|---|---|---|
| illovae | but i know it is working, but i think it's depends of the coreutils devel | 12:08 |
| illovae | i know it is working on mandrivia | 12:08 |
| illovae | lol seb128 | 12:08 |
| illovae | ^^ | 12:08 |
| seb128 | what coreutils version is shipped with mandriva? | 12:09 |
| === kylem [n=kyle@cabal.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| illovae | hehe, good question | 12:10 |
| illovae | look at this, 3 years ago > http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg00610.html | 12:11 |
| illovae | well i don't know the version on mandrivia i don't have it, i just saw a screenshot from it, on linuxfr.org | 12:11 |
| === jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| seb128 | illovae: according to http://linuxfr.org/~pascalscl/13847.html that was a Mandriva patch | 12:13 |
| seb128 | they stopped using it apparently | 12:13 |
| seb128 | the current spec has no such patch | 12:13 |
| === mbiebl [n=michael@dslb-084-056-253-084.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| illovae | erf... i was thinking that this patch wasn't added on coreutils in debian or ubuntu | 12:14 |
| illovae | but was available on other distribution | 12:14 |
| seb128 | doesn't look like | 12:14 |
| illovae | what do you think of this patch ? a good idea, or the end-users don't want it ? | 12:15 |
| illovae | i mean, maybe the devels can integrate it on the next rlz of coreutils | 12:15 |
| seb128 | I think it would have been accepted upstream or Mandriva would still be shipping it if it was good | 12:17 |
| seb128 | they probably stopped using it for a reason | 12:17 |
| illovae | i'm really sorry i don't have any knowledge about how do i can demand that for a future version, maybe it's not the good place | 12:17 |

| illovae | (for my bug report) | 12:28 |

| ajmitch | desrt: tough luck, I suck, etc :) | 12:29 |
| desrt | wow. they actually said you suck? | 12:29 |
| ajmitch | no | 12:30 |

| === sivang is happily selecting and manipulating DB2 Viper data from Python, joy! | ||
| desrt | when you successfully login the login screen stays on | 12:32 |
| desrt | and the 'enter your password' area is replaced by a progress bar | 12:32 |
| desrt | which slides along as you login | 12:32 |
| desrt | and the gdm window disappears only after the desktop is completely ready | 12:33 |
| ajmitch | desrt: enlightenment-like bling? | 12:33 |
| desrt | so you don't get all sorts of flickering when logging it | 12:33 |
| desrt | it looks extra nice if the gdm background is similar to the desktop background | 12:33 |
| seb128 | desrt: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322056 | 12:33 |
| Ubugtu | Gnome bug 322056 in general "allow to set background image when using graphical greeter" [Normal,Assigned] | 12:33 |
| desrt | seb128: more like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355190 | 12:34 |
| Ubugtu | Gnome bug 355190 in general "[rfe] gdmgreeter continues to run during login process" [Enhancement,Unconfirmed] | 12:34 |
| seb128 | desrt: that is what Mandriva do, that avoid jumping by a transitional uni-color background | 12:34 |
| desrt | see the screenshot for an idea -- http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=72465&action=view | 12:35 |
| desrt | 'cept it's no longer a pulsed progress bar -- it's a real one | 12:35 |
| seb128 | right, those are 2 different ways to make the transition gdm to desktop smoother | 12:35 |
| desrt | in any case i'm catching a fair amount of resistance from upstream on the issue | 12:35 |
| desrt | and "distro X does it this way already" is sometimes good leverage :) | 12:35 |
| seb128 | right | 12:36 |
| seb128 | I'm not convinced I would prefer your way to the bug I pointed | 12:36 |
| desrt | hmm. ok. | 12:36 |
| seb128 | switching directly to the desktop background with the splash is good too | 12:36 |
| seb128 | I would need to try | 12:36 |
| desrt | cool | 12:36 |
| desrt | you need some gnome-session love in order for it to work properly | 12:36 |
| seb128 | I just think it would feel weird to have the gdm screen staying for the time of the session startup | 12:37 |
| desrt | but i think there's some stuff attached to the bug that lets you emulate it with appropriate shellscrpts | 12:37 |
| desrt | seb128; i hate to say it, but "see also: macos, windows" | 12:37 |

| bluefoxicy | what happens on the initrd | 04:37 |
| bluefoxicy | or more specifically what happens between executing /linuxrc and getting to readahead | 04:37 |
| bluefoxicy | I believe it may be possible to improve readahead efficiency massively, but this is based on a couple big assumptions | 04:37 |
| === j_ack [n=rudi@p508DAA46.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | primarily, I am making the assumption that the boot order is initrd->linuxrc->load a bunch of hardware modules->mount and pivot root->pass control to upstart->load some more hardware->mount some essential file systems->bring up readahead | 04:38 |
| bluefoxicy | in which case, initrd->linuxrc->load modules for rootfs and underlying hardware->activate read-ahead process in the background->continue as normal would take advantage of the time other hardware is being probed for and initialized | 04:39 |

| bluefoxicy | whaaaa.... | 04:50 |
| bluefoxicy | the initrd has 176 modules on it? | 04:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | it has all modules in it | 04:51 |
| bluefoxicy | HrdwrBoB: isn't that counterproductive | 04:52 |
| ajmitch | wasabi: we could probably drag in new libpam-krb5 from debian, if you can test it & get back with some info on it | 04:52 |
| bluefoxicy | HrdwrBoB: that being, you have to load those all, unpack them into memory, modprobe them each, they have to be stored on disk in the initrd image... | 04:52 |
| ajmitch | since it's still in universe | 04:52 |
| infinity | bluefoxicy: Yes, it's inefficient, but it's the safest approach. You can choose to have your initrd built with "MODULES=dep" to try to guess which modules to include and make it smaller, but it's less safe. | 04:54 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: ah. | 04:54 |
| infinity | bluefoxicy: See initramfs.conf(5) | 04:54 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: is there a reason it's technically infeasible to detect rootfs file system type and the hardware it runs on? | 04:54 |
| infinity | MODULES=dep also, of course, means that upgrading your motherboard or moving the hard drive to another box will leave you with an unbootable system. | 04:54 |
| bluefoxicy | ...? | 04:55 |
| HrdwrBoB | since there is no modules for that system | 04:55 |
| infinity | If you only include the driver for your specific disk controller, you get a new controller...? | 04:55 |
| bluefoxicy | The PCI drivers aren't generic.. the IDE interface should be generic except it won't have DMA (I've run without the IDE controller driver before, it's slow) | 04:55 |
| infinity | Something an "expert" could deal with fine, but not robust for the ideal user. | 04:55 |
| infinity | s/ideal/average/ | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: the SATA controller I use will probably not work | 04:56 |
| HrdwrBoB | even for an expert it's a PITA | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | you _NEED_ the driver for the specific SATA you have | 04:56 |
| infinity | bluefoxicy: Yes, that's my point. | 04:56 |
| infinity | bluefoxicy: Hence why we build the "fat" initrd by default. Much safer and easier for users to not break. | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | for me when I had Gentoo I could never figure out my IDE controller until the last year of using it | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | so I never had DMA | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | but the generic IDE support got me actual access to the disk | 04:57 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: nods, good points anyway. But... NETWORK card drivers? | 04:57 |
| infinity | Similar argument. Fat initrds for thin (or chubby) clients. | 04:57 |
| infinity | We don't actually load/probe them unless you're booting from a network, so it's just a bit of wasted space. | 04:58 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: alright. Is it safe to attempt to get the rootfs access immediately and get rootfs mounted early from the initrd, in its fat form? | 04:58 |
| infinity | That's pretty much the whole point of initramfs anyway. | 04:59 |
| infinity | I'm not sure how much more quickly we can get there. | 04:59 |
| infinity | It's not like it does anything ELSE. :) | 04:59 |
| bluefoxicy | what about the other hardware? That's loaded from rootfs, even when it's got duplicate modules in initramfs? | 04:59 |
| infinity | (Well, except for cute stuff like usplash and bootchart and thins) | 04:59 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: about when does readahead come into play? | 05:00 |
| infinity | Hardware loading is pretty much just done by udev, in two passes. | 05:00 |
| infinity | So, what modules you have available determines what gets loaded. | 05:00 |
| === iwj [n=ian@xenophobe.extern.relativity.greenend.org.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| infinity | (I lied about the network driver thing, still thinking of pre-udevplug days) | 05:01 |
| infinity | So, yeah, your NIC driver will probably get loaded in the initramfs. No big deal. | 05:01 |
| infinity | I don't have any NICs that actually take time to settle. | 05:01 |
| infinity | Or, wait. Maybe Scott calls udevplug with an argument to only load storage class stuff. | 05:01 |
| infinity | Okay, I should go read the code again. :) | 05:01 |
| infinity | Ahh, yeah, it just loads storage class stuff if you're booting local. I was right the first time. | 05:02 |
| infinity | So your NIC won't get loaded until we switch to the real root. | 05:02 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: Well my endpoint is that I want to back readahead to when it's immediatly feasible to begin reading files off the rootfs, especially before drivers start getting loaded; drivers need to initialize hardware, and if readahead is running in the background while hardware is initting you have a CPU bound problem in parallel with an IO bound problem and they both parallel quite nicely. | 05:02 |
| bluefoxicy | but I don't entirely understand what's happening at boot | 05:03 |
| infinity | We tossed around the idea of two readahead invocations (one for rootfs, one for the full fs), but we don't really read enough from the rootfs before mounting /usr to make it worthwhile. | 05:03 |
| infinity | So, we do readahead pretty much as soon as /usr is mounted. | 05:04 |
| bluefoxicy | what about moving the mount of /usr back earlier, say as soon as you can satisfy access to its device | 05:04 |
| infinity | It's already as early as it can get. | 05:05 |
| bluefoxicy | mm. | 05:06 |
| infinity | Check /etc/rcS.d, and tell me what you think could happen after /usr is mounted. | 05:06 |
| bluefoxicy | oh, rcS is always started? (couldn't figure that part out on my own) | 05:06 |
| infinity | Oh, hey, Scott did give us that second readahead invocation. | 05:07 |
| infinity | So, even that's happened. | 05:07 |
| bluefoxicy | cool | 05:07 |
| === jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| infinity | Yeah, rcS is the "boot" runlevel. | 05:07 |
| infinity | You go from initramfs to rcS to whatever default runlevel you have (usually rc2) | 05:07 |
| bluefoxicy | hmm | 05:08 |
| === j_ack [n=rudi@p508DAA46.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | the only other thing I can think of is that readahead is not adaptive; but preload is too much of a nightmare to me | 05:10 |
| wasabi | ajmitch: Sorry. I don't think it's libpam-krb5's fault. | 05:10 |
| ajmitch | wasabi: oh well, I'll look at reasons to get it updated anyway :) | 05:11 |
| wasabi | Heh. | 05:11 |

| jdong | bluefoxicy: preload is indeed a nightmare | 05:11 |
| jdong | bluefoxicy: on my box, it tends to cause extra disk IO more than anything else | 05:11 |
| bluefoxicy | jdong: I think it c.. yeah, thrashing. | 05:11 |
| ajmitch | wasabi: yes, I'm really hoping to get there if at all possible | 05:12 |
| jdong | bluefoxicy: personally I'd like to see more work in the readahead department | 05:12 |
| jdong | I like readahead | 05:12 |
| bluefoxicy | jdong: How early can I get inotify up | 05:12 |
| jdong | if prefetchers are made for GNOME, firefox, etc... | 05:12 |
| jdong | all I think are necessary are launcher wrapper scripts | 05:12 |
| ajmitch | wasabi: I have a few things to bring up.. | 05:13 |
| wasabi | ajmitch: Hope ya make it. Planning on it? | 05:13 |
| bluefoxicy | jdong: preload is probably dumb enough to read-ahead entire libraries | 05:13 |
| jdong | bluefoxicy: I don't think preload has any level of intelligence :D | 05:14 |
| ajmitch | wasabi: looking at how I can get there | 05:14 |
| bluefoxicy | I would read-ahead their headers only first and then go back and read their .data and let .text be | 05:14 |
| bluefoxicy | (dynamic linking ONLY cares about headers...) | 05:14 |
| bluefoxicy | jdong: I would tie the read-ahead into init mainly; just-in-time read-ahead is pretty pointless, except maybe reading in library headers to make dynamic linking more IO bound | 05:16 |
| jdong | bluefoxicy: jit readahead reduces disk seeking | 05:17 |
| bluefoxicy | I mean, you start loading Gnumeric. It's going to immediately start picking up libraries. Possibly faster than you can read them in. | 05:17 |
| jdong | bluefoxicy: that's a pretty big deal for something like GNOME startup | 05:17 |
| bluefoxicy | jdong: I could make the dynamic linker do it. | 05:17 |
| jdong | my GNOME startup is clearly IO bound | 05:17 |
| bluefoxicy | no, seriously, ld.so could be hacked to do it | 05:17 |

| bluefoxicy | it reads the needed library section (DT_NEEDED?) and loads libraries one by one, it could easily fork() and set up a readahead() call to each in their header area (and then exit) while it goes and dynamic links | 05:19 |

| freakabcd | crimsun, err.. i believe this guy did a _working_ sample implementation _before_ dapper was released! | 06:57 |
| freakabcd | and its suddenly edgy+1 material? | 06:58 |
| freakabcd | don;t tell me you guys decided even before dapper was released that binary deltas will be edgy+1 material? heck somehow i think it might even be edgy+2 material :( | 06:58 |
| crimsun | freakabcd: "suddenly" is a bit far flung | 07:01 |
| freakabcd | sorry, it is indeed. | 07:01 |
| freakabcd | but could you elaborate on the idea that it was pre-conceived waay back that its edgy+1 material? | 07:01 |
| tfheen | freakabcd: was there an implementation in the archive before feature freeze? | 07:02 |
| freakabcd | tfheen, i dunno about dapper. but surely before even edgy opened for devel | 07:02 |

| freakabcd | there might be another main thread somewhere else. but thats the one i found byt looking just now | 07:05 |
| tfheen | that's not a spec, though. Our development process is spec-focused where all features should have a spec before they are implemented | 07:06 |

| freakabcd | you can;t expect 1 person to do all the work of writing the spec and implementing a proof-of-concept | 07:07 |
| freakabcd | the guy wrote a proof-of-concept that works. now write a spec and a proper implementation (i guess by committee). this never happened | 07:07 |

| heno | tfheen: when shall we set the WinFOSS freeze at? I'm easy, the remaining work is trivial anyway | 10:03 |
| cbx33 | preffered method for upgrading a dapper machine to edgY? | 10:03 |
| seb128 | update-manager -d | 10:03 |
| cbx33 | I need to do an upgrade test for edubuntu for ogra | 10:03 |
| cbx33 | hmmm | 10:03 |
| heno | This page doesn't actually have an RC FREEZE data AFAICS https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule | 10:03 |
| tfheen | heno: personally, I like to get stuff done early rather than late, so either ten or seven days before RC? | 10:03 |
| cbx33 | seb128 i get nothing | 10:04 |
| cbx33 | just the normal update | 10:04 |
| mvo | cbx33: update-manager -c -d, please let me know about the result | 10:04 |
| cbx33 | ok | 10:04 |
| cbx33 | will try again | 10:04 |
| cbx33 | mvo got it with that command, but only if I export my proxy details first | 10:05 |
| cbx33 | this was raised as a bug last time | 10:05 |

| cbx33 | using the auto config script option | 10:07 |
| cbx33 | and it still doesn't work | 10:07 |
| heno | tfheen: the only thing is if Firefox put out a very important fix late in the process, but I can ask for a special exception for that | 10:08 |
| heno | So we'll go with monday | 10:08 |
| cbx33 | doesn't seem to work at all mvo | 10:09 |
| mvo | cbx33: this is probably a transient failure, this whole thing works by using http_proxy. that is passed via gksu and gnome-terminal. if you use the gnome-terminal that is still open it will fail unfortunately | 10:09 |
| tfheen | heno: sure. | 10:09 |
| cbx33 | ah ok | 10:09 |
| cbx33 | I'll try not using gnome terminal | 10:09 |
| mvo | cbx33: *but* please file a bug about this, so that I can fix it properly | 10:09 |
| cbx33 | nope still doesn't work even if I run from the menu | 10:10 |
| cbx33 | only way I can get it to successfully run is to export the proxy details first | 10:10 |

| cbx33 | any ideas? | 10:19 |
| seb128 | no, nothing trivial | 10:19 |
| cbx33 | shute | 10:19 |
| seb128 | either look at gconfd-2 code and make it handle that fine | 10:20 |
| cbx33 | ogra anything from your end? | 10:20 |
| seb128 | or make something create those directories, not sure on where to plug that though | 10:20 |
| cbx33 | seb128 sure - hmm | 10:20 |
| seb128 | it would be easy to create them for existing users | 10:20 |
| seb128 | the issue is if you create a new user it would need to create the directory too | 10:21 |
| ogra | i'd add it to users-admin then ... | 10:21 |
| cbx33 | yeh | 10:21 |
| seb128 | and I don't fancy try to change adduser, etc for that | 10:21 |
| Kamion | argh no | 10:21 |
| Kamion | users-admin <- wrong place | 10:21 |
| ogra | oh, why ? | 10:21 |
| seb128 | because it's a gconf directory | 10:21 |
| ogra | additional groups are added there as well | 10:21 |
| ogra | ah, k | 10:21 |
| Kamion | ogra: people add users with useradd, adduser, or hell they create them on a totally different machine using NIS or whatever | 10:21 |
| cbx33 | true | 10:22 |
| seb128 | and some people add users who don't use GNOME :p | 10:22 |
| Kamion | there's no way to do this correctly by patching the user creation tools | 10:22 |
| ogra | right | 10:22 |
| cbx33 | ok ogra I'm going for the upgrade....ok? | 10:22 |
| Kamion | if you want a per-user directory you need a component running as root to create it | 10:22 |
| cbx33 | Kamion: yup | 10:22 |
| cbx33 | but it's too late for that now | 10:22 |
| seb128 | the way is probably to make gconfd-2 not complain when the directory doesn't exist | 10:23 |

| cbx33 | it worked fine here | 10:23 |
| seb128 | it doesn't here | 10:23 |
| ogra | cbx33, we have a component running as root ... | 10:23 |
| Kamion | cbx33: if it's too late for that now, then the patch surely needs to be reverted | 10:23 |
| ogra | why cant S-C-P create it if needed ? | 10:23 |
| Kamion | too late to do it at all correctly => don't do it at all ... | 10:24 |
| seb128 | ogra: I'm not going to change gconf in a way which makes it break if you root component is not running | 10:24 |
| cbx33 | ogra: sure | 10:24 |
| cbx33 | but scp isn't runnign all the time | 10:24 |
| ogra | right | 10:24 |
| seb128 | Kamion: I didn't upload the patch since I faced the issue with my test user on my desktop | 10:24 |
| cbx33 | and the dir is created in pessulus | 10:24 |
| ogra | i thought its only about creating the dir ... (didnt know it breaks without it) | 10:24 |
| Kamion | seb128: ah right, good | 10:24 |
| cbx33 | ogra: no....that's the issue | 10:24 |
| cbx33 | pessulus creates it...... | 10:24 |
| cbx33 | when you first load it for a specific user | 10:25 |
| seb128 | (in fact I uploaded the patched version and a next one reverting it but both had wrong targets and were refused) | 10:25 |
| ogra | cbx33, it would be nice if you could CC me in the conversation about such issues next time ... | 10:25 |
| cbx33 | ogra this is the first I've heard of it | 10:25 |
| ogra | since i only understand half of what you guys are talking about atm | 10:25 |
| cbx33 | we have a dir created to allow per user mandatory keys | 10:26 |

| seb128 | ogra: cbx33 asked me to add "xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/users/$(USER)/gconf.xml.mandatory" to the gconf path | 10:26 |
| seb128 | ogra: I did the change yesterday | 10:26 |
| ogra | ah | 10:26 |
| seb128 | started gdmflexiserver --xnest and logged in with my test user | 10:27 |
| ogra | that was the patch discussed with vuntz right ? | 10:27 |
| cbx33 | yes | 10:27 |
| cbx33 | he suggested that dir for it | 10:27 |
| seb128 | and gconf complained that /var/lib/gconf/users/USER can't be created and doesn't exist | 10:27 |

| seb128 | it works when I log in with gdmflexiserver and not when I use gdmflexiserver --xnest | 10:28 |
| seb128 | for a reason I don't explain yet :p | 10:28 |
| cbx33 | argh ! | 10:28 |
| ogra | to get more testing and a proper solution for gconf ... | 10:28 |
| cbx33 | ok.... | 10:28 |
| cbx33 | ogra we can put that line in a howto on the wiki | 10:29 |
| cbx33 | I've never used gdmflexiserver - so | 10:29 |
| cbx33 | I generally test on real machines :( | 10:29 |
| seb128 | right, that's one a conffile change | 10:29 |
| seb128 | no need to rebuild a package for it | 10:29 |
| cbx33 | indeed | 10:29 |
| cbx33 | and per user mandatory keys is a "advanced" feature anyway | 10:29 |
| seb128 | cbx33: better to test such changes with all sort of situations | 10:29 |
| ogra | ok | 10:29 |
| cbx33 | seb128 - I need more info then :0 | 10:30 |
| cbx33 | heheh | 10:30 |

| pitti | LM_AC_HD_IDLE_TIUMEOUT_SECONDS=5 <= default | 10:46 |
| giftnudel | yes, but there is still a setting to disable it on ac | 10:47 |
| pitti | it should be off for AC and something like 15 minutes for battery | 10:47 |
| giftnudel | yes, this sounds reasonable | 10:47 |
| pitti | giftnudel: do you know the difference between LM_ and NOLM_? | 10:48 |
| giftnudel | laptop-mode and no laptop-mode | 10:48 |

| pitti | giftnudel: so, the AC timeout for NOLM is 7200, and for LM 5 | 10:48 |
| giftnudel | yes | 10:48 |
| pitti | mjg59: do you agree to raising the default timeouts? | 10:49 |
| giftnudel | "laptop-mode stop" uses the no l-m thing, and ac and batt are for l-m on | 10:50 |

| pitti | giftnudel: then this one obviously does not work on the ibook | 10:51 |
| giftnudel | it seems so, but I really suggest a complete review of all options | 10:52 |
| pitti | I'll file a bug about it for discussion | 10:52 |
| giftnudel | target it to 6.10, it's easy fixable, but I think we should reach a consensus before that | 10:52 |

| thom | changing uname is badness | 11:09 |
| Kamion | that'd be out of spec for uname -r and would break things | 11:09 |
| Kamion | use lsb_release | 11:09 |
| pitti | tepsipakki: try lsb_release -a | 11:09 |
| tepsipakki | ok, that looks nice | 11:09 |
| Kamion | lots of code parses uname -r (or the equivalent kernel structure) to work out the kernel version it's running on | 11:10 |
| tepsipakki | yeah, I see | 11:10 |
| tepsipakki | it's just that lsb_release isn't available on other unices ;) | 11:10 |
| Kamion | that's easily checked ... | 11:11 |
| tepsipakki | solaris and tru64 seem to be the ones that output something sensible with uname -r, macosx outputs the kernel version (8.7.0 on 10.4), aix just "2" on 5.2 etc | 11:12 |
| Kamion | the commercial Unixes often sync up the kernel version with the distribution release | 11:14 |
| === minghua_ [n=minghua@ppp-70-246-16-222.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tepsipakki | but I understand that it isn't trivial to change uname in linux.. especially if lsb_release is the standard way to tell the distro in linux | 11:15 |
| Kamion | but given a known flavour of Unix, uname -r should be considered to have a fixed format | 11:15 |
| === minghua_ is now known as minghua | ||
| tepsipakki | yes, maybe I won't file a bug about it, instead inform the unix-punks to use lsb_release in linux ;) | 11:17 |

| Kamion | "disc" is a somewhat ... fanatic British English approach, IMHO | 12:41 |
| Kamion | most computer-literate British English speakers I know use disk in the manner described by the reporter (i.e. not for CDs, but for practically everything else) | 12:42 |

| Ng | otherwise disk | 12:42 |
| === Keybuk agrees | ||
| Kamion | I do know a few people who'd say "hard disc", but they also spell "font" as "fount" | 12:42 |

| Kamion | I can never remember grey/gray myself | 12:46 |
| Kamion | I use grey, but then I also used to use -ize before I got bored of it and switched to -ise | 12:47 |
| Kamion | Riddell: hmm, well that worked, but for some reason the subsequent loadModule didn't seem to work | 12:47 |

| Keybuk | David appears to have hidden my OED | 12:50 |
| tfheen | also, HTML only allows gray, which is annoying. At least, it used to back in 1996. | 12:50 |
| Ng | tfheen: and center :( | 12:50 |
| tfheen | grey tended to be interpreted as green, which left me dumbfounded for a bit. | 12:50 |
| Riddell | I'm pretty sure CSS allows grey | 12:51 |
| tfheen | Riddell: HTML, not CSS. This was back before CSS. | 12:51 |
| Kamion | http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html says it's still only gray in HTML | 12:51 |
| Keybuk | pitti: OED says grey too | 12:51 |
| tfheen | when HTML 2.0 was the new and shiny thing. | 12:51 |

| ogra | Keybuk, meh, ltsp-client is the first service started in rc2 ... so num_services is still 0 | 12:51 |

| tfheen | apart from the pink overload, I liked the explanation in http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=232 | 12:52 |
| ogra | Keybuk, sorry, num_steps | 12:52 |
| ogra | Keybuk, num_steps is initially set to 0, and the case condition breaks without adding 1 to it | 12:53 |
| Keybuk | yes? | 12:53 |
| === abattoir [n=abattoir@cm238.omega16.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | so if ltsp-client is the first service in a runlevel num_steps is still zeroed ... and i dont get progressbar steps at all | 12:53 |
| === Keybuk is still failing to see your point | ||
| Keybuk | if ltsp-client is the first service, you don't want progress steps? | 12:54 |
| ogra | i want them | 12:54 |
| Keybuk | well, you can't have them | 12:54 |
| Keybuk | so there | 12:54 |
| ogra | but the code prevents me from getting them | 12:54 |
| Keybuk | :) | 12:54 |
| ogra | well, it should add 1 to num_steps before the break | 12:54 |
| Keybuk | the code doesn't count the step that stops usplash, for obvious reasons | 12:54 |
| Keybuk | no, it shouldn't | 12:54 |
| Keybuk | otherwise the users will never *see* it hit 100% cause usplash gets stopped | 12:55 |
| ogra | well, if i make it the second service, i see a gap at the end of the progressbar | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | it's zero based so it hits 100% then usplash stops | 12:55 |
| ogra | it never gets to the full end | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | that's wrong | 12:55 |
| ogra | right | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | if you make it the second service, then num_steps = 1 | 12:55 |
| ogra | but it gets to 90% | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | so it would reach 100% after the end of the first step | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | and you wouldn't see a gap | 12:55 |
| ogra | i can live with that for now and will make ltsp-client the second service, but i think num_steps should be at least | 12:56 |
| ogra | 1 | 12:56 |
| Keybuk | no, it shouldn't | 12:56 |
| ogra | lets talk about it in MV :) | 12:56 |
| Keybuk | otherwise you'd never see the end of the progress bar | 12:56 |
| Keybuk | it has to hit 100% before usplash it stopped | 12:56 |
| Keybuk | have you bothered to read rc? | 12:56 |
| pitti | tfheen: wrt. bug 60448 you had some thoughts, too; I would rotate the current .xsession-errors to .xsession-errors.prev and create a fresh .x-e on login; is that fine for you? | 12:57 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 60448 in xorg ".xsession_errors file grows out of control & saturates disk space" [High,In progress] http://launchpad.net/bugs/60448 | 12:57 |
| Keybuk | it tells usplash to change the progress when the script run *FINISHES* | 12:57 |
| Keybuk | not before it starts | 12:57 |
| Keybuk | so it's entirely correct that num_steps=0 if the display manager is the first thing | 12:57 |
| ogra | hmm | 12:57 |
| Keybuk | because you want no steps for that entire runlevel | 12:57 |
| Keybuk | I could believe there's a bug simply because it divides the progress bar up | 12:58 |
| ogra | anyway, i'll make it the second service for now | 12:58 |
| Keybuk | it leaves the last third for the rc2 | 12:58 |
| Keybuk | but because there's nothing in rc2, it never actually fills that final third | 12:58 |
| ogra | another prob (with udev i guess) | 12:59 |
| Keybuk | with udev?! | 12:59 |
| tfheen | pitti: I'd prefer to have the file be resized in-place to not put random junk files in ~ | 12:59 |

| pitti | janimo: hmm | 05:20 |
| janimo | not edgy anyway | 05:20 |
| janimo | pitti: did you think I want to replace gnome-cups-manager :) ? | 05:20 |
| pitti | janimo: well, I didn't test it at all so far (I postponed that to feisty on my personal list) | 05:20 |
| ogra | pitti, are we allowed to leak f-f already ? | 05:21 |
| janimo | pitti: ok, I did not ever think of having that in ubuntu edgy that;s for sure. We may have had some miscommunication | 05:21 |
| tfheen | janimo: hard freeze is in seven days, jfyi. | 05:21 |
| janimo | pitti: it;s strictly for xubuntu, as right now the only way to add aprinter is via the web ui | 05:21 |
| janimo | tfheen: I know, but if this app is not there there's nothning in its place | 05:22 |
| janimo | so the risk is low | 05:22 |
| janimo | it is one of the most impiortant edgy xubuntu specs | 05:22 |
| funman | crimsun: till not there? | 05:22 |
| janimo | I specifically chose this route as opposed to patching gnome-cups0-manager to gtk onlyness, to avoid interfeering with ubuntu desktop | 05:22 |
| pitti | janimo: the point is, if we put it in main now and it screws something up, we have to support it | 05:22 |
| === tfheen is leaning towards pitti's stance here -- we're _way_ past FF. | ||
| janimo | pitti: AIUI, the xubuntu bits are not 'reaaly' supported even if in main | 05:23 |
| janimo | there for easy CDing | 05:23 |
| janimo | pitti: that tool is shipped by FC6 next week by the way | 05:23 |
| pitti | janimo: how do you mean? we support all main things, and if there is a grave bug past release in the printer config app, we have to deal with it in -updates and such | 05:23 |
| janimo | so it cannot be that bad, but admittedly it may expect something else in debian | 05:24 |
| tfheen | that's a slippery slope once edubuntu starts to have a xubuntu ltsp modes as well, too. | 05:24 |
| janimo | anyway myself gauvain and others on xubuntu-devel tested it and it worked fine | 05:24 |
| === kbyrd [n=Miranda@mailout1.vmware.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | well, I do not have a good feeling about it TBH | 05:24 |
| janimo | tfheen: I hope that for edgy+1 xubuntu and ubuntu printer tools will be the same | 05:24 |
| pitti | I'm fine with taking a look at it, but I cannot judge the releasability quality and compatibility with printer models and access modes in a short time | 05:25 |
| janimo | but I would not like to go another cycle without graphical 'add new printer' | 05:25 |
| pitti | janimo: I hope that, too | 05:25 |
| pitti | I so much want to get rid of g-c-m | 05:25 |
| pitti | that's why I really appreciated geting printer-config | 05:25 |
| pitti | but I never imagined it for edgy | 05:25 |
| janimo | pitti: so either this fedora tool or till's drake can take over in edgy +1 | 05:25 |
| pitti | right | 05:25 |
| pitti | janimo: ok, as I said, I'll review it, but promotion should get past mdz | 05:26 |
| janimo | pitti: I thought it was clear from the start that I uploaded for wide testing for ubuntu edgy+1 but also for xubuntu edgy | 05:26 |
| janimo | after all it was speccied in paris :) | 05:26 |
| janimo | pitti: as for supported, jbailey said they are not staffed for xubuntu support | 05:26 |
| janimo | so it is in main but not supported for customers | 05:26 |
| janimo | the annuncements also specify community supported | 05:27 |
| pitti | oh, I wasn't aware that we make that kind of distinction | 05:27 |
| janimo | pitti: well, not written anywhere as far as I can tell, it's just the way it is AIUI | 05:27 |
| ogra | tfheen, thats still at least one release away ... | 05:27 |
| janimo | I do not mind as long as CDs can be rolled | 05:28 |
| tfheen | janimo: which spec would that be? I can't see any edgy-targeted specs which are relevant? | 05:28 |
| tfheen | ogra: hence "slippery slope" | 05:28 |

| pitti | seb128: ah, thank you | 05:30 |
| seb128 | np | 05:30 |
| seb128 | pitti: does apport still limit the dump to 100M? | 05:30 |
| pitti | seb128: I'm not sure at that point what to do TBH | 05:30 |
| pitti | seb128: no, the default is 200 MB now | 05:30 |
| tfheen | janimo: it's not targeted for any release, though | 05:31 |
| seb128 | pitti: my main issue with apport is that bugzilla get over 500 ubuntu bugs a week atm and we are already cracking under bug flood without those | 05:31 |
| pitti | seb128: right | 05:31 |
| seb128 | pitti: there is no way we would cope with that amount of bug | 05:31 |
| pitti | seb128: if gnome is happy with getting b-b reports, can cope with it, and the workflow works fine, there's little reason to change it at that point | 05:32 |
| tfheen | janimo: in the future, _please_ make sure that anything you want in is actually targetted. Stuff which isn't targetted (be it bugs, features, whatever) fall off our radar and we end up using lots of time rescuing it. | 05:32 |
| tfheen | janimo: also, implementation status "unknown" at this point is, well, not useful. | 05:32 |
| janimo | tfheen: ok, I somehow thought in parsi that accepted means targeted at edgy | 05:32 |
| janimo | and then forgot about the issue | 05:33 |
| janimo | sorry | 05:33 |
| tfheen | janimo: and it's not approved either? | 05:33 |
| pitti | seb128: I guess we need an one-click gnome upstream bug reporting and automatic symbolic stack traces before we switch that? | 05:33 |
| pitti | ok, I'm off for a bit | 05:33 |
| janimo | tfheen: I guess I should have kept track of the specs closer | 05:33 |
| tfheen | janimo: I'm not trying to pick on you; it's just that those seemingly-minor things end up causing us lots of grief. | 05:33 |
| janimo | for this specific one imlementation meant, package fedora tool and m,assage ot work without some deps, and wait to get on the CD | 05:34 |
| seb128 | pitti: right | 05:34 |
| ogra | tfheen, and that specs needed to be implemented before FF | 05:34 |
| tfheen | janimo: wouldn't the web UI be acceptable for edgy and we can get this into edgy+1? | 05:34 |
| janimo | tfheen: I know you are not. nevertheless I am sorry for not being more disciplined about it :) | 05:34 |
| ogra | but as long as its xubuntu only i dont mind ... | 05:34 |
| janimo | tfheen: the web interface scred people in dapper | 05:34 |

| Keybuk | OH, WOW | 05:41 |
| Keybuk | I HAVE A GEM OF A BUG | 05:41 |
| Keybuk | tfheen: are you listening? :) | 05:41 |
| tfheen | Keybuk: loud and clear. | 05:41 |
| Keybuk | you use the usplash TEXT_URGENT thing on the Live CD so that when it shuts down/restarts, it says "Press ENTER" ? | 05:41 |
| tfheen | yes | 05:41 |
| Keybuk | well, imagine for a moment that the user is a bit lazy | 05:41 |
| Keybuk | and left the install sitting there for, oh, a few minutes | 05:42 |
| Keybuk | what do you think happens? :) | 05:42 |
| tfheen | Keybuk: I change the timeout to a day, iirc. | 05:42 |
| Keybuk | usplash definitely timed out | 05:42 |
| Keybuk | and I was sitting at a little _ cursor | 05:42 |
| tfheen | let me see | 05:42 |
| heno | I've seen that too | 05:42 |
| tfheen | heno: did you see me asking you about accessibility status? If you could look at the casper bug about it, that'd be good | 05:43 |
| heno | tfheen: I'll look | 05:43 |
| tfheen | /sbin/usplash_write "TIMEOUT 86400" | 05:44 |
| tfheen | /sbin/usplash_write "TEXT-URGENT Please remove the disc, close the tray (if any)" | 05:44 |
| tfheen | /sbin/usplash_write "TEXT-URGENT and press ENTER to continue" | 05:44 |
| Keybuk | could the console blanker kill usplash? | 05:44 |
| tfheen | hmm, maybe. | 05:44 |
| Keybuk | uh | 05:44 |
| Keybuk | dude | 05:44 |
| Ng | I have abug I need to report that we've noticed on pretyt much all of our server tests of the live CD where rebooting just leaves us at a blinking _ | 05:44 |
| Keybuk | no, I see what happened | 05:44 |
| Keybuk | you rolled a 32-bit int :) | 05:45 |
| Ng | is that likely to be the same thing? | 05:45 |
| tfheen | Keybuk: 86400 should fit comfortably into a 32 bit int. | 05:45 |
| Keybuk | 86,400,000,000 is rather bigger than INT_MAX | 05:45 |
| Keybuk | timeout is stored internally in usex | 05:45 |
| tfheen | GNR | 05:45 |
| Keybuk | uh sec! | 05:45 |
| tfheen | why? | 05:45 |
| Keybuk | because it uses usleep() ? | 05:45 |
| tfheen | and seriously, it needs a way to say "don't time out, ever" | 05:45 |
| tfheen | timeout 0 used to do that | 05:46 |
| Keybuk | yeah, timeout 0 did that, until Seveas broke it | 05:46 |
| Kamion | usplash_down still sends TIMEOUT 0 | 05:46 |
| Seveas | ? | 05:46 |
| Seveas | what did I break? | 05:46 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: no it doesn't, I fixed that | 05:46 |
| Kamion | ah, my checkout is out of date | 05:46 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: "fixed" | 05:46 |
| Kamion | surely usplash_down was correct and usplash was wrong :) | 05:46 |

| Keybuk | seb128: this was the second boot | 05:47 |
| tfheen | Keybuk: we could just make it use a long and only lesser arches would have to care. Or fix timeout 0 | 05:47 |
| Kamion | usplash is so much the village bike | 05:47 |
| Kamion | or the core-dev bike | 05:48 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: mdz got it once on desktopCD boot and never since | 05:48 |
| Keybuk | tfheen: <g> "lesser arches" being anything not amd64? | 05:48 |
| tfheen | Kamion: we should build it a shed. | 05:48 |
| Keybuk | seb128: I just got it on a vmware install | 05:48 |
| tfheen | Keybuk: hey, ia64 will make do as well | 05:48 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: do you have anything useful to the logs? is it reproducible? | 05:48 |
| Keybuk | seb128: which logs? | 05:48 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: ~/.xsession-errors | 05:48 |
| ogra | .xsession-errors ? | 05:48 |

| tfheen | Kamion: sure, that's fine, but I'd actually rather just have us fix timeout 0 or timeout -1 to work. | 05:49 |
| ogra | but only very rarely and not reproducable | 05:49 |
| Kamion | tfheen: yeah | 05:49 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: we could do that if necessary | 05:49 |
| tfheen | (either's fine, but both blow up ATM, iirc) | 05:49 |
| heno | tfheen: could you give me a bug # ? I can't see anything obvious | 05:49 |

| geser | does bug 52803 qualify to be fixed for edgy? | 10:01 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 52803 in gsfonts-x11 "insufficient dependency on xfonts-utils" [High,Confirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/52803 | 10:01 |
| tfheen | seb128: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/22876 is targetted for 6.10, but you say "probably won't be fixed for edgy". Which one is correct? | 10:02 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 22876 in control-center "There is no way to control which sound device or mixer the keyboard shortcuts use" [Unknown,Confirmed] | 10:02 |

| tfheen | seb128: thanks. | 10:04 |
| seb128 | tfheen: no need to bother with the desktop them, there is about 10 of them and I've then in control ;) | 10:04 |

| Ng | hmm, does anyone happen to know how rhythmbox identifies usb devices as music players? | 10:04 |
| tfheen | seb128: ok, thanks, I won't then. :-) | 10:04 |
| tfheen | seb128: but I'll roar at you if they're not all gone in six days. :-P | 10:04 |
| seb128 | Ng: probably the hal informations about the device | 10:04 |
| seb128 | tfheen: fine with me ;) | 10:04 |

| jdong|laptop | (smack me if I'm asking retarded questions about Xen0 | 10:18 |
| zul | no i think you have to restart it but try it out | 10:18 |
| jdong|laptop | so you have to specify how much RAM you give to dom0 ahead of time? | 10:18 |
| jdong|laptop | the last time I used Xen I found that real irritating | 10:18 |
| zul | yep | 10:18 |
| jdong|laptop | mmkay, I'll set aside a test box | 10:18 |
| jdong|laptop | can amd64 hosts run i386 guests? | 10:18 |
| ajmitch | you can shrink dom0's ram usage | 10:19 |
| LaserJock | hehe, that reminds me of a certain thread in -devel | 10:19 |
| ajmitch | but you can't increase beyond what it was booted with | 10:19 |
| jdong|laptop | ajmitch: ah, so I can boot dom0 to use all available RAM then shrink it as I need to boot children? | 10:20 |
| ajmitch | yes | 10:20 |
| ajmitch | it just happens | 10:20 |
| funman | dom0 just can access all RAM anyway | 10:20 |
| zul | right time to go home | 10:21 |
| funman | and then you'll allocate some dom0's free RAM to domUs | 10:21 |

| jdong|laptop | ah ok | 10:23 |
| jdong|laptop | and are the wiki's documents on how to use Xen still valid for Dapper? | 10:23 |
| funman | url? | 10:23 |
| funman | i don't know if ubuntu changed xen tools | 10:24 |
| ajmitch | probably similar enough | 10:24 |
| jdong|laptop | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy?highlight=%28xen%29 | 10:24 |
| === ajmitch goes off to upload new xen-3.0 | ||
| jdong|laptop | final question, will Xen process and close 120 outstanding backports requests for me while I take my nap? :D | 10:26 |
| ajmitch | jdong|laptop: no | 10:27 |
| jdong|laptop | lol | 10:27 |
| jdong|laptop | have a nice day, everyone | 10:27 |

| funman | watch, not read, asian texts | 10:38 |

| funman | and nothing, that's all | 10:38 |
| AnAnt | funman: 50 extra MB to watch asian text that I won't understand ? | 10:39 |
| funman | exactly | 10:39 |
| funman | can you see what will make these fonts install ? | 10:40 |
| === herzi [n=herzi@pD9E2AC25.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| AnAnt | ubuntu-desktop I think | 10:40 |
| AnAnt | because when I chose to do upgrade instead of dist-upgrade, it told me that it will hold ubuntu-desktop & ubuntu-minimal back | 10:41 |
| sbalneav | If you're browsing the internet, and get directed to an Asian site, with asian characters, the proper thing to do would be to display the characters correctly, as opposed to a web page full of gibberish characters. Therefore, to do the correct thing, you need the fonts. This isn't really a development question though, is it? | 10:42 |
| funman | AnAnt: i don't know if you already experienced | 10:43 |
| funman | but it's very funny to let a friend use your computer, and make that he can use his native language | 10:43 |
| AnAnt | k, I just found that it is less than 50 MB | 10:44 |
| AnAnt | maybe even half that size | 10:44 |
