jdongbluefoxicy: heh it's segfaulting on depmod :)12:12
bluefoxicyjdong:  wow12:13
jdongI'm guessing I'm doing something wrong12:13
jdongthere wasn't an option that I checked that could cause that to happen , would there be?12:13
jdongbluefoxicy: I'm just gonna reset my .config and just use preset HIGH :)12:16
bluefoxicyheh12:17
bluefoxicythat kind of behavior is distinctly odd12:17
jdongbluefoxicy: is the default HIGH high enough that it would prevent at least a basic bootup?12:20
jdongbluefoxicy: all I'm looking for is my damn minimal ubuntu install to boot :D12:20

_ionExactly what are dpkg hooks? Is it the feature that allows packages to say e.g. "run update-initramfs once after the current dpkg actions have finished"?08:02
Mithrandir_ion: basically, yes.  08:02
Lathiatooh, thats nifty08:03
Mithrandir_ion: a reason why it hasn't been implemented is we haven't decided on the semantics should a hook command fail.  Say, update-initramfs fails because of full disk.  Are packages unconfigured?  If so, which?  Which package is responsible for handling the failure, etc.08:04
_ionFor that example, my first thought is that packages should remain configured, but the user should be told to fix the problem and dpkg should exit with a non-zero exit value.08:06
Chipzz_ion: wouldn't that break behaviour; ie the behaviour as it is now is that all the packages would be unconfigured, right?08:07
Mithrandiralso, what are the semantics wrt packages depending on the package with a hook?  It might not work correctly until the hook completes.08:08
Chipzznot sure if anything actually depends on that behaviour, but it doesn't sound backward compatible08:08
MithrandirChipzz: you could argue the hooks should be done as a virtual package which is left unconfigured if any of the hooks fail.  That'd at least make sure they would be retried on next upgrade/dpkg --configure -a08:09
Mithrandiranyway, as you see, the semantics aren't trivial so it's not a SMOP but rather an IMOS.08:10
ChipzzMithrandir: I was actually thinking of something like a 'Post-Depends', if that makes any sense ;)08:10
MithrandirChipzz: postream.no-really-I-mean-it?08:10
Mithrandiror rather, postinst.no-really-I-mean-it.08:11
Chipzzwell, we have Pre-Depends semantics now to express the relations between packages08:11
Chipzzhooks are the opposite in a way08:11
ChipzzPost-Depend would be a (virtual) package which the package needs to be usefull08:12
Chipzzbleh, probably not making much sense ;)08:13
MithrandirI'm not quite sure I follow you, no. :-)08:13
Chipzznevermind then :)08:13
ChipzzI think the best solution would be to revert the state of all packages needing that hook to unconfigured if the hook fails08:13
Mithrandirso if your scrollkeeper hook failed, you'd have the full gnome desktop unconfigured?08:16
Chipzzhrrrm08:17
Mithrandirthat sounds a bit harsh.08:17
Mithrandiralso, what about recommends?08:17
ChipzzI'm thinking of a way which is backwards compatible08:17

=== predius_ [n=predius@63.99.9.135] has joined #ubuntu-devel
ChipzzI think the best solution would be to revert the state of all packages _which where upgraded in that particular run_ needing that hook to unconfigured if the hook fails08:18
Chipzzyou're of course right that if a package isn't installed/upgraded, but does depend on the hook, it shouldn't be unconfigured08:18
Chipzzthough in some cases it may make sense08:19
Chipzzlets say we run ldconfig from a hook08:19
Chipzzfailing to write out /etc/ld.so* would affect all packages depending on that hook, right?08:19
Mithrandirdepends on how it failed.08:19
Mithrandirif it ended up writing a corrup ld.so.cache, you might be left with a broken system.08:20
Chipzzin contrast, in the scrollkeeper case, it would only affect the packages being upgraded08:20
Chipzzthe corrupt ld.so.cache was what I was referring to indeed08:20
Chipzzbut that's a problem we don't handle correctly atm anyway, right?08:20
Chipzzeven without hooks08:21
Mithrandirit'll break at the right point right now; with hooks it'd break somewhere else (which wouldn't be deterministic)08:21

cjwatsonheno: do you know what a udeb is at all?02:05
henocjwatson: not really, no02:05
=== lucas [n=lucas@ubuntu/member/lucas] has joined #ubuntu-devel
cjwatsonheno: OK, a udeb is an installer component - in terms of format it's like a deb only smaller, but ONLY udebs can be used to provide facilities within the installer, and udebs can ONLY be used within the installer and not on the installed system02:06
Keybukcjwatson: "Ubuntu Deb" ? :)02:06

cjwatsonKeybuk: :P02:06
gnomefreakinfinity: i thought he fixed mdadm already. (unless you mean something else by explodes) ;)02:07
cjwatsonheno: braille-support should not be talking about the "server install" - d-i is used in contexts other than server installations02:07
henoright, parts are used in ubiquity I guess02:08
cjwatsonheno: irrelevant here02:08
henoand alternate of course02:08
cjwatsonheno: d-i is also used for OEM installations, LVM/RAID (non-server), etc.02:08
henook02:08
cjwatsonand places where the desktop CD just doesn't work02:09
henoright02:09
henoand that's where the debian braille udeb might e useful02:09
henoAFAIU02:09
cjwatsonit's the only place it can possibly be useful :)02:10
cjwatsonheno: anyway, my point is that there is no need for the specification to justify the use of brltty-udeb in the alternate installer - it's not possible to use anything else02:10
cjwatsonat the moment, Debian appears to be including brltty-udeb in its installer images, so it probably works pretty well02:11
henoright. On the live CD we would use Orca with it's braille support02:11
cjwatsonit's done by means of a brltty= boot parameter02:11

=== jpatrick [n=patrick@ubuntu/member/jpatrick] has joined #ubuntu-devel
henocjwatson: thanks I'll polish the spec with this feedback in mind02:13
cjwatsonheno: in fact, apparently the way it's set up in Debian at the moment is that brltty is automatically started if a USB Braille device is detected; you only need to supply brltty= as a boot parameter if you need a serial device02:15
cjwatson(or whatever)02:15
henocjwatson: is it installed in debian by default?02:17
cjwatsonheno: if the script described in the Implementation section is a shell script (preferable) or a C program (possible), then it can be run in d-i02:17
henocjwatson: we installed it during dapper, but then disabled the automatic loading02:17
cjwatsonheno: in the installed system? I don't know02:17
cjwatsonheno: it's loaded as an installer component by default, AFAICS02:18
henocjwatson: a default install always makes it more controversial :)02:18
cjwatsonheno: "language: should this be python or a shell script?" <- if it's in python then you can't use it in d-i02:18
henoesp. if it may do odd things02:18
cjwatsonso I recommend a shell script02:18
cjwatsonheno: we made sure the daemon doesn't start by default on most systems; I have no problem with automatically starting the daemon if a Braille device is physically present, though02:20
cjwatsonheno: detecting USB devices is done by udev rules02:20
=== KaiL [n=KaiL@p548F46E1.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
henoI wasn't actually planning to call it from (or before) d-i, but that would also help 02:20
cjwatsonthose exist in brltty-udeb already02:20
cjwatsonheno: I think we should02:21
cjwatsonmost of the work has already been done02:21
henoright, so if F5+6 happens and no USB device is found02:21
henorun the script no matter what system it is02:21
henocool!02:21
henocjwatson: does udev need more information about braille devices to do the right thing (start the deamon) or should that all be working already?02:23
popeyWhats the procedure if someone wants an app to move from universe to main?02:23
Hobbseepopey: please see the /topic02:24
Hobbseepopey: developer resources page, there is a link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements02:24
cjwatsonheno: it just goes on vendor/product ids; see debian/brltty-udeb.udev.rules in the brltty source package02:25
henook, cool02:26
popeyexcellent, thanks Hobbsee 02:26
cjwatsonheno: the way it works at present in Debian is that if you used it in the installer it gets configured in /etc/brltty.conf in the target system; I don't know if that's quite right, and we should maybe use the udev rules in both places or something02:26
cjwatsonheno: you might want to get Keybuk to have a look over it02:27
henoIdeally it should pick up a USB device whenever it's plugged in02:28
henoie. added to the system later02:28

DaSkreechOk thanks cjwatson03:17
cjwatsonDaSkreech: (it's dependent on a rewritten partitioner in ubiquity)03:17

hungercjwatson: Well, maybe I just missed the option... I could set up LVM partitions, but I could not figure out how to set up VGs and LVs on top of those.03:21
cjwatsonhunger: "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" up at the top03:22
cjwatsonpartman in general is not terribly sensitive to expert mode, which is why I'm sure03:22

cjwatsonthere is no provision at present for the set of options presented in a given select list to depend on the debconf priority03:23

Keybukiwj, pitti: imo, dbus should just do what upstart does ... it can be restarted quite happily06:31
pittiKeybuk: as I said, this would need to iterate over all session dbuses as well, and that would be a novum (packages touching user processes)06:32
pittiI'm not sure whether an old session dbus and a new sytem dbus would play well06:32
pitti(although it should work)06:33
slomo_pitti: notification-daemon does this already... "killall notification-daemon" in postinst06:33

iwjFeel free to ping me or phone me to talk about it, too.06:37
spikecjwatson: another thing: I've got a serial console to this box. if I do a manual install, it works fine. with preseeding it just hangs after booting the pxe kernel06:37
spikecjwatson: I've dumped traffic a looked at logs, the request for the preseed file is never issued06:38

spikeit's a pain not being able to monitor stuff via sc06:38

cjwatsonspike: you need to preseed locale/keyboard stuff on the command line - d-i doesn't bring up the network straight away06:38

iwjpitti: So the problem is this:06:47
iwjIf I hibernate my machine, and then boot the desktop cd, and the desktop cd has grown the ability to spot my fs's and mount them, then:06:47
iwjThe desktop cd will replay the journals of my fs's into the fs's while the hibernated install has them mounted.06:47
iwjThen later I resume the hibernated system and it keeps using the filesystems.06:48
pittiah, right06:48
iwjResult: hideous filesystem nightmare corruption doom.06:48
Mithrandiriwj: so it shouldn't mount dirty fs-es.06:48
iwjRight.06:48
iwjThis actually trashed my Ubuntu install at UBZ.06:48
Mithrandirthe current livecd doesn't automount partitions, so that would have been through some action of yours though.06:49
Mithrandirin which case I'm a little less concerned.06:49
iwjMithrandir: Indeed.  But isn't MountAllLocalFilesystems supposed to change that ?06:49
pittiwe'll not do automatic mounting of partitions anyway06:49
iwjAnd anyway it happens if you dual boot, too.06:49
iwjErr, are you using `partition' to mean `on a hard disk' here ?06:50
pittiright, I do; sorry06:50
iwjIe, distinguishing those from usb-storage.06:50
iwjWell, the problem exists with usb-storage too.06:50
iwjDo we automatically unmount usb-storage before hibernating ?  More to the point, does everyone ?06:50
pittihm, people hibernate on removable partitions which aren't in fstab?06:50
iwjNo, no, you misunderstand.06:51
iwjThis trashing doesn't just happen to the disk you hibernate onto.06:51
iwjIt happens to any disk mounted by the hibernated install, when during the hibernation another setup mounts it.06:51
pittiah, I see06:51
pitti(sorry, half of brain is in meeting)06:51
iwj:-)06:51
mjg59Removable storage vanishes on hibernation right now06:52
pittiiwj: is there a way to tell if a partition is dirty?06:52
mjg59pitti: Not generically06:52
pittiif so, then we should generally refuse to gnome-/automount dirty partitions06:52
pittimjg59: but for a particular fs type, I assume?06:53
iwjNote that journaled fs's generally replay the journal to the disk even if you mount readonly.  (!!!)06:53
mjg59pitti: Yes. You need to in order to know whether to fsck or not06:53
iwjTMBSNMOTW "readonly" OWIWPU etc.06:53
=== anibal [n=anibal@debian/developer/anibal] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mjg59iwj: The fs wouldn't necessarily be consistent otherwise06:53
iwjmjg59: Well, duh.06:53
iwjObviously I don't mind getting EIO for some of the contents.06:54
mjg59Semantically, "readonly" has two meanings06:54
mjg59But there's only one option06:54
iwjIt used only to have one meaning and nowadays it has silently changed to let the fs write to the disk.06:54
iwjMounting a dirty ext2 also involved mounting a possibly-inconsistent fs and you were supposed to fsck first.06:54
iwjBut no-one suggested that you should fsck before mounting ro!06:55
iwjI can't believe you're defending this crazy behaviour.06:55
mjg59That didn't fit my recollection, but on checking the code, you're right06:56
=== pvanhoof [n=pvanhoof@d54C0EE14.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel
iwjErr, I meant "before Linux hard journaled fs's" so I don't understand what you were checking.06:58

Burgworkcjwatson: GNOME is turning on AT stuff during their dev cycle as well07:47
cjwatsonno need to mail the SRU team; I am aware07:47
cjwatsonBurgwork: I'll discuss later07:47
Burgworkcjwatson: just wanted to tell you. Nothing to discuss, really07:48
sfllawtkamppeter: In the "Edit Description" field, you can add tags.07:48
cjwatsonbut the one-line summary is that it is generally a mistake to turn things on during development that are difficult to turn off on upgrade to final07:48
cjwatsonat least for us, since we have many people who install development releases and upgrade07:48

ajmitchthere are multiple howtos since xen isn't exactly supportable on pre-edgy11:02
ajmitchnot without grabbing stuff from edgy, or rolling your own11:02

ajmitchhopefully in a day or two11:18
jdongajmitch: I'm guessing it's PEBKAC though11:18

jdongit was an AMD64 with LVM/device-mapper11:19

=== ajmitch previously got as far as kernel panic & reboot, now it's up to not having stuff in initramfs
ajmitchhardly unusual11:19

jdongmaybe I just gave up too early then11:20
jdongajmitch: though I would expect mkinitramfs to put in all the modules that all my other initramfs'es have?11:20
ajmitchsure, but I wasn't using a packaged kernel as such11:20
jdongah, ok11:21
ajmitchthe only bit I copied in over the existing xen image was vmlinuz11:21
