| sparr | why doesnt ubuntu have 'moving target' repository names like debian's stable/testing/unstable? having to modify my sources every 6 months to keep up to date is hella annoying | 02:28 |
| HrdwrBoB | because you don't want to be running ubuntu unstable when it's first switched over | 02:32 |
| sparr | no, YOU don't want that :-p | 02:33 |
| HrdwrBoB | because your system will likely fail spectactularly | 02:33 |

| Hobbsee | [12:33] <Hobbsee> !timebasedreleases | 02:33 |

| sparr | yes, im familiar with that | 02:33 |
| Hobbsee | sparr: no you wont, the day after feisty releases, the new release isnt even started. | 02:34 |
| sparr | akin to debian's named releases (etch, potato, sarge, etc) | 02:34 |

| HrdwrBoB | or more frequently? | 02:37 |
| Hobbsee | sparr: did you run feisty in the first few weeks of it's development? | 02:38 |
| sparr | Hobbsee: yes, ish | 02:38 |
| Ng | sparr: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/launchpad/+spec/grumpy-groundhog | 02:38 |
| sparr | i didnt dist-upgrade | 02:38 |
| sparr | i get my feisty one dependency at a time | 02:38 |
| sparr | my system is probably at least 80% edgy still | 02:38 |
| Hobbsee | that's just insanity. | 02:39 |
| sparr | HrdwrBoB: the breakage isnt so bad, and well worth it | 02:39 |
| sparr | ive only encountered two broken packages so far | 02:39 |
| sparr | both already bug'd when i found them | 02:39 |
| Hobbsee | sparr: only getting part of feisty is not the same as a new feisty, where all the core stuff is changing too | 02:39 |
| sparr | very true | 02:40 |
| sparr | if and when i want the core stuff, ill upgrade it | 02:40 |
| sparr | i think flash 9 was the first thing i wanted that wasnt in edgy | 02:40 |
| Ng | if you're just cherry picking a few apps and libs though, one global s&r in one config file twice a year doesn't seem to quite fit "hella annoying" ;) | 02:41 |
| sparr | Ng: ok, mildly annoying :-p | 02:41 |
| sparr | Ng: more so, because i dont remember to do it until the first time i try to upgrade something and i realize a new version is out | 02:44 |
| sparr | just a random idea... why not have aliases in the repository... one points to the last LTS release, one to the last release, and one to the latest dev | 02:45 |
| sparr | not exactly the same as debian, but thats not neccessarily a bad thing | 02:45 |
| Hobbsee | sparr: because of the extra work. and the idea of freezes then get thrown out the window. | 02:46 |
| bddebian | Why don't you just run Deian then? :) | 02:46 |
| === Hobbsee --> out | ||
| bddebian | Err debian even | 02:46 |
| Hobbsee | bddebian: gentoo, really. | 02:46 |
| Ng | it kinda invites disaster for people who have them set to that without realising the implications and happily let update-manager to a dist-upgrade | 02:47 |
| bddebian | Ah, better | 02:47 |
| sparr | bddebian: because i like kubuntu's out of the box software integration better | 02:47 |
| bddebian | So either you live with it or you switch :-) | 02:47 |
| sparr | for a long time i was torn between debian and gentoo... | 02:47 |
| sparr | ubuntu improved on debian in a few key ways, enough to overcome the few failings like the instant case... so now it would be ubuntu vs gentoo | 02:48 |
| sparr | but gentoo's cutting edge is TOO broken for my tastes | 02:48 |
| sparr | and the default configuration is poor. getting a "complete" desktop experience set up like [k] ubuntu provides takes far more time than its worth | 02:49 |
| Hobbsee | sparr: so's the first few weeks of the development release, btw | 02:49 |
| Hobbsee | very cutting, very broken | 02:49 |
| sparr | i like being able to plug in a usb drive and it auto mounts and i get a prompt about what to do. i like having 'burn' as a context menu item for ISO files. i like http links in my irc client opening the right browser, usually. | 02:49 |
| sparr | Hobbsee: yeah, but i dont encounter those | 02:50 |

| sparr | i think Rohinton's issue is more one of perception | 04:02 |
| sparr | kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu sound very different | 04:02 |
| sparr | they would come together in peoples minds more as ubuntu-g, ubuntu-k, ubuntu-x | 04:02 |
| sparr | or any other scheme where they all start with the same letter (to be blunt) | 04:03 |
| Rohinton | yes - | 04:03 |
| Rohinton | I would like to download a base and then after the live-cd is running or installed be prompted for the gui system... | 04:04 |
| sparr | im curious how much space each GUI takes up... if someone tried to make a k+g+x ubuntu livecd, how much would they have to sacrifice to squeeze it all onto one disc? | 04:04 |
| sparr | i am doubtful that there is 700MB worth of kde-specific stuff on the kubuntu disc | 04:04 |
| HrdwrBoB | what you really want | 04:05 |
| Rohinton | Hmm, but the contents would have to be reviewed as they are all 690+.... | 04:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | is a button that says 'install KDE' | 04:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | 'install gnome' | 04:05 |
| Rohinton | right... | 04:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | 'install XFCE' | 04:05 |
| Burgundavia | sparr: you couldn't do it | 04:06 |
| sparr | install edu (less likely, the edubuntu disc probably has the most unique packages compared to the others) | 04:06 |
| Burgundavia | you can look at the seeds yourself | 04:06 |
| sparr | im a fan of the debian net-install... boot off a single floppy, or at worst a very very small iso image, and get everything off the network :) | 04:07 |
| sparr | obviously i see the advantages to the ubuntu method | 04:07 |
| sparr | having to pick a gui at iso download time is odd, but not killer | 04:08 |
| sparr | imho the biggest problem is just the names | 04:08 |
| zul | sparr: what you really want is gentoo, I believe that channel is #gentoo | 04:08 |
| sparr | the layman is used to mac os 7, os 8, os 9, os 10 | 04:08 |
| sparr | windows 95, windows 98, windows xp, windows vista | 04:08 |
| sparr | ubuntu foo, ubuntu bar, ubuntu baz would make a lot more sense to common people than foobuntu, barubuntu, bazubuntu | 04:08 |
| === sparr trademarkes foobuntu | ||
| Burgundavia | likely trademarked | 04:09 |
| Burgundavia | and there is nothing too different from Kubuntu and Ubuntu from os 9 and os 10 | 04:09 |
| sparr | right... so why are the names "so different"? | 04:10 |
| sparr | bluntly, having different first letters means they show up different places on a list. and they go in different little pockets in your mind. | 04:10 |
| sparr | think of it from a marketing perspective | 04:10 |
| sparr | i see a kubuntu flyer, and then later hear something about ubuntu | 04:11 |
| sparr | or about xubuntu | 04:11 |
| sparr | i am unlikely to make the connection. at worst, i might think one is a ripoff of the other | 04:11 |
| Burgundavia | they are different products | 04:11 |
| sparr | but if they were ubuntu-k and ubuntu-x, the relationship would be a lot more intuitive | 04:11 |
| sparr | but they are both ubuntu | 04:12 |
| Burgundavia | and twice as ugly | 04:12 |
| Burgundavia | no, they are Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Ubuntu | 04:12 |
| sparr | its about mindshare | 04:12 |
| Burgundavia | they are different products and are marketed as such | 04:12 |
| sparr | i disagree. | 04:12 |
| Burgundavia | and anyway, this is off topic and the names are not going to change | 04:12 |
| Burgundavia | no matter how much we bikeshed | 04:12 |
| sparr | kubuntu and ubuntu are far more similar than redhat desktop and redhat enterprise server | 04:12 |
| sparr | and yet the redhat name is at least twice as memorable with their scheme than with ours | 04:13 |
| _ion | And the scientific method used to conclude the memorability to be 2.0 times better was which? | 04:14 |
| sparr | the current names foster an environment that seems to say "come try kubuntu!" "no, come try ubuntu!" which is counterproductive. the message we need to be sending is "come try some variant of ubuntu! take your pick" | 04:14 |
| sparr | _ion: a dartboard. happy? do you actually disagree with the conclusion or just the method? | 04:14 |
| _ion | Ubuntu and Kubuntu are totally fine names for the products IMO. | 04:15 |
| sparr | show someone an ad for redhat desktop, then ask if they have ever heard of redhat server. then show someone an ubuntu ad, and ask if they have ever heard of kubuntu. the precise answer is "no" in both cases, but the connotation is VERY different | 04:16 |
| Rohinton | Hmm, the different names do they signify more that just a different UI? | 04:16 |
| sparr | Rohinton: nope | 04:16 |
| sparr | Rohinton: all they are is a different default set of packages. converting one to the other is just a matter of installing a single metapackage | 04:17 |
| sparr | _ion: im not saying the names are bad, per se... for established products they would be great. but ubuntu is in desperate need of mindshare, and this naming scheme doesnt help with that. | 04:18 |
| Chipzz | sparr: why are you second-guessing the whole community + canonical? | 04:18 |
| Chipzz | oh for crying out loud | 04:18 |

| sparr | then ask if they have heard of ubuntu | 04:21 |
| _ion | Yes, changing the name of Kubuntu to Ubuntu-K would instantly convert all the Windows users to Ubuntu and Ubuntu-K. | 04:21 |
| Chipzz | _ion: yeah :) | 04:21 |
| sparr | i gave out kubuntu cds for christmas. a few people converted. a few tried it and went back to windows. plenty used them as coasters, im sure. | 04:22 |
| Chipzz | sparr: linux in general is in need of mindshare vs windows | 04:22 |
| sparr | that middle group are the ones im talking about | 04:22 |
| sparr | a year from now when they hear something awesome about ubuntu, do you think they are going to connect it with kubuntu? | 04:22 |
| Chipzz | sparr: but ubuntu is very much not in need of mindshare vs other distro's | 04:22 |
| Chipzz | s/vs/compared to/ | 04:22 |

| Chipzz | no | 04:24 |
| Chipzz | you're the reason they added /kickban to our irc clients :P | 04:24 |
| sparr | just because you disagree doesnt make the problem go away | 04:24 |
| sparr | im doing my part to introduce the public to linux in general, ubuntu more precisely, kubuntu specifically. i WANT more people using them (in that order). since we have a marketing team, i know im not alone. | 04:25 |
| sparr | and this naming scheme is counter to that objective | 04:25 |

| jdong | but Windows I'd say refers to XP or 2K | 04:32 |
| === Burgundavia_ [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jdong | at least that'd be my first assumption | 04:33 |
| sparr | 2k is my windows of choice, when im forced to use windows :) | 04:33 |
| jdong | around here I've heard a lot of 5.1.2600's..... | 04:33 |
| jdong | it's land of the numbers :) | 04:33 |
| jdong | or 5.1K | 04:33 |
| jdong | for Kerberos patches | 04:33 |
| jdong | sparr: I like XP with the 2K theme | 04:33 |
| jdong | sparr: I've found XP to be faster than 2K when the theme is stripped down | 04:34 |
| jdong | but multitasking is pathetic period | 04:34 |
| _ion | I like... Wait, i don't like any Windows. ;-) | 04:34 |
| jdong | CPU or IO multitasking... | 04:34 |
| sparr | its a matter of perception... put in simple words... ubuntu-k says to the average joe "the k version of ubuntu". kubuntu says "a ripoff of ubuntu, probably by a company whose name starts with k" | 04:34 |
| Chipzz | sparr: even then the damage is already done | 04:34 |
| Chipzz | sparr: even if we were to change the names, which we are NOT, that would cause confusion/technological programs with existing users of the product | 04:35 |
| sparr | if someone liked ubuntu, and has a passing chance to try kubuntu, they might say no just because they expect a ripoff of ubuntu. | 04:35 |
| sparr | or vice versa (less likely) | 04:35 |
| Chipzz | yes we've heard that argument like 10 times before, and it is still wrong | 04:35 |
| _ion | If they already know (and even use!) Ubuntu, Ubuntu already *has* the Mindshare. | 04:36 |
| sparr | the divergent advertising doesnt help either, with different color schemes and such | 04:36 |
| HrdwrBoB | and even if it's not it's not going to change | 04:36 |
| Chipzz | sparr: now you're talking COMPLETE crap | 04:36 |
| Chipzz | sparr: the different versions of windows vista also come in boxes with different colors | 04:36 |
| sparr | look at ads or packaging for vista home, vista server, vista ultimate, vista premium, vista chipotle... they have things in common that tell people they are heavily related | 04:37 |
| Chipzz | so you're saying people won't buy vista because they're confused by the different colors of the boxes? | 04:37 |
| sparr | the 'background' of the box is a different color. the vista logo is always the same. | 04:37 |
| Chipzz | no it's not??? | 04:37 |
| Chipzz | it's very much the same thing | 04:37 |
| Chipzz | you're talking out of your arse | 04:37 |
| Chipzz | oh and btw | 04:38 |
| Chipzz | there's a name for it | 04:38 |
| sparr | there are so many things at work. in no particular order... the pearl, the name "windows", the name "vista", and the name "microsoft" | 04:38 |
| Chipzz | it's called "product differentiation" | 04:38 |
| sparr | kubuntu vs ubuntu doesnt have ANY of that in common | 04:38 |
| === stub [n=stub@ppp-58.8.1.218.revip2.asianet.co.th] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Chipzz | repeat after me: "product differentiation" | 04:38 |
| sparr | product differentiation isnt what we have | 04:38 |
| Chipzz | yes it is?? | 04:38 |
| sparr | product differentiation indicates that theres some common point that you diverged FROM | 04:39 |
| sparr | we have vista home, and vista ultimate. we have vista marketing material. now, lets add something different for each version. | 04:39 |
| sparr | thats ass backwards to what kubuntu and ubuntu have | 04:39 |
| Chipzz | the same for ubuntu??? | 04:39 |
| Chipzz | we have the same base for ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu | 04:40 |
| Chipzz | even the same apps | 04:40 |
| Chipzz | it's just a matter of default installation | 04:40 |
| sparr | kubuntu and ubuntu start in completely different places, and maybe by chance happen to come slightly together | 04:40 |
| Chipzz | these things use the bloody same repository for crying out loud! | 04:40 |
| bddebian | Start in different places??? | 04:41 |
| sparr | we are talking about advertising | 04:41 |
| sparr | "us" communicating to "them" | 04:41 |
| jdong | does anyone else use the term ubuntu to encompass the entire Ubuntu family of distros? | 04:41 |
| === jdong does that sometimes | ||
| sparr | jdong: distrowatch seems to | 04:42 |
| jdong | sparr: well every ubuntu release spams DW with like 5 identical annoucements before :D | 04:42 |
| sparr | jdong: which is another minor issue | 04:42 |
| sparr | bob made a flyer for kubuntu | 04:43 |
| sparr | joe made a flyer for ubuntu | 04:43 |
| sparr | then maybe, if we are lucky, they talked to each other and shared some ideas so they have something in common | 04:43 |
| Chipzz | I'm sure canonical coordinates marketing | 04:44 |
| sparr | getting into the look and feel of the ads is way outside the scope of what i was originally trying to say | 04:44 |
| jdong | yeah, like Ubuntu doesn't lose data when unmounting USB........ oh never mind | 04:44 |
| sparr | the names themselves are counterproductive to the task of telling people about *ubuntu | 04:44 |
| ivoks | imho, it would be better to have something like Ubuntu G, Ubuntu K and Ubuntu X :) | 04:45 |
| sparr | ivoks: blasphemy! no one else agrees! shut up! | 04:45 |
| ivoks | :) | 04:45 |
| sparr | </sarcasm heavy> | 04:45 |
| ivoks | but now it is as it is and changing that would be even worse then leaving it as is | 04:45 |
| sparr | i disagree | 04:46 |
| sparr | name changes dont have to kill a product | 04:46 |
| sparr | consider iceweasel, i mean firefox, i mean firebird, i mean phoenix... | 04:47 |
| ivoks | it always had 'Mozilla' in front of the name of product | 04:47 |
| ivoks | and most of the IT clueless refer to Firefox as Mozilla | 04:47 |
| ivoks | you download it from mozilla.org, hence, it's mozilla :) | 04:48 |
| Chipzz | phoenix wasn't known to the larger public, and ice* is not used by ubuntu | 04:48 |
| Chipzz | so that only leaves firebird vs firefox | 04:49 |
| mpt | sparr, you're making a lot of sense, but in the wrong place and the wrong tone. I suggest either getting a marketing job with Canonical or writing a spec, the latter of which is probably easier. | 04:49 |
| Chipzz | mpt: let's for a moment suppose he is right. it is still *not going to happen* | 04:50 |
| sparr | mpt: its already been written and dismissed on the marketing list :) | 04:50 |
| mpt | Chipzz, you don't know that. Lindows changed its name for similar reasons. | 04:50 |
| sparr | ivoks: mozilla as part of the brand name has definitely not been "always". it wasnt for phoenix. it was for a little while for firebird. | 04:51 |
| Chipzz | mpt: lindows changed its name because microsoft was threatening to sue | 04:51 |
| mpt | gah, I fell for it ... like I said, this is the wrong place. | 04:51 |
| === mpt shuts up | ||
| ivoks | (is it only me or we hear lindows/freespire to ofter around here :) | 04:51 |
| sparr | aha, thanks for the example | 04:51 |
| sparr | lindows/windows is a great example of the kind of thing average people think of when they see ubuntu's naming scheme | 04:51 |
| Chipzz | and it's a contrived example | 04:52 |
| Chipzz | because windows and lindows are *totally* *different* *products* | 04:52 |
| sparr | but lindows was trying to capitalize on the windows name | 04:52 |
| sparr | thats exactly what people will think about aubuntu when they see bubuntu | 04:52 |
| ivoks | guys, let's stop... as mpt said, this is wrong place | 04:53 |
| sparr | normal people dont know kubuntu and ubuntu are the same product. my ENTIRE point is that they are going to think they are *totally* *different* *products* | 04:53 |
| _ion | But, but... How could it capitalize on the Windows name? They have *different prefixes*! | 04:54 |
| Chipzz | I have a counterargument against that but I'm just going to shut up | 04:54 |
| sparr | _ion: precisely | 04:54 |
| sparr | i posit two cases. one, where users wont make the connection. two, where users will make the connection, and life experience will tell them its a NEGATIVE connection. | 04:57 |
| sparr | virtually no other respectable product uses ubuntu's naming scheme. normal people see it and think "scam" or "ripoff" or "knockoff" | 04:58 |
| sparr | ten years from now when ubuntu has taken over the world, we will be in a position to change that notion. but today, while ubuntu needs to attract new users, its counterproductive to be under such a stigma | 04:59 |
| ivoks | ok, stop, please | 04:59 |
| ivoks | we code, we don't do marketing, this is -devel place | 05:00 |
| ivoks | plase talk to someone else | 05:00 |

| Rohinton | Hmm, well I asked not for the name - It did sink in that these where the same - but I was just thinking about an easier way to use ubuntu with different UIs... The download times for 3-4 iso distributions is long, also if/when they only have dvd's it may get worse? | 05:11 |
| Rohinton | if as suggested a button was there saying install ( X, Y, Z ) for the UI that would be nice or I could rool my own... | 05:12 |
| Rohinton | BTW - for all thing ubuntu the name I know and understand is Ubuntu - the others don't figure for me until I get to the download site.... :-) | 05:13 |

| Rohinton | yes - you have a point too. | 05:22 |
| Rohinton | but the default of gnome seems to be good for 90% - I wonder what the download stats are for the different ISOs? - which ever seems the most popular should be the default... | 05:23 |

| pitti | cjwatson: ah, nice; we'll wait for the outcome of the discussion anyway | 01:34 |
| cjwatson | in the case of the installer it was easy because ubuntu-installer@lists.ubuntu.com is an appropriate contact address | 01:35 |
| pitti | cjwatson: did you use Original-Maintainer or XSBC-? | 01:36 |
| doko | pitti, seb128: could you have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PyDbgBuilds to see if that is understandable? | 01:36 |
| pitti | doko: right, I wanted to discuss this with you anyway | 01:37 |
| cjwatson | pitti: XSBC- | 01:37 |
| pitti | doko: instead of adding dozens of NEW -dbg packages to the archive, can these packages be constructed with pkg-create-dbgsym? | 01:37 |
| cjwatson | the installer already uses XB- stuff so I didn't really care | 01:37 |
| cjwatson | easy enough to change later if we want | 01:37 |
| pitti | doko: ... and do we want that? (i. e. the python -dbgsym stuff in the external archive) | 01:37 |
| doko | pitti, cjwatson: do we care about of correct maintainer fields, when a binary package is in another section (main/universe)? | 01:38 |
| cjwatson | no | 01:39 |
| doko | pitti: 1) no, it needs separate compilation; we maybe could hack around it for distutils based builds, but for other packages not using distutils you have no chance | 01:39 |
| cjwatson | MOTUs can't effectively maintain a binary in universe if the source is in main | 01:39 |

| pitti | doko: -dbgsym packages have a Conflicts: to all -dbg packages that a source generates | 01:42 |

| pitti | doko: but it doesn't sound like p-c-d is the right tool here, so nevermind | 01:42 |
| doko | pitti: ok, se we have to make sure, that a python debug package always includes the debug symbols for the normal extension as well. | 01:43 |

| Lathiat | you used to be able to hack that up with IDE | 02:40 |
| Lathiat | double pole switch with the jumpers | 02:40 |
| Lathiat | on cable select | 02:40 |
| doko | pitti: did we already agree on the maintainer address for main? | 02:40 |
| tfheen | I'm fairly sure I can get it done with SATA too, I just need to solder a bit. | 02:41 |
| jdong | Lathiat: lol yeah I've actrually seen one of those :) | 02:41 |
| pitti | doko: no, it's on the agenda today | 02:41 |
| Lathiat | tfheen: wouldnt be so easy | 02:41 |
| tfheen | Lathiat: why not? | 02:41 |
| Lathiat | you cant just flick the order | 02:41 |
| Lathiat | and if your moving the data lines on the sata cable | 02:41 |
| Lathiat | mind interference on a crap switch | 02:41 |
| pitti | tfheen, ogra: argh, silly me; burned the wrong CD *brown paperbag* burning again... | 02:42 |
| tfheen | I'd have one cable per drive and just one to the controller and a physical switch to switch between them. No need to munge about with ordering. | 02:43 |
| Lathiat | my point being if your switching the data lines you have to mind how much interference your whacking in the line with a dodgy switch :) | 02:43 |
| Lathiat | might be easier to simply power/unpower the drives | 02:43 |
| tfheen | I'd power it off before switching. | 02:43 |
| Lathiat | tfheen: im talking running interference | 02:43 |
| Lathiat | because the link is shit, etc | 02:43 |
| jdong | tfheen: SATA cables are so easy to hook up so why not just turn off and physically switch cables? | 02:43 |
| tfheen | true, but I guess I can get that decent-ish. | 02:44 |
| tfheen | jdong: because that requires me to crawl under my desk and I'm lazy. | 02:44 |
| Lathiat | be interested to see if it works | 02:44 |
| jdong | tfheen: haha :) works for me | 02:44 |

| spike | hi | 07:10 |
| spike | I'm currently looking at opening a bug against lvm2 package in edgy and would appreciate some directions on what to add to it | 07:11 |
| pitti | tfheen: oh, false alarm, we don't need a new feisty package; these changes are already in | 07:11 |
| pitti | tfheen: 2007b just fixes a single leap second (trivial diff); we can still update it, though | 07:12 |
| spike | the problem is with the symlinking/automagic. after installation any command will produce something like: No program "lvmdiskscan" found for your current version of LVM | 07:12 |
| spike | invoking /lib/lvm-200/$command will work just fine | 07:12 |
| spike | not sure where the problem is since /lib/lvm-default/ is correctly a symlink to /lib/lvm-200/ | 07:13 |
| cjwatson | kylem: you volunteered to help out with X last week - do you think you could follow up to the thread on ubuntu-devel@? | 07:13 |
| spike | altho it could be a problem with my Xen kernel.. | 07:14 |
| kylem | cjwatson, yup. | 07:14 |
| cjwatson | mvo_: you muttered something too, if you have time | 07:14 |
| kylem | cjwatson, i thought i had, haven't gotten that far into my mail yet. | 07:14 |
| cjwatson | we should try to get that moving ASAP after herd-4, at least the initial round of syncs to make testing easier | 07:14 |
| cjwatson | kylem: let's coordinate on #ubuntu-x tomorrow | 07:15 |
| mvo_ | cjwatson: yep | 07:16 |

| victory747 | I have a question about the daily feisty install cd. I just downloaded the alt i386 install cd. It seems there is no way to manually partition with LVM. | 07:21 |
| victory747 | I had to start it from the console with vgchange | 07:21 |
| victory747 | Is this a known issue, by design, or an oversight? | 07:21 |
| _ion | It works with the Herd 3 server install CD at least. | 07:22 |
| victory747 | there was a guided whole disk lvm option | 07:22 |
| victory747 | but in manual option all there is is "guided partitioning" and "help on partitioning" | 07:23 |
| cjwatson | victory747: you need to create individual partitions and select LVM physical volume under "Use as:" | 07:23 |
| === hagi^^ [n=hagi@adsl-62-167-114-82.adslplus.ch] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | victory747: then once you've got some of those you'll see an LVM configuration option appear on the main partitioner menu | 07:23 |
| victory747 | but i already have existing partitions | 07:23 |
| cjwatson | you may have to tweak their use-as | 07:23 |
| cjwatson | it might not have detected that properly | 07:24 |
| victory747 | the volume group is not even active when starting out | 07:24 |
| victory747 | so you mean select the pv choose LVM? | 07:24 |
| cjwatson | yeah, Use as: physical volume for LVM | 07:25 |
| victory747 | that won't hose my existing volume group? | 07:25 |
| cjwatson | then at the main partitioner menu, "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" | 07:25 |
| victory747 | ok, so this is by design | 07:26 |
| === firephoto [n=tom@pool-71-115-214-25.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| victory747 | but it doesnt' seem very intuitive | 07:26 |
| victory747 | it seems to me that if a pv already exists, it would be best to activate the vg so it shows up right away | 07:26 |
| cjwatson | shouldn't affect the existing volume group, no | 07:26 |
| victory747 | let me back up and try that, then | 07:27 |
| cjwatson | the problem with activating it is that it then becomes difficult to stop using LVM | 07:27 |
| cjwatson | you're right that it's not ideal, though | 07:27 |
| victory747 | dealing with lvm in the installer has always been a pain when the lvm already exists | 07:27 |
| cjwatson | it would really be better to show what it would be if activated, rather than actually activating it | 07:27 |
| cjwatson | that sort of design would also get rid of some intermediate commit requirements | 07:28 |
| cjwatson | but it's a good deal of work | 07:28 |
| victory747 | hmm | 07:28 |
| victory747 | the thing is, it shows what my filesystems are for all my partitions except the lvm when i start the partitioner | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | right | 07:29 |
| victory747 | seems to me it should show that as well. | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | right, hence "show what it would be if activated" | 07:29 |
| victory747 | yeah, i guess. i guess i don't see why it can't be activated from the start | 07:29 |
| victory747 | since they are essentially "partitions" like any other partition | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | my memory is that that made it much more difficult to delete PVs and replace them with something else | 07:30 |
| victory747 | you use and manage them like any other partition from a practical point of view | 07:30 |
| cjwatson | possibly because the plumbing needed to tear down VGs wasn't there | 07:30 |
| cjwatson | and that's just as difficult a usability problem | 07:30 |
| victory747 | so i guess you guys have thought about this | 07:30 |
| === Ubugtu [n=bugbot@ubuntu/bot/ubugtu] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | I agree with you that the current situation is not optimal; I'm not defending it so much as explaining it | 07:30 |
| victory747 | hmm, maybe the partitioner needs an overhaul | 07:30 |
| victory747 | but since i'm not really willing to do the work . . . | 07:31 |
| victory747 | :) | 07:31 |
| cjwatson | not really an overhaul, but LVM and RAID need to be improved and made to fit more into the general structure of the partitioner | 07:31 |
| cjwatson | rather, the partitioner modules for handling same | 07:31 |
| === spike [n=spike@unaffiliated/spike] has left #ubuntu-devel ["."] | ||
| cjwatson | unfortunately I have no time for this | 07:31 |
| victory747 | yeah, that would be nice. i have never liked the way it deals with lvm - very cumbersome | 07:31 |
| victory747 | i almost find it easier to do from the command line | 07:31 |
| victory747 | well, i think i understand how you are doing it now | 07:32 |
| cjwatson | a way to inspect a VG without activating it would help. Do you know if such a thing exists? | 07:32 |
| victory747 | hmm. | 07:32 |
| victory747 | well, you can use lvscan without activating a group, can't you? | 07:32 |
| victory747 | let me check . . . | 07:32 |
| victory747 | yes, they show up as inactive | 07:33 |
| cjwatson | mm, I think so, although its output is not exactly desirable | 07:33 |
| cjwatson | maybe something can be done with the underlying library code | 07:33 |
| cjwatson | so the way that partman works for ordinary partitions on hard disks is that, rather than making changes immediately (with the exception of resizing), they're queued up in a model of the disk constructed in /var/lib/partman/device/ | 07:34 |
| cjwatson | devices/ | 07:34 |
| cjwatson | and then committed in one shot at the end | 07:34 |
| victory747 | is it too late to make changes for feisty? maybe it doesn't really matter, but i've been doing this ubuntu/lvm thing for a while and I was quite confused | 07:34 |
| cjwatson | but for LVM and RAID, we don't have code to represent them this way yet, nor a way to inspect the LVM/RAID nonintrusively | 07:34 |
| victory747 | oh yeah, but it had to "write" changes in the past before activating the volume groups | 07:35 |
| cjwatson | (a) it's too late for major feature enhancements, (b) we don't have resources :-( | 07:35 |
| victory747 | i understand. plus holding all that virtually would be quite a bit of work | 07:35 |
| cjwatson | most of the LVM and RAID work is done in Debian | 07:35 |
| victory747 | so this change was a debian change? | 07:35 |
| cjwatson | Simon Huggins has been refactoring RAID, I think, but more with an eye to autopartitioning | 07:35 |
| victory747 | i always do manual partitioning since my stuff is already there and my setup usually rather strange | 07:36 |
| cjwatson | all the relevant work on LVM in this cycle was done in Debian, yes | 07:36 |
| victory747 | only do auto stuff when helping others install, but it's usually pretty simple | 07:36 |
| cjwatson | I hadn't been aware that this particular thing had changed - I thought you always had to activate VGs manually | 07:37 |
| victory747 | um, maybe you could add a note to the help part about how to activate lvm if it already exists | 07:37 |
| victory747 | oh, well, in the past i didn't know how to do it manually | 07:37 |
| victory747 | so i would go to "manage lvm" | 07:37 |
| victory747 | and then it would activate it | 07:37 |
| cjwatson | ah, the menu structure was changed a bit and it's possible that hiding that option when there are no PVs with the right method set was a recent change | 07:38 |
| victory747 | ok, that makes sense | 07:38 |
| cjwatson | could you file a bug on partman-lvm (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-lvm/+filebug)? I might be able to do something very constrained about that | 07:38 |
| cjwatson | would need to compare how it worked in edgy | 07:39 |
| cjwatson | pitti: ok, I'll have a look at that tomorrow | 07:39 |
| victory747 | i dist-upgraded to edgy so don't know that installer, but it's not that the 6.06 installer was that much more intuitive anyway | 07:39 |

| victory747 | i would almost prefer a note in the help files so someone could find it there | 07:40 |
| victory747 | that way it would not clutter the interface but someone looking for it could find it | 07:40 |
| gnomefreak | didnt someone mention the installer would fail with no kernel found? | 07:40 |
| victory747 | Oh, I also had to modprobe dm-mod | 07:40 |
| victory747 | I forgot about that, too. | 07:40 |
| === brottman [n=brianr@216.120.143.226] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| victory747 | I'll make a note of my experience in launchpad url you gave me | 07:41 |
| cjwatson | I hate to sound negative, but the help files are actually a real pain for us to change :) they're translated and the resulting change tends to be extremely difficult to merge | 07:41 |
| victory747 | oh! :( | 07:41 |
| cjwatson | so I'd much prefer something simpler if possible | 07:41 |
| victory747 | ok, well, | 07:41 |
| victory747 | i'm not sure what to say | 07:42 |
| cjwatson | gnomefreak: transient | 07:42 |
| gnomefreak | k | 07:42 |
| victory747 | except if I didn't know about modprobe dm-mod and vgchange -a y | 07:42 |
| gnomefreak | ty | 07:42 |
| cjwatson | having to modprobe dm-mod is certainly a bug, although I don't think that would have been necessary if you'd used the method I suggested from the start | 07:42 |
| victory747 | then I would not have been able to proceed | 07:42 |
| cjwatson | was probably only because you were doing it by hand | 07:42 |
| victory747 | i was in the partitioner already | 07:42 |
| victory747 | maybe all i had to do was tag the partition as lvm | 07:43 |
| victory747 | then it would have all worked | 07:43 |
| victory747 | i can re-boot the installer and try again if you would like | 07:43 |
| victory747 | i just don't want to take a chance of hosing my pv/vg | 07:43 |
| cjwatson | mark them as lvm and then select the configure-lvm menu item will modprobe dm-mod as part of its operation | 07:43 |
| victory747 | ok | 07:43 |
| cjwatson | do_initial_setup() { | 07:43 |
| cjwatson | # load required kernel modules | 07:43 |
| cjwatson | depmod -a >/dev/null 2>&1 | 07:43 |
| cjwatson | modprobe dm-mod >/dev/null 2>&1 | 07:43 |
| cjwatson | modprobe lvm-mod >/dev/null 2>&1 | 07:43 |
| cjwatson | etc. | 07:43 |
| victory747 | I see. | 07:44 |
| victory747 | ok | 07:44 |
| victory747 | ok, well, my problem was that it was not at all intuitive to me, which may or may not mean anything | 07:44 |
| cjwatson | what was the "use as" for the relevant partitions to start with? | 07:44 |
| victory747 | but i wonder about others who may be int eh same position I am | 07:44 |
| victory747 | I can't remember. I think it was blank - nothing | 07:44 |
| cjwatson | the current use should really be autodetected if at all possible | 07:45 |
| cjwatson | fixing that would help | 07:45 |
| victory747 | you going to be around for a while? next 15 minutes or so? | 07:45 |
| cjwatson | and it is supposed to be autodetected | 07:45 |
| cjwatson | nah, about to go to the pub for dinner | 07:45 |
| cjwatson | I'll be back later on this evening for the distro team meeting | 07:45 |
| victory747 | i will re-start the installer and tell you what it's saying | 07:45 |
| victory747 | ok | 07:45 |
| cjwatson | feel free to dump it into that bug | 07:46 |
| victory747 | should i try to file something, or just let it go for now? | 07:46 |
| victory747 | allright | 07:46 |
| cjwatson | definitely file something or I'll forget | 07:46 |
| victory747 | thanks for your time | 07:46 |

| mvo | pitti: yep. also we could do something similar as for the desktop files maybe? you know more about that then I :) | 11:05 |
| mvo | pitti: but yes, no need to touch u-n, just use what we have there | 11:06 |
| mvo | + maybe langpack integration if possible without too much work (should be doable) | 11:06 |

| mvo | pitti: yes, I'm a bit tired | 11:06 |
| mvo | pitti: but great that you came up with the idea! | 11:06 |
| pochu | BenC: I'm not sure if you are the right person to tell it, or if it's a kernel bug, but ipw2200 (wireless) is not working anymore in feisty (bug 83637) | 11:07 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 83637 in network-manager "Network-manager doesn't show any wireless network on ipw2200" [Undecided,Needs info] https://launchpad.net/bugs/83637 | 11:07 |
| Fujitsu_ | pochu: When did that happen? I was using it this morning. | 11:07 |
| BenC | pochu: Doesn't work, or doesn't work with NetworkManager? | 11:08 |
| BenC | those are two different things :) | 11:08 |
| pochu | Fujitsu_: doesn't work | 11:08 |
| pochu | with a clean install of herd 2, and yesterday daily-live | 11:08 |
| BenC | pochu: Can you configure it from the command line? | 11:08 |
| pochu | and some others daily | 11:08 |
| pochu | BenC: I'm not very skilled with networking... :( | 11:08 |
| pochu | BenC: interfaces? | 11:08 |
| BenC | pochu: "ifconfig -a" do you see it in that list? | 11:09 |
| BenC | if so, then the kernel's most likely not at fault | 11:09 |
| pochu | BenC: is it eth1? If so, I see it | 11:10 |
| BenC | pochu: iwconfig eth1 | 11:10 |
| BenC | if that looks sane (e.g doesn't say it isn't a wireless dev) then the kernels fine | 11:10 |
| BenC | which means it's a network-manager bug | 11:10 |
| pochu | BenC: when I boot, I sometimes see this message: intel_rng: blabla something can't remember | 11:11 |
| BenC | pochu: Sure, intel_rng, doesn't exist...no big deal | 11:11 |

| pochu | :S | 11:12 |
| BenC | heno: I suspect it will end up in kernel-team's lap | 11:12 |
| heno | ok | 11:12 |
| BenC | pochu: No, it means power-management is off | 11:12 |
| BenC | heno: At least the backend driver portions (UI is up to someone else) | 11:13 |
| pochu | BenC: radio off ESSID:"" | 11:13 |
| ogra | pochu, that means your kernelis fine .... you got a n-m bug | 11:14 |
| BenC | pochu: radio is always off until it is configured I think | 11:14 |
| BenC | pochu: if you have a radio kill switch, then that's easy to debug...flip the switch | 11:14 |
| pochu | BenC: I don't know what radio means in a wireless card :S | 11:14 |

| ogra | pochu, right but its not th ekernels fault | 11:15 |
| ogra | its a configuration issue | 11:15 |
| tepsipakki | geser: now the repo should be fine | 11:16 |
| tepsipakki | geser: added new source versions of xorg-server and mesa as well | 11:16 |

| BenC | pochu: Try again, and check iwconfig to see what's going on | 11:17 |
| pochu | but then if everything is fine, wifi-radar should work, right? | 11:17 |
| pochu | BenC: and another thing (there are no more hehe): when booting, I see a lot of messages similar to this: [some numbers] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region... | 11:19 |
