cjwatsonKano: I suspect it would help if it were packaged in Debian; then it would simply be on our merge queue12:29
mdkewhen I click "Nominate for release" on an Ubuntu bug report, the next screen states "There is no release manager for Ubuntu."12:31
mdkeif I thought that were true, I'd be worried :) Can someone add the relevant people to the relevant place?12:31
Kanocjwatson, fuse+ntfs-3g work both together and need to be always the latest versions12:32
cjwatsonKano: I am not saying it is not necessary; I am saying what the most effective approach would be12:32
cjwatson(we don't have a dedicated maintainer for fuse in Ubuntu)12:33
Kanowell i need it, and if you dont package it,then i do12:34
mdkethat's the spirit12:34
cjwatsonthat's fine, you can contribute it in the usual way12:34
Kanomy way is to put it on my website ;)12:35
cjwatsonor you can duplicate work if you like, sure12:35
Kanobecause then i dont have to discuss if it is needed or not12:35
cjwatsonyou do not have to do so anyway12:35
mdkeKano: have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New for contributing new packages that you work on12:35
cjwatsonbut if you are on #ubuntu-devel, it is expected that you discuss Ubuntu development12:36
Kanocjwatson, of course i fixed already some packages which are in motu12:36
Kanosome dash problems12:36
cjwatsonmuch appreciated. I don't know why you're suddenly being hostile about this one, then12:37
Kanothe problem with fuse is that it is in main12:37
cjwatsonthat is why the ubuntu-main-sponsors team exists12:37
Kanoand nobody wanted to update it for feisty12:37
Kanoso even if i build something upon feisty i need this extra12:38
cjwatsonthere is no bug report explaining the problems12:38

azgtemcjwatson: not even the 386 net boot cd that you suggested works on my k6-2 computer :((01:17
cjwatsonazgtem: then I doubt the issue is what processor it was compiled for - you'll need to file a bug01:17
cjwatsonI suppose it could be that gfxboot breaks somehow on k6-2 - try booting in expert mode from the alternate install CD (to avoid 'quiet' on the kernel command line) and see if there are any kernel log messages at all?01:19
cjwatsonif not, it could be the bootloader breaking01:19
azgtemcjwatson: anyway, i tested it with knoppix 5.1 -- it does the same, so it is a debian problem. BUT, i tested it with knoppix 4.0 and it works! so the bug is some debian regression between the release dates of knoppix 4 and knoppix 5... if this has any relevance01:19
cjwatsontry also holding down shift at boot time to suppress the fancy boot menu01:20
cjwatsonnote that neither our fancy boot menu nor our kernel is common with Debian; at that point, the only thing definitely common with Debian is syslinux01:20
azgtemcjwatson: oh, didn't know about the shift trick01:20
azgtemcjwatson: anyway, knoppix does have some similar boot menu, so it seems i need to test debian itself, after all, before i conclude it's a debian problem01:22
azgtemcjwatson: ok then, is there any net boot cd equivalent of the one you gave me that i could use to install ubuntu?01:23
cjwatsonazgtem: given that I have no idea what the problem is, I cannot answer that question01:23
cjwatsonwe do not have a magic CD that fixes all unknown bugs, if that's what you mean ;-)01:24
azgtemcjwatson: no, i was only asking about a debian one01:24
cjwatsonoh, right01:24
cjwatsonazgtem: http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/01:24
azgtemi want to give debian a try and then to somehow install ubuntu01:24
azgtemcjwatson: cool, thanks a lot01:25
cjwatsonholding down shift should bypass most of the bootloader code that differs between Debian and Ubuntu01:25
cjwatsonso that is still worth a try too01:25
cjwatsonif that fixes it, please file a bug on gfxboot01:25
jdongcjwatson: wait, what does shift do?01:25
cjwatsonjdong: skips gfxboot01:25
jdongdisable gfxboot?01:25
jdongREALLY?01:25
jdongthat would've helped me a lot with kvm!01:25
cjwatsonjdong: see /usr/share/doc/syslinux/README.gfxboot01:26
cjwatsonactually that says that it lets you interactively disable certain bits, which is a lie, but that's not important01:26
jdongcool01:26
=== cypherbios [n=cypher@ubuntu/member/cypherbios] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdongthen I'll kvm a bit again01:26
jdongconfirmed, it works01:27
jdongyay, kvm boots now01:27
azgtemjdong: you don't even see the ubuntu logo??01:27
jdongalthough WOW are kvm graphics impressingly slow01:27
jdongazgtem: before I saw a nice kvm stackdump01:28
jdongbecase intel-vt doesn't do the realmode calls for gfxboot's screen01:28
azgtemjdong: oh, i thought you were testing that on a normal computer boot01:28
jdongnope; kvm01:28
azgtemright01:28
azgtemcjwatson: even when i keep shift pressed, i still see the nice orange ubuntu logo01:29
jdongyes01:29
azgtemor pink01:29
jdongthat's the old syslinux style logo01:29
cjwatsonwhat jdong said01:29
jdongnot the gfxboot one that puts the video in weird modes :D01:29
azgtemoh, right01:29
azgtemcjwatson, jdong: but shouldn't fb=off (or something like that) solve this problem anyway?01:30
azgtemsomething like that = i am not sure about the syntax01:30
cjwatsonazgtem: that's much later01:31
jdongColin is the expert past this point. I have no experience with d-i internals01:31
cjwatsonfb=false translates to debian-installer/framebuffer=false which tells the installer not to use a framebuffer; this does not help if the kernel isn't coming up01:31
cjwatsonand it's unrelated to gfxboot01:31
`23megcjwatson, would it be possible/feasible to create a barebones X environment to let Ubiquity run on systems with low memory?01:33

`23megso it looks doable; good to know01:37
azgtemcjwatson: it seems shift doesn't help on my box, so could you please tell me what level the error is, so that i may search for deeper answers myself? i also mention, if of any help at all, that most of the times i can see some ten quickly disappearing "progress bar" dots before the computer reboots, but at least once i saw more than thirty... if you find my description funny then you just know how desperate i am :)01:38

cjwatsonsorry I can't help more01:40
=== jdong grins
jdonga friend sent me his travel itinerary to Hawaii complete with 3 PDF's of boarding passes, while he sent his family a build log.....01:43
azgtemcjwatson: the fact that i know where to look further already means enough help to me, to be honest, i didn't even know the kernel could be responsible for this01:43
jdongazgtem: unexpected reboots typically are the kernel's fault at some point :)01:44
jdongit's also a convenient way of saying "not my fault" :D01:44
azgtemheh01:44
azgtemtrue01:44
azgtemcjwatson: and one last question: from your experience, the level you think this problem is -- is it the same level boot options like "noapic" etc. apply? i mean, is it still possible, in principle, that some magical boot option solve the problem?01:46
mjg59Well, it's either syslinux or the kernel01:46
mjg59If it's the kernel, it's happening in early setup code where any failure is quite likely to result in the machine rebooting01:46
mjg59Diagnosing is likely to be immensely painful01:47
mjg59Does the current Fedora test release have the same problem?01:47

stittelWhere is development of Ubuntu taking place? I mean the packages commited to the apt-repositories seem to be more or less finished and ready to use, but there must be some place where things are commited and discussed before the package is finished?09:30
stittelMost probably this happens in a revision control system like CVS or Subversion. If so, what is it's address?09:30

pittiRiddell: any reason why kdebase still depends on pmount?09:39
pittiRiddell: (and kubuntu-desktop)09:39
stittelDoesn't KDE use pmount/pumount for mounting removable media like USB sticks?09:40
stittelJust a thought, I am not a developer. :)09:41
pittistittel: I thought it would have switched to using hal long ago09:44
pittistittel: in fact, it used hal even earlier than Ubuntu's Gnome AFAIR09:44
pittiand we just made hal use pmount as a backend in dapper09:44
stittelWhat happens if you move the pmount binary and attach an USB stick?09:45
stittelThis should give us some clearity.09:45
pittistittel: well, that's why I asked Jonathan, I don't have a KDE here ATM09:47
stittelWait a sec.09:47
pittiI would just really like to move it to universe, since I don't have  much motivation to develop it any more09:47
stittelDo you want me to move pmount-hal, too?09:49
pittistittel: oh, just try sudo dpkg -P --force-depends pmount09:49
pittistittel: pmount-hal will just fail without pmount, so it doesn't matter much09:49
cjwatsonstittel: I've added a practical note on revision control to UbuntuDevelopment09:50
cjwatson(under "Revision control (Bazaar)")09:50
stittelcjwatson: Thanks.09:50
stittelpitti: USB sticks works fine with KDE without pmount installed. Everything like usual.09:51
pittistittel: right, that's what I guessed; just a forgotten dependency09:51
pittistittel: thanks for testing!09:51
stittelBTW: Why is "Storage Media" in the KDE System Menu pointing to "/media" and not to the "media:/" KIO slave?09:52

seb128jdong: I don't know how to source change a backport04:15
jdongseb128: I was told it's done like a normal dput upload by a core-dev and ends up in backports source NEW04:15
seb128so a normal upload with edgy-backports target?04:16
seb128Mithrandir: ^04:16
pittiseb128: that'll work, but we want to avoid it at all costs04:18
jdongin this case it's a trivial build-dep change that doesn't have any negative impacts, IMO04:18
pittijdong: can't we do it as alternative build dep in gutsy and backport then?04:18
jdongpitti: that would also work, but I was told before not to request development uploads to fix backports problems.....04:19
jdongI don't mind which way it's done :)04:19
jdonggutsy has 0.16~rc2 though....04:19
pittijdong: if we have to do an upload anyway, it seems easier to me to do it once for gutsy and then keep backportability instead of repeatedly doing it for backports04:21
jdongpitti: ok, that's a good plan for future packages, but in this case gutsy has already progressed to a development release of bzr... :(04:22
pittijdong: ah, I see04:22
pittiin this case it's justified, I guess04:22
jdongpitti: so do alternate build-deps always work?04:23
seb128jdong: are you sure you want the gusty ktorrent backported to dapper? ;)04:23
seb128that seems to be quite some change04:23
pittijdong: as long as the first one doesn't exist (as opposed to doing the wrong thing), yes04:23
jdongseb128: yep, I have tested it, and it works fine. the Dapper backports users welcome the new feature additions04:24
seb128I don't like doing changes to dapper but it's your call ;)04:24
jdongseb128: hehe fortunately only I have to deal with supporting -backports :D04:25
seb128ktorrent backports done04:25
jdongpitti: would it be feasible that when developers upload a tightened build-dep to also leave in an alternate, for non-EOL Ubuntu releases?04:26
=== viviersf [n=cain@196.44.1.98] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jdongthanks seb128!04:26
pittijdong: certainly feasible, but most often we forget about it04:26
jdongpitti: yeah, that's understandable. It's hard for me to figure out when a b-d is serious, and when it's just to force a build against a newer library for a gutsy-specific reason...04:28
jdonga lot of the times the changelog is helpful04:28
jdongbut other times it's not :D04:28
pittijdong: it eases transitions04:28
pittijdong: you can upload all bits of a transition at once, and the buildds will DRTR with 'depwait'04:28
jdongright04:28

wwoodspitti: I didn't, actually. I was just checking that out04:40

shawarmawwoods: Not individually, no.05:45
wwoodsreally? huh05:46
shawarmawwoods: our source packages are signed, and so is the Release file which provides basic authentication of the source of the packages.05:46
=== andmuell [n=andmuell@pc.andreas-mueller.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
=== cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #ubuntu-devel
shawarmawwoods: So you trust the repository rather than each package.05:46
cjwatsonthere's an unbroken chain of signatures of hashes that you can use to verify the authenticity of each .deb05:47
cjwatson(to put what shawarma said another way)05:47
cbx33hey guys in feisty, anyone know who deals with libnotify?05:47
cbx33or anyone know about the set_icon_from_pixbuf?05:47
cbx33"This will only work when libnotify is compiled against D-BUS 0.60 or higher."05:47
cbx33i thought we were hight dbus than that now?05:48
cbx33hight = higher05:48
cbx33however it still refuses to set the icon from the pixbuf05:48
wwoodsshawarma: okay, hm. so the Release file is part of the repo, and it's got package hashes?05:49
wwoods(please forgive my amazingly poor grasp of apt repos. heh)05:50
mvocbx33: look at the update-notifier source code, it works there05:50
shawarmawwoods: It's got hashes of the Packages files.05:50
shawarmawwoods: which in turn has hashes of the individual packages.05:51
cbx33mvo hmmm05:51
cbx33that's what I thought05:51
cbx33that's written in python isn't it?05:51
wwoodsshawarma: ah, okay. I think I get it.05:51
mvocbx33: oh, you talk about the python-bindings, no u-n is written in C (for memory effiecency reasons)05:51
wwoodsso there's nothing intrinsic about an installed package that tells you whether or not that package came from an 'official' repo.05:52
=== stgraber [n=stgraber@ubuntu/member/stgraber] has joined #ubuntu-devel
shawarmawwoods: In short: If you get packages from the repository (and trust gnupg and the ubuntu folks) you can trust the packages.05:52
cbx33ahhh05:52
shawarmawwoods: If you get them individually from elsewhere, you shouldn't trust them.05:52
cbx33so it could be the python binding don't work yet?05:52
cbx33that's a kick in the pants05:52
shawarmawwoods: Oh, sure there is.05:52
wwoods(where "official" means "from a trusted repo", I suppose)05:52
shawarmawwoods: Gimme a sec.05:52
mvocbx33: it could be that the python binding do have a bug, yes. aren't there tests in the python bindings package for this?05:53
cbx33not sure05:53
cbx33but it looks like a bug cos the c code does exactly what I would do05:53
cbx33I'll file a bug later05:53
cbx33;)05:53
wwoodsbasically I'm trying to figure out why apport just checks to see if the string 'Ubuntu' is in the origins05:53
cbx33thanks mvo05:53
wwoodsinstead of checking, like, keys or hashes or something05:53
pittiwwoods: oh, does it?05:54
pittiwwoods: it should check lsb_release05:55
wwoodspitti: yeah, it does05:55
pittiso it does, jsut checked05:55
wwoodsbut still, that's just a string match against a package tag - anyone could lie and say their package is from the 'Fedora' distribution05:55
=== jinty [n=jinty@195.55.82.66] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittiwwoods: in Ubuntu that Origin: tag is taken from python-apt which in turn takes it from the Release files on the archive05:56
pittiwwoods: so it's reasonably reliable05:56
pittiwwoods: also, it's not meant to be foolproof05:56
pittiwwoods: the use case was that we ship some stuff in dapper-commercial, for example opera05:56
pittiwwoods: and when that crashed, users got a 404 since opera is not a product in LP05:56
pittisince it's not an actual Ubuntu package05:56
wwoodspitti: gotcha. Yeah, we generally use the GPG signatures to determine whether a package is genuine or not05:57
wwoodssince our packages will be signed with one of our keys05:57
pittiwwoods: I'm fine with making that interface more abstract05:57
pittiwwoods: get_origins(self, package) -> is_distro_package(self, package)05:58
wwoodsyeah, that'd work nicely.. dunno if you use get_origins elsewhere though05:58

mjunxthis developer summit you speak of, is it a real life meeting? if so, where does it take place? I'm a college student with like no job and stuff10:40
geseryes, it's an offline meeting :), try Seville, Spain as location10:43

JohnFluxmjunx: but wouldn't it be better to have the documentation etc pushed upstream?10:56
mjunxJohnFlux, yes, but when you wait for over a month for that to happen, it gets kinda annoying...10:57
JohnFluxyeah, but hmm10:57
JohnFluxit's already a pain that launchpad has its own bug system10:58
JohnFluxas a kde developer I often don't see bug reports filed just in ubuntu's system and not upstream10:58
=== macd [n=d@adsl-222-54-189.msy.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
JohnFluxhaving a 2nd source tree with its own patches might get annoying10:59
seb128JohnFlux: you can subscribe on a package in launchpad10:59
JohnFluxseb128: but I can't close the bugs etc 11:00
mjunxJohnFlux, I've reported kde bugs to launchpad only because sometimes I really think that ubuntu might have been the ones who screwed it up, and if not, the maintainer should know to forward the bug11:00
JohnFluxmjunx: yeah11:01
=== macd [n=d@adsl-222-54-189.msy.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
JohnFluxI'm not saying it's a big problem, but the majority of kde developers don't have a launchpad account etc11:01
seb128JohnFlux: ask on #ubuntu-bugs to get bug triage rights11:01
mjunxJohnFlux, you can join the bugsquad team and then you can close bugs and stuff11:01
seb128JohnFlux: users are usually asked to report the bug at the distribution level because it might be due to a distro patch or something11:02
seb128JohnFlux: we lack manpower to send everything upstream then though11:03
=== JohnFlux nods
JohnFluxI do understand11:03
seb128JohnFlux: you are welcome to subscribe to the package on launchpad if you want to help there or read bugs that are not sent upstream11:03
JohnFluxand kde does the same thing anyway - we have imported versions from other projects11:03
JohnFluxour own modified copy of qt, and so on11:03
manchicken_We do a pretty good job sending KDE stuff back upstream.11:04
manchicken_But most of us Kubuntu folks are also KDE folks as well.11:05
=== JohnFlux nods
JohnFluxit would be nice to have launchpad opensourced etc and then have kde etc use it :-)11:05
manchicken_I'm not as much of a big KDE contributor though.  A handful of stuff here and there, but the big players seem to be involved.11:05
JohnFluxbut there's an argument for another day heh11:05
JohnFluxyeah11:05
manchicken_launchpad isn't proprietary.  It's custom software.  It's not released.11:05
manchicken_And KDE could use launchpad.11:06
manchicken_It's pretty easy to register things on launchpad.11:06
manchicken_It's just that KDE has its own thing going on.11:06

manchicken_KDE has been around for a while, and they've already got what they like pretty well defined.11:06
JohnFluxheh, nah11:06
JohnFluxwe've changed a lot of things11:07
JohnFluxit wouldn't be a biggie to change the bug tracking system as well11:07
manchicken_If KDE wanted to do launchpad, it's really quite simple to do so.11:07
JohnFluxnot politically11:07
JohnFlux:-)11:07
manchicken_What do you mean?11:08
mjunxI like how they have a link to their "websvn", but instead they use viewcvs or something11:08
mjunxI mean, I am/was a developer for websvn, and it would have been awesome to get feedback like that from a project with commits in the 6 digits11:08
JohnFluxpersonally, I still remember what happened with the linux kernel and it relying on a proprietary revision control system11:08
manchicken_Launchpad is a service provided by custom software running on privately owned servers.11:08
manchicken_JohnFlux: bzr isn't proprietary.11:08
JohnFluxit wasn't an exact analogy :-)11:09
JohnFluxbut in reference to using launchpad11:09
mjunxI like subversion more than bzr, but that's because I don't have any experience with bzr ;p11:09
manchicken_Launchpad isn't proprietary11:09
JohnFluxi don't understand how you can say it's not proprietary11:09
manchicken_It's not distributed software.  It's custom software running on managed servers.11:09
seb128it is for the moment11:10
manchicken_If it's not distributed, it's not licensed, it's not proprietary.11:10
seb128JohnFlux: you can get back any data you put it though so it's doesn't enclose you11:10
manchicken_Even RMS agreed with me on that when he visited Chicago not too longago.11:10
JohnFluxnot sure I agree with that definition heh11:10
JohnFluxanyway, I'm sure the kde guys would want to have it running on their own systems11:10
manchicken_Software that is only being used on servers you own and is not distributed is by every definition Free Software.11:11
manchicken_And bzr can be run on their own systems.11:11
manchicken_You can use bzr with any host that supports sftp.11:11
JohnFluxbut not launchpad11:11
JohnFluxcan't you buy launchpad btw?11:11
manchicken_Launchpad is a web site, not a piece of software.11:11
JohnFluxI thought I saw canonical selling it or something11:12
JohnFlux#define launchpad the software that runs launchpad11:12
JohnFlux:P11:12
manchicken_You're merely requesting content from their HTTP servers.11:12
JohnFluxanyway, it would be nice to have launchpad released and open sourced :-)11:14
JohnFluxif that happened, I can see kde seriously considering using it11:14
manchicken_And I'm having a hard time finding anything that would lead me to believe that Launchpad is distributed in any way.11:14
manchicken_It would be nice to have Launchpad released as free software, yes.  But it is not by any definition that I can see non-free software.11:14
manchicken_Not any more than google is non-free software11:15

manchicken_Nice.11:15
manchicken_apt-get install fsf.org11:15
JohnFluxmanchicken_: can you imagine ubuntu relying on 3rd party servers for its bug tracking?11:16
JohnFluxmanchicken_: where it has no control over them, and no way of running the service itself etc11:17
JohnFluxmanchicken_: it's just not a wise idea11:17
manchicken_JohnFlux: Nope.  I can't.  That's why they wrote their own.11:17
bhalethis isnt in the scope of the topic11:17
=== JohnFlux nods
bhale#ubuntu-offtopic11:17
JohnFluxbhale: it's about ubuntu development.  how much more on topic can you get?11:18
bhaleJohnFlux: been asked once.11:18
JohnFluxit was a silly request11:18
thomit's not anything to do with the technical development of the ubuntu distribution11:18
JohnFluxnot distribution, but development11:18
bhale"ubuntu development" in this context is very specific to development of packages and features of the open distro11:18
JohnFluxthis is ubuntu-devel not ubuntu-distribution11:19
