Rinchenogra, I had tried to sort through lsof with as many of the processes stopped as possible but even then the output was enormous12:13
cjwatsonbryce: I've approved xorg7.3; not got to the other two yet, but it's OK, I think they're in reasonable shape now and I'll do them tomorrow12:13
bryceok cool, thanks12:14
bryceok, I need to hit the post office before they close; be back in a bit12:16
Chipzztepsipakki: I actually used one of those settings for preseeding :P12:17
Chipzzbut nothing major12:17
tepsipakkiChipzz: heh12:17
Chipzz(using the modules setting to prevent certain modules from being loaded, when setting up an ltsp chroot)12:18
Chipzz23:43 < tepsipakki> some of the xserver-xorg debconfage has been removed by debian, but only the uninteresting ones (like modules, fontserver)12:19

=== mjg59 tries to work out how the gnewsense people decided http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/sound/oss/maestro3.h wasn't firmware
ajmitchisn't that your preferred form of modification?12:52
=== ompaul goes to look
mjg59Yeah, I enjoy hacking binary DSP code with no indication of what the instruction set is12:54
mjg59Actually, I chatted to the Maestro driver author last month - ESS had no idea of what the DSP instruction set was either, as far as I can tell12:54
ompaulmjg59, line 698 afik] 12:54
mjg59ompaul: Yeah. That's DSP code.12:55
mjg59The comment above makes it sort of clear :)12:55
ompaulhmm will we ever reinclude it12:55
ompaulI'll pass it back :)12:56
mjg59Also pretty sure starfire_firmware.h is, well, firmware12:56
mjg59Actually, a lot of stuff on the FalsePositive list is sourceless firmware12:57

brycetepsipakki, I may not have stated it correctly, but I think the intent we decided on was to provide both a libx11 with xcb, and a legacy version for binary apps01:09

ashoki need a ubuntu mentor on how to start developing in ubuntu01:53
ashokcan u people guide me how the process goes01:53
Riddelldepends on what you're developing01:53
crimsunwhere in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment are you starting?01:53
ashoki would like to develop java applications in ubuntu01:53
ashokyeah i've registered01:54
Riddellubuntu itself doesn't use java for applications01:54
Riddellif you just want to develop java stuff that happens to be on ubuntu, you want a java community to help01:54
ashokthan how can i contribute to ubuntu01:55
ashoki am not attached to java only01:55
ashokjust develop some applications maybe in python01:55
Riddellbugfixing, packaging, we have a limited number of applications we maintain ourselves almost all in python, doc writing etc etc01:56
ashokcan u give me basic idea of python01:56
Riddellbest way to start is to find a bug that annoys you and fix it01:56
Riddellbut most of our code comes from upstream projects01:57
ashokupstream projects??01:57
ashokcan u elaborate01:57
Riddellkde, gnome, linux, X etc01:57

=== infinity [n=adconrad@cerberus.0c3.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
bryceyeah right now is sort of a quiet time, but I'm sure the ubuntu team will see your comments.  Good to hear you're enjoying it.  :-)02:39
scoobydoo28139bryce: do you help with the development of ubuntu?02:39
scoobydoo28139ok that was a delay02:39
bryceyes, although I joined after feisty, so can't take any credit :-)02:39
scoobydoo28139well I can still appriciate a good OS that has novice people in mind02:40
scoobydoo28139and to the people taking a chance on an os these days is hard to do 02:40
bryceyou know, if you're ever interested in joining in on development (even in non-coding areas), folks would love to welcome you02:40
scoobydoo28139If i could i would, I am still trying to figure out terminal. I am however passing out cd's. around 300+ so far in this hick town.02:41
bryceawesome, marketing's a great contribution :-)02:42
scoobydoo28139Most are still wondering what a computer is here02:42
bryceI set up a ubuntu box for my mother a while back, and it's worked well - no popups, spyware, etc. means very little IT work for me :-)02:43
scoobydoo28139my bigest complain is finding someone with the patience to deal with a total newb like me02:45
=== zakame [n=zakame@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #ubuntu-devel
brycewe were all newb's once ;-)  As long as you're polite, do homework before asking questions, and stick to tasks, people seem happy to help get newbs up to speed02:46
scoobydoo28139I will continue to help spread the ubuntu OS all over,If money would just grow on trees , i could do my own ship it02:47
brycecool, increasing the userbase is always a big help.  :-)02:48
brycealso keep your eye out for other smart young folk who might be interested in doing development, and help steer them in the right (open source) direction02:48
scoobydoo28139Ya know what makes microsoft so apealing and hard to over come is...02:49
scoobydoo28139It is easy to install everything- its mostly a no brainer. That is hard for people to over come. And the ink jet suport like for my dell photo 944, is scarce02:50
scoobydoo28139so when i pass out this ubuntu os its hard for me to explain about some things. I even have a tv card i can't use and the game thing is weard to understand. But i have hope that i am promoting a os in progress:)02:52
scoobydoo28139any way i am going to get back to scoping out how to open installer.sh file :) good chatting with ya, and again thanks for ALL that you all do. From NC rutherfordton good day02:54
scoobydoo28139bryce: one more thing.. how did you learn to write code?02:55
brycehmm, as a kid 20-some years ago, I copied it out of books and magazines into my vic20 and poked at it a lot02:57

fabbionesabdfl: bzr status + hot cache + same machine as before takes about 3.5 secs11:00
KeybukKigh: it comes from Debian11:00
fabbionesabdfl: do you have a devel version of bzr with those optimizations?11:00
KeybukKigh: it's exploiting a kernel bug to seperate the IP of localhost from that of the machine name11:00
=== Kigh wonders, why debian has a 127.0.1.1 entry in /etc/hosts
KeybukKigh: afaik all kernels should reply on any 127/8 address for lo11:01
fabbionehmm no11:01
fabbione127/8 is a routable network11:01
KighKeybuk: i already thought that. but it lead to issues with X11. 11:01
Kighfabbione: its not.11:01
Keybukfabbione: no, it's not11:01
fabbioneihih RFC says that you are not allowed to route it on the internet11:01
Keybukthe fact Linux replies to any packages sent *down* the lo network device, rather than *to* its address is a "bug"11:01
Kighfabbione: well it is, but read the RFCs. one should never route 127/811:02
fabbioneit doesn't say you can't route it internally11:02
Keybukor at least "an odd feature"11:02
fabbioneKigh: internet routing is not the same as local11:02
fabbionebe careful there.. the difference is small11:02
KeybukKigh: I don't see why this would break11:02
Keybukwhich kernel did you upgrade to?11:02
Kighyoure right fabbione 11:02
Kighmom11:02
Keybuk2.6.22 still exhibits the "lo replies to any packet routed to it" feature11:02
Kigh"2.6.20-16-generic" per "apt-get upgrade"11:03
Keybukcan you nopaste the output of "ifconfig lo" somewhere11:04
Kighafter that update my gnome-desktop needed ~3mins do show up and i needed ~1 hour to locate and resolve that issue11:04
KighKeybuk: i can ping every 127/8 correctly on lo11:04
Keybukok11:05
Keybukthen I suspect the issue is unrelated11:05
Keybukyou should have in /etc/hosts:  127.0.0.1 localhost11:05
Keybukand 127.0.1.1 hostname11:05
Keybukand *nothing* should be using "hostname"11:05
Kighhttp://nopaste.biz/1661911:05
Keybuk(all local communication, including X, should be to "localhost" anyway)11:05
KighKeybuk: that was my /etc/hosts before i resolved the issue. now "localhost" and "hostname" do both point to 127.0.0.1 and voila: X11 reacts blazing fast.11:06

Keybukyeah, that's the same postinst bug that fabbione had12:44
Keybukthere's a temporary hack in postinst that seeds the file, which won't be in the final release12:44
ograah, ok12:45
ograas i said, it does no harm, just cosmetical stuff ... as long as udev behaves i'm fine12:45
ograKeybuk, another thing i stumbled across is that udevsettle doesnt seem to do anything if you use it in initramfs12:46
ograi was trying to fix the persistent lvecd mode and make it wait until the device is there, but it sems to be ignored .... checking other scripts it seemed to be the same12:47
Keybukwhat are you expecting udevsettle to do?12:48
Keybuktip:12:48
Keybuknever, ever, run udevsettle12:48
ograi didnt dig deeper since i worked around the initial problem by adding the same loop as the other / mounting modes have, so it jus retries until the / device is there12:48
Keybukudevsettle is not the binary you are looking for12:49
ograKeybuk, well, its run in several scripts in initramfs and as i understood its the commad to run to make sure udevtrigger is done12:49

ograudev: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-top/udev12:52
Keybukoh, hmm12:53
Keybukthat's probably my bad then12:53
Keybukit doesn't really help you12:53
ograwell, but thats not the one i had the prob with12:53
Keybukall udevsettle does is ensure that the udevd daemon is "up to date" with kernel uevents12:53
ograbut i saw the comment and thought i could use udevsettle12:53
Keybukudevtrigger causes missed uevents to be resent12:53
ograin my classmate initramfs script ...12:53
Keybukthus bringing udevd up to date12:53
Keybukafter that, udevd will receive them from the kernel directly, so there's no need for either binary to be run12:53
ograah, s if i would run udevtrigger a second time it would just do a noop12:54
Keybukthe reason that udevsettle doesn't work for the network driver case, is that it only ensures that udev has reacted to the existance of the pci device (since that's all that will exist in sysfs before modules are loaded)12:54
Keybukthe reaction to the pci device is to load a module12:54
ograerr, it works for the network driver case12:54
Keybukthere is an indeterminate amount of time between "udev has reacted and loaded a module" and the network interface actually being useful12:54
Keybuk(or even existing)12:55
Keybukit may happen to occur quicker than it takes the initramfs to get to the command that uses the network12:55
Keybukbut it's still a race condition12:55

Keybukexactly12:55
ograadding a loop around the / mounting function solved it12:55
ograbut thats indeed not the proper fix12:56
Keybukudev will react to the existance of the pci device representing the usb hub12:56
Keybukthat does not guarantee the usefulness of any usb device somewhere down the device tree12:56
ograthe usb hub is very slow12:56
ograah12:56
ograso the loop is the only option then ... 12:56
ograuless i fix the HW12:56
ogra*unless12:57
Keybukthe time between "udev being up to date with the kernel (it's seen that there is a usb hub)" and devices somewhere in the usb tree having been probed, negotiated for power requirements/speed/etc., kernel knowledge created, udev being aware of the existance of those devices, modules being loaded, modules initialising the device, device responding, udev creating /dev nodes as appropriate12:57
Keybukis longer than the (simpler) network card case12:57
Keybukthey're both race conditions12:57
ograindeed12:57
Keybukthe USB one is a race with an american who likes to eat at McDonalds every day12:57
ograit also has to load the filesystem and usb storage stuff12:58
ograhaha12:58
Keybukright12:58
Keybukthere are two common solutions12:58
Keybuk 1) loop until what you expect to exist/work does exist and work12:58
ograright, thats what we seem to do anyway in all other scripts, just not in casper12:58
Keybuk    - we use this in the initramfs local mountroot(), we loop until the $ROOT device exists and vol_id works on it12:58
Keybuk 2) react to the events telling you that it does work12:59
Keybuk    - we're gradually moving to this where we can (e.g. devmapper, LVM, etc.)12:59

iwjKeybuk: Re your comments on BootLoginWithFullFilesystem, the `Demo plan' includes filling the disk and then rebooting.  Is that the kind of test you were thinking of ?  In which case perhaps I should clarify by moving the comments about Testing/Long to `Demo plan' and or add `Test' to the `Demo plan' title ?06:46
iwjTtracing the system to find which daemons try to write stuff isn't going to help because we know there are lots of them and the issue isn't whether they write but what they do if they can't and whether the system can be used well enough to make space without them (if they break).06:47
iwjWhich is why I suggested testing that directly.06:47
iwjAs in, fill disk, reboot, how does it go ?06:48
Keybukiwj: sure, but at least finding out which ones try to write is going to help, no?06:48
iwjI don't think so, no.  There'll be loads.06:48
Keybuk"fill disk, reboot" is a bit "yeah, looks like it kinda works, let's ship it"06:48
iwjAnd it'll be quite uninteresting.06:48
Keybukneeds to be done on a step-by-step way06:48
Keybukyou could fill the disk and examine what happens when hal starts, for example06:49

Keybukor even not fill the disk, but wrap it with something that always fails on write() to a disk file06:49
Keybuketc.06:49
iwjYou could but I think that's out of scope.06:49
iwj`Examples of problems we consider out of scope: ... It is possible that some parts of the system or of the user's session will come up in a suboptimal state if the disk was full; this is fixable by making space and then rebooting'06:49
Keybukthe scope is "rigorously test the distribution"06:49
Keybuk(and fix any problems found)06:50
iwjThat seems too ambitious to me.06:50
Keybukit should be a few weeks of work, certainly06:50
iwjI don't think in practice we can make every default-install user app work if the disk is full at boot.06:50
Keybukapp; no06:51
iwjI agree that it would be nice but if we try to do this we'll be trying to shovel water uphill.  For every bug in this we fix some upstream will introduce ten more.06:51
Keybukevery process that we start by default should operate though06:51
iwjI agree that server installs ought to work if the disk was full during boot.06:51
Keybukthe desktop should as well06:52
iwjBut that's largely already the case and I think making servers more robust against that is a rather different task.06:52
Keybukthe user should be able to clean up some files, and carry on06:52
iwjYes, I agree that it _should_ but in practice we're not going to be able to make it.06:52
Keybukwe should try06:52
iwjYou might as well say `the desktop should keep working after we've upgraded the system under it'.06:52
Keybukit should06:52
iwjI agree but it's not going to happen.  If we put in two months of effort making it work in gutsy then it'll be broken in gutsy+1.06:53
iwjSince upstream don't think it's important.06:53
Keybukwe have an automated package testing framework, no?06:53
iwjAll that thorough testing will do is tell us that it's broken.  It won't fix it for us.06:54
Keybukknowing that it's broken is more than half of the battle06:54
iwjFor example, probably the single most important application is firefox and trying to make firefox work when your disk is full is a hopeless struggle.06:54
KeybukI don't think it's unreasonable for firefox to need to be restarted06:54
iwjIt's hard even to stop upstream making it catastrophically lose data.06:54
Keybukthis is why it's "boot and login with full filesystem"06:55
iwj`We will aim to make the system work well enough for a user to be able to log in and delete files using the normal graphical file manager'06:56
iwjIs achieveable.06:56
iwjI don't think `make whole system work' is.06:56
KeybukI didn't say "whole system"06:56
=== kalle_ [n=horst@ACADA36F.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Keybuk<Keybuk> every process that we start by default should operate though06:56
iwjAnd we can test `can log in and check and delete files' without needing to know whether this or that breaks.06:56
Keybukthe work asked for in the spec was to perform a *comprehensive* test06:57
iwjI don't see why `process that we start' is a relevant criterion for this spec.06:57
KeybukI don't see any plan for this test06:57
Keybukand I don't see any evidence in the spec of the test results06:57
Keybukiwj: relevant processes are all those run during the boot sequence, and login sequence; a subset of those being all those that are running when the user is at their desktop06:58
iwjAIUI the purpose of the spec is to improve the system's usefulness to users with specific references to the use cases and existing problems identified, right ?06:58
Keybuknone of these should fail in the case of full filesystem06:58
iwjI mean, that's the purpose of all specs.06:59
iwjDevelopment activities listed in the spec should further that goal.06:59

=== dpm [n=dpm@p54A12BB2.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel
iwjIt's not clear to me how (for example) discovering whether or not hal breaks during boot with full filesystem furthers the goal of making the user able to delete files.  Although actually we should extend the scope to removeable media since that's important for cleanup.07:01
Keybukit may not07:01
Keybukbut if HAL isn't operating, the user can't continue using their PC after deleting the files07:01
Keybuksince a major component will not be working07:01
iwjIndeed, but we expect them to reboot afterwards.  Since we know that the system may not operate properly and we don't think we can make all of the user's applications survive this problem, we should tell them to reboot.07:02
Keybukno07:02
Keybukwe do not want them to have to reboot afterwards07:02
iwj`t is possible that some parts of the system or of the user's session will come up in a suboptimal state if the disk was full; this is fixable by making space and then rebooting.'07:03
Keybukthat part of the spec is wrong07:03
iwjAre you saying you disagree with that part of the scope ?  OIC07:03
iwjI think the effort/reward ratio for making this work and keeping it working is not going to be worthwhile.07:04
iwjIf the user is going to be expected to restart firefox we might as well ask them to reboot.07:05

cypherbiosglatzor_: hi. What do you think about having a --sources-list=FILE in software-properties -- to let the user specify a custom sources list and do not mess up with their default one?07:20
glatzor_cypherbios: generally it's nicer to not cover all kind of extra cases in the core of the application, but making the core as flexibel as possible and use it in different contexts07:20
glatzor_cypherbios: so you could just add a manager.window_main.hide() after the init, instead of checking the options inside of the core07:21
glatzor_cypherbios: why?07:21
cypherbiosglatzor_: are you talking about the patch I sent yesterday?07:22

cypherbiosglatzor_: a use case would be when the user do not want to touch in his default sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) but want to add a reporitory or a third-party source or even a cdrom without messing the system's sources.list07:32
avoinefor install a backup instead of ubuntu07:32

pittigood bye07:35
glatzor_bryce: I don't know. it does not include a NEWS or Changelog file07:36
bryceI was just now looking at the ati driver - looks like they put out a new release (8.37.6 vs. our 8.34.8)07:36
glatzor_bryce: have you already read: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=735&num=107:37
cjwatsonavoine: standard solution is 'mount --bind /dev /target/dev'07:37
brycehmm, looks like the last update for our nvidia driver was Mar 2307:37
cjwatsonavoine: probably same for /proc and /sys07:37
cypherbiosglatzor_: actually I have a application called aptoncd, the objective of this tools is to create a removable repository with the apt-cached packages. After creating this medium, the user wants to add it as apt source, so they can do that by using the apt-cdrom add, synaptic, software sources or something, but the user also can do it by using the aptoncd interface,07:37
=== Lure_ [n=lure@89-212-19-55.dynamic.dsl.t-2.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
glatzor_bryce: the article mentions Ubuntu being part of the beta tester programme :)07:37
cypherbiosglatzor_:  currently aptoncd calls "/usr/sbin/synaptic", "--hide-main-window", "--non-interactive","-o=dir::etc=" + sourcesdir","-o=dir::etc::sourcelist=aptoncd.list"07:37
cjwatsonavoine: actually, I think 'mount -o bind' rather than 'mount --bind' - the mount in the installer doesn't understand --bind07:38
=== Spads [n=spacehob@unaffiliated/spads] has joined #ubuntu-devel
cjwatsonor maybe I'm wrong :)07:38
bryceglatzor_: in fact that's why I was just checking out the ati driver ;-)07:38
cypherbiosglatzor: with the --ask-cdrom, but I'd like do the same using the software-properties, so it will work in a kubuntu box without synaptic07:39
cypherbiosglatzor: so software-properties-{kde|gtk} --add-cdrom --sources-list=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/aptoncd.list would do the trick07:41
glatzorcypherbios: But I don't understand why you want to write into a different sources.list. Isn't enabling or disabling a repository using the software-properties or an editor the better way instead of copying sources.list files? 07:41
cypherbiosglatzor: it will not copy the sources.list, it will add the medium in the specified file, in a stand-alone mode, so I can remove, or edit the file in any way I (or user) want to, just to keep everything safe from mistakes07:42
cypherbiosbtw, it's not essential, just an additional option would turn things nicer07:43
