shackan_I know the hassle of burning a cd and rebooting, I haven't burned isos for years, always installed writing to my real disk from vmware (always without a hitch)12:13
=== CypherBIOS [n=cypher@ubuntu/member/cypherbios] has joined #ubuntu-devel
shackan_but I install a new operating system at most a couple of times a year, how often do people try out new livecd, actually ?12:13

bluefoxicyshackan_:   What would be the overall detriment?12:20
bluefoxicyabout 400-600k of space used on the livecd...12:20
shackan_it's just a lot of work (to get qvm86 into good shape) for an uncommon use case, people will just slap the cd and reboot12:21
bluefoxicyshackan_:  if I can make qvm86 run Ubuntu as-is I won't need much work.12:22
shackan_then, just do it :)12:22

jdongis feisty to adopt cdrkit instead of cdrecord?12:29
jdongapologies in advance if that's a stupid question12:29
cjwatsonI believe so12:30
cjwatsonit's already been synced and stuff12:30
jdongyeah, looking at my madison-lite it seems like it12:30
jdongcdrecord is being provided by cdrkit12:30
jdongcool12:30
jdongcjwatson: who is typicall in charge of the burning stuff?12:30
cjwatsonwe generally go with that sort of thing unless there's a particular reason not to12:31
cjwatsonjdong: nobody really in Ubuntu12:31
jdongok12:31
jdongI was just wondering if it'd be a worthwhile backport for Edgy12:31
jdongI've heard cdrkit is supposed to solve some cdrecord bugs12:31
=== jelmer [n=jelmer@gwalcmai.vernstok.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdongand it just built fine for edgy and I'm testing burning some ISO's at the moment12:32
bluefoxicyTHE CLICKING IS PISSING ME OFF12:32
cjwatsonit's a bit messy - transitional packages and stuff12:32
=== bluefoxicy CPU makes staticey noises when it's busy.. electrical... it's not even the hard disk ugh...
jdongbluefoxicy: capacitors12:32
jdongbluefoxicy: not CPU ;-)12:32
bluefoxicyjdong:  throttle someone12:32
jdongI love you too, bluefoxicy :)12:32
bluefoxicyjdong:  how's your pax kernel :)12:33
jdongbluefoxicy: vdso=0 didn't do the trick12:33
jdongbut oh well12:33
jdongI should play with the options a lot more when I get a chance12:33
jdongI definitely believe it's PaX causing it12:33
jdongbut even pax_softmode doesn't help12:33
jdongand I can't exactly stack trace or coredump in initramfs12:33
jdonggrsecurity.... blocks dumping core because it's greater than 4096bytes12:34
jdongand btw, bluefoxicy, I have seen a case where a livecd does cause windows to fail booting up12:34
jdongas silly as it sounds12:34
bluefoxicyjdong:  nods12:34
shackan_how?12:34
jdongit happens on a lot of Dell consumer PC's when XP was first released (around that time)12:35
bluefoxicyjdong: you got time this weekend to pop in #pax?12:35
jdongwindows has its special ways of shutting down the machine12:35
jdonglinux doesn't do it the same way12:35
jdongif Linux does the shutdown, XP BSOD's on the next bootup12:35
jdongbut another 2 or 3 boot cycles will make XP boot ok again12:36
jdongreally peculiar12:36
shackan_eeek12:36
jdongbut I've personally witnessed it happen12:36
jdongand it was the scariest experience12:36
jdongso keep that in mind before popping in LiveCD's everywhere :)12:36

jdongcjwatson: the transitioning requires a dist-upgrade to effect the upgrade....12:37
jdongso hmm12:37
jdongthough Edgy's update-manager auto-offers dist-upgrade if a standard update can't do the trick12:37
jdongwow, update-manager does it without dist-upgrade12:38
jdongonly at the CLI a regular apt-get upgrade will hold back the cdrecord stuff12:38
jdongadept handles it well too12:38
jdongrequires postinst configuration too12:43
jdongok, no cdrkit for Edgy12:43
jdongunless I get a really compelling reason12:43
=== jdong installs cdrkit on his laptop anyway

holycow:)07:46
holycowis feisty looking like it will keep metacity or use something like compiz as a compositing manager?07:47
holycowjust curious about aiglx + metacity and whether or not any discussion has been had around that07:47

Fujitsuholycow: I don't believe they are being seriously considered any more, fortunately.08:02
holycowreally? *phew*08:02
holycowwould be nice NOT to become fedora i think, officially running pre alpha stuff ... heh08:03
FujitsuA lot of people were rather... angry? ... when it was announced as a specification.08:03
holycowyeah, we are starting to weer into some uncharted territories08:04
holycowthe distro for human beings i think means not using its userbase as a huge guinea pig population08:06
holycowthere are distros that specialize in running very untested stuff ... some thought needs to be given to stability vs. latest and greatest08:07

superjonYeah it is called Foresight Linux... distro that runs broken^H^H^H^H^H^H Bleeding edge code08:08

superjonwell there were 2 cow users as I remember08:15
holycowi know novell stoped dropping resources on it but ya never know it could still end up being the bling08:15
superjonSo am I, but they are furiously trying to work on hula-store which is a dead end08:15
superjonIf they would just release a 1.0 of hula-lite, distributions would likely adopt it08:16

holycowsuperjon, indeed08:16
holycowbtw, if anyone cares ...08:17
superjonAlex Hudson seems to be the new "leader" from what I see in the ML, but he thinks hula-store is the way to go. Rewriting all of that is what caused campd to leave novell08:17
holycowthe reason i'm asking about the metacity/aiglx stuff is because i'm piloting ubuntu at work08:17
superjonFor normal desktops, or "techie" desktops?08:17
holycownormal deesktops *nod*08:18
superjon3 people on my team of 5 run ubuntu desktops at work08:18
holycowi'm hoping NOT to hear that compiz/beryl become some sort of standard especially for the next lts08:18
superjonWell people dont quite understand what that means08:18
holycowdapper has turned out to be a seriously superb desktop08:18
superjonIf beryl was used by default, it would use the heliodor window decorator which shares metacity themes and would be seriously toned down08:19
superjonNo wobbly windows by default08:19
holycowits not that, its just seriously faulty software08:19
superjonThe cube switcher, expose clone, dimming unresponsive windows, and minimize animations are actually more usable08:19
superjonHave you actually used a recent release?08:20
holycowno its beena while but the stuff is still what ... alpha?08:20
_ionShadows are also nice. They actually improve usability IMO.08:20
holycow_ion, they do08:20
_ionThey have matured nicely.08:20
superjonI've ran it for the past 3 months with few problems. The beryl leader, quinnstorm is solely working on bugfixing of the core08:20
holycowi think waiting to see how metacity starts handling stuff is a better strategy long term08:20

holycowwe loooooove to reinvent the wheel in th eopen source world and thats fine as an experiment08:21
superjonholycow Read what Elijah Newren, the metacity maintainer says08:21
holycowbut throwing out years of dev experince on metacity is kinda scary08:21
holycowokay googling08:21
superjonThe guys at redhat (mainly Soren) who were doing the metacity compositor dropped it dead. They moved to compiz08:21
jdubholycow: pretty strong agreement on d-d-l that pushing it into metacity *isn't* the right thing to do08:21
jdubholycow: while most of the metacity window management rules have been lifted into compiz08:21
holycowjdub, really?08:22
Hobbseejdub: d-d-l?08:22
superjonFrom what I read in the gnome mailinglist(s), compiz will likely be the longterm solution with metacity staying as a fallback and for thin clients08:22

tepsipakkisuperjon: if that's what glibc-2.5 brings in, then yes, I suppose..08:25
jdubsuperjon: no idea08:26

shawarmainfinity: Well, I have a build that fails on ia64 (and sparc, as it turns out). The package is apcalc and it fails during regression testing. The test that fails is a check to see if file descriptor 3 is attached to a tty.. So it could either be the detection code that messes it up, or file descriptor 3 on ia64 and sparc buildd's could actually be attached to a tty. 10:14
shawarmainfinity: So the question is: Is anything special being done on ia64 and sparc buildd's that could make file descriptor 3 attached to a tty?10:16

infinityshawarma: The existance of that as a rgression test seems odd anyway.  Why would we care if fd3 is a tty?10:32
shawarmainfinity: Oh, well, qemu can emulate a sparc, so I guess I could try doing a build in one of those.10:33
shawarmainfinity: Oh, I don't think that's the purpose. I think the purpose is to check if isatty does the right thing, and it's assumed that fd 3 i not a tty.10:33

infinityRiddell: Time for an MIR for exiv2.10:35

Riddellyeah, we have one, it was just for exiv2 to pass NEW10:36
infinityshawarma: Given than I can think of no reason why fd3 would be any different on ia64 and sparc than on the other arches.10:36
shawarmainfinity: True. The code looks very innocent though. And if it fails on fd 38, it's *definitely* the code that's failing.10:36

szachista_hello11:54
szachista_i'm not sure if it's a good place for this question, but11:55
szachista_where can i report misuse of ubuntu licence?11:55
szachista_i have read on fsf site that first it should be reported to the copyright holder11:55
szachista_does it mean canonical?11:55
Riddellcjwatson: cool11:56
szachista_the case is there is oen regional distro, just created few day before, which uses packages from ubuntu repository but it licence says the whole distro is freeware11:56
Riddellcjwatson: I'm looking at porting it to qt4 just now11:56
cjwatsonszachista_: I'd be inclined to mail info@ubuntu.com; most of the time that sort of thing is just a misunderstanding11:57
cjwatsonthey probably aren't actually breaking our licence (and note that we are only the copyright holder of parts of it), just misrepresenting it11:58

jdonglol07:14
jdongwasabi: it's a shame XFS doesn't like to delete files in a timely manner :D07:14
wasabiYeah. That is annoying.07:14
wasabiI do wish it had optional data journaling just for completeness too07:15
jdongaye07:15
jdongwasabi: also, on plebian x86 hardware, I can consistently corrupt XFS though intentional resets07:15
jdongso it ain't for general usage....07:15
wasabiYou mean hard power off?07:16
jdongright07:16
wasabiTotally. It caches too much07:16
jdonghard poweroff and hard reset07:16
wasabiYou need battery backed stuff.07:16
jdongwell, not just caching...07:16
jdongcaching can explain DATA being gone or corrupted07:16
jdongnot XFS refusing to mount, and xfs_repair zapping everything to lost+found07:16
jdongthat there is metadata corruption....07:16
wasabiHmm. Haven't had that for a long time.07:16
jdongwell07:16
wasabiThere was a bug in... <2.6.16 I think07:16
wasabiWhich introduced silent corruption.07:16
jdongthis behavior came back in Edgy for me07:16
jdongsilent corruption was 2.6.17.1-707:17
wasabiEh? Thought it was way before that.07:17
jdongbut what I experienced was not that07:17
jdongwasabi: unless you aren't talking about that dnode corruption fiasco?07:17
wasabiI don't know what the exact issue was.07:17
wasabiI just remember using xfs_db to fix it. =(07:17
jdongthat's dnode07:17
jdongintroduced early in the 2.6.17 tree07:18
jdongfixed in the point-7 release IIRC07:18
wasabiAhh, yeah, you're right. Just looked it up.07:18
jdongand to put salt in the wound xfs_repair wasn't able to detect/fix the issue :)07:18

wasabiYeah. I had to backport it from edgy or something07:18
jdongyep07:18
wasabiThat was depressing.07:18
jdongI bugged a while to get that updated xfstools past version freeze07:19

jdongwasabi: I love XFS too07:19
wasabiIt really loves dual cores.07:19
jdongwasabi: I use it to store my multimedia files07:19
wasabi/dev/evms/shares      548G  528G   21G  97% /shares07:19
jdongwhich ext3 and reiser simply choke on07:19
wasabisame =)07:19
jdongaye, exactly07:19
jdongtorrents, too07:19
jdongext3 fragments my 20GB torrents into 5 fragments or so per MB by the time it's done07:20
wasabiI set up a new box at work last thurs... I started with ext3.07:20
jdongneedless to say it doesn't exactly read back with ease ;-)07:20
wasabiAs soon as I got under heavy IO node, xchat locked up.07:20
wasabiBlocking on it's log files.07:20
wasabis/node/load/07:20
jdongyep07:20
wasabiThat pissed me off, so I tar'd it all up and went back to xfs07:20
jdongreiser is better with data writes07:20
jdongbut has the same issues with metadata07:20
jdongdelete 1 million files, you won't be able to move your MOUSE until it finishes07:20

wasabiwonder why that stuff doesnt' get backgrounded in an intelligent manor.07:21
wasabimanner07:21
jdongif I understand correctly it's an issue of kernel locks07:21
jdongespecially with reiserfs...07:21
jdongthere's some serious scalability issues with reiserfs07:21
wasabiI've noticed that too though. Blowing away a 4GB file on XFS... basically locks everything up.07:21
jdongif you have like 20 or so of them mounted, all of them will be very sluggish07:22
jdongthe problem isn't nearly as bad on XFS07:22
jdongbut yes, it does show up07:22
jdongI think on XFS it's purely an issue of the IO scheduler not playing fairlty07:22
wasabiI don't really understand why.07:22
jdongsame with ext307:22
wasabiI've always though it would be a relatively small manner to just write down the delete in some log, and work on it in the background.07:22
jdongwasabi: apparently xfs deletion is quite some rocket science07:23
jdongI was told that on #xfs07:23
jdongthere's quite a deal of B+tree rebalancing done in the process07:23
wasabihmm.07:23
jdongand all that balancing is inturn eventually deleted anyway ;-)07:23
jdongespecially if your'e removing a large directory tree07:23
jdongthat is just screaming to be optimized ;-)07:23
wasabiguess nobody is being paid to work on it anymore eh?07:23
wasabithere were two sgi contractors i thought... before sgi ate it.07:24
jdongthere's still sgi folk actively working on XFS07:24
wasabisandeen or something07:24
jdongyep07:24
jdongSandeen07:24
jdongand there's another one too07:24
wasabiDo they actually get paid by SGI?07:24

jdongprobably not for long :D07:26
wasabiso sad07:26
YagisanI used to use JFS instead of XFS, almost same performance, but lower cpu use07:26
jdongpersonally... I hope ext4's promised changes will fix it07:26
wasabiI never really looked much at JFS.07:26
jdongand make it much more performance-competent07:26
jdongJFS is pretty nice07:26
wasabiIt got merged into mainline after I made teh switch to XFS.07:26
jdongthough there's a few oddities07:26
wasabiSo I never really started learning about it07:27
jdongi.e. NEVER EVER MOUNT BEFORE FSCKING07:27
wasabiheh07:27
Yagisanit and xfs where slow on delete so I did recently change it07:27
jdongjournal replay is done by fsck07:27
wasabiand mounting doesn't abort?07:27
jdongYagisan: it's apparently due to the B+tree nature and the need to rebalance the trees on delete07:27
jdongwasabi: no, it happily mounts and then starts screaming about node corruption07:27
wasabiand that's not a 4 line patch? heh07:28
jdongwasabi: you're supposed to mount it ro, fsck it , then mount it rw07:28
jdongwasabi: apparently "everyone knows that" :D07:28
Yagisanfirst I heard of it07:28
jdongYagisan: well, good I saved you from looking dumb :D07:28
wasabiOn the topic of obscoure file systems. I started playing with AFS again07:28
Yagisanoddly, I found jfs outperformed xfs on my software raid07:28
Yagisanand xfs on non-raid07:28
Yagisan(media, torrents, and many many pbuilder runs)07:29
Yagisanin the end, I went back to slower ext3 with full journalling07:29
jdongYagisan: jfs is not a bad performer by any stats07:29
jdongin fact, I have found JFS to be the most responsive under heavy IO07:29
wasabipbuilder sucks because of deletes, right?07:29
Yagisanthe low cpu usuage is really nice on jfs07:29
jdongwasabi: right07:29
jdongwasabi: takes 30s to clean up pbuilder on XFS, 10s on ext3, 1s on reiser07:30
wasabiheh.07:30
jdongYagisan: JFS has _consistent_ performance07:30
jdongsure it may be slow at times compared to the compettiion07:30
jdongbut it never wildly fluxuates from task to task07:30
jdong*ahem* reiser07:30
wasabiI'd sure like to see a file system with COW copies.07:30

wasabiI bet you could make a fuse thing do it pretty easy07:31
wasabiin fact... googles.07:31
Yagisanmasses and masses of many small files07:31
wasabiI bet somebody else has already thought of it07:31
Yagisan(gigs of doxigenated source)07:31
jdongI have nothing against reiserfs at all07:32
jdongit's been rock-stable for me07:33
jdongthe only complaint I've had about it is reiserfsck07:33
wasabiOh, also, XFS needs shrinking.07:33
YagisanI had it eat data when I first tried it back in the 2.4.x kernels07:33
jdongif you ever have a hardware malfunction that leaves you with a corrupt FS07:33
wasabiI love that about reiser.07:33
jdongYOU ARE SCREWED WITH REISER :)07:33
wasabionline shrinking and expanding07:33

jdong:)07:42
Chipzzwasabi: just wondering, how do you create a sparse file in the first place? just write all zeroes?07:52
cjwatsonbhale,Riddell: no, it doesn't. It does call setupcon, which does ioctl(KDFONTOP), which seems to confuse X in various ways; there is a bug filed already07:53
cjwatsonhoping not to have to turn that off again, as it's nice for setup-console-under-usplash as well as general simplicity, but I may have to if we can't work out the issue07:55
wasabiChipzz: seek ahead in the file.07:55
cjwatsonproblem is that I haven't seen it on any of my own hardware so far07:55
wasabiChipzz: which basically increases it's size, but writes nothing. the FS can interpret that as using fake blank space07:55

dLinkCrawxorIs it true ubuntu dont fix all bugs thus getting more money through supporting the system?08:05
Chipzzheh08:06
mjg59Not deliberately, no08:06
Chipzzyou're implying so bad things08:06
Chipzzif ubuntu would do that, they would be shooting theirselves in the foot08:06
desrtdLinkCrawxor; ubuntu doesn't get money from support...08:06
desrtdLinkCrawxor; except indirectly08:06
dLinkCrawxorok08:07
desrtdLinkCrawxor; companies involved in (and sometimes working on -- that's the indirect) get the money08:07
ChipzzdLinkCrawxor: not every bug gets fixed; but I think that's more of a resources thing as to use for ransom08:07
wasabiis it true that mark eat's babies?08:08
cjwatsonI can confidently say that I've never once deliberately failed to fix a bug in order to increase support revenue, nor have I ever been asked to08:08
desrtwasabi; that i can confirm.08:08
cjwatsonthe same is true of every technical company I've worked at08:08
Chipzzbtw, I was wondering something08:09
cjwatsondesrt: that's not true though - Canonical has a growing support department08:09
Chipzzwhoopie brought up dapper-commercial earlier08:09
desrtcjwatson; canonical _is not_ ubuntu08:09
cjwatsondesrt: *shrug* damn big slice of it08:09
Chipzzwhat is supposed to be best practice for commercial apps if they ship their own libraries we also ship?08:09
Lathiatdesrt: while that is true08:09
Lathiatarguably, its a pretty fuzzy line08:09
cjwatsondesrt: in practice a large chunk of that support revenue is going to feed straight back into Ubuntu08:09
desrtcjwatson; as i said above.  indirectly because canonical works on ubuntu.08:10
Chipzzmake a .deb with their libs included, or alter to structure to have it ue our files?08:10
cjwatsondesrt: which you may call indirect, but I think is direct08:10
Chipzzs/ue/use/08:10
desrtcjwatson; i claim that it's indirect for the time being08:10
cjwatsondesrt: I respectfully disagree, and we can leave it at that08:10
desrtcjwatson; since if there was no support money, even now, mark would just be bankrolling the entire thing still08:11

=== bluefoxicy lobs this one towards the LKML.
Chipzzfor example vmware-player ships its own version of gtk+, should we ship that too, or have it depend on our libgtk2-0?08:12
dLinkCrawxorNot saying that's a bad thing08:12
dLinkCrawxorLinux is a hippie thing anymore08:12
dLinkCrawxorisnt*08:12
=== Lathiat laughs
wasabiChipzz: I don't believe there is a policy. There should be. ;)08:13
Chipzz(maybe I should ask on -motu?)08:13
wasabiChipzz: I'd like to see third parties ship ubuntu-certified packages.08:13
dLinkCrawxorMark is a Giant Pooh. Jesus told me08:13
wasabiChipzz: Like, one package for dapper, one for edgy, one for feisty, etc.08:14
wasabiOr maybe just for LTS releases.08:14
Chipzzwasabi: well, obviously depending on our own libs is better; otoh, when our libs upgrade to something incompatible with the commercial package, we'll have to include it again, so that makes stuff more difficult to upgrade these packages08:15
Lathiatvmware tries to use the distro libs anyway08:15
Lathiatif that fails it restarts with its own08:15
Lathiatinterestingly, in dapper, it would fail with dappers and fell back to its own08:15
wasabiChipzz: I feel the vendor should track our libs, and we should not change our libs in incompatible ways without very good reasons.08:15
Lathiatdue to some change in gtk that caused vmware to crash08:15
Lathiat(it was a vmware bug, but none the less)08:15
Chipzzwasabi: yes, but what if the vendor doesn't ship binaries for ubuntu, just general binaries08:15
Chipzzand we happen to package their tarball08:16
Chipzz(like vmware)08:16
wasabiGot me.08:16
wasabiProbably up to whomever does the packaging.08:16
wasabiI would sure like to see vmware distribute vmware though. I'm not a fan of this commercial repository stuff.08:16
Chipzzvmware is not in dapper-commercial btw08:16
Chipzzit's in universe I think08:16
wasabivmware-player is in multiverse or some such right?08:17
Lathiatvmware is in multiverse08:17
Chipzzyeah08:17
wasabiChipzz: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThirdPartyApt   I pine about some stuff there. =)08:17
wasabiI would love it if we supported ISVs in supporting us.08:17
wasabiSo they could push their own updates on their own schedules.08:17
wasabiBut take advantage of our great package management framework, etc.08:17
wasabiAlso update-manager and friends.08:18
cjwatsonUbiquity/DriverUpdates is progress towards that on one front that's perhaps slightly different from what you've been thinking of08:18
wasabiYeah, it is.08:18
wasabiI really speak more about the propriatary world.08:18
Chipzzvmware should ship a new version compiled against latest dbus btw08:18
cjwatsonremains to be seen what the vendor takeup would be08:18
Chipzz(and latest libsexy)08:18
wasabiI think it's a simple reality that all vendors will not want to put their software in our repository.08:18
ChipzzI poked chipx86 about that, but got no response08:19
wasabiNor go through us to update/manage that.08:19
wasabiChipzz: Also, as an example, vmware could depend on gtk>=2.5 <= 2.6 or some such.08:19
wasabiOr whatever gtk's no-ABI-change policy is08:19
Chipzzwasabi: gtk+ is not a problem, really08:19
Chipzzdbus is08:19
wasabiSo, the upgrade to feisty would pop up and say "I can't do this. You've installed a third party piece of software. They need to update first."08:19
wasabi"Go talk to them."08:20
wasabiSame diff.08:20
Chipzzno not really ;)08:20
wasabiHow so?08:20
Chipzzgtk+ is supposed not to be removing/changes functions throughout the 2.0 series08:20
Chipzzdbus did change api08:21
wasabiThat's fine. The vmware guys know what version is going to be shipped in feisty.08:21
wasabiThey can procuce updated packages. Smae way MS developers all "get ready for vista" and stuff.08:21
wasabiWith the end goal being of course that Ubuntu is the only Linux distro that ISVs care to target. ;008:21
Chipzzyeah but they seem reluctant to do so08:21
wasabiI don't think we engage them enough.08:22
Chipzzthe problem with the dbus api is not just the library08:22
wasabiI've worked with MS ISVs for ages. There are classes you can go to. Services you can buy, programs you can sign up for.08:22
wasabiAll with teh aim of having the entire ecosystem ready for Vista.08:22
Chipzzthe bigger issue with dbus is the bus protocol (which is also an api)08:22
wasabiIt's a matter of us, after freeze, talking to ISVs and helping them get their software in order.08:22
Chipzzso, has that happened for vmware yet? :)08:23
