jdongkeescook: the 1/03 apparmor uploads introduced some regressions. bin.ping still needs "/var/run/avahi-daemon/socket w" to do mdns resolution01:17

pittiI'll try running it on 2.6.2409:16

pittisoren: the manager allows you to create virtual disks, and so on? or what does it do?09:26
sorenpitti:  That's one thing, yes.09:26
sorenpitti: It also makes your vm's run in the background (well, libvirt does that, but virt-manager helps you), so that you can detach from them and attach elsewhere and such.09:27

pittisoren: hm, I tried booting the hardy desktop in kvm on my desktop (no VT support, so just qemu), and gfxboot works there10:44
sorenpitti: Yes.10:44
sorenpitti: I fixed it in hardy.10:44
sorenpitti: Well, I'm the one who uploaded it anyway :)10:45
* soren actually reads what pitti wrote10:45
pittiso it just breaks when using kvm-intel10:46
sorenpitti: Just with qemu, gfxboot should have worked all the time.10:46
sorenpitti: With kvm, gfxboot works as of hardy.10:46
pittiI see10:47
pittisoren: is there actually any difference between using kvm and qemu directly?10:47
pitti(without kernel/CPU support, I mean)10:47
sorenpitti: kvm's qemu is slightly more up to date than what's in the qemu package.10:47
sorenpitti: Other than that, no.10:47
sorenpitti: And the qemu package should be updated shortly (Debian maintainer is working on it).10:48
pittisoren: hm; I thought the Recommends: qemu would mean that kvm just uses the qemu package itself?10:48
sorenpitti: Hm.. I think that recommendation should probably be dropped.10:49
sorenpitti: I'd have to check, though.10:49
pitti The recommended qemu package contains the the qemu-img program needed to create10:49
pitti virtual disk images as well as the script /usr/sbin/qemu-make-debian-root,10:49
pitti which uses debootstrap to build a debian disk image.10:49
pittiah10:49
sorenOh, right.10:50
* soren considers splitting those out into a qemu-utils package.10:50
pittiwow, module-assistant and kqemu-source work like a piece of cake10:52
pittisoren: maybe /dev/kqemu should also get a group10:52
sorenpitti: I'm considering it. I'm just getting annoyed with all these new groups.10:53
pittiyeah :/10:53
pittisoren: it's about the same level as, say, 'video', but using video might be confusing10:54
sorenslightly :)10:54
sorenExcept video actually gives you access to hardware.10:55
* soren tries to think of a situation where you wouldn't want users to have access to kqemu..10:55
sorenWell, I guess the memory used by the qemu process in question will be pinned by the kernel module, so it can't be swapped out.10:55
TheMusopitti: Do you have any ideas as to whats happening wrt pulseaudio and the realtime group, for better performance?10:55
TheMusopitti: in terms of Ubuntu?10:56
TheMusopitti: I know users on other distros using such settings, and finding much better performance, especially with on-board cards.10:56
pittisoren: kvm: invalid option -- '-kernel-kqemu'10:57
pittisoren: how's that called in kvm?10:57
sorenpitti: Yeah, kvm doesn't support kqemu.10:57

sorenSure?10:57
sorenIt really should.10:57
pitti$ qemu -kernel-kqemu -cdrom hardy-desktop-amd64.iso10:57

sorenOh, -kernel-kqemu might not work.10:58
pittisoren: ah, qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel-kqemu works10:59

xst_Does anyone know when there will be put an effort to make dual monitors (e.g. a laptop together with an external monitor (a fairly common setup)) work? Currently one have to manually edit xorg.conf which is clearly a no-go for laptop users that often plug/unplug the external monitor.11:40
Mithrandirxst_: have you tried xrandr --auto?11:41
xst_No. What is that?11:41
Mithrandirif your video driver supports xrandr 1.2, you should be able to hotplug monitors.11:41
xst_I tried to plug in my external monitor using Kubuntu Hardy alpha 3 but it stayed blank. I had to reboot in order to recognize it. But then it stayed at the same (low) resolution as my laptop :-(11:42
Mithrandirit probably defaults to clone mode.11:42

xst_I could - theoretically - use the official "restricted" ATI driver but not even the "restricted drivers" module works in alpha 3 (or alpha 2 or alpha 1). It simply doesn't exist in the Settings window12:17
xst_So, in summarize, screen configuration in ubuntu/kubuntu is still only practically possible for geeks having the will to manipulate xorg.conf and spend hours/days on getting drivers to work.12:19

cjwatsonit could be that ntfsresize is taking ages17:28
cjwatsonthat gets called to determine whether the ntfs filesystem is resizable and if so by how much17:29

calccjwatson: btw this is on the same system that does the fsck on boot on fat32 each time (haven't had a chance to verify dosfstools yet)17:30
calccjwatson: and configuring the mount point for that fs takes a while to return as well17:30

ceekaythe main issue i have (which i guess isn't module specific) is that the ixgbe driver source is all in  ixgbe-<version>/src rather than in the top-level directory and dh_make doesn't seem to like that20:05
ceekayis there some standard procedure to follow when upstream packages its source like that?20:05
ceekayi suppose i could rename src/ to ixgbe-<version>/ or copy the contents of src up one level20:05
amitkceekay: I am far from a debian packaging expert. Typically, we just copy the sources to a directory inside linux-ubuntu-modules and create a Makefile.20:06
amitkceekay: download the source for linux-ubuntu-modules to see how the modules have been added.20:07
ceekayah, excellent20:09
ceekayi guess i can even grab the one from hardy and see how ixgbe is done :)20:09
emgenthello20:10
ceekaythanks amitk20:12
ceekayby the way, is there a reason feisty is no longer accepting modules? is it just because it'd been released?20:12
amitkceekay: because it is in maintenance mode. So only critical bugfixes are made. No new features are added. For new features, you can upgrade to Gutsy.20:14
ceekaygotcha, thanks20:15
keescookslangasek: valgrind> there are other things it yells about that are certainly bugs, but not security issues.  perhaps I'm using it wrong.  :)20:35

ceekayanyone who knows how to use make-kpkg to build platform-dependent modules around?22:01
Kmosceekay: try to ask in #ubuntu-motu22:04
ceekaycool thanks22:05
ScottKKmos:  make-kpkg is for making custom kernels.  #ubuntu-kernel would have been a much better suggestion.22:07
ScottKceekay: ^^^22:07
ceekaywell i guess, the question i actually have is: i have an ixgbe-<version>-source.deb that i put together (because it's not available in feisty), but i want to make a platform-dependent binary ixgbe-<version>-modules.deb so that i can put it on machines that don't have build tools... what tool should i be using for this?22:08
keescookjdong: so, I don't see any regressions gutsy to hardy in the apparmor profiles.  looking specifically at "ping", the avahi-daemon/socket was added to the "nameservice" abstraction, and is there in both gutsy and hardy.  if you still still issues, go ahead and open a bug and we can go from there.  :)22:12
jdongkeescook: ok, maybe I failed to notice it. Did you see /proc/kallsyms in sbin.klogd though?22:13
jdongkeescook: that seems to be a recent one.22:13
keescookchecking...22:14
jdongit wasn't required just last week in hardy...22:14
torkelceekay: still off topic for this channel :-) but take a look at module-assistant22:14
jdongbut now klogd segfaults if it's denied access to it22:14
keescookAh, agreed, that's missing from klogd (but it wasn't there in gutsy at all either).  klogd is in complain mode by default.22:15
ceekaytorkel: thanks22:15
keescookjdong: I'll get that into the package.  :)22:16
emgenthello there22:17
jdongkeescook: thanks :)22:21
KmosScottK: we're always learning..22:22
lakritzif I remember correctly there were plans on integrating Totem and MythTV in some way for Ubuntu Hardy. Anyone know how that's going?22:38

* snadge knows of a couple of ubuntu contributors who have cracked it and gone to sidux / OpenSuse etc :(22:43
snadgeapparently over infighting (heated differences of opinion), and too many bugs which make it through to release.. i tried to pull the philosophy card, and failed to win them back... ahh well :)22:47
snadgeaka haphazard release schedule22:47
snadgeperhaps more paid contributors are needed in the area of bug fixing / quality control.. and also to help rally the community to get more involved22:50
lakritzsnadge: you're not responding to me are you?22:51
snadgeno sorry, just random noise.. its morning here im having my coffee and stalling going to work :/22:51
lakritzhehe, alright22:51
snadgetrying to think of ideas to improve the quality of ubuntu22:52
snadgewhilst im still not deterred, its saddening to see talented people give up22:52
crimsunpitti: may I pick your brain for a few moments regarding CleanupAudioJumble?22:52
lakritzmaybe making it easier to contribute to the quality. For example I'd really like that, if I encounter bad translations in a dialog box, there'd be a really easy and direct way to fix it and send my changes upstream22:54
snadgeim sure this idea has been thought of, but what about offering bounties for fixing bugs.. like if someone makes a confirmed fix to a confirmed problem, they could get a prize or money22:54
snadgeit might even be possible for someone to make a living out of going through launchpad and fixing problems22:54
lakritzthat'd be cool, and a way for people to assign bounty to bugs that really nags them =)22:55
lakritzthat would be sort of a self-organizing system22:55
snadgethats right, if a bug really (for want of a better way to phrase it) pisses you off.. you could offer your own money to whomever fixes it22:56
lakritzyup22:56
snadgeand perhaps canonical could sponsor the rest22:56
snadgeit would especially make sense close to release date22:56
snadgeget as many people testing, reporting and fixing the rc as possible22:57
lakritzthey could use the system the same way altough they'd probably be like someone with a lot of bugs nagging them and a lot of money to put in =)22:57
snadgeshock horror, maybe even delay a release if there are too many "black screen on boot", "no networking" etc problems22:58
snadgebecause all releasing with those types of problems does.. is really aggravate a lot of people22:58
snadgepeople who might not be willing to give ubuntu another try22:58
lakritzwell they do that already don't they? I seem to remember there was a relesase scheduled for April that got pushed back to June22:58
crimsundesrt: yw.22:59
lakritzgutsy was pushing it a bit hard (that was the point) but otherwise I think Ubuntu does a fine job with the quality/polish in the releases23:00
snadgemy brother for example.. has an 8800gt, gutsy wont boot in normal or safe graphics mode.. the suggested fix, use the alternate install.. to which he promptly gave up because it was "too hard" .. granted, you can point the finger at nvidia for not having drivers.. and his laziness for not persisting with it23:00
lakritzyupp, really there's just so much you can do when dealing with hardware vendors that don't open up their spec23:02
cjanyone know whether it's user error that I can't get javaws to work in hardy on amd64?23:03
cjwhen do we get an Open video card?23:04
lakritzif by open you mean that specs are available, intel's are already open and AMD are in the process of opening up as well23:08
