jdongNg: talk to Mithrandir, I can't upload it anyway :)02:52
joshudsonHere's something interesting: the old procedure documentented in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesManual almost works for upgrading fiesty to hardy03:11
joshudsonI have exact directions if someone can tell me where to post them03:11
_MMA_joshudson: Why not edit that page?03:12
jdongjoshudson: you shouldn't really use the manual upgrade unless the system is already too broken to run the standard upgrader03:13
ScottKPlease don't03:13
ScottKPlease don't put instructions on h.u.c on how to do things that are explicitly not supported.03:13
jdonghttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades03:13
joshudsonIt draws less bandwidth then trying to upgrade version by version03:13
jdongTHESE are the ONLY UPGRADE PROCEDURES that should be attempted03:14
jdongall others are completely unsupported03:14
ScottK!worksforme | joshudson03:14
ubotujoshudson: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/03:14
jdongyou are on your own if something goes wrong before, during, or after the upgrade.03:14
ScottKSo please don't encourage others to go off the supported path.03:14
joshudsonall right, I won't03:14
jdongthere's a *reason* we don't support hopping upgrades. and it's not because we get ad revenue from additional bandwidth to the apt repos03:15
jdongthough I think that would be a great idea if we do adwords in apt-get and the revenue goes to jdong@ubuntu.com paypal.03:15
joshudsonlol03:15
ScottKjoshudson: I don't generally update the approved way and it almost always works for me, but I'd never encourage someone else to take the risks I take.03:15
jdongjoshudson: then again, ScottK is a core developer and you are pobably an experienced Ubuntu user yourself who isn't afraid to get your hands dirty fixing minor upgrade breakages03:16
joshudsonI'm not an experienced ubuntu developer03:16
jdongjoshudson: but others might not be, and from my experience 90% of "upgrades are broken" whining are directly caused by users not following correct upgrade procedures03:16
_MMA_jdong: "we don't support hopping upgrades" I haven't had 1 Dapper->Hardy test box work. :P03:16
joshudsonThis was my first upgrade (didn't have a GUI to try the normal procedure)03:17
orbisviciswhy does ubuntu have a upgrade cycle ... why not just release newer packages as they come?03:17
jdong joshudson if you read HardyUpgrades, there are command line supported upgrade paths too03:17
ScottKjoshudson: There's a command line option too.03:17
joshudsonwhich isn't indexed by google yet btw03:17
jdongorbisvicis: because new packages often introduce changes that make them non-backwards-compatible03:17
lifelessorbisvicis: many users want stability03:17
ScottKorbisvicis: If you want that, just run Debian Unstable.03:17
lifelessorbisvicis: others want long term stability03:17
lifelessorbisvicis: and some want latest features03:18
jdongorbisvicis: a rolling release distro means every time you hit the upgrade button you have NO GUARANTEE that your existing config files or apps will continue to work without tweaking config files, rebuilding custom apps, etc03:18
lifelessorbisvicis: so we have releases, long term support releases, and development03:18
jdongorbisvicis: think about whether or not an administrator of 70 laptops used by 300 students daily, like me, would want that....03:18
joshudsonI'm a rather experienced slackware user. If something broke I could probably fix it, unless it was udev.03:19
orbisvicisjdong, i hadnt considered your last two statements, but i find stability an invalid argument, as users are often locked into packages with major bugs fixed in newer packages03:19
jdongjoshudson: slackware teaches you to explore around and fix things03:20
jdongorbisvicis: then those bugs should be fixed. Frozen releases do not preclude bugfixes, we just ask bugfixes to be done as bugfixes only03:20
jdongorbisvicis: in open source projects, one can choose just to apply changes to the code directly pertinent to the bugs03:20
jdongorbisvicis: and as a member of the team that approves such bugfix updates, I encourage everyone to do this03:21
joshudsonIt was also the only non-rpm distro that didn't assume the user had broadband (everything is on 2 cds. I wish the default ubuntu installs did as good a job of picking packages)03:21
joshudsonat least back when I started03:21
lifelessorbisvicis: stability means 'no new bugs', not 'no bugs'03:21
jdongorbisvicis: also, Ubuntu Backports can be used to provide new versions of stuff as long as it doesn't horribly break everything. and I am also a part of the team that approves those updates :)03:21
joshudsonDid any of you every try apt-get install gcc after a fresh ubuntu install and wonder why gcc didn't work?03:22
ScottKjoshudson: Keep in mind Ubuntu is squeezing into one CD, not two.03:22
orbisvicishmm well i like browsing hardy source (even debian) and pulling packages from them, but why not provide a tool that does this automatically as the dependencies get tedious03:22
joshudsongood point. Only the second cd on slackware has only kde and tex03:23
RAOFjoshudson: You mean apt-get? :P03:23
ScottKorbisvicis: Because pakcages have to be rebuilt as the toolchain changes.03:23
joshudsonyeah03:24
joshudsonIt turned out that gcc had some unstated dependency03:24
ion_cjwatson: I updated the compcache packaging to use debconf to set the cache size.03:24
joshudsonapt-get build-dep dash works03:24
StevenKIt's assumed build-essential (or at least everything it depends on) is installed if you want to build things.03:25
joshudsonalso dpkg needs dependencies of gzip, bzip and tar (found that out when trying to get dpkg working on my slackware box)03:25
orbisvicisScottK, toolchain? bison, gcc, make, etc ?03:25
orbisvicisor libraries03:25
joshudsonah that's why03:25
joshudsonbuild-essential wasn't installed by default and I didn't know of its existance03:25
StevenKBecause not everyone wants a build environment. :-)03:25
jdongorbisvicis: see prevu03:25
jdongorbisvicis: it's a one/two command tool for rebuilding source packages from the development release to run on the current release03:26
joshudsonI've been around too long. I can't even imagine not wanting a build environment03:26
StevenKI can. It's called the server behind me. :-)03:27
joshudsong03:27
joshudsonAnd I'd be screaming bloody murder if I discovered one of my servers didn't have it the first time I tried to compile my maintaince utils03:28
orbisvicisjdong, thanks03:28
joshudson(an ordinary sysadmin probably would use shell scripts but they barf on unsanatary file names)03:28
orbisvicisbut i dont understand what ScottK meant though03:29
jdongyeah I'd rather *not* provide a build environment on a shell server :)03:29
jdongthat's one of those "please root me now" invitations03:29
jdongmight as well just add em to sudoers and save everyone time.03:29
joshudsonif you are stock ubuntu, uudecode is enough to "root-me-now"03:29
StevenKThat's news to me.03:30
jdongas to me.03:30
joshudsonbesides, some of my tools are still in assembly03:30
jdonggood luck making it match the regex "/usr/rbin/* rixm" :)03:31
jdongah, I love restricted shells03:31
ScottKorbisvicis: Packages are compiles using shared libraries from the packages they build on.  If those shared libraries change, the packages need to be recompiled with the new version to be able to communicate properly.03:31
joshudsonrestricted shell, ewwww03:31
jdongwhat's wrong with a restricted shell? everything here on my machines runs in restricted contexts :)03:33
jdongeven this irssi I'm typing from03:33
jdong23:33 -!- Irssi: process 0 (uname -a) terminated with return code 12603:33
joshudsonit doesn't let the user take any advantage of writing so much as the simplest of automation scripts03:34
jdongwhy not? they've got access to perl, python, and their shell for scripting03:34
StevenKrbash by default will kick itself out of restricted mode in the shell it spawns to run shell scripts.03:35
joshudsonare we talking about two different things? I'm talking about rbash and its ilk03:35
jdongjoshudson: I use apparmor or SELinux to write restricted shell contexts03:35
joshudsonoh, much better03:35
orbisvicisScottK, i find that minor versions leave me a bit of leeway, and that ubuntu dependencies can take care of the rest (b/c i remove all current packages bottom up)03:35
jdongjoshudson: the actual shell is usually a bash or zsh type03:35
joshudsonI'm just accustomed to being able to edit myh .profile03:35
ScottKorbisvicis: It often works.  Sometimes it doesn't.03:36
jdongorbisvicis: it's not guaranteed to work and I've screwed myself over several times with that assumption in the past03:36
joshudsonI have no problems with most kinds of security settings on servers03:37
joshudsonbut the fundamental problem that rbash cannot allow the user to have his own .profile is enough to make me detest it03:38
* orbisvicis testing the limits03:38
joshudson(you see if it does, .profile can contain PATH=.$PATH)03:39
ScottKorbisvicis: You are quite welcome to do that.  I use most of my Ubuntu machines for $WORK, so I have a different risk tolerance.03:39
orbisviciswhich brings back to full circle > stability03:39
jdongjoshudson: I typically don't like to play babysitter with shell accounts as it's always a game favoring the attacker...03:39
orbisvicisanyway, anyone notice that linux-image rt doesnt provide CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT03:40
joshudsonjdong: exactly03:40
jdongjoshudson: this particular usecase is primarily a SFTP filesharing account on one of my lower-security VMs and giving shell access facilitates the kind of organization work needed to be done03:40
jdongjoshudson: I've found Apparmor has made it a lot easier for me to quickly define restricted profiles that seem fairly strong to me03:40
jdongit'd probably take a kernel-level exploit like the vmsplice one, custom crafted, to break out.03:41
joshudsonMy favorite is the /home in chrootjail trick (I spawn a sshd in the chroot jail with passwd, ping, and tracert as the only setuid binaries in the jail)03:42
orbisviciszcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT03:42
orbisvicisgzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory03:42
jdongorbisvicis: we don't build with config.gz in /proc, use the config files in /boot instead03:43
orbisvicisgotcha03:43
orbisvicishm i shouldve known that from last time copying the config to rebuild a module03:45
slangasekLaserJock: I don't believe we should need the FFe process for edubuntu documentation, no03:47
slangasekmario_limonciell: there's been a change to the contents of DVD images, yes - you needed gawk?03:47
slangasekmario_limonciell: we can probably get gawk added back, I think - the change is that the DVD no longer ships .debs for all of the supported seed, to make room for a much-expanded livefs with full translations03:48
slangaseklaga: having a look at the debiancd stuff03:50
Frederickfolks have anyone here ever used hibernate relational persistence for java in ubuntu? isnt there a package for it?04:06
twbI notice that my Ubuntu mirror (and archive.ubuntu.com, I believe) isn't using the rred method to send pdiffs instead of having to resend the whole Packages.gz file with each apt-get update.  Is rred support on a roadmap or something?04:26
LaserJocktwb: I'm sure there is a spec on that somewhere04:29
pleaseandthankyocan i install ubuntu edubun xunbu kubuntu at the same time?05:05
LaserJockusually I think so05:09
pleaseandthankyook installed xubuntu and and goubuntu  on top of edubuntu where are they now? and how do i load them?05:59
LaserJockwell, for xubuntu you just select Xfce as the Session in the login screen06:01

FujitsuUp until about 3 weeks ago, I had the occasional Compiz hang, but it's all good now.09:00
bryyceslangasek: it's still waiting on someone to do git bisecting.  Which of course is a PITA since the bug occurs so sporadically09:00
slangasekbah :/09:00
bryyce"X crashes randomly" bugs are the bane of my existence09:00
sorenOh, mine didn't just hang. It crashed. And X wouldn't start again.09:00
Fujitsusoren: Ah, I had those in the first couple of months of Hardy.09:01
slangaseksoren: yes, that's what I have: "FatalError re-entered, aborting" -> "Existing errors found in hardware state"09:01
pitticjwatson, evand: hm, after rebooting the desktop CD again, the new partitions appear in /dev and all is well; hmm09:01
bryyceslangasek: if it happens and you can ssh in and attach gdb and get a full backtrace, that may help.  However sounds like upstream is insisting on doing bisecting to find the issue.09:03
slangasekbryyce: but once it happens, the X server is dead, I would have to attach with gdb beforehand...?09:04
slangasekI've never done a git bisect before, can you give me a pointer to the right repo and a cheat sheet for running the bisect?09:05
bryyceif its crashing to the command line, yeah.  In other cases where it freezes or hangs, you can often ssh in to get a backtrace.09:06
slangasekyeah, this is the X server aborting altogether09:06
slangasekand only kinda-sorta crashing to the commandline, since it leaves the video in an unusable state which requires a reboot09:06

slangasekI don't09:12
tjaaltonbummer09:12
slangasekto the extent that it correlates with any change on my system, though, it seems to correlate with me wiping out my old xorg.conf and regenerating a clean one09:13
slangasekOTOH, maybe I did that after it crashed the first time :-P09:13
bryycewell, some of the stuff we've fiddled with recently includes setting "greedy" migration mode for EXA, turning EXA on by default, and adding a few minor patches09:18
tjaaltonwe've had 2.2.1 for a month now09:18
tjaaltonand EXA has been the default since November :)09:18
bryycewell, I mean in the sense that if he had an old xorg.conf that was setting XAA, then our EXA by default might have kicked in when he wiped out his old xorg.conf09:20
tjaaltonyeah, sure09:20

mjg59ogra_cmpcng: Which kernel version?12:43
ogra_cmpcngyesterdays ... let me look for the exact version12:44
ogra_cmpcng2.6.24-12-generic12:44
mjg59ogra_cmpcng: Ok. How are you suspending?12:45
ogra_cmpcngi dont use any intel xserver (using vesa to get the panning mode) though12:45
mjg59Ugh.12:45
ogra_cmpcngmjg59, gpm12:45
mjg59Please try with the intel x server12:45
ogra_cmpcngi cant12:45
mjg59Please try with the intel x server12:45
ogra_cmpcngi mean iu can for a test12:45
ogra_cmpcngbut not constantly (no panning in intel, i810 which does panning eats half of my ram ...)12:46
pittimjg59: ah, indeed; that should become a /etc/pm/sleep.d/ script, I suppose?12:48
mjg59pitti: /usr/share, ideally12:49
pittiah, right12:49
ogra_cmpcngmjg59, ok, intel works, anything i can hack up to get vesa do the same ?12:52
mjg59ogra_cmpcng: Not really, no12:58
ogra_cmpcnghmm12:59
ogra_cmpcnghow does gpm do the brightness switching without having a sysfs socket or anything in proc ... i only need a single trigger it seems ... that could well go into a pm utils hook13:00
* ogra_cmpcng goes to look at gpm code13:00
mjg59ogra_cmpcng: Is there anything in /sys/class/backlight?13:00
ogra_cmpcngnope13:00
mjg59Then gpm shouldn't be able to do any brightness control13:01
ogra_cmpcngthats my prob else i'd just echo something to it :)13:01
ogra_cmpcnghmm13:01
ogra_cmpcngchanging power changes backlight ... i wonder if thats bios based then13:01
mjg59Yes13:02
ogra_cmpcngvbetool vbestate save/restore seems to get me something but that seems way to hackish13:03
mjg59That should be happening by default in any case13:03
mjg59Oh, wait, it won't on i91513:03
evanddavmor2: where does it fail?13:03
mjg59Hm. It sounds like the DRM code isn't restoring the backlight register.13:03

dokomario_limonciell, slangasek: thing is that bash-completion is unmaintained for about two years by upstream; however last week I was sent the upstream repository, and now somebody is trying to set up a project ib alioth to coordinate new upstream work. I'lll look to get it included on the CD without depending on it (just seeding it).17:19

tsmithedoko, uhuh, but would that fix the ICE?17:20
ogra_cmpcdoko, thats like saying hppa should be re-soldered :P17:22
dokotsmithe: I think so; just compile the code to byte code, and then, if needed, from byte-code to native code. the direct compilation from source to native is known to have problems17:23
dokoogra_cmpc: not really, after you look at pdftk's build system17:24

LaserJockother than the use of cm, that's impressive! ;-)18:43
mjg59saivann: I have no sensible solution to this off-hand, other than doing DDC probing in usplas18:44
mjg59h18:44
mjg59But no, the postinst can't depend on a running X. For a start, it's running as root and not the X user18:44
saivannmjg59 : Is that a possible solution for Hardy? Or time is missing18:45
saivannmjg59 : I was not really convinced by this idea too18:45
mjg59saivann: The alternative is for ubiquity to write the values18:45
saivannmjg59 : I'm not a developer but I have a basic knowledge with packaging, may I help on this task?18:46
_MMA_mjg59: Which wouldn't help in Alt disk installations. :(18:47
saivannmjg59 : ubiquity, would means that good usplash resolution would only be set in the LiveCD18:47
mjg59Yes, it would mean that18:47

For background information, please see: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2008-March/005242.html18:47
mjg59saivann: No, if DDC stuff is being done then it should be integrated into usplash directly18:48
mjg59So it can check resolution at runtime18:48
slangasekstgraber: but er, don't you live in the mountains? :)18:48
saivannmjg59 : Since you know usplash very well, do you think that you can take this task? It would also fix bug 15804818:49

_MMA_I'd personally pay someone to fix Usplash on widescreen resolutions.18:50
mjg59_MMA_: Impossible18:50

mjg59VESA doesn't include widescreen modes18:50

mjg59saivann: Not safely, since X is running18:54
saivannmjg59 : Ah ok18:54
slangasekstgraber: yes, my elevation here is 60m. :)18:54
mjg59saivann: Actually, no, ddcprobe is a bad idea. Most laptops don't do DDC.19:06
saivannmjg59 : ok19:06
saivannmjg59 : Anyway, thanks for your work on this :)19:07
mjg59saivann: Without the knowledge X has, I don't think there's anything we can do to fix this19:07
mjg59saivann: So the closest to a solution right now will still be writing the file from ubiquity19:07
saivannmjg59 : There is no way to fix usplash to discover automatically the good resolution to use?19:08
saivannmjg59 : Not the package but usplash itself19:08
mjg59saivann: No. We can't use DDC.19:09
saivannmjg59 : owh.. that sounds bad..19:09
mjg59In the future, when we have kernel modesetting, yes19:09

jdstrandKopfgeldjaeger: can you give an example?19:41
jdstrand(of any)19:41
Kopfgeldjaegerat the moment, ufw allow 23/tcp is the same as ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 23 (or so)19:43
Kopfgeldjaegeryou should be able to do the same with "ufw allow port 23/tcp", or "ufw allow port 23/tcp from 192.168.0.1"19:43

emgents/kirkland/kiko/19:44
Kopfgeldjaegerso that the values for "from","to" etc. are set to any by default and you can use ufw in more ways19:44
jdstrandKopfgeldjaeger: well, the 'ufw allow port 23', isn't more ways-- just more typing19:45
kirklandemgent: pong19:45
