crimsunhmph.01:26
crimsunpeople keep screaming for deluge-torrent 0.501:27
jdongcrimsun: well it is a big step up from 0.401:27
jdongcrimsun: the version in our repos has a bug where multifile torrents will get trashed in some circumstances01:27
crimsunis there a backportable fix?01:27
crimsun--> In short, Deluge isn't really done yet, and it's still in rapid development, which is why I'd almost rather it not be in the repository at all, sadly. I just don't want users to look at whatever version winds up packaged in the repositories and think that it's "done."01:28
jdongcrimsun: the developer decided to just fix it in the next release01:28
jdongwhich is a full rewrite basically01:28
crimsuntell me why -uvf should even consider deluge-torrent 0.5 if the upstream dev states the above unequivocally.01:28
jdongheh... I think he was just frustrated and not wording things rationally01:29
crimsunsounds pretty rational to me.01:29
jdongI think his main point was that the current version has a major data loss bug01:29
jdongand he would like to use it as a reason to push a new version in01:29
jdongto be fair he was originally aiming it to be out before UVF happened01:29
jdongbut he fell short01:30
crimsunerr, then we do the sane thing, which is request that the binaries be removed from the archive.01:30
crimsunif we can't do that, then we ask for a full source+binary removal.01:30
jdongtrue01:31
jdongwell I'm not one way or the other on this01:31
crimsununpopular, yes, but we need to weigh the fact that even if motu-uvf approves it and MOTU uploads, we're fewer than FOURTEEN days from release. Archive admins are already swamped. Clearly fixing milestones for -7.04 are higher priority.01:32
jdongcrimsun: agreed, it is way too soon to release to be putting in a new release that's a _rewrite_01:32
jdongcrimsun: I don't think it's the end of the world if it's handled as a feisty-backports01:32
crimsunprecisely. Besides, feisty+1 will be open $soon01:32
jdongsounds like a good plan01:34
jdongand I'll try to make him happier about the decision too :)01:34
jdongIIRC he filed the UVF around the same time we were battling xgl, no?01:34

ajmitchcrimsun: had someone even made a package for it?01:39
ajmitchI looked at the bug & it seemed rather stalled01:39
jdongajmitch: yeah, he has packages for it01:40
crimsunI'm fine with it going in, but I have stated publicly in that bug report (90749) what my opinion is.01:41
ajmitchyes, I see that now01:41
ajmitchapparantly there are already a number of problems with 0.5, just not as bad as 0.401:44
jdongajmitch: yeah, that sounds like Deluge :)01:44

crimsunFujitsu: ok, what I would do is use ipcrm(8) to remove the offending key/segment (see ipcs(8) -m)03:01
=== Fujitsu was horrified to see a post by LaserJock in the NM forum thread, and the replies following it.
Fujitsucrimsun: I've got nooo idea what I'm doing here, but I'll have a look=.03:01
crimsunFujitsu: the shorter method is simply to reboot, but I'm sure you've been using that already03:01
LaserJockFujitsu: yes, yes. I'm in 2 threads on it03:02
shawarmawick2o: Well, there's also something about debconf not asking questions again if it's already got an answer (ie. you've already answered it).03:02
Fujitsu`Not especially funny to most of the responders in this thread. Given the standard Ubuntu approach to development packages (if it compiles, throw it in the main repository and let everyone suffer), you're definitely damned, especially since many developers intentionally exclude themselves from community input such as this forum. No one has apparently heard of the concept of at least limited testing before release.'03:02
FujitsuThe standard Ubuntu approach to development? What the?03:02
shawarmawick2o: I don't remember it all to well. It's been over a year since I've used it last.03:02
shawarmaFujitsu: Where's that from?03:03
Fujitsushawarma: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393039&page=1003:03
wick2oshawarma, i think that only holds true if you dont do a purge when you uninstall03:03
Fujitsucrimsun: What am I looking for in that list?03:04
crimsunFujitsu: key matching dmix shared memory segment03:04
shawarmawick2o: Well, if the postrm script removes stuff from debconf, then yes. debhelper might put stuff in for that. 03:05
crimsunFujitsu: if you haven't modified it, grep 03:05
crimsunerr03:05
Fujitsucrimsun: How do I identify which that is?03:05
wick2oumm my postrm doesnt do anything currently03:05
crimsunFujitsu: if you haven't modified it, grep -nH ipc /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf03:05
crimsunipc_key in particular03:06
wick2oshawarma, is there a way to manually remove or check for these answers?03:06
crimsunFujitsu: stracing an alsa app will also help pinpoint where it's failing on the shm segment03:06
FujitsuOnly 4 of the items in the list returned by ipcs have a non-zero key, and none of them are that mentioned in alsa.conf :S03:07
=== rmjb [n=ubuntu@cuscon28043.tstt.net.tt] has left #ubuntu-motu []
FujitsuOK, so it seems mpd had the semaphore that everything was hanging on. I removed it and all is good.03:09
shawarmawick2o: It's all stored in /var/cache/debconfig/config.dat, but unless you're quite sure what you're doing, I wouldn't mass too much with it by hand.03:10
wick2oshawarma, apt-get -y --purge item did the trick as far as clearning debconf03:10

crimsunbasically, if it's sound and I've heard of it, it's because it's broken. :-)04:28
nixternalcrimsun: it works fine, but there was something either a website with flash like youtube, that would just mute sound by dropping the pcm04:29
nixternalI think it was YouTube and flash doing it maybe04:29
nixternalbecause it hasn't happened in a couple of days now that I think about it04:29

Hobbseeah, fair enough05:22
LaserJockthat it's still got too many bugs, etc.05:22
Hobbseemeh.  most of the wifi bugs are pebkac, so...05:22
LaserJockand when the person was told, "well then help out"05:22
Hobbseeheh05:22
crimsunLaserJock: well, that much is true. OTOH, that's the nature of software.05:22
LaserJockthey pointed out that they had put stuff on REVU and it never got reviewed05:23
bddebianI have to admit it has seemed like a strange cycle this time for some reason.  Of course my work/home life hasn't helped in that :-(05:23
Hobbseewe've gotten a fair few new people, merges were slow, and all the beryl crap whihc took a couple of weeks out of devleopment time05:23
Hobbseebut core dev's had the same problem05:24
LaserJockwell, there's always issues05:24
Hobbseetrue05:24
crimsuncommunity expectations of Ubuntu will continue to be exaggerated05:24
Hobbseeoh of course05:24
=== Hobbsee was merely comparing this cycle to say...edgy
LaserJockalthough that doesn't me we can't learn from criticism and try to do better05:25
crimsunLaserJock: that's a foregone conclusion05:25
LaserJockREVU seem not very optimal for consistent reviewing05:25
bddebianYeah, it seemed like edgy was smoother for some reason05:25
LaserJockbddebian: we had crimsun to keep everything together ;-)05:25
bddebianLaserJock: Well it helps when/if we had more reviewers too :-)05:25
HobbseeLaserJock: atm i'm playing with better use of the MOTU page...05:25
=== Hobbsee will send to the ML soonish, once she hsa more concrete ideas
LaserJockHobbsee: the wiki page?05:26
Hobbseeyes05:26
crimsunthe fact of the matter is that we simply do not scale, and we will not scale, and people will proceed as if we indeed scale.05:26
Hobbseecrimsun: very true.05:26
bddebiancrimsun: true dat05:26
Hobbseecrimsun: and we're nto so great on training up new people, without the MOTU school05:26
ajmitchso we have to work out how to scale better, without collapsing 05:26
LaserJockso we need to find a model that does scale05:26
ajmitchHobbsee: you should run a school session then05:26
Hobbseeand people either dont have the resources or the will to get better05:26
LaserJockI haven't quite figured it out yet05:27
LaserJockI thought more team usage would help05:27
nixternaldude, the -14 kernel just ate my grub menu.lst05:27

nixternalit looks like it turned everything into ascii code05:28
LaserJocktheCore: I was sad to see the thread about emacs-snapshot being removed05:28
ajmitchthat's special05:28
crimsunok, so we have specs. One way of drawing more people into the fray is to respond more quickly to these specs and to action them.05:29
theCoreLaserJock: yeah, I was too05:29
LaserJocktheCore: although I saw he's still going to maintain it in a 3rd party repo05:29
crimsunOTOH, the people who are actively writing specs are already technically inclined, so are they really "our" target?05:29

nixternallooks like it started right there with the corruption05:30
crimsuncan we pull the more technically inclined forum posters into our fray?05:30
=== RAOF would be one of those.
=== bddebian is frightened :-)
=== Hobbsee thinsk the forums people tend to jump to irc anyway
Hobbseebut there would be some that dont, yes.05:31

nixternalpull me into the frey, give me a mentor and let me flap my wings05:32
nixternalor gums, whatever comes first ;p05:32
crimsunI may well be misled, but I think that the vast majority of forum posters aren't involved in Ubuntu universe maintenance.05:32
mohammadHello, I have uploaded package zekr to revu but after 1 hour it does not show up at http://revu.tauware.de/ yet05:32
Hobbseecrimsun: that'd be accurate05:32

mohammadajmitch I used my previous email but with a new key05:36
ajmitchLaserJock: you mean sticking to a freeze?05:36
ajmitchmohammad: your new key is on launchpad, right?05:36
LaserJockajmitch: saying, "we aren't doing any REVU for Feisty+1", essentially05:36
ajmitchLaserJock: ah, then I'd have to upload new packages anyway :)05:37
mohammadyes I have added it to lunchpad around 3 hours ago05:37
LaserJockajmitch: yeah, it'd be hard to control as there are new packages needed for specs, etc.05:37

theCoreI got a long weekend, I might be able to help out 05:38
ajmitchcheck for outstanding sync requests before you touch a package05:38
ajmitchplenty of them were just UVF exceptions+sync requests05:39
theCoreI just need to figure out what to do exactly05:39
ajmitchfix bugs :)05:39
ajmitchthe list is just a version comparison, using the set of packages in debian that have closed RC bugs05:40
bddebianHell, just triage bugs.  I see we still have close to 5000 unconfirmed bugs alone :'-(05:40
ajmitchso generally we either want the fix from debian, or the equivalent05:40
nixternaltheCore: well that kernel upgrade killed my machine05:40
ajmitchbddebian: doesn't it give you that warm & fuzzy feeling?05:41
theCorenixternal: ouch...05:41

mohammadok sorry 05:41
theCorenixternal: can I see your grub/menu.lst 05:41
ajmitchthe keyring sync is still going05:41
crimsunnixternal: either rescue from an alternate cd, or chroot from a desktop cd05:41
nixternalI would love to show it off, but it is dead right now, I am going to chroot in and take a look05:42
theCorenixternal: have fun...05:42
nixternalI have never had luck with the rescue from an alternate cd05:42
nixternalbut then again I haven't tried that in a while05:42
theCorenixternal: tip: mount your Ubuntu partition on /mnt, bind /dev and /sys to /mnt/{dev,sys}, and then chroot /mnt05:43
nixternalI am trying the rescue first05:44
nixternalsee if that fixes it05:44
LaserJocknixternal: you could also just edit the grub menu item ;-)05:45
ajmitchLaserJock: too easy05:45

nixternalmy menu.lst looks fine05:46
nixternalroot (hd0,0)05:46
crimsunso we need to do some serious outreach05:46
crimsunjono has mentioned blogging. How seriously do people read planet.uc?05:47
ajmitchcrimsun: we've made ubuntu too easy for people to use?05:47
LaserJockcrimsun: sure, but do we have time?05:47

LaserJockwhen I post on planet I generally get ~ 5000 hits05:47
=== ajmitch has to get his fix of things like the golden pony awards
LaserJockheh05:47
LaserJockif you have something really interesting to say you can probably get much more05:48
LaserJockmy blog posts aren't that great05:48
LaserJockbut yeah, blogging more05:48
=== ajmitch never has anything interesting
LaserJockwe *could* try to have a subforum or something on ubuntuforums05:48
LaserJockthere is already a packaging subforum hidden deep down in there05:49
theCoreso, Ubuntu is losing momentum?05:49
crimsuntheCore: absolutely, we're doomed.05:49
ajmitchtheCore: everyone's jumping ship for debian, you know05:49
theCoreahh! what we gonna do! 05:49
crimsunwe should give up and just eat girl scout cookies now05:49
ajmitchpanic05:49
bddebianw00t05:50
sharmscrimsun: already doing that05:50
bddebianBut what if I don't like Girl Scout cookies?05:50
LaserJocktheCore: not so  much losing momentum as growing without scaling the dev community05:50
=== ajmitch recalls the end of UDU - we all went & saw hitchiker's guide to the galaxy
theCoreeat Ubuntu cookies?05:50
ajmitch"Don't Panic"05:50
sharmsthats the problem with so many distros, and a limited free-help talent pool05:51
ajmitchsharms: grow the pool05:51
theCorehmm... not a bad idea...05:51
sharmsajmitch: I cant even get momentum on my bash spec, how in the world can i grow a talent pool05:51
LaserJockwe have to take  temporary hit to do it thoough05:51
LaserJocklol, he did it05:51
LaserJockhe got in his mention ;-)05:52
theCoresharms: bash-spec?05:52
crimsunLaserJock: ok, let's say there's a MOTU forum in UF. What would be its focus(ii)?05:52
sharmstheCore: glad you asked! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Spec/EnhancedBash05:52
theCoresharms: that Pg-[Up,Down]  thingy?05:52
=== ajmitch groans
sharmstheCore: yup!05:52
LaserJockcrimsun: well, hopefully growing MOTU and getting people excited. However, I expect it to turn into a free-for-all grudge match05:52
sharmswhat I want to know is, if I provide a debdiff, will anyone pay attention more?05:52
crimsunthere is something immensely comical about sharms attempting to push his spec, I must admit.05:53
LaserJocksharms: it would be all good and well if it wasn't PgUp and PgDown, I use those already ;-)05:53
=== theCore restores his old bashrc
=== Fujitsu walks in on this discussion.
sharmsLaserJock: out of curiosity what are the bound to?05:53
sharmscrimsun: I have tried to throw some humor in rather than be blatantly annoying05:54
LaserJocksharms: it honestly seems so trivial I don't really expect to get much attention05:54
LaserJocksharms: for me it's always been going up and down in the terminal scrollback05:54
FujitsuAnd it's got nothing at all to do with us.05:54
sharmsLaserJock: it still does go up and down in terminal scroll back, as long as the line is blank05:55
sharmsLaserJock: if line is blank, behave normal.  If line has text, try and match05:55
theCoresharms: anyway, I wonder why you're still using bash. If you're looking power-shell usage, there05:55
theCorethere's zsh you know05:55
sharmstheCore: its just amazingly intuitive and I want to share it05:56
LaserJocksharms: ok, whatever, sounds like a wishlist bug05:56
sharmsright, I am just wondering how I can actually get it in05:56
LaserJockI'm not against it by anymeans05:56
sharmsI have a feeling my debdiffs will get ignored05:56
theCoresharms: Up and Down do the same thing05:56
LaserJockwell, there's not much we can do about that05:56
LaserJocktheCore: no they don't05:57
theCoreLaserJock: sure?05:57
LaserJockyeah05:57
LaserJockUp and Down just go through the histry05:57
sharmsright which is why I am trying to figure out how someone goes about this, and asking for help05:57
LaserJockhis PgUp searches the histry05:57
theCoresearch?05:57
LaserJocksharms: file a wishlist bug against bash, attach a debdiff05:58
theCoreI am missing something, I think...05:58
LaserJockI guess05:58
sharmstheCore: say you type "ss" in the command line.  Hit page up and it will match the last command that started with ss, like "ssh sharms@sharms.org"05:58
LaserJockit's like doing Ctrl-r05:58
theCoresharms: yeah, Up/Down does this05:58
theCoresharms: by default05:59
sharmstheCore: not if you are running ubuntu05:59
crimsunyeah, ^r is somewhat similar05:59
theCoresharms: I am running Ubuntu ...05:59
sharms^r should be identical 05:59
sharmstheCore: then you are just misunderstanding 05:59
theCoresharms: test it05:59
sharmsI did! On 3 boxes since you said that05:59
theCoreoh, wait ...06:00
theCoreno, it works06:00
sharmsok yeah its ctrl-r but easier to use06:00
theCoresomehow06:00
sharmsthe up key does not do the action i propose06:00
sharmsI promise you06:01
theCoreit just doesn't use the history file06:01

sharmsthat might be an exaggeration.06:09
theCoresharms: eh, yeah06:09
theCoresharms: I had it my old .inputrc06:09
theCoresharms: but, I bound it to Up/Down instead of Pg-Up/Down06:10
nixternalajmitch: tab completion greets me with "not found"06:10
sharmstheCore: there is some comment about that on the Spec, I am not dead-set on page-up page-down, but there is a huge base of users already using it that way06:11
theCoresharms: and btw, these "magic" commands, in .inputrc, are bash-specific 06:12
sharmsall I know is they work with our default shell06:12

nixternalargh, chroot isn't workin' no /bin/sh06:32
Fujitsunixternal: You need to have /boot mounted inside /.06:32
theCoreFujitsu: the file in / are just symlinks to the ones in /boot06:33

nixternalyes it is, but I need to finish my schooling before I am 5006:40
ajmitchUDS is where drink credits for the last 6 months are traded ;)06:41
LaserJockso it wouldn't matter if you had / or /boot06:41
Lathiatdoes anyone know if you create a new thing in /etc/event.d for upstart how to tell it to start now rather than like reboot to make the normal events trigger06:41
nixternalsharms: I think your tricks has booged the tab complete, one tab gives me a list of junk06:41
theCoreanyway, you can't really edit it directly or you will get the same problem again, after every kernel update...06:42
theCorenixternal: can you still get to the grub menu, or it fails before that?06:42
nixternalheh, update-grub destroys it again06:43
nixternalso, with that being said, don't upgrade the kernel06:43
sharmsnixternal: pastebin the session06:43
nixternalya, I cannot run update-grub at all, it hoses my system06:46

FujitsuI think we should add all of these to the default installation!06:53
=== ajmitch runs with a coloured prompt without any problems

FujitsuLike beryl.06:53
sharmsajmitch: no its the --color=auto     appended to the end of grep 06:54
sharmsnot the prompt06:54
sharmsnixternal: do you have grub --color=auto   or always06:54
FujitsuI added it when it was --color=always, and then the world exploded.06:54
nixternalalways06:54
FujitsuChanged it to auto, and all is now good.06:54
sharmsswitch it to auto06:54
sharmsalways is a bug06:54
FujitsuIt went /crazy/.06:54
nixternalI have commented it out, but it still killed update-grub06:54
theCorenixternal: did made the changes in /etc/inputrc ?06:54
Fujitsunixternal: You'll need to open a new terminal or rerun your .bashrc.06:55
nixternalno ~/.bashrc06:55

LaserJockyeah, GFDL06:57
=== theCore starts making some backups
LaserJockI wonder if FSF is trying to kill Debian or the other way around06:57
theCorewhat a joke06:58
FujitsuWhat is it that makes the GFDL non-DFSG-free?06:58
theCorethat's certainly an insult to the upstream developers06:58
LaserJockthere is a section on invariant sections06:58
LaserJockGFDL is not GPL compatible06:58
ajmitchhttp://people.debian.org/~srivasta/Position_Statement.html06:59
theCorenot GPL compatible?06:59
theCoreyou mean DFSG, no?06:59
LaserJockno06:59
theCorewtf...06:59
theCorewhy FSF would make their documentation license incompatible with their software?07:00
sharmsbecause they want the BSD guys to look more rational07:00
ajmitchbecause the people who matter at the FSF have a different view of documentation07:00

sharmsoh I know what happened with Emacs documentation.  They made my bash changes and it fubar'd it up07:03
LaserJockanyway, I wonder if how this will get resolved07:04
nixternalthanks sharms :)07:04
LaserJockas it is it seems like emacs may end up going to non-free07:04

crimsunBurgundavia: so I presume that the symptom means that the region on that dvd hardware is indeed set?07:12
LaserJockajmitch: yeah07:14
nixternalOK, back up and rocking07:14
nixternaltheCore, Fujitsu, and ajmitch thanks for that one, and sharms fooey~07:15
nixternal;p07:15
nixternalgreat AOL face there07:15
LaserJockI found it, apparently emacs contains FDL docs *with* invariant sections :/07:15
nixternalKate rules them all07:15
sharmsnixternal: thanks for being a good alpha tester07:15
nixternalhaha07:15
nixternala Microsoft tester is more like it07:15
minghuaSo basically emacs-snapshot's maintainer doesn't want to drop GFDL licensed manual from his package and therefore orphaned it?  Strange decision.07:16
sharmsthey rejected my bash changes07:16
nixternalnow I know what Vista users have been feeling for 2 months07:16
FujitsuHey minghua.07:16
ajmitchLaserJock: that thread about moving emacs to non-free was from october07:16
Lathiatcrimsun: and it restarts itself?07:17
Lathiatcrimsun: ok thanks07:17
Lathiatcrimsun: killing init used to be frowned upon :P07:17
nixternalmoving emacs to non-free?07:17
bddebianGnight folks07:17
LaserJockminghua: basically he'd either have to move emacs to non-free or strip it of documentation07:17
Lathiatwho needs documentation anyway07:17
LaserJockhe decided to give up completely and orphan it and ask that it be removed from the archives07:18
LaserJockwell, apparently there are a few commands that don't work without the documentation, go figure07:18
nixternalLaserJock: what do you mean by moving emacs to non-free? I was busy breaking my system to follow, then got disconnected07:20
LaserJocknixternal: the emacs documentation is GFDL with some invariant sections, so DFSG non-free07:21
LaserJockso they were trying to figure out whether to keep it together and move the whole thing to non-free (and hence no in Debian)07:22
LaserJockor split out the documenation and put just that into non-free07:22
LaserJocklooks like they did the latter07:22
nixternalthat is nuts07:22
nixternalwhat is invariant about the sections?07:22
nixternalGNU/Debian will have Stallman laid out in the lawn naked if they do that07:23
LaserJockapparently they have something like the GPL or something07:23
FujitsuWhy are there invariant sections in the docs? I'd say that would very obviously be non-free.07:23
LaserJockand obviously they can't make that variant07:23
crimsunnixternal: that's an awful mental pic07:23
nixternalcrimsun: that it is07:23
nixternalI just made myself sick07:24
nixternaloh wow, there is a post in the Debian Weekly News from 2003 that states exactly that07:25

macogwhey, i'm trying to learn to package, and i looked at the "requests" list and found a program i want to try packaging.  the last tarball for it is a year old, but there was a bug-fix a month ago in CVS.  how do i get the proper files from the cvs to use for it?08:28
=== jussi01 [n=jussi@dyn3-82-128-188-131.psoas.suomi.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
RAOFmacogw: You've got two options.  You can take the last release, and add the patch from CVS as a part of the build process.08:33
RAOFAlternatively, you can just checkout the CVS and build a package from that.08:34
RAOFI *think* that the former method would be preferred, but you'd want to check with people who actually know first :)08:34
crimsunyes, generally in that case, the former is preferred. It really depends on what has changed in cvs.08:34
macogwthe tar is 0.7 and the cvs is up to 1.12 so i'd assume there would be quite a few patches using the former way08:35
crimsunoh, so "a bug-fix" is really a bug fix release?08:36
crimsunI interpreted "a bug-fix" as a single fix.08:36
crimsunor are you referring to the changeset id?08:36
crimsunmore context would help...08:37
macogwwell the most recent bug fix was a month ago, but i just looked at the setup.py which is commented as "version number increase" and it's 1.1208:37
macogwthe last tarball was 0.7 so i'm guessin there's a lot of in-betweens that happened08:38
macogwok actually i can see a bunch of changes08:39
macogwso if there's a lot of stuff that changed, would it be best to grab the newest of each source file and put them all in a directory as if they were being unzipped?08:40

shirishHobbsee: is there an announce list or something where one can come to know of packages coming onto universe, multiverse, I understand it might be a high-volume list03:42
Hobbseelists.ubuntu.com/feisty-changes is all the changes in the archive03:43
Hobbseedont think there's a sync list03:43
Hobbseethe ubuntu-motu ML usually says the new packages coming into the distro release, but doesnt talk about the stuff coming from debian03:43
shirishHobbsee: I have subscribed to feisty-changes incidentally03:44
StevenKIt isn't going to help you much at this point.03:45
StevenKFeisty is not going to have many changes this close to release.03:45
shirishStevenK: that I know now, its so boring when everything is sorta working03:46
Hobbseealso, the UWN tends to cover some of the more important new packages03:46
