently by Riddell
[04:11] <tfheen> given that ruby itself failed to build, that's not very surprising
[04:12] <Kamion> doko_: wsdl4j/icu4j done
[04:12] <Kamion> lucas: it was a kernel bug (or at least it was fixed by upgrading the kernel on davis) - it wasn't something that repeatedly mailing somebody was necessarily likely to solve
[04:12] <elmo> lucas: it wasn't fixed by Riddell, the root cause was diagnosed by BenC (after several others had tried), and it wasn't exactly obvious, there's no point repeatedly complaining about it
[04:13] <tfheen> lucas: anyway, *ruby* which ftbfs-ed given back.  Please do tell me if there are more packages.
[04:14] <lucas> I probably mailed him about once a month, never got any answer from him, I wouldn't call that "repeatedly complaining".
[04:15] <Kamion> lucas: it wasn't something infinity could particularly easily fix; such things often end up sitting in people's queues if they think they *might* be able to figure it out in the futre
[04:15] <elmo> lucas: the complaining I'm talking about is how you keep banging on about how you've mailed Adam
[04:16] <mjg59> ogra: No
[04:17] <lucas> Kamion,elmo: maybe we need another way to track buildd problems then. Is there a way to submit bugs on malone about such problems ?
[04:17] <doko_> janimo: uploaded
[04:18] <elmo> lucas: it wasn't a buildd problem
[04:18] <elmo> it was a kernel problem
[04:18] <BenC> no, it was a ruby problem
[04:18] <elmo> (which btw, makes all "I don't have access to the buildds -> I can't debug it" claims bunk)
[04:18] <elmo> BenC: ok, that works too ;-)
[04:18] <BenC> it's triggered by differences in the kernels
[04:19] <Kamion> lucas: "won't build" is a perfectly normal bug report against the package in question
[04:19] <BenC> benh did a code audit of ruby and called it horrid crud :)
[04:19] <BenC> or something along those lines
[04:19] <pitti> Hi BenC 
[04:19] <Kamion> BenC: out of curiosity, what was the bug in ruby?
[04:19] <lucas> elmo: not being able to reproduce it myself is still a problem
[04:19] <BenC> Kamion: you were on the rigth track
[04:19] <Kamion> I got as far as determining that it was something to do with threading and gave up in despair
[04:20] <lucas> Kamion: won't build + assign to who ?
[04:20] <Kamion> lucas: in general you shouldn't be assigning bugs to people unless you're their manager
[04:20] <BenC> racy locking and such
[04:20] <elmo> lucas: anyone with access to a powerpc could have reproduced it
[04:20] <Kamion> or in a similar position of being able to instruct them to fix it
[04:20] <BenC> pitti: hey
[04:20] <lucas> Kamion: s/who/which team/ ?
[04:20] <Kamion> lucas: don't
[04:20] <Kamion> leave it assigned to nobody unless you know that somebody is actually working on it
[04:20] <Kamion> fictitious assignments are a pain
[04:21] <pitti> BenC: I'm a bit puzzled about bug 62972

[04:21] <pitti> BenC: IIRC apport should not remove core dumps, or shall it?
[04:22] <BenC> pitti: is this new?
[04:22] <pitti> BenC: I noticed core files laying around since only recently
[04:22] <pitti> BenC: since -8 or -10 (I never used -9 since it didn't boot)
[04:23] <pitti> BenC: and since my home dir gets an automatic backup, I'll notice unusual size increasing quite fast
[04:23] <BenC> pitti: damnit...ok, need to check on that
[04:23] <BenC> pitti: I'll mark this bug for release, and high
[04:24] <pitti> I already did
[04:24] <BenC> heh, already done :)

[06:15] <`anthony> in case anyone cares - I was trying to upgrade the python dapper buildbot to edgy, but it fails with E: Couldn't configure pre-depend python-gtk2 for gnome-app-install, probably a dependency cycle.
[06:15] <`anthony> will try again in a couple of days, I guess...
[06:19] <Kamion> mvo: why's the Pre-Depends: python-gtk2 that `anthony mentioned in gnome-app-install?
[06:20] <Kamion> that's going to complicate upgrades a lot, surely, with the python2.4-* -> python-* transition in there as well
[06:20] <`anthony> if by "complicate" you mean "break", then yes :)
[06:20] <Kamion> mvo: gnome-app-install doesn't have a preinst, so ...
[06:20] <Kamion> `anthony: well, possibly changes elsewhere could make it not break, but it would still be very complicated
[06:21] <`anthony> I want to switch the buildbot to edgy because it acts as both a test for edgy and a test for python.
[06:21] <`anthony> it also runs with the intel C compiler instead of gcc, just to throw additional fun into the mix :)

[06:23] <Kamion> mvo: oh, unless there's a dependency loop in there, in which case postinst ordering would be random
[06:23] <`anthony> worth logging a lunchpad bug about it, or do people not care at this point about upgrades?
[06:23] <jdong> I am about to have evolution fetch 6000 messages via POP (400MB).... is this going to work?
[06:24] <Kamion> `anthony: I've reopened the bug abve
[06:25] <Kamion> above
[06:26] <`anthony> ah - just read far enough down in the bug report. yeah, that looks like the problem. wah
[06:27] <`anthony> well, removing gnome-app-install lets the upgrade proceed, at least. I'll add it back afterwards
[06:27] <`anthony> now that 2.5 is done, it's time for buildbot maintenance. yay.
[06:29] <`anthony> don't know if there's any value to having a saved virtual machine of dapper, and an automated test that tries to upgrade it to edgy...
[06:29] <mdz> morning folks
[06:30] <mdz> Kamion: I didn't suggest removing dvd torrents, but the existing dailies and source
[06:30] <Kamion> that will only have any effect for about a day until we turn the dailies back on. Is it really worth it?
[06:30] <Kamion> it would be much better to improve the torrent.u.c UI
[06:31] <Kamion> (people do torrent the dailies)
[06:32] <Kamion> I'll remove the source, I guess - probably not enough people torrent that for it to be worth it
[06:32] <Kamion> oh, except that it's already gone
[06:32] <Kamion> I guess that was for old releases or someting
[06:32] <Kamion> something
[06:33] <Kamion> elmo: you might need to restart the tracker to pick up the fact that I removed a bunch of stuff?
[06:34] <Kamion> mdz: when do you want to thaw edgy? I've been letting the odd thing through unapproved that people need, but not everything
[06:35] <elmo> Kamion: it gets restarted on triggers, I think
[06:35] <`anthony> should I log other upgrade-blocking bugs?
[06:35] <Kamion> elmo: I've definitely triggered since removing some of those files
[06:35] <Kamion> `anthony: yes please
[06:35] <tfheen> mdz: I've poked *Process a bit and will continue to do so over the next week or so.  The basis looks good to me; I'm sure we need to go through it at least once to check that it's good, though.
[06:35] <`anthony> e.g. there was an "opera" symlink in /usr/X11R6/bin that blocked xorg-common. 
[06:35] <`anthony> Ok dokey
[06:35] <mdz> Kamion: today
[06:36] <mdz> Kamion: (cf BetaProcess)
[06:36] <`anthony> x11-common, I meant. sigh
[06:36] <Kamion> oh, yes, I've been meaning to read that
[06:36] <Kamion> mdz: so, say, now? :)
[06:37] <mdz> Kamion: sure
[06:37] <elmo> Kamion: hmm, ok, kicking
[06:37] <mdz> tfheen: re: notifying the marketing team, I figured beta wouldn't need much time because of the work done for the milestones
[06:37] <Kamion> mdz: historically I don't think we've reverted the Beta change to debian-cd/CONF.sh
[06:37] <mdz> tfheen: but feel free to move it earlier if you or the marketing team feel it's appropriate
[06:37] <Kamion> I don't necessarily object to doing so, I guess
[06:38] <Kamion> mdz: needs somebody with a rubber duck to change the status in LP
[06:38] <tfheen> mdz: the marketing team is fairly small and we have a significant risk of hitting a time when everybody's busy/traveling/whatever.
[06:38] <mdz> Kamion: yes, at the time I suggested removing the dailies it was to be a temporary fix
[06:38] <Kamion> mdz: oh, I didn't realise that. bit late now then
[06:38] <mdz> tfheen: good point, edit as needed
[06:38] <mdz> Kamion: I'll fix lp
[06:39] <mdz> Kamion: I think it only needs a driver though
[06:39] <mdz> done
[06:39] <Kamion> oh, really? ok
[06:39] <mdz> Kamion: maybe not revert, but it should probably change at least
[06:39] <Kamion> no, I think it needs an admin now, I can't see the widget
[06:40] <mdz> Kamion: or does it still get a build number?
[06:40] <Kamion> there's always a build number
[06:40] <mdz> so long as the beta and the dailies are distinguishable, it's ok I guess
[06:40] <Kamion> I'll flip it back to Alpha, it doesn't seem outrageous
[06:41] <mdz> it sort of does actually
[06:41] <Kamion> Post-Beta?
[06:42] <mdz> the release is still beta-quality, but the CD builds could potentially get flaky since they're automated
[06:42] <mdz> it's a daily build of a beta tree
[06:43] <mdz> not sure what to call that
[06:43] <mdz> probably just a build number
[06:44] <Kamion> Post-Beta seems to express it pretty well
[06:45] <Kamion> unless we want to go for Gamma ;-)
[06:46] <Kamion> I've emptied unapproved
[06:49] <`anthony> maybe you should have a special "daily" quality tag, to denote that it's an automated build?
[06:54] <mdz> Kamion: beta daily?
[06:54] <Kamion> well, firstly, that's normally been "Alpha" up to now; secondly, all releases are merely copies of automated builds
[06:54] <mdz> we should probably call the dailies daily too
[06:55] <Kamion> mdz: doesn't make a lot of sense to me
[06:55] <mdz> Kamion: it doesn't seem right to call something beta which has seen zero testing
[06:55] <Kamion> well, why don't I just make it say "Daily Build"
[06:55] <Kamion> and people can deal
[06:55] <mdz> that's OK with me
[06:56] <mdz> mvo: have you and infinity worked out the correct fix for the langpack/livefs issue?
[06:56] <Kamion> right, third commit to CONF.sh :-)
[06:56] <Kamion> thanks
[06:56] <mvo> mdz: not yet
[06:57] <mdz> tfheen: did you intentionally target bug 57084?
[06:57] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 57084 in xorg-server "Please package Xephyr" [Wishlist,Fix released]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/57084
[06:57] <mdz> mvo: I can think of a few approaches but am not sure what's most correct
[06:57] <mdz> mvo: either we should consider the langpacks manually installed, or ubiquity should explicitly mark them manually installed after removing -live
[06:58] <mdz> it would be pretty silly to remove them and install them again
[06:58] <tfheen> mdz: yes, and I thought I had that fixed already too.
[06:58] <tfheen> mdz: not because it's so important, but more because I wanted it in (and get the previous, broken package out of universe)
[06:59] <mdz> mvo: does the existing API allow ubiquity to fix this?
[06:59] <tfheen> (I apparently have this fixed already, I just can't read)
[06:59] <Kamion> mdz: presumably, if a langpack is installed by language-selector, it will be considered manually installed?
[06:59] <mvo> mdz: yes, there is a apt-mark command that can be used for this
[06:59] <Kamion> if so, I think the livefs should be in sync with that
[06:59] <mdz> tfheen: neither can I
[06:59] <mdz> tfheen: this lack of sorting sucks
[06:59] <mdz> if they can' fix that easily, perhaps just hiding the fixed bugs would do
[07:00] <mdz> s/can'/&t/
[07:00] <mdz> Kamion: I don't follow
[07:00] <Kamion> mdz: doesn't installing support for a language with language-selector count as manually installing those language packs?
[07:00] <mdz> Kamion: I would say so, yes
[07:01] <Kamion> so I sort of feel that the livefs should be constructed as if you had installed that set of languages with language-selector
[07:01] <tfheen> mdz: I whined in the "sorting is broken" bug today; jamesh offered using advanced search as a workaround.
[07:01] <mdz> Kamion: I see, I think I agree
[07:01] <tfheen> (since that doesn't give you colspan=3)
[07:01] <Kamion> it doesn't have to be, and I can fix it in ubiquity if everyone disagrees, but that just feels cleanest to me
[07:01] <mdz> there's no point in apt wanting to autoremove them in the live environment depending on the language you booted
[07:02] <mdz> tfheen: yeah, I saw
[07:02] <Kamion> it's either code in livefs.sh or pretty much the same code in ubiquity, so whatever
[07:02] <mdz> tfheen: that actually lets us limit to main, too, which is nice
[07:03] <tfheen> mdz: true.  It just a workaround, though, and way more work than having it Just Work.
[07:04] <mdz> Kamion: I'm not sure what the livefs.sh bit would look like...special-case langpacks?
[07:04] <bluefoxicy> this experiment is over
[07:04] <bluefoxicy> I switched to evolution for my g-mail account a while back, but I've decided the memory usage is too much, so back to thunderbird.
[07:05] <bluefoxicy> (if I can figure out htf to get mail migrated BACK to thunderbird)
[07:06] <Kamion> mdz: sure
[07:06] <mdz> seb128: bug 3642 is targeted for edgy; can the same fix for suspend be applied to hibernate?

[07:21] <tfheen> file a bug?
[07:22] <mdz> tfheen: I've emailed a forums admin asking about how we should communicate about releases; for your other comments, please just go ahead and edit as necessary
[07:25] <tfheen> mdz: 'k
[07:30] <mvo> Kamion: I look into the postinst issue for g-a-i today
[07:36] <Kamion> mvo: thanks
[07:37] <rraphink> bug #1
[07:37] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 1 in ubuntu-meta "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,Confirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/1
[07:42] <lastnode> mdz, if i was creating a py package, would i unpack my functions/classes to /usr/local/app ? ive looked through the debian python policy and it doesn't recommend a location. does ubuntu have a preferred place?
[07:42] <mdz> lastnode: I'm surprised if that's not in the policy
[07:43] <mdz> lastnode: at any rate, serpentine is a good example
[07:43] <lastnode> ok, thanks 
[07:43] <mdz> lastnode: and to answer your question, no, packages should not place files in /usr/local at all
[07:43] <lastnode> gotcha
[08:45] <mdz> mvo: g-a-i still doesn't seem to sort by popularity by default
[08:47] <mdz> mvo: I think that for search results it should
[08:52] <mvo> mdz: it does a ranking that involves popularity but is not the only criteria
[08:52] <glatzor> mdz: hi, we use a more "complex" rating for the search. So that if the search term matches the pkg name the application will be on top
[08:52] <mdz> mvo: ah, interesting
[08:55] <mdz> mvo: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly has a low popularity rating; I wonder if our popcon statistics are useful
[08:55] <mdz> mvo: would you ensure that in the release notes, there is a section highlighting the knob to turn on popcon so that we get more participation?
[08:55] <mvo> mdz: yes, I can do this
[08:56] <mvo> mdz: we could pimp the raking for certain selected apps :)
[08:57] <mvo> e.g. mp3->gstreamer
[08:57] <seb128> mdz: re gdm hibernate, I've set an edgy milestone because I thought it maybe was the same fix as the upstream sleep one, but it's not. The sleep option is an upstream, hibernate is a distribution patch and it's lacking some part of code to work from the login screen apparently. How much do we care about having hibernate on the gdm screen? I was pondering dropping the patch since the session dialog use gnome-power-manager now anyway
[09:00] <seb128> mjg59: thank you for the nice gnome-session patch, that's better than yet another environment variable ;)
[09:02] <adam0509> hi, got an idea when edgy eft will be realeased ?
[09:03] <LaserJock> adam0509: wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[09:04] <nixternal> have they even started developing Edgy Eft
[09:04] <seb128> nixternal: yeah, better :p
[09:04] <mdz> seb128: I don't think that hibernation from the login screen is an essential feature, but having sleep and not hibernate is weird
[09:05] <mdz> seb128: shouldn't it be possible to make them both work in almost exactly the same way?
[09:05] <nixternal> hehe
[09:05] <adam0509> 26 october ? exactly the day I wanted to reinstall my Ubuntu ;)
[09:06] <seb128> mdz: yeah, should not been too much work, maybe 1 hour to do the change, it has just been low on my TODO and I didn't come to do it yet, will do before edgy ;)

[10:22] <mdke> AlinuxOS: I have no idea. I've been away for a month and don't know how the start page has been changed
[10:22] <AlinuxOS> mdke, ok don't worry...if there is something new...just let us know ;)
