TomaszDHi. I'm looking for Michael Vogt or someone responsible for displayconfig-gtk12:47
TomaszDI was wondering why isn't a translation template available for this application12:47
Kmostalk to mvo12:47
TomaszDmvo, if you are responsible for displayconfig-gtk, why isn't there a translation template available?12:48
TomaszDis a translation still considered a moving target?12:48
mvoTomaszD: let me have a look12:49
TomaszDmvo, sure. It's just that it stands out terribly among other, translated modules in the menu12:49
TomaszDand it's an essential part of the system now, so it should be available for translation, I guess12:50

mvoit looks like some missing magic in the debian/rules file12:56

TomaszDglatzor_, hey I noticed you're also responsible for displayconfig-gtk. I told mvo yesterday that there's no translation template in rosetta available and he said he'll fix it but nothing changed in Rosetta, so I'm thinking that maybe he forgot and you could do this, there seems to be some missing debian/rules magic missing. The webpage is https://translations.launchpad.net/displayconfig-gtk/12:25

ograoh, ok02:59
cjwatsonI'm prepared to bet large sums of money it's not debconf's fault02:59
ograsurely my fault :)03:00
cjwatsonI'm on the phone but I see one problem03:00
cjwatsonwill let you know in a bit03:00
JanDM_hi, since alsa 1.0.14 I had a problem with my sound card. So I asked on alsa-devel, and they created a patch,03:00
JanDM_but this patch is not included in ubuntus current alsa version03:00
JanDM_so i have to compile alsa myself with every kernel update,03:00
JanDM_can I ask to include it somewhere?03:01
ograJanDM_, i guess best is to discuss that in #ubuntu-kernel03:02
JanDM_okay, thank you!03:02

JanDM_ogra: yes it's a kernel module03:03
ograthen -kernel should be right03:03
cjwatsonogra: ok, your problem is probably that 'cat $FIFO | while read line' uses stdio, which is getting in the way of using debconf03:03
ograoh, ok03:03
cjwatsonogra: I encountered this same problem in the past in archive-copier03:03
cjwatsonogra: what you should do instead is:03:04

cjwatsonogra: that's irrelevant to debconf03:49

cjwatsonfrom the code you showed me earlier, it would in fact be unable to tell whether ltsp-build-client is chrooting itself or not03:51

cjwatsonyou can't run ltsp-build-client in the background and simultaneously talk to debconf from somewhere else03:55
ograhmm03:55
cjwatsonltsp-build-client needs to handle the debconf interaction itself, and it probably needs to use in-target to chroot03:55
cjwatsonwhich will deal with the debconf passthrough gubbins you need03:55

=== ogra looks through them
cjwatsonthat's probably not the right approach03:56
cjwatsonpick apart in-target and do its chroot setup stuff at the top level if you're being called in a context with a debconf frontend already running03:56
ograok03:57
=== ogra goes to dig
mjg59http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download - the language on the second option "64 bit AMD and Intel computers" seems potentially confusing03:57
cjwatsonand, on the same condition, have ltsp-build-client source the confmodule and do the progress output itself03:57

mathiazogra: and also why not use wwwconfig-common ?07:38
ografirst of all he didnt want it ust for moodle in main07:38
ograsecond he didnt want to *just replace* a security broken system with one thats only slightly better (in his opinion)07:38
mathiazogra: you're talking about dbcommon-config or wwwconfig-common ?07:39
ograthe clear advice he made was to replace wwwconfig-common with plain scripts for mysql and postgres creation07:39
ogramathiaz, both07:39
mathiazogra: ok. Thanks for the clarification.07:40
ograwwwconfig-common was refised by the security team07:40

ogradbconfig-common would only replace it ... have a slightly better security but wouldnt really gain anything07:40
ograbut we'd still have that extra dep07:40
mathiazogra: ok. But it seems that there is a need for a common way to handle database setup.07:41

ogramathiaz, i wanted it in main for breezy :P ... indeed i do :)07:43

ogramoquist, apache2 as a conf.d dir afaik07:53
ogra*has07:53
ograas well as sites-available and mods-available ...07:54
ogramoquist, so we should be able to just drop moddle configs in there and use the native apache tools to enable them07:54
ogramoquist, i dont really care about old apache ... and ssl in the 2 version shouldt behave differently to the non ssl variant, its just some config change07:55
moquistogra: I hadn't checked until now, but the package is already using apache2/conf.d correctly. I believe the preinst script is just trying to clean up from older versions of the package (of apache?) that didn't use a conf.d directory [correctly] .07:57
ogramoquist, for point 2 just dont ask for these values if you dont need them :)07:57
ograah, k07:57
ograi think we can ignore apache1 ...07:57
moquistogra: Right, which is what I figured, except that if they want postgres running somewhere other than localhost then we need to know so we can bail. Or maybe we just don't ask, and the package assumes localhost for postgres. ?07:57
ograhave a question for it ("you run postgres, by default we do that locally, do you want a different setup")07:58

iwjOh, good.08:06
iwjI'm not trying to make life difficult, obviously.08:06
iwjIn fact, that's almost precisely it.  The point of the report isn't just a hoop to jump through, it's to document the results of the investigation so that we can make a sensible decision, and so on.08:07
ograright :)08:07
iwjIf the formatting of the report is harder than the figuring out what to write in it, then we're doing something wrong.08:08
ograwe should even have deeper discussions about the apps we include imho ... but thats a matter of time to invest we still lack manpower for imho08:08
iwjI think we'll have to realise that we're constantly going to lack manpower.08:08
ograwell, but compare the clean small main of warty with what we have today :)08:09
iwjI don't think it's a huge problem to have much stuff in main.  Having it installed by default is a different matter.08:10

LaserJockthe problem is that there is a disconnect (sometimes a big one) between what gets uploaded and what actually makes it in09:00
LaserJockit's very harmful for contributors if they get something all the way through REVU09:00
LaserJockit's good packaging and it's all set09:00
_MMA_It's very deterring just to go through the packaging work. Then to have to go through the exception process and it _still_ not get in. That wont keep people contributing.09:00
LaserJockand it doesn't make it in because ubuntu-archive couldn't get to it in time09:01

LaserJockMithrandir: you don't need an extra day09:01
_MMA_Mithrandir: Sure, but if you're the only one shouldering this, things are very wrong.09:01
Mithrandirreally, it's not like -archive is conspiring to not have packages in the archive, it's just that we don't have the time to do so.09:01

LaserJockwe just need to know what will get processed, not *when* it will get processed09:03
LaserJockMithrandir: that has been the MOTU understanding since dapper09:03
MithrandirLaserJock: that has not been discussed with those who actually process packages, nor with the release team.09:04
=== asisak does not want to force anyone anything. We should define our processes in a way where developers / MOTUs can see what a deadline exactly means.
MithrandirLaserJock: hence, send a list from a member of motu-uvf granting an exception for the packages that should go in.09:04
Mithrandirthere's still no magic in them being accepted, but they might be processed then.09:04
Mithrandir_MMA_: if you think that I should resign from the release and archive teams, I could do that, sure.  I don't think that'd make more packages get through.09:04
_MMA_LaserJock: But shouldn't "what" be determined by a date? Since getting involved I was under the impression that what the freeze dates were for. (looks like you were as well)09:04
LaserJockMithrandir: which packages need exceptions then?09:05
_MMA_Mithrandir: You're taking this personally. There's no need.09:05

bddebianI still think it would be ideal if we could have a Universe archive admin but I don't know if that is feasible given the resources09:06
MithrandirLaserJock: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/queue/gutsy/new/ is the current NEW queue.09:06
_MMA_I made no specific suggestions. My only one would to be that we take on less and have specific jobs that we can complete as expected.09:07

LaserJockwe gotta figure something out here09:10
_MMA_lol. Great.09:10
LaserJockthere is a package from the 7th in there09:10
sistpotyMithrandir: imo using exceptions to get a fixed date for new packages freeze is a workaround of the policy. Hence we should fix the policy instead.09:11
Mithrandirif you want to grant a blanket exception, find out what's from before the freeze and mail that list to -archive.09:11
Mithrandirit really doesn't seem that hard to me.09:11
sistpotyif it's only about getting that list, let's make that policy that motu-uvf could take care of, what do you think?09:12

Chipzzbhale: I was not suggesting that at all; quite the contrary10:08
Chipzzbhale: pls read what I said10:09
sistpotybhale: why not (if no access to the DC were needed)?10:09
Chipzz22:06 < Chipzz> seb128: but who's to say that throwing more resources (ie people) at it actually solves the fundamental problem? 22:07 < Chipzz> seb128: saying that as ubuntu grows, the new queue may grow bigger and you'll need to add more people again10:09
bhalesistpoty: oh, I am thinking of the bad old days. you are correct.10:09
mjg59Chipzz: If the queue gets impractical for the current team to handle, then the order of processing will make no difference.10:09
sistpotybhale: well, we're not there yet ;)10:09
seb128Chipzz: ?10:09
seb128Chipzz: there is also ton of bugs without a reply10:10
seb128sure we could do with extra contributors10:10
Chipzzwhat I was implying is rather than adding more people you may also need to impose some rules on how what gets processed10:10
seb128the things is that volunteer decide by themself what they want to do10:10
mjg59Chipzz: No, that doesn't help.10:10
pkernWhat's the policy for syncing new Debian revisions (for both main and universe, and taking the current point in time into account)?10:10
seb128that's not up to us to pick somebody and assign him tasks10:10
Kmospkern: man requestsync10:11
Chipzzpkern: make sure there is a valid reason other than "It's new"?10:11
seb128Chipzz: "stop processing things blocking people or which are goals and process random games nobody cares first because they are waiting longer"?10:11
Chipzz;)10:11
Davieyseb128: That's quite extreme.. that's not what Chipzz means10:11
seb128Daviey: well, either you force a "first uploaded, first processed" rule which means that10:12
seb128or you let people act in function of what think should have the priority10:12
seb128which is what we do now10:12
Chipzzseb128: what I was proposing was something in between actually ;)10:13
seb128Chipzz: how would you define it then?10:13
DavieyBut the bottom line is that the team shouldn't be that stretched that they need to prioritise10:13
seb128Daviey: well, and we should not have bugs without a reply10:13
Davieyv. true10:13
seb128Daviey: the issue is that we have too much to do for the number of people we have10:14
DavieySome go back to 2005!10:14
LaserJockDaviey: we'll always be stretched10:14
seb128and that's not something a rule will make better10:14
Chipzzseb128: a hard limit on how long something should be in the queue10:14
seb128Chipzz: how long would be the limit?10:14
Davieythen it gets dumped if it goes past the hard limit :)10:14

pkernKmos: Thanks. This means that I need to wait for the next Debian mirror pulse at the earliest.10:15
ScottKNo, they aren't.10:15
Chipzzseb128: say, package n (not-important) is uploaded one week ago, and the (for the sake of argument, here arbitrary chosen) limit is 2 weeks, and you package i (important) which is uploaded now10:16
seb128what hints?10:16
EvanCarrollI hope the fonts get a comlete overhaul before gutsy is released. Merge FB puts my DBI at 110,65, dropping all my default font sizes down to 6, still leaves them entirely too big for my liking.10:16
seb128IRC != mail10:16
EvanCarrollDPI*10:16
pkernKmos: And I don't have my GPG key available on my gutsy QEMU image.10:16
seb128I don't get those mails yet10:16
joejaxxScottK: yeah it is quite unfortunate10:16
Kmospkern: that's bad :)10:16
Chipzzpackage i gets precedence because it's important and there are no non-important packages in the queue older than the limit (2 weeks)10:16
seb128Chipzz: we have freezes going on a week for tribe, I don't think 2 weeks is a reasonable delay10:16
seb128it means people have to process everything in the week after the freeze10:17
pkernKmos: Actually the packages I want to sync are currently transitioning from universe to main but I just added missing translations to the Debian packages. (One-line change.)10:17
Chipzzseb128: like I said, 2 weeks is arbitrarily chosen and meant just to be an example. work with me here10:17
Kmospkern: ask in #ubuntu-motu about that10:17
=== ScottK wonders if Canonical offered expedited NEW processing as a paid service, people would put their money where their mouth is....
pkernKmos: So even if I get a component mismatch currently motu is still my point of contact? Fine.10:17
DavieyScottK: naa10:17
Chipzzscenario b: package n (non-imp) is in the queue for 3 weeks and thus exceeds the limit. even though package i is important, package n gets precedence to prevent starvation10:18
seb128ScottK: I think 3 weeks is already a long delay for things in NEW this cycle10:18
seb128almost every is processed before that10:18
seb128I don't think have to wait 10 days is that of an issue10:18
seb128most of the time we process new uploads in the week10:18
ScottKNEW has been much better this time than in Feisty.10:18
ScottKAgreed.10:18
=== ScottK just wished people would quit kvetching and go do something productive.
seb128ScottK: the team got new member, that's going in the good direction10:18
ScottKAbsolutely.10:19
seb128so what is the issue?10:19
sistpotyChipzz: scheduling strategies don't have humans to interact. ;)10:19
Mithrandirwhich has something to do with having three and four archive admins rather than.. just me.10:19
Mithrandir:-P10:19
Chipzzsistpoty :)10:19
snikkerwhy if a "filename.templates" in (in the po folder of a source code) start with a block comment (#), the templates file in the packaged version (build with "debuild -uc -us") is replaced with a blank line?10:19
ScottKWe had a disconnect this time around about what exactly New Package Freeze means.  We've had it before.  We'll muddle through this time like we always do.10:19
Chipzzseb128: also note that scenario b could be proactively prevented10:19
ScottKThe imporant thing is to have a clear/coordinated policy for next time around.10:20
seb128I agree that we need to decide how the freezes applies10:20
Kmossnikker: #ubuntu-motu10:20
seb128if that's the upload of processing which counts10:20
seb128and that will be fixed10:20
seb128I'll raise the issue10:20
seb128anything else that should be discussed in your opinion?10:21
snikkerKmos: i've already asked there, but with not answer...10:21
MithrandirChipzz: seriously, trying to enforce that would a) not work and b) make at least me much more liable to quickly find a reason to reject the unimportant package rather than finding all the problematic bits of it.10:21
Kmossnikker: wait for someone to answer you..10:21
snikkerKmos: ok10:21
ChipzzMithrandir: I was afraid of something like that ;)10:22
ChipzzMithrandir: you could come up with variants of it though10:23
Chipzzsay, if there are n packages exceeding the limit you only have to process one10:23
seb128trying to enforce rules over overworked people doesn't work10:23
seb128you will like just lead them to stop volunteering for the work10:23
=== bddebian breaks out the whips!
Chipzzor have the uploader do part of the work (like with sync requests)10:23
seb128s/like/likely10:24
MithrandirChipzz: really, that's not how it works.  Do you think we should be blocked on upstream replying to concerns about a package and block everything on that?10:24
ChipzzMithrandir: I indeed don't think we should. but what I'm referring to is working on the new queue, not letting as many packages through as possible ;)10:25
Chipzzseb128: likewise the argument was that if new contributors don't get their packages processed in a reasonable amount of time, they will stop volunteering too10:26
_MMA_"seb128: you will like just lead them to stop volunteering for the work" And whats wrong with that? My feeling is if you cant do the job why take it on? There's nothing wrong with that.10:26
mjg59_MMA_: Then nobody does the job. Which is kind of bad.10:27
seb128Chipzz: I think the delay has been reasonable through this cycle and that there is no reason for such a discussion10:27
Chipzzin which case I guess it boils down to: well, I guess a MOTU volunteer is more dispensable than an archive admin...10:27
seb128as said we had 3 packages in NEW for 3 weeks10:27
seb128everything else is 2 weeks or newer10:27
seb128and that's probably a busy time in the cycle10:27
_MMA_mjg59: Something close to what's being said now anyway right?10:27
seb128_MMA_: nobody else is going to do it ;)10:28
MithrandirChipzz: it's certainly a tradeoff between spending time on making sure we get new blood and doing other work.10:28
mjg59_MMA_: No.10:28
EvanCarrollright. I think that is the default.10:28
EvanCarrollm/t10:28
seb128_MMA_: you think that no processing NEW is better than having a few weeks of delay, I don't think there is lot to discuss there10:28
Chipzzseb128: but then, I'm just throwing in some idea's on how *possibly* to make it more fair :)10:28
Chipzzseb128: if you think there is no problem, then we (I) should stop this discussion ;)10:29
seb128well, I would like to be proved that is has been an issue this cycle first10:29
_MMA_seb128: You keep focusing on a delay. Thats not the issue _at_all_. Its things making it in before freeze and not being processed.10:29
seb128_MMA_: did you read the chan?10:29
seb128<seb128> if that's the upload of processing which counts10:30
seb128 and that will be fixed10:30

LaserJock_MMA_: seb128 is on to discussing delays with Chipzz  :-)10:30

EvanCarrollI'm not sure how to file a bug report on the gutsy fonts that will help it seems like a few people have a good idea of the problem10:49
EvanCarrollhas something to do with the DBI scaling mechanism of the new X10:49
EvanCarrollI just can't my fonts down to a reasonable size.10:49

EvanCarrollmjg59: they are at 6.10:50
EvanCarrollmjg59: can't go any lower.10:50
mjg59EvanCarroll: No. That gives you the DPI setting.10:50
EvanCarroll15810:50
EvanCarrollthats it i bet10:50
mjg59bryce: He's right, though. The default DPI is horrifically horked.10:50
mjg59Even on single monitor setups.10:51
EvanCarrollthanks a ton, I saw suggestions for this feature and didn't see any note of it being implimented10:51
mjg59My user name doesn't actually fit in the gdm box10:51

EvanCarrollhahahahah10:51
EvanCarrollI've got a better one, my gvim holds 29characters.10:51
EvanCarrollmaximized.10:51
ion_Gnome shouldnt override the DPI value IMO. Instead, we should make X guess it better. For instance, the displayconfig-gtk monitor database could contain their physical sizes and add a DisplaySize setting to the config.10:52
