| mjg59 | There are situations where it's impossible to Just Work. There are other situations where Just Working would comprimse the Just Working of some other situation | 12:39 |
| Keybuk | jdub claims it works fine on this machine in edgy, so I'm guessing it's just a feisty bug | 12:39 |
| mdke | Ubuntu is much better than I am at that | 12:39 |
| === wasabi formulating argumnet. | ||
| mdke | mjg59: well put! :) | 12:39 |
| mjg59 | wasabi: I disagree with the assertion that the Beagle data is system specific. In the common case, it isn't. | 12:40 |
| wasabi | It makes no distinction about indexed files in ~ or /foo | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | The default setup is that Beagle indexes the home directory. | 12:41 |
| wasabi | So, unfortunatly, it sort of is. | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | Not /whatever | 12:41 |
| wasabi | Hmm. That's true. | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | Therefore, with the default setup it makes sense that Beagle's information be stored there | 12:41 |
| wasabi | I'd still argue that it doesn't belong in ~ for transiate cache reasons. | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | It's not a transient cache | 12:41 |
| wasabi | Sure it is. It can be regenerated. | 12:41 |
| jdub | bah, keybuk left | 12:41 |
| wasabi | 100%. | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | And the application won't work until it has been regenerated, which may take a long time | 12:42 |
| wasabi | Hmm. The application will "work". It will say the cache needs to be built, please wait. | 12:42 |
| wasabi | Okay, let me just bring up my actual real world circumstance. | 12:42 |
| wasabi | My ~'s are AFS mounted. | 12:42 |
| mjg59 | An argument that I /would/ agree with is that if directories outside ~ are indexed, they should be tagged with the hostname | 12:42 |
| wasabi | Pssh. I completely disagree. No other platform does it that way, for good reason. | 12:43 |
| mjg59 | So beagle can determine whether the result is relevant on the current host | 12:43 |
| mjg59 | ? | 12:43 |
| mjg59 | No, beagle should do it | 12:43 |
| wasabi | a) I cannot store sockets in ~. As sockets are used to connect to LOCAL processes, they have no place in a directory which is designed to be sharable between multiple hosts. | 12:43 |
| wasabi | b) Access to the files isn't safe over AFS or NFS. No locking. | 12:43 |
| mjg59 | It's entirely possible to implement safe locking over AFS or NFS | 12:44 |
| mjg59 | And, uh, you can't store sockets in ~? What sort of toy filesystem is this? | 12:44 |
| wasabi | AFS. | 12:44 |
| wasabi | ... | 12:45 |
| wasabi | I'm also not sure if searching 400MB of index data over AFS is going to be very entertaining. | 12:46 |
| mjg59 | It's not like it does a linear search | 12:47 |
| wasabi | Sure. | 12:47 |
| wasabi | Anyways, Windows doesn't do it. Index data there is per-host... stored in a special per-host-per-user dir... for a very good reason anyways. | 12:48 |
| mjg59 | But anyway. The argument that it should be put in /var would break another Just Works situation, where /var is not configured to be large enough for a large number of users to have large files there | 12:48 |
| wasabi | ... | 12:48 |
| mjg59 | If home directories are shared, it's reasonable for user-specific information to be stored there. See gconf, for example. | 12:48 |
| wasabi | I don't think I can really accept that argument. | 12:48 |
| wasabi | You make /var big enough to hold what it needs to hold. heh. | 12:48 |
| wasabi | Or the installer does. | 12:48 |
| mjg59 | Well, no, that's not the case on thin clients | 12:49 |
| wasabi | gconf does it because host-specific settings aren't in gconf. | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | They so are | 12:49 |
| wasabi | Except for a few cases like powermanagement and friends. | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | Screen resolution, for instance | 12:49 |
| wasabi | *sigh* I think that's wrong too. | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | Tough. | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | The Unix Way(tm) is for user-specific information to be in ~ | 12:49 |
| wasabi | I guess my only defense left is to pull the Windows card. They didn't do it. For good reason. | 12:49 |
| wasabi | heh. | 12:50 |
| wasabi | =( | 12:50 |
| === mc44 [n=mc44@ip-81-170-96-18.cust.homechoice.net] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Exit,] | ||
| wasabi | mjg59: You mean like crontabs? | 12:50 |
| mjg59 | You keep saying "for good reason", but you haven't said what that reason is | 12:50 |
| wasabi | I've listed a number of them. | 12:50 |
| wasabi | I think I can give a pretty good argument that the number of office workstations with a small /var is lower than the number with a network mounted ~ | 12:50 |
| mjg59 | You've said that AFS is broken, that doing locking on AFS is hard and that performance may be reduced | 12:50 |
| wasabi | And again, we desire Just Works in the majoirty of cases. | 12:50 |
| bhale | i havent said anything, but i am in agreement with mjg59 | 12:51 |
| bhale | if that matters. | 12:51 |
| wasabi | It's disappointing. I just know it's not going to be acceptable in most of hte network environments where I am trying to replace windows. | 12:51 |
| wasabi | For the reasons I listed. | 12:51 |
| wasabi | It's huge massive data. It doesn't need to be network mounted, it shouldn't. | 12:51 |
| _ion | bhale: My left brain hemisphere agrees, but the right one disageres. | 12:52 |
| bhale | do you need to use beagle in this environment? | 12:52 |
| mjg59 | Now, in counterargument, I'm going to say that if I run beagle on one machine in a cluster, I don't want to have to wait for an extended period of time for Beagle to reindex my files just because I've moved to another machine. | 12:52 |
| wasabi | bhale: Seeking to replace windows, I do. | 12:52 |
| mjg59 | That isn't Just Working. It's stupid. | 12:52 |
| wasabi | Since we use their indexing service. | 12:52 |
| mjg59 | It results in massive duplication of data, lower performance and beagle having to look for new and altered files every time I log in | 12:53 |
| wasabi | mjg59: I agree. I think then perhaps with that argument /var/cache isn't the best place for it, or that perhaps a cluster should deal with sharing some known location of per-user/per-host data. | 12:53 |
| wasabi | But I don't any more agree that ~ is the best place for it. | 12:53 |
| wasabi | Nor do I think the number of people running clusters in that situation is greater than the number of office desktops. | 12:53 |
| bhale | dave_largo works on beagle for a thin client type network | 12:54 |
| bhale | a few central servers | 12:54 |
| bhale | lots of workstations/users | 12:54 |
| mjg59 | If AFS can't handle sockets in ~, that's an argument for keeping sockets in /tmp | 12:54 |
| bhale | he might have some interesting parallels | 12:54 |
| wasabi | I guess maybe this is a market we haven't really gotten traction in much. | 12:54 |
| wasabi | WHich is why it's not yet a problem. | 12:54 |
| wasabi | I deal with large office environments. Desktops, with central user management policies. AD, Windows. | 12:54 |
| mjg59 | If beagle isn't handling file locking over network mounted filesystems, then that's a bug in beagle | 12:55 |
| mjg59 | Those are both valid technical concerns, and if they cause problems then they should (and can) be fixed | 12:55 |
| wasabi | Well, I sort of have a real feeling that sockets on a network mounted file system are stupid sounding. | 12:55 |
| mjg59 | Why? | 12:55 |
| mjg59 | You encode the hostname into them, and they work fine | 12:55 |
| wasabi | Bah. SIllyness. | 12:56 |
| === wasabi renames hosts all the time. | ||
| mjg59 | While they're running? | 12:56 |
| mjg59 | I suggest not doing that | 12:56 |
| wasabi | No. Windows makes me reboot. =) | 12:56 |
| mjg59 | That's fine. You recreate the socket on boot | 12:56 |
| mjg59 | Or login, or whatever | 12:56 |
| wasabi | And that isn't odd that you're going all the way across the network to facilitate two local programs talking to each other? | 12:57 |
| mjg59 | Uh. Dude. | 12:57 |
| mjg59 | That's really not how sockets work. | 12:57 |
| wasabi | I know. The data doesn't move across the network. | 12:57 |
| wasabi | I know that stuff. | 12:57 |
| wasabi | But it's silly that you have to create a file over there, to talk over here. | 12:57 |
| mjg59 | Why? It's an atomic operation. | 12:58 |
| mjg59 | It'll be one round trip to the server | 12:58 |
| wasabi | This is a completely tangent minor technical complaint/argument. | 12:58 |
| wasabi | I don't particularily care if you do in fact make a file on a remote system to talk to the same system... but it's technically silly. | 12:59 |
| mjg59 | Yes, but it's the strongest technical argument you've brought up | 12:59 |
| wasabi | =( | 12:59 |
| mjg59 | I'm sorry, but "Windows doesn't work like that" isn't a compelling argument | 12:59 |
| wasabi | Yes, i know. | 01:00 |
| mjg59 | We're different from Windows in a large number of ways, and that's something that has to be factored into conversion costs | 01:00 |
| wasabi | I didn't mean to use it as a compelling argument. | 01:00 |
| wasabi | This argument isn't worth having right now. I will give it another try when more people are using Linux in circumstances like that. | 01:01 |
| mjg59 | There are millions of people using Linux in circumstances like that | 01:01 |
| mjg59 | I used to admin a network of ~100 of them | 01:01 |
| wasabi | I must live in a cave then. Heh. | 01:01 |
| mjg59 | NFS ~, local / | 01:02 |
| mjg59 | Everything went in ~, since it was the only stuff we backed up | 01:02 |
| wasabi | See, I would be pretty unhappy if I ran my backup program and it snarfed up 10GB of indexes. | 01:02 |
| mjg59 | Well, that's a trivial exclusion in the backup options | 01:03 |
| wasabi | Not for the people who set up the networks I work on. | 01:03 |
| mjg59 | You probably don't want to backup the Firefox cache either... | 01:03 |
| wasabi | Yup. You're right. | 01:03 |
| wasabi | Which is why IE does not store it's cache in the roaming portion of a user's profile. | 01:03 |
| wasabi | It goes nicely in Local Settings. | 01:03 |
| wasabi | .evolution is another example. | 01:03 |
| Nafallo | hmm | 01:04 |
| wasabi | Luckily outlook puts it's client side cache in Local Settings too. | 01:04 |
| mjg59 | Evolution stores your mail there. That's very much per user, not per system | 01:04 |
| wasabi | It's cached data in any networked environment I've been in. | 01:04 |
| wasabi | Nobody uses POP anymore. | 01:04 |
| Nafallo | my parents use POP ;-) | 01:05 |
| wasabi | Ahh. Good point. Home users do. | 01:05 |
| lifeless | wasabi: people use POP | 01:05 |
| lifeless | wasabi: even corporate folk choose to | 01:05 |
| wasabi | And I agree, POP goes in ~. | 01:05 |
| wasabi | IMAP doesn't... | 01:05 |
| Nafallo | but my parents are stupid so... ;-) | 01:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | we mandated that people don't use POP | 01:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | because they are generally useless and lose their mail | 01:05 |
| mjg59 | Unix and Unix-type operating systems have never guaranteed any significant user-specific storage outside ~, and large quantities of software are built around that assumption | 01:06 |
| wasabi | mjg59: Curiously, why is crontab an exception? | 01:06 |
| wasabi | crontab imo is a great one. | 01:06 |
| wasabi | It does it perfectly. :0 | 01:06 |
| wasabi | per-user/per-host. | 01:06 |
| mjg59 | Because cron jos are executed even when the user isn't logged in | 01:06 |
| mjg59 | Which means you can't guarantee access to their home directory | 01:06 |

| wasabi | I'm also not particularly interested in obeying any definition of "Unix and Unix-type" that mandates such things if those things don't in fact line up with what I need them to do to get the job done. | 01:08 |
| wasabi | Just as good as relying on "But windows does it!" | 01:08 |
| mjg59 | "Unix does it like this" is not a compelling argument for changing the behaviour of a Windows app. But it /is/ a compelling argument for deciding the behaviour of a Unix app. | 01:09 |
| mjg59 | If your argument is "Linux doesn't behave like Windows, and therefore we face increased migration costs", then you're right. | 01:10 |
| wasabi | No, that's not my argument. | 01:10 |
| wasabi | My argument is I have some jobs that need to be done, jobs which I believe Ubuntu does in fact claim to function properly with. | 01:10 |
| wasabi | That is, a non-thin client desktop, connected to a central server for a user's ~ data. | 01:11 |
| mjg59 | How does Beagle placing its indexes in ~ prevent any jobs? | 01:11 |
| wasabi | it makes the Just Workyness of a configuration like that less Just Worky. | 01:12 |
| mjg59 | How? | 01:12 |
| wasabi | a) indexes generate Really Really slow, access to them is also sluggish. They are huge amounts of data after all, they index people's email full text. | 01:12 |
| wasabi | b) They are huge. They take up server space which doesn't in fact need to be consumed. | 01:12 |
| lifeless | wasabi: meh, those are not the issue | 01:13 |
| wasabi | c) sockets don't work, this isn't a primary concern of mine, because I do agree AFS has a problem. | 01:13 |
| wasabi | What's the issue then? That I'm not deploying thin clients? | 01:13 |
| wasabi | Or that I'm network mounting ~? | 01:13 |
| wasabi | Or that I chose AFS? | 01:13 |
| mjg59 | (a) - no. The rate of index generation is not limited by write speed. | 01:14 |
| lifeless | mjg59: if beagle places indexes in ~, and it indexes the machine I'm logged in on, then with a NFS mounted homedir, the beagle index needs to represent two separate machines in one physical index | 01:14 |
| wasabi | Dude. My index files are 500MB. | 01:14 |
| wasabi | Just for me. | 01:14 |
| lifeless | mjg59: or be split per host in the users homedir. | 01:14 |
| mjg59 | lifeless: Please refer to the beginning of the conversation | 01:14 |
| wasabi | You're telling me it magiked 500MB across a 100MBs network? | 01:14 |
| lifeless | mjg59: I thought I had ;). | 01:14 |
| mjg59 | wasabi: On startup, beagle indexes very slowly. | 01:14 |
| mjg59 | At no point will it be i/o bound. | 01:15 |
| wasabi | Sure, but it also kills the network. | 01:15 |
| mjg59 | No, it doesn;t. | 01:15 |
| mjg59 | The data is trickled across. | 01:15 |
| wasabi | ... | 01:15 |
| wasabi | Well, I have experiences that say otherwise. Are you suggesting it's a beagle bug that it doesn't attempt to write slower than possible? | 01:15 |
| mjg59 | I'm saying that Beagle does not generate 500MB of indexes in the first 5 minutes, yes | 01:16 |
| wasabi | Takes longer than 5 minutes. =) | 01:16 |
| wasabi | Now, curiously, how does beagle actually implement a search that doesn't require reading a large portion of the 500MB over the network? | 01:17 |
| mjg59 | (c) is clearly nothing to do with the indexes | 01:17 |
| wasabi | Oh, hey, I take that back. | 01:18 |

| wasabi | actually, probably not. I don't think I ever got it to index those. | 01:19 |
| === wasabi digs. | ||
| mjg59 | wasabi: Given that it's able to fully answer my queries in much less time than it would take to read 500MB off the disk, it clearly can | 01:19 |
| wasabi | mjg59: Local ~? | 01:19 |
| mjg59 | I am, sadly, not an expert on the state of the art in the sort of data structures used in indexing | 01:20 |
| mjg59 | Yes, local ~ | 01:20 |
| wasabi | It's probably mmaped and pretty warm. | 01:20 |
| mjg59 | No | 01:20 |
| shackan | well, it surely is not a linear search so it's never going to have to slurp the whole half gig from disk | 01:20 |
| mjg59 | But what I'd assume at the very least is that it's a tree | 01:20 |
| wasabi | argh. it uses absolute symlinks too. | 01:21 |

| crimsun | it'll help the SRU team if you collapse only the relevant info into a new bug report | 02:05 |
| bddebian | Heya | 02:06 |
| crimsun | maxb: use the SRU versioning, please: 2.0.55-4ubuntu4.1~proposed1; the distro is "edgy-proposed"; please state the rationale in debian/changelog for filing an SRU debdiff in the first place; attach the actual debdiff (not just inline) | 02:08 |

| StevenK | mpt: Too slow. I have done but not commited or pushed a first stab at Debian packaging. | 06:02 |
| StevenK | mpt: (For About window). I've spent a grand total of 30 minutes on it, so if you've done it, I'm happy to bin it. | 06:02 |
| mpt | StevenK, thank you | 06:09 |
| StevenK | mpt: Also some changes to AboutWindow.py that allow it to work both ways, either running from . or installed from a package | 06:10 |
| StevenK | mpt: I was planning on adding a menu file stuffing an entry into the System menu, and then commiting and pushing | 06:11 |
| mpt | StevenK, does that replace the existing "About Ubuntu" item? | 06:11 |
| mpt | (it should) | 06:12 |
| StevenK | Which is harder. | 06:12 |

| StevenK | Yes it should, I wasn't planning on enforcing that. | 06:12 |
| StevenK | gnome-panel-data: /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-about.desktop | 06:15 |
| StevenK | Oh, icky. | 06:15 |
| StevenK | mpt: I'm also going to kill the icons that aren't *ubuntu. | 06:18 |
| StevenK | Since they have been unceremoniously killed from the glade file. | 06:19 |
| mpt | Hey, I was very ceremonious | 06:22 |

| siretart | Mithrandir: I'm okay with that, whereas I don't see quite the point. in previous versions of ubuntu, everything was in main | 01:05 |
| siretart | Mithrandir: why do you want -ffmpeg in universe? | 01:05 |
| siretart | Mithrandir: in the TB meeting, we agreed that -ffmpeg may enter main, but MUST NOT be in the ship seed, so that it doesn't go near a live cd | 01:06 |
| Mithrandir | siretart: if everything used to be in main, I'm fine with keeping it that way; it's mostly a "try to keep main as small as possible" reflex. | 01:06 |

| siretart | dapper was with madwifi-old | 01:15 |
| elmo | hmm, ok - so what's the magic to turn network manager on? | 01:15 |
| elmo | I thought it was disabling the auto lines in /etc/n/i | 01:15 |
| mjg59 | edgy only uses madwifi-ng under certain circumstances | 01:15 |
| mjg59 | Oh. Maybe not. | 01:15 |
| Ng | elmo: removing the device entirely from interfaces seems to work | 01:15 |
| mjg59 | Actually, I can't remember | 01:16 |
| siretart | elmo: do you have both a 'wifi0' and an 'ath0' device, or just an 'ath0'? | 01:16 |
| siretart | with wifi0 you are on madwifi-ng | 01:16 |
| elmo | siretart: I think both | 01:16 |
| Keybuk | elmo: comment both the auto and iface lines in /e/n/i | 01:17 |
| elmo | Keybuk: ah, ok | 01:17 |
| Keybuk | then give network manager a kick (/etc/dbus/event.d/25NetworkManager restart) | 01:17 |
| elmo | Keybuk: rock, thanks, that worked | 01:24 |
| elmo | btw, what's still blocking network manager by default? | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | lack of easy static configuration | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | tollef has a spec about it | 01:25 |
| siretart | elmo: and reliability. my gf is complaining that nm works only sometimes. then she uses ifup ath0=home to get her interface up | 01:32 |

| Mithrandir | pitti: just the man I was looking for. | 03:00 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: I have trouble getting hot-plugged encrypted devices to be mounted automatically. | 03:00 |
| Mithrandir | it sets up the dm-crypt target, but then stops. | 03:00 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: did you comment out the udev rule that disables the dev nodes? | 03:00 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: no? | 03:01 |
| pitti | /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules, #KERNEL=="dm-[0-9] *", NAME="" | 03:01 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: ^ disable this | 03:01 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: it's currently disabled due to the race condition, udev-device-mapper spec will fix this | 03:02 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: yay, that fixed it. | 03:03 |
| Mithrandir | thanks. | 03:03 |
| iwj | So the most obvious way of automatically grabbing the gstreamer plugin metadata and dumping it into an appropriate file is a new dh_ command. Is there anything I should watch out for when augmenting debhelper ? | 03:03 |
| iwj | cjwatson: ^ | 03:03 |
| cjwatson | urgh, does it have to be a debhelper extension? | 03:04 |
| iwj | No, it doesn't. Is that bad ? | 03:04 |
| iwj | But it will help because it really wants to write some files into the debian/<package> tree. | 03:05 |
| cjwatson | it's just that joeyh has been antsy about Ubuntu-specific debhelper extensions for a long time | 03:05 |
| cjwatson | can it go in a development package that all the relevant packages already build-depend on, rather than into debhelper core? | 03:05 |
| iwj | I could make it a random shell command in gst-foobar. | 03:05 |
| cjwatson | it could still use the debhelper libraries for uniformity; there are other programs that already do that I think | 03:05 |
| iwj | But you'd end up having to specify more boilerplate in the rules file. | 03:06 |
| iwj | Oh, really ? | 03:06 |
| cjwatson | (phone call, I'll get back to you) | 03:06 |
| Keybuk | why can't we put it into Debhelper, but name it uh_* ? | 03:06 |

| === hunger would be awfully happy if somebody would find the time to sort out this language-support mess we currently got. | ||
| siretart | pitti: as discussed with the technical board, it comes with the pristine upstream tarball, read: with included ffmpeg | 03:28 |
| pitti | hunger: ? | 03:28 |

| pitti | cjwatson: the recent Australian timezone change (bug 72125) bumped the urgency of timezone-upgrades spec a bit; of course this very bug can be fixed without problems, but I think we should find a more generic solution to put the latest TZ data into all stable releases | 03:59 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 72125 in tzdata "Daylight Saving changes in Western Australia" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72125 | 03:59 |
| pitti | cjwatson: the thing we need to do is to offer TZ reconfiguration if a TZ is removed/merged/split | 04:00 |
| pitti | cjwatson: the postinst currently uses tzconfig in the postinst, which is ugly and violates DP | 04:01 |
| cjwatson | pitti: removals are very rare, aren't they? | 04:01 |
| pitti | cjwatson: is there something debconf'ish (d-i like) we could use? | 04:01 |
| cjwatson | and merges normally leave the old one around | 04:01 |
| pitti | cjwatson: certainly removals are rare, but I saw TZ merges | 04:01 |
| pitti | and splits | 04:01 |
| cjwatson | but the old TZ usually remains valid | 04:01 |
| cjwatson | for splits, people can reconfigure from the desktop if they find that their timezone is wrong, can't they? | 04:02 |
| pitti | cjwatson: right | 04:02 |
| cjwatson | I'd be inclined not to overcomplicate the upgrade process - people notice if their computer's time is wrong | 04:02 |
| cjwatson | and the problems are in pretty rare cases | 04:02 |
| pitti | cjwatson: my feeling is that this is a rare enough special case to justify the usage of tzconfig if the current TZ doesn't exist any more | 04:02 |
| iwj | cjwatson: notice> But they generally try to fix it by adjusting it or reckon it's too hard. | 04:02 |
| pitti | cjwatson: we can detect if the set of available TZs for the user's continent has changed and ask him again, but I wouldn't do that with tzconfig | 04:03 |
| cjwatson | pitti: as long as the upgrade tool will do something reasonably sensible (i.e. pop up a terminal window rather than break), I'd be happy with that | 04:03 |
| cjwatson | pitti: d-i has tzsetup, but I don't think it's suitable for use outside d-i yet | 04:03 |
| pitti | cjwatson: u-mgr currently opens the terminal if the package installation doesn't proceed for 30 seconds | 04:03 |
| pitti | i. e. when it asks a question on the command line and expects input | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | I would like it to be, but it has fiddly dependencies | 04:04 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ok, then d-i tzsetup doesn't sound appropriate at least for stable release upgrades | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | not yet at least | 04:04 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ok, then my other idea is the following: | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | maybe at some point in the future | 04:04 |
| === tkamppeter [n=till@bl5-240-212.dsl.telepac.pt] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| iwj | pitti: Couldn't you use cleverness with process groups and SIGTTIN for this ? | 04:05 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I write some diff magic that checks for removed TZs of two versions, prints them out, and we handle those as special cases in the postinst | 04:05 |
| cjwatson | I'm still inclined to ignore merges. Removals we obviously have to deal with, if they actually happen (I think they would constitute a mistake in tzdata, though). Can we detect whether splits really affect the user's timezone on a finer granularity than continent? | 04:06 |
| cjwatson | perhaps this is rare enough that we can just special-case everything | 04:06 |
| cjwatson | that might be easier than overengineering autodetection | 04:06 |
| iwj | cjwatson: detect> No, because the user might have selected a nearby place in the installer knowing that the timezone was the same. | 04:06 |
| pitti | I didn't see those splits/merges in the recent updates, but I did see them in 2006l or 2006m | 04:06 |
| cjwatson | iwj: seems like the sort of thing that's a lot easier to special-case when it happens (we can probably guess "nearby" closely enough) | 04:07 |
| cjwatson | or we could pop up a notification suggesting that people use the city chooser in g-s-t, which is pretty similar to the one in ubiquity | 04:07 |
| pitti | cjwatson: for feisty we might implement some more niceness, like detecting for changed TZs on your continent and adding a notification bubble that points to the Gnome TZ setup tool | 04:07 |
| iwj | If we knew the set of places they were offered we might be able to second-guess them since they ought to have picked somewhere close to their real location but I think this depends too much on the user having considered that the timezone might split. That's not the kind of foresight that we should be expecting. | 04:07 |
| cjwatson | (in fact ubiquity's code is descended from evolution via g-s-t) | 04:08 |
| cjwatson | how about changing time-admin to say "if your time is wrong by some number of hours, consider making sure that your time zone is right <button>" | 04:08 |
| iwj | In general if any substantial bit of the territory covered by a timezone is to be split off, we should probably just ask. | 04:08 |
| iwj | Well, time-admin should find out whether ntp is working. If it is then the user shouldn't be adjusting the time at all. | 04:09 |
| pitti | cjwatson: sounds good | 04:09 |
| cjwatson | iwj: yes, I just don't want to have to ask folks who chose Los Angeles time when some bit of Indiana gets split | 04:09 |
| cjwatson | so I think continental granularity is too coarse | 04:09 |
| iwj | cjwatson: Do we record that they said LA or do we reduce it to PST ? | 04:09 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ok, we seem to agree that handling the rare special cases in the postinst is the right thing for stable-updates | 04:09 |
| cjwatson | iwj: it's recorded as America/Los_Angeles | 04:09 |
| iwj | And indeed this is rare. | 04:09 |
| iwj | cjwatson: Oh, good. | 04:10 |
| cjwatson | oh, hang on, that might not be true for the US | 04:10 |
| cjwatson | for most countries we use the city zones, anyway | 04:10 |

| cjwatson | no, having checked, ubiquity will always record the city name. In d-i you don't have the city selector and in the case of the US we only prompt for Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, East Indiana, Samoa | 04:13 |
| === sfllaw [i=sfllaw@debian/developer/coleSLAW] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | there are special cases for 21 countries in d-i to produce more useful timezone choices than you can get from just grepping zone.tab | 04:13 |
| cjwatson | (since a lot of the entries in zone.tab are only of historical interest) | 04:14 |
| cjwatson | pitti: yes, I think that's the easiest to audit for correctness | 04:14 |
| pitti | cjwatson: and as a fallback I would use the already existing tzconfig call, just to have something better than a dangling tz symlink | 04:16 |

| jdong | elmo: IIRC that worked in Warty fine too | 07:34 |

| BenC | Keybuk: Kernel is uploading to rookery now. If you can provide me with a working udev to go with it when you get it ready, I'd appreciate it | 07:34 |
| BenC | jdong: Technically you can bind/unbind right now, but the auto-probe disabling is new | 07:34 |
| jdong | like if I have a UMS device that doesn't get detected as usb-storage, I can force-bind it? | 07:34 |
| BenC | no, that wont work | 07:34 |
| jdong | aww :( | 07:35 |
| BenC | you can with PCI devices, but I don't think you can do it with USB | 07:35 |
| jdong | BenC: is it easy to force a usb-id to be a usb-storage device @ the source level? | 07:35 |

| Keybuk | BenC: does the auto-probe disable probing for all subsystems, or just pci? | 07:40 |
| hunger | I keep getting dangling symlinks in /usr/share/man. Is there some trick to stop that? Maybe to even make sure that none end up in packages? | 07:41 |
| BenC | Keybuk: everything | 07:41 |
| BenC | Keybuk: It stops it in {driver,device}_attach | 07:41 |
| Keybuk | BenC: so it should be possible to bind jdong's usb device to the usb-storage driver, no? | 07:41 |
| BenC | Keybuk: Ah, true, it should be | 07:42 |
| Keybuk | it'll behave as if its probe function found that device, and carry on from there | 07:42 |
| jdong | cool | 07:42 |
| Keybuk | of course, it may fall over some check in the driver for device ids, or even hit an assert_not_reached or something <g> | 07:42 |
| jdong | :D | 07:42 |
| BenC | I wonder if bind enforces bus<->driver sanity | 07:43 |
| jdong | that's the fun part, Keybuk :) | 07:43 |
| BenC | I suspect it has to | 07:43 |
| === jdong has a sneaky suspicion that his cheap Chinese DAP runs Linux of some sort | ||
| BenC | Yeah, it only searches for device on the bus the driver is registered to | 07:43 |
| Keybuk | BenC: if you poke into bind, does it check against the driver tables ? | 07:43 |
| Keybuk | right, you can't bind a pci device to a usb driver | 07:43 |
| BenC | good, I was worried about that :) | 07:43 |
| Keybuk | jdong: find the usb storage device in /sys/bus/usb/devices | 07:44 |
| somerville32 | cjwatson, ping | 07:44 |

| === wasabi [n=jhaltom@ubuntu/member/wasabi] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| BenC | That's helpful too for the UI, because if someone wants to force bind a driver, I just need to check the bus, and iterate the drivers registered to it | 07:44 |
| jdong | Keybuk: will this require a feisty kernel? am currently not on feisty... :( | 07:44 |
| Keybuk | jdong: no, this will work on edgy | 07:44 |

| jdong | yes, exmap, that's the name | 09:49 |
| lifeless | neuralis: able to run around the program (to get short lived programs), and return ... lets see | 09:49 |
| jdong | but it seems like gauging memory usage is always a really touchy subject :) | 09:49 |
| lifeless | oh it is | 09:50 |

| keescook | doko: ah, I see what you mean, the pie support may be breaking stuff. Yeah, that's what I meant early. I couldn't compare non-pie vs pie on feisty because the feisty gdb didn't work at all due to the gnuhash stuff. | 09:50 |
| lifeless | but the folk here have spent considerable time on it | 09:50 |
| lifeless | ;) | 09:50 |
| neuralis | lifeless: alternatively, there's a visually unappealing python app that parses smaps from /proc/ to monitor memory use that a SoC student wrote for olpc | 09:50 |

| somerville32 | I'd like to propose demoting xchat-gnome and promoting xchat back to main because I'd like to promote an irc client (and xchat > xchat-gnome now that the usability issues have been resolved) to the xubuntu-desktop seeds | 09:53 |
| neuralis | hunger: well, it'd be useful if someone packaged it, yes. i don't think he knows debian packaging. | 09:53 |
| cassidy | somerville32: what's your problem with xchat-gnome ? | 09:53 |
| jdong | somerville32: first make xchat use libnotify like xchat-gnome does, and I'll comply too :D | 09:54 |
| mdke | somerville32: can't you have both in main? | 09:54 |
| somerville32 | mdke: xchat was dropped because xchat-gnome was promoted but I don't see why not | 09:55 |
| somerville32 | Crimsun said it would likely require the coordination of the promotion of xchat and the demotion of xchat-gnome to have the MIR approved for xchat | 09:55 |

| Amaranth | woo xchat-gnome :) | 09:56 |
| mdke | most Gnome users, presumably | 09:56 |
| somerville32 | xchat-gnome pulls in gnome libs | 09:56 |

| srbaker | like, 6hrs +? | 09:57 |

| lifeless | or for the floor: when two packages [e.g. binutils and binutils-multiarch] have the same file, should both packages know about the diversion, or is it sufficient for only one to know. If only one needs to know, what about when there is no unpacking order guaranteed, do both need to know then ? | 10:24 |

| elmo | if b-m is unpacked first, it'll still (pre-emptively) register the diversions. if b is unpacked first, it'll just work | 10:29 |
