| superm1 | slangasek, how come the current 8.04.1 dailies aren't including the latest kernel images? | 03:32 |
| superm1 | (I've got some hardware that will only boot on the later kernels) | 03:32 |
| slangasek | superm1: where "dailies" == "live CD", I assume? | 03:43 |
| slangasek | if so, it's because the livecd build scripts regressed since the last dapper point release; should be resolved with tomorrow's dailies, but I'm still waiting for confirmation from the buildd end that everything's sorted | 03:44 |
| persia | Are there 8.10 dailies yet? (with the expectation that they usually fail) | 03:44 |
| slangasek | of a sort; e.g., http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/intrepid/xubuntu/latest/livecd-20080610-i386.out | 03:46 |
| superm1 | slangasek, yeah dailies == live cd. | 03:47 |
| persia | Oh excellent. Thanks! | 03:47 |
| crimsun | TheMuso: yes. | 03:50 |
| TheMuso | crimsun: Did you want it uploaded any time soon, or do you have more to do on it? | 03:50 |
| mneptok | persia: there's no libc, but that shouldn't matter much. | 03:51 |
| crimsun | TheMuso: it's fine as is; I no longer have commit access to that branch anyhow. I'll be making further changes in my own. | 03:51 |
| persia | mneptok: I wasn't looking for something that worked, only something to understand where we were. Now I know. | 03:52 |
| TheMuso | crimsun: Oh right. | 03:52 |
| mneptok | persia: you sound like the Vista release manager | 03:52 |

| persia | mneptok: My possible resemblance to such mythical creatures is one of the many reasons I'm not part of the release team :) | 03:53 |

| xnv | Is there a general trick to fix the issue of the dev files not being installed where other dev files expect them to be. For instance, glib.h is installed to ../glib-2.0/glib.h, but when I source a library that depends on it, it's expecting it in ../glib.h. | 09:06 |
| \sh | xnv: setting correct -I lines ... I though glib worked via pkgconfig...so when you use pkgconfig it should catch the right include dir | 09:15 |
| xnv | \sh: In this case I'm using gsf and virtually all source code I find uses #include <gsf/gsf.h>. However, that's file not found for me. | 09:17 |
| xnv | \sh: Adding -lgsf doesn't fix that | 09:17 |
| \sh | -I <-- I as in INCLUDE ;) | 09:17 |
| \sh | not -l as in library ;) | 09:18 |
| xnv | \sh: Oh, so I need to do -I/usr/include/whatever for every dependency? | 09:18 |
| siretart | xnv: try `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` | 09:20 |
| xnv | siretart: So I have to use all of those? | 09:22 |
| \sh | xnv: libgsf-1-dev installs a /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgsf-1.pc which is used by pkgconfig...so if you use pkgconfig (example was given by siretart) you should always catch the correct include paths, library paths etc. | 09:22 |
| siretart | at least if upstream didn't make a mistake here (which happens from time to time) | 09:23 |
| xnv | OK, it compiles. Thanks guys. I guess I just wasn't expecting my compile command to be longer than the code itself. :-) | 09:23 |
| siretart | xnv: your compile command doesn't need to be longer. just calculate your CFLAGS correctly in the makefile | 09:24 |
| xnv | siretart: Hehe, I know. This was a simple enough test that I didn't bother with the makefile though. :-) | 09:25 |
| xnv | Guess that was a bad idea | 09:25 |
| siretart | "gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs libgsf-1` foo.c " should do it as well. which is rather short as well | 09:26 |
| pitti | Good morning | 09:40 |

| ScottK | Mez: Do you have a bug? I've got intel chipset and have never had that problem. | 13:16 |
| Mez | ScottK, it's somewhere in the bug tracker... only started happening with me yesterday. Replaced machine - same thing again. | 13:17 |

| ScottK | Ah. I'm running Hardy, so no wonder. | 13:17 |
| * Mez is getting the issue in hardy | 13:18 | |
| * ogra has never had that prob and uses various different intel chipsets over here | 13:19 | |
| ScottK | Mez: Exactly which Intel video? | 13:19 |
| ogra | i would blame the broken i810 driver (which shouldnt be used anymore anyway) | 13:19 |
| Mez | Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics controller rev 3 | 13:20 |
| Mez | and it's using /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so | 13:21 |
| broonie | I've got what sounds like the same issue with the 945 on Hardy. | 13:21 |
| broonie | Worked fine with all the releases up until Hardy. | 13:22 |
| ScottK | Hmmm. I've got 945 and don't seem to have it. | 13:22 |
| ScottK | broonie: Which driver are you using? | 13:22 |
| ogra | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 13:22 |
| ogra | same here | 13:22 |
| * Mez sighs | 13:22 | |
| broonie | i810_drv | 13:22 |
| ogra | no probs at all since i installed it | 13:22 |
| Mez | and for some f**ked up reason... I'm not picking up wireless anymore | 13:23 |
| ScottK | broonie: Same here. | 13:23 |
| broonie | This is a Dell D420 laptop. | 13:23 |
| ScottK | Mine is D430 | 13:23 |
| wgrant | One really shouldn't be using i810 nowadays... | 13:23 |
| * Mez is getting annoyed at these issues. I thought it was a hardware issue... so I wen and replaced the laptop. This is worse, and makes ubuntu unusable. | 13:23 | |
| broonie | Mine might be a generic resume problem, but it *looks* like video. | 13:24 |
| ogra | wgrant, there are circumstances where you cant avoid it ... but i generally agree :) | 13:24 |
| ScottK | Of course I see an update to the driver waiting for me in hardy-updates. | 13:24 |
| wgrant | ogra: Like? | 13:24 |
| * ScottK tries it. | 13:24 | |
| ScottK | wgrant: One is that i810 supports xinerama, which, unfortunately, is all that displayconfig supports (so in Kubuntu we are stuck with). | 13:25 |
| ogra | wgrant, like situations where you need a panning mode instead of multiple display support, i810 still uses old xrandr setup instead of the new one where Virtual is interpreted differently | 13:25 |
| wgrant | ScottK: Oh dear. I guess this is where a CLI is useful. | 13:25 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: wfm on hardy, too | 13:25 |
| ScottK | wgrant: Yes. | 13:25 |
| Hobbsee | er, intrepid | 13:25 |
| Hobbsee | same chipset | 13:25 |
| * Mez sighs. Mine is not on a resume.. it's ANY time | 13:26 | |
| wgrant | ogra: I think I heard something about that being on the roadmap for RandR 1.3. Or something like that. | 13:26 |
| ScottK | wgrant: That would take me having a display projector and enough time to make sure it works (e.g. not in the middle of a meeting). | 13:26 |
| wgrant | Or beating various Kubuntu devs with a stick until they write a RandR 1.2 GUI, I guess. | 13:27 |
| ogra | wgrant, wll, last time i touched the issue i was told its mutually exclusive ... you either have multi display or pannong | 13:27 |
| ogra | *panning | 13:27 |
| ScottK | wgrant: We have one for KDE4. | 13:27 |
| wgrant | ScottK: Oh good. | 13:28 |
| ScottK | wgrant: Just getting displayconfig not to catch on fire and burn to the ground on a daily basis was a major accomplishment for Hardy. | 13:28 |
| wgrant | ScottK: Surely it would have been better and easier to port the GNOME tool to KDE? | 13:28 |
| ScottK | wgrant: No. The gnome tool was written with no consideration of providing a different front end. | 13:29 |
| wgrant | ScottK: Ah. Well, I guess that's RandR's job. | 13:30 |
| ScottK | JFTR, it wasn't bryce that did it that way either. | 13:33 |
| * tseliot thinks that RandR GUIs should be written in Python with a backend which could be shared between KDE and GNOME | 13:36 | |
| wgrant | What more backend can be shared than RandR itself? | 13:37 |
| tseliot | wgrant: writing RandR bindings for Python (RandR is written in C) which could then be used in a Python program that should do most of the work for the 2 GUIs | 13:38 |
| ogra | wgrant, a python module that doesnt force you to use exec and system or something similar weird in python sctipts would be a good start :) | 13:38 |
| ogra | ah, tseliot beats me :) | 13:39 |
| wgrant | ogra: There's no RandR lib? | 13:39 |
| ogra | not for python | 13:39 |
| tseliot | ogra: not yet ;) | 13:39 |
| tseliot | I would like to do it myself in the future | 13:39 |
| wgrant | One could always right the frontends in something that isn't Python. | 13:40 |
| ScottK | The KDE4 Xrandr tool is not in Python, if that makes you feel any better. | 13:41 |
| ogra | if you have one generalized backend used by differen frontends it makes maintenance a lot easier | 13:42 |
| ogra | the thing is that python is just convenient for such a setup | 13:42 |
| tseliot | ogra: right | 13:43 |
| mvo | tseliot: do you know about python-xrandr ? this is a ctypes implementation of xrandr in python | 13:51 |
| mvo | tseliot: it only lifes in bzr currently, but its not ideal because xrandr needs a lot of setup code etc | 13:51 |
| tseliot | mvo: sure, the one made by glatzor and you | 13:51 |
| mvo | tseliot: best would be to refactor code in xrandr.c to libxrandr that would hide the nasty bits | 13:52 |
| tseliot | mvo: the problem is that I'm still learning C, therefore I don't know when I'll be able to do this | 13:53 |
| tseliot | mvo: BTW did you have the time to review my xorg parser? | 13:53 |
| mvo | still not :( - but its on my list for this week | 13:54 |

| pitti | that sounds weird | 15:06 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, I can show you the error which I get without that package | 15:07 |
| pitti | please, I'm interested | 15:07 |
| tseliot | pitti: here's the content of my make.log in /var/lib/dkms/173.14.05/build/ : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/19344/ | 15:11 |
| tseliot | pitti: DKMS no longer complains after I install libc6-dev | 15:14 |
| superm1 | tseliot, are you sure it's not just wanting gcc? It does seem odd that libc6-dev is all that it needs? When you install libc6-dev, does it grab dependencies too? | 15:16 |
| tseliot | superm1: gcc is already installed. And no, it doesn't grab any dependency | 15:16 |
| superm1 | then nvidia's build system must be looking for it for some reason or another i suppose | 15:17 |
| superm1 | that's a bit unfortunate | 15:17 |
| tseliot | superm1: one more dependency, I know... | 15:18 |
| tseliot | superm1: the packages are almost finished, they need some testing. I can send you an email if you want to help testing. | 15:19 |
| superm1 | well the intrepid CDs weren't generating | 15:21 |
| superm1 | so testing them ends up a little difficult | 15:21 |

| pitti | tseliot: is that really dkms? It looks like the makefile/configure from the driver you are DKMSifying | 15:37 |
| tseliot | pitti: yes, right | 15:38 |
| tseliot | pitti: it's the NVIDIA driver | 15:38 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, how much do you plan on slipping on the alpha then? | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | superm1: don't know at present, it's on the platform team agenda for tonight | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | I was unexpectedly off for a week, which didn't help | 15:39 |
| superm1 | tseliot, what pitti is saying is that you can possibly just compile the kernel modules rather than having to run the whole make/configure | 15:39 |

| kirkland | pitti: did the auto sync with debian happen yet? | 15:47 |
| pitti | kirkland: I actually did a run this morning, but it seems that ftp.uk. is out of date | 15:48 |
| kirkland | pitti: i could use a sync of ecryptfs-utils | 15:48 |
| pitti | kirkland: I'll do a manual sync then, if it's urgent (download Debian pacakge and dput it) | 15:49 |
| kirkland | pitti: i don't have upload priv's.... where would I dput it? REVU? | 15:49 |
| pitti | kirkland: I'll do it, don't worry | 15:50 |
| kirkland | pitti: okay, just for clarification, where were you suggesting I dput it? | 15:50 |
| pitti | kirkland: no, I said I'll do a manual sync | 15:50 |

| tjaalton | pitti: hey, I noticed your post about vdr. aren't the packages in hardy fresh enough?-) | 16:00 |
| pitti | tjaalton: haven't tried them myself TBH; admittedly it was just hearsay | 16:00 |
| tjaalton | hardy has the latest stable version, and maintaining the devel-series is a pain since the ABI keeps changing, and plugins should be rebuilt every time that happens (basically for every upstream devel-release) | 16:01 |
| tjaalton | e-tobi does have a lot of plugins, and I used to use it for my setup, but most of the plugins are pretty bad or dead | 16:02 |
| tjaalton | so for hardy we (Ng and me) decided to pull some of the more useful ones that debian didn't have | 16:03 |
| tjaalton | pitti: anyway, he's more than welcome to join the team ;) | 16:09 |

| xivulon | Mithrandir, hi | 21:10 |
| * Nafallo tickles Mithrandir | 21:10 | |
| xivulon | Mithrandir, one of your comments was reported in 230703, | 21:10 |
| xivulon | is there any plan to fix hibernation? | 21:11 |
| Mithrandir | to fix hibernation for casper? | 21:12 |
| xivulon | the issue being that if the initrd mounts a journaled filesystem that was hibernated, once the system resumes from hibernation you get fs corruption | 21:12 |
| xivulon | I am concerned that there are a few of those situations in place already | 21:12 |
| xivulon | other than 230703 (which was reverted) | 21:12 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: please take that to bug 41624, where I have commented | 21:13 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 41624 in partman-basicfilesystems "Replaying journals of other OS's filesystems, by mounting them, is unsafe" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41624 | 21:13 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, thanks, will do that | 21:13 |
| xivulon | was only wondering if that could be fixed somehow when resuming hibernation rather than preventing other packages from mounting fs | 21:14 |
| cjwatson | no, it can't | 21:15 |
| Mithrandir | ideally the fs should have a revision counter of sorts and the hibernation should check the revision counter has not changed when resuming. | 21:15 |
| cjwatson | there's still potential for data loss there surely | 21:15 |
| Mithrandir | which would give you some sort of data loss, but if you're already in that situation, it's better than resuming and blasting the fs more or less out of existence. | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | we can't fix all the other systems in question, though | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | trivially, Windows | 21:16 |
| Mithrandir | true. | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | still potential for data loss> e.g. open applications with unsaved data | 21:17 |
| Mithrandir | it's in no way a replacement for not replaying journals of hibernated file systems. It's a recovery mechanism when that has already happened. | 21:17 |
| ion_ | Perhaps each OS (that we can control) should write a per-installation UUID to mounted partitions to say “i have mounted this” and remove it when umounting. Mount could then refuse to write anything to partitions it thinks are mounted by another OS, that is, mount readonly, not replay the journal. | 21:21 |
| ion_ | Someone could even write a program for Windows® that writes such a thing to the filesystems, without needing to modify the actual OS. :-P | 21:22 |
| ion_ | Although what Windows® decides to mount might not be that easy to control. | 21:23 |

| [cliff] | hi all | 21:40 |
| [cliff] | I just got home to find out my laptop didn't suspend properly if I remove an USB drive while it's suspending to ram. end result, the bloody machine was carried inside a bag for more than an hour at full throttle. how can I debug this crap so that it doesn't happen again? I'm running hardy (which I refuse to call LTS given the amount of trouble I've had with it) | 21:40 |
| [cliff] | last useful message in logs is: Jun 11 19:42:00 starfish gnome-power-manager: (cpinto) Suspending computer. Reason: The suspend button has been pressed. | 21:41 |
| brandon|work | It is still LTS, the amount of trouble you have doesn't dictate the length of support time :-/ | 21:41 |
| brandon|work | and what kind of laptop is it? | 21:42 |
| [cliff] | brandon|work that's a good point, but it isn't as stable as an LTS should be (my perspective) and I've been using it since 4.10 | 21:42 |
| [cliff] | hp dv1245 | 21:42 |
| calc | slangasek: can you approve the 2.4.1 upload? | 21:43 |
| stgraber | [cliff]: always depend on the hardware ... I didn't have any single crash on my lappy since Hardy Beta, my uptime is only reset when I upgrade the kernel | 21:43 |
| slangasek | calc: I rather want to get the current package in -proposed copied to -updates first, if possible... | 21:43 |
| stgraber | so you can't really say if a release is stable or not, it will always be for some people and won't for others | 21:44 |
| [cliff] | i'm really open to whatever suggestions you may have. if there's a kernel param I need to set, let me know. if it's an acpi tweak, please tell. what I don't want is for the laptop to blow my back to smithereens :-) | 21:44 |
| brandon|work | [cliff], have you tried booting with the acpi=off option? | 21:44 |
| [cliff] | stgraber, yeah, I miss those days too :-) I once had an uptime of 2+months with this very same hardware | 21:44 |
| Mithrandir | brandon|work: that's hardly a solution for a laptop. | 21:44 |
| Mithrandir | [cliff]: I'd start by not pulling out hardware while the system is suspending or resuming. :-P | 21:44 |
| brandon|work | worked with mine for 6.10 | 21:44 |
| stgraber | you said "if I remove an USB drive while it's suspending", what about just not doing that ? | 21:45 |
| [cliff] | brandon|work no, not really, but I'm giving it a shot | 21:45 |
| [cliff] | Mithrandir why not fix the software problem instead so that no one else gets to hear of it? :-) | 21:45 |
| stgraber | removing devices when drivers are unloaded or suspended is clearly not a good idea and I'd expect that to crash ... | 21:45 |
| calc | slangasek: ok | 21:45 |
| [cliff] | brandon|work any more suggestions? I'm taking notes so I'll try all of them | 21:46 |
| calc | slangasek: how do we go about doing that? | 21:46 |
| [cliff] | brb | 21:46 |
| slangasek | calc: hmm, maybe I should think twice about that, though, since that means double the bandwidth from users grabbing -updates | 21:46 |
| calc | slangasek: fwiw the 2.4.1-1ubuntu1 is the same as rc2 except for a few changes in ooo-build | 21:46 |
| stgraber | we can't lock your USB drive in the socket while the driver is being unloaded, so the kernel panic / oops / ... makes sense to me and the user should just not change their hardware configuration when suspending (I wouldn't do that with any OS actually) | 21:47 |
| calc | slangasek: they just renamed rc2 to 2.4.1 final since there were no new blockers found | 21:47 |
| slangasek | calc: ok, I'll have a look at whether that's reasonable to feed into -proposed then, thanks | 21:47 |
| [cliff] | stgraber, I'm here for solutions mate, not workarounds | 21:47 |
| * calc will take a look at the ooo-build diff here as well | 21:47 | |
| [cliff] | stgraber, if the kernel ooops shouldn't it be in the logs? | 21:51 |
| stgraber | when it fails to suspend, does it go back to gnome or just get stuck there and needs rebooting to go back to something usable ? | 21:53 |
| [cliff] | stgraber, stuck, no keyboard response but video's (at least the monitor) on | 21:53 |
| [cliff] | only way is to power off | 21:54 |
| cjwatson | coo, we can sync xkeyboard-config | 21:54 |
| cjwatson | big pile of patches merged upstream, plus pre-hardy upgrade code ... | 21:55 |
| stgraber | [cliff]: ok, then if it's a kernel panic, you won't get any debug information logged because the whole system crashed, syslog included | 21:55 |
| [cliff] | as a side story, I've been muttering about this for a long time now: would you guys, at Canonical, accept donated hardware to perform regression testing? e.g. in a few months I'm retiring this laptop, do you have any QA program for regression testing that would like to receive it (minus hard-drive of course)? | 21:56 |
| [cliff] | if there is no such QA, would Canonical consider starting one? | 21:56 |
| lukehasnoname | [cliff] killdisk | 21:56 |
| [cliff] | stgraber, what about kern.log? does it depend on syslog too? | 21:57 |
| [cliff] | never mind, i'll check that | 21:57 |
| [cliff] | yeah | 21:57 |
| [cliff] | right, you have a point stgraber. almost i'd say... shouldn't the caps/scroll/numlock keys flash when an oops occurs? I remember that happening on desktop systems | 21:58 |
| stgraber | well, I never had one with 2.6.24 so I don't know :) but I remember of that behaviour with older kernels yes | 21:59 |
| [cliff] | brb (prep'ing chow) | 21:59 |
| [cliff] | right, so let me exclude that for now. any idea on how to debug kernel? I remember something had to be turned on to make it accept magic sysrq combos | 22:03 |
| slangasek | calc: um, clearly this isn't "the same as rc2 except for a few changes in ooo-build", it shows a merge with Debian which brings in various changes to debian/ | 22:04 |
| calc | slangasek: ugh i forgot about that, of the changes in 'Debian' we have bugs about the filter-binfilter, the icon sizes (which why he credited me), so the only change we don't have a bug already is about the broffice bit | 22:06 |
| calc | i didn't annonate those since they were listed as fixed in the debian part of the changelog | 22:07 |
| calc | lp#237484 is about the icon sizes | 22:07 |
| slangasek | there are no LP bug numbers in the Debian part of the changelog | 22:07 |
| slangasek | which means we can't track them through LP as part of the SRU... | 22:07 |
| * calc adds the 237484 to sru | 22:08 | |
| * calc sees if he can track down the number for the binfilter one | 22:08 | |
| calc | grr i can't seem to find the binfilter bug :-\ | 22:11 |
| * calc doesn't remember what the filer called it | 22:11 | |
| calc | other one is 234917 | 22:14 |
| calc | both have been marked for hardy and ubuntu-sru subscribed | 22:15 |
| slangasek | calc: ok - are you intending to re-upload with a fixed changelog, so these are trackable through the available reports? | 22:21 |
| calc | slangasek: i can if you would like, it takes ~ 1-1.5hr to reupload though on my dsl | 22:22 |
| slangasek | calc: if you can spare the bandwidth, I would appreciate being able to use our normal tools for tracking the bugs | 22:22 |
| [cliff] | back... can't jam it again. tried about 10 times, plugging and unplugging usb drive, usb mouse, with power, without power on, also closing lid, with lid open... I'm guessing it happens when some special alignment happens in the universe. | 22:23 |
| calc | slangasek: ok | 22:23 |
| calc | slangasek: i can use the same version number for the upload? | 22:23 |
| slangasek | calc: yes, please | 22:23 |
| [cliff] | it's not the first time, usually it happens when I leave the laptop on the desk so it doesn't bother me much but having it running so hot inside a bad was "it" for me | 22:23 |
| calc | ok | 22:23 |
| [cliff] | so if anyone has more suggestions, please share | 22:24 |
| calc | slangasek: lp knows to just close the bug for the hardy bit right since i am uploading to hardy-proposed? | 22:24 |
| compbrain | cjwatson: ping | 22:24 |
| slangasek | actually, lp won't close it at all, we get to close them by hand :) | 22:24 |
| slangasek | (we == SRU team) | 22:25 |
| calc | slangasek: ah ok | 22:25 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: yes? | 22:28 |
| compbrain | I'm updating #234486, im hitting a block with kernel/module mismatch with images in proposed/i386/current | 22:29 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: are you certain they're 2.6.24-16? That's very odd because they're supposed to be -19 | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: does uname -r say 2.6.24-16? | 22:32 |
| compbrain | hrm. | 22:34 |
| compbrain | This may be a mirroring issue, let me double check | 22:34 |
| cjwatson | I booted the mini.iso there in kvm, and uname -r says 2.6.24-19-generic | 22:35 |
| calc | slangasek: uploading now, should be done in an hour or so | 22:35 |
| slangasek | calc: cheers | 22:35 |
| cjwatson | however, I do get the kernel module error ... ah | 22:35 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: -19 isn't in -updates yet, so you need to put "apt-setup/proposed=true" on the kernel command line | 22:36 |
| compbrain | alright, good to know i'm not going crazy | 22:36 |
| compbrain | will give that a shot. | 22:36 |
| compbrain | I can't keep track of all the kernels moving into proposed these days | 22:36 |
| cjwatson | my bad for forgetting to mention it earlier; I've updated the bug report | 22:36 |
| compbrain | cheers, thanks for the nudge. | 22:37 |
| cjwatson | am just confirming the fix now | 22:37 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: yeah, works for me with that addition | 22:42 |
| compbrain | I fat fingered the debconf line, giving it another shot | 22:42 |
| [cliff] | cheer-io-s | 22:46 |
| compbrain | There needs to be a better way to determine the first bootable disk to install on, as opposed to the first disk detected | 22:51 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: sadly it's very difficult to extract this from the BIOS | 22:52 |
| compbrain | Yeah. | 22:53 |
| compbrain | The sun X4500 is especially fun, where the bootable disks are named sdac and sdy | 22:53 |
| ogra | you could try to interpret existing mbr's though | 22:54 |
| compbrain | hacky at best | 22:54 |
| ogra | indeed | 22:54 |
| cjwatson | it's not even clear that using the first bootable disk is unambiguously sensible | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | after all, if you have two disks and one of them already has a boot sector on it, then that clearly already has an OS on it that you might not want to erase; I can see an argument that in that event it would be better to default to the blank disk | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | in practice, the "first disk" hack in partman-auto is really not intended for any of this | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | its purpose is to simplify things when you only have one disk to start with | 22:57 |
| compbrain | thats fair. I'm thinking in the use case of enterprisey blast-an-image-out to all machines technique | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | on systems with more than one disk, I expect that people doing unattended installations would want to do something more sophisticated and ignore any defaults we set anyway | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | which they could do with preseed hooks | 22:58 |
| compbrain | I'm thinking something like 'user left a sd card in the reader' or had an external backup drive connected | 22:59 |
| pwnguin | someone filed aboug about leaving a usb drive in accidentally; i cant remember the resolution | 23:05 |
| compbrain | cjwatson: Everything works out with the apt-setup config item. Much thanks, again | 23:14 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: good stuff | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | compbrain: can you put that in the bug log if you haven't already, so that it can be considered for hardy-updates? | 23:15 |
| compbrain | Yup. | 23:16 |
| YokoZar | How do I make a "post from the developers" comment on brainstorm? | 23:31 |
| ajmitch | jcastro would know | 23:32 |
| jcastro | YokoZar: tell nand or stgraber that you'd like to get developer access and they'll set you up. | 23:35 |
| YokoZar | stgraber: I'd like Brainstorm developer access ;) | 23:36 |
| james_w | YokoZar: they need your numeric user id, if you don't know it log in and click your user name. | 23:39 |
| YokoZar | 10632 | 23:39 |
| === nenolod_ is now known as nenolod | ||
| stgraber | jcastro: you should remember we both in the CEST timezone (00:40) so not very likely to answer at that time of the day :) | 23:42 |
| stgraber | YokoZar: done | 23:42 |
| YokoZar | stgraber: thank you :) | 23:42 |
| jcastro | stgraber: ah ok, next time I'll just have them send you mail | 23:42 |
| stgraber | that remains me I really should spec that LP integration bit and move everything to OpenID :) | 23:43 |
| kirkland | is there a "proper" way for a script to write to /etc/fstab? | 23:44 |
| kirkland | ie a library, or another program, or script, or such? | 23:44 |
| kirkland | kees: ^^ ? | 23:48 |
| kees | kirkland: uhm | 23:49 |
| * kees ponders | 23:49 | |
| * ogra doesnt think something like that exists | 23:49 | |
| kirkland | kees: see 'man fstab' | 23:49 |
| kirkland | i'm concerned about "fstab is only read by programs, and not written" | 23:49 |
| * kees punts to slangasek or others deeply familiar with conf file management | 23:50 | |
| kirkland | kees: good call.... slangasek? | 23:50 |
| slangasek | if by "script" you mean "package", then no there's no proper way to write to it :) | 23:51 |
| slangasek | but of course, /etc/fstab itself is created by the installer, so you can probably steal info from there | 23:51 |
| kirkland | slangasek: no, by script i mean a shell script I'm working on for setting up per-user ~/Private encrypted directories | 23:52 |
| kirkland | slangasek: I need to add an fstab entry for those | 23:52 |
| kirkland | slangasek: I have shell code that works, but I was checking to see if there was any existing API | 23:52 |
| slangasek | API> nope | 23:52 |
| ogra | does it really need to be in fstab ? how about using gnome-mount instead ? | 23:53 |
| kirkland | slangasek: kthx | 23:53 |
| kirkland | ogra: what about server installs with no gnome? | 23:53 |
| ogra | (surely needs some hal integration though) | 23:53 |
| kirkland | ogra: i think for non-root users to be able to mount, it MUST be in fstab | 23:53 |
| kirkland | ogra: see "man mount" for that one | 23:54 |
| ogra | well, there is pmount (for which pitti would be reluctant to get it back to main though) | 23:54 |
| kirkland | ogra: interesting, never heard of pmount... what's wrong with it? | 23:55 |
| ogra | kirkland, i know how it is, i wrote a lot of ltspfs which needs to deal with such issues a lot | 23:55 |
| ogra | its been replaced by gnome-mount in ubuntu | 23:55 |
| * kirkland offers an empathy hug to ogra | 23:55 | |
| ogra | and pitti was happy to let it go and not have to maintain it ... but ideed there is no gnome-mount on servers | 23:56 |
| kirkland | ogra: yeah, that's a bummer, we need to be able to do this with/without gnome | 23:57 |
| ogra | but mangling fstab is/can become quite dangerous | 23:57 |
| compbrain | cjwatson: You wouldn't happen to know what the kernel command line length limit in the netboot kernels is would you? | 23:58 |
