| slangasek | crimsun: AFAICS you're not currently subscribed to bugs for pulseaudio; but perhaps you could take a look at bug #187469 since you're the last uploader? | 01:16 |
|---|---|---|
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 187469 in pulseaudio "pulseaudio should have versioned dependency on sysv-rc for use of update-rc.d multiuser" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/187469 | 01:16 |
| * TheMuso checks whether he is on the audio team, but doesn't think so. | 01:17 | |
| === Ubulette_ is now known as Ubulette | ||
| TheMuso | Ok, the kernel team is a member of the audio team, but crimsun deactivated himself a while ago. | 01:19 |
| slangasek | right; that didn't stop him from uploading the package 5 days ago ;) | 01:19 |
| TheMuso | I know, I think he just tracks debian and upstream. | 01:20 |
| TheMuso | And has a look at the buglist from time to time. | 01:20 |
| TheMuso | But I'm only guessing here. | 01:20 |
| slangasek | if you're saying you'd rather take care of the bug yourself, be my guest :-) | 01:20 |
| TheMuso | No, I'm just saying that unless he's around now, he may not get to it for another day or so, so I'll take a peak, since I intend to get more involved with audio work in Ubuntu anyway. | 01:21 |
| TheMuso | slangasek: I'd do it, however it may be quicker for a core-dev to do it, as I don't yet have core-dev membership. | 01:23 |
| TheMuso | Since its only a small change. | 01:23 |
| * ScottK2 wonders when the Tech Board will get to processing applications.... | 01:24 | |
| TheMuso | ScottK: I was supposed to be on Tuesday, but only mdz was around, so it was a no go. | 01:24 |
| ScottK2 | So it's in two weeks then ... | 01:25 |
| * ScottK2 hopes more people get added to the agenda. | 01:25 | |
| TheMuso | DOn't know. mdz said he'd contact the others and see what could be sorted. | 01:25 |
| TheMuso | ScottK: Have you been emailed to ask if you can attend a meeting? | 01:26 |
| TheMuso | I don't remember seeing one. | 01:26 |
| TheMuso | If it was CCd to the mc list. | 01:26 |
| ScottK2 | TheMuso: No. I haven't. I'm waiting on that still. | 01:26 |
| ScottK2 | IIRC I was the next applicant after you, so I was expecting to hear something maybe after your meeting. | 01:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Is there a way to remove unnecessary binary files from a source package? | 01:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | The diff doesn't cover it; seems like it'd need a new source archive. | 01:30 |
| Mithrandir | IntuitiveNipple: rm it in the rules file | 01:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Mithrandir: but how would that change what's in the original tgz ? | 01:31 |
| Mithrandir | IntuitiveNipple: it wouldn't | 01:31 |
| Mithrandir | but why is that important? | 01:31 |
| ScottK2 | For that you need to repack the tarball. | 01:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | I discovered in fixing these bugs in the mysql-query-browser package that it has been shipped with the .lo and .o 32-bit binaries in the gtksourceview sub-package | 01:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Well, it's a lot of space for one, not good practice for two, and the 32-bit static stuff was causing various SIGSEGVs for amd64 and once those were fixed, causing failed 32-bit builds! | 01:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | I'll push the debdiff for now but it'd make sense to clean it up, although I'm not sure how to go about and I've wasted a day on this already | 01:33 |
| Mithrandir | sure, tell upstream to fix it | 01:33 |
| crimsun | slangasek: / TheMuso: on it, I'll upload a new one with a couple other bug fixes. | 01:33 |
| TheMuso | crimsun: Ok. | 01:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | upstream would be... debian, or mysql? | 01:34 |
| * TheMuso needs to get onto pulse's lists and bug tracker. :) | 01:34 | |
| Mithrandir | IntuitiveNipple: mysql, I'd say. | 01:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Hmmm, that'll be fun :) | 01:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | I've built 32 & 64 bit here now, I'm just confirming it on my PPA before I publish the debdiff | 01:35 |
| * TheMuso -> getting lunch. | 02:12 | |

| stgraber | moin | 07:19 |
| dholbach | hi stgraber | 07:19 |
| pitti | Good morning | 07:20 |
| TheMuso | Morning pitti. | 07:24 |
| pitti | hey TheMuso | 07:26 |
| pitti | soren: oh, oops; libvirt is in main, but needs xen; xen-3.1 is in universe, and the newer xen-3.2, too | 07:30 |
| pitti | soren: since I understood that we only want to support kvm in hardy | 07:30 |
| pitti | soren: any idea what to do about this? | 07:31 |
| pitti | soren: (and libvirt still uses xen 3.1) | 07:31 |
| stgraber | pitti: When will the first Alpha4 candidates be released ? | 07:35 |
| pitti | stgraber: I don't know, that's slangasek's now | 07:36 |
| pitti | stgraber: the current live images are out of date | 07:36 |
| pitti | maybe because of the gnome-control-center and gnome-settings-daemon file conflict, I haven't checked yet | 07:36 |
| warp10 | Good morning | 07:37 |
| soren | pitti: libxen3.1 at least used to be in main? | 07:45 |
| pitti | soren: yes, it was | 07:45 |
| pitti | hi warp10 | 07:45 |
| soren | pitti: It was needed for libvirt which in turn was needed by redhat-cluster-suite. | 07:45 |
| warp10 | hey pitti! | 07:46 |
| dholbach | bdmurray: do you plan to get new versions of py-lp-bugs and bughelper uploaded soon? | 07:46 |
| soren | pitti: What changed? | 07:46 |
| pitti | soren: if the server team is really ready to support and endorse xen-3.2, I can promote it again | 07:46 |
| pitti | soren: changed> first, we got xen-3.2, and second I was told by mdz that we should have never really had xen in main in the first place | 07:46 |
| soren | pitti: Well, afaik, we were never ready to support and endorse xen-3.1, which is why most of it stayed in universe. Only libxen was in main. | 07:46 |
| pitti | soren: and thirdly someone told me that 'kvm it is!' for hardy | 07:46 |
| pitti | soren: ok, I see | 07:47 |
| soren | pitti: I see. | 07:47 |
| soren | pitti: Erm.. | 07:47 |
| pitti | soren: so, is it possible to build libvirt against xen-3.2? | 07:47 |
| pitti | soren: then I'll promote the client libs to main and leave the rest in universe | 07:47 |
| soren | pitti: I'll try. | 07:47 |
| soren | pitti: Er... It's still stuck in NEW. | 07:52 |
| soren | mvo: What CPU do you have in that KVM-able AMD machine? | 08:47 |
| pitti | soren: what exactly? | 08:51 |
| soren | pitti: xen 3.2 | 08:51 |
| pitti | soren: hm, it only built on i386 so far | 08:53 |
| soren | pitti: Yeah. I'll poke zul about it this afternoon, when he shows up. | 08:53 |
| soren | pitti: It seems to fail because the binary-arch target assumes latex is present, but texlive is int b-d-i. | 08:54 |
| pecisk | gnome-settings-daemon broken in last updates | 08:54 |
| mvo | soren: a am2 X2 (model 107, stepping 2) - let me know if you need the full /proc/cpuinfo output | 08:57 |
| soren | mvo: Hm... I'm looking at a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ | 08:58 |
| soren | mvo: That wouldn't happen to be the same, would it? | 08:59 |
| mvo | soren: no, mine is just a 4400+ :) | 09:01 |
| mvo | soren: are you looking into buying one? | 09:01 |
| soren | mvo: I'm strongly considering renting one. | 09:01 |
| coyctecm | Is Jono Bacon here? | 09:02 |
| mvo | I'm very happy with mine, upgrade testing runs nice and smooth now | 09:03 |
| soren | Awesome. | 09:05 |

| === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson | ||
| cjwatson | coyctecm: sometimes, though not right now | 09:11 |
| coyctecm | cjwatson, ok | 09:15 |
| cjwatson | pitti: FYI, I edited Bugs/HowToFilter to add locking to the rules that deliver mail to actual folders rather than /dev/null, as otherwise you can corrupt folders if you're unlucky | 09:15 |
| pitti | cjwatson: oh, is that the final : in :0: ? | 09:16 |
| pitti | cjwatson: thanks, I wasn't aware of that actually | 09:17 |
| cjwatson | yeah, it is | 09:17 |
| pitti | cjwatson: wow, I hadn't expected procmail to be dangerous by default | 09:18 |
| * pitti fixes his local .procmailrc then | 09:19 | |
| TheMuso | pitti: What exactly needs fixing? Mine seems to work fine. | 09:20 |
| pitti | so does mine; TBH I'm not sure what can go wrong | 09:20 |
| cjwatson | if two procmails try to deliver to the same folder concurrently and you haven't specified a lockfile (just putting ':' at the end of the rule header uses a default folder-specific lockfile) then you can get the usual corruption you might expect from two programs trying to write the same file at the same time | 09:23 |
| cjwatson | probably lost mail, but if you're really unlucky I suppose interleaved mail is just about possible | 09:24 |
| soren | Maildir ftw! | 09:24 |
| cjwatson | (I'm not sure exactly how procmail opens files) | 09:24 |
| cjwatson | soren: a lockfile's hardly rocket science :) | 09:24 |
| soren | cjwatson: True that. | 09:25 |
| soren | Nevertheles.... Maildir ftw! | 09:25 |
| pitti | I prefer maildir on my desktop/laptop, too, but on the server mbox is nicer for backup | 09:26 |
| === doko_ is now known as doko | ||
| * TheMuso never runs more than one procmail at a time here, well at least doesn't think so, with using fethcmail. | 09:27 | |
| soren | pitti: You think? | 09:27 |
| pitti | soren: ten files, one for each folder, is much easier to handle/check/move around than a million subdirectories | 09:28 |
| soren | pitti: I found that having to back up a multi-GB mbox just because one mail was edited was quite annoying. | 09:28 |
| pitti | soren: yeah, huge mboxes are painful; I don't have them, though | 09:28 |
| soren | pitti: Well, I used to host mail for quite a few people. I couldn't just tell them to "please don't use large folders" :) | 09:29 |
| soren | WEll, I could, but they wouldn't listen. | 09:29 |
| pitti | heh | 09:29 |
| TheMuso | soren: lol | 09:29 |
| dholbach | pitti: thanks for checking the apport mail (attachments being patches) | 09:34 |
| pitti | dholbach: gern geschehen | 09:34 |
| SlimG | Will Alpha 4 be released today? | 09:43 |
| stgraber | SlimG: yep | 09:51 |
| === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson | ||
| cjwatson | TheMuso: on my system, fetchmail delivers to exim, which can process multiple mails concurrently | 09:52 |
| cjwatson | (sorry, pinged out, you may have got that twice) | 09:52 |
| TheMuso | cjwatson: No I didn't, and I understand what you're getting at. | 09:53 |
| SlimG | stgraber: Any knowhow on when? 1 hour? 5 hours or 11 hours from now? :) | 09:53 |
| stgraber | SlimG: well, the release manager is in the US timezone + we haven't really done any important testing yet (ISO aren't even on the tracker) | 09:55 |
| stgraber | SlimG: so it'll likely be late today | 09:55 |
| SlimG | mkay, thanks for the info stgraber, I apprechiate it | 09:56 |
| pitti | way cool. fully noninteractive self tests of the jockey GTK interface | 10:09 |
| TheMuso | Is synaptic ever likely to use policykit for hardy? | 10:12 |
| mvo | TheMuso: no, very unlikely | 10:14 |
| mvo | pitti: with dogtail? | 10:14 |
| pitti | mvo: no, just with using .response() for dialogs and .emit('clicked') etc. for buttons | 10:14 |
| pitti | mvo: it's not 100% functionality coverage, but it runs through all widgets and dialogs at least | 10:15 |
| pitti | mvo: since the GTK UI implementation does not have any logic, just an implementation of AbstractUI (which does have the logic and has its own full test suite), that's enough for my purposes | 10:15 |
| * mvo nods | 10:16 | |
| TheMuso | mvo: Ok thanks. What about gnome-app-install? | 10:17 |
| mvo | TheMuso: it uses synaptic as its backend (for all the operations that require root) | 10:18 |
| TheMuso | mvo: Oh ok then., | 10:18 |
| mvo | TheMuso: any specific reason that you ask? I haven't looked what it would take yet | 10:19 |
| TheMuso | mvo: Just wanting to know so that I can 1) recommend a tool for people to use for package installation who use assistive technology, and 2) be able to target testing for gnome-app-install to find any accessibliity bugs relating to the use of assistive technology. | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | ooh, I nearly have vim omnicompletion for Launchpad bugs working | 10:29 |
| pitti | seb128: did you notice the gnome-settings-daemon vs. gnome-control-center file conflict for /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon? | 10:32 |
| seb128 | pitti: yes, I'll upload a fixed version | 10:32 |
| pitti | seb128: awesome, thanks; so I won't report it | 10:32 |
| seb128 | pitti: that's just an upgrade issue, new g-c-c doesn't contain this one | 10:33 |
| seb128 | apt or dpkg could handle that better | 10:33 |

| jwendell | Hi, seb128. Did pidgin crashed today with you? (I guess it's glib related) | 13:03 |
| seb128 | jwendell: it does crash on one of my boxes but not on the one I'm using right now | 13:04 |
| ogra | seb128, is g-s-d wanting to overwrite /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon in g-c-c known ? | 13:04 |
| ogra | (upgrade error here) | 13:05 |
| jwendell | seb128, I've got a trace, gonna fill a bug | 13:05 |
| seb128 | ogra: yes and the fix has been uploaded some hours ago | 13:05 |
| seb128 | jwendell: where? | 13:05 |
| jwendell | seb128, launchpad? :) | 13:05 |
| seb128 | jwendell: I doubt anybody reads piding bugs on launchpad, in case you want to file there | 13:05 |
| ogra | seb128, thanks | 13:05 |
| jwendell | :( | 13:05 |
| seb128 | jwendell: k, feel free, don't expect a quick reply though | 13:05 |
| seb128 | jwendell: and I doubt it's a pidgin issue, it didn't change for weeks now | 13:06 |
| jwendell | seb128, my guess is glib | 13:06 |
| jwendell | seb128, look at the crash line: | 13:07 |
| jwendell | IA__g_logv (log_domain=0x0, log_level=G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL, format=0xb77b0cd4 "%s: assertion `%s' failed", args1=0xbfe9cd8c "?G\216·\nÃ\215·PÜô·\027") at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.15.4/glib/gmessages.c:503 | 13:07 |
| jwendell | 503/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.15.4/glib/gmessages.c: No such file or directory. | 13:07 |
| jwendell | in /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.15.4/glib/gmessages.c | 13:07 |
| seb128 | that usually means it hits an assert | 13:07 |
| jwendell | seb128, maybe that define in glib being deprecated? | 13:08 |
| seb128 | what do you mean? | 13:08 |
| jwendell | seb128, G_GNUC_[PRETTY_]FUNCTION ? | 13:09 |
| seb128 | why would that create a crash? | 13:10 |
| seb128 | that's a build time thing | 13:10 |
| jwendell | seb128, ok, I'm sorry | 13:10 |
| seb128 | no need to be sorry | 13:10 |
| seb128 | but I don't think it's due to that ;-) | 13:10 |
| seb128 | jwendell: looks like there is no bug on launchpad about that yet, maybe use apport to send it? | 13:14 |
| jwendell | seb128, apport is ignoring the pidgin crash | 13:15 |
| seb128 | what do you mean? | 13:15 |
| jwendell | seb128, does it ignore a crash after three times hitting 'don't send the bug' button? | 13:15 |
| seb128 | yes | 13:15 |
| jwendell | hehe | 13:15 |
| jwendell | seb128, anyway I got a backtrace with gdb | 13:16 |
| jwendell | seb128, just filled the bug upstream | 13:16 |
| seb128 | you can still send the crash using apport | 13:16 |
| seb128 | ok | 13:16 |
| seb128 | just go to /var/crash | 13:16 |
| seb128 | and double click in nautilus on the crash you want to report | 13:17 |
| jwendell | nice | 13:17 |
| seb128 | or use apport-cli or apport-gtk | 13:17 |
| jwendell | seb128, the backtrace contains my password. Is there any way to hide it after the bug is filled? | 13:18 |
| seb128 | apport bugs are marked private by default | 13:19 |
| seb128 | and you can edit the description after sending it | 13:19 |
| seb128 | the coredump is removed when the bug is retraced | 13:19 |
| jwendell | seb128, but can't edit an attachment :( | 13:19 |
| seb128 | hum, right | 13:20 |
| seb128 | did you send it already? | 13:20 |
| jwendell | seb128, nope | 13:20 |
| seb128 | you can remove an attachment though | 13:20 |
| seb128 | don't send it if you don't like that | 13:20 |

| cjwatson | there are some low-level methods for doing it on some filesystems but they are much less likely to work on ext3 | 13:30 |

| mitsuhiko | completely offtopic question but hopefully answers :) | 14:30 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: maybe ask mdke when he's around, he's often in contact with DonS who is upstream | 14:30 |
| mitsuhiko | say you want to develop a gpl application which uses tango icons which are licenses under the cc-sa | 14:30 |
| mitsuhiko | and the application is a web application and the icons used as part of the theme | 14:30 |
| mitsuhiko | is that possible? | 14:31 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: open a bug in launchpad with the patch so it's easy to point upstream to it | 14:31 |
| cjwatson | I'll attach it to bug 154829, which is the relevant one | 14:34 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 154829 in yelp "Yelp uses wrong encoding for localized manpages" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/154829 | 14:34 |

| seb128 | thank you | 14:35 |
| jwendell | seb128, definately it' a glib bug. I got exactly same backtrace for a crash in evolution | 14:40 |
| seb128 | jwendell: do you have the backtrace online somewhere? | 14:41 |
| seb128 | jwendell: what do you do to crash evolution? | 14:41 |
| jwendell | seb128, I was about to create a filter based on mailing list | 14:42 |

| ubotu | Bug 187667 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/187667 is private | 14:46 |
| jwendell | seb128, this is mine | 14:46 |
| seb128 | jwendell: right, which means that a g_return_if_fail_warning() condition has been hit | 14:46 |
| jwendell | seb128, exactly | 14:46 |
| seb128 | jwendell: but any program or library can use g_return_if_fail_warning() on any condition | 14:46 |
| seb128 | that doesn't mean it's a glib bug or that they are similar | 14:46 |
| jwendell | seb128, indeed, but it's a bit weird to have various programs crashing *today* with this same assert | 14:47 |
| seb128 | dholbach: is pidgin crashing on your hardy box where evolution doesn't work? | 14:48 |

| \sh | hmmm | 15:00 |
| \sh | pitti, did you have any problems with gtk+2.0 sources fetching with ia32-libs/fetch-and-build? | 15:01 |
| pitti | \sh: if source/binaries are out of sync, that happens | 15:01 |
| \sh | pitti, hmm..let me update my local system...apt-get source gtk+2.0 works for me until now ;) | 15:02 |
| * jwendell wonders if seb128 has 2 machines, one for daily use and other for tests and crashes :0 | 15:02 | |
| jwendell | :) | 15:02 |
| \sh | pitti, na, it will fetch a nwe version, yes but works | 15:02 |
| \sh | ah i386 | 15:02 |
| seb128 | jwendell: no, not due to the new gtk | 15:03 |
| seb128 | jwendell: what architecture do you use? | 15:03 |
| jwendell | seb128, i386 | 15:03 |
| ion_ | Btw, has anyone considered making dpkg use a faster database than plaintext sequential files? | 15:04 |
| Riddell | asac, pitti: flashplugin-nonfree updates uploaded for gutsy and feisty, edgy and dapper are harder to do | 15:04 |
| \sh | nope i386 works as well | 15:05 |
| seb128 | jwendell: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.15.3-0ubuntu1/+build/496254 | 15:05 |
| seb128 | jwendell: you can get binaries from there, download those you need and sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 15:05 |
| Lutin | pitti: why don't the buildds install the build-depends-indep (or at least seem not to) ? | 15:10 |
| jwendell | seb128, same thing. (must i reboot?) | 15:10 |
| seb128 | jwendell: no need to reboot, just restart the application | 15:11 |
| seb128 | jwendell: or try to start pidgin | 15:11 |
| pitti | Lutin: the i386 one does; other arches don't (they just do dpkg-buildpackage -B) | 15:11 |
| jwendell | seb128, same crashes in pidgin and evolution | 15:11 |
| seb128 | jwendell: ok, so that's not glib | 15:11 |
| seb128 | jwendell: want to try downgrading gtk? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/2.12.5-1/+build/495133 | 15:12 |
| Lutin | pitti: what's the reason for this ? | 15:15 |
| pitti | Lutin: Arch: all should be built just once, not 5 times in vain | 15:16 |
| pitti | Lutin: so in Ubuntu, the i386 buildds build Arch: all packages, and the other arches do -B | 15:16 |
| pitti | Lutin: that's why we have one more i386 buildd | 15:16 |
| jwendell | seb128, I quit, same crashes | 15:19 |
| seb128 | jwendell: that is weird | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | pitti: is anyone working on adding consolekit support to login? | 15:20 |

| mpt | dholbach, I don't know -- I'm sure you or someone has explained to me how the queue works at some stage, but I've forgotten | 15:45 |

| jwendell | seb128, I'm going to open a bug against gnome-session and mark all these kind of bugs as dupe | 16:32 |
| seb128 | jwendell: they are not, they are valid bugs | 16:32 |
| seb128 | jwendell: they are just warning, not crashers | 16:32 |
| jwendell | seb128, well, those kind of bugs should be forwarded upstream btw | 16:33 |
| seb128 | jwendell: that's just that nobody bother about those usually, that's why GNOME guys make gnome-session set G_DEBUG during unstable cycle | 16:33 |
| cjwatson | ogra: sigh, I see what mccann means about privsep causing issues - PAM is just called too early | 16:36 |
| slangasek | stgraber: hardy alpha 4 candidates for ubuntu are up, finally; sorry for the delays | 16:36 |

| slangasek | stgraber: uh, as long as necessary; if the milestone release has to be pushed back until tomorrow, then that's what it'll be | 16:38 |
| seb128 | ok everybody, gnome-session was setting G_DEBUG to make application crash on warnings since yesterday, that's something upstream do during unstable serie and that we don't usually | 16:41 |
| seb128 | so if you received crashers in g_return_if_fail_warning(), those are warnings | 16:42 |
| slangasek | seb128: er. that means this is on the CDs, I guess? Will that cause problems in practice? | 16:42 |
| slangasek | i.e., how much is crashing with this? | 16:42 |
| dholbach | evolution and pidgin are for me | 16:42 |
| seb128 | slangasek: well, pidgin and evolution were crashing for some people here | 16:42 |
| slangasek | sigh | 16:43 |
| seb128 | slangasek: but that doesn't seem to happen to everybody, might be config dependent | 16:43 |
| slangasek | see, /now/ you're in trouble for uploading this during the alpha freeze ;) | 16:43 |
| * seb128 hides | 16:43 | |
| slangasek | well, it is what it is. I guess the fixed gnome-session will be available from the archive soon after? | 16:43 |
| seb128 | slangasek: yeah, sorry about that, fixed version has just been uploaded, that should not be too bad for the CD | 16:44 |
| slangasek | ok | 16:44 |
| slangasek | release notes then | 16:44 |
| pitti | evand: btw, any idea why ubiquity's icon on the live CD is broken? | 16:44 |
| seb128 | slangasek: thanks | 16:44 |
| evand | pitti: off the top of my head, no. It and the installation method for it haven't changed, so I imagine I need to update it with respect to changes in GNOME. | 16:45 |
| pitti | soren: virt-manager just offers me xen and qemu as hypervisors; do I choose qemu for kvm? | 16:48 |

| soren | pitti: No, not at all. | 16:58 |
| soren | pitti: I recommend you connect to the system-wide libvirtd, though. | 16:58 |
| soren | It allows you to set up all the interesting networking options. | 16:59 |
| soren | Namely brigded and virtual networks rather than just usermode networking. | 16:59 |
| pitti | it doesn't seem to ask me which virtd to connect to | 16:59 |
| soren | That's what you tell it with the uri. | 16:59 |
| soren | qemu:///system is the system wide one. | 17:00 |
| pitti | ah, -c qemu:///system ? | 17:00 |
| soren | Yes. | 17:00 |
| pitti | same error message, though | 17:00 |
| shaya | does anyone know what broke pidgin in hardy? | 17:00 |
| soren | Are you a member of libvirtd? | 17:00 |
| pitti | soren: no, I'm not | 17:01 |
| soren | pitti: Then you won't be allowed to connect to qemu:///system | 17:01 |
| * pitti sings "KVM is not enough" ♪ | 17:01 | |
| soren | qemu:///session should still be fine, though. | 17:01 |
| pitti | soren: that group doesn't exist | 17:01 |
| soren | Then you don't have libvirt-bin installed. | 17:01 |
| soren | ...and that explains the other problems as well. | 17:02 |
| pitti | . o O { dependency? } | 17:02 |
| soren | I'm considering iit. | 17:02 |
| pitti | soren: ok, thanks a lot for your support | 17:02 |
| pitti | ah, there goes the daemon | 17:02 |
| soren | It's perfectly reasonable to use virt-manager to only connect to xen or remote qemu instances. | 17:02 |
| pitti | true | 17:02 |
| soren | So a hard dependency seems wrong. | 17:03 |
| soren | I'd like to add a meta package for this, though. | 17:03 |
| soren | So there'd be an ubuntu-virtualisation-node and ubuntu-virtualisation-admin or -manager or something. | 17:04 |
| soren | The former depending on libvirt-bin and kvm, the latter depending on virt-manager, openssh-client, etc. | 17:05 |
| elmo | how big is libvirt-bin? | 17:05 |
| pitti | soren: for 80 kB? | 17:05 |
| elmo | yeah, what pitti said | 17:06 |
| soren | It's 380 kb installed. | 17:06 |
| elmo | just add the dep | 17:06 |
| soren | I didn't think the appropriateness of hard dependencies had much to do with the size of the dependencies. | 17:06 |
| elmo | sure it does | 17:07 |
| elmo | adding new packages isn't free | 17:07 |
| elmo | which seems to be your proposed solution | 17:07 |
| elmo | trying to avoid adding a dep on an 80Kb package with nothing but binaries isn't overly sane | 17:07 |
| soren | It could also just be a task. | 17:08 |
| elmo | (given the other context) | 17:08 |
| elmo | soren: apt-get install should DTRT | 17:08 |
| soren | apt-get install my-task-name^ :P | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | libvirt-bin actually ships an init script and such, but I would be inclined to agree that it'd be a lot more straightforward to just depend on it | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | once apt installs recommends by default, it could reasonably be downgraded to a recommends | 17:09 |
| elmo | cjwatson: oh, ok - I assumed from the name that it wouldn't do such things, my bad | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | it's rather unconventional naming | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | struct _CkConnecter; | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | typedef struct _CkConnector CkConnector; | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | go consolekit | 17:11 |
| soren | Well, I'll probably be adding those tasks anyway. We want at least the stuff that's needed to function as a virtualisation node to be selectable in the server installer. | 17:11 |
| jdong | cjwatson: it's an abstraction layer ;-) | 17:11 |

| slangasek | I can retry it shortly if you think it's likely transient | 17:14 |
| pitti | soren: virt-manager looks great! | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | the universe mirror seems rather out of date, and none of the rsync logs mention it | 17:15 |
| soren | elmo, cjwatson: libvirt-bin contains a daemon and a single cli tool (virsh) that exposes most of libvirt's functionality. What would be the conventional way to name it? "libvirtd" and keep the virsh in there even though it's essentially unrelated to the daemon? "libvirtd" and move virsh to a new package called libvirt-bin (yay, new binary)? Or "libvirtd" and move virsh to libvirt0 (erk)? | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | out of date> except for the way I apparently don't know what date it is. er. | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: hard to say, but I think there's a decent chance it's transient; give it another try? | 17:17 |
| soren | pitti: Yeah, once it gets going, it's pretty neat. :) | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | I updated germinate for good measure, but I don't think that'll matter | 17:17 |

| Hobbsee | bah. too slow | 17:18 |

| slangasek | ehm, I would certainly say that causing the desktop environment to suddenly treat all warnings as fatal errors is a bug | 22:31 |
| seb128 | so technically all the crash are applications bug, they just don't usually lead to a crash | 22:31 |
| slangasek | hence, "warning" | 22:32 |
| seb128 | anyway no there is no bug about that, it has been handled by IRC | 22:32 |
| seb128 | and closing those crashers are duplicates would be wrong | 22:32 |
| seb128 | they are bug on the concerned applications | 22:32 |
| slangasek | if gcc suddenly enabled -Wall -Werror by default, I would call that a toolchain bug. :) | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | somebody might need to add comments on those bugs to indicate that even though the applications no longer crash the bug is that they emit a critical warning | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | s/the bug/the real bug/ | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | otherwise somebody will probably come along and close them sooner or later ... | 22:34 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: I did comment on some this afternoon | 22:34 |
| cjwatson | good stuff | 22:34 |
| FrankQ | sorry, back. 2.21.90-0ubuntu1 | 22:34 |
| seb128 | FrankQ: that's not the new version | 22:34 |
| FrankQ | hmm, weird. | 22:35 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: will edubuntu be rebuilt? | 22:36 |
| FrankQ | Yeah, getting a new one now. Wasn't when I asked. apologies | 22:36 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: for this issue, you mean? I wasn't planning to, I intended to release note it | 22:36 |
| bdmurray | Wouldn't apport automatically submit them though? | 22:37 |
| seb128 | automatically submit what? | 22:38 |
| seb128 | the crashers due to G_DEBUG? | 22:38 |
| slangasek | I didn't think apport ever submitted anything automatically? Also, these processes are dying with the wrong signal so apport doesn't trap them | 22:38 |
| seb128 | slangasek: I think it does | 22:39 |
| bdmurray | Okay, perhaps I'm not understanding the issue | 22:39 |
| seb128 | the issue is that gnome-session set G_DEBUG which makes applications crash when they usually display a critical warning | 22:40 |
| bdmurray | There seem to be a lot of apport reported bugs with crashed with signal 5 though | 22:40 |
| seb128 | how much is a lot? | 22:40 |
| slangasek | seb128: apport handles SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT, SIGPIPE, SIGBUS, SIGILL; according to the email just cited, G_DEBUG is triggering a SIGTRAP | 22:41 |
| slangasek | hrm, no; that's apport's own signal handler, ignore me | 22:41 |
| seb128 | slangasek: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/187875 | 22:41 |
| seb128 | one example | 22:42 |
| bdmurray | seb128: 79 by querying on return_if_fail_warning | 22:43 |
| FrankQ | Apport definitely didn't fire up with these crashes, for me. | 22:43 |
| seb128 | looking at launchpad there has been one every hour or so today | 22:43 |
| seb128 | and I expect most people run hardy and not CDs and will get the update gnome-session | 22:44 |
| slangasek | ok, I can see that having everyone filing automatic crash reports between now and alpha5 would be a bad thing... | 22:44 |
| seb128 | bdmurray: you count duplicates? | 22:44 |
| seb128 | I really think that's not an issue | 22:44 |
| bdmurray | seb128: maybe my launchpad query isn't the best | 22:44 |
| seb128 | there is not so many people using alpha for something else than testing | 22:44 |
| seb128 | and installation will be updated | 22:44 |
| seb128 | installations | 22:45 |
| bdmurray | but if somebody has a statically configured network what will happen? | 22:45 |
| seb128 | what do you mean? | 22:45 |
| seb128 | you mean if somebody uses the alpha CD to do an install? | 22:46 |
| bdmurray | Right | 22:46 |
| seb128 | and needs to configure the network then? | 22:46 |
| bdmurray | yep | 22:46 |
| seb128 | well, I don't think many people rely on alpha CDs | 22:46 |
| seb128 | and you can unset G_DEBUG and run the software | 22:46 |
| seb128 | which will be in the notes | 22:46 |
| seb128 | and an easy enough workaround | 22:47 |
| seb128 | I think that's really a corner case and users running alpha CD should be able to understand how to unset an environment variable | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | my worry is just that we'll get less good feedback, really | 22:47 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: do you have a feeling for how effective the release notes are at preventing duplicate bug reports, particularly where apport is involved? | 22:47 |
| bdmurray | I see your point but personally I would rather err on the side of less bug reports | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | depends on the amount of work involved in respinning really | 22:47 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: feedback from who? | 22:48 |
| seb128 | bdmurray: I really doubt we will get that many bugs which will not be autoduped | 22:48 |
| seb128 | there is not so many critical warnings around | 22:49 |
| slangasek | there's at least enough to take out evolution, pidgin, and gnome network settings | 22:50 |
| FrankQ | and gnome-settings-daemon, I think | 22:51 |
| slangasek | anyway, we're already pushed back to Friday for the alpha release at this point, so I'd also rather err on the side of caution | 22:51 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: I'm of the opinion that the release notes are not widely read but don't recall the specifc bug that makes me think this | 22:51 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: actually it's bug 145382 from gutsy development | 22:53 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 145382 in busybox "[Gutsy] broken 70-persistent-net.rules" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/145382 | 22:53 |
| slangasek | ah, that bug looks familiar :) | 22:53 |
| bdmurray | I seem to recall it getting a lot of dups even after the bug was mentioned in the release notes | 22:54 |
| stgraber | indeed :) | 22:54 |
| TheMuso | Do the release notes get announced anywhere besides -devel-announce? | 22:54 |
| slangasek | not by me; where else should they be released? | 22:54 |
| slangasek | (are the alphas announced somewhere else?) | 22:54 |
| TheMuso | I don't know. bdmurray's point about people not reading them could have something to do with that though. | 22:55 |
| mathiaz | /bye bbl | 22:55 |
| TheMuso | I believe they are announced on the fridge, but can't remember whether the release notes are linked to or not. | 22:55 |
| bdmurray | Maybe if we reorganize http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha3 | 22:55 |
| bdmurray | so Caveats comes before download | 22:55 |
| FrankQ | if you look at the forums/#hardy+1 not much people read anything at all, even alpha testers | 22:55 |
| bdmurray | It is probably wishful thinking but isn't much work | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | seb128: the purpose of the alpha releases is to get feedback from testers on how we're doing | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | seb128: if the testers all just say "well, lots of GNOME applications crash" and give up at that point, that could be a net loss | 22:57 |
| * Gnine nods | 22:58 | |
| seb128 | cjwatson: right, without the crashs would be nicer | 23:01 |
