rtcDid someone already fix the issue noted by Knuth in his "Flame About 64-bit Pointers" (http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/news.html)?00:31
rtcAh, found it in the bugtracker...00:34

VadiQuick question, but how does dependency resolution work when I remove a package? I ran into this problem - installed the emacs package, it for 67mb of other stuff. Removed it, and it only cleared 40kb of stuff.02:10
VadiI had to manually go into synaptic and remove the things it dragged in. Not good, because there's a ton of other programs that can probably leave packages about and I won't know about them...02:11
mahmoud_!offtopic | Vadi02:11
ubotuVadi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!02:11
VadiUh huh. Exactly which do I go to?02:12
mahmoud_join #ubuntu02:12
VadiThat's a support channel, I was already there.02:12
VadiI need a technical explanation, please.02:12
ScottK2That doesn't make this a support channel, but in a console window do sudo apt-get autoremove and that'll get rid of it (assuming you aren't on Dapper).02:13
VadiI did it, but that didn't work.02:13
VadiIt said everything was okay.02:13
VadiBut, oh well, whatev. I'll file a bug report02:14

Alohalifeless, thanks :)04:13
Alohalifeless, what gathering are ubuntu sprints centered on?04:16
Alohaoh ijust realized soyuz is russian for launchpad04:18
AfterDeathAloha: in the general sense, a sprint is using a burst of energy to run as fast as possible (unlike normal running, where you would run at a pace that would allow you to keep running for a long time)04:22
AlohaAfterDeath, i know. i was wondering about software sprints. i used to run track04:22
AfterDeathah04:22
jdongAloha: sprint's an overpriced poor coverage north american cellphone provider :)04:29
Alohajdong, i use AT&T ;)04:29
superm1jdong, well the nextel side of things is overpriced at least, but my coverage is great04:29
jdongAloha: I use AT&T too... it's great at my home in MI04:30
jdongAloha: but here on the MIT campus, I can freaking use Skype to make calls from more places than I can use my cell04:30
superm1jdong, you need to hack together some sort of mic for the touch and then port over an SIP app04:32
superm1thats a much better project than what you mentioned in -motu the other day :)04:32
jdongsuperm1: well first I need to fix some.. er.. packaging issues.. with the MIT intro to EECS laptops :)04:33
jdongsuperm1: my predecessor went kinda metapackage-happy....04:33
superm1haha04:33
jdongand to make matters worse, several metapackages contain VITAL INIT SCRIPTS04:33
jdong:D04:34
superm1running what distro?04:34
jdongsuperm1: Feisty :)04:34
StevenK!jdong04:34
ubotu<Hobbsee> jdong: yes, but you're FULL OF CRACK!04:34
jdongUbuntu is well loved around here04:34
superm1jdong, just ditch feisty and port it all to hardy?04:34
jdongthe next version of the campus public workstation OS will be based on Ubuntu04:34
jdongsuperm1: wish I can, but we use a proprietary kernel module atm04:34
StevenKFor what?04:35
jdongsuperm1: fortunately, we have one bright student working on reverse engineering that04:35
jdongStevenK: NIDAQ data acquisition box04:35
superm1jdong, the module isn't available on newer kernels?04:35
jdongthe thing hardlocks and/or panics the kernel when it isn't happy04:35
StevenKNice04:35
superm1jdong, to build against newer kernels that is04:35
jdongsuperm1: from what I understand, it can give RMS heart attacks from 3 floors down04:35
jdong:)04:35
Alohajdong, that sucks. i don't have to worry about coverage too much. I live on an island04:35
superm1haha04:35
jdongsuperm1: but yeah.... it is full of problems the least of which is we have to force-dep on the original released feisty kernel04:36
jdong(YES... it's a BINARY kernel module....)04:36
superm1oh that's really unfortunate04:36
jdongthere's no such thing as "compiling" 'round here :D04:36
superm1you guys tried to contact NIDAQ?04:36
jdongonce this rev enged one kicks off, I'm gonna be happy04:36
jdongsuperm1: I'm not sure, this is the first day I've been submersed into the inner world of the 6.01 course04:37
superm1ah04:37
jdongsuperm1: last term I served as a lab assistant primarily answering student questions on lab assignments and python code04:37
jdongthis term.... I'm kinda managing all the course laptops and stuff too04:37
superm1jdong, but for the machiens that don't end up needing support for the data acquisition box, they could go to a newer release could they not?04:38
jdongsuperm1: well they all will by the 4th week of labs04:38
jdongsuperm1: as I said, upgrading Ubuntu is one of the smaller concerns04:38
jdongright now, there's 4 padlocked RHEL lab workstations that are hardlocked04:38
jdongthe datestamp on one of them is 200004:38
jdongapparently it's padlocked so well nobody knows how to get in :D04:39
jdongoverall though it's a finely run class. Just shows how fun technology can be at times :D04:39

Hobbseemorning pitti!06:54
pittihey Hobbsee, hi ion_106:54
slytherinHi all, we have latest kernel in repos linux-image-2.6.24-7-generic but linux-image-generic still depends on linux-image-2.6.24-5-generic. Is this a known issue? The reason I am asking is that the latest kernel fixes ibook boot issue on hardy but it won't be installed in standard upgrade.07:29
Hobbseeslytherin: normal for a while, until each image has been out for a bit07:30
Hobbseeslytherin: has linux-image-* built on all arches yet?07:30
Hobbseeslytherin: and has l-r-m and l-u-m built on all arches yet?07:31
slytherinHobbsee: let me check07:31
mjg59slytherin: linux-ubuntu-modules isn't built yet, I believe07:31
pittino, lum and lrm weren't uploaded yet07:32
slytherinHobbsee: hppa build for linux-image has failed, ia64 is currently building.07:32
Hobbseeslytherin: the above 2 conditions are why, then07:32
slytherinThanks for info07:32
slytherinI am also eager to check if the new driver manager handles broadcom 43xx devices because there is now a new driver.07:33
pittislytherin: not yet, but I think I'll manage to add one for b43 in the next week07:46
pittislytherin: can I ping you once it's ready, for testing?07:46
pittislytherin: would be great if someone could test it before I upload it07:47
TheMusopitti: Add me to that list also. I've a mini here iwth a b43 I think it is, so I'd be happy to help with testing also.07:48
pitticool07:48
TheMusoYeah, a BCM430607:49
pittiTheMuso, slytherin: I don't know anything about b43 and b43-fwcutter; from a clean install, is it enough to install b43-fwcutter and it does the rest? if not, which steps are necessary in addition07:50
TheMusopitti: All I need do after an install, is install fwcutter, and I think, it works from there.07:50
pittiok, great07:51
pittithat should be easy enough, then I just need the detection07:51
pittiTheMuso: do you have the current jockey installed?07:51
TheMusopitti: I plan on doing a fresh install in the next few days, so will try the procedure again. If its any different, I'll ping you.07:52
pittiTheMuso: can you please do "jockey-gtk --debug --list >/tmp/jockey.log 2>&1"07:52
TheMusopitti: Just updating the box now..07:52
pittiTheMuso: and send me /tmp/jockey.log? that should help me to verify the current detection07:52
TheMusopitti: Will do.07:53
pittiawesome, thanks07:53
TheMusoAs soon as the mini update.07:53
TheMusoupdates07:53
* TheMuso gets dinner while waiting...07:54
slytherinpitti: I will be happy to test. It is jut that I am not sure if the firmware needed with new driver is same as the old driver. Also the old driver is now blacklisted in favour of new one. I will do some manual installation over weekend needed to make the wireless work with latest kernel and then let you know.08:08
pittislytherin: great, thanks; maybe you can do the same --debug --list command that I asked above?08:14
pittislytherin: the handler will just detect if you have a broadcom wifi, and if so, install b43-fwcutter08:14
pittislytherin: if you need anything in addition, please tell me, so that the jockey handler can do it automatically08:14
slytherinpitti: will do but I will have to wait for the kernel upgrade, right? because current kernel does not boot.08:15
pittioh :)08:15
* Hobbsee sighs at her connectino08:16
dholbachgood morning08:16
slytherinpitti: this is specific to ibook only. related to some old ide drivers. By the way, bcm43xx-fwcutter is in universe. Shouldn't it really be in main and included in CD? because how are you supposed to install it if your connection is not working.08:17
Hobbseemorning dholbach08:18
dholbachhey Hobbsee08:18
pittislytherin: if it's not working, then it's useless anyway, because it needs to fetch the firmware from the net08:21
slytherinpitti: You can have firmware saved locally. At least 'Restricted Manager' allowed using a local .so file.08:22
pittiMacSlow: introducing ubuntu specific strings in patches is ok, as long as the package updates the POT during build08:23
pittiMacSlow: if the package uses cdbs and gnome.mk, this will happen automatically08:23
pittislytherin: hm, true08:24
MacSlowpitti, the packages in question are libwnck and gnome-panel08:24
pittiMacSlow: if not, you have to call intltool-update -p08:24
MacSlowpitti, that one I know08:24
pittiMacSlow: ah, both use cdbs, and gnome.mk I suppose08:24
pittiMacSlow: so, just patch the strings, and the POT and LP translations will automatically get them08:25
pittiso that people can start translating them in LP08:25
MacSlowpitti, for testing I've provided my own translation for de08:26
pittiMacSlow: you can add your new translations as a patch, but IMHO it's easier to maintain if you just translate them in LP08:26
iiPinglo08:26
stgrabermoin08:27
pittihi stgraber08:27
MacSlowpitti, well since I cannot add anything to LP myself (in an official packages) I've to wait for seb128/mvo/you to sponsor/integrate my stuff08:27

TheMusoslytherin: Actually, I haven't been able to boot recent 2.6.24 kernels on my mini either.08:33
TheMusoAs the mini has notebook components, I'd say they both use the same IDE chip.08:33
pittiTheMuso, slytherin: FYI, I created the first version of the b43 handler, which should work at least in general; I'll do the testing/fine-tuning together with you later08:36
TheMusopitti: Sure.08:38
TheMusopitti: You should have mail from me sometime soon.08:49
pitti\o/08:52
pittibrb, testing new udev08:52
TheMusopitti: Actually, discard that. Seems the bcm43xx module wasn't loaded for some reason.08:56
slytherinTheMuso: it is blacklisted in favour of new driver. check /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist08:57
slytherinTheMuso: and the not booting problem is fixed in latest kernel uploads.08:57
TheMusoslytherin: Yeah I'm using 7.11.08:57
TheMusoslytherin: Is the newer driver in lum?08:57
slytherinTheMuso: the driver is in kernel itself. But I am not sure which firmware it needs. Check dmesg, it should have some message related to b43 firmware08:59
mjg59b43 needs revision 4 firmware. b43legacy needs revision 3.08:59
TheMusoslytherin: Whats the module name08:59
mjg59bcm43xx uses revision 308:59
MacSlowseb128, greetings08:59
seb128hi MacSlow09:00
slytherinand I guess b43 will need b43-fwcutter instead of old bcm43xx-fwcutter09:00
mjg59The issue isn't the application09:00
mjg59bcm43xx-fwcutter can extract version 4 firmware09:00
mjg59But you need different firmware for b43 and b43legacy, and we need to support both09:01
mjg59b43 can't drive everything bcm43xx can09:01
TheMusoah I see09:01
mjg59It's made even more difficult by the latest hardware needing even newer firmware09:02
slytherindamn, I thought bcm43xx chipsets are not used anymore.09:03
slytherinTheMuso: by the way, the module names are b43 and b43legacy. But I am not sure which one handles which chipset09:04
TheMusoslytherin: Yeah I worked it out.09:05
TheMusopitti: Oh ok, the one I sent you is the right one.09:06
mjg59b43legacy handles old cores. b43 handles new cores. You can't tell from the PCI ID alone.09:07
TheMusoWell on my mini, b43 gets loaded, and there is no firmware change needed.09:09
IulianGood morning.09:10
slytherinmjg59: then how can one decide which to use if not from PCI ID? Or do we trust the autodetection?09:12
mjg59Does it use the ssb bus implementation yet?09:14
MacSlow*sigh*09:18
StevenKMacSlow!09:21
MacSlowcan someone tell me what's wrong with the way I created http://people.ubuntu.com/~mmueller/02_expose_wm_keybindings.patch, which not apply to libwnck-2.21.90 when doing dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot ?09:21
StevenKMacSlow: Can you pastebin the error you get?09:21
StevenKMacSlow: It also doesn't patch configure09:22

cjwatsonpitti: output of jockey-gtk --debug --list for me; no mention of b43, weirdly09:30
cjwatsonMacSlow: configure is in fact usually *not* detected to avoid build-depending on autoconf et al09:31
pitticjwatson: right, no ssb: modaliases, hmm09:31
cjwatsonwhich sometimes causes problems - generally regarded as better to have the maintainer generate that locally and verify that it's correct09:31

MacSlowStevenK, pitti, cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5506309:31

MacSlowStevenK, pitti, cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5506309:32
cjwatsonpitti: gets autoloaded, along with bcm43xx09:32
MacSlowI created the patch for libwnck like this09:32
asaccalc: any info on ooo + xul yet?09:32
cjwatsonpitti: I had to blacklist bcm43xx to avoid problems09:32
pitticjwatson: right, bcm43xx is blacklisted by default now09:32
asaccjwatson: i think latest update blacklisted it09:33
asacack09:33
TheMusocjwatson: My log didn't have b43 either09:33
cjwatsonMacSlow: there should be a log somewhere with the output of patch09:33
pittihm, so I wonder how b43 can autoload if /sys does not have the corresponding modalias09:33
cjwatsonMacSlow: it may be that you didn't generate it against the immediate parent patch, and collided09:33
pittiMacSlow: unpack the source to a fresh and clean directory, cdbs-edit-patch 02_expose_wm_keybindings.patch, resolve the conflicts09:34
TheMusopitti, cjwatson, my ifconfig -a also gives this: http://www.pastebin.ca/89482709:35
TheMusoThis is with b43 autoloaded.09:35
mjg59b43 doesn't use PCI modaliases09:36
mjg59It uses ssb ones09:36
MacSlowcjwatson, I guess you mean these http://people.ubuntu.com/~mmueller/02_expose_wm_keybindings.patch.level-0.log http://people.ubuntu.com/~mmueller/02_expose_wm_keybindings.patch.level-1.log http://people.ubuntu.com/~mmueller/02_expose_wm_keybindings.patch.level-2.log09:36
mjg59ssb has the PCI modalias09:36
mjg59Broadcom uses a bus called ssb - depending on what sort of host bus you have, the ssb bus will be bridged onto that09:36
StevenKMacSlow: Yeah, that's them.09:36
StevenKMacSlow: You probably have them locally now, too. :-)09:37
cjwatsonpitti: /sys/bus/ssb/devices/ssb0:0 is my Broadcom card, though09:37
mjg59The PCI device is just a PCI to ssb bridge09:37
MacSlowStevenK, of course09:37
mjg59So ssb gets autoloaded, and then generates modalias events for the Broadcom cores09:37
MacSlowStevenK, still I don't understand why that fails09:37
mjg59pitti: Does that explain things?09:38
MacSlowI did use cdbs and created the paches as always09:38
StevenKmjg59: What does ssb expand out to? Wikipedia failed me.09:38
mjg59Silicon Sonics Backplane09:38
StevenKMacSlow: Because the patch doesn't apply for some reason.09:38
TheMusopitti: Mine is /sys/bus/ssb/devices/ssb0:009:38
StevenKMacSlow: Either too much fuzz, or failed hunks09:38
cjwatsonmjg59: ssb doesn't seem to expose modalias files in /sys09:39
cjwatsonwhich is what jockey is looking for09:39
mjg59cjwatson: That's potentially the case09:39
mjg59I'm in San Francisco right now, so I don't have access to a Broadcom right now09:39
cjwatsonMacSlow: level-1 is the relevant one; three failed hunks for some reason09:39

MacSlowit drives me nuts when additional levels of "infrastructure" suddenly make my created patches not apply anymore09:40
StevenKMacSlow: But it just runs patch ...09:40
pittimjg59: yes, thanks; I just need to find a way how to grab it out of /sys then09:40
TheMusopitti: ah ok. My mini is on ethernet, and I never use wireless on it, so thats alright for now.09:41
pittiTheMuso: can you tar up your /sys and send it to me?09:42
TheMusopitti: Can do.09:42
pittiTheMuso: if I cannot rely on moaliases, I need to find a b43 specific way of autodetection09:42
pittiTheMuso: thanks muchly09:42
pittiTheMuso: I'll do "moalias present" || "b43 ssb custom detection" then09:42
mjg59pitti: The b43 and b43legacy modules do, at least, have the revisions they each support in them09:42
MacSlowe.g. just running: patch -p1 <../02_expose_wm_keybindings.patch (while in a freshly grabbed libwnck-2.21.90 works flawless)09:43
StevenKMacSlow: Ah ha. Then the first patch affects it09:43
pittimjg59: right; I hope I can pick out the vendor/product/revision IDs somewhere from /sys and compare it against the modalias lines from modinfo b4309:43
slytherinpitti: in my case b43 got loaded automatically and dmesg had a message that it needs firmware. That is on ibook G4. But I don't have access to the machine right now so can not give more info.09:43
slytherinpitti: I will be able to help on weekend though.09:44
MacSlowStevenK, but I started cdbs with the first patch as parameter09:44
pittislytherin: thanks; if all goes well, I'll already have a handler to test for you09:44
* mjg59 sighs at the kernel09:44
MacSloweven then it applied in the cdbs-session09:44
mjg59It's being mean :(((09:44
StevenKMacSlow: Wierd. I'd follow pitti's suggestion of using cdbs-edit-patch09:44

* StevenK hides09:45
mjg59pitti: Sweet09:45
pitti. o O { and I thought that modalias paradigm would be a reliable standard nowadays... }09:46

cjwatsonalthough the decision is not final10:31
cjwatsonhubuntu: LTS is not, in general, an argument for switching to new versions of software that are a complete rewrite and are still as yet rather lightly tested10:32
hubuntuthen it will probably end in backports? I10:32
sorenQuite the contrary, really.10:32
cjwatsonbackports obviously has a much less strict policy10:33
hubuntuI know, I'm just all excited about 0.7 and been waiting for a long time for its inclusion... Will the gnome-obex-vfs be included by default? Phones and ubuntu work perfectly now with it, shouldn't it probably be included by default?10:34
hubuntuit's just a shame that the bluetooth applet is there with the option to browse the phone and it just doesn't work out-of-the-box and has to be installed manually...10:36
seb128hubuntu: obex has not been ported to gvfs yet so it doesn't work at all in hardy10:36
hubuntucjwatson: yeah, but backports are not supported...10:37
cjwatsonthat's correct10:38
hubuntuseb128: so we are going for gvfs and drop bluetooth support? Anyone thinking about blueman as an option? I do not know if it supports gvfs but it sure works better than anything else i have tried...10:38
hubuntuok then hardy+1 will be the one to fiunally bring VPN to the masses :)10:39

ion_(At least when you have a shell where you can type /u/s/d/compi/RE and get to /usr/share/doc/compiz-core/README with a small amount of keypreses)12:27
Mithrandirion_: it's useful for nick-completion, I find. I've pondered binding it to word-completion too, but suspect I'd develop zshenia in my irc client too.12:28
HobbseeMithrandir: is this a problem?12:29
MithrandirHobbsee: it wears out my tab key.12:30
StevenKzsh users only need Tab and Enter anyway12:30
Mithrandiron the other hand, I should be able to just bind all keys on my keyboard to tab and make do with that.12:30
