jdongTrae: hehe, gentoo has overheat issues unique to itself.... :)12:31
jdongTrae: does a vanilla kernel exhibit the same issues?12:31
imbrandontfheen, can i get an OK to upload http://federation.imbrandon.com/amarok.debdiff tis a very trivial fix12:32
jdongimbrandon: have you gotten to look at my ktorrent debdiff too?12:32
imbrandonjdong, i just seen your message, i'll check it on my ppc tonight12:32
jdongimbrandon: thankie12:32
Traejdong I ran for quite a while with gentoo ( in terms of testing ) about 72hrs.12:34
=== MikeJS [n=mike@24.151.112.174] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdongTrae: you should be able to isolate the patch from gentoo-sources that did the trick12:34
Traeit was just too much work to keep compling stuff over and over, but gentoo passed all the tests that Ubuntu and others fail at12:34
Traejdong I am a Graphic Artist who happens to run Linux12:35
TraeI don't know about development stuff12:35
TraeI used Linux for 10+ years, but only as an end-user12:35
jdongTrae: do you know how to compile kernels and use patch to apply patches?12:35
TraeI mean, sure I can type ./configure && make && make install12:35
Traebut that doesn't make me a developer12:35
Traeheh12:35
Traejdong not realy12:35
TraeI don't know how to do patches12:36
=== robertj_ [n=robertj@24-178-79-71.dhcp.athn.ga.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
TraeI've done them, like, back in 96', 97', 98' 12:36
Traewhen I had to, but I've all but forgotten any of that stuff12:36
TraeAnd I hated it back then12:36
Traeheh12:36
jdongwell, gentoo's patches are at http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/trunk/12:36
jdongif gentoo doesn't have the problem, one of those patches fixes it12:37
Trae:(12:37
jdonga quick glance/grep shows nothing ACPI related though12:37
jdongwhich makes me question if that's the culprit...12:37
TraeI can't see how this bug wouldn't be the #1 issue for all the distro's it affects12:37
=== imbrandon notes that this would be better of talking to the kernelteam #ubuntu-kernel
jdongTrae: because not all hardware exhibits this?12:37
Traehaving your distro bomb on a laptop... just seems very bad12:38
imbrandonTrae, becouse very little hardware is afected by it12:38
jdongnone of the laptops I've ever used Linux on exhibit this12:38
Traeimbrandon that one bug seems like a lot of laptops are affected12:38
imbrandonTrae, not all laptops obviously as the whole laptop testing team and most developers run a lappy including myself12:38
wasabi_My laptop works fine. =)12:38
jdongTrae: put that into perspective with the number of laptops that run Ubuntu or Fedora Core combined12:39
jdongit's certainly a very significant bug for those it affects, but it's not as widespread as you make it out to be...12:39
pirastTrea, I didn't read the bug report, but can't that be caused by the the kernel not detecting the temperature correctly?12:39
Traeacer, hp, fujitsu, toshiba12:39
imbrandonanyhow all i'm getting at is this is better suited for #ubuntu-kernel as they can tell you exacly what to diag ( and they are normaly only arround durring the week )12:40
Traenot major brands I know... (hp is)12:40
Traeimbrandon the sad thing is, breezy never had a problem with this.12:40
pirast(Trae)12:40
Trae:(12:40
Traenor warty12:40
Traeit's something that was introduced in Dapper Drake12:41
jdongTrae: I have both acer and toshiba laptops, and they are fine12:41
jdongso it's not as widespread as that12:41
Traejdong Do you run custom kernels?12:41
jdongonly a certain subset is affected12:41
imbrandonTrae, as i said ALOT has changed since breezy , anbd mostly only the kernel team can help[12:41
jdongno, I use stock Ubuntu kernels12:41
jdongunless I have a _really good_ reason to deviate12:41
Traejdong nod...12:41
Traeit just sucks that my laptop is basically now a freakin' useless brick12:41
Traeunless I want to run Mandriva or Gentoo12:42
jdongTrae: do you know if your lm_sensors reports temporatures correctly?12:42
jdongTrae: if you lm_sensors can control your fans, just use fancontrol/pwmconfig to do userspace thermal12:42
imbrandonugh i give up, #ubuntu-kernel12:42
TraeI'd rather have bamboo slivers drivin under my fingernails than use Gentoo12:42

jdongimbrandon: that's a ghost town too... for today there's really not much of a difference :D12:42
Traejdong hmmm don't really know about lm_sensors12:43
imbrandonjdong, yes there is , and i said that he needs to go in there durring the week, not say the same thing in here day after day12:43
jdongTrae: give setting up lm_sensors a chance...12:43
Traemy grub is busted ATM (after failed FC6pre attempted install)12:43
Traejdong hmm ok.12:44
jdonggood luck12:44
Traelet me see if I can install grub again12:44
TraeI've got an extra partition I've been using to do tests of other distro's12:44
Chipzzjdong: the fact that someone doesn't get an answer elsewhere does not justify having them come complain here12:44
Chipzzjdong: neither for #ubuntu, nor for #ubuntu-kernel12:44
jdongChipzz, imbrandon: sorry, I was already in the middle of getting him a workaround, didn't feel like migrating. I'm done now12:45
=== jdong shuts mouth
Chipzzjdong: I was just pointing out the "policy"; also, if you're the one helping it's not your fault either ;)12:46
JanC<jdong> if gentoo doesn't have the problem, one of those patches fixes it  or one of the ubuntu patches breaks it...  ;-)12:46
Traeheh12:47
TraeIn my experience, it's best to help when you can (provided a channel isn't swamped with discussion), and then kindly remind the particular use of a channel.12:47
Traelike, if there was an active discussion going on.. and the user is OT, then that's a time to directly intervene.12:48
Traethat's just my thoughts12:48
Traejdong tx for tring to help12:48
ChipzzTrae: OTOH, most users do not care about anything but getting a solution for their problem12:49
TraeI didn't even know there was an #ubuntu-kernel12:49
Chipzzthat's why they violate rules in the first place12:49
TraeChipzz I've been dealing with this bug since Dapper was released...12:49
jdongJanC: I was about to say that, but diagnosing that is way beyond Trae's self-reported technical scope :-)12:49
Traeheh12:49
Traejdong self-reported heh12:50
Chipzzhelping them out against policy makes that feeling even stronger, and may encourage them to do the same thing the next time too12:50
Chipzz"Yes I know this is off-topic, but I need a solution for my problem, and I got helped here last time too..."12:50
Chipzzand I have seen this exact thing happen12:50

th_is there any interest in making ubuntu detect bios raids like medley (silicon image/cmd) and nvidia?12:52
imbrandonhe's most likely gone for the day, i'll try to cacth him tomarrow12:52
th_like so it can install from scratch with a windows on such a raid12:52
ompaulth_, you should qualify that with what you have previously done12:53
th_http://www.infowares.com/linux/12:53
th_got my 2.4 kernel silicon image raid driver into the official kernel tree12:53
th_anyway12:55
th_i'm just trying to find out if this is something that is needed or not.. because I think a lot of people have windows installed on these bios raids12:56
th_if I didn't have to dual boot myself, I'd of course go with Linux raid instead of biosraid, but many people already have these systems so we should support them12:56
ompaulth_, I think you should hang out here until you see some kernel chat taking place12:57
th_ompaul, thanks, I will12:57
th_well, try that is ;) 12:57
ompaulit may take until Monday12:57
th_but I will have a look at what needs to be done to support this12:57
th_knowing that it works in Gentoo it can't be impossible ;) I think some dmraid initramfs script might be what it takes..12:58
AlinuxOSmjg59, ping (do you see me?, or maybe I'm not logged in freenode :( )12:59

AlinuxOSth_, I've alredy done this... but no respose... I guess there is something wrong with my cnnection..or loging stuff01:00
th_AlinuxOS, what do you mean you have done it? you mean, implemented support for these bios raids?01:01

giftnudelsivang: hmm, let me think about this fix and if I can do it better ... maybe -s "%s" is better, then remove the sourcePath.replace() stuff, that should be much better05:55
Kamiongiftnudel: well, *perhaps* safe in that you can only compromise your own account unless this is set-id, but it might well do the wrong thing. What happens if you create a file containing spaces and try to use it?05:55
Kamion"%s" is almost always wrong05:55
Kamionif you have to use "...", it implies that the code expanding %s isn't quoting properly05:55

Kamionuse the subprocess module if you can06:00
tfheenKamion: ok, qt4-x11 approved.06:00
pittisivang: you should use subprocess.call() with a proper argv array06:01
sivangpitti: I need to be able to monitor the process through a ptry06:01
sivangpty06:01
pittisivang: well, if you can do it with spawn, you can do it with subprocess.Popen()/communicate()06:02
giftnudelpitti: like call(proc, ("-s", path) and path can be anything like /path/to file06:02
giftnudelpitti: (so will it work with strange paths)06:03
giftnudelempty spaces, &, " and so one in it06:03
sivangpitti: I'm actually using python-expect06:03
sivangIn [3] : print pexpect.spawn.__doc__06:04
sivangThis is the main class interface for Pexpect.06:04
sivang    Use this class to start and control child applications.06:04
Lathiattfheen: (a possibly better 'implementation' detail would be to check $0 and see if it matches 25avahi-daemon or something)06:04
pittisivang: you can get stdin/out/err FDs from subprocess easily; please read the documentation about subprocess06:04
sivangso this is the spawn  I use06:04
Lathiattfheen: do you want me to prepare a patch so you can review or would you rather leave it?06:04
=== TomB [n=tomb@host217-44-6-189.range217-44.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittisivang: in general, please avoid using the shell in python, unless you have a very good reason to use it06:04
Kamionsivang: I suggest reading the Secure-Programs-HOWTO if you haven't already done so06:04
Kamioneven if your program is not on a security boundary, following its recommendations is likely to improve your program's reliability06:05
pittisivang: a backup program which can possibly work automatically is most likely a security threat if it allows shell injection06:05
sivangpitti: what is wrong by using pexpect? it saved me time and effort having to reimplement my own pty subprocess control system. I wonder if it can use some sort of escape mechanism06:05
pittiKamion: not sure, but things like browser caches are prone to arbitrary file name injection (maybe not firefox, but in general)06:06
tfheenLathiat: prepare the patch, and I'll review it.06:06
tfheenLathiat: that's not a promise it'll be accepted, mind.06:06
sivangpitti, Kamion : I see06:06
sivangpitti: also, the program is not htat much of an 'automatic' , but more need to be actively operated to do something.06:07
pittisivang: hm, if pexpect wants to do the spawning itself, and doesn't just accept a stdin/out pair, it seems quite badly designed06:07
Lathiattfheen: *nod* ok thanks06:07
pittisivang: (I don't know p-expect, not sure whether it's really like that)06:08
tfheenLathiat: oh, and if you want it in, please make that patch now rather than later.  I'm going to totally close the door for such updates tomorrow morning (UTC)06:08
Kamionthere really should be a standard Python codec that escapes shell metacharacters, so you can do .encode("shell_escape") - there's the string_escape encoding but it's not clear that it's guaranteed to be safe for use outside python06:08
sivangI can check how pexecpt does it's spawning06:09
sivangIIRC it uses subprocess06:09
pittiKamion: I guess it's not pythonic to encourage the programmer to use Unix specific shells instead of subprocess (and I can perfectly understand that, too)06:09
sivangpitti: subprocess.call() is not prune to that vulns ?06:10
pittisivang: it would be nice if it would accept a Popen object or a pair of file handles instead of a shell command string06:10
pittisivang: if you use the default (shell=False) and use an argv array instead of a string, then there is no shell involved06:11
Kamionsivang: pexpect knows how to accept a list of arguments rather than a shell command06:11
Kamion__init__(self, command, args=[] , timeout=30, maxread=2000, searchwindowsize=None, logfile=None, env=None)06:11
pittisivang: it's similar to using execv() instead of system() in C06:11
Kamionpitti: right, but metacharacter expansion is at least as generically useful as, say, the palmos encoding06:11
pittiheh, true06:12
sivangI see now that there's an fdepxect module, in beta that commetns say will move intp pexpect when proven to be stable enough06:12
sivangintersting06:12
sivang    """This is like pexpect.spawn but allows you to supply your own,06:12
sivang    already open file descriptor. For example, you could use it to06:12
sivang    read through a file looking for patterns, or to control a modem or06:12
sivang    serial device.06:12
Kamionin this case it does not sound like it adds significant value over using the existing support in pexpect for supplying a list of arguments06:13
Kamionjust use %s and make sure that your code to expand that always fills in the filename as a single argument06:13

pittisaves a shift key press :)06:17
pittisivang: unlike perl and shell, python does not treat ' and " differenlty06:18
Kamionsivang: you've missed the point of using a list06:18
sivangthat what I recalled, but Colin's comments made me doubt that :)06:18
hash_We need to enable Pango for the si locale, otherwise Sinhala does not get rendered in Firefox, that's critical for us, but would that be considered critical by ubuntu?06:18
sivangKamion: the original code before giftnudel's suggestion was using a list:06:18
Kamionsivang: the '...' are only parsed when Python is constructing the list COPY_CMD_LINE itself06:19
Kamionsivang: you then take a copy of that list, and iterate over it filling in the %s bits06:19
sivang        self.proc = spawn('dar',self.BACKUP_CMD_LINE.split())06:19
Kamionsivang: at that point Python couldn't care less whether the strings you copy into the new list contain ' characters or not06:19
Kamionhash_: unfortunately our firefox maintainer doesn't tend to be around at weekends06:20
Kamiontfheen: what do you think about that firefox pango change?06:20
Kamionsivang: self.BACKUP_CMD_LINE there isn't a list, it's a string. the error-prone part is that split()06:21
hash_Kamion: should I open a bug in launchpad?06:22
Kamionsivang: you should be working with a list throughout rather than having a stage where it's a string that you have to split up06:22
Kamionhash_: yes06:22
hash_Kamion: should I add anyone in particular to the CC list? e.g. release manager?06:22
Kamionhash_: I've already asked tfheen for his opinion06:23
sivangKamion: error prone in that it fails on space contaiing file names, yes, so your suggestion is to iterate over COPY_CMD_LINE as a list, and then construct a string out of it, then feeding it to spawn? or just feed COPY_CMD_LINE as a list to spawn since it receives list arg as well?06:23
Kamionsivang: no no, don't construct a string at any point!06:23
hash_Kamion: Thanks!06:23
Kamionsivang: any point where a string with multiple arguments is involved for a shell command is a possible security vulnerability or reliability problem06:23
Kamionsivang: just feed it straight through as a list06:24
sivangah okay, that should resolve the issue of space containing file nmaes as well as the secuirty vuln ?06:25

mjg59Where "Thinkpad X41" is "Any machine with i915/i945"07:00
tfheenhave you gotten ilm to verify it?07:00
mjg59I can reproduce here07:00
tfheenok, coolie.07:00
tfheencan we have a second verification that it's fixed?07:00
mjg59Fix makes sense, but is in acpi-support rather than xserver-xorg-video-i81007:01
mjg59Uh. I can test the fix on a second machine? :)07:01
Kamiontfheen: I'm just looking at that ktorrent FTBFS before firefox07:01
tfheenmjg59: what's the fix?07:01
tfheenKamion: the ppc one which didn't make sense to either Adam or me?07:01
mjg59tfheen: Explicitly set the screen back to text mode on resume before switching back to X07:01
Kamiontfheen: oh, was it *that* one?07:02
mjg59Since the vbestate saved is from a graphical mode now (due to usplash)07:02
tfheenKamion: I think so, yes.07:02

tfheenmjg59: go for it07:06
mjg59tfheen: Do you need anything in the changelog?07:09
tfheenmjg59: nothing apart from documenting the change; Kamion or Adam will ask me about it in a bit.07:10

tfheendid you have any luck with usplash on amd64 or are you going with the vga16 route there?07:11
mjg59About to hit that now07:11
mjg59(Yesterday was a bit of a loss. Never drinking again)07:11
tfheenheh07:12
tfheenat least not until Wednesday?07:12
mjg59Especially not with freshers07:12
mjg59Eh. Maybe tomorrow.07:12
keescookwhat's the issue with usplash on amd64?  I'd like to help if possible...07:12
mjg59keescook: x86emu and nvidia bioses don't get along07:12
tfheenkeescook: blows up with nvidia cards.07:12
keescooksounds like my config.  :)07:12
tfheenmjg59: do you have the debdiff for the acpi-support somewhere?07:12
keescookusplash needs a vga= line, yes?07:13
mjg59tfheen: This stuff /works/ in X, so the current plan of attack is to get a better idea of what X is doing07:13
mjg59keescook: No07:13
hash_Kamion: Is there anything else I need to do or any info that you need?07:13
tfheenmjg59: given that it works once in a while, I'm wondering if there are some data structures not cleared properly or something.07:13
mjg59tfheen: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/acpi-support.debdiff07:14
keescookmjg59: okay.  would 'usplash -c' be one way to test fixes?07:14
mjg59vgamode rather than vbemode is deliberate07:14
tfheenmjg59: 40407:14
mjg59keescook: Yeah07:14
mjg59tfheen: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/acpi-support.debdiff07:14
tfheenthanks07:14
keescookmjg59: okay, cool.  usplash for me just changes the brightness, and doesn't display any graphics.  is there anything I can do to help debug?07:15
mjg59keescook: Other than figuring out the bug, I doubt it07:15
tfheenkeescook: does vbetool vbestate save SIGSEGV for you?07:15
keescooktfheen: checking07:15
keescooktfheen: yup, sure does.07:16
mjg59Yeah, that's the simple csae of the problem07:16
tfheenthat bit is trivially solved.07:16
mjg59tfheen: That doesn't mean it works though, right?07:17
tfheenmjg59: no, it means it runs into the infinite loop problem.07:17
keescookthere is a bug # for the usplash junk so I can get up to speed on it?07:17
tfheenkeescook: ok, if you grab the source for vbetool, change a few defines at the top of x86-common.c, it should loop forever.07:17
tfheen#define REAL_MEM_BASE ((void *)0x1000)07:17
tfheen#define REAL_MEM_SIZE 0x8000007:18
tfheenare the defines you want.07:18
tfheen#define REAL_MEM_BLOCKS (REAL_MEM_SIZE/1024)07:18
tfheenthat'll make it not segfault07:18

keescookusplash pours stuff to the screen (e.g. Calling INT 0x0 (0004:003E), EAX is 5100, Leaving interrupt call. over and over)07:18
tfheenusplash sometimes work, so vbetool is really a better test.07:19
keescookokay07:19
tfheensince it consistently fails (for me at least)07:19
tfheenyou can make the same change to usplash and it should loop forever unless you neighbour's cat is red and the moon is waning and your grandfather is brushing his teeth when you run it.07:19
keescookdunno if it helps, but I've never had usplash work yet on this machine.  :)07:20
tfheennot even in dapper?07:21
tfheenor haven't you had dapper on it?07:21
keescookwrt REAL_MEM_SIZE, that should change from 0x40000 to 0x80000?07:21
tfheenyeah.07:21
keescookI had it disabled in dapper.  :P07:21
Kamionhash_: no, thanks07:21
tfheenthe size isn't that important, but ISTR I ran into some bugs when I didn't bump it.07:22
hash_Kamion: thanks for the info and help, cya later07:23
keescooktfheen: after those changes, mine still segfaults...07:29
keescooker, nm, missed MEM_BASE change.  agh07:29

tfheenkeescook: also, the VESA initialisation shouldn't fail either.07:39

keescookthe save_state function seems to really depend on the size returned, though.  ?07:40

Kamionoh. want me to get screenshots to compare?09:08
hash_run: MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0 firefox09:08
hash_is the rendering different to the screenshot?09:09
Kamionhash_: sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at here - the rendering looked *correct* to me even without the patch09:09
hash_Kamion: Pango is currently on enabled if bn|gu|hi|kn|ml|mr|ne|pa|ta|te these locals are there.09:10
KamionI'm using http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/icu-sinhala-rendering.txt to avoid having to set the character encoding manually09:10
Kamionhash_: yes, I understand that and I changed /usr/bin/firefox temporarily for testing09:10
Kamionin order to confidently apply your patch and push it through for RC, I need to be able to see a difference in firefox with and without that patch09:11
hash_Kamion: I'm trying to work out how Pango is getting enabled without the patch on your system. Any ideas?09:11
Kamionoh, right, I see what you mean now09:12
hash_That's why I asked for an ls of /var/lib/locales/supported.d09:12
Kamionhash_: I ran firefox under 'bash -x'; it's definitely setting MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=109:13
hash_with the patch?09:15

Kamion+ MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=109:15
Kamion+ export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO09:15
Kamion(you confused me by asking for an ls of /var/lib/locales/supported.d - firefox doesn't care about the filenames, it cares about the contents)09:16
hash_I just needed to know what files where there.09:17
Kamionyou needed to know their contents, actually09:17
hash_Kamion: could you take a screenshot and put it on the web?09:17
Kamionbut in any case none of those languages are there09:17
hash_You can work out the latter from the former09:18
Kamionhash_: http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/sinhala-unpatched.png09:19
Kamionhash_: no, you really can't - the contents of /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local can't be determined from the filename09:19
Kamionif you don't believe me, tell me what's in there :-)09:19
hash_so that's incorrect rendering09:20
Kamionok09:20
Kamionwhat's incorrect about it? (I believe you, just trying to understand so I can compare)09:20
hash_incorrect: the dependent vowel modifiers succeed the consonants always.09:20

Kamionyou need to invent less subtle rendering bugs ;-)09:24
hash_hehe. when it comes to i18n, it usually takes a little while to convince maintainers.09:25
hash_So relatively speaking, this has been one of the quickest positive responses I have had in 3 years! :-)09:25
tfheenhash_: it's more that most of us are western-language people who are (unfortunately) ignorant of a lot of the issues affecting non-latin languages.  Even those of us who have gone through this a couple of times for different languages stumble across new problems for new languages.09:26

hash_Yeah Sinhala is the main language of Sri Lanka09:31

tfheenKamion: ah, ok.  I didn't see mdke_'s reply.09:32
Kamion-s09:32
tfheenPango is horribly, horribly slow.09:32
Kamionthe complaints were mostly of the form "I tried upstream's binaries and they were an order of magnitude faster. You guys suck"09:32
hash_Because Fedora Core and Debian use Pango by default.09:32
tfheenif it would grow optimisations for ascii/latin languages, I wouldn't mind, really.  Unsure how easy that is to do, though.09:32
Kamionyes, Debian gets the complaints too09:32
Kamiondon't know about Fedora, as I'm not active in that community09:33
hash_I actually use Debian, and was using Fedora before.09:33
hash_But Majority of new Linux uses in SL use Ubuntu.09:33
KamionDebian doesn't have the MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO optimisation09:34
hash_This particular problem was discovered in July: http://sinhala.linux.lk/enabling-pango-in-firefox-to-enable-sinhala09:35
