elkbuntuhmm... is it normal for mailing lists to have 170 people unsubscribe at precisely the same moment?11:33
poningrueek11:33
mdkeI've had something similar on ubuntu-it11:33
poningrunothing on marketing like that11:34
elkbuntumdke, -users had 170 an hour and a half ago11:34
mdkeoccasionally we have mass unsubscriptions caused by excessive bounces from one particular provider11:34
mdkesame provider?11:34
elkbuntumultiple providers11:34
mdkemaybe related to these problems we've been having with the list recently11:34
elkbuntuhmm.. maybe not11:34
elkbuntuapologies, all gmail11:34
mdkeexcessive bounces?11:35
mdkemaybe gmail had some downtime11:35
elkbuntuno indication of bounces, no11:36
mdkegiven the traffic on -users, it probably doesn't take much downtime to get a lot of undelivered mail11:36
mdkewhat's the reason given for the unsubscription?11:36
elkbuntuim not admin, only mod, i dont get the reason11:36
mdkeoh, right11:36
elkbuntu"#####@gmail.com has been removed from ubuntu-users."11:36

mdkebest grab an admin, I guess11:37
mdketalking of bounces, I've had 800 so far from that wiki licensing email I just sent out... did anyone actually get it?11:40
mdkelet's hope my provider isn't spam blocked or something11:40
elkbuntui got it11:40
mdkeokay11:40

mdkea lot of these bounces seem to be related to me being blocked... oh well. Hopefully the majority are getting it11:45

mdkeyes, I've blogged it now and I'll use a few mailing lists too11:46

gervmdadm doesn't work, and my laptop won't boot.03:06
poningrubuh03:06
gervcjwatson: Not sure how to answer your installer question.03:06
cjwatsongerv: live CD-type installer, or text mode?03:06
gervI did an apt-get dist-upgrade.03:06
cjwatsonoh, I see03:06
poningrueek03:07
cjwatsongerv: originally installed pre-dapper?03:07
gervI'm happy to take this elsewhere; I just came in here to try and find someone with a clue.03:07
cjwatsonsorry, dapper or earlier, I mean03:07
gervOriginally installed with dapper, yes.03:07
cjwatsonright, dapper installed mdadm regardless03:07
gerv(I think.)03:07
cjwatsonwe took it out in edgy03:07
gervI can boot the laptop with a liveCD.03:07
cjwatsonyou should just be able to boot a live CD, mount your normal filesystem, chroot in, apt-get --purge remove mdadm, and eboot03:08
gervUsing that, I updated to the latest version of lots of stuff, as SJR asked me to do in the bug I filed.03:08
cjwatsonreboot03:08
gervI removed mdadm, but it still won't boot.03:08
cjwatsonok, so we can skip mdadm as the cause then03:08
gervWell, it was an mdadm error which was the last thing the console printed.03:08

gervI suspected that might be the case.03:10
gervI did also say I had a laptop...03:10

gervWhat should it say?03:11
gervAha.03:11
gervCan I use break=mount or must I wait for timeout?03:11
cjwatsonif it's not there (as I suspect), then the kernel isn't detecting your disk03:11

gerv /sys/block/sda is present.03:12
cjwatsonthe other possibility with a reasonably good probability attached to it is that your bootloader is pointing to the wrong root filesystem; there's a particularly good chance of this if you're using lilo03:12
gerv(My disk, for some reason, shows up as SCSI when I'm pretty sure it's IDE.03:12
gervI'm using GRUB.03:12
cjwatsonmost disks are sd* now, due to libata03:13

gervso sda is there.03:13

gerv"Mounting /dev/sda1 on /tmp/hd failed: Invalid argument"03:13
gerv(Helpful, huh?)03:14
cjwatsonso that's the kernel saying EINVAL03:14

gervIs it "-t ext" for ext3?03:15

gervI can see my root filesystem.03:15
cjwatsoncheck /boot/grub/menu.lst in the root fs to see what root= says03:16
gervOne practical problem.03:16
gervHow do I view it?03:16

gervbusybox has no editor, and no "more".03:16

gervAm I supposed to ignore StevenK? That's another problem, right? :-)03:21
cjwatsonStevenK: sure, but you can [ -x /usr/sbin/apachectl ]  or whatever independently03:22
cjwatsonI don't think "package removed but not purged" counts as user error03:22
gervI can't purge evms - dpkg complains about not being able to find install-info and update-rc.d.03:22
cjwatsonthough I'm also not entirely convinced it's release-critical03:23
gervIs it compulsory, or can I do it once I've booted.03:23
gerv?03:23
cjwatsongerv: ok, don't worry about purging it just yet03:23
gervOK.03:23
=== gerv changes root= lines and reboots
gervcjwatson: You can say in the bug that I'm available to help with any further debugging I can do.03:23
cjwatsondone03:24
cjwatsonI reassigned the bug to grub03:24
gervIt doesn't boot, but that's because I've just realised I removed evms but didn't change hda1 to sda1.03:24
=== gerv goes through process again
cjwatsonnote /dev/sda1 not /dev/evms/sda103:24
cjwatsonthe evms is a bogus remnant of slightly-dodgy UUID detection03:25
gervIs a bogus remnant anything like a not-carefully-reading scott james remnant?03:25
StevenKcjwatson: Right, I have a slightly dodgy fix for the other open twiki bug, I will only restart apache* if apachectl is executable03:25
gerv:-)03:26
cjwatsonI suspect Scott was frantically trying to get through triaging about a million boot bugs before release03:26
gervSure.03:26
gervNo blame, just amusement :-)03:27
gervI'm sure he's a busy guy.03:27
=== gerv has seen a little of his frustration in some comments
StevenKgerv: Oh my God, can we keep you?03:27
StevenKA bug happens and you show amusement, not blame or frustration.03:27
=== gerv would be much more upset if his laptop was his only machine
=== gerv is very glad he tried it there first
StevenKcjwatson: I seem to recall evms being installed on my bosses Feisty machine ...03:28
StevenKI also recall having to take it out the back and neuter it.03:29
cjwatsonindeed, if he upgraded from dapper or before03:29
=== gerv waits for his root filesystem to do the "30-mount fsck"
StevenKNo, fresh install, which is what worries me03:29
gervIn fact, 32-mount.03:29
cjwatsonStevenK: no code that'd do that to my knowledge03:29
gervThanks everyone!03:29
cjwatsongerv: thanks for the help tracking it down03:29
gervGotta run now, but will clean everything up and get it working properly later.03:29
gervNo problem.03:29
gervThanks for being the guy with a clue :-)03:30
StevenKHrm. I suspect it's been reinstalled since.03:30
StevenKPity.03:30
cjwatsonI'm not certain we can do anything about it for feisty, but can certainly look at it for the LTS-to-LTS upgrade problem that we need to sit down and solve at some point03:30

StevenKConflicts: are fun. Although it smacks of 'killing a fly with a 30-pound sledgehammer'03:30
gervcjwatson: My problem or his?03:31
cjwatsongerv: yours03:31
=== gerv sincerely hopes it's possible to do something about machines becoming unbootable before Feisty is released.
cjwatsonI'd like to, but it's just so close to RC and with public holidays ... I did set the milestone though03:31
gervI upgraded using the applet thingy.03:31
cjwatsonand bumped priority03:32
gervIf this happens to a significant number of people, this could be Really Bad(TM).03:32
cjwatsonso it is on the list, if it can be crammed in03:32
gervOK.03:32
=== zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-227-252.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
gervI'll wait and see what happens :-)03:32
=== gerv really goes now
cjwatsonright answer might be to try to transition stuff of the form /dev/evms/hda1 to UUID but not /dev/evms/<otherstuff03:34
cjwatson>03:34
cjwatsonit's a slightly thorny problem - really a case of working around edgy's bugs03:34
=== Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-devel
cjwatsonbut edgy's bugs have become relevant now that /dev/hda => /dev/sda for you03:34
StevenKcjwatson: I wonder if sd* get sucked into that as well, such as /dev/evms/[sh] d*03:35
cjwatsonI'd be surprised if they didn't - but we can't guarantee exactly how the hd* -> sd* transition will work from userspace, hence UUIDs03:35
=== StevenK nods.

StevenKcjwatson: Do you want to see a debdiff for this twiki bug fix?03:53
cjwatsonStevenK: sure03:54
StevenKcjwatson: http://wedontsleep.org/~steven/twiki.debdiff03:55
cjwatsonStevenK: it's /usr/sbin/apachectl, not /usr/bin/apachectl03:56
StevenKDOH!03:56
=== StevenK finds a rock to hide under.
cjwatsondoesn't apache2 need to be restarted?03:56
cjwatsonin which case you should check apache2|apache2-*) if [ -x /usr/sbin/apache2ctl ] ; then continue; fi ;; or whatever03:56
StevenKOkay, I'll also check for apache2ctl03:57
cjwatsonI'd use grep -q -- -b03:57
cjwatsonthough dunno, maybe -e is more portable after all, I just don't trust it to terminate options03:58
cjwatsonlooks ok otherwise03:58
cjwatsonin my own packages I often prefer to stick a trivial portable-shell version of which(1) at the top of the script and use it as a function rather than hardcoding paths03:59
cjwatsonbut YMMV03:59
StevenKcjwatson: I've never had any problems with grep -e03:59
StevenKcjwatson: That part of the patch strikes me as really dirty. I blame mini-httpd03:59
cjwatson/usr/bin/which is more or less my code aside from some crackful and wrong option parsing that somebody stuck in there, so I use a reduced version of that04:00
cjwatsonyou can see it e.g. in base-passwd.postinst04:01
StevenKcjwatson: debdiff updated.04:02
cjwatsonyup, looks fine04:04
cjwatsonargh, which -a was added due to Dan Jacobson04:05
=== cjwatson sighs
cjwatsonas I wrote it, which intentionally had no option parsing whatsoever in order that you could safely use it on any string without having to care about escaping04:06
cjwatsonthough I suppose at least you can now put -- in front04:06

Seveasbut the backend used on ppc (the only platform where usplash uses bogl now) supports more 10:14
SeveasSaied, you should still include a 640x400x16 theme as fallback10:14
