| bryce | tedg: possibly, although I see expectations have no bearing on what the driver is actually capable of so far ;-) | 00:07 |

| bryce | tedg: but yeah, this sounds like something mvo and amarath might find interesting | 00:07 |
| tedg | bryce: Heh, okay. | 00:07 |
| bryce | from an X pov, compiz either works or it doesn't, so the options would just be 1 or "any" ;-) | 00:08 |
| tedg | bryce: Honestly, that's not what all the screensaver bugs tell me. It seems very driver/temperature/direction of wind specific on which ones will kill a system. | 00:10 |

| seb128 | pitti: what issue did you have with floppy? the floppy is mounted but you get an error dialog? | 08:14 |
| pitti | seb128: hm, there was some confusion about getting different icons and weird names ("1.5 MB media", etc.) | 08:15 |
| pitti | seb128: by and large it worked | 08:15 |
| pitti | I should have taken notes, darn | 08:15 |
| seb128 | pitti: ah, that too, when unmounting the label doesn't change back, it still says 1.5M media | 08:16 |

| tjaalton | pitti: hey, would you think that jockey could handle wacom-devices until the driver/xserver did input-hotplug properly? | 08:31 |
| pitti | argh, these 'psmouse sync lost'/kernel crashes drive me crazy | 08:31 |
| pitti | tjaalton: everything's possible :) | 08:32 |
| pitti | tjaalton: for that we need (1) a reliable way of detecting them, and (2) a mostly non-interactive way to set it up | 08:32 |
| pitti | tjaalton: but certainly jockey already has enough code for xorg.conf mangling, etc. | 08:32 |
| Mithrandir | tjaalton: what's missing for input hotplug there? | 08:33 |
| pitti | tjaalton: does that need additional packages which we don't install by default, or something? | 08:33 |
| tjaalton | pitti: ok, would it be possible to hash it out at UDS, and maybe even get something in 8.04.1? (I know, a new feature, but..) | 08:33 |
| pitti | tjaalton: yes, I want to talk about jockey and device drivers at UDS anyway (also with the envy guys) | 08:34 |
| pitti | tjaalton: TBH, I fully expect to update stable releases with new hardware drivers, and thus new jockey handlers | 08:34 |
| tjaalton | pitti: the wacom input driver is installed by default, but I'm not sure if wacom-tools would be needed. the proposed dexconf-hackery only relied on detecting /dev/input/wacom, so maybe it's enough | 08:35 |
| pitti | tjaalton: hm; but if everything is already there, why can't it be set up by default then? | 08:35 |
| pitti | tjaalton: the purpose of interactive installation like jockey (notification, acknowledge, etc.) is mostly to fetch packages from unknown/third-party/non-free locations, etc. | 08:36 |
| tjaalton | Mithrandir: the driver has had some sort of hotplug support, but not quite something that works nicely with the server, which still has it's own issues | 08:36 |
| Mithrandir | tjaalton: I have an x61t, so if there's anything I can do to make it work, please tell me. | 08:36 |
| tjaalton | pitti: AIUI jockey would be needed for detecting a hotplug wacom device, so the dexconf approach would need the device to be attached during install/reconfiguration | 08:38 |
| pitti | tjaalton: ah, I see what you mean | 08:38 |
| tjaalton | Mithrandir: ah ok, so hang on then :) | 08:38 |
| pitti | tjaalton: ATM jockey doesn't have hotplug suport, it only checks at session startup; I do mean to add hotplug support, though | 08:39 |
| Mithrandir | tjaalton: I've never done actual X driver development, so that might be a bit above my skills, but if it's just testing and twiddling packages and such, I can do that easily. | 08:39 |
| tjaalton | pitti: yeah that's what occured to me a minute ago.. | 08:39 |
| pitti | tjaalton: gnome-volume-manager has some (limited) support for it, thuogh | 08:40 |
| pitti | tjaalton: check system -> settings -> removable media and devices, it has keyboards, tablets, etc. | 08:40 |
| pitti | tjaalton: so we could run a program there | 08:40 |
| tjaalton | Mithrandir: I think upstream is close to having it sorted out. We should actually have the first decent release for input-hotplug | 08:40 |
| pitti | tjaalton: depends on how the device appears in hal; you might check gnome-volume-manager -n and see the debug output (and set the program to some dummy shell script) | 08:40 |
| tjaalton | pitti: oh right, that's one approach | 08:41 |

| pitti | soren: hmm, Virtual Machine -> Shutdown broke; it still worked fine last time, now it does nothing | 09:10 |
| soren | pitti: Install acpid in your guest. | 09:11 |
| pitti | soren: erm -- this is hanging at the BIOS boot prompt | 09:11 |
| soren | Shutdown now sends an acpi powerdown event so that you can shut down your guests cleanly without having to log into them. | 09:11 |
| pitti | soren: there's a bug: after an OS reboot, it fails to boot from the CD-ROM | 09:11 |
| pitti | after a 'hard' reboot it works again | 09:11 |
| soren | pitti: That's not a bug :) | 09:11 |
| soren | Oh. | 09:11 |
| soren | Er.. | 09:11 |
| pitti | soren: yes, I did the stuff with adding the CD-ROM drive and make it the boot device | 09:11 |
| pitti | (it's not the single-shot CD-ROM thing) | 09:12 |
| soren | Well, to forcefully shut down a vm, you need to "destroy" it. It's in the menu. | 09:12 |
| pitti | so that won't delete my VM, just power it off? | 09:12 |
| soren | Yes. | 09:12 |
| soren | It destroys the running state of it. | 09:12 |
| pitti | destroy sounds dangerous, and non-reversible | 09:12 |
| pitti | ah | 09:12 |
| pitti | maybe it should be labelled 'power off' or so :) | 09:12 |
| soren | YEah, I though about it. | 09:13 |
| pitti | soren: ok, thanks, that worked | 09:13 |
| pitti | erk, except that it doesn't really; /me pokes | 09:13 |
| soren | a) virt-manager is rather well translated, and I'd lose that if I changed it. b) The term is used very consistently in a lot of other places. | 09:13 |
| pitti | I get gfxboot, select 'boot from first harddisk', then I get some text which is far too fast to read, and then it's off again | 09:14 |
| pitti | bugger | 09:14 |
| soren | pitti: When did you create this vm? | 09:15 |
| pitti | selecting 'boot from hd' in the details works | 09:15 |
| soren | Oh. Hm.. | 09:15 |
| pitti | soren: about 15 minutes ago, right before I tried a standard desktop install | 09:15 |
| soren | I've not seen that before. | 09:15 |

| pitti | anyway, good enough workaround for now | 09:15 |
| soren | How can I reproduce it? Create a vm, destroy it, add the cdrom again, tell it to boot from the cd, start? | 09:15 |

| mvo | stratus: let me check | 09:16 |
| pitti | soren: the install finished, so I want to test it | 09:16 |
| pitti | soren: usually I always boot from the CD and select "boot from first HD" in the CD's gfxboot menu | 09:16 |
| pitti | soren: that way I never need to take out the CD | 09:17 |
| pitti | or change the boot priority | 09:17 |
| mvo | stgraber: typo, thanks - updated | 09:17 |

| dholbach | nevermind | 10:19 |
| calc | aiui unopkg usually fails due to lock in root's .openoffice.org2 directory | 10:22 |
| calc | removing that directory then uninstalling/reinstalling the package in most cases fixes the issue | 10:23 |
| dholbach | calc: that was during a new installation | 10:23 |
| pitti | calc: hm, that shouldn't be a problem for fresh ubiquity installations from the DVD, though? | 10:23 |
| calc | probably not | 10:23 |
| calc | unopkg is so buggy though that there is a bug on OOo bugtracker to rewrite it as well, so it probably fails for all sorts of reasons :( | 10:24 |
| dholbach | in any case the maintainer scripts shouldn't fail :/ | 10:24 |
| dholbach | what do we do about it? | 10:26 |
| calc | dholbach: it also doesn't return reliable return codes :\ | 10:26 |
| * dholbach does another amd64-dvd-ubiquity-de-autoresize installation | 10:26 | |
| calc | i guess the only thing we really can is drop the package from the install | 10:26 |
| dholbach | doko: what do you think? | 10:27 |
| calc | it doesn't always fail, but doesn't always suceed either | 10:27 |
| dholbach | I personally feel that a every-now-and-then "prerm failed - WAAAAAAAAH" popup during the installation should be fixed before the release :-/ | 10:29 |
| doko | sure, dropping it would be the best thing. we can ignore the errors as well. calc: how das w2l behave if it install scripts failed? | 10:30 |
| calc | doko: not sure, it hasn't failed to install for me before | 10:38 |
| dholbach | calc, doko: does unopkg work at all? this is on my amd64 normal machine (after installation of writer2latex) | 10:39 |
| dholbach | daniel@bert:~$ dpkg -l openoffice.org-writer2latex | grep ^ii | 10:39 |
| dholbach | ii openoffice.org-writer2latex 0.5-6 Writer/Calc to LaTeX/XHTML converter extension for OpenOffice.org | 10:39 |
| dholbach | daniel@bert:~$ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg list | 10:39 |
| dholbach | all deployed user packages: | 10:39 |
| dholbach | <none> | 10:39 |
| dholbach | daniel@bert:~$ | 10:39 |
| * calc had thought it only failed on old install cases | 10:39 | |
| calc | dholbach: shows none for me too but i do have writer2latex successfully installed | 10:40 |
| calc | er i thought i did | 10:40 |
| calc | looks like i uninstalled it at some point, reinstalling now to test again | 10:41 |
| dholbach | so either the call in the writer2latex maintainer scripts is broken or unopkg itself | 10:42 |
| calc | its unopkg aiui, i talked to Rene about it a couple days ago when i saw the first reports about it failing | 10:43 |
| calc | i don't think he even realized it would fail on a completely fresh install though | 10:43 |
| calc | Setting up openoffice.org-writer2latex (0.5-6) ... | 10:45 |
| calc | Adding extension /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/writer2latex.uno.pkg... done. | 10:45 |
| dholbach | yes, I got that too | 10:45 |
| calc | still shows <none> for whatever reason | 10:45 |
| calc | has support for saving in latex format | 10:47 |
| calc | hmm still has it even with it removed though, hmm | 10:48 |
| calc | unless it didn't properly remove | 10:48 |
| dholbach | unopkg list --shared has some output though | 10:48 |
| dholbach | calc: ^ | 10:50 |
| calc | ah | 10:50 |
| dholbach | so I guess unopkg seems to work fine - it's just the maintainer scripts that fail because of some reason | 10:50 |
| calc | it doesn't always register properly, which is the problem | 10:51 |
| calc | hmm, has an idea | 10:52 |
| pitti | soren: erk; someone apparently seeded virt-viewer to server ship without an MIR | 10:52 |
| pitti | soren: can you please remove it from the seeds? | 10:52 |
| pitti | soren: and libvirt-bin binary is still in universe and thus it didn't make it to the server CDs | 10:53 |
| pitti | soren: I can promote it now, but would we want to rebuild the server ISOs for that? | 10:53 |
| * calc sees if it will fail to install for him now | 10:54 | |
| calc | well it might not | 10:55 |
| calc | i wonder if these packages using unopkg need to predepend on the java stuff | 10:55 |
| * calc isn't sure if unopkg works right without it or not | 10:55 | |
| calc | it looks like it does, unopkg list --shared still returns but is empty since w2l is uninstalled | 10:56 |
| calc | ok removing all java then reinstalling w2l still made it install properly | 10:56 |
| pitti | calc: apparenlty hyphen is not used by anything in main, so it wants to go back to universe; didn't you want me to promote it a while ago, for something? | 10:57 |
| calc | pitti: it should be being used for openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us(?) | 10:58 |
| pitti | calc: right, but that itself is built by hyphen, too | 10:58 |
| calc | i was going to use the lib but once i built with it, found out the lib itself had some bugs that needed to be fixed and was too late to have a new verison synced | 10:58 |
| pitti | calc: and openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us has no reverse dependencies anywhere | 10:58 |
| soren | pitti: I'm not sure. Strictly speaking, that would invalidate the testing that's already been done with the server cd's I support? | 10:58 |
| pitti | soren: right | 10:59 |
| soren | s/support/suppose/ | 10:59 |
| calc | ah ok drop it then, it was supposed to be in one of the l-s-e packages aiui | 10:59 |
| pitti | calc: since that's on the CD, too late now; but WDYT if I seed it to supported now to keep it in main, and we update l-s-en in an SRU? | 10:59 |
| mvo_ | pitti: hm, it maybe not ideal to move it back now because for dapper->hardy upgrade without universe enabled it maybe needed - a big maybe I would have to test to be sure | 10:59 |
| pitti | mvo_: for 'it' being what? | 11:00 |
| calc | pitti: yea that would be good | 11:00 |
| mvo_ | openoffice.org-hyphenation (or did I missing something?) | 11:00 |
| pitti | calc: is there a bug# about it? we should milestone it for .1 then | 11:00 |
| pitti | mvo_: right, I think above proposal is better anyway | 11:00 |
| soren | I'm not sure. I'd like to get Rick's opinion. | 11:01 |
| calc | pitti: language-support-writing-en should have a depends on it | 11:01 |
| dholbach | grrrrr, didn't fail now | 11:01 |
| calc | pitti: it was in there for 0409 and was removed for 0410 | 11:01 |
| calc | pitti: it was added/removed due to buggy openoffice.org-hyphenation/hypen interaction | 11:02 |
| calc | pitti: but those issues have been resolved so we can add it back now | 11:02 |
| calc | pitti: actually it was added in 0229 then removed 0303 then added in 0409 then removed in 0410, heh ping pong | 11:03 |

| seb128 | the choices are limited on my boxes too | 11:27 |
| cjwatson | dholbach: if it isn't clear, the reason a bunch of prerms are run in this context is that DVD ubiquity installs work by copying a huge slew of packages over (including lots of language support packages) and then removing the ones that aren't needed | 11:27 |
| cjwatson | doko,laga: have either of you read the instructions in the installation guide for this? | 11:27 |

| doko | cjwatson: I was trying to do the iso tests on my new toy :) | 11:37 |
| ogra | doko, what do you have ? | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | ogra: I'm concerned about essentially doubling the disk space requirements on cdimage by converting everything to USB images; what I want to do is provide a program for both Linux and Windows that transforms a given CD image into a USB image | 11:38 |
| cjwatson | we discussed this a bit, informally, at Boston | 11:38 |

| calc | dholbach: it could be the ooo-common issue though if unopkg isn't fully working yet when w2l is installed | 11:54 |

| dholbach | calc: without any debug output that's very hard to say | 11:55 |
| calc | dholbach: yea | 11:55 |
| calc | i'll do a complete purge of OOo and reinstall and see if i can trigger it | 11:55 |
| dholbach | still the pre-depends should make sense, no? | 11:56 |
| calc | dholbach: yea probably so | 11:57 |
| cjwatson | calc: exact order of removal could easily affect whether unopkg has all the stuff it needs to work right | 11:59 |
| cjwatson | calc: the bug is on package *removal*, not installation | 11:59 |
| calc | cjwatson: oh? | 11:59 |
| cjwatson | calc: ubiquity installs everything on the livefs and then removes the stuff it doesn't need, which includes language support packages, which will include a bunch of OOo stuff | 12:00 |
| calc | i thought they were speaking of it failing to install when installing w2l from dvd | 12:00 |
| cjwatson | calc: the "installation" from the livefs consists of copying the livefs to the installed system, file by file, and then removing packages that aren't necessary | 12:00 |
| cjwatson | very few packages are actually installed using dpkg in that environment | 12:00 |
| calc | so unopkg failed in removal of w2l then? | 12:02 |
| dholbach | yes in the prerm | 12:02 |
| calc | ah ok | 12:03 |
| calc | still doesn't make sense but perhaps slightly more than an install failing | 12:03 |

| ogra | calc, if you have desktop and alternate there, cat'ing alternate to the end of the desktop iso and using that as base for an rsync gains you something | 12:16 |

| === fta_ is now known as fta | ||
| calc | so will we have test dvds built for 8.04.1 regularly, need some way to test this fix that is likely to explode | 13:06 |
| soren | pitti: I suppose this will be done, by putting a hardy-updates directory on the new iso's? | 13:06 |
| soren | pitti: And not by merging the updates into hardy proper? | 13:06 |
| pitti | soren: the CD build scripts just have -updates and -security repos enabled and take whatever is most current (roughly) | 13:07 |

| pitti | soren, calc: oh, for test CDs we can use the -proposed versions, too, BTW | 13:07 |
| pitti | but we won't for the released .1 | 13:07 |
| calc | i don't see the bug myself but it is lockfile issue so test DVDs for users to test this would be very helpful :) | 13:08 |
| calc | i'm downloading the current dvd to see if i can get it to fail for me from that | 13:08 |
| cjwatson | soren: IIRC (it's been a while since I wrote this) it gets merged onto dists/hardy/ on the CDs, but it definitely doesn't get merged into dists/hardy/ in the archive | 13:08 |
| soren | cjwatson: Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up :) | 13:09 |
| soren | pitti: I'm on the phone with Rick. He thinks we should respin the server cd's to get libvirt-bin on there. | 13:15 |
| pitti | soren: ok; you guys will manage to re-test them in time? | 13:16 |
| soren | pitti: What is "in time" exactly? | 13:16 |
| pitti | soren: by tomorrow, final release; i. e. ideally by today evening | 13:17 |
| soren | pitti: Heheh.. | 13:17 |
| soren | pitti: Which timezone? | 13:17 |
| soren | pitti: Unless it's an Australian one, I'm almost willing to bet we can retest everything by this evening. | 13:17 |
| pitti | soren: late European, I'd say; not clearly defined :) | 13:18 |
| pitti | soren: ok, give the word, and I press enter | 13:19 |
| soren | I think that's doable. We don't have *that* many test cases. heno? | 13:19 |
| pitti | 10 | 13:19 |
| soren | heno: Any objections to respinning the server cd's? | 13:19 |
| pitti | soren: I started the respin; we don't have to use them, we can always change back the 'current' symlink :) | 13:20 |
| heno | I don't like it because it gives us zero margin -- but retesting the complete set of server CDs in time should be no problem | 13:20 |
| pitti | soren: so you can look at the new image, check libvirt-bin, and then we decide | 13:20 |
| pitti | heno: since we can always take the current image, and it is fully tested, just producing an alternative doesn't commit us to it, I'd say | 13:21 |
| heno | let's set aside the current ones and use those if they break badly | 13:21 |
| heno | pitti: indeed :) | 13:21 |
| heno | they have complete coverage now | 13:21 |
| Hobbsee | heno: if it all breaks, you just get no sleep tonight. | 13:22 |
| heno | soren: so yeah, I'm fine with that | 13:22 |
| calc | lol | 13:22 |
| soren | pitti: Ok, go. :) | 13:22 |
| heno | that too | 13:22 |
| stgraber | Server is usually one of the first image to be entirely tested, a standard server install takes like 10 minutes here | 13:22 |
| calc | Hobbsee: i've been so low on sleep that my body seem to have forgotten how to do it | 13:22 |
| xivulon | heno, for the first kernel upgrade or anything that would involve update-initramfs or update-grub after final, would it possible to have a procedure in place so that the changes are tested on loopinstallations (wubi) before release? | 13:22 |
| calc | Hobbsee: i woke up at 4:30am after ~ 4-5hr sleep and couldn't go back to sleep | 13:23 |
| heno | xivulon: sure. could you email me and davmor2 about that to remind us? | 13:23 |

| slangasek | cody-somerville: what part of OOo is getting pulled in, precisely? | 17:21 |
| cjwatson | as far as I can see it *should* just be some help/l10n packages and -common | 17:21 |
| cjwatson | but it's possible something went wrong | 17:21 |
| * slangasek nods | 17:22 | |
| * cody-somerville cries. | 17:22 | |
| cody-somerville | What changed to make this start occuring? | 17:22 |
| cody-somerville | *occurring | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | it's also possible somebody overreacted to seeing openoffice.org-something in the progress bar ;-) | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | cody-somerville: been there forever | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity might be more competently installing language-support-* now, but that's about it | 17:23 |
| * cody-somerville shall research more. | 17:24 | |
| slangasek | "apt-get install language-support-ca" gives me openoffice.org-l10n-ca openoffice.org-l10n-common, nothing else | 17:26 |
| ogra | language-support-de Depends: gimp-help-de, openoffice.org-help-de, openoffice.org-l10n-de, thunderbird-locale-de | 17:26 |
| slangasek | ah, de pulls in quite a bit more, yes | 17:26 |
| slangasek | though still only -common and -core, which seems to exclude the apps themselves | 17:27 |
| ogra | openoffice.org-help-de Depends: openoffice.org-l10n-de, openoffice.org-writer | language-support-translations-de | 17:27 |
| ogra | hmm | 17:27 |
| ogra | the last one should probably be the other way round | 17:27 |
| slangasek | ogra: no, it's right | 17:28 |
| slangasek | it reads as "install openoffice.org-writer as a dependency, unless installed as part of language-support-translation-de" | 17:28 |
| ogra | ah, k, thx | 17:28 |
| ogra | indeed language-support-translations-de should be there anyway | 17:29 |
| * calc had thought he fixed that | 17:29 | |
| * calc looks at the bug to see what it is | 17:29 | |
| calc | ah nothing useful in the bug report, /me reads scrollback | 17:30 |
| ogra | calc, all fine | 17:30 |
| ogra | i guess the user saw openoffice.org-l10n-$lang rushing by and screamed | 17:31 |
| cody-somerville | openoffice.org-core, -common, -help-en-gb, -help-en-us, hyphenation,-l10n-common, -l10n-en-gb, -l10n-en-za, -style-human, -thesaurus-en-au, -thesaurus-en-us | 17:31 |
| cody-somerville | so it isn't too bad | 17:32 |
| calc | ooo-help-de shouldn't be installing -core | 17:32 |
| ogra | -core would be wrong ... | 17:32 |

| cjwatson | openoffice.org-common Depends: openoffice.org-core | 17:35 |
| calc | in particular i don't know why -common -core -style-human got installed for him | 17:35 |
| calc | to others are due to language packs | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | hmm, yeah, what's going on there | 17:36 |
| calc | openoffice.org-thesaurus-de is part of openthesaurus which appears to need ubuntu specific changes | 17:36 |
| calc | the other thesaurus packages and they are part of openoffice.org-dictionaries which i did merge | 17:37 |
| calc | er /and/i looked at and/ | 17:37 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I don't see anything in cody-somerville's list that should pull in -common either, if language-support-* are being installed | 17:37 |
| cjwatson | it could be a bug in ubiquity's python-apt-based resolution algorithm, though I rather hope not | 17:37 |
| calc | maybe some bad seed for Xubuntu? | 17:38 |
| cody-somerville | It isn't seeded | 17:38 |
| calc | hmm then its got to be something confused about what it should be installing | 17:38 |
| calc | at least all the depends lines of the above packages look right | 17:38 |

| shane_ | calc: language-support-translations-en, -support-writing-en depend on some OO packages... | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | (don't let me stop you) | 17:47 |
| calc | shane_: yes, it should be installing the l10n related packages, but those shouldn't require the rest of OOo to be installed | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | shane_: we know that, but those packages are supposed to have alternative dependencies on language-support-* to prevent OOo being mandatory) | 17:47 |
| shane_ | ok | 17:48 |
| * calc building a chroot as well | 17:48 | |
| calc | cjwatson: does it need extra special logic to make it not install by default as opposed to allow removal of OOo? | 17:49 |
| cjwatson | calc: don't understand the question? | 17:49 |
| calc | cjwatson: eg for this | 17:50 |
| calc | Depends: openoffice.org-common (>= 1:2.4.0) | language-support-translations-en, openoffice.org-common (<< 1:2.4.0.1) | language-support-translations-en, openoffice.org-l10n-common (>= 1:2.4.0) | 17:50 |
| calc | does it have to do something special to not install openoffice.org-common but instead just leave it with the language-support-translations-en ? | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | that *ought* to be sufficient, given that language-support-translations-en is being installed and should satisfy those alternatives | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | if it isn't, it's my contention that it's an apt bug | 17:50 |
| calc | ah ok | 17:50 |
| ogra | unless the deps are resolved wrongly | 17:50 |
| ogra | heh | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | the way it's supposed to operate (AIUI) is to mark the top-level packages for installation and then, for each broken package, iterate through its dependencies and resolve any that aren't satisfied by trying to install alternatives in turn | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | the fact that language-support-translations-en is already there up the tree ought to stop it doing anything with those items | 17:52 |
| calc | ok | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | but since it involves some somewhat circular logic this might break | 17:52 |
| ogra | cjwatson, i had something similar with the intel tpm server when adding libpg-java to the deps (Depends: java-gcj-compat | java1-runtime | java2-runtime) pulled in gcj stuff all the time even though java2-runtime was installed | 17:53 |
| ogra | dropping the dep didnt want to do that anymore | 17:53 |
| ogra | it sounds somewhat related | 17:54 |
| zoredache | cjwatson: you said that there are alt depends on language-support-?? to preven things from OOo being installed? the language-support-en depends on several openoffice packages | 17:56 |
| calc | zoredache: which ones... you mean the l10n ones that are supposed to be installed? | 17:57 |
| ogra | zoredache, only translation stuff ... | 17:57 |
| calc | zoredache: read scrollback | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | zoredache: drill down to the next level of dependencies and you should see what I mean | 17:57 |
| calc | zoredache: things like openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb are supposed to be installed, those aren't supposed to be pulling in openoffice.org-common though | 17:58 |
| zoredache | that, and I should make sure I am looking at the correct release... | 17:59 |
| ogra | heh | 17:59 |
| * calc will be glad once he has a local mirror, building chroots won't take forever | 17:59 | |
| cjwatson | I reassigned the bug to apt | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | dinnertime | 18:00 |
| _MMA_ | cjwatson: Can this be something we try to sort at UDS? Language support and it's depends, how it's structured? Seems to be a bit of a mess for Xubuntu, Studio and derivatives that would like to lose OO.o/Firefox. | 18:02 |
| calc | _MMA_: appears to be just a bug in apt at this point | 18:03 |
| calc | _MMA_: the potential to lose the openoffice.org-l10n stuff as well more or less depends on apt recommends handling which got dropped for hardy | 18:03 |
| _MMA_ | calc: This case yes. But there are still other issues surrounding how the language support is done. | 18:04 |
| calc | if we installed recommends by default then we could seed the ooo l10n where it is wanted and it would get installed but not on the others since it wouldn't be on their cds | 18:04 |
| calc | which was what i was wanting to do for hardy but apt recommends didn't make it in time | 18:05 |
| calc | otherwise we would probably need language packs on a per derivative basis | 18:05 |
| _MMA_ | Isn't gobuntu still pulling Firefox? | 18:05 |
| shane_ | calc: my 2 cents... isnt the fact that the l10n packages depend on -common the whole prob? why can we just remove this dependency? | 18:06 |
| * calc doesn't know about firefox | 18:06 | |
| calc | i'm OOo maintainer so that is why i know about that bot | 18:06 |
| calc | er bit | 18:06 |
| _MMA_ | That's what I mean about "other issues". | 18:06 |
| ogra | shane_, they dont depend on common thats the prob here :) | 18:07 |
| ogra | shane_, "openoffice.org-common (>= 2.0) | language-support-writing-en" | 18:07 |
| calc | shane_: well it might, but apt shouldn't be installing it at all currently so there is a bug that isn't OOo's fault ;) | 18:07 |
| ogra | thats an "OR" dependency and the latter should already be there | 18:07 |
| calc | shane_: what ogra said above :) | 18:07 |
| ogra | the probem is the dependency resolution, not the dependency | 18:08 |
| calc | the | or breakage is probably causing other problems as well | 18:08 |
| shane_ | ah ok... i getit | 18:08 |
| ogra | right, that smells rather evil | 18:08 |
| _MMA_ | calc: But yes. We (Studio, Xubuntu) were thinking about making an alt language support package that we could seed without unwanted bits. But there still will be other dependencies to work out. Hence me wanting a UDC chat. :) | 18:08 |
| _MMA_ | *UDS | 18:09 |
| ogra | _MMA_, if apt supports recommends that should all be solved easily in intrepid | 18:09 |
| calc | _MMA_: probably would be better to talk to mvo about getting recommends into intrepid then that probably wouldn't be needed | 18:09 |
| calc | _MMA_: we could then demote OOo/firefox/etc into recommends (i think) | 18:09 |
| calc | of course depending on how recommends installation is handled it might not solve it | 18:09 |
| _MMA_ | Right. | 18:10 |
| calc | if we treat recommends as should be installed when you get network access then it wouldn't solve the problem | 18:10 |
| calc | _MMA_: so if a UDS session about recommends pops up you should go to it :) | 18:10 |
| calc | _MMA_: and drag me along | 18:10 |
| _MMA_ | Yep. :) | 18:10 |
| _MMA_ | I still wonder how all the "free-formness" is gonna work. I guess we'll see. | 18:10 |
| calc | free-form? | 18:11 |
| * calc thought the UDS was going to be set more in stone to avoid the meetings getting bumped like last time | 18:12 | |
| calc | caused lots of confusion at UDS Boston | 18:12 |
| _MMA_ | calc: Keybuk mentioned no specs will be marked for Prague. Something like there will be a white board to make the schedule daily. | 18:12 |
| calc | ah ok | 18:13 |
| calc | well as long as it doesn't change in the middle of the day it should be fine | 18:13 |
| calc | or in the middle of a meeting ;) | 18:14 |
| _MMA_ | The rational being the driver pretty much has their mind made up already. Maybe he can jump in and explain better. | 18:14 |
| Keybuk | the UDS will be both | 18:15 |
| Keybuk | the platform, desktop, server, etc. teams (canonical and community) have already drawn up the lists of topics they want to discuss | 18:16 |
| Keybuk | and will schedule those by hand before the event | 18:16 |
| Keybuk | other rooms will be available throughout the event for free-form scheduling | 18:16 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Hm. Do you know where those discussions took place? | 18:16 |
| pwrquest | i'm running hardy preview, and i've run updates. Does this mean i'll have hardy stable when it comes out? Or do i have to download the ISO and install all over again? | 18:18 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: within the teams | 18:18 |
| calc | pwrquest: if you updated in the past couple days it should be the same as hardy final | 18:19 |
| _MMA_ | pwrquest: You're fine. Just update. | 18:19 |
| Keybuk | it's probably worth noting that only two of the teams have returned list of topics so far ;) | 18:19 |
| Keybuk | so if you haven't seen discussion from kernel, server, mobile, etc. that's ok - they haven't actually done it yet | 18:19 |
| pwrquest | calc: thats what i wanted to hear.. thanks. | 18:19 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Ah, a definition of "already drawn up" that I was previously unaware of :) | 18:19 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: I mucked my tenses up | 18:20 |
| Keybuk | "will have already drawn up" | 18:20 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, that's fine | 18:20 |
| Keybuk | I expect we won't get the schedule done until the friday before | 18:20 |

| calc | shane_: rather mdz found it after the rest of us were blind ;-) | 18:44 |
| * calc hugs mdz | 18:44 | |
| shane_ | calc: :) so does that mean it will be fixed to the final release? | 18:45 |
| shane_ | *for | 18:45 |
| ogra | archive is closed | 18:45 |
| shane_ | argh.. | 18:46 |
| cjwatson | shane_: it's a possibility for 8.04.1 | 18:46 |
| cjwatson | since the dependency changes involved appear to be small | 18:46 |
| calc | shane_: archive has been closed for several days, so not for 8.04 but i have marked it as 8.04.1 | 18:46 |
| calc | there are other bugs to fix in OOo for 8.04.1 already found so i can probably stick that one in as well | 18:47 |
| * calc tries to take a nap | 18:48 | |
| shane_ | actually i should have brought up earlier because it was present in gutsy as well... i found it while trying to remaster a cd... when i saw xubuntu hardy came without OOo by default i thought it wud've been fixed | 18:48 |
| laga | what happens to uploads to universe which didn't make it in before the hard freeze happened? | 18:49 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/atomic/ubuntu/ seems to have stopped updating | 18:50 |
| cjwatson | laga: they'll be rejected and will need to be reuploaded to hardy-proposed if appropriate for SRUs | 18:50 |
| laga | ok, thanks | 18:51 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: (I noticed that http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/atomic/ubuntu/s/scim/ doesn't have the most recent three uploads) | 18:51 |
| laga | mdz: just wondering. do you still use mythtv? you used to package it back in 2004/05 | 18:55 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: it has stopped updating | 18:55 |

| Keybuk | mdz: I should hope not; such things need a licence ;) | 18:57 |
| mjg59 | Amaranth: No | 18:59 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: err @ livejournal ... isn't that old news? :p | 19:01 |
| mjg59 | Keybuk: Yeah, but it never got fixed :p | 19:02 |
| Keybuk | mjg59: it's only arguably broken ;) | 19:03 |
| mdz | cjwatson: what does this language-support issue mean for xubuntu 8.04? | 19:03 |
| cjwatson | mdz: it means they get to download a bit more during installation | 19:03 |
| cjwatson | assuming they connected the network | 19:04 |
| cjwatson | I don't think it justifies panic | 19:04 |
| mdz | cjwatson: does it justify delaying until the next oo.o update? | 19:04 |
| mdz | given that xubuntu folks seem to care about gnome libraries getting pulled in, oo.o seems like it might be a concern for them | 19:05 |
| cjwatson | mdz: I think that's cody-somerville's decision to make | 19:09 |
| cjwatson | (or the Xubuntu community's in general) | 19:09 |
| mdz | cody-somerville: ^ | 19:11 |

| Skiessi | a stupid bug, adding some space before the actual address in nautilus address bar causes an error and doesn't say why | 19:54 |
| Skiessi | *bug: | 19:55 |
| Skiessi | too late to fix it? | 19:55 |
| cjwatson | I'm afraid so | 19:55 |
| cjwatson | please ensure that it's filed in Launchpad | 19:55 |
| cjwatson | we have frozen, and built and tested (almost) all images, and will only be accepting changes for absolute showstoppers; at this point they would probably have to be serious enough to delay the release | 19:56 |
| seb128 | that seems a minor issue | 20:00 |
| seb128 | I don't think many users types address in nautilus and those who do probably don't do this mistake often | 20:01 |
| Skiessi | but copying and pasteing stuff can cause problems and unnecessary questions for some people | 20:06 |
| Skiessi | stuff like urls | 20:07 |
| Skiessi | and other addresses | 20:07 |
| seb128 | you don't often copy urls in nautilus since that's a file browser and not an internet one | 20:11 |
| Skiessi | :o that's a bug too, windows has integrated them | 20:12 |
| seb128 | no, that's a design choice, we have a web browser to do that | 20:12 |
| jcastro | I could have sworn I saw that whitespace url bug in upstream gnome bugzilla before | 20:14 |
| jcastro | but I can't seem to find it | 20:14 |
| seb128 | I'm not sure that ever worked and we never got a bug report about it in launchpad, that indicates that the issue doesn't bother so many users | 20:15 |
| ogra | its a trivial fix to remove whitespace from a string before processing it i imagine :) | 20:19 |
| laga | yes, but is it always wanted? :) | 20:20 |
| Keybuk | this seems far too much discussion for such a trivial bug ;-) | 20:20 |

| mdz | cjwatson: the number of language pack/support packages in the DVD livefs makes the last bit of ubiquity's progress bar even more excruciating | 21:42 |
| cjwatson | mdz: I know, it isn't ideal | 21:43 |
| cjwatson | mdz: I hope you aren't expecting me to do anything about it for 8.04, though | 21:43 |
| mdz | cjwatson: not at all | 21:43 |
| mdz | cjwatson: I've just been waiting for a test installation to complete for quite a while | 21:43 |
| mdz | cjwatson: I truly didn't realize just how many additional packages there were | 21:44 |
| mdz | cjwatson: I just saw libgcj-common in there... | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | I'm not entirely sure why libgcj-common would be getting removed | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | you ought to be keeping at least one OOo language pack, surely | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | unless you're installing in a language that doesn't have that | 21:45 |
| mdz | en_GB | 21:45 |
| cjwatson | and even then, why is openoffice.org (the full metapackage) getting pulled in for localisation? | 21:45 |
| mdz | cjwatson: removing libgcj-common on my installed system doesn't disturb language-*-en | 21:46 |
| mdz | or oo.o for that matter | 21:46 |
| cjwatson | openoffice.org-hyphenation-{hr,lt,pl} Depends: openoffice.org | 21:47 |
| cjwatson | -hr and -pl have alternatives for it | 21:47 |
| cjwatson | calc: ^-- | 21:47 |
| cjwatson | calc: it would be worth fixing at least openoffice.org-hyphenation-lt's dependencies in an SRU, I think | 21:47 |
| cjwatson | calc: in fact, I think all three of those could do with | language-support-writing-<language> alternatives | 21:49 |
| slytherin | What is the policy for SRU these days. If there is a bug which is cause obex transfer problem from Symbian based phones to PC and it might be fixed by a merge with Debian package, is it likely to get in SRU? | 21:49 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 21:49 |
| mdz | slytherin: it is, as always, a risk/benefit judgement | 21:50 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: one thing that can fairly easily be said is that "might" isn't good enough; it needs a high degree of developer confidencec | 21:50 |
| cjwatson | -c | 21:50 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: The thing is that people have said they tried debian package and it fixed the bug. I myself don't have symbian based phone. All I can do is provide a merged package so that enough testing can be done before even proposing it for SRU. | 21:51 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: unless that's the only thing that the Debian package changes, a backport is significantly preferable to a merge | 21:52 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: Debian package is a new upstream release (3.30 against Ubuntu's 3.26). So a backport would not be possible. At least from my point of view, since I have no idea how and what all have changed. | 21:54 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: somebody definitely has to figure out what the change that fixes the bug was | 21:54 |
| cjwatson | we aren't likely to accept a wholesale merge like that for an SRU | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | there have been exceptions, but they're few and far between | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: if you can't, I suggest asking upstream for help | 21:55 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: Then I am not the man for that job. I will try to get Tollef's view on this. | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: my openoffice.org seed changes made powerpc horrifically oversized, fyi | 22:00 |
| cjwatson | I might have to yoink that back out if I have time (ports aren't really getting tested anyway ...) | 22:01 |
| laga | cjwatson: the mythbuntu disk works now. many thanks | 22:01 |
| cjwatson | laga: great! | 22:01 |
| cjwatson | just as well, basically no time to fix it if it had been broken ... | 22:01 |
| laga | yup. i wasted one hour last night before i realized i forgot to 'bzr push' your fix, though. :) | 22:01 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: As of now the powerpc image is at 644M. Why are you saying it got oversized? | 22:06 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: because I'm looking at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily-live/current/ where it's 750M | 22:08 |
| cjwatson | gar, previous image got purged too | 22:08 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: oops, so there is 100 MB difference between alternate and desktop? | 22:09 |
| cjwatson | apparently | 22:11 |
| cjwatson | I haven't dug into the reasons yet; I'm sure there was a bit more space than that before | 22:11 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: but I suspect I'll just revert the change, which is the appropriate response to (even ports) breakage at this point | 22:12 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: yes, you are right. An OOo installed over internet is anyway preferred than overzised images. | 22:13 |
| slangasek | :-) | 22:13 |
| ogra | well, there is 800M media | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | which does mean I have to figure out how to get the publisher to do that without publishing any packages ... | 22:14 |
| ogra | its just harder to get | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | ogra: given that most powerpc hardware is getting old, it's not appropriate to rely on bleeding-edge media for it | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | IMO | 22:15 |
| ogra | bleeding edge ? | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | you think that all powerpc drives will be able to cope with 800MB media? | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | I wouldn't like to make that bet | 22:15 |
| ogra | the pack of 10 800M CDRW i have upstairs is from 2002 or so | 22:15 |

| cjwatson | seb128: explain? | 22:16 |
| ogra | i havent tried my G4 ibook with 800M media ever though | 22:16 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: the temporary user you have after the installation | 22:17 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: it doesn't have write permissions on the Desktop directory | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | I know what the oem user is | 22:17 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: it's owned by root:999 when doing a ls -l | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | you said "doesn't how" - what was that a typo for? | 22:17 |
| seb128 | own | 22:17 |
| seb128 | doh, sorry | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | seb128: that's a bug, I thought I'd fixed that | 22:17 |
| seb128 | s/how/own | 22:18 |
| cjwatson | seb128: installation from alternate or desktop? | 22:18 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: still there on the current i386 image | 22:18 |

| cjwatson | seb128: oem-config-dm does start gnome-settings-daemon | 22:34 |
| cjwatson | or at least try to | 22:34 |
| cjwatson | seb128: 219209 is all languages, I need to spend a bit of quality time with it | 22:35 |
| cjwatson | seb128: help welcome on a way to make it work without starting all of GNOME | 22:36 |
| cjwatson | (I did try using gnome-session at one point, but it was horrifically difficult and I never got it working) | 22:36 |
| cjwatson | maybe starting gnome-settings-daemon before metacity would do it? | 22:37 |
| cjwatson | doesn't seem to be necessary for ubiquity though | 22:38 |
| cjwatson | which has very similar code | 22:38 |
| seb128 | cjwatson: right, g-s-d is running, weird | 22:41 |
| seb128 | and the key seems to be correct | 22:41 |
| seb128 | is there a way to start something else on the same screen than the eom wizard? | 22:41 |
| cjwatson | er, not easily unfortunately | 22:42 |
| cjwatson | actually | 22:42 |
| cjwatson | yeah, you can | 22:42 |
| seb128 | I guess I can modify whatever start the eom command to start something else too? | 22:42 |
| cjwatson | switch to tty2 and log in as oem | 22:42 |
| cjwatson | then sudo DISPLAY=:0 whatever | 22:42 |
| cjwatson | (didn't use to work because oem was deleted, but that's now done later) | 22:43 |
| seb128 | oh | 22:43 |
| seb128 | eom is deleted in fact now but I logged using the user I added and ran eom prepare tools again and rebooted so I've standard user available | 22:45 |
| seb128 | ok, that's a decorator bug you are right, we used to get it in the standard session too but now gnome-session starts the settings daemon before starting the applications | 22:46 |
| cjwatson | so would it work if g-s-d were started before metacity? | 22:47 |
| seb128 | yes, starting g-s-d before would workaround it | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | and how come it works in ubiquity? | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | (or am I mad and it doesn't?) | 22:47 |
| seb128 | the standalone ubiquity mode? | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 22:47 |
| evand | you're not mad, it doesn't show up there | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | race condition? | 22:47 |
| seb128 | dunno, do you start things in the same order? | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | yes | 22:47 |
| seb128 | might be a race yes | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | at any rate g-s-d is definitely started after metacity | 22:48 |
| cjwatson | could be live CD slowness makes us nearly always win the race there | 22:48 |
| seb128 | when the GNOME session was starting everything in an asynchronous mode only some users had the issue | 22:48 |
| TheMuso | I was wondering about that myself when doing the a11y work recently. I thought gnome-session started gsd before the window manager as well. | 22:48 |
| seb128 | TheMuso: gnome-session does that, but they are not using gnome-session there | 22:50 |
| TheMuso | seb128: I know. | 22:50 |
| emgent | welcome HARDY! | 23:07 |
| bryce | ogasawara: can you take a look at #153425? It was filed against xorg but from all the comments it seems to be a linux issue, so I've refiled against linux-source-2.6.24. I don't know if it has all the necessary triaging info. | 23:24 |
| ogasawara | bryce: I'll take a peek, thanks. | 23:26 |
| crimsun | bryce: your comment on bug 191027 needs more info, namely, the output from `pulseaudio -vv' | 23:59 |
