superm1if any archive admins are about, can you see why https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/0.21.0~fixes16338-0ubuntu3/+build/530056 hasn't hit the archive yet?  It built like 8 hours ago.03:00
superm1and its not in NEW03:01
nosredna_ekimjcastro: ping.03:19
slangasekHobbsee: hmm, not sure what you mean; is the bug a serious one that needs milestoned in the first place, is the bug marked as 'fix released'...?03:52
Hobbseeslangasek: it's a "i could reproduce this originally, and it's not good for the final release if it's reproducable - it needs testing during our testing for t604:06
* Hobbsee can't seem to reproduce it now04:06
slangasekok; probably nominating/targetting it for hardy would be best I think04:07
Hobbseemhmm.  with the rest of them, that people say "affects hardy.  we hope it gets fixed sometime, but we have no fix in sight" ones04:08
Hobbsee(that's why i don't use affecting hardy04:08
Hobbsee)04:08
superm1slangasek, would you mind checking why a build from about 8 hours didn't publish yet?04:09
Hobbseesuperm1: is probably soyuz bug :)04:09
slangasekHobbsee: well, I mean for the bugs that are targetted for hardy to actually be fixed for hardy in accordance with their severities :)04:09

superm1Hobbsee, now lets not be pessimistic or anything...04:10
Hobbseeoh damn, i didn't bring my laptop04:10
* Hobbsee could have rsynced.04:10
Hobbseesuperm1: of course not.  just aware of the way soyuz likes to work.04:10
Hobbseesuperm1: it's either in the new queue, or its' a bug, and soyuz has gotten hungry again.04:11
superm1its not in the new queue04:11
superm1nothing has changed with it that would have put it there, and i looked there a little bit ago to make sure04:11
superm1see and i dont even talk bad about soyuz, why would it want to eat my builds?04:11
superm1if anything it should eat yours :)04:11
Hobbseehah04:12
* Hobbsee looks, blinks04:13
Hobbseesuperm1: erm.  what makes you think it's not published?04:14
slangaseksuperm1: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/mythtv/0.21.0~fixes16338-0ubuntu3/ shows it as 'done', yeah04:14

Hobbseebut, uh, i suspect that's a soyuz bug :)04:17
superm1Hobbsee, its not a big deal for myself, but when the alternate disks go to build in 3 or 4 hours, they aren't going to like it04:18
slangasekthe CD builds pull directly from drescher, though04:19
slangasekso if there's an issue preventing it from being visible for archive.ubuntu.com, that won't affect the CD builds anyway04:20

slangasekogra_: artwork> which package does this refer to, precisely?07:26
ogra_ogra@ceron:~/devel/packages/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu-0.5.3$ dpkg -S /usr/share/backgrounds/simple-ubuntu.png07:27
ogra_ubuntu-wallpapers: /usr/share/backgrounds/simple-ubuntu.png07:27
ogra_wallpapers ...07:27
ogra_but i suspect other artwork packages might have grown as well ...07:28
TheMusoslangasek: I would need to check, but all the sounds for the sound scheme are at 44100Hz, 16 bit Stereo. At the least, I could resample them to 22050, and for a sound scheme, that wouldn't impact on their quality much for general use anyway.07:28
TheMusoslangasek: So, ubuntu-sounds being 2.3 currently, could be taken down to about 1.5/1.6 probably...07:28
slangasekogra_: yes, could be.  ubuntu-wallpapers hasn't changed since alpha-5, so it doesn't account for the size increase - but of course if we can slim it back down again, that would be welcome all the same07:29
ogra_TheMuso, do we still use .wav files ?07:29
TheMusoogra_: We do indeed, and thats all we can use, due to the audiofile library being used.07:29
TheMusoafaik07:29
ogra_slangasek, well, 3.5M is quite heavy for a wallpaper imho07:30
ogra_TheMuso, hrm ... we should really look into switching to ogg07:30
TheMusoogra_: files of many common formats (currently AIFF, AIFF-C, WAVE, NeXT/Sun, BICS, and raw data).07:30
ogra_to gain some compression07:30
TheMusoogra_: Willing to massively edit either the audiofile library, or GNOME code proper?07:30
ogra_TheMuso, lest talk about that after hardy is out :) i cant oredict my workload for interpid yet since so much changed in edubuntu land07:31
TheMusoogra_: Something like that needs doing upstrea.07:31
asacTheMuso: how do i test the scim thing?07:31
TheMusoogra_: I'm just saying its a lot of work.07:31
ogra_right, i'm aware :)07:32
TheMusoasac: I can't remember without looking it up./07:32
slangasekrather unfortunate that GNOME has this lovely gstreamer framework, but system sounds can only be .wav files :-P07:32
ogra_asac, open the scim gui, select de nodeadkeys, re-login is what i did07:32
TheMusoslangasek: Indeed.07:32
TheMusoslangasek: But it is an option, and I can do it if 1.3 or so MB is that critical.07:32
ogra_slangasek, there was a patch floating around that made the systeem sounds use gstreamer as well i think it was abandoned :(07:33
slangasekTheMuso: let me see what happens after the latest round of liveCD builds, and after I try to fix python2.5+db4.6 so we can kick db4.2 back off, and I'll see where we are; making changes to the fundamentals of GNOME sound handling is not a useful fix for alpha-6, and I'd rather not have to short us on sound quality either07:34
* cjwatson trims 50KB off the CD boot menu; every little helps07:35
TheMusoslangasek: Ok fair enough.07:35
* TheMuso should really do a new scheme one day...07:35
slangasekone place where I know we ought to be trimming for sure is the fact that we now have two distinct gtk2 engines being pulled in by human-theme on the Ubuntu CD07:36
slangasekbut I'm not sure which one needs to be gotten rid of yet07:36
cjwatsonslangasek: Ken didn't reply last night, I take it?07:37
Amaranthslangasek: Wasn't clearlooks already on the CD?07:37
ogra__it should be dropped if that is the case07:37
ogra__we default to murrine now07:38
slangasekcjwatson: nope, hoping he's a fairly early riser :)07:38
slangasekAmaranth: this is gtk2-engines-murrine vs. gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks07:38
Amaranthslangasek: oh, in that case i thought ubuntulooks was being dropped07:38
slangasekogra__: so -ubuntulooks isn't used and can be dropped without ill effect?07:38
Amaranththat was the point of redoing the themes using clearlooks and murrine07:38
slangasekAmaranth: makes sense, I just have no clue whether we're at the point where -ubuntulooks is ready to be dropped, do you?07:39
cjwatson-ubuntulooks is only 40KB though?07:39
ogra__slangasek, well, my installs all use murrine by default here, not sure kwwii wants to ship a fallback with Human, that would require clearlooks indeed07:39
cjwatsonpulls in a bunch of libraries, but I assume most of those are used by something else07:39
Amaranthslangasek: Well, I'd say no, the other two themes...need some work07:39
slangasekcjwatson: ah, argh07:39
slangasekcjwatson: alright, moving that to the "every little bit counts" pile07:40
ogra__heh07:40
slangasekcjwatson: yes, all the libs it pulls in are already there07:40
slangasekAmaranth: umm... are they "not happening for hardy" need some work, or "needs to get done by hardy" need some work?07:41
AmaranthI suspect the latter07:41
AmaranthProbably just need someone to spend a day with them polishing07:41
slangasekwhichever side they fall on, we should cut the other end off as long as it still leaves us with a functional desktop :-)07:41
=== doko_ is now known as doko
Amaranththey work fine, they just need some tweaking (tooltips aren't themed properly, etc)07:42
ogra__hmm, using pngcrush on the wallpaper actually gains zero ... thats really strange07:42
Amaranthogra__: someone crushed it already?07:43
ogra__Amaranth, but its stil 3.5M07:43
Amaranthwell, pngcrush just removes metadata07:44
ogra__it makes my classmate desktop unresponsive while it loads07:44
Amaranthit doesn't compress the image more or anything07:44

ogra__slangasek, amd64 alternate is fine ... lets just resort to that one :P07:46
Amaranthslangasek: well, we have fspot already07:46
ogra__slangasek, we have f-spot in the default install07:46
Amaranthbut this debate has gone on for like 3 releases now07:46
superm1slangasek, unfortunately it still used the wrong packages for this build.  guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow for more luck :(07:47

slangaseksuperm1: mmm, odd07:48
* pitti wonders what used up some 80 MB since alpha-407:48
Amaranthyeah, i thought alpha 4 was way under the limit07:49
Amaranthi can't think of anything that got added though07:49
pittisome 650 MB including some langpacks, yes07:49
slangasekthe manifest diff between alpha-5 and alpha-6 is short enough, but looking through for which packages have grown would take some doing07:49
Amaranthare those langpacks still on the disc?07:50
pittislangasek: for the alternates we could flip some large packages to lzma07:50
slangasekand none of the alpha-4 metadata is still around, sigh07:50
Amaranthmaybe just drop them again for now?07:50
pittiAmaranth: we did07:50
Amaranthoh, i missed that bit07:50
pittiAmaranth: that's where the other ~ 30 MB from my estimation (80 MB) come from07:50
Amaranthstupid splits :P07:50
slangasekpitti: alternates don't concern me nearly as much; as soon as OOo-l10n lands, I understand we'll already have more space there07:51
pittiah, right, lzma FTW07:51
ogra__is there a howto anywhere for switching packages to lzma ?07:51
* ogra__ would like to see how gcompris would behave with that07:52
cjwatsonit ought to be possible to take the manifest diff and feed it to something that downloads all the old packages from the librarian and compares sizes07:52
cjwatsonmight want to do that inside the DC, of course07:52
slangasekogra__: dh_builddeb -- -Zlzma; but calc already did the archive analysis on which packages benefit most, I think07:52
ogra__slangasek, ah, thanks07:53
cjwatsonogra__: dh_builddeb -- -Zlzma, pre-depends: dpkg (>= 1.14.12ubuntu3)07:53
ogra__well, gcompris is 60M source :)07:53
ogra__it should gain *something*07:53
slangasekogra__: there's a space/performance trade-off with lzma; the focus is (and IMHO should be) on deploying it first in the packages with the largest footprint07:54
slangasekhrm07:54
ogra__gcompris is my largest package in edu land ...07:54
slangasekbloody hell, I was looking at the ship seed before, not the live CD; live still has a number of langpacks that can be unseeded if necessary :/07:55
ogra__the binaries take about 80M or so ... i dont have space constraints on the addon CD atm though07:55

seb128pitti, slangasek: any opinion if we should switch evolution-data-server to use gnome-keyring in hardy? Currently passwords are stored in the user directory, keyring would be better but there is no migration which means users would have to re-enter their password on upgrade08:38

pittiseb128: if we could fix that, the evo keyring would be badly protected :)08:54

pittiseb128: rb> ok, fixing in gvm then08:55
seb128pitti: well, evolution passwords are not protected right now, evolution could read those and store them in the keyring if they are not there08:55
seb128pitti: yes08:55
pittioh, one more reason to do that switch08:55
pittiseb128: so, IMHO it's  worth an upstream bug report to do that transition, but if it won't happen, I don't think that it bites too much08:56
seb128pitti: I though we stopped using gvm for mounting?08:56

slangasekwell, I take the view that if it wasn't hurting users before now to have the passwords outside of gnome-keyring, leaving them there until a migration path is available is not a big deal and I'd rather have the user experience right09:02

cjwatsonI have a really impressive metacity bug here; the window switcher (i.e. the pop-up when you use C-A-<cursor> to move between workspaces) has got stuck on, and won't (a) go away or (b) let me move out of the first row of workspaces09:21
cjwatsonI'm going to have to kill my X session once various stuff has finished running, but is there anything I can do in the meantime to diagnose this?09:21
cjwatsonit started while some pretty heavy disk I/O was going on09:22
seb128are other window manager things, moving, switching between tasks, etc still working?09:22
seb128cjwatson: why do you need to restart the session? restarting the wm should be enough no?09:23
cjwatsonI can move between workspaces, but not Alt-Tab, and the window switcher has keyboard focus so I can't do anything useful09:23
cjwatsonrestarting the window manager would probably be enough, true09:24
seb128no idea on what debug information would be useful09:24
seb128it doesn't seem to be stucked so a backtrace would likely be of no use09:24
seb128the most useful information would be a way to trigger the bug09:25
seb128I would say you can just restart it09:25

Amaranthogra_cmpc: i believe the original reporter was scrolling in firefox when it happened, dunno if that'd hit the disk or not09:33
Amaranthcertainly spikes your CPU09:33
ogra_cmpcindeed09:33
FujitsuThat fits with my tab key getting stuck, it was during 100% load.09:33
ogra_cmpci only have it happening on special key combos (alt+tab etc) and if there is actually lots of disk IO09:33
Fujitsu(CPU load)09:34
ogra_cmpchavent seen it in normal browser operation or so09:34
RAOFogra_cmpc: I'm not sure that it's related to CPU load; it also seems to correlate with mouse activity.09:35

pwnguinesp if i run something like apt-get upgrade09:37
RAOFAlso works in WoW, but you don't need to scroll madly.09:37
cjwatsoniwj conjectured that it might have something to do with the fact that my CPU is hyperthreaded09:38

cjwatsonthere is no consideration involved and therefore it cannot be09:42

ogra_cmpcheh, googling ubuntu promise brings up an intresting pile of scsi howtos :)09:45
dbmoodbok ... so how is it different to the dfsg ?09:45
cjwatsonwe are not going to compromise Ubuntu's freedom as stated on the philosophy and licensing pages09:45
dbmoodbsure09:46
cjwatsonthe differences between Ubuntu's licensing policy and the DFSG are quite small; in essence they amount to more liberal treatment of non-code works09:46
pwnguinwell number one, developers can't vote to change the policy as far as i can tell09:47
cjwatsonsee "Documentation, Firmware, and Drivers" on the licensing page09:47
dbmoodbok...09:47
cjwatsonother than that, the Ubuntu licensing policy is largely just a rephrasing of the DFSG09:47
cjwatsonand that should be pretty obvious from reading them side-by-side09:48

ogra_cmpc(i wouldnt even expected such a thing exists, ssh should cover security here anyway)11:10
sorenogra_cmpc: Well, it needs to divide the stuff it gets passed as -o options into a few groups.. Stuff that is for sshfs itself, stuff that's for mount, stuff that's for fuse, stuff that's for ssh, and everything else. I suppose it's debatable if the last to groups should be joined (and just expect that unknown options are for ssh). *shrug*11:20
ogra_cmpcwell, i'd just add an extra option for ssh specific stuff11:20

jdongogra_cmpc: I have a feeling even non-subnotebook users would be interested in a lightweight too :). That'll really take off12:59
ogra_cmpcseems bryce already started working on a lighter and better to use inkscape ...12:59
cjwatsonjdong: not if somebody submits a patch for that to casper, no12:59
mjg59jdong: Though the situation is unlikely, it's valid to hotplug PCI cards12:59
cjwatsonjdong: though I doubt it would be useful; surely xorg autoconfiguration will never pick the restricted drivers13:00
jdongmjg59: hmm sounds like it's time for a less static structure to lrm in that case13:00
ogra_cmpcjdong, well i thought about dedicated software that runs at the cut down resolution etc13:00
jdongcjwatson: yeah on the livecd it'd be less than useful13:00
cjwatsonjdong: so lrm-video will never select any of those drivers during live CD boot13:00
cjwatsonjdong: exactly, that's why :)13:00
ogra_cmpcnot only performance but also UI improvements13:00
cjwatsonjdong: oh, do you mean using lrm-video to decide whether they should be loaded on other systems?13:00
jdongcjwatson: jockey would also need some sort of ability to load13:00
jdongcjwatson: yeah my initial thought was for already installed systems13:00
jdongcjwatson: ogra_cmpc isn't the first time I've helped someone dramatically improve RAM problems by disalbing LRM13:01
cjwatsonjdong: sounds reasonable, though I'm not volunteering :)13:01
jdong:)13:01
mjg59jdong: If you've got swap, l-r-m isn't really a problem. If you don't have swap, you're already running outside the standard setup :)13:02
ogra_cmpcjdong, well, i know about the issue (i think i was the first one to discover it in dapper with ltsp back then) ... i just didnt bother to look if the removal part of my image builder worked right :)13:02
ogra_cmpcsince it worked last time (a week ago) and didnt install lrm first place13:02
jdongogra_cmpc: yes, I trust that you'd know about the issue, but average new Ubuntu user with lightweight PC probably has no idea13:02
ogra_cmpcjdong, well, its our job to fix it for them ;)13:03
ogra_cmpcwhat would really be helpful for the low spec devices would be a module profiling mechanism that generates proper module lists for initramfs ...13:04
ogra_cmpcthe onews we have atm are still loading a ton of extra stuff i actuall dont need13:05
ogra_cmpcif i only load the 10 modules i actually need for booting, the classmate boots in about 20% of the time it uses for probing the whole module list13:06
* ogra_cmpc reboots13:07
ogra_cmpchmm, intresting ... according to htop i didnt earn a byte with removing lrm ...13:13

Riddellmvo: here https://edge.launchpad.net/~kitterman/+archive13:27
ScottKIf someone could suggest a strategy for dealing with the no Xorg, I can probably implement it.13:28
ScottKSo far I've just patched stuff that I can reproduce locally or that I can see in the code how to catch with no regression risk.13:29
ScottKmvo: Point me in the right direction and I'll give it a shot.13:30
mvoScottK: its a while since I touched it last. I was thinking of a) making it more robust b) making it return stuff like "unknown" or "auto-detect" when there is no section in the xorg.conf file so that the GUI can deal with it. but I'm currently looking at the bugreport first to see what the most common problems are13:32
ScottKmvo: OK.  My python is reasonably robust, but my xorg knowledge is very shallow, so I'll need some hand holding, but can get it done with some guidance (pun intended).13:34
mjg59bryce: Uh. Why did you remoe the entries for wacom tablets in the default xorg.conf? Now people need to edit text files to get their hardware to work.13:35
mvoScottK: heh :) I come back to you when I have a slightly better idea, ok? do you have commit access to the upstream repository? I imagine we will want to put the changes upstream too13:35
ScottKmvo: No.  I've no involvement with upstream.  I figured to get some things sorted and then send patches.13:36
* mvo nods13:36
