[00:00] I don't know how or if it's possible, but my 8800M is not correctly detected by the driver manager. Would it be possible for Ubuntu to take the binary package from Nvidia.com and package it for Hardy/Intrepid, so 8 series mobile cards can be supported automatically? [00:09] finally i think i got my chroot done right [00:30] nope my chroot got messed up again.lol === rockstar_ is now known as rockstar [00:53] Anyone here to help me with creating a intrepid chroot, im running into hell when trying to follow the guide. [02:11] How can I have quilt version an empty file? === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal [03:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5194590#post5194590 [03:38] any other motu's around that would be able to take a quick glance at a package i threw together? [03:40] superm1: I can do a quick glance, but not a proper review. URL? [03:40] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~motu/coreavc/ubuntu [03:40] that's a bzr URL [03:41] persia, ^ [03:41] README.Ubuntu? [03:41] it's not going into debian yet. [03:41] it's a makeshift solution until the patches for it's enablement float out to a lot of other packages [03:42] heh. Why compat 5? Not 6 or 7? [03:42] backportability [03:42] You don't need XS- in Vcs-Bzr: anymore [03:42] (except maybe for backportability) [03:42] yeah that's why i left it, in case [03:43] Are you backporting to Dapper, feisty, or gutsy? [03:43] as far back as gutsy at least [03:43] probably no more than that though [03:43] OK. Gutsy does better with XS- [03:43] sup persia and superm1 [03:45] The manpage is clearly incomplete :) -b, -g, and -o are not defined. [03:45] yeah i dont know what they do yet [03:45] upstream hasn't documented them well [03:45] Heh [03:45] that's another issue though ;) [03:46] You don't need to overload get-sv-source or export-svn-source, as CDBS doesn't have these rules. [03:46] when you say overload, you are referring to the double ::, correct? [03:46] Yep. [03:47] Also, why `ln -sf` rather than `cp` for Makefile? [03:47] I didn't ever realize that was for overloading. I had thought it was just syntax [03:47] functionally equivalent? [03:47] It means that you are defining a rule that may also be defined elsewhere. make concatenates all the :: rules to generate the rule used. Having :: rules depend on things tends to cause odd behaviours. [03:48] Ah i see. [03:48] This is why the CDBS documentation tells you to use things like makefuilddir/dshowserver::, rather than trying to overload the regular rules. [03:49] Now, as an exercise, explain the differences between "=". ":=", and "?=" [03:49] it's when they are evaluated [03:50] succinct, and correct. 10 points! [03:51] i always mix them up, so if things dont work right the first time, i try the next one :) [03:51] superm1: Ah. That explains your use of "=" for CFLAGS [03:52] SVN_REVISION is the only one that really wants to be "=", and it would probably be better to be "?=" [03:53] theo ther 3 would be better off as "=:" then I take it? [03:54] ":=" I think [03:54] * persia checks again [03:54] oh you're right yeah [03:54] i just mistyped [03:55] Right. := is best for things you set at parse-time. ?= is best for things that have expensive evaluations that you want at runtime. = should only be used when you want to run the calculation again for each call. [03:55] yeah i switched those around and still functional. [03:56] Whether TARFILE or SVN_REVISION should be ?= or := depends on how they are defined in CDBS. You might well want ?= for those. [03:56] CFLAGS and SVN_URL should definitely be := [03:58] Bah. CDBS executes DEB_SOURCE_PACKAGE unconditionally as :=, so even := works :( Ought be ?=, but I suppose using := makes it less confusing to write debian/rules [03:59] yeah [04:02] thanks for looking through the package persia [04:04] superm1: No problems. I'm a bit rusty at package review, and didn't do any of the usual lintian or license checking, so I don't promise it's perfect, but not much missing. [04:08] persia, yeah, i've run lintian and the license is pretty basic (GPL), so should be okay. I'm going to get a few folks to test it (i dont have a license for the proprietary piece you need for it to work yet), before i'll push it [04:45] I know this is off topic, but is there a channel for automake/autoconf questions?

[10:53] persia: I have made the changes in the directorytree and changed the changelog, but forgot where to go from here [10:53] askand: And your changelog has the updated version? [10:54] persia: yes [10:55] OK. You can build the candidate source package with `debuild -S -us -uc` (or just `debuild -S` if you have your GPG key all configured) [10:55] Then, change to the parent directory, and call debdiff repository-version.dsc candidate-revision.dsc > candidate-revision.debdiff [10:55] Check this file to make sure it contains exactly the changes you wanted. [10:56] Hm I get an error from debuild; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -S failed [10:57] askand: OK. You likely got a couple errors above that. Pastebin? [10:58] persia: http://pastebin.com/mf04e8e5 [10:58] im afraide bits of it is in swedish [11:00] Swedish is fine. I mostly only have trouble reading these error messages in Devengali-based scripts. :) [11:00] ok :) [11:01] askand: How did you update the changelog? [11:01] persia: with gedit [11:01] ? =-O [11:02] askand: Aha! Your format isn't quite right. Try removing your entry, running `export EDITOR=gedit`, and calling `dch -i` [11:08] persia: thanks now it worked :) [11:10] askand: Excellent. Good luck with your candidate.

[11:57] persia: well. after reading your mail... i'll have much to working on, [11:57] :) [11:57] gaspa: OK :) How often are you about this early in the afternoon? [11:58] mmm.. .don't know .. i'm quite busy. [11:58] OK. Well, email works :) [11:58] oh ,sure. ;) [12:02] persia: just two thing... i found a server on which i' could generate xml. So ubuntuwire could only link me, or host only the xml file. [12:02] the second: i'm uploading it all to my bzr. [12:05] gaspa: Putting it in public VCS is always good :) As for hosting vs. linking, I'm not the best person to ask. Try in #ubuntuwire. [12:06] persia: great. [12:09] Someone can review pidgin-msn-pecan on revu? http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=pidgin-msn-pecan [12:31] dholbach: Thanks for those videos [12:36] dholbach: would you happen to know where the UDS Prague videos can be downloaded? [12:42] Is there any more detailed textual `tutorial` on what dholbach explained here http://youtube.com/watch?v=VyEl3w7SFK4&feature=related (and the following videos)? [12:44] dennda: YouTube doesn't work for me. What is the topic? [12:44] persia: MOTU Getting started and How to build a package [12:44] (Very basic in 3 x 6 Minutes) [12:45] dennda: As for getting started, I think the best way is to find a bug that bothers you, and find a solution, and get a patch into the archives. [12:45] As for building a package: a source package consists of some upstream source, and a debian/ directory for the meta-information. [12:46] The essential files in this directory are control, copyright, rules, and changelog. [12:46] persia: Yes, dholbach nicely explained that. I just wonder whether there is a more complete documentation on the process [12:47] dennda: I really ought to get around to updating https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing , but it encapusaltes some of my previous thoughts on how to get involved with MOTU. [12:47] I am not a C hacker, but got a package (memaker) included in hardy which has been fetched from a revision that is not up to date and has some bugs. I fixed those bugs in a more recent revision and would like to have that fix included. (Just for getting my hands dirty. The package isn't too important) [12:48] For packaging, I recommend you work with existing packages for a while, as this will help build your experience with the many different possible correct ways to package things, and let you build some opinions. [12:48] (I did not build that package in the first place but am one of the authors of the project) [12:48] If you just want to update a package, unpack the new source, copy in the old debian/ update the changelog, adjust any patches that no longer apply, and run the package checkers again to see if policy changed in a way that requires your action. [12:49] dennda: there were rumors that memaker is dead upstream [12:49] sebner: apparently not :) [12:49] persia: hrhr, I see [12:49] persia: how are you doing with your intrepid chroots :P [12:50] sebner: There has been no commit for quite some time, that is correct. I myself havn't had the time to do much for it due to university studies and now I am in GSoC, but the initial author sent a nice "Let's get it on for 2.0"-mail to the dev-list [12:50] (yes, we have something like that :)) [12:50] sebner: They continue to be dormant. I expect I'll be sorting them in the next couple days now, as I've some incentives. [12:50] Hobbsee: Around now. [12:50] persia: kk ^^ [12:50] Good $TIMEOFDAY all. [12:50] 'lo [12:50] ScottK: hi, you failed I suppose :P [12:50] sebner: Yes. [12:51] np [13:10] hi folks [13:11] geser: Do you mind if I do the vegastrike merge? [13:16] Laney: Does that really still require a merge? I thought all the changes got back into Debian. [13:18] persia: I'm using merge as shorthand for "Check if it still requires a merge, and do the appropriate work" [13:19] Laney: Ah. OK. [13:27] @now mst [13:28] Hobbsee: Current time in MST: June 16 2008, 05:27:58 - Current meeting: Bugs for Hugs Day [13:28] hm [13:29] someone knows what's the status of python-xml package? should be merged or not? [13:30] ScottK: you, perhaps? :p [13:31] gaspa: It'd be nice to try and get rid of it actually. [13:31] ScottK: ok, so it's not worth mergin it, right? [13:32] gaspa: If we succeed in getting rid of it, no. If we don't, yes. [13:32] At this point I'd suggest lookng at the remaining rdepends and see if they can be taught not to need it. [13:33] let's see... [13:38] ScottK: strange: pyslide doesn't depends on it for 0.4-10ubuntu2, while reappear on 0.4-10ubuntu3... [13:39] Yes. Look at the bug closed in ubuntu3 === persia_ is now known as persia [13:45] ScottK: there are at least 22 packages that doens't seem to be even touched for this issue [13:46] ScottK: there's a list with the commands used: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/20611/ [13:47] gaspa: That's a bit of an odd list as some of those packages don't even exist in Intrepid (schooltool was removed). [13:47] ah [13:48] ScottK: isn't that a sync? https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/apache2/2.2.9-1ubuntu1 [13:49] ScottK: or did he just didn't mention always the same ones [13:50] sebner: Apache is in main.

[Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/240365 [13:51] sebner: I pinged the guy that uploaded it. [13:51] ScottK: ah, O_o no stress about that. maybe he just didn't write the usual changes+ [13:51] can we sync package directly into main? [13:52] sebner: No. The changelog is correct. [13:53] ScottK: so? [13:53] ScottK: in intrepid there are only 15. (only?) :P [13:54] gaspa: We had ~60 when we started on it in Hardy, so that's not so bad. [13:54] :) [13:54] I'm pretty sure there's a newer python-zsi than the one we had for Hardy that doesn't need python-xml anymore. [13:55] well, there's also python-xml-doc that perhaps doesn't matter. ;) [13:55] That could be removed with python-xml. [13:55] and -dbg [13:55] Also python-xml removal is a goal in Debian, so maybe this stuff is fixed there too. === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ [13:57] freeflying_: ping [13:57] freeflying_: you'll need to write a MIR for it iirc [13:57] (main inclusion report) [13:58] huhu sistpoty =) [13:58] hi sebner [13:58] sebner: pong [13:58] freeflying_: you are chinese, would you translate something for me?

It's in hardy-proposed. Read here: http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=210 [14:22] lukehasnoname: make sure you uninstall the one from NVIDIA's installer first [14:23] Xand3r: we'll see in 7 minutes or so, then it should get picked up by revu's cron job [14:23] nvidia-installer eats babies. i'd suggest not running it [14:23] unless you REALLY hate babies [14:23] ok thx sistpoty [14:24] np [14:24] Well I've already run it, and stuff works alright now. I'll use the hardy-proposed one next install. Does -proposed means packages that are looking to get into the general repo? [14:25] ScottK: weird... I'm unable to trigger script failure with version in hardy-release. I'll subscribe myself to the bug and perform a deeper check later this evening when I come back home (in about three hours). [14:25] DktrKranz: OK. Thanks. [14:25] DktrKranz: You've never had that package set up before have you? [14:25] no, clean hardy box [14:26] Odd. [14:26] Thanks for looking into it. [14:27] Indeed, but this is probably due to some packages which are missing, my VM is very lightweight [14:27] it's not a default setup, I'll check with a common one at home [14:28] Thanks [14:28] * ScottK has to use some Windows only teleconference service today. [14:28] * ScottK allowed 2 hours to get his Windows install updated and set up (haven't booted it in months) [14:29] Awethome Scottk [14:29] It may not have been enough. [14:29] ScottK: run windowsupdate, then. It may blow up in 14 seconds... 13... 12... ;) [14:30] DktrKranz: I've done that. 3 reboots later I think I'm up to date. [14:30] I used Vista on Saturday to play Dawn of War and Counter Strike... It reminded me of a few complaints I have about Ubuntu's global hotkeys. [14:30] "reboot after renaming files", good upgrade mechanism :) [14:30] But in the middle of a round of DoW it shut down for updates >_< [14:30] lukehasnoname: I haven't used Windows in years. It's only because I haven't gotten around to killing the Windows partition this laptop came with that I even have it at all. === asac_ is now known as asac [14:31] ScottK: I'm sorry for you ;) [14:32] TSEliot, could you look up on the screen a few messages back for my question? [14:32] Client is paying, so we use his platform of choice .... [14:33] ScottK: ah, ok [14:34] lukehasnoname: yes, the stuff in -proposed has to be tested before it can enter the stable repository [14:34] lol, so getmailssh uses bugs, but doesn't use code. tststs. https://launchpad.net/getmailssh... "hm, I put these 5 bugs together into a new cool project" [14:42] now my package is uploaded, i am asking now vor a review, http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=screenie-qt [14:44] tseliot: One last thing: I'll have to look at what version the current nvidia-glx-new is based on,but I'm not sure if the problem was "no avilable driver for 8800M" or "Jockey didn't detect my card correctly". I'd think the former is true, but I don't know. Thanks for pointing to that link, though. [14:45] nvidia-glx-new in hardy has the 169.x driver [14:45] which misses support for about 20 devices [14:45] envy-ng gives access to the 173.x driver === devfil_ is now known as devfil [14:46] mmk [14:47] lukehasnoname: Jokey's compatibility list of cards is based on the module of the driver. If for example driver 169.12 doesn't support your card (geforce 8800) then Jockey will say that it can't find a driver for your card. [14:50] tseliot: that's what threw me though. IIRC, when I first tried Hardy, it said that it installed and enabled restricted nvidia drivers. However, upon restart, No 3d support was available and my res was stuck at 800x600. I then couldn't disable the driver in jockey. [14:57] lukehasnoname: I think that driver 169.12 has a few card ids which are not really supported. This is why (I guess) Jockey let you install the nvidia driver the first time. Of course the driver didn't work but I would like to see why Jockey didn't enable you to remove the driver. [14:58] lukehasnoname: I haven't looked at Jockey yet, however I have promised pitti that I will help him with this kind of stuff. [14:59] tseliot: I don't know. When I clicked the "Enable" button to uncheck it, nothing happened. I don't know; I'm fairly sure we're right about the 8800M just being wrongly identified by the driver. [14:59] and hopefully (probably) 173 will fix it. After all, in 173, 9500M drivers are present, so I'd assume 8 series mobile would be. [14:59] lukehasnoname: yes, that should fix it [15:03] tseliot gets to do it all again with 177.x soon, what with the geforce gtx 280/260 reviews appearing [15:06] directhex: that would require the introduction of a new flavour. I'll make sure that Jockey can handle this properly too. [15:06] if you're lucky, i might have a copy of the readme for 177.x, which would have a compat list. it's not a remotely final version though [15:11] or not, it seems they haven't updated the readme yet [15:13] directhex: each driver will have its own package e.g. nvidia-modalias, nvidia-legacy-71xx-modalias, etc. which will contain the pci ids for the cards [15:14] such ids are taken from the modules [15:14] however we should also rely on a local (and eventually also on a remote) hardware database [15:15] so that for example if a driver flavour works better with a certain card (despite what a driver module reports) we can install that through Jockey === lmr is now known as lmr[lunch] === stdin_ is now known as stdin === radio|work` is now known as brandon|work` [15:37] I'm taking an A+ practice exam, and I think one of their questions is poorly worded. [15:38] It asserts that laptops generate more heat than desktops. I would say that they generate LESS heat, but dissipating it is more of a challenge. [15:39] most exams like that are poor [15:40] lukehasnoname: Thats not really on topic for here, perhaps ##hardware would be a better place [15:40] i can state, hand on heart, 100%, that a laptop does not & will not generate more heat than a desktop [15:40] and that's also true [15:43] Heya gang [15:46] yo yo yo [15:46] boo?

[16:54] <\sh> cu later...tonight for the SRU meeting at 21 UTC [16:55] * lukehasnoname waves [16:57] nhandler: I tend to have limited success with that script. You might try mailing the BTS directly. [17:00] persia: This is the first patch I am submitting to debian. That is why I was trying to use submittodebian. I guess I'll try doing it manually. [17:21] Laney: you can have the vegastrike merge [17:22] nhandler: I use reportbug when I need to file new bugs in Debian (to attach patches) [17:22] geser, Doesn't submittodebian use reportbug? [17:27] I don't know [17:28] can you tell a deb to run ldconfig after it installs itself? [17:29] neurobuntu: Yes, just put the call in the postinst. [17:29] ok thanks [17:29] Be warned that lconfig is wrapped to run once at the conclusion of relevant installations: it is not safe to depend on having run ldconfig later in the postinst. [17:32] sorry can you explain that a bit? [17:45] When I submit a patch to Debian, should I include the change to the Maintainer field to make it comply with the DebianMaintainerField-Specification in the debdiff? [17:48] nhandler: no. It is a Ubuntu specific change, Debian guys are not interested about our policy. [18:02] when I run debuild to finally build my .deb I keep getting the following error: dpkg-genchanges: error: badly formed line in files list file, line 1 [18:02] I get this error even when I delete file from debian/ does anybody know what this error means or how to fix it?
