RAOFtkooda: Does it work if you use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot?00:00
tkoodanope.  `dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot` fails (both as user and root)00:01
tkooda..also seems kinda* odd that the package version is 1.6.0, but the sources are 1.7.2..00:02
tkoodait dosn't appear to use fakeroot by default, either00:03
StevenKtkooda: Which means 1.7.2-1 was automatically synced from Debian, but it doesn't build.00:03
RAOFOh, yeah.  Looks like runit's been failing to build since 1.5.1-1 :)00:04

jdonghow lovely.00:05
tkoodaheh00:05
RAOFThat'd be in make check, right?00:05
tkoodagoogle turned up some very old suggestion about omitting "-fomit-frame-pointer"?00:05
tkoodaraof, yes00:05
StevenKSo disable make check, and it'll build?00:05
* StevenK hides00:05
tkoodaheh00:05
* RAOF hunts00:05
StevenKRAOF: For the segfault, or me? :-)00:07
RAOFFor *you*.00:08
RAOFI'd suggest gdb for the segfault, unless their code is fragile enough that leaving the frame pointer in fixes it.00:09
StevenKWhich just points the finger at upstream being unable to code.00:09
RAOFActually, if their code's fragile enough that it doesn't work unless the frame pointer doesn't get removed, I'd seriously consider using something else.00:10
StevenKLike upstart? :-)00:10
RAOFOh, wow.00:10

RAOFAnd xUnit is a whole family of them.00:12
tkoodaany chance of getting a patch for "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/runit/+bug/74135" merged at the same time?  (inittab -> upstart)00:12
ubotuLaunchpad bug 74135 in runit "runsvdir does not use upstart" [Medium,Confirmed]00:12
ajmitchperhaps runit should be called runstuff?00:12

tkoodaI don't care if it's called bannanna-ramma, as long as the damned thing builds.  :P00:13

RAOFtkooda: You're very welcome to fix the FTBFS, apply whatever (sane) patches you like, and attach a debdiff to a bug :)00:15
StevenKWhy anyone would want to switch to runit from upstart is beyond me00:15

tkooda(vs inittab)00:17
StevenKtkooda: I still fail to see your reason.00:18
RAOFEspecially since their test program segfaults.  That's not what *I* look for in my init program :)00:20
StevenKMuahaha00:20
tkoodanot runit-as-process-1, but having upstart launch runit to run my numerous daemontools/runit service dirs.00:21
StevenKtkooda: But upstart can do that itself00:22
tkoodacan upstart do seperate logging processes per-service like runit+svlogd?00:22
=== chuck__ is now known as zul
tkoodaupstream runit-1.7.2 builds+checks okay..  wtf is going wrong in the build process to cause the check to segfault?00:26
mathiazScottK: you mentionned at UDS that cyrus sasl should be dropped from main, and dovecot sasl should be used instead. Why ?00:29
tkoodaStevenK, upstart can let me pipe the output of a service to another process (that it runs+supervises)?00:29
StevenKtkooda: upstart can supervise itself, but logging I'm unsure about00:31
tkoodaI don't think I have the time/skill to fix the 'runit' FTBFS.. so I guess it'll just stay broken until the package maintainer get's around to it (last mod was ~1yr ago?)00:37

tkoodajdong, done:  http://devsec.org/tmp/runit-1.7.2.buildfix-1.diff  <-- "fixes" FTBFS in runit-1.7.2; just cheap trick of using gcc instead of diet01:16
ScottKmathiaz: Since we already support dovecot for MDA, we might as well switch to use dovecot for SASL and it's that much less to deal with.01:23
ScottKmathiaz: Dovecot is (I've heard) generally easier to get set up and working.01:24
mathiazScottK: ok. Do you know if dovecot implementation is API-compatible with Cyrus implementation ?01:29
slangasekdoes it support all the SASL methods that cyrus does?01:33
mathiazslangasek: good question. I don't know. Postfix can be built with Dovecot's Sasl implementation.01:35
mathiazslangasek: same for exim. It may prove that the dovecot implementation is robust enough.01:35
mathiazslangasek: and I've just found this page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms01:36
slangasekok01:36
slangasekseems to cover everything I care about :)01:36
jdongtkooda: heh I don't know about the correctness of that as a fix though; probably should poke the Debian maintainer01:40
tkoodaheh01:42
tkoodamaintainer is upstream author01:43
jdongyeah him too01:44
mathiazslangasek: about bug 163194 - do you plan to fix it in debian also ?01:44
ubotuLaunchpad bug 163194 in samba "need option to disable creation of lanman hashes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/16319401:44
tkoodadon't got much more time right now to nudge..  perhaps later (read: likely never??)01:44
lamontand theoretically, postfix is built with dovecot support.  maybe.01:47
* lamont hates sasl.01:47
lamontor rather, I hate not having figured it out01:47
jdongtkooda: it builds correctly on debian and we are using the same sources, so I'd suspect it's a diet bug01:49
jdongtkooda: or toolchain differences01:50
tkoodak01:50
tkoodaodd.  it appears to pass the compile successfully, but just not the check.01:51
tkooda(I would have expected any diet bug to rear it's head in the compile step)01:52
jdongtkooda: segfaults in hardy in the same way, and we use same dietlibc in hardy as Debian where it buidls correctly01:53
jdongI'm out of hunches01:53
tkoodasounds like a dietlibc issue then? -wonder how that got through?01:55
tkooda(or perhaps a compile flag that shouldn't be used anymore??)01:55
ScottKmathiaz: I know Postfix is packaged to work for both SASL implementations.  Dunno about other users.01:57
slangasekmathiaz: well, I expected that adding an option for it was something to be pushed upstream, but that's already done... as far as making the change to the default in Debian, that's a policy change that needs to be discussed with the rest of the team first02:01
slangasekScottK: in what sense is it packaged to work for both? the postfix binaries are linked against cyrus sasl...02:03
ScottKslangasek: It's been a while since I looked.  I thought it supported both.  Let me look into it.02:04
ScottKPostifx upstream definitely supports both (at least at compile time).02:04
lamontScottK: if we don't support both, I'd love to.  ISTR checking and finding that it would02:06
slangasekso how does it support both dynamically?02:06

* lamont goes looking02:17
lamont2.3 introduced it.02:21
lamontso look at edgy and beyond.02:21
slangasekah, the difference is that dovecot uses an authentication server rather than a plugin, hmm02:22
* slangasek looks at this design skeptically02:22
lamontslangasek: fwiw, uploading util-linux 2.13-11ubuntu1 to hardy, will upload a sync'ed bsdmainutils once panthera uploads to debian02:23
lamontand yes, he's expecting it02:23
slangasekok02:23
lamontConflicts: bsdmainutils (<<6.1.9)02:24
lamontand yeah, 6.1.9 is actually the current version in sid.02:25
lamontso I probably screwed up02:25
slangasekhrm, isn't there supposed to be a Replaces: with that too?02:25
lamontbsdutils no longer delivers any binaries that it didn't in 2.12r --> nothing that bsdmainutils delivers02:26
lamontergo, no Replaces any more02:26
slangasekoh02:26
slangasekthen why does it need to conflict either?02:26
lamontto force the upgrade issue, I suppose02:26
lamontshould it not conflict either?02:26
lamonthrm... time for this one to go home.02:27
slangasekI can't see any reason it should conflict, and don't understand how a conflict would help force an upgrade02:27
lamontI'll pick up the conversation when I get home... it could be that I'm being a muppet.02:27

pittiHey Laser...'R'ock?08:15
LaserRockpitti: see Planet08:15
LaserRockpitti: it's all jorge's fault08:15
LaserRockdoes the source package need to have a .pot for translations and inclusion in the lang packs to work?08:16
pittiLaserRock: after the source package is fully built, there needs to be a .pot file08:17
pittiideally this is dynamically created during build, so that patches which change strings are considered08:17
pittimany packages ship a static .pot which must be updated manually; that's not optimal, but works08:17
LaserRockok08:18
pitti(we don't change strings too often)08:18
LaserRockgcompris ships .po files but no .pot08:18
LaserRockand apparently in gutsy the translations got dropped or something08:18
LaserRockreal mess, upstream's not happy08:18
pittiah; in the past, gcompris was special08:18
pittibut I remember having touched it in hoary times to fix translations08:18
LaserRockpitti: yeah, I think we (I) must have dropped your changes in a merge/sync accidentally08:19
LaserRockI should be able to built the .pot in at build time in debian/rules though right?08:20

pittiLaserRock: usually after 'make' in debian/rules build08:27

sorenIf an upstream tarball does not contain the appropriate license file, but it's otherwise quite clear that it's supposed to be there (every source file says it's GPL and such), the right thing to do is to repack the tarball with the COPYING added?09:31
dholbachsoren: if upstream promised me to add it, I added it to the diff.gz09:33
sorendholbach: I seem to remember someone (Mithrandir, perhaps) rejecting a new package on those grounds.. I belive the reasoning was that it's entirely possible to only download the orig.tar.gz from our archive, and without the COPYING in there, it's not clear if it's redistributable...09:35
sorendholbach: It's of course entirely possible that I'm just on crack.09:35
dholbachsoren: you can repack the tarball too, but I'm not an archive admin, so maybe *I*'m on crack09:36
soren:)09:36
pwnguinwhere does the failsafe gdm log errors to?09:42
Mithrandirsoren: it should be in the orig.tar.gz.  I'd like you to get upstream to release a new version with it fixed, but if waiting for that blocks you, please feel free to upload a repacked orig.tar.gz with a note in the changelog as to what's been done.09:43

pittihey tkamppeter10:48
tkamppeterpitti, first, the changelog of the actually uploaded cups-pdf (bug 152293) looks a little bit strange (no name u8nder my sync, my name under Debian upload). Did you edit anything on the changelog or did Launchpad mess up the changelog display?10:50
ubotuLaunchpad bug 152293 in cups-pdf "cups-pdf 2.4.6-3ubuntu9 doesn't create PDF-queue" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/15229310:50
pittitkamppeter: that's fine, since you correctly used -v10:50
pittitkamppeter: what you see is the .changes file, not the actual changelog10:53
tkamppeterpitti, I see, in the _source.changes file all name stamps are stripped off from the new changelog entries and Launchpad adds only one name stamp at the end, the one of the latest change.10:53
pittitkamppeter: s/Launchpad/dpkg/10:53
pittitkamppeter: you did the upload and introduced all those versions into Hardy10:54
tkamppeterpitti, second, HPLIP: I tried "man requestsync" and my system did not find the man page. Which package do I need to install?10:55
pittitkamppeter: ah, sorry; that's in ubuntu-dev-tools10:55
pittitkamppeter: ah, is that your first sync request?10:55
pittitkamppeter: you should read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess then10:56

StevenKseb128: I do, yes.10:58
Keybuksomeone needs to drag Majordomo into the 20th century10:58
tkamppeterpitti, but I am in doubt whether syncing with Debian is the right thing. This is probably more for the packages where there is active maintainership on the Debian side and Ubuntu simply takes what Debian does.10:58
pittitkamppeter: but what was the reason why the DD uploaded it to experimental?10:58
pittiideally the two of you would cooperate and work on one package10:58
pittiwhich is then uploaded to Debian and synced to Ubuntu10:59
tkamppeterpitti, we have it the other way around: I am actively maintaining the package at Ubuntu and Debian takes what Ubuntu does.10:59
pittiwell, with 'we both work in the same VCS and keep the packages in sync' there is not much of an 'other way round' IMHO11:00
thomKeybuk: no, they need to kill it with extreme prejudice11:01
seb128pitti: well, it's just a question of where the VCS is then11:01
tkamppeterThe DD, Marc Purcell, has uploaded it becuase users complained about HPLIP not getting updated (Debian bug 413225).11:01
ubotuDebian bug 413225 in hplip "new upstream release" [Wishlist,Fixed] http://bugs.debian.org/41322511:01
pittitkamppeter: did you talk to him about shared maintenance? or did he just upload the current version to experimental without any discussion?11:02
tkamppeterMark has put it into experimental because our Ubuntu package has one additional binary package, hplip-gui which causes it to need to go through the NEW process again.11:03
Keybukthom: I had the fun experience of posting a kernel patch to LKML this week11:03
sorenWhere can I find a list of packages in gutsy-proposed?11:03
Keybuklet me paraphrase the response11:03
Keybuk"AIIIIEE!! MIME!!! GNARGH!!! MELTTTTTING!"11:03
pittisoren: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html might be what you want (packages which are newer in -proposed than in -updates/-security)11:04
pittisoren: for a full list: Packages.gz :)11:04
tkamppeterpitti, Mark did it by himself, without any discussion with me. For me there was simply no Debian maintainer at all, as Henrique de Maraes Holschu has quit doing Debian packaging work.11:04
pittitkamppeter: ah, I see11:04
sorenpitti: Ooh! That was exactly what I was looking for. Shiny.11:04
pittisoren: :)11:04
tkamppeterI did not know that Mark does work on printing packages. Perhaps he simply looks around in Ubuntu for what can help on Debian problems.11:05
pittitkamppeter: so if you want to keep it that way, that would be fine; but I still think that working in a shared VCS together with the Debian guys would avoid unnecessary duplicate work on both sides11:06
pittitkamppeter: what does your upload actually change compared to -ubuntu1 we have in hardy?11:07
tkamppeterpitti, I think working together with Debian is really the better solution. Only requirement is that Debian provides a maintainer who quickly reacts if I do something on the package.11:07
pittitkamppeter: oh, we shouldn't block on Debian for doing an Ubuntu upload11:08
tkamppeterpitti, it adds only a ChangeLog entry, I have only done it to close the Merge-o-Matic sync request.11:08
pittitkamppeter: ah, I see; so we can just ignore the MoM entry for now11:08
tkamppeterpitti, I got an e-mail (I do not find it any more) that I should fix my MoM entries, so I will simply ignore that one and only sync if Debian really contributes something and does not only sync our package.11:15
pittitkamppeter: right; it's fine to ignore those, where Debian doesn't have actual changes11:16

cjwatsonseb128: perhaps the contentious bits of desktop-volumes-representation (fully automatic label generation) could be factored out to a separate "Discussion" section? I think the rest of the spec is valuable and can be approved without that13:06
cjwatsonit seems reasonable to have the desktop autogenerate a reasonable label on the fly if there isn't one there, and if the user wants to change it to something meaningful to them then let them do that; the installer isn't going to be able to guess something any more meaningful than what you could generate on the fly anyway13:07
cjwatson(where meaningful => "my old Windows stuff" or "my music" or whatever)13:07
seb128cjwatson: works for me, part of the spec is deprecated by partition-​management though13:10

cjwatsonif the files are executable, they should actually *be* executable by means of a #!; if that's not desirable or sensible, remove the x bit13:16
sorenThey have #!, and are not executable, so it's the other way around.13:17

cr3ogra: since smolt is such a recurring topic, I will try to implement it as soon as possible15:26
cr3persia: I would like to track hardware and software changes. when there is a test corresponding to one of those things which have changed, the user could be prompted to retest15:27
persiacr3: That'd be the solution to my ill-formed wish :)15:28
cr3persia: glad to hear it sounds useful, this kind of feedback is very valuable15:29
persiacr3: I'm mostly thinking in terms of tracking support effectively.  If I attach a new DDC/CI screen, or a new keyboard with a different layout, or put in the latest video card, etc. the system will still work (perhaps with a quick fiddle), but the fact that the system supports that hardware isn't being reported, so the next person doesn't know it's safe to install.15:31
\shjdstrand, I'll push some notes to debian stable security, too15:32
\shjdstrand, btw...I can't add the CVE link to the bug report, because I think LP only checks mitre...but this CVE is not listed on mitre right now15:33
cjwatsoncalc: note that I have assigned ooo-langpacks to you and targetted it for hardy; I believe the specification is fairly clear and we've discussed it before, but please shout if anything is unclear15:33
jdstrand\sh: that has been my experience as well15:35
\shjdstrand, worth a bug?15:36
cr3persia: right, so you should be prompted once again to run the relevant tests corresponding to your new hardware15:37
jdstrand\sh: I don't think so.  I think it is intentional right now as a form of integrity checking.15:37
jdstrand\sh: LP isn't well integrated with security updates yet, so it is not a big deal anyway15:37
\shjdstrand, well, the CVE parser on edge is a real improvement :)15:38
jdstrand\sh: if it's noted in the bug report and flagged as security, we can get it in our cve tracking syste15:38
persiacr3: I'm undecided regarding a direct prompt, or a more subtle restoration of a menu item, as I suspect the collection would be best done after any required local tweaking, rather than before, but it depends on whether the test is an "out of the box" test or a "works for me" test.15:39

wasabiCurious question: would it make sense in some way for dhclient to store received dhcp options in HAL for a given network device?17:33
wasabiI'm wondering about how to propagate a few of those options to other applications, such as, for instance, Samba's WINS option.17:33
Keybukit makes an amount of sense17:35
wasabiYeah, we're storing similar stuff, such as MD and LVM block devices in there. High level stuff.17:35
wasabioptions could be translated to dhcp.$optionname or dhcp.$optionnumberid17:36
wasabior some such17:36
wasabiSort of overlaps with network manager.17:36
wasabi(which might be a good thing)17:36
wasabiMaybe a sub-network device pseudo device for each assigned IP.17:37
wasabiWith the possibility of seeing how that IP originated, dhcp or otherwise, and if so, pulling otu teh dhcp options.17:38
Keybuknetwork manager is basically just mechanism17:38
wasabiBasically then it would come down to making Samba pull it's information from there. And watch for changes.17:38
Keybukfor a given interface, it can bring it up or down17:38
wasabiWhich would be a very nice way to go about it.17:38
wasabiYeah.17:38
Keybukand uses dhclient and/or wpa_supplicant to do that17:38
wasabiApplications can query NM to determine up/down state, though.17:39
Keybukright, though arguably that should be in HAL17:39
wasabiYes.17:39
wasabiDHCP can be used to push time servers too, syslog servers, cookie servers, lpr stuff.17:40
wasabiTons of stuff in there which has never even been touched on in Unix because there has never been a good way to get it to userspace.17:40
wasabiHeh. Can push SMTP servers, POP3 servers, NNTP.17:41
wasabiWould be slightly interesting (though maybe an abuse of DHCP) to put that into Evo, so when setting up an account, it defaults to those.17:42
Chipzzwasabi: yes, but those settings may be transient, and when the dhcp server on another network does not supply them you're stuck with the old ones17:43
Keybukactually, you'd just have a transient evo account17:43
Chipzz*old and incorrect17:43
Keybukso when I login at home, there's an extra private e-mail account for cron mail17:43
Keybukbut when I login elsewhere, that account isn't accessible17:44
Keybuk(unless I've checked the [X] Available Offline button)17:44
wasabiYeah, combined with Kerberos and friends, that would be pretty slick.17:44
wasabiFor an office, etc.17:44
Keybukimagine if DNS information was retrieved from HAL by the resolved17:44
Keybukresolver17:44
Keybukinstead of some static file on the disk17:44
wasabiThat would be nice. ;017:44
Keybukthen we wouldn't have a lot of the problems we have today :)17:44
wasabiYeah. You could enumate multiple sources of DNS information: VPNs, DHCP.17:45
Chipzzbut I don't think even MS uses dhcp for mail17:45
wasabiIn some sort of described priority level.17:45
wasabi(vpn A runs on top of connection B)17:45
wasabiNo, MS doesn't use DHCP for mail. It's just an ideea.17:45
wasabiMy bigger point is to simply see about putting that info SOMEWHERE>17:45
wasabiAnd HAL is probably closer to the right place.17:46

warp10Hi all!18:09
keescooksoren: I need to convince you to use subprocess.call([]) instead of os.system.  :)  (submittodebian)18:09
keescooksoren: also, what do you think of an env variable like "OVERRIDE_DEBEMAIL" or something so that reportbug will use something other than the currently set DEBEMAIL var?18:10
sorenkeescook: No no, you got it all wrong. You need to convince yourself to go fix that. :)18:19
keescooksoren: no way, security through education.  :)18:21
jdongI thought the catchphrase around here is "open a launchpad bug"?18:21
jdong:D18:21
keescookfor my second item, yeah.  But mostly I'm trying to stamp os.system() out of anyone's mind.18:22
keescooknewly written code should always use an array-based "system" call.18:22
keescook(in python's case, that's subprocess.call())18:23
jdongkeescook: yeah I just read up on subprocess.call(), I will transition my stuff to use that too, it makes a lot more sense18:23
* jdong watches his todo list grow even more18:24
keescookjdong: cool!  yeah, it's a bit weird in some cases, but just not using a shell-backed exec of a string is a win.  :)18:24
jdongkeescook: wholeheartedly agreed :)18:25

jdongsoren: yeah the main point is it precludes accidental shell escaping by not having a shell interpret the arguments18:26

fabbionei know that problem20:32

ivoksjust kicked me in the a... :)20:32
fabbioneivoks: i think there is a workaround if you want to test.20:33
ivokssure20:33
fabbionebasically the problem shows up only when a node has more than one ip address20:33
fabbionelike a vip or so20:33
ivoksthat's the case at my node20:33
ivoks4 IPs :/20:33
fabbionethe cman/dlm do not know which one to use for outgoing connections20:33
fabbionebefore we fixed the security stuff to restrict 2 connections from each node to each node20:34
ivoksthat makes sense...20:34
fabbionecman/dlm were trying to connect * to *20:34
ivoksso it tries on all, yeagh..20:34
fabbioneso at some point the right combination would kick in and work20:34
fabbionebut20:34
fabbionewith the restriction you need to make sure that the right 2 will start from the beginning20:34
fabbioneor bad things happen20:34
ivokshm :/20:35
fabbioneso the workaround is to make sure that each node can only talk to the other from one IP20:35
fabbionefor example20:35
fabbionenode1 resolves to 4 IPs20:35
fabbionemake node1 (as specified in cluster.conf) to resolve to only 1 IP20:35
fabbionedo the same for all the nodes20:35
fabbioneand that should work20:35
fabbionewithout crapping out the services20:35
fabbioneso basically ccs/cman/etc. will know each node by only one ip that should be forced as source at that point20:36
ivoksyou mean arp resolve?20:36
fabbione-no20:36
ivokscause, it allready resolves to single IP20:36
fabbionedns/hosts resolve20:36
ivoksnode1 resolves always to same IP20:37

Keybuksure, the gdm sound is vaguely useful22:12
Keybukthe Dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum-da-ting isn't22:12

ubotuLaunchpad bug 129029 in libgnome "[Gutsy Tribe-5] No Sound on Login Screen or during Login" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12902922:12
pittiNB the bug prio *sigh*22:13
pittiwe should have mentioned it as a feature in the release notes22:13
seb128well, look like quite some users expect it22:13
poningrurofl22:13
Keybukpitti: that's more likely because people assumed their sound cards were broken22:13
seb128dell being one of those (the bug has a dell task listed)22:13
ograit makes you recognize other ubuntu users :)22:13
Keybukit could probably have been commented as "we removed the sound because it embarrasses the hell out of people when their laptop sings to the world"22:14
sorenpitti: "We've finally tracked down the setting that causes the annoying sound and startup and have disabled it."22:14
poningruKeybuk: its the same thing with the whole brown imho22:14
Keybukand it would have gone silent22:14
Keybukthough some sounds are hilarious22:14
Keybuklike when a Thinkpad owner's battery goes low on a plane22:14
slangaseklamont: likewise, is there any reason to diverge from Debian on posix vs. pthreads mutexes?22:14
Keybukthe expression on some people's face is beautiful22:14
* poningru thinks we should have sound like that22:14
poningruand it should sound like a ticking time bomb22:14
KeybukNEEE-NAAW-NEEE-NAAW-NEEE-NAAW...ohfuckweregonnadie...Oh wait, Thinkpad user22:15
ograheh22:15
poningruit would be hilarious on a plane especially22:15
ograponingru, the brown is gone22:15
poningruyeah I was quite sad about that :(22:15
Keybukogra: it may be making a come back22:16
ograreally ?22:16
Keybukthe new theme Humans In Corduroy22:16
* tonyyarusso prefers the current color scheme over the one mockup he's seen so far22:16
ogralol, thats from dholbach, right ?22:17
evandbright yellow!22:17
Keybuktonyyarusso: what mock-up is that?22:17
poningrulink?22:17
tonyyarussoKeybuk: not sure - it was on digg a few days ago22:18
Keybukoh22:18
Keybukthat amused me22:18
Keybukit was, in no way, official22:18
pwnguinwhy doesnt someone just instrument human to have a color selector, and make the default orange?22:18
tonyyarusso'k :)22:19
pwnguinat the moment, orange serves branding well. you can pick an ubuntu screnshot out from a mile away22:19
Keybukpwnguin: there's two camps.  there's the "orange, because it's a colour from the ubuntu logo" and there's the "brown, because it's what we always used to have"22:19
pwnguinorange and brown are the same color :P22:20
Keybukhttp://blog.eax.fr/images/blog/installation-ubuntu/20-ecran-login-gdm-ubuntu.jpg22:20
Keybuk^ brown gdm22:20
Keybukhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~mmueller/face-browser-2.png22:20
Keybuk^ orange gdm22:20
Keybukbrown != orange :p22:20
ion_Was that the mockup you talked about?22:21
pwnguinbrown is just a dark orange22:21
Keybukion_: no22:21
poningruhttp://blog.slyon.de/?p=15422:22
poningruthat one?22:22
evandthat looks fantastic22:23
Keybukit does look rather nice22:23
Keybuka bit too dark though22:23
KeybukI really like the way he put the menu into the title bar22:24
pwnguinso is that an actual theme, or just a mockup?22:24
Keybukjust a mockup22:24
KeybukI don't think some of the things there are even possible22:24
pwnguinlike putting the menu bar into the title bar ;)22:24
Keybuknice use of awn, shame it makes us look like apple22:24
jdong17:21 < pwnguin> brown is just a dark orange22:25
* jdong dies a little inside....22:25
jdongyou're like my dad (colorblind) defending his assertion that my blue T-shirt is greenish grey.22:25
pwnguinexcept its true22:25
ograKeybuk, awm is cool, i have a classmate image using only awn and compiz, makes it really uasable fast :)22:26
pwnguingrab a color picker and throw it into HSV22:26
pwnguinthey're the same hues, just different brightness and saturation22:27
Keybukogra: I played with it for a while22:29
Keybukthe awn problem isn't the pretty, it's the interaction22:29
ograerrwell, my prob on the classmate was that you really need autohide with that screensize .... but thats not really practical imho22:30
Keybukor make it so windows can overlap22:31
Keybukis awn a window?22:31
Keybukor is it above all other windows?22:31
Keybukor below all other windows?22:31
Keybukor is it in a special place no others windows can go until they've eaten the spice22:31
Keybukand that's not even starting on what happens to icons there; if I start empathy, its icon should become interactive22:32
ografor me it was always below all others22:32
Keybukwhich works for screen size22:32
ograwhich froced me to use autohide ... (which intrestingly is in fron of all other windows)22:32
Keybukbut then you have the application switching problem22:32
ograright22:33
Keybukand the notification problem22:33
ograwell, compiz helped here22:33
KeybukI saw a cute demo of the problem22:33
Keybukwhere the fullscreen window swung back out of the way (as if hinged at the top of the screen) so reveal the waiting dock underneath22:33
Keybukso the notification revealed itself22:33
ograheh22:33
ograwell, for its young age its a pretty good app imho :)22:34
Keybukoh, it's totally a good app22:34
ograjust needs to mature a bit22:34
KeybukI was playing with kde 4 stuff earlier22:35
KeybukI really like the fact you can drag applets off the panel and onto the desktop22:35
pwnguindoes the classmate have a touchscreen?22:35
ograno22:35
Keybukah, my favourite UI problem22:36
KeybukGNOME (and some apps in particular) is terrible for laptops22:36
Keybukbecause it assumes you have a mouse!22:37
* pwnguin has his tablet working okay with gnome+tablet22:37
pwnguinwell, not in hardy right now, but dont blame GNOME for that22:37
Keybukthat's not what I mean22:38
* ogra just upgraded to hardy, but fears the reboot sinc ehe heard pitti say he broke the world22:38
Keybuklike right now, I'm in xchat22:38
pwnguinalt+222:38
Keybukif I want to open another application, I have to move the MOUSE POINTER all the way across the screen to the top-right corner22:38
Keybukwithout a Mouse, this is annnnoyingly hard22:38
pittiogra: you are doomed if you have policykit 0.6-1ubuntu122:39
pittiogra: ubuntu2 is not built yet22:39
pwnguineh22:39
pwnguini knew it was smart not to install the policykit push22:39
ograpitti, i have whatever was recent at 6pm UTC :)22:39
pittiogra: but if you have and reboot, the workaround is to "dpkg-reconfigure policykit" and "/etc/init.d/hal start"22:40
ograah, trivial22:40
pittiit just stumbles over the fact that /var/run/PolicyKit is missing (with appropriate permissions)22:40
pwnguinKeybuk: how about quicksilver / deskbar / that new gnome app i saw22:40
pittidrwxrwxr-x 2 polkituser polkituser 60 2007-11-20 22:23 /var/run/PolicyKit/22:40
ograi'm really scared about polkit22:40
pittiso was I :)22:40
ograit might break the world in ltsp22:40
pittithat's why we break it that early22:41
pwnguinKeybuk: so you'd rather have the windows key be bound to the app menu, instead of alt+f1?22:41
Keybukpwnguin: you're missing my point, I think22:41
ograwell, i have no ltsp code yet due to the upstream restructuring22:41
Keybukthe problem isn't that there aren't keyboard shortcuts22:42
Keybukthe problem is that the UI is designed to assume a mouse22:42
Keybukin much the same way that the mobile UI doesn't22:42
pwnguina mouse or a pointer device?22:42
Keybukexactly22:42
pittiogra: I think consolekit shuold be more relevant for LTSP, and we already have that in gutsy22:42
Keybukit's the one thing you don't have an efficient version of on a laptop22:42
pwnguinis the problem that itt assumes a mouse or that it assumes a pointer device?22:42
Keybukpointer device22:42
ograpitti, well, they work hand in hand if they are both there22:42
* pitti hails the .*kit invasion22:42
Keybukat least, an efficient one22:42
ograconsolekit wasnt used much yet22:42
pittiyesterday I learned what "webkit" is22:43
* pitti renames apport to crashkit22:43
Keybukpitti: driverkit for restricted manager? :p22:43
ion_crapkit22:43
keescook\sh: cool, thanks for looking into net-snmp; I hadn't gotten to it yet.22:43
pittiKeybuk: well, I do need a proper name, but my current working theory is "Threepio" :)22:43
keescooker, \sh_away: ^^22:43
Keybukpwnguin: again, another cute techo demo I've seen22:44
Keybukusing the touchpad on a laptop not as a pointer, but as a gesture device22:44
Keybukto close a tab or window, you draw an X with your fingers22:44
Keybukto move to the tab on the left, you draw a <22:44
ion_That’s a great idea.22:44
Keybukto scroll, you draw a circle and keep drawing22:45
pwnguinmeh. i just use the keyboard :P22:45
mjg59Easy enough to manage22:45
Keybukyeah, probably quite easy22:45
pittilool: hm, wrt. your DistCompilerFlags changes: I think you got the idea wrong, which indicates that the spec should explain it in a better way; let's discuss this in the next days22:45
mjg59For devices with a passthrough, you could even do it and keep that active22:45
pwnguinmy desktop prety much lacks the normal mousy considerations22:45
Keybukit obviously doesn't help with things like gimp and impress on a laptop, but you're pretty much doomed there anyway :)22:46
pwnguinKeybuk: if you really want a UI bug in gnome -- it assumes a keyboard!22:46
Keybukpwnguin: again, a valid bug22:46
* ogra wants sensoric gloves ... it looks good and you can make meaningful gestures in the air to steer your computer :)22:47
pwnguinKeybuk: ive chatted a bit with the CellWriter author, apparently metacity only allows gnome-panel to set up struts?22:47
pittiogra: http://www.datahand.com/22:47
ograpitti, well, i thought of somethig that looks a bit more .... like ... bicycle gloves or so :)22:48
theunixgeekHow do I change the logo in the upper left (on the applications menu) to the GNOME foot?22:49
ograpitti, they dont look like you could easily wave them around :)22:50
ion_Who wants to wave their hands around to control the computer?22:51
ograion_, me :)22:51
pwnguini think the wii's pointed out the problems with that22:51
pwnguinits hella tiring22:51
ograin a cape with a pointy hat :)22:51
pwnguini saw a video of a guy who set up a wiimote and an led array to record fingers waved in the air22:52
ograi think thats like bodybuilding ... or gardening ... its always tiring in the beginning ...22:53
ograif you do it all the time its healthier than typing sitting on a desk all the time :)22:53
pwnguinive heard of the marines using "hold your arms out level" as punishment22:54
ograpitti, hmm, no hal issues here23:01
pittiogra: maybe you didn't catch the latest hal yet23:02
ogra 0.5.10-2ubuntu123:02
pittiyep, 2ubuntu2 enables PK23:03
ograogra@laptop:~$ COLUMNS=100 dpkg -l policykit23:03
ograKein Paket gefunden, das auf policykit passt.23:03
ograah, yep23:03
=== soren_ is now known as soren
lamontslangasek: posix vs pthreads mutexes???23:39
slangaseklamont: as names of configure options, yes :)23:47
slangaseklamont: i.e., --enable-posixmutexes vs. --enable-pthreadsmutexes=yes; the latter is in your patch to db4.5 in Ubuntu, the former is what Debian is now using23:47
lamontwhere is that showing up?23:47
lamontpackage?23:48
slangasekdb4.523:48
lamontI don't think that was my doing... I'd ask doko.23:48
slangasekhmm, you uploaded it :)23:48
slangasek4.5.20-5ubuntu2:   * enable NPTL across the board for linux23:48
lamontok.  NPTL changes --> if I did it, it was because someone told me to (as in doko, jbailey, et al.()23:49
slangasekok23:49
slangasekdoko: ping23:49
lamontI do know that the switch to NPTL in ubuntu (1) is a precursor to debian eventually getting there (2) happened early in ubuntu because (a) we want it and (b) all of ubuntu architectures were ready for NPTL in edgy, and (3) is why hppa dropped out of ubuntu in edgy - it finally had working NPTL late in fiesty.23:51
lamontnot sure which, if any, architectures are still holding debian back from going there.23:51
slangasekyeah, this was a fairly recent ubuntu change, db4.5 wasn't even around in etch23:51
StevenKlamont: Could I impose on you on raise the build priority of helix-player 1.0.9-0ubuntu3?23:52
lamontStevenK: arch?23:53
StevenKlamont: All of them :-)23:53
lamontStevenK: done.  you're at 900 now, so you still lose to all of main23:54
lamontbut beat all of universe23:54
lamonthave a nice day23:55
StevenKlamont: Thanks. It's been waiting for 7 hours already, hopefully it won't be too much longer.23:55
ograwoah, firefox 3 in hardy is evil if you have a self signed cert for our https site23:55

lamonti386 has 6 packages ahead of it23:56
lamontogra: what does it do?23:56
StevenKlamont: For now :-)23:56
lamontStevenK: I have a hard time justifying putting universe packages ahead of main...23:56
ogralamont, it doesnt offer any easy confirmation dialog anymore ... you have to dig into the guts of the config and manually add an exception23:57
lamontthat requires a more compelling argument.  bumping something to the head of universe just takes asking for it.23:57
lamontogra: neat23:57
lamontglad I have my own CA that I use to sign such things... much simpler. :-)23:57
ograwell, many people wont ... they will just self build a ssleay cert ... https apache in gutsy ia a pita anyway23:58
StevenKlamont: It's fine, I can wait - I just didn't want to be waiting another 7 hours or more23:58
lamontright23:59
