| kirkland | slangasek: which is why i glimmered to life when I saw you and lamont discussing the possibility that dund might be coming back! :-P | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| slangasek | aoh, here's some info though: http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//maemo-users/2007-December/007933.html | 00:00 |
| slangasek | not *encouraging* info, it basically says "use dbus-send", but... | 00:01 |
| kirkland | slangasek: nice, "successively calling dbus-send...and parsing its output" | 00:05 |
| kirkland | slangasek: hrm, perhaps someone should write a "daemon" to do that? oh wait! :-) | 00:07 |
| slangasek | kirkland: well, the python dbus bindings are certainly a saner choice than dbus-send... :) | 00:09 |
| kirkland | slangasek: about like writing a webserver in awk, though isn't it? :-P | 00:11 |
| slangasek | hrm? | 00:12 |
| slangasek | surely you're not comparing python to awk? :) | 00:12 |
| kirkland | slangasek: never. i was comparing the dbus-send hack to writing a webserver in awk. it can be done, but...... | 00:12 |
| slangasek | ah, yes | 00:13 |
| kirkland | slangasek: awk is more like a tire iron. there bigger, better, faster, prettier, tools in the shed, but in the right situation, it'll get you out of a jam. | 00:16 |
| slangasek | kirkland: "awk is more like a tire iron. If you find yourself faced with someone wielding it, back away slowly." | 00:22 |
| kirkland | slangasek: i'd agree with that one too ;-) | 00:23 |
| kirkland | slangasek: i suppose you could "hit them with a pipe" and "grep it away from them" ? | 00:24 |
| slangasek | haha | 00:24 |
| kirkland | nerd humor gone too far | 00:25 |
| slangasek | no, nerd humor gone too far would be "sed plerumque sequitur ocassio calvata" | 00:27 |
| slangasek | or "occasio calvata", if I could spell today | 00:28 |
| verb3k | Are there plans to upgrade Transmission to the latest release? it fixes many problems | 00:42 |
| verb3k | http://www.transmissionbt.com/ | 00:42 |
| alex-weej | asac: still up? | 00:43 |
| verb3k | It has smaller memory footprint | 00:43 |
| pochu | verb3k: don't think so, too late and it adds new features | 00:44 |
| pochu | jdong: ^ | 00:44 |
| jdong | see bug 208836 | 00:45 |
| verb3k | pochu, but it also fixes many many problems, we will need this during the 3 year timespan | 00:45 |
| verb3k | + lower footprint | 00:46 |
| jdong | please read the bug report | 00:47 |
| verb3k | ok | 00:47 |
| jdong | so far I am planning , with Charles, to isolate the bugfix patches to 1.06 | 00:47 |
| jdong | we will hold off on the new features of 1.10 for now | 00:47 |

| verb3k | I see | 00:47 |
| jdong | transmissions's also one of those things that I backport within a week of a new release, so that's where Hardy users can go for newer versions | 00:48 |
| jdong | but at this stage IMO it's too big of a risk to upgrade the default torrent client to a UI-changed version. | 00:48 |
| verb3k | jdong, I see, I think I agree now :) | 00:52 |
| jdong | verb3k: alright, cool :) | 00:52 |
| verb3k | jdong, as long as there will be backports I am cool :) | 00:52 |
| jdong | verb3k: I promise there will be backports :) | 00:52 |

| RAOF | I could be using the wrong plugins, of course. | 01:08 |

| * StevenK belts jdong | 05:36 | |
| Fujitsu | Yes, yes it is. | 05:36 |
| StevenK | lamont: So, dund, hidd, and pand are missing? | 05:37 |
| lamont | and there are corresponding --enable-foo entries in configure that weren't there before... | 05:37 |
| ion_ | jdong: Haha! (the email) | 05:37 |
| lamont | OTOH, there are comments about having dbus integration for at least some parts of it... | 05:37 |
| StevenK | lamont: You think we need a few --enable's scattered around, and the extra files installed? | 05:43 |
| lamont | well, I can't see how to get dund otherwise... not so sure about hidd | 05:43 |
| lamont | hidd and pand seem to maybe just possibly have dbus ducttape | 05:44 |
| TheMuso | But that doesn't help those who may need such daemons on a system where there is no GUI, and no dbus... | 05:47 |
| StevenK | lamont: Are you able to play, or were you hoping I would just fix it? | 05:50 |
| lamont | I can play - I just wanted to give you the opportunity to say "hell no, not that way" :-) | 05:50 |
| lamont | and then there's the question of whether we want to restore all of those binaries, just dund, or somewhere in between... | 05:51 |
| lamont | and then there's the little tidbit that I'm going to hit bed in about 3 minutes... | 05:53 |
| StevenK | lamont: I have no idea about bluetooth | 05:54 |
| lamont | heh. you gonna use my old argument of "I just upload bits??" :-) | 05:54 |
| StevenK | lamont: Works for me. :-) | 05:55 |
| lamont | ok. so you think I should just enable all the binaries - and people can sort out dbus vs helper binaries at their leisure? | 05:57 |
| lamont | anyway, I'll upload something in about 16 hours or so. :-) | 05:57 |

| Fjodor | Sorry if this seems like a support question, but I just want to know if what I see is expected behaviour or not... I have replaced 2 old dvd drives with a single new one, and the symlink to the device is now /dev/dvd1 (and dvdrw1, cdrom1 and cdrw1). Is this to be expected, or shouldn't it rather be dvd, dvdrw, cdrom and cdrw, now that there is now only a single one of those types of drives? | 11:14 |
| james_w | Fjodor: that's expected behaviour. hotplugging means that you can't know there will only ever be one. | 11:15 |

| * soren tries to act innocent | 11:21 | |
| pitti | slangasek, james_w: right, that indeed was a typo; of course it should be ubuntu0.6.06 etc. | 11:21 |
| asac | soren: you think we can come up with a script for dispatcher.d? | 11:21 |
| asac | soren: how can me make samba behave correctly when changing the IP? | 11:22 |
| pitti | james_w: do you want to prepare the SRUs, or shall I help you with them? | 11:22 |
| soren | asac: Well, I'm hoping a SIGHUP (or smbcontrol reload-config) will make samba figure out that it's got a new IP. | 11:23 |
| asac | soren: so only call SIGHUP on start) :? | 11:23 |
| asac | and do nothing on stop? | 11:23 |
| * ogra_cmpc thinks smbcontrol reload-config sounds way cleaner ... leave it to the tool to care | 11:23 | |

| pitti | james_w: right, I'll gladly help you with anything you encounter | 11:24 |
| asac | soren: but thats strange | 11:24 |
| james_w | pitti: so for dapper it would be 20050804-0ubuntu0.6.06 ? | 11:24 |
| asac | soren: well not | 11:24 |
| james_w | pitti: given that dapper currently has 20050804 | 11:25 |
| pitti | james_w: exactly | 11:25 |
| james_w | great, thanks. | 11:25 |
| pitti | james_w: -0ubuntu6.06 would work, too, but for hysterical raisins we usually use 0ubuntu0.6.06 | 11:25 |
| asac | soren: so you say that samba recognizes the down, but then doesn't get to know about he "up" ? | 11:25 |
| asac | soren: would reload-config the right thing then? | 11:25 |
| pitti | james_w: so that the next 'regular' ubuntu upload (ubuntu1) would be greater | 11:26 |
| soren | asac: Well, in the down case, it notices that the network has gone away. In the up case (in the bug), it's just a matter of the IP changing. | 11:26 |
| soren | asac: It's worth a try. | 11:26 |
| soren | asac: I've not tried it. It's just a guess. | 11:26 |
| soren | asac: (and haven't looked at code either) | 11:26 |
| soren | asac: I can take a quick peek at the code, when I'm back from lunch. | 11:26 |
| james_w | pitti: the bug referenced as an example on the SRU page also includes .changes, are those required? It also mentions something about the changelog mentioning approval. | 11:27 |
| pitti | james_w: the debdiff is enough for review | 11:28 |
| pitti | james_w: the .dsc, .diff.gz, and source.changes are the bits that actually get uploaded, but they can be generated from the debdiff | 11:28 |
| pitti | james_w: well, since the changelog is part of the debdiff, it needs approval, too, right | 11:28 |
| pitti | james_w: I'm picky about it because a lot of users read stable changelogs in update-manager | 11:29 |
| pitti | james_w: so " * Fix bug (LP: #1234)" isn't helpful at all | 11:29 |
| james_w | pitti: but the text of the changelog doesn't need to specify that the SRU is approved or anything? | 11:29 |
| pitti | james_w: no; it should be a human-readable text which points out the impact, some technical details, and the bug # | 11:29 |
| pitti | james_w: sth like " * Do not mark variable names ad translatable. This fixes certificates under Brazilian Portugese locales (LP: #1234)" | 11:30 |
| pitti | i. e. properly describe the bug (for users), the solution (for developers), and the bug# (for tracking) | 11:31 |
| james_w | ok, great. Thanks | 11:31 |
| asac | soren: you could use /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown as a template if you want to give it a quick shot. | 11:34 |
| ogra_cmpc | asac, btw, we were advised to use the suspend.d and resume.d dirs for that in gutsy (for dhcpd), is it better to use /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ here ? | 11:42 |
| * ogra_cmpc notes that the dhcpd patch should be updated to use pm-utils though | 11:42 | |
| ogra_cmpc | soren, are you the dhcpd guy now ? ^^^ | 11:42 |
| asac | ogra_cmpc: why suspend and resume if i want up and down handling? | 11:43 |
| ogra_cmpc | hmm, indeed | 11:43 |
| asac | i am confused :/ | 11:43 |
| ogra_cmpc | dhcpd is unlikely to be used on dynamic devices :) | 11:43 |
| asac | ogra_cmpc: who knows. i am sure that someone complained that dhcpd doesn't work well with network-manager :) | 11:44 |
| ogra_cmpc | heh | 11:44 |
| ogra_cmpc | sorry, i didnt think that far, i thought they could be related but dhcpd is indeed different | 11:45 |
| ogra_cmpc | still though, the patch needs updating | 11:45 |
| asac | not sure ... maybe it should be restarted as well when network manager downs and ups interfaces :) | 11:45 |
| ogra_cmpc | well, dhcpd should be run on dynamic interfaces at all imho | 11:46 |
| ogra_cmpc | *shouldnt | 11:47 |
| asac | how do prevent that? | 11:47 |
| ogra_cmpc | by not tieing dhcpd start/stop to NM but to pm-tools :) | 11:47 |
| ogra_cmpc | dhcpd will start if it finds an interface with an IP range iot knows from its own config | 11:48 |
| ogra_cmpc | it wont start at all if thats not the case | 11:48 |
| ogra_cmpc | so NM doesnt matter for it here | 11:48 |
| soren | ogra_cmpc: I don't think so, no. | 11:49 |
| ogra_cmpc | soren, i just saw it was handed to the server team recently here in teh channel, but forgot to whom | 11:49 |
| ogra_cmpc | might have been mathiaz | 11:51 |
| * soren has lost track of the amount of things he's supposed to handle :) | 11:51 | |
| james_w | pitti: I think the original fix may have been too simplistic, do we need to provide an upgrade path from broken versions that does something for pt_BR users? | 12:11 |
| james_w | currently they still won't get any enabled, as they are all marked to ignore. | 12:12 |
| james_w | is there a way we can detect if they were hit by the bug? We don't know what locale was used originally do we? | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | pitti: because the bug was filed elsewhere, and in any case was never a d-i bug | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | pitti: Steve's comment is correct | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | pitti: there were two different bugs conflated into one | 12:15 |
| scobby | hi all | 12:33 |
| scobby | why you dont fix that errors in /usr/bin/compiz for the path !! the path is /usr/local/bin/compiz. but the right path would be /usr/bin/compiz.real !! | 12:34 |
| scobby | i have already hardy installed and this basic bug is annoying | 12:35 |
| pitti | james_w: indeed, there should be a transition path; maybe detect if the file sizes are 0? | 12:38 |
| james_w | pitti: that's probably the safest, it would be bad for anyone that had chosen to enable no certificates | 12:40 |
| pitti | james_w: hm, if someone dpkg-reconfigure'd the package and chose not to use any certificate, it would be empty as well? | 12:40 |
| pitti | james_w: if we need to take debconf values into account, then IMHO a 'forced reconfigure' on upgrade should work? | 12:41 |
| seb128 | scobby: what bug is that? do you have a launchpad bug number? | 12:41 |
| scobby | i dont know but its only a minor bug. the path is wrong. the right path is /usr/bin and there is /usr/local/bin. and the libary path is wrong too, and the compiz bin path | 12:42 |
| scobby | every time i update compiz or reinstall i have to change these path to /usr/bin | 12:42 |
| seb128 | scobby: where is the wrong path used? | 12:43 |
| soren | scobby: Where to you change that path? | 12:43 |
| james_w | pitti: I'm unable to actually get debconf to ask me in the pbuilder chroot, I haven't yet worked out why | 12:43 |
| scobby | wrong path in /usr/bin/compiz | 12:43 |
| james_w | pitti: but a forced reconfigure wouldn't work for pt_BR I think, as they are all marked as rejected and so filtered out from the list that would be shown | 12:44 |
| scobby | you see the wrong pathes in the compiz wrapper? | 12:46 |
| scobby | any dev should repair that. but btw some people report it is working with that wrong path. but not for my 2 pcs | 12:46 |
| soren | I see them, but I'm deeply surprised. compiz works just fine here. | 12:47 |
| james_w | scobby: is there a bug in the bugtracker? | 12:47 |
| scobby | you are one of them | 12:47 |
| scobby | james_w: didnt search | 12:47 |
| seb128 | what wrong path is used? | 12:47 |
| === bigon` is now known as bigon | ||
| soren | seb128: The first variable set is COMPIZ_BIN_PATH | 12:48 |
| scobby | wrong: /usr/local/bin right: /usr/bin same with COMPIZ_NAME="compiz" but COMPIZ_NAME="compiz.real" is right | 12:48 |
| seb128 | Amaranth, mvo: around? ^ | 12:48 |
| soren | seb128: The final line that ends up calling compiz starts with $COMPIZ_BIN_PATH. Running it with sh -x clearly says /usr/bin/compiz.real, though. | 12:49 |
| soren | Ah. /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager has the answer. | 12:50 |
| soren | scobby: Do you have that file? | 12:50 |
| scobby | i have similar files | 12:51 |
| scobby | scobby@laptop:~$ nano /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager. | 12:51 |
| scobby | compiz-manager.bak compiz-manager.ubuntu compiz-manager.ubuntu.dpkg-new | 12:51 |
| scobby | compiz-manager.dpkg-dist compiz-manager.ubuntu.bak | 12:51 |
| scobby | but the pathes are wrong or i am wrong? | 12:51 |
| Hobbsee | greetings | 12:51 |
| james_w | that looks like fallout from some conffile updates | 12:52 |
| seb128 | scobby: the path are sent in /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager | 12:52 |
| seb128 | s/sent/set | 12:52 |
| seb128 | hey Hobbsee | 12:52 |
| soren | The paths in /usr/bin/compiz is (as you've seen) /usr/local/bin. However, we override that in a configuration file, which you seem to have chosen to remove. | 12:52 |
| soren | (or at least rename) | 12:52 |
| scobby | hmmm sucks. maybe in /usr/bin/compiz should be the right path from the beginning | 12:53 |
| seb128 | scobby: would need Amaranth or mvo to comment, but it seems to be the upstream version there and the ubuntu changes in /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager | 12:53 |
| seb128 | scobby: why did you remove the correct configuration? | 12:53 |
| scobby | i never removed that config. and i didnt know that there is also a config hidden ;-) | 12:54 |
| mvo | scobby: as seb128 said, we use the compiz-manager wrapper that comes from upstream and use the config to customize it to our needs | 12:55 |
| scobby | i think some people have that problems and the best solution would be to set the right path in /usr/bin/compiz and dont hope for a correct use of n /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager | 12:55 |
| seb128 | scobby: if you didn't do that you used some broken tool which did it for you | 12:55 |
| scobby | since i can think i always have to edit that /usr/bin/compiz | 12:55 |
| scobby | and with hardy i have also to comment out that new laptop check for radeon ...... | 12:56 |
| seb128 | scobby: restore /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager and you will have no need to do those changes | 12:57 |
| scobby | ok i try it | 12:57 |
| scobby | but the laptop check has to be removed for me to, btw i dont understand why my laptop should not use compiz?? | 12:59 |
| scobby | ok i renamed that compiz-manager and now it works | 12:59 |
| scobby | but this is not a good solution | 13:00 |
| pitti | james_w: you might need dpkg-reconfigure debconf first | 13:00 |
| pitti | james_w: hm, too bad; ah, right, the bug was in debconf itself, not in the evaluation of the debconf DB | 13:00 |
| james_w | pitti: dpkg-reconfigure debconf does nothing either | 13:01 |
| james_w | even with -plow -freadline | 13:01 |
| Hobbsee | \sh: i did, then persia reinstated it. Don't mention the lack of power of the MC and such | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | pitti: sorry, lacking context, which bug in debconf? | 13:02 |
| pitti | cjwatson: sorry, bad expression; I mean "the bug was in ca-certificate's debconf templates itself" | 13:03 |
| cjwatson | ah | 13:03 |
| pitti | cjwatson: not in the debconf package | 13:03 |
| pitti | james_w: hm, weird | 13:03 |
| james_w | http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2003/09/msg00047.html | 13:05 |
| james_w | it appears I can't do it within the chroot | 13:05 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | james_w, you can do fiddly things with the passthrough frontend and work through a filedescriptor that you can access from outside the chroot then i think | 13:07 |
| pitti | Riddell: nice one on u-archive@! | 13:07 |
| james_w | pitti: I think we can do it with a forced reconfigure, so that the only annoyance will be an extra question for non pt_BR users. | 13:08 |
| james_w | ogra_cmpc_: I'd be happy with the readline frontend, so let's hope it doesn't come to that | 13:09 |
| pitti | james_w: hm, extra question for affected users is ok (pt_BR), but not for the unaffected users? | 13:09 |
| james_w | pitti: so, forced reconfigure if the file is empty, and just cope with annoying those few users who deactivated all certificates? | 13:11 |
| pitti | james_w: that sounds good | 13:12 |
| james_w | pitti: I'll try and come up with that then | 13:12 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | pitti, is there an easy way to prevent translations to be ripped out of a package ? | 13:12 |
| james_w | pitti: we should put the improved fix in hardy as well? | 13:12 |
| pitti | james_w: indeed, and please let's have it uploaded to hardy first | 13:13 |
| pitti | ogra_cmpc_: export NO_PKG_MANGLE=1 in debian/rules | 13:13 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | thanks :) | 13:13 |
| pitti | ogra_cmpc_: that will also suppress pkgmaintainermangler, though | 13:13 |
| pitti | ogra_cmpc_: and prevent LP import | 13:13 |
| pitti | ogra_cmpc_: why do you want to do that? | 13:14 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | seems we got a patch for ldm to make it translateable | 13:14 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | pitti, i dont need lang\packs in ltsp chroots ... the only thing exposed to the user is the ldm gui | 13:14 |
| james_w | pitti: sure. | 13:14 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | so i'd like to keep the translations in ldm to save size | 13:14 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | (instead of installing the whole translation set) | 13:15 |
| pitti | ogra_cmpc_: I see; that currently means that you need to use LP manually for translations | 13:15 |
| pitti | ogra_cmpc_: yeah, makes sense | 13:15 |
| calugor | haha I need to download more than the size of the CD to upgrade to 8.04 | 13:48 |
| calugor | 900mb :/ | 13:48 |
| Hobbsee | calugor: got a lot of stuff that's not on the cd installed? | 13:49 |
| calugor | yeah | 13:50 |

| cjwatson | soren: is it intentional that kvm seems to do no work when it doesn't have X input focus? | 14:02 |
| soren | cjwatson: Um.. No :) | 14:02 |
| cjwatson | actually, that's not quite true - when it isn't on the current virtual desktop | 14:02 |
| cjwatson | it's rather inconvenient not to be able to just leave a test running and go and do something else | 14:02 |
| soren | cjwatson: Execution is halted? | 14:02 |
| soren | cjwatson: With the sdl frontend? | 14:03 |
| cjwatson | I'm running 'sudo kvm -hda ~/desktop.img -cdrom hardy-desktop-i386.iso -boot d -m 512' | 14:03 |
| cjwatson | so whatever is the default I guess | 14:03 |
| === TeTeT_ is now known as TeTeT | ||
| cjwatson | when I switch desktops, activity in my system monitor applet drops to zero | 14:03 |
| cjwatson | but, interestingly, only if kvm had focus before I switched desktops | 14:04 |
| cjwatson | if I alt-tab and then switch desktops, activity continues | 14:04 |
| soren | When running like that, you don't need sudo. | 14:04 |
| soren | Just access to /dev/kvm. | 14:04 |
| cjwatson | ok, but does that matter? | 14:04 |
| soren | Nono, not at all. | 14:04 |
| soren | I'm just saying. | 14:04 |
| cjwatson | I'll add myself to the kvm group, then | 14:04 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | but it might expose something | 14:04 |
| soren | cjwatson: I can't seem to reproduce it.. | 14:05 |
| cjwatson | I noticed the same thing last night | 14:06 |
| cjwatson | (but didn't nail it down quite as much) | 14:06 |

| soren | cjwatson: You switch virtual desktops with ctrl-alt-arrow keys, right? | 14:36 |
| soren | Or did you trigger it some other way? | 14:36 |
| mvo | Riddell: I did another upload of release-upgrader-apt that should make pkgstriptranslations happy, would be cool if you could accept it | 14:36 |
| soren | ctrl-alt tells kvm (qemu, actually) to grab input focus. When you switch to a different virtual desktop, I'm guessing it can't finish grabbing input, so it gets stuck. | 14:37 |
| cjwatson | soren: ctrl-alt-arrow, yes | 14:41 |
| soren | qemu does it, too. | 14:42 |
| Riddelll | mvo: ok | 14:43 |
| mvo | rock, thanks riddell | 14:43 |
| davmor3 | soren: in qemu at least there is the option to change the key for grabbing. I think it's in prefs if memory servers | 14:44 |
| soren | davmor3: prefs? | 14:44 |
| davmor3 | preferences | 14:45 |
| soren | What preferences? | 14:45 |
| davmor3 | soren: sorry that might be part of qemu launcher the gtk app for setting up qemu | 14:47 |
| soren | The key combo to do it seems to be #define'd in the code. | 14:47 |
| cjwatson | davmor3: I'm not bothered about changing the key for grabbing, I'm fine with it being ctrl-alt; I just occasionally have to press ctrl-alt twice, that's all | 14:50 |
| soren | davmor3: Maybe you're thinking of the alternate grab code? (ctrl-alt-shift) | 14:51 |
| soren | davmor3: You don't seem to be able to specify arbitrary ones. | 14:52 |

| carlos | however, I think that's a duplicate | 15:43 |
| TomaszD | carlos, yeah well it wasn't exactly fixed, did you try opening policykit-gnome with Polish locale? | 15:43 |
| seb128 | what is the issue? | 15:44 |
| carlos | TomaszD: yeah, I get it untranslated too | 15:44 |
| carlos | seb128: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-gnome/+bug/200092 is a duplicate of https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-gnome/+bug/199255 | 15:44 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 200092 in policykit-gnome "Untranslatable string in policykit authentication dialog box" [Undecided,New] | 15:44 |
| carlos | at least that's what it seems to be | 15:45 |
| seb128 | pitti: shouldn't this tool be masked from the menus? is it useful to any standard user? | 15:45 |
| carlos | seb128: I'm not sure whether it may help you to fix it, but with strace, the policykit-gnome programs try to open message.mo file to get translations from | 15:45 |
| TomaszD | I too think that policykit-gnome in the menu is not a good idea | 15:46 |
| carlos | seb128: well, one of the missing translations is the one about the auth dialog when you try to increase your privileges | 15:46 |
| TomaszD | yeah, just fix that, hide the menu entry and it'll be fine | 15:46 |
| carlos | so that's still an issue, even that other application is removed from the menu | 15:46 |
| * carlos -> back to the translations sprint.... | 15:47 | |
| seb128 | carlos: enjoy ;-) | 15:48 |
| pitti | seb128: it's quite an expert tool, indeed | 15:50 |

| james_w | pitti: hi. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6327/ is my new propsed fix for hardy | 16:51 |
| james_w | it checks if they are upgrading from a broken version and the file is empty, and if so offers a list of all certificates | 16:51 |
| james_w | however the user must still select them all if they want them, which is a pain | 16:52 |
| pitti | james_w: the version comparison looks a bit weird | 16:54 |
| james_w | yeah, that might be my lack of shell scripting knowledge showing | 16:54 |
| pitti | james_w: shouldn't a version for $release just compare against lt-nl fixed_version_in_$release? | 16:54 |
| pitti | instead of each release testing versions from all other releases? | 16:55 |
| pitti | james_w: right, IMHO you should pre-set the choices to enable all of them in debconf | 16:55 |
| pitti | james_w: in particular, all choices which get enabled by default if you install the package from scratch | 16:55 |
| pitti | I wonder if there is a much easier way to trigger that? | 16:56 |
| james_w | I'm trying to take care of the upgrade path, so that if they install a fixed version and then reject all certificates they will not be prompted each time they upgrade a release. | 16:56 |
| pitti | james_w: also, $cur_version is the old version in many cases, I think, not the one you are upgrading to | 16:57 |
| pitti | because debconf often runs before preinst (ICBW, though) | 16:57 |
| james_w | yes, that's what I want to use | 16:57 |
| pitti | but 'eq'? shouldn't you need 'ge' then, which would again ruin the comparison? | 16:58 |
| pitti | if we'll get another version into any release, it'll fail again, no? | 16:58 |
| james_w | it will break if there are any more updates to stable releases, yes | 16:58 |

| cjwatson | nxvl: your patches look fine, but you should include the CVE ID in the changelogs | 17:00 |
| pitti | james_w: hm, without knowing the package in detail: wouldn't it suffice to check the 'seen' flags? | 17:00 |
| pitti | james_w: if seen is true, don't touch configuration; otherwise (seen is false), behave like installing from scratch | 17:00 |
| pitti | shouldn't that be much more robust and less code? | 17:01 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: yes, i meant dapper-gutsy patches i saw that it was already fixed on hardy | 17:02 |
| cjwatson | nxvl: right, sorry, I was confused by the way you used the word "already" | 17:03 |

| cjwatson | it should do ... I thought I fixed that in hardy | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | it didn't work in edgy-gutsy | 17:22 |
| mvo | I'm confused now, it says loading /usr/share/keymaps/de.map.bz2 but that direcotry is empty :) - but it works | 17:23 |
| mvo | (in hardy that is) | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | the message lies, it actually runs ckbcomp behind the scenes | 17:24 |
| mvo | heh :) ok, thanks | 17:24 |
| mathiaz | mvo: is there a way to tell do-release-upgrade to use a local deb repository during the upgrade ? | 17:27 |
| mathiaz | mvo: I'm trying to test a new version of the samba package to fix an upgrade problem | 17:28 |
| mvo | mathiaz: yes, but its a bit complicated currently and requires some manual hacking unfortunately | 17:30 |
| mathiaz | mvo: ok - I'll use apt-get dist-upgrade then | 17:30 |
| james_w | pitti: it works: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6329/ | 17:30 |
| james_w | at least for the pt_BR case | 17:30 |
| pitti | james_w: hm, that looks better, but isn't exactly what I meant | 17:31 |
| james_w | ah, ok | 17:31 |
| pitti | james_w: I thought if seen is false, then the question should stay 'low', and it shuold Just Happen | 17:31 |
| mvo | mathiaz: in automatic upgrade testing mode its simpler, but you need a kvm capable machine for this | 17:32 |
| pitti | james_w: i. e. if the question is seen=false, we can assume that the user never dpkg-reconfigured it | 17:32 |
| pitti | (right?) | 17:32 |
| mathiaz | mvo: I do have such hardware ! | 17:32 |
| pitti | james_w: and thus clean up automatically; and if it's seen=true, we don't do anything, since it is manually configured | 17:32 |
| james_w | well, I think the problem is the even if the user did the values are not stored correctly in pt_BR | 17:32 |
| pitti | james_w: would that work? | 17:32 |
| pitti | james_w: ah, I see | 17:32 |
| james_w | I don't know if in the default case seen=false | 17:33 |
| mario_limonciell | asac, I've been wondering, why does NetworkManager spam /var/log/syslog in it's own nonstandard format rather than it's own log file? | 17:33 |
| pitti | james_w: ok, in this case we should set the priority to critical if locale is pt_BR only | 17:33 |
| james_w | pitti: the current locale? | 17:34 |
| TomaszD | carlos, sorry to bother you again, but where in lp can I find the template for this /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-pl_PL.html page (welcome page of firefox). dpkg -S doesn't return any package for this. | 17:34 |
| carlos | TomaszD: if it's in Launchpad, it should be ubuntu-docs because is the only documentation that we translate using Launchpad | 17:35 |
| pitti | james_w: I jsut installed ca-certificates from scratch, and the debconf questios do not have the seen flag | 17:35 |
| asac | mario_limonciell: i think its planned upstream for 0.7 | 17:35 |
| jwendell | hi, seb128. is gdm broken? console-kit, or something? | 17:35 |
| carlos | TomaszD: better check with mdke | 17:35 |
| mario_limonciell | asac, ah okay very good | 17:35 |
| pitti | james_w: yeah, that should be good enough IMHO | 17:35 |
| TomaszD | mdke, hi, where in lp can I find the template for this /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-pl_PL.html page (welcome page of firefox). dpkg -S doesn't return any package for this. | 17:36 |
| pitti | james_w: (you can check it in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat, you know that?) | 17:36 |
| james_w | pitti: you mean peek in to the file to see the current values? | 17:36 |
| pitti | james_w: right, and the seen flags | 17:36 |
| pitti | james_w: so: "unseen" -> behave like fresh installation, i.e. enable defaults without asking; "seen" and pt_BR: raise prio to critical; "seen" and != pt_BR: do nothing | 17:37 |
| pitti | james_w: ^ is that correct? | 17:37 |
| pitti | james_w: and all wrapped into a dpkg --compare-versions "$cur_version" lt-nl "fixed_version_in_this_release" | 17:38 |
| pitti | james_w: maintainer scripts need to be idempotent anyway, so the code must work if run twice | 17:38 |
| pitti | so, relying on 'eq' comparison is dangerous IMHO | 17:39 |
| james_w | pitti: looking in the confid.dat it seems that all the information is there somehow, so perhaps it's possible to rescue this properly | 17:43 |
| pitti | james_w: what do you think about the three cases I stated above? | 17:48 |
| james_w | pitti: I think that's sensible. | 17:49 |
| evand | We need to put something in the provider field in Add / Remove programs for Wubi. Would the Ubuntu Foundation be the most appropriate option, or would "Ubuntu Community" or "Canonical Ltd." be preferred. | 17:54 |

| seb128 | jwendell: that bugs says nothing about gdm apparently | 18:02 |
| jwendell | seb128, yes, I know, but this is the only clue I have | 18:02 |
| seb128 | how "broken" is it and since when? | 18:02 |
| seb128 | gdm didn't change for a while | 18:02 |
| seb128 | nor did consolekit | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | evand: Ubuntu Foundation wouldn't be appropriate really, and Canonical doesn't feel appropriate since it's largely not written by us. Perhaps just "Ubuntu"? | 18:03 |
| jwendell | seb128, GDM starts, I see the brown background, but it doesn't show the faces, the cursor is the 'wait' (circle) | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | evand: (provided that this isn't a statement of copyright) | 18:03 |
| evand | cjwatson: yeah, agreed. Ok, thanks. | 18:03 |
| jwendell | seb128, maybe usplash? there was an update of it... | 18:03 |
| seb128 | jwendell: try to downgrade or boot without usplash | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | the usplash update is a no-op if you have a configured /etc/usplash.conf | 18:04 |
| evand | cjwatson: in which case it would be Canonical? | 18:04 |
| seb128 | jwendell: since when do you have the issue, did you try to reboot? | 18:04 |
| seb128 | jwendell: what else did you upgrade? | 18:04 |
| cjwatson | evand: no, that would be incorrect | 18:04 |
| jwendell | seb128, yep, twice | 18:04 |
| cjwatson | evand: we didn't write most of it and it's legally very dodgy indeed to claim copyright on something you didn't write (or pay for) | 18:04 |
| seb128 | jwendell: maybe try booting without usplash if you want to make sure | 18:04 |
| jwendell | seb128, ok, will try now | 18:05 |
| evand | ah, point taken | 18:05 |
| ogra_cmpc_ | evand, doesnt wubi have a copyright file you can pull that out from ? | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | evand: the copyright holders are the actual legal entities who wrote the code - so Ago et al, and Canonical Ltd. for our contributions | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | evand: but IIRC the provider field is not a statement of copyright so this is moot | 18:05 |
| evand | ok, thanks | 18:06 |
| jwendell | seb128, same thing :( | 18:09 |
| seb128 | jwendell: what did you upgrade since it was working? | 18:10 |
| jwendell | seb128, it's not usplash | 18:10 |

| slangasek | basically, lifeless reported that /etc/timezone was missing, so he wasn't getting updated timezone data | 20:44 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: I suggest asking for /var/log/installer/syslog to see if anything went wrong during instal | 20:46 |
| cjwatson | l | 20:46 |
| cjwatson | it could be that ubiquity didn't finish but he went ahead anyway, for example | 20:46 |
| cjwatson | sometimes the system can still be mostly usable | 20:46 |
| slangasek | Seveas: you still have /var/log/installer/syslog to hand? | 20:46 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: so the timezone is saved after the bootloader is written out (hmm, eew)? | 20:46 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: no, but somebody could have made bootloader arrangements by hand and then forgotten about it :) | 20:47 |
| slangasek | heh | 20:47 |
| cjwatson | tzsetup writes /etc/timezone unconditionally | 20:47 |
| cjwatson | are we sure that lifeless' problem is that /etc/timezone is missing? he doesn't mention that in the bug | 20:48 |
| Seveas | slangasek, one line related to tzsetup: | 20:49 |
| Seveas | Jul 19 22:54:11 ubuntu ubiquity: Jul 19 22:54:11 ubiquity: Starting up '['log-output', '-t', 'ubiquity', '--pass-stdout', '/usr/lib/ubiquity/tzsetup/post-base-installer']' for ubiquity.components.timezone_apply.TimezoneApply | 20:49 |
| slangasek | yes, we discussed it at length on IRC, the bug submission was more terse though | 20:49 |
| Seveas | and something indeed went wrong | 20:49 |
| Seveas | the system was not connected to the internet so could not install the NL langpacks | 20:49 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: tzdata.postinst looks wrong to me | 20:49 |
| slangasek | Seveas: could you attach the log to the bug, then? | 20:49 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: current or past? | 20:49 |
| Seveas | will check for sensitive info and do | 20:49 |
| cjwatson | ... oh, no, sorry, I misread | 20:50 |
| cjwatson | I thought it would only ever update /etc/localtime if you were in dpkg-reconfigure | 20:50 |
| cjwatson | but I read || instead of && | 20:50 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: I've already been over the current tzdata.postinst with the Debian glibc folks, I'm fairly confident that it's correct | 20:50 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 20:50 |
| cjwatson | Seveas: that's just status output, we'd need more context | 20:50 |
| Seveas | cjwatson, yeah, but that's a bit too much for irc, attaching to bug... | 20:51 |
| Seveas | attached | 20:53 |
| emgent | heya | 20:54 |
| cjwatson | Seveas: and /etc/timezone is missing after that? | 20:56 |
| cjwatson | there's no mention of a problem at that stage in the installer | 20:56 |
| cjwatson | I think a maintainer script must be stomping on it | 20:56 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: "after that" being "now that he's upgraded across three releases and is running hardy" :/ | 20:57 |
| cjwatson | perhaps the preinst should check if /etc/timezone is missing and if so try comparing /etc/localtime with all the timezone files to reconstruct it ... | 20:57 |
| cjwatson | might not help either, but would help if the upgrade were direct | 20:57 |
| Seveas | I'll run sime tests tomorrow | 20:58 |
| cjwatson | could be gnome-system-tools for all I know | 20:58 |
| Seveas | err, thursday | 20:58 |
| cjwatson | or the clock applet | 20:58 |
| Seveas | trashable system is in the office | 20:58 |
| * cjwatson acquires a new level of understanding of how horrible the handling of the numeric keypad . (or in some layouts ,) key is | 21:12 | |
| mathiaz | slangasek: there isn't any difference between edgy and dapper | 21:15 |
| slangasek | mathiaz: ok, cool | 21:15 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: so you can upload a new version of samba with your fix | 21:16 |
| slangasek | sounds good | 21:16 |
| pitti | mjg59: WDYT about https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/162654/comments/8 ? | 21:17 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 162654 in pm-utils "networkmanager (0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0) needs to be restarted manually after suspend using pm-utils, while functioning correctly using acpi" [Undecided,Triaged] | 21:17 |
| croSmiley | is there any way to code in c# in ubuntu? | 21:18 |
| pitti | mjg59: I forwarded the 'network modules unload' patch to upstream, BTW, they didn't like it very much ('fix kernel instead kthxbye' type) | 21:18 |
| pitti | mjg59: however, if we keep it, then I agree that we should also call /etc/init.d/networking stop/start on suspend/resume | 21:18 |
| cjwatson | croSmiley: we ship Mono; this isn't a good place to ask about development *on* Ubuntu, though (this channel is for people actually developing Ubuntu itself) | 21:22 |
| croSmiley | cjwatson: thank you, sorry for OT | 21:31 |
| keescook | okay, so who is a g-p-m expert? I want to immediately trigger power-save mode on my monitor (since it seems to have stopped working) | 21:33 |
| thom | who do i need to talk to about #204066 ? (jcastro, you're in th eloop on this i think) | 21:33 |
| slangasek | keescook: doesn't sound like a g-p-m thing if you're talking about a one-time event, though, maybe you want 'xset dpms'? | 21:36 |
| slangasek | though ICBW | 21:36 |
| keescook | slangasek: mostly I'm trying to just debug the lack of power-save. :P I'll start with xset... | 21:36 |
| seb128_ | keescook: g-p-m didn't change recently, since when do you have the bug? | 21:37 |
| bryce | keescook: you could look at the code in xdg-screensaver; I think I included power saving commands in that | 21:37 |
| keescook | seb128_: I noticed after my last big dist-upgrade, which was about 4 days ago (which covered maybe 10 days of updates) | 21:38 |
| keescook | I just did another update today, and it's still a problem. | 21:38 |
| keescook | so now it's time to debug. ;) | 21:38 |
| keescook | "xset dpms force standby" worked just fine | 21:39 |
| seb128_ | keescook: you can run gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose | 21:39 |
| seb128_ | keescook: and set /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_display_battery in gconf-editor to some low value | 21:39 |
| mjg59 | pitti: Wurgh. No, I'm not convinced that's the right thing to do. | 21:40 |
| keescook | but I'm on AC (this is my desktop) | 21:40 |
| pitti | mjg59: but rmmod'ing any network devices will kill all up'ed devices in /etc/network/interfaces... | 21:40 |
| seb128_ | keescook: there is a similar ac key | 21:41 |
| bryce | keescook: for reference, last change to xserver was the 13th, but mostly dealt with exa/glx video issues, not power saving (AFAIK) | 21:41 |
| jcastro | thom: someone in -motu can probably look at it | 21:42 |
| bryce | wait, let me doublecheck that | 21:42 |
| keescook | bryce: yeah, it seems that x/intel is happy (dpms force worked) | 21:42 |
| seb128_ | keescook: well, the power saving delay will be idle + g-p-m setting, so you want to set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay to 1 too | 21:42 |
| keescook | seb128_: it's safe to kill the existing g-p-m daemon first? | 21:42 |
| seb128_ | keescook: yes | 21:42 |
| keescook | seb128_: okay, cool | 21:42 |
| bryce | ah, timo put in 3 more patches over the weekend. 1 exa, 2 xkb. | 21:43 |
| bryce | keescook: changes to -intel in last 10 days aren't likely to affect dpms either | 21:44 |
| bryce | the last major -intel change was the greedy heuristics stuff, though, which had pretty far reaching implications (almost entirely good) | 21:45 |
| === seb128_ is now known as seb128 | ||
| keescook | seb128: hm, no standby happened. | 21:48 |
| seb128 | keescook: anything useful in the log? | 21:48 |
| keescook | wtf, is the pastebin rot13'ing stuff for apr1st? | 21:49 |
| keescook | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61850/ | 21:49 |
| keescook | it doesn't mention DPMS during the idle. | 21:49 |
| keescook | [x11_sync_server_dpms_settings] gpm-dpms.c:130 (13:45:01): Syncing DPMS settings enabled=1 timeouts=0 0 0 | 21:49 |
| keescook | that seemed odd (the 0 timeouts) | 21:49 |
| seb128 | maybe worth talking to ted, he maintains gnome-power-manager now | 21:50 |
| seb128 | he did some change to the code to be action based | 21:50 |
| keescook | tedg: I'm trying to debug lack of DPMS when idle | 21:52 |
| keescook | dpms itself works (xset dpms force standby) | 21:52 |
| keescook | and g-p-m notices I'm idle, but DPMS never seems to trigger | 21:52 |
| keescook | log of it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61850/ (though it seems pastebin is rot13'ing eveyrhting today) | 21:52 |
| slangasek | heh | 21:53 |
| tedg | It's probably because you don't have a laptop panel entry in your HAL. | 21:53 |
| tedg | HAL tells GPM whether it has a panel that it can dim. | 21:53 |
| tedg | Oh, wait, DPMS should be regardless of that. | 21:53 |
| keescook | tedg: yeah, this is a desktop system. | 21:53 |
| keescook | I'm unclear if this is sane: | 21:53 |
| keescook | [x11_sync_server_dpms_settings] gpm-dpms.c:130 (13:45:01): Syncing DPMS settings enabled=1 timeouts=0 0 0 | 21:53 |
| tedg | keescook: Nobody uses desktops anymore... *wontfix* ;) | 21:54 |
| keescook | timeouts all 0? | 21:54 |
| keescook | haha | 21:54 |
| keescook | tedg: what should I expect to see in the gpm logs? | 21:54 |
| tedg | You should see it setting that value. | 21:55 |
| tedg | I'm trying to look for the logic, just a sec. | 21:55 |
| keescook | okay | 21:55 |
| keescook | tedg: note that this is, from my perspective, a regression -- it worked correctly prior to a few weeks ago-ish. (I didn't change any gconf settings) | 21:55 |
| keescook | (until today that is to debug it based on seb128's advice) | 21:56 |
| andrea_c7a | Hi. I created a debdiff to fix bug #201330. Now I should look for a sponsor but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess is not very clear on how to do this. Shall I set it as "Fix Released" ? Why not "Fix Committed" ? Why "unsubscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors" ? | 21:56 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 201330 in compiz "Need to whitelist multiple ATI cards, or remove blacklisting" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/201330 | 21:56 |
| pitti | andrea_c7a: subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors and set it to 'fix committed'; that sounds pretty appropriate to me | 21:57 |
| pitti | andrea_c7a: the part you are reading is for the sponsor | 21:58 |
| tedg | keescook: I believe that it broke on my desktop also, but I hadn't looked into it at all. I'm curious if an X change happened... nothing GPM related has change. | 21:58 |
| andrea_c7a | pitti: thanx I think I'll try that | 21:58 |
| tedg | keescook: but there have been bugs where people complained about similar behavior. | 21:58 |
| keescook | tedg: how do we debug it? | 21:58 |
| tedg | keescook: So I'm thinking that GPM only sets DPMS for laptop panels. Elsewise it expects X to set them. | 21:58 |
| keescook | tedg: is that behavior a regression? the gpm-prefs show a DPMS timeout. | 21:59 |
| keescook | though it's called "put display to sleep" | 21:59 |
| tedg | keescook: Perhaps, I'm thinking that the value has never actually done anything :) | 22:00 |
| keescook | tedg: that's certainly not true -- my desktop goes into blank, and later into DPMS | 22:00 |
| keescook | (or rather, it used to) | 22:00 |
| tedg | keescook: But did that value change based on how you slid the slider? | 22:01 |
| keescook | yeah | 22:01 |
| keescook | at least I think so | 22:01 |
| keescook | and either way, how do we debug the change in behavior? | 22:01 |
| seb128 | keescook: use the source? ;-) | 22:02 |
| seb128 | the g-p-m code is not really complicated | 22:02 |
| keescook | I was hoping to avoid that if someone else knew it better already. :P | 22:02 |
| seb128 | and the debug mode is verbose | 22:02 |
| * keescook downgrades gpm | 22:03 | |
| seb128 | tedg: btw did you package the new version? | 22:03 |
| tedg | I don't think that'll fix it, but go ahead :) | 22:03 |
| tedg | seb128: Yes, but I haven't logged out and in to make sure it doesn't kill my laptop yet, it works well on my desktop though. | 22:03 |
| tedg | keescook: I'm thinking that it's getting that DPMS is disabled, but it turns out there is no debug message for that.... | 22:04 |
| seb128 | tedg: could you give it a try so it can be uploaded? ;-) | 22:04 |
| keescook | hrm... | 22:07 |
| keescook | $ xset dpms 10 20 30 | 22:07 |
| keescook | $ xset -q | grep Stand | 22:07 |
| keescook | Standby: 10 Suspend: 20 Off: 30 | 22:07 |
| keescook | *change gpm* | 22:07 |
| keescook | $ xset -q | grep Stand | 22:07 |
| keescook | Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 | 22:07 |
| keescook | I assume that's what this means: | 22:08 |
| keescook | [x11_sync_server_dpms_settings] gpm-dpms.c:130 (14:07:38): Syncing DPMS settings enabled=1 timeouts=0 0 0 | 22:08 |
| keescook | gpm_debug ("not laptop, so use GPM_BACKLIGHT_METHOD_STAGGER"); | 22:09 |
| keescook | method = GPM_DPMS_METHOD_STAGGER; | 22:09 |
| keescook | that's a debug typo... | 22:09 |
| * keescook wishes he had his gnome vcs login again | 22:10 | |
| keescook | I think sync_settings is failing | 22:15 |
| keescook | if (dpms->priv->active) { | 22:15 |
| tedg | Yeah, it would seem that's the only path to all zeros. | 22:16 |
| tedg | Do you see where "active" is initialized? | 22:20 |
| keescook | tedg: not yet, I'm looking at the "Idle state changed" stuff currently | 22:20 |
| keescook | i never see "Idle state changed: SYSTEM" in my logs. should I? | 22:21 |
| tedg | I guess it's possible depending on your timeout values. But I don't think it should be normal if GPM is controlling everything. | 22:22 |
| tedg | keescook: You find anything odd? | 22:43 |
| keescook | I'm presently suspicious of 01_no_backlight_on_idle.patch | 22:44 |
| keescook | yup. that appears to be unchecked in my gconf for "idle_dim_ac". | 22:45 |
| keescook | which means it never attempts DPMS | 22:45 |
| keescook | tedg: that's a problem. :P | 22:45 |
| tedg | Yeah, for me too. I wonder why it's unset. | 22:45 |
| tedg | And why so recently... that patch has been in for a while. | 22:46 |
| keescook | confirmed, checking that box made my DPMS kick in on idle. | 22:47 |
| keescook | so... where does that gconf setting get controlled, and how could it get cleared? | 22:47 |
| keescook | btw, it was only added 2 weeks ago | 22:47 |
| tedg | It's in the schemas. I just verified that we're not changing it in the packaging. | 22:48 |
| keescook | * Adding patch 01_no_backlight_on_idle.patch which was attached on to | 22:48 |
| keescook | Bug # 137598 by Tim Hull. Not sure that it fixes the problem, but | 22:48 |
| keescook | seems like good code to include. | 22:48 |
| keescook | I would refute your claim of "good code". ;) | 22:48 |
| tedg | No, that's when I combined everything. I guess that's when it got pushed out to everyone then. | 22:48 |
| tedg | I guess the problem here is that the GConf value is related to dimming, in reality we're talking about blanking. | 22:50 |
| keescook | other people in bug 137598 have my same complaint. :( | 22:50 |

| keescook | tedg: idle_changed_cb is the entire "backlight" idle entry point. :P | 22:51 |
| tedg | keescook: Yes, that report makes sense now.... | 22:51 |
| keescook | the dim check needs to happen somewhere else, I imagine. | 22:52 |
| keescook | can we drop that patch for release, and file the dimming bug upstream to get solved more cleanly? | 22:52 |
| tedg | Well, it seems like it should be in "evaluate_and_set" when it checks to see if the other dimming options are set. | 22:55 |
| keescook | tedg: 207553 | 22:56 |
| Level15 | if i boot off the alternate cd in recovery mode and choose Reinstall Grub boot loader option, is there a way to know if it worked (besides rebooting), and if it didn't work, see the error messages? | 22:59 |
| norsetto | pitti: any chance superpitti is around? | 23:18 |
| tedg | keescook: It looks like the patch is included in 04, so when moving it, it becomes duplicate. | 23:18 |
| tedg | keescook: I'm removing that one in favor of 04. | 23:19 |
| TheMuso | norsetto: pitti is off for the night I believe. | 23:19 |

| norsetto | TheMuso: I'm fine, thx | 23:20 |
| keescook | tedg: okay, so you'll drop 01 as a fix for 207553? | 23:20 |
| tedg | keescook: Yes, building a PPA version and testing, but that's the plan. | 23:21 |
| seb128 | don't reintroduce the other bug | 23:21 |
| keescook | \o | 23:21 |
| tedg | seb128: Yes, it turns out that it was also fixed by the 04 patch. We were infact fixing it twice. | 23:21 |
| seb128 | ah, ok | 23:21 |
| seb128 | alright then | 23:22 |
| tedg | If we fix it twice does that mean we have negative bugs? | 23:22 |

| alex-weej | is Xv supposed to work with composite? | 23:26 |
| tedg | alex-weej: I don't believe so. There is a compiz video plugin, and a gstreamer output for it, but I dont' think it's super stable. | 23:27 |
| jdong | supposed to? yes. | 23:27 |
| jdong | depends on what card whether or not it actually works. | 23:27 |
| alex-weej | i've just discovered that fglrx actually does composite well now | 23:27 |
| tedg | alex-weej: Sorry, work, yes, is it GL happy, no. | 23:27 |
| alex-weej | so i'm testing it out | 23:27 |
| jdong | it works perfectly on nvidia for me, somewhat okay on Intel, puke on fglrx | 23:27 |
| alex-weej | is Xv supposed to work at all? | 23:28 |
| jdong | alex-weej: for everyone not fglrx, yes | 23:28 |
| alex-weej | cause i can't get gst to run with xv sink | 23:28 |
| alex-weej | it didn't work with radeon either | 23:28 |
| jdong | alex-weej: fglrx has been braindead retarded with xv for the past decade | 23:28 |
| jdong | right now xv works okay with moderate diagonal tearing with composite off | 23:28 |
| jdong | and with composite on, 90% of users report freakish flickering | 23:28 |
| jdong | so YMMV | 23:28 |
| alex-weej | with fglrx?! | 23:28 |
| jdong | yes, with fglrx | 23:29 |
| jdong | personally I run fglrx 8.40.4 with Xgl because it works the smoothest | 23:29 |
| alex-weej | maybe it's my card then, but the R350 on both fglrx and radeon fails to get an Xv output | 23:29 |

| jcole | i see the 2 separate ones, but not the unified of those 2 | 23:32 |
| jcole | i originally installed via the debian installer | 23:33 |
| jcole | prehaps i can modprobe something in ctrl-alt-f1? | 23:33 |
| jcole | software raid0 | 23:39 |
| TheMuso | jcole: The desktop CD doesn't support installing/using RAID partitions for installing. | 23:40 |
| jcole | TheMuso: ah, just like encrypted partitions... | 23:41 |
| TheMuso | jcole: I believe so yes. | 23:42 |
| TheMuso | jcole: I think the alternate CD is your best bet. | 23:43 |
| jcole | TheMuso: the alternate cd and the mini.iso both hang | 23:43 |
| TheMuso | jcole: How so? | 23:43 |
| jcole | TheMuso: locks up my machine | 23:43 |
| TheMuso | jcole: Where abouts in the process does it hang? | 23:43 |
| jcole | TheMuso: installing the kernel | 23:43 |
| TheMuso | ah ok... interesting. | 23:44 |
| jcole | TheMuso: it install all the packages | 23:44 |

| TheMuso | jcole: The only time mini.iso gets updated is when a new debian-installer is uploaded. | 23:53 |
| TheMuso | jcole: But you can find the mini.iso in your local mirror dists/hardy/main/installer-i386 dir I think it is. | 23:54 |
| jcole | TheMuso: i did... and burnt it... doesnt work | 23:55 |
| jcole | TheMuso: it should be rebuilt everytime there is also a kernel change | 23:55 |
| TheMuso | jcole: Yes thats right. | 23:55 |
| jcole | TheMuso: thanks alot | 23:58 |
| jcole | TheMuso: ill try the daily build and see how it goes :) | 23:59 |
| jcole | $ wget -c --no-cache http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/hardy-alternate-i386.iso | 23:59 |

| cjwatson | a hang installing the *kernel* is pretty odd - oh, he's gone | 23:59 |
| cjwatson | syslog will be useful, if he comes back | 23:59 |
