| cjwatson | which means that the version of openoffice.org-hyphenation in hardy (and incidentally also feisty and gutsy) shares a file with the current version in hardy | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | more usually the second named package will be from an older release, and you can use that as a hint for the << you need to use in Replaces | 00:00 |
| calc | ok | 00:00 |
| cjwatson | it looks like that particular one is out of date, mind you | 00:00 |
| jwendell | pochu, thanks | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | ah, it's because it was in hardy, and therefore you need a Replaces to account for that | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | not necessarily that it is currently in hardy - it keeps historical information | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | note that those lists will have false positives where dpkg-divert is involved and appropriate manual overrides haven't been added | 00:02 |
| calc | oh ok | 00:03 |
| calc | yea that list looks really nice :) | 00:03 |

| theunixgeek | What's the difference between a delete_event and a destroy event in GTK? | 00:37 |
| nxvl | is there any way to debug a postinst without building the package? | 01:12 |
| cjwatson | you can edit them in place in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | 01:17 |
| cjwatson | most are shell, so adding 'set -x' near the top will give you an execution trace | 01:18 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: the problem is that i need it to be on fresh install | 01:23 |
| nxvl | mm | 01:23 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: i will try to check what to do, thanks :D | 01:23 |
| cjwatson | nxvl: 'dpkg --unpack foo.deb', edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/foo.postinst, 'dpkg --configure foo' | 01:23 |
| cjwatson | debugging the preinst is harder; for that you need to unpick the deb with ar and tar and then put it back together again the way you want it | 01:24 |
| cjwatson | doable but tedious | 01:24 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: oh! thanks i will unpack it :D | 01:24 |
| nxvl | mm | 01:27 |
| nxvl | but unpack is running postinst | 01:27 |
| cjwatson | incorrect | 01:27 |
| slangasek | no | 01:27 |
| slangasek | postinst is the --configure stage, which happens after unpack | 01:28 |
| nxvl | i'm doing dpkg --unpack and it is running things i have write on .postinstt | 01:29 |
| cjwatson | then you have made a mistake somewhere. dpkg --unpack does not run the postinst. | 01:30 |
| nxvl | can it be running the .config? | 01:32 |
| cjwatson | (except in cases where it needs to roll back from errors) | 01:32 |
| cjwatson | it might run the .config if you have '. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule' in your .preinst script | 01:32 |
| ogra | swapped postinst with preinst ? | 01:32 |
| cjwatson | http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase | 01:32 |
| cjwatson | dpkg doesn't call .config directly, only when you source the confmodule | 01:33 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: thanks | 01:33 |
| cjwatson | (because debconf is only integrated into dpkg with spit-and-sawdust) | 01:33 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: thats the why | 01:33 |
| nxvl | wooohooo | 01:33 |
| * nxvl HUGS cjwatson | 01:33 | |
| cjwatson | the difference between config and postinst is rather important ... :-) | 01:33 |
| nxvl | if i run "dpkg --reconfigure foo" it will run the scripts on /var/lib/dpkg/info/ doesn't it? | 01:37 |
| nxvl | err | 01:38 |
| nxvl | dpkg-configure | 01:38 |
| cjwatson | there is no such program. Do you mean dpkg-reconfigure? | 01:41 |
| cjwatson | read its code and look around line 96 for what it does | 01:42 |
| cjwatson | it's quite a short program | 01:42 |
| bryce | is there a way to set upstart to boot up a system without starting gdm? | 01:48 |
| bryce | essentially, boot into root level 2? | 01:49 |
| bryce | er run level 2 | 01:49 |
| slangasek | the default runlevel with upstart is 2; though I understand what you mean, that runlevel layout is RH-specific | 01:50 |
| j1mc | hi all - i asked in #ubuntu-motu earlier, but got no response. the xubuntu-docs are finished. (you can view them at: http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ ) would someone be willing to build them for me, or to help me build them? | 01:51 |

| slangasek | TheMuso: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/all/all doesn't show any test results, is that validation in progress? | 01:52 |
| TheMuso | ugh hang on | 01:52 |
| TheMuso | _MMA_: ^^^ | 01:52 |
| * TheMuso only tested a manual partition install with creating new partitions... I have no time to do other tests, so I supposed I'll have to leave it up to the others to give the final word then. _MMA_ stated that he was happy, dispite having only done one form of install, which one I am not sure... | 01:54 | |
| bryce | hrm, well guess I can just have them twiddle /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 01:56 |
| slangasek | bryce: so in theory, you could get what you wanted by mv /etc/rc3.d/{S30,K30}gdm, and then, if upstart's sysvinit emulation is feature-complete, append '3' to the end of the boot line in grub | 01:56 |
| bryce | ok | 01:57 |

| calc | are there any negatives to using wubi? | 04:03 |
| tritium | You have to have Windows? | 04:04 |
| bdmurray | heh | 04:05 |
| ash211 | you'll be running two OSs at once, so things will be slow | 04:06 |
| ash211 | at least Windows-slow :) | 04:06 |
| RAOF | ash211: But you won't, right? You boot into linux on the metal; it's not virtualised. | 04:08 |
| ash211 | I'm pretty sure it is, actually. | 04:09 |
| ash211 | It's homepage says you don't need to modify partitions or bootloaders, so I'm thinking it must run as an app within windows | 04:09 |
| ash211 | everything I'm reading seems to point that way | 04:09 |
| ash211 | http://wubi-installer.org/ | 04:09 |
| RAOF | It doesn't change the partitions because it makes a filesystem in a file on your existing NTFS partition, and it doesn't add a *new* bootloader because it uses Windows' existing bootloader. | 04:11 |
| calc | ash211: it doesn't run on top of windows | 04:11 |
| ash211 | hmm, didn't know that | 04:11 |
| ash211 | looks like I had a fundamental misunderstanding in how it works | 04:12 |
| calc | evand: any ideas? | 04:12 |
| calc | i need to blow away my laptop anyway so i was considering just reinstalling ubuntu in wubi form since it appears ubuntu supports ntfs write properly now | 04:13 |
| calc | i need windows occasionally on bare metal (not via vm) to update stuff | 04:13 |
| bdmurray | stuff sounds mysterious | 04:15 |
| calc | hmm sounds like hibernation/suspend may not work on it | 04:18 |
| calc | which isn't good for a laptop | 04:18 |
| Griswold | Wonder if wubi runs in Wine... | 04:19 |
| ash211 | now that's a headache! | 04:19 |
| Griswold | Yeah :P | 04:21 |
| Griswold | Recently, we got Cygwin running in Wine :) | 04:21 |
| Griswold | Like in the last couple weeks, iirc. | 04:21 |
| Griswold | There are still some problems, like GCC doesn't work properly, etc. | 04:21 |
| Griswold | But the basic shell runs. :) | 04:21 |
| Griswold | Wubi edits the bootloader? | 04:22 |
| calc | wubi is just an installer i think | 04:22 |
| calc | that causes the windows bootloader to load something to bootstrap a loopback linux boot | 04:22 |
| calc | so no it wouldn't run under wine | 04:23 |
| calc | or at least would be very unlikely to do so properly | 04:23 |
| Griswold | Yeah | 04:24 |
| bdmurray | there is some info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/Wubi | 04:28 |
| === kitterma is now known as ScottK2 | ||

| calc | anyone familiar with virt-manager? | 05:12 |
| slangasek | I know it can be used to administer guests on a remote server, because that's what the release notes in front of me say ;) | 05:14 |
| calc | heh yea | 05:14 |
| calc | well i am trying to get virt-manager/kvm setup so i can get rid of vmware | 05:15 |
| calc | but it won't let me select the "enable kernel/hardware acceleration" option | 05:15 |
| slangasek | 64-bit system? | 05:15 |
| calc | yea | 05:15 |
| slangasek | laptop? | 05:15 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: I'm having issues using my wubi install of ubuntu should that be a wubi bug? | 05:16 |
| calc | 64bit desktop that has the vmx extension | 05:16 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: as I starting point, I suppose so? | 05:16 |
| slangasek | calc: then you're already a step ahead of me in the analysis :) | 05:16 |
| calc | thats all i know to do | 05:16 |
| * calc thinks there should a setup page on the wiki about it | 05:17 | |
| slangasek | I agree | 05:17 |
| calc | keescook: you awake? | 05:17 |
| calc | iirc keescook was mentioning he was using it earlier today | 05:17 |
| calc | i was going to host all my images on my desktop to get rid of the space issue on my laptop | 05:18 |
| calc | and then found out it is supposed to run it faster with hardware accel, but its still grayed out | 05:18 |
| calc | my laptop is one of the cheapo chips with it disabled | 05:18 |
| calc | apparently the chips they use in store laptops don't have it (or didn't last june) | 05:19 |
| slangasek | my laptop was not cheap, but it's still disabled :P | 05:19 |
| slangasek | I'm told that it's largely a BIOS issue | 05:19 |
| calc | slangasek: oh | 05:19 |
| slangasek | at least for mine | 05:19 |
| calc | i think for some its disabled in cpu itself, and iirc mine is like that | 05:20 |
| calc | its a C2D T5300 | 05:20 |
| slangasek | right, mine's a T5500; I hadn't heard about the possibility of disablement within the CPU | 05:20 |
| slangasek | I just know "no worky" | 05:20 |
| calc | ah ok | 05:21 |
| Amaranth | as i understand it it's just your BIOS locking it out because you didn't buy the business laptop | 05:21 |
| Amaranth | not that it helps | 05:21 |
| calc | Amaranth: so its not something that the kernel can just override like it can in most other cases? | 05:22 |
| Amaranth | I guess not | 05:22 |
| Amaranth | what laptop is this? | 05:23 |
| Amaranth | oh, desktop | 05:23 |
| Amaranth | hrm | 05:23 |
| calc | well on my desktop it shows that it supports it in cpuinfo | 05:24 |
| calc | but virt-manager won't let me select the box | 05:24 |
| calc | on my laptop it doesnt show that it supports it in cpuinfo | 05:24 |
| Amaranth | ah, so what laptop? | 05:25 |
| calc | toshiba satellite A205-4577 | 05:25 |
| Amaranth | of course the hardware extensions don't really speed things up | 05:25 |
| Amaranth | vmware will still blow it away | 05:26 |
| calc | Amaranth: oh :-\ | 05:26 |
| Amaranth | the vmware guys found that when they made vmware use the hardware extensions things got slower | 05:27 |
| calc | http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/core2duo.htm | 05:27 |
| calc | according to intel, whether its in bios or not, my and slangasek's cpus don't do VT | 05:27 |
| Amaranth | ah, sucks | 05:27 |
| * calc wonders what Intel Trusted Execution Technology is | 05:28 | |
| Amaranth | i guess they had to do something with the chips that failed testing | 05:28 |
| calc | its not the execute disable bit, so wonder what tha tis | 05:28 |
| calc | all of the T7XXX series does it | 05:29 |

| keescook | hi dholbach! | 06:38 |
| keescook | lamont: say, I'm tracking down an issue, and I've traced it back to swapon in feisty. | 06:39 |
| === jescis_ is now known as jescis | ||
| keescook | lamont: between feisty and gutsy 30swsusp-resume.dpatch vanished without reference in the changelogs. | 06:39 |
| keescook | lamont: the patch seems to be the cause of the "zomg my swap UUID changed" bug, and lacking is the cause of the "ack, I have no swap anymore" bug. | 06:40 |
| keescook | lamont: seems the correct fix is to teach mkswap how to re-use and existing UUID, and then update 30swsusp-resume accordingly -- that should fix both bugs. | 06:40 |
| hunteke | so, I see http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/94/ (#1 idea, suspend), and have read some of the comments, such as this is extremely difficult for many factors. Is there any momentum on this front, in spite of the many factors? | 06:55 |

| slangasek | superm1: great, thanks | 07:36 |
| slangasek | pitti: morning | 07:36 |
| pwnguin | hunteke: it's something that will take more than ubuntu to fix. it's not just attention to a few details and patches away from "just working" | 07:38 |
| pwnguin | hunteke: I think mjg59's been doing a decent job cataloging the problems with the current "architecture" | 07:39 |
| superm1 | unfortunately too, issues lie in the videobios sometimes | 07:39 |
| hunteke | pwnguin: alright, I'll buy that. But is there a discussion somewhere about it? The only thing I see from Canonical/Ubuntu are borked scripts/hibernate,sleep buttons, and details through brainstorm. | 07:39 |
| hunteke | pwnguin: cool where do I find that? | 07:39 |
| hunteke | mjg59's stuff that is | 07:39 |
| pwnguin | linuxconf. lemme grab a link real quick | 07:40 |
| superm1 | which on the windows side of things, that's part of the reason why they will only qualify a particular driver release to that machine. they have a special code path to work around a bad vbios | 07:40 |
| hunteke | k, thx | 07:40 |
| pwnguin | http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2008/Fri/mel8-139.ogg | 07:40 |
| pwnguin | http://linux.conf.au/programme/presentations | 07:40 |
| hunteke | superm1: yeah, I sorta figured, part of the buying-through-a-vendor-service and MS tax, I expect | 07:41 |
| hunteke | pwnguin: oh excellent! it's a movie presentation. :-) | 07:41 |
| superm1 | well not even that. it's exclusively that vendors don't always stick to the "spec" | 07:41 |
| hunteke | much easier to digest | 07:41 |
| pwnguin | well, broken video bioses etc can probably be avoided by intelligent linux laptop vendors | 07:42 |
| pwnguin | but even in such limited and advantageous, I dont think the current suspend / hibernate regime is helping | 07:42 |
| hunteke | pwnguin, superm1: so perhaps a better question, how can I help tilt against this windmill? | 07:43 |
| pwnguin | hunteke: read LKML? | 07:43 |
| superm1 | the problem with them is that they typically freeze a month or two before the laptop is about to be released, so if linux is an afterthought by the vendor, they won't have much leeway in getting vbios fixed. | 07:43 |
| hunteke | pwnguin: no, just the digest I get through LJ | 07:43 |
| pwnguin | hunteke: which is that? | 07:44 |
| hunteke | Linux Journal | 07:44 |
| hunteke | sort of more oriented towards beginners | 07:44 |

| slangasek | soren: so if I see stepping: 6, does that mean the chips support it and my bios is ornery? | 09:27 |
| \sh | if somebody is so kind, and can explain how to setup a sane and clean chroot for building lpia apps on archs like i386 or amd64...reading this maemo-sdk-setup-doing-manually-stuff on nokia pages scares me...are the any possibilities to do it in a debian way? :) | 09:28 |
| soren | slangasek: If you're looking at the cpuinfo anyway, just look for "vmx" in the cpuflags. | 09:28 |
| slangasek | \sh: debootstrap --arch lpia? | 09:28 |
| soren | slangasek: (Notice how I avoided exposing my lack of ability to actually answer your question) | 09:28 |
| slangasek | soren: yeah, no vmx in the cpuflags; I was vaguely hoping that was because the BIOS had hidden it from me :/ | 09:28 |
| soren | slangasek: No. | 09:29 |
| soren | slangasek: The cpuflags will show it regardless. | 09:29 |
| soren | slangasek: When you try to load the modules, they'll tell you that the BIOS doesn't like you. | 09:29 |
| slangasek | heh, ok | 09:29 |

| seb128 | is the language selector menu item not working on the CD a known issue? | 09:58 |
| slangasek | ummm | 10:02 |
| slangasek | which one? | 10:02 |
| slangasek | the one that opens right at boot? | 10:02 |
| seb128 | slangasek: system, administration, language support | 10:02 |
| slangasek | Ubuntu? Kubuntu? | 10:02 |
| mvo | seb128: what happens if you click on it? | 10:02 |
| mvo | seb128: and what is printed on the terminal if you run: gnome-language-selector? | 10:03 |
| seb128 | mvo: the desktop has "/usr/bin/gnome-language-selector -n" as a command | 10:03 |
| seb128 | mvo: the "" are breaking it | 10:03 |
| slangasek | there was a bug reported against language-selector-qt only | 10:03 |
| slangasek | so I guess the gnome one wasn't tested | 10:03 |
| seb128 | clicking on it gives a "no such file or directory" | 10:04 |
| mvo | seb128: that is strange, my bzr looks fine | 10:04 |
| * mvo investigates | 10:05 | |
| seb128 | withou the "" around the command name it works correctly | 10:05 |
| seb128 | hum, I don't get it, the version installed on my desktop doesn't have the bug | 10:06 |
| seb128 | ah, 0.3.1 on the CD | 10:07 |
| mvo | I think its because the desktop file is modified for the language-selector .. | 10:07 |
| seb128 | how come? | 10:07 |
| mvo | in livecd build (or whatever the script is called :) | 10:07 |
| mvo | its run with -n there to supress the message about missing language-pack packages | 10:07 |
| seb128 | ah ok | 10:08 |
| seb128 | so whatever does this change is buggy | 10:08 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: ^? | 10:08 |
| mvo | it probably happend when we swichted it from root to use and removed the gksu | 10:08 |

| cjwatson | seb128: that code dates from October 2006 | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | seb128: have the semantics of Exec changed? | 10:13 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: not that I know, but could be a side effect of the gnome-desktop switch to gio | 10:13 |
| seb128 | I'm not sure it's correct to use "" there or if the fact it was working before was a bug | 10:14 |
| seb128 | let me look at the spec | 10:14 |
| cjwatson | http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html seems to suggest it was a bug that it worked before | 10:15 |

| cjwatson | seb128: thanks, fixed in bzr | 10:21 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: thank you | 10:21 |
| cjwatson | ogra: no we don't, mini.iso is common to everything | 10:21 |
| cjwatson | you just need to stop testing it ;-) | 10:22 |
| ogra | hmm | 10:22 |
| ogra | well, it shouldnt be in the task list | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: Edubuntu is only installable as an add-on CD now; discard all test cases that involve testing it directly | 10:22 |
| davmor2 | think it is to do with italc-client | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | oh, netboot | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | that actually should work | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | ogra: no reason why not, if installing over the network | 10:22 |
| ogra | oh, right | 10:22 |
| ogra | that should j8ust install edubuntu-desktop | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: post syslog | 10:23 |
| davmor2 | ogra: I'm letting stgraber know the error | 10:23 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: How do get the syslog? | 10:24 |
| ogra | italc-client only depends on libitalc libqt4-core libqt4-gui | 10:24 |
| ogra | so i wonder what can go wrong ther | 10:24 |
| ogra | e | 10:24 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: back up to the installer main menu and select "save debug logs" | 10:24 |
| * ogra tries to apt-get it | 10:24 | |
| stgraber | I tried edubuntu addon yesterday on i386 and it worked well, italc was installed and working after rebooting | 10:25 |
| stgraber | and I'm running the devel package for iTalc on my lappy (amd64) | 10:25 |
| ogra | works fine from apt-get as well | 10:25 |
| ogra | and runs with no problems ... | 10:27 |
| slangasek | yes, speculation is moderately pointless without the log file :) | 10:27 |
| ogra | yup | 10:27 |
| ogra | hum | 10:29 |
| ogra | actually i dont understand why it gets pulled in at all | 10:29 |
| ogra | its only a dep in the addon seed, not of edubuntu-desktop itselrf | 10:29 |
| * ogra wonders if tasksel exposes edubuntu-desktop-addon instead of edubuntu-desktop | 10:30 | |
| pitti | mvo: ugh, good catch; please upload | 10:30 |
| davmor2 | guys goto www.davmor2.co.uk | 10:31 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: ogra: stgraber: | 10:32 |
| mvo | thanks pitti, will do | 10:32 |
| slangasek | davmor2, stgraber: use of deprecated chown syntax in postinst | 10:33 |
| davmor2 | slangasek: no idea it just stopped installing :) | 10:33 |
| slangasek | stgraber: but I guess the more significant problem is that the package assumes group 'admin' exists when it doesn't? | 10:34 |
| stgraber | indeed | 10:34 |
| stgraber | when is the admin group created ? | 10:34 |
| ogra | i would be more intrested why its pulled in at all | 10:34 |
| slangasek | dunno; it's not part of base-passwd, I would suggest that you simply try to create the group yourself before using it | 10:35 |
| stgraber | slangasek: hmm, wouldn't that cause a fail for the package that actually creates it ? | 10:35 |
| slangasek | shouldn't | 10:35 |
| stgraber | "addgroup admin" when "admin" exists returns 1 | 10:36 |
| slangasek | all such packages *should* know how to handle a group that already exists; I'm looking for the responsible package to verify, though | 10:36 |
| davmor2 | guys anyone who needs the log if you can copy it that would be great then I can carry on testing | 10:36 |
| slangasek | stgraber: well, the only package I see creating the group in postinst on my system is jockey-common | 10:37 |
| stgraber | davmor2: for me that's ok, I know what to change | 10:37 |
| slangasek | I don't think you want to depend on that :) | 10:37 |
| stgraber | indeed :) | 10:37 |
| stgraber | so it's probably created by the installer when adding the user to the system | 10:37 |
| slangasek | but, jockey-common does have a good example of how to do this idempotently | 10:37 |
| slangasek | yes, probably | 10:38 |
| davmor2 | anyone else need the log? | 10:38 |
| davmor2 | stgraber: the same thing happen on 64bit too | 10:38 |
| slangasek | yes, it's not architecture-dependent | 10:39 |
| stgraber | slangasek: how can I quickly check if the group exists ? (!= parsing /etc/group) | 10:39 |
| slangasek | stgraber: see the jockey-common postinst -- "getent group admin" | 10:40 |
| stgraber | ok, will be fixed after beta (I need to upload a fix anyway) | 10:41 |
| ogra | ogra@ceron:~/devel/seeds/edubuntu.hardy$ apt-cache show edubuntu-desktop|grep italc | 10:42 |
| ogra | ogra@ceron:~/devel/seeds/edubuntu.hardy$ | 10:42 |
| * ogra scratches head | 10:42 | |
| stgraber | what's exactly the problem ? the edubuntu desktop task installs the content of edubuntu desktop addon task ? | 10:43 |
| slangasek | ogra: education-thin-client-server suggests it, though it's a bit odd if that causes it to be pulled in | 10:43 |
| ogra | i wonder if -meta is out of sync | 10:44 |
| * ogra tests an update run | 10:44 | |
| slangasek | the Packages file lists italc-client as part of edubuntu-desktop-addon task, yes | 10:44 |
| ogra | right | 10:44 |
| stgraber | that's right | 10:45 |
| ogra | but its not in -desktop | 10:45 |
| stgraber | so netinstall installs edubuntu-desktop-addon instead of edubuntu-desktop ??? | 10:45 |
| ogra | -addon creates -desktop | 10:45 |
| ogra | or: is the base for * | 10:46 |
| ogra | Added italc-client to desktop-addon-i386, desktop-addon-amd64, desktop-addon-powerpc, desktop-addon-ia64, desktop-addon-sparc, desktop-addon-hppa, desktop-addon-lpia | 10:49 |
| ogra | Removed thin-client-manager-gnome from desktop-kde-i386, desktop-kde-amd64, desktop-kde-powerpc, desktop-kde-ia64, desktop-kde-sparc, desktop-kde-hppa, desktop-kde-lpia | 10:49 |
| * ogra cries | 10:49 | |
| ogra | slangasek, fine with you to fix that after beta ? i dont want to delay anything | 10:51 |
| stgraber | does that only affect the netinstall ? | 10:51 |
| slangasek | ogra: yes, after beta should be fine | 10:52 |
| ogra | there is no other method i know of that would allow you to use edubuntu-desktop dirctly on install | 10:52 |
| mdz | my fonts in mutt are borked after last week's updates; it can't display line drawing characters or international characters | 10:52 |
| ogra | so likely only the netboot is affected | 10:52 |
| mdz | has anyone else seen something similar? | 10:52 |
| slangasek | not here, mutt displays fine for me | 10:52 |
| ogra | mdz, checked your locale ? | 10:53 |
| stgraber | if that's only netboot, it'll be fixed as soon as the fix is uploaded so will be fixed hours after Hardy's beta. | 10:53 |

| cjwatson | I'll reassign the bug to the proper place | 16:03 |
| Artimus | Assigning it as under sudo? Or another package? | 16:03 |
| cjwatson | see the bug | 16:04 |
| cjwatson | /etc/pam.d/sudo doesn't refer to pam_foreground; there is no reason why it should have the responsibility of delivering the dependency/recommendation | 16:04 |
| Artimus | cjwatson: Right. Looks good. | 16:06 |
| jdong | speaking of bzr, do we plan on importing bzr 1.3 into Hardy? It seems imminent for release and the guys produce quality releases. | 16:06 |
| ScottK2 | We were uploading new tool chain bits up to the beta freeze, so I don't see why that would be a problem. | 16:07 |
| jdong | :) cool | 16:07 |
| jdong | btw, how's the beta going? | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | largely OK except for screwed DVDs | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | we'll probably have to just not ship those | 16:08 |
| jdong | meh that's probably not a big problem for the beta phase | 16:08 |
| mario_limonciell | cjwatson, what happened with the dvds? oversized or failling alltogether? | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | mario_limonciell: bizarre gfxboot explosion | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | I clearly did something very bad in a previous life, because I'm sitting tracing through its memory allocator at the moment | 16:10 |
| mario_limonciell | ooh yuck. don't they use the same gfxboot code though? | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | they do, but it depends on exact layout of stuff in memory, which depends on other things in the /isolinux directory on the image | 16:10 |
| mario_limonciell | whew, didn't realize things were that hardcoded.. | 16:11 |
| mario_limonciell | but then again I do remember you poking around at some of the code at UDS | 16:11 |
| mario_limonciell | and it sure didn't look pretty | 16:11 |
| jdong | I like the old SYSLINUX put-up-a-splash-image days... | 16:11 |
| cjwatson | mario_limonciell: not hardcoding as such - I think it's a bug in its memory allocator which crashes on certain sizes of allocations, or something like that | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | the debug output shows a chunk with negative size | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | which I think is making it oops | 16:12 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: hi | 16:28 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: thanks for the cups patches | 16:28 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: BTW, I recently committed all our remaining patches to Debian, except the ones we just need for daper->hardy upgrade (which don't fit to Debian) | 16:29 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: so, in the future we should try to avoid adding a patch to the ubuntu branch only | 16:29 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: (you did that correctly, I just want to point it out explicitly) | 16:29 |
| pitti | so after hardy we can just sync cupsys | 16:29 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, on today's patch I need to do a small correction, so wait a little with the upload. I will inform you. | 16:32 |
| seb128 | pitti, tkamppeter: do we need to default printer menu item in the preferences menu? isn't that something that system-config-printer can also do? | 16:34 |
| pitti | seb128: hm, s-c-p usually needs 'lpadmin' privileges; I'm not 100% sure, though, I currently don't have a local printer | 16:36 |
| seb128 | ok | 16:38 |
| * pitti tries, I forged a printer now | 16:38 | |
| seb128 | because I was testing on the CD and having a list with only pdf is not really useful ;-) | 16:38 |
| tkamppeter | seb128, the default printer menu item in the preferences menu is for every user being able to set his personal default printer. s-c-p can set a system default printer (for all users without personal default printer), but it needs lpadmin privileges. | 16:40 |
| sistpoty|work | pitti: please give back haskell-regex-posix on sparc | 16:40 |
| pitti | seb128: I tried it, doesn't work; it asks you for the password | 16:40 |
| pitti | seb128: since it wants to set the global default, not the per-user one | 16:40 |
| seb128 | ok | 16:40 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have committed the corrected patch to the cupsys SVN (both Debian and Ubuntu) now, now I am doing a build test | 16:49 |
| keescook | doko: I've gotten the PIE patches working for attach and core, but not "run". should I upload that, since it's at least progress? | 16:50 |
| keescook | doko: (context is "gdb") | 16:50 |
| keescook | doko: also, I enabled the testsuite. was it intentionally disabled? it looked like a typo. | 16:51 |
| doko | not intentionally. I'd upload for hardy | 16:52 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have tested the new cupsys patch now. Can you upload the current SVN snapshot into Ubuntu? Thanks. | 17:00 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: we are still in freeze | 17:01 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, can you then upload cupsys after the beta release? The patch is not so urgent. | 17:03 |
| sistpoty|work | doko: could it be that the gutsy-update of libc6 (2.6.1-1ubuntu10) has somehow broken lbreakout2? (bug #196334)? | 17:10 |

| wasabi | plain ol' data dvd. | 18:00 |
| Adri2000 | cjwatson: thanks | 18:00 |
| wasabi | Looks like it's attempting to access beyond the end of waht it thinkgs is the device. | 18:00 |
| wasabi | Wonder if this is a bug in the iso9660 fs driver or something wacky about this DVD | 18:00 |
| wasabi | or just a screwed up device driver. | 18:00 |
| wasabi | Yeah... weird. blockdev shows it as only being 1.1 GB. Disk is much longer than that. | 18:02 |
| wasabi | the mounted FS says it's 3.8G | 18:02 |
| slangasek | superm1: so has mythbuntu alt amd64 gotten any testing? | 18:04 |

| wasabi | It's not mine. Came from MS though. It's a MSDN DVD. | 18:06 |
| wasabi | I'm thinking it might be the two SATA DVD drives reading the disk length wrong. | 18:06 |
| wasabi | "or something" | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: no - ~launchpad-buildd-admins | 18:07 |
| wasabi | It's been pressed. No idea where the original FS was built. Also I don't know how disk length stuff works with a DVD> | 18:07 |
| wasabi | I'd assume it is some disk metadata at the beginning which only the drive cares about | 18:07 |
| slytherin | wasabi: or may be there is problem with UDF driver in Ubuntu | 18:08 |
| wasabi | The UDF driver would not lie about block device size. Only about it once it's been mounted. No? | 18:08 |
| wasabi | Seems to be iso9660 anyways. | 18:09 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: thanks. But it is hard to find who is awake at this time | 18:09 |

| slangasek | Daviey: will it, in time for us to be able to confidently include mythbuntu in the beta today? | 18:18 |
| slangasek | Daviey: doing your own beta later is always still an option if you need more time... | 18:18 |
| Daviey | hmm | 18:18 |
| _MMA_ | Daviey: Well, I as well as TheMuso did 64bit installs of Ubuntu Studio Alt. Pretty much the same thing as the Ubuntu disk. Mostly. | 18:18 |

| cjwatson | holding down shift at boot might help | 18:57 |
| mario_limonciell | cjwatson, that's the only known issue on the dvd right? We don't use gfxboot for our factory install, so it wouldn't affect us then. | 18:57 |

| stgraber | known | 19:06 |
| nxvl | but on ubuntu why to we use ubuntuX.Y? | 19:06 |

| mjg59 | slangasek: I can't milestone any more | 23:11 |
| slangasek | mjg59: ok, done | 23:12 |
| mjg59 | slangasek: Argh. You'll need to delete events/lenovo-eject as well. | 23:12 |
| mjg59 | It's a dock eject button, not a CD eject button | 23:13 |
| slangasek | mjg59: is there something that makes it work for that? | 23:13 |
| mjg59 | The firmware ought to basically handle it | 23:13 |
| mjg59 | But I don't have a dock to test | 23:13 |
| slangasek | hmm | 23:13 |
| mjg59 | Using it as a CD eject button is definitely wrong, though | 23:13 |
| slangasek | then isn't it also a problem that I'm able to see an acpi event for it at all? | 23:14 |
| keescook | mjg59: say, my crazy disasming friend of mine is coming over shortly, got a tarball of the usplash+libdisasm goo handy? I don't want to reinvent the wheel... :) | 23:14 |
| mjg59 | keescook: I've been trying to think through the possible ways of doing it | 23:15 |
| mjg59 | keescook: I'm beginning to think it's not practical without an nx machine | 23:15 |
| mjg59 | Oh, no, wait | 23:15 |
| blueyed | mjg59: toshiba hotkeys problem because of bug 180678 ? | 23:15 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 180678 in acpi-support "dmesg: toshiba_acpi: Unknown parameter `hotkeys_over_acpi'" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/180678 | 23:15 |
| keescook | nx in this context is? | 23:15 |
| mjg59 | blueyed: Yes | 23:15 |
| mjg59 | blueyed: Don't delete that file. It's there for a reason. | 23:16 |
| mjg59 | blueyed: And #194609 even has someone commenting that the proposed patch is wrong! | 23:16 |
| blueyed | mjg59: but it said "toshiba_acpi: Unknown parameter `hotkeys_over_acpi'"?! | 23:16 |
| mjg59 | blueyed: Yes, but that was a *kernel* bug | 23:16 |
| mjg59 | Not an acpi-support bug | 23:16 |
| mjg59 | The kernel's been fixed | 23:16 |
| mjg59 | slangasek: #194609 could do with milestoning as well | 23:18 |
| blueyed | mjg59: oh, I see. I'll fix it | 23:19 |
| slangasek | how's about I just talk someone into sticking a milestoner bit back on you... :) | 23:19 |
| mjg59 | slangasek: I think that's it for now :) | 23:20 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Ok, so here's roughly how I think it should work: | 23:24 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Map the BIOS | 23:24 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Register a SIGILL handler | 23:24 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Disassemble the instruction at the IP. Place an illegal instruction immediately after it | 23:24 |
| pwnguin | is fixing that why my power button works again? | 23:25 |
| mjg59 | keescook: If the instruction is a jump or a loop, also place an illegal instruction at the destination | 23:25 |
| pwnguin | (toshiba laptop) | 23:25 |
| mjg59 | keescook: If it's a call, place an illegal instruction at the destination | 23:25 |
| mjg59 | pwnguin: Unlikely | 23:25 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Enter vm86 mode | 23:25 |
| slangasek | mjg59: but the thinkpad one really should go away, right? | 23:26 |
| mjg59 | slangasek: Yeah, I think that's ok | 23:26 |
| slangasek | (I mean, as soon as I killed it locally, my hotkeys started working again, so) | 23:26 |
| mjg59 | keescook: In the sigill handler, invalidate the mapping and repeat | 23:27 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Oh! And print the instruction and registers, obviously :) | 23:27 |
| keescook | mjg59: heh. yeah, that part. :) | 23:27 |
| keescook | that mapping/unmapping is not currently happening? | 23:27 |
| mjg59 | keescook: None of this is currently happening | 23:28 |
| mjg59 | I was trying to find some way of avoiding some of this awkwardness, but I think this is the cleanest way | 23:28 |
| keescook | mjg59: right, -- i'm just trying to understand how vm86 works -- I haven't spent too much looking at it. | 23:28 |
| cjwatson | keescook: I found the gfxboot bug! | 23:28 |
| keescook | cjwatson: ooooh! what was it?? | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | (sorry, not to distract you) | 23:29 |
| mjg59 | keescook: vm86 is given a structure with original register state, and then executes stuff | 23:29 |
| slangasek | yes, let's not distract kees from his bios sigill handling with discussions of forth code... :-) | 23:29 |
| * keescook cries | 23:29 | |
| mjg59 | keescook: So, in theory, when you hit the sigill handler, the registers are now what they would have been after you executed that instruction | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | keescook: files read by gfxboot aren't zero-terminated (it gives you back a pointer to the middle of a cpio archive in memory), but we were using strstr on them and strstr expects zero-termination | 23:29 |
| pwnguin | heh | 23:30 |
| mjg59 | asac: Is there still no way to add https exceptions in epiphany? | 23:30 |
| cjwatson | and then we plonked a zero byte after the end of the string which happened to sit on top of the metadata for the next malloc chunk | 23:30 |
| keescook | mjg59: right, so, the BIOS mapping part -- do you mean duplicate the bios memory elsewhere so we can modify to with the illegal intrs? | 23:30 |
| mjg59 | keescook: mmap it from /dev/mem with PROT_FIXED | 23:30 |
| keescook | cjwatson: oooh snap. nice catch. how much longer did you spend on that madness? | 23:30 |
| mjg59 | keescook: That's done already | 23:30 |
| mjg59 | keescook: The issue is that you need to modify that mapping to include the illegal instructions | 23:31 |
| mjg59 | keescook: So you need to munmap() it and then mmap() it again afterwards to get the original contents back | 23:31 |
| keescook | mjg59: err.. and it'll let me _change_ the memory? right, this is where I'm a bit confused | 23:31 |
| mjg59 | keescook: It's the difference between physical and virtual address space | 23:31 |
| cjwatson | keescook: about two or three hours; I discovered a gfxboot primitive that dumps out all the malloc metadata, and discovered that it printed "oops: <blah>" when stuff went wrong, so given that I was able to binary-chop and figure out what was corrupting memory | 23:31 |
| keescook | ah, it'll let me mod it, but it's only for my mapping | 23:31 |
| mjg59 | keescook: You're mmapping 0xc0000 of physical address space into 0xc0000 of your virtual address space | 23:31 |
| keescook | cjwatson: nice -- did you submit that upstream? | 23:32 |
| mjg59 | And yeah, you can make it COW | 23:32 |
| cjwatson | keescook: not relevant | 23:32 |
| keescook | cjwatson: ah, dang | 23:32 |
| cjwatson | keescook: the code that was broken was entirely written by me | 23:32 |
| keescook | cjwatson: erf. heh. | 23:32 |
| sistpoty | mjg59: (not to interrupt you), do you have any opinion if we want eeepc-acpi-scripts as FFe (bug 195724) | 23:34 |
| keescook | mjg59: this'll be ... not fast. ;) | 23:34 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 195724 in ubuntu "[FFe] Please sync eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.0 from debian unstable" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195724 | 23:34 |
| mjg59 | sistpoty: Erm. No clue. | 23:34 |
| sistpoty | mjg59: ok, thanks | 23:34 |
| mjg59 | I'd need to take a look at the package first | 23:35 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Yeah, but nor is x86emu, so... | 23:35 |
| mjg59 | keescook: The trick is then to try to get the debug output to look like the x86emu debug output | 23:35 |
| keescook | mjg59: you had said something the other day about bios memory and how it wasn't going to work? | 23:35 |
| sistpoty | mjg59: if you could do so, and comment on the bug, that would be great :) | 23:35 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Yeah, that was based on my original idea | 23:35 |
| mjg59 | But I think the current one avoids that | 23:35 |
| keescook | mjg59: ah, okay. yeah, this is just single-stepping. should work fine. ;) | 23:36 |
| keescook | why does it need to look like x86emu debug output? | 23:36 |
| mjg59 | keescook: So we can diff them | 23:36 |
| mjg59 | And figure out where it's going wrong | 23:36 |
| keescook | ah! heh. | 23:36 |
| keescook | so, remind me, we're just trying to do a simple POST, right? | 23:36 |
| keescook | or is it deeper? I'm realizing I need to actually get a "reproducer" of the calls that are failing now that I've got my hands on hardware | 23:37 |
| keescook | better yet -- what do I need to tweak to get the x86emu debug output? | 23:38 |
| mjg59 | keescook: We want to know why usplash dies on nvidia with x86emu, but not with vm86 | 23:40 |
| mjg59 | Hang on... | 23:40 |
| mjg59 | keescook: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/x86_debug/ | 23:41 |
| keescook | mjg59: eexcellent. so that for libx86 -- how do I run usplash with x86emu? | 23:42 |
| mjg59 | I believe it's nobbled so it always runs with x86emu | 23:43 |
| mjg59 | keescook: Oh, and remember that this all has to be on a 32-bit kernel | 23:43 |
| mjg59 | sistpoty: No, that package shouldn't exist | 23:44 |
| sistpoty | mjg59: ok, thanks, then I'll reject it | 23:45 |
| mjg59 | sistpoty: acpi-support should already do all of it | 23:45 |
| sistpoty | mjg59: thanks again for the info :) | 23:45 |
| keescook | mjg59: okay, I think I know where my confusion lies. vm86 is a syscall. x86emu is a library, libx86 is a library. usplash is linked against libx86. where is x86emu, and who is currently using vm86 calls? :P | 23:49 |
| mjg59 | libx86 ( by default) uses x86emu on x86_64 and vm86 on x86 | 23:51 |
| mjg59 | The magic code needs to be added to lrmi.c in libx86 | 23:51 |
| mjg59 | lrmi is the layer that does the vm86 handling | 23:51 |
| keescook | ah, gotcha. (currently reading http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/libx86/) | 23:53 |
| keescook | okay, so, then why do I want to run a 32bit kernel? just to get the "it works" debug log? | 23:54 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 23:54 |
| keescook | okay. same page achieved. :) | 23:55 |
| mjg59 | vm86 doesn't work on 64-bit kernels | 23:55 |
| keescook | right -- that part i got. you didn't mean "all work will be done on 32bit kernels" | 23:55 |
| mjg59 | Oh, right | 23:55 |
| mjg59 | Once we've got a vm86 log, the bugs can be fixed on 64-bit | 23:55 |
| keescook | you meant, get a working dump on 32bit, then attack 64 | 23:55 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 23:55 |
| keescook | groovy | 23:55 |
| mjg59 | But x86emu runs on 32-bit as well | 23:55 |
| mjg59 | And fails in the same way | 23:55 |
| keescook | and to force x86emu when running 32bit, I'll want the libx86 package from your tmp dir you just sent me? | 23:56 |
| mjg59 | Yup | 23:57 |
| mjg59 | Which also does the debug output | 23:57 |
| * keescook claps stupidly | 23:57 | |
| emgent | heya people | 23:58 |
| keescook | hi emgent | 23:58 |
| emgent | keescook: about pentest team, next Security meeting (26th) we can start the project. | 23:59 |
