[01:03] <jdstrand> mathiaz: why not debconf message?  echo may get lost.
[01:05] <keescook> mathiaz: I think debconf or Debian.NEWS (is that the right file) is the way to go.  Check with mvo?  I haven't actually done that before.
[01:06] <keescook> Riddell: something went wrong with my mythtv/mythplugins upload yesterday (it never hit soyuz somehow), can I just re-upload it, or do I need a full UVFe for it?
[01:06] <Riddell> keescook: just upload
[01:07] <keescook> Riddell: okay, thanks, trying again.
[01:07] <keescook> ah! I see what happened.  I mis-generated the changes file and forgot the orig.  I'm dumb.
[01:22] <rbrito> Hi there.
[01:22] <rbrito> Is there anybody seeing problems with the PowerPC port here?
[01:22] <rbrito> Especially today's build?
[01:23] <rbrito> I have some quite psychedelic colours on my framebuffer.
[01:23] <rbrito> This doesn't happen with MacOS X or with Debian.
[01:24] <rbrito> And it didn't happened with earlier builds of gutsy...
[01:25] <rbrito> It is unusable, unfortunately.
[01:25] <rbrito> Has anybody seen this?
[01:26] <rbrito> I have an iBook G3 600MHz with a Rage Mobility M3.
[01:26] <rbrito> Old vintage with 8MB of VRAM.
[01:28] <rbrito> I would like to help with the port (as I mentioned yesterday here, I don't know how platforms qualify as "supported" under Ubuntu).
[01:28] <rbrito> Under Debian, I know the procedures for qualification of a port...
[01:28] <rbrito> But I would like to help get Ubuntu working fine in as many computers that I can.
[01:32] <rbrito> Also, this bug is a complete show-stopper:
[01:32] <rbrito> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126146

[01:33] <rbrito> We seem to have unfortunate situations here with the bootstrapping process.
[01:34] <rbrito> :-(
[01:34] <rbrito> Can anybody help?
[01:34] <rbrito> I am willing to test anything that I can.
[01:41] <rbrito> Anybody can help?
[01:43] <minghua> rbrito: I think the best bet is filing a bug report.
[01:43] <minghua> rbrito: also it's (close to) weekend, so many developers are probably not here.
[01:43] <rbrito> minghua, Thanks for your answer.
[01:44] <rbrito> I already filed a bug report...
[01:44] <rbrito> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126146
[01:44] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 126146 in initramfs-tools "gutsy doesn't boot completely on powerpc (dup-of: 131150)" [Undecided,New] 
[01:44] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 131150 in initramfs-tools "IDE drivers not loaded at boot with powerpc" [High,Confirmed] 
[01:44] <rbrito> But it has not seen much attention. :-(
[01:45] <rbrito> And it is quite important now to support the powerpc platform.
[01:47] <rbrito> I say this because Apple is cutting support for all PowerPC computers that were based on any chips up to G3 with the next release of MacOS X and, thus, there is quite a lot of users that would benefit from a fine Operating system that Ubuntu Linux is.
[01:47] <bhale> I believe the fastest g3 is 500mhz or so, which is getting a little old for a full blown GNOME/KDE desktop
[01:47] <bhale> xubuntu might be a good choice
[01:48] <rbrito> bhale, no, I have a G3 here that is 600MHz and I have used G3 computers that were 900MHz.
[01:48] <rbrito> Stock from Apple.
[01:48] <rbrito> My iBook has 640MB of RAM.
[01:48] <bhale> thats not bad
[01:48] <stgraber> bhale: I have a Powerbook G3 working fine with KDE even with compiz and things like that
[01:49] <rbrito> stgraber, so, it seems that the userbase of PowerPC is not that small, at least. :-)
[01:50] <rbrito> I would be happy with just fluxbox, but not having the boot process working makes things harder.
[01:50] <stgraber> rbrito: well, it's more of a test/builder computer, my work laptop being a nice Core2Duo :)
[01:50] <rbrito> I am not even considering using compiz and all the superb stuff.
[01:51] <stgraber> yes, I also had that ide thing, I'll try doing a test with fixed initram when I have a moment
[01:51] <rbrito> stgraber, I don't have that much luck with my hardware, being in here in Brazil.
[01:51] <rbrito> stgraber, I would volunteer to be a tester.
[01:52] <rbrito> As you can see in the following bug report, I usually take my bugreports quite seriously and in a detailed fashion:
[01:53] <rbrito> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/123263
[01:53] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 123263 in compiz "tribe-2 has severe problems due to screen effects enabled by default" [High,Confirmed] 
[01:54] <rbrito> I usually do my best.
[01:55] <rbrito> bhale, I also have an older PowerMac that is dual-processor (inherited from my uncle).
[01:55] <rbrito> It has, though, an upgrade of processor to a G3 450MHz.
[01:57] <rbrito> bhale, and, as you can see here, I have a bit of experience with older PowerPC machines:
[01:57] <rbrito> http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/04/msg00434.html
[01:58] <rbrito> stgraber, Do you have anything that I could test now?
[01:58] <rbrito> I eagerly want to help.
[01:59] <rbrito> Actually, I would love to see PowerPC supported back to the same level that it was before...
[01:59] <rbrito> Not as a port.
[01:59] <rbrito> And talking about ports, are there mirrors of ports.ubuntu.com?
[02:00] <rbrito> I have done some quick searches and found none...
[02:00] <rbrito> My download rates from ports.ubuntu.com are terribly slow. :-(
[02:02] <rbrito> Having PowerPC with a good supported status would be superb.
[02:02] <rbrito> But I can't even install it due to the bugs that I pointed above... :-(
[02:02] <rbrito> I can really test any images that are around.
[02:03] <rbrito> I am willing to be a guinea pig and help get my laptop in working conditions so that I can deliver some classes...
[02:03] <rbrito> With a modern distribution.
[02:05] <rbrito> well, it seems that there is not much momentum to help the PowerPC port... :-(
[02:05] <rbrito> I'd love to be helpful to the distribution...
[02:05] <Trewas> rbrito: you could not have picked a more desperate time to bring it up here as it is middle of the night in europe (where many of the devels are) and weekend :)
[02:06] <rbrito> Trewas, sorry, the differences in timezones...
[02:06] <Trewas> not that I have anything to do with the development of ubuntu... just a side note
[02:07] <rbrito> I thought that Ubuntu had developers in the Americas...
[02:07] <rbrito> Trewas, that's ok.
[02:07] <ScottK> rbrito: There are some.
[02:08] <rbrito> ScottK, but would there be any involved with the boot process?
[02:08] <rbrito> I would like to help.
[02:08] <ScottK> Not that I know of.
[02:08] <rbrito> It seems to be a moderately trivial fix...
[02:08] <ScottK> European week day is your best bet.
[02:08] <ScottK> You could also attach a patch to the relevant bug.
[02:09] <rbrito> ScottK, Oh, ok. I guess that I will have to wait.
[02:09] <rbrito> The fix is just an echo ide-core > /proper/module/loading/file
[02:09] <rbrito> That's it.
[02:10] <ScottK> I'd still make a patch and attach it.  It's more likely to be looked at.
[02:10] <rbrito> But the bug persists in that even with newer kernel images than 2.6.22-6 (I tried 2.6.22-9) the problem surfaces...
[02:11] <rbrito> ScottK, Ok, I think that I will have to do that...
[02:11] <rbrito> Well, I'm going now.
[02:11] <rbrito> Thank you very much for all the help you've provided.
[02:12] <rbrito> I really hope to have PowerPC better supported in tribe-5 and in the final release.
[02:13] <rbrito> See ya

[12:33] <Riddell> SimIJskes: isn't that something for upstream?
[12:33] <SimIJskes> you tell me. i only like to include it in ubuntu
[12:53] <StevenK> Mithrandir: If you're around, do you mind NBS'ing some binaries  out of the archive?
[12:58] <SimIJskes> Riddell: do you know of a motu developer who likes to adopt this?
[01:00] <Seveas> SimIJskes, such changes really should go upstream...
[01:00] <Seveas> SimIJskes, and libpoppler is in main, so not the domain of the MOTU
[01:01] <SimIJskes> Seveas: it's only a little patch.

[06:55] <asac> pygi: why gnash? thought you were on swfdec?
[07:47] <pygi> asac, I'm on everything xD
[07:48] <pygi> asac, swfdec is packaged and reported bug about it (not swfdec-mozilla yet tho)
[07:48] <asac> pygi: what did you do to gnash? can you pleaes tell me?
[07:49] <pygi> asac, because of that upgrade from 3? we talked about that xD
[07:49] <pygi> asac, just did work on my branch, uploaded nothing
[07:49] <asac> ah ok
[07:52] <asac> pygi: so is revision 102 exactly the same that is uploaded as ubuntu4?
[07:54] <asac> pygi: i read "for people with ubuntu3 and ubuntu4 packages
[07:55] <asac> "
[07:55] <asac> is ubuntu4 broken as well?
[07:55] <asac> ok nevermind
[07:57] <pygi> asac, no, ubuntu4 isn't broken
[07:57] <pygi> asac, but it needs modification so people with 3 could safely upgrade
[07:57] <asac> yeah i saw that now ... i just was a bit confused by changelog wording
[07:58] <asac> but thats ok
[07:58] <pygi> you should test that fix, so we're sure it's fine
[07:58] <pygi> kk :)
[07:58] <asac> i will before the upload ;)
[07:58] <pygi> asac, swfdec0.5.1 here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/swfdec0.4/+bug/133052

[07:58] <pygi> soon anyway xD
[07:58] <asac> sure ... tell me when its there ... i will do both at once then
[07:59] <pygi> oki =)
[08:00] <asac> does swfdec have a branch as well?
[08:00] <pygi> asac, nop, because you said you wanted mainline branch to be part of motu
[08:00] <pygi> asac, and I can't do that
[08:01] <pygi> but I can create my personal branch if you wish
[08:02] <ScottK> swfdec0.5 will be a new package, right?
[08:06] <asac> pygi: yes please do
[08:06] <asac> actually i think we should name the source package just swfdec
[08:07] <ScottK> Either way, it'll be a new source package.
[08:08] <asac> technically yes
[08:10] <asac> politically i would say no :)
[08:16] <pygi> asac, personally, I like the way it is now
[08:16] <pygi> asac, for now at least
[08:17] <pygi> asac, because Company uses version as part of soname
[08:21] <pygi> asac_, what's the last thing you saw? xD
[08:24] <asac_> pygi: i will ping you again ... have to reboot gateway because of kernel upgrade ... and more importantly reset my modem
[08:24] <asac_> pygi: i saw 20:10 < asac> politically i would say no :)
[08:24] <asac_> nothing more
[08:24] <asac_> cu soon
[08:24] <pygi> asac_, I didnt got that :)
[08:24] <pygi> laters =)
[08:24] <asac_> oh
[08:24] <asac_> hehe
[08:24] <asac_> yeah
[08:24] <asac_> bye
[08:53] <pygi> wb asac
[08:53] <pygi> asac, so what you didn't saw from me is:
 asac, personally, I like the way it is now
 asac, for now at least
[08:53] <pygi> * ryu (n=chris@unaffiliated/ryu) has joined #ubuntu-devel
 asac, because Company uses version as part of soname
[08:54] <asac> well ... but having a new source package for each single new version is not really great
[08:55] <pygi> asac, we have new source package anyway
[08:56] <asac> yes ... but if we drop version from it now we won't have that next time
[08:56] <pygi> asac, ah, k
[08:57] <asac> since company offered to track abi if we care ... we should probably let him know that we care :)
[08:58] <pygi> asac, :P
[08:58] <pygi> nod =)
[09:00] <pygi> asac, ok, my suggestion follows: do it like swfdec0.5 now, and when we get proper abi from Company, do it the right way?
[09:00] <pygi> or you want to do it now
[09:02] <asac> better do it now ... otherwise we just put load on source NEW reviewers
[09:03] <asac> having versioned binaries is enough for now
[09:03] <pygi> oh well, k
[09:20] <pygi> asac, Baby was searching for you in #gnash
[09:22] <asac> yeah ... tomorrow i will join that channel again :)

[12:19] <asac> crimsun: did you remove that because of this?
[12:19] <crimsun> asac: no, the Debian maintainer did
[12:20] <asac> crimsun: ok we need it ... its pretty illegal to not display it afaik
[12:20] <asac> crimsun: do you have an idea how to resurrect it?
[12:20] <asac> e.g. what the exact changes were?
[12:22] <crimsun> asac: Bart's changes are in 9.0.21.78.1; essentially, you'd need to revert his debian/templates and debian/config changes
[12:22] <crimsun> (change the default download to "no" for starters)
[12:23] <asac> crimsun: default download == display license?
[12:24] <crimsun> asac: yes.
[12:24] <crimsun> asac: it's Template: flashplugin-nonfree/httpget
[12:25] <asac> how easy is it to decouple that ?
[12:26] <asac> i mean we have to ask user to accept that license everytime
[12:26] <asac> ... so debconf for that is just wrong ... or do i miss the point here?
[12:27] <asac> let me look that ugly package :(
[12:29] <crimsun> it wouldn't be terribly difficult to decouple, but it is messy as you imply.
