| Keybuk | kees: random thought of the day | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Keybuk | swap-on-RAID1 is insane, right? :p | 01:00 |
| kees | insane? no, it's a good idea. | 01:01 |
| Keybuk | really, why? | 01:01 |
| kees | because if you lose a drive you don't eat your system? | 01:01 |
| Keybuk | doesn't md have a performance penalty though? | 01:01 |
| kees | people using raid1 generally either have a raid1 swap partition or put swap in a file in the raid'd root fs | 01:02 |
| kees | *shrug* | 01:02 |
| kees | if you're swapping that much, who cares? :) | 01:02 |
| Keybuk | lol | 01:02 |
| Keybuk | a fair point | 01:02 |
| kees | what's insane is swap over network block device. but then lots of things are insane about LTSP. ;) | 01:03 |
| Keybuk | I'm being creative | 01:03 |
| Keybuk | I'm setting this machine up so that its 1TB drive is divided into three RAID-1s | 01:03 |
| Keybuk | a 256MB for /boot, a 2GB for swap and the rest for LVM | 01:03 |
| Keybuk | but no second drive ;) | 01:03 |
| kees | for testing, I assume? | 01:03 |
| Keybuk | that and future proofing | 01:04 |
| kees | if you don't intend to ever hibernate, just but your swap in the LVM | 01:04 |
| kees | s/but/put | 01:04 |
| Keybuk | it's a file server, so I might want to put a second disk in later and actually do RAID-1 | 01:04 |
| Keybuk | thus it's most logical to set it up as LVM-on-MD rather than just plain LVM | 01:04 |
| kees | aaah, you're doing a degraded raid1? | 01:04 |
| Keybuk | is it degraded? | 01:04 |
| kees | if you only have 1 drive it is. :P | 01:05 |
| Keybuk | why? | 01:05 |
| kees | uhm... because... there's... no mirror? :P | 01:05 |
| Keybuk | RAID-1 can be anything from 1..n drives | 01:05 |
| Keybuk | it just happens that most people use 2 :p | 01:05 |
| kees | well, I've never tried mdadm --grow -n 2 on a -n 1 array before | 01:06 |
| Keybuk | it works | 01:07 |
| kees | hah -n: Setting a value of 1 is prob‐ | 01:07 |
| kees | ably a mistake and so requires that --force be specified first. | 01:07 |
| kees | cool, yeah, that'll fly. I've never used it myself. | 01:07 |
| Keybuk | I actually saw it on someone else's system | 01:07 |
| kees | anyway, in that case, use 2 MDs, one for boot, one for LVM | 01:08 |
| Keybuk | and though "damn, that's a _good_ default setup" | 01:08 |
| kees | just make swap another lv within the LVM | 01:08 |
| infinity | Keybuk: swap-on-raid is not only sane, but really the only way to go for the magical five-nines. | 01:08 |
| kees | I tend to buy drives in pairs, so I can add/remove protected md arrays as pvs to my VGs | 01:08 |
| Keybuk | kees: why swap-on-LV instead of swap-on-MD ? | 01:09 |
| infinity | Keybuk: If your have non-raid swap, when a drive dies, your kernel panics. | 01:09 |
| kees | Keybuk: because then it's easier to move around | 01:09 |
| Keybuk | kees: but impossible to resume from? | 01:09 |
| Keybuk | (in fact, why is it impossible to hibernate to/from it?) | 01:09 |
| kees | well, you said file-server. | 01:09 |
| kees | I said "if you never hibernate..." earlier somewhere | 01:10 |
| infinity | Keybuk: Impossible to restore from an MD/LV swap because the kernel goes looking for hibernate signatures on swap partitions long before we load any MD/LV drivers. | 01:10 |
| kees | it is possible, but you have to specify the allocation map | 01:10 |
| Keybuk | if we did MD and LVM by default | 01:10 |
| infinity | Keybuk: This isn't an unsurmountable problem. | 01:10 |
| Keybuk | would you do swap-on-MD or swap-on-LV ? | 01:10 |
| Keybuk | infinity: I didn't think the kernel looked at all these days? we resume by hand in initramfs | 01:11 |
| Keybuk | or is it the actual going down bit? | 01:11 |
| infinity | (Likewise, hibernating to a swap file is just as doable, we just... Don't) | 01:11 |
| kees | I would do swap-on-MD to handle the easy suspend/hibernate case. | 01:11 |
| Robot101 | I usually have boot on raid1, then the rest of space on LV on raidN, including swap, but then I don't hibernate such multi-disk servers | 01:11 |
| kees | Robot101: yeah, that's my case for all the desktop machines in my house | 01:11 |
| * kees needs to find a cheap laptop with 2 harddrives. :) | 01:12 | |
| Robot101 | and by boot, I usually just take 10GB for / and anything like /var or /home that gets big goes onto the LV | 01:12 |
| Keybuk | Robot101: you have / rather than /boot ? | 01:13 |
| infinity | Keybuk: Oh, indeed, we do go looking ourselves these days. So it's more a question of load order and such. | 01:13 |
| infinity | Keybuk: No reason we couldn't support resuming from crazy MD/LV setups, as well as from swapfiles read from a readonly root. | 01:13 |
| infinity | Keybuk: Just would take a bit of code and thought. | 01:13 |
| Keybuk | infinity: I'm not entirely sure it would require code anymore :p | 01:13 |
| Keybuk | it might just require a busy loop | 01:14 |
| Keybuk | or, better yet, a rethink of initramfs so that "mountroot" and "resume" aren't totally separate ways to go | 01:14 |
| infinity | Keybuk: At the very least, we need a way for resume= to be slightly smarter than just "a partition identifier". | 01:14 |
| infinity | (For the "suspend to swapfile" option, especially) | 01:15 |
| infinity | And swap files tend to be the more elegant solution for a lot of interesting use-cases. | 01:15 |
| infinity | (No one tell Microsoft I said that, though...) | 01:16 |
| Keybuk | agree | 01:17 |
| Keybuk | but then I'd say the same for root= ;) | 01:17 |
| infinity | Keybuk: Well, given the amount of crazy logic we can stuff in initramfs, I suppose there's no reason root= couldn't be a pointer to a file on $random_filesystem. | 01:20 |
| infinity | Keybuk: Not sure how often I'd use that feature, but if we write the code for resume-from-swapfile, we kinda get root-on-file for free. | 01:20 |
| infinity | (ish) | 01:20 |
| Keybuk | you should be able to say root= some magic string that defines a unionfs of two loop-mounted filesystems on a partition named by uuid | 01:20 |
| Keybuk | then we wouldn't need to special case things like the live cd and wubi | 01:20 |
| infinity | Voobee! | 01:21 |
| infinity | Is it wrong that the only thing I took home from that presentation was the pronounciation? | 01:21 |
| calc | so the platform meeting will be tomorrow at 5pm? | 01:24 |
| calc | er 2200 UTC | 01:24 |
| TheMuso | calc: If there is anything worth discussing. Your question is the first mention of it I've seen outside of what Colin said. | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | I hate d-i | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | "Failed to determine the codename for the release." | 01:25 |
| nxvl | Keybuk: why? | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | W. T. F. | 01:25 |
| nxvl | heh | 01:25 |
| nxvl | sometimes bugs happend | 01:25 |
| calc | TheMuso: ok | 01:25 |
| Keybuk | nxvl: this is the hardy release! | 01:27 |
| nxvl | on a hardy instalation you mean? | 01:27 |
| nxvl | i thought it was on intrepid tests | 01:27 |
| nxvl | :S | 01:27 |
| Keybuk | yeah hardy server i386 | 01:29 |
| Keybuk | it's probably my error | 01:32 |
| Keybuk | in fact, I really can't see why | 01:40 |
| Keybuk | others have reported it | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | and cjwatson told them to follow the docs :-/ | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | which is what I thought I'd done | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | evand: any ideas? | 01:42 |
| * Keybuk cheats | 01:49 | |
| Keybuk | when in doubt, live edit the installer code to work around the issue | 01:49 |
| nxvl | popey: ping | 02:04 |
| Robot101 | Keybuk: yeah I just take 10GB for /. once you split mail, home and service data out of /, the actual amount of space you need for the actual software on a server is very small | 02:05 |
| persia | (unless it's a game server) | 02:06 |
| Robot101 | well, obviously anything you expect to be large you can allocate out of the LVs | 02:07 |
| Robot101 | like make a spacious /srv or something | 02:07 |
| Keybuk | I just have / 1TB so I don't have to worry about it ;) | 02:07 |
| Robot101 | Keybuk: well, this pattern is flexible for varying workloads - hosting VMs whose root FSes are LVs anyway | 02:14 |
| Robot101 | Keybuk: and changing the RAID stuff around, adding more disks etc, growing with LVM is always easier | 02:15 |
| Robot101 | Keybuk: also I like the way I can shuffle the disks, or take any one of them, and boot the system still | 02:15 |

| MachinTrucChose | Hi. Can someone tell me why using Install New Language to install french-language support in Kubuntu downloads the Thunderbird package? Why would a language pack require you to download a mail client? | 03:26 |
| wgrant | Erk, something went wrong in a dependency resolver somewhere. | 03:27 |
| wgrant | language-support-fr pulls in thunderbird-locale-fr, which shouldn't need thunderbird unless language-support-fr isn't installed, which it is about to be. | 03:28 |
| MachinTrucChose | well, it downloaded the full thunderbird-2.0.0.14 etc, took forever too :) | 03:29 |
| MachinTrucChose | I guess the locale had the main program listed as a dependency? | 03:29 |
| wgrant | thunderbird-locale-fr has a 'thunderbird | language-support-fr' dependency. | 03:30 |
| calc | cody-somerville: ping | 03:30 |
| wgrant | So the fact that you're installing language-support-fr should satisfy it. | 03:30 |
| calc | cody-somerville: not sure if you saw my response about the xubuntu OOo bug | 03:30 |
| wgrant | But it apparently decides it needs thunderbird too. | 03:30 |
| cody-somerville | calc, link? | 03:30 |
| MachinTrucChose | I see, thanks for the info | 03:30 |
| calc | i forgot the bug number already | 03:30 |
| calc | you responded to it a few hours ago its the one about openoffice.org-gtk needing to be installed under xubuntu | 03:31 |
| cody-somerville | Yes | 03:31 |
| cody-somerville | That isn't a Xubuntu-meta bug | 03:31 |
| calc | i reassigned it to xubuntu-meta since xubuntu needs to seed that if it wants it | 03:31 |
| calc | its not something wrong with OOo | 03:31 |
| cody-somerville | That isn't the bug | 03:31 |
| calc | oh? | 03:31 |
| cody-somerville | He was installing from add/remove | 03:31 |
| cody-somerville | You should read the bug description not just the bug title ;] | 03:31 |

| * cody-somerville goes back to watching House. :) | 03:32 | |
| calc | ah he manually installed OOo | 03:32 |
| calc | ok its not a bug at all then | 03:32 |
| calc | i just marked it invalid | 03:32 |
| cody-somerville | I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. | 03:33 |
| cody-somerville | You should really mark it as a bug of the add/remove app | 03:33 |
| cody-somerville | and mark it wishlist | 03:33 |
| calc | the add/remove app autoinstalls things you don't request it to, that aren't depends? | 03:34 |
| persia | It doesn't (although it will support Recommends: as well at some point) | 03:35 |
| calc | i was under the impression it was just a slightly prettier package manager that lists per applications folder | 03:35 |
| calc | so it would probably need some kind of ugly hack to support installing packages based on the flavor of *buntu | 03:35 |
| cody-somerville | calc, It wouln't be the flavour of ubuntu | 03:35 |
| cody-somerville | It would be based on the desktop environment | 03:35 |
| calc | true, it is just normally they are linked :) | 03:36 |
| persia | That's even harder to determine than the flavour. | 03:36 |
| cody-somerville | persia, Lets let the add/remove folks figure it out | 03:36 |
| cody-somerville | s/lot/worry | 03:36 |
| cody-somerville | erm | 03:36 |
| * calc thinks the user should just install what they want | 03:36 | |
| cody-somerville | It isn't clear | 03:36 |
| persia | cody-somerville: Erm. I've been looking at that code. | 03:36 |
| cody-somerville | The user shouldn't have to install open office writer and then some other package to make it look integrated. | 03:37 |
| persia | What's the bug number? | 03:37 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 236265 in xubuntu-meta "[hardy] openoffice.org-gtk should be automatically installed in Xubuntu" [Undecided,Invalid] | 03:45 |
| cody-somerville | calc, It is not a bug in xubuntu-meta and not a bug in "xubuntu in general" | 03:45 |
| persia | It's an issue with the data contained in app-install-data. Where that data comes from is different. | 03:46 |
| persia | It's not a bug in xubuntu-meta, as it's not installed by default, so it oughtn't be seeded. | 03:47 |
| persia | It may be a bug in OO.o, but only in the syntax of some of the .desktop files. | 03:47 |
| * cody-somerville nods. | 03:47 | |
| cody-somerville | persia, My thoughts exactly. | 03:47 |
| persia | Also, there likely ought to be a gtk-app-install, for xubuntu, as otherwise the gnome hints will apply. | 03:47 |
| cody-somerville | I filed it against app-install-data-ubuntu since calc keeps removing it from OpenOffice | 03:47 |
| persia | cody-somerville: I'm still looking, but I'm very much leaning towards the problem being a lack of a specialised app-install for Xubuntu, rather than an issue with OO.o. | 03:48 |
| persia | Anyway, without such an app, it's *really* hard for calc to fix it. | 03:48 |
| persia | Ah, no, it's not a bug in OO.o at all. | 03:49 |
| persia | The OO.o install hints are hardcoded in app-install-data, because there are so many ,desktop entries. | 03:49 |
| cody-somerville | ah. | 03:49 |
| persia | So, there are two bugs: the lack of a gtk-app-install, and a minor patch to menu-data-additional in app-install-data once there is such a program. | 03:50 |
| persia | Generating gtk-app-install ought be fairly easy, given gnome-app-install as an example. | 03:50 |
| persia | Once that's in place, opening a bug against app-install-data to provide the right hints ought be fine (or they can be overridden in gtk-app-install, depending on the complexity of each task) | 03:51 |
| persia | Bug 236265 is likely best set WontFix, unless Xubuntu plans to seek openoffice.org-gtk | 03:52 |

| === RadiantFire_ is now known as RadiantFire | ||
| calc | persia: well the other option is to just force people to install everything, but then people complain it takes too much space, etc | 04:57 |
| calc | because if you ask enough people they want all the features in OOo | 04:57 |
| calc | but that is really large and definitely wouldn't fit on an install cd | 04:58 |
| persia | calc: For those people who want OOo, I agree. | 04:58 |
| persia | On the other hand, for mythbuntu or Ubuntu Studio, I'm less sure it makes sense. | 04:58 |
| calc | it shouldn't be getting installed on ubuntu studio at all, there is a bug in the lang packs stuff though | 04:59 |
| persia | I think it's a hard problem, and that it will take a while to find something that works. | 04:59 |
| calc | but for users that want to install it on ubuntu studio they would currently have to know what to install for what they want of it | 04:59 |
| persia | calc: Right, which is the hard problem. app-install-data only provides a single hint, as OOo doesn't expose one cleanly. | 04:59 |
| calc | eg you could install openoffice.org metapackage and it would recommend (depends on the package manager) ooo-kde and ooo-gnome, etc | 05:00 |
| persia | As a result, it's tricky to later install OOo-kde or OOo-gtk, rather than OOo-gnome. | 05:00 |
| calc | is there a way to expose a hint without forcing it to be installed eg a depends? | 05:00 |
| persia | That gets into the parts of Add/Remove I don't know so well :) | 05:00 |
| calc | if so i can modify OOo packaging to give hints, if there is a clear way to do this | 05:00 |
| calc | ok | 05:00 |
| persia | It has to do with special tags in the .desktop files. | 05:00 |
| calc | well to use gtk/gnome/kde integration wouldn't be specific to a desktop file at least aiui | 05:01 |
| persia | You might ask mvo later, if you have time. On the other hand, right now it only really affects Xubuntu, and a hack in gtk-app-install might be good enough. | 05:01 |
| calc | ok | 05:01 |
| persia | calc: Well, it's the .desktop file for the app installer vs. the .desktop file for the application itself. In many cases, these are the same. It may not be possible to have these be the same for OOo. | 05:02 |
| calc | oh ok | 05:03 |
| persia | calc: If you want to dig, compare /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ooo-meta.desktop as an example of such a hint | 05:06 |

| mohbana | hi | 10:39 |
| pitti | tseliot: do you know what DEST_MODULE_LOCATION in dkms.conf is for? it seems to be ignored, and all .kos actually land in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/ ? | 10:40 |
| mohbana | hi i've got a question about fonts in unbutu | 10:41 |
| tseliot | pitti: let me quote the man page "Currently, DKMS searches | 10:45 |
| tseliot | for these original modules with first preference going to modules | 10:45 |
| tseliot | located in /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/updates/ followed by $DEST_MOD‐ | 10:45 |
| tseliot | ULE_LOCATION (as specified in dkms.conf ). If one cannot be found in | 10:45 |
| tseliot | either location, a find will be used to locate one for that kernel. If | 10:45 |
| tseliot | none are found, then during a later uninstall, your kernel will not | 10:45 |
| tseliot | have that module replaced." | 10:45 |
| tseliot | If more than one is found, then the first one located (by preference | 10:46 |
| tseliot | indicated above) will be considered the "original_module". | 10:46 |
| tseliot | pitti: the one in updates is what will be loaded | 10:48 |
| mohbana | anyone here/ | 10:49 |
| pitti | tseliot: ah, so it is not actually the path for the kmod to be installed, but the older kmod to be *replaced* | 10:49 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, exactly. In this way DKMS knows where's the original | 10:50 |
| tseliot | and can make a backup | 10:50 |
| pitti | tseliot: aah; that might explain something; thanks! | 10:50 |
| tseliot | pitt: I know that the fact that it's called "DEST" might suggest that it refers to the destination of the new module ;) | 10:51 |
| pitti | right, that's what confused me; the man page section about this parameter isn't very helpful | 10:52 |
| tseliot | pitti: I'll be your human man page :-P | 10:52 |
| * pitti updates his dkms.conf autogeneration script for that | 10:52 | |
| mohbana | what exactly does ubuntu do to it's fonts to make them look so good? | 10:53 |
| mohbana | i am getting totally ignored | 10:55 |
| mvo | pitti: have you seen #237276 ? I haven't investigated yet what the problem is exactly, I'm curious if you have seen it before? | 10:57 |
| pitti | mvo: I can only guess that it is due to upstart's Pre-Depends: | 10:58 |

| Ademan | hey would i be ill-advised to use xorgconfig.py ? | 11:12 |
| Ademan | /usr/share/python-support/guidance-backends/xorgconfig.py to be specific | 11:14 |
| tseliot | Ademan: it's Guidance. What are you trying to do with it? | 11:15 |
| Ademan | tseliot: not have to write my own code to parse xorg.conf | 11:15 |
| Ademan | what do you mean it's guidance? i see it being used by displayconfig-gtk | 11:15 |
| Riddell | seb128: how many gnome point releases are usually done? | 11:16 |
| tseliot | Ademan: that file is part of Guidance i.e. a backend. I don't think it's maintained any longer. | 11:16 |
| Riddell | Ademan: displayconfig-gtk is a gtk frontend to kde-guidance's displayconfig | 11:17 |
| pitti | Ademan: it's shipped in guidance-backends, and used by other packages as well | 11:17 |
| pitti | Ademan: it works, but the API is not very convenient nor robust | 11:17 |
| Riddell | Ademan: these days you should probably be using xrandr rather than reading xorg.conf | 11:18 |

| pitti | Keybuk: sysvutils to sysvinit-utils | 12:46 |
| Keybuk | pitti: did you get any explanation from Debian why they renamed the package? | 12:51 |
| pitti | Keybuk: they didn't rename it within Debian; it has always been called like this in D | 12:51 |

| pitti | right | 12:52 |
| Keybuk | I never understood why they didn't use our name? | 12:53 |

| pitti | or so | 12:55 |
| pitti | Keybuk: no XS- any more | 12:55 |

| Keybuk | ok, done | 13:03 |
| pitti | Keybuk: cheers | 13:04 |
| Keybuk | hopefully the bzr header should show up now | 13:05 |
| Keybuk | OOI, how do you manage it? | 13:05 |
| Keybuk | do you apt-get source the package, then checkout the debian directory wiping what's there? | 13:05 |
| pitti | Keybuk: just debuild -S it and check the .dsc | 13:05 |
| siretart | FYI, bzr-builddeb 0.95 is able to do this: `bzr bd -S https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/upstart/ubuntu` | 13:06 |
| Keybuk | no, I mean, how do you handle debian-in-bzr ? | 13:06 |
| pitti | Keybuk: usually debcheckout -a, and then unpack the orig.tar.gz, yes | 13:06 |
| Keybuk | ah, and you put debian one-level-down ? | 13:06 |
| pitti | learning bzr-builddeb is a long-standing TODO item of mine... | 13:07 |
| siretart | Keybuk: just add the --merge option. done. | 13:07 |
| pitti | Keybuk: right, I have .bzr/ in the top level dir | 13:07 |
| Keybuk | my current recipe is: | 13:07 |
| Keybuk | apt-get source upstart | 13:07 |
| Keybuk | cd upstart-0.3.9 | 13:07 |
| pitti | Keybuk: erm, s/right,/no/ | 13:07 |
| Keybuk | bzr checkout ~/co/upstart/debian | 13:07 |
| pitti | (common practice on alioth) | 13:07 |
| Keybuk | (for no readily apparent reason, if you checkout, it puts the .bzr into an existing working copy :p) | 13:08 |
| Keybuk | I'd rather just put the whole source in, but bzr doesn't like that much | 13:09 |
| siretart | in what way? | 13:10 |
| Keybuk | siretart: it thinks it doesn't have to care about timestamps | 13:10 |
| Keybuk | first time I tried it, it upset automake | 13:10 |
| siretart | interesting | 13:10 |
| Keybuk | I've proposed that bzr applies the same timestamp to all files modified by any operation | 13:11 |
| Keybuk | ie. after checkout, the entire tree would have the same timestamp | 13:11 |
| Keybuk | and after an update, only the changed files would have a new timestamp (and the same as each other) | 13:11 |
| Keybuk | ?! | 13:14 |
| Keybuk | now dpkg-buildpackage is randomly exiting on me | 13:14 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter_: interesting, on a completely fresh Hardy install, I just ran hp-setup and my printer appears to work | 13:44 |

| sistpoty|work | bryce: can you also make x11-common available in your people dir? (iirc dexconf is in there, at least not in the both .debs that are in your dir) | 13:45 |
| sistpoty|work | bryce: oh, and maybe you shouldn't publish the signed .changes file right next to the source package (that way everyone can upload that to ubuntu proper) | 13:46 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter_: hah! it works right up to the point I try and print from another machine | 13:54 |
| siretart | sistpoty|work: ha, just upload it! :-) | 13:58 |

| * Keybuk considers adding -Werror to package flags | 14:32 | |
| Keybuk | it'd be kinda nice to not even allow the buildds to accept warnings | 14:32 |
| soren | For sufficiently mind-numbing interpretations of "nice", yes. | 14:34 |
| persia | This ought be selectable, as the number of new FTBFS cases in universe may be large | 14:34 |
| * soren thinks "large" is an understatement | 14:35 | |
| soren | Keybuk: You wouldn't happen to have any idea about the scale of the percentage of packages that would ftbfs with -Werror, would you? | 14:36 |
| seb128 | soren: too many | 14:36 |
| soren | I'm guessing at least 90%. | 14:37 |
| seb128 | not that bad | 14:37 |
| persia | Well, maybe 80%. Lots of code isn't actually C. | 14:37 |
| soren | No? | 14:37 |
| seb128 | rather 10% I would say | 14:37 |
| soren | Because they don't actually have warning, or because they'd override -Werror? | 14:37 |
| seb128 | but maybe I'm biaised and GNOME is much better than the rest of the world ;-) | 14:37 |
| persia | That's still 1500 packages that need fixing: about the total size of maintained universe. | 14:37 |
| * ogra is on the 10% side | 14:38 | |
| Keybuk | soren: I was just thinking of doing it for one package | 14:38 |
| seb128 | soren: because they don't have warnings, I think many GNOME component have -Werror set when building from svn, they just turn it off for tarballs | 14:38 |
| soren | Keybuk: Oh. :) | 14:39 |
| persia | One package is a good idea :) | 14:39 |
| persia | (Maybe even 10 or so) | 14:39 |
| soren | seb128: I just picked two completely random gnome packages. Both have warnings (gnome-panel and libgnomeui). | 14:40 |

| pitti | Keybuk: right; no ConsoleKit schema on servers, etc. | 15:40 |
| Keybuk | nor user policy agent to actually do the mounting? | 15:40 |
| pitti | I'm not sure about how automounting semantics should be on a server TBH | 15:41 |
| pitti | or whether it's generally desired on a server in the first place | 15:41 |
| Keybuk | me neither | 15:41 |
| Keybuk | it's desired in some cases | 15:41 |
| Keybuk | e.g. media server | 15:41 |
| pitti | should it be read/writable for everyone? just for root? | 15:41 |
| soren | Keybuk: In that case the "media" part of it should manage it. Like mythtv or whatever. | 15:41 |
| Keybuk | soren: but there's no common component for them to depend on | 15:42 |
| Keybuk | the "media" bit shouldn't NIH the same bit as "desktop" or "storage", etc. | 15:42 |

| ogra | soren, needs a mounter binary | 15:43 |
| Keybuk | soren: I'm not sure I recall how it's split between HAL, gnome-mount, Nautilus and gnome-volume-manager | 15:43 |
| ogra | soren, in case of the desktop its gnome-mount ... for server you need something else which doesnt exist | 15:43 |
| pitti | soren: hal can do the mounting, etc, and knows when devices appear | 15:44 |
| soren | Hm... I guess that for "real" filesystems (ones with uid's and stuff) they could just get mounted. There's no ownership settings to worry about since they're specified by the file system. | 15:44 |
| pitti | soren: but you need something to "connect" the "new device" and "plz mount it for me with those options" | 15:44 |
| pitti | soren: unix fses> right | 15:44 |
| Keybuk | really? see I'd say unix fses are the bad ones because you can't squash the permissions | 15:45 |
| Mithrandir | soren: though, that requires you to have the same UIDs around the place. | 15:46 |
| soren | Mithrandir: Sure. | 15:46 |
| soren | Mithrandir: The point is that there's nothing you can (currently) do about that anyway. You either mount it or don't. | 15:46 |
| soren | There's no need to decide who gets to own it, what the permissions should be, etc. | 15:46 |
| norsetto | seb128: ok, got the problem, pbuilder update is failing because of sysvutils | 15:47 |
| soren | I think I still have a patch somewhere against linux 2.4 that actually adds some kind of squashing capabilities here. | 15:47 |
| Mithrandir | Keybuk: squashing is easy-peasy, just use fuse to mount it. | 15:47 |
| pitti | Keybuk: which is pretty much what I want if I use my home server which just has an USB hard disk :) | 15:47 |
| seb128 | norsetto: ah, that explains | 15:47 |
| Mithrandir | soren: sounds easy enough to do. | 15:48 |
| soren | You could provide a mappings file to mount that would translate UID's and GID's in the vfs layer. | 15:48 |

| asac | \sh: ask him. we update on each and every upstream security release | 15:59 |
| asac | current version should be 2.0.0.14 if i am not mistaken | 15:59 |
| asac | thanks | 15:59 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, what is your printer problem? I have seen something which you told about your printer. | 15:59 |
| asac | \sh: ok added firefox-3.0 target as fixcommitted and kept firefox target at confirmed for now. usually i would put it back to incomplete when asking to test latest :) | 16:00 |
| asac | doing that now ;) | 16:01 |
| \sh | asac, well, people don't use -proposed in production environments ;) they are not as crazy as I am ;) | 16:01 |
| asac | \sh: yeah. thats why its fixcommitted not released | 16:01 |
| \sh | asac, I wonder if someone fixed it in rc1 if there is somewhere a upstream bug report... | 16:02 |
| asac | \sh: most likely | 16:04 |
| asac | we have hundreds of crashers. maybe there are even dupes in LP that have the right upstream bug | 16:04 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: HP LJ 1018 barely working | 16:05 |
| \sh | just found an old one from 2004 in bugz*.mz.o ;) | 16:05 |
| Keybuk | nine times out of ten, it just doesn't print | 16:05 |
| Keybuk | with the error that the printer isn't connectde | 16:05 |
| asac | \sh: launchpad search for "crash print" that are either open or fixed upstream yielded bug 217032 | 16:05 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 217032 in firefox-3.0 "firefox crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall() when I was printing" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/217032 | 16:05 |
| asac | \sh: that one is fixed upstream, so maybe a good dupe for this ;) | 16:06 |
| \sh | asac, na still open ;) | 16:06 |
| \sh | and marked as crit ;) | 16:06 |
| asac | \sh: he? | 16:06 |
| asac | its fixed upstream | 16:06 |
| asac | mozilla bug 429071 | 16:07 |
| ubottu | Mozilla bug 429071 in GFX: Thebes "firefox crashed [@ snprintf - _cairo_output_stream_vprintf][@ _cairo_surface_set_clip_path_recursive] when I was printing to file" [Critical,Resolved: fixed] http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429071 | 16:07 |
| calc | pitti: writing the bug report now, i had forgotten to do it when i got back from vacation | 16:07 |
| soren | pitti: Ok, in the media server case... What would be the minimal e.g. mythtv would have to do to make it so that USB storage is automagically mounted and owned by it? | 16:07 |
| calc | pitti: i think i have it targeted properly | 16:08 |
| pitti | calc: could you upload a new diff.gz/dsc with the bugs referenced? | 16:08 |
| pitti | calc: thanks | 16:08 |
| asac | \sh: mozilla bug 429678 is similar. but both appear to be fixed in cairo. not sure if that is our bug | 16:08 |
| ubottu | Mozilla bug 429678 in GFX: Thebes "Crash [@ _cairo_surface_set_clip_path_recursive] with failed printing of outset border with transparency" [Critical,Resolved: fixed] http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429678 | 16:08 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, you are aware of the needed firmware? | 16:08 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: yes | 16:08 |
| pitti | soren: issue the dbus call to hal | 16:08 |
| Keybuk | this time round, I've just run "hp-setup" to set it up, and that downloaded things | 16:08 |
| calc | pitti: its a "Update OpenOffice.org to 2.4.1" bug | 16:08 |
| tkamppeter | Setting it up with hp-setup loads the firmware from the internet | 16:08 |
| calc | pitti: we are at rc1 already in proposed | 16:09 |
| pitti | calc: oh, I see; it doesn't actually address existing ones in LP? | 16:09 |
| pitti | calc: ok; we just need to have a bug to track it then | 16:09 |
| soren | pitti: In that case, it doesn't seem at all unreasonable to require the media server solution to handle this, does it? | 16:09 |
| calc | pitti: it probably does, but i would have to verify which bugs it fixes, not sure if LP has bugs for all of the bugs it fixes though | 16:09 |
| calc | pitti: i made a master bug that i will be documenting what all it fixes and reference the bugs it fixes that are already in LP from it | 16:09 |
| pitti | soren: I'm not entirely sure; what happens if two processes want to mount it? | 16:10 |
| tkamppeter | Setting it up with s-c-p does not install the firmware, but should work if something else has set up the firmware before. | 16:10 |
| soren | pitti: You tell me :) | 16:10 |
| \sh | asac, hmmm...we use selfmade cairo right? so I didn't updated cairo | 16:10 |
| calc | pitti: when i uploaded the first couple to proposed i was behind on bugmail so some of the bugs it fixes have already been fixed in older (2.4.1) uploads that weren't referenced in the changelog at the time | 16:10 |
| pitti | soren: well, they would race against each other | 16:10 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: the problem is that it gets detected fine, seems to work | 16:11 |
| Keybuk | probably even get a test page or two out of it | 16:11 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, when you turn the printer on you see whether it loads the firmware or not, by the blinking orange lights. | 16:11 |
| Keybuk | then why you try and print something useful, like a web page, nothing happens | 16:11 |
| \sh | asac, for hardy I just installed the firefox-3.0 packages + xulrunner-1.9 update... | 16:11 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: solid green light | 16:11 |
| soren | pitti: I guess this is something the hal people must have thought about? | 16:11 |
| asac | \sh: ok makes sense. the trace doesnt look cairo related anyway | 16:11 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, yes after the turn-on procedure it goes to solid green light. | 16:12 |
| pitti | soren: well, it's not a technical problem really | 16:12 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: so the firmware bit must be working ok | 16:12 |
| \sh | asac, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263229 <- reported 2004 , last mod: 2007 ;) | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Mozilla bug 263229 in Layout "Mozilla locks up / crashes when printing via postscript/default OR xprint Senator Edwards web page" [Critical,New] | 16:12 |
| soren | pitti: Depends on how you look at it. HAL could have had a locking mechanism of some kind that would offer the mount point to a list of subscribers in a specific order. | 16:14 |
| pitti | Keybuk: can you please propose https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/consolidate-spell-checkers and maybe update the people? I can't propose that one as a goal (I wonder why) | 16:14 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, for your printer are two drivers available, foo2zjs and hpijs, the latter only if you have set up the printer with hp-setup once (due to a closed-source plug-in, downloaded together with the firmware). | 16:14 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, have you tried both drivers? | 16:14 |
| pitti | soren: on the desktop this is solved by having a central mount agent and only allowing mounts to the foreground console | 16:14 |
| Keybuk | pitti: you should be able to propose now | 16:14 |
| pitti | but that concept doesn't work well for servers | 16:15 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: I did try both yeah | 16:15 |
| Keybuk | same problem | 16:15 |
| pitti | Keybuk: right, works now; thanks | 16:15 |
| soren | pitti: What if a another mount-agent came along? | 16:15 |
| Keybuk | it feels like whatever makes the job gets it wrong somehow, in a way that the printer doesn't accept | 16:15 |
| soren | pitti: Or could there be only one? | 16:15 |
| Keybuk | if I fiddle with random things like shrinking the print by 50%, it works | 16:15 |
| pitti | soren: in principle there can be several, but it wouldn't make sense to have more than one | 16:15 |
| \sh | oh wow...who said that 16M memory for php5 is enough ? :) | 16:16 |
| Keybuk | printing two pages to a side also seems to usually work | 16:16 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, can it be that the USB is perhaps not stable? | 16:16 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: "the USB" ? | 16:16 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, I mean that perhaps something needs to be done on the kernel? | 16:16 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: don't both things just use libusb? | 16:17 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, even with libusb it goes through the kernel AFAIK | 16:17 |
| pitti | seb128: please let me know if you disagree with https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/consolidate-spell-checkers (just assigned to you, since it boils down to sponsoring changes in GNOME packages) | 16:17 |
| pitti | seb128: I can do it as well if you prefer | 16:17 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: only barely | 16:17 |
| asac | \sh: is the testcase fixed in that bug? :) | 16:18 |
| Keybuk | if things were wrong enough that they broke libusb, most USB things wouldn't work | 16:18 |
| soren | pitti: Right, ok. | 16:18 |
| seb128 | pitti: works for me | 16:18 |
| Keybuk | since libusb is basically a pass-through out of the port | 16:18 |
| === Shely is now known as iCopter | ||
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, you can also try two CUPS backends, the "hp" one of HPLIP, which is based on libusb and the "usb" backend from CUPS which is based on the "usblp" kernel module. | 16:19 |
| ogra | Keybuk, you have a LJ 1018 ? | 16:19 |
| ogra | i have te same around, working just fine | 16:19 |
| ogra | *the | 16:20 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: the USB one with foo2zjs was basically working | 16:20 |
| tkamppeter | ogra, you have one, too? How well does it work for you? | 16:20 |
| \sh | asac, you mean this mozlogo on the page? when I click on attachment? well, print preview and print do work in rc1 but gives me two pages in the end ;) | 16:20 |
| Keybuk | ogra: on hardy, set up automatically or by hp-setup ? | 16:20 |
| ogra | tkamppeter, i only prited about five times with it but it worked flawless out of the box | 16:20 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: I have a vague recollection I had to downgrade foo2zjs to gutsy's version | 16:20 |
| ogra | it installed itself after plugging in | 16:20 |
| \sh | zul, slangasek : can we discuss to inc the mem limit in php.ini for php5-apache2 module from 16 to something like 16*2? | 16:20 |
| ogra | i havent changed anything manually | 16:21 |
| ogra | Keybuk, auto ... | 16:21 |
| pitti | mvo: if the two-dimensional package groups turn out not to work, do you see any chance to have something like an apt hook for marking additional packages for installation, based on the currently installed and available ones? | 16:21 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, if you have to downgrade foo2zjs to the Gutsy version, it smells like a bug in foo2zjs. | 16:22 |
| Keybuk | ogra: mine usually prints the first page or two after being turned on, then stops | 16:22 |
| ogra | hmm, i havent printed books yet but the two three page prints i did this year all worked | 16:23 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: that downgrade doesn't help with the hpijs method though | 16:23 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: that simply doesn't work for me ;-/ | 16:23 |
| Keybuk | the only other piece of interestingness is that this is on amd64 | 16:23 |
| Keybuk | I might just try this on my i386 hardy box and see if it works | 16:23 |
| Keybuk | ogra: are you on i386 or amd64? | 16:25 |
| ogra | i386 | 16:25 |
| ogra | (my laptop) | 16:25 |
| Keybuk | interesting | 16:26 |
| Keybuk | because on my laptop, this is still working on i386 | 16:26 |
| ogra | hmm | 16:27 |
| Keybuk | tkamppeter: ever heard of amd64-only bugs? | 16:27 |
| \sh | Keybuk, HP LJ 1020 USB works like a charm on gutsy+hardy amd64 with cups | 16:29 |
| \sh | Keybuk, even with sharing it with a windows os | 16:29 |
| mohbana | what exactly does ubuntu do to it's fonts to make them look so good? | 16:32 |
| Keybuk | mohbana: ? | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | mohbana: depends which settings you use | 16:38 |
| Keybuk | (which reminds me to change the subpixel defaults <g>) | 16:38 |
| mario_limonciell | kees, yeah there are two diffs on the bug. one of them is an SRU for hardy (i already subscribed ubuntu-sru and that diff is to hardy proposed). the other one is a lot more intrusive and is intended for intrepid | 16:40 |
| mohbana | Keybuk: i am talking about the freetype settings, it's using something other than subpixel | 16:40 |
| mohbana | i've tried enabling that in fedora but it still doesn't look like ubuntu | 16:41 |
| jdstrand | pitti: hi! | 16:41 |
| Keybuk | mohbana: right, I mean are you comparing with fonts set at "Best Shapes", "Best Contrast" or "Subpixel smoothing" ? | 16:41 |
| mohbana | Keybuk: i just want to know the exact details of what ubuntu does to it's fonts | 16:41 |
| jdstrand | pitti: sorry about the same version thing with ufw-- I thought this was allowed because of the new *-blacklist having the same versions. Of course, these were pocket copied. I'll know for next time | 16:42 |
| jdstrand | s/these/those/ | 16:42 |
| Keybuk | mohbana: it depends a lot on which option you select, that's all ;p | 16:43 |
| Keybuk | mohbana: in simple terms, we turn on all the patented stuff and apply patches to do LCD filtering when subpixel rendering | 16:43 |
| LaserJock | pitti: could you remove the smstools upload in hardy-proposed? there's another SRU and I'd prefer to have everything in one upload | 16:44 |
| mohbana | Keybuk: what patches please | 16:44 |
| Keybuk | mohbana: http://david.freetype.org/lcd/ | 16:46 |
| Keybuk | but read http://david.freetype.org/cleartype-patents.html first | 16:46 |
| mohbana | wow them patches are really old! does ubuntu still use them? | 16:50 |
| Keybuk | mohbana: a better question would be "wow them patches are really old! why haven't upstream applied them?" | 16:50 |
| Keybuk | :p | 16:50 |

| kees | heheh | 16:54 |
| kees | I assume either a) some .o wasn't compiled with -fPIE, or b) the final link lacked -pie | 16:54 |
| kees | (the final link -pie tells the compiler which crt to link in) | 16:54 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 16:55 |
| Keybuk | libtool called it with -pie | 16:55 |
| Keybuk | but that got eaten | 16:55 |
| kees | however... you're making a shared object here. | 16:55 |
| Keybuk | does it need to be -Wl,-pie ? | 16:55 |
| kees | no | 16:55 |
| kees | PIE is a PITA. :) | 16:55 |
| Keybuk | ? | 16:55 |
| kees | (Pain In The reAr) | 16:56 |
| kees | so, hm, if you're making a shared object, those need to all be -fPIC | 16:56 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 16:57 |
| kees | i.e. things going into a .so need -fPIC, things going into an executable need -fPIE (and a -pie at the end) | 16:57 |
| Keybuk | I don't really want the shared object | 16:57 |
| Keybuk | I just want the static one | 16:57 |
| kees | and PIC > PIE, so you can link -pie against PIC or PIE objects. | 16:57 |
| Keybuk | why does it work here and not on the buildds? | 16:58 |
| kees | uhm.... that's a good question. | 16:58 |
| kees | I hadn't really noted that issue until just now. *head scratch* | 16:59 |
| kees | it's the same toolchain isn't it? | 16:59 |
| Keybuk | intrepid vs. hardy maybe? | 16:59 |
| kees | you're doing compiles in an intrepid chroot, yes? | 17:00 |
| Keybuk | no | 17:00 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 17:00 |
| kees | :P | 17:00 |
| Keybuk | actually, I think I compiled this on i386 | 17:00 |
| Keybuk | where it apparently works fine | 17:01 |
| Keybuk | if I do it on amd64, even on hardy, it fails | 17:01 |
| * kees scratches his head even more | 17:02 | |
| kees | well, clearly one issue is the -fPIE of a shared object. those should be -fPIC. | 17:02 |
| Keybuk | I don't understand why the -static is getting lost | 17:03 |
| Keybuk | hah, I bet setting LDFLAGS is overriding it | 17:03 |

| Awsoonn | hi all~ I'm new to Ubuntu development, working on potentialy fixing a bug in rhythmbox that ... bugs me | 17:06 |
| Awsoonn | how can i find out if there are any patches applied to the ubuntu version of rhythmbox that are not applied to upstream? | 17:07 |
| ogra | read the changelog, patches are listed in the upstream merges usually ... and you can grab the source package and look in debian/patches/ | 17:08 |
| stgraber | Awsoonn: apt-get source rhythmbox, then look at the debian directory and see if there is a patches/ subdirectory | 17:08 |
| seb128 | Awsoonn: there is only a patch to build using xulrunner1.9, a launchpad intregration change and an update to the radios list to use ogg | 17:09 |
| iwkse | hi all, is this a good place for usplash questions? | 17:10 |
| Keybuk | seb128: applied a trivial one-line patch to gnome-contol-center | 17:10 |
| Keybuk | expect bugs from frothing-at-the-mouth loonies | 17:10 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: you are messing with fonts settings again, aren't you? ;-) | 17:10 |
| ogra | a one line patch with half a novel in the changelog :) | 17:10 |
| Keybuk | seb128: I've made the change I agreed to wait until the start of a non-LTS release cycle to make ;) | 17:11 |
| Awsoonn | alright, if I want to fix something, generally speaking, should I work on the upstream truck, or the source I get from apt-get? | 17:11 |
| seb128 | ah ah | 17:11 |
| seb128 | Awsoonn: upstream is better but there is not a lot of difference currently | 17:11 |
| Keybuk | seb128: it passed the njpatel test a few weeks ago | 17:11 |
| Keybuk | "Wait! What are you doing! Leave my font settings alone! It took me ages to get those ri....ooh, that's much better!" | 17:11 |
| njpatel | Keybuk: :-) | 17:12 |
| njpatel | Keybuk: you changed my life | 17:12 |
| seb128 | Keybuk: btw, congrats, you just won the right the merge gnome-control-center now that you touched it ;-) | 17:12 |
| seb128 | s/the merge/to merge | 17:12 |
| ogra | hehe | 17:12 |
| * seb128 runs | 17:12 | |
| Keybuk | seb128: no problem, I'll just delegate it to one my team | 17:12 |
| Keybuk | seb128: could you merge gnome-control-center, kthxbye | 17:13 |
| Keybuk | :p | 17:13 |

| === effie is now known as effie_jayx | ||
| Awsoonn | just curious, what do you guys use pro hackers use for a programing environment? | 17:18 |
| geser | $EDITOR | 17:18 |
| Awsoonn | like, Vim/grep, or eclipse, Kdevelop, etc | 17:18 |
| Keybuk | emacs | 17:18 |
| ogra | vim | 17:18 |
| Keybuk | though I will gladly bear the first-born of anyone who writes a decent GTK+ IDE | 17:18 |
| soren | Awsoonn: vim | 17:19 |
| Awsoonn | what do you think of eclipse and Kdevelop and such IDEs? | 17:19 |
| Keybuk | Awsoonn: Depends: java, pain ... Depends: kde, pain | 17:20 |
| ogra | Keybuk, nothing for emacs fans, but i found pida quite intresting for pygtk development in the past | 17:21 |
| ogra | (it embeds glade and vim) | 17:21 |
| seb128 | an d gedit rocks ;-) | 17:21 |
| ogra | not sure its still under development though | 17:21 |
| seb128 | and gedit rocks ;-) | 17:21 |
| ogra | it misses the vim mode yet :) | 17:21 |
| Keybuk | seb128: gedit, with an integrated debugger and source analyser is starting to be along the right lines | 17:22 |
| Keybuk | I don't know why, but Anjuta should be perfect | 17:23 |
| Keybuk | yet it's so far off the mark | 17:23 |
| ogra | oh, pida added an emacs mode :) | 17:23 |
| ogra | but doesnt work :/ | 17:24 |
| persia | Keybuk: gedit + Nemiver goes a long way towards that | 17:25 |
| LaserJock | zul: ping | 17:30 |
| zul | LaserJock: hi! | 17:31 |
| Keybuk | though I must admit, saying that, that anjuta 2.4 is a rather nice step in the right direction | 17:36 |
| Keybuk | I might try using that for a bit and see how long it takes me to want to kill people | 17:36 |
| === effie is now known as effie-jayx | ||

| Keybuk | a bit longre | 17:45 |
| ogra | more options to configure before you can use it ? | 17:46 |
| pitti | Keybuk: does anjuta have gvim intregration? :-) | 17:55 |
| pitti | (seriously, I got so addicted to the "handle complex objects" commands in vim that it would take a lot to convince me to abandon it again) | 17:56 |

| Keybuk | it doesn't have C-x 4 a | 18:20 |

| pitti | what does it do? | 18:20 |
| pitti | eliza? | 18:20 |

| * pitti doesn't write upstream changelogs; bzr log -v --log-format 'gnu' > ChangeLog FTW! | 18:23 | |
| Keybuk | I do the exact opposite | 18:24 |
| Keybuk | I have a bzr-commit shell script that puts the new ChangeLog entries into the commit log | 18:24 |
| Keybuk | (it occurs to me that it's possible to do that as a plugin to bzr commit) | 18:24 |
| seb128 | pitti: ah, right, 'gnu' which is a non standard thing, I still remember it from the time I tried to do a jockey rebuild upload ;-) | 18:26 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I do that for debian/changelog (debcommit) | 18:26 |
| pitti | yay me for consistency :) | 18:27 |
| pitti | but with the current tools, those are the easiest, I think | 18:27 |
| ogra | how do you get --log-format 'gnu' working ? | 18:27 |
| ogra | my bzr only knows long, line and short as options | 18:27 |
| seb128 | probably by installing something you find on the way | 18:27 |
| Keybuk | ogra: there's a plugin | 18:27 |

| blueyed | Why does virtualbox-ose-modules does not show up in the NEW queue at https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+queue? (I've received an ACK 16 minutes ago). And, once if should show up, can an archive admin approve it please (version 24.0.3)? | 19:16 |
| blueyed | well.. "waiting for approval" should land in NEW, shouldn't it? | 19:18 |
| persia | blueyed: "waiting for approval" is in unapproved. It goes to NEW once it gets approved (archive admins have to press two buttons) | 19:19 |
| persia | blueyed: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text= | 19:20 |
| slangasek | blueyed: what's the difference between 24.0.2 and 24.0.3? | 19:20 |
| blueyed | persia: thanks, must be blind.. anyway, please approve. | 19:20 |
| blueyed | slangasek: I've messed up the changelog in .2 | 19:20 |
| * persia is very much not an archive admin | 19:21 | |
| blueyed | (build the new module from the intrepid source package) | 19:21 |
| blueyed | persia: I know.. wasn't meant to be in the same line/to you. | 19:21 |
| slangasek | blueyed: mm, well, you don't have to increment the version number in that case when it's a -proposed upload, you can just ask the archive admin to remove the broken package from the unapproved queue | 19:23 |
| blueyed | slangasek: ah, good to know. thanks. but it should be ok now as .3, isn't it? | 19:24 |
| slangasek | blueyed: ... and -proposed has -19 now instead of -18; you may want to jump over -18 here and just get a version for -19 pushed into -updates at the same time | 19:24 |
| slangasek | yes, .3 is ok otherwise | 19:25 |
| slangasek | and if you think it's important to get a fixed modules package for -18 in, I can approve it as-is | 19:25 |
| blueyed | slangasek: yes, it's important. a hell lot of users are complaining.. :/ I'll upload .4 for -19 then, too, yes? | 19:26 |
| ogra | seb128, do you have any idea if there are python-wnck bindings anywhere out in the world ? | 19:26 |
| * ogra cant imagine they dont exists | 19:26 | |
| slangasek | blueyed: you can only have one version in -proposed at a time | 19:26 |
| seb128 | ogra: python-gnome2-desktop has those | 19:26 |
| ogra | oh | 19:26 |
| ogra | i was looking for python-wnck :) | 19:26 |
| ogra | sill yme | 19:26 |
| blueyed | slangasek: well.. please go with -18 and hopefully it gets approved shortly. | 19:28 |
| slangasek | blueyed: this does mean that pushing in a -18 version right now may make a fixed -19 version later due to the timeline; but .0.3 is accepted now | 19:30 |
| emgent | someone have 05ca:1803 Ricoh Co., Ltd webcam ? | 19:31 |
| blueyed | slangasek: I suppose virtualbox-ose-modules gets copied then to -security and -updates? So that it makes sense to have a version for -18, if somebody is only using -security, but not -updates, correct? | 19:54 |
| shonen | does anyone know the minimum libpcap version is for usb capture support? | 19:59 |
| shonen | never mind, I found it | 20:00 |
| slangasek | blueyed: mm, I don't know about copying it to -security; I don't know if that works in practice | 20:18 |
| slangasek | blueyed: normally the packages come in the other direction, and I believe we do have provisions for universe packages published as security updates even though they're not part of Canonical's security support | 20:22 |
| kees | is there a kernel module we need to push through -security? | 20:23 |
| kees | we've done this in the past for things like the external apache worker, etc | 20:24 |
| slangasek | kees: virtualbox-ose-modules, which has been uploaded to -proposed | 20:26 |
| fyrestrtr | hello -- does the 32bit hardy default kernel not have highmem support? | 20:27 |
| fyrestrtr | on my 4GB ram laptop usable memory is only 2GB | 20:27 |
| kees | fyrestrtr: you can either install the -server kernel for PAE mode, or you can run the 64bit kernel. | 20:29 |
| kees | slangasek: er, so it needs to go through -security instead? | 20:29 |
| slangasek | well, that would be the ideal | 20:30 |
| fyrestrtr | will the -server kernel affect negatively on proprietary drivers? I have the nvidia driver set installed. | 20:30 |
| fyrestrtr | I tried the 64bit kernel before, but I have run into some compatibility issues with things like oracle and enterprisedb. | 20:31 |
| kees | fyrestrtr: I'm actually not sure about the nvidia bit, I think it's okay. check in #ubuntu-server perhaps? | 20:32 |
| tkamppeter | Keybuk, up to now I did not encounter a 64-bit-only bug, but I can imaging that they exist, when it comes to handling of bits and bytes, which is often done in printer drivers. | 20:33 |
| fyrestrtr | can anyone point me to where I can find out about the differences between the Fedora 9 startup bootsplash and the Ubuntu one? I would like to find a way to integrate the Fedora splash with Ubuntu. | 20:38 |

| pwnguin | but there is text in ubuntu -- if you have a scheduled fsck it displays it | 20:41 |
| pwnguin | along with instructions on how to cancel | 20:41 |
| james_w | fyrestrtr: remove "quiet" from the kernel command line in grub to get the messages back. | 20:43 |
| kees | fyrestrtr: remove "quiet" from your menu.lst | 20:44 |
| pwnguin | i thought that dumped you out of usplash | 20:45 |
| kees | pwnguin: no, that's removing "splash" | 20:45 |
| pwnguin | alrighty | 20:45 |
| pwnguin | fyrestrtr: and if you want that change to stick, make sure you hit the automagic lines in menu.lst too | 20:46 |
| kees | or run "sudo update-grub" | 20:46 |
| pwnguin | will that hit the kernel default options? | 20:47 |
| pwnguin | (for kernel upgrades etc) | 20:47 |

| Awsoonn | hi all, newb here. I want to do some bub work on Rythmbox and am wondering where the best place is to get the source from and best place to post patches? | 20:57 |

| mohbana | sorry back with freetype question | 20:58 |
| mohbana | i just want to know the exact details of what ubuntu does to it's fonts | 20:58 |
| === ompaul is now known as ompaul_ | ||
| _MMA_ | Awsoonn: Maybe upstream? | 21:00 |
| === ompaul_ is now known as ompaul | ||
| Awsoonn | _MMA_: i'm a bit confused really, when would I want to work on the source from apt-get or bzr then? | 21:01 |
| _MMA_ | I would think you would only use bzr if upstream uses it as their vcs. | 21:03 |
| Awsoonn | and what about apt-get source? | 21:03 |
| _MMA_ | I think the only reason to grab it from apt is if you just want to build it yourself. | 21:03 |
| Awsoonn | *Nods* and what might I want to do about patches applied to ubuntu's version and not the upstream version? just make sure the patch works in both places? | 21:04 |
| _MMA_ | Awsoonn: http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/development.html | 21:04 |
| Awsoonn | I'm sorry, I'm just currently working on rhythmbox, I'm trying to figure out how the bigger picture works with ubuntu and upstream with projects in general | 21:06 |
| _MMA_ | Im unsure about any "ubuntu-specific" patches. seb128 might be able to comment. I usually prefer to get things in upstream myself. | 21:06 |
| === Pici` is now known as Pici | ||
| seb128 | _MMA_: usually if you work on changes better to use upstream as a base | 21:07 |
| Awsoonn | I think I'v pestered seb128 more than enough for one day :) | 21:07 |
| seb128 | ups | 21:07 |
| seb128 | Awsoonn:: usually if you work on changes better to use upstream as a base | 21:07 |
| seb128 | you can get the svn or "bzr get lp:rhythmbox" which gives you a bzr import, nicer to work on | 21:07 |
| seb128 | the bzr import is equivalent to current svn | 21:07 |
| seb128 | once you have a patch attach it to bugzilla.gnome.org | 21:08 |
| seb128 | if you think that's an issue worth fixing on ubuntu look on launchpad | 21:08 |
| Awsoonn | awesome, that is exactly the kinda of info I was looking for, Thank you. | 21:08 |
| seb128 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bugs | 21:08 |
| seb128 | if it's not opened there open a new bug | 21:08 |
| seb128 | otherwise use the currently open one | 21:09 |
| seb128 | add a task pointing to the gnome bugzilla bug | 21:09 |
| seb128 | and attach your patch | 21:09 |
| seb128 | you might want to subscribe the ubuntu-main-sponsors team too | 21:09 |
| seb128 | we are usually able to figure how to apply the patch ;-) | 21:09 |
| seb128 | if you want to do all the work you can apply the patch to the current ubuntu package and attach a debdiff (diff between the current package and the updated version you built) but that's not required | 21:10 |
| Awsoonn | i'd like to do it so I know how to at least, have a link? | 21:11 |
| seb128 | Awsoonn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff has a detailled example | 21:13 |
