ubotuLaunchpad bug 134308 in emacs22 "python-mode does not work" [Undecided,New]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/13430810:31

siretartseb128: do you have the package 'python-mode' installed?10:33

coNPI guess emacs22 finds and installs it. Maybe you have emacs21 | emacs-snapshot installed as well10:35
siretartseb128: no, it seems that emacs22 hat its own python-mode builtin now. see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=42497310:35

siretartit seems to me that it doesn't make sense to port the python-mode package to emacs22 if it has its own version of 'python-mode.el' builtin10:37
seb128ok10:37
seb128I had python-mode still configured10:37
seb128which means /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50python-mode.el installed10:37
siretartI wonder why you get then the error message 'call-interactively: Cannot open load file: python-mode'10:37
seb128without it the emacs22 version works10:37
siretartoh yummi. It doesn't check if it has been removed but not purged. *sigh*10:38
siretartseb128: do you actively use emacs for development? I thought you're rather a vim guy10:38

seb128siretart: would be nice if you do10:45
seb128thanks10:45
siretartokay, I'm updating the bug10:47
siretartasac: as I mentioned before, there is a nasty regression in our 0.6.0-1 package, which has been fixed in 0.6.0-3. It is very likely to cause some of the problems we currently have in lp10:49
asacsiretart: which ones?10:50
siretartasac: I'd suggest that we sync wpasupplicant_0.6.3-3 in any case, and can still decide if we want to downgrade to 0.5.810:50
asacsiretart: sure ... but what regressions?10:50
siretartasac: the regression is if you have zero lenght essid in your wpasupplicant config. this is usually used in roaming situations (like nm does)10:50
asacdue to our patches? ... or does -3 contain prepatches?10:51
siretartwpasupplicant won't associate to any AP if you don't explicitly say which ESSID it should connect to. this is a clear regression to the 0.5 branch10:51
siretartasac: yes, as I said before, this regression has been fixed in 0.6.0-3, which I've uploaded to unstable yesterday10:51
siretartwe currently don't have any patches in the ubuntu wpasupplicant. I'd prefer to keep it that way if possible10:52
asacis that only a problem for config file scenario?10:52
siretartit is a problem if you use zero length ssids for roaming10:53
asacsiretart: you mean we don't have a patchsystem ... or do you mean we don't have more patches than debian has?10:53
siretartI'm not exactly sure if nm uses wpasupplicant this way10:53
siretartasac: I'm talking about this patch: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-wpa/wpasupplicant/trunk/debian/patches/10_fix_non_wpa_zero_len_ssid.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=010:54
asacsiretart: nm uses wpasupplicant through socket ... interface ... e.g. without configuration file10:54
siretart(included only in -3)10:54
siretartasac: again. depending on if nm is using this zero length essid roaming feature of wpasupplicant (which I think is likely), it might (or might not) explain some of the bugs we have10:56
asacsiretart: whatelse is in upstream svn that we might want to cherry-pick?10:57
asac(or upstream git .. or whatever) :)10:57
siretartupstream has changed to git for the 0.6.x series10:57
=== winkle [i=winkle@suiko.acc.umu.se] has joined #ubuntu-devel
siretartTBH, no idea. I didn't follow the commit mails lately.10:58
asacsiretart: it definitly doesn't use zeor length ssid if you click on the network in applet ... but it might use it if you manually configure your network ... i would have to check that.10:58
siretartyou can nowadays 'manually configure wpa'?!10:58
asaci think so10:59
siretartsince when? I thought that button just disabled NM and brings gnome-system-tools back to live (which doesn't support wpa at all)10:59
seb128siretart: it should in gutsy11:00
asacsiretart: just tested ... manual configuration allows to select wpa ...11:00
siretartah. great news!11:01
asacsiretart: probably not nm itself as you said11:01
siretartagain, I'd suggest that we sync -3 in any case now, and continue deciding about downgrading to 0.5.811:01
asacsiretart: however for normal nm mode it doesn't use roaming without explicit ssid, unless you have never been connected maybe.11:02
asacsiretart: sure ... you have upload rights?11:02
siretarterr, yes. but this goes anyway via the archive admins, since it is a sync11:02
siretartread, via seb128 :)11:02
asacseb128: can you please sync?11:03
=== asac still doesn't understand why to put load on archive admins ... in these cases
siretartasac: because there is still no gui in launchpad for syncs11:03
asacsiretart: ... well but why not just upload :)11:03
seb128asac: what cases?11:03
sorensiretart: No, but we could do it manually.11:03
asacseb128: wpasupplicant ... in case the auto-sync is disabled11:03
asacseb128: like now ... where is the difference from just me uploading the debian version ?11:04
sorensiretart: Grab the version from Debian, generate a changes file with the proper distribution set, and upload. voila.11:04
seb128right, auto-sync are disabled during the freeze11:04
siretartsoren: we could, but were will be beaten with a large stick by Mithrandir if we would do that11:04
seb128asac: you can't, the distro target is unstable and it'll not be accepted in gutsy11:04
asacseb128: oh right.11:04
sorensiretart: Yes, because that's what the policy says now. I agree with asac that it's a bit silly.11:04
siretartseb128: you can change the target distribution using changestool(1) (found in the reprepro package)11:05
seb128starting messing by hand with .changes is a good way to screw something11:05
sorenseb128: It's not really all that difficult to change. "dpkg-genchanges -Ddistribution=gutsy [...] "11:05
asacseb128: yeah ... can you push the button for wpasupplicant? or do you want a bug?11:05
seb128asac: will do the sync now11:05
asacseb128: thanks a lot :)11:05
sorenseb128: We could even wrap it up in a nice script that does the right thing.11:05
sorenseb128: Isn't that what the sync script does anyway?11:06
sorenseb128: The one you (the archive admins) use?11:06
siretartsoren: there is a nice script for that, but only available for the archive admins. I think there is little point to argue about this issue, since there spec for that is nowadays called 'NativeSourceSync'11:06
seb128soren: well, I would not like having everybody starting to modify .changes11:07
sorenseb128: Right, hence the script. :)11:07
siretartthe spec was there since the beginning of launchpad, and has changed name several times so far, AFAIK11:07
seb128with script or not11:07
sorensiretart: link?11:07
asacseb128: well ... its you who gets the load ... even if its neglectable it still causes an interrupt in your current workflow :)11:08
siretartsoren: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/soyuz/+spec/native-source-syncing11:08
seb128soren: the correct way would be to have a "sync this package" button on launchpad than anybody in the correct team could use11:08
asacseb128: if you say you like it then there is really no point to argue ;)11:08
asacseb128: well, but why not trust the people in the correct team to be able to use a script?11:08
=== viviersf [n=cain@gw.impilinux.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel
seb128asac: you can't restrict the script usage to a team11:09
=== siretart agrees to asac. you need to sign the upload with your gpg key anyway
asacseb128: yes, but the upload would die in the upload queue if some motu uploads to main for example11:09
=== tsmithe [n=toby@ubuntu/member/tsmithe] has joined #ubuntu-devel
siretartthis effectively limits the script usage to the correct persons11:09
asacseb128: or do you want more fine grained access-control?11:09
seb128no, people with upload rights would be ok I think11:10
siretartasac: nah, you could just put it to the devscripts package and let people use their own gpg keys for restricting uploads11:10
seb128well, nobody stop you to hack the .changes nowadays11:10

asacseb128: ok i see ... so it gives you a warning and asks you to confirm that you want to drop ubuntu changes when pressing sync button?11:12

Tonio_seb128: hey, little question...12:12
seb128Tonio_: ping with context = better ;)12:12
seb128sure12:12
Tonio_seb128: how to you perform a "buildprep" equivalent when not using cdbs on a gnome package ?12:12
Tonio_seb128: and having a patch that touches makefile.am files12:13

Tonio_instead of regenerating them during the build12:13
seb128hum?12:13
Tonio_seb128: do you have an equivalent for gnome or not ?12:14
seb128I'm not sure to understand what you want to do12:14
Tonio_seb128: I have a gnome app and a patch that touches a makfile.am file, and I'd like the makefile.in file to be generated according to the patched makefile.am12:14
Tonio_seb128: I wondered what is the good way to do that with gnome in your (for example) packages12:15
Tonio_seb128: we have a cdbs "buildprep" rule to do that for kde apps, which patches, regenerate files and unapply patches12:15
Amaranthyou run automake and diff the two12:20
seb128as I replied in query we usually do an autotools patch12:22
Tonio_oki thanks ;)12:24

sorenmathiaz: You already discussed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/128548 a bit, right?03:56
ubotuLaunchpad bug 128548 in samba "Enable net usershare?" [Wishlist,In progress] 03:56
sorenmathiaz: What was the conclusion?03:56
mathiazsoren: we discussed that with seb128 and infinity a couple of days ago03:57
mathiazsoren: the first step was to enable it in samba03:57
sorenSure.03:57
sorenAnd in user-setup, probably.03:57
mathiazsoren: and the second step was to add a new permission/role to the user and group management application03:57
sorenmathiaz: Which would map to a group membership, surely?03:57
mathiazsoren: yes03:58
sorenI'm not too hot on the smbshare group idea, actually.03:58
mathiazsoren: why ?03:58
sorenWell, I think the nicest thing to do would be to provide this option to users without any furhter configuration.03:59
sorenThis requires adding a group to base-config (and user-setup).03:59
soren...but it's not very nice to have a package specific group in there (smbshare is Samba-specific)03:59
=== Pici [n=Pici@ool-4355be00.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
soren...so I'd rather have a "fileshare" group or something like that.03:59
sorenI also think it's likely that the set of users you'd allow to use samba to share files is the same set of users you'd allow to share files with other protocols (webdav, http, whatever).04:00
mathiazsoren: I think we discussed that, and cjwatson_ said that adding more groups to base-config is not such a good idea04:00
mathiazsoren: ok. So you'd just change the name of the group.04:01
sorenmathiaz: And I agree with that. That's why I want to avoid having to do it next time a new appliaction comes along that allows pretty much the same thing only with a different protocol or something.04:01
sorenmathiaz: Naming it generically helps avoid that.04:02
=== Tonio_ [n=tonio@linagoraberri.pck.nerim.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sorenWe could go even further and add the missing "users" groups.04:03
=== rnorwood [i=rnorwood@nat/redhat/x-379d505d013fb23f] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mathiazsoren: we could. I think this should be discussed on ubuntu-devel.04:03
sorenThere's a bunch of different things we want to provide to all *actual* users, but not to all system users (not www-data, for instance).04:03
sorenmathiaz: Agreed. I just wanted to know what the status of the discussion was.04:04
mathiazsoren: well IIRC, it was not a good idea to add more system groups04:04
mathiazsoren: as we're running out of space for them04:04
mathiazsoren: cjwatson was not too keen on adding another group.04:04
sorenmathiaz: Ah, yes.04:05
mathiazsoren: that was the argument against adding a group to base-config.04:05
sorenmathiaz: Debian has already added it.. Hm..04:05
mathiazsoren: are you talking about the users group or smbshare/fileshare group ?04:06
=== Pici [n=Pici@ool-4355be00.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sorenHmm.... We *have* the users group. We just don't add users to it.04:07
sorenHm... That makes it a lot easier.04:07
sorenmathiaz: Well, both, actually.04:07
sorenmathiaz: I was contemplating allowing this to all users (human users, that is).04:07
sorenmathiaz: ...so using the "users" group for the net usershare stuff.04:08

sorenIndeed.04:10

sorenWe don't use the root user for anything.04:12
soren...and don't have a wheel group.04:12
realistWas an example04:12
mathiazsoren: well - there is no real difference between an admin user and regular user04:12
soren"user with sudo privileges (i.e. member of admin)"/"regular users"/"system users like nntp, bin, www-data, etc."04:12
mathiazsoren: an admin user is just an regular user that has a entry in the sudoers file.04:12

=== nnonix [n=brad@bkjohnson.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mjg59realist: If there's weird some part of the world that puts the wheel group in sudoers, yes04:14
realistmjg59: plenty of people do04:15
mjg59But it's not the traditional meaning of wheel04:15
realistmjg59: which is?04:15
mathiazsoren: well. That's what I meant - which is that an admin user is just a regular user that is part of the admin group04:15
mjg59su was only executable by people in the wheel group04:15
mathiazsoren: it's just another role - the same way as a user would be allowed to share files or not.04:16
=== eggauah [n=daniel@201.82.128.60] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sorenmathiaz: Well, yes. My point was more that (in this context) there are three kinds of users on the system: "users who should be able to break it"/"the other human users"/"the system users".04:17
mathiazsoren: ok. So what would you suggest ?04:17
mathiazsoren: we add a new group, fileshare ?04:18
realistmjg59: also root files had wheel gid04:18
mathiazsoren: how would this work for nfs sharing for example ?04:18
sorenmathiaz: With regard to this particular samba issue, yes.04:18
sorenmathiaz: It doesn't right now.04:18
sorenmathiaz: A few months ago, it didn't work with Samba either :)04:18
mathiazsoren: could we use this group to implement the same kind of access control for nfs sharing ?04:19
sorenmathiaz: At some point, someone might create a method for certain users to share stuff via nfs. At that point, we already have a group for that purpose.04:19
mathiazsoren: If we want to add a new group to the base-config, we'd better come up with some scenario about it.04:19
mathiazsoren: for nfs, which groups owns /etc/exports ?04:20
sorenmathiaz: root, probably.04:20
mathiazsoren: so we could change the group of /etc/exports to fileshare ?04:21
mathiazsoren: and make it group-writable also04:21
mathiazsoren: can I standard user call exportfs to reload the shares ?04:22
sorenmathiaz: Don't think so.04:22
sorenmathiaz: I also don't like changing the group of /etc/exports.04:23
=== herzi [n=herzi@p548FF2B2.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-devel []
mathiazsoren: so how could the fileshare group be used to implement an access control to nfs sharing ?04:23
sorenmathiaz: I don't know. NFS sharing was just an example.04:24
sorenmathiaz: My point is this:04:24
=== coNP [n=conp@ubuntu/member/coNP] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sorenmathiaz: Rather than adding a group that "is allowed to share files with samba by way of calling net usershare", I'd rather have a group that "is allowed to share files over the network in various ways".04:25
sorenmathiaz: The point is: If there was a mechanism for nfs similar to "net usershare" for samba, I can't imagine you'd provide said option to a different set of users.04:25
realistIs a unix group really necessary for this though?04:26
mathiazsoren: ok. And you'd like to add this group to base-config ?04:26
sorenrealist: Yes.04:26
soren:)04:26
mathiazrealist: for samba - yes.04:26
mathiazrealist: that's how it's implemented in samba.04:26

=== dendrobates [n=rclark@adsl-065-005-186-012.sip.asm.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel

sorenmathiaz: Yes, I'd also like to avoid that. :) I just want this to work out of the box.04:28

asaciwlist not as root doesn't scan ... just dumps the cache06:59
siretartthis is strange, because with ipw3945, I didn't need priviledges06:59
asacwell ... thats a driver issue then... afaik its official that it only actively scans when run as root06:59
siretartaha?06:59
asacsiretart: though it might be that your running wpa/nm scans in background06:59
siretartthats... interesting06:59
asacso your cache is filled06:59
siretartno, no wpasupplicant running07:00
siretartand nm doesn't detect the card anyway07:00
asacsiretart: look at man iwlist07:00
siretartanyway, need to leave now, will continue to investigate tomorrow07:00
asacits there :"Triggering scanning is a privileged operation (root only) and  normal  users  can  only  read left-over  scan  results ..."07:00
infinitysiretart: He means that on ipw3945, your cache may have been filled, hence why you didn't think you needed root to scan.07:00
siretartinfinity: this doesn't explain why iwlist as user doesn't show the cache contents with iwl, whereas ipw did07:01
asacsiretart: i would like to fix that nm detects the card ... maybe it will just work ;) ... compared to ipw3945 which causes so much pain07:01
=== atlas95 [n=atlas@84.5.38.248] has joined #ubuntu-devel
infinitysiretart: because you have no cache contents, because nothing's been doing background scanning.07:01
siretartasac: kelmo also said that they closed a lot of bugs by switching to iwl07:01
infinitysiretart: Which could be because NM doesn't detect your card, for instance.07:01
asacsiretart: yeah ... all my hope is now on iwl ;)07:02
asacsiretart: if you get wpasupplicant going chances are high that nm can do it too :)07:02

ion_I dont like it either, but due to license reasons, i hear thats the only way to go. They do get swapped out when the memory is needed, though, so its not as if theyre there eating your RAM all the time.07:17

BenC_danimo: yes, and it should be fixed in lum today08:03

mantiena-baltixmjg59, yea, it seems or you really don't understand me, or vice versa...  volatile modules are installed into /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.xxx/ , right ?08:05
bhalezul: /topic should support <blink>08:05

mantiena-baltixmjg59, could you explain me  what means *built* in ?08:08
mantiena-baltixlook at http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-10-386&version=gutsy&arch=i386&page=3&number=5008:08
mjg59mantiena-baltix: The files that end in .ko do not exist on the CD.08:08
mantiena-baltixAFAIK restricted modules are *installed* into /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.xxx/08:09
mjg59mantiena-baltix: The .o files that are provided on the CD are passed to gcc and turned into a .ko08:09
mantiena-baltixoh08:09
mjg59The .ko is saved in the volatile directory08:09
mantiena-baltixohhh08:10
mantiena-baltixand this is done during bootup, right ?08:10
mantiena-baltixI thought, that .ko are simply renamed .o files :)08:10
mjg59This is done during bootup, yes08:11
mantiena-baltixmjg59, so, why linux-restricted-modules-2.6.xxx packages can't provide .ko files ?08:14
mjg59Licensing issues08:14
mantiena-baltixfuck08:14
mjg59We tend not to do stupid things without having a reason to do so :)08:15
mantiena-baltixhehe08:15
mantiena-baltixI think we can always find better solution - as I see gutsy restricted modules eats more than 40 megabytes RAM and this cause not working LiveCD on systems with 256 RAM :(08:16
ScottKGutsy live cd works fine for me a 256mb system that does not need lrm except for wireless and modem (i.e. not for video).08:17
mjg59Well, we could (a) not provide restricted-modules, (b) get the source code to them released, (c) relicense Linux to something that isn't under the GPL08:17
mjg59Actually, that's not entirely fair. We could (in most cases) only build the drivers if the hardware is present08:17
mjg59Which would break hotplugging, but that's only an issue for a minority of the modules08:18
ion_It wouldnt break hotplugging, if done right.08:18
ion_Something like this might work: read modalias lists from the .o files, write them to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.lrm, add a hack that links the .ko file on demand when modprobing given module.08:21
=== jamesh [n=james@canonical/launchpad/jamesh] has joined #ubuntu-devel
ion_install nvidia /sbin/lrm-foobar build nvidia && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nvidia08:23
ion_Or something like that08:23
mjg59ion_: Sweet. You get to implement it :)08:24
ion_The fact that it takes like two hours to build l-r-m on this box somewhat discourages me from doing stuff with it. :-\08:25
gicmook, something is totally broken regarding tex on my system08:27
gicmo;-(08:27
mantiena-baltixScottK, maybe you are using  Gutsy on system, which has non-integrated video ?08:31
mantiena-baltixmjg59, I also think, that best solution is to build only these restricted .ko modules, which are really needed for real computer08:33
ScottKIt's an old laptop with an old ati video module that's well supported with free drivers.08:33
mathiazkylem: what's the status of the unison patch for apparmor ?08:33

gicmook, is this gutsy's fault or what the heck do I do wrong when an example (moderncv) doesn't compile on a very much clean gutsy install ;-/08:39
