[12:53] mjg59: yeah using nvidia but it happens if i blacklist the nvidia driver too [12:53] ikonia: if you include C I think I would agree, but I'm not sure about C++ specifically ;-) [12:53] ok i wanted to learn C++ for linux and ive been having a harder time googling for specific real world examples [12:53] LaserJock: couple of pythons slip thorugh the net ;) [12:53] heh [12:53] any help pointing me in the right direction would be great [12:54] jason if you can't find any resources to learn c or examples, then your not going to have the aptidue to learn c [12:54] jason: actually sourceforge I believe lets you filter projects by language [12:54] ikonia: almost zero apps in ubuntu are written in C++ [12:54] well, in the default desktop, anyway [12:54] Amaranth: C yes, apologies [12:54] Amaranth: there's gotta be some [12:54] sourceforge is for projects im not looking for projects im looking for example sites [12:54] Amaranth: I was picking up a conversationwith jason from another chanel where he was rambling [12:55] I was trying to highlight an example, badly [12:55] jason: well, a program is an example [12:55] its a more complex example [12:55] Amaranth: Try it from the console (sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force) without nvidia loaded. You'll be unlikely to get a console back, but you can then see if the machine is still alive. [12:55] jason: amazon.com - there are books [12:55] LaserJock: gnome-system-monitor [12:55] mjg59: alright [12:55] mjg59: do the pm-trace thing? === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:55] No [12:56] i currently program in php OOP just want to stear into c++ for app development [12:56] jason: so maybe just google C++ tutorial? [12:56] or C [12:56] ok, brb [12:56] thanks that did the trick for c++ tutorial [12:56] http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ [12:59] well, most of the ubuntu specific apps are written in python, not C++ :) [01:00] python has a gui [01:00] or i mean can create one? [01:01] yes, it does not have a gui, it has libraries which provide a gui, same as for C++ [01:01] neat [01:01] what IDE do you use for it [01:02] a plain text editor :) [01:02] same as for C++ ;-) === Zdra [n=zdra@91.177.25.57] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:02] emacs/vim FTW [01:02] give a try either to wxpython or wxpython [01:03] I personally found wxGTK easier to learn [01:03] ops, i mean, pygtk or wxpython [01:05] jason, you have plent of examples your system, more /usr/bin/update-manager :) [01:05] is that a binary file or text [01:06] it is a text, more was the command to read it [01:06] sorry didnt see the more [01:07] when in doubt: file /usr/bin/update-manager ;) [01:07] i see the could pretty neat [01:07] /usr/bin/update-notifier is not readable though [01:07] uh ? [01:07] hum [01:07] kmos@bash:~$ file /usr/bin/update-manager [01:07] /usr/bin/update-manager: python script text executable [01:07] :) [01:08] hum, there is something strange, randomly, more is reporting as not executable [01:08] so update-notifier is python [01:09] ops, i mean't manager [01:09] erm, meant [01:09] update-manager, is [01:10] or /usr/bin/gdebi , etc, etc [01:10] ok === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:12] mjg59: even if i blacklist nvidia and ipw3945 and boot in recovery mode it fails, no caps lock, sound stays muted (hardware light) === frostburn [n=archlich@cpe-66-24-243-56.stny.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:13] jason: python is a scripted language so you have many many examples already on your computer [01:14] jason: there is also a book called Dive Into Python which you can install (if it isn't already) in Ubuntu [01:15] LaserJock: diveintopython is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop :) [01:16] ah, good, I thought maybe they removed it [01:16] so you can just go into the Help and search for dive into python [01:16] which IDE can i use for this python === tehk [n=tehk@c-68-44-165-48.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:20] jason: I just use a text editor, but I think python may come with one (IDLE) and I think SPE is decently popular [01:20] I believe there are also python plugins for eclipse === cube3x3 [n=root@cpe-24-24-93-200.stny.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:23] hum, python plugin for eclipse would be handy === defcon [n=ion@71-35-71-34.phnx.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Gman [i=gman@nat/sun/x-60926da581e142a7] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:26] Does gutsy have a startup option that allows to use legacy drivers instead of libata for IDE HDs? === edson [n=edson@unaffiliated/edson] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:28] umm... why do we have ddate in util-linux, or on the default install... it seems like the biggest waste of 7.7k :P === mcgrof [n=mcgrof@ruslug.rutgers.edu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === cromo [i=cromo@klej.net] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === mcgrof [n=mcgrof@ruslug.rutgers.edu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === j_ack [n=j_ack@p508D8007.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:37] MrMazda: no, afaik those drivers are gone [01:39] ide-generic is still there [01:40] What's the secret to using them? I did modprobe -r ata_piix but the installer just reloaded it. My installation target is hda22 [01:41] hmm, it's true piix.ko isn't built any more [01:41] MrMazda: what problem are you trying to solve? it's usually better to move forward than back ... [01:41] installation target is hda22 === cube3x3_ [n=root@cpe-24-24-93-200.stny.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === doko [n=doko@dslb-088-073-087-196.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:49] cjwatson: forward is not substituting a 14 partition limit for a 62 partition limit. SUSE and Mandriva furnish legacy drivers so people can continue to use existing partitioning. [01:51] my point was that it would be good to report bugs on the current drivers so that they can be fixed, because they do resolve other problems === archlich [n=archlich@cpe-74-74-219-225.rochester.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:51] I agree the limit is unfortunate, and it's not a problem that had occurred to me before [01:52] as for legacy drivers, you'd need to ask the kernel team [01:52] hmm, there is a pata_oldpiix.ko [01:53] though drat, that's still libata === cube3x3 [n=root@cpe-24-24-93-200.stny.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:54] MrMazda: I think the best you're likely to be able to do at present is to build the module yourself and blacklist the other in modprobe configuration so that it doesn't get reloaded [01:54] cjwatson: libata cannot be fixed because the limit is in the kernel to use the same limits that plague real SCSI. The only possible kernel fix (already planned) is actually a complete libata rewrite that doesn't depend on SCSI. Until either that rewrite or a device mapper solution, only legacy drivers are possible solution for systems requiring access to all existing partiitons. [01:54] cjwatson: how would that help getting installed in the first place? [01:55] I didn't say it would be easy ... [01:55] MrMazda: Yeah. I'm afraid there's currently no practical way to install on devices with more than 16 partitions. [01:56] You're the first person to have complained, amazingly [01:56] I think if I needed that many partitions I'd be inclined to move to LVM [01:56] mjg59: not exactly: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/134983 [01:57] Launchpad bug 134983 in ubuntu "Cannot mount /home on /dev/hda16" [Undecided,New] [01:57] (I'm not saying that your situation isn't a problem, understand - but this isn't going to change for 7.10 at this point) [01:57] I should probably make the installer check the partition count so that it fails earlier / more obviously [01:58] MrMazda: Heh. Ok, second. [01:59] there's an even bigger problem in that it is a booby tray for upgraders who have no clue it's a problem [01:59] Yes. [02:00] But it's an issue that was introduced with the previous release, so I suspect it's hit about as many people as it's likely to now [02:00] mjg59: SUSE & Mandriva at least offer a clue: e.g. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandriva/2008.0/Notes#Changes_to_the_Mandriva_installer [02:00] if somebody could file a bug on update-manager to add a check, that would be good [02:00] MrMazda: TBH it simply hadn't occurred to me up to now. Now that you've mentioned it we can release-note it in various places [02:02] mjg59: a google for the subject of libata partition limit or somesuch does turn up a lot of discussion from people who hit the problem in SUSE & Mandriva beta testing, and people who simply can't with Fedora, plus other distros affected [02:02] MrMazda: I'm not denying it's a problem. I just don't think the number of people it hits is large. [02:03] For those it does hit, it's obviously a major issue and we ought to be communicating that. [02:03] But since you're only the second person to have raised it as an issue with us, it's something that hasn't featured as a high priority... [02:03] mjg59: I know, like the problem of mousetype on web pages doesn't affect many people, but it's a big problem for those it does hit. :-( [02:04] lvm isn't for everyone [02:05] I wanted to bring this up on ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com a long time ago, but my attempts to post there always get rejected by moderators :-( [02:07] moderation rejections from ubuntu-devel@ are typically quite clear about where things should go instead [02:07] was yours not? === cube3x3 [n=root@32.129.176.49] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:07] (cf. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelModeration) [02:07] and ubuntu-devel-discuss@ is always an option [02:08] cjwatson: OK thx.

[07:49] StevenK: sure [07:49] pitti: http://wedontsleep.org/~steven/vbox [07:50] pitti: Basically, it builds the modules for virtualbox-ose for -generic and -server, since I asked BenC and he said something along the lines of [07:50] "I've played that game, it was a pain, and we're not playing it again." [07:51] that game -> include them into l-u-m? [07:51] or did he refer to dapper's vmware modules? [07:52] Ben doesn't want to include modules which have a tight version dependency with userspace [07:52] That game was including them in l-u-m, which I believe was done for Edgy or Feisty [07:53] the package itself looks sane enough, no problem there [07:53] but if we put it in, this sort of commits us to support it and keep it up to date [07:53] i. e. increases the number of things to do for kernel ABI bumps and testing, etc. [07:53] pitti: I'm happy to do so, I've no plans at all to update virtualbox-ose during gutsy. [07:54] StevenK: did BenC give his blessing to this approach? [07:55] pitti: BenC's suggestion was to use DKMS.

[12:55] ensuring that the UUID is for the device that udev would have picked is hard [12:55] (since udev applies priorities to UUIDs) [12:56] Keybuk: that sounds like an issue for ambiguous UUIDs only? [12:56] pitti: such as any involving devmapper :p [12:57] pitti: the postinst implements the "install the base system" menu item [12:58] cjwatson: I mean, is it installed into /target, or run within the installer? when can this change be made in the installer env?

[05:06] ivoks: sounds like a conflict is needed between them [05:06] BenC: To be honest, it would be s/-13/-14/ in control, rules adding a changelog entry and uploading. [05:06] BenC: yes, -new lacks Conflict: nvidia-settings [05:06] soren: the trick with the .bak is that this initramfs only has the swap device [05:07] I could be convinced to just get that down to control. :-) [05:07] soren: it doesn't actually have the root device [05:07] pitti: I'm not sure how that answers my question. [05:07] soren: fortunately this is not even necessary, due to the udev magic we have nowadays; but at least one of them need to be mentioned [05:07] StevenK: yeah, but we already have 5 packages to do that with...you'd need to just check on such things [05:07] soren: and the entire thing breaks if swap and root are not on the same LVM [05:07] soren: I do not yet know why it breaks further (your actual question) [05:08] pitti: You mean vg?

[05:09] BenC: Er, wait, was that 'happy happy' directed at my conversation? :-) [05:10] BenC: ooh [05:10] BenC: Just now? Did you happen to see my mail to kernel-team about half an hour ago? [05:10] StevenK: you're good with that package, as long as I don't get blamed for it breaking :) [05:10] soren: no [05:10] BenC: Works for me. :-) [05:10] BenC: and with rolled-back apparmor? or what's the current approach for that? [05:10] pitti: Can you NEW it? *flutters eyelashes* :-) [05:10] Keybuk: I use triaged to mean that all the documented debugging information for that package / area has been gathered and that the bug should be looked at by a developer. [05:11] pitti: no, this is just a unionfs-1.4 (reverted from 2.1) to work with current apparmor [05:11] pitti: no other changes needed [05:11] BenC: oh, and that's it? great [05:11] BenC: Could you take a look? Pretty, please? [05:11] soren: sure, I thought someone had put it in [05:11] BenC: Yes, me too :) [05:15] cjwatson: oooh, I just noticed that there are UUIDs in /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-; how weird [05:15] the could be the base64 encoding of an UUID [05:16] well, I think I give up at this point === shiyee [n=Shiyee@0x50a16837.abnxx4.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:17] this isn't anywhere near trivial any more [05:17] bdmurray: ah, that explains it then [05:17] I use "Confirmed" for that :) [05:17] "Triaged" to me means that there's enough information in the bug to fix it [05:17] (Confirmed being enough information to replicate it) [05:19] BenC: seems like sound is the #1 issue reported against the kernel [05:19] Keybuk: Do you have a bug that you would consider Triaged? I'm curious to see one with your criteria. [05:20] not off-hand [05:20] pitti: Could I beg you to NEW virtualbox-ose-modules at your leisure? Maybe even binary NEW it when it builds on amd64 and i386? [05:20] I've got lots which should only be Confirmed :) [05:21] StevenK: yep, in a minute [05:21] pitti: Sure, thanks. [05:21] sabdfl: it always is...stock alsa in the kernel is always way behind upstream :/ [05:21] e.g. any of the fsck/swap issues -- we have lots of information and can repeat the problem in vmware and see the bug [05:21] but we have no idea what causes it [05:21] at the point we know, I'd use the higher status [05:21] Keybuk: introduce YALPS! === RicardoPerez [n=servidor@90.Red-213-96-162.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:22] Keybuk: ("Yet Another Launchpad Status") [05:22] so to me, that's Confirmed because we've confirmed the bug exists and is replicable -- but not Triaged, because we don't know what's wrong with it [05:22] sabdfl: cherry picking individual fixes is way too time consuming, which is why we're opting for a linux-backports-modules of the current alsa for people that want to install it [05:22] otherwise if that's Triaged, it's not clear to be what Confirmed is for [05:22] since that should be the same as New? [05:22] Keybuk: others can reproduce it / it is reproducible [05:22] or so the logic goes, anyway. [05:22] the distinction as I've heard it explained is that Confirmed means that somebody can reproduce it, and Triaged means a developer can reproduce it [05:23] which is, I concede, a non-trivial distinction (often reproducing a problem is 90% of the way to solving it) === BenC sides with cjwatson's assumption [05:23] Which is oh so clear from the name. [05:23] but it's not clear that it's exactly what we want [05:23] just blame sabdfl. [05:23] cjwatson: I thought Confirmed was we can reproduce, Triaged means we know what's wrong, In Progress means we're working on a fix [05:23] Amaranth: that's how I try and use them [05:23] That way makes sense to me. [05:24] (Triaged but not yet In Progress bugs being good things for other people to pick up, since there's everything they need except the actual patch) === Hobbsee suspecst they mean different things to different maintainers, and as long as the LP devs decree "this is the way it's done", that's more or less fine. [05:24] although that does cause trouble for the bug triagers, i concede [05:24] kiko produced this: http://news.launchpad.net/general/of-bugs-and-statuses === cassidy_ [n=cassidy@63.116.222.46] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:25] sabdfl: yes. havent you seen the mailing list thread after it? [05:25] which doesn't really do as neat a job of confirmed vs triaged as Amaranth did above [05:25] Hobbsee: i've heard of this thread [05:26] BenC: why don't we generally go with upstream alsa, rather than putting it in backports? [05:26] sabdfl: then you'd know that there's reasonable amounts of disagreement and discussion about the statuses :0 [05:26] I think it will become much harder for a triager to determine when a bug is triaged. [05:26] Keybuk: any idea how to interpret "/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-KJO4ugYyA4nFPEw5btZXayQjDRI8VPeP" ? [05:26] And the concept behind the extra status was to offload some work from developers. [05:26] sabdfl: if we had done it in time (for testing), I'd be happy to put it into linux-ubuntu-modules, but it's too late now [05:27] pitti: devmapper device with the devmapper UUID LVM-KJO4ugYyA4nFPEw5btZXayQjDRI8VPeP [05:27] Keybuk: ah, that's from 65-dmsetup.rules:ENV{DM_UUID}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/dm-uuid-$env{DM_UUID}" [05:27] sabdfl: I've never liked the idea of tracking such a huge set of modules out-of-tree, but things the way they are, we made this last minute decision to handle it this way [05:27] pitti: right [05:27] sabdfl: probably be something we do from the start past gutsy [05:27] it's part of an LVM wotsit [05:28] LVM passes in the LVM UUID when it sets up the device [05:28] probably the VG UUID [05:28] (rather than the UUID of the filesystem *inside* the VG) [05:28] Keybuk: so, I wonder why I don't get proper /dev/disk/by-uuid/ in the installer for LVMs [05:28] bdmurray: I honestly get annoyed with someone other than me or mvo sets a compiz bug to triaged [05:28] bdmurray: which in many cases is a bit misguided anyway - until developers can count on 100% triaging coverage, they'll often look at everything coming in anyway :-) [05:28] pitti: no filesystem UUID available at the point the device is created? [05:28] pitti: e.g. because it's formatted after being set up? :p [05:28] (not that it's not a noble goal) [05:28] bdmurray: It seems like the QA team just assumes valid output from apport is enough to mark a crash bug as triaged [05:28] Keybuk: that's most likely [05:28] sabdfl: kind of the obvious thing when most sound bug reports end with "it works with current alsa" :) [05:29] BenC: didn't we have to back out current alsa because it regressed a bunch of intel chips? [05:29] Keybuk: can it be poked somehow? (udevtrigger doesn't) [05:29] or did I misunderstand that reversion? [05:29] pitti: udevtrigger should poke it [05:29] though you might have to poke something surprising [05:29] echo -n change > /sys/block/dm-NN/uevent [05:29] ? [05:29] cjwatson: we backed out snd-hda-intel because of that...we couldn't just include that one module without a lot of core alsa API changes [05:29] Keybuk: ah, wait, i was still in chroot /target [05:30] cjwatson: hence the reason for doing a full backport [05:30] Keybuk: yes, udevtrigger in the outside chroot did the trick [05:30] BenC: oh, it was because we tried to pick and choose? ok [05:30] cjwatson: Right, but the triaged bugs should be a better starting point. [05:30] cjwatson: right [05:30] bdmurray: yeah, it depends on the time of the release cycle [05:30] Keybuk: thanks [05:30] bdmurray: early on that makes sense - near the end response time is key [05:30] snd-hda-intel is the fastest moving target in alsa [05:31] all the new codecs and wiring for every freaking new laptop ever made (AMD and Intel) [05:31] snd-hda-intel needs to be renamed to snd-hda...nothing Intel specific about it [05:31] Amaranth: What detailed output should the QA team be looking for to distinguish between a crash report that should be Triaged vs one that is Confirmed? === agoliveira_lunch is now known as agoliveira [05:32] bdmurray: I think it'd require knowledge of the compiz code for compiz bugs [05:32] bdmurray: For other packages I dunno, I don't know their code :P [05:33] Amaranth: Then it seems to me that we have limited the work the QA team can do if all compiz crashes should be confirmed. [05:33] bdmurray: my understanding of http://news.launchpad.net/general/of-bugs-and-statuses is that the QA team shouldn't generally set Triaged? [05:33] (which makes it a very misleading status name, but ...) [05:34] bdmurray: what work do you do on other packages to distinguish between Confirmed and Triaged? [05:34] do you have any examples how you differ the statuses? [05:34] Confirmed should be locked so users can't confirm their own bugs [05:34] That is so annoying === jpatrick [n=patrick@133.Red-88-24-239.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:35] It's much better when people file -uvf reports, and then another person "Hey, wow, great! I want this, so I'm going to set to Confirmed" - which for a motu-uvf request means "Two people have looked at this and rubber stamped it" [05:35] Keybuk: the equivalent of the australian decision dice [05:36] Keybuk: because anybody can confirm the bug it is possible that someone may have confirmed an X bug without obtaining the necessary log and configuration files. So after confirming that everything is there and that the reporter is not making a mistake I would set the status to triaged. [05:36] pitti: any progress with the cryptsetup stuff? can i help you somehow? [05:37] pitti: So, the dovecot update passes the tests (when the person doing the tests is not an idiot), and I've tested the dovecot-{pop3,imap}d.post{inst,rm} magic quite a bit. What else do I need to do? [05:37] bdmurray: so if use of Confirmed was limited to members of qa, assignee or package contacts - that would solve the problem? [05:37] cjwatson: I disagree with what kiko wrote up about triaged [05:37] bdmurray: I suppose Triaged could mean "the QA team thinks this has enough info" then I could bounce the bug through Incomplete or Confirmed as needed [05:38] (or we need YALS between Triaged and In Progress ... maybe "Understood"?) [05:38] Keybuk: I don't think limiting the way people can help out even more is the solution [05:38] Kopfgeldjaeger: I have another attempt in the pipeline === mathiaz [n=mathiaz@ubuntu/member/mathiaz] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:38] bdmurray: my concern is that there doesn't appear to be any difference between those two Statuses [05:38] can anyone set Triaged? [05:38] soren: sounds fine [05:39] Keybuk: no [05:39] Keybuk: no [05:39] who is it limited to? [05:39] ubuntu-q [05:39] a [05:39] Hobbsee: can the assignee or package contacts set it? [05:39] no idea, tbh [05:39] Which is somewhat annoying, I joined the QA team just so I could manage compiz bugs [05:39] I don't think so [05:39] hmm [05:39] Keybuk: the package contacts cant select importance, so i doubt they can do that either. apparently that's a lp "feature" - although i've long debated how it isnt.

[05:41] bdmurray: I can just say generically "these things are useful" but then some bug report comes that needs some very specific info [05:41] Kopfgeldjaeger: "in the pipeline" => "on its way" [05:41] bdmurray: Or would you rather waste time getting all possible stuff from the user at once even though almost none of it gets used?

[05:43] So if you file a bug on a certain package it can have a script associated with it that apport runs to collect package-specific info automatically [05:43] ok, thanks ;) [05:43] which I don't think indicates that the documentation needs to be improved [05:43] cjwatson: absolutely, I meant that if there is a trend of bugs being incorrectly triaged [05:44] right ...

[08:54] ion_: I'll take a look [08:55] donspaulding: sometimes error messages are helpful, rather than a hinderance :p [08:56] yeah, I'm just so used to looking at python tracebacks where error messages complaining about %s really mean they're choking on a variable that was supposed to be in %s. === donspaulding really needs to learn bash === Spads [n=spacehob@host-87-74-18-1.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === cypherbios [n=cyr@ubuntu/member/cypherbios] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:58] ion_: where do you end up specifying all the ${ion-base:Depends} lines at? [08:58] donspaulding: Theyre read by debian/rules from ion-base in the packages root directory. [08:59] gotcha, so that way you can just keep a flat text file with all the dependencies, interesting [08:59] Yeah, with comments etc. [09:01] ion_: well you just rendered several hours worth of work useless. thanks for that :-P [09:03] mdke: i think i have it now [09:03] mdke: can I send you and try it? [09:03] ion_: it's nice how that takes dependencies out of the control file, makes editing them programmatically much easier :-) [09:03] RicardoPerez: alright, tell me how you did it [09:04] mdke: using the msgmerge tool [09:04] mdke: msgmerge es.po gnome-access-guide.pot > final.po [09:04] mdke: and then translating the final.po file using gtranslator [09:04] that sounds right [09:04] RicardoPerez: if it works, I can't promise that the release managers will allow another upload of the package, but we'll try [09:05] mdke: ok, great!

(http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4724) [09:17] superm1: I believe I answered that question a day or two ago; perhaps you missed my reply [09:18] cjwatson, that's possible. [09:18] which channel was it in? I'll look through logs [09:18] superm1: casper/ubiquity-hooks/20xconfig copies /etc/X11/xorg.conf over to the target system. It doesn't copy over the relevant bits of the debconf database because that isn't supposed to be necessary; if not copying bits of the debconf database is causing a problem, then that's a bug [09:18] (was approximately my answer from the other day) [09:19] that would be causing a problem (not copying over the relevant bits of debconf). Since they aren't copied over, any effort to regenerate xorg.conf using dexconf will fail [09:19] superm1: that's a horrible, horrible bug === Sp4rKy_ [n=Sp4rKy@dunnewind.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:20] superm1: the debconf database is not supposed to be canonical in any way, shape or form === Kmos [n=gothicx@unaffiliated/kmos] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:20] superm1: the canonical thing is the configuration file on the filesystem, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:20] cjwatson, then perhaps some of the underlying principles of BulletProofX have issues then. [09:20] superm1: are you calling dexconf directly by hand? [09:21] cjwatson, yeah i've called it by hand to verify this issue. === cassidy_ [n=cassidy@63.116.222.46] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:21] superm1: I don't think that's a good idea - try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg instead? [09:21] I was under the impression that dexconf wasn't something you were typically supposed to call directly [09:22] but rather something that the xserver-xorg maintainer scripts call, and that's just provided as a separate binary for debugging convenience [09:22] cjwatson, that works properly and will generate a new xorg.conf properly. the problem is that when a xorg.conf.failsafe is made for BulletProofX, it pulls the data from debconf [09:22] i have only been using dexconf for debugging indeed [09:22] superm1: I think we may be unable to fix this at this point for 7.10, and should revisit the problem for 8.04 === nxvl [n=nxvl@irc.americatelnet.com.pe] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:23] pitti: urgh, gross [09:23] cjwatson, that's rather unfortunate. [09:23] mvo: there's a bug in latest upload of update-notifier - typo in schema === rluberti [n=rluberti@85-18-55-36.ip.fastwebnet.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel === lbm [n=lbm@0x555373ab.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:24] pitti: another possibility: go back to the previous code in base-installer, reinstate the update-initramfs diversion in pkgsel, and change pkgsel to run update-initramfs with a bind-mounted /dev (but the rest of pkgsel can run without that) === rluberti [n=rluberti@85-18-55-36.ip.fastwebnet.it] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [09:26] cjwatson, since the new debconf pieces aren't copied over at all during the live install, what data *should* be in those debconf variables after you first boot into the new system? The data gathered from the cdimage buildd's local machine? [09:27] um, goodness knows, probably not very well-defined [09:27] with the exception of the special uses to which the installer puts it, the contents of the debconf database aren't really expected to be well-defined outside maintainer script runs [09:28] well i wonder if bryce is aware of the issues this can be causing then. i'll discuss this more with him later [09:28] in fact you're supposed (theoretically, it doesn't *quite* work right) to be able to nuke the db without much harm done - that's why it's in /var/cache [09:28] i see [09:29] would you be entirely opposed to adding a step to copy this debconf data over in ubiquity as an interim fix (provided it didn't break anything)? [09:29] and then for 8.04 coming up with a better solution [09:30] You can also use debconf in other, standalone programs. The [09:30] issue to watch out for here is that debconf is not intended to [09:30] be, and must not be used as a registry. This is unix after all, [09:30] and programs are configured by files in /etc, not by some nebu [09:30] lous debconf database (that is only a cache anyway and might [09:30] get blown away). So think long and hard before using debconf in [09:30] a standalone program. [09:30] ^-- debconf-devel(7) [09:30] at this point I'm worried about the flakiness of such code in ubiquity too [09:31] i understand. [09:31] though it could be done, there's a copy_debconf function in bin/ubiquity which does this [09:31] (actually I should get rid of that for exactly the same reasons, of course!) [09:31] haha [09:31] console-setup is part of the installer so there's some clash of assumptions there [09:32] if a very small change to copy_debconf can make this work, I'd be prepared to upload that [09:32] cjwatson, i'll see what i can come up with [09:32] ivoks: *ick* [09:32] if this only affects mythbuntu, though, I'd prefer it to be conditionalised for the mythbuntu frontend? [09:33] better safe than sorry at this point [09:33] cjwatson, i wouldn't expect it to only affect mythbuntu based on its basis [09:33] cjwatson, but i'll check with bryce [09:33] hmm, you're probably right [09:33] I'd like to know a little more about how this failsafe stuff works, but we don't have a lot of time [09:34] bryce: ^-- [09:34] ivoks: where is the typo? [09:34] mvo: line 7 [09:34] iirc [09:34] false/default> [09:35] ivoks: thanks, fixing now [09:35] np [09:43] geser: libservlet> please get it uploaded, if it has a minimal diff [09:43] cjwatson: unfortunately that won't help [09:43] cjwatson: the problem is that this is now a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation [09:44] pitti: why won't it help? [09:44] cjwatson: i. e. when running with bind-mounted /dev, libraw1394 will fail to install (and god knows what else), and without bind-mount, the next package which update-initramfs'es will trash it [09:44] pitti: my suggestion was to bind-mount /dev just around the update-initramfs call [09:44] pitti: specifically not around the whole of pkgsel [09:44] pitti: diverting update-initramfs in pkgsel will ensure that it's not called when you don't expect it [09:45] cjwatson: ah, I see what you mean [09:45] and you can bind-mount /dev around things that update-initramfs in base-installer, just as before [09:45] cjwatson: actually, wouldn't it be easier to use that finish-install hook of cryptsetup? [09:45] cjwatson: this is done as a very last thing, after installing everything else, right? [09:45] cjwatson: so this thing could bind-mount, update-initramfs, unmount [09:46] cjwatson: that would avoid reverting the diversion fix, etc.; seems a little less intrusive to me [09:47] the diversion change isn't a problem, I only did that for cleanliness === Keybuk shakes his fist at Python's USELESS documentation [09:47] the docs for the ElementTree API utterly fail to document the Element class [09:47] pitti: well, whatever you want, I suppose that would work but it seems a lot more fragile [09:48] cjwatson: ok, if you think so; I was just pondering the possibility [09:48] you need to make sure there isn't *another* finish-install hook after it in order, and yet it still needs to be called before unmounting the CD (er, probably); and interesting things happen if the user goes back and forward in the installer menu in expert mode [09:48] ah, I se [09:48] e [09:49] we had a security flaw in the past that only happened in the latter situation, iirc :) [09:49] pitti: but it's true that solution would be a lot quicker, so ... up to you [09:49] quicker to implement that is === effraie [n=effraie@ubuntu/member/effraie] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:51] cjwatson: ah, I looked at r87 of pkgsel; reverting that and bind-mounting indeed seems easier [09:52] that's the bunny === mlind [n=matti@IP-62-216-112-78.telemail.fi] has joined #ubuntu-devel === raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:53] Keybuk: Python's docs only *appear* useless when all you can see is the problem, once you understand the solution, the docs make perfect sense :-) [09:53] like all good docs === effraie [n=effraie@ubuntu/member/effraie] has joined #ubuntu-devel === tkamppeter_ [n=till@bl10-207-78.dsl.telepac.pt] has joined #ubuntu-devel === RicardoPerez [n=RicardoP@84.122.255.213.dyn.user.ono.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ds500ss [n=marcel@vrs-c-16f6f.adsl.wanadoo.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ds500ss [n=marcel@vrs-c-16f6f.adsl.wanadoo.nl] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [09:56] mdke: heh, yes, I suppose you could say other docs implement the "this is simply a reference for the Masters" documentation idealogy, but surely Python came up with it first. [09:57] I don't know much about python, but from what I've seen in error messages, it's a general philosophy rather than just limited to the docs [09:58] eh, it's fairly easy to get good at reading tracebacks and finding the problem, but some of the docs take "cryptic technical writing" to a whole new level.

[10:16] rules is build-time [10:16] postinst is install-time [10:16] which do you want? [10:16] postinst [10:17] easiest way there would be to make your postinst a python script [10:17] otherwise you'd have to install the script somewhere and call it from postinst [10:17] which gets to be a bit of a pain [10:17] since your meta package would ship executables [10:17] ok, I have a meta-package that results in about 6 binaries, how do I include a postinst in just one of them? or do I only get one postinst for the meta? [10:18] put it in debian/binarypackagename.postinst [10:18] depends how you made your meta package [10:18] whether you're using debhelper, etc./ [10:18] mdke: done :) [10:18] (if you just copied mine, just name it as tollef suggests) [10:18] mdke: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-user-docs/+bug/150696 [10:18] Launchpad bug 150696 in gnome-user-docs "[Gutsy] "Assistive Tool" string untranslated" [Undecided,New] [10:18] I'm using ion's CDBS rules script and using debuild [10:18] yeah, same name then [10:20] so just write a python script that shebangs /usr/bin/python and name it binaryname.postinst?

[10:49] hey, I have an idea [10:49] cjwatson: I think he suggested it himself this time. [10:49] call update-dev [10:49] cjwatson: last time he explicitly recommended me to call udevtrigger to get the missing uuids [10:49] that way at least d-i is wrong consistently :-) [10:50] ok, if Keybuk suggested it then I guess it must be OK [10:50] that's a wrapper around udevtrigger plus some magic? [10:50] if type udevtrigger >/dev/null 2>&1 && type udevsettle >/dev/null 2>&1; then [10:50] udevtrigger [10:50] pitti: are you sure you need /sys for that?

[10:50] so I just added it in case [10:50] pitti: if Keybuk suggested udevtrigger, let's just leave it as you have it [10:50] ok [10:51] Kopfgeldjaeger: bits of initramfs-tools do walk /sys, so yes, it is needed. [10:51] I'm curious: How do you guys test d-i stuff? There must be a simpler way than to build a fresh installer image and try it in a vm? [10:51] grep /sys /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions [10:51] cjwatson: I hope that the changelog is written halfway comprehensible, and that it explains the dilemma [10:51] cjwatson: for hardy, I'd instead fix packages to install cleanly with a dynamic udev and keep /dev bind-mounted (seems much cleaner to me) [10:51] soren: typically I either edit it while it's running (you have nano), or I wget or scp in updated versions while it's running [10:52] pitti: yeah, I think setting up /dev/.static/dev might be enough === Arador [n=dcg@179.pool80-103-4.dynamic.orange.es] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:52] aah, ok. but in my qemu mashine, i didnt need /sys to do a successfull update-initramfs. but things may vary [10:52] dunno. anyway [10:52] Kopfgeldjaeger: you probably get different results in some circumstances [10:52] Kopfgeldjaeger: it won't error out, but it may behave differently [10:53] pitti: do you need the UUIDs immediately? [10:53] yeah.. [10:53] though only in MODULES=dep mode [10:53] Keybuk: yes, it's basically udevtrigger; update-initramfs -u [10:53] cjwatson: Oh, really? I would have thought you had some sort of special environment where you could do things more easily. [10:53] Keybuk: I call update-initramfs immediately after; a few seconds delay won't hurt, but it's not defined [10:53] soren: it's easy enough [10:53] ok... then he needs a udevsettle in there too [10:53] pitti: have you time to sponsor bug #150692 or should I look for an other sponsor?

To me it all just seems opaque. [10:57] soren: but I find that to lengthen the test cycle too much for ordinary work, really [10:57] soren: plus I've been working on d-i for 3+ years so I have a head-start in terms of instinct for what will work ;) [10:58] cjwatson: Sure :) [10:58] (having written big chunks of the infrastructure sure helps in remembering how it works) [10:58] pitti: So tomorrow's daily will have working auto-crypto-lvm goodness? [10:59] pitti: did you promote partman-auto-crypto back to main? [10:59] pitti: Oh, you actually demoted it already? [11:00] I thought "I'll demote foo to universe" was just pitti-speak for "/me shakes his fist at foo". [11:00] cjwatson: yes [11:00] soren: that's the problem if you have a drescher account -- shaking your first actually *does* things [11:00] [11:01] meh, why doesn't vmware support copy&paste in VTs [11:01] Is that an actual question? === phanatic_ [n=phanatic@dsl5402820E.pool.t-online.hu] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:01] [11:02] Oh, good. :) [11:02] wasn't there a trick to get scp in d-i? [11:03] pitti: anna-install openssh-client-udeb [11:03] merci [11:03] works immediately after "retrieving installer components"; before then, it'll queue [11:03] wget and nc are built-in === persia [n=persia@ubuntu/member/persia] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:04] ah, wget, that'll do === smagoun [n=steve@fw.pepper.com] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === jamesh__ [n=james@canonical/launchpad/jamesh] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jml_ [n=jml@222-155-55-162.jetstream.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-devel === YokoZar [n=scott@c-67-166-147-83.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [11:13] BenC: can we please have lbm for -13? === jml [n=jml@222-155-55-162.jetstream.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:15] pitti: You discussed bug 119075 with jdstrand recently, right? What did you decide for gutsy?

[11:17] I notice you're the only uploader in ages. === svolpe [n=Gerrath@unaffiliated/gerrath] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:18] pitti: I understand that at this point in the release process we should keep things simple, but we've changed things in released versions of Ubuntu to this effect. It seems wrong to have a feature in Dapper, Edgy, and Feisty, not in Gutsy, and then reintroduce it in Hardy. [11:18] wasabi: We decided to defer it. It'll be in hardy. [11:18] Ahh. [11:18] soren: ok; what particular feature do you mean? [11:18] The packages look like they're not in a complete state. Am I right? [11:18] pitti: Adding the resetpassword thing in the init script. === jwendell [n=wendell@ubuntu/member/wendell] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:18] wasabi: Yes. [11:19] k. Thanks. [11:19] soren: AFAIR we just agreed to make sure to display the debconf question for gutsy [11:19] pitti: Ok. Hmm... [11:20] I understand the argument, I think. We didn't used to ask for a root password, so gutsy is different w.r.t. to password handling, but you can just tell it that you want an empty password, and it'll accept that. [11:20] ..and unlike dapper, edgy, and feisty, it won't make a fuss over it. [11:21] Uargh... Has Jamie's patch been uploaded to -security already? === goedson [n=goedson@200150010056.static.corp.wayinternet.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:22] soren: not sure; keescook?
