| alex-weej | does Ubuntu have an application naming policy (e.g. for Desktop Entry files)? | 12:40 |
| Utnubu | hi all | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | alex-weej: delegated to desktop environments which generally do | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | the GNOME HIG at least does, I believe | 12:41 |
| alex-weej | cjwatson: ok, but they're not exactly compatible with other upstreams | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | that's as may be, but no policy would be | 12:41 |
| alex-weej | cjwatson: i'm thinking we should have one, and patch our packages to be consistent | 12:41 |
| Utnubu | Since compiz is enabled per default in Gutsy or at least everything is ready for it why compizconfig-settings-manager isn't installed per default? | 12:42 |
| cjwatson | alex-weej: so a different incompatible policy? I'm sure that would be excellent and really justify the work ;-) | 12:42 |
| alex-weej | it seems that some applications are just "Name" ("Qalculate!"), others are "Generic Name" ("Text Editor") | 12:42 |
| alex-weej | and in many cases they're not even the right name | 12:42 |
| alex-weej | for example we're calling Impress "OpenOffice.org Presentation" | 12:42 |
| alex-weej | when it starts up, it's called OpenOffice.org Impress everywhere | 12:42 |
| alex-weej | same with Text Editor and gedit | 12:43 |
| alex-weej | (that's one upstream not even eating their own dog food) | 12:43 |
| Riddell | alex-weej: I think the gnome packagers edit some names to make them more generic | 12:43 |
| Riddell | which is the wrong way to do it in my opinion, it should just use GenericName if that's what they want | 12:43 |
| alex-weej | cjwatson: it would confuse users less. I don't know why we had to rename OpenOffice components. | 12:43 |
| alex-weej | Riddell: (agreed, fwiw) | 12:43 |
| cjwatson | OpenOffice.org Presentation seems more consistent with http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/desktop-integration.html#menu-item-names to me | 12:44 |
| === milli [n=milli@nat.ironport.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | likewise Text Editor | 12:44 |
| === Utnubu [n=Utnubu@ip79.134.1511H-CUD12K-03.ish.de] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| alex-weej | cjwatson: but that's not what it's called... it's called Impress - i'd say changing the name of upstream programs isn't doing anyone any favours | 12:45 |
| cjwatson | you asked if there was a policy; I answered you ... | 12:45 |
| alex-weej | cjwatson: i'm justifying the need for our own | 12:45 |
| alex-weej | as we are the ones who have to mix everything together and call it a product | 12:45 |
| mjg59 | The policy is, where possible, to provide applications with a menu entry along the lines of (specific name) (generic name) | 12:46 |
| cjwatson | not to disagree with the fact that we're integrators, but I think where desktop entries are concerned the desktop environment upstreams also have some experience as integrators | 12:46 |
| mjg59 | So you get OpenOffice Presentation or Epiphany Web Browser | 12:46 |
| cjwatson | I think Impress is a particularly poor choice of application to try to make a point about here | 12:47 |
| alex-weej | the problem is that it's "OpenOffice.org Impress Presentation Editor" | 12:47 |
| mjg59 | Not in any real sense, no | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | OpenOffice.org is a perfectly sufficient brand on its own and Presentation is a lot clearer in the menu entry than Impress | 12:47 |
| alex-weej | cjwatson: so we need to change a OOo strings to read "OpenOffice.org Presentation" | 12:48 |
| alex-weej | and that raises confusion for ex-Windows users | 12:48 |
| alex-weej | who are used to using Impress for creating "powerpoints"(!) | 12:48 |
| cjwatson | that sounds like a lot more work for much less benefit | 12:48 |
| alex-weej | at least it's consistent with itself | 12:48 |
| cjwatson | the menu entry is the first point of entry | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | anyway, bed | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | alex-weej: No. The idea that the menu entry is the real name of the program is incorrect. | 12:49 |
| alex-weej | Name=OpenOffice.org Impress;GenericName=Presentation Editor | 12:49 |
| Amaranth | gnome-menus doesn't support GenericName :) | 12:49 |
| alex-weej | mjg59: desktop entry files aren't menu entries | 12:49 |
| mjg59 | alex-weej: THe menu entry provides enough information for you to know what the program is, and also what specific instance of that class of programs it is | 12:49 |
| alex-weej | mjg59: desktop entry files describe applications | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ "how it appears in menus, etc." | 12:50 |
| SwellJoe | Anyone have a pointer to an example of running "apt-ftparchive release" that doesn't lead to a zero-sized "Release" entry in the Release file (and an error when using the resulting repo)? | 12:50 |
| Amaranth | alex-weej: desktop entry files tell you what the application is and what it does | 12:50 |
| mjg59 | alex-weej: Providing the full title of the application provides no benefit to our users. Nor does changing the name of a program to be the same as its menu entry. | 12:50 |
| Amaranth | alex-weej: so OpenOffice.org Presentation fits fine | 12:50 |
| Amaranth | so does Text Editor | 12:50 |
| alex-weej | but when I install Foo Text Editor | 12:50 |
| Amaranth | no matter what the application says it is | 12:50 |
| alex-weej | and i have the choice of Text Editor and Foo Text Editor, it just looks stupid | 12:51 |
| mjg59 | That's an argument for names which are entirely generic to include a specifier | 12:51 |
| Amaranth | alex-weej: well it would be GNOME Text Editor but since that would end up with you seeing GNOME everywhere it's stripped off | 12:51 |
| mjg59 | Not an argument for changing OpenOffice Presentation to OpenOffice Impress | 12:51 |
| alex-weej | Amaranth: no, it's Name=GEdit;GenericName=Text Editor | 12:51 |
| alex-weej | mjg59: right, it's two separate arguments about cleaning up the same messy | 12:52 |
| alex-weej | *mess | 12:52 |
| Amaranth | alex-weej: No it's not | 12:52 |
| Amaranth | it's Name=Text Editor | 12:52 |
| alex-weej | Amaranth: i was speaking hypothetically | 12:52 |
| Amaranth | alex-weej: gnome-menus does not support GenericName | 12:52 |
| alex-weej | then that's too bad | 12:53 |
| Amaranth | and it's a bit of a compatibility break if you change it now | 12:53 |
| Amaranth | because lots of apps would have to be changed | 12:53 |
| alex-weej | what are we going to break compatibility with? the current mess? | 12:53 |
| Amaranth | Yes | 12:53 |
| mjg59 | Sigh. | 12:53 |
| Amaranth | Although I wouldn't call it a mess | 12:53 |
| mjg59 | This conversation is not aiding Ubuntu development. | 12:53 |
| Amaranth | It is not | 12:53 |
| mjg59 | If you have a concrete proposal, write it up. | 12:54 |
| Amaranth | alex-weej: #gnome-hackers :) | 12:54 |
| alex-weej | Epiphany has a name, "Epiphany". Totem has a name "Totem", Impress has a name "Impress" | 12:54 |
| mjg59 | But you're not going to convince the development team by having an argument on IRC at a time when most of them are in bed | 12:54 |

| fabbione | lucas: it probably means that you need to fix those 21 packages to Build-Dep on libxext-dev if they need that library | 09:54 |

| lucas | re-adding the dep seems harmless. it was dropped because of #366676 | 09:55 |
| lucas | (I talked with julien cristau, and he plans to push that change to unstable, not revert it) | 09:56 |
| fabbione | lucas: well there is a fix in there by breaking a loop in the build dep | 09:57 |
| fabbione | lucas: not that it really matters were we are now | 09:57 |

| Riddell | Kmos: so what is xterm.log.html? | 11:30 |
| Kmos | Riddell: i found another bug on LP about xterm that will fix with 229-1, i've commented there | 11:30 |
| Kmos | Riddell: hmm.. let's check that | 11:30 |
| Riddell | Kmos: err, it removes the .desktop file? how is someone ment to run it then? | 11:32 |
| tepsipakki | those were added upstream not too long ago | 11:33 |
| tepsipakki | +by | 11:33 |
| seb128 | xterm .desktop? | 11:33 |
| tepsipakki | uyes | 11:33 |
| seb128 | those need to use a NoDisplay=true | 11:33 |
| tepsipakki | damnit, I can't type today.. | 11:33 |
| Riddell | seb128: why? | 11:33 |
| seb128 | because they are not nice creating a system tools category on the default desktop | 11:33 |
| tepsipakki | seb128: they were removed by debian | 11:34 |
| seb128 | Riddell: because we install xterm for whatever reason and it's not nice to have 3 terminal emulator in the default installation | 11:34 |
| Riddell | seb128: if it's a problem having it in the default desktop, why not remove it from the seed? | 11:34 |
| seb128 | Riddell: I except we have it by default because it's part of the basic debug tools | 11:34 |
| seb128 | like the debug login is running Xorg with an xterm | 11:35 |
| Kmos | Riddell: done | 11:35 |
| \sh | Riddell, you don't want to remove xterm from the seeds..xterm is default and should be installed by default | 11:35 |
| seb128 | s/except/expect | 11:35 |
| Riddell | \sh: is default for what? | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | xterm is used by the failsafe session | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | oh, seb said that | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | I think moving it to Accessories would be better than removing it, though | 11:38 |
| \sh | Riddell, default for every X installation I know, and it shouldn't be removed from the default install of Ubuntu...and the facts from seb and cjwatson, which are important too | 11:38 |
| cjwatson | gnome-terminal lives there (as does pterm, though that's incidental :-)) | 11:38 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: we would have gnome-terminal, xterm, uxterm there | 11:38 |
| cjwatson | seb128: yes | 11:38 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: that start being a bit much terminal emulators wise to my taste | 11:38 |
| iwj | ion_: Hmm. In theory, yes, triggers could improve that. But the structure of the way the initramfs's are added and removed would have to be changed and I think we may be a bit late in the release cycle for that change. | 11:39 |

| cjwatson | Kmos: yes | 11:51 |
| Kmos | cjwatson: i'm refering to them also | 11:51 |

| cjwatson | * undo an incorrect fix for a memory leak in (Debian #435858). | 11:52 |

| cjwatson | stop telling me to do that. I already did. | 11:52 |
| Kmos | :) | 11:53 |
| tepsipakki | Kmos: those are only links to previous releases | 11:53 |
| cjwatson | why are the contents of patches #226 and #209 relevant? we already have those | 11:53 |
| cjwatson | the changelog is indicating that it fixes problems in those patches | 11:53 |
| cjwatson | we already have everything up to patch #228 | 11:53 |
| Kmos | cjwatson: and two LP bugs.. | 11:54 |
| cjwatson | this is still not "many". you were exaggerating the importance and I'm calling you on it. | 11:54 |

| Chipzz | Kmos: hobbsee already told you quite extensively why she didn't reply on your powertop sync request any more yesterday; why do you bring it up again then? | 01:37 |
| Kmos | Chipzz: because if she doesn't want, maybe someone else want to. | 01:37 |
| === rbrunhuber_ [n=rbrunhub@highway.mvi.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Chipzz | Kmos: also, sync requests are NOT about finding as many packages as possible that have a new version in debian or upstream, and requesting a sync request for all of them just for the sake of it | 01:38 |
| Chipzz | and you have also been told that | 01:38 |
| Kmos | Chipzz: yeah.. but as you can see isn't about to find many packages possible. it's about credibility | 01:39 |
| Chipzz | almost sounds like you don't get what a sync request is | 01:39 |
| Kmos | Chipzz: but for that, I won't ask for any syncs anymore | 01:39 |
| Kmos | just want the ones i've waiting done for gutsy | 01:39 |
| Kmos | like the powertop that still an RC in gutsy | 01:39 |
| Chipzz | Kmos: maybe your credibility is related to the number and quality of the sync requests you file? | 01:40 |
| Kmos | 1.8 is the final | 01:40 |
| Kmos | Chipzz: don't think so.. you can check all of them =) | 01:40 |
| Kmos | it's about the number | 01:40 |
| Kmos | quantity :) | 01:40 |
| Chipzz | a sync request is about synchronizing it because it actually has a concrete use; ie it fixes one (or more) bugs we care about | 01:41 |
| Chipzz | and care about means "not just some random bug" | 01:42 |
| === Spads [i=spacehob@unaffiliated/spads] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kmos | yeah, I know | 01:42 |
| Chipzz | the idea is to actually get packages stable in preparation for a release; that means, no new features, and be carefull about what bugs they fix | 01:43 |
| Chipzz | because every change can introduce a new bug | 01:43 |
| Chipzz | so the bugfix for a minor bug may very well introduce one or more more severe bugs | 01:43 |
| Fujitsu | This is what cherrypicking is for. | 01:44 |

| === MinuteElectron [n=MinuteEl@silentflame/member/minuteelectron] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| Chipzz | Kmos: then *why* do you show so little intelligence and common sense? | 01:47 |
| Chipzz | for example in filing these sync requests? | 01:47 |
| Chipzz | I'm guessing that's why people get mad at you | 01:47 |
| Kmos | Chipzz: have you checked the sync requests i asked for ? | 01:47 |
| Kmos | Chipzz: maybe it's that, and that's because I won't file sync requests | 01:48 |
| Kmos | anymore | 01:48 |
| Chipzz | Kmos: quite frankly I don't need to if I see Hobbsee's comments | 01:48 |
| Kmos | Chipzz: if you think that, that's your problem | 01:49 |
| Kmos | *like that | 01:49 |
| Chipzz | Kmos: my guess is people get mad at you because despite the fact that they've explained several things to you several times, you just don't seem to get the general idea and spirit behind it | 01:49 |
| Chipzz | Kmos: I'm not calling you dumb, I'm just saying that you should try to understand why what you're doing is wrong, and learn from that | 01:50 |
| Chipzz | but the last part (learning from that) is what's missing apparently, and that's why people get mad at you | 01:51 |
| Kmos | I always be criticized from whatever I do, so I choose not to contribute directly to ubuntu, even file sync requests | 01:51 |

| Kmos | Chipzz: yes. | 01:52 |
| infinity | Kmos: We're not divorced parents you can play off each other to satisfy your whims. Hobbsee's decision is just as final as anyone else's on the team. | 01:52 |
| Kmos | I think another one has sent an e-mail to devel mailing list about me.. | 01:53 |
| Chipzz | Kmos: what you seem to lack is not intelligence, just an understanding about what things like a release process are | 01:53 |
| Kmos | infinity: so what's hobbsee decision ? | 01:53 |
| infinity | Kmos: In my scrollback, I saw mention of her turning down one of your requests, and you asking someone else instead "in case they might want it". Don't do that. | 01:53 |
| infinity | Kmos: It just wastes our time to have multiple team members going over the same requests over and over again until you get your desired result. | 01:54 |
| Kmos | infinity: she told me she won't process my requests. so I need someone else to do it | 01:54 |
| Chipzz | infinity: 13:37 < Chipzz> Kmos: hobbsee already told you quite extensively why she didn't reply on your powertop sync request any more yesterday; why do you bring it up again then? | 01:54 |
| Chipzz | infinity: ;) | 01:54 |
| Chipzz | oh | 01:54 |

| iwj | (I don't know what a .la is but I remember some people whose identities I've forgotten telling me they were EBW somehow and we were trying to get rid of them.) | 03:22 |

| Riddell | iwj: we have loads of libraries with .la files | 03:22 |

| Riddell | iwj: can't imagine so | 03:22 |
| iwj | OK, I must have misunderstood. | 03:23 |
| siretart | iwj: speaking of MIRs, do you have news on the cryptsetup MIR? | 03:23 |
| seb128 | iwj: we try to get ride of them since they often bring issues (like when you drop a depends from a lib you need to rebuild all the packages shipping a .la to reflect that) | 03:23 |
| === agoliveira [n=adilson@fw.pepper.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| lamont | iwj: .la files are how you wind up with horribly long build-depends lists that don't need to be that way other than for .la files. | 03:24 |
| iwj | seb128: Right. | 03:24 |
| iwj | Hmm. | 03:24 |
| lamont | nothing in the gnome universe should have them. | 03:24 |
| iwj | But is it an approval-critical bug if it does ? | 03:24 |
| lamont | and seb128 said it better | 03:24 |
| seb128 | iwj: no, shipping them is not a bug | 03:25 |
| seb128 | we just try to get ride of them to make things easier | 03:25 |
| iwj | siretart: No, I don't have any news but let me see the status. (In general, feel free to chase me for MIRs.) | 03:25 |
| iwj | seb128: OK | 03:25 |
| StevenK | Damn it, find, *why* does -ctime have to be * 24 hours | 03:25 |
| lamont | well, if the package changes at a later date to not use a lib that it does today, and delivered a .la file, then that droppage will require a rebuild of everything that build-depends that package and delivers a .la file. recursively | 03:25 |
| cjwatson | StevenK: does -cmin help? | 03:25 |
| StevenK | *blink* Didn't know that one. | 03:26 |
| cjwatson | still a stupid granularity but might be better | 03:26 |
| iwj | siretart: It's under `reviewed packages that need work' in the queue. Looking at the review now. | 03:26 |
| StevenK | cjwatson: Indeed, thanks muchly | 03:26 |
| iwj | siretart: Seems nothing much has changed since my last review. | 03:27 |
| seb128 | bah, apt sucks at describing why a package is not installable | 03:27 |
| siretart | ogra: I think you have been filing the mir. are you still working on it? | 03:27 |
| seb128 | iwj: bug #135519, do you think those bugs could have an apt debug log or something like that? | 03:28 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 135519 in compiz "autopkgtest gutsy compiz amd64: erroneous package!" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/135519 | 03:28 |
| seb128 | iwj: the bug has been opened on compiz but the issue is libcompizconfig0 not being installable and there is no detail (I think that's a transitional issue, mvo uploaded a new stack with Breaks use today) | 03:28 |
| iwj | seb128: I could probably organise that. How would I acquire one ? | 03:28 |
| seb128 | iwj: probably by setting Debug::pkgProblemResolver to true in the apt configuration | 03:29 |
| iwj | seb128: Right, if it's just a transitional problem feel free to close the bug with `this is fixed now we think'. | 03:29 |
| seb128 | iwj: is there a way to determine that the bug is a "package not installable" and do a new try with this one set in this case? | 03:30 |
| iwj | The tester can't really tell if uninstallability is just transient or not. | 03:30 |
| iwj | I think it would be better just to turn on the debugging in general. | 03:30 |
| seb128 | mvo: ^ what do you think? | 03:30 |
| iwj | Or to capture it and suck it out. | 03:30 |
| iwj | I mean, suck it out if the installation fails. | 03:30 |
| seb128 | right, that would be nice | 03:31 |
| mvo | iwj: you could use some sort of greylisting, if the install fails, record that and then try again in ~4h (or some other value). if it fails then still, file a bug | 03:32 |
| seb128 | mvo: would it be possible to make apt smarter about displaying errors? | 03:34 |
| seb128 | it display package is not installable because <list of depends not installable> | 03:34 |
| seb128 | but doesn't mention where is the issue in the list of depends | 03:34 |
| seb128 | and what prevents it to be installed | 03:34 |
| mvo | seb128: probably | 03:34 |
| soren | I need a bit of assistance with some licensing stuff. There's a bug about enabling some additional modules in the php5 build. The two modules in question are readline and gmp. readline is GPL, while gmp is LGPL. | 03:35 |
| seb128 | you usually have to apt-get install each of them to figure the bug | 03:35 |
| mvo | at least for simple cases | 03:35 |
| mvo | sometimes apt does not that itself ;) | 03:35 |
| soren | IIRC the php license is considered gpl-incompatible, so php5-readline would require an exception from the libreadline copyright holder, correct? | 03:35 |

| superm1_ | seb128, it was to feisty-proposed and edgy-proposed | 03:38 |

| seb128 | superm1_: I looked at ubuntu-archive bugs this morning and there was nothing about that | 03:42 |

| mvo | lamont: I never actually looked what it is, I noticed that you maintain it :) | 03:49 |
| mvo | iwj: cool, even better. thanks | 03:49 |
| lamont | mvo: you feed it a pair of IPs and MACs. it inserts you in the middle | 03:49 |
| StevenK | lamont: That's *EVIL* | 03:50 |
| mvo | lamont: that is useful! | 03:50 |
| lamont | network problem diagnosis made simpler | 03:50 |
| lamont | arp cache poisoning for the win | 03:50 |
| ion_ | That program would probably be illegal in Germany. :-) | 03:50 |
| StevenK | It's a MITM attack, used for diagnosis. Ouch. | 03:50 |

| lamont | StevenK: when I pointed out the stupidity of the policy, they granted me an exception from it. | 03:53 |
| StevenK | Heh | 03:53 |
| lamont | they much prefer possession rules to intent-based rules | 03:53 |
| StevenK | "I can't do my work, since any web browswer is against company policy." | 03:53 |
| lamont | to which their response is of course, that they'll determine on a case-by-case basis what is and is not malware. | 03:54 |
| lamont | which just means that if they want to fire someone, that's one more excuse they can use... | 03:55 |

| iwj | siretart: You might consult the release team about whether this needs or gets a freeze exception. | 04:07 |
| iwj | siretart: If you can tidy up the package and the MIR report then personally I don't see why we shouldn't promote the package. | 04:07 |
| cjwatson | cryptsetup? it's late, but I'd be inclined to take it | 04:08 |
| cjwatson | the relevant feature is partman crypto support, which we've been putting off forever | 04:09 |
| pkern | ogra: Well, it would be a sync from Debian w/o an Ubuntu change. | 04:09 |
| cjwatson | cryptsetup can clearly be promoted without that though, and my inclination would be to shove in partman-crypto ... | 04:09 |

| Hobbsee | ubotu: ping | 04:10 |

| asac | sabdfl: yes ... let me switch context ... | 05:38 |
| siretart | iwj: I'm using it for my home partition | 05:38 |
| asac | sabdfl: i think what i wanted to test was to use wpa_supplicant manually ... e.g. not through wpa_supplicant.conf | 05:39 |
| iwj | sladen: Yes, in some setups. | 05:39 |
| iwj | siretart: Hmm. | 05:39 |
| siretart | iwj: I've been bitten enough with my previous installation been root on lvm | 05:39 |
| soren | I'm packaging a piece of software whose only code file is a python script installed in /usr/bin/.. IIUIC, the python packaging policy only says what to do about modules and extensions and this is neither.. Should I just leave it like this or am I required to modulify it and provide a wrapper script, etc.. ? | 05:39 |
| iwj | siretart: As you say. | 05:39 |
| asac | sabdfl: because thats the way network-manager uses wpa supplicant | 05:39 |
| siretart | iwj: it was just too painfully racy, so that I came to the conclusion that its not worth the efford to do it with ubuntu. sadly :( | 05:39 |
| asac | (and is not doing very much otherwise in wpa case) | 05:40 |
| siretart | iwj: but for home partitions and crypted usb sticks/disks, it's great! | 05:40 |
| iwj | I expect it will substantially bloat your initramfs. You don't have any problems with that then ? | 05:41 |
| sabdfl | asac: that's fine | 05:41 |
| asac | sabdfl: wait a second i will outline the steps, e.g. commands | 05:42 |
| sladen | soren: you can put the python program straight into /usr/bin ; see 'lsb-release' for such an example 'all' python package | 05:42 |
| siretart | well, it will drag in libssl and cryptsetup. I don't see big problems for that, at least not on i386 and amd64 | 05:42 |
| geser | is there some tool to check if the depends of a deb file can be fulfilled from the archive? | 05:42 |
| iwj | siretart: Mmmm. | 05:42 |
| soren | sladen: Wicked. Thanks. | 05:43 |
| siretart | I have to admit that I don't know if a big initramfs size affects silo or palo | 05:43 |
| iwj | ATM it statically links against those but I think that's really bad. | 05:43 |
| iwj | But if I change that then anyone whose /usr needs cryptsetup will lose. | 05:43 |

| sladen | iwj: if you get suitably annoyed by looking at the package, you could probably knock up a better, alternative over the weekend | 05:46 |
| siretart | err, sorry, nothing of that. I mixed it with wpasupplicant | 05:46 |
| iwj | siretart: So how bad do you think it would be if I were to break anyone with /usr as a separate encrypted filesystem. | 05:46 |
| iwj | sladen: I think I'd just have the same the problem as this package is trying to solve. | 05:46 |
| soren | sladen: I'm not entirely sure what the semantics of XS-Python-Version: current is as opposed to XS-Python-Version: all.. | 05:47 |
| iwj | I think I understand now why it was done this way but I don't like it. | 05:47 |
| iwj | From a security support POV static linking is really bad. | 05:47 |
| siretart | iwj: I'd expect it to just work, though we'd need to test it first | 05:47 |
| soren | sladen: If I belive my package will work with whatever is current, that's the same as saying "it should work with all of them", isn't it? | 05:47 |

| === ivoks [n=ivoks@5-51.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| iwj | We're not redesigning anything at this stage, surely ? | 05:48 |
| iwj | I'm hoping to fix this up well enough for it to go in main. | 05:48 |
| siretart | no, not for gutsy. maybe for hardy | 05:48 |
| cjwatson | redesign => not gutsy, I'd have thought | 05:48 |
| iwj | Right. | 05:48 |
| siretart | with 'redesign', I mean cryptsetup <-> udev integration | 05:48 |
| iwj | siretart: So my question is: how many people have (a) separate /usr AND (b) cryptsetup AND (c) encrypted /usr ? | 05:49 |
| siretart | it would involve crafting some kind of 'passphrase cryptsetup agent' | 05:49 |
| iwj | siretart: I don't want to think about that right now :-). | 05:49 |
| === milli [n=milli@nat.ironport.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| siretart | :) | 05:49 |
| cjwatson | soren: XS-Python-Version: current => only include support for whatever the current version is, require trivial rebuild at some point when that changes; XS-Python-Version: all => include support for all currently supported versions | 05:49 |
| soren | iwj: The issue is the same with an encrypted root filesystem, isn't it? | 05:49 |
| iwj | soren: No, because the initramfs tools will automatically pick up all of the needed libraries. | 05:49 |
| ion_ | siretart: Someone should implement libwhat and what-UIs. ;-) | 05:50 |
| siretart | I wouldn't expect many users having seperate crypted /usr. If we encounter it makes problems, we could easily prevent it in the installer | 05:50 |
| siretart | we don't support conversion of filesystems to crypted anyway | 05:50 |
| iwj | soren: (I think. I mean, we ought to test that but I don't anticipate a problem.) | 05:50 |
| cjwatson | soren: that's a summary, but http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy and search for XS-Python-Version | 05:50 |
| soren | iwj: Oh, clever. Why doesn't this work with an encrypted /usr then? At initramfs generation time, it's not encrypted, I suspect? | 05:50 |
| iwj | siretart: My worry is that if I just make this binary dynamically linked I will make those machines unbootable if they exist already. | 05:50 |
| iwj | soren: At initramfs generation it's mounted. | 05:50 |
| cjwatson | you could make the initramfs deal with mounting /usr too in that case ;-) | 05:51 |
| === cjwatson runs away | ||
| iwj | cjwatson: That had occurred to me :-). | 05:51 |
| soren | iwj: Yes, that's what I meant. | 05:51 |
| siretart | iwj: there are already feisty users which managed to boot with crypted root without too much trouble, according to malone | 05:51 |
| ogra | encrypted /usr ? :) | 05:51 |
| iwj | siretart: No, no, listen to me very carefully. | 05:51 |
| siretart | iwj: TBH, I don't really see the point of an crypted /usr | 05:51 |
| iwj | The problem I plan to create is ONLY if /usr is separate AND it is encrypted. | 05:51 |
| sladen | iwj: ignore the /usr issue. think the encrypted / issue through | 05:51 |
| iwj | If it's part of an encrypted /, it should be fine. | 05:52 |
| iwj | sladen: Right. | 05:52 |
| iwj | Good. | 05:52 |
| soren | iwj: So.. When it's mounted, the initramfs tools will grab the libs and put them into the initramfs ? | 05:52 |
| iwj | That's what I was hoping to hear. | 05:52 |
| iwj | soren: Right. | 05:52 |
| siretart | ah, right | 05:52 |
| soren | iwj: And how do you intend to break this? :) | 05:52 |
| iwj | soren: I don't. | 05:52 |
| sladen | iwj: how did you mount it ?... | 05:52 |
| soren | sladen: magic | 05:52 |
| sladen | chicken. egg. | 05:52 |
| iwj | sladen: Well, if it was encrypted / then all is well because the last initramfs mounted it. | 05:52 |
| asac | sabdfl: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/190473 | 05:52 |
| iwj | If it's separate encrypted /usr then you lose. | 05:52 |
| iwj | ATM that works because cryptsetup is statically linked and doesn't need anything from /usr. | 05:53 |
| === sladen blinks. maybe I missed something | ||
| siretart | cryptsetup is statically linked? not on my machine.. | 05:53 |
| siretart | it doesn't link to anything in /usr, though | 05:53 |
| iwj | siretart: It's partially statically linked. | 05:54 |
| siretart | aah, and that's what you want to change | 05:54 |
| siretart | right? | 05:54 |
| === beuno managed to have the whole encrypted system with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemLVMHowto | ||
| iwj | siretart: Right. | 05:54 |
| siretart | iwj: why? | 05:54 |
| cjwatson | soren: the initramfs tools do that automatically assuming you use copy_exec | 05:54 |
| cjwatson | iwj: (and so you could happily dynamically link the copy in the initramfs) | 05:55 |
| soren | cjwatson: Right, got that. What I'm not getting is why this doesn't work if /usr is encrypted.. | 05:55 |
| iwj | siretart: Because static linking is EBW. In particular, it makes security support a PITA. | 05:55 |
| iwj | cjwatson: Right. | 05:55 |
| cjwatson | soren: because the initramfs isn't responsible for mounting /usr; that's the one in / | 05:55 |
| soren | cjwatson: Ah. | 05:55 |
| cjwatson | iwj: though actually, that would only work if all the library packages triggered an initramfs update | 05:55 |
| soren | Yes, of course. | 05:55 |
| cjwatson | otherwise you would effectively need to upgrade cryptsetup or otherwise trigger update-initramfs anyway | 05:56 |
| iwj | cjwatson: Uh ? The initramfs is generated all in one go. | 05:56 |
| siretart | iwj: I see. well, as said, I don't expect many (of any!) user to just encrypt /usr. And we can prevent them doing so by some magic in the installer(s) | 05:56 |
| iwj | After you get the new cryptsetup, next time mkinitramfs runs it will pick up all of the new libraries. | 05:56 |
| cjwatson | iwj: the security support problem is that if we upload say libgpg-error in a security update then the cryptsetup binary doesn't get updated automatically | 05:56 |
| soren | iwj: How is this more secure than linking it statically? | 05:57 |
| cjwatson | iwj: an upgrade containing only libgpg-error will not automatically run mkinitramfs | 05:57 |
| iwj | siretart: I'm less worried about new installs. After all, "new install with pathological configuration doesn't boot" is a lot less bad than "my existing install doesn't boot". | 05:57 |
| cjwatson | iwj: thus it's essentially the same problem unless libgpg-error triggers an initramfs update | 05:57 |
| iwj | cjwatson: I don't see the problem. The old initramfs is still fine, surely. | 05:57 |
| cjwatson | iwj: it's fine but it still contains the buggy libgpg-error | 05:57 |
| asac | sabdfl: after doing that, you should see in the wpa supplicant shell that it successfully authenticates ... and a message in wpa_cli shell that you successfully associated | 05:58 |
| iwj | soren: If (eg) there's a bug in libgpg-error, we don't want to have to rebuild cryptsetup (and fourteen other packages). | 05:58 |
| cjwatson | the ideal situation is one in which uploading libgpg-error fixes up the initramfs too | 05:58 |
| iwj | cjwatson: OIC. We could issue the security fix for libgpg-error with a call to trigger initramfs generation. | 05:58 |
| siretart | iwj: aah, now I understand what you are worrying about. well, we haven't cared much for this kind of users (installing random packages from universe) in the past | 05:58 |
| soren | iwj: You argued that statically linked binaries were a security problem because we'd need to rebuild them to get security updates. If you still have the borken versions in the initramfs it doesn't help much, does it? | 05:58 |
| cjwatson | my point exactly | 05:58 |
| siretart | I hold network-manager in breezy I think as example | 05:58 |
| cjwatson | but only necessary when cryptsetup is installed | 05:58 |
| cjwatson | so it's a bit messy | 05:59 |
| iwj | cjwatson: if test -f ... yada | 05:59 |
| iwj | Or cryptsetup could do it. | 05:59 |
| asac | sabdfl: for instance i see http://pastebin.mozilla.org/190474 i wpa_cli shell | 05:59 |
| iwj | interest /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so.0 | 05:59 |
| cjwatson | cryptsetup can only do it if it can be triggered by any of its dependent ... what you said | 05:59 |
| iwj | and then on activation say dpkg-trigger update-initramfs :-) | 05:59 |
| iwj | The whole initramfs arrangements are a bit shonky really. | 06:00 |
| soren | iwj: I'm not entirely sure how your new dpkg trigger system works, but would it be possible for copy_exec to make a list of files that should trigger a new initramfs? | 06:00 |
| iwj | soren: No. | 06:00 |
| soren | winkle: ok | 06:00 |
| soren | whoops | 06:00 |
| iwj | Lists of trigger interests are supposed to be static. | 06:00 |
| soren | iwj: ok | 06:00 |
| Chipzz | soren: but that doesn't matter anyway, seriously | 06:01 |
| cjwatson | one could generate a trigger interest list using ldd in cryptsetup's build process | 06:01 |
| sladen | iwj: but the regeneration only needs to happen /if/ something causes libgpg-error to be copied into the initramfs. Is it is the utility causing libgpg to be pulled in that should somehow mark the hook to update-initramfs; whether that's possible with the current hooks, I don't know. | 06:01 |
| soren | Chipzz: Why? | 06:01 |
| cjwatson | it's really just shlibdeps on steroids | 06:01 |
| Chipzz | having an outdated version in the initramfs would require your system to be unbootable to be exploitable | 06:01 |
| Chipzz | because | 06:01 |
| iwj | sladen: There's no machinery for that kind of thing right now. | 06:01 |

| Chipzz | from the moment you pivot_root | 06:01 |
| Chipzz | they're gone | 06:01 |
| iwj | Chipzz: Very good point. | 06:01 |
| cjwatson | assuming that there's no way to nobble the filesystem such that the version in the initramfs will do something crazy | 06:02 |
| Chipzz | so in reality you got bigger problems (like a fscking *broken* system) to worry about than some *hypotethically* exploitable program | 06:02 |
| soren | Chipzz: We don't pivot_root anymore, actually :) | 06:02 |
| iwj | cjwatson: Yes, but our root mounting arrangements are already hopelessly weak against anyone who can introduce block devices with hostile contents. | 06:02 |

| iwj | (Big bug that but no way am I going to try to have that battle against the entire universe.) | 06:03 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: my concern is really more that we end up with mystically broken systems whose bugs go away when you run update-initramfs | 06:03 |
| soren | Chipzz: Yes, but your root file system is still mounted using them. | 06:03 |
| iwj | So I think the conclusion is I can dynamically link this without trouble. | 06:03 |
| cjwatson | due perhaps to bugs that aren't security holes | 06:03 |
| sladen | we should replace UUID with PKI shared UUIDs | 06:03 |
| === mc44 [n=mc44@unaffiliated/mc44] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Chipzz | soren: which does not matter since they can't be invoked by a user anyway | 06:03 |
| iwj | sladen: Yay, openssl in the initramfs. | 06:03 |
| Chipzz | the way they're invoked is very controlled and very limited | 06:04 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: cryptsetup may not suffer much from this but I have real bug reports that are examples of this problem so don't tell me it's not a problem | 06:04 |
| sladen | as at the moment the / UUID is a shared secret that allows a race-condition for taking over boot :) | 06:04 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: there is a difference between "broken" and "exploitable" | 06:04 |
| soren | Chipzz: You're making assumptions about not-yet-discovered vulnerabilites. :) | 06:04 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: I don't care. I'm talking purely about the initramfs updating arrangements which aren't sensitive to that distinction. | 06:04 |
| cjwatson | logically the initramfs should be updated whenever the source of anything copied into it is changed | 06:05 |
| iwj | sladen: Things are much worse if you use lvm. | 06:05 |
| cjwatson | we do not at present have the ability to do that in all cases | 06:05 |
| iwj | cjwatson: I think we need a dynamic trigger interests feature. | 06:05 |
| cjwatson | cryptsetup's linkage stuff is just a special case of that | 06:05 |
| Chipzz | btw | 06:06 |
| cjwatson | iwj: tools to help build the trigger interests at package build time might help | 06:06 |
| Chipzz | statically linking only pulls in the functions which are effectively used | 06:06 |
| iwj | cjwatson: *shudder* but yes. | 06:06 |
| cjwatson | iwj: like I say, shlibdeps ... | 06:06 |
| Chipzz | so part of a lib may be broken/exploitable, and still not affect statically linked programs | 06:06 |
| cjwatson | seems near enough the same thing :) | 06:06 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: care to point me to some bugreports? I'm actually interested in some of these cases ;) | 06:07 |
| soren | Chipzz: "We're probably not vulnerable" is rarely a sensible approach to security. | 06:07 |
| iwj | Chipzz: Also true but of course when the vuln in the lib is found the security guys have to go madly haring round trying to figure out what's vulnerable. | 06:07 |
| Chipzz | not that I have enough knowledge to fix them, just curious | 06:07 |

| cjwatson | unfortunately I forget exactly what broke when I tried to make busybox-initramfs call update-initramfs | 06:08 |
| cjwatson | I think it was something to do with initramfs-tools not necessarily being configured yet since it depends on busybox-initramfs, so it might be able to go away with triggers | 06:08 |
| Chipzz | soren: really, things like cryptsetup would only exercise certain codepaths of broken libs, and I figure in controlled ways | 06:09 |
| Chipzz | and it's hard to replace those binaries with ones that would actually exploit the problem | 06:09 |

| cjwatson | Riddell: do you know whether KDE uses pmi to decide whether to offer suspend/hibernate? | 06:35 |
| Riddell | cjwatson: it uses HAL | 06:36 |
| === Hobbsee finally heads to bed. | ||
| Riddell | although power manager may fall back to some other method if HAL isn't running | 06:36 |
| mjg59 | Riddell: HAL will always claim that suspend and hibernated are supported with our kernels | 06:37 |
| Riddell | mjg59: why? | 06:38 |
| === zasf [n=matteo@host218-54-dynamic.10-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | mjg59: would there be a problem with making it use pmi? | 06:39 |
| mjg59 | Riddell: Because hal just tests whether the kernel provides the functionality, not whether any sort of policy forbids it | 06:39 |
| cjwatson | mjg59: in this crazy loop-mount-from-NTFS case it would be really useful to be able to nobble pmi to say that suspend and hibernate aren't supported | 06:39 |
| mjg59 | cjwatson: Doubt it, but I'm not familiar with the code | 06:40 |
| === mdz_ [n=mdz@fw.pepper.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | I thought policy was allowed in hal | 06:40 |
| === mc44 [n=mc44@unaffiliated/mc44] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | cjwatson: It's allowed, but nothing does it | 06:41 |

| === mruiz [n=mruiz@ubuntu/member/mruiz] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | On boot we could probably check the status with pmi or whatever, and then set the keys in hal | 06:42 |
| === mruiz [n=mruiz@ubuntu/member/mruiz] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Bye!"] | ||
| Riddell | mjg59: so does gnome-power-manager use pmi to check if it's available? | 06:42 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: not any more | 06:42 |
| mjg59 | I've no clue. I really haven't checked this code lately. | 06:42 |
| cjwatson | mjg59: we can't just call it each time it's queried? | 06:42 |

| === mathiaz [n=mathiaz@dsl-207-112-92-37.tor.primus.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | hmm, hal queries something called /usr/bin/pm-is-supported already, which we don't have | 06:49 |
| cjwatson | oh, yes we do, it's in pm-utils in universe | 06:49 |
| cjwatson | hmm. so that looks much better than what we have but it does all kinds of stuff and I don't fancy making the call myself | 06:51 |
| cjwatson | I think I'll just patch hal to ask pmi if pm-is-supported isn't there | 06:51 |
| mjg59 | I was looking at moving over from acpi-support to pm-utils | 06:51 |
| mjg59 | But mdz thought we were too close to FF at the time | 06:51 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 06:51 |
| === atlas95 [n=atlas@84.5.38.248] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ion_ | pm-is-supported seems to give the expected results on my hardware. Would be nice to have HAL query it by default. | 06:52 |
| cjwatson | ion_: it already does. | 06:53 |
| cjwatson | ion_: but we don't install pm-is-supported by default so I'm going to make it use pmi as a fallback, which we do install by default. | 06:53 |
| cjwatson | (for now) | 06:53 |
| ion_ | I meant having HAL query it by default in the default installation, that is having it installed alongside HAL by default. :-) | 06:53 |
| ion_ | Alright | 06:53 |
| mjg59 | ion_: We can't. | 06:53 |

| cjwatson | mjg59: aside from being obvious clone-and-hack, does http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/90_pmi.patch look vaguely reasonable? | 07:10 |
| cjwatson | I haven't tried it yet ... | 07:10 |
| mjg59 | cjwatson: Yeah, looks basically sane | 07:13 |
| ion_ | Interestingly, pmi says my hardware supports suspend and hibernate, pm-utils say it only supports hibernate. Suspend doesnt work on my computer, but i havent investigated the reason it might simply be the nvidia proprietary driver. | 07:13 |
| cjwatson | I'll leave a changelog note saying it can go away once pm-utils is in place | 07:13 |
| mjg59 | Should bcm43xx-fwcutter be promoted? | 07:14 |
| mjg59 | Given that restricted-manager bails with a weird error otherwise | 07:15 |
| cjwatson | it's kind of crazy and relies on URLs which keeps changing | 07:15 |
| cjwatson | s/s / / | 07:15 |
| cjwatson | but nothing else provides the same functionality | 07:15 |
| mjg59 | cjwatson: In that case, it might be better to leave it out of r-m? | 07:15 |
| calc | could it request a url which redirects to the current one? | 07:15 |
| mjg59 | calc: Awkward copyright issues | 07:16 |
| cjwatson | I think (a) it probably ought to be promoted to restricted (b) r-m should cope with it being absent | 07:16 |

| calc | mjg59: hmm then download a file that it parses which contains the current url to the files, that would get around the linking issue (maybe?) | 07:16 |

| zasf | so r-m could be smart enough to read that dir | 07:40 |
| zasf | find out wich repo is needed and prompt "why don't you open 'software sources' and enable XX repo"? | 07:41 |

| ion_ | Is it just me, or has it already been removed from the archive? | 10:07 |

| Mithrandir | can you look in your mailcap file and see if there's anything referencing it? | 10:10 |
| Mithrandir | even on my desktop, it just opens it in a text editor. | 10:19 |
| Mithrandir | that's hardly useful. :-P | 10:19 |
| ion_ | mithrandir: Ah, xdg-open uses open_xfce(), which calls exo-open, which DTRT with .desktop files. | 10:21 |
| ion_ | mithrandir: If youre running gnome, it does something else. | 10:21 |
| Mithrandir | ah, ok. | 10:22 |
| Mithrandir | so there might not be any utility which DTRT with .desktop files | 10:22 |
| ogra | Mithrandir, proably in the xdg-utils package | 10:23 |
| ion_ | mvo: I noticed a way to detect an Xfce environment from xdg-opens code: xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE | grep ' = "xfce4"$' >/dev/null 2>&1 | 10:25 |
| ion_ | mvo: Perhaps thats helpful with the compiz launcher. | 10:25 |
| ion_ | They could just use xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE | grep -q ' = "xfce4"$' though :-) | 10:26 |
