| zzxc | Are there any plans to implement a binary diff system (eg. debiff) in the apt interface for a future release? | 03:43 |
| === j_ack [n=j_ack@p508D84EC.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| zzxc | For something like that to work with the Ubuntu live cd, the binary diff program would have to patch individual binaries, instead of entire .deb archives, to create the new .deb archive to install. This would require considerable installation effort, and I am not near familiar with apt to do it, but it would make updating Firefox go from a 7MB download to a 200KB download. | 03:48 |
| RAOF | zzxc: Debian have such a system rolled out already, I think. | 03:49 |
| _MMA_ | There's also Conary. | 03:49 |
| RAOF | zzxc: They certainly do for repository information, I'm not sure about actual packages though. | 03:50 |
| zzxc | RAOF: It works with entire .deb archives, though, if I recall correctly. | 03:50 |
| zzxc | Yes, repository information is of course synced intelligently, but package syncing is much harder - especially if no .deb files are on the system to begin with. | 03:50 |
| johanbr | For the mirrors, processing power is often more scarce a resource than bandwidth. | 03:51 |
| RAOF | There's also at least one project to make apt use zsync, a server-processor-friendly version of rsync. | 03:51 |
| zzxc | The processing would be done only once; the servers would simply store a binary diff from the last version of the package. | 03:52 |
| johanbr | And how would that work if your own version is not the latest one? | 03:52 |
| zzxc | Then you would need an entire download. | 03:52 |
| zzxc | Alternatively, the versions could be installed one-at-a-time until the latest version is achieved. | 03:53 |
| johanbr | I'm not sure that going from version N to version N+1 is the most common case for updates. | 03:53 |
| zzxc | Right now, it's not the most common case. But for security, it should be. | 03:53 |
| zzxc | Existing .deb diff software would have to be reworked for this to happen. For example, the binary diff might be a modified .deb file. Instead of containing entire binaries, it would contain binary diffs from the last version. Apt would then have to be modified to require the previous package to be installed, and to properly apply the binary diffs. If an error occured during package extraction (for example, one of the files that needs | 03:57 |

| === Knightlust [n=dax@ubuntu/member/knightlust] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| zzxc | RAOF: Actually, it seems that it requires the package file be on the remote system - which is not the case for most end-users. | 04:07 |

| Nafallo | hmm. | 04:12 |
| Nafallo | I seeded 547GB for the beta. that should be enough damnit :-) | 04:12 |
| zzxc | I think I might try to investigate the feasibility of a "partial .deb file", and post something to one of the debian mailing lists. It would be trivial to have a folder on each mirror called "partial" to host partial packages. This is how Mozilla does it. | 04:12 |
| === fen_ [n=fen@84.179.233.220.exetel.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| zzxc | It's definately a turn-off to a user with a slow connection to realize that 100MB of updates required for security. | 04:14 |
| desrt | zzxc; best bet, i think, is to have some sort of [something] that modifies the user's system in-place | 04:14 |
| desrt | zzxc; including performing the actual changes and modifying the dpkg state to pretend that the new version has been installed | 04:14 |
| zzxc | desrt: That would seem to be risky, to 'pretend' to install packages while avoiding apt entirely. | 04:15 |
| desrt | zzxc; in many cases all you'd be doing is bumping the version number of the installed package | 04:16 |
| desrt | since when security updates occur you have to install all of the binary packages from that given source package and probably only one of them has actually changed | 04:16 |
| zzxc | desrt: Implementing something like that would seem to be 'reinventing the wheel' with Apt. In addition, it would have to stay up-to-date with the current apt version to avoid major problems. | 04:17 |
| desrt | it's actually completely orthogonal to apt | 04:18 |
| zzxc | I suppose for security updates, where the only change is changes to existing binaries, such a solution would work. | 04:18 |
| desrt | if you wanted to get really fancy you could do all sorts of neat binary-patching techniques | 04:18 |
| zzxc | desrt: It would seem to be difficult, however, to have a general tool that would generate these "update instructions" from deb files in the general case. | 04:20 |
| desrt | this is the fun part :D | 04:20 |
| desrt | seriously, though: why not just extract the two debs and run diff? | 04:21 |
| zzxc | Tools for that exist. However, the old version's .deb doesn't exist on the remote computer. | 04:21 |
| desrt | who the hell is david portwood? | 04:21 |
| desrt | i report a problem with the livecd and my bug gets "New => Invalid" with "Compiz package is not from the official Ubuntu repositories, and as such is not supported here." | 04:22 |
| desrt | have i missed something? | 04:23 |
| zzxc | A 'partial .deb', on the other hand, would be able to be extracted into a 'full .deb' using existing binaries (such as soffice.bin) on the remote machine. | 04:23 |
| zzxc | Thus, OOo 2.3.0->2.3.0.1 might be 5MB instead of 100MB. | 04:24 |
| Burgundavia | zzxc: are you talking about binary diffs? | 04:25 |
| Burgundavia | google deb binary diffs | 04:25 |
| zzxc | Burgundavia: Sort of. I'm talking about a partial deb that *contains* binary diffs being used to update software on a computer in which no existing .deb to patch exists. | 04:30 |

| mneptok | as well as my full head latex Bruce Schneier mask | 04:38 |
| realist | zzxc: you can rebuild the .deb from already installed packages, then binary patching that package, you mean? | 04:38 |
| realist | zzxc: where the archive cache has been previously cleaned? | 04:39 |
| zzxc | With live cd installs, there never is an archive cache. | 04:40 |
| realist | I hadn't noticed that, strange. | 04:41 |
| zzxc | Such a technique would probably not try to rebuild the existing .deb archive. Rather, it would download a new .deb archive from a mirror that would contain binary diffs instead of entire binaries. New binaries would be in the .deb file in their entirety, and files that may be edited (such as configuration files) would not be diff'ed either. | 04:43 |
| === stub [n=stub@ppp-58.8.2.199.revip2.asianet.co.th] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| zzxc | Some program would then convert the binary diffs inside the .deb file into full binaries, by patching binaries on the user's system. The user would then have a full .deb file that could be normally installed as normal. | 04:44 |
| realist | I see, so download binary patches as a .deb, then patch existing installed binaries, _then_ build the new .deb? | 04:47 |

| realist | zzxc: by storing checksums of the package, rather than diffs between releases | 05:33 |
| zzxc | I'm not sure what you mean. | 05:33 |
| zzxc | To compute the diff, the computer would need access to both the old and new versions. Thus, the client computer would be unable to do it. | 05:34 |
| zzxc | Storing and pushing binary diffs stored as "partial .deb files", as I described earlier, could be done with the exsting mirrors. There would just be two .deb files for each update, rather than one. | 05:35 |
| realist | You would need to rsync/zsync the blocks with different checksums | 05:38 |
| realist | So it's not so much patching, as syncing, the packages | 05:38 |
| realist | If the original .deb doesn't exist, you could regenerate it from the installed binaries | 05:39 |
| minghua | realist: Generally speaking you aren't guaranteed to reconstruct a .deb from installed binaries. | 05:40 |
| realist | minghua: you could just sync the binaries listed in the package meta-data then | 05:42 |
| minghua | realist: True. I was not arguing against your "rsync-like update" idea, just pointing out some inaccuracy in your statement. | 05:44 |

| Treenaks | ajmitch: tip of the day: don't run apt-get -y dist-upgrade | 07:53 |
| pwnguin | heh | 07:53 |
| Treenaks | it tried to deinstall perl.. and everything depending on it | 07:53 |
| ajmitch | oh, noone would be silly enough to do that | 07:53 |
| pwnguin | yes | 07:53 |
| Treenaks | which is pretty much everything | 07:53 |
| LaserJock | yeah, it seems like perl is important for some reason | 07:54 |
| pwnguin | perl seems to have broken most of the buildqueues as well | 07:54 |
| ajmitch | can we punt perl to universe? | 07:54 |

| ogra | lol | 08:10 |
| calc | heh it installed fine for me :) | 08:10 |
| calc | wrt apt-get issue apt-get upgrade works fine for me but apt-get dist-upgrade complains of installed packages not being installed and that they won't be installed since obviously they already are | 08:11 |
| frostburn | mines complaining about perl and a dep that isn't in the repo | 08:11 |
| calc | frostburn: hmm shouldn't that just cause it to hold perl? | 08:12 |
| calc | apt-get upgrade held several packages on my system | 08:12 |
| calc | The following packages have been kept back: gnome-cards-data gnome-games-data libperl5.8 perl perl-base tracker tracker-search-tool | 08:12 |

| frostburn | you can install the rest of them | 08:13 |
| frostburn | individually | 08:13 |
| frostburn | except perl stuff | 08:13 |
| calc | ok | 08:13 |
| calc | i guess dselect upgrade calls the same code as apt-get dist-upgrade because it doesn't work either with the same output | 08:14 |

| calc | idle 10hr, he'll be back soon maybe ;) | 08:21 |
| slangasek | why do you suppose it's a bug in apt, rather than simply a normal side-effect of uninstallable packages in the archive? | 08:21 |
| calc | slangasek: er shouldn't it tell us what is uninstallable then? | 08:21 |
| slangasek | never has before | 08:22 |
| frostburn | apt is fine | 08:22 |
| calc | slangasek: i thought it used to complain about the packages that were actually uninstallable | 08:22 |
| slangasek | you only get told about which packages are uninstallable if you request packages to be installed by name | 08:22 |
| calc | so it is normal for apt to complain about packages that are perfectly fine and installed when it can't install some other random package, and not mention that package at all? | 08:23 |
| calc | i haven't had dselect->upgrade break me in so long i can't remember the last time it did | 08:23 |

| Kstrings | Does anyone know why aptitude thinks you need to update packages compiled from source (pbuilder) when they are the same version? | 10:01 |
| Hobbsee | sounds like a #ubuntu+1 type question | 10:03 |
| Hobbsee | but, it's because you probably compiled the same version as what's in the repos - and iirc, it will usually try to use the repo version, not your own. | 10:04 |
| Hobbsee | due to apt priorities | 10:04 |
| Treenaks | it will | 10:04 |
| Treenaks | but I usually fix that either by setting the package status to 'hold', or setting the version a bit higher (but not as high as an update would set it) | 10:05 |
| ajmitch | which is where ~ in versions comes in handy | 10:06 |

| Whoopie | mjg59: I added a -x and -y command line parameter to suspend.c and resume.c | 12:19 |
| Whoopie | and these values are read from /etc/usplash.conf in /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh | 12:19 |

| mjg59 | Whoopie: Ah, ok. And the swap device is auto-chosen? | 12:21 |
| Whoopie | mjg59: it's in /etc/uswsusp.conf. And this was added during install. debconf?? | 12:21 |
| mjg59 | Hm. Not entirely ideal, but fair enough. | 12:22 |
| mjg59 | Ok, I'll try to upload that later | 12:22 |
| bluekuja | mjg59: I was following Whoopie on it, if that patch is ok, I can move to upload that | 12:22 |
| bluekuja | mjg59: just wanted to hear your opinion about it | 12:23 |
| Whoopie | mjg59: problem for me is that it hangs on resume. It doesn't switch back to X, but the laptop is still responsive so that I can poweroff it by pressing the power button. | 12:23 |
| Whoopie | really don't know if it's usplash or my laptop. | 12:23 |

| Hobbsee | hiya keescook! | 06:45 |
| keescook | hi! | 06:45 |
| keescook | thanks for the kdebase upload. There are a few more CVE fixes still to go into it, though. Got any time for that? | 06:45 |
| Hobbsee | keescook: for main packages? | 06:46 |
| keescook | yup. konqueror. | 06:46 |
| Hobbsee | urgle. | 06:46 |
| keescook | let me find the bug # | 06:46 |
| Hobbsee | keescook: btw, do you know if that csh shell thing was correct? i saw you un-securified it | 06:47 |
| keescook | hurm? where? | 06:47 |
| Hobbsee | i'ts in kdebase buglist | 06:47 |
| keescook | checking | 06:48 |
| keescook | afaik, the xsession is running as the user (not root), so if csh blows up, it is certainly a bug, but not a security issue. | 06:49 |
| keescook | (137946) | 06:49 |
| Hobbsee | keescook: i'm more wondering fi the fix is correct | 06:50 |
| keescook | Hobbsee: hmm, yeah, it looks okay. It feels like there would be a cleaner way to handle it though. | 06:52 |
| Hobbsee | keescook: right | 06:53 |
| keescook | I'd almost be tempted to try things like $SHELL -c "(if (-f /etc/csh.login) source /etc/csh.login; if (-f ~/.login) source ~/.login) >/dev/null; /bin/sh -c export" > $xsess_tmp | 06:54 |

| ion_ | jamiemcc: Btw, is it intentional that tracker returns zero results until everything has been indexed? Id rather already get results for the already indexed entries, with perhaps a warning that the initial indexing is still going on. | 07:10 |
| === kagou [n=kagou@156.60.98-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jamiemcc | ion_: 0.6.3 caches more in RAM so search results may not be avilable til its finished - we will amend the UI to warn about that | 07:19 |
| ion_ | jamiemcc: file-meta.db already contains some of the files im testing with, but tracker-search doesnt return any results for them. | 07:21 |
| jamiemcc | ion_ index is stored in file-index.db | 07:22 |
| ion_ | jamiemcc: Ah, ok. It doesnt contain any data about files. Couldnt it be updated every once in a while *during* the indexing? | 07:23 |
| jamiemcc | ion_: it is when 16mb cache is full - it flushes to index | 07:23 |
| ion_ | jamiemcc: Would it perhaps be better to mmap files and let the kernel do all the RAM caching and flushing? | 07:25 |
| === lamego [n=lamego@81.84.194.98] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jamiemcc | ion_ no can do - mmap is not supported in qdbm or sqlite | 07:25 |

| jamiemcc | ion_: mmap does not work on fuse as well | 07:25 |
| ion_ | I see. | 07:26 |
| jamiemcc | ion_: also mmap takes memeory away from disk cache | 07:26 |
| jamiemcc | if you have 1gb index it would eat 1g ram from disk cacje | 07:26 |
| lamont | pool/universe/o/openoffice.org-l10n/openoffice.org-help-km_2.3.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb | 07:27 |
| lamont | do we not love Comoros then? | 07:27 |
| ion_ | The whole mmapped area is kept in RAM? If that is the case, id say the kernels implementation is faulty. Id expect the kernel to flush pages that have been unused for a while to the disk and free the memory when RAM is needed for something else. | 07:28 |
| lamont | pool/universe/o/openoffice.org-l10n/openoffice.org-l10n-uz_2.3.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb | 07:28 |
| lamont | and lets not forget Uzbekistan | 07:28 |
| ion_ | Of course, i could be missing something important. :-) | 07:28 |
| jamiemcc | ion_ it gets flushed when memory is low or you call unmap | 07:29 |
| ion_ | So, someone should implement a way to tell the kernel in this mmapped file, pages that have been unused for a while are not as important as disk cache? :-) | 07:32 |
| jamiemcc | ion_: dunno - mmap is used for either sharing memory pages or agressive read pages into ram | 07:33 |

| jamiemcc | its not in beta | 07:34 |
| jamiemcc | its post beta | 07:34 |
| desrt | well.. right... updated as of last night :p | 07:34 |
| desrt | i was downloading and tracker was doing its think on the downloading file | 07:35 |
| desrt | and every time vim went to save its .swp file the editor would hang for a good 10 seconds | 07:35 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: that sounds like o.6.2 version | 07:35 |
| desrt | when the update comes i'll try again | 07:36 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: what file were you downloading? | 07:36 |
| desrt | openoffice | 07:36 |
| desrt | it's a biggie :) | 07:36 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: I will try and replicate to be sure | 07:36 |
| desrt | it may interest you that i'm not running ubuntu kernels these days | 07:36 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: lol | 07:36 |
| === desrt is trying his hand as a l33t kernel hacker and upstream likes their patches to apply cleanly :p | ||
| jamiemcc | desrt: anyway latest tracker 0.6.3 updates in chunks with intermittent fsync to prevent disk hogging for more than a sec or two | 07:39 |
| desrt | why do you call fsync()? | 07:40 |
| jamiemcc | cause pdflush will hog disk if I dont | 07:40 |
| desrt | it must be fun to fight the kernel's cleverness | 07:40 |
| desrt | why is it that the kernel is (more or less) ok with every other workload on earth but things like beagle and tracker always bring it to its knees? | 07:41 |
| jamiemcc | pdflush! | 07:41 |
| jamiemcc | its a high priority kernel thread | 07:42 |
| jamiemcc | and can starve other apps of disk | 07:42 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: its really bad on ext3 causeits write performance is terrible | 07:42 |
| === Vorbote [n=buckaroo@unaffiliated/vorbote] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| desrt | i'd expect that a download does more disk writing than tracker should during a download | 07:43 |
| desrt | and yet doing two downloads doesn't wedge my system | 07:43 |
| jamiemcc | tracker does seek read seek write for each word | 07:43 |
| desrt | what do you mean "word"? | 07:43 |
| jamiemcc | an indexed word | 07:44 |
| mjg59 | jamiemcc: The write depends on the read? | 07:44 |
| jamiemcc | mjg59: of course its a has - you have to read where to write it | 07:44 |
| mjg59 | Yeah. There's no way the kernel can reorder that, then. | 07:44 |
| desrt | not true | 07:45 |
| desrt | you could read a bunch of offsets in one go | 07:45 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: right | 07:45 |
| desrt | so you're only consulting the index once | 07:45 |
| jamiemcc | the reads should all be cache hits | 07:45 |
| jamiemcc | if index is small | 07:45 |
| desrt | fair enough | 07:45 |
| mjg59 | jamiemcc: Yeah. | 07:45 |

| desrt | unless the index is being continuously pushed out by the insane amount of writing | 07:45 |
| mjg59 | With a small index file, it's fine (and I guess the index merging fixes this to a large extent) | 07:46 |
| jamiemcc | with 30mb index is slows to crawl which means i suspect kernel | 07:46 |
| jamiemcc | mjg59: yes index merging eliminates it untuil merge process | 07:46 |
| desrt | jamiemcc; i have a suggestion | 07:46 |
| jamiemcc | shoot | 07:46 |
| desrt | jamiemcc; write a root-run helper program that opens the user's index and locks it into memory | 07:46 |
| desrt | see if it impacts performance | 07:46 |
| desrt | just as a test | 07:47 |
| jamiemcc | how? | 07:47 |
| desrt | mmap() the entire file | 07:47 |
| desrt | and then run mlock() on that address you get | 07:47 |
| jamiemcc | qdbm does not use mmap though | 07:47 |
| desrt | doesn't matter. this will keep it in the kernel's page cache | 07:47 |
| desrt | make sure you do a shared mapping | 07:47 |
| jamiemcc | ok will it be able to write it? | 07:47 |
| desrt | yes | 07:47 |
| Nafallo | hmm | 07:48 |
| jamiemcc | I will have to do that with 0.6.2 version | 07:48 |
| desrt | i guess it either writes with pwrite() or lseek()/write()? | 07:48 |

| Nafallo | my brightness changed by itself... | 07:48 |
| jamiemcc | lseek/write i think | 07:48 |
| desrt | this is just a cute little test utility | 07:48 |
| desrt | it's a 10-liner in C | 07:48 |
| jamiemcc | yeah | 07:48 |
| desrt | where is the tracker index, btw? i wonder how big mine is. | 07:49 |
| jamiemcc | home/.cache/tracker/ index* | 07:49 |
| jamiemcc | meta is the metadata | 07:49 |

| jamiemcc | you dont use evolution then | 07:50 |
| desrt | file-content is 54M, file-index 73MB, file-index-journal 15M, file-meta 19M | 07:50 |
| desrt | i do use evo | 07:50 |
| desrt | just with imap | 07:50 |
| jamiemcc | thats 0.6.2 version! | 07:50 |
| jamiemcc | in 0.6.3 its file-contents.db | 07:50 |
| desrt | i probably just didn't turn it back on after i upgraded :p | 07:51 |
| jamiemcc | yes - it will auto reindex when you do | 07:51 |
| jamiemcc | 0.6.2 really sux! | 07:51 |
| desrt | totally awesome that you shipped it with the beta :p | 07:51 |
| mjg59 | desrt: Released after beta freeze | 07:52 |
| jamiemcc | well i had 0.6.3 ready on monday | 07:52 |
| jamiemcc | but they waitied til now | 07:52 |
| desrt | nod. | 07:52 |
| ion_ | jamiemcc: Btw, are there plans to have a local tracker process indexing shared directories on a networked drive and having clients trackerds proxy queries to it over the network? | 07:52 |
| jamiemcc | 0.6.3 indexes 250mb of linux source in 8 minutes and no slow downs | 07:52 |
| desrt | jamiemcc; "8 minutes" on a good harddrive or on my laptop? :p | 07:53 |
| jamiemcc | ion_: network searches are on the long term todo | 07:53 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: a reasonable hard disk | 07:53 |
| jamiemcc | a slow one might take a few minutes more | 07:53 |
| jamiemcc | 0.6.2 would take hours to indesx that due to IO choking | 07:53 |
| mjg59 | So far, 0.6.3 seems a great deal better at avoiding IO issues | 07:53 |
| === desrt finds slow harddrives to be really slow | ||
| desrt | there is a really really big difference between compiling a kernel on my laptop and on my desktop | 07:54 |
| jamiemcc | mjg59: yeah its as good as we can make it | 07:54 |
| desrt | jamiemcc; lies :) | 07:54 |
| ion_ | 0.6.3 is indexing my entire ~ on a 500 MHz P3 box right now, and i dont notice it at all, except for the HDD led blinking steadily. | 07:54 |
| === enrico [n=enrico@debian/developer/enrico] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mjg59 | jamiemcc: It's a great improvement. Thanks very much for working on this. | 07:54 |
| jamiemcc | mjg59: no problem - we want to be the best :) | 07:55 |
| desrt | jamiemcc; i'm sure you'll find something more to tweak for 0.6.4 :) | 07:55 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: thats due on monday | 07:55 |
| desrt | oh | 07:55 |
| desrt | maybe 0.6.5 then | 07:55 |
| jamiemcc | 0.7 more like we are branching to do xesam next | 07:56 |
| === mjg59 wonders why g-p-m is suddenly unenthusiastic about spotting power state changes | ||
| desrt | mjg59; it has this new policy timeout feature | 07:56 |
| pwnguin | as long as it isn't dimming the screen after like 20 seconds | 07:56 |
| mjg59 | Ok, restarting hal seems to have made it happer | 07:56 |
| desrt | if events occur too soon after the event that preceeded them then it assumes that you have a buggy acpi and ignores them | 07:57 |
| mjg59 | Tch. Only seems to be autochanging brightness when I open the preferences. | 07:57 |
| desrt | are you using non-g-p-m methods of changing brightness? | 07:58 |
| mjg59 | jamiemcc: tracker isn't obviously pausing when I switch to battery, but it's possible that things are just generally broken right now | 07:58 |
| mjg59 | desrt: No | 07:58 |
| desrt | mjg59; that's odd indeed, then | 07:58 |
| desrt | my gutsy bitchlist is rapidly shrinking | 07:59 |
| jamiemcc | mjg59: yeah - battery pausing was well tested | 07:59 |
| jamiemcc | it uses hal so hal must be working | 07:59 |
| desrt | now all i gotta do is find out why networkmanager randomly crashes coming back from suspend | 07:59 |
| ion_ | jamiemcc: Perhaps the index should be updated after either the 16 MiB cache has been filled *or* e.g. 5 minutes have passed since the last update. | 07:59 |
| jamiemcc | ion_: we dont work like that anymore - each flushis to a sepoarate mini index (approx 16mb) | 08:00 |
| jamiemcc | once indexing is finished we stuch them all up into one index | 08:00 |
| ion_ | jamiemcc: Tracker has been running for 45 minutes and still returns no results. That is slightly annoying. | 08:01 |
| === cjwatson_ [n=cjwatson@82-69-40-219.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| desrt | does tracker do the filesystem or just ~? | 08:02 |
| jamiemcc | by default just home | 08:02 |
| === desrt tells it to stay out of his source code | ||
| jamiemcc | desrt: it plays nice wth source - tracker puases itself when compiling or checking out source | 08:03 |
| desrt | cute. | 08:04 |
| desrt | in any case, my homedir on my laptop is about 1GB | 08:05 |
| desrt | 900MB of that is source | 08:05 |
| desrt | so i'm just making tracker's job easier :) | 08:05 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: :) | 08:05 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: tracker only pauses if it detects writes on its inotify watches | 08:06 |
| jamiemcc | so if excluded from watching it wont pause | 08:06 |
| desrt | jamiemcc; tracker wakes up once every 2 seconds to read /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ADP1/state | 08:06 |
| desrt | jamiemcc; you're better to watch the system dbus for state change notifications | 08:07 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: yeah - I have to figure out how to use hal dbus | 08:07 |
| calc | cjwatson_: ok np | 08:07 |
| desrt | you just dbus_add_match on the signals | 08:07 |
| desrt | *bus_add_match, rather | 08:08 |
| jamiemcc | I know that but I dont know hal api | 08:08 |
| === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jamiemcc | hal is not very friendly in that regard | 08:08 |
| desrt | about 5 seconds with dbus-monitor --system and a yank of a laptop power cord will tell you that :) | 08:08 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: good idea! | 08:08 |
| desrt | i think for something like this it would be better to just use dbus directly | 08:08 |
| jamiemcc | yeah we are tivkless everywhere else | 08:09 |
| desrt | i recently ported some code of mine from using libhal to using libdbus. it was just easier. | 08:09 |
| jamiemcc | tickless | 08:09 |
| desrt | signal sender=:1.3 -> dest=(null destination) path=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_ADP1; interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=PropertyModified | 08:09 |
| desrt | string "ac_adapter.present" | 08:09 |
| desrt | boolean false | 08:09 |
| desrt | boolean false | 08:09 |
| jamiemcc | desrt: that acpi_ADP1 is hardware specific though | 08:10 |
| desrt | seems pretty straight-forward | 08:10 |
| desrt | it is true. | 08:10 |
| desrt | "ac_adapter.present" is not :) | 08:10 |
| jamiemcc | so I need to discover ac_adaptors first | 08:10 |
| === svolpe_gerrath [n=Gerrath@unaffiliated/gerrath] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| desrt | the format of this signal is obnoxious.... | 08:10 |
| desrt | if it sent "ac_adaptor.present" as a toplevel argument of the signal you could even match on that | 08:11 |
| jamiemcc | yeah I had a peek at api - it sux big time | 08:11 |
