| superm1 | but i really dont want to spin off a derivative distro, i'd like to be able to do these live disks side by side with the normal release disks | 12:13 |
| HumanPrototype | superm1, so basically you could use it to set up a mytv server or frontend? | 12:13 |
| superm1 | either a primary server, a secondary, or a frontend or combination | 12:13 |
| superm1 | i've got the metapackages in the works right now, and those should show up in feisty | 12:14 |

| Burgwork | it is python | 12:42 |
| Burgwork | the issue is that it does lots of stuff | 12:42 |
| jdong_ | oh sure let's blame it on python now | 12:42 |
| jdong_ | :) | 12:42 |
| jdong_ | lol | 12:42 |
| Burgwork | doing stuff requires memory | 12:42 |
| bhale | you dont have to explain things by saying "MONO, RUN FOR THE HILLS" | 12:42 |
| bhale | do real profiling | 12:42 |
| Burgwork | beagle does stuff, therefor it uses memory | 12:42 |
| Burgwork | so will tracker, once it starts actually doing stuff | 12:42 |
| jdong_ | Burgwork: I didn't say that mono was to blame. I said the exact opposite | 12:43 |

| bronson | I'd like to build packages for both Dapper and Edgy, but it doesn't look like pbuilder will allow that? | 01:16 |
| bronson | It must be one or the other... Well, unless I use linux-vserver, UML or VMWare. | 01:16 |
| LaserJock | nah | 01:16 |
| ajmitch | use different pbuilder configs | 01:16 |
| bronson | Ah, just create a different config file and then specify it with --configfile? | 01:17 |
| ajmitch | yep | 01:17 |
| jdong_ | bronson: just different --basetgz arguments works :) | 01:18 |
| bronson | Would that allow me to get around having to run it as root too? | 01:18 |
| LaserJock | or you can use the example script that comes from pbuilder | 01:18 |
| jdong_ | no | 01:18 |
| jdong_ | pbuilder needs root to chroot() | 01:18 |
| jdong_ | you can set pbuilder suid root to work around that | 01:18 |

| mdke | mdz, cjwatson: would bug 74481 justify an upload to edgy-updates? It's an easy fix, but I'm not sure of how the new SRU policy is applied - it doesn't seem to fall within any of the categories | 09:02 |

| lifeless | mdke: I'd say low impact to all our users | 09:08 |
| lifeless | I think its probably ok to treat this as something needing an SRU | 09:09 |
| mdke | lifeless: aha. Alright. I'm a bit put off by the process required (-proposed, notifying testers, etc) because the fix is so easy, but I'll try and go through the hoops | 09:11 |
| lifeless | mdke: the consequences of a mistake are huge. | 09:11 |
| lifeless | mdke: Doing nothing is safer than doing the wrong thing, for stable updates. | 09:11 |
| mdke | more scrollkeeper errors? | 09:12 |
| mdke | but yeah, I see why the policy is there | 09:12 |
| lifeless | no, potentially broken systems across all our users, if the patch is faulty. | 09:12 |
| mdke | I'm curious how, but not curious enough to challenge you - I'll take your word for it, and do the procedure | 09:16 |

| pitti | I didn't actively exclude it, I just didn't merge the seeds; ogra didn't want to have autoipd in edubuntu by default | 11:31 |
| cjwatson | then the correct thing to do would have been to merge that bzr changeset but remove the change | 11:31 |
| cjwatson | it is not everyone else's responsibility to keep track of your choices | 11:31 |

| cjwatson | dunno, and it isn't listed as uninstallable by britney | 02:16 |

| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: unfortunately that can't be done in ubiquity at the moment without fairly sweeping code changes | 02:50 |
| cjwatson | you can set a default, but not skip it | 02:50 |

| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: are you talking about a thin client server, or the thin client itself? | 02:53 |
| cjwatson | I thought thin clients were typically booted by delivering an image, rather than by doing an installation as such | 02:54 |
| ogra | right | 02:54 |
| HumanPrototype | ogra: I must admit I know nothing about ltsp | 02:54 |
| ogra | you either use pxe, etherboot or bootp (the latter is unsupported in ubuntu) | 02:54 |
| ogra | if your client sends out a PXE bradcast, the dhcp server answers it, gives it an IP and tells it where to find a tftp server (usually the same machine) to get the bootkernel from ... | 02:55 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: hmm, I suppose you could skip a page in ubiquity by modifying the loop in run() in ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py | 02:55 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: my boss wanted a distro that would boot and let him login as a thin client similar to a hp thin client box he brought | 02:56 |
| Chipzz | ogra: I'm not sure, but I think you're mixing something up | 02:56 |
| ogra | if the kernel is booted the client mounts / via nfs from the ltsp server and boots it ... | 02:56 |
| Chipzz | ogra: the dhcp server actually also does bootp | 02:56 |
| cjwatson | change the stepUserInfo case to do self.set_current_page(self.current_page + 1); continue in that case | 02:56 |
| ogra | Chipzz, well, but not tested or supported in ubuntu | 02:56 |
| Chipzz | ogra: so pxe *does* use bootp as a matter of fact iirc | 02:56 |
| HumanPrototype | ogra: this is to connect to a windows terminal server | 02:56 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: ok, thanks | 02:56 |
| ogra | HumanPrototype, hmm, then you would want to boot an ltsp client that starts up an rdesktop client | 02:56 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: but, I think this is probably not the ideal option and you should talk with ogra about LTSP | 02:57 |

| mvo | just to confirm, we do use alsas dmix by default, right? | 03:01 |
| ogra | HumanPrototype, feel free to ping me in #ltsp or #edubuntu where that discussion is more on topic | 03:01 |
| ogra | cjwatson, edubuntu-meta should be in the queue | 03:01 |
| HumanPrototype | ogra: my boss doesnt really know linux and basically wants something that runs on old machines and will boot to give him a gui to setup an rdesktop connection and can reconnect on startup in the future | 03:01 |

| mvo | ogra: thanks | 03:02 |
| ogra | HumanPrototype, right, sounds like ltsp is the right option for you .. | 03:02 |
| ogra | but you will need a linux server to boot from ... | 03:03 |

| doko_ | Mithrandir, ogra: ok, but eclipse got accepted. strange. I thought the freeze was for main only | 03:30 |
| Mithrandir | doko_: it is, but I suspect nobody has gotten around to accepting your upload, then. | 03:30 |
| cjwatson | doko_: by policy it is for main and restricted only, but our only available way to implement it is by freezing the entire archive and manually accepting universe and multiverse from time to time. | 03:34 |

| cjwatson | Mithrandir: ok | 04:02 |
| cjwatson | Mithrandir: will you be around at all later, if I can get these built? I'd really like to get out of freeze today | 04:03 |

| Mithrandir | cjwatson: I'm happy with the ubuntu livecds. Both amd64 and i386 seem to work for me, sans the small problem of i386 blowing up in SMP 64 bit vmware, but I think we can live with that. | 04:04 |
| twb | I'm having a lot of trouble booting them over NFS... :-( | 04:04 |
| Mithrandir | twb: booting the live cd over NFS? That might be because it doesn't sound like a remotely supported configuration.. | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | ok, so rebuild ubuntu/edubuntu alternates, test quickly, go? | 04:04 |
| twb | Mithrandir: I realize that. | 04:05 |
| cjwatson | twb: we're talking about for a milestone release | 04:05 |
| Mithrandir | cjwatson: yup | 04:05 |
| twb | I'm trying to implement support. | 04:05 |
| Mithrandir | twb: don't bother; the code is in casper in Debian, I just need to merge it in. | 04:05 |
| twb | A fuse bug is kicking me in the teeth. | 04:05 |
| Mithrandir | cjwatson: I'll byhand the publisher then | 04:05 |
| cjwatson | Mithrandir: not *quite* yet ... | 04:05 |
| twb | Mithrandir: oh? I assumed that Debian's casper was older. | 04:05 |
| cjwatson | twb: we haven't merged everything since we got out of edgy release freeze yet, so a fair few of our packages are still older | 04:06 |
| cjwatson | Mithrandir: go ahead and byhand it now | 04:06 |
| Mithrandir | twb: it's forked and requires a fair bit of merging to get their changes back into our code. | 04:07 |
| twb | I see. | 04:07 |
| twb | Does casper actually have a homepage? I couldn't find it. | 04:07 |
| Mithrandir | not that I know of, and I'm the primary maintainer. :-P | 04:07 |

| === pradeep [n=pradeep@59.92.60.174] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| twb | Mithrandir: basically, what I do is mount a read-only NFS filesystem that contains the same data as filesystem.squashfs. I then unionfs that with a tmpfs /cow and run the casper-bottom scripts. | 04:13 |
| twb | Unfortunately, this blows up because (for some reason) unionfs doesn't let anything append to files, although it allows the files to be deleted and created. | 04:14 |
| === paran [n=paran@2002:d4d6:7070:0:0:0:0:1] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | twb, its probably helpful to have a look at ltsp (specifically the ltsp-client.ltsp-client-setup.init script) to see the tmpfs workarounds we use there | 04:14 |
| Mithrandir | twb: it might very well be a unionfs bug. We're run into quite a few of those. | 04:15 |
| twb | I also have this problem using unionfs of Knoppix 3.7 through 4.0 | 04:15 |
| === bddebian [n=bdefrees@mail.ottens.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| twb | Er, through to 5.0 | 04:16 |
| ogra | thats why ltsp resorts to tmpfs bind mounts ;) | 04:16 |
| twb | I'm trying to avoid doing that. | 04:16 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: that doesn't allow you to install packages, for instance. | 04:16 |
| twb | (That's what Knoppix did historically) | 04:16 |
| Mithrandir | have you looked at how the support in the debian package is done? Or you could look at some of the fuse unionfs alternatives. | 04:16 |
| ogra | well, i can install packages in my fat-client environment | 04:17 |
| bddebian | Howdy | 04:17 |
| ogra | which is essentially a ltsp | 04:17 |
| === fernando [n=fernando@unaffiliated/musb] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| twb | Mithrandir: OK, so this is definitely supported already in Debian's casper? When you said that before, I wasn't sure you understood what I was doing. | 04:17 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: how do you do that without having a writable layer on top of your filesystem? | 04:17 |
| Mithrandir | twb: I'm _fairly_ sure what you're trying to do is doable using their casper, yes. | 04:18 |
| ogra | Mithrandir, i add the writeable layer via a tmpfs bindmount | 04:18 |
| twb | Mithrandir: OK. | 04:18 |
| Mithrandir | I keep meaning to merge those bits, but ENOTIME. | 04:18 |
| === twb snarfs Debian's casper. | ||
| Mithrandir | ogra: like, over /usr ? | 04:18 |
| ogra | like over specific dirs or files, yes | 04:18 |
| twb | Mithrandir: I am more than happy to help get this fixed; I can't get rid of Knoppix until I do. | 04:18 |
| ogra | i wouldnt pick the whole of 7usr though | 04:18 |
| ogra | /usr | 04:18 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: so you don't support arbitrary package installations, then? | 04:18 |
| ogra | only via chroot on the server ... but you can do temporary installs on the fat client indeed | 04:19 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: of any package, and you do this without using unionfs? | 04:19 |
| twb | `temporary installs' being until you reboot? | 04:19 |
| ogra | twb, yes | 04:20 |
| Mithrandir | twb: package installations on a live cd tend to be until you reboot. :-) | 04:20 |

| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: in the preseed files that are there I notice they install ubuntu-base etc - Do I need to configure a package to depend on everything I want to be installed and call it in the same way? | 04:32 |
| Mithrandir | we're going to get an XML-RPC interface which we'll hook reportbug into, but it's not there yet. | 04:32 |
| twb | One of the bzr people I was talking to today said he did all his launchpad stuff via mail. | 04:33 |
| Mithrandir | oh, true, you can submit and manipulate bugs via mail | 04:34 |
| Mithrandir | https://help.launchpad.net/UsingMaloneEmail has some info on it | 04:34 |
| twb | Seems a bit silly to break reportbug, then. I mean, reportbug under Debian basically just sends a mail message. | 04:34 |

| Keybuk | pitti: what do you want me to do with them? | 05:31 |
| pitti | Keybuk: they need to be uploaded in a way that they don't generate -changes emails | 05:32 |
| Keybuk | pitti: I have no idea how to do that | 05:32 |
| Keybuk | it's the accept phase that generates changes mails anyway | 05:32 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I can't do that myself (although I have a long-standing wishlist item for soyuz to allow notification blacklists) | 05:32 |
| Keybuk | so if you upload them normally, I can block the mailing list ones | 05:32 |
| Keybuk | just not the ones to you | 05:32 |
| pitti | Keybuk: ah, ok; so far cprov or malcc did those uploads, but they asked me to delegate this to the archive team | 05:33 |
| pitti | so I don't know the magic behind it | 05:33 |
| pitti | Keybuk: alright, then I just dput them? | 05:33 |
| Keybuk | yup | 05:34 |
| Keybuk | afaik | 05:34 |
| cjwatson | don't | 05:34 |
| cjwatson | I know how to do them | 05:34 |
| HumanPrototype | am i correct in thinking that this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6.06) wont change the files installed by the ubiquty program? | 05:35 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: ubiquity just copies the live filesystem onto the hard disk, then remooves anything that's listed in /casper/filesystem.manifest but not listed in /casper/filesystem.manifest-desktop | 05:35 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: so no, if you change the contents of the live filesystem, that will probably change what's installed by ubiquity | 05:36 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: how? | 05:36 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: so if i regenerate the manifest as that guide says then copy it to manifest-desktop then remove certain things (like ubiquity) that you dont want installed on the end system would that work? | 05:37 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: rigt | 05:37 |
| cjwatson | right | 05:37 |
| cjwatson | (damn keyboard, sorry) | 05:37 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: thanks for all this help :D | 05:38 |

| === Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | mconnor: didn't get any mail so far | 05:41 |
| mconnor | guess he's just been talking to Debian-only people then | 05:42 |
| iwj | mconnor: Hi, btw :-). | 05:42 |
| mconnor | iwj: btw, for the record, that was the first time I've seen cops at a Mozilla event ;) | 05:42 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: I gather you're using dapper, then. Could you clarify exactly what version? | 05:43 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: actually the original cd i was working off is an xubuntu edgy beta 1 cd | 05:44 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: why are you using a beta rather than the release? | 05:44 |
| === cormil [i=cormil@213.215.131.221] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | there was no "beta 1" - I guess you mean either Knot 1 or the Beta, but I'm not sure | 05:44 |
| cjwatson | the final release has no such line in the preseed file, which is why I'm asking | 05:45 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: erm... because it was in my cd wallet and a dapper one wasnt and i was at work? | 05:45 |
| iwj | mconnor: Right, I believe you :-). | 05:45 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: well it claims to be xubuntu but it does have dapper listed in the sources.list file which i did think was odd | 05:46 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: that suggests strongly that it's not edgy | 05:46 |
| cjwatson | I think you have either a mislabelled dapper CD or a very very early (probably broken) edgy CD. the .disk/info file on the CD would tell me for sure | 05:46 |
| cjwatson | HumanPrototype: anyway, have a look at /preseed/server.seed on the CD - there's a bit at the top of that to avoid installing usplash | 05:47 |

| === sdrik [n=cedric@gifu.newel.net] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] | ||
| mconnor | next up is figuring out why we have binary bits in our tarballs :) | 05:49 |
| cjwatson | pitti: some of those uploads are older versions than in the archive - there's 6.10+20061019~prop1 in there. Should I just remove those? | 05:50 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson: thanks | 05:50 |
| iwj | mconnor: Have you had any conversations with any of the Debian guys ? I tried to encourage them to talk to you but I think they're quite busy. | 05:50 |
| pitti | cjwatson: yes, please | 05:50 |
| mconnor | hey, maybe someone knows this here, someone was talking about an OSS project that distributes the trademarked/copyrighted bits in a second source tarball | 05:50 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I should sort those out myself next time, thanks for the reminder | 05:50 |
| mconnor | iwj: I have not, but caillon has had quite a few | 05:51 |
| iwj | Ah, good. | 05:51 |
| pitti | cjwatson: the scripts for handling -proposed uploads are far from being sophisticated and user-friendly yet :( | 05:51 |

| === iwj gets out the CD lens cleaner. | ||
| cjwatson | which ones do you want? :) | 05:52 |
| mconnor | iwj: things are looking better wrt being able to base Debian/Ubuntu off our stock tarballs by Fx3, instead of you guys needing to do some crazy surgery | 05:52 |
| ogra | ARGH | 05:53 |
| pitti | cjwatson: packs are only rebuilt if there is new data for them, so versions are all different | 05:53 |
| === apokryphos- [n=apokryph@87-194-86-227.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | cjwatson: 6.10+20061019~prop1 is an 'old' one, the rest should be fine | 05:54 |
| iwj | mconnor: That would be an improvement, certainly. | 05:54 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: anyway, you make a directory in ~lp_queue/manual-queue/incoming/, punt everything in there, and do 'LPCONFIG=ftpmaster /srv/launchpad.net/codelines/current/scripts/process-upload.py -C insecure -v -v -v -M ~lp_queue/manual_queue/' (i.e. the thing in lp_queue's crontab but adding -M and changing the directory) | 05:54 |
| mconnor | iwj: so, uh, question about how you guys handle updates | 05:55 |
| HumanPrototype | cjwatson, ogra: thanks again for all the help, ill probably be back again soon | 05:55 |
| cjwatson | and when we're frozen you have to use queue -M too, so yes it's true that pitti could just have uploaded them at the moment 'cos they wouldn't have been directly accepted, but it's better not to get into that habit | 05:55 |
| ogra | edubuntu-install is broken ... apparently i have no inetd on the CD anymore | 05:55 |
| mconnor | if we collect all of the random patches that Debian/Red Hat/Ubuntu/Novell have been collecting and get them on the branch, how is that going to work out? | 05:56 |
| cjwatson | ogra: you need to seed an inetd (openbsd-inetd?) explicitly now - netbase doesn't depend on it any more | 05:56 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: actually, I'm using -N 2>&1 first and grepping for Subject: to catch rejectiong | 05:56 |
| cjwatson | rejections | 05:57 |
| iwj | mconnor: Each time we take a new upstream, we do a merge, essentially. Patches that have gone upstream turn into conflicts and we double-check that it's all gone right and throw away our diffs. | 05:57 |
| ogra | cjwatson, ouch, ok, i used to have netkit-inetd .... | 05:57 |
| ogra | hmm | 05:57 |
| iwj | Sometimes we do something equivalent which is a bit less painful. | 05:57 |
| cjwatson | ogra: what's it used for? | 05:57 |
| ogra | actually it is seeded it seems | 05:57 |
| iwj | mconnor: Here `upstream' refers both to you and to Debian. | 05:57 |
| ogra | ogra@edubuntu:~$ apt-cache show netkit-inetd|grep -i task | 05:58 |
| ogra | Task: edubuntu-server | 05:58 |
| ogra | cjwatson, tftp | 05:58 |
| mconnor | yeah, that complicates things, since their changes always seem opaque until I make Mike Hommey mad enough to explain... | 05:58 |
| iwj | mconnor: Anything that hasn't gone upstream, we keep. Debian do the same. | 05:58 |
| Riddell | ubuntu seeds don't seem to have inetd in them except in server-ship | 05:59 |
| ogra | hmm, i wonder where it got that task entry from ... its not specifically seeded | 05:59 |
| mconnor | and if those aren't "security" patches, is that still ok? | 05:59 |
| iwj | mconnor: In theory all of the relevant info should be in the debian/changelog but perhaps not always in the kind of detail you're looking for. | 05:59 |
| cjwatson | ogra: ltsp-server depends on netkit-inetd | 05:59 |
| === nags [n=nags@59.144.48.186] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| ogra | ah, right | 05:59 |
| ogra | well, it isnt, unless ... hmm, wait | 05:59 |
| mconnor | iwj: its hard to tell what's in the current patchset when a lot of the changelog talks about bugs we've fixed upstream | 05:59 |
| ogra | tftpd-hpa complains about missing update-inetd ... | 06:00 |
| === ogra checks netkit-inetd | ||
| cjwatson | that's in the update-inetd package now | 06:00 |
| ogra | argh, who makes such silly decisions .... | 06:00 |
| cjwatson | I'm not absolutely sure what's going on with that split; you may need to do some research into Debian changes | 06:00 |
| ogra | a package for a single script ? | 06:00 |
| cjwatson | don't assume it's silly until you've looked into it | 06:00 |
| cjwatson | it's separated because it should be used for multiple inetd | 06:00 |
| cjwatson | s | 06:00 |
| cjwatson | at least that's my understanding of it | 06:00 |
| ogra | indeed ... but still ... its not *that* big | 06:01 |
| cjwatson | please don't have such knee-jerk reactions | 06:01 |
| === jonib1 [n=jonas@ua-83-227-144-18.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| iwj | mconnor: Yes. The changelog of the Debian version contains the complete history of the package as seen from Debian. | 06:01 |
| cjwatson | I very much doubt that it was split due to size | 06:01 |
| ogra | cjwatson, i'll try to hold back in the future ... | 06:01 |
| iwj | mconnor: Our changelogs are a bit different - we have a new policy of recording all of the differences between us and Debian in one entry at the top of the changelog, although lots of stuff may still be duplicated below. | 06:02 |
| mconnor | iwj: this is why I like the set of patches approach, since that makes it easier to track and understand the changes (and also to throw stuff away once its no longer needed :)) | 06:03 |

| seb128 | hum | 06:52 |
| spike | on the installe dsystem disks show up as /dev/cciss/c0d0p1, where cciss is the compaq thingie | 06:52 |
| seb128 | I've upload a new upstream version of a package | 06:52 |
| seb128 | and then a new revision | 06:52 |
| spike | but I cant find what I'm supposed topass to preseed to get that working | 06:52 |
| seb128 | and it did "Unable to find glade-3_3.1.2.orig.tar.gz in the distribution." | 06:52 |
| seb128 | is that due to the freeze? | 06:52 |
| seb128 | like the tarball is not published? | 06:53 |
| seb128 | should I upload the tarball again? or wait for after the freeze to upload? | 06:53 |
| pitti | seb128: right, I got the same | 06:54 |
| pitti | seb128: I guess you should just wait for unfreeze and stack the uploads somewhere | 06:54 |
| seb128 | grumpf | 06:54 |
| seb128 | well, yeah | 06:54 |
| seb128 | do we unfreeze soon? :p | 06:54 |
| pitti | seb128: stacking might be a good idea anyway; I have the feeling that if you upload the same version twice, the newer one overwrites the older upload instead of being rejected | 06:54 |
| seb128 | it's start being tricky to get work done | 06:55 |
| pitti | so I won't know if any of my uploads have been killed by an upload from someone else | 06:55 |

| seb128 | cjwatson: ok, thank you | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | pitti: even if that soyuz bug still exists, at minimum you'll see both uploads in -changes, so you'll know | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | but I think now one will get rejected on accept | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | (not guaranteed) | 07:29 |
| seb128 | do you think that herd-1 will be ready soon? | 07:30 |
| cjwatson | yes, Tollef said he was planning to do it tonight | 07:31 |
| cjwatson | always assuming there are no *more* unexpected roadblocks | 07:31 |
| seb128 | does it make sense to keep the freeze that long? herd-2 is planned for soon, we should maybe drop on herd-1 | 07:31 |
| seb128 | ok | 07:31 |
| cjwatson | yes, it makes sense | 07:31 |
| cjwatson | we need to get a milestone out, desperately | 07:31 |
| seb128 | well, that one is really early in the cycle | 07:32 |
| seb128 | but right | 07:32 |
| cjwatson | yes, there's always one as soon as the installer is ready | 07:32 |
| cjwatson | we need that | 07:32 |
| cjwatson | you might not, but I do :) | 07:32 |
| seb128 | right | 07:32 |
| seb128 | we need to figure a way to not freeze for a week next time though | 07:32 |
| cjwatson | I don't hear about new installer problems until awkwardly late otherwise | 07:33 |
| cjwatson | I don't really think there's much to figure out - I think we just made a mistake in freezing before it had been basically confirmed to work | 07:33 |
| cjwatson | (to some degree) | 07:33 |
| seb128 | ok | 07:33 |
| seb128 | I'm trying to read what's going on the chan but it's not real clear to me why it's taking that long | 07:34 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: do you have the script that produces http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/testing/feisty_probs.html available somewhere? | 07:34 |
| cjwatson | seb128: none of the images worked? :P | 07:34 |
| seb128 | I'll let you guys do your job and keep working where I'm not blocked by the freeze | 07:34 |
| cjwatson | also nobody who's off EU-ish timezones has been working on it, so we've only had 10 or so hours per day basically | 07:35 |
| cjwatson | having somebody in a different timezone would help | 07:35 |
| seb128 | right | 07:35 |
| cjwatson | however, the desktop CDs are ready now, I believe - it's just a matter of fixing alternates | 07:37 |
| seb128 | good to know :) | 07:38 |
| Riddell | cjwatson: what's wrong with alternates? | 07:38 |
| seb128 | almost there then ;) | 07:38 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: we ran into a germinate bug that meant that bittorrent wasn't installable (it didn't understand "Depends: python (>= 2.5) | python2.5") and therefore gnome-btdownload wasn't uninstallable; didn't affect Kubuntu | 07:39 |
| Riddell | oh yes, not my worry | 07:39 |
| cjwatson | Tollef has already respun all affected images | 07:39 |
| cjwatson | so anyone who cares about the freeze being over and can easily do so, please test | 07:40 |

| pitti | cjwatson: for the record, ppc/alternate worked fine | 07:49 |
| pitti | shall I do amd64, too? | 07:49 |
| cjwatson | pitti: if you have time, yes please | 07:51 |
| cjwatson | although you should enjoy your evening at some point | 07:51 |
| pitti | oh, girlfriend is at accordion concert rehearsal, that's fine :-p | 07:52 |
| pitti | I'll do amd64 then, but I can't do i386 (not enough bandwidth) | 07:52 |
| cjwatson | I'm doing i386 in vmware | 07:53 |
| cjwatson | only regression from edgy I've noticed so far is that the new automatic partitioner no longer skips the scary manual partitioning screen | 07:54 |
| pitti | hm, I did manual on ppc, so I didn't notice | 07:54 |
| cjwatson | which doesn't surprise me really, as that was a very complicated merge | 07:54 |
| pitti | I'm going to do automatic 'wipe all' for amd64 | 07:54 |
| pitti | cjwatson: only major thing I noticed was the absence of update-inetd | 07:54 |
| pitti | but that only affects things post-install | 07:55 |
| ogra | well, it affected edubuntu and ltsp | 07:55 |
| ogra | and i really wonder why its not a dep of netkit-inetd ... | 07:56 |
| pitti | ogra: you fixed it in edubuntu? | 07:56 |
| pitti | added a dep to it somewhere, or just sticked it into -standard? | 07:56 |
| ogra | well, i made ltsp-server depend on it, since ltsp requires tftpd to be run by inetd in our setup | 07:56 |
| cjwatson | ogra: I think it not being a dependency of netkit-inetd is a bug | 07:57 |
| ogra | right | 07:57 |
| pitti | automatic keyboard detecting is screwed (considers my US layout as JP), but oh well... | 07:58 |
| pitti | IIRC that was already discussed with smurf, right? | 07:58 |

| cjwatson | mind you, netkit-inetd doesn't actually use update-inetd itself | 07:59 |
| ajmitch | doko: want me to upload ironpython 1.0.1 to experimental? I haven't started on it yet | 07:59 |
| cjwatson | so maybe it is not a bug | 07:59 |
| cjwatson | it depends on what's actually failing | 07:59 |
| ogra | cjwatson, thats why i choose to make ltsp-server depend on it | 07:59 |
| ogra | you cant make tftpd-hpa make depend on it either, since that can also run standalone | 08:00 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I noticed that postfix failed to install, so maybe postfix itself should depend on update-inetd | 08:00 |
| cjwatson | one alternative would be switching to openbsd-inetd, since that depends on update-inetd | 08:00 |
| cjwatson | and then netbase would pull it in | 08:00 |
| ogra | does it behave any different to netkit-inetd ? i never tried it | 08:01 |
| cjwatson | we could also just make our netbase depend on update-inetd for a while | 08:01 |
| pitti | hmm, seems that vmware install of the alternate is busted, it doesn't detect a drive | 08:01 |
| cjwatson | pitti: yeah, you have to use an IDE disk, it's a kernel bug | 08:01 |
| cjwatson | scsi-modules is incomplete | 08:01 |
| cjwatson | ogra: it's supposed to be better ... | 08:01 |
| pitti | ok, maybe I better do this on real hw then | 08:01 |
| cjwatson | vmware IDE disk works ifne | 08:01 |
| cjwatson | fine | 08:01 |
| pitti | see you later, then, rebooting | 08:02 |
| ogra | then i'll try it for ltsp | 08:02 |
| cjwatson | pitti: keyboard detection> yes, known, not a showstopper | 08:02 |
| pitti | argh, need to burn first :) | 08:02 |
| ogra | i think i read somewhere about netkit-inetd being abandoned by debian after etch, but i may be wrong | 08:02 |
| cjwatson | I believe that's right | 08:03 |
| cjwatson | openbsd-inetd is netbase's preferred alternative in Debian | 08:03 |
| ogra | so the best time to switch then :) | 08:03 |
| cjwatson | ok, I think I see the partman-auto bug, but I'll test that later | 08:03 |

| fdoving | pitti: it's just that the step-by-step guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates (step 5.3) says I should generate the .changes against the base version in the distro.

| fdoving | pitti: ok. keep all changelog entries and use debuild with -v, thanks :) | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | psusi: the spec outlines the reasons for that | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | if udev doesn't create it, then we have a race condition | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | we can't use udev rules and events to use that device | 11:16 |
| psusi | Keybuk: as far as I can see, we want udev to respond to the underlying physical devices by probing them and calling the correct utility to set up the device mapper... I see no reason to continue having that utility create the dev node | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | which means we won't be able to mount it | 11:16 |
| psusi | why do we want any udev rules at all for the virtual device? | 11:17 |
| Keybuk | to mount it | 11:17 |
| Keybuk | root=/dev/mapper/... | 11:17 |
| psusi | sorry, no reason NOT to coninue having the utility create the dev node | 11:17 |
| Keybuk | or /dev/mapper/... in fstab | 11:17 |
| Keybuk | that won't work unless udev can reliably hang on those | 11:17 |
| psusi | how so? it's the init script that needs to wait for the /dev/mapper/* to be created | 11:18 |
| psusi | udev can make sure that happens by responding to the underlying physical device with a scan and dmsetup | 11:18 |
| Keybuk | psusi: BZZT | 11:18 |
| jdong | psusi: ooh, pretty :) | 11:18 |
| Keybuk | init script? | 11:18 |
| Keybuk | what's one of those? | 11:18 |
| psusi | the init script in the root of the inintramfs | 11:18 |
| Keybuk | do you mean an upstart task, which is run as a result of a udev event? :) | 11:18 |
| psusi | the one that processes the root= kernel command line parameter | 11:19 |
| Keybuk | dmsetup doesn't work | 11:19 |
| psusi | doesn't work? | 11:19 |
| Keybuk | not for this | 11:19 |
| psusi | substitute the correct utility that configures device mapper | 11:20 |
| psusi | such as dmraid, or vgchange | 11:20 |
| Keybuk | and how do we know when the /dev/mapper/... device is ready? | 11:20 |
| psusi | the important thing is that when the underlying device(s) are detected, udev configures the device mapper | 11:20 |
| psusi | it is ready when it has been created | 11:21 |
| Keybuk | *sigh* | 11:21 |
| Keybuk | you've completely missed the point of these specs | 11:21 |
| psusi | is the point not to get rid of the horrible local-top scripts and their race conditions? | 11:21 |
| Keybuk | no | 11:21 |
| Keybuk | the point is to get rid of ALL of the race conditions | 11:21 |
| jdong | psusi: if e2defrag is violently interrupted, it's not atomic right? (i.e. I'm gonna end up with a paperweight) | 11:21 |
| Keybuk | not just in the initramfs | 11:21 |
| psusi | well, yea | 11:22 |
| psusi | and to make the system fully plug and play | 11:22 |
| Keybuk | so in fstab we have /dev/mapper/wibble | 11:22 |
| psusi | i.e. you can plug in a pair of usb disks at run time with an lvm volume on them and it will be recognized and mounted | 11:22 |
| Keybuk | yes | 11:22 |
| === lexi_ [n=lexi@pD9E817FD.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | and in those lvm volumes you could have a crypted filesystem that is decrypted and mounted, forming part of another lvm block | 11:23 |
| Keybuk | yada yada yada | 11:23 |
| psusi | right | 11:23 |
| psusi | ohhh | 11:23 |
| psusi | ok... I wasn't thinking of the nested case | 11:23 |
| psusi | although... still that could be handled in the event handers for the real hardware still | 11:23 |
| Keybuk | to be honest, you weren't thinking of the non-nested case either | 11:23 |
| Keybuk | to mount /dev/mapper/FOO you need to *know* when /dev/mapper/FOO has been created | 11:23 |
| Keybuk | which means you need something watching for it | 11:24 |
| Keybuk | this is inefficient | 11:24 |
| psusi | ohhhh... ok... I was just thinking about the device creation, not about also mounting it | 11:24 |
| Keybuk | udev gets uevents for device-mapper block devices anyway | 11:24 |
| Keybuk | so we may as well use those events to create the /dev/mapper/FOO device | 11:24 |
| Keybuk | and then we can use the same events to mount the device | 11:24 |
| Keybuk | etc. | 11:24 |
| === bronson [n=bronson@66.160.177.204] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| psusi | right.... now I see a problem though | 11:25 |
| psusi | how do you know what to name it? vgchange knows what it wants to name it, but when udev gets the event, it only knows it as dm-0 | 11:25 |
| Keybuk | the spec answers that question | 11:27 |
| Keybuk | the kernel knows what name device-mapper has assigned to it | 11:27 |
| Keybuk | so udev can know too | 11:27 |
| Keybuk | and udev can pass *that* name on to things like HAL | 11:27 |
| psusi | wait a second... why can't udev just mount it while handling the underlying physical device insertion event? | 11:27 |
| === Tonio__ [n=tonio@13.8.100-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| psusi | afaik, the kernel only knows the name 'dm-0' | 11:28 |
| Mithrandir | psusi: dmsetup table lists the other name, doesn't it? | 11:28 |
| psusi | hrm.... | 11:29 |
| psusi | maybe the kernel does know it... strange that it still uses the name dm-0 in sysfs | 11:29 |
| lexi_ | hmm... just learned there is an initialramfs inside the ubuntu-kernel (at least for 686). what is it for and could one use a copy of it as initrd in /boot ? | 11:30 |
| psusi | anyhow... here is how I see the chain of events: disk1 is plugged in... udev scans this disk to see if it is lvm... if it is, but needs disk2, nothing is done yet | 11:30 |
| === eggauah [n=daniel@201.72.60.3] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| psusi | disk2 is plugged in... udev scans disk2, and finds that it now has both disks for the vg.... sets up the vg and configures the dm devices to access the volumes, then mounts them | 11:31 |
| Keybuk | yes... | 11:31 |
| Keybuk | actually, it's far easier | 11:31 |
| Keybuk | udev scans disk-1, sees its lvm, runs vmblah (which does nothing as its not complete) | 11:31 |
| Keybuk | udev scans disk-2, sees its lvm, runs vmblah (which constructs the map) | 11:32 |
| Keybuk | udev sees dm-0 being created, creates /dev/mapper/VG-LV | 11:32 |
| Keybuk | udev sees /dev/mapper/VG-LV being created, mounts it | 11:32 |
| Lure | Keybuk: s/vmblah/vgchange -a y/ ;-) | 11:33 |
| psusi | what's wrong with doing it all in response to the first event instead of splitting the mounting part off into the response to the dm device being created? | 11:33 |
| Keybuk | more complicated | 11:33 |
| Keybuk | you have to write the same code 10 times | 11:33 |
| psusi | 10 times? | 11:33 |
| Keybuk | once for normal disks, once for device maps, once for lvm, once for evms, once for raid, etc. | 11:33 |
| Keybuk | if you write them as little pieces that stack, you only need to do it once | 11:34 |
| psusi | hrm.... well, I guess it is conceptually a little nicer to let udev handle the recursion | 11:34 |
| psusi | driven by the dm events | 11:34 |
| psusi | instead of scripting it | 11:34 |
| Keybuk | much nicer | 11:35 |
| Keybuk | and a lot less error prone | 11:35 |
| Keybuk | the thing about scripts is that they're racey | 11:35 |
| Keybuk | oops, damn, that device wasn't actually *ready* yet, etc. | 11:35 |
| psusi | I'm thinking though that the kernel side needs patching to use the given name isntead of the default name | 11:35 |
| Keybuk | why? | 11:36 |
| psusi | I think the given name can be stored and retrieved via ioctls right now, but sysfs and thus udev are only told dm-0 | 11:36 |
| Keybuk | the kernel names sysfs objects with an enumerated number | 11:36 |
| Keybuk | this is consistent | 11:36 |
| psusi | hrm... just seems odd to have it use a generic name when it knows the correct one | 11:36 |
| Keybuk | the object should contain a sysfs property with the name, yes | 11:36 |
| Keybuk | but it's easy enough to find out until it does | 11:36 |
| psusi | ok... I guess that's alright... then udev just needs to look up the proper name and use that to create the dev node | 11:37 |

| Keybuk | or similar | 11:43 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: btw, look at pyrex for doing bindings | 11:43 |
| lifeless | its slick | 11:43 |
| Keybuk | psusi: that would be that udev-mdadm spec | 11:43 |
| Keybuk | lifeless: for landscape? | 11:43 |
| jdong | Keybuk: ok. does that work in Feisty? | 11:43 |
| Keybuk | jdong: never tested it, but it should | 11:43 |
| jdong | Keybuk: I tried something similar to that in Edgy and ATTR{max_sectors} did not actually set max_sectors | 11:43 |
| lifeless | or rctypes, but thats not as slick at the moment IMO | 11:44 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: for libupstart | 11:44 |
| psusi | well, I might just dig back into the libdevmapper code to take care of that part, then handle the dmraid case | 11:44 |
| lifeless | I'd like python bindings in and of themselves :) | 11:44 |
| Keybuk | lifeless: yeah, I have no clue at this point how to do bindings | 11:44 |
| jdong | ok, psusi, you're not on my hitlist. e2defrag worked | 11:44 |
| Keybuk | jdong: that behaviour is new in feisty | 11:44 |
| psusi | by the way.... these udev rules and their helper scripts should go in the dmraid/lvm/whatever package not the udev package right? | 11:45 |
| lifeless | I'll mail you a couple of files | 11:45 |
| jdong | Keybuk: ah, ok, cool | 11:45 |
| Keybuk | psusi: right | 11:45 |
| jdong | Keybuk: so can we have it? <g> | 11:45 |
| psusi | jdong: lol, yay ;) | 11:45 |
| Keybuk | jdong: if you test it | 11:45 |
| psusi | jdong: now if only I could get it to build on ia64, sparc, and ppc ;) | 11:45 |
| jdong | psusi: btw what's the verdict on what happens if e2defrag is interrupted? | 11:45 |
| jdong | psusi: I'm guessing bad idea | 11:45 |
| cjwatson | fdoving: pitti's interpretation is correct; I've edited the wiki page to clarify | 11:45 |

| allee | Hi, I'm trying to hunt down a regression in dapper: usbsticks can be mounted via hal anymore. hal --verbose showed that hal-system-storage-mount was not found. Copying the script from Edgy solved it. Where I'm stuck is that all hal version in dapper did not contain this script and the fdi files in all dapper hal pkgs list the script. But it did work before. Any hint how to continue nailing down what's wrong? | 11:48 |
| pitti | allee: the storage scripts have been explicitly removed from Debian | 11:48 |
| pitti | allee: erk, s/debian/dapper/ | 11:49 |
| pitti | allee: and we introduced them in edgy | 11:49 |
| pitti | allee: there were no such scripts in breezy | 11:49 |
| fdoving | cjwatson: your edit is also true for step 5 i presume? (i can edit that step, if you ack) | 11:49 |
| pitti | allee: that wasn't an accidental regression, but an explicit design decision | 11:49 |
| jdong | psusi: e2defrag's script is reasonably speedy | 11:49 |
| jdong | psusi: though that's a longer achilles heel than I ever want handling my important data | 11:50 |
| allee | pitti: interesting. And how did USB stick mounting work in dapper? I know it worked today before I dist-upgraded a dapper system not updated since 24-Okt? | 11:50 |
| allee | s/?/!/ | 11:50 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: mail sent | 11:50 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: it should be obvious enough to bootstrap you - its a binding to readdir() | 11:51 |
| psusi | well, it isn't a script, but yea... the algorithm is nice and quick | 11:51 |
| === finalbeta [n=finalbet@d5152A68A.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Keybuk | lifeless: converting C idioms into Python is the interesting bit for me | 11:54 |
| Keybuk | e.g. how do I make sure that when a python object is freed, I can free the C memory | 11:54 |
| jdong | Keybuk: object=None | 11:54 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: right. you implement __del__ | 11:54 |
| jdong | actually, that only strongly hints that it should disappear | 11:54 |
| jdong | :) | 11:55 |
| Keybuk | upstart obviously uses a hierarchical allocator, which may make things more interesting | 11:55 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: thats the only hook you have to run code on object free. | 11:55 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: talloc ? | 11:55 |
| Keybuk | no, nih_alloc | 11:55 |
| lifeless | ! | 11:55 |
| allee | pitti: ah, clarification regession is not breezy -> dapper but dapper -> dapper dist-upgrade to get latest sec fixes | 11:56 |
| Keybuk | (which I originally wrote during tridge's talk <g> | 11:56 |
| lifeless | Keybuk: how does it differ to talloc, so I can make suggestions | 11:56 |
| pitti | allee: no, security updates definitively didn't disable storage scripts; they have been removed in dapper final | 11:56 |
| Keybuk | lifeless: much, much simpler | 11:56 |
| pitti | allee: they might have been present in dapper beta or so | 11:56 |
