| TomaszD | hi, I'm working for a publishing company and we need to have access as early as possible to the final gutsy i386 image, so that we can remaster it and release it in our magazine (about 5000 copies). 18th is the release date, but I'm sure the isos are built a day earlier right? is it possible to get them somehow to avoid the inevitable queues? | 12:57 |
|---|---|---|
| pitti | TomaszD: no promises, but we hope to have final images in a few hours | 12:58 |
| slangasek | "few" | 12:58 |
| pitti | TomaszD: check the dailies tomorrow morning, they *should* be pretty much final | 12:58 |
| pitti | TomaszD: but as I said, we can never rule out emergency rebuilds for high-profile bugs | 12:58 |
| slangasek | TomaszD: we can make sure you have access to our candidate images, but please don't commit to pressing them until they're publically announced as final | 12:59 |
| TomaszD | pitti, alright. I understand. Thanks. | 12:59 |
| TomaszD | slangasek, sure I just need something to work on and then send to the office, it'll be pressed on the 19th, but I need time for testing my remastered copy | 01:00 |
| TomaszD | it would be downright insane having to do all this in one day | 01:01 |
| slangasek | TomaszD: sure :) | 01:01 |
| TomaszD | great! | 01:01 |
| slangasek | TomaszD: well, as pitti mentions, the candidate images are published as dailies, so they'll be available here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ | 01:01 |
| TomaszD | I know that place already, yeah :] | 01:02 |
| TomaszD | so I basically need to look here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ tomorrow right? | 01:02 |
| slangasek | yes | 01:03 |
| TomaszD | and what is tomorrow for you, because here's it's already tomorrow (01:06AM) | 01:03 |
| TomaszD | *here | 01:03 |
| TomaszD | like, in 10hrs would be fine? | 01:03 |
| slangasek | tomorrow for me is different than tomorrow for pitti, but he means the morning of Oct 16 European time, yes :) | 01:04 |
| === mathiaz [n=mathiaz@ubuntu/member/mathiaz] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| TomaszD | alright, thanks again, will get the daily live in ten hours then and assume it's final, hope I'm not going to die a painful death because of that ;] | 01:04 |
| TomaszD | bbl | 01:04 |
| slangasek | TomaszD: at a minimum, could you check that the md5sum of your downloaded image matches the released image once the release is announced, to make sure we didn't re-roll the image? | 01:06 |
| TomaszD | slangasek, I will | 01:07 |

| thully | Hi - I lost suspend as of the -13 Ubuntu kernel (bug #151016), and I'm currently looking to get this debugged. Any pointers? | 04:46 |

| thully | One thing - I noticed this: | 04:46 |
| thully | clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko | 04:46 |
| thully | in the changelog, and I'm wondering how I may test "un-removing" this patch. This patch was applied to the tree at the same time I started having suspend issues... | 04:47 |

| Hobbsee | Mithrandir: we should do that for all -desktop packages (blacklist them from apport). i've yet to find a useful one. | 05:09 |

| thully | hi - does anyone here know who I should bring kernel regressions to the attention of? Going from -12 to -13 (and-14) killed suspend for me, and my bug on Launchpad has had no response... | 05:20 |
| Hobbsee | #ubuntu-kernel, probably when tehy're actually awake | 05:21 |
| Hobbsee | if it was going to -13, why wasnt it raised earlier? it's likely too late for gutsy | 05:22 |
| thully | I reported the bug over a week ago and e-mailed several kernel-related contacts | 05:23 |
| Hobbsee | ok | 05:23 |
| thully | and they ignored me (well, one dev told me not to e-mail him) | 05:24 |
| Hobbsee | i'd assume that you'll have to take that up with the kernel team, as it's their domain. | 05:24 |
| thully | yeah, these were contacts off the kernel team page... one person mentioned reverting the one patch that seems suspicious, but I can't even find the old code/diffs to do that.. | 05:26 |
| thully | One question - if I applied for/got QA access, would my bugs be looked at quicker? I've had many issues which I've attached extensive information and even patches that have gone unresponded-to for months... | 05:27 |
| Hobbsee | possibly. quite unlikely | 05:27 |
| Hobbsee | the problem is that there are so many bugs for the kernel stuff, adn so few looking at them | 05:27 |
| Hobbsee | it tends to be judged by severity, rather than who reported them | 05:27 |
| thully | yes, this is more frustrating because -12 worked fine, and then -13 messed things up | 05:28 |
| lifeless | Hi thully | 05:28 |
| lifeless | there is a dedicated channel, ubuntu-kernel | 05:28 |
| thully | OK | 05:28 |
| lifeless | the kernel folk have two problems I know of | 05:29 |
| lifeless | one is sheer volume as Hobbsee | 05:29 |
| lifeless | says | 05:29 |
| Hobbsee | and the other is hardware-specific bugs, and not having access to the hardware? | 05:29 |
| lifeless | yah | 05:31 |
| lifeless | and also obviously destabilising things | 05:31 |
| lifeless | you don't want to break peter by breaking paul | 05:31 |
| lifeless | erm fix | 05:31 |
| lifeless | anyhow | 05:31 |
| lifeless | I've had things sit for months too | 05:31 |
| lifeless | and I work with the guys | 05:31 |
| lifeless | I find the best way, with kernel bugs, when the fix is known, is to get someones attention in #ubuntu-kernel, and say 'there is a fix, please look, tell me what is missing to be able to apply it' | 05:32 |
| thully | I guess i'm curious how I could look at the diffs between kernel revs and try reverting some of the patches. One of the -13 changes related to suspend/resume, and I'd like to try reverting that | 05:32 |

| Burgundavia | LaserJock: nah, it is live already :) | 09:01 |
| Burgundavia | don';t worry, mdke got it | 09:01 |
| LaserJock | pfft | 09:01 |
| Burgundavia | you can look at it if you want | 09:02 |
| Burgundavia | top story | 09:02 |
| Amaranth | Burgundavia: Why the hate on packagekit? :) | 09:02 |
| Amaranth | Burgundavia: It seems to be explicitly designed to replace gnome-app-install and update-manager | 09:02 |
| Burgundavia | Amaranth: not, it is designed to fit underneath them | 09:03 |
| Burgundavia | and I don't hate it | 09:03 |
| Burgundavia | just don't think it is good for hardy | 09:03 |
| Amaranth | I meant the GNOME UI they have for it | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | I was looking at packagekit yesterday | 09:03 |
| Amaranth | The whole idea came out of 'making gnome-app-install work everywhere' | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | or rather saw what it was and put on my list of "hmm, that could be interesting" | 09:03 |
| Burgundavia | well, tbh their UIs suck | 09:03 |
| === MacSlow [n=mirco@unaffiliated/macslow] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Burgundavia | g-a-i is much better | 09:03 |
| Burgundavia | they expose too much of the underlying package crap to the user | 09:04 |
| Amaranth | Burgundavia: But not much better and packagekit is only 6 week sold | 09:04 |
| Burgundavia | but that is something Fedora has always done | 09:04 |
| Amaranth | Burgundavia: So imagine what another couple months will do | 09:04 |
| Burgundavia | sadly, I consider that a spurious argument | 09:04 |
| Burgundavia | they had all the time to study every updater in existance | 09:04 |
| Burgundavia | and every pacakge installer | 09:04 |
| Burgundavia | and they still made the same mistakes | 09:04 |
| Amaranth | Well, the main problem is gnome-app-install uses a hack to do what it does | 09:05 |
| Burgundavia | I don't disagre | 09:05 |
| Burgundavia | but the UI is better than anything out there | 09:05 |
| Amaranth | it snags every .desktop from the entire archive and matches it to a package | 09:05 |
| Amaranth | that could be put in packagekit though | 09:05 |
| Burgundavia | without better package metadata, that problem is not going away | 09:05 |
| Burgundavia | package kit will not solve that | 09:05 |

| Burgundavia | having packagekit provide package metadata is pretty much the same thing as package information itself | 09:07 |
| === marcel__ [n=marcel@wc-50.r-195-35-150.atwork.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Burgundavia | packagekit should understand how to get that out of the distro, but it is the distro who needs how to figure out how to feed that to packagekit | 09:07 |
| Amaranth | I'm not understanding your problem with that | 09:09 |
| Burgundavia | packagekit, if it is to be adopted, needs to be a shim over existing packaging systems | 09:09 |
| Burgundavia | if it starts replacing bits of the packaging system too early, adoption will fail | 09:10 |
| Mithrandir | I must confess as to not understanding what problem PK is trying to solve | 09:10 |
| Burgundavia | one of those bits is package metadata | 09:10 |
| highvoltage | Burgundavia: read about the AppArmour layoffs? | 09:11 |
| Burgundavia | one problem would be to have a third party app be able to say "install java" and it just work on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. | 09:11 |
| Burgundavia | highvoltage: yep | 09:11 |
| Burgundavia | the other is for bigger projects like OO.o or GNOME be able to say "install this optional dep" | 09:12 |

| === onixpro [n=onixpro@89.113.86.193] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| Burgundavia | a 3rd major point is to move the idea of package stuff out of the distro silo | 09:12 |
| liw | I suspect that moving stuff out from distros will mean stuff won't be adhering to distro policies, meaning worse integration and interesting bugs during transitions, and longer transitions | 09:15 |
| === mpt [n=mpt@121-72-139-108.dsl.telstraclear.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Burgundavia | you are conflating the actual packaging with the UI bits that sit above them | 09:16 |
| Burgundavia | packagekit is designed to solve the latter, autopackage the former | 09:16 |
| mdke | liw: right. A good example is that the packagekit guys have recently been discussing questions about how easy it should be to add third party repositories which may endanger the system. Ubuntu developers have also been discussing the same thing, if they come to a different conclusion, how will the two be reconciled? | 09:16 |
| Amaranth | It's more or less so every distro can do what we do with 'find a package that handles this mimetype' | 09:16 |
| Amaranth | and cross-distro consistency with the updater UI and such | 09:17 |
| Burgundavia | because every distro rewriting the updater is crazy | 09:17 |
| Burgundavia | iven they all do 98% of the same thing | 09:17 |
| Amaranth | and if it gets to the level of gnome-app-install it's also so every distro has the same UI for installing applications | 09:18 |
| Amaranth | GUI applications, anyway | 09:18 |
| Amaranth | it's more or less everything we already do but with a better design and cross-distro | 09:18 |
| Burgundavia | means gnome-app-install can actually become a GNOME app | 09:18 |
| dholbach | the problem we have is that packages ask questions, that's not possible with packagekit in any way | 09:25 |
| Burgundavia | indeed, a serious issue | 09:26 |
| Burgundavia | the whole EULA thing is a bit messy as well | 09:26 |
| === imbrandon [n=brandon@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.imbrandon] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| liw | Burgundavia, hmm... if PackageKit helps move things out of the "distro silo", how does this not move things out of the control of the distro? | 09:28 |
| === timfrost [n=timfrost@125-238-34-112.broadband-telecom.global-gateway.net.nz] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| Burgundavia | liw: because the packaging itself and all those bits remain with teh distro | 09:29 |
| Burgundavia | PackageKit is mostly for the end-user facing apps | 09:29 |
| Burgundavia | ie: the updater and the equiv of gnome-app-install | 09:30 |
| Burgundavia | both of which could easily be on any LInux system, even a source based oen such as emerge | 09:30 |
| Amaranth | dholbach: Is dpkg the only package system that does that? | 09:30 |
| liw | Burgundavia, how does the packaging remain with the distro if the packages do not come from the distro? | 09:31 |
| Mithrandir | Amaranth: rpm doesn't allow it, at least. | 09:31 |
| Burgundavia | afaik, rpm devs have rejected the whole "rpm needs EULAs" stuff | 09:31 |
| Burgundavia | liw: no, you misunderstand | 09:31 |
| Amaranth | I only have basic understanding of rpm and don't know anything about conary | 09:31 |
| mdke | dholbach: technical problems can often be solved though; whereas if there is a problem with the model; i.e. policy decisions which should be taken by distros being taken in the upstream project, then that's harder to fix... | 09:31 |
| Burgundavia | this is a layer on top of the existing packaging system | 09:31 |
| liw | Burgundavia, I understand the layering | 09:31 |
| Amaranth | liw: This is gnome-app-install | 09:31 |
| Burgundavia | and update-manager | 09:32 |
| liw | I understand all that | 09:32 |
| Amaranth | liw: gnome-app-install just tells apt to install stuff (through synaptic) | 09:32 |
| Amaranth | liw: it doesn't do any packaging stuff | 09:32 |
| stgraber | pitti: fixed | 09:32 |
| Burgundavia | packagekit doesn't really how stuff gets installed | 09:32 |
| liw | I am discussing specifically the point of "distro silo" and making it common to install packages from outside the distro | 09:32 |
| Amaranth | liw: Why would this make it 'common to install packages from outside the distro'? | 09:32 |
| Burgundavia | most users do that anyway | 09:32 |
| Amaranth | liw: Any more than synaptic and gnome-app-install do | 09:33 |

| liw | yes, many users do that, and yes, it's possible with existing tools, but it's not a "major point" for them to make it easy for users to install packages from any random sites from the net, which is what I understood from Burgundavia's statement is one of the goals of PackageKit | 09:35 |
| Burgundavia | liw: umm, not really | 09:35 |
| === mvo [n=egon@p54A674EB.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdke | well, it's been discussed anyway | 09:35 |
| Burgundavia | the goal is to smooth out installs of packages | 09:35 |
| mdke | I don't know what the conclusions have been, they might be the same as Ubuntu's and they might not | 09:35 |
| Burgundavia | a common place to discuss is the server stuff | 09:35 |
| Burgundavia | such as IBM's db2 | 09:35 |
| Burgundavia | never going to be packaged for Ubuntu | 09:36 |
| Burgundavia | but what if it needs a dependency/ | 09:36 |
| Burgundavia | ? | 09:36 |
| pitti | stgraber: hm, ubuntu desktop is 16.1, although I added them as 16; alternates are 16.1, but don't show up | 09:36 |
| Burgundavia | with PK, they could create it so that it could install those deps by writing a single script, and not dozens | 09:36 |
| pitti | stgraber: I just tried to re-add 16 as desktop, but that doesn't seem to work? | 09:36 |
| pitti | stgraber: ubuntu alternates added | 09:37 |
| stgraber | pitti: ok, so I just have to change Ubuntu Desktop from 16.1 to 16 ? | 09:37 |
| pitti | stgraber: right | 09:38 |
| Mithrandir | Burgundavia: this is basically just LSB modules, again | 09:39 |
| liw | Mithrandir, yeah | 09:39 |
| Mithrandir | Burgundavia: also, DB2 is certified on Ubuntu. I would not be surprised if you could get .debs of it too | 09:40 |
| Burgundavia | yes, but unlike last time, this one might stick, as it is not parachuted in from above | 09:40 |
| fabbione | Burgundavia: db2 is packaged for dapper... | 09:41 |
| fabbione | Burgundavia: archive.canonical.com ? | 09:41 |
| Mithrandir | it seems very much so to me. I honestly don't see what problem it's trying to solve which isn't easier solved in other ways. | 09:41 |
| Burgundavia | which other ways? | 09:42 |
| Mithrandir | ship anything you need over LSB yourself. | 09:42 |
| stgraber | pitti: looking at the logs, you added the 20071016 Ubuntu desktop at 08:33:32, then the 16.1 at 20071016.1. So it doesn't let you add the Desktop ones again as they already exist on the DB. I'll simply hide the Ubuntu desktop 20071016.1 and show the 20071016 so if we have a 20071016.1 for Ubuntu desktop today we won't have to add them again but simply reactivate them | 09:42 |
| pitti | stgraber: hm, sorry if I screwed up; thanks for fixing | 09:43 |
| Burgundavia | LSB is a very static solution | 09:45 |
| stgraber | pitti: just ping me if you have to add a new Ubuntu Desktop set today (with version number 20071016.1) so I simply reactivate the 20071016.1 ones instead of creating them again | 09:45 |
| pitti | stgraber: I will, thanks (let's hope it's not necessary, though :) | 09:45 |
| stgraber | yes :) | 09:45 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, ping | 12:18 |
| pitti | hi tkamppeter | 12:18 |
| tkamppeter | about bug 152293, are you sure that you have the 3ubuntu10? | 12:19 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 152293 in cups-pdf "cups-pdf 2.4.6-3ubuntu9 doesn't create PDF-queue" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/152293 | 12:19 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I have whatever is on the current CDs, but that should be 10 | 12:20 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I'm currently doing two more test installs (alternate this time); I'll check with those, too | 12:20 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so then it seems that the CUPS startup script exits and the daemon still takes an unreasonably long time to start listening. Then the cups-pdf package would need to launch a background process to wait for CUPS in a loop to create the queue, which can happen half an hour later, if needed. | 12:22 |
| === TheMuso [n=luke@ubuntu/member/themuso] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | tkamppeter: it would be interesting to compare various installations; if it's a race condition, I might just have been unlucky | 12:23 |
| === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| === soren -> lunch | ||
| liw | arguably the cups startup script should wait until it's been started | 12:23 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, the case that it happens seems to be rare at least, otherwise the problem had been reported earlier. I always got a queue (my network has 2 computers, 5 printers, and ~10 queues). | 12:24 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: *nod* | 12:25 |
| === milli [n=milli@famfrit.acmeps.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | tkamppeter: I'm doing several vmware installs in parallel, so it's slow and latent | 12:25 |
| tkamppeter | liw, years ago I had a similar problem and had reported an upstream bug then, which got actually fixed. Seems that now there are new discrepancies. | 12:26 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, and I have only native installations ... | 12:27 |
| asac | stgraber: i commented on it ... yes, just the trash. | 12:27 |
| asac | stgraber: its not marked as serious of course | 12:27 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, and there are two cases: "force-reload" probably does a "kill -something" on the CUPS daemon and "kill" does not wait for reactions, but "restart" actually kills CUPS and then runs "cupsd", and the command "cupsd" probably really only exits if CUPS really starts to listen. | 12:29 |
| asac | ok bad news ... edubuntu install leaves me with a broken X ... ending in a console session :( | 12:31 |
| pitti | eww | 12:32 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so a proposed fix could be to not call "/etc/init.d/cupsd force-reload", but this would go directly into the higher impact restart, which kills running print jobs ... | 12:32 |
| asac | pitti: .. so here what i did: i did a live session and tried to enable desktop effects before install. live session downloaded nvidia driver ... now xorg.conf has nvidia driver, but nvidia glx is not installed | 12:34 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, but is restarting of CUPS required at all? From CUPS 1.2 on (we are at 1.3 already) adding a backend and/or a PPD does not require restarting CUPS, why does this package restart CUPS at all ...? | 12:35 |
| === amitk [n=amit@a91-154-119-106.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| pitti | tkamppeter: don't ask me :) worth trying, I figure; if lpinfo -v picks up new backends without restart, that would be great | 12:35 |
| asac | cjwatson: evand: what info do you need before i reboot (read a few lines above) | 12:37 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, that is the case, replace the unconditional restarting by starting if it is not running and nuke the "sleep 3". Starting CUPS with "/ect/init.d/cupsys start" exits only when CUPS starts to listen (or when CUPS fails). | 12:37 |

| cjwatson_ | asac: if you've rebooted into the installed system, everything in /var/log/installer/ | 12:44 |

| asac | cjwatson_: no ... i have rebooted. live-sessino worked | 12:47 |
| asac | ogra: yes ... livecd | 12:48 |
| asac | cjwatson_: i can probably reproduce that if you want | 12:48 |
| asac | cjwatson_: but let me first file the bug ... which package? | 12:48 |
| cjwatson_ | err | 12:48 |
| cjwatson_ | restricted-manager I think | 12:48 |
| cjwatson_ | though it could be ubiquity | 12:48 |
| asac | hmm ... i will use both then :) | 12:49 |
| cjwatson_ | pitti: I note that the update_installed_packages function doesn't close the filehandle - relying on Python's garbage collection to do that for you in a timely fashion isn't reliable | 12:49 |
| cjwatson_ | Python code should generally do an explicit f.close() | 12:49 |

| cjwatson_ | asac: was this a networkless install? | 01:16 |
| cjwatson_ | hmm, apt-install perhaps needs to learn how to queue until after apt-setup | 01:17 |
| asac_ | cjwatson_: no the network worked through network manager ... the driver was successfully downloaded and insatlled during live-session | 01:18 |
| cjwatson_ | asac_: in addition to installed_packages, could I also have /var/lib/ubiquity/apt-installed? | 01:20 |
| asac_ | cjwatson_: from live session? | 01:21 |
| cjwatson_ | yes | 01:21 |
| cjwatson_ | both | 01:21 |
| cjwatson_ | I wonder if install_extras is just broken | 01:21 |
| cjwatson_ | oh, nvidia-glx* isn't on the Edubuntu CD | 01:22 |
| cjwatson_ | fixing this properly will probably have to wait for networkless-installation-fixes in hardy; any attempt to fix it now stands a good chance of breaking other things :-( | 01:23 |
| asac_ | cjwatson_: isn|t it non-free? | 01:23 |
| cjwatson_ | we have other restricted packages on our CDs | 01:23 |
| cjwatson_ | it's a real bug, but that code is horribly, horribly hairy and prone to breakage. I patched it up as best we could for gutsy | 01:25 |
| asac | cjwatson_: well ... but ending up in a console because one tried to enable desktop effects is really a show stopper imo ... given that most nvidia cards are probably affected | 01:27 |
| asac | cjwatson_: maybe we can prevent nvidia drivers to be installed during live session as a hack? | 01:27 |

| cjwatson_ | Kmos: yep, feisty-updates never got created. don't worry about it. | 03:40 |
| Kmos | cjwatson_: ok :) | 03:41 |
| cjwatson_ | we only created gutsy-updates so that we had something to punt not-for-final-release bugs to in the release crunch | 03:41 |
| cjwatson_ | we didn't have a need for that in the feisty cycle | 03:41 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson_: when were you planning to add the hardy milestones, btw? | 03:41 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson_: and nominate for hardy? | 03:42 |
| cjwatson_ | Hobbsee: can't do it until gutsy is released | 03:42 |

| Kopfgeldjaeger | hi (amsg) | 03:45 |
| jdong | cjwatson_: ok, thanks for the tip | 03:46 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson_: is there a list of what the dpkg error codes are, and what they all mean? dpkg(1) doesnt show anything of interest. | 03:46 |
| === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter | ||
| cjwatson_ | Hobbsee: they aren't dpkg error codes. | 03:47 |
| cjwatson_ | as in, they're not things returned by dpkg itself. dpkg just passes them through. they could be anything, based on what the maintainer script does. | 03:47 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson_: yeah, that. which would explain them not being in dpkg(1) | 03:47 |
| cjwatson_ | The debconf status codes are documented in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/debconf_specification.html | 03:48 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, how important is a thing like bug 153218 for updating from Feisty to Gutsy? The -doc is not on the CDs, but for updates via the internet it can perhaps be a problem. | 03:48 |
| cjwatson_ | but it's entirely possible for a maintainer script to return anything it likes. e.g. "exit 253" | 03:48 |

| cjwatson_ | jazzanova: it means that the bug doesn't need to be tracked both in the upstream project and in Ubuntu; since Scott is the upstream maintainer as well as the Ubuntu maintainer, he made a decision to track it in just one place | 04:03 |

| pitti | tkamppeter: you mailed him already, so that's fine | 05:48 |

| psusi | siretart: I am arguing that it seems to be a lot more complicated way to achieve that set of goals | 05:48 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, OK, thanks. Informing the users is important in such a situation. Too bad that users start testing only after takeoff. | 05:49 |
| psusi | iwj: you mean to like a public write only upload directory? then just unpack that source tarball over a git checkout of the starting version, and commit to a new branch | 05:49 |
| siretart | psusi: I have the impression you haven't had the chance to maintain large packages with extensive patchsets yet. | 05:49 |
| tkamppeter | I have the fealing that I got more and more reports of important bugs the closer it came to release. | 05:49 |
| psusi | iwj: can be automated and then the person who doesnt know about git doesn't have to have it or download the full repository to hack on the source | 05:50 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: yeah, the old chicken-egg problem with testing :/ | 05:50 |
| psusi | if the goal is to get rid of dpatch to make it easier to extract the actual working source and tinker, why replace dpatch with git? | 05:50 |
| iwj | psusi: How would you know what the "original version" was ? | 05:51 |
| psusi | siretart: true... but I do track the kernel git tree regularly and have worked on a few packages in ubuntu that have a fair number of dpatches | 05:51 |

| psusi | iwj: because it's in the .changes | 05:51 |
| psusi | and debian/changelog | 05:52 |
| iwj | .changes is no good since the next person doesn't get it. changelog might work. | 05:52 |
| psusi | why would the next person need it? | 05:53 |
| psusi | it's only needed by the ftpmaster to decide which version to check out and unpack this source package over | 05:53 |
| iwj | Oh, you want the ftp scripts to do it. | 05:54 |
| psusi | yea, the nmu can just get the current source tree, hack it it, upload it, and the ftp scripts can auto commit the changes to a new branch in the vcs | 05:54 |
| iwj | I'm not wedded to the proposal from Joey. If you'd like to sketch out your alternative proposal more fully I'm sure people would be happy to hear it. I don't think I can do a detailed analysis of it here though. | 05:54 |
| psusi | for someone with commit access to the master branch to review and merge | 05:55 |

| === holycow [n=start@S01060016b6b53675.vf.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| iwj | Note that your proposal seems to make the VCS repos much more tightly bound to the whole setup. ATM they're kind of offstage. That may not be a bad thing but it has political implications. I think you should think it through and write it up. | 05:55 |
| psusi | yea, because the ftp scripts will still have to pull from the git repo they upload anyhow | 05:55 |
| psusi | ok | 05:56 |
| === ringe [n=runar@ti531210a080-9260.bb.online.no] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| psusi | ohh, so his proprosal would throw out the sideline vcs repositories | 05:56 |
| psusi | and just keep a copy of the git repo in each versioned source package? | 05:56 |
| iwj | Well, err, in some sense, yes. | 05:56 |
| psusi | what a colossal duplicate of data... and of course, it also doesn't allow people to collaborte committing smaller patches between releases | 05:57 |
| siretart | psusi: does your proposal include having the complete archive managed in git repositories? | 05:57 |
| iwj | Not to say you can't have unofficial separate repos but they'd be more like unofficial separate branches. They'd be in the same position as a current VCSless maintainer's random being-edited work-in-progress unpacked package. | 05:57 |
| === fcestrada [n=fcestrad@189.141.235.49] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| psusi | siretart: yea, if you like git, then I say just have a git repository that auto export/imports release branches to/from the source ftp archive, rather than pack the whole git repository into each source archive | 05:58 |
| iwj | psusi: Also note that you shouldn't just say "git". People get religious about this kind of thing, so if you want to talk in terms of git you should at least say "I'm going to talk about git but other VCSes should be supported" or something near the bottom to avoid getting sidetracked. | 05:58 |
| siretart | psusi: I'm not sold to git at all. In fact, I'm still trying to get myself used to it, but I don't think I'll ever love it. It seems to me that your proposal is going to force every uploader to the archive to use git, which is a, errrm, unrealistic assumption | 05:59 |
| psusi | iwj: well, not quite... if the maintainer decides to use the git repo, then maintainers of the package should be using the central git repo... that allows them to make and share incrimental patches between releases | 05:59 |
| psusi | then when the maintainer decides it's time for release... he tags it and it's exported to the ftp archive | 05:59 |
| psusi | yea, I'm talking git because 1) I'm familliar with it and 2) this patch being discussed talks about it heavily | 06:00 |
| iwj | psusi: Yes. That puts the whole group of them together in the position of a single VCSless maintainer, which is obviously good. | 06:00 |
| psusi | siretart: it would be up to each package maintqainer which vcs they want to use | 06:00 |
| cjwatson_ | (in particular you don't need to be sold on git because I wrote a bzr backend for Joey's code.) | 06:00 |
| iwj | I mean, that's why people do it :-). But the question is how to make this more accessible to others. | 06:00 |
| siretart | psusi: however, on the 2nd thought, it seems to me that your proposal could be useful for a potential (small) derivative distribution, which needs to track changes in debian. | 06:01 |

| cjwatson_ | psusi: FWIW, in Joey's proposal, source packages typically shrink, not grow. | 06:02 |
| Hobbsee | ringe: do you have linux-u-m installed? | 06:02 |
| cjwatson_ | psusi: (though with bzr the result would be a little bit bigger than before, but not massively so. git's packing is a bit more efficient) | 06:02 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: I have just installed from the Beta CD, then kept up to date with update-manager | 06:02 |
| psusi | cjwatson_: I saw him claim that but I can not believe it... you can not ADD information to the package and have it come out smaller | 06:02 |
| cjwatson_ | psusi: you apparently believe that gzip compression is perfect | 06:02 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: 2.6.22-12 works good, not 2.6.22-13 or -14 | 06:03 |
| cjwatson_ | psusi: it's entirely sensible to believe that different encodings will come out differently | 06:03 |
| psusi | cjwatson_: eh? gzip is used either way... | 06:03 |
| cjwatson_ | psusi: in any case you don't have to believe or disbelieve. you can try it. | 06:03 |
| psusi | in fact, source packages can use bzip2 | 06:03 |
| Hobbsee | ringe: okay, so do you have l-u-m installed for the later kernels? | 06:03 |
| cjwatson_ | or perhaps that is too much effort | 06:03 |
| psusi | git can only use gzip afaik | 06:03 |
| cjwatson_ | source packages can't use bzip2 in the current format unless they use bzip2-in-tar-gz | 06:04 |
| psusi | so I don't see how you can save space by switching to a less effective algorithm and adding more data | 06:04 |
| psusi | huh? the .deb can contain a .tar.bz2 instead of a .tar.gz | 06:04 |
| cjwatson_ | a .deb is not a source package. | 06:04 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: No I didn't - why isn't that package upgraded? | 06:05 |
| psusi | ohh, so only the binary packages can use bz2? | 06:05 |
| cjwatson_ | correct | 06:05 |
| Hobbsee | oh, headdesk. | 06:05 |
| psusi | ok... didn't know that... but git still also uses gzip, so same compression | 06:05 |
| Hobbsee | is that why people are reporting problems/ | 06:05 |

| === norsetto [n=norsetto@host42-58-dynamic.6-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mertiki | Riddell : The /etc/qt3 folder in Gutsy has very low permissions because it's not created by the installation of the libqt3-mt package. So if Gutsy is released with the /etc/qt3 folder with very low permissions, the libqt3-mt package won't install correctly same with my patch | 06:10 |
| psusi | cjwatson_: yea, but how can adding the 200 commits to the current source code result in less data? | 06:11 |
| mertiki | /etc/qt3 folder should be created by libqt3-mt, and the previous package before my patch didn't create it in Gutsy | 06:11 |
| cjwatson_ | psusi: again, you desperately need to read the post | 06:11 |
| cjwatson_ | your premise is false | 06:11 |
| cjwatson_ | http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/an_evolutionary_change_to_the_Debian_source_package_format/ | 06:12 |
| Riddell | mertiki: ok, but why can't it can be fixed in an update? | 06:12 |
| mertiki | Riddell : Because each update in Gutsy would need to change the permissions of the /etc/qt3 folder in order to install correctly. | 06:12 |
| psusi | is he not claiming that by switching the source package from containing a .tar.gz to a .git.tar.gz he saved space somehow? | 06:13 |

| === jazzanova [n=boris@69.72.214.226] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| cjwatson_ | I don't understand this point about permissions of /etc/qt3. dpkg runs as root and permissions do not impede it | 06:15 |
| psusi | cjwatson_: right... and he is saying that worked out smaller than the current package is he not? | 06:15 |
| cjwatson_ | psusi: "only package/.git/*" | 06:15 |
| psusi | cjwatson_: aye... I am calling bs on that | 06:15 |
| Hobbsee | did we not seed linux-image-generic in pre-gutsy or something? or equivalent image? | 06:15 |
| pitti | mertiki: since that new package needs to handle upgrades anyway, I don't see why doing it as an SRU isn't possible | 06:15 |
| cjwatson_ | psusi: this is science, not religion. it doesn't count unless you put in the effort to reproduce it. | 06:16 |
| psusi | I just pulled the dmraid package into a git repo without any history... the size of just package/.git is significantly larger than the original source package | 06:16 |
| mertiki | cjwatson : I'm not an expert, but the package won't create config files in /etc/qt3 with the actual folder permissions, but it will if the folder has normal root permissions | 06:16 |

| mertiki | pitti : Ok, so if you all consider that this doesn't cause any problems, that's alright. I just wanted to explain you the problem. It's clear if the package is released as and update that further work will be required on this. | 06:20 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: I am concerned since this bug is not given critical priority - it's a clear blocker | 06:20 |
| Hobbsee | ringe: it's somewhat of a local problem | 06:20 |
| pitti | mertiki: right, no argument on that (the current patch doesn't handle upgrades) | 06:20 |
| cjwatson_ | Hobbsee: linux-generic should've been seeded for some time | 06:20 |
| pitti | mertiki: but AFAICS that additional work would be required even for an upload into gutsy proper | 06:20 |

| ringe | Hobbsee: I don't see why a whole range of wireless enabled laptops without wireless support is "local" | 06:21 |

| Hobbsee | ringe: FYI, if my ipw3945 card wasnt working, i wouldnt be talking to you now. nor would a lot of other people on irc. | 06:21 |
| cjwatson_ | ringe: we know about the audio drivers - problem is that fixing them breaks other stuff, so instead, it'll be handled in linux-backports-modules | 06:21 |
| mertiki | pitti : Ok good, so should everything is already specified in the bug report, should-I do something else around that or everything is Ok? | 06:22 |
| Hobbsee | ringe: and that link you provided shows no mention of l-u-m being installed at all. | 06:22 |
| pitti | mertiki: I didn't read it entirely yet, but I don't think it has a clear strategy how to fix upgrades? | 06:22 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: I'm at ipw3945 myself, running 2.6.22-12 - and I just installed the l-u-m as you said without it fixing the missing files problem | 06:22 |
| cjwatson_ | you need to install the matching l-u-m | 06:23 |
| pitti | mertiki: in particular, the package maintainer scripts must not touch anything in /home/ | 06:23 |
| Hobbsee | ringe: stupid question, but you used locate to check for the new files? | 06:23 |
| cjwatson_ | so linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic | 06:23 |
| pitti | mertiki: so that'd boil down to some code changes | 06:23 |
| cjwatson_ | which probably isn't in the archive any more; upgrade :-) | 06:23 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson_: why do so many people seem to be on linux-image-386? | 06:23 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: sorry, I'm stupid - the files are there now. But why aren't they loaded with -14? | 06:24 |
| mertiki | pitti : the patch has just one line, and changes a single file in the debian folder of the package which allows the package to create is config files in the /etc/qt3 folder. This is a fix based on the Feisty package which was Ok. | 06:24 |
| cjwatson_ | Hobbsee: perhaps because they have hardware that doesn't support -generic | 06:24 |
| pitti | mertiki: right | 06:24 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: and why aren't they automatically installed? | 06:24 |
| pitti | mertiki: I'm talking about an upgrade path for people who already have the root-owned ~/.qt | 06:24 |
| cjwatson_ | ringe: they normally are ... | 06:24 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson_: seems like a higher proportion than expected, though, looking at userland | 06:24 |
| Hobbsee | ringe: good question. see my last comment on the bug report | 06:25 |
| cjwatson_ | Hobbsee: there was also a base-installer bug that treated some old Via C3s as needing -386 when actually -generic is fine | 06:25 |
| Hobbsee | did you have linux-image-generic installed? | 06:25 |
| Hobbsee | This gets installed with the gutsy cds - is this an upgrade bug only? | 06:25 |
| ringe | cjwatson_: I installed the BETA clean, and upgraded from there. What's not normal then? | 06:25 |

| cjwatson_ | ringe: /var/log/installer/* | 06:25 |

| Hobbsee | in which case, what's update-manager got to do with it? | 06:42 |
| mvo | ringe: update-manager will ensure this in release upgrade mode, but not in regular update mode (as in the regular update mode this situation can only occur if a) a devel release is used b) non-standard sources are used c) the user decided to go without -generic (or -386 etc) | 06:42 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: Nothing much. I just figured update-manager would do users a favor if checking for the linux-image package | 06:42 |
| ringe | mvo: hmm. There are two questions: why did the missing linux-image become missing in the first place, then what should update-manager do about it if it occurs? | 06:44 |
| ringe | I don't know the answer to the first question, since this simply is a fresh install. The answer to the second is that bug I just filed. | 06:44 |
| cjwatson_ | ringe: not seeing anything in that log about why it wasn't installed, but I suspect it must have been a transient problem with that particular CD image | 06:44 |
| cjwatson_ | daily builds can be like that sometimes | 06:44 |
| === Hobbsee thinks update manager should check for a whole lot of stuff, so users cant do stupid things. | ||
| cjwatson_ | ringe: no, you didn't install with the beta CD, or at least that's not what your logs say | 06:45 |
| cjwatson_ | 'Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Alpha i386 (20070823.5)' | 06:45 |
| cjwatson_ | that's over a month before beta | 06:45 |
| mvo | ringe: the question why it went missing might be answered with /var/log/apt/term.log. what it should do? IMO it should do nothing because it can't tell if the user did not decided against this kernel for some reason.this is a different matter for feisty->gutsy upgrades, here it should (and will) ensure that linux-image-$flavor is installed (unless the user uses a self compiled kernel) | 06:45 |
| cjwatson_ | it looks like you actually used Tribe 5 | 06:46 |
| ringe | Hobbsee: I think we must be careful not to make update-manager become windows update with the trust problem | 06:47 |
| ringe | cjwatson_: Hmm, you're right. | 06:47 |
| cjwatson_ | the livefs log for Tribe 5 shows that linux-ubuntu-modules was installed | 06:47 |
| cjwatson_ | http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/gutsy/ubuntu/20070823.4/livecd-20070823.4-i386.out | 06:47 |
| cjwatson_ | (note: livefs build numbers don't always correspond exactly to CD build numbers) | 06:47 |
| ringe | cjwatson_: so any update after that removed it then? | 06:48 |
| cjwatson_ | I guess it must have done; the installer didn't | 06:48 |
| ringe | Well, at least that' | 06:48 |
| cjwatson_ | it logs the packages it removes, and it didn't mention that | 06:48 |
| ringe | good, then | 06:48 |

| ogra | thully, ? | 08:39 |
| calc | Riddell: huh? still reading the bug, i am confused as to what bug this is | 08:40 |
| thully | yes, I have a g-p-m bug that I've been trying to get someone to look at | 08:40 |
| thully | I have a patch for it - but I don't know if my patch is perfect... | 08:40 |
| calc | Riddell: oh i see after reading the report :) | 08:51 |
| ogra | thully, a bit late for the release though, whats the bug # ? | 08:51 |
| ScottK | YokoZa1: Generally "Fix Committed" means a fix is uploaded somewhere (could be just in a VCS, not in a release yet), but there's a fix somewhere that will eventually arrive in a development version of Ubuntu. | 08:51 |

| ScottK | YokoZa1: Fix Released means it's uploaded to an Ubuntu repository (modulo time for the buildd's to build it and the mirrors to mirror it) and available. | 08:51 |
| calc | Riddell: would a SRU to just fix the branding bmp even be accepted, it doesn't seem clear it would from the SRU wiki page.. | 08:51 |
| thully | to reproduce it, tune your brightness manually below maximum and wait (on AC, with default g-p-m settings) | 08:51 |
| thully | the "adjust brightness" function is apparently called on idle regardless of "dim on idle" setting - and with that off, it uses the default brightness (maximum) as the "dim" setting | 08:51 |

| ogra | not to minimum ... | 09:00 |
| ogra | but pretty low | 09:00 |
| thully | OK | 09:00 |
| ogra | oh, its actually minimum | 09:00 |
| thully | brightness is handled by g-p-m for you, right - not by hardware? | 09:00 |
| thully | (i.e. you see a g-p-m display when you use the brightness keys, and not a hardware-specific display) | 09:02 |
| slangasek | evand: I'm told that Gobuntu should have a separate email announcement for ubuntu-announce, because it's separate in many respects | 09:02 |
| evand | ok | 09:02 |
| ogra | thully, no idea really (and i'm quite busy with final iso testing atm) it doesnt really matter as i said, lets see that we get a test package into -proposed and put it into an SRU for g-p-m | 09:03 |
| thully | OK | 09:04 |
| ogra | if it fixes the issue for all others in a testpackage we can pull it in ... but we need some feedback | 09:04 |
| thully | One question - are the daily builds out now = Gutsy final barring a catastrophe? | 09:05 |
| slangasek | tkamppeter: I'm not sure it's a good idea to tell folks in the release notes "if you run into any printing problems, try to deactivate AppArmor for cups", I think that leads folks to not bother reporting bugs we don't know about... | 09:07 |

| slangasek | tkamppeter: um, I specifically didn't use System -> Administration -> Printing though, because AFAIK that's not present under Kubuntu? | 11:42 |
| tkamppeter | slangasek, I have changed your text again, selcting only one printer setup tool for describing a way to fix the problem of the missing PDF printer I selected system-config-printer due to the fact that the web interface will ask for login and password after setting up the queue. | 11:43 |
| slangasek | it will? | 11:44 |
| pitti | slangasek: (NB that system-config-printer is not for KDE and not installed by default on Kubuntu) | 11:44 |
| slangasek | pitti: yes, that's precisely my point | 11:45 |
| tkamppeter | slangasek, and even worse, if you start it with http://... and not with https://... it will autoswitch to https://... in the end of the add printer wizard forgetting all enterd data, throughing the user back to the start page. | 11:45 |
| pitti | ah, right, it's for cups-pdf | 11:45 |
| slangasek | tkamppeter: well the release notes didn't say http://, they said https:// | 11:45 |
| tkamppeter | slanagsek, sorry, then one of the quirks I already worked around in my original text, but there is still the password issue. | 11:46 |
| slangasek | ok | 11:47 |
| tkamppeter | slangasek, pitti, is cups-pdf also installed/available in Kubuntu or any other Ubuntu flavor which does not ship system-config-printer? | 11:47 |
| slangasek | yes, cups-pdf is a recommends of kubuntu-desktop | 11:48 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: it's not enough to apt-get install --reinstall cups-pdf, or so? | 11:48 |
| slangasek | all the other desktop tasks use system-config-printer though | 11:48 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, by repeatedly doing this you can get lucky that CUPS will pick up once, but also not ... | 11:49 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: also, we'll fix it in an SRU very early; I don't think that this is a real frontline feature that a lot of people will immediately miss | 11:49 |
| slangasek | pitti: would you prefer not to release-note it? | 11:50 |
| === frostburn [n=frostbur@cpe-74-74-219-225.rochester.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tkamppeter | So this means in the release notes you cannot give workarounds to users based on GUI tools, as Kubuntu has a completely different set of GUI tools? | 11:50 |
| slangasek | no, it just means we should be aware of this when picking workarounds to document | 11:50 |
| pitti | slangasek: I'd say it depends on the number of caveats that are on the page; it shouldn't be more than a handful | 11:51 |
| tkamppeter | So I suggest to perhaps have to release note files, one for Kubuntu, another for the rest | 11:51 |
| === macd [n=d@cl-151.ewr-01.us.sixxs.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| slangasek | pitti: we already have quite a few | 11:51 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: no, that's fine, since Kubuntu has its own web page (including caveats) | 11:51 |
| pitti | slangasek: we probably have hundreds of caveats at this level :) | 11:51 |
| slangasek | pitti: "its own web page" including the release notes? | 11:53 |
| === FireRabbit [n=FireRabb@216.127.61.152] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| pitti | slangasek: well, I mean the "Caveats" section of the announcement page; you mean something else? | 11:53 |
| slangasek | pitti: this is the release notes that I'm talking about | 11:54 |
| pitti | ah, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/ReleaseNotes ? | 11:56 |
| slangasek | yes | 11:56 |
| tkamppeter | Does Kubuntu have a menu entry System -> Administration -> Printing? As I did not say "system-config-printer" in my text it will perhaps fit. | 11:57 |
| pitti | Riddell: ^ | 11:58 |
| Riddell | no, k-menu -> System Settings -> Printers | 11:59 |
| Riddell | although I don't know if you can install the CUPS pdf device from that (KDE has its own built in one of course) | 11:59 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: wouldn't help you much anyway, I figure, since the workflow within the printer tool is completely different | 11:59 |

| === minghua [i=minghua@ubuntu/member/minghua] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tkamppeter | Riddell, if the KDE Printing manager shows all entries of "lpinfo -v" it will be able to set up the PDF printer, especially because cups-pdf ships the PPD ready-made and not a PPD generator. | 12:02 |
| === persia [n=persia@ubuntu/member/persia] has left #ubuntu-devel [] | ||
| tkamppeter | Does Kubuntu exclusively ship KDE apps, all having the KDE printing dialog with built-in PDF (so no Firefox, Thunderbird, ...)? In this case one could remove cups-pdf from Kubuntu. | 12:05 |
| Riddell | it does (plus openoffice which won't need it), but people also install firefox and thunderbird | 12:06 |
| === svolpe_gerrath [n=Gerrath_@unaffiliated/gerrath] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Riddell | not that I'm too fussed if the release notes don't have a KDE fix, as you say it's KDE's fault for being behind on printing | 12:06 |

| tkamppeter | slangasek, I hope app developers (esp. Firefox/thunderbird) will allow us to do away with cups-pdf in all our flavors in Hardy or at least Hardy+1. | 12:08 |
| === predius_ [n=predius@190.8.154.185] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tkamppeter | Riddell, WDYT, should we describe both the GNOME and the KDE way to set up a PDF printer in the release notes, or should we have separate release notes for KDE (in that ones one can also drop the two points about users-admin). | 12:10 |
| pitti | well, IMHO the release notes are full enough already; it's just a race condition of a relatively minor feature which is a perfect SRU candidate, so I wouldn't worry about it too much; just my 2, of course | 12:11 |
| pitti | and it only happens on really slow machines | 12:11 |
| pitti | my 'two vmware installs and a CD burn in parallel' use case isn't really typical, I'd hope | 12:12 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: and I doubt that it affects desktop installs in the first place | 12:12 |
| pitti | (just alternate) | 12:12 |
| slangasek | why would that be? | 12:12 |
| slangasek | I mean, I tend to agree with you that we can probably do without documenting this one | 12:12 |
| slangasek | but I don't see why it would be specific to alternates | 12:12 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, so my "sleep 3" will probably help in 99% of the cases. | 12:13 |
| pitti | well, the PDF queue shuold be created at livefs build time, not when the user installs the system with ubiquity, or am I totally wrong here? | 12:13 |
| Riddell | tkamppeter: since I don't know of any GUI workaround in KDE, I would just leave it out | 12:13 |
| slangasek | pitti: oh, perhaps it would at that | 12:13 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, are print queues from livefs transferred to the ubiquity-installed system on the hard disk? | 12:14 |
| tkamppeter | Riddell, you mean points as users-admin points, so that the release notes are fine for you becuase there are no KDE issues worth to document? | 12:15 |
| pitti | so merely testing if it is present on the current live CDs ought to be sufficient? | 12:16 |
| pitti | s/live/desktop/ | 12:16 |
| pitti | .. in the live systems | 12:16 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: not the ones you create *in* the live system | 12:16 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: but AFAICS the default printers.conf from livefs build time shuold be copied? | 12:16 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: when we do an ubiquity install, that doesn't run any postinsts | 12:16 |
| pitti | that's all done in the livefs build | 12:16 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, then you should run a certain amount of the same live CD build and check whether every build has a PDF queue, as otherwise we are either lucky and 100% of our users have a PDF queue or no one (for each flavor). | 12:19 |
| Riddell | tkamppeter: the users-admin release note is slightly different, there it is the gnome tool which is broken but the KDE tool is fine so no need to mention KDE, with cups-pdf I don't see a workaround for KDE so I'd just leave out any mention of KDE since there's not much a user can do | 12:19 |

| pitti | tkamppeter, slangasek: hm, neither i386 nor amd64 lives have the PDF queue | 12:22 |
| slangasek | in the images? | 12:22 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, can it be that the installation of the CD building progress is much slower than an alternative CD installation (or even the single-package installation which I did)? | 12:23 |
| pitti | Setting up cups-pdf (2.4.6-3ubuntu10) ... | 12:23 |
| pitti | is all the log says | 12:24 |
| pitti | there's no debugging info or error reporting | 12:24 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: very well possible that cupsd does not even start | 12:25 |
| slangasek | heh | 12:25 |
| pitti | the livefs build machinery might have a daemon-suppressing policy-rc.d, I don't know | 12:25 |

| tkamppeter_ | pitti, the postinst script of cups-pdf restarts CUPS and this should at least say something like "restarting CUPS". Can it be that in an initial installation where all packages get installed at once, cups-pdf is installed before CUPS? | 12:33 |
| tkamppeter_ | cups-pdf depends on cupsys, does this not mean that the cupsys installation has to be completed before the cups-pdf installation starts? | 12:33 |
| tkamppeter_ | And what does the "Pre-Depends: cupsys (>= 1.1.15)" mean? | 12:33 |
